>>22699966Pretty manly to carry your bro across Sunsa.
>>22700056SPOONS! It looks better irl I swear. The blue is very nice, but the reds aren't what I want. I primed the first batch of the MGEX SF, tomorrow I will melt more in my cuck shed with that heat, then I will have gaudy gold and copper parts
>>22700024
how do you plan out scribing lines so that their shapes look good and don't go overboard? Just crib off more detailed versions of the kit till you can feel it out?
>>22700082and on that topic, can you carve a seam line into a panel line with just a usual scriber?
>>22700056Be honest anons, how many projects are you working on at the same time?...and how many have you began but not touched in a long time?
>>22700097i have about 10 kits in various stages of completion (3-4 are like 95% done). most haven't been touched in about a year. i usually only actively work on 1-2 kits at a time
>>22700097Like 5. And 4 of those I haven't substantially touched in a while. The rest are relegated to snapshit existence until I'm done with these.
Which is your favorite Armored Core kit? Do you look forward to 30mm AC?
>>22700097Just one at a time, I can't stand having several at once
>>22700097I'm pretty good at working on one at a time but I feel like it causes a bit of burnout since I'm usually more excited to be working on the next thing than what I currently am by the end
>hobby store gets a new shipment>it's entirely seed shitwhat the fugg
>>22700111I would rather wait for koto acs. I prefer acs in 1/72
>>22700111>Still no Steel Haze Ortus>Still no Balteus>Still no Cel 240>Still no Hal 826I know there won't be more kits coming, but damn I want those so bad at least in HG.
>>22700144Some random Chinese company might make a bootleg you never know
>>22700130>I would rather wait for koto acs. I prefer acs in 1/72The Koto AC6 kits aren't 1/72.
>>22700173what scale are they?
>>22700178Officially non-scale but the Steel Haze was roughly the same size as their Supplice figure which is about 30cm tall.
>>22700178Non scale, last I checked Steel haze was bigger than sazabi (nearly 30cm tall). Likely near 1/48 or bigger
>>22700192>>22700193what the fuck
where was the g-line light armor announced? any release date confirmed?
I wish I could find one at a good price
>>22700199It was at one of those hobby shows a few days ago but it was just a prototype with no release date or price
>>22700249HLJ have one in stock
>>22700261>BackorderedAh shit, thanks for reminding me I preordered the MG Sinanju, now it's backordered.
eg ν gundam was breddy fun to put together, surprisingly great lack of stickers for such a cheap kitwhy don't they do high grades like this, if it's possible at such a low price point? or are they selling it at a loss, hoping it'll pull in new gunpla ppl to buy other, profitable, kits?
>>22700395EGs are a textbook example of high investment for cheap product, they're very well engineered for their relatively low intricacy which makes them cheap to produce in large amounts which is exactly what they're for.That being said, so far they're also based on fairly simple designs which makes things easier too.And for what it's worth modern HGs often reach a similar point, like a lot of Witch kits.
>>22700396>And for what it's worth modern HGs often reach a similar point, like a lot of Witch kits.It's more accurate to say that most modern HGs are glorified EGs, complete with simplistic c-clip joints and lots of cheap looking hollow parts
>>22700399not really, no
>>22700396vaguely reminds me of the beyond global rx78-2, where it's a relatively cheap kit with interesting engineering. wonder what the next EG is going to be
>>22700395Please stop posting your scarred up legs
>>22700408sry i'll try harder
>>22700407Here's hoping for Mk-II. It might not be the most impressive but it's still popular and I want an easy way to get parts from it.Probably gonna be Exia tho
>>22700395Ywnbarw
>>22700056Here's where I'm at with the XFS Psycho-Blade. I just realized I forgot to paint the leg vents white, so I'll do that while I wait for the weapon to dry. I honestly like how it turned out so much I'm considering buying a resin printed crest for it. Also outside pictures today because my poor inside lighting doesn't do the black any good.
>>22700440
I'm new to gunpla, what the hell does Ver. Ka mean
>>22700440>>22700442Pretty! Gotta say the bootleg mold of the Psycho Blade looks pretty solid, and your execution is even better.
>>22700444version katoki, as in hajime katokihe is a mobile suit designer, and sometimes he will reimagine a kit to fit more with his personal style, and the resulting kit is a version of that kit that has been redisgned by katoki, hence Version Katoki, or Ver. Ka for short
>>22700447Thank you anon, I can't say if it was just my copy or not but this mold is significantly better than the Woundwort and Hazel-II. The plastic is noticeably harder, even on the frame. It's much better quality and requires much less sanding to do overall.
>>22700414The HG00 line is nearly 20 years old at this point. Would not be surprised if we get some HGAD kits in a few years.
>>22700451That's very good to know, I have their Woundy and legit Hazel II so I am tempted to get them a friend.
>>22700452Probably, yeah. A lot of them hold up quite well but there's also many that are getting up there in age, Exia itself included. And if the potential new 00 project planned for circa 2027 really does happen at least this decade, that would be a good time to do a HGAD line.
>>22700193>>22700192Didn't they scale them up for display? I recall white glint and gaea being the same size alongside steel haze
>>22700452>turn A nearly 30 years old>only ONE high grade and two old ass master grades
>>22700056
>>22700467Turn A is not very popular and only ever got 8 kits back when it was airing. I don't think Bandai really cares nor did they ever expect to really sell models with it, it was never the point of the show.
>>22700471but the designs are so cool aaaa why can't the japanese like it more so bandai would start making kits for it
>>22700467>two old ass mgI remembered when turn a was announced thou->2007Welp. Guess im not long for this world.
>>22700463>I recall white glint and gaea being the same size alongside steel hazeThose models had disclaimers that they were display-only models not intended for production, Steel Haze didn'tPlus the producer for the AC model line already said this would be the actual size
>>22700500I wonder what kind of retard they have working there to think "hmmm yes we shall make our new AC line not in scale with the others this is brilliant." Lost my sale Koto, buying Bandai's which are actually scaled with my Koto ACs instead because of this clown shit.
>>22700500that's awesome then. i wonder what they'll price them at
>>22700512>I wonder what kind of retard they have working there to think "hmmm yes we shall make our new AC line not in scale with the others this is brilliantBecause 1. they wanted to do better details and more gimmicks, 2. they want to release more decoction model figures and the AC6 model kits are compatible with them, and 3. making their kits the same scale as before would put them in almost direct competition with Bandai
>>22700516The old AC kits have enormous detail and reproduce most of the gimmicks. They could reproduce more at that scale if they wanted, too. They aren't exactly small, even the AC5 kits. To be 1.5x the size is completely fucked for something that doesn't truly look any better than the old ones.
>>22700396I get that EG is targeting for normies but why they haven't make Char's Zaku considering his popularity? Also, hoping they also do EG MK II considering it's shared similarity with RX 78 design
>>22700395>>22700396>>22700540>do EG of a unit famous for it's strange one "wing" design for it's funnels>don't include the one thing that made it famous
>>22700540I don’t know anon, why don’t you ask them? Ffs these questions are retarded. Use your head anon, how are we supposed to know what banrise thinks?
>>22700540the thing about Bandai decisions is that they make absolutely zero sense
>>22700544/thread over forever. No more discussion about anything, ever.
>>22700547Umm maybe you could pyw faggot like these threads are for instead of jerking yourself off about how much smarter you are than banrise execs who make more money than you.
>>22700399>most modern HGs are glorified EGs, complete with simplistic c-clip joints and lots of cheap looking hollow partsYou obviously doesn't know what you are talking about at all.
>>22700553You are the one who is making a display of aggressive ignorance. Once you bandaibabbies dip your feet into real model kits from other manufacturers, you will gain some perspective about the soft gummy details you’ve become accustomed to.
>>22700552>Thread about gunpla and plamo>it's illegal to discuss the companies that produce the gunpla and plamoIt sounds like you would be happier on another website where you can police the discourse.
>>22700561It sounds like you can’t cope with criticism without attacking a straw man.
>>22700395what kind of guys do you like?
>>22700540Being similar designs doesn't really mean anything, an EG MK-II would not share anything with the EG RX-78.
>>22700557>Once you bandaibabbies dip your feet into real model kits from other manufacturersYeah, like Maschinen Krieger.
>>22700544>how are we supposed to know what banrise thinks?Take a load of meth, smash your head into a wall, and then take advice from a chimpanzee fed a steady diet of cocaine and with a shock collar fitted to it's balls to hit it with maximum power at random intervals.That will accurately simulate the situation that is doddering CEO's with brain rot being advised by shit for brains investor's screaming that number must go up and also this is what the kids want so do it.
>Modern HG looks so gummy and cheap bro! The old HG looked much sharper, edgier and better bro>Old HG:
>>22700571Uncircumcised. I like watching the skin slide back and forth.
>>22700557You just outed yourself as a bitchboy, larping as someone who gives criticism. When you intentionally hate something, it is nolonger criticism. It is just bitching for the sake of bitching.
>>22700579What kit is that? I want one.
>>22700577Kek
Any recommendations for a decent cheap beater airbrush I can spray 2k clear through and not feel bad if I miss some during cleanup and brick it?
>>22700583It's the grunt suit from Gundam 00, I forgot the name since it's in the early episodes.
>>22700571not relevant to the thread but guys older than me, dominant, white, taller than me, etc. >>22700583>>22700581>>22700591tieren ground type
>>22700583HG Tieren. And yes that pic is not even a meme or joke, it actually only has green and grey runners. It supposed to have 2 bronze colored breast pieces but those are stickers. Old HG is like those tank kits that boomers usually gushing on, just one giant blob of single color with very little efforts put into them from the publisher.
>>22700569The irony :)
>>22700597>n-no you!!1!
The cheap and ugly modern HG with cheap hollow parts, c clip, dull edges vs the soulful old HG with superb color separation, fullfilling parts, top notch polycaps technology and rough, hard edges. Bandai Babbies should return to the roots and by old gen HG because that's what real chad enjoy.
Skill issue. Older kits are fine retard, you just have to put more work into them.
>>22700512in what scenario would you be kitbashing ACs from different gens anyways
>>22700607Then what's your excuses of putting less work into newer kits, then? If you came here to bitch about Bandai bad and shit like that, then no one cares about your opinion.
>>22700601the zowort head looks like a flabbergasted frog wtf
>>22700619Not the first frog mobile suit.
>>22700601Based, make them do the Chad vs Virgin meme
>cold starts disappearing>decide to buy topcoat and try it for the first time>nothing but rain or 70%+ humidity days for 2 monthsI think I angered the snapgods
>>22700593>guys older than me, dominant, white, taller than me, etc.How fucking typical
>>22700628Was this guy a legit pedophile or did he just have pedo vibes, I forget
>>22700641Turn on your air conditioner. It kills off every moistures in the room, even from your own skin. I successfully topcoated my kit using it, and humidity in my place is like 90%
>>22700660>acThe Plight of An European (feat. me)
>>22700648Well in the show, this dude is the pedophile one.
>>22700663Can you send me your mg the o, Luxembourg anon?
>>22700663The road to snapshitting is full of suffering.
>>22700646w-whatis it wrong to like muscular men with deep voices and handsome hairy chests and nice muscles? sorry im not into fat brown manlets>>22700648he can't look like that and not be a pedo
Do you use different colours for panel lining or do you just go all in on black?
>>22700679Black only, I even panel line my black kits with black
>>22700684BASED
>>22700440Did the kit come with stickers?
>>22700679If you want to panel line properly, you'd need what is essentially 2 or 3 shades darker of every color you use on a kit. Because panel lines are supposed to represent where the shade and debries/dust/etc collects between the armor plating of a mecha.That said, most surfaces you can use black. Gold you should use brown.White should be some sort of grey. Never black. If you panel line black on white, you are doing it completely wrong and you disgust me.
Should I pull the trigger?
>>22700701>White should be some sort of grey. Never black. If you panel line black on white, you are doing it completely wrong and you disgust me.What if the panel lines are really thin and you're aiming for an illustration-like style?
>>22700705Why not wait for the superior HG line reprint?>>22700671>not into fat brown manletsBased if a real woman
Just snapshit HG Shive A and i'm surprised by how well engineered it is. Solid and sturdy with none of its main joints being C-Clip. The design also grew on me.
What's the most you've ever spent on a single model kit?What's the most you could ever see yourself spending on one?
>>22700708If you're aiming for that then you're probably painting the whole thing as cel shaded, because's usually how illustration work such as lineart is done.Unless you're doing it manga style, in which case, yeah, sure, paint the whole mecha white and then line every single edge to look like it's drawn.
>>22700723I think you got too many microplastics in your brain from not wetsanding, bro. No one cares about your obsession.
>>22700742>What's the most you've ever spent on a single model kit?~130 (including shipping) usd for the solomon physalis, and i think it was worth it>What's the most you could ever see yourself spending on one?probably 300 dollars MAYBE 350 if it was something i was absolutely in love with
>>22700699It came with the color correcting and foil stickers, it also came with waterslides for the Woundwort. The Re-Zeon waterslides on this are G-Rework
>>22700717>Superior HGThis nigga gets it
>>22700705Yes, the MG is the better version.
>>22700467Both mgs are peak though
>>22700777why is it superior?
>>22700579This guy’s great
>>22700412please don't, you make me hard
>>22700789good luck finding the turn x for less than 200 dollars, let alone anywhere near it's normal priceim just hoping the mg turn a i preordered actually gets shipped reasonably on time so i can get it without worrying it got lost in transit or something
Since it shares like 90% of the same mold anyway, how likely do you think it would be for the Nightseeker II to have all the parts to make the Nightseeker I? I'm thinking of ordering two for that purpose but I don't know if I should go for it.
>>22700815I got mg turn x for like 40 dollars lol
Take the politics talk back to >>>/pol/, this is not the place for it.
>>22700823Everything is as they have foreseen.
>>22700816It would be in character at this point if scamdai cut all the unused pieces off the runners in premium kits, the only thing stopping them is the extra effort it would take
Astray or Unicorn PG?
Not satisfied with the 92% import tax of goods items valued at more than $50, Brazil has now passed a new law taxing goods UNDER $50 as well (around 45%).Fuck this shit. Fuck you fuck you fuck you.I hate this monkey country so much.This might be the last time I buy gunpla and paints for the next couple of years because of this shitty law (I'm not poor, but I refuse to pay almost twice the price for goods that are already overpriced to fuck).I'm probably gonna buy a $1000 worth of gunpla and paints until end of July when this law becomes effective.
>>22700898Leave Brazil nigga damn
>>22700902No way. Other than not being able to get my plastic crack easily, Brazil becoming an even worse shithole works well for me since I work for an American company and get paid in USD, which means that as Brazil gets worse my purchasing power actually increases. Once I tackle my backlog (which feels endless with over 20 kits), I plan to travel to the US or Japan to get more. My bigger concern, though, is paints. I'm running low on MR. Color and Gaia Notes bottles.
>>2270074225k yen for the muv-luv nonscale 00c takemikazuchi kit. They announced the 1.5 kit a month later.After that the next up would be white glint + V.O.B. for about 15k yen total if you count the individual purchases>>22700732Didn't really care for these or anything else in seed freedom but I'm tempted to grab one to paint in Tokai Teio's colors since her race uniform was supposedly the inspiration for them.
>>22700898Was it even worth importing things under $50 before in the first place? Shipping is so expensive now.
>>22700742$250 for PG Unleashed RX-78-2Probably around $750
>>22700895Unicorn is more fun.
>>22700920>Was it even worth importing things under $50 From Japan? No. But from chinese resellers, absolutely.
If you have a bit of change to spare, Volks will be opening up applications for a reprint of their 1/8 Scopedog kit. It can be yours for only 220,000 yen!
>>22700742$251 for PG Perfect Strike
Anon that got the bootleg Woundwort from Aliexpress. Are you around?Would you mind sharing the link?I remember your came with decals at like 9USD and I'm interested
Mobile suit for this feeling?
>>22700910It is a good kit. Grab one if you feel like it, also it checks every boxes of what makes a good kit.
>>22700980https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006648495520.htmlI got it for $9cad, they gave me a discount for my first order lol. I'm the same anon with the Psycho-Blade in the thread, same company makes that one too.
So we're just never getting MGs of the non-Hazel suits are we?
>>22701001Nice. Thanks.
Meanwhile in chinkland
I wish they gave the full Code Geass line another chance. There are some stuff from the movie and Roze that I want kits of. The recent CG HGs seems to be only reserved for nostalgia stuff, and only the Lancelot was even retail.
Has anyone ever build anything from JMS because there's a GM Spartan that was made by two chink brands, JMS and XFS. I already build the XFS one
>>22701047XFS and JMS Spartan kit pictures look identical. Are you sure it's not the same kit but different brand names?
>>22701065The only thing I know that each have different box. I don't know what's the difference between them quality wise. Also JMS now make Zeta III >>22701023
>>22701078I see. Might just be shops using the wrong images. I supposedly have an XMS Spartan on the way.
Found this unlabelled bottle of colorless, odorless, tasteless liquid among my Gunpla supplies. Must've been sitting there for over a year now. How the fuck can I tell what this is? I'm 70% sure it's thinner, but not sure if it's Tamiya, Mr. Color, leveling thinner, etc. Pretty sure it's not hardware store thinner because it would've melted the bottle by now. What choices do I have besides taking this bottle to a chemist? Don't want to throw it away on the chance it's some good leveling thinner.
>>22701122Just compare the smell to other things in your hobby supplies?
>>22701125Smells like nothing else I have. Smells a little sweet I guess but mostly odorless. Touched a bit of the liquid with my fingertips. Stings a little.
Opened the bottle and gave another big whiff. Jesus Christ, I almost fainted. This shit seems odorless, but it's somehow strong. I don't feel so good. Could this be expired thinner? Does thinner even expire? Going to bed.
>>22701129If it gives you a headache but doesn't have a smell it's probably plastic cement or maybe acetone. Put some in a separate container with a piece of junk plastic and see what happens to it.
>>22700576I have this kit but idk if my current skills are up to the task. Gotta practice on more gundamslop first.
>>22701188Can he also gift me fazz ver. ka?
>>22701188weird, got this spam in two threads im following that are completely unrelated
P-Bandai B-Packs soon
>>22701129>Going to bedANON, NO, DON'T FALL ASLEEP!
>>22701249Of course.I swear to god if it comes with a second core fighter...
>>22701249Oh not that Gundam again.
>>22701249Fuck yes. Hope the pack is seperate.
>>22701249>really want this>not american or asianChat am I cooked???
>>22701281yeit's baffling Bandai talks about expanding on global scale at literally every opportunity but has done diddly shit even for america, let alone any other part of the world
>>22701284>for americawe have a p-bandai store and it works great? Shame about every other country in the world that isn't in Asia though.
>>22701305You have a p-bandai store, sure but that's about it.There's been like, what, 3 officially translated manga in recent years? It's hardly devoting resources and effort towards expanding the brand in the west despite what Bandai insists is their current goal.
>>22701249Should've been the A-Packs.
>>22700594>Old HG is like those tank kits that boomers usually gushing on, just one giant blob of single color with very little efforts put into them from the publisher.Probably because you don't see tanks painted 4 fruity ass colors at once. And boomer modelers are actually capable of using glue and paints to assemble and paint/weather models. Your run of the mill armor modeler would wipe the floor with any snapshitted car paint gunpla builder.
>>22701307that's really more of a general manga industry problem. Putting Gundam in theatres and making a Netflix production is expanding the brand in the West. Most manga just don't get translated. There's a lot of it and it's expensive to publish books. We'll need digital manga sales to become more normalized with the only barrier to sale overseas being translation for it to change.
Just snapped up the gouyo, it’s a surprisingly nice kit, refreshing after a ton of gundamsTrying to figure out how ai want to equip it, I think the origin zaku anti-ship rifle works pretty well
Would Bandai build a manufacturing factory of their model kits in outside of Japan a good idea?
>>22701004>Literally have the full thing designed>release it as a nearly 200 dollar metal buildbandai are collectively schizos. simple.
>>22700072Those are some sad colors
>>22700086Yes I do this to promote better capillary action.
>>22700412You mean cut deeper? We might get lucky and you bleed out.
>>22700049Why does Bandai sell bikini part for action figure while censoring bikinis in anime and games, such as Wokuen Idolmaster having ugly burka as "swimsuits" instead of bikinis in predecendants, due to Sweet baby inc? Why is Bandai so double standarded?
>>22701366not here too ffs
oh hey bikini schizo
>>22701366>due to Sweet baby incwhat does this mean?
>>22701370absolutely nothing
>>22701366>Sweet baby incAs far as I know SBI only ruin videogames. But there might be similar group of extortionists that would affect model kits with DEI nonsense.
>>22701381wrong AND wrong, woah
>>22701370Because Gakuen IM@S has burka for every girl in swimsuit event instead of Bikinis in predecendants. It broke the narrative "only Japanese gacha can have bikinis"... I think some consultants must have been involved in Gakuen IM@S to See this falling into Wokem@s, Burk@mas...
>>22701385can i have some of what you're smoking
>>22701384Is 30MS(Waifu bionicle by bandai) bikini part considered safehorny then?
>>22701384>wrongOkay. So they ruin more that just videogames then.
>>22701386Just 0.5L of zero coke.
>>22701366>>22701381>>22701385just go away schizo
>>22701388Unless she's your waifu, stop calling her that newfag.
>>22701390Yeah. GKmas's swimsuit must been censored by wokism. Next love live would be diverse with trans raibu and black raibu.

>>22701399Is 30MP bionicle ripoff?
>>22701399BoxGODS take another win against snapKEKS and paintCHUDS
MGsisters, it's over...
I just finished my first 30MM kit, its pretty neat I turned its backpack into a tiny tank.
>>22701415Is this bionicle ripoff? 30MF obvious looks like bionicle.
>>22701415Anon, please, give your Kampfer some colour correction. At least use the markers.
>>22701424What do you expect of a 30 minute mouthbreather?>>22701400>>22701417It's actually just megablocks
>>22701424One day I will remember to buy some paint or markers instead of more kits then I will do it.
>>22701428I'll keep reminding you every single time you post your stuff
>>22701337i mean, Tamiya has been manufacturing model kits in the Philippines for 30 years now, so yeah. i'm actually surprised Bandai isn't doing the same for their plamo.
>>22701415looks nice, anon
>>22701337>>22701436SD EX-standard and Three kingdoms stuff are made in China. (which is why they don't use the SDCS frames, their molds are in JP)Kits from Toy/Gashapon/Candy departments like Ganso SD and Minipla have always been made in China.
>>22700467Is that a For The Barrel Turn A?

>>22701249A-Packs when
>>22701497An ugly one to boot.
>>22701047>I already build the XFS oneHow is the XFS one? I wanted to buy a few for army building but the suspiciously low price makes me wary for the quality.
>>22701047from what I hear the JMS one is higher qualityapparently if Bandai is 10, JMS is 9 and XFS is like 7/8not a huge difference when you get to it, but they're evidently different companies so it's kinda funny they did this at the same time
>>22701497>She is just an 18 meters tall robot, you monster!
>>22701415>>22701417Keetongu?
>>22701427The way you subhuman faggots bitch about 30MM will never not being funny to me.>Anon, please, give your Kampfer some colour correction. At least use the markers.NTA but Kampfer is a giant blue blob. Even the MG looks like that.
>>22701417Gundam is a bionicle ripoff. Imagine snapfitting your modelkit when you are supposed to glue the parts together like the old days.

>>22701595you fucking snowflakes named a day after yourselves?
>>22701585Kampfer 2.0 pls
>>22701578Don't lump me in with the Bionicle autist, I'm just a humble snapshitter.
It always makes me smile remembering the MG Mk-V was slated to be a retail release but got moved to P-Bandai at the last second just to BTFO poorfags.
>>22701504I want it to happen
>>22701585Cry harder 30 minute nigger. Go play with your megablocks little gay boy.
>>22701610NTA but it seems you are the one crying. He’s not changing the kampfer and there’s nothing you can do about it. Cope seethe etc
>>22701613I don't give a fuck about the Kampfer lol I just think you're a 30mm fag
>>22701607Get better bait
>>22701585>Even the MG looks like that.are you retarded? with just a glance at the mg vs your snapshitted hg it's obvious that the crotch and chest thrusters are color separated on the mg but unpainted and blue on your hg
Okay, but what about Full Armor ZZ
>>22701004I don’t care if it’s more lineart accurate, something about the proportions look off compared to the HG. still pretty good looking though
>>22701646Its just less cool than the FAZZ, but honestly I dont particularly like any version of the ZZ
>>22701628>implying it's baitBruh I literally just got this reborn 100 hummer hummer for like a hundred euro bucks that's just gonna sit in my box fort. I am literally NEETmaxxed af and buying rare and expensive kits all the time, I don't see how there are so many poorfags who can't buy actually competitively priced kits on P-Bandai. I guess I'm just spoiled being from the richest country in the world where everyone is just casually driving luxury cars and wearing perfectly tailored designer clothes.
>>22701654Very cool anon, let us know when you get good at painting
>>22701661new thread guy thought my WIP was good enough to be the op image. and everyone actually posted in it. I finally got my own thread. And then I had ANOTHER painted build that new thread guy made the op image too. how many of your builds has new thread guy picked to be the thread image?
>>22701662>made the op imagefucking kek, you're absolutely retarded
>>22701666you didn't answer my question.i'm already a better painter than 99% of this general. people told me this before i revealed i was luxemchad.
>>22701662>h- he made me the OP image, t-that means it's good, right anons? Right?So tired of newfags
>>22701669Okay mompuncher, whatever helps you sleep at night.
>>22701671cope
>>22701662anon he just picks the last one in the thread
>>22701662idk 6 or 7 ish maybe
>>22701654That's really funny coming from you who had to buy a shitty Chinese bootleg of The O because you can't afford a Bandai one
I wish they sold V-thor's odachi as an MSG part..
>>22701684Just buy one from Amazon, recast the sword parts with resin and return the package for a refund. EZ
>>22701595oh wow, you save a measly 10~15% off of...plamo paint? no local stores here are willing to do massive discount sales unless it's kyoukai senki shit
You do play with your toys right anons?
What's the best (US) site to buy Mr. Hobby stuff if the only hobby shop near me is a Hobby Lobby? I want top coat. Preferably with fast shipping, soon it'll be too humid to do anything.
>>22701697aztoyhobby or Burbank's House of Hobbies. They always have stuff in stock and at competitive prices. Galactictoys is good too but shipping is more expensive.

>>22701712Does Katoki even use panel line that much? I think it is more like a Yanase's thing.
>>22701715Bull G is not a Gundam. Lore-wise, it is Guncannon 3 but the head was decorated to inflate the retail price.
>>22701717I don't care that Ohtagaki has no creative ideas, it's clearly meant to evoke the style of "bulky post-OYW Gundam"
>>22701718Its body is literally just a Guncannon-type MS.
>>22701695
>>22701724doesn't look like it, it's literally just a big jumble of squares with a v-fin on top ike any Thunderbolt gundambesides, if it's called a gundam it's a gundam and "Bull-G" is halfway there already
>>22701662like 4 or 5its not hard when only 1 build gets posted per thread for the past 2 years and he just picks the 1 build from the last thread
>>22701727The story literally stated that it is a Guncannon. The manufacturer just decorated its face into more Gundam-like in order to inflate its price.
>>22701727Bull-G(uncannon)
>>22701732you're not even reading my replies are you
>>22701311>>22701504Given that MG Narrative-C just released literally last month, announcing a P-Bandai add-on to it so quickly is already quite remarkable. The B-Packs is a lot smaller and easier to plan and get into manufacturing.Unfortunately, add-ons of this size for 1/100 scale simply don't happen (for example we still don't have MG Meteor Unit or MG GN Arms after literal decades), so I wouldn't get my hopes up unless some Chinese company does it or someone makes a 3D print.>>22701497She's in her 20's by the time the main story happens.

>>22701751>what if I stole the joke from Crossbone and made it worse?god I fucking hate Thunderbolt
Place your bets

What are some kits I should look into if I love the silhouette of a bunch of thrusters sprouting out from behind?The Deep Striker would be nice but it's way too pricey.

Bought it just because the box looks pretty.

>>22701802How is that small? It towers even Psycho Gundam.
>>22701777>>22701780Thank you anons
>>22701818now post your feet
>>22701774Very pretty! Does the kit come with the ReZeon decals?

RE gp04 or RG hi-nu?
>>22701836I will choose the RE gp04 anytime of the day, mainly because it will never be reprinted again while RG Hi-Nu will be reprinted until the end of time and you can buy it no problems at all.
>>22701839great advice and good point, thanksnewtype has a restock on the gp04 fwiw
>>22700936That's kick ass. I'd love to have the fuckhuge box sitting around forever.
Finaly, I broke down and overpaided for an RG Crossbone. Hope it's really a good kit
>>22701877it's fantastic but why overpay for it?
>>22701359The red is brighter and flashier now, exactly what I wanted, applied some clear red over it. I'll keep the blue as it is. I tried to get a red/purple on the second spoon but it looks the same as the regular red
>>22701881Really had an itch to build it this weekend so I ordered from Amazon. free next day shopping got me
whats the best vallejo paint match for the kind of off white on the dagger L?(Would post pic but my files always come out corrupted for some reason)
>>22701883don't worry, you'll enjoy it. just don't hamhand it bc some of the pieces are on the small side
>>22700056I'm still working on a base for this thing. It holds the swords alright for a few photos but over time him arms will droop. I'm trying to use clear acrylic to connect the swords by their mounting points but keep it as hidden as possible. It the meantime the swords prop it up well in a standing pose.
goddamn it, I dont think nightstalkers vthor is gonna get reprinted and Im thinkin of just dropping my shit and getting at 130usd one at amazon as punishment for being a poorfag when it was in print.
>>22700056>>22701908
>>22700056>>22701908I also gave all my balls a once-over, just need to spray some varnish on their armor.
>>22701910Very nice. Why not use the base included with the kit for one sword ?
>>22701918It only reaches as high as the head and for the pose I want to use it's not tall enough. I'll be giving the stand to my F91 which will free up its bigger action base 5 for a kit that needs a bigger base and will also match the bases I've been using for my F90 kits.
MG Haze'n-thley when?

Is there any reason I should go out of my way to use surfacer to prime? I have some being shipped, but I just want to get to painting with what I already have. If I do a decent job sanding, just using a gloss black should be fine, right?
>>22701962uhhh gunpla shortage again?
>>22701962>Kshatriya shortageShould I grab 2 more before this goes out of stock?
>>22701962>you see, it's absolutely critical we make as many kits as possible p-bandai, there's no way the distributors and stores would want more stuff on their shelves in this situation!
>>22701964if you're using lacquers and are talking about ps/abs and not something like resin or pom then yes you can safely skip priming. i often use normal ass gloss black mr color gx as "primer" for metallics (it's the same price per ml as surfacer 1500 anyway) over plastic pieces that don't need any surface work and have never had issues with stuff like adhesion and chipping (some people say this is a problem when not priming even when using lacquers, but that is not my experience) because the lacquer thinner keys into ps and abs.on resin you absolutely need primer and surface prep.water based acrylics absolutely need primer.
>>22701969Thank you, anonymous, very informative.I'm not working with resin yet. Unfortunately, the resin kits I'm interested in are incredibly difficult to find, even if I did find them, I certainly wouldn't paint them until I don't have to ask questions like this.
>>22701958I took my pick from IBO and it was Gundam Flauros which was not worse. You should have provided a worse name like I asked.
>>22701940>Another retard forgot that watership down is required reading
>>22701995i love Ghost so much
>>22701995Those flame effects are cool, and is that metallic plating? Might have to buy this...
>>22701999>metallic platingImagine the nub marks
>>22702002it's undergatedunknown technology, I know
>>22702004Fuck
>>22701999It's P-Bandai and retailed for like 7k yen, so you're probably out of luck unless you wanna pay scalped prices. Pretty cool for an HG though
>>22702008I kinda hate Crossbone is mostly focused on HGs while all other late UC stuff is F90 MGs and a few RE/100s. I'd kill for a MG Phantom and Ghost. Even better if we get Anchor and variants down the line, could reuse the mold for F89 and it has a few variants too.
>>22702008PB HATE
why is the polycap cracking like that what the fuck fuck
>>22701995ew
>>22699748These four will be retail.
>>22702020you know what? fuck it, do itit will shut up people that insist p-bandai releases make sense and are logical
>>22702004it's funny because you get shitty ass cheapo chink kits and cheapo old jp kits from the 00s that have undergating, yet bandai still can't manage it as standard .or, well, deliberately chooses not to, because they absolutely can and it clearly doesn't add as much to engineering costs as bandai shills would have you believe since chinks and 2000s manufacturers managed it just fine for their cheapo kits
>>22702024evidently whatever engineering costs and troubles it leads to are worth more than what they'd gain from having that as standardor rather, that's what Bandai thinks and they have repeatedly proven to not be a logical actor
>>22701679Was Furuya Chad too?
>>22701993I know what it's from jackass, doesn't make it a good name for a mobile suit

>>22701962>>22701965>>22701967It's a "Buy 1, Get 2 Free, Pay the Highest Price" kind of deal. In other words, the exact opposite. They have a surplus of unsold kits, so they're finding a way to get them off their hands by packing two random unsold kits with a more popular kit.

>>22702311You can get one for like $80 on eBay right now, which is basically the same price as it was on the US P-Bandai store
>>22702259I really do need to book a flight to Japan.
>>22702306Gunpla shelfwarms hard these days. As much as people love to complain about P-Bandai, moving these kits is not easy for retailers, and they're especially unhappy if the kit is taking up a ton of space in the meantime (hence no retail MGs)
>>22702316Bandai should like...start sending those excess kits to overseas stores or something! that would solve their issue with old shelfwarming kits hogging up space. I remember not that long ago, some places complained that they would order like 5-10 copies of a kit and bandai would not fulfill that order completely and send them maybe like 3. people were also posting pics of aisles full of reprinted kits in Japanese stores all while non jap posters were complaining about being unable to find those said kits in their local store restocks. Bandai should probably give HLJ and other online retail stores that ship globally more gunpla stock if shit's fucking shelfwarming in Japanese stores. I've had a ton of backordered kits sitting for 2 years now and none of them were fulfilled because either HLJ never got enough to fulfill 2+ years worth of customer backorders or HLJ just never received reprints of those kits cause all of it went to "Japan only" places.

>>22702329Japan has a shortage of kits taht they have slowly been recovering from due toand scalpers are quickly figuring out which items can be flipped or will shelf warm in their storage.There are scores hg sazabi, hg nu gundam, eg nu gundam, RG epyon,wing MGs, HG chaos, hguc guntank, hguc zeong, and PG kits shelfwarming all over japan currently. Like only the Zeta Ver ka and Narrative and now the sinanju stein nt ver ka are plentiful because Bandai specifically over produced those to combat scalpers. There is literally more variety of kits in random us or hong komg store compared to Gundam Base now.
>>22702471Anyone compared how tall the sword joint arm for the NG is compared to the Option Parts Set? Remember, the old backpack can use an optional piece from the EX Model Gundam SEED Mecha Set to let the sword sit flush on top of the Skygrasper.

What did they mean by this?
Everyone here really wanted this, right? I hate the MS so it's a no-go for me, but I've seen so many people pissed that it's a P-Bandai kit when it should be retail.
>>22702558I would rather have an MG dagger or windam.
>>22702569With how many people got mad at how we got the Strike Dagger as P-Bandai for HG, they should make that for MG as retail, with the Ace Dagger (again, I refuse to call it the 105 Dagger) and Dagger L with Doppelhorn Striker as P-Bandai variants.

I heard that quite recently, Bandai have been running into economic trouble recently, and many of their product is getting cut(like digimon and plamo, which the variety product seem to be shrinking) , and they have been doubling down on bad decision alot.How true are these rumors?
>>22702682Not.Thanks to Witch and Freedom it's been their most profitable year so far and by quite a margin iirc.

Anyone have experience with Motor Nuclear kits? I'm liking some of the 2024 lineup they are teasing but dunno if they are cheap chink shit or what.

>>22702329Are you dumb? They're also overstocked here. Every gunpla retailer in NA constantly has sales for 15-25% off. There were multiple sites offering 20% off on instock items this past week

>>22702558Gundiver when?
How are moderoid kits now? I saw that a lot of cool kits were announced a week ago but I only ever hear about the kits from 3 years ago.
>>22702558Yes I want it, but I have the Custom one already and I just spent 1000 on a >fucking gun
>>22702884Mogged by Bandai
best way to organize the part holder things?
>>22703113a pile
>>22702884The best comparison aren't standard "something something Grade" Bandai kits but their SMP ones to the point where I wouldn't be surprised if they come from the same factories in China.
>>22703113Spread them out on your bed (alphabetically)
>5 years since the first 30MM kitIt does not feel that long... where did the time go anons?
>>22703175nah that seems about right, they feel like they've been around forever but also recent
>>22703175the covid years just went by in an instant
>>22703113part holder... things?runners?
I need to thin my paints for brushpainting. How much thinner should I mix with paint to properly do It? Is there a "thinner to paint ratio" or something?I use Italeri acrylic paints and thinner
>>22703225Just use Vallejo mecha color its thin enough to do thin coats pretty much unthinned (or just with a drop or two of water from a pipet).
>>22703230sheeeeesh my guy lookin mad fresh on the rizz no skibidi bro
>>22703209the things that hold the parts and you use the cutty things to detach them
>>22703291just stack them vertically in alphabetical order in the kit's box
>>22702688Original Justice is peak soul. I dolike the legs on the immortal justice.
I found a Zeta Plus Gundam C1 for like $86. What should I expect?
>>22703360A beautiful mobile suit. I think someone here built one recently.
>>22703360a good kit if you like how it looks, but fucking hell I would never pay that much for a nromal sized retail MG
>>22700056Now that I'm done psycho-blade I'm back to working on the GP01 I started before doing another TR-6. I'll probably get the rest of the detail painting done tomorrow but the scheme looks pretty nice so far I think.
>>22703379This GP01fb's not just for show!
>>22703379This reminds me of the Linkin Park GP01.
>>22703375I normally wouldn't pay that much too but I like the aesthetic
>>22703364Yeah there's something about Zeta mobile suits that looks really beautiful.
is this a good price? I wanna get the Aqua Hambrabi cause it looks nice
>>22703405The only person that can decide if its worth the money is you, if you want it enough then its worth the money.
I figured I'd paint my MSD Full Armor Gundam in the (traditional) RX-78-1 color scheme, but I wanted to get a beam javelin for it. Is pic related the most realistic option to get a 1/144 javelin? There's also a EM'S O.D Beam Javelin kit I saw but it was a limited edition product so most have +120% Gunpla tax in them now, though I did find some cheap prices. The later is made in a clear pink-purple injection.
Did they make a mistake with making the HG line for the G-witch kits really good? I just finished the Calibarn, and the build really is RG level.
>>22703411The thunderbolt ground gundam had a beam javelin if thats any better.
>>22703414it's not
>>22703405>$87 CAD for a HG kitThat's probably twice what it should cost, even for P-Bandai. Unless it's a kit that you regularly see in your wet dreams, not something I'd spend that amount on.
>>22703415That is helpful info, if it comes with the more classic sphere javelin end I might go for that one.
>>22703405I could probably sell you at one half the price
>>22703416It is.
>>22703414G-Witch HGs are so overrated.
>>22703428>30 minute mouthbreather absolutely baffled by regular HG
>>22703431>smoothbrain retard so mindbroken he cant appreciate a really good kit.
>>2270275410/10 I love him, my only hope is that the calrea was clearly based off the Crossbone Vanguard suits so at least okawara remembers
>>22703431Are you that same snapfaggot who bitched about 30MM's C Clips and peg holes a few threads ago? The attitude seems similar.
>>22703414I feel like people give RG too much credits. They were a novelty back when HG was still primitive and ugly. Nowadays, people starting to realize that a strong, sturdy modelkit is better than a floppy mess with a pretty face-Exactly what an RG is.
>>22703446You're the smooth one if you can't see that it is nothing at all like any single RG kit in existence. Surface detail, frame detail, parts size, parts count, all nothing alike. I'm not saying it is a bad kit or that I dislike it, it is just not at all like an RG. So either you haven't actually built the Calibarn, or you haven't actually built an RG. Faggot.>>22703490No, I don't give a fuck about C clips or pegholes. I just think they're the ultimate snapfag "kit" and are more akin to Megablocks than models, even moreso than the average HG.
>>22703416NTA, alot of RGs visually similar to its HG counterpart, but with better color separation and stuff. Nowadays, HG have come a long way with better looking plastic, articulation, color separation but with inflated price and bigger box as a result.
>>22703507>they're the ultimate snapfag "kit" Sorry to break it for you anon but RG and MG are the actual snapfag type of kit. You don't have work with it much in order to make it look good, unlike 30mm and HG, they look quite ugly OOB and requires alot of efforts to make them presentable.
>>22703507>Surface detail, frame detail, parts size, parts countNot same anon but RG are just HG with topcoat. Only snapfags feel intimidated by the large quantity of runners and parts. I have built stuff much bigger.
>>22703507>seething smoothbrain can't accept that HG is catching up in quality for how much cheap and accessible it is.Plastic quality alone pretty much mogs most of the RG line.
>>22703542I remember bunch of snapfags bitched about RG Zeta and Sinanju. Aside from better color separation, quality wise they are bootleg chinese kit level. I dare to say alot of modern HGs have better quality.
Saying G Witch HG line is on the same quality as RG is an insult to HG line itself. https://youtu.be/lRAYXzlR4iE?feature=shared
>>22703405notahobbyshop in markham apparently has a bunch of those as dead stock and are selling them at a very good price if you want it
>>22703507MG and PG are actual leap in details and parts compares to HG. RG is just whatever, they are more or less renewal releases of overly outdated HG.
>>22703499>a strong, sturdy modelkit is better than a floppy mess with a pretty faceBut that's wrong?
>>22703499Modern RGs are the sturdiest kits ever what the fuck? Whwnever RGs get brought up there’s so much cope for some reason.
>>22703630I just dont like the scale compared to the amount of detail, it looks too busy and awkward
>>22703630RGs are likely the grade most likely to filter people who are used to only doing HG. Likely because of how many more parts get shoved into the same space and how poorly people actually clean up cuts. Just look at something like the RG Zeta. It's no where near as bad as most people make it out to be with the amount of bitching it gets if everything was cleaned properly so it fits correctly.
>>22703630Your average western gunpla builder is a hamhanded retard, look at how many people break the RG Unicorn's shoulders because they can't follow the instructions.
>>22703789The Unicorn's shoulders? I thought people were breaking the RG Sazabi's shoulders.
>>22703796A lot of people twist the wrong the part of the upper arm
>>22703800Wow. Did not know that.
>>22703800I'm not an RG builder (HG/FG/NG detailer) but that is literally how most of the 2000s HGs twist their upper arm. Have these fuckers never built a kit before?
>>22703735What would Brian Boitano do if he were here right now.
Should I just go for Raser Plus for general use? Or I should consider the Origin for some niche issues I might encounter.
>>22703968
>>22703630RG's are usually associated with this 4-letter meme acronym, that's why it has that notoriety for being finicky compared to the other simpler lines like HG
>>22703812>>22703800seriously though, the way the armor is designed there should be enough hint that you're not supposed to twist near the elbow.
>22704093That’s dumb, though. It’s like saying HGs suck because of the HG RX-78-2 that came out in 1990 or that MGs suck because of the MG Unicorn and the V2 Gundam Ver Ka. Braindead behavior.
>>22704140Except majority of RG Unicorn were rather new. Sinanju was 2016 and Unicorn was 2017 i believe. RG is just a downgrade in term of engineering.
>>22703796Both Unicorn and Sinanju fall apart like autumn leaves after sometimes. Just like how Zaku Aurelius shown, these kits are snapfaggot tier because they look good OOB, but have no merits of their own.
>>22703718RGs are overdetailed for any scale, everything up to PGs should have HG levels of detail only
bargain bins in japan are fucking unfair I'm seething so much
>>22704227the 1:1 statues should have the same level of detail as the 80's toys for it to be acceptable.
details jumpscare
>>22704271AIEEE PLS TAKE IT DOWN MY NARRATIVE IS BEING RUINED
something about this is really fucking funny
>>22704292God I hate sleeves gimmick
About to get get picrel? How bad is it compared to the hg?
>>22704309pretty rough, can't even hold up the shieldlooks good though and that's all that mattersalso the old CG boxarts will never not be funny
>>22704309This guy has one of the like ~5 actually good chinese bootlegs that you should probably look into if you want a better version but 90s/early 2000s mgs are interesting to work on in their own right so just have fun
>>22704292"Couldn't include cuffs and lance with the first release, small mom & pop company prease understand."
>>22704336The original design never even had them so of course not.
>>22704332I don't like the look of the solomon physalis and I find all the gimmicks to be wildly excessive and tasteless
>>22704358it's literally just GP02 you fucking child
>>22704367too much raised detail that weakens the suit's silhouette
>>22704372Just sand it down and fill unwanted panel lines with putty
>>22704367Given the nature of some of the posters here and the blind obsession with mid 2000s HGs, someone saying dumb shit like "excessive gimmicks" probably just means "too advanced for me to handle".>>22704372Like that, put in the fucking effort if you don't like the detailing or learn what silhouette actually means.
>>22704373why wouldn't I just buy the original in that case
>>22704378so quit bitching and buy it
>>22704292Saw there was someone printing zeon sleeves on esty, I wonder how bandai feels about that.
>>22704387just like bajillions of other things people print and/or sell files for, they don't seem to give a shitjust like bootlegs and unlicensed resin kits they're a drop in the bucket for them
New thread>>22704389>>22704389>>22704389
>>22704373>>22704376NOOOOOOOOOO you have to buy the hecking bootleg because I said so! You have to sand off half of the mass of the kit! Otherwise you're a fake modeler!
Any Brazilians around? I need some help.What are our alternatives to Gaia Notes or Mr. Color lacquer paints now that a 10ml bottle costs a ludicrous $15?Car paint maybe? I don't know of any Brazilian lacquer paint brands.Do Brazilians just not use lacquer paints?What the fuck do artists use around here??
>>22704511You faggots keep contradicting yourself. You don't want to work with early HG or 30mm because they don't look good oob and requires too much work, but then you praise RG and MG as true builder kit, despite how they were obviously designed for snapshit. The point of modeling is to improve an ugly barebones kit, not making ugly fanfiction shit that no one cares.
