>>6216442>shave off most of the nubs with either godhands or a knife, then sand down the excess with 800 grit paper wrapped around a popsicle stick.personally, I use the cheapest xuron clippers I can find to cut distal on the peg away from model, then shear off the peg til its as near as I can get to the model without inducing pressure stretch marks in the plastic. then I take the cheapest #15 blades I can find on ebay to shave the peg near level. I'll then seam weld with Tamiya extra thin cement, rubber bands to hold pieces together. they bond after a couple minutes, and I then wet sand with 800 grit for big clumps, and polish with 2000 grit. I tend to group the pieces, like I'll cut several pieces off tree, clip them all, then blade them all, cement them all, and finally sand each one down en masse.
I think it comes out pretty well, if you look at the outer most seams vs the inner seams that haven't been touched. pretty cheap too, I'm not spending much on these tools.
it's very zen, like I listen to music, speeches, or other such things as I'm doing this. my most latest guilty pleasure is head massage asmr. super tingly...
