Can I just remove the parts from the frame without clipper/wire cutter? Would that damage the parts?

I just got myself 2 hg kits, but  don't have anything to cut for now.
*
No. There's a high chance you'll tear the part. However New SD and Mega Size are designed that they do not require any cutter.

Just want to ask where do you guys buy the accessories (preferably around PJ)? Like Tamiya Cement, cutter, Gundam marker pen and etc. I looked around the hobby shops in shopping mall but can't find it.
*
Just order online. Tytroum in the garage sales is who i currently get my tools supply from.

hi. im thinking about starting this as my new hobby. which model should i start with? any online shop with nice prices and reputation?
*
If you have patience, i recommend starting with High Grade (HG). Any High Grade is fine, just choose the design you like. You'll also need atleast a clipper and a craft knife. As for where to buy, you can try the below:
Gundam.my
Gundamtoyshop.com
Gwinghobby.com
Gamersarena.com.my

If you want to look at the manual first before buying, you can search at hobby search english site. However the manuals are only available for most models after 2003.

If you want to build fast, you can try the FG or AG. They are cheaper too but lacks the articulation of HG.

thanks. how about NG 1/100? 1/144 like a bit too small for newb like me. will be buying the beginner tools set from gundam.my for a starter.
*
NG 1/100 lacks articulation and design. The last of them was at the end of the oogundam season more less 7 years ago.
If you want similar, go for RE 100. They however have a few models at the moment.

My first Gunpla was a NG because during that time thats the only Red Frame that I can get my hands on, after assembling a real 1/100 MG, I never really looked back to NG.
*
My first is NG 1/144 gundam wing zero. To me it was the best until i got NG 1/144 gundam DX. The HG wing line was kind of suck back then.

got awful lot of nub marks. used clipper and cutter. what other tool can get rid of that? grinding paper would do or not? 
*
Sand paper only use if you are painting the model.
use craft knife, cut gently the nubs and shave them slowly.
it'll take effort, time and a lot of patience to build them. The satisfaction of completion is our reward. Which is why some builders are not collectors.

-clean up nub marks 1st, sanding with sanding paper/sponge/stick
-check for the error part, snap fit all the parts, drill the joint hole
-clean all parts with soap
-applying base primer, once again check the error part
-painting phase,masking
-final assembly and glue the part

forgot to mention this is a resin kit
*
So, currently second phase?

Hmm I have several from Yamato series. Mostly assembled by Hxiik Space Shipyard tongue.gif Recently bought 1/4000 SDF-1.
*
I have a bunch of the non scale. Bought 11 of them for a round RM150.
For a small kit they are quite detailed.
i think i'll collect all of them in this year.

is it possible to paint PG unicorn Psycho Frame to clear green?or not possible at all hmm.gif
*
Not possible. The red color is the plastic not a paint coat. If it is clear then you can paint in any color. If it is yellow you can try a layer of blue but on red it cannot change to green.

A good kind of weird,  like the fenice,  asymmetrical wing gundam.

Not that kind of weird.
You know the story. Kids doing gunpla battle using gunpla models. Not like other series where giant sized robots battled.
So the weird thing I found is, why the HGBF models are listed as 1/144 scale when proportionate to the anime they should be 1/1 scale?

HGBP series also similar with GBF,  and their gunpla also use the 1/144 scale. Its because in that anime universe,  there's also gundam anime (same one with what we have,  except the GBF),  so naturally their gunpla used in gunpla battle is 1/144 scaled from their gundam anime...

Sorry for my confusing explanation
*
Yeah, it is confusing.
Models based on an anime which based them on other anime.
Then it would also be weird for MGBF since all the models used in the anime were only 1/144 ( none of them were MG)
