Very easy, since Bandai's products have easy to follow step-by-step instruction manual. Kinda like Lego. The video you saw of Adam Savage build, more people just make it faster, not easier.

The only thing I recommend getting for newbies that won't invest into the hobby are:

sorry for delay in reply. i started with Tamiya nippers but if you're looking for a basic one that cuts decently, can try a few options:

Hobby Art Workshop

https://www.hobbyartwebshop.com/collections/constriction-nipper/products/minetec-d-1-baby-nipper

GODHAND GHD-PN125

https://shopee.sg/GODHAND-Cutting-T...k6CtfFfN0iHj-u891JvpXtPmRwBRVQEBoCbZIQAvD_BwE

Got a few others, like Tamiya TMY-74035 but that one around 30+

Tried finding workspace with compressor rental over the last 1 year without success. I'm seriously considering giving up the hobby...

Anyone knows any place that rent workspace and compressors?
