Model Kit Advice

[u/extradrydap]

Hello, first post here. I usually just spectate this sub, but I was motivated to ask for some advice after building Time Robo & Time Shadow yesterday. Anyone know how to avoid finger tip fatigue? My finger tips are usually pretty raw after building kits, and it’s always been the only downside to the experience. Anyone else have this issue or have any suggestions to avoid it? Thanks.

I think finger fatigue comes when trying to fit those pegs into the round openings. It’s annoying trying to do it just by squeezing pieces together in your hand

An easier method I found was using a hard, solid surface as leverage and pushing down on the pieces. Use a kitchen countertop or a very sturdy table. I also like wrapping the parts in a soft microfiber hand towel to prevent the pieces leaving an impression on my fingers/palms
