>>22722012I am working on a display case for my gunpla. I've posted before. Due to some unfortunate circumstances I will need to cut this bottom part and re-glue it because I lacked a tool to make my job easier and running an 8 foot board through a table saw is a bit difficult. I will post results when finished.

Why come F91s are so small, to the point where a MG F91 is the size of a HG from the later parts of early UC?
>>22722182i dunno google it dipshit, it's been answered literally thousands of times
>>22722153One day...
>>22722183>you arent allowed to have ANY discussion in this threadfuck off retard.
>>22722187you're not very smart are you
>>22722188ad hominem
>>22722182tomino likes smaller mechs so pitched it to bandai they saw an opportunity to use less plastic in kits while keeping them in a scale that matches their other products and said ok
>>22722197How important actually is using less plastic in kits? Like right now at least, the difference in costs is probably like less than 50 cents.
>>22722182As technology progresses it miniaturizes. Also war doctrine changes whether it be due to necessity or experience.
>>22722201it was the 90s, they were just coming off the economic boom of the 80s and companies needed to reduce costs (however little) because of the crashing economy
>>22722207True enough, big mechs/tanks look cool but what everyone actually wants is the most compact mech/tank possible that can fulfil its battlefield role with the added bonuses of being easy to transport, harder to hit, etc.
>>22722208I just found this chart thing of Gundam merchandise sale data. The Y axis represents unit sales in the tens of thousands. I guess if you sell 6 million Gundams and save 50 cents (I just got this number out of my ass but whatever) on each, you're saving 3 million bucks.
>>22722209I really do want an MG Xi though. That dumb bastard Katoki better deliver. bandai without question relegated MG to him.
>>22722201It's not important at all and I call bullshit because bandai proceeded to put out the most large kits in the earlier years.
>>22722211this is why bandai cheaps out on everything and keeps getting worse at it. those different fixed pose hands you no longer get in HGs? even if they only cost 1 cent each, when you're producing millions of units it adds up
>>22722215>it adds upOkay? They get that money back regardless because they're selling a product.
>>22722216it eats into your margins and the japanese economy is completely in the shitter and hasn't stopped tanking for like 5 years
>>22722218bandai continues to report record breaking profits every year. I am pretty sure when the covid LOCKDOWNS were happening they were still reporting record breaking profits.
>>22722220guess all those cost cutting measures are keeping their margins high. gotta keep making record profits every year or the investors will kick up a fuss
>>22722225That's why it's pretty upsetting seeing some of pic related going on. Here you can chalk it up to underageb& trolling but on other sites these people really are cultists.
>>22722153>doesn't put any love into building any of them>just straight builds them from the box and puts them in a static pose on a shitty storage shelfThe emotion I feel here is not envy for the "builder," but pity for the Gunpla.
>>22722247oh get a fucking grip
>>22722225Fuck the investors bro. They’re always fucking shit up.
>>22722209>>22722212Reminder that the MSs around Xi's time were only so big because they had just barely miniaturized the Minovsky Craft System enough to fit in a huge MS.
>>22722272publicly traded companies and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race
>>22722247*tips fedora
>>22722274Oh is that why the Xi and Penelope can fly around like that in atmosphere?
>>22722287Wait what happened?
>>22722283Yep. The Penelope is the prototype, with an external flying armor equipped onto a giant gundam to wear and power it, while the Xi "miniaturized" all of that into one integrated gundam >>22722274Crazy to think the victory does it in a tiny MS. And according to Tomino the F91 had it too
>>22722283they literally say it in the movie

>>22722287>>22722296is this why he supported the nazis
>>22722274Reminder that by the time of G-Savior, miniaturization fell out of favor because small suits were seen as fragile and it was too expensive to build them
>>22722304The Freedom is still smaller than usual, at 17m, and the Bugu is 16.4m to the head. They're just not small small like the Victory. The high-end Zanscare suits in Victory were also larger, like the Zanneck which was 19m or the Rig Contio which was 16.3m, similar to the Bugu.

I have tried mr color ueno black and gaia ex gloss black, both never really come out glossy, I don't know if it's because of the primers I use (tried gaia evo black/gray and mr color 1500 black/gray) or other factors. Today I applied 3 to 4 coats of clear gloss on black parts and they look very glossy, exactly what I want. But when I see videos of people using the same paints it comes out very glossy without them applying gloss clear layers. What am I doing wrong ? And also would mixing black with clear gloss result in a glossier black or is it a bad idea ?
>>22722398https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZNIIMteKsU
>>22722347Who owns G-Savior? Why can't we just get a quick couple OVAs or movie? The mobile suit designs are fine.
>>22722407Yeah it's easy to get a gloss finish if you just blast 20 wet coats on a spoon
>>22722408Because absolutely nobody other than contrarians on /m/ gives a single fuck about G-Saviour
>>22722416>contrarians
>>22722407That's basically what I do, I get pretty glossy finishes on white and other colors, but with the black I just can't do it, it always ends up being more semi gloss. Oh well I'll practice more, I have a couple black parts to paint next
>>22722159mine is zero
>>22722408>Who owns G-SaviourBandai-Sunrise, who else? It's a black sheep and nothing will ever come of it, a turn of the millenium project that was ultimately a fine enough sci-fi B movie but it got no great reception, became a running joke in the burgeoning Western fandom for years afterwards that it was produced for, and so exists as just that interesting project they did 25 years ago.
>>22722393thank you for this information, as an anti-bandai canadian terrorist, I will use him against bandai
>>22722451>who else?No idea. There's always fucky licensing issues with these things apparently. I was told we can't get Gaia Gear because despite banrise owning it there's something to do with licensing with one guy that works or used to work for them? I doubt bandai would have any shame against taking the mobile suites, retconning everything in GSavior and shitting out a movie or OVA to then re-sell the HGs or make modern version of them.
>>22722460Don't believe anything about rights related crap unless it's in regards to Sentinel. We won't get Gaia Gear because people aren't interested in it. There are no rights issues that really impede shit. If in some universe Gaia Gear was actually an incredible story everyone loved that bookended Tomino's classical gundam era characters and themes like Hathaway's Flash, we might, but it doesn't and people didn't love it so much so it too is just an oddball project written over 30 years ago. Enjoy it for what it is. Why would they rip suits from properties no one gives a shit about? They have no shortage of Mobile Suits people actually want to make models of. They don't need to even think of G-Saviour. Not like they really care about "canon" in the way English speakers do.
>>22722012Found hidden treasure in an old box. Gonna try to rehab it with some clean up and a fresh paint job. Only problem is I’m missing one part. That’s this little nubbin in the shoulder that is a cylinder with a tab on top, that the wing binders slot onto. Any suggestions to replicate that without just cementing the damn wing into a fixed position?
>>22722464>We won't get Gaia Gear because people aren't interested in itI don't believe that for one second when bandai is putting out a-z of f90. You're telling me there would be zero interest in a notGundam like pic related? Heavy doubt. Let's even take Heavy metal L-Gaim - there's more interest in that that bandai can put out kids? Sincerely doubt it.>Why would they rip suits from properties no one gives a shit about?You must work for bandai anon, you clearly have no concept of easy money. Explains why we're getting cancer Gundam and cancer Zaku out of the blue...
>>22722464>like Hathaway's Flashthe novel or the movie
>>22722419>>22722398for gloss you do a mist coat and then a wet coat, like wet almost to the point of pooling. use leveling thinner as it lets you spray like a retard and the retarder will fix it for you.if you aren't getting gloss, to the point you can see the filaments of the light bulb on the paint, you are doing something wrong. turn down your psi to like 15 or even lower. spray closer to the part. move across the part slower. thin the paints more. one of those things is probably fucking you up. also don't test for gloss on spoons. they are perfectly polished and curved so that it's easier to get gloss on there than on an actual gunpla piece.
>>22722474L-Gaim was a fairly popular anime 40 years ago at least with some SRW appearances, also Nagano himself is still quite popular amongst the modelling scene. Gaia Gear is an obscure LN/Audio Drama that has been out of print for 30 years and has only had 1 cameo in recent times.
>>22722482And what about F90? There are loads of things these companies produce that shouldn't be popular. I'm real tired of this excuse on bandai's behalf all the time.>it was popular 40 years ago
>>22722474The entire Formula era was, indeed, much more well received and has a bigger fanbase than Gaia Gear, absolutely. That's why we are seeing those kits now, yeah, and they have had a broader push towards UC stories towards that era. It is, afterall, what happens next after HF. AoZ has been pushing Mars stuff too. So much has been, recently, focusing on how the connections from early to late UC work. Twilight Axis was perhaps the first overt work we got to do so, but it's far from alone now.And yes, L-Gaim is more popular than Gaia Gear. Gaia Gear designs are rad. I love them. The Zorin Soul is my favourite machine in the whole franchise. Most people still don't care. The designs are also extremely complicated and would not be so simply to produce for a property, again, no one cares about really. That's the reality.
>>22722418It's a dogshit movie and if you look at any aggregation thingy you'll see that most people agree. Most people agreeing isn't why it's dogshit, but it's proof that liking it is a minority opinion. 4.2/10 on IMDb. I don't think I have the resources to prove to you conclusively that people on 4chan tend to have contrarian tendencies but if you disagree with that I can only conclude you're proving my point that they do. Therefore it's not unreasonable to assert that liking G-Saviour on 4chan is an act of contrarianism.
>gundam is basically a toy commercial>advertise a gundam in the toy commercial>there are no toys of itWHAT THE FUCK I HATE THIS SHIT. Banrise is one big tease.
>>22722486Nobody said the movie is good you illiterate yuppie. I said the mobile suit designs are fine. Why you're triggered about this, I don't know.
>>22722479Thanks for the long answer. I get pooling often if I try going close so distance might be the issue. Also when I spray the black, it's super gloss once I'm done, but it loses its glossiness as it dries. I sprayed white the same way and got a very glossy result without having to apply more gloss clear, I'm getting that problem mainly with black paints so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The glossiest I ever managed to spray is the alclad black base, this one doesn't lose its glossiness as it dries
>>22722488my brother in christrump he's not talking about the designs. he's saying that we aren't going to get more g-savior animations because normies don't and have never gave a fuck about that trash movie even if it has cool robots. that ship has sailed.
>>22722488You asked for more G-Saviour media you illiterate yuppie >>22722408 implying you like it
>>22722497>doubles down on being a single digit IQ retardI said that I want banrise to retcon the movie, shit out some cheap new stuff so they can produce more of the kits. What a fantastic combination of a person you are, mad AND stupid.
How's the Moderoid Big O? And are there any chances for other Big O kits from them? Would love a Big Duo/Duo Inferno
"Posable" hands on RGs gotta be one of the silliest ideas Bandai had. God those things are not good
>>22722503I think you have actual diagnosable autism for being able to seriously assume people can read your mind and somehow divine that you meant the opposite of what you said.
>>22722503Banrise has almost never gone back to a failed project and redone it. They didn't do it with F91 for example and there's a lot more people asking for crossbone animations than there are for g saviour. If they are going to start a new project they will just make new designs. They don't care if good designs are stuck in a bad show, they aren't going to recycle them just to get them more publicity.
>>22722506>RGs gotta be one of the silliest ideas Bandai hadI agree, that line was a mistake
>>22722507>people can read your mindI'll make it easier for you then, read the fucking thread.
G-Saviour already has a kit. Honestly, these old HGs aren't even that bad. You just have to put some work into them.
>>22722508>They didn't do it with F91So F91 is a failed project, but we have modern F91 kits?
>>22722514normies actually care about f91.
>>22722517>>227225141.7 million voters put f91 as the 9th best Gundam. G-Saviour probably wouldn't even crack the top 100.
>>22722519And MG G Self was voted as the next requested MG. Can we bring the goalposts back to the game or are you going to use them elsewhere? I think we've cycled through about 6 different arguments screeching about why these obscure failed series from 40 years ago are okay but this obscure failed series from 30 years ago isn't.
>>22722520You are completely retarded. The point is that failed series can still sell merchandise. They aren't going to remake a failed show with good designs for this reason. Also, if F91 isn't getting new animations when it's much more well known than g-saviour, then g-saviour is fucked.
>>22722511That post was filtered for me for some reason. I will concede. There's no fucking way that's gonna happen though.
>>22722513The problem isn't the quality (which is actually rather good for its time but definitely has flaws), the problem is the availability or the lack of it. Sure, it pops up on Mandarake once in a while but paying solid MG prices for what's a mediocre HG kit isn't great.
>>22722526just stop being poor. there was an anon here a while back who paid $120 for it from amazon scalpers and he doesn't even gaf because he's got fat stacks of cash.
>>22722528that just makes him a giant fucking dummy
>>22722528I have fat stacks and I refuse to buy marked up kits. How do you think I got my fat stacks? A penny saved is a penny earned, my friend.
>>22722506That inner frame twisty bits can go fuck itself to hell.
>Find out there is a second Broly kit at the same time my hobbyshop gets a bunch of old 1/100 kits in for cheap. I guess the Muscle Zaku is getting a buddy.
Is there an "early MG syndrome" similar to early RG syndrome but for MGs made before 2007?
>>22722535cease and fucking desist
>>22722523>The point is that failed series can still sell merchandiseThat's great, I'm glad we agree that G-Savior can still sell merchandise.>You are completely retardedNot quite as retarded as you and bandai, apparently. >Why doesn't bandai remake this and make it better so they can sell more robots>NOOOO REEEEEis the summary of this entire conversation.
>>22722535Most early MG are worse than most modern HG. Many lacked full inner frames, bandai couldn't find a balance between making the details/proportions realistic or show accurate, engineering limitations made some of the gimmicks and transformations really finicky or fragile, and a lot of them needed screws in the joints to keep them from becoming loose too quickly.They can be fun if you want a project to really work on and have their own charm but like HG kits the MG line has improved by leaps and bounds over the past 20+ years.
>>22722540>Most early MGEarly MG consists of a few years between like 1994 or 1997. I believe the Zaku I was released in 98? I can't remember explicitly but that's when they started engineering them very well - better than some modern kits.
>>22722513You clearly haven't built one if you think that.
>>22722547G-Saviour is actually a surprisingly good 1/144...for its time. Most 1/114 kits from that period were like the crappy 1/144 NG Wing and X kits with exposed polycaps, polycap hands, and flimsy thin plastic.
>>22722547The G-Saviour is basically the HG Tristan. Yeah, it's disappointing by modern standards. It is not an incredible kit. But it is a workable kit with a good mold.
>>22722554>>22722552yeah i think this guy is just a sour grapes coping bandaibabby because he's either poor or has a skill issue so needs to beg for a modern kit that will do everything for him.
>>22722554that's kinda unfair and towards G-Saviour at that. At least that one is a new mold and features some quite rare features for its time, like clear beam sabers. Even if they're clear toothpicks.>>22722565shut your buzzword spilling mouth you incontinent bitch
>>22722569Uh oh made ya seethe?
>>22722572yeah your existence makes me angrybut in 5 minutes I won't be angry yet you'll still be retarded so
>>22722573In 5 minutes you’ll still be autistic and get angry at something else. Must be tiring fighting all these battles.
>>22722079Your general thread doesn't have serial number of previous thread, you fucking retard. Ofcourse people treat it as a spam.
>>22722581yeah sure that's the first thing we notice
>>22722585That’s the first thing I noticed because when I saw how bad the thread was I tried to go back but couldn’t.
>>22722472Looks like a toy. Idk how anyone can stand reco designs
>>22722543>I can't remember explicitly but that's when they started engineering them very well - better than some modern kits.No way. The most they had was more superficial details than newer MGs, mainly in the frame department, but things like articulation, moving parts, etc. were terrible. MGs basically had bricks for torsos with no ab crunch or shoulder movement going into the 2000s.
>>22722458You mean you're not a Bandai informant?
>>22722636>ab crunchI don't understand this. ecelebs constantly talk about ab crunch - who gives a shit?>shoulder movementThe Zaku 1 had fine shoulder movement. And I just verified, it released in 1999.

>>22722791any kind of green, whatever speaks to you. I imagined Leopard and GM Spartan greens, but you know, whatever, not my kit.

>>22722834He cute
>>22722831Because Bandai refuses to reprint 99% of G-Reconguista line. You have more chances finding Bigfoot than a GReco HG kit.
>>22722840Rare Bandai W. Fuck G-Reco honestly. Rushed piece of shit. Use that factory capacity to reprint something good.
>>22722851Go away zoomer, you must be at least 30 to understand Tomino's genius
Guys I have a question. In the animes and lineart, Gundam white is often a bluish tinted white. But in the model kits, the Gundams are pure white with no hue. Why do they do this?I noticed this with the MG V2. The normal MG has the white injection color. But for some reason in the MG V2 Assault Buster they changed it to the anime accurate blue white.
>>22722871They've never said so make your own headcanon. There are some egregious cases of getting the colours totally wrong though, like Rozen Zulu.
>>22722859This, unironcially. What’s the rarest Reco kits would you say?

>>22722896I really like how alien they went with the Vagan MS & as much as people cry about the Level 5 aesthetic, basically all of the Build series followed in its footsteps. Legilis is also one of my favorite Gundams hands down.
>>22722012Time to re-watch Votoms>>22722834Hell yeah anon, now I've got the itch to make a red shoulder
>>22722871i like when the whites are tinged beige like computers used to be
>>22722817I'm just unsure if they're going to re-release everything under the new spec line or not.
>>22722968Feedback!
>>22722968looks like it should transform into a big Mac truck
>>22722996i thought a big mac was a type of sandwich
>>22722968Why is it not full package,it was supposed to be full package! there are still 2-3 4/4A era weapon unit packs that none of the full packages have touched yet and the remaining ones are themed around being used by heavier armored cores.With the way kotos been lifting weapons from the alternate versions for the full packages and if I am correct the Sunshine-E being the last 4/4A kit left to reprint, theres no hope of a full package with Weapon Units 18, 17, 16 is there?
>>22723019nevermind just saw the weapon unit 18 reprint announcement lmao
Hoping they'll do RG Alex next
>>22723059No. You'll get your endless RX-78-2s and Unicorns and Freedom/Strike Freedoms and you'll like it.
>>22723059The next 2.0 is obviously going to be the Zaku II. For the next original kit, it's going to be more SEED shit at best.
>>22722520>And MG G Self was voted as the next requested MG.People keep misundertanding the goal posts on that poll. That was a FOR FUN poll on Gundam.info. The only recent poll Bandai has done that literally was "vote for what should be next model kit and we'll actually make it" was the 30th Anniversary Gundam Poll where the V2, The-O, and 00 Raiser won 1st through 3rd.
>>22723094Is this new Hexagear kit?
>>22723094Got me excited thinking it's Dukemon Crimson mode.
>>22723104They're re-issuing Queen's Guard and the matching red Sieg Springer.
Why people are so hype over Turn Gundams?
>>22723126funny mustache
>>22723126No one. Just contrarians pretend to be special.
>>22723126It's good.
>>22723126Unique design compared to SEEDslop
>>22723084>The next 2.0 is obviously going to be the Zaku IIKeep fucking dreaming. The MG Zaku never got a 3.0 and the RG Zaku will never get a 2.0.
>>22723156Zaku II also haven't got EG
>>22722505Fucking awesome.Only thing that was kinda disappointing was the light-up gimmick for the eyes which didn't feel as impressive as it should've been - would've preferred an improved version of the spring-loaded pistons of the old Bandai kit instead.
>>22722771Artifact Z'Gok fucking when
>>22722182>>22722197ACHTUALLY the F91 line had way more plastic per kit than the previous entries because every kit was on par with a 1/144 nu-gundamthe f90/f91 line also used stupidily over the top techniques like 3 colour molding You can see the housing bubble pop with 0083's kits which took a leap backwards in engineering being more like the CCA kits then the Victory and Gfighter kits putting out these tiny 1/144 scale kits
>>22723126it's actually a classy sci-fi design made by a white man unlike most of the slop copy-paste 90's-00's designs by Okawara
>>22722505Seconding >>22723162 I absolutely love the Moderoid Big O. It's a really nice kit and looks imposing on the shelf with my 2 Moderoid Tetsujins.
>>22723156Zaku II 2.0 is just THAT good.
>>22723188>with 0083's kits which took a leap backwards in engineeringGuess that explains why the HG GP02 was a relative pain in the ass compared to other kits of that same year. Granted, I'm still not sure if I just got a bad molding with some of the errors it had. Like overflow that needed trimmed on some of the larger pieces.
>another reprintSo Kotobukiya just plans on reprinting everything Armored Core before they actually make new models for AC6?
>>22723261Practically yes.
Bandai getting humiliated by other brands again
>>22723291yeah right
>>22723291That's the Hasegawa model, right?
>>22723293>defending this slop
>>22723297anon these pictures are nearly identical, do you realize how autistic you look
>>22723296Yeah, snap-fit and straight built with nothing but decalshttp://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/m33b-2/
>>22723302It's weird seeing Hasegawa make these kinds of model. I mean, I know they used to do it before, so it's not really new, just never really expected to see Macross get more snap-fit models where you don't have to use paint to make it look okay.
>>22723190> a classy sci-fi design made by a white man>A repulsive basicbitch robot with a dick joke and moustacheNo thanks.
>>22723059No. They'll use this design aesthetic on either a MG RX-78-2 v4.0, or MGEX RX-78-2
>>22723156>>22723084Next one will obviously be Gundam Mk-II 2.0
>>22723291>>22723297Haswega's battroids are always awkwardbro has a barrel chest
>>22723261they're LITERALLY making ac6 kits as we speak
>>22723329suuuure they are
>>22723328Just like the lineart then.
>>22723333i posted the plamax 1/72 sister....
let me guess, it's not accurate enough to the lineart?
>>22723291>>22723297holy shit it's not even close
>>22723341god damn bandai's looks so much better it's ilarious
>>22723342buyers remorse
>>22723344I don't even have the bandai kit either, but you gotta be joking if you think Hasegawa's looks good with that chest and ESPECIALLY head sculpt, what the hell is that goofy face
>>22723261Some time last year one anon in here said some convention koto booth employee said this was their plan. Seems like it's clearly true at this point. Wish I could have had him ask about Muv-Luv kits since they haven't shown off that Gekishin prototype for almost two years now.
>>22723291Code Geass kits are at least good, but would prefer bigger.
>>22722778titans
>>22722880Arcane and maybe Dahack
Please make a 1/144 Exia Repair 4 alraedy.I don't care whether it's Bandai or the chinks.
>>22723401seconding this, I want a full 1/144 Graham suit lineup for when I am ready to make a shrine for him
>>22723086>Waits until my post to correct the narrativeTotally legitimate.
Why it feels Bandai keep making new lines and then discontinued it like RE 1/100, Figure-rise Mechanics and etc.
>>22723416it's called experimenting
>>22723416The hallmark of a company that doesn't know what it is doing, is likely going bankrupt and is trying to see if anything they throw at the wall will stick. However, bandai isn't going bankrupt so it's just them not knowing what the fuck they're doing. Not the first time I have seen stories of a Japanese company going>We don't know why this is popular so we're going to ignore it
>>227234164 varients of MG + 2 1/100 varient grades, and the only consistent ones are the ver.ka and mgsd line. Please God, just give me more 2.0's
>>22723438>We don't know why this is popular so we're going to ignore it*cough* Canon and mirrorless cameras *cough*
>>22723126it looks cool. only SEAd contrarians don't like it
any tips on the knee part of the MG deathscythe? The part just doesnt want to fit and I dont want to apply too much strenght and break it.
>>22722645GoodThat intent is also why he refuses to allow new Nataku kits
>>22723300maybe if you're blind>>22723341how do bandai manage to have the absolute worst sculpt out of anyone who does a kit of almost any design?
>>22723467you're pretty dumb huh
>>22722007model name?
>>22723482Psycho Geara Doga
>>22723468their hg xabungle sculpt was better than gsc's but other than that i'm struggling to think of any other instance of bandai's sculpt being better
>>22723486It's just Psycho Doga
>>22723488No, this is.
>>22723261I wouldn't be surprised if Bandai got a window of exclusivity before koto is allowed to start selling/fully promoting their ACVI kits.If they still are fully committed to reprinting everything even with square enix making kits of AC1-AC4A cores before touching 6 we still have 2 more NX/4A Era weapon unit sets to be reprinted13~ more AC1-LR kits12~ AC1-LR weapon unit packs6 gen V part sets 3 more Gen V model kits one of which will end up being a $160+ monster before shipping To go...
>>22723467smarru famiry company - pureasu andastandu
>>22723500nah I think it's just incompetence on Koto's part, no need for exclusivity when theirs got announced earlier
>>22722153It's AI. Look at the hands.
>>22722662I fucking dropped my mega launcher the other day.
>>22723416too focused on keeping a model kit MSRP low in order to drive sales that they forget how to make a good product, making a lot of model kit lines fail.....Just for example, they got the FGO license, one of the most lucrative license yet, instead of making a lot of Figurise Standard of various beloved FGO characters like Ushiwakamaru, Scathach, Merlin/Merlin (female) and compete with Figma, they instead make a new model kit line fro FGO but make them chibi and no one wants it.
>>22722153This is how I want to be but with Scopedogs
>>22723500>>22723356By the time Kotobukiya prints AC6 model kits, the general interest in AC will have waned significantly. But then again, not even the old AC kits are selling all that well, I can see quite a few of them in stock over on HLJ.
>>22723587forget text ffsOld HGUC contains the core fighter, but the Revive doesn't, which is annoying since there's not really any way to get the core booster in 1/144 scale nowWhy skimp on like... 5 parts?
>>22723553god I'd kill for a figure rise Vritra
>>22723590absolutely fucking based lizardbro
>>22723589Because those 5 parts would have overflowed the runner configuration and made them print a whole extra runner, probably. Or you can just say there is literally no reason so you can continue to be upset.
>>22723593that woman spooked me, twice, and within the same month shortly after I started playing and for the longest time she was the only NP2 5 star I had, I don't think I had any choice in her becoming my favorite
>>22723594there is literally no reason
>>22723601>And that, my dear viewers, is how it looks when a man willingly chooses ignorance
>>22723583Yeah, and the older games are far more niche so they probably should have capitalized on AC6's release. Either way, I think the series as a whole is still niche enough and koto kits not as accessible outside of Japan to where anyone who was going to buy them around launch is probably still going to buy them whenever they come out. It's not like Gundam where you can have someone who is watching the new show casually stumble across a $20 HG at Target.
>>22723489I look like this IRL
>>22723706Must have a hell of a time with doorways.
>>22723583by the time they get around to ac6 i wont have any shelf space left for them
>hg vdash 75$ and upIt's be cheaper to import from Japan, fuck scalpers.
Lfrith Pre-production type just got here. Time to scalp them :^)
>>22723718have fun wasting funds lmaooo
>>22723723Sorry you couldn't afford them flipbro if I could mail you one for free I totally would
>>22723094i do like that hexa red scheme
>>22723583Surely Koto is not trying to play the long game repressing all of their previous armored core kits just long enough for an expansion/VI expansion sequel to be announced or released, banking on it being a smash hit and THEN start announcing all ACVI related kits at the ""height"", right?
>>22723750I can't believe this anon shot himself in the back of the head, then tied himself up and threw himself into the river. What a tragedy
don't koto literally have steel haze announced
>>22723553Where's the Saber kit?
>>22723761prototypes shown off at a convention, mono color, no information such as scale, when they will be available for sale, etc.I would agree with you that it counts as being announced, on the other hand...
Anyone know if there are any face parts that are compatible with the HGCE Windam's head? I'd like to do a custom replacing the "face" of the windam with a more Gundam-like face, but nothing seems to be compatible due to the weird construction. Perhaps something like this random image i found of a windam custom.
I'll be moving to another country soonis it worth bringing my runners for some project or should I just throw them away?
>>22723788
>>22723788Glue all the runners together into a grotesque idol and hide it somewhere before moving out.
>>22723059I just want another goddamn RG grunt suit for fucks sake.
>>22723830Sorry, you'll never get that "Real Grade" suit of anything that'd make sense in the Realistic colour/appearance style
>>22723159If that ever happens they can run that entire mythical second factory only producing those and they'll get all the money
>>22723834everything and nothing makes sense in realistic style just as much
>>22723834>anything that'd make sense in the Realistic colour/appearance stylenothing from gundam then
>>22723788Make a 1/12 Gundam with the runners
I wish I bought more Born Under Black. I didn't know it was pre-thinned. Will probably have barely enough for this model if I'm lucky.
>>22723848I wish I could buy any but aliexpress doesn't have it
>>22723851I think the only legal way to get it outside of Asia is GalacticToys and they're chronically missing a lot of the line.
>>22723848what's the difference between born and alclad functionally? their product. ranges seem identical
>>22723853Dunno, never used Alclad. Hopefully another anon can answer.
>>22723853i've never used born, hopefully someone else can help

>>22723877lol
>>22723860I know I won't get a good answer, but why does everything you do have to revolve around sex so blatantly? I'm abnormal in that realm too but I don't even know what "my flag" looks like much less have the remotest interest in painting a model to look like it.
>>22723886retard
>>22723890Tell me how you really feel.
Stormbringer is just a reskin from build divers correct?
>>22723894there's some new parts but basically?
>>22723900I'm just trying to understand what it's based on, if it's a new kit, etc. I have no knowledge of it.
>>22723902it's based off GM Dominance
>>22723886trans is about gender not sex you silly
>>22723905Same ballpark, don't be obtuse. I'm not painting Mars symbols on my kits either.
>>22723908that's not the same ballpark at all
>>22722153>>22722159I only buy one of a kit. If I allowed myself to army build I'd be like that guy but with Guncannons
>>22723892Its a troll reposting faggot shit from reddit you spaz.

>>22723914That actually seems plausible. I'll need to think on it more though.
>>22723914no that's crosses

>>22723356Went to the Koto panel at AX. They didn't mention anything about Muv-Luv but some guy asked and they said they couldn't talk about it.>>22723261>>22723770Got a picture of the prototype Steel Haze. Koto didn't say much at their panel. Just that the new kits were gonna be bigger/more detailed. They also mentioned that the reprinting of the older AC kits were going to be improved in some ways (i.e. use newer molding techniques to make the quality better.)
>>22723944>Just that the new kits were gonna be bigger/more detailedtime to throw out the the bulk arm and expand v thors
Does Bandai release sales data for their model kits? If not, then how do we know which kits shelfwarmed and which didn’t? Is it just head cannon?

Asking again because of no answers. Does Bandai release sales data for their model kits? If not, then how do we know which kits shelfwarmed and which didn’t?
>>22724076I can see cotton fuzzies and chipped paint on the verniers. Barzamanon is a fraud.
>>22724202>Asking again because of no answers. Does Bandai release sales data for their model kits?No>If not, then how do we know which kits shelfwarmed and which didn’t?We don't. It's all shitposting.

To save you guys some potential time and money, no, Avatar Fumina's armor is NOT compatible with the G-Line. Kinda had a feeling this would be the case based on pictures but oh well. Hopefully someday they make an MSV version because the propelling tank and leg armor is already 99% there.
>>22724620I don't know what's a bigger shame, that these don't fit together at all or that using them is still the best basis for turning this into the M-MSV version even though it requires buying a w*man kit

Which version is better between the MG Sinanju Stein ver Ka and the Narrative version?
>>22724865Ver Ka is a different designother than that Narrative Ver Ka is just straight up better Narrative
>>22724866Hold up. Is the Sinanju Stein Narrative ver ver Ka a new mould or is it reuising runners from the 2019 Sinanju Stein Narrative ver?
>>22724888It's technically the same mold but the runners have been partially restructured

Snapsisters, what have you snapped recently? Just snapped this Sinanju, and will polish it up for painting.
>>22724971The lighting in this image is abysmal but somehow makes the model look cool.
>>22724971Snapped Hrairoo. I'll paint up a few details and be done with it for the foreseeable future
>>22724943I like his little pet birb
>>22725034
can good lighting make a shit android camera take good pics? kinda too lazy right now to go buy a cheap ring light as I read that its a great tool for photography
>>22725039Yes, lighting will help a lot with even junkier cameras.
>>22725039Just buy a chinaphone with a decent camera, shit's pretty cheap these days
>>22725039lighting will help a lot, but also learn what all the different sliders in your camera settings do
>>22725039Get something, anything that can shoot in RAW and then you can mess with all the camera settings in post as much as you want
>>22724980It's the only lighting in my room right now so I had to make do.
>>22725037I was just looking at this guy on formerly Twitter, so cute
>>22725008How's the build for it? I have it on my backlog and been meaning to start it soon.
>>22725039Yes, even those old Kodak cameras can take a good picture you just have to know how. Those cheap backdrops especially the black or white ones, helps alot too.
>>22725066It's alright. Couple of parts on the back skirt are a bit flimsy so you might just want to glue em right away. I'd say it's better to also glue the little part that keeps back of the rifle attached, unless you'd want to change it up from time to time. During transformation had the shoulder bits and the part that holds v-fin in place fall off a few times, but that's mostly on me I guess. Trying to mount it on an action base in this state is also a bit awkward.
What are some good Sazabi model kits? A lot of the ones I've seen aren't really anime accurate.
>>22725103
>>22725103>>22725108
Are there usually any discounts on gundams for prime day?
New image on 3rd party Nightingale.
>>22725174These are the same guys who made the mg gp02 2.0 right? Looks sick.
>>22725174What scale is it supposed to be?
>>22725174might actually grab this one. i've always said they need to make a large version of the artifact design, it's the only nightingale i'm really partial to
>>22725174Nightingook
But where are the chinkspikes?!
>>22725184GP02 didn't have any spikes either, aside from th v-fin
>>22725190The East has fallen. My chink kino has turned into generic Japanese slop. It's over.
>>22725174Disgusting.Completely killed the charm of the original design.
>>22725203this looks so retarded and impractical. no way this could be an actual war machine. the solomon version actually kinda fixes it.
>>22724256Not too bad. If I don't buy more I should be done within 2 years. If I could paint during winter that'd only be one year
>>22724916Matte for skin, unless you want that glossy oiled skin. Same for the hair, depends on what you're going for
How do you guys bring yourselves to actually work on some of your Gundams? I have a lot of free time but I can't bring myself to do anything besides just lay in bed all day.
>>22725174Finally a Nightengale that isn't hideous
>>22725205Why are you associating practicality in a setting filled with ridiculous designs especially in fiction that has literal space magic in it.
>>22725234You're literally depressed. You are mentally ill. Healthy people don't stay in bed all day. Go see a shrink and if you smoke pot stop it.
>>22725234By starting to exercise. Believe it or not, that rut can only be solved by being active.
>>22725234By forcing myself to do things. I still am bored to tears and miserable between 2 painting sessions, waiting for it to cure. I used to have a strict schedule due to an MMO but I stopped and it's only been going downhill since then.
>>22725241I went and saw a psychiatrist a while back and got on some SSRIs but it didn't stop me from laying in bed all day, it just made me more chill while I bedrot. I heard that the wellbutrin can make you want to do shit more but the psychiatrist told me it could exacerbate my ocd if I get on it so I don't know if I should.
>>22725251try ketamine
>>22725248Do you have a dehydrator? It makes shit cure in like an hour or two.
>>22725254I don't, I'll look into it, thanks.
>Never gonna be reprinted, never ever gonna be an MG or RE/100Too cool for today I guess.
>>22725258They still reprint old kits, It's just super rarely. Kind of surprising the Ga-Zowmn never got an HG like some of the other ZZ suits that appeared in Unicorn.
>>22725234how many times do we have to tell you the same things luxemneet
>>22725271every day because i cant get out of bed and actually do shit besides rot here.
>>22725264What's even more surprising is that the obscure Gunner variant was featured in Battle Operation 2.
>>22725258They’ll be a new one. Believe in a sign of ZZ
>>22725277try amphetamines. nobody's lying in bed all day on speed
>>22725281What are the chances of the Psycho Gundam Mk2 never seeing the light of day?
>>22725280Not really surprising. GBO2 is all about squeezing out every possible MS every week
>>22725277You can, you’re just not missing much
>>22725251There are many medications available. Don't give up and keep working with your doctor to adjust it until you get the desired effect. Combine it with talk therapy if you feel like the problem isn't purely chemical, like if your life is shit.
>>22725284I'm pretty sure the plaque next to it read "confirmed commercialization" or something of that sort, whereas for example the MG AGE-3 and -FX were just described as prototypes.
>>22725280GBO2 is such a shit game but I can't stop playing it because it's one of the only few Gundam games with cool obscure MSV MS that are actually playable.
>>22725312literally the only reason I play it is to get tokens to get suits I like so that I have movable, relatively high quality 3d models of them. Both to just look at and to hopefully help plan out custom builds in the future.
>>22725312>>22725316I can literally never find a fucking game, is non ranked dead at starting rank or some shit?
>>22725324if you're on PC the game has barely any playerbase left in general, especially outside of east asian evening hours
What's the release date for RG RX-78 2.0 again?
>>22725281I believeHG Capsule and Re100 Zssa are real
>>22724303>mg turn xlucky motherfucker
Btw to whoever posted this I'd just like to say, hello neighbor. I went and looked that afternoon and literally confirmed it.
>>22725316You're literally me in every way anon. >>22725324>>22725326Even on console I feel like rooms take a damn long while to fill up now. I just do A/B rooms half the time for the daily tokens.
>>22725174Why are on and to the only prepositions ESLs ever learn?
>>22725174not a big fan of some parts, namely the waist and the lack of armor on the binders, but it's still Nightingale so it's still Great.
>>22725174veiny cock...
>>22725356I didn't even have to break the bank for it. I got it during the golden age of hlj shipping for like 37 euro dollars. At the time I knew nothing about gundams and didn't even watched turn a, I just thought it looked cool. I got super lucky getting it by chance then.
>>22725382Wish I could just go to a store and get Gunpla on sale in rural CanuckistanI'd only get a Leo and maybe mg wing from this selection but still
>>22725412we're back in a second golden age due to exchange rates, the yen tanking has basically wiped out the difference in shipping cost increases. if they actually reprinted that shit we'd be able to get it for a pretty similar price now
>>22725299thanks anon. i'll keep trying
>>22725412I have yet to see one in the wild, and I doubt Ill ever see one in any of the hobby stores I know
>>22725416I've had it on backorder forever, besides poking around other sites but when they do pop up its always for some ridiculous price
primed the rest of the HG sazabi parts today. might try and get the metallic layer done tonight. I bought some alclad metallics in hopes that I can p2w my way to a smooth finish in liue of the last batch of orange peels.
>>22725429The Bandai booth at Anime Expo had some a year or two ago but I didn't get any because like a dumbass I thought it meant it'd hit retail stores soon and not limited stock
>>22725434forgor img
>>22725418Atta boy.
Desert Command QuanT is out in Japan.
>>22725436Sazabi that isn’t red has me thinkin
>>22725478dew it
>>22725284>What are the chances of the Psycho Gundam Mk2 never seeing the light of day?Typhoeus's Dragon Kutan has MK2's arms. I have the kit and can confirm. Bandai is totally serious with this one.
>>22725482god this thind is such wondrous spare parts materialI'd love to get it for, like, 40% off
>>22725484Honestly, Typhoeus looks cute as a standalone robotgirl and Dragon Kutan looks cool as a display piece to me. Assembling it is rather time consumming, though. I did my RG Sazabi faster than this one.
Did someone say Mg Turn X
My local got a bunch of peebs in. Can someone help identify that red one on the bottom and the one next to it?
Tomino created the design concepts for all these mobile suits, which would be refined and put into lineart by Okawara. Do you like Tomino's style of mechanical designs?
>>22725500they all look the same
>>22725500Not a fan of Agg honestly. And while I appreciate Zock it's not really something I want on my shelf
>>22725485I like Typhoeus by itself because I love Raphael and the whole Sengoku vibe works remarkably well, even if the new face mold is kinda goopy. It has the old one as spare parts though from what I've seen so no biggie.Big Lad meanwhile doesn't look half bad but would look even better to me reused in half a dozen custom builds.
>>22725511I think Agg was supposed to be Char's final mobile suit before Gundam got cancelled.
>>22725500I like the Z'Gok. Bearguy astroturfing ruined Acguy for me. The rest I don't care.
>>22725234>>22725251Were you raped or something?You don't need medication at all. You're clearly looking for an easy fix since you're only replying to responses related to that. This is purely a willpower thing that you can only really sort out yourself. Listen to >>22725244 and exercise and if not that, find something interesting that you can focus on because gunpla clearly isn't doing it if you're too lazy to work on them.
>>22725478might pick up an RG sazabi for this, but I want the practice doing the candy coat because I'm going to do anodized for the next few kits.picrel, I got the metallic coat done. alclad really is a cheat code for metallic paints. you'll notice that the leg pieces aren't painted. that's because for the last half of the painting I did, my airbrush wouldn't release the paint properly. In between the primer I did earlier today, and the metallic coat I just did, I took apart the nozzle parts to clean them in 99iso since they were getting buildup at the tip and it was making the paint spatter. after re-assembling the tip, the airbrush wouldn't let paint(or cleaner) through at all, and the air wouldn't go through either. after using my powers of deduction(eyes) I could see that the needle was clogging the nozzle, which struck me as odd, since I added back all the parts I took off, and the needle didn't just grow on it's own. so I spent the next 15 minutes fiddling with the needle until it blew normally. this worked for the first half of the pieces, until the paint flow gradually got weaker and weaker until the brush was only blowing air. strangely enough, the air itself never got cut off after this, and it could blow like normal, but no matter how I adjusted the needle, or cleaned it, the paint flow would only be 1/4 of what it should be, and would within 30 seconds, be reduced to air only until I re-adjusted the needle. >tldr: needle keeps slipping forward, and can't be adjusted so that the paint flows properly. does any anon know what's up? do I just need to get a new brush?
>>22725566Are you a Scientologist? I don't know why else someone would do something so irresponsible as tell a vulnerable person to stop taking his meds. Leave him alone.
>>22725620You're not doing candy you're doing colored metallic. Candy needs mirror chrome not just any metallic.
>>22725635no you dont, candy paint is just a clear paint over a metallic. you can do it over a regular gold or silver easily
>>22725635well jokes on you I'm using Allclad's "silver candy base"
>>22725623>vulnerablelazy
>>22725654jokes on me I just realized alclad's candy *base* removes the need for a base coat. 10 bucks of paint and thinner down the tubes.
>>22725652Then what's the difference between clear red over normal silver paint, and metallic red paint
>>22725667there is a layer of paint/colour before the metal flakes, this small bit of space it the candy 3dish effect. you'd know this if you painted
>>22725676You're going to topcoat it anyway.
>>22725678you really dont paint do you, back to the spoon kitchen with ya
>>22725680You don't know, then. You don't have an answer.
>>22725684sboon
>>22725635the lacquer thinner has dissolved your brain anon
>>22725696Okay explain it to me then.
>>22725700https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqmjKQ4voPQ
>>22725497Left: HG Rezel Defenser b-UnitRed: HG Try AGE GundamRight: HG Gaplant Tr-5 [Hrairoo]
>>22725707Oh, would you look at that. I never saw them side by side before. Thanks.
>>22725500BIG FUCKING ZAM
>>22725708TRY AGE
>>22725700metallic paint is shiny because of metal flakes in it, candy coats may or may not have metal flakes in the bottom layer and the shinyositry comes more from the gloss finish of the clear colors/top coat. The end result is candy coats having more depth, and more of a reflection to them while metallic paints have more diffuse reflections on them.
>>22725721Yeah, I just thought that these would appear to have the same finish but the video tells me apparently not. Left was a lot more glossy for some reason that I still don't quite get but I can't argue with results.
>>22725719Nah, I'm good
Finally got my hands on these. Snapsisters we’re snappin good tonight.
>>22725497Oh man that Psycho Gundam collecting dust. Grab it for the love of god.
>>22725707Tldw?
>>22725678>>22725727Hold up, I thought you weren’t supposed to top coat metallic paints because it doesn’t enhance the metallic effect, it just looks like you spray gloss over a metallic.
>>22725754https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTBEn2VkW38play this side by side, maybe then you can get the whole whopping 3 minutes
>>22725762Thanks anon. I’ll try it out.
>>22725759go paint some fucking spoons bro, see for yourself what you like and dont like
>>22725759It depends on what you want. Maybe you like what it looks like. Personally I do semigloss on metallics most of the time for physical protection. Semigloss changes the look the least.
>>22724256An X-Wing I stopped painting halfway through and a Battlogue HG that just needs some touchup and a topcoat. It's been months and I just can't bring myself to do either
>>22725770Sounds like you need to buy more kits
>>22725771I have and I've already finished them all
>>22725766>painting spoonsAutism.
>>22725777If you finish all of them your not buying enough
>>22725258That old kit can still be fun. I just found the original again at a hobby show. Usually when I work on an old obscure kit, Bandai will make a better version. It didn't work this time...
>>22725759Flat metallics can be pretty nice. Semi gloss just to protect it as >>22725768 said, it remains pretty much the same. Gloss if you want to add some shine to it.
>>22725623guaranteed that you have at least one vaporwave gundam
>>22725793Thinking depression isn't a fake conspiracy makes me a fag? What's next?
>>22725785I want one fuck. Now I have to scour the web for this kit.
>>22725762holy crap anon, i know you probably don't care but this really works. it really helps me pay attention to shit that would normally bore the flip out of me. i think i'm going to use this for school. do you have any other good videos you'd recommend?
>>22725812i read this as "i want one to fuck"
>>22725815Just look up "satisfying video," it's a whole genre that should provide the same effect.
>>22725826Who could blame you? Its sexy as heck.
>>22725842for me it's watching earwax extraction videos. bonus if the video has forceps being used in it.
>P-Bandai randomly decides to reprint the old MG Dunbine with no announcement
>>22725918but why?
>>22725918Forget that, you guys buying the Captain Planet Gundam?
>>22725928They made a video a few months ago basically saying they're reprinting all their old super robot stuff and making models for ones that never got kits
>>22725930how many dunbines are they gonna make? there are tons of aura battlers that i want to get modern hgs. also will they reprint the rrr l-gaim mk ii which is basically a mg l-gaim mk ii?
>>22725241>and if you smoke pot stop itI just got high and started watching rick and morty. they legalized it where i live like last year.
>>22725935They made OVA version of Sirbine.
>>22725942I want a drumlo
>>22725937gr8 b8 m8
>>22725942OVA version doesn't actually have the shield, that was only added in Aura Phantasm
Currently in a anime sweatshop con. Those IBO kits worth picking up? I might pick up the Quant.
>>22725969No idea about how good they are but the 1/100 IBO kits don't get reprinted very often.
>>22725942I forgot the name of the thing it fights but I want a kit of that too
>>22725969Depends on the price. The only ones there that are "rare" are the IBO 1/100's, but unless you really really want them they're probably not worth picking up.
>>22725969Don't buy shit at a con it's going to be marked up to hell to snare people who don't know better
>>22725973Zwauth, would be a big boy considering HG Sirbine is already Nu Gundam sized.
>>22725960Oh i usually call the protagonist mecha as "Sirbine" like a bad habit. "Sirbine" is reincarnated Dunbine and is actually a biomechanical creature. The design only exist in the OVA.
>>22725983Bandai releasing artistic modelkit feels so unreal. But i hope they will do it more.
>>22723463Sand and glue.
>>22722012I wanna go fast.
Why do I have 2 ZAPsWhat the hell is wrong with me
>>22726149Have you even started building either of them
>>22726156Yeah the recast
>Finished Principal of Megalomaria >Checked articulation>The ass cheeks are articulatedKotobukiya has reached peak.
I made my spray booth too big. Holy shit and I forgot to buy a glue gun and had to make do with a packing tape and some painters tape.
