Does anyone know how this scriber compares to the bare metal foil scriber? i just want to go over the existing panel lines on plastic model cars.

the bare metal scriber has a much smaller and finer tip, ideal for scribing body lines or modifying doors/trunks, the plastic scriber is more for precise, smooth cutting out the parts from the plastic.

What is this used for in rgds to gunpla?

I use it to re-scribe existing panel lines for emphasis or to add panel lines when customizing.

How good is this scriber for cutting up styrene sheets?

What is the thickness of the sheet? It’s not made to cut but it will after enough pulls/strokes/swipes in the same direction.

are the blades 2mm or bigger or smaller? (how big are the blades?)

Total blade thickness is 0.56mm but the blade cuts a V-shape trench, so the lines you cut will be smaller. Depends on how hard you press and how many passes you make. For reference, the standard mr line chisel blade is .3mm and is about the width of bandai's panel lines.

男**生

操作性バツグン

「クラフトツールシリーズ」は、どれもとても使いやすくて、本品も当然重宝しております。本体の形状などよく工夫されており、刃の動きも力加減も、非常にコントロールしやすいです。極端な話、直線ならはじめに一回だけ定規でアタリをつければ、あとはフリーハンドでもいけるくらいです。カーモデルの場合だと、ボンネットやドアパネルのスジ彫りに使用したら、「けがき針」のときよりもきれいに仕上がりました。また、窓パーツのような割れやすい透明プラも、よく切れる分余計な力が加わらないので、ヒビの心配もなくきれいにカットできました。逆によく切れすぎるので、プラ板をカットするときは必ずカッティングシートの上で行うべきです
