>>2975138What is this gay shit? You're making dolls? Build a deck or something. Jesus christ
I'll make a deck garage kit just for you
>>2975142Yes
r u guys working on any kits right now? I have Remilia here on sticks for airbrushing later today.
>>2975146I bought this recast cheap a while ago for my first GK, hoping to actually start her finallyHow bad is airbrushing/sanding at your desk? I have the hood and the ventilator and going to wet sand.
>>2975146still working on the sakura kit, trying to resculpt her face in nomad sculpt, it's going to take a while to learn everything.
>>2975149What's wrong with her face? The rest of the kit looks cool.
>>2975148We sanding should be fine. You can always get something like a Dspiae Glutton to suck up dust. I usually sand in my waterfall spraybooth. I wouldn't airbrush on my desk just because of the mess, but if you set out some newspaper and have good ventilation it shouldn't be a problem.
>>2975150was trying to take out a scratch in the face, and sanded off her nose.
>>2975152I feel like it'd be possible to fix that with Tamiya epoxy putty and some sanding. It seems pretty salvageable.
>>2975146I'm still in the newbie gathering materials phase. I have the kits but I'm still figuring out what type of airbrush. There's a lot to gather even if you already have the kit.Is a pinning always necessary or is gluing them together fine if you already know they've been fit tested
>>2975154You can glue them. But pinning is nice as you can take things a part if you want to repaint something or store a kit. Also the hole you drilled for pinning lets you attach your parts to paint sticks more easily. Not ever piece has a peg that you can securely alligator clip.
>>2975153I usually never touch the face, but I want to learn to sculpt anyways, so it's two birds with one stone. >>2975154I usually pin the heavy parts, especially if the hair is heavy. I don't trust glue. for lighter parts like arms, I like to use magnets.

Are you guys planning to get anything at Wonfes? Getting the kit proxied or scalped counts too.
>>2975186the two kits from yokki- picrel and 'the muse', and the tetsuwan atom one. I hope they can get just one. I'm even willing to get a recast or bootleg
>>2975189Who are you using?
>>2975190I sent the information over to e2046 with the booth name and number, but beyond that I just simply asked a nip friend if they could nab something. They're going for themselves so I'll be secondary. I considered going with someone but especially for atom the circle didn't even post prices until yesterday.
Gk sculptors are something elsehttps://x.com/shellie_liu/status/2020104222780604917?t=Nh1KbelFY50HQPd2eozp8A&s=19Has the painting process as well
So how was the scalper situation at Wonfest this year?
HUGE QUESTIONim retarded and left paint dry in my airbrush, how do i clean it out as best as possible?
>>2975241how do they differentiate between a scalper and a recastbro?
I really shouldn't have started off with a GK that has so many complex parts. I've been sanding and fixing the molds on the hem of the dress, sleeves, and hair strands for a while now. Starting simpler would have been nice...>t. asanagi elin dahlia
>>2975257with lacquer thinner, just let it sit in the cup, and then dump out the dissolved paint. After every session, I make it a habit to take out the needle and cap, put 2 ml of lacquer thinner in the cup and pipette it in and out . this way I only have to clean the airbrush thoroughly every 4-5 months.
>>2975154get a PS-289 Mr. Hobby airbrush. I'm using a PS-267, which is essentially the same as a 289 minus the mac valve. The needle and cap can be interchangeable between 0.2mm and 0.3mm. Plus I have a second airbrush for applying paint to large sections, a cheap paasche single action Normally people go for a 0.5mm airbrush for that.
>>2975241
>>2975275Meanwhile I got a fancy ass Iwata and never use it...
>>2975275I love this thing. I use a 771 for fine lines and a 290A for big surfaces too, but honestly you could do everything with just the 289. The mac valve is nice for doing fine lines too. Definitely better than the Badger Patriot I upgraded from while not being too expensive.
>>2975258I think they don't, but they go after people who apply for a table and a dealer pass and start buying kits before the general public is let in. Nips at the event claim that security was carrying around a bunch of confiscated dealer passes.
are these the dolls they cum on
>>2975379fuck off>>2975275thanks anon and also >>2975295 i'll go for this. do either one of you have experience with this shop?https://spraygunner.com/products/gsi-creos-mr-airbrush-procon-boy-ps-289-0-3mm-platinum?variant=45118341087394I don't trust amazon and i check today with my local hobby shop. they don't carry and either don't want to or can't carry this.
>>2975490Spraygunner is good, but they've hiked up prices for some things recently. I like getting replacement parts from Japan from storeslike mrhobby.theshop.jp/ , good to include with my forwarder orders of GKs.
>>2975138I am utterly disgusted that the Scale Model General over on >>>/toy/ doesn't get a mentionMay your edges be forever unhilighted!
You can finally buy cheap reverse painting clips
>>2975145Fucking impressive.Is he just using clay?>>2975142Check out the prices, anon....
I caved in and bought a Nero Booth on my recent Japan trip then hauled it back halfway across the world. My baggage handler gave me a smirk when I was checking it in at Haneda, either because he recognized what it was and/or was laughing at the check-in staff politely questioning me on whether or not the box contained explosives or batteries.
>>2975651wow, I'd rather fill my baggage with figures because unless it's those waterfall booth, I'd rather build it myself
They're is nothing worse then waiting for each paycheck to buy a small amount of gk stuff but you still can't paint your gks yet. I should probably also stop buying prepainted.>>2975651Holy shit I kneel. Did it arrive alright?
>>2975651I'm surprised that they let you take it on the plane, but I guess check in bag fees aren't that bad compared to shipping. Given the absolute state of the spraybooths available in the US and Europe you made the right decision. It's fucked up that Japanese and Chinese models are so good while all we have are the overpriced paasche booths and the crappy PC fan ones on Amazon.
>>2975145I can see is some kind of soft material so what they do to make it hard like a rock? Bake it? Spray it with Spray adhesive?
>>2975681There are 2 more boxes below the booth that had figures in them, though mostly manga/doujins. I usually preorder stuff so it's fairly rare that I need to buy figures while in Japan.>>2975758Yeah, zero damage.>>2975758My baggage allowance was up to 3 oversized pieces of luggage (70lbs). But yeah, the booths we have available in the west really aren't great.>>2975260Good luck anon. Always glad to see fellow TERA fans still around, though you definitely chose the wrong kit to learn with.
