This can concepts such as:>Electronic Warfare And Communications & Airborne Early Warning And Control>Minelayers and long-range weaponry spotters>Scouting and Surveillance>Commanding roles>Sub-flight units to aid MS (Base Jabbers)>Field Repairs & SupplyBasically any kind of combat role that isn't just "Robot made to shoot/punch another robot"Submit your entries to gunplaplamo@gmail.com , include at least 5 finished pics and any WIP pics you took while working on your entry, as well as a brief description of your build.START: 4/24/24END: 7/31/24
Post what you're working on!
Any thoughts on hg Powered GM and GM Type C? Any other suits that use these molds? I understand GM Custom only shares a little bit.
Not a single build of mine has made the OP this year ;_;
>>22696611so post it?
>>22696596Clearance Diver GM for the group build is at the point that I feel comfortable posting my first build photo, I do need to make the right shoulder joint sit deeper (I just put the arm on temporarily to see how the scale looks overall). I am still tossing up whether I want to just do scuba tank backpack or put a torpedo launcher/minelayer backpack instead.
What's in your opinion the underappreciated kits?
>no MG zaku ii fzwhy haven't they done this, it would be an easy way to make money
>>22696651They did the Kai in RE/100, despite never fucking reprinting those kits Bandai corporate just go "well we already did that one in 1/100" and then go off to make 30 more recolours of the Unicorn or some shit.
>HLJ listed MG Perfect Gundam discontinued Well that's fucking bullshit. Should they do HG or MG 2.0(or Ver.Ka)?
>>22696663HLJ does that to basically everything they're not in the process of getting now or haven't gotten recently. IIRC even FM Aerial was/is listed like that when it's obviously not.Don't stress it, Bandai has discontinued only literal handful of kits in 45 years and MG Perfect Gundam ain't one of them. That being said, it hasn't been reprinted in a loooong time and there's really no predicting when it will be.
>>22696656reeeeeee
>>22696602Some of the best HG GMs, they're solid as fuck with really good articulation and they still hold up to this day in my opinion. The GM Striker also shares the mold to some extent, and it's another good kit. I have like 5 of the Type C since it's just that good.I'm also using the Type C for my current group build, and I used it as the base for my Desert GM. Never had a bad experience with this kit, and the joints are really easy to modify in a way where you can just insert it into the limbs without any issues for easy seam lining and painting.>>22696628Looking good, GM bro.
>>22696656bandai is complete schizo troll. No logic or reason behind any of their decisions. Put out polls asking what people want and then ignore the winning vote. dump tons of money into stupid weird projects or are way late to the party with their FAG equivalent.
>>22696673Thanks fellow GM bro, I'm still not sure about the backpack plans but we'll get there. Unfortunately the visor plastic fogged when I was gluing the head halves together, so I will probably do a full spray over of the visor and camera (might as well recolour it while I'm at it). >>22696672Yeah it fucking sucks, RE/100 was a fun line but the kits from it are now in a hellish purgatory.
>>22696673thanks for the info, love you
>>22696596Right now its Kamen Rider W. I'm planning to candy coat the whole thing, with the less shiny parts like green having a matte topcoat. I fucked up assembly by gluing the feet while seam welding so I hope that Gaianotes chrome can make it look pretty at least.
>>22696675>Scuba tank or torpedo launcher/minelayerThe fun option would be finding a way to do both. Maybe something like pic related Ball Minelayer, have the scuba tank backpack with "wings" attached for the mines/torpedos. Just an idea.>>22696682Love you bro
>>22696690My minelayer plan involves the ballden missile pods, I was considering having a horizontal air tank (or twin tank) below it near the waist. Considering that the GM currently has no "real weapons" (just a mech knife and maybe a drill with some explosive charges) I feel like the mine or torpedo rack would add some "cool features" to be advertised on the instruction booklet.
>>22696690>yo dawg i heard you like balls
>>22696694That sounds like a cool idea. Mine/torpedo rack would definitely give it some personality and an interesting silhouette so it doesn't risk looking too bland. Horizontal air tank(s) would add to the silhouette as well.Not sure if it's helpful, but pic related also exists if you're in need of more "marine" parts in the form of the Portnova marine type and the Builder Parts MS Marine 01.
>>22696715I'm aware, but as a lover of both marine mechs and GMs I don't want to go too far into making it a hyper optimised marine mech. My internal fluff (will do a write up when I finish the model) is that this was a OYW small scale modification to some GMs that were too damaged to return to full service but still functional. It isn't meant to be shit like the Sloep was, but it is focused on Clearance Diver type activities like sabotage and other covert tasks over direct combat. The major changes are swapping out the foot thrusters for waterjets, the different backpack setup (the generators are downtuned, as opposed to most marine mechs that have uptuned generators due to easier cooling) and it is less focused on fighting in the water and more focused on making sure that critical piece of underwater infrastructure (like you know, communication cables, offshore mining facility foundations, "safe" harbours) just suddenly stop working. So less of an ambush predator like an Acguy or Gogg, and more like a spooky frogman putting cutter charges on your pipeline.
>>22696724That's fair. I really dig the backstory, looking forward to seeing more of your build and how it'll showcase that lore.
>>22696742Thank you. I am scared I won't make the finish (largely due to the need for appropriate weather when painting) but I will at least finish the build in time, and hopefully finish the whole thing. If not I will paint it when weather improves, even if the group build is done.
>>22696746>need for appropriate weather when paintinghuh? you live in some 90% humidity SEA shithole or something?
>>22696750Nta but for the past two weeks where I'm at in Canada it's been 80-90% humility, it's fucked
>>22696769>where I'm at in Canada it's been 80-90% humilitySounds like normal conditions for Canada desu
>>22696750Close, I'm an Aussie and we are getting wrecked by cold fronts at the moment. It isn't so much that every day is bad, it is more that for a while every free evening I have had is bad.
>>22696773It's normally pretty bad but its been especially so this past couple weeks. I hate this place, fucking sub-arctic winters and SEA rainforest summers.
Any upcoming announcements, releases or events to keep one's eye on?
>>22696868the pbandai aura battler dunbine ships in july so im excited for that to get delivered
Anyone have the Zeta 3B? Is it a hand grenade like the original MG of the Zeta is?
>>22696887huhit isn't based on the original zeta MG 1.0it's based on the 2.0neither of which were hand grenades
>>22696674Nah, I think this is unfair. It only appears that way to us because we have no knowledge of the decision making process or the inner workings of their company, we just see the finished product. They are a billion dollar company, I’m sure they do all kinds of market research beyond just shitty polls about the profitability of potential releases. Keep in mind the majority of people who are buying this stuff are just stupid normies who don’t get into the hobby beyond the surface level. These kinds of people aren’t going to be buying a mg g-self, they’ve never even heard of g-reco or know that its tomino’s swan song. They’ll just pick up a couple witch hgs because they heard about it on twitter and they’re easy to make with toenail clippers.
>>22696892Am I misremembering it? Or was it the RG Zeta that was the flimsy version. Well good to know this kit is based on the 2.0.
>gwitch was supposed to be a turbo success>only 1 FM kit, and most post S2 releases have been pbandai>kyo senki>2 FM kits, and all post OVA releases have been retail>Sneed >Make an extremely lazy """"recolour""" of the base Force impulse as retail>Keep the Sword impulse behind pbandai hell for both HGUC and RG, despite it being one of hte most popular forms of the impulse with a retail MG that sees frequent reissues>bandai makes sane decissionslol
>>22696909>It only appears that way to us because we have no knowledge of the decision making processYou're just repeating what I'm saying but trying to spin it in some stupid way as if it's a positive aspect. >I'm sure they do all kinds of market researchEvery success that bandai has ever had they stumbled their way into. They're one of the slowest companies in existence to respond to success. For fuck's sake they have their own pre-order system in which they're capable of shipping world wide and they still have no clue what they're doing.
>>22696913They are probably making molds for FM kits on the mercury line or they are just that retarded and want to remove the MG line by not releasing anything other than rehashes of old kits so that the interest dies out and then they go all in on the FM line.
>>22696913I'm honestly surprised Destiny Spec II + Zeus Silhouette is a retail release. I know it's part of the lead trio but with Bandai's release model you never really know what to expect.
>>22696769>>22696773>80-90% humility>humilityWhat did someone forget to say "soarry" in the last hour or something?
How long does it usually take for PBandai kits to be available on US PB after getting initially released on Jp PB?
>>22696933About 5 minutes
>>22696933Could be a month, could be a year, could be never. Sometimes US Pban seems like the leftovers from JP because it sells out instantly. Other times stays up forever. No rhyme or reason. Allegedly The O was on Pbandai in Japan but we didn't get it for whatever reason? And also recently the HG Ne Zeongs finally appeared on US pbandai - which were originally Japan exclusive.
>>22696596Finished painting one of my Balls. Still figuring out a stand for the Turn Red.
>poorfags complaining about p-Bandai again Bruh stop this retarded shit. You don’t even pay that much more getting it on surugaya with free shipping and no taxes. Come on now.
The Chinese is making the Sturm Und Drang add-on for the RG Epyon.
>>22696959Is this a bot?
>>22696962No dude this is just retarded. What do you hope to accomplish by complaining? It’s not like a Bandai executive is gonna read this and make everything retail. All you’re doing is just shitting up the thread.
>>22696962hopefully
>Don't ask questions just consoom the pbandai bro
>>22696960Nice!
If you weren’t a poorfag you could go to the Bandai shareholders meetings and ask your questions there instead of to random autists living in their mom’s basement who literally can’t afford the $5 p-bandai tax
Finally, I have space to paint shit. First up a GM.
imagine shilling a billion dollar company whos only interestered in fucking you over, for free
>>22696977Very cool sigma male Andrew Tate Instagram grifter brainrot, buddy. Post bmi.
>>22696981You can leave /v/, but the /v/ will follow you wherever you go.
>>22696960Crab Vibes 2: Epyon Boogaloo
MG The-O on Surugaya right now for 300 dollars if anyone here isn't a poorfag.
>>22697020wake me up when it's for a 6th of that
>>22697032How come the Luxembourg guy is the only one here with a MG The-O?
>>22697035probs a sugar daddy
>>22697035Because it's only noteworthy because it's so expensive and big for an otherwise lackluster MG.
>>22696913I'm actually mad about no new 1/100 witch kits, the MS designs were the best thing about the show. Where is my 1/100 lfrith, aerial rebuild, calibarn, pharact, darilblade, or zoworts?
>>226970591/100 isn't profitable now prease understandu
>>22697020The irony of your post is that poorfags are the ones who pay more for the same or less and then brag about it. No, I'm not going to pay 4x MSRP for the O.
>>22697071spoken like a real poortranny lmao
>>22697071Poorfag cope
>>22696913>>22697059the point of gwitch was to take their heads and put them on more appropriate bodies!
>>22696959Certain shitholes still have to pay more for customs and the surugay markup is still a lot compared to your mutts and your pbandai store. A 20 dollar pbandai HG is like 3-4 times the amount elsewhere even with free shipping. I will never stop this fight against you privileged fags, I wont be gaslighted or mislead, this is an injustice and I will continue to whine and complain about pbandai not seeing my shithole as worthy enough.
>>22697081The HG Psycho Doga was like 55 dollars. Still "expensive"
>G-Line Light Armor confirmedP-Bandai of course
>>22696611Post them then.
>>22696960Isn't this equipment supposed to be for the EW version of the Epyon?
ummmm... how important is the spring thingy in nippers?
>>22697099Take it out and find out.
>>22697084Well, now I'll wait a few months before crying for more g-line variants
>>22696945Goddamn, good thing I'm a wage slave so I can afford to just pay extra for some Jap scalper to get me PB kits rather than wait for whatever the hell US PB is doing. >>22697084>First the Nightseeker II>Now a new G-LineFeddie bros are eating good lately. Hope we get all the variants.
Are these chink models recasts or do they have different engineering? I can't tell the difference between pic rel and the Bandai MG from the photos.
>>22697067>Limited release>Jacked up price>P Bandai preorder>Get scalped to fuck all.Being an MG enjoyer is pain.
I kneel
I went on Facebook marketplace to see if I can get some model kits for cheap out of someone’s backlog… are these people retarded? All of these are like 1.5-2x more expensive than retail from an actual store. One of them is a daban that’s twice as expensive as retail price on gundammodelcenter. Some of them are already built or partially built and still more expensive than retail. Who buys this shit?
>>22697207I used to get tons of good deals on Facebook marketplace. Covid changed it, after everyone got stuck at home, every idiot got it in their head that all it takes to be a "model kit store" is to buy a shit ton of model kits then try to sell them for prices that only retards would buy. The worst part is, there actually are retards that buy from them which just empowered them even more. I used to get cheap built kits that I'd fix up and use for kitbash fodder for like $5 per kit, now we've got people selling nubbed up built kits for above retail, and unopened kits for scalper prices even though they're not even worth scalping.
you all ready for MG Cluster Gundam?Also Beguir Bunny Ear Beu
>finished kit>can't decide on which kit to start nextfug :DDDD
I'm sure you get bothered by this plenty, but none of the threads within the last couple days have brought this up so I guess I'll just be the current nuisance.Moving to another town with finished models. I'm looking around on Google and finding a lot of different suggestions but pillow stuffing and cuttable foam seem to pop up the most, as well as one about manila bubble-lined envelopes. I still have the boxes of my finished models, so I reckon I can use those, set down a layer of stuffing/foam, and then add more with an opening for the model, probably partially disassembled.But if there are better ways to do it or other input then I'm open to it.
>>22697136Likely the same. Check a review of the 3rd part kit and see if the main runners and parts are the same as Bandai’s. Some companies like Daban denote their 66xx series as pure Bandai copies while 88xx is inspired, maybe a few different things
>>22697241Post list I will decide for you
>>22697277
>>22697280MG Hyaku Shiki 2.0. Very nice kit
anyone have good recommendations for good white paint for air spray cans?
>>22697281Sounds good. I already got waterslide decals for it from super indoors men pro. What kind of topcoat do I put over the gold to seal the decals? And for the blue part should I just do a matte finish?
>>22697288Only ever used tamiya pure white as spray can paint, it was fine>>22697292If you're not painting, gloss for the gold, matte for the rest

>>22697212I at least like the look of this thing compared to the shitty F90.>The best F90 is still nowhere near accurate to the line art and bandai is proud of this
>>22697391I kinda like it but the stupid decal needs to go.
>>22697398No.
>>22697413YES.
>>22697391I love how colorful the suits from that era are, so many red and yellow details
I only build high grades, how do Moderoid kits compare? Real tempted to preorder the Liber Legis.
>>22697425I only build Bandai so I don’t know.
the neptune is coming along well! need to do another coat on the calf armour since it looks uneven, but i think the colour is really quite nice and complements the copper inner frame well. i'll do the panel lining and then a matte coat for the armour, i'm interested in seeing how that looks for a bit more contrast, to make sure it's not overdoing it
AoZ SWEEP
New P-Bandai drop tomorrow
>>22697531what the hell
>>22697531Aint no way thats true.
>>22697531>Its legitWhat the fuck? They dropped the whole MG for the hazel line? Holy fuck and with an MG GM sniper? HOLY SHIT MG CHADS WE ARE SO BACK.
>>22697531I hate you amerimutts so much
>>22697531>that decal setYES
>>22697531Alright bros what are we planning to pick up tomorrow? Can't believe they dumped like the entire MG Hazel line on us like this goddamn.
>MG Line is dead>Pbandai suddenly dropping a nuke.Are we entering the MG golden age? Like holy shit.
>>22697603these are all reprints
>>22697601the night seeker looks niceall of the tr-1s look pretty lame honestly
>>22697605Which is really surprising to happen since its the Hazel kits. Is the whole line really that popular?
>>22697601Might have to pick up the Owsla, that bulky armor is sick
>MGcels so starved for new releases they are creaming their pants over some reprints of 2017 releases
>>22697609Finally I can get one of this.
>>22697610Let us have this fleeting happiness. Its all been HG releases non stop.
>>22697609oh shit actually that does look great>$83ehhhh fugg that's a lot of money
>>22697610I'm just glad I don't have to scratchbuild the night seeker II
I remember a few years go that there was this page called Gunstar or something where people posted their customs and stuff. Does that still exist?
>>22697621https://gumpla.jp/
>>22697625That's the one, thank you anon.
>>22697531>>22697601>>22697609Might get the Owsla with the Shield Booster Expansion but $110 for all of that is pricey as hell.
I don't reward laziness by buying kits that don't have shows.
>>22697634>no fss kitsyou're missing out
>>22697636
>>22697636I mean it has two movies...
>>226976391 movie. The second you think of is only tangentially related.
>>22697639>>22697638since when is a movie a showand very few mortar heads even appear in it
>>22697601Advanced Hazel + 2 Hrududus.I NEED the Hazel-Rah Second Form on my shelf, no matter the cost.
>>22697644since google said so you fucking esl retard>and very few mortar heads even appear in itjust admit you were wrong and move on.
It's called Advance of Zeta because it advances Zeta's kino into slop.
>>22697646>eslthe word "show" being used in that sense is the verb "to show" as in "I am showing a movie". that does not make a movie the same thing as the noun "show". colloquially, a "show" refers to a series of episodes, such as a tv show. a moving showing on a tv is never referred to as a tv show, despite also being shown on tv.
>>22697651He's probably from the midwest or some weird southern state where they unironically refer to movies as 'the show' and soda as 'pop'
>>22697634What a retarded principle to operate by. Imagine owning no kits from Crossbone, Beltorchika's Children, Astray or any video game ever.
if someone said they're making a new Turn A show, you wouldn't think they meant a Turn A movie, you would think they meant a Turn A series.>>22697654i would kill myself if i lived near people like that, and I've never heard anyone talk like that in the part of the southern US i live in
>>22697651how do you think we started calling it "show", genius? your fat ass has never gone on a "run" or a "walk"? i bet you would rather me call it a kino too
>>22697662yea but the way language evolved is such that "show" has come to refer to episodic productions rather than movies. maybe if we were living a century ago you could argue this, but there has been a clear distinction between a "show" and a movie in the vernacular for decades now to the point that if you say you're going to see a movie at the theatre you would say you're going to see a showing of that movie in order to differentiate it from the noun show that would refer to a series of the same name, in order to remove ambiguity
Can the MG Thunderbolt be posed with all is gear and no stand or is too heavy for that?
>>22697662plus by this logic any tv series might be called a movie as well, because "movie" comes from the fact that the images appear to be moving, and isn't inherently related to "movies" in particular
>>22697665It holds up just fine
>>22697531Wasn't there an anon a few threads ago bitching about how these haven't been reprinted in a while? Hope he's happy
>>22697531Woundwart doko
>>22697665Its fine, but beware of it becoming loose over time.
Will they ever make a mg woundwart?
>>226976802 weeks.
>>22697634TVslop designs are typically far more lazy
REEEEEEEE WHY DID THEY PUT SO MANY NUBS ON THE INSIDE OF CONCAVE SURFACES?!?!MY GLASS FILE DOESNT FIT
>>22697773Get a smaller file or sand sponges.
>>22697784I have sponges that I used to remove the nubs on the concaves of the arms. It’s just annoying because the glass file goes so fast I just breeze through the nub in like 2 seconds.
>>22697774This seems a little excessive
>>22697788I normally use this for those kinds of nubs.
>>22697773lmao oversanding mongoloid meme glass file is a technique dead end for snapshitters only
>>22697774Its just random shit on each shelf. At least have a theme to it or have them pose in cool ways.
>>22697804His theme is that he likes consooming product
>>22696596Was thinking that I may sacrifice one of my shiranui seconds for decorating the base. I'll extend the base out to be wider and will likely break down the shiranui into smaller segments than in the VN. I didn't really have any plans for this kit so it works out.
>>22697774I hate snapshitters so much it's unreal
>>22697531How does the Hazel Early Type Quel Config compare to the MG Quel? Is it the same kit with additional parts?
how do we feel about robotman who isnt as big?
How do we feel about polycapless technology? Is it for better or for worse?
Love watching autists have meltdowns whenever snapkino is posted.
It makes me smile knowing that the MG Mk-V was slated to be a retail release but they moved it to P-Bandai just to BTFO poorfags
Has anyone made their own white waterslide decals? Best I can find is getting printers that can print white ink/catridges, but they're either rare or expensive.
I'm awe at the size of this lad
>>22697802What's stopping you from painting over afterwards? It's just another tool thats nice to have sometimes.
>>22697876Go to fedex and print your decals on their printer
>>22697877Psycho 2 soon
>>22697877One day I want to set up a diorama with the psycho and the mk2. Is the HG psycho still printed?
>>22697609>>22697531Why is the Hazel Owsla so expensive? It's competing with a bunch of really good kits like the Nu Ver. Ka and Sinanjus at that price point. Hell, you could get a Sazabi Ver. Ka if you spent just a bit more.
>>22697425I've built a Shin Getter, and currently working on a Dragon. They're pretty good so far.
>>22697891P-Bandai has been and will always continue to be a mistake
>>22697425They vary, I think Goodsmile gets different makers working on them. Moderoid Xabungle was nice.
anyone have good examples of ewac custom builds? looking for baselines for making my own
>>22696596Thought I finished my Moderoid Muramasa, but looking at it again I really hate how the waterslides on the shoulders came out. This is my first Moderoid, and the kit itself was great but all the decals were really hard to work with. I think I'm going to peel the shoulder ones off and hand paint the red accents.
>>22697906Jesus christ those decals all looks like shit. I didnt build mines yet but i guess i wont be using my sheet.
>>22697912The white ones for the banners are fine, but any of the ones with transparency are garbage. They're way too thick and mark softer only makes them worse.
>>22697884You just missed the Hobby Lobby restock last month.
>>22697931FUCK. Guess it might be a while then.Maybe for the better, though. Probably better to keep learning before taking on a project like that. Haven't even painted a kit yet.
>>22697891AoZ designers get royalties and AoZ kits sell very well. It's why Dengeki keeps the series going, why they are so much more expensive than kits on the same grade, and why they are all P-Bandai.
Snapchads we /smg/ now!
is there any other comparable swords to v-thor's odachi? I've looked around gundams but I havent found a real match
>>22697943the snap cars honestly suck
>>22697948i built a Skyline R34, it looks good when painted as if it was a proper model kit, but the undercarriage is nonexistent and the axel is too flimsy. i hope they fix it on the new 1:24 ones.
>>22697951post it and be judged
>>22697951>the undercarriage is nonexistentI know model building is inherently an autistic ass hobby but does anyone actually care about that on a car
>>22697963what the fuck is this question?
>>22697212>>22697391I hope Bandai was able to rework the thing and allow backpack attachments despite having a core fighter. The original Cluster Gundam had a technically limited amount of loadouts due to that. But ever since they made the N-Type which was a backpack extension maybe they could do the same here.
>>22697965Does anyone give a fuck about what the underside of a car looks like? It's very simple.
>>22697968Yeah. I also care about mechs inner frame. It feels good to know it looks good underneath
>>22697969yeah, and?
>>22697972
>>22697973kek. i'm not that anon btw. i answered on behalf of him because i've seen this exact chain of replies played out in this thread before
>>22697982>i've seen this exact chain of replies played out in this thread beforeYou can say that about any discussion here that doesn't involve new announcements or someone's wips
How do I open the box?
>>22697642>is only tangentially relatedStill part of the story though
>>22697986like so
>>22697986You hold the top and shake it really hard until all the bags of runners go flying everywhere.
>>22697618And that's before taxes and shipping. Though there was a free shipping coupon but I lost the link.
>>22697594>GOD IT'S SO UGLY>I WONDER WHYI must cop this decal set.
>>22698022He may have to remove the plastic binding first
wow this looks like absolute shit, thank god you get the original sleeves
>>22698022infinity million dollar interview will drive you insane>>22698009YEAH THIS IS AN ANTIMATTER CANNON, WILL YOU BE RESPONDING?
RX-78 + Psychoframe?
>>22698048probably a solar panel for ESG purposes.
Snapfag here. Do I use superglue for small parts to keep them from falling off, is good enough or do I use Mr Cement ?
>>22698038yeah not really a fan of color seperating the trims. those gaps are unsightly to look at. should have let the reverse washing filter the plebs from owning the kit.
>>22698057Glue is fine.
>>22698057>>22698071cement lets you work longer since it takes a while to dry out. super glue dries instantly, so you better be quick on it.
>>22698057if the small part is purely cosmetic you can even use acrylic paint as a weak non-destructive glue.
Man they're so ugly
>>22698090>All the time and effort wasted making these fucking abominations They need to stop fucking around and make hguc Big Zam already.
>>22698094>mgex big zam>theme: big
>>22698090Is the left one unpainted or literally a different kit? What the fuck was that
>>22698097i think it's the figure
>>22698090They could've at least posed them properly
>fix hg marchosias weak torso articulation with cement>works nicely >also highlights the weakness of the knees>can't disassemble legs due to how I set up the boosterOwari da
>>22697774I thought the Nightingale was bigger than that. The 1/144 is that small still?
>>22698112in height it's about even with Sazabi or a tiny bit shorter actually. It's the length and width that make it take up more space than multiple normal MGs.
>>22698113Wish the Re/100 was a bit better proportions wise.
As s beginner who only buy kit every 3 or so months, Should I get Tamiya paint or Gundam marker for panel lining?
>>22698131Tamiya panel line accent color, no brainer. Gundam Marker makes it very defined and bold and ugly looking (look at dalong pics)
>>22698133NTA and I know this question gets asked like once a week but tamiya liner is fine on assembled models if you topcoat first or does it cause cracking regardless?
>>22698142>but tamiya liner is*Is tamiya liner fine
>>22698133Thanks! I will get the paint. Can't wait to make my Fourze and Decade FSR look even better.
>>22698142It's fine. Just avoid panel lining ABS parts, and don't let it pool too much or the liquid seeps into a crack of two parts together, some people made that mistakes, makes the plastic brittle and cracks eventually
>>22698142Topcope before using tamiya panel liner, always. Even on the runners.
do you guys wear gloves when working?
Do you guys does panel line on the runners or after assemble parts or after build?
>>22698172is topcoat really necessaryi've tried using the tamiya matte topcoat but it doesn't seem to do anything even with a number of coatsonly spray can matte coats seem to have an effect>>22698173i should but i don't
This might be the most depressing sticker sheet ever.
>MG Char's Zaku that's cheaper then a HGI shouldn't... the backlog...
>>22698090>Realism.
>>22698196Do it fgt.
How come tvslop designs are so lazy?
>>22698197It's not tho, just dumb.
I think the new requiem gundam looks cool.
>>22698201rub yr dick, that's how you cum
I jerked off to GN Archer
STOP
>>22698038Is this the new sinanju? Holy fuck.
>>22697880I'm looking forward to it. Gonna finally make that ZZZ gundam even if I have to track down old 1/60 NGs to get the heads from them.
>buy char mobile suit>get rid of the dogshit mcdonalds colors and paint it green instead
>>22698038looks good to me
Psycho Bawoo when?
This is what I found when searching Requiem Gundam. Presume this is not it.
>>22698214>Chinese bawooThey need to tone down some of the edge. Get rid of the clown shoes.
>>22698179damn
>>22698214They can only reuse a couple of parts from old bawoo so most likely never.
>>22698220>clown shoes>what is Jagd Doga
>>22698226What is a goldfish?
>>22698215Well it's definitely the Requiem from Gundam Seed but it's not the Requiem Gundam
>>22698238I just did another search. Requiem gundam is that ugly new thing?
>>22698247it's called Gundam EX iirc
>big AoZ restock>no Woundwort, the most popular AoZ machine????
>>22698285It's all MGs and there's no MG Woundwort
>>22698286why not
>>22698287Because its a lot easier to build off the existing mg gundam mk II 2.0 and keep adding bits
>>22698287The world will never know.
>>22698290>>22698292I don't like that answer
New Beguir Beu variant in Vanadis Heart manga. Expecting another P-Bandai soon.
>>22698298
>>22698298Bnuuy
>>22698296Neither do I. I suggest becoming a board member at bandai to get answers. results not guaranteed.
>>22698304Show up in woundwort cosplay for max effectiveness
>mgfags screeching over no kits againlol. lmao. meanwhile us hgchads are eating good again tonight.
How come the mg inju is so good but the 07 strike freedom is so bad?
>>22698308>x screeching about y again post (again)You are really desperate for attention aren't you?
>>22698313I’m just saying, you never see hgchads crying about not getting kits
>>22697076cutestill not sure why the tiny 30ms type gwitch girl kits cost as much as two(2) hgs though
>>22698301I like the legs but that's it. If the market ever gets flooded by these kits and they end up super cheap on surugaya or mandarake despite markup, I'd buy a bunch
>>22697207>Some of them are already built or partially built and still more expensive than retailall my hard work snapping that kit added value!!
>>22697520that's some sexy bronze anon
>>22697863>single articulated toethis is weirding me out manlooks like he'd go well with some megalomaria shit though
>>22698327It is confirmed to be P-Bandai
>>22697774so much SOVL and dust
>>22698344yeah no shit, why else would i mention buying from surugaya or mandarake>we have a pbandai store nowI DON'T
>>22698247it's the netflix gundam.the netflix show's title is pic related
>>22698349>If the market ever gets flooded by these kitsNo it won't. You might stumble on 3 to 4 copies in your area if you are lucky.
>>22698298those chunky legs are sexy, i want one>>22698344FUCK
>>22698349>I DON'TLmao. Americhads stay winning
>>22698350>Puking anime girl.gif
>>22698310They knew they would remake the SF within a decade or two but this would likely be the only shot at the IJ.
>>22698358Makes me wonder why they didn't do a RG Infinite Justice after they did the Strike Freedom
>>22698371Strike Freedom is exceptionally popular in Japan + protagonist Gundam bias.
>>22698389True, but why would they do a RG Justice in the first place but not a Infinite Justice afterwards?
>>22698389you are always obliterating Strike Freedom
>>22698395I believe it is rare for secondaries to have more than 1 RG release. Unicorn had like, 10 meanwhile Banshee had only 1.
>>22698399RG Banshee has the regular release, Final Battle version and the expansion set. RG Unicorn has a few more but the Unicorn just has more variants than the Banshee in the first place.
Has anyone seen the bootleg RG GM Sniper Custom around recently? I know it's kinda shit and from years ago so probably hard to find now but I like the idea of what's essentially Sniper Custom based on Type C and it'd still be easier to find this than the HG Origin Sniper Custom for a decent price and kitbash it with HG Type C.
>>22698428I believe Green NTD Banshee was a P-Bandai, which shows how secondaries don't have much trust from Bandai in term of money making.
>>22698298art looks good>>22698301kit looks like shitclassic bandai
Do you guys have aura battler dunbines?
>>22698449i fucking wish
>>22698449the only dunbine kits I like are the resin kits from wave but they're like $500
>>22698449I have an aura battler darilbalde
>>22698451
>>22698301I am going to turn this into a Metroid themed kit, I just don't know how yet.
>>22698179I was struggling with the hiragana, and now I'm sad that I understood :(
Why does banrise let other companies make kits of their IPs instead of just making it themselves? Like why doesn’t Bandai just make hg brain powerd kits themselves instead of giving it to moderoid?
>>22698489I was pretty disappointed by the moderoid brain powerd kits, does anyone else make better ones?
>>22698489Smol family company. please understand. Only a billion in profit a year. Can barely put bread on table for family.
>>22698489it's literally free money in the form of license fees, and they can double dip by then making their own kits anyway (like they did with xabungle). there's no reason to not sell licenses
>>22698474is that you, Darilbeetle anon?
What paint color (I don't care about the brand, but a dropper bottle would be preferable) is the one for the dark grey used for the inner frame/metal in gunpla kits? Specifically the eg exceed galaxy (I assume it's the same color everywhere but just in case I'll say the kit I'm painting).
>>22698503Use nazca mechanical surfacer, it's the correct color but with increased scratch resistance compared to regular paint
>>22698504I'll have to varnish it, so I don't need the paint to be resistant to scratches (and it might be hard to get that paint where I live)
>>22698497I prefer to be called "16th Best Builder in gpg Anon".
>>22698503I'm not 100% sure but I think you can achieve it with 50/50 black and white mix with water based acrylics. Vallejo & AK are some reasonable water based brands and come with dropper bottles. You could also check out Vallejo's mecha paint line as the colours are supposed to be more or less a match with plamo colours. The mecha paints come pre-thinned.
anyone got the bootleg psycho zaku? I don't really like thunderbolt designs but this seems like a good way to get a lot of guns for cheapalso the "legally distinct" name mental zaku cracks me up
>>22698489It's not like they were doing anything with Brain Powerd, might as well license it. Notice how you don't see GSC making Gundam Moderoids?
>>22698475Damn that's fucking hot actually
>>22698546Busujima's kits are works of art, too bad about the absurd price
got the siren neptune finished up! i think it came out pretty nice! it's definitely significantly harder to get it into a nice pose, and i'm probably never gonna move it once it's on a shelf, but it was a good learning experience
>>22698559and here it is in less harsh lighting, where the proper turquoise green colour is more visible and less washed out
you didn't paint the siren emblem
>>22698559>>22698561>didn't paint the mermaid>didn't even at least use the decalnigga
>>22698564nope i don't have the right paint colours and im not spending 20 dollars on paints for a tiny mermaid
>>22698523If you buy it for the delicious bazookas then go ahead. Also yes, it is quite funny how they write Psycho Zaku straight up but in Chinese instead of shit like " Psycho Fighter "
>>22698090Wow, these look so terrible unpainted, undecaled and unlined. >>22698094>no Big Zam MG
>>22698567;___;i can try adding the decal but i tried that with the mirage and accidentally ripped them up and i don't want to do the same with this one>>22698576>Wow, these look so terriblecould've stopped there
>>22698576They look like those shitty action figures from the late 90s early 2000s that we used to get.
>>22698090Will buy these just for the memes.
>>22698582The color choices look good, though what kind of paint did you use for this? The blue looks a bit thick and uneven in places.
>>22698652I used mr colour, the blue was tough to see how much was being applied. maybe my lighting isn't the greatest, i just have a lamp sitting next to my shining into the booth, but it's hard to tell how much paint is accumulating because it's not like a bright spot light, just like a lamp bulbi also get impatient painting larger pieces sometimes
>>22698586I feel sorry for your mother.
>>22698449I do
>>22698583>They look like those shitty action figures from the late 90s early 2000s that we used to get.I was clearing out an old toybox to see if there was anything worth keeping and I found a bootleg looking GP-01 action figure in there that I didn't even remember having, definitely would've been from way before I watched Gundam at all really. Was missing some parts too so I just tossed it.
>>22698710I already blew up the second factory
>>22698710the second factory is STILL under construction? They gotta be finishing it up soon if it's to be opened this year. I know these kind of projects inevitably hit unforeseen delays but damn.
finished up my MG Kyrios. very fun build, my first MG. made some mistakes with forgetting to apply decals on parts before topcoat, forgot to clean up panel lines on one of the legs, and of course, flat coated some of the transparent green pieces, but overall I'm satisfied with the build. he won't fit on any of the stands I bought so he's just balancing in the corner.
>>226987262024/12/31
>>22696596Working on bootleg Psycho-Blade now.
>>22698710Are scalpers even a real problem for retail kits now? MG Zeta Ver Ka and RG Epyon were quite easily available unlike the RG Hi-Nu which was around the peak of scalping.
>>22698729gettin up close and personal
Which Sinanju Stein should I get? The ver ka or the Narrative?
>>22698744the new narrative ver ka is just outright superior to either and comes with all the old parts
>>22698744They look different. Why not just buying both?
>>22698738It appears their method of combating scalpers is to release nothing but shelfwarmers
>>22698744I would go with the old ver ka, but I just prefer the look of the sinanju without the sleeves emblems
>>22698301>>22698298sexo
>bunch of interesting new or significantly new molds stuck in Pbandai jail>meanwhile we have like 4 retail MG Sinanjuswhy
>>22698814>why does Bandai...You should know better than to ask that by now
>>22698814
Love watching poorfags seethe about p-bandai and stuff out of print. I just buy everything marked up on surugaya, never had any problems with it, everything ships in like 2 days with free dhl.
>>22698710death to bandai
>>22698829HGAC Altron finally?
>>22698833YesP-Bandai of course
>>22698834That was guaranteed once Deathscythe Hell was announced as P-Bandai.
>>22698826I just stopped buying gunpla, now I don't have to care about p-bandai at all
>>22698836>>22698834p-bandai enjoyers are undefeated.
P-BANDAIBROS, WE ARE SO BACK
This is p-bandai fans 12/25. Hg mercurius and vayeate and hg leo full weapon set also going up along with hg Altron.
>>22698175Panel lining on runnersPros: parts don’t move, easy to do all parts together and clean upCons: some lines can be hard to reach, sanding nubs can sand away panel ink tooParts cut off, sanded, not assembledPros: easy to move part around, can ink hard-to-reach spotsCons: a pain to hold if small partsAfter assembly, whole model or by limb:Pros: can ink only what’s visibleCons: if not topcoated, tamiya panel liner can pool in gaps without evaporating and cause cracksIf you’re using tamiya panel liner on bare plastic, I recommend either on runner or separated parts (not assembled) so no broken partsIf pencil, sharpie, or gundam fine line, they won’t crack, do whatever’s easiest
The same smoothbrains that defend and shill for pbandai are the same type of people who unironically lined up for Supreme drops. I hate snapshitters so much it's unreal.
>>22698177Gloss topcoat for panel lining, otherwise matte will make the surface rough and fuck up where the ink goes
>>22698871>he doesn't have the MG 3.0 Supreme RX-78-2NGMI
>>22698826>buying on surugaya because it has free shippinglmao poorfag. buy it on a chink scalper that charges 2x SRP on shipping before i even consider you a /gpg/ chad
>>22698878I bought it and painted it normal colors but used semi-gloss topcoat so it just looks like bare plastic
>>22698881I kneel.
>>22698868So all the new kits in this crop are shipping in November? At least I won't have to feel bad about ordering the nightseeker 2 now.
>>22698884Based. Painting it so it looks exactly like bare plastic topcoated is one of the most based things you can do in this hobby
Would a brass color in place of the gray look nice?
>>22698559>>22698561Looks nice anon. Which paints did you use?
We’ll have our day AGEchads… someday…
>>22698897alclad ii pale gold for the gold accentsalclad ii copper for the inner framealclad ii steel for the horns and then i ran out so i used tamiya matte black for the rest of the black accents and pipingvallejo white and vermillion for the eyes and the forehead dotmr color c391 (interior turquiose green soviet) for the outer armouralclad ii black base + chrome for the chromed surfacesand tamiya black panel liner for the panel liningthe pale gold and turquoise were the only spray paints i had to order, and the vallejo model colours i picked up from a hobby shop.

>>22696596I just love the old Zaku so much bros.
Remember to fulfil your AoZ fantasies tonight.
>>22698927finally, we can advance Zeta's slop into kino.
Pre-order your Hazels!
>>22698937too expensive
>>22698937>>22698939Gotta agree. The Owsla looks pretty great but $83 is a lot for it.
I am not getting pbandai MG AoZ stuff (Canuckistan) but my friend did find me this locally so I'll celebrate along with you guys lol
>>22696596Birthday gift
>>22698911Godspeed zaku 1 bro
>>22698957sorry the warehouse worker kicked it on his way out the 4th story window
>>22698911Be sure to snip the snoot.
How would Katoki salvage it if they make Ver.Ka, the better or worse?
>>22698975thinner waistlonger legsmore flat surfaces and less curvesgod i can't standing looking at that thing for much longer, it is absolutely the ugliest mobile suit i've seen outside of seed designs
Why the fuck the MSA-0011 Exs MG so expensive? Is it huge like the Sazabi?
>>22698975Throw it in the trash.
The hate boner for the requiem gundam is kind of cringe. It’s literally the same guy who did the 08th ms team designs, it’s basically a more detailed ez8. Also the skeletal design is cool and especially shines in the animation. If you paint it, a little bit of shading will go a long way.
>>22698980here's a size comparison to help
>>22698993Yeah, but it’s in the air which makes it look bigger compared to the others. Also plastic is cheap as fuck, the amount of plastic in the exs is probably 5 cents more than the f91 2.0
>>22698992>skeletalthat's not what a skeleton looks likethe dantalion is skeletalthe requiem is just too busy
>>22698996it's probably just the size and the appearance, plus ppl seem to be willing to pay a higher price for it so that's what bandai/resellers are going to sell it for
>>22698975Drastically cut down on the amount of excessive detailing+curves and lean into something like the Ez8. Because it's clear the idea behind it was something in the vein of the Ez8 to begin with as a ground type unit. At the very least, i guess it might be cool to see someone take the kit and do an undetailing or simplification of it.
>>22698997Dantalion is somehow so much fucking worse than the reddit gundam. It looks like a bootleg bad guy from late-gen halo.
>>22698993Its a bit wide like the qubeley size.
>>22698993>Don't talk to me or my children ever again
>>22698975>>22699004looking at the two back to back cut the new one's fins off and it would make the "helmet" look more natural
>>22698997I don't think it's busy. That's just the expo picture, and it's probably the most unflattering one you can take of the model. It looks less busy in the promotional picture. Also it looks way better properly posed than in the reddit snapfag pose. I think if you give it a proper paintjob with shading it will look really cool.
This is how it will actually look like.
>>22699015the face still reminds me of schmuserkadser
>>22698968I think they hired a bunch of new people, because all of my deliveries over the last 4 months or so have been damaged in such a way that it happening in shipping isn't a viable explanation, ie. shipping box is pristine and so are the kits on the outside of the stack, but one or two in the middle look like someone punched one of the edges.
>>22699017After building models from other brands I seriously can't go back to the gummy soft detail look of Bandai kits
>>22699017I get what irks me so much about this now. It's not just how shit the design is as a whole, it's that the arms are too long to look natural but not long enough to be fittingly exaggerated.
>>22699019I always thought it looked like the old sportsball guys helmets
>>22696596Been slowly working on this YF-29, decals add a lot of detail on top of the very smart parts layout and color separation.
>>22699031the true form of the requiem gundam
>>22699050lol. good work anon.
Did a little shopping on the way home
>>22698980The Ex-S 1.5 has a ton of unused parts.
>>22698503there is a paint color guide on the last page of the manual in every single bandai model kit showing exactly which paint colors to mix in which proportions to get the results in the sample imagesEG Build Strike Exceed Galaxy's grey is a mix of 3 paint colors>65% Gray>30% Dark gray(1)>5% Blackthey base it on the GSI Creos Mr Color paint line so it's specifically the Mr Color "Dark Gray(1)" paintwhat the fuck is the difference between that and Dark Grey(2)? I dunno
>>22699068bruh why would you paint exactly according to the color guide? it just makes it look like bare plastic top coated.
>>22699070Not this shit again
>>22699070it's called longsnapping you philistine
>>22698992I don't mind the body but the head and face look ugly
>>22698992>It’s literally the same guy who did the 08th ms team designsSo?>it's basically a more detailed ez8And it's fucking ass.
>>22699093>So?He's saying that because the guy had an okay design before we have to like his new ass ugly design.
>>22699100
>>22698179what the fuck I didn't even know there was a Zearth kit
>>22699102Now explain why that’s a bad thing to the naganofags in this general.
>>22699112>implying Nagano has had any good designs ever
>>22699118Based. I like you anon.
>>22699100Everyone at bandai needs to kill themselves.
>>22699125You will buy The Wing Gundam number 3 again and you will like it.
>>22699128Bootlegs only from now on, no longer giving bandai money. The chink slave children and their masters can have it.
Sorry if this sound stupid but I want to know if I'm doing it right. When we said paint in multiple thin coats, does that mean I do a light coat first set it aside for about 15 minutes then go for another coat or do I go with the second coat right after the first one?And how many coats do you guys usually do, I often do 3.
MG G-Saviour ver Ka.Think about it.
>>22699122The closest things to good designs he's ever produced were mostly the work of cleanup artists.
Is pic related ever gonna get a reprint, can't find any at a reasonable price
>>22699145Well why would they bring back someone who is that bad?
>>22699153They didn't, that's why Banrise kept shutting down Tomino's attempts to work with him after Zeta
>>22699153Nagano is a better designer than anyone who works for Bandon't. Can't think of a single gundumb design that I'd spend $1000 on but there's plenty of FSS kits that I would.
>>22699149You don't want to spend $90 on an ancient HG with peg joints? Racist.
>>22699166Are you forgetting Kino Powerd
>>22699170>but there's plenty of FSS kits that I wouldLike? I'm pretty sure the only kits to reach that price point are the old 1/35 anniversary kits, Twin Tower and ZAPMaybe the LED bust? I don't remember how much that one was.
>>22699136I do a light coat and then just flash dry it with the airbrush and then proceed with a second thick coat and leave it at that usually, I don't often find I need a third coat and generally try to avoid it
>>22699166>>22699173They also picked him as the lead mechanical designer for zz but he rage quit when they told him it had to have a gay transformation gimmick. That’s why the zz is so ugly because they made it last minute and it wasn’t their first choice for mechanical designer. And still they had to wait like 10ish episodes for it to appear in the show. Also iirc they tried to bring him back a few other times but it didn’t work out either.
>>22699173Sorry GSC but plastic can't do it justice.
>>22699178The upcoming Gatexion MK-II is around that price
>>22699184Sorry resincels but you’re gonna die of lung cancer at like 30.
>>22699182>but he rage quit when they told him it had to have a gay transformation gimmickWhy was it a problem this time?
>>22699187It's like $750, expensive but not that bad for the size and volume
>>22699189He made a transforming Gundam but Banrise told him to do it again but this time make it more retarded since his draft was too hard to make a toy out of. So he told them to kill themselves and left the project right before it started airing, taking all his mechanical designs with him and leaving them scrambling to find robots for their robot show.
It's a shame because some of his designs were actually kino as fuck. But Izubuchi and Akitaka had some unique and cool designs that I'm glad we got to have also.>Left to right: Hamma-Hamma, Emnine, Gaza-D, and unidentified "ground combat MS." The Emnine is described as "a male MS that forms a pair with the Hamma-Hamma."
>>22699202
Is the Nagano ZZ cooler than the one we got?
>>22699202>The Emnine is described as "a male MS that forms a pair with the Hamma-Hamma."How common is that kind of thing?
>>22699206A literal pile of shit would be cooler than the one we got
>>22699219What do you think about the Full Armor ZZ Gundam?I always thought the regular ZZ was mid but Akitaka made it look great in the final battle with the Full Armor.
>>22699226much better
>>22699198Absolutely hideous. FSS looks good, but this looks like dog shit.
>>22699243Tastelet
>>22699142I have, many times.
>>22699037Looks great, keep working mate.
>>22699017Friend gave this to me.
>>22698826So you enjoy being a cuckold. Got it.
>>22699100>>22699104FUCKINGFINALLY
Gundam EX? More like Gundam DI (Dead Inside)
>>22699024> I seriously can't go back to the gummy soft detail look of Bandai kitsYou are that big of a snapfaggot that you don't even sand your kits?
>>22699383I will fucking sand its face to kill that bulge.
>>22699331>kills all unique and characteristic features in favor of generic gundam stylingyeah that's a ver ka
>>22699364that's exactly what i was thinking when i saw that foot design
>>22699396>he doesn't know the Terrain ModeEmbarrassing!Yeah that guy's artstyle really emulated Katoki well in sanding off unique proportions etc.
>>22699389I don't see why I should have to sharpen every single corner and every single detail on a kit for designs I don't even like that much
oh no he's hot
>>22699015this is the gundam universe figure not the hg
>>22699473meant for >>22699388but I'm sure someone's gonna say model kits being low quality is A Good Thing Actually because it means more work for the modeller
>>22699491>model kits being low quality is A Good Thing Actually because it means more work for the modellerI believe modelkits have always been shitty. Thats what differs them from high quality action figues. It is kinda like a stockholm syndrome when you get into this hobby. >But but they look dull and gummyAre you sure that's not your fucked up paintjob?
Surprised that Hrairoo gets a toothpick for a beam saber
>>22699494he old old
>>22699494it's reusing the Gaplant mold and tootpicks would still be the go-to for most HGs for another year or two
>>22699473>sharpen every single corner and every single detail on a kit for designs I don't even like that muchSo it is because Bandai bad or Bandai kits have many ugly designs? I don't get what you are trying to say.
>>22699493>Are you sure that's not your fucked up paintjob?No, Bandai chamfers every corner and edge on their kits so children don't hurt themselves. As a result you usually have to sand every surface to restore the edges. It's a completely unnecessary pain in the ass.>>22699498I'm just saying I hate sanding more than I like most mobile suits.
>>22699504holy schizo
>>22699484holy sex i want him to step on me
>>22699504>Bandai chamfers every corner and edge on their kits so children don't hurt themselves.Then go play with a cactus if you like sharp edges that much.
>>22699511It's not about me liking sharp edges, it's about most Bandai kits failing to sell any sense of scale because of their generally "soft" look and overscale detail.
Bandai will never reprint this, aren't they?
>no sharp edges>on designs that are mostly curvedhm interesting
>>22699512I'm having several Kotobukiya kits right here and none of them have harsh spiky looks. It is just a common sense to design something meant to be touched at alot with safety ensurrance. I bought several Chinese kits and you know what? I threw in in garbage bin, because due to the sharp edges, it is hard to work with them afterwards.
>>22699512anon they're chamfered because that looks goodif everything had straight 90 degree edges it'd look like shit, not to mention unfinished and like a stack of boxes. No chamfering is the easiest tell for amateurish models and scratchbuilds.
>>22699516>Kotobukiya kit>It doesn't have spikes and hard edges all over the placeNooooo you are supposed to be the chosen one!
>>22699518I remember several people bitched about Mighty Strike Freedom due to its spiky wings. I guess people nowadays will find anything to be outraged, huh
>>22699518>anon they're chamfered because that looks goodOn their larger scale kits it does, my issue is mostly with 1/144 scale.
>>22699521Also it depends on the kit of course. Simpler designs are usually fine, but the HGGTO line for example damn near universally looks like ass. Same with RGs. Usually, the higher the detail concentration and the smaller the parts, the worse the kits look.
>>22699525trash taste
>>22699525rg crossbone looks great though and that has tiny parts
Apparently, there’s gonna be a bootleg HG xi coming soon.
>>22699535Huh, pretty neat. Dunno if I'll go for it myself but if it comes with the funnel missile effect parts I'll be very tempted.
>>22699539Your chink overlord got your back.
>>22699543Nice, now I am very tempted. Always cool when they throw in some extra bit like that.Any idea who's making it?
>>22699515best hope is a pbandai hg in a few years
>on display at various events for a year and a half now>still no release date
>>22699331Get this shit out of my face what the hell is that.
How many Bandai model kits factories are there?
>>226995611, which is 1 more than virtually all other model companies and they are opening the second one supposedly this year
>>22699521Let me guess, you never sand, never paneline, never even topcoat your kit and most of all, never cut away nubs.
The sand man doesn't even paint btw
>>22699521Post your snapbuild and let's see whats your issues with HG/EG
>>22699556>what if i take a robot>and attach ornate railing and chair arms everywhere
>>22699570You have to sand the surface before painting. That's fundamental in construction and industrial works.
>>22699573It's supposed to be based on onigawara roof tiles apparently
>>22699560I've come to realize that I almost always prefer gundam designs that don't use the standard red/yellow/blue/white colors
Anons, my backlog í becoming a mountain in my room. What should i do?
>>22699595Regular reprint Grimoire when? Also my backlog is organized chaos around my room. I usually play autismo tetris with the boxes when the top of the stack is uneven.
>>22699607I believe you can recreate original Grimoire from Red Beret. Then give it a paintjob. Personally i love Red Beret due to its military colorscheme + Votoms homage.
>>22699615red beret has all the grimoire parts except the gun and effect parts
>>22699595Learn how to stack your boxes better and then buy some shelving.
Babe wake up, new mobile fighters are gonna dropP-Bandai exclusive of course, prease understandu
Any suggestions on what color I should paint her hair?
>>22699660No, the Bandai logic will dictate that Spiegel, Tequila, and Nether will be retail; but Dragon, Bolt, and Devil will be P-Bandai.
reprint doko
>>22699660Bandai please, the 2.0s.
>>22699677>retail TequilaPlease, I can only be so erect
>>22699677They're more than likely only going to make the Shuffle Alliance and the Devil Gundam.
>>22699696sorry anon this is verka era
>>22699703I would buy a Devil Gundam.
>>22699704>Gunpla is becoming early 20th century politicsThe key to all this is the assassination of Archduke Hajime Katoki.
>>22699703I still holding my hopes for RG Master to round off this G Gundam line
>>22699709first new mold RG that's p-bandai exclusive ;3
>>22699713Don't you fucking give them any ideas
>>22699715you know it's gonna happen at some point, new mold HGs are the standard at this point and MGs are also not unheard ofP-bandai original mold Real Grade kit is inevitable, the only question is what exactly is gonna get fucked over
give me 1 reason why bandai shouldn't make all of their new releases that aren't new series/movie tie in HGs p-bandai
>>22699725give me one reason why your mother shouldn't bend over for me tonight
>>22699713
>>22699728this one is only like half new innit?
>>22699722RG Hazel. Or RG MP Nu so no one immediately notices it a completely new mold>>22699728May as well count Zaku minelayer and shit
PG Gogg.Think about it.
>>22699725I can’t. It actually makes a ton of sense. That way, they can make them to order since they can only print so much stuff at the factory.
>>22699734He's already perfect though
>>22699734p-bandai
>>22699729I believe it is just modification of Strike Freedom mold. However, if you talk about new mold for RG that is P-Bandai, this one.
>>22699734reddit
>>22699729It's like 80% of the way there.https://schizophonic9.com/re7/rg_freedomgcp.html
>>22699683I'm also waiting for it. I have the Salamis/Magellan, I wish they made the scale larger. 1/1700 felt damn small once I put it together.A guy in some 3d modeling/printing group printed a 1/400 Nahel Argama that looks really damn good too. I was thinking of commissioning someone to do a print for me too since I don't have my own printer, but I can imagine how expensive it'd be.
>>22699757Honestly they both look badDoes the Freedom actually have a single good kit?
>>22699760Mg 2.0The only thing that matters is how it looks and it looks good.
>>22699017The body is looks good, the shoulder armor needs to go and that kill me now face really needs to be changed. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>22699760>>22699763The MG 2.0 looks bad and can't actually do the full burst pose properly, the 1.0 is far better
>>22699768In my opinion, the HG Revive version is the best rendition of Freedom as a kit. The superhero proportion and simple design give it a special charm. RG and MG make it look too complex.
>>22699683Ex model Ra Cailum fucking when
Does Bandai hate Shining Gundam that much? Beside an old HG and an even older MG, it has nothing else.
>>22699776Anon, please. We're currently in the middle of HGFC line, can't you wait a year or so before doomposting?
>>22699142cringeg-3 saviour ver ka on the other hand
>>22699683Got mine a few months ago, along with some others.
>>22699778when is the HGCC line coming
>>22699782Absolutely based. When you build the Salamis and Magellans, can you post pictures of the 1/1200 scales next to the 1/1700 scales? I've been wondering how big the difference in scale is.
>>22699783Wait for the 30th anniversary of Turn A in 5 years
>>22699785Dalong got you covered.
>>22699788but i'll be 35 years old then i don't want to wait half a fucking decade
>>22699790why doesn't Dalong put ads on his site?
>>22699796
>>22699188but im already 30
>hobby-genki asks like 4k yen to ship MG Sahlenthropus via DHL>Volks store asked me 7k to ship that massive KOG with the massive fuck off cannon via DHL>Surugaya asks me 500 yen commision fee to ship via DHL for 0 yen>HLJ is asking 10k to ship the same kit via DHL>Mandarake is asking 13k via DHLWhy IS HLJ and madarake so jewish?
>>22699790I need to stop forgetting that Dalong exists. Thanks anon. I like how much bigger the 1/1200 are but I can tell it doesn't have anywhere near as much detail. Sucks.
>>22699803You can try scribing some 1700 details on 1200 but it's gonna be a lengthy project.
>>22699802Newfags don't remember the golden age of HLJ shipping. I got this haul the summer of '18. VGH, take me back...
>>22699758Just get a printer, FDM has come a long way. A1 mini is like 200$ and can get you real close to SLA.
>>22699017The face looks like a fat kid stuffed into a football helmet
>>22699811>30 dollars on amazon>5-10 dollar shipping at mostbetter times.
Are we actually gonna get a RG Master Gundam? It seems like a lot of people are saying we will since they're making more G Gundam kits. It already has a HGFC kit and it doesn't seem that popular.
>>22699830Bandai is all about low effort easy money remakes, so I would guess yes.
>>22699830Unfortunately our timeline shifted at some point and we got RG Epyon instead of RG Master
>>22699782>stack of gunpla in the dark woodsFuck you skinwalker you'll never take me alive
Why do all his Gundams look the same?
>>22699849I like how they just removed the commander antenna and gave the IJ2 another beam saber on the head. The Justice went from a gimmicky commander unit to having a million beam sabers.
>>22699849>Why do Justice Gundam's upgrades look similar to Justice Gundam itself?
>>22699853Did Okawara just run out of ideas having to make so many Gundams for SEED that he just had to use the same justice design 3 times and copy all the old zeon suits for the zaft monoeyes? Seriously why didn't they bring on more mechanical designers for the show? At least have one other guy to do the baddies suits. All the 90s shows had multiple designers.
>>22699758>>22699816Some 1/1700 WIPs.
>>22699859Junichi Akutsu did some designs for SEED but all of the MS in Destiny were designed by Okawara.
>>22699773The original design of the freedom (as with most okawara designs) looks best in motion, the mg 2.0 is the only version of the freedom I like looking at standing still due to its proportions and detail, though I totally understand people who want to avoid excess detail and I can be like that for some designs I just think the freedom uses it well
>>22699849No need to change peakBut the type II is a downgrade sadly, why did they get rid of the head camera :((((
>>22699847
>>22699877You’re going to need some better bait than that
>>22699868Why didn’t they bring on some other guys for Destiny? I mean I bet they were just rolling in money after the commercial success that SEED was.Fuck man. Makes me think we were just spoiled silly in the older shows. I mean we had a show with both Okawara and Nagano as designers. Then right after Izubuchi and Akitaka. Then through the whole 90s we got Okawara, Ishigaki, and Hajime fucking Katoki. Destiny is poverty tier compared to that lineup.
>>22699878>>22699877Note to sell. When coming upon gunpla in the woods, be low ready.
>>22699878
>>22699849Wow thanks for reminding how great the Justice gundam is.
>>22699859If it ain't broke, don't fix it. As if the outrage on Aerial Rebuild still hasn't diedown yet.
>>22699890Mmmm, fuck it’s close
>>22699890Fine, I'll go innawoods now.
>>22699898What were people mad about? The design change is a perfect way to show how aerial has gone from a companion at school to a killing machine
>>22699898I actually like rebuild better
>>22699904It looks stupid rather than menacing.
>>22699904Maybe the giant blue tumors need some color separation in them.
>>22699758Oh shit do you have any more pics of this or a link to an album? I've always dreamed of seeing this in a larger scale.
>>22699910military hardware rarely comes with "color separation"
>>22699778HGFC is a fuckin scam because it's all P Bandai. Also I just want a fucking 1/100 scale Bolt and Rose for fuck's sake I can't handle it anymore it's not fair.
>>22699890ooh- floorpla
>>22699913>Military hardwareRight. I'll keep that argument in mind for literally everything else in Witch or any other Gundam related design that has color separation.
>>22699913>military hardware rarely comes with "color separation"
>>22699910Also, the face needs additional vent so it won't look like a weird looking mouth
>>22699923>camouflage slapped across the entire thingcolor separation is meant to highlight the suit's shape and features, not obscure them
>>22699910What? The backpack has plenty with the grey veins and yellow fins and monochrome shoulder armor is hardly out of the ordinary
>>22699924It's the Minami-ke mouth. :<
>>22699904Gundam niggas point at silly giant cartoon robot then claim it is the scariest cosmic horror ever existed.
>>22699919The Dilanza and most WFM designs in general really don't really have that much more color separation than the Aerial Rebuild. Most of the designs are fairly clean and simple, probably so they wouldn't need many color correcting stickers.
>>22699929The back pack, the shoulders, and then finally the chest are all blue. It needs something to break it up.
>>22699933*Darrilbalde, got the names mixed up.
>>22699926In-universe, it is just a paintjob and nothing more. No different than you slapping decals on your kit to give it some details.
>>22699933I kind of fucked up on using that example without contextualizing it. Considering that the retard started going on about military hardware and there are giant red, white/purple, white/red/blue/yellow war robots flying around. I meant to point out how dumbshit retarded it is to cite military hardware as any sort of excuse. TL;DR anon is a prancing lala faggot.
>>22699931It’s simply a more militaristic and aggressive design in contrast to the original aerial
>>22699934The chest and backpack arent all blue though, only the shoulders are all blue
>>22699933Dilanza is more colorful than you remember. They have 2 purple greebles, 2 white greebles, along with grey torso to contrast with the cadet blue head and limps. Aerial Rebuild's problem is that her shoulders, wings and part of the chest are all blue, making them too bland and bleed into each other.
>>22699943Why does the type 2 look so squat and tiny, the og inju looks so much better
I like predominantly one color designs
>>22699953Except it looks quite colorful
>>22699944Side chest, shoulder, backpack which blends in too much altogether. It needs something to break it up.
Which kit has the coolest expansion set?
>>22699958HWS Nu
>>22699957Middle chest, desperately needs that yellow colour and the shoulder armor too.
>>22699953Why are the spikes painted in solid colors? I thought those were supposed to be beam spikes?
>>22699962In that image the left shoulder and left backpack actually blend together to resemble one big blob lol.
>>22699958HG Scopedog. Just pure manliness.
>>22699960>Still have that fatty on my backlog.I will build it soon.
>>22699965Yeah, this is one of the off putting part of the rebuild. It's so out of place and ruins Aerial.
Why isn't there an entry grade zaku?
>>22699898I fucking love rebuild so much. Haven't even watched the show, I just love the design. Blue feet? Sick as fuck.
>>22699972I believe EG is for Gundam only. Beginners to the hobby won't know what the fuck is a Zaku.
>>22699965Thats only because the example is an unpainted model that doesnt even have any panel lining
>>22699966As based as it gets. I'm excited for the new expansions.
>>22699975>I believe EG is for Gundam only.aren't there entry grade pokemon and naruto and goku
>>22699976No. It should have something in there to add color separation. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/f/f0/Gundam_Aerial_Rebuild_Front.png/revision/latest?cb=20230108103719
>snapshitter can't panel line or paint>bitches about something that needs paint and panel lines>muh color separation!!!Massive snapshitter tastelet skill issue
>>22699975i guess that's kinda fairi just think an entry grade zaku 1 would be fantastic
>>22699981u mean like shading/highlighting/color modulation/weathering/etc
>>22699981Even just putting the bits on adds white to the shoulders
>>22699987No. A yellow, red, or white to break up all that blue.
>colourblind snappy complaining about some valid points on the Aerial rebuild.NOOOOO, it's finerinos, there's no probleeem with the blue blob on the Rebuild. Except it killed the identity of Aerial and just flat out killed the charm that the original had.
>>22699992Bruh, the whole point is to show how aerial has gone from a companion at school to a killing machine. It’s supposed to have a more aggressive and militaristic feel.
>>22699992Use your fucking brain anon it killed the charm and identity of the aerial because it represents suletta submitting to her mothers will and using aerial as a weapon as it was originally intended, the charm of the original was always a cover, its fine if you dont like the design but at least understand why it is what it is
>>22699987painting a gundam like a fantasy miniature or a ww2 diorama is never not going to look stupid
>>22699995If that was the whole intention of upgrading Aerial, they would have just gone full on Grey+Black like with the Schwarzette which actually looks more menacing except they slapped on the blue colour to it.
>>22698891One anon recently said he liked my semi gloss white
>>22700000It needs to still recognisably be aerial because eri’s humanity still remains
>>22698878I hate these clear colour kits so much and I hope that if anyone has it in this thread, I hope that it melts.
>>22699760HG SEED and NG 1/100
>>22699773That kit's only flaw is the wing pieces. It's one solid block instead of having the separations that the MG 2.0 has.
One moment, I just woke up.
