Dont use scissors, use a cutter. Im sure u hav 1 lying around in some toolbox somewhere, else just buy some generic ones from hardware store, wont cost more than rm5.

haha ok thanks for the tips

gonna go find cutter later. hurm need to use those precision knife?

In the long run yes, but ultimately it depends on what u wan to achieve.

If u just wan to complete ur 1st kit as basic as possible, a cutter is enough and add a box knife. Use the cutter to remove from runners, then slowly n carefully trim nubs using box knife. Cheap and straightforward.

If you wan to use it as a testbed / honing your skill then u can go ahead. There is more advance uses for a precision knife that a beginner might not need to venture into for now.

Generally what i would say is dont overspend on tools, as a beginner is best to just use whatever is available and improvise.

You can also use a nail clipper to remove the part.

ok a cutter and box knife will do for now

i found nail clipper to big to cut from the runners but to trim off nibble might be ok i think

Nail clipper is good to remove nubs from rounded piece.

Hi guys, wanna ask.
I used to buy gunplas and tools from gwinghobby.com and jshobby, but those site does not seem to update their stocks anymore. May I know if there's any better alternatives? Or should I order straight from amiami? Thanks.

gwing change ownership.. safaritoys now.. still no working website...
Js still exist but..

you can try:
Gundam.my.. abit pricy though..
Cruxhobby kelantan base

or just buy from gunpla seller on FB, got plenty... just abit hard to choose items.. dont have catalog n not update or reveal price sometimes...

I like grunt ms due to their more simple design.. but i also hate em.. since i probably build it more than 1 unit..

crux hobby currently the best for me...
new release item comes fast, fair price, and can combine shipping within weight limit with same price.

too bad gwing is gone, they have pretty much good deal when it comes with sales.

Have you guys ever seen the most expensive and rare gunpla kit in the world ??

Hey guys been looking for enamel thinner or tamiya panel accent. Been weeks i got no result. Even gundam.my dont have stock. Anyone can show me shops that carry alot of paints, accessories?

It is very simple to assemble. I like it. Haha

I hate it too. I feel the plastic is a bit cheap. Hurm my machine gun attachment putus when i detaches it

If buy MG does the built quality better?

Depends. Most MG have articulated fingers . If they carry big heavy weapons there a big chance that it'll just fall down. The weapon and palm have a piece of plastic that interconnects with each other but is prone to break if not very careful when detaching it. RG is much worse in this regard.
Also you are being too rough when you detach the machine gun for it to break.

its a model kit.. hv to handle with care.. plastic is plastic.. how you customize your kit wll determine whether the cheap feel is there or not..

1/1 Unicorn announced and more Unicorn gunpla?

wawawa, can give sos? will it able to transform?

Hey guys, I was looking around and stumbled upon CrossBone X1 Full cloth. I really like the design....

I'm looking to get the MG. What do you guys think? Loose parts?

The x1 fullcloth is nice but old and small. The mantel is heavy and limits articulation. There are a lot of small parts that can go missing if you are not careful. If it feels loose use cement to fix it unless you are planning to paint.

It does look nice (from the pics), I saw a few videos about the mantel blocking the articulation.

Now about cement, can you elaborate on this? Or do you mean clay?

I currently have a red frame astray and the left arm comes right off easily..
