>>22686887Recolored the rg rx178.I had some of the shitty testors acryllics from that beginners set from hobby lobby. It's terrible compared to the tamiyas I've used previously Handpainting this was hard and I think I'll stick to painting MGs in the future rather than RGs. The first layer of topcoat came out frosty, but it sorted itself out with another layer. Not sure if I'll add more decals to this or not. I also made the mistake of not removing the green clear bits from the chest before topcoating that as well. Had to really fuck around with exposure and white balance to get any details to be visible in a photo, so that was fun.
spent the whole afternoon applying water slides
Any bongs ever used Delta H Ltd? They have some P. Bandai stuff I want but I have never heard of them before.
>>22686905This one shows the color separation a bit more. For some reason when I'm putting on the decals, the setter seems to rub off a bit of the top coat/paint. When I'm putting the decal on and adjusting it with a qtip, some of the paint bleeds onto the qtip. Is this a problem with the type of top coat interacting with a specific paint? Or is it just not enough top coat? Used testors acryllic and mr super clear semi gloss.
At this rate, which is more likely? MG Gundam Mk-II Ver.KA, MG GP01 Ver.KA or MG G-Self Ver.Ka.
rgex ball ver ka
>>22686919katoki wouldn't touch the lump of shit that is g-self with a 60 metre pole
trying to pose a kit from the early 90s in a way that looks somewhat dynamic is tough
at least for static poses it looks ok
last pic but i think the dahgi iris at least looks pretty dramatic from some angles
>>22686919>MG Gundam Mk-II Ver.KAObviously
>>22686937>>22686943>>22686944SEXO
how does one paint super small details such as 3mm long lines that are supposed to be metallic silver? I was trying to imitate a sticker with paints and it didn't work out too well
>>22686997I hate that there are so many goddamn Base Jabber variants that this has to be a thing. I know it's because of how sprawled out UC is, but god fucking damn. To say nothing of how it also needs to be a thing for the 1/100 scale line as well.
>>22686997do people really build base jabbers
>>22686997>EWAC Zaku bundled with shit nobody cares aboutThey know exactly what they're doing. Somebody actually needs to start stalking bandai executives with a ball peen hammer.
>>22687019Zack not Zaku. I can't read.
>>22687019>shit nobody cares about>gaza cWHAT
>>22687014Obviously you don't just build it to display by itself, but if for example you want to do a Black Star Jesta display, you could buy three of these to go with three HGUC Jestas, make an ocean base and get a nifty diorama going.
>>22687019Those kits in unicorn ver and colours don't exist outside of that set. Sure they're basically recolours with different wrist parts for the gaza c and ewac zack but I unironically wanted this.
>>22687022Nobody gives a shit about the unicorn version, otherwise they wouldn't have bundled it with the EWAC Zack.
>>22687019Those bundles are pretty nice though. Usually they come with waterslides too, right?
>>22687036i would buy it, i think it looks nice
>>22687035I respect that. These kits are what PBandai should be all about. The shitty part is that if you only want one, you have to get all of them, hence the "They know exactly what they're doing".>>22687039I'd hope so. You're paying 55 burgers + tip for the privilege of getting a Geara Doga that doesn't even look like it's been covered in piss.
Any point to keeping boxes?
>>22687058Art pretty. Also you can fill them with bricks for an even more formidable box fort.
>>22687058>Having to ask if you should keep boxes or notI'm genuinely concerned about some of you.
>>22687058I only keep boxes of hard to find kits or memes like MG The O or Turn X for shitposting. Non rare P-bandai monochrome boxes I toss immediately and I only keep the covers of normal kits until I finish painting.
>>22687068how do you have room for them when your mom kicked you out, luxemneet anon?
>keeping boxes>not cutting out the label and putting it in a bag along with the extra partsdo people really have stacks of boxes lying aroundi keep some spare ones just for holding parts for what i'm working on or misc supplies, i have one i dump all my nubs into bc i like seeing all of them together accumulating, etc but how would you even have a place to put them all
>>22687073I'm not him, I actually haven't built my turn x and the o yet and they're sitting in my backlog wall in my parents basement. Yeah I live with my parents but I will unironically never own a home because I live in the shithole known as Canada.
>>22687077Oh dang that's brutal. That's nice that you have both the turn x and the o though. How much did you pay for them?
>>22687058I flip the box tops around and use them with the bottoms as Christmas present boxes. Some box tops I keep for the art, usually MGs and up.Runners I make into budget action bases or failing that, I melt into putty with acetone which is useful as a filler.I keep a few of the plastic baggies to store the kits/spare parts in.
>>22687086Turn X was 14.5k yen and The O was around 29k, including shipping and customs.
>>22687102Not that bad of rape prices. Do you think either of these will ever get a reprint in the next couple years?

>>22686973>>22687145reverse wash enamels or thin enamels and use like panel line fluid
>painting and wiring fully finished>test everything individually, everything works fine>wire comes off at the base of one of the side skirts>light stops working on other front skirt>use chisel to dig the 4 leds out of the back of both and replace them>connection comes undone between the knee joint and thigh>wire falls through so I'd have to open the seam-removed part to thread it through>give up on that>test upper body again>two leds on the front shoulders + the one on the head suddenly not working despite not being touched>separate all the wires and test each individual LED, shits broke>entire lines seem completely intact (they run through the chest but the chest isn't sealed)Is it a skill issue? Did they get shorted or something somehow? I was repeatedly testing them all the way up to this point so I could catch anything wrong ASAP so I'm a bit miffed. I'll replace the non-functioning ones but I'm probably going to put off on it for now since I was planning on taking a break after this one
>>22687199They were aliexpress LEDs that were supposedly 3v and the powersource is also 3v.
>>22687199>>22687205I'm thinking about it now and these wires were pretty delicate and broke easily so maybe they could have broken somewhere within the shielding when i twisted them together before connecting
>>22686906Looks good from I can see, but your picture is in a pretty low resolution so I can't make out the details like if your waterslides look good or if you missed nub marks etc, the pics too small and blurry. Basically any phone camera in the last 10+ years should go leaps and bounds above that so maybe borrow one from a family member instead of taking pics on your current device.
>>22687058I used to throw away boxes for most things(expensive hardware, action figures, consoles/handheld systems, dvd & video games(kept the discs in a binder) to save on space until I grew a bit older and realized that not only do I lose the memories of opening these products, but also the resale value. Now there is a difference with built gundam kits having little to no resale value, but I personally like picking up built kits boxes and looking at the art on the front as well as the action poses it could do that are advertised on the side. It reminds me of the memories I had picking it out at the store, and if I wanted to store it, I wouldn't have to put it in some crappy ziplock bag(I have a ton of action figures without boxes just sitting in plastic bags getting scuffed up that I absolutely regret throwing the boxes out for).If your under 60 kits, keep the boxes.If your over 60 kits, I could see the need to toss those boxes, but I still think its a waste.
watching 08th MS team while applying water slides>pure kino
>>22687259>If your over 60 kits, I could see the need to toss those boxes, but I still think its a waste.You can always cut them or just press into flat and throw the bottom, unprinted part. That's how I do and have to do since I already ran out of space.

Best metallic green for handpainting? Want to paint the cameras instead of using stickers
>>22687119OH SHIT
>>22687323I've been using ammo mig metallics. Pretty good in my case.
>>22687323Vallejo have metallic medium for that.
>>22687058I keep the boxes and wrap it in a plastic covering with bubble wrap. This is just so in case I would need to move and I like displaying the box art. They are gorgeous.
Jesus christ it's gorgeous.
>>22686937I didn't even know a Dahgi kit existed. Nice one Anon, how'd you find the build?
>>22687458it was on ebay, i bought it and just "sketched" out the colours in gimp with the lineart. the sword is from gouf custom, and it also has a rifle modified from the zaku 1 sniper which i'll try taking pics with at some point
>>22687460Fair enough, you did a good job with it Anon I gotta say. Looking forward to seeing more pics.I'm hoping to find a denan zon kit at some point
>>22687465it helps to just check ebay every now and then, sometimes you get lucky and can find a reasonably priced kit before it gets sold
>>22687474True, unfortunately ebay isn't really great for gunpla in bongland. I've been checking surugaya for any old kits lately, lotta old G Gundam kits but not so much for F91.
>>22687327>reverse searchIs this from Muv luv?
Does any Hyaku Shiki kit suffer from the gold plastic problem? I really want to get one but I'm worried about the plastic.
>>22687548I've only got the MG 2.0 myself but it's been pretty good for me. Haven't had any real issues during or after the build.
>>22687548The shiny gold shiki doesn't have that problem because they use that electric tech to get the shiny gold to stick. I also haven't heard about issues with the piss gold shiki either.
>>22687546Sarg from Argento Soma
>>22687565Thanks. What a strange and interesting designs.
>Been paralysed by fear of fucking up my group build entry for nearly a month>Just go "fuck it we ball" and managed to get 2 of my scratch built elements almost done tonight (and the beginnings of the custom backpack)Why does this happen every time /gpg/? At least I might still have time to finish it this time around.
>>22687583Panic is a great motivator. Still good job anon.
When's my boy Zero Shiki getting HG kit?
>>22687610maybe when Define ends
Anyone here 3d print? Where can I find gunpla stuff on telegram?
>>22687415not gunpla or plamotake it to the RD thread
>>22686919MG Calibarn Ver Ka. You know it, I know it and everyone knows it unless they derail themselves and ride on the Freedom movie by making a Mighty Strike Freedom Ver Ka.
>>22687357>>22687368Thanks, I will look into this.
>>22687665Fuck me, it's a figure and I thought it was a plamo.
>>22687669you can tell it's not a plamo because it actually looks good
>>22686997>Whole load of (mostly) nothing>AgainI want to pull a Kiyoani on the office where the people who make these decisions work
>>22687610At this point, 3D printing guys that make conversion kits will churn the Zero Shiki out before Bandai does.
>>22687677or you can just make it with nemo and rick dias parts on hyaku
>>22687669you can tell it's not a plamo because the details are soft and mudded up with vinyl paint
It finally arrived. What to expect on this?
>>22687646>telegramI thought that's where rightoid extremists go to plan their marching band rehearsals and bake sales?
>>22687746it's where pedos go to jack off to indonesians torturing macaques
>>22687745Oh hey, I have the same dspiae knife. But plastic that holds the blade in place started crumbling at some point
Reposting from the previous thread, would there be any negative effects if I used gundam marker to add small details to a lacquer painted part and then use a lacquer topcoat (Mr. Super Clear) to seal the part?
>>22687775Gundam markers suck and dry up after a few hours. I'd rather do details with a fine tip brush and enamel paint so I can clean up any mistakes like a reverse wash.
>>22687775yeah, you might cause a chemical reaction and explode your kit. Happened to me once, lost my right eye
Convince me not to get into this shit
>>22687798do you really want to be associated with people like us?
>>22687798if you're just gonna snapshit them it's no better than collecting funko pops. don't bother, go buy another counter strike gun skin instead. we have enough snapshitting redditors as it is.on the other hand if you're gonna actually put work into them and paint them it's a fun, relaxing, and fulfilling hobby and i would rather encourage you to get into it than convince you not to
>>22687805i'm gonna snapshit some PGs just for you <3
>>22686883Need to ask anyone who's bought those old 1/48 Full Metal Panic kits, how are they? Im working on customizing the 1/60 scale ones and need some that scale with Military models. I found some on mercari.
>>22687798please get into it and post your 0 effort nubby snapshits in the thread daily to piss off the chuds
>>22687798You'll consume a SD gundam worth of plastic in a week if you do get into it
>>22687805>Funko pop>Counter strike>RedditDo you just sit here and make up imaginary enemies and get angry over nothing?
>>22687798you will get plastic in your dick
>>22687811>nubby snapshitsI don't know what that means, but I'm looking at this guy, and I feel tempted
So I snap built my first model and want to do a lot more for my second one, have a few questions:Is there a significant difference between buying the specialized paints and just going to my local Home Depot or whatever and getting a few spray cans? A lot of the cans there have primer/paint as one can, does that mean I can skip the primer layer and just directly spray that type of paint?I want to make some custom decals (unique symbols and the like). Is there a good shop for this you guys recommend? How would it work, would I just send them a pdf of my designs or something?
>>22687745floppy
>>22687833Car spray paint can be fine for model stuff, specialized model paint on a primed surface will still be easier to get a good result with though.(I'm a snapchad and have never painted a gunpla)
>>22687833those paints will be way too thick for use on model kits, which often have small details that will get drowned out with the thick layers of spray paint not designed with that in mind
>https://youtube.com/shorts/H9CKo6iFH9I?si=efyZGlKdFLUa35gUSo why arent you making your own gunpla out of the frames from the series?
>>22687858Do me a favor and install the plugin which allows you to view youtube shorts as regular videos so you can start sharing the regular URLs.
>>22687863Which one?
>>22687810Which "old" ones? Bandai or Kotobukyia?
>>22686887Finished the decals and topcoat for the Turn Red, went matt for the white/grey/black parts and gloss for the red parts.
>>22687865There is better youtube shorts. Oh and also if you use tampermonkey etc there is a script that redirects them as regular videos.
>kept putting off GTM kit for ages>finally decide to get started on it>it's started yellowingFugIt's very faint but still noticeable, is there any way I can undo it?
>>22687877Something like paint could help
>>22687885The color change in the material and loss of transparency is still going to be noticeable. You aren't supposed paint the clear parts with solid colors.
>>22687889Try dying it.
>>22687889>clear partsAye, fair, sorry
>>22687798faggot
>>22687157>still have the one from Koto unbuiltGoddammit. Looking at the Shin Getter chances are the Moderoid is going to be better than Koto's too.
>>22687889You may be screwed.
>>22687798this is what gunpla builders look like, do you want to be associated with these people?
>>22687908Yes, they look like happy kind awkward people who just want to enjoy their hobby in peace.
>>22687798Expensive as fuck, you want every single model to have a kit. You will eventually want to customize and then it becomes even more expensive. This is an endless well, no matter how much shit you fill it up with, there's no end.
>>22687908from left to right>thief>mage>warrior
>>22687919you just know the third worlders are speaking when they say this hobby is expensive, this hobby is cheap af, imagine being into fucking cars as a man, you are more or less perpetually broke
>>22687923Who gives a fuck money is going out with this hobby. At least with a car you can sell it for a depreciated amount, with gunpla there is rarely anyone that wants to buy what you have already built.
>>22687877Recast or original, also kept in a cool dry area away from sun? Because that's really fast for yellowing
>>22687919>Expensive as fuckgunpla is cheap as fuckand there is always daban or other chink brands now
>>22687908I look like a fusion of the two masked guys
>>22687919have you had an actual adult hobby before?like working on a vehicle, home renovation or backpacking?gunpla is incredibly cheap.
>>22687947Why would I go with knock offs?
>>22687950Yeah it is cheap compared to those hobbies.
>>22687950Man I could be buying more guns but I keep buying this plastic crack instead, luckily I'm almost done getting everything I want for the time being I think. My backlog is fucking massive.
>>22687958guns, musical instruments, cooking, fishing, travel, rape, and general aviation make gunpla look like lunch money
>>22687863>>22687865you don't need a plugin just change /shorts/ in the url to /watch/
>>22687972Ha ha very funny anon, everybody knows cooking is for women.
>>22687975I would never entrust something as important as cooking to a woman
>>22687975there are one hundred male chefs for every six female chefs with Michelin stars. women are bad cooks.
>>22687981>statistics tell me everything
>>22687982seeing as there are ~150 active restaurants with three Michelin stars, and only one of them has a female head chef, it's demonstrably established that women lack the ability to reach the pinnacle of cuisine.
>>22687982It's common sense that men are superior to women in anything except for handling children and applying makeup.
>>22687982>the opinions and selections of the most highly revered body of culinary inspectors have no merit
>>22687987>Culinary expert>From a literal tire manufacturing company.
>have a few successful games with some suit in GBO2>now want a kit of itGod fucking damn it, not again.
>>226879512x3 times cheaper and good enough
>>22687997But you have to pay rape shipping most of the time so it almost evens out
>>22687990The whole michelin star thing started from a travel magazine they used to run
>>22687990You know they just hire the experts with this thing called money right? Being run by a tire company has pretty much nothing to do with the expertise of the people they hire to inspect restaurants
>>22687983>>22687985>>22687987it feels good to remind myself I am a smarter, better person than most people on this site
>>22688006>pay rape shipping>mg virtue for 47 with shippinglooks good to me
>>22688015sure, but you're shorter, less attractive and have a lower 1rm

I've been Jegan pilled after buying all the cheap P-bandai Jegan kits off Suru-gay
>>22687058Just keep one big box to put all leftovers in>>22687145I use tamiya enamels thinned 1:1 for that purpose, and also some other small spots but bigger than panel lines hence just 1:1 and not more. Cleans up easily
>>22687943YesWas just a recast though that I bought for practice so it's not the end of the world
Redpill me on the Exia/00/Quant line, there's so many and I just want one of each.
Vanilla HG-Self is backordered on HLJ, and out of stock everywhere else.
>>22688070I can't hit below the belt unless I crouch down
>>22688117Quant is the only MS in in the Exia/00/Quant without a PG. All three have MGs and HGs.
>>22688153Why didn't you buy the Perfect Pack when it was in stock for 6 minutes?
>>22687908I think I went to school with the bearded white guy. Where was this taken?
Is there any official structure to how the Federation or Zeon deploy their mobile suit teams? I want to get autistic and make a full platoon or company but I cant find anything other then them normally having 3 suits to a squad.Do they even use normal military platoon/company designations or is there some in-universe specific lore I am missing?
>>22688159who the fuck buys perfect grades>>22688209dorreys
forgot pic
>>22688209I've only really noticed that the Federation tends to deploy their MS in four to a team.
>>22688216008th MS Team is all about 3-MS teams. Zeon doesn't really entirely follow that and there's lot of situations with odd numbers of MS on the field, but Topp's team was 3 MS too. 0080 shows us a 4 MS special ops team, and the Gray Phantom deploys its entire MS compliment. The whole franchise certainly doesn't follow these rules though. Feddies strap as many Jims and Balls as they can to their Salamis and deploy them all at once. Musais are limited in carrying capacity so they couldn't field all that much. We also only really see how things are deployed in major battles for the most part. I'm pretty sure any attempt at making rules for it is going to have holes poked by some animation or another, so really just interpret it all however you think is coolest.
>>22688222oh shit, it's LEG
>>22687076I had like 20 MG boxes by the time I left my parents place. When I moved out I asked them to break them all down asap and recycle them because I didn't want to keep hoarding them.
>>22688207maybe ottawa i dont remember
>>22687610Why is the Reborns the only other Gundam type MS with a full crown instead of a V-fin?
>>22688308wait, its that same asian nerd, is he related to animextreme?
>no Final Battle partsWhy get this over the Kotobukiya kit then?
>cleaning up my box fort>check my HG Zaki II Origin Ver.>also have RG Zaku II>wild idea of using the RG Zaku II to mod my HG for more detailsGuess I have my plan for the next month now.
>>22688281why wouldn't you do that yourself
>>22688431So you don't have silly shit like the torso-to-arms polycaps that are just plopped in and secured by friction.
Is the Sinanju really that bad?
>>22688610Which one?
>>22688610The RG is terrible because of how fragile the frame and flimsy everything is. The glossy finish looks good tho. The MG lacks the details of the RG such as movable parts and it doesnt have a glossy finish, the frame is sturdy. Havent tried the HG yet but they say its good.
>>22688617All of them, apparently
>>22688610I built the MG 3 times, and the only problem it really has is the shield, it hold its weirdly because the shield is comically too large and the Sinanju spikes on the lower shoulder is bumping to it. the mechanism to attach it to the shoulder doesn't work because the shield is too heavy, so it kinda holds it in the signature Katoki pose when standingalso, you have to paint the gold trimThe SInanju Stein fixes the issue by not having the spikes in the shoulder
>>22688640Fuckin gogegeous kit. I’ll get another one to paint.
>not many parts to snap I'll do that before slee->x8
>>22687908Middle guy is cosplaying as chrischan, I bet he's the most unhinged of these three.
>>22688700He's got the red gouf so he's based.

What Ver. Ka.s are worth the money?
>>22686887Working on Falcom for my Dad.
>>22687972To be fair musical instruments can be super expensive or even cheaper than gunpla, my taishogoto hobby costs me a couple of hundred a year in strings along and instruments run from a few hundred to a couple of grand (but I don't buy new instruments since finding the ones that suit me), meanwhile my tin whistle hobby has cost me about fifty bucks in fifteen years (c whistle, d whistle, teach yourself book and negligible cleaning supplies).
>>22688735all of them if you like how they look
>>22688739How are the Zeta and ZZ?Those are the ones catched my eye.Anything I should know beforehand?
>>22688735None of them if you don't like how they look.

>>22688832>design a complex toy that when moving parts attempts to even recreate mechanical movements of pistons etc>Then get lazy at the end and just say fuck it not giving a shit that these two parts don't fit together wellNot the first and not the last kit of bandai's amateur hour.
>>22688842It's amazing how it took less than a sentence to reveal you're shitposting
>>22688640I've had the piece that holds the shield to the arm of the HG Sinanju snap off thanks to those shoulder spikes.
>>22688845>I am butthurt at the truth therefore your post is a shitpostIt's amazing how every post you have made is a shitpost.
>>22688813You sound like you are a fake with no kits to build, I bet you buy everything prebuilt.
>>22688308im going to kill that faggot dressed as my wife
>Buy an HG kit to practice air brushing.>It has now snowballed into buying every HG kit I can find.This fuckin hobby.
Where did "Gunpla is freedom" originally comes from? Because I think it's bullshit, and every community outside /gpg/ always hide behind that phrase to justify their horrid actions, and I hate how some people treat their gunplas. Fuck, why do I get heated over this
>>22686887A little update on the hands me down Freedom from my friend. He permanently glued all these parts shut, is there a way to dissolve a hardened CA glue? Searched some information and someone said acetone might work, but idk if soaking this in acetone would harm the plastic?
>>22688948It comes from doing whatever the fuck you want with your property. As long as the person isn't trolling I don't give a shit what they do with their toys.
>>22688948it's been repeated over and fucking over again by Bandai for over a decade and tards like you are why we keep doing it
Do I need to paint pieces if I like the color or can I just topcoat it and have it look the same?
>>22688966there will be a difference but it's pretty damn insignificantprovided nubs and so on are properly cleaned that is
>>22688782Desk is a mess, guess I can clean it up today while waiting for my buddy to hit the gym with me
>>22688966The kit will look a little softer because the colored plastic will still have a degree of translucency.
>>22688979>>22688969What about like the white pieces? Like if I were to change the color of some blue pieces to red and paint those pieces, but just topcoat all the white pieces so I don’t have to paint them the same white color. Would that look ok or would it look weird?
>>22688973sexo
>>22688984provided the colors themselves are a good match, it should be fine
>>22688966There will be a pretty slight difference, I have some kits where I'm too lazy to paint the inner frames, but since it was the inner frames, you couldn't really tell, can't say much about outer armor
>>22688985ah, saving on condoms I see
>>22688991I would never buy condoms due to being a bottom>>22688984it should look fine, the biggest difficulty is going to be going from red to blue, since one is warm and the other is cool. if you use a primer to cover the red first, it should help a lot. just use thin coats and the pieces won't be visually noticeably thicker really
>>22688973Show the other room corner
>>22688995Thighs anon?
>>22688995Why are you gay?
>>22688999Why aren't you?
>>22688984It'll look a little different but should be fine
>>22688998y-yea
>>22689006I have strong feelings for you.
>>22689007just kidding im not that person
Is this a good model kit? It only got 100 points on dalong which is a bit alarming for a ver ka which seem to always get around ~120. Is the RG better?
>>22689006You're the worst. I hope you stay here forever
>>22689014do you like how it looks?For your own sake I stopped reading after the first sentence.
>>22689014The RG blows it out of the water sad to say. But it's still a very great kit.
>>22689016I like the shape of the gundam but I think it would be cooler with differnent colors.
>>22689019
>>22688894omg
>>22689014Ignore Dalong's stupid scores. He gives minus points for water slides for example.
>1/144 Xi conversionIs anyone familiar with this thing? Trying to understand why it gained almost 1/100 Height.
>>22689056just usual """"""better"""""" proportions with extended legs
>>22689056Mostly via legs
>>22689056More like 1/120, but it's because the chinese don't care about scale or consistency. They're literally all over the place, even within the same brand, for no reason. Like the Amazing Cast resin kits with the inner skeleton are randomly 1/100 and 1/90
I wish Bandai would be as autistic about releasing random shit nobody has heard of as the gatchashit devs are, so many interesting suits stuck in that dogshit game
>>22689089Just modify HG EWAC jegan
>>22688782
>>22689118If it's not a photo it doesn't count. I could type out a random list of every kit too doesn't mean it's true.
MG XI Gundam Ver.KA when?
>>22688782Just these and a boxfull of built HGs for groupbuild/custom fodder.Planning on armoring up the Copy X since Eastern Model no longer makes MMZ kits.What a waste of licensing.
>>22689098No I want bandai to spoon feed me with P. Bandai overpriced grunts.
>>22688959>Soaking PS in acetoneGee anon, I don't know, would dunking a plastic part into one of the solvents used for plastic cement damage the part?Soaking it is definitely a no go, chances are you'll melt the part, fuse them together even more or end up damaging them while separating them. I'm afraid those things are stuck together for good. Not sure what you're doing here, but if it's painting I think masking the parts is your best option, best of luck.
>>22689122i'll post the snapped shit too if you're not satisfied
>>22689130hopefully never. The Penelope and Xi are terrible designs.
>>22689146Some of you need beatings.
>>22689140>one of the solvents used for plastic cementWhew, I didn't know that, thanks.Yea I think (at the moment) masking is a no go too, because I also need to paint the inner armor of the vents and masking it would be a bitch (even with liquid masking gel) but I'll try, if that fails then buying an aftermarket body unit would be my go to. Lucky because the people from my local gunpla group on Facebook usually sell junk parts and everything, hopefully there's one for this kit.
>>22689142>White GlintGet on it anon. NOW
>>22689172Not him but white glint is my next painting project
>>22689147I will club you with both of those kits so that you realise how terrible they are.
>>22689156I swear a lot of people are getting gatekeep'd by the stupid naming scheme of many gunpla kits.
Someone explain the appeal of these things to me
>>22689211It's like the self harm of plamo
>>22689211Fancy art piece in mecha form. Some people genuinely like the exotic look
>>22689181Nice, don't let us down anon, godspeed
>>22689214MH vs GTM is like actual art vs modern "art"
>>22689211>explain the appealThats retarded. Do you really think there's a combination or words/phrases that would make you go "oh wow I never thought of it that way I guess I like Gothicmade now?"
>>22689227yeah
>>22689221GTMs are symmetrical and have a cohesive design. They also have an immediately easily identifiable and memorable silhouette, which is extremely important in character design. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's bad.
>>22689232Yes it does
>>22689232>it's unique so it's good
>>22689207>He hasn't read watership down
>>22689227How is this a difficult concept? Are you one of those people who cannot envision an apple in their head?Explain the appeal. It has nothing to do with trying to convince someone. I like grunt suits because they are often chunky and have a more simple 'non-flashy' military-like design that lends itself well to a 'dirty and damaged' paint jobs. Easy.
>>22689273>Are you one of those people who cannot envision an apple in their head?Nope I can change the apple into different shapes and colors and even draw/paint/sculpt them. I just don't think there's anything you can say to make someone like something that they hate. It's a waste of time.
>>22689207GATEKEPTSNAPSHATU FUCKERS NEED TO LEARN PROPER VERB CONJUGATION AAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>22689282it's more about wanting to hear from someone who DOES like it, what they do like about itlike imagine some hot jock guy comes up to and says to explain the appeal of ur gay little fagbotsit may not be something he's into, but you could explain to him that you like building them because it's meditative and a nice creative outlet
>>22689212Isn't that a resin kit? I could see myself trying the plastics but statues in a single static pose are lame.
>>22689172I will, some day. Right now I'm planning to tackle more of the non-scale TSFs that I've wanted to do for a while
I tried out the Jumpwind pearl magenta for the body of my qubeley. I think it’s a little too dark. Should I just strip the paint and redo it with a candy coat of clear purple?
>>22689285OH fuck off Gatekeepedddddddddddddddddddd
Anyone ever use detail up parts like this on your builds?
>>22689313Oof, yea that's too dark. Of you're aiming for candy purple, yes clear purple is the best.This is a reference for pearl paint on multiple different base colour and coat: https://pm-paint.com/paint-comparison/creos/mr-crystal-color/xc04-amethyst-purple-surfacer/

>>22688902>browsing for paints and tools>"Ah I better have this color for that one kit in the future" >ended up with 14 new paints>no plans to buy said kitIt's an endless rabbit hole
>>22689353details are literally the antichrist
>>22689366Thanks bro. I wish I had found out about this guy sooner. These tests are gonna save me a lot of time. Are there any other good websites like this?
>>22689353I want kits to have less detail not more
>>22689211The thing I don't understand about GTMs is why they need to have lightspeed movement and inhuman levels of articulation if they're just going to stand there and spam ranged attacks at each other every fucking fight
>>22689369hit the gym
>>22689396No I'm to busy inhaling plastic dust

>>22689443Jesus that makes me feel a lot better about my "posing"
people love wing shit and yet there's no bootlegs for the p-bandai MGs and HGs, curiousand don't say wing is only western fans, there's a bunch of bootleg and third party shit Zero and original stuff supernova
>>22689443Every single one of these looks like they just shit their pants.
>>22689443so much soul
>>22688995I wanna plap you so bad
>>22688959Stick them in the freezer. If that doesn't work, use acetone applied with a brush into the cracks very conservatively.

>>22689687learning how to pose the kit could helppicking a simple kit can help, because you don't need to worry about all the spikes and accessories of something like your pic>>22689667;_;no bully
Does this guy have a good gunpla display?
>>22689687Look into proper nub removal, there's several options, I think sandpaper/sanding sticks/etc is best, but there's also glass files and just removing nubs with your hobby knife. After that start checking out panel lining and water decals. Then if you want more you can get into painting. And as the other anon said, learn to pose even if just a simple standing pose. Posing is one of the most fun things to do with a completed kit
>>22689641I'd destroy your anus
>Buy one of those Megalomaria kits>Jack-O pose right there on the boxOkay I guess I'll buy them all.
>new Moderoid announcements soonWhat are your hopes?
>>22689839More Getter and a Grendizer would be nice. And I know it's a never-ever but I pray for more mecha from Godannar and also an OVA Texas Mack.
>>22689211It's a bit pretentious but they're literally mecha counterculture. Guy who had a massive influence on mecha design got bored of both his own work, and other people's work becoming too similar to his, decides to make new designs that go against absolutely every trend of the time.
>>22689839Bismark, Acrobunch and Le Deus
>>22689462>destiny guni judge your posing negatively and no i didn't even look at them
Aside from MK-V and TR-5 Gaplant, are there any other suits that have this kind of long pointy face?
What's the most retarded decision that Bandai-san ever did?
>>22689910kyoukai senki probably
>>22689921Rent free.It wouldn't even make it into Bandai's top 10 dumbest decisions.
How does one pose the Kshatriya without having a wing deciding to fall off?

>Getting tired of all the Gundam shit>Want to build new mecha>Like SRW>Barely any models for it and they always get sold out
>>22689930it takes alot of time to make brand new tooling and its very expensive, bandai went ahead and made a bunch of kits that basically no one wants and are being sold at ultra discount.They straight up burned money with this franchise. its clear you are defending it because you liked it and have insanely shit taste
>>22689954Rent. Free.
>>22689955ok, name bandais top ten dumbest thingsgo
>>22689954What the problem with them? I like the designs. I certainly prefer them over 30mm
>>22689958Don't bother. /m/ hates anything new by default. Even when they're blatantly full of shit. Yeah bro they lost so much money they made more kits for the post-series ONAs to lose more money.
>>22689958the kits themselves are actually quite good, its just that shows influence the sales of their merchandise and the show flopped hard
>>22689961That may be true. But people seem to like Victory kits even though that show flopped too.
Anyone else prefer the GM Sniper Custom over the GM Sniper II? I think the old MSV designs look like they fit better with the OWY overall. I hate how this kit is unobtainable though.
>>22689910P Bandai
>>22689910Dropping satellite on MG line. However, I do really like that SDMG stuff, but when Sazabi/Nu?
>>22689910Killing re/100
>>22689983That was a based decision though
>>22689718Man, I do really like that white paint on this model.
>>22689995Why?
I just built the MG NT-1, what should my next UC MG be? I'm thinking about getting the Sniper II next.
>>22690008Unpopular designs in an unpopular scale with none of the actual upsides of a quality MG1/100 is only good for OYW 2.0 MGs, everything else was trash, so good riddance
>>22689910the kits were pretty good but going all in on AGE like they did was pretty sillywish it had done just well enough for them to put out those AGE 3 and FX MGs
>>22689972Yes. I hope reprint soon. It's not even that old.
>>22689972same, it's much cooler than II and I don't think the MG has ever been reprintedstill pissed about the HG too
God, I wish GSC would post textless versions of their boxarts.
>>22689972You're not alone, I always found the Sniper II too tacticool. Simple is best.
>>22689839Who would do Metroid?
>>22690125I mean, Custom is the OG tactical MS with all the different loadouts, beam pistols, the visor and all.For me the problem with Sniper II are the colors, looks much nicer in Titans scheme etc.Still not as cool as Sniper Custom tho. Or Sniper. Or Sniper III.
Gundnote is out in Japan
>>22690151fuck it looks so good why isn't it retail AAAAAAAH
>>22690148The Sniper Custom is just simpler and more charming, and I like how all of its additions look just stuck onto a basic GM.
>>22690152It looks really good. And it dreads me how i will have to spend 50 dollars for these. Sometimes i wonder why Bandai has to cuck themselves by enriching the scalpers instead of their own.
Does any kit come with multiples of that shield connection piece? I need a bunch of them and it's kinda tough to make by yourself since it's a latch of sorts for the shield rather than a peg.
>>22689462Is that a fucking safety flag on Kampfer's horn?
>>22690210the gelgoog's is much more egregious looking imo
>>22689462they look fine?
>>22688308>maybe ottawanot that anon, but i'm guessing it is in toronto. animextreme being a toronto store, as well as this anon >>22689369 claiming it is animenorth.

>Kaiser FireWell, it's about time.
This just got announced. Not a gunpla though
>transformable Getter kit
>>22689974i would say PBandai is a smart move from them because they can test the waters with kits.
>>22690285fuck kind of testing the waters is it when first a few kits of a line release in retail and later everything is p-bandai
>>22690275WHAT????
>>22690275this is gonna have so much partswapping lmao
>>22690288They already know how well it sells in retail and with P-bandai they can keep on releasing old shit. Imagine regularly releasing shit that doesn't sell.
>>22690285>release fresh new HG of a series as P Bandai>old ass 80s kit reprints from it get regular releasegreat water testingNow if you excuse me, I have to jizz over that Xardion plamo announcement that I can get from every fucking weeb online store.
>>22690297>New series>Model kits still aren't tested how well they would do in the market.>Release as P-bandai to see how much demand it would generate.How hard is it to understand?
All the announcements.
>>22690301>Dragonar>L-Gaim>Vifam>Dunbine>new series
>>22690307Be straight with me /m/, is Moderoid RX-78-2 possible?
>>22689910>>22689921>>22689930>>22689954I have no opinion on this series because I haven't seen it but I've received one kit from it for free from an online kit order before
>>22690327thankfully not
>>22689687Nub and Seamline removals are your thing to learn after that panel lining would 100% improve the look of your gunpla with little to no effort.
>>22690275This is NOT what I meant when I asked for more Getter. Looks like shit.
Any chance for old Ex-S MG getting reprinted and does it have any glaring, fundamental flaws as a kit? I like the look of it more than the new release
>>22690275Panel lines are a plague
>>22690327Why the fuck would you want that?
>>22690352what is blue skin supposed to signify in this system?
>>22690354
>>22689947Go with Musume or chinese knockoffs.
>>22689910So many I don't know where to begin. Maybe the kit of that one chick that nobody remembers and nobody even liked in the first place? Or releasing shit like MG Barbatos and then proceeding to not capitalize on making a bunch of variants. Or the F90 project.
>>22689958Dunno what others think about these, but they to me, they are bland and not really interesting.
>>22690337>getting reprintedThere is always a chance but you should be able to find it on ebay or other places. I actually ordered this by mistake and cancelled the order before getting the 1.5.
>>22690337Saw this one recently in one of the shops, but didn't had money or space to buy it.
>>22690354Eiffel 65
>>22690210>>22690227Fuck, I always forget about those little shits.
>>22690387I come from the universe in which that's part of the horn's design (specifically for that kit).
>>22690307neat, mospeda
>>22690337I had one close to its original release and it was fineIt was basically a paperweight with limited posability, but you know that going into it. I mean look at it. It's a brick.Transformed it two or three times, but basically you just find a neutral pose and learn to live with it that way.
>>22690307Not interested in most of these but the delphine is kinda hot
>>22690307Chamber, Mospeada, Danguard Ace, Sarg and Board Bisar for me
>>22690209there is only one shield connector piece you'll ever need
>>22690337Surprised that they doesn't make Ver Ka
>>22690297>>22690301>>22690310It only gets worse down the rabbit hole. Look at the Xabungle old kit reissues. THEY'RE PREMIUM BANDAI, FOR FUCK'S SAKE! SAME AS THE NEW OVERPRICED HG! Good thing the Moderoid has it on retail and it had options! Options to make Jiron's broken-wing variant.
>>22690151It looks so good. The Gundam 00 design was one of the best things to happen to Gundam.
>>22690455It kind of looks like it has a tard helmet.
>>22690458Yeah, I can't remember what it resembles exactly but I feel like I've seen this type of head piece somewhere.
>>22690446AND it's in-scale with the R3 Gallia on top of that.
beeg
>>22690274kit when, cmon hoyo im sure theres a bunch of chink companies willing to collab to make a SAM+Firefly musume kit
speaking of musume where the FUCK is that puru kit preorder bandai
how long do you have to let primer sit before painting on top of itnormally i prime at night and paint in the morning but i ended up priming this morning and am getting antsy waiting to paint
>>22690527if it's lacquer you're good after like 10-30 minutes depending on ambient temperature/humidity/airflow.with waterbased paint i'd wait a good 4 hours to be safe (even more if it's very humid where you are, or in winter) but in summer when it's hot and you have the fans or ac on you probably don't need that long.never worked with alcohol acrylics
>>22690528oh ok that sounds good then, it is lacquer based. ty
>you bought a recast of a kit 20 years out of print from a dead company? you are literally worse than hitler
>>22690562i am tempted to start using twitter just to make 'em seethe about bootlegs
>>22690562Japs are notorious corpo slaves
>>22690307finally, the OG Getter 1, like goddamn why is it so hard for companies to make a kit of it? I know Bandai had the old ass kit of the TV anime Getter 1 but that hasn't been reprinted in probably a decade or more.
>>22690581>finally, the OG Getter 1I think you mean some horrible bastardization of it.
>>22690585yeah I just noticed now as I looked into it and saw the gimmick. God fucking damn it, I guess I'm gonna go look for that old ass Getter 1 kit instead
>>22690307Is that fucking Volkein?! Finally
>>22690562East Asians think that all law is created equal and jaywalkers and bootleggers are more or less about the same scum level as murderers and rapists.
where's the FUCKING PURU 2 FRS PREORDER? everything showed off during that recent event already is up for preorders except this loli bitch. I need her ASAP to hotglue and to display next to my red Qubeley
>>22690608>what is psycho Mk-II>what is Hizack customchill
>>22690608isn't it snapfit why would you need to glue it?
>>22690618teehee~
>>22690307Holy shit its gorg
>>22690307meh, mostly don't care. another gun x sowrd kit, getter, new mazinger, and gunbuster are cool tho.
>>22690528>never worked with alcohol acrylicsDries very fast, give it an hour before painting another color over it if you wanna be sure.
>>22690522I'd imagine they'd want to atleast come out with the design in game first
>>22690285P Bandai makes sense for limited run stuff but they seem to just throw whatever up there
>>22690640bandai has no idea what they're doing. pbandai is essentially a get out of jail free card for them to release just about whatever the hell they want and they refuse to.
there are so many matched releases where they inexplicably released the less popular design as retail while the more popular one is p-bandaiI can only assume p-bandai is therefore more profitable to them due to cutting out middlemen and any other explanations about availability and production costs are just excuses.
>>22686887>>22687874All the parts for the Turn Red are finished and the frame is done. I just need to assemble the weapons and armor, then it's all done.
>>22690658
>>22690660I want to see the big swords
turn a > turn red
>>22690684i just built the turn a hg kit and goddamn if it isn't shitty. the pauldrons seriously hamper the range of movement of the arms and make posing difficult, made worse by the face that the hands barely want to hold the rifle. i love the design of the turn a, probably my favourite gundam design, but the hg just does not do it justice. i really hope the mg is better.
My Burglarydog is gonna be here in a couple days, I'm very excited. Triple sunglasses emoji.
>>22690684 turn delta >
who the hell designed HG Xeku Eins hands, the inner palm piece is bizarre
>>22690718Katoki-sama
>>22690455Ebikawa is indeed the best thing to happen to Gundam.
>>22690710Its leg is rather disappointing. The ball joint is very loose and floppy. If you want to customize or repaint it, I suggest you to paint the joints while at it.
After getting changhands and a raser glass file it takes me like an hour to snapshit a hg
>>22690741Depends on the kit's complexity. It took me 5 hours to snapbuild HG Freedom with all tools. Meanwhile G-Witch kits took me like, 30 minutes.
>>22690737Is it any different than the regular HG? I've built and painted 5 of those and haven't had any issues even without painted joints, do you mean where the thigh attaches onto the waist?
>>22690735what was Kat thinking??? B16 in the hand is only loosely held in B6, not to mention the movable finger is cute but provides precisely zero benefits while being very delicate. Weapons from other kits would need to be modified anyway because it's so fucking fat.
>>22690752No the waist part is fine. However, the entire thigh + shin + foot part is bad. They are so floppy. I will modify this once my ordered paint arrived. Also, the scope keeps falling off, so repaint that, too.
>>22690761He doesn't design the modelkit's engineering, anon. That's Bandai's responsibility.
>>22690771>>22690735you two duke it out
I don't understand, why can't they fully commit to a RE/100 or an MG.
>>22690777You mean FM?
>>22690777It is cheaper to make action figures. Unlike modelkits where you waste time and resources into making subpar action figures, with all of that complex engineering. From a business perspective, toys is the safer route.
>>22690782action figures are more expensive though
>>22690780Yeah that, wasn't FM Aeriel really popular?
>>22690782literally other way around, model kits are the cheap option
>>22690782Action figures are more labor to produceLiterally paying for more labor or machining for someone at the factory or more machines to put the parts together and maybe paint too.
>>22690788Except MG, RG, etc are expensive with alot of resources put in. Meanwhile with toys, you don't have to bother with engineering and shit. Just print solid plastic block, slap some joints on it. Done.
Has anyone here built the chief continent zaroff? if yes then how was the build and where is it available from?
>>22690798oh okay you're stupid
if action figures are cheaper to make why do they cost more to buy
>>22690817d-did you mean to post that anon?
I am disgusted.
>>22690817God fucking damn it, anon.
>>22690821uh wrong pic just forget it
>>22690817>>22690831I am conflicted. On one hand, I ship them. On the other hand fat fetish is the only thing worse than feet fetish and Inside Out was kinda ass.
>>22690817Majority of modern toys manufacturers use automated production now. Human are there only for the quality control and probably painting. The expensive part comes from the pre painted part + you don't have to assemble it.
>>22690817what the fuck is this
>>22690837dumbass
>>22690307Fucking XARDION? Absolutely based. All you zoomer bucks in this thread are now obvious to me, because no one else remembers a small time 1992 SNES platforms with RPG elements here, clearly.
>>22690777What’s more likely is a FM Lfrith or a FM Calibarn if you’re lucky.
>>22689211I wanna try a FSS kit, any recommendations for a first pick? Any I should avoid?
>>22690847ourtreasure junone
>>22690843It's going to be Calibarn for sure.
>>22690849what's the MSRP for that?
>>22690851¥7800
>>22690854ok nevermind not interested anymore
>>22690839Toys are not masterpieces, anon. Majority of them were made by machines nowadays.
when magnet too weak can add more magnet to magnet stronger and magneter??
>>22690855That's like 50 dollars, anon. Pretty affordable for an action figure.
>>22690861ot junone is fixed pose
>>22690861i can buy 4 HGs for that
>>22690862Oh i thought you were asking about Metal Robot Lfrith UR. But again, it is not an expensive price for a modelkit ( unless you are a child with no income then yeah, it is rather pricey ).
>>22690865Or 1 RG. Don't tell me you don't have a spare 50 dollars.
>>22690868not in this economy and this country
id take the fss kit over 4 boring SlopGrade guntard kits any day
New Xardion kit for Morikifags out there.
>>22690872>>22690873>We have the Xi at home
>>22690875Same designer
>Contemplating about getting an Exia Avalanche and Xan Raiser vs all of the HG's in the Mercury line.Damn it all.
>>22690879Nakatani?
>>22690860No get megneter magnet make big
>>22690883many small magnt easy fit, big magnutum hard fitunlike your mother
>>22690882Moriki, he designed the original version for the novel. Nakatani and Katoki designed the movie version.
>>22690875Too bad the Xi always looked like shit and this looked kino.
>>22690849Don't do this, OT Junone has fitment issues out the ass, you will have to level up your putty skills to make that thing look good.
>>22690905>fitment issues out the ass,same as any other plastic fss kit then
>>22690151Can't wait for the MA expansion pack.
>>22690915gundam base exclusive
>>22690912The hip section of my Junone is like 30% putty.
>>22690915somehow, retail
>>22690918fucking hell, why would anyone buy that crap? just buy a competently made kit of a good design, like Aerial
>>22690923stockholm syndrome and contrarianism
>>22690923enjoyment of the hobby and good taste
Should I be thinning mr finishing surfacer 1500 with regular mr color thinner or leveling thinner?
>>22690869Canadian?
>>22690974also red and white but wrong continent sadly
>>22690981Pre-Canadian?
>>22690983Probably Indonesian
>>22690983polish ;_;
>>22690990Dystopia Poland memes are accurate, it seems.
>>22690990you poor motherfucker
what are some good, easy to clean paints i can use to hand brush over bigger areas like the armpits on the byarlant?

Any ideas on some 1/144 scale military vehicles that would not look out of place with gundams?
>>22691055I think Revel made some 144 planes and boats
>>22691063Yeah but most of them look weird with the rest of the gundam vehicles and MS so I was wondering if anyone knew some real world vehicles that fit the aesthetic.
>>22691067I don't think there's a lot of options for scifi shit unless you wanna go dig up some wargaming minis and not care about the scale
>>22691069Yeah thats what I found as well, I'm going to try out old matchbox sci-fi stuff but I think it will be too big
>>22691067Well, stuff like this should be fine for a port diorama or something. You can also take their shuttle with booster and recreate the arctic base scene from 0080 or that one scene in Zeta
>>22691082That does look pretty cool, and I really like the Shuttle idea thanks anon,
would you snap the player avatar from a random snes platformer?
>>22691025mr hobby aqueous
>>22690872>>22690873>>22691095What's next, Gaia Gear?
>>22691095no jesus christ dont you have any respectgod i hate snapshitters
>>22687775lacquer topcoat can cause gundam markers to bleed if you do a wet coat right from the beginning, so start with some lighter coats first and build it up
>>22691044have they announced an actual bravern kit yet? the most i can find is one coming to the us in an entire year from now>>22691025the ass thruster always reminds me of those inhaler masks things lol
>>22687889learn how to do home recasts and recast the clear parts yourself
>>22688783god i love glossy paintjobs
>>22686883which of these general links has nipper recommends?
>>22691113Tamiya double blade. God hand single blade. Dispiae single blade. Everything else is meh to trash.
>>22691118thanks brev
>>22691126There's another brand I'm forgetting, if I remember I'll post it for you. Some other chink brand larping as American that sells a single blade nipper that should be fine. Also FYI that Tamiya I mentioned is not very good for cleaning nubs.
Has anyone found a connector for the RG FA Unicorn shields that can create this?
Guess the next MGEX, anon.
>>22691145I'm really surprised they haven't done any of the Unicorn variants yet.
>>22691145gundam aerial
>>22691145Rx-78-2 based on the RG 2.0. Just like how the 3.0 and the RG 1.0 were based off the life sized statue
>>22691151MGEX Banshee when?
>>22691145HiRm Astray but you build the inner frame now too.
>>22688948>Where did "Gunpla is freedom" originally comes fromit came from iori's hot mom's husband https://streamable.com/dlexir
>>22691099I wish
>>22691282Too bad the novels have been out-of-print since the 1990s.
>>22690761Try HGUC Barzam hands as a replacement.
>>22691460kys gaikotsu stop being a weird agp freak and forcing everyone to take part in your exhibitionist crossdressing fetish
>>22691474Was Gaikotsu drag too? I saw their manicure hand and fishnet jacket. At least Kakalot keeps his beard and Earthling uniform in UC(ivory gakuran).
>>22691145going all in
>>22691482yeah some of his videos show him wearing the cheapest fucking shein clothing ever, it's fucking revolting
>>22691499More like MechaOkama (okama stands for "drag" in Japanese slang) then.
>>22691294Who owns Gaia Gear? Tomino?
>>22691521>Gaia Gear is a series of novels created and written by Yoshiyuki Tominoliterally two seconds of googlingit would've taken you less time to look it up than to type that post
>>22691493What would they improve?
>>22691507Is this common with gunpla yters? I'm new to all this and I swear every video I try to watch about this hobby ends up starring some flaming homosexual with painted nails or something equally faggy.
>>22691726But Kakalot wears Earthling uniform in UC and has beard, so nope.
>>22691581Extreme articulation. It will essentially be the HiRM but with an inner frame that they can make in-house.
>>22691282Tomino would Moderoid it just to spite Bandai.
>>22691145Tbh, I just want SDMG Nu or Sazabi instead.
>>22691988I want MG 2.0 Nu and Sazabi personally, with modern engineering but anime accurate styling.
>>22690847All of the actually good looking kits are rare and expensive collector's pieces from the 90s, don't bother.
>>22691732To be fair, he's Belgium
