When compared to the market it is undeserving of the title “super”, in comparison to the older Fine Detail Cutters, they are finer in comparison. But there are so many other, now cheaper, options out there which are astronomically finer than these. The mouldline remover is still best in class for what it does and not the worst price in the world.

So what do you I think? I really liked my Micro-Mark seam scraper and if you live in the US, I recommend getting this, as it is cheaper and is able to reach small gaps as well. The Citadel Mouldline Remover is perfectly servicable, with minor limitations. It doesn’t come cheap, but I think it will last a while and when you compare its price tag to specialist hobby tools from Tamiya, it’s not too bad actually. Another thing to bear in mind is that the way the cutting of the blade is angled, left-handers will have a really hard time to use it. An additional note, they also do not sell replacement blades. So for reference, you need a size-11 Model Blade. (not a scalpel blade they have a different profile and won’t fit. So, first off, this is not an NDA thing, it’s just bad practice as a reviewer to directly mention other brands in a sponsored review of a particular product. But I am going to take a moment to remind you that we do have articles discussing the best Hobby Drills (because this one is bad) and Best Clippers (where these are ok, they are just expensive). The hobby-knife is decent at least and puts safety first. And finally, the Mouldline remover is still the best one you can buy, and it’s even better than the last.The new version is improved by its much thinner nose, I always found the old model cumbersome and for finer parts, you could not even get this into the details. Now we can get into much finer parts with the new tool and that is a huge blessing. So I squoose them as hard as I could, and guess what, I noticeably blunted the blade which I could feel by running my finger over them. (crossways not lengthways, don’t try this yourself unless you clearly understand how a blade works!) Also known as a “pin vice” the Citadel Drill has a lot of uses. If you’ve never used one of these, they’re a hand drill designed for very small bits. Most of them have an end cap that pivots freely so you can brace the drill against your palm and turn the drill with your fingers. It is the best tool for drilling barrels and barrel ports if you’re into that sort of thing and the current model comes with two different sized bits. They can also be used for pinning, and the two sizes mean you can use things like paper clips or brass rod depending on your project.

Like the others, it has a more ergonomic handle than the previous offering. it’s got curves in all the right places. My favourite parts are how and where the blade is held. If you are at all internet savvy you are probably in one of the many online social groups and know this already, our audience specifically, I hope would be savvy to most of these and would see many of the alternative options before investing in these. I’ve long felt that while GW tools are more expensive than most of what you can find out there, they also are solid tools that work well. You’re paying a Citdel tax, but you aren’t getting junk. Accordingly, I’ve used Citadel tools at every stage of my hobby journey and been happy with how they perform. Also, if it’s a flat edge, it’s not a blade. hence the term “Single-Blade”. I’m sorry GW, but how can we expect to take this range seriously if the tool, it’s function and intention is not clearly defined? Citadel Tools: Mouldline Remover ReviewThe additional notch is intended for base rims so you can clean those up too, on the very rare occasion you have some extras flashing would the edge. but this hardly happens anymore thanks to GW’s moulding quality. So well done GW for making this, but you are already so good at what you do, we hardly need it. What I mean by this is that it’s hard to even find. Look at the Citadel Tools section on games Workshop.com. This is not listed. the only way you can find it is by specifically searching for “Knife” I’m happy to report that in all ways except one, the new mouldline remover is an upgrade. The handle is more ergonomic and less prone to slip. The “blade” of the tool is also narrower, thinner, and has a more swooping curve. This makes it better for use on arms, muscles, pauldrons, etc and makes it easier to dig into crevices to get the last little nibs and nubs. Given the issues with the sprue cutter above, I found myself using it more often than normal on removing leftover sprue and it worked just fine. The current citadel Mouldline Remover is low-key one of the best items Games Workshop makes. Yes, I know, you can use a hobby knife. However, the dedicated mouldline remover is easier, less likely to err and screw up your model, and is much safer. This is one of those tools you scoff at until you use and then wonder how you ever got on without it. I’ve not used the existing Citadel Knife, but having seen the existing one I would be hard pressed to understand the price. Ergonomically it is no different than a basic cheap Xacto knife and it uses the same blades.

Personally, Other than reviewing it, I never use these, I much prefer a hobby knife for doing everything this can – and the next stage of cleanup too. Citadel Tools: Knife ReviewApart from that, they’re as expected. The nose is narrow and can get into fine details, the blades are super sharp and cutting is cleaner and easier than my used Xurons. The handles are also a comfort upgrade from the previous model, though they do feel lighter. Mouldline Remover
