for more details on Grades u can check out first page of this thread

Well MG will be difficult for you on your first try and took alot of time but HG is a good place to practice or you will regret later, when i restart gunpla hobby i took MG first but now i regret about it because it full of noobness. Also your wallet will burn on this hobby and no turning back since you always want more.

For tools i first started with sandokugen(?) tool set that have cutter, screwdriver, twizzer and file if you want to.

Also don't buy it in shooping mall because those are overprice. Personally i buy mainly online store since in my place there only one shop i can buy gunpla but have to drive about 40 minit to get there and they do have good selection but need to buy when it was in stock first or it will be eternity to restock.

Ohh okay understood bro

Actually i'm from PJ. So nearer places would be the curve, one utama. If I get from shopping mall would it be very more expensive? I'm free tomorrow... hands are itchy already

Oh no no turning back? Nvm i'm slowing down on my planted tank hobby dy so can get into gunpla

in BTS u can find the tools in the shop i mentioned earlier kits vary in prices depending on the amount of parts i believe.. some MGs are about rm90.. while some may go up to rm300

Yeah MG is much more expensive, normally the price around 120-200, over RM250 like the Hin-nu, sinanju, sazabi are normally at this price range. HG was normally RM40-80 but smaller than its MG counterpart barring the super massive X Expensive Dendrobium .

And for just a reference for that set:
http://www.gundam.my/detail.php?productid=812

any local hobby shop should sell this
about RM30-40

set contain: cutter,file sanding, tweezer and part seperator

Ok cool another thing i learnt

just a reminder, don't expect the Gundam to look exactly like the photos on the side of the box by just assembling it following the manual

waiting for final image
not sure if want

Picture SPAM of the Monday BLUE!

Thanks Bro, erm actually i'm seriously new and suddently feel like building a model. Don't know about "Hin-nu, sinanju, sazabi" are they the characters? I'l try to google and read what you typed in . Thanks

oh that is a relief if that is true
personally i don't really fancy static fingers though

lurk around in sales thread, find around bts area, compare the price, etc etc
it's actually fun

If wanna straight to for MG, you can't go wrong with Zaku 2.0

i have to say that website seems a bit more expensive for some models.. such as MG Delta Plus can be found at RM165 or lower while the site offers at 178.. not sure about shipping rates or where the location is.. i'm lazy but that's just an example of the prices.. you can check hobby search for the yen rates and convert yourself to see if the price is fair

CONGRATULATIONS to Kamen Rider our fellow forum-er, Well done for winning HG Forever Gundam

Zaku on a diet. looks great!

Infinite Zaku, or Justice Zaku?

Very nice nonetheless

I can recognize 1/100 NG Tieren's arms, outer body shell, crouch (modified), upper thigh and knees.

And oh Zaku's head

Yeah it expensive on some model but this was the first site that i buy before found Gwing and Af Hobby which have more stuff and that site if i remember correctly was RM8 for shipping rate. Just minor complain about that site is that for some reason i always receive damaged box package from them but that probably the deliveryman fault tho.
