>>22616250Does fishing qualify as non-combat?
>>22616251Los acrylicos diablos
>>22616274>Mecha musume>Looking at the cool mechanical parts more than the enormous knockers in the middleIm too far gone anons...
>>22616290We all look like this here
>>22616290Oh wow, you posted it again.
>>22616290Go back to the sharty fucking tourist
>>22616251I'm also painting the inner frame. Starting metallic details tonight
>>22616274go make a garbage collector musume
>>22616251trying to figure out what colors work for another kit i’m going to paint, i think i either fucked up the tamiya bronze or it’s just shit bc that looks nothing like bronze on the ventsi primed it with a grey primer, the same as the unpainted torso, idk why it looks like a shiny grey rather than bronze
>>22616345Did you shake the bottle before painting? Maybe the pigment separated. Also Tamiya metallics are not good
>>22616348yeah i shook the bottle, then mixed with some leveling thinner, then mixed again, and airbrushed with that>tamiya metallics i thought about getting alclad copper but i was afraid that might be too orange
>>22616345Cute hand
>>22616351>Leveling thinnerMetallics are the one thing you don't want to use leveling thinner on, but it's just a difference in shine and not this terrible. Maybe try doing more coats and see if it starts looking copper or get a different paint
>>22616361i’ll just get a different paint, three dollars isn’t too much of a waste especially when things are as pricey as they are these days
>>22616365If you live in the US there's no reason to waste your time with brands like Tamiya and Alclad
>>22616375what brands should i waste my time with? the only other brand i’ve seen is testors and that seemed more targeted towards cars and stuff like that
>>22616377Are you airbrushing it or brush painting it? If airbrushing gaianotes and Mr color are the superior choice. If brush painting tamiya enamels are probably your best bet for metallics unless you're willing to go full mini painter non metallic metals on it
>>22616380Alclad is fine for airbrushing tho.
>>22616380airbrushing, i’ll look into those and see if i can get them off amazon or something since i haven’t seen any irl>hand paintingi’ve been using tamiya acrylics for that, are the enamels better for it? i was going to get an enamel for a reverse wash, but again nowhere irl has it so i’d have to order online
>>22616251Working on my horse girl>>22616290Literally me fr
I mixed this paint about a month ago and there's still leftover residue permanently stuck to the bottle inside, I shake it as much as possible and it's not coming off, this isn't a bad sign, is it? I got army painter metal balls in each of my bottles. I haven't painted YET cause I'm still fooling around and taking it slow.
>>22616400I'm confused, why the gloves when no paint?
>>22616404protection from "nice hand" guy
>>22616400How's her model? I'm still waiting for mine.
Has anyone used oil paints thinned down to oil washes for panel lining? How did it go?
>>22616404Habit. I always put my gloves when I build something. >>22616412So far it's good but the horse part gonna be a bitch with all the seam lines.
>>22616251I have nothing to show until the big order of various tools and paints arrives. The forearm and back leg armor parts of hg marchosias have pretty awful seams, I ordered a saw and putty to try and fix it. Will try with both cement and putty, see what works best
>>22616377Gaianotes, Finisher's, Born for chrome and plating type stuffOther brands are for poorfags and europeans that shouldn't be participating in this hobby
>>22616422>seam linesthose are in the articulation parts? Or are they in more "visible" and static parts? Maybe I could fix those with thick glue, sanding and paint, but idk.
is there any trick to making details under mostly opaque clear parts visible? Like a dark, smoky and thick part that only barely qualifies as clear in the first place. I worry very reflective paint or even leds are just gonna look smudged under it
>>22616436Check dalong bro.http://www.dalong.net/reviews/kotobukiya/ar05/ar05_i.htmI'll also paint her (except the skin) so I'm gonna do some glue/putty work.

>>22616469>is company selling grey area legality items legit?you decide
>>22616274man, why do gerwalks have to look so stupidmacross designs would be so much better if nothing looked like / transformed into / had parts from realistic-looking fighter jets
>>22616375>If you live in the US there's no reason to waste your time with brands like Tamiya and Alcladwhat US brand btfos alclad? I thought alclad was the best
>>22616477just go watch transformers or something, fag
>>22616480Alclad is ancient and outdated, most Japanese brands are many levels above Alclad and you can get those brands without any problems in the USOnly EU gets cucked by safety regulations so they have to settle for Alclad and other boomer brands
>>22616469>gundamakerliterally who?>130bux plus shipping lmao you are getting scalped/scammedjust buy from gundamit or aliexpress

>>22616497You do speak retard however.
>>22616497Forget Jews, Japs lose their minds over third party accessories and decals, much less entire model kits with stolen designs. They worship copyright.

>>22616532anon you can't just post my white whale like that with no explanation
>>22616285Don’t worry bro, the gear is the real reason why we all buy them.
>>22616533> white whaleDifferent anon, but I literally saw that at my local hobby shop a couple months back. Pretty sure it gets reprinted with regularity.
>>22616543haven't seen it in many years in my neck of the woods. The closest store didn't even exist the last time it reached my country I think
why is this guy so adamant on shitting up a plastic model painting general. I don't understand.
>>22616549I do not acknowledge AEUG terrorists as a part of Earth Federation Forces
>>22616520Happened to me like 4 times where the site is suddenly in arabic
>>22616551I am extremely grateful for the hide stubs feature
>>22616549based
>>22616551It's typical Duel false flagging as usual
so with Shizuoka basically almost a day away now, have there still not been any chink leaks come out regarding what Bandai has planned to reveal at the event?
>>22616603the chink leaks are always fake anyway so who caresjust wait a day nigger
>>22616551It only works if you take the bait like a retard. Ignore and move on. On topic, I bought the RG Banshee Norn but I want to swap in the blue psycho frame. Are there any decent 3rd party psycho frame parts out there?
>>22616603Bandai is finally enacting TCD
>>22616609Get the RG Phenex and cannibalize it for its Psycoframe, otherwise invest in a 3D printer.
>>22616609The most I see is just replacement parts for the shoulders. Just paint them
>>22616606RG Grandpapa 2.0 was leaked a day early
>>22616625>grandpahello, reddit!
>>22616625Wasn't that "leaked" by an amazon listing?
>>22616632can't even quote properly, it's really a bot huh
>>22616450Why is that? I thought the only matte part of matte was how the surface is uneven. And of course that uneven surface would be filled up if I painted over it.
new physalis just dropped wyt
>>22616549kino
>>22616645angelo would use it wouldn't he
>>22616648maybe if there were more roses, but it’s such a badass ms anyone would use it
>>22616636nah having intermediate even surfaces helps too if you want the glossiest possible finishlook at what model car autists do, those people cum hard to gloss finish on everything so they even buff between each layer of gloss coat to get the most out of it
>>22616450>>22616651>for the best sheen of course you want 0 layers of matte between the armor's basecoat and the surfaceThen why do car base colors all dry matte?
>>22616645give it a sturm dias head
Speaking of which, does Rick Dias have a single good kit?
>>22616662the hg and mg are both fine
>>22616645Nice emperor children dias bro
>>22616662There is a (pbandai lmao) hg revive from a couple years ago that's pretty decent. The MG is ok
>>22616693revive is going way too far, it just updated some joints
>>22616662The MG is good the HG is ok
>>22616662the HG sucks. I hate it so much. Honest.I would be utterly fuming if Bandai reprinted it and I had it at the local store in a few months. It would be the worst thing in the history of worst things.
New Char's Custom Chinkhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUFxg_CcfcM
>>22616326I gotchu senpai. Seeing these chink builds amaze me as much as they horrify me.
>>22616714Urge to vomit rising...
>>22616545it's a red label, so at least that model is 4 years old, probably from a second hand store.
>>22616729What's wrong with her face
>>22616835tragic bowling ball accident
>>22616443Any tips? Other than recasting in clear resin and paint it a light, clear colour.
>put down masking tape for some hand painting>paint>remove tape>it takes off some of the paint it was stuck on>the hand painted color seeped everywhere>try gently rubbing it off>it takes the under layer of paint with itreeeeeeee wtf
>>22616844That area isn't so small to bother wish masking. Just learn better brush control anon. Acrylics?
>>22616852yes, acrylics. maybe i made it too runny or used too much since i have a bad attention span
>>22616854You should have laid down the brighter colour first then the dark grey. Way easier to just paint around the cockpit hatch with a dark colour. Very forgiving.
>>22616858good advice and that’s what i had planned on doing except i forgot and so had to do hand painting instead which ended up making now i have to go back over with the grey whilst covering the lavenderthankfully the cockpit hatch sticker will fit perfectly to cover it
>>22616603Because they blew their load with the bandai hobby expo, unless they drop some more non-gunpla related news at Shizuoka.
>>22616533Got my blue label version last year.
Did I just get a bad kit or does the EG Lah Gundam kind of suck? This thing feels way cheaper (loose joints, waist armor that's barely held on, and shoulders that pop out super easily) than the EG RX-78-2. Like that thing can hold poses that the Lah can't, which seems weird since it's specifically designed using the EG 78-2 as a base. This is the only other EG I've done so maybe the line is shittier than I thought, but I still prefer the EG 78-2 to the HG versions I've built of it.
>>22616903They use the exact same mould so any problems you have are unironically a you issue, as much as I hate to use that terminology.
>>22616603a handful of manufacturers on Twitter have been posting previews but otherwise you're just gonna have to wait. Maybe they'll post stuff a day early

Please GOD give us a MG Tristan Gundam
>>22616935Bandai is full of backwards retard jap boomer businessmen, they saw the hate the HG Tristan got and never reprinted it since
>>22616944Forgot to mention that cause of this blunder, you're more likely to be struck by lightning than bandai suddenly deciding to waste resources on a MG that "wont sell" according to their empirical data
>>22616933I will take a fucking hg anything at this point that isn't just more seed kits.Or if it is a seed kit, GIVE ME MY FUCKING GOOhN NOW
>>22616935Just modify the MG NT-1 2.0
>>22616944Why Tristan so hated?
>>22616972Because it's too good of a kit for all the snapturds
>>22616972From the wiki:>"The 1/144 HGUC Gundam AN-01 "Tristan" Gunpla is widely panned due to its functional, but noticeably dated articulation that comes as a result of reusing the joint parts of the 1/144 HGUC Gundam NT-1 Alex, a kit that was released 13 years prior and is two generations of engineering behind the Tristan's contemporary releases."
>>22617006hguc alex is fine though
>>22617006Snapshitters malding over articulation will always be hilarious
Worth it?
>>22616532>1500 yen >9$ MgI wish flights weren't so expensive right nowWith the recent hlj shipping price hike is it still worth over ordering from us retailers?
>>22617057If you're using surface parcel and don't mind waiting you can save some money
>>22616844i just wanna say, id treat you right
>>22617034it's justified malding though, but if it was p-bandai, people wouldn't care that bandai was being lazy by reusing ancient engineering. What's funny is the other twilight Axis kits were all p-bandai except Tristan for some reason.
didnt really care about the sneed movie, but watching a gundam movie with your local hobby shop in theatre sounds cozy in a kind of way. dont regret not watching it though
>>22617104It's not justified. Every HG released has been fantastic. These people just want toys to play with.
>>22617117It'd be nice if these greasy gooks would ship my order instead of hosting stinky shitskin build days and pagpag movie night
>>22616714kinooooooo
FRSA Winged Dragon of Ra
>>22617119Complaining about color separation or "the kit looks ugly" is sure, skill issue. However, bad articulation is something fundamentally horrible. What's the point of buying ARTICULATED modelkits only for it to not properly articulated? What are gonna do to fix articulation? Breaking your kit apart to make it pose better? You can just buy those statue artpla instead of mecha kits if you think this is not a big issue.
>>22617140So I guess this means we can expect the other 2 Egyptian God cards too?
>>22617150Obviously. I'm more surprised about Osiris not being the first one since he seems to be the most popular.
>>22617140This looks so good manThat said where are dark magician and red eyes black dragon
>>22617153They probably think if they release the less popular one first more people will be willing to buy it.
>>22617140So fucking beautifulI love Ra so much
>>22617153>>22617150
Built the fishing plane. I'm glad that the kit comes with most of the parts in both tan and orange, as I don't have a good color match for the tan and I'm too lazy to paint it all anyways. My goal is to 3D print a little trout for it to harpoon as otherwise there's nothing for it to fish for.
Hey guys is the rg Nu Gundam worth 180 dollars
>>22617167where the fuck in the world do you live where a nu is going for 180 dollars?
>>22617170Argentina
>>22617175Why aren't you buying Zeon kits, Hitler-sama
>>22617178Because a hg Zaku costs around 80 dollars
>>22617148If it can move its arms, legs, knees, elbows, head, feet, and wrists, then there are no valid complaints to be made about articulation.>what are gonna do to fix articulation? Breaking your kit apart to make it better?ESL lol. Also, Yes. Standard practice for modelers who want more from a kit is to modify said kit, that's the fun part of modeling.
>>22617175Well from the brief thing I looked up about your currency spiraling out of control when it comes to inflation, it may be more advantageous to leave that nation for literally anywhere else so gunpla can become easier to obtain.But if you're dead set on staying, idk man. It may be cheaper to find a dude in the US willing to buy one to you and just ship it at that price.
>>22617187I assume you're fine with this level of leg bend then?
>>22617186A-are you fucking okay
>>22617193Yes, but being a gunpla collector here is pain.
Can someone explain to me why people filter their spray booths if they're venting them out to the outdoors?Doesn't the filter significantly reduce the airflow? I just don't see the benefit
>>22617037I really enjoy mine, even if it is the older original Strike frame. the weapon load-out is unmatched and the IWSP pack has a lot of presence even on a shelf with a bunch of other SEED wing suits.
>>22617204doesnt come with the bazooka but its a nice extra if you can find one.
>>22617198I wish nothing but the best for you and your collecting endeavours
>>22617208thanks, y-you too
>>22617213The only things holding me back are autism and neetdom, but thank you anon, it means a lot to know that Hitler has my back.
>>22617191Absolutely, if you can't manage expressive poses with the articulation provided you're a poselet and a brainlet. Stick to marvel legends.
>>22617140That's really nice, I'm looking forward to the remaining gods. I have the Exodia and it was a fun build.
>>22617140Large yikes
>Bought kit from P-Bandai which is Johnny Ridden's Gelgoog>Price is $25>Shipping makes it $45
>>22617260That's what you get for being a snapshitter. Learn to paint.
>>22617262Okay
>>22617277
>>22617282
>>22617117i would rather die than watch any kind of media with the risk of another person in the room disrupting me, even if it's SNEEDshit
>>22617262why yes, I will make the high mobility backpack and rocket bazooka out of paintI should have thought about that
>>22617299The future that non-paintthinners want you to have
>>22617201because if you accidentally blew away the part and it gets sucked by the vent, it's a goner
>>22617220lemme guess, you need more?
>>22617201Because they don't want their fans getting gunked up with paint particles
MG Turn X in Japan is a shelf warmer.
>>22617377anon, it's called a saleand these are red labels so it's a pic from years ago anyway
>>22617379Yeah that's literally the point. It sold so poorly that stock from years ago still remains. I unironically believe only Burgers like Syd Mead's dogshit designs.
>>22617382ah, you're not retarded, just shitpostingso still retarded
>>22617384MG Turn X was a flop.
>it's the MG Turn X bait anon againWhat's next, the guy that acts like a god because he owns one?
Bought the Origin rx-78-2 MG. One of the beam saber slots holds the shoulder gatling gun. What weapon can I look into for the other shoulder? Was thinking a rocket pod if it could fit.
>>22617406Next is your retarded ass giving him attention.
I haven't posted in this thread yet and people are already blaming me for everything lolmao
>>22616285Take the mechanophilia pill, anon.
>>22616714The urge to coom intensifies.Jokes aside, I usually don't like chink designs because they cram too many edges into slim frames, but it somehow works fro me with this chonker.
>>22617277Not the anon you replied to, but you do need to learn to paint.
What kit that you wish they make?
>>22617447Honestly would like to see more G Gundam mechs than just the God and Nobel, give me a John Bull Gundam or Cobra Gundam.With Bandai doing more super sentai and digimon kits lately they have shown they can manage the mechanical/biological aesthetic combination better than in the past, but I guess it would depend on a revival of G Gundam in Japan as in the west it will never exist outside of HAHA SO FUNNY WHACKY DESIGNS memes.

>>22617382No one likes them. Burgers only started pretending to like them and pretending to like Turn A after Syd Mead died. You can start a discussion about Turn A on this board where everyone apparently loves Turn A, they couldn't tell you a single fucking thing about the show.

>>22616249What are your thoughts on this blue for the chest of my gundam? I mixed it with 5 parts Gaia violet and 3 parts Gaia cyan. I feel like it’s a little too violet so I might change it before I put down the panel lines and decals and top coat
>>22617724bare plastic clown / 10
>>22617732It’s painted with all gaianotes paints
>>22617737gaianotes are literally just liquid plastic
>>22617738I’m starting to feel like it honestly. I used Gaia white, nazca steel white, and nazca warm light gray for the white parts and it just looks like bare plastic top coated
>>22617737Anon, lacquer paint medium basically dries into plastic. Unless you do shading and highlighting a painted build will look exactly the same as bare plastic.
>>22617738Literally they are plastics. Synthetic "lacquers" are solventborne acrylic resins, as opposed to "acrylics" (water based acrylic resin emulsions). Both are plastics.
>>22617741So the longsnap meme is right then?
>>22617542>Supernova (former Dragon Momoko)>TT Hongli>Ben Di (ancient brand that does Wing HGs and early SEEDs)>MC Model (known for their Gundoom kits)>Cute Cube (did an MG Woundwort)>Magic Toy (did an MG Hazel before Bandai did)>dunno the name, but the one that made a bootleg of a Red Astray bootleg that Daban sued (lol)
>>22617709cool, but it's entirely "did you guys totally get the reference?!?!??!!" tier shit which is on par with marvelslop
>>22617749recently there's also XFS that made the bootleg Woundwort and a few otherscan't forget Effect Wings either, which make like 50/50 bootlegs and original kits of gundam designs.
>>22617750No, it's from kadokawa, not marvel
>>22617542In Era+, Motor Nuclear, Zao Workshop, SNAA
>>22617542>>22617757 (Me)Personally I prefer In Era+ the most. Motor Nuclear is very spiky (but good) and SNAA (Supernova)'s original looks bad, their Wing bootlegs look good though.
Are the First Grade Gundam kits worth grabbing?I saw a few a little while back and they're still listed for around 10-ish bucks a pop. I planned to use them as paint fodder to test some things out.
>>22617795they're great for that sort of stuff
>kit fully painted>want to pre-assemble it so I can do decal work and panel lining>has a ton of clear parts which will fog up when topcoated if I do thatGod dammit
>>22617812What is masking tape
>>22617812Floor wax the clear parts.
>>22617839tape you can use to cover sections whilst airbrushing so they don’t get paint on them
>>22617724I think the blue is fine but the yellow clashes with it too much. I personally use a less vibrant yellows that lean more towards tan.
>>22617795one thing i always remember about these First Grades are the painted runner "builds"
>>22617873huh, don't think I've ever seen these before. I assume after they're painted up you'd still need to touch up all the nub marks.Which honestly seem like a pain in the ass since you'd need to snip, cut and sand the area down, meaning a lot of extra work.
>>22617876>nub marksThey don't cut the parts from the runners.
>>22617876
>>22617886that's like displaying a taxidermied animal except it was in the middle of giving birth when you killed it
>>22617878>>22617886what the actual fuckwhat is the point?why get a model kit if not to build it?
>>22617891You wouldn't get it.
>>22617896bottom left is very quickly going to be mistaken for a trash can.
i feel like this would be turning out better if the damn fucking bronze actually looked bronze instead of whatever the fuck black it ended up beingat least the cockpit is looking better
>>22617904I've long given up on painting monoeyes. I either use a sticker, or use those Bandai made monoeyes.
New to building MG, Which one is the best action base for a MG? 4? 5?
>>22617907that’s not a bad idea
>>22617907>monoeye>pictured: GundamThe hell is their problem?
>>226179081 was designed for MGs.
>>22617912which one?
>>22617916fuck off
>>22617750Gunpla is marvelslop. Plamo is for real men.
Hello, my father has at a plastic injection factory (not plamo related), and I've shown him RG's GaoGaiGar's hand with the articulated fingers that are injected already built in the sprue and he was amazed, same with the 4 color sprues. I want to show him more impresive stuff, what other kits have such marvels of engineering?
>>22617936The Astray's multicoloured movable frame is pretty nifty
>>22617937Also RG Epyon whip
>>22617936the blazar figurise has some pretty awesome color stuff going on
>>22617937What kit is that? There's a bajillion astrays.>>22617942It comes pre-armed in the sprue?
>>22617946That's the RG one.
>>22617946Yeah, it's even on promotional image
>>22617949I know multi-color sprue printing is fancy and Articulated Parts on the runner is magic.But both? How the fuck did they do that?
>>22617954They hired a German guy to cast kraut magic on it.
>>22617949>>22617937Is Bandai the only Plamo company capable of doing this?
>>22617960Are those a serigraphy or how are they done?
>Volks fucks up proportions again
What's it gonna be?
>>22617963What's wrong with it?
>>22617960>bandaibabies hyping up a literal printed sticker on a plastic part
Kind of a crazy shot in the dark but would anyone here be interested in helping me run a gunpla/hobby booth this year at Anime Expo? I can't pay you but I can give you a 4 day pass in exchange for 2 days of help (1st and last day) and buy you food.
ETA on Shizuoka?
>>22618104It officially opens tomorrow but that's only for industry insiders/press pass holders and then I think the next day is specifically only for students/people under 18
Sirbine is being reprinted but with a special coating
>start assembling the MG Wing Zero EW Ver. Ka >the clear part on the center of the chest already has stress marks after putting it on the kitWhy?!
What are some of your favorite MGs? I recently assembled this as my first and prefer the 1/100 scale.
>>22618155Sometimes there are just flaws in the process.
>>22618158I didn't realize the crystal Unicorn even had an MG version.Looks tasty
is it normal to lose steam on painting when you get bored with a specific mobile suit
>>22617320nice clean snap anon. needs topcoat though.
>>22618158>>22618169How many fucking Unicorns are there?
>>22617447
>>22617542Hemoxian, Big Firebird, Eastern Model, Xuanhua studio
Shizuoka leaks starting to drop
I'm not very cultured, is this from some series? looks like a gyoubu design and might be the first moderoid I buy
>>22616249Still need to gloss coat, decal, panel line, and top coat. I’m glad I went with metallics on the frame instead of just black primer.
>>22617908action base 1, 4 are mg sized2, 5, 7 are hg sized3, 6 are pointless
P-Bandai
>>22616251Gloss or matte top coat?
Bandai's booth at Shizuoka. Some new HGs on display
>>22617960>Is Bandai the only Plamo company capable of doing this?yes, their techniques are secret and proprietary. there are a few reporters who did tours of the factories and they were always made to turn off their cameras and not show any footage of the hi-tech bandai multishot molds
>>22618170>going piece-by-piece instead of color-by-colorwtf
>>22618191Is that an MG L Gaim top left or what is going on there?

>>22618191all those l gaim kits are p bandai aren’t theyfuck
>>22618205What about the MGEX?
>>22618208Best Mecha Collection 1/144 Gundam (Revive) The goal was to create an anime accurate gunpla using modern tech
>>22618189hey seed actually made a good design for oncebetter make this one limited and the pig ugly black knight shiva regular release
>>22618204finally, a gunpla made exclusively for /gpg/chads
>>22618211Oh, cool.
>>22618214Lol the Japanese guy on Twitter who spent hours sculpting a custom one is probably gonna seethe over this

>>22618204>actual color separationOkay. You got me.
>rg rx78 weapons setis this the first gundam hammer we've gotten in plastic??
>>22618189>main villain suit is P-Bandai while the side antagonists are retailBandai really just decides this shit randomly don't they?
>>22618204>>22618232snapchads.... we WON
>>22618234they've been doing that since the first release of the HG RX-78, but bandai felt a little jewish since 35th Revive and removed the hammer and javelin to be sold as DLC later. (Entry Grade still has them)
>>22618234EG full weapon version comes with the hammer and the beam javelin
Mass production chads
>>22618234There was a Gundam hammer in an expansion set for the MG 3.0 as well.
>>22618234Mg Turn a comes with this doesn't it?
>>22618244>>22618234the 30th version will always remain the most superior iteration of the RX-78 because the hammer there uses actual chains, not the cheap molded shit on the later DLC packs
>>22618249I guess Shiranui will be P-Bandai?
More Yu-Gi-Oh kits
>>22618246MP Gyan Strom still has the beam axe... This isn't good.
>>22618225>No need to hunt for the old ass HGFucking nice
Vandread Dita fucking when
FUCKING JUST GIVE US TURN A KITS YOU NIPPY CUNTS
>>22618226that looks more like a Hi-zack
>>22618200>>22618206It's so funny, Bandaibabies really thought they would outdo Kotobukiya. This is why Bandai can't do anything competently besides simple plastic cartoon kits.
>>22618226The Barzam seems to be a regular release.https://bandai-hobby.net/site/shs24/
I'm surprised they have not announced the Foundation GINN/DINN, even as P-Bandai, there's a lot of variants there.
>>22618254Hope there won't be any stickers on this
MGSD Wing Zero Custom
>>22618263Guess the 30mm are for people who want their kits small and cheap with adequate amount of details
>>22618230thats sick, sorta want to watch the movie now, but i probably wont
>>22618189Site doesn't say it's PB. Hilda's Gyan is, though.https://bandai-hobby.net/site/shs24/
>>22618254Five Star Kinos
>>22618263we both know the bandai kit will sell 10x more than koto grenades
Stop with the announcements already there's like 10 things I want and they're not even up for pre-order yet
another show and still no fem boy..... maybe another time
>>22618269LET'S FUCKING GOOOOObeen waiting for them to make an MGSD of something good
>>22618265There isn't even a remade DINN. We are stuck with the crappy 1/144 First Grade. We need lots of remade kits for SEED in the first place, though the grunts are fine.
Actually having fun with this EG Gundam, its gonna be my first airbrushed kit. Should finish building and cleaning tonight
>>22618280>no char shower sceneFUCK
>>22618264Welp, I missed the huge ass watermark. RIP, the Barzam looked cool.
>>22618281>This hyped over the 50th iteration of the wing shitterI mean, I guess good for you.
>>22618278McDonalds logic
>>22618287All Hi-Zacks and Barzams are ever gonna be P-Bandai at this rate. Bandai hates generalists like that.
>>22618269Why does this line even exist?
>>22618296midget representation
HG VF-22SNever thought I'd see the day
>>22618296To waste money, same as the metaverse.
>>22618291I don't have any of those 50 though and it looks good in MGSD proportions
>>22618299Why not? It's just a simple retool of the YF-21.
>>22618200>mfw kotobukiya said "oh yeah we're going to just reprint everything before we have our VI Kits" and there are still 1-2 kits in the 4th gen lineup, 2 for gen v, and all but two kits for gen 1-3 left, but VI is here now.It's so overalso it's beautiful
>>22618196R3 L-Gaim MK II.
>>22618299>P-Bandai
>>22618230The transformation isn't half bad
>>22618304white glint got reprinted and i got my vob off yahoo auctions so i do not really care for any of the other old stuff. now give me steel haze ortus and the rest of the parts I need to make my custom AC
>>22618234this definitely is the first hyper hammer we've gotten in a kit. standard sundam hammer? been done before.
>>22618212Wonder if it will have any WoL effects.
>>22618320Sold separately, of course, yeah. Just like all the others.
>>22618254looks good but zeus when
>>22618269i'll only forgive MGSD for existing once they announce MGSD Unicorn and Banshee.
>>22618264>this page marks which ones are pbandaiso the gold black knight and the seedzgok are retail? thank god
>>22618327>two more unicornsWhat the fuck is wrong with you people. Even pokefags aren't like this.
>>22618249This probably means that the next rg 2.0 will be from seed, most likely strike.
>>22618296>Why does this line even exist?for grown salarymen who are nostalgic about building SD kits for 500 yen as kids
>>22618269This fucker has so many goddamn kits it's not even funny
>>22618333doubtful.RX-78 is able to get more redesigns because the animation leaves the design in general pretty open ended. RG strike 2.0 would have to be a major departure from the current kit in terms of visual design to justify it existing. I doubt that'll happen.
>>22618332fucked up that he didn't include phenex, the best one. gotta make mgsds of all three
So... When would we see the second run of the Huckebein Boxer? Asking for a fren.
>>22618249>RG Akatsukii'm not looking forward at the price of this kit considering the plated parts that comes with it.
>>22618333Get in line. It is going to be Char's Zaku II and then everyone else. I wish after the Zaku II they would do Zeta Gundam just for engineering flex.
>>226183468800 yen
>>22618347>they would do Zeta Gundam just for engineering flex.EG Zeta
>>22618320>>22618323Nope it comes with the kit.
>>22618249Why does it look like it is using the RG Strike frame?
>>22618339didn't stop Bandai from making an updated RM version of the Strike MG. pretty certain the existence of RG akatsuki means the other GAT frames like Duel, Blitz, and Buster are potential future releases.
>>22618269Will we ever get an ACTUAL interesting design from this line?
>>22618334Ironically the main demographic is China where SD is way more popular
>>22618354is this kinobukiya?
>>22618350>spoilerHonestly, that would be fun
>>22618269Where is my MGSD Zeta Gundam?
>>2261835930 MM.
>blocks your'e pathhttps://twitter.com/hobbylink/status/1788023275454656785
>>22618359Not with those shitty Bandai hands
>>22618365>please God kill me
>>22618365What emotion is this trying to convey
>>22618358Which probably explains why it got bootlegged so quickly.
>>22618363Ver Ka flopping spooked bandai from releasing more Zeta gundams. blame the people for not consooming enough if Zeta releases becomes scarce in the future.
>>22618374>>22618358The first third party chinkpla were SD's
>>22618354>>22618263The difference in quality is like night and day
>>22618374>>22618379>Popular with the chineseThat should tell you everything you need to know.
>>22618374>>22618379>>22618383Also the Chinese market is the main reason why Bandai still keeps churning out Wataru shit
>>22618249
>>22618387...which Chinks also love and have made multiple knockoff designs of
More gunpla new next week
>>22618390The weirdest knockoffs being chink Wataru kits using Barbatos's frame
>>22617140>colors
>>22618396This looks okay. I have definitely seen worse.
>>22618230Please tell me this one's not P-Bandai.
>>22618372>You don't know what type of shit that I went through
>>22618196Could be Hi Metal L Gaim as Hi Metals and Robot Damashiis are also on display.That one is the R3 L Gaim mk2>>22618189Calrea isn't pbandai, it is a retail release in October along with Murasame Kai. Destiny in November.
>>22618387Are they the one who keep buying Moderoid Granzort kits too? Because GSC also keep making them.
>>22618397should have made it in poop-colored plastic so it can be easily painted, and release a special plated one for snapCHADs. that gold pleases no one.
>>22618393Hopes and fears?
>>22618399The only pbandai is Gyan Strom Hilda's unit and that TR-6 Barzam II
>>22618399surprisingly, it's not. only the RG RX-78 DLC and AOZ Barzam were the p-bandai announcements so far.
post sneedchad kinos
>>22618387>>22618396
>>22618390reminds me of picrel
>>22618249>RG akatsuki>RG 2.0/Extreme Rx-78-2Leak bros is... it time?
So this leak was real and if not what a call
>>22618352RG 2.0 Strike and RG Strike Noir.
>>22618406>no MGs (kek)>every announcement are p-bandaionly expectations worth considering.
>>22618242So basically it's an EG
>>22618225Looks way better than the lineart (or CG render?).I don't know what the fuck happened with the shoulders here.
>>22618406Only fears: It's literally everything announced today, saying "fuck you" to everyone.
>>22618217>>22618230Fuck yes, I've been waiting for these.
gsc making me poor
would you a boat?
>>22618406Hope: more HG votomsFears: no HG votoms
>>22618440I think I have this. Came with the same little fighters.
This is the best design in seed
>>22618427CG model shoulders are proportioned like that for the transformation I assume.The kit is probably a heavy partsformer
>>22618443they announced another three ¥2200 Votoms add on sets (P-Bandai)
Pretty cool
>>22617529This has better parts separation than the MG
>>22618462the MG is six thousand years old
>>22618417what we're the other leaks again
>>22618417PGU won't happen for anything that doesn't have a PG already lmao

>>22618501I don't!give me a "revival" zaku like the new old rx-78
>>22618500What would the gimmick of an MGEX Red Frame even be?
uhh coomer bros........
>>22618508not existing
>>22618365They really need to find a new letter in the alphabet to signify their new zaku variants with. There are now at least three of them with an F.
>>22618513SEXOOOO
>>22618189flipbros...
>>22618516i like this
Bandai just announced Armored Core miniplaThey'll probably be cheap and tiny for collectors who lllike to focus on customization/kitbashing
>>22618516did the snoot fall off or something why is that thing sticking out
Fuck the Barzam II give me the fucking Barzam Custom
>>22618526it will most likely be the same as the gundam frame and eva frame toys
>>22618217god fucking damn, awhile ago I asked if a Barzam II was ever gonna happen, guess I won't have to wait THAT long
>>22618526>SMPYeah it'll be like $40 each and pbandai
>>22618141FUARK YES
>>22618532SMP are actually model kits I have a bunch of the VOTOMs ones but like >>22618537 said they're tiny and expensive

>>22618508Mars Jacket
>>22618483i told myself I wouldn't buy any coompla...
>>22618399I'm assuming the Wings of Light and glowing frame Destiny would be P-Bandai, alongside 2 clear Destinies for that afterimage attack
>>22618526smp is anything but cheap lmao, especially for the size and engineering
>>22618563do NOT the cat
Next SRW HGAnyone recognize the silhouette?
i wish for a MGEX SRX, even if they have to use screws and metal fittings. I would die happy and wouldn't ask for anything moreor atleast MG Hyukebeine ver Ka.

>>22617204hey anon this strike E IWSP looks very cool, but could you post pics of that Sukhoi in the background? It also looks very cool!
>>22618263>implying I am not buying botho Koto and 30MMI will collect 30MM kits to make my own dogs I made in the game, while Koto kits will be for the official mechs.
>>22617936He shouldn't be praising those dogshit hands.
>>22618489Is it just me or are the Koto proportions kinda fucked??The head is way too small.
>>22618448Holy fuck this looks so goddamn good. The Murasame was always handsome as hell, but I didn't think a seed Grunt kit would top the Windam. God damn we are eating good. The Murasame Kai, especially in HG form, looks fucking incredible. I wish the wings were still forward swept, but the waverider mode looks like one of my favorites in all of Gundam. This thing looks like it can do some serious dogfighting, and that detail. My beloved Murasame Kai....
>>22618204literally the only good announcement
>>22618516>HG>More greebled than the average RGI don't get it.
>>22618513>>22618254Any ideas on the release date and price?

>>22618516why the hell is it called F type when it's evidently ground use?
Best Mecha Collection Gundam:>ancient proportions>modern engineering>specifically pointing out how you don't need to paint nor glue it>called Revivalso this kit is purpose built to destroy every narrative perpetrated by /gpg/, cool
>>22619566It's basically a shitpost come to life, anime accurate snapkino revive.
>>22619573and it's amazing
