>>23815644Any chance we get a RG Gundam Xi at some point?
>>23815665Not any time soon
>>23815665We’re getting the Master gundam first.
>>23815665Suits that have a modern HG really don't need an RG.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWaXXehbUXYNever thought I'd see someone attempt a painted Tristain.
>>23815683>another bandai HGsloppaI thought you were referring to SNAA's Tristan kino...
>chinkshit
>changslop
>he doubts the MANDATE OF HEAVEN
Bandai LOST so HARD they cried to the government to get the superior products banned
>>23815647more panhead progress. got a decent chunk of the diorama base done and weathered the panhead itself a bit. think I borked the scaling a bit tho
>>23815730Cope harder changshill
I fucking have 6 kits that are work in progress. I've become so lazy. fuck.
maybe Bandai should actually try instead of making kits for the same mobile suits again and again
>>23815746that's the train of thought that led us to Shitpla btw
>>23815746Bandai makes kits for what their Japanese fans want. And Japan absolutely loves original Gundam so, from Bandai perspective, it makes a lot of sense to produce nth variant of Zaku from some obscure locally available only manga, than some model from newest series that Japanese care less about (because it's not muh Papa Gundam). Autism is Japanese national trait and that translate, among other things, into sometimes irrational clinging to same things and schematics. >but what about the West?West does not exist. We do not exist. To Mr Takeshi The Boomer CEO there is only local market and some guys outside that can receive some leftovers. Sounds absurd in modern globalised world but they are still stuck in the past.
voted girlpla
>>23815746As if the Changs haven't been making like 8 Barbatos kits for the past year.
Blokees Awakened TV Eva 01
>>23815746Crazy that this is to defend chinks making bootlegs of shit bandai already made
>Gunpla bootlegYou have eyes but can't see Mount Tai
>>23815647>their kits aren't honorably produced
>>23815639>>23815624>>23815610Nice to hear. Have some already finished 3D print of Joan D'Arc.
>>23815665Right after we get the RG Master, which will drop in May. Im willing it into existence
>more Gslop*yawn* might as well make more non-Gundam RGs at this point. Hell, make RG Daizyujin.
>>23815769Jannu Love!Also, post the casca once you're done with the eyes.
>>23815773I just finished watching Legaciam and now I want a kit of this beefcake bot with a mantis head.
>>23815776Let's hope Mecha Smile Impact this Summer is less of a disappointment than the Winter one.
>>23815773RG Ingram is coming soon. And next year we're getting RG GaoFighGar
>>23815789yikes. Give me RG from better series like Getter Robo.
Snapshitting Hazel Icarus atm. The first impression is abit disappointing. The folding rifle lacks the folding mechanic and you have to remove the parts to transform it. Compares to the 3rd party rifle, the Chinese executed the idea much better.
>>23815803You have Infinitism line for Getter covered in greeble vomit
group build idea
>>23815803Why would you ever want that?
>>23815746Exactly. Bandai should give us Guntank kit with moveable track
>>23815812better fate than SMP
>>23815814The master grade has that and a cool machine gun gimmick
>>23815808Took me a moment to realize those are nails
>>23815746GQuuuuux line had a lot of new structural anatomy.
>>23815825Looks like a carryover from Kyokai Senki line
>>23815732That diorama looks pretty sick. Great job!
When will bandai finally get it's shit together and release the remaining parts for this guy? It's been years since it was shown. I wouldn't even care if they are piss-bandai. Hopefully the appearance of Zagan is a sign of that changing.
>>23815822You mean they aren't funnels?!???
>>23815828In what way?
>Polycap pegs for the kneesI'm so done with this.
>dlroskeletonwhat's with the typo ass name
>>23815825I think I was infested with a parasite overnight, because all of a sudden I want nearly the entire line of Gcucks kits.
At last the gang is all here. It's a shame the manufacturer died before making a stag beetle kit.
>>23815842It stands for DoubLe ROsan Skeleton
>>23815860and liber are too good to have skeletons huh??
>>23815860>DoubLe ROsan>DoL(o)RoSa Skeletonfuck
>>23815864They'll get wraiths
>>23815645>>23815647>>23813892Alright, new thread!mascot anon here, now opening request for the entries of the Ace Group Build!Now with the Ace custom being made, Inspired by a discussion I happen to came across, I have a special option for this occasion.Participant may request one of the either:A. a mascot with suggested theme, usually a creaturesorB. Bust portrait of their Ace Custom's pilot(Reference appreciated)Currently expecting to be able to provide:Up to 3 slots full color final product(no background, one slot preserved for Burst Hail, will be given to next in line if request isn't made)The remaining two slot will be given a sketch of their requestPlease post picture of entries not used by groupbuild dude(WIP and older photo is okay) to verify your participation.This post will be repost until the slot are either full, or one more thread after the final theme is confirmed.
>>23815732Damn that's cool. Reminds me of Armored Core
>>23815841>Polycap peg knees
>>23815841I fail to see the problem?
>>23815880They are going to sell SO MANY of these.
>>23815841HG Hazels are nice and sturdy albeit and remain so for a long time.
Shitpost and serious answers: Recommended brand and model of airbrush to get.>>23815880SKELETON GET YE GONE!
>>23815899I used a master airbrush g233 for about a year and I got some pretty good results.
>>23815889I already have 3 packs on order and contemplating a 4th
>>23815899The Mr Hobby PS-289 is good. The quality is about the same as Iwata's but for way less money. The PAC dial is nice as you can thin paint more and use it to do very fine lines.
>>23815899I've been using a Harder and Steenbeck for a few years and it's been solid and reliable.
>>23815884Replace your knees with rubber and let's see how well you handle it
>>23815884The pegs made of the soft plastic are pretty bad for this sort of joint. They get loose over time and it'll make it drop the leg.
>>23815884because there isn't one
>>23815884>>23815926Cope harder
I replaced the polycap pegs with some junk plastic parts with identical shapes. He feels like a strong boy now and stopped wobbling.
>>23815923>>23815884I'll add that polycaps are fine if they connect to a solid, horizontal peg. It's just these ones with the vertical peg that are the issue.
>>23815911Which model?>>23815903>>23815908Good choices
>>23815933Evolution Silverback if I remember right, I think they've replaced it with newer models now though.
>>23815932It is even worse than that. It is a polycap peg inserts to a polycap hole. Kek
>>23815938congratulations on finally building a model kit from 2004 bromy hazel can still stand up after 20 years so I guess it's not the end of the world but idk I don't play with them
Re-issue when?
>>23815647it came out ok
>>23815941Well fuck your 2004 HG, i have replaced them with plastic parts.
>>23815948I see that Plamor's is taking you over. Good, good. Soon you will fully replace flesh with plastic...
>>23815948maybe you can master a camera focus next
>>23815951Ouch!
>>23815951No
>>23815949>Soon you will fully replace flesh with plastic...Anon, plastic is already in your vein. Microscopic, tiny pieces...
what are some HGs with missiles that aren't heavyarms?
>>23815968at first I thought micro plastics were harmful. but I understand it now. microplastic is here to help me. make me feel good...
>>23815947what's this kit again
>>23815976madox 01 from metal skin panic but I used kei's head from the dirty pair lovely angel kit. better pic
>>23815947Close enough. Welcome back, War4ged
>>23815974GM Spartan has those two dinky little wire-guided missile pods that look very much like beam saber handlesthe Turn A has torso missilesJegan and Jesta have shield missilesone of the Gundam 0 has missiles i think
>>23815947>>23815981you should buy some polishing compound and a microfiber cloth to smooth out some of that texture. looks great otherwise
>>23815968It just the beginning. Soon, your inner frame will be made out of KPSJoints will be polycaps for the first generation as unfortunate it might beMuscles will be some combination of shell parts and putty; and I can picture some of of the must adepts that would modify the process with more putty and pla pateOnly those blessed and touched by Plamor itself will finally be able to paint
>>23815781>disappointmentthey didn't HAVE to give you anything
>>23815947Looks great
>>23815982>War4ged?>>23815984thank you :) it's funny because I actually ordered a microfiber cloth from amazon, still waiting on it
>>23815992>War4ged/gpg/'s 2nd best builder. He's really good but always leaves a tiny bit of bumpy texture
>>23815989thank you :)>>23815996oh lol
>>23815996whos the number one builder?
>>23815974Origin GMs, GM III, Gallus J, Zssa
Reminder no matter what your skill level is at like right now, you can go from whining about every mistake you make as a newcomer to coming in second place in a groupbuild like PolandAnon did.
>>23816009>2018EIGHTYEARS
>>23816009polandanon went from being one of the most annoying people in this thread to one of the best and it truly amazes me
What would be a cool colour scheme for the Tallgeese I don't wanna do white
>>23816020German gray
>>23816020Black and yellow
>>23816020XF-23 mixed with XF-25
>Super Robot group build loses again
>>23815845i just want the fed stuffreally needed more fed stuff
>>23816036dont worry bro, i'll build a stolen/silly/girly super robot just for you
>>23816036What exactly is the core of that theme?
>>23815762Nothing wrong about Chinks making bootlegs of bandai kits especially not P-Bandai ones. When did you all start being genuine slaves to a company that doesn't give a fuck about you?
>>23816023Too German>>23816027I like this>>23816030>tamiyaI started as a fa/tg/uy I have a shit ton of Citadel. This looks like colours Ive done for Space Wolves and is a scheme I like.'Blue/Grey' like this or lighter?
>>23816042to start pedantic arguments about what does and doesn't count
>>23815983The GMIII has both shoulder missiles and hip ones.
>>23816042Make something a super robot like tryon 3. Something that takes inspiration from classic super robot anime.
>>23816048>I like thisGood, draw some E.Y.E. symbols on it too.
>>23816056no I'm gonna submit a recolored HG SRW kit and you're gonna deal with it
>>23816059But a lot of them are Real Robots
is it a robot war that is super or is it a war for super robots?
>>23815899See >>23815908If you have money get an iwata eclipse, if not get an PS289, it's great for the money.
Cool and exotic looking. Shame it is Pbandai.
>>23816067The former
>>23815985I know it is a joke, but i can see human mutate into something else to adapt with the effect caused by microplastic. Kinda like in Crime of the future, human started to eat plastic without getting poisoned and find it to be delicious even.
>>23815808>>23815833Individually decorated funnels would be interesting for a build.
>>23815875Okay, I would like to request mascot for Akaitsuki then. Pilot portrait is tempting but I kinda imagined him as Hiroki Saito expy (if anyone recognize who I had in mind, you win so many internets) so lets stick to mascot then. As for theme - "blood moon" and historical samurai clan vibes suggest something similar so maybe moon and kitsune (fox) in Miko outfit? But if you have better suggestion, Im all open.>Please post picture of entries not used by groupbuild dude(WIP and older photo is okay) to verify your participation.I guess this one was not used by GBD.
>>23816048yeah that's what I was thinking something like that would look pretty cool
FLAT.In all seriousness, Tasha upgrade is quite nice, not as needed as Rishetta one but still welcomed. Those round elements at ankles could be removed, however.>>23816017>>23816016>>23816009I feel honoured.>8 yearsI guess 8 years is enough to git gud but not enough to find gf.
>>23816098You could probably find a nice femboy gf in the Philippines. They have a P-Bandai store now too
>>23815974Murasame Kai has em on the wings
>>23815974Doven Wolf and ZSSA
>>23816084Fun fact, seems like there is a chance scientist messed up there measurement method and they were detecting fat more often than microplastics
>>23816181Scientist are mostly frauds. The correct ones got yanked because they discovered the cure to cancer, blindness, etc...
any tips for sanding/denubbing on curved surfaces? I've been having a lot of trouble with things like gun barrels, tanks, shoulders, any kind of curved surface where it meets inthe middle. At first I was using glass files and then got some sandpaper but even wiht the sandpaper i get these slight indentations. I feel like denubbing should not be this hard but really having trouble with clean surfaces
>>23816189Extra thin cement removes the whiteness of the nubmarks.
>>23816187>the highschool dropout be like
How big are these 1/72 AMAIM weapons in comparison to 1/144 gunpla? Do they use 3mm?
>>23816191so just moving forward slice down as much as possible and then use extra thin cement to glue parts together or just a small coat to dissolve the whiteness
>>23816208Forgot pic
>>23816209Just paste some to make the nubmark less white and then sand.
>>23816210They use 3mm hardpoint and peg, but the size is around Zeta - Hathaway era, more suitable to stuff like Geara Doga, Messer, Gustav Karl, etc.
After buying and building the Master Grade O I gotta say, I kinda love it. The O was already one of my favorite suits but I love it even more now.Please ignore the sticker mishap on the skirt I am retarded.
>>23816210they will fit most HGs but they're a bit on the bigger side for that scale, same goes for the actual model kits
>>23816222Abit big for OYW and 90s miniaturized robots, but middle aged UC would be a good fit. Alot of these would look so good on Geara Doga.
>>23816220the most egregious issue is the nubs on the waist hose
>>23816239they can be sanded.which anon should have done.
>>23815875I'm requesting a pilot bust if it's okI pictured her looking like current era's yeule, similar hair, sharp eyes, bit ghastly and psycho, but wearing a silver pilot bodysuithttps://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/hear65/articles/images/000/009/745/original/yeule.jpg?1741062477
>>23816246how was the weathering done on this?
Are recolors the only reprint that SMP kits are going to get?
>>23816229they also would look good with 30mm, as 30mm guns all look retarded
>>23816181>that ONE article that headlined last weekYou know youre the retard for falling for a shitty headline, right?
>>23816250some of them look decentsome
>>23816239>>23816243I am aware, I'm waiting on tools to arrive to fix it
>>23815833>>23816088Reverse Joshi Kouhei manga build theme, you have to bling your gunpla like a gyaru is the one piloting them.
>>23816248pure black base coat then dry brush in circular motions, voluntarily doing a lighter covering on some random areasit's the first time I did this honestly i was aiming for a less grimy look but it works
>>23816251It might be true. I rather just give the scientist the benefit of the doubt that they messed up their detection systems.If everything is good on their end, then that just means that Plamor will manifest in this land and we will finally become part of the one plastic hoop with the plastic cement. Soon the flesh will give way to the plastic....
>>23816258>gyaru>just pictured a Zeon galI shouldn't have these types of thoughts.. BUT
>>23815845Whole retail line on clearance now, ultra cheap.
>>23816262>every possible scientest testing for microplastics were actually retards because they all used a testing wandThe ignorance you'd need to have that every country's scientists testing this fucked up in the same way is astonishing.Retards like you are why were here in the first place.Now snip your fuckings runners and sniff up those plastic chunks
>>23815829thank you, terrain like this is out of my wheelhouse so I'm learning a lot but also very happy with how it's coming together>>23815877ty!>Reminds me of Armored Coreyeah I felt the same while putting it together. big weapons mounted over the shoulder like this is a very distinct armored core design feature. plus Titanomachia and armored core have pretty similar philosophies around modularity
current statusi needed to reinforce the pegs because the bases were narrower for some reasonso i purposely globbed on the superglue so i could paint it silver and make it look like a messy weldso the rocket pods are now repurposed surplusi also drilled a 3mm hole into the pistol from the red beret's combogun so i could add it as a side weapon onto the left-hand rocket podnot detail shot, but i won't take any until it's done
>>23816286wow that's way blurry the fuckonly other picture i took
>>23816220this looks like the perfect candidate for a makoto kobayashi style kit bash. I might have to get one and add some miscellaneous maschinen krieger and tank bits to it.
>>23816304you need to put the MG's skirt and shoulders on a 1/144 scale kit for the correct proportions
>>23816246NTA, sketched your pilot to see how it turns out.
>>23816312erotic
>>23816312Damn that's a lot scarier than i envisioned but way cool, saved
