Hi, I bought code geass lancelot conquista plastic model and yesterday i started making it with only one pliers, but it seems that im really not good at removing the parts from the plastic frame. also pliers is not effective in removing those little bits of plastic that are left jutting out from the parts, some parts end up looking unclean so i need a help...If you are good at this or if you know of any other more effective and efficient method of doing this, please tell me. And please if you know any livejournal, entry or site of someone who is good at finishing plastic model kit please tell me.

What I'd do was to use a pair of scissors to cut the parts away from the frame, and a nail-clipper to trim off those little bits of plastic left jutting out. It's probably not the smartest thing to do, but it worked.
Hope it helps.

However, instead of scissors, I use an X-acto knife to cut the pieces off of the frames. It can get a little nerve-wracking, but it's still effective. Just make sure that the blade is sharp, and I highly recommend starting with a fresh blade. Dull blades are more dangerous than sharp ones.

I use a combination of a pair of these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagonal_pliers) (for cutting the pieces off the runners, runners are the frames which the pieces are attached to), a sharp hobby blade to cut/"shave" off nubmarks and then if necessary a very fine sandpaper.
