What is -bootleg- ??

Hey guys , now I'm telling what is bootleg . Now seriously , people who want to collect more Gunplas than they imagine-they buy bootlegs . Some peoples that I know they buy bootlegs because of some reasons . Bootlegs mainly sold on cheap prices , but their quality is not same as Bandai though . Move on when I was a little kid , I go to a store that sells many toys . I picked up a Lw Dragon brand HG Deathscythe Hell Custom Endless Waltz kit . Don't blame me for picking up that ! That is seriously my first Gunpla . And I don't know that was a Gunpla . I cancelled the assembling because I lost many parts .

Now , what you just saw above is a goddamn original bootleg ! I didn't buy that though , I searched that on Google . Try to look that picture again but with a sharp eye . At the top , it says ' Gundam Epyon SEED ' . I don't even know that Gundam Epyon was in Gundam SEED line .
I think I'm done here , so if you still don't know why people buy bootlegs , they buy bootlegs because they don't even have enough money to buy Bandai's . And people also buy them because bootleg can be used for making battle damages on it . Sayonara , then !

The tools that you need to start building and modelling Gunpla !

Okay guys , here we go !

Side Cutters - Normally , to seperate the gates between the runners , you have to use side cutters that have a flat surface on the other side . Now let me tell you that when I have my first kit , I easily pull the part and just put them together ... ~scary isn't it ?~ So it is useful to have a side cutters.

Utility knife/Box Cutter/Hobby knife-In Malaysia , we don't have many hobby knives~pretty rare~ , but for starters , a utility knife or a box cutter is good too . These things can be used for removing nubs , for those who dont know what nubs are , usually when you cut the piece off the runners - a small tiny thing will stay at there and you can cut away with these knives so keep that in mind .

Tweezers - Tweezers are good for not letting your fingers sticky when peeling stickers off and useful when applying decals !

Sandpapers-Now , the picture above is Tamiya Finishing Abrasives . Sandpapers are for removing nub marks , when we cut off the nubs from the piece - it will leave a white mark on the piece , so the solution is sandpapers !

Fine point pens- These are for doing panel lines . If you did a mistake , take an eraser or a cotton bud and rub it off .

Gundam markers - These are for hiding nub marks too ! You can get this at any hobby store or buying it online !

These are alligator clips attached to a bamboo skewers ! When spray painting , you will need this if you don't wanna risk your hands . 

Primers- These are for protecting your colour from coming off your kit . These are very important when spray painting .

Masking tape- Apply this on your piece and cut it as the same pattern that you don't want the paint to be at .

Spray cans- For spray painting of course ! Shake the can well and spray away !

Topcoat- These comes in different ways . Gloss , Semi-gloss , Flat etc . Topcoats can prevent you stickers , paint , decals after applying them . For now , I don't have them ....

Latex gloves- This is not important but its optional when paintings and stuff .

Now there are some other things that I don't tell you guys above :

Hand painting - this requires patience , take your brush and brush away ! but if your colour does not thicker than you wanted , make sure the one from before dried well and brush again

Decals - Decals comes in 2 different styles : Waterslide decals and Dry Transfer decals . 

So , this is it for today , Comments and critics allowed . Please remind me if I miss something .
