why doesn’t the rg crossbone have two tone white colors like the tallgeese? it would help make it look a little less samey
>>22592293Post your cock already, you whore
stop humoring the retard faggot
>>22592317but it'd be rude to ignore you like that
How bad is the RG Zaku II mass production comapred to the newer RG's?
>>22589176That's alright, also, your entry is really awesome, I love how you made it.>>22589861I am surprised myself too, I usually got request sooner. Also, good jobs on the coloring.>>22591116request accepted.One more request can be promised.
>>22592395Wrist engineering is bizarre. Waist assembly also felt weird. Other than that it's fine.
>>22592293I think your Nether Gundam has autism.
>>22592257Zaku III Anon back again. Got the hip and skirt assembly from an HGUC The-O, granting me sub-arms yay. Going to be learning how to use epoxy putty to thicken the waist of the Zaku III to match the new hip.
>>22592420huh, neat. Different style from the Sleeves type but also fitting well, especially with an all around bulky hip section
>>22592174All their announcements are gonna be at Shizuoka Hobby show 3 days later so maybe they'll tease something on Twitter idk
>>22592420Also my Zaku III compared to a normal Zaku III
>>22592447>normalbut that's clearly a Zaku III custom
>>22592452Har-dee-har
>>22592452All Zaku IIIs are normal Zaku IIIs
>>22592453Jokes aside The O waist fits great. The Qub shoulder still looks a bit awkward to me though.
>>22592088Wow really? I like that so much more.
>>22592447Sad there’s no zaku iii kit with the sub arms.
>>22592254Based OP
>>22592556Wish more suits had sub-arms in general.
>>22592556Just make your own? 3d printers are a thing
Two and a half days of no P Bandai. I'm beginning to smell maple syrup and I think I saw a flannel shirt in my laundry.
>>22592621You will know our pain.
>>22592609I hate that 3D printers have just replaced the concept of scratch building. And it feels like the people constantly shilling them have never touched a 3D printer
>>22592647they didn't and they don't
So when the fuck are we getting kits for one of the best mecha scenes ever made?
>>22592556Why do people like sub arms so much?
>>22592716Everyone wants extra arms
>>22592716they can be a cool addition when done in moderation
>>22592718I just want a prehensile penis like a tapir
>>22592716it makes sense
>>22591298What Rx78 kit is that?
>>22592750I think the tapirs Tigre claw dick head is cooler than its prehensileness
>tfw you finish the kit you’re working on and now have to find other ways to distract from wanting to die
>listed something on Facebook marketplace >somebody paid for it but I changed my mind and decided to keep itCan I just keep the money and the kit?
>>22592809are you retarded?
>>22592796It’s time to build a box fort
>>22592796Take the resin kit pill and don't wear a respirator
>>22592647Send me a zaku III kit and I'll make the damn subarms for you
>>22592796You could always be my cute twink bf, I'll give you a reason to enjoy life (with me, as my wife)
>>22592763The Volks 1/35 RX-78-2 Ver.Ka 15th anniversary kit, from 1995.
>>22592809ye
>takes me on average a month to snap together and hg>takes me about 6 months to paint it>have over 120 kits built up from a 10 year old backlog I might be able to finish them all before I die if I dont buy anymore (I will always buy more)
>consider the following
And I don't know why I found this one funny.
>>22592891Why does every girl pla kit have the same terrible proportions
>>22592894What's bad about the proportions?
Are Hobby Mio paints any good? I like the volume and that they come with pour caps like this.
>>22592897Just use gaia, finishers and born like a normal person instead of chink and seamonkey shit
>>22592893What’s the red one?
>>22592896giant head
>>22592609Are there any STLs for subarms? Are you expected to just CAD everything from scratch?
>>22592879You will die when your box fort collapses. Which is why you must consolidate it with more boxes.
>>2259290030MM Acerby A. Fun kit but waist is a bit unstable (polycap).>>22592894Because it's anime girl, they tend to have big heads you know. This one in particular is supposed to be "small" type.
>>22592903Or just get the powered arms powerderer and scratchbuild some details on them to make them look decent.
>>22592897if you have easy access to them then go ahead
>>22592647>heh i'll just 3dprint it-tards when they buy a 3d printer then realise they still have to learn digital sculpting to make any of their obscure bullshitidk about you guys but i find 3d modelling tedious as fuck, i'd rather do it with my hands even if the end result isn't as good
what does panel scratch mean
>>22592897if you have to use chinkshit just get jumpwind and some of those empty pour cap bottles on amazon. an 18ml jumpwind pot thins out to about 50ml anyway and has better pigmentation than sloppymio. jumpwind is the only decent chinkshit paint, but gaia still beats it
>>22592907I have a life, I don't wanna waste my time scratchbuilding
>>22592911>Company bought a 3D printer for prototyping purposes>Friend is in charge of it>If he's fiddling with designs no one bothers him because they assume he's making something for an engineerHe loves making stuff for me because it gets him out of doing real work, I'm living the dream.
>>22592891why are there no guy pla kitsi want char and kamina
Miniature theme didn't make it to second round, a pity - I would have extra motivation for painting these bad boys.>>22592926Because boys don't sell as much as cure girls. You can make collab with Idol M@ster and sell kits for higher price and they will sell like hot cakes. Do you think boys would sell as much? I think not.
>>22592950>not wanting a kamiyu and quattro pair to pose together>or char and amuro>or full frontal and sauper>or any of the wing pilots>or loran and harry>or any of the 00 pilotsthey could be printing money by making guypla for fujos and fudans
>>22593000what an incredibly faggy postwaste of digits on a AIDs homotranny post
>>22593010It really was the marriage of one's mouth as mouthturbation resembles eating pizza.
>>22593000giga based
>>22593000>Trowa with his stupid fucking clown outfitFuck it, I'd buy one.
>>22593000
Can you connect an airbrush to a nebulizer?
>>22593000You make a good point, with how much money seed made and how that series is going extremely strong, making a few male figures here and there would probably sell.Now just give me a Haman Karn model kit and the P-Bandai version that's her in her cute office attire and we're golden.
>>22593055we have a Puru Two kit coming so Haman is entirely reasonable
>>22593062I'm nervous to say we're getting it. Bandai has and can pull the rug out from under us. Just look at the proposed RG line before the z'gok, or the re/100 lineup that still haven't seen the light of day.
>>22593073I think the Puru and Psycho Mk-II had some kind of plaque saying "confirmed commercialization" or such near them but I am not 100% sure nor confident. Bolinoak is almost definitely happening since it had a colored model already.I imagine they're waiting with the annoucements for the Shizouka show since it's a Big Deal
>>22593062Bandai would first utilize the shared molds to make models of all the Purus before they'd move onto other characters
>>22593103well yeah obviously, but just in general the door for UC Figure Rise girlpla has been opened
>>22593103>PB Puru 12-pack (Marida parts not included)
when the FUCK is the puru preorder
>>22593112>Puru 12-packPlamo will never be the same...
>>22593120Sorry, P Bandai machine broke.
>>22593125isnt it retail
>>22593127Sorry again, only Seed and Build are retail. Everything else is P Bandai so that we can cut out the middleman and deliver a better product to consumers.
was` there any news from bandai regarding additional armors for g-line? it's the best UC suit i've built in a long time
>>22593154we'll definitely get them eventually, but they don't release that kind of stuff immediately one after another. Expect at least several months, possibly a year between them.
>>22593158As it was foretold
>>22593163Ah yes, the pipe full of animal semen pumping straight into the bloated gullet of white women while poor Mr. Hands wastes away as he tries to subsist on a few drops.
>>22592508yes, the suit can separate and transform into some kind of flying platform/ship mobile armor thingor bits of it can become the gundam's shield and shoulder cannonhere's dalong's pic of ithttp://dalong.net/reviews/bf/gbt07/gbt07_p.htm
>>22593172>Mr. HandsI prefer Tamiya branded hands
Vagans?
>>22593172>>22593201Mr.Hands mafia strikes again ..
LMAO this fucking dude asked me to pay for shipping after sending me a kit. I have it in my hands nigger. You offered free shipping on a big kit. Not my problem.
>>22593226r/thatHappened
>>22593228You'd know more about reddit than me
I'm still mad the Gundnode and Demi Garrison are PBandai.
>>22593234i'm mad at so many things being p-bandai over so many years it permanently increased my blood pressure
>>22593234How the fuck is the site STILL down? And where is my G-Line and F90A/L you fuckers?
>>22593226oh my goodness gracious
>>22593209How much paint do they need?
>>22593243I'm waiting on my three Juaggu still.
Fuck P-Bandai.
>>22593243My order was supposed to ship on the 2nd. It still hasn't and I only got the pureasu undasutando email on the 18th. I'm getting pissed.
>>22592926>why are there no guy pla kitskoto released one (picrel) at the end of last year. supposedly there will be more in the titanomachia linebandai also makes a shitload of NON-mecha ones, mostly kamen rider/dragonball/anime https://bandai-hobby.net/characterplastic/my local hobby store has a few on the shelves next to the HGs, the boxes are only in Japanese though afaict
>>22593264for any anons here who may not even like kamen rider much, i will say those those figurise riders are a pretty fun build if you find a rider who has a design you like. they post nicely too
>>22592926>>22593264and here's some of the bandai kits. they're mostly labeled Figure-Rise Standard and not HG/RG/MG so you might've missed them
>>22593264cute desu
>>22593272there's something about the face that's a little off to me, like the details are a bit too softened or something
>>22593277anime john stewart
>>22593264>>22593277They made a female version too.https://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/en/product/detail/p4934054014545/
>>22593287>female version has exposed belly and huge tits>male version has a crotch as flat as the female version and a covered up bellywe have been robbed of handsome abs and happy trail
>>22593264The Kamen Rider ones are cool. I hope that they make a Gotchard one as I prefer plamo over regular action figures.
>>22593287she's a big downgrade imoNAOKI also made a male and female mecha to go with them but for whatever reason those are Moderoid instead of Kotohttps://www.goodsmile.com/en/product/44419/MODEROID+SIDE+R+Vogel+ghttps://www.goodsmile.com/en/product/44418/MODEROID+SIDE+GR+Edelstein+II+Zwei
Where is it?
>>22593291>I hope that they make a Gotchard oneiirc after they announced ultimate kuuga, the website has both showa and reiwa say "coming soon..."i feel like it must be gotchard just because that's airing right now, but could be any of them except for revice honestly. maybe even saber is the safest bet since china fucking loves saber
1/100 Zanneck died so we could get another 5 dinosaur kits
>>22593303Should've been Gengaozo anyways
>>22593303FUCKING BANDAIIIII EVERY VICTORY KIT SUCKSSSS AND THERE AREN'T EVEN MANY THROW US A BONE
>>22593269New DB kit when? I liked the new spec Goku and Vegeta.
>>22593303Same thing happened with the psycommu zaku. Non-gundam mobile suits really are the most oppressed group. Even SEED kits don't escape that fate.
>>22593303Yeah don't take these pills seriously.Especially that one. I love the Zanneck but this really sounds like the Japanese memes it into winning
>>22593298E7?
>>22593293which one is supposed to be male? the bigger bulkier green one would make sense but the thinner and more nimble white one has a penis
>>22593303>>22593315This happened to the G-Self so it's not just isolated to non Gundam mobile suits. bandont are just cunts. They basically run these things to mock you.
>>22593317reminds me of a poll i saw about the 10 most emotional mecha moments from 2ch and the list was pretty legit except this was like, number 8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lcuy-0D0R8
>>22593320Bandai does no wrong though, they cucked all of Canada for years now, that's based as fuck
>>22593323keep posting like this John and your precious p-bandai will stay down forever
>>22593319The white "Grim Reaper class" is 10m tall while the green "Reaper class" is 6m.in 1/48 scale, so actually 175mm (around MG size) and 120mm (around HG size)they're designed to have the same core "jugfrau unit" as the center of the body though and the parts are cross-compatible
>>22593327*jungfrauanyways clearly the 10m one is female and sexually dominates the 6m one
>pbandai still down
>>22593332Green texting about it isn't going to bring it back.It isn't like the site had anything worth getting right now anyways.
>>22593303Not a big Zanneck fan tbdesu
>>22593332That's just a natural experience of a Japanese company. Especially bandai.
When you paint your inner frame metallic, do you pretty much have to top coat individual pieces over subassemblies? There are lots of visible parts of the frame that would be hard to mask to top coat the whole leg at a time.
Thank you for the responses! I'll eventually get these, although I'm not sure whether to get them one at a time or get three friends at once>>22590329Didn't know the GM was loose as well, and I was looking forward to the Gogg>>22590442I'm not sure I fully understand, it sounds like I'm supergluing some parts together when they should be movable joints>>22590556It definitely seems like a cute brick>>22590562I can improve the articulation? I don't know how to improve the 90-degrees of bend, I've never handled a knife for making kits>>22590595Not have I customized them, a friend showed me a hand-painted GM and encouraged me to at least try hand-painting some chrome
>>22593332insider here, canadian terrorists have infiltrated bandai's datacenters and has the staff hostage, they are currently demanding the return of p-bandai canada or else they will destroy the servers.
speaking of p-bandai, I just realized now that suruga-ya is forcing people to use DHL as the free shipping method, I'm gonna likely pay basically the same amount as I would have paid if I bought the same p-bandai kit from a local store, due to DHL forcing us to pay customs fees no matter what, which will be 20~30 leaf bux for a package worth 6000 yen. Fucking hell.
>>22593343Yes. If you're using airbrushed cleat coat(which you should because rattlecans are a scam) it's really not an issue. If there's going to be a seam after assembly then you can just modify it.
do wave kits need to be glued? this feels really not secure
>>22593358yes they are real models
>>22592926Bandai tried, but no one bought them.but yeah, recently there was a warehouse found in flipland that errounously stored these things, so retailers are currently getting some stock of MG Goku and MG Super Saiyan Goku and selling them cheap.
>>22593363Bandai was also shit at making people up until a couple years ago, so that probably played a part.
Virunveebros, when are we getting our kits? I got an email that said that even though it was supposed to be an April release, they weren’t gonna be able to ship it out and still don’t know when it will come.
>>22593375just check on p bandai

>>22593417fuck, I'm jelly. I want a work space like this and multiple aisles for my endless backlog
>>22593363this is trash compared to the newer frs kits
>>22593436Anon, this is a model store.Your backlog cannot take up that much

>>22593442Why would I want to see where he lives?To witness the shelves of yet unpainted spoons?

>>22593440my home office for gunpla and work is half full of model kit boxes and it looks like a cluttered mess and I'm still young. If there continues to be cool robot model kits being released in the foreseeable future and if I don't have time to build cause I'm a lazy fuck and work is getting hectic, I can honestly see my backlog being able to fill multiple shelves like that picture

>>22593447What the actual fuck
>>22593444Are there that many people here from Toronto
>>22593443he has an entire room (or two?) full of backlog, and his entire hallway is also lined with backog...yet all he does is paint spoons instead of building any of them
>>22593452Thank goodness I only have a small pile in a closet instead of creating a tomb to bury myself into like he plans to.
>>22593452He has several painted and completed models that dot the background of his videos, he just doesn't do real-time building on camera since his channel's about modeling equipment and paints.
>>22593455yeah the same 3 models he's had in the background for the past 5 years
>>22593449One's from Oakville.
>>22593481imagine being from fucking Oakville
>>22593447I'm gonna use his room as a goal for myself to achieve
>>22593415you should do silver over black instead of the other way around. that way it'll look like the chip is going through the final paint coat and primer (the black) down to the bare metal (the silver)
>was going to buy gunpla before realizing that I don't deserve gunplaI guess that at least gives me more time to read reviews for them
I've been looking to get a unicorn kit for the first time and the only one currently available in my country is the rg banshee norn, is it good?
>>22593500why not
>>22593500Post your neighbors address or something and I'll mail you a free EG RX-78 so you won't feel bad fucking it up
>>22593522Mental illness tells me I'm no good at anything and deserve nothing and should continue to do nothing about thisand it's not like I paint gunpla either, so it's worthless in my hands>>22593524I am not posting my Toronto address here and I already feel bad messing up the HG RX-78's antenna
https://twitter.com/gsc_mechasmile/status/1782251007822737581
>>22593521The RG unicorn kits are all pretty good. You get the choice of fixed V-fin or transformable. If you're painting I'd say pick either mode. If not then whatever. Really don't think there's any reason to ever buy an HG unicorn gundam considering the RG are pretty nice and you can pick either destroy/unicorn mode in one kit.
>>22593209Age 1 is ugly.
>>22593532Ok, thanks. The only reason I'd consider the high grade is that its cheaper, but I've heard the hg unicorn in particular sucks. After dealing with some hand grenade kits, my main priority in a kit right now is that it's solid once built and won't fall to pieces when trying to pose it, even if I have to pay more
>>22593541I think the ONLY parts that were a little annoying were the hip armor. It's like a ball and half socket.

Asking again in this thread, since I thought I should probably provide more details:I'm doing a full paint job on an early RG kit, where the inner frame isn't meant for display but is there to do all the structural movement. A few places like the elbows, armpits and knees will be exposed through movement, and I'm sure the same will apply to a good chunk of the rest of the leg frame given how the armor pieces separate there. Since it's an RG kit there's a bunch of sliding rails and shit that I'm sure will result in paint flaking out of the joints over time if I just wholesale spray the entire inner frame as if it were a single piece.Should I even bother trying to paint the inner frame at all, given all the moving parts involved? Or do I just surrender and only top coat the most prominent areas to get rid of the plastic look? For my intended paint job the inner frame is distinctly not gray so it'll be super obvious that it's not the right color, but I think I'm willing to settle for "good enough" since this will be only the second Gunpla that I'll have fully painted so far.
>>22593603not painting the inner frame is tantamount to being a snapshitter
>>22592403>Also, good jobs on the coloringThanks. It was a kinda lazy build, but sometimes making something a buncha shiny metallics is nice too.
>>22593604I tantamounted your mom last night
>>22593529there's a new vidya coming out for this "brand" this week

How do you guys get your paint out of your bottles? I've been using eyedroppers but I hate cleaning these things.

>>22593602EAT SHIT, PBANDAI HAVER
>>22593702why would anyone get excited for bandai's shitty model kit line of smaller than HG kits with even worse engineering and a bigger lack of detail?
>>22593704Because that line has things other than Gundam in it
>>22593709Gundam fags don't like mecha so they wouldn't understand

>>22593659>mfw
>>22593672I use glass eyedroppers with detachable rubber bulbs, and clean them out after use. Makes for less plastic waste, and I can be more efficient with paint use since I detach the bulb after transfer and drip thinner down the glass tube to wash the additional paint down. That also has the bonus of making cleaning easier since there's less residue to wash out afterward.
>>22593672I use telepathy to transfer the perfect amount of paint and thinner to my reservoir, minimizing waste
So what happened to Bandai’s second factory? Didn’t they say it’s gonna be up and running this year and that we are gonna get all the reprints we want?
was wanting to get a mg zz but is there no armor part upgrade?? saw that theres an enhanced version and sentinel color but no anime.
>>22593721Snapgod kino?
>>22593813weirdly, there isn't
>>22593811we don't know when exactly it's gonna start up this year, nor how long it will take before that affects the supply from consumer perspectivebut the effects are already clearly seen, what with announcing multiple retail HGUC kits after years of absolutely nothing
>>22593659I wish they'd at least reprint some old SMPs that are pretty much impposible to find nowadays like the toku Gridman kits or the King J-Der.
>>22593813If they're going by the "modern" version of the ZZ, then the Full Armor will be applied to the Enhanced ZZ and not to the Ver. Ka. Which is unfortunate since the MG Enhanced is P-Bandai only.If you can get your hands on a FAZZ you could paint it to look like a Full Armor ZZ, but from what I've seen other anons say it won't be able to armor purge back into a ZZ due to lack of parts.
>>22593813>>22593865FAZZ Ver Ka is only missing the circled pieces to make it into Enhanced ZZ and thus FA ZZ, all the other ones like original head are still there. Missing the 1/60 scale beam sabers too.Arguably you could do something to the waist high mega cannon so it doesn't look like the dummy version but it's not a must.
>>22593865>>22593869wrong. you do get those parts when you buy FAZZ, you just get them in different colors. the FAZZ ver Ka is missing 2 of this runners, which is the back pack of ZZ Gundam.
>>22593881you're giving me ideas. I've already got the zz verka on my shelf, so if I got a fazz, salvage the armor and repaint then I can have a full armor zz verka right?
>>22593672pour it down a stick
>>22593869>>22593881you're both right and wrong. The circled parts are not on FAZZ's runners, but FAZZ is also missing these backpack parts.
>>22593811december 31st
>>22593893Good luck trying to find one, FAZZ ver Ka hasn't been reprinted in years.
>>22593898This anon is mostly correct but also still a little wrong. That new rear skirt plate the FAZZ includes instead of the Enhanced ZZ runner piece is actually the piece you need to run Full Armour ZZ, it's designed for the torso armour cables to connect back to it. It also has a piece for the huge gun, but running that isn't really Full Armour ZZ despite what non-anime material has done with it since.It is a problem that you don't get the proper extended vents underneath the beam sabre mounts for the backpack though. The J1 and J2 blue parts on the EZZ runners are solely for extending the fangs of the abdomen/lower chest armour where the core fighter attaches, so if you're displaying it as FA form you won't even see those parts at all so missing them isn't a huge deal. Unless it's duplicated on a runner somewhere then, the only thing stopping FAZZ ver Ka + ZZ ver Ka from being a perfect FAEZZ appearance wise will be the vents beneath the beam sabres and nothing else.
>>22593984The highlighted difference and destroyer of autists (read: me)
>>22593907I can settle for a bootleg one.
>>22593898yes it does. FAZZ ver Ka gets all the parts from ZZ ver Ka, Enhanced ZZ, +FAZZ runners (the new arm, head, backpack) and the Full armor parts except for the 2 runners from ZZ to make ZZ backpack
>>22593659bandai is the disney of model kits. You will rebuy what you bought 20 years ago and you will be happy.
>>22594000who makes the best model kits? volks?
>>22594028(You). What makes a model kit the best is your own effort
>>22593899fun fact: King Squasher and Queen Cideron were supposed to get upgrades for the final bunch of episodes that would've combined into a single big bot before the show was cut short.They revisited that concept in DX with the prototypes.
>>22594031can't put in more effort if you can't afford spray cans or an airbrush and the kit doesn't have any seam lines to remove
>>22594047You could at least put more effort into cleaning up your nubs
>>22594048that anon would rather add a new scar on his thighs than to clean up nubs
>>22594048i don't have any messy nubs, i already put a lot of effort in to that
kek why are faggots always poor
>>22594055Adult diapers
>>22593417>>22593420>>22593422>>22593425Someone's living the dream.
>>22593422Am I retarded or is that top left section full of nothing but Kill Team sets??
>>22593984>>22593985>>22593999this is hurting my headso in the end FAZZ really does have all the parts for FA ZZ Gundam?Well, except the beam sabers anyway?
>>22594047Panel line it at least, slut
>>22594069no, it's still missing the backpack runners.
>>22594072but this anon >>22593999 says it has them, only missing parts for ZZ's regular backpack, not the Enhanced ZZ's backpack which would be used here
>>22594069You need the ZZ to make it 99% accurate. You need the EZZ to make it 100% accurate for these vents. >>22593985 FAZZ alone gives you a different backpack but still looks close enough if you paint the fucker blue and call it a day.
>>22594074Enhanced ZZ uses ZZ's backpack. FAZZ has a unique backpack. There are new slots from the EZZ (longer wings/covers/missile pods/beam sabres) that are shared with FAZZ, but not the basic backpack those things attach to.
So in order to make an accurate Full Armor ZZ you need to not only buy the Ver. Ka, but also a P-Bandai expansion set and a kit that hasn't been reprinted in years.
>>22594083apparently Daban (under the name AA Model) just straight up released the FA ZZ Gundam but I don't actually know if they fixed up these missing pieces or if it's just a recolor of FAZZ
>>22594083They make a standalone EZZ PB kit. It was reprinted last year. It's not that rare. FAZZ was like 2 years ago for the last reprint I want to say but I haven't been really following it. From the front, you really aren't going to see the differences from what you can build out of the FAZZ box if you build the normal ZZ head and beam cannon barrels. How much accurate than that you want to get is up to your own autism.
>>22593893technically yes and nothe FAZZ has new arm parts (skinnier arm and grooves) that allow armor parts to latch on to, the crotch armor is a little bit different so that the armor parts can latch on to it. TL;DR: you need to transplant parts from the FAZZ before you can use the full armor parts
>>22594086>daban tolerances >transforming mobile suiteither floppy mess or will need every joint sanded lmao
>>22594083no. the FAZZ has parts for ZZ Gundam, Enhanced ZZ Gundam, FAZZ runners (head, new backpack, crotch, arm) + Full armor parts. the only thing missing so you can make a ZZ Gundam FA is the 2 runners to make the ZZ backpack (Enhanced ZZ backpack is the same as ZZ backpack with bigger missile packs which the FAZZ also has)
>>22594098does FAZZ have parts for both missile packs?
>>22594100yes
>>22594102oh, neatso you need all of FAZZ and a few bits from ZZ.So why the fuck haven't Bandai made it yet, it's literally zero development cost and people would be all over a new retail MG especially when it's a proven high quality kit.
>>22594098>so you need to buy these to make it accurate>no, you just don't get all the parts to make it accurate unless you buy thosebro?
>>22594071i only have enamel panel liner and i can't use that without at least a top coat otherwise it'll disintegrate the plastic
>>22594098>>22594106you're still going to be missing the elongated vent from EZZ if you don't get the EZZ version, it isn't included in FAZZ.
>>22594098strictly speaking you also need the beam sabers from ZZ but if you need it for the backpack anyway that's no big dealIn this case I imagine the best combo of cheap and quality would be getting the legitimate FAZZ and a bootleg ZZ to use the needed parts and do whatever with the rest.Now, if only they actually reprinted the FAZZ...
>>22594106>why hasn't bandai ____ ?It's like that parody of vice where they take a dildo and throw it at a wall to determine what to write articles about. There is no rhyme or reason behind what bandai does or doesn't do. How about a nice game of chess instead?
>>22594113what teh fuck do you mean by elongated vent? you meant the vortex generators on the ZZ?it is there molded in different colors instead of chrome, but you dont need it because the vortex generators will get in the way of the armor parts.
>>22594113which vent parts?
>>22594106The craziest part is making Enhanced ZZ on its own instead of it. Enhanced ZZ doesn't even actually get animated at all. It is technically what the ZZ should be in the final battle but they just drew regular ZZ the whole time. Really bizarre. There's still no Full Armour ZZ HGUC either.>>22594119>>22594120>>22593985
>>22594119elongated vent under the beam saber mount as shown in >>22593985
alright now tell me how to make the FA-010B Full Armor ZZ Gundam which is ZZ Gundam with FAZZ's dummy armor instead and the big gun. For old school's sake, regular ZZ instead of Enhanced ZZ
>>22594125Full Armor ZZ is always "Enhanced ZZ" and to make that config requires the exact same thing. It's just using the gun from FAZZ. It plugs in instead of the missile. Nothing else to it.
/gpg/? More like /FAZZg/! Am I right or am I right, lads ahahaha
>>22594106but they already did make it?

FAZZ has different head than Full Armor ZZ tooSo if you want anime accurate Full Armor ZZ, build the Enhanced ZZ and fill the missing parts by stripping them off from FAZZOr you could just paint FAZZ in Full Armor ZZ color like this https://youtu.be/h4gow1E8xmM?si=Uv8oXYKYzPt0BpUa they are 98% identical anyway, you probably wouldn’t even notice the difference unless you are a super anime accuracy obsessed autist https://youtu.be/h4gow1E8xmM?si=Uv8oXYKYzPt0BpUa
>>22594162yes but FAZZ includes the regular head and all the other stuff sans backpack in junk parts
>>22594161Oh, only the Japanese bought it.
>>22594141forgot to warn my fellow leafs that if you even use HLJ's "quick pack" shipping method which uses yamato international shipping, they will use UPS to delivery packages in our shithole and will do the usual UPS horseshit tax/customs fees or whatever the fuck. my package is a single small item worth 40 bucks and shipping was around 20, and UPS wants me to pay 40 more for their gay fees. UPS drivers being the bastards they are, didn't knock or ring the door bell as I was home all day today, and apparently didn't scan the damn code too so looking up my InfoNotice number on the site leads to nothing. I'm making sure I never use UPS ever again, fuck yamato international too
Enough posts about FAZZ!
>>22594162FAZZ gets the parts to make ZZ head
>>22594176yeah, you can see them all in >>22594102
>>22594176hold up, does the v-fin on ZZ's head really stick out like that under the cannon? that's ugly
>>22592257Finished the Sinanju and zaku 2 in time for my hobbytown competition. Didn't win, but it was cool to be there
>>22594182There's always a gap like this for the transforming V-fin element yeah. Bit of a shame. Not hard to fix though either.
>>22594187could have been avoided by having an alternative, static v fin part. But yeah not the end of the world.
>>22594190Yeah, I really wish they did. I think the old MG did? Maybe it was a Zeta? They've done it with a transforming v-fin before, and it'd definitely be the better choice.
post chinkgod kinos
>>22594190>>22594191Zeta ver Ka has the red Jewel that is static that prevents it transforming but covers up the ugly gap on the head
>>22594187the gap is specifically for when the v fin is stowed down for transformation. it's a little odd though, as the head cannon and top two fins are on a sliding mechanism, and it could simply not retract fully flush and the gap wouldn't need to be engineered in. There should be plenty of clearance with it sticking out an extra 1.5mm.
(plenty of clearance for transformation, as the head doesn't need to retract into the torso like the Zeta, as the ZZ's dual beam gun is what snaps on to cover it)
Is AliExpress all bootlegs? I want to get a certain kit but that’s the only place where it’s in stock for me.
>>22594201it has genuine kits too but they tend to be scalped pretty badly
>>22594201actually most things aren't. daban and co lack the time and resources to bootleg most kits. if it is a kit that you can find a daban/tt hongli/dragon momoko example of, there's a chance it will be bootleg. if the price is too good to be true, it 100% is a bootleg. but in most cases they won't be.
>>22594201If it says Bandai then it's real. If you're able to read then the only risk for you is box damaging during transportation.

>>22594433ANIME JA NAI
so apparently there's no official pics of the AA Model's FA ZZ's ass side, but based on a chinese review I found it has FAZZ's backpack, meaning it is just a recolor of FAZZ rather than "proper" FA ZZ, they just printed an extra instruction to use the ZZ head.
MP ZZ doko
How is pic related for joints/inner frame? Or do you guys use metallics?
doing part test fitting, should i have the fatima cockpit hatch open or closedi like the detailing in the cockpit, but i think it would kinda weird to have it posed with the lance while the cockpit is open, plus it looks like a big ear canal kind of
>>22594452That plastic cement cap is way too complex.
>>22594452my familiarity with FSS is limited but I think it's not out of the question to have the pilot leave it in an ostentatious pose when he gets out and checks on the fatima. If she has a separate cockpit? I dunno, if they share the place he could just be having a smoke outside.
>>22594457that is a good point, FSS is more of a fairy tale than a war story like gundam. very style over substance at times
Have somebody tryed painting candy white?I saw in a article and I wish to see the result for comparison.
HGUC Theta Plus when
>>22594460Idk what you're talking about some chapters of fss are way better written than anything from gundam especially the ones without sopp
>>22594464im only on the fourth volume, so far it seems more and more fairy tale especially since they introduced dragonsand it's definitely better written but it seems less committed to utilitarianism
>>22594461I tried doing that on a spoon to practice for the RG EVA 04 and it just looks like cum. I think I did it wrong though.
Why are anons so confused about the Full Armor ZZ from the anime just get this kit. I have one.
>>22594452>>22594457The lance is just ceremonial equipment, from the LED Mirage's first official unveiling, so you should probably keep that in mind when thinking about how to display it.
>>22594473lmao what a manletand the hands are so tiny lolololol
>>22594469Any pics?
>>22594478Anon that's the wrong ZZ, are you retarded?
>>22594489the proportions are exactly the same though
>>22594474thanks for the context! i had seen this page and thought it was a cool pose, I guess I forgot it was the napalm launcher rather than the lance. If I end up going with this pose the hatch will be closed but maybe if i want the hatch open I could have it in a neutral pose with some armour peices being installed with a gantry or something in preparation for the ceremony
>>22592257I need some feedback on my weathering, is it too much? Are paint chips still needed after this step? Personally I like this look without the sponge chipping but would it look better with?
>>22594452>fss kitDamn I actually love you more now
>>22594582gloss coat over your decals before weathering. the edges on the sides also feel a little too clean and uniform compared to the one in the middle
>>22594582imo it's a bit too even. the wear on the edges shouldn't be uninterrupted.
>>22594473that shit is old as fuck, also what if someone already has a ver ka. Guess there's no proper expansion pack for the armor.
>>22593489I like to do that for gundams, but I'm doing a more traditional tank style weathering with this. It'll look more realistic and tone down a bit when rust and washes are added
>>22594602>gloss coat over your decals before weatheringI did, 2 coats, but I might have thinned it a tad much or gerework decals are thicker than I normally use

Planning to dive into the realm of vintage kits (pre-modern HGs).Anything I should look out for, or any hidden gems I should try to grab?My plan was mainly to grab a bunch of the war in the pocket kits since they're some of the better engineered of the lot and test out some kit modification and painting techniques on.I also really want to grab the old Juaggu for some god forsaken reason.
At this point in time is $200 us an ok price on the MG EX-S Gundam 1.5? I want to pick up one to get closer to completing my sentinel collection of MG's and all I'm missing is the EX-S and Mk V, the Zeta Plus kits are nice if your able to grab one btw.
>>22595018the grunt F91 kits are cool but can be pricey, the OG dule molded HG's, The Formula 90 kits are also not to bad.
Mr. Color Thinner is less "hot" than hardware store lacquer thinner, right? I did Testors 1:1 with the latter for my last project and it seemed fine, and I saw a video doing Revell 1:1 with the former.
>>22595038mine generally stays at room temperature
>>22595034Was considering that, though I was more looking at things like victory, since I'm a fan of the Gun EZ.That and I'm planning to stick to 1/144 scale for the most part. Just the scale I tend to collect since space is at a premium where I'm at.
woah, didnt realize that they already released a bootleg MG Guntank
>>22595061There's bootlegs? Any bootleg G-Reco kits?

>>22595078Too bad it doesn't seem like it has the gattai gimmick.
I hate most of the new designs from the seed movie but damn the kits are very fucking solid.
>>22595074sorry, not even the chinks like G-reco enough to bootleg them
>>22595046>>22595038"hotness" in thise case is the tendency of the thinner to attack plastic. hardware-grade thinners can obviously melt plastic, but they work great as airbrush cleaners, while hobby-grade ones are formulated to be friendly to plastic.
>>22595094Never can get a fucking break. I'll fucking get all of these cunts back for their treachery. I WILL scalp those fucking G-Self kits when they get reprinted again and I'll fuck all of these cunts over. And anyone here made a good kitbash lately? I have a bunch of pieces from different models that I need to get the inspiration to frankenstein together.

>>22594452wait the self harm tranny is based? wtf i thought he was just a gay snapshitter
>>22595280You should be using their regular mr color or gaianotes if you're airbrushing. Vallejo is only good for handbrushing. And aqueous is just worse than their regular mr color line.
>Get hopes up seeing that resto build made the shortlist and I can finally dust off my beaten up no-grade Vayeate>Know that it will inevitably lose and Vayeate will stay in the stashI was hoping that the anniversary build would make it through so I'd have 2 shots in 5 of getting to do what I want with it, but I guess it will have to wait for a weaker field.

Vallejo are good for painting minis or doing weathering. I wouldn't ever airbrush with them when better alternatives exist (literally all lacquers)
Lacquer fags melting down. I've been posting acrylic for years and will continue to do so and tell you all it's lacquer.
airbrushing with water based acrylics is like arc/stick welding. if you can get decent results with them, you'll have developed the skills to airbrush any kind of paint. no training wheels for retards, but definitely require more effort for comparable results to other paint bases.
>>22595764That's not your picture and that's not acrylic
>>22595767>is like arc/stick welding.wat
>>22595769>n....no!!!!!!!!!!!!Whatever helps you cope bro.
How do you feel about delpi decal? Although the quality is good, I noticed that the colors for a lot of their decal sheets are slightly off. For example, a lot of the reds are a lot darker, when they should be lighter and more pinkish.
>>22595785Here's the gundam statue. You can see it's pink and not red.
>>22595790I need a few more pixels to tell if this is pink or not.
>>22595782It would only take a second to prove that it's your pic and that's it acrylic. But you can't because neither are true.
lacquercels coping real hard right now after that TRVKE was dropped
Can we just go back to talking about FAZZ
>>22595826a'ightso these side pieces >>22593985 ARE only included with the Enhanced ZZ, not regular ZZ nor FAZZ, yeah?
I regret selling my FAZZ Ver Ka on fb marketplace for weed
>>22595828yesFAZZ has its own beam cannon design and the runners from EZZ which contain them has that section cut off and only the necessary pieces for the FAZZ duplicated elsewhere, not those EZZ-only parts.
the only ZZ in this house is ZZeonghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-GhXpW3qL0
I selling my legit ZZ ver ka for the pagpag version of FAZZ ver ka
>>22595828>>22595841however these are really small parts comparatively, so it's not too hard to scratch build a replacement for them
>>22595844He's a big guy.
>>22595810Vallejo black surface primer, vallejo gloss black base coat, vallejo metal color gunmetal gray on top, and lastly tamiya clear red acrylic. Gloss coated with future furniture polish. Cope.
>>22595876I want your babies anon
>>22595876>/M/fake gamer
>>22595844hey that's pretty cool
>>22595844>heat bluing parts>heat bluing said parts on a space only MSretard alert!
>>22595769nta but you can actually get close to that look with water based paints. vallejo makes water based acrylic-urethane candy clears and their water based acrylic-urethane gloss varnish is very glossy. green stuff world also make water based acrylic candy clears. for metallics vallejo's metal color is pretty good, and that undercoat looks like silver rather than a mirror chrome. the paint selection is more limited and getting a good finish out of these paints is a pain in the ass compared to lacquers, though.pic related, gsw water based candy yellow+brown over gsw alcohol based chrome
>>22595877You can have them. Thankfully I still produce strong fertile sperm, because I don't paint with lacquer kek
>>22595876mein gott that must have been a pain to do anon.
I want a twink bf to work on gunpla with..
>>22595908too bad
>>22595905not more so than painting anything else that involves more than a single basecoat, I had all of the red done in two sittings
>>22595764is that the ashura temple
>>22595876I have all of that stuff already except for Gaianotes clear red rather than Tamiya. I'll have to try that out with a spoon.Do you have to seal acrylic paints before you airbrush lacquer or enamel paints on top? I'm worried about lacquer solvent melting acrylic paint long term.
>>22595764>>22595876oh my gosh
>>22593447I wish I had this level of disposable income
Island of unfinished kits in progress.
>>22595980you could sell your bussy
>>22595966Yes they have to be sealed and cured, I'd give it at least 24-48 hours. You'd be better off getting the tamiya clear red just to avoid any issues.
>slowly putting together pieces that can be sprayed together without masking>still not sure if i should just use spray cans or buy a $40 mini compressor + dual action brush off of amazon to paint with>also not sure if i want to go high gloss on all the parts, or just the inner frame with the armor being matte>not sure how to handle chrome with spray cans anywayim going to go insane>>22595990>gogg>guntanknice
>>22595999I got this one on Amazon and I've been using it almost daily for about 5 months, not a single complaint, actually I quite like it. When I got it it was $60cad.
>>22595999I have an entire old set up. Compressor, iwata eclipse, amd one of those fold up amazon plastic spray booths. Interested?
>>22596004any pictures of the results you've managed with this? I've seen these thrown around a lot and want to see what to expect before considering one.
>>22596004that looks solid, pretty similar to the one i was eyeing>>22596011too autistic/anxious to handle buying things from anons sorry
>>22596013nta but i used something like this for a year. the compressor anyway, the chinkshit brush disintegrated after a week. the compressor was fine for basecoats but when i started doing shading and needed lower psi it struggled to keep a consistent pressure (also i had to buy a mac valve for the airbrush because those compressors don't have any psi control). mine was also battery powered and after a year the battery had degraded so much that it was basically unusable, but that one looks like it's mains powered so that shouldnt be an issue. personally i wouldn't recommend it, just get a full sized compressor
>>22596014You don't have to pay for it, but understandable
>>22596022no worries, thanks for the offer anyway
>>22595991what's with the thirsty fags in this thread?
>>22594833LONDONONDON
>>22596013The Scopedog earlier itt, this Nu I finished last week, lots of others I've posted prior. I only got it to try out airbrushing without spending a lot, so I have nothing to compare it to, but I like the results I get with it so I haven't felt the need to upgrade as of yet
>>22596013>>22596037An example of pre-shading I've done with it as well

>>22596066Post a pic of what you mean?
Want to start with making custom builds, any recommendations for 30MM or gunpla kits that would fit a racing mech??
>>22596105depends on how you envision a "racing mech"there's tons of ways you could interpret that as a theme.atmospheric flight?hovering/wheeled?sleek, stripped down, lightweight version of a combat suit?tons of propellant tanks and thrusters for space?focus on that, then select base kits accordingly. imo most 30mm kits are too blocky to be a base without significant modification.
>>22596105Shaldoll from AGE literally is a racing MS that just so happens to be fit for combat with minimal adjustments

Can I airbrush mr hobby flat coat over tamiya weathering master without it starting to run?
>>22596121It would do great, but it wouldn't finish
>>22592257Started painting my ZAP recast
>>22595785Love Delpi but their colors tend to be more standardized compared to the official designs which sucks if you're autistic about that kind of thing. Their GM Sleggar decals were mostly good but they turned the brownish S symbol to a boring grey which I hated. There's these Artisan's Club decals that match the 3.0's pink and I've had good experiences with their decals in the past.
>>22596169just paint the decal before u use it
What should I get between RG Epyon and Banshee? I like the look of the Banshee more but everyone is saying the Epyon is like one of the best gunpla ever. I can only afford one right now. I also thunk the Epyon weapon variety is kinda lame (only one sword!?)
>>22596176don't get the banshee unless you plan on painting the hideous molded gold
>>22596176whichever you like the look of more. I'd pick Banshee myself
>>22596158https://twitter.com/26pIsdlxgMVFYi3/status/1782815127563301177Try again
>>22596176Epyon is foolproof if you're newer to RG and building, whereas Banshee requires some thinking steps through seriously and genuinely before applying every step, because hamhanded retards keep breaking their shoulder and upper arm joints (This is the case for all RG Unicorns) by not paying careful enough attention to the manual during building. The gold is going to look buttfuck ugly, so you'll really want to paint it. If you aren't interested in painting and just snapfitting, Epyon. If you are, Banshee.
>>22596176I'd go with the Epyon first.
>>22596176Newer RGs are absolutely incredible models. Any of the last, I don't know, 10 new sculpt RGs are dramatically better than any other that came before. Absolutely Epyon if you like it.
>>22595876>SH Studio recastLMAO
>>22596093>>22596066Sorry, I meant the transformation mechanism left by the Delta into the mega shiki, not the hyaku, where the thigh-knee joint is allowed to overextend.
>>22596178>>22596190Is the gold really that ugly? Doesn't look that bad on online pics

Did some poor anon get talked into buying Infinitism Jeeg because of me, and if so has he ended up enjoying it

>>22596331New shipment of Strike Daggers came in and overloaded their warehouse.
>>22596371I see, are you getting him eventually?I'm still indecisive on whether to get Kaiser or Zero in a few months, or just go with Getter Dragon to get some non-SD Getter joining the fray. Jeeg isn't horrible, as long as he doesn't eventually explode, he's fine. The worry about stressing the leg part stresses me out, but a careful person can probably avoid this problem
is this shit ever coming out?>expected release in march>then april>now may
Holy SHIT shipping from Japan got so expensive! I haven't ordered anything from HLJ in years is it normal to cost $40 for the cheapest option?
everything's finally here and i can at last start on this guy.

Die FuckerFinished snapping ohana beargguy, really flimsy plastic for this kit and polycap connections. Even cutting nubs with a knife, the plastic already seemed to have stress marks at the gate connection. It’s cute and came with 2 other small figures but not the most satisfying build
