Whoops new thread already. How the fuck am I supposed to get safety data sheets for Japanese paints? They don't have any sort of general lookup system for MSDS like America does and they never respond to my emails or have shit on their websites. I know they're legally required to fill this stuff out.
>>22737556are you like using mr hobby paints for a job or something?
>>22737519My boy is done. Should've bought metal parts for the backpack too, it's stressful moving its joints. Can still do it later as it's an easy disassembly. Love this kit, but I'm not a fan of using mustard gold plastic for joints
>>22737560I'm trying to import Born Paint and no forwarder will do it for me unless I can show them an MSDS. Galactic Toys is no good, they don't have near the full selection and haven't restocked in over a year.
>>22737555Ok, that's a good one.
>>22737556>I know they're legally required to fill this stuff out.Yeah in America you fucking retard. They're not an American company.
>>22737567Another picture of great quality™. Might try making a makeshift lightbox with the box of the kit
>>22737588Another pictureless post of great quality™
>>22737586They're legally required to fill it out in Japan too you fucking down syndrome imp. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/安全データシート
>>22737592They only have to provide that information to the government not some random hydrocephalic with a prolapsed anus like yiy
Is there any instances where gloss is a better finish than matte over a base coat? Or is matte basically always better?
Which Victory Gundam kit is the best?
>>22737600Anything shiny and/or metallic like the Knight of Gold, Hyaku-Shiki, Gold Lightan, Ryujinmaru, etc would definitely look better with a gloss finish rather than flat
>>22737607I meant gloss over just normal non metallic paint like that picture I attached.
>>22737608Your picture doesn't look bad because it's glossy it looks bad because it's a sloppy job.
>>22737608If it's well done and suits the model, there's nothing wrong with it. You posted a particularly bad example.
>>22737600I personally prefer gloss coat. Matte becomes pretty boring after a while.
Is Calibarn worth getting if I already have Lfrith and Aerial? Feels like it's too similar to those kits
>>22737611>>22737610Yeah I know it’s not mine I just grabbed it off Reddit because I was looking for an example. It seems like just plain gloss is kind of rare in gundams.
>>22737622I asked because I have a MG Wing Proto Zero that I was thinking about doing gloss over because it has some rounded proportions that usually look good shiny and also I don’t think it looks good in matte. Do you think it’d be good to do this kit in gloss?
>>22737516I just want to say to this anon that I'm proud of them for the quick improvement. Looking good
>>22737640I don't think there's a way to make glossy Gundams look good. They just end up looking like old shitty metal toys.
>>22737648The thing about gloss is that it makes all imperfections more apparent. So if you think you can do well, then go for it
>>22737652I just like the racecar look. I like it when the gundams looks like racecars.
Whoever makes is to Markham and gets a selfie with him first wins $50
This thing actually looks cool when posed right. It'd be fun to paint too.
>>22737660does this guy have no neck? or is this his signature pose
>>22737567uwa~ so cool ~
>>22737669Do u even build bro?
>>22737667Its so fucking ugly jesus did you have to post it? I'd managed to forget its existence.
>>22737667Uncanny Valley but for Gundams. Fucking skinwalker gundam. I can't tell if the head looks like a guy wearing a retard helmet or someone wearing someone else's face.
>>22737674It is not even scary or uncanny, the problem is that it is a mediocre design.
What are the best generic gundam looking gundams? I like the Strike, Impulse, and Mk-II, although the Mk-II doesn't have any good models that don't ruin the proportions.
>>22737686Not that it's scary, it just looks wrong, grotesque. When you look at something that is uncanny valley it shouldn't normally inspire fear but instead discomfort. Your brain goes>something is not right here
>>22737688Hi Nu is personally my favourite for generic Gundam type of design. Yeah yeah, it is not as creative as Nu, but i like it.
>>22737688>the Mk-II doesn't have any good models that don't ruin the proportions
>>22737694>Hi Nu>Generic Gundam?
>>22737698Yeah that one is impeccable and looks amazing. But isn't it super hard to get? I was talking about the Bandai ones like RG, MG 2.0
>>22737688>Mk-II doesn't have any good models i was going to answer but you don't deserve to be treated like a person
>>22737704name one Bandai Mk-II that gets the proportions right. I'll wait.
>>22737703>But isn't it super hard to get?You can buy a recast right now
>>22737706I don’t want to die at 30 from inhaling resin dust though. I need Bandai to make it for me.
How come Bandai doesn’t have anti piracy measures like Nintendo which has been suing everybody lately?
>>22737705HGHGUCHGUC ReviveMG MG 2.0RG
>>22737717All of these get the proportions on the legs wrong.
>>22737705You do realize the newer kits are based on their own concept arts reinterpreting the old design, and not the old lineart, right? Getting it wrong would imply that they just failed to recreate the original design.In any case, you can combine bits of the old 1/100 kit and the MG 2.0 and get pretty damn close.
>>22737726mald
>>22737733Ridicule is a common form of ego defense
>>22737713then just buy the RD
>>22737702It is generic. You can put this design in Seed or Wing and Hi Nu will blend in just fine.
>>22737667It looks too... human? biological? I dunno. It's unsettling.
>>22737748Would be like the Providence Gundam which doesn't seem like it's from Seed.
>>22737651thanks :)
>>22737748there's weird takes and then there's just being actually blind
>>22737745The RG? It has twink legs rather than the big and bulky ones in the lineart.
/gpg/'s inane obsession with lineart accuracy to the point they think they know better than the original artists will never not be funny
>>22737688RG is good, hg revive is good. You are autistic.
>>22737757Post any random screenshot of Freedom/Strike Freedom with their wings opened and you will get it.
>>22737770Gundam shows are basically toy commercials. They are advertising the merchandise they are putting out. So if you see something you like and want the merchandise but it doesn’t look like what was advertised, naturally you’d be pissed right? Like if you called up a whore and she comes over and doesn’t look like her pictures, would you still pay her or would you tell that bitch to beat it?
>>22737780the freedoms are much more twinky.
>>22737793you're not very smart...
>>22737770>I like this design better>You like that design better? REEEE
>>22737803that's how they act, yeah
>>22737803>I like the lineart better>you like the lineart better? REEEESorry, your IQ is so low I didn't think I would have to make it this specific.
>>22737802You are the one who’s not very smart if you’d pay a whore who doesn’t look like her pictures.
>>22737800If you think Hi Nu is muscular, then you haven't see an actual muscular mech.
>>22737793A whore doesn't randomly change her look every time you look away like a cartoon robot would, ya know?
>>22737826Oh nice, it's peak contrarian hours already.
>>22737793If they looked like the shows, they'd look like shit. Also you should kill yourself.
>>22737831Some times they use old pictures or photoshop and anglefraud and when they show up they are fatter and uglier than the picture so you have to tell them to beat it.
>>22737834You called?
>>22737834basically a twink
alright, gimme that accurate Zeta kitif it's even one inch away from this I will cry and shit myself
>>22737694Tamashii Nations bringing in guest chink artists? What the fuck is up with that gun?
>>22737834Nice twink, bro.
>>22737894Here you go bro
>>22737870Gundam niggas look at a literal chopstick and be like " damn, this thing got gains ".
>>22737826>then you haven't see an actual muscular mechpost one then
dunbine is coming along wellfun build, smaller than i thought it would be even for an HG>>22737911evangelions are muscular in the sense that they have muscles when most mecha do not
>>22737900It is P-Bandai exclusive weapon for Metal Build Hi Nu. Most of Metal Build is just straight up Chinkchong with how overly detailed they look.
>>22737921that hi-nu looks fine though
>>22737911
>>22737933
>>22737660I live down the street anon, I know you won't ever pay up.
>>22737927maybe but that gun definitely doesn't
>>22737949the hard part is not trying to cause drama when you rush to the back of the store to look for this specific person and ask him for a photo for "reasons"
Nu Gundam >>> Hi Nu Gundam.
>>22738012Based. Hi nu color looks retarded
>Finished my group build entry>Probably won't enter the group build officially because I'm too lazy to take more picturesWell.. at least I finished it I guess
>>22738016>hates blue This is a blue board
>>22737749It massacres Woke Zeon. Why did Zeon turned from Space Samurai to Space Woke activists? En taro Deikun...
>>22738035you should do it anon! i believe in you>>22738103wait what's woke about that pickycillia was probably the most formidable of the zabis
>>22738130Nose piercing soldier, And this hairstyle. And was there black Zeek?
>>22738016I don't mind the colors themselves, more so how they get used, but the Nu just feels like it perfected the modernized Rx-78 lineage look and stands out with that asymmetric design and the relative color balance it went with. The Hi-Nu just feels like a mess that was redesigned by a Chinese 12 year old that had no self restraint as if Izubuchi wasn't being tardwrangled for it.
>>22738130>KycilliaHe's probably complaining about the shitty shave head design.
>>22737660i was about to post this
>>22737997I think every 3rd saturday of month is free build day, and he is there every time, just go build and casually snap pictures
>>22738142I feel like the nu ver ka is what does this. The actual izubuchi lineart for the nu is kind of mid, and Katoki had to fix it. Sadly, the hi nu was just too retarded even for godtoki himself to fix.
Hguc Zaku iii revive flipping when?
>>22738181your only hope is p-bandai AoZ Zaku III which might lead to a modern HG Zaku III
>>22737949Ew bro imagine actually living in markham wtf is wrong with you. Just drive there from the Durham region like everyone else
>>22738181RIGHT NOW!!
>>22738206BASED!
>>22737660Hey I'd appreciate it if you took my picture down from the internet
>>22738171>The actual izubuchi lineart for the nu is kind of mid, and Katoki had to fix it.You are making an excellent case against free speech right now
Why must you bully the man /gpg/
>>22738234I bet half of this general is even more incel looking than him. They're throwing stones in a glass house.
>>22738240I literally look like a fusion of the bottom two guys
>>22738244based same
>>22738240bottom right is cute, 2nd from the top on the left is too
>>22738234Because I hope he sees it and kills himself.
>>22738259Do u want me to go to Toronto and show him? I’m a loyal panda hobby customer already
>>22738274Yeah, let him know I hate him entirely based on how he looks and his choice in gunpla, and that if he doesn't kill himself I'll hunt him down and do it myself. Girlpla builders get the fucking rope.
>>22738274please do, I want some random guy to get freaked out by a stranger showing him 4chan threads of mean anons mocking him
What did I ever do to you anons
Girlpla builders deserve to be mocked and ridiculed relentlessly
>>22738130Kycilia would be conservative since she commands "legitimate" zeon in gihren's ambition.
>>22738305yes, and conversatives would reee about a woman being in charge as being too "girlboss"
>this is what a gunpla that respects the artist's wishes by being accurate to the lineart looks likeyou rike?
>>22738314yeah that looks cool
*respects the artist again*
>>22738314>>22738319I see this as disrespecting the artist by going to painstaking effort to highlight the fact that they failed to draw a straight line once
Anyone built the 1/35 zeta bust? I'm having trouble with the leds in the wings. Am I just retarded or is the led too short?
*respecting the artist as usual*
>>22738314Real Respect Grade
>>22738314it's a work of art though, recreating horrible lineart in plastic model form
Is SEED the only example where not respecting the artists wishes are a good thing?
>>22737688>Mk-II doesn't have any good models that don't ruin the proportions.Katoki was pretty faithful to the original lineart with the Zeta Ver Ka MG in terms of proportions, so he will probably do the same with the MK-II Ver Ka MG.
>>22738353Thank fuck. I can’t wait for it next year. The thing I really like about the mk-ii is the legs, but in model kit form the circle things on the side of the legs is either not beefy enough or shaped/positioned wrong.
>>22738349another sign that Sneed is trash
>>22738363I actually think SEED was pretty good. The designs were good, the 1v4s with Kira Jesus vs the other GAT 5 were cool, Flay was hot and she actually put out, which you don’t see very often in these shows especially not in the earlier episodes. And Rau being like an edgy school shooter wanting to destroy the world was neat.
>>22738374Oh and I forgot the captain lady’s boob jiggles were a nice touch.
>>22738374>>22738376>not watching gundam for the gay ships
>>22738374>>22738376Oh and I also forgot to say I'm brown.
>>22738374>The designs were goodAbsolutely not, it's obvious the designs were shat out en mass to make the most toys possible>the 1v4s with Kira Jesus vs the other GAT 5 were coolAbsolutely not, I don't even remember that shit>Flay was hotNot with that Key-looking bug face>she actually put out, which you don’t see very often in these showsFake fan>And Rau being like an edgy school shooter wanting to destroy the world was neat.What wasn't neat was that Rau was CORRECT about coordinators not being a proper future for humanity but the writing made him be wrong because he acts evil, so the message of the show ended up being that human experimentation is a good thing whether they meant it to be or not
I am still fucking livid that I live in the world where Pacific Rim got Bandai kits but only for Uprising and HG only too.
>>22738393>Absolutely not, it's obvious the designs were shat out en mass to make the most toys possibleI like the Strike, Aegis, Blitz, Providence, Freedom, and Justice. The Buster and Duel I agree with you on, as well as the ZAFT monoeyes and druggie Gundams and any other forgettable designs.>Absolutely not, I don't even remember that shitThey are the only fights I remember from the show. After that, it felt like Kira was just too op to lose, especially when Athrun joined his side.>Not with that Key-looking bug faceLow key I don’t mind the faces. I thought Flay and Cagali were low key kinda bad.>What wasn't neat was that Rau was CORRECT about coordinators not being a proper future for humanity but the writing made him be wrong because he acts evil, so the message of the show ended up being that human experimentation is a good thing whether they meant it to be or notYeah I agree. Definitely seed isn’t a masterpiece or anything but I still thought it was fun to watch and definitely a much needed breath of fresh air after some of the stale shows from the 90s.
>>22738401brilliant design
>>22738405>breath of fresh air after some of the stale shows from the 90s.I dunno, man. Right before Seed was X and Turn A. X is controversial sure but what the show was actually about was the burden of having to uphold the Gundam name as someone who isn't Tomino, and that's a pretty interesting idea even if it doesn't excuse the cut episode count and its consequences. Turn A isn't everyone's cup of tea either but I think of all the things you could say about it stale isn't one. It went out of its way to break as many conventions as it could while still being recognizable.
Is it worth it bros?
>>22738406Yes.
>>22738416Most definitely.
>>22737519Been forever since I built anything or browsed this general. But I made some EX Model vehicles to go with my grunt suits. I wish there were more vehicle kits.
>>22738411Turn A was an all around failure.
>>22738435Based
>>22738434I kneel
>>22738437Special Piss Edition.
Are there any kits besides this, the blue Type C ReZEL, and the Shezarr Team Jesta that have these large beam cannons?
>>22738449How does one make a golden color that isn't a piss yellow shade?
>>22738454Some people are just obsessed with piss
>>22738462Those sneaky engineers at bandai.
I can’t stop thinking about seed.
>>22738416The engineering of these old Votoms kits are rather questionable. So no, not worth it. https://youtu.be/x1OcR_22Fu8?feature=shared
>>22738527Achievable natty?
>>22738532>The engineering of these old Votoms kits are rather questionable.Breaks antennae in video. Shows he didn't build the arm properly, which is why it's falling out. Why do people take these "reviewers" opinions seriously?
>>22738532>Anime girl avatar >Looks like thisclassic
>>22738416The 1/20 Scopedog has strange proportions and nonsensical mechanical detail that isn't even internally consistent.
>>22738584It is a 17 years old mold. Kit technology was kinda bad back then.
>>22737600Sinanju and Sazabi looks great with gloss.
>>22737667I-i can fix him. This is going to shelf warm so bad that it might as well be an entry grade kit.
>>22737921I like it. I like the gun. Fuck im a sucker for these big ass impractical guns.
>>22738374Rau was a compelling villain and considering that the Seed setting is brutal, I would say he had all the right reasons to do what he did. His dialogues were something else too.
>>22738452The Zeta variants have those big ass cannons.
>>22738314Those legs are very effeminate.
>>22737516Which MS would Yasuke be based on if Yasuke joins SD gundam world's Musha world? I think Destiny spec 2 will suit him since Shinn is like Yasuke for being lesser Earthling who became the elite pilot in Zaft alien troop who are high tech alien with better physical, tech and psychic ability.
>>22737600Mechs with a lot of curvatures look great in gloss imo, so like Qubeley, Sazabi, Gerbera Tetra, etc
>>22737688Victory and V-Dash, peak KINOtoki designs right there
MG Efreet when?
>>22738720You get a re/100 of Custom with zero variants years later and you're gonna like itSeriously, it's so bizarre. And that's without getting into no 1/100 Blue Destinies. Or how they were evidently popular enough for all three to get new retail HGs but Efreet Custom wasn't good enough for retail.What kind of venn diagram would have "hg is p-bandai but re/100 is retail" for one and "new retail hgs for all but no 1/100s at all" for the other? What the hell???
>>22738636No, most of Entry Grade sells pretty well. Exceed Galaxy is quite popular.
>>22738710How come all these guys who make the gundams envision them to be all shiny and neat, but retarded modelers put them in matte?
HG Gallus-K retailHG Gallus-J(ZZ Ver.) PBHG Gallus-J(Werewolf Ver.) PBAll announced next year
>>22738550Natty /gpg/‘s best builder, yes

>>22738800>have toI don't have to do shit fag
>>22738801Oh okay I'll just trust the fat retard in the video and the fat retard who posted it here saying it's bad because he built it wrong, thanks anon! Fucking stupid piece of shit, what's your BMI? Post physique so I can bully you into suicide you dumb tranny cunt.
>>22738832so cool
>>22738784Gloss is cringe and the average westerner knows much better than the typical jap.
>>22738784designers are probably thinking of motorcycles when working on them, and so make the metal parts shinyamericans are likely thinking of military vehicles, and so make the metal parts matte
>>22738835Anon why are you so angry, maybe you need to take a walk outside and cool down. This isn't healthy. Have you checked your blood pressure lately?
>>22737519currently priming and painting the top half, that guy on the back are almost ready to prime, and then i need to build the other 7 sd kit from this series
>>22738859Post bmi fatty
>>22738876That's some HEAVY projection
>line art purists complain about kits being "off-model">when they're barely on model in the anime half the time anyway
>>227388760.5% and it’s 9inches long in case you were wondering
>>22738908It is just the same autistic faggot. He has been spamming this thread to thread.
why does all the coolest shit only get figures...
>>22738979Because katoki is a hack
>>22738982fuck does katoki have to do with this
>>22738984
>>22737667it really doesnt
>>22738988wrong figure
>>22738988Mika Akitaka designed Gerbera Kai. It was originally a Laserdisc bonus. Katoki only made Gundam Fix for it as a one-off. This action figure >>22738979 is based on the laserdics artwork, not Gundam Fix.
>>22738995It’s still his fault it’s a figure and not a kit
test
Fresh shitpost idea:Make your own gunpla channel and start shilling it here.
>>22738979Better question, why is the coolest shit always mono-eyed??Why is aesthetically a single eye so much better than two eyes??
>>22738832I will have so much fun making a diorama with this battling flight type Alto.
>>22739035>Why is aesthetically a single eye so much better than two eyes??two eyes are for losers
Wow japanese fans are vocal about new HGCE kit, and they're not happy!
>>22738434>fogged canopybro.....
>>22739072>3k yen for thatYeah, that kinda fucking sucks
>>22739072It costs more than alot of RGs and almost as much as the impulse despite it being a HG slop kit I would complain as well.
>>22737667Nope, still looks like trash.
>>22739072sneedfags get what they fucking deserve
>>22739072Smaru famiry company prease understand...
>>22737667That toe sticking out is the most bizarre part of the design

>>227391135 yen has been deposited to your account
>>22739072>Checked who this nigga is>He deleted his accountWow, what a stable and reasonable individual.
>>22739072i mean, this is a fuckup on bandai's part yeah, shit's embarrassing
>>22739072Damn, looks like a kit that would have come out back when seed was first airing.
>>22739132Yeah, imagine a modelkit that is not fully color separated.
>>22739140>i bought a pile of shit so I can make fun of people who complain about piss
>>22739145Yeah, that's how it goes. Learn how to paint.
>>22739146the point is that these parts are a pain in the ass to mask properly, but bandai can and has given similar parts separation on recent HGs already so it's just them being lazy on what's a relatively pricy average sized HG
>>22739138You have no idea what you are talking about. Original Duel HG looked like something a rookie garage modeler would sell.
>>22739145snapshitter cope
>>22739145That sculpt is better than anything Bandai has made in the past 30 fucking years you retard snapshitter
>>22739148It is not like Bandai sold you a tightly sealed action figure. You can remove the parts then mask it. I don't see much complains about HG IBO's sticker problem. Those kits are the true anti-snapshit stuff from Bandai.
>>22739127>5 yenkek how many pennies is this
>>22739154IBO was 10 years ago, my coping disingenuous nigger friend.
>>22739149I know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. the back of the new kit looks pretty fucking rough from a snapshitter perspective. I am a paintchad but I am capable of acknowledging that it doesn't look as good OoB as other recent bandai releases (from the back, the front looks fine.)
>>22739072>>22739132>buy a HG kit, which everyone has known for years are the lowest quality and price kit you can get outside of EG (which doesn't really count anyways given how few of them there are)>surprised that they didn't spend a huge amount of development time to mold every single piece in the correct color, and you have to paint it and/or apply stickers to get it to look good>this has literally been the case for every single HG kit in existenceIf you fuckers don't want to paint your shit, buy a RG or MG instead.
>>22739159>IBO was 10 years ago2015. 6 years after HG Unicorn.
>>22739166>ackshually Cope.
>>22739164>buy a RGfunny cause there are RGs that look better and are cheaper than thatwhy do you think that is?
>>22739159And in 2014, you got this color separation masterpiece. How did Bandai went from this to IBO?
>>22739166wow, IBO designs need more stickers than a kit with 4 total colors?
>>22739168Stop defending IBO.
>>22739140Looks like it’s made out of cheese wax
>>22739170>promotional imageohnonono
>>22739170This looks like garbage.Parts separation was a mistake and Bandai made the right call
anyone saying "snapshitter" automatically marks himself as a low value individual
>>22739172Stop slurping Bandai's cum and asking for seconds.
>>22739171This kit has 6 colors >>22739171 and most of it are color separated. Meanwhile, IBO, even the MS with 4 colors in total needed stickers.
>>22739072Competency crisis hitting Bandai too?
>>22739176>>promotional image?
>>22739178yet still higher value than snapshitters
>>22739178Nice cope, snapshitter.
>>22739184Huh...
>>22739186your kind has repeatedly proven you exist only to prove I'm better than you
>>22739120Looks pretty gud.
>Finally get around to building the HG 00>the way the GN swords transform and clip onto the modelAre there any other HGs with cool details like this
>>22739155a fraction of a penny
I support anything that results in SEEDfags getting dunked on, simple as.
>>22739193HG Scopedog/Burglarydog's eye can rotate. I think it is a very cool small detail and accurate to the anime.
>>22739203Take the tranny pill if you can.
>>22739215According to /gpg/ SEEDfags are white therefore trannies. So don't be like that.
>>22739218>WhitesWhities hate Seed most of the time. They complain about the series having "sexualized female" and shits.
>>22739203But have you considered ZnO?

>>22739236Awfully small tho.
How come this general is always getting into arguments about seed but never about other shows like 00? I never even hear people here talking about the 00 gundams but always hear about the seed ones.
>>22739241Because 00 doesn't hog kits.
>>22739241Because Seed makes people seethe here. Gundam 00 is perfection so there's very little hate to it.
>>22739240big where it counts tho
>>22739245If it’s perfection, how come nobody talks about or posts the gundams? They’ve had some newer gundam mgs in the past couple years that were pretty good right?

>>22739250This but UC only
>>22739318IIRC the Freedom designs he made shortly after Destiny, with very little changes made in the years between then and Freedom’s release. He probably got paid a commission to do them back then so no reason to do more work for free.
>>22739318>>22739323he was so wasted on this shitshow of a movie, I hope he deliberately made the designs shit in an attempt to sabotage itdidn't work out but I appreciate the try

>>22739343I bet you can't even point out differences between your girlfriend and your own mom.
>>22739360It's okay if you can't circle the differences anon, you can just admit they're the same.
>>22739364I’ve never had a girlfriend.
>>22739365I can circle them right now and i will be a futile attemp because you are fucking blind. There is no point pulling myself down to the same level as a faggot.

>>22739370Well then I guess they are all the same since you can't prove otherwise.
>>22739072This is a fake scandal. No one bitched about HG Nemo.
>>22739379The Nemo is an actually goo design though.

>>22739426That’ll be fun
>>22739428surely no one will bother defending it
>>22739432given we know literally nothing about it that's a bit of an early conclusion methinks
>>22739432I'm going to defend the Ex Gundam. It looks prett cool in the context of the show, with the directorial techniques employed and the intense use of light and dark to outline the silhouette of the Gundam. Furthermore, with proper shading, weathering, and painting, I think you can make the model kit look pretty cool. I'm not going to defend the wokeism in the show though nor will I defend the shitty ps2 cut scene graphics.
I like G reco!
>>22739444oh wow, at least 3 degrees of retardation in one post!
>>22739420It sucks ass that it's already ended.
>>22739444Why can't they just stick with the recognised head design instead of going retarded with redesigning and making an original donutsteal.
>>22739448how come they don't make another good gundam show like 00? like i'm looking at what they made since then and it's kind of depressing. age, unicorn, all the buildshit that came after the first one, g reco, ibo, the origin, nt, hathaway. just sad man. it's a far cry from what we got in the 80s and 90s.
>>22739450ageunicorng reconarrativehathawaythere's your good shows, now go and die in your retirement home boomer
>>22739451you actually liked age?
>>22739450Hathaway IS something we got in the 80s you stupid dumb fucking retard
>>22739452yes, for all its flaws even the last arc had great stuff
>>22739450An OVA of AoZ or Gihren's Greed would be a shot in the arm me thinks.
>>22739455An adaptation of Federation Hooligans or other stuff from the author would be really nice
When is the new puru figure gonna drop? Didn't they announce one along with the luna figure rise standard?
>>22739462no ETA now, same as psycho mk-ii
>>22739466fuck man thats brutal. do you think they'll make more figure rise of some of the other gundam baddies like haman or katejina?
>>22739467Katejina sounds unlikely but Haman or Lalah are not off the table.
>>22739467assuming Puru sells well Haman at least seems obvious
>>22739469I don't want Lalah. She's a pajeeta.

why are seedfags like this?

>>22739608/gpg/ has attracted the attention of the resident bikini schizo and he's going to stick around to post about how ZAFT are aliens who don't poo and how Bionicle should have lasted for 40 years. This is what happens when you reply to these posters instead of just doing pic related.
>>22739647Are Zeeks alien?
>all these Seed designs
>>22739647I do not understand why people that can not speak English insist on coming to English websites. >>22738641I am looking more specifically for that style of Mega Beam Launcher the ReZEL Type C has. Seems only three kits have it.
>>22739548yeah i just use the guide because it lists all the gundam shows in production order with the dates. the pros and cons are retarded.
>>22739250daddy
Is this color scheme for the nobel kinda bad or are the usual colors better?
>>22739131lol
>>22739719All I know is that I don't like it.
I wanna paint but I live in an apartment and there's always people walking around who wanna stop and watch or talk and it gives me horrifying anxiety
almost done
>>22739790When are you going to paint it?
>>22739748Just do it and talk to whoever talks to you. It's terrifying but it's good for you and necessary for your mental health. I force myself into social interactions because without it my anxiety just gets worse. You need to socialize, and what better way to do it than socialize about your hobby? Trust me, you'll feel more human.
>>22739792not in this life
Is this available anywhere at a human price (PIRATED versions included)
>>22737567That pose is fucking rad
>>22737519Inspired by the anon building a Strike Freedom, I picked up the Real Grade. This kit's pretty fun so far, I like the gold contrasted against the white. Excited to display this on an action base with my RG Freedom and HG Rising Freedom.
The EG Nu is kinda hot.
>>22739815It was on P-Bandai less than a year ago, but I'm pretty sure even that one's just a repackage of the parts from the 2008 MG but with bonus waterslides.
>>22739835Anon… You know that kit has early real grade syndrome right?
>>22739841I agree. It's cheap, has great proportions, and is large enough that it's pretty friendly for customizing and painting.The only downside is that it doesn't come with the fin funnels.
>>22739852I know and I don't particularly care. I don't frequently repose my models so my Strike Freedom will be fine. If any issues pop up I'll find ways to remedy them
>>22739852>early real grade syndromethis doesn't exist, you're just fat and have no finesse or manual dexterity
Holy shit I just googled and rg nu is 50 bucks. I thought rg was supposed to be the lower price point line? That’s like more than a lot of mgs.
>>22739859>why is the largest most complex real grade that was released recently more expensive than the most basic decades old master grades?
>>22739854It baffled me that they can make EG RX 78 weapons pack set as well backpack expansion for Striker but not fin funnel for EG Nu Gundam
>>22739879Yeah why is it actually? Real Grades were supposed to offer that complexity at a lower price point. All the early RGs are like 15-20 bucks. I got my RG Mk-II for 15 bucks. And the older MGs you’re talking about are straight up good. Better than most RG.
>>22739898Dang they even gave it the gundam hammer but no fin funnels for the nu?
Expecting RG Nu to be $15 is one of the wildest fucking things I've read here
>>22739904Given that the Strike backpack came out later I'm guessing EG Nu will get some option parts later.
>>22739901The early RGs are all 2500 yen. The RG Nu is 4200 yen which is pretty reasonable considering how much more plastic it has than early RGs and the more complex MG style inner frame. Also older MGs are absolutely not better than modern RGs when it comes to engineering.
>>22739901apples and oranges
>>22739149Honestly, even for early 2000s HG standards, what was up with the proportions on the chest? Was it just to accomdate for the Assault Shroud
>>22739992A lot of the HG SEED line just has terrible proportions.
>>22739992Most of the original seed line was trying to follow Okawara's lineart more closely than normal. As a result they have big clown feet and boxy torsos.
>>22740034Even when compared to Okawara's lineart, the center cockpit on the old HG is so thin and tiny
>>22739240More like the original Fumina model was just freakishly tall. She completely dwarfs other hg kits and is even taller than Frame Arms Girls. Most likely they made her so big to keep the scaling of the gun and backpack accurate to the lineart since its reused from the GM. The newer kits use the figurerise standard body that's much more in line for a typical hg sized kit.
>>22740037Probably to make it easier to fit the assault shroud armor onto it.
>>22737555post snapgod kinos

>>22740051>A tranny is much more skilled than /m/Not like this sisters.
>>22740150>seeing trannies where there are noneBro, you just posted cringe fr
>>22740141this artist-respecting Nu Gundam exists, and it got a reprint not a long time ago, like around 2018.
>>22740154>artist-respectingget a fucking grip anon
>>22740158you like artist-disrespecting kits like RG (Reddit Grade) Nu Gundam? that's cringe fr.
>>22740040i actually prefer the proportions of the original Fumina kit. the current ones/30mm sisters are too small for me
>>22740154I hate the Nu's name because it's legitimately impossible to search for in JapaneseYou search for νガンダム and it's a complete gamble whether you're going to get Nu or Victory
>>22740168no it's not and no you don't
>>22740171if you use the actual letter nu, sureunfortunately most people are lazy and aren't going to bother copy pasting a greek letter so they'll just use a v because it's close enough
>>22740151>from a tranny.
What paint mixers are you guys using? Mine just broke and I'm looking for a replacement.I'm looking at the Hobby Mio one right now.
>>22740195china make literally anything that isn't seed challenge
>>22740191i just hold the little jar of paint against a vibrator and that seems to work well enough
>>22740214not that gay pls. I just want a normal paint mixer.
>>22740051Mobile AGP gundam. >>22739702At least less worse than G-woke's ugly female design. Seed freedom rocks Luna and Agnes' miniskirts and Lacus' Mighty freedom suit. Cuz ZAFT is based yet. Not strong independent womyn shit like G-woke. Lacus don't count for she isn't combatant.
>>22740201But Bandai BTFOs Western action figures like Lego,mattel and hasbro. Can China beat Mattel and Hasbro with superior western tech?
i'm in danger
>>22740255Pregnant man figurise standard when? Mattel is selling pregnant man doll.China won't be able to rip off this.
>>22740195I always see that chest piece design everywhere in chinaman designs. These kits are for the lazy that doesnt want to detail or work on their kits.
>>22740261Yeah. And Chinaperson cannot design shield since they didn't used sword and board stance in history.
it's like watching an ai break-down real time
>>22739365>It's okay if you can't circle the differences anon, you can just admit they're the same.I know you are trying to shitpost, but very well, i will bite.
>>22740283It's an HG kit the fuck are people expecting? Some god tier model?
>>22740316it's been done before
>>22740323I still don't understand why Gyobu managed to design something that bland.
>>22740316Well, yeah, when it costs like RG
>>22740326that sounds like a "you" problem
>>22740328Blitz Duel is like 2700 yen. That's around 18 dollars and cheap enough for you to wipe your ass with. Meanwhile RG with a stacked box cost around 5000 yen, with some stickers ofcourse.
>>22740340it's about 3000 yen, meanwhile an average sized RG like impulse is... 3000 yen
>>22740316This "outrage" feels fake and gay. Blitz Duel still colorful enough without stickers. This is a step above compares to G-Witch kits where most of them are blobs with minimalism colorscheme.
>>22740349your post is retarded in at least two different ways, good job swetie
>>22740343>meanwhile an average sized RG like impulse is... 3000 yenBecause Impulse is such a basicbitch design. You give RG a busy and stacked design, the price will inflate. You are using an argument from a Japanese drama queen, who deleted his account 2 days ago. It is hard to take people like you seriously.
>>22740355and how is that even relevant? it's still an order or magnitude more intricate and better engineered than an hg of the same price, you're acting like a whiny child
What outrage?
>>22740356You say i'm a whiny child meanwhile whining about a HG with stickers. >it's still an order or magnitude more intricate and better engineered than an hgImpulse Spec 2 has that cheap price because it is a literall colorswap.

>>22740375>dipshit both impulses are 3000 yen, matter of fact spec 2 is 3100Read what you typed again, slowly. You get it now. Spec 2 Impulse is cheap is because it is a literall reprint of a 4 years old RG. Do you know the price of one of the latest RG, Epyon? 4200 yen. Inflation is a bitch.

>>22740446Nah I'm a Europoor, the shipping will be too much, appreciate it though.
>>22740446Ey I buy at that shop. Theres also another one selling it at cheaper rates.
>>22740420You mean best scale?
>>22740401The O always look like a deformed banana to me.
>>22740446with that price, you'd better off buying the Impulse MG's. at least you get free mobile suits out of it for the same price.
>>22740414the jet canopy ruins the design for me
>>22740366Impulse 2 only exists as a filler so RX-78 2.0 gets the 40th RG release, to coincide with Gundam's 40th anniversary.
>>22740510ah fuck that actually makes sense
>>22740501he looks like a yellow kkk guy
>>22740510Imagine if they just made sword impulse retail instead
>>22740506I think it looks cool. But if you hate it, you can remove it and replace it with something else since this is 30MM.
>>22740519i can always paint it to make it blend with the rest of the torso, but can't get off that "first impression" feeling from it.
>>22740524The canopy is in the same color as the eyes. And i don't think it is gonna be that "glowy" in eye's witness.
Do you think the rise of third party chink kits will make Bandai step up their game? Like make more 1/100 kits of some designs that have been neglected, more retail releases, open p-Bandai to eu and Canada and other places? Or will they obstinately stay the same crappy company?
>>22740533doubt it, these bootlegs are a drop in the bucket and don't threaten them in the least
>>22740533No one cares. 1/100 stuff is for children.
>>22740533I believe in the 2nd factory will usher in the golden age.
>>22740480L&J toybox and JNJT sell PBandai stuff cheaper.

>>22740541>1/144 is made to be affordable so children can buy it>1/100 is for children
>>22740549>1/144 is made to be affordable so children can buy itMore like manchildren in their early 30s with disposable income. Children buy Kamen Rider DX toys, which most of the DX are quite big.

>>22740553Another day of MGfags suffering, another day of happiness for me.
>>22740548Just buy on Surugaya.
>>22740544>also i am wondering if i want to buy the ReGZ 1.5, it seems high priced for a minor updateIt is very high. It should be the same price as the ReGZ 1.5 Unicorn Colors since it's basically a pallet swap. It looks like it has inflation built into the pricing.
>>22740555Without stickers, it is still a super colorful shit.
>>22740533no because it's a very small subset of people who are buliding them.
>>22740283I don't see a single circle here.
>>22740555Fuck you too, no kit shouldnt have any stickers.
>>22740562Not really. It has several differences in engineering and sculpting. It is just that they tried to keep the design as faithful as possible, leading to it looking cheap.
>>22740565>>22740538Didn’t someone here say the other day that chink gp02 was beating out some Bandai kits on Amazon?
>>22740570Because Bandai didn't release any ground breaking stuff during that time. G Witch just ended and Seed Freedom was still in the making.
>>22740571What if Bandai released their own mg gp02 2.0 during that time then?
>>22740572Wake me up when that Solomon studio become a billion dollar company.
>>22740569It's the matte finish, the left looks glossy while the right just looks flat.
What was the worst swing and miss by Bandai? Like kits they put a lot of money into that nobody cared about.
>>22740585MG The O
>>22740577Look at the head sculpt and shoulder joint.
Why isn't this a kit? REEEEEE
>>22740590I know, and I like the change.
>>22740569damn the unicorn version looks so much better
>>22740587How much did they really invest in it though? People noted that it seemed like an upscaled hg, and also the technology seemed at least a couple years older than the time it was released.
>>22740595even if they skipped out on funding the design itself, it was still the most expensive MG at its time due to the sheer size and bulk of it
>>22740587Was it really bad on release?
>>22740585AGE as a whole was a massive flop. Probably a very big part of why we don't get 50 episode Gundam series anymore or MGs while a show is airing.
>>22740585the entire Kyoukai Senki line. They made back some money by releasing Kyoukai Senki weapon sets which basically reprints all the AMAIM weapons including some original ones all in a set which is nice
>>22740600forgot to mention that the weapon sets sell out often, more often than the kits of the damn robots, even when AMAIM kits were heavily discounted in Japan, people were reluctant to buy them. Also Figurise standard Shion lol
>>22740597Three years later they release the Sazabi Ver Ka. You think someone would have gotten the memo and not produced that kit.
>>22740599no that's just the economy in general, 50 episode anime simply isn't feasible nowadays
>>22740585>Like kits they put a lot of money into that nobody cared about.Everything have a specific fanbase so it is hard to tell. But if you ask me, it is those Clear Ver kits. No one cares about those ugly shits and i believe Bandai rarely reprint them due to weak sales. This is even worse for premium tier kits like MG.
>>22740598Yes.>>22740602The difference is that Sazabi was a really goddamn good kit and between Nu ver ka selling well and Unicorn OVA starting off as a huge success it was clear UC was in vogue and worth the investment, they just had to do it properly.
>>22740601The Ebikawa/Yanase line sells pretty well, especially the Gouyo. But the original Okuyama line was a massive flop, mostly because the mech just look so weird and ugly.
>>22740603I didn't say it was the only reason but they definitely aren't going to take the risk again when the last one was a failure. There are still 50 episode yearly anime but they aren't common like they once were.
>>22740605>The difference is that Sazabi was a really goddamn good kitHindsight is 2020 isn't it? How do you tell the Sazabi is a good kit before buying it? Regardless of me addressing your point, that's completely unrelated to me mentioning that you'd think someone at bandai would have gotten the memo about the O flopping due to how big it is and not released a just as if not bigger kit 3 years later.
>>22740600Kyokai Senki line is HG and alot of them recycle each other. It is not as expensive as you think.
>>22740610>How do you tell the Sazabi is a good kit before buying it?...reviews?
>>22740611it was still a massive flop and bandai had to design molds for them which is expensive. They definitely did not see a profit.
>>22740610The O is not that gigantic. It is the same height as MG Sazabi. The actual reason it flopped because, well, the harsh truth is it is such a niche design. It doesn't have the mass appeal of Sazabi or Sinanju.
>>22740612Reviews weren't quite that common in 2013 as they are today. Reviewers also tend to shill whatever they are given. So what I'm getting at in jumping into this conversation because I am not >>22740595 is that we don't actually know if the O flopped. Bandai has released bigger kits than the O that cost more money and seem to move less units. We don't know why Bandai refuses to reprint it besides being an incompetent illogical company (See: MK V and FAZZ).
>>22740614They managed to salvage the line with Obari's youtube OVA. Protogouyo just got reprinted so good for them, i guess.
>>22740617
>>22740569actually, the pic you are using is comparing the ReGZ Unicorn version vs the ReGZ 1.0the Side-F MG ReGZ CCA ver is just a palette swap of the Unicorn version, just look at the head, the vulcans are molded in the same way as the Unicorn ver with the gray colored vulcans
>>22740601>even when AMAIM kits were heavily discountedAnd to this day, Kenbupede anon has still not posted their work.
>>22740617it flopped because it's virtually a 1/100 HG
>>22740618>is that we don't actually know if the O flopped.Oh it was a flop for sure. And currently, ironic enough, become a very desirable kit. Alot of Japanese are hunting for a copy and begging Bandai to reprint it.
>>22740617I didn't say the O is some monstrous kit, but I did say that the Sazabi is equally large.>niche designIt's a primary antagonist suit, literally end boss in Zeta.>>22740628>Oh it was a flop for sureBased off of?
>>22740630there are many, many reports of it shelfwarming HARD
>>22740622Why the fuck am I only seeing this now? That is so cool.
Are there any gudam designs that you like, but don't want to see on your shelf?
>>22740569This is a comparison between the ver 1.0 and ver 1.5. Not a comparison between the 1.5 CCA and 1.5 Unicorn. Both the 1.5 kits use the same mold with different colors.
>>22740635what?
>>22740630Several Japanese confirmed it was a flop. That's already a good evidence. Also, apparently, its release was a troublesome one and alot of collectors hated it.
>>22740628The thing is people who want the O are people who are sick of the Gundam kits, and wants something new and oddly designed.
>>22740623why the fuck wasn't this retail...
>>22740635Not Gundam but I like a lot of SRW original designs even though I'd never buy any. If someone bought one for me I'd display but I'd never spend my own money on them.
>>22740639This is probably why 30MM stuff resonates with me that hard.
>>22740628the problem with the O is that it was too expensive for what it is, 12000 yen for that not much parts.molding those large parts made the costs too high and thats why despite Sazabi ver Ka having more pieces, it was cheaper than the O by 3000 yen by breaking the large parts like leg armor and stuff into multipart pieces and bring down the cost of moulding and injecting
>>22740627I mean, The O itself looks quite complex already. I don't see any leeways to spike up the details.
>>22740646>same amount if not more plastic is used but because those parts are smaller it's cheaperCan you explain how that works?
>>22740647inner frame details would be a nice startalso no seam lines that they try to cover up with stickers
>>22740648That anon probably tried to say how The O has bigger mass than Sazabi, leading to big production budget. HG normally don't have this problem, but for RG and MG, every component of the kit are solid instead of empty, filled with inner skeleton.
>>22740585Metaverse. no one talks about it anymore.
>>22740585No gundam, certainly. Even stuff like AGE and its assorted merchandise was only a flop in so much that it wasn't profitable enough, not that it was a net loss for the company. For actual, genuine failures you'd have to look at shows that are almost entirely forgotten and haven't gotten any merchandise in decades because the last time they tried there was no interest.
>>22740648i'll try to explain it simple. tooling a mould costs upward from the simplest at 100000 USD to a lot complex upto millions of USDa large piece, lets say the huge chest or like leg armor can be very expensive to make a mould because large pieces needs a better design to not make the piece break/destroyed or prone to mistakes from stress/pouring the plastic in. and designing costs a lotthats why Sazabi ver Ka is a lot cheaper, they breaked up the huge parts into smaller pieces, smaller pieces mean they dont have to worry about the problems the big pieces make
>>22740651That's already a much more complex and filling innerframe compares to modern HG kits. If they want to add more details, redesign it to be similar to RX782 2.0 RG. More vents, more panel lines.
>>22740659>Spending money to re-design itOr they can just drop it on pbandai and save some money.
>>22740647Adding more Dakka will work. More arms for beam sabers and a bigger gun then they could call it Full Armor O
>>22740661Literally this thing from Build Fighters universe.
>>22740666What fuck I want it.
Here's your The O redesign
>>22740635If I like the design and a kit exists of it, why wouldn't I want to see it on my shelf?
>>22740674Reminds me of general class from FE.
>>22740666that's pretty fucking dope, except for the new legs.
>>22739647what the fuck is a bikini schizoyou know what, dont answer that. i have a feeling id be sorry i askednobody knows what youre on about dude
>>22740693I think it's something from buyfag on /a/
>>22739647>Bionicle should have lasted for 40 yearsCompanies don't decide how long something lasts, the market does. If nobody wants to buy it then they stop making it. Simple as.
>>22740693Some ESL who posts on a bunch of different boards about Japan "going woke" and shilling for China/Korea. Also likes posting Gundam analogies.https://arch.b4k.co/_/search/text/kishida%20bikini/type/op/
I want a Crossbone 2.0.
>>22740715That would imply a Ver Ka kit is capable of aging.
>Let's combine Wing Gundam and Iron man
>>22740743I don't see any iron man influence
>>22740651don't forget actually including four beam saber blades so it can actually be posed doing ITS ONLY FUCKING GIMMICK
>>22740743That's a 00 Raiser knockoff.
>>22740751>taste refined enough to rip off the 00 Seven Swords instead of Raiser >not talented enough to make it look any good
>>22740748For some reason I just immediately went to Iron man in my head with the red color and the face.
>>22740751Didn't they make another 00 raiser knockoff somewhat recently?
>>22740168>>22740174ニューガンダムretard
>>2274075200 Seven Sword knockoff would be this one.
>>22740760nah that's Qan[T] full saber, arguably Exia R4
>>22740765Extra swords are for disguise.
>>22740770i kinda see it, yeahstill, the way the swords are mounted in >>22740760 is R4 as hellI guess they are capable of stealing from several similar designs at once.
this is the only HG that comes with the regular cute beam spray gun, right?
>>22740756Yeah they did.
>>22740777What kind of tiny homosexual gun is that?>realizing that it's still the equivalent of a 20mm cannon
When you’re painting a mg with a lot of pieces, do you paint the same colors all at one like white red blue, or do you just go by subassembly like arms legs?
>>22740772What's funny about these knockoffs is, they are relatively original enough. But you can see obvious influences in their designs.Btw, there is a Calibarn knockoff in the making.
>>22740788You should paint everything that you intend to paint that color at one time. It doesn't make sense to paint red, then clean and paint blue, then clean and paint red again, etc.
>>22740790and of course it skips out on the best parts of the design
>>22740195>>22740743>>22740751>>22740760>>22740780It really is uncanny how they are practically the same.
>>22740780It's the same, only with blue instead of red, was the earliest pics showed. Seems like they scrapped the blue for red, there's also white/gray runners with the same parts. I was pretty disappointed in their other chink kit, the metal frame wasn't pre assembled, fitting issues with metal parts is such a pain in the ass
>>22740795>uncannyIt's a knockoff. It's like the PG Tallgeese that was released under another name.
>>22740797Honestly, these designs feel like AI generated stuff of existing designs lmao. Here is knock off Dragonar.
>>22740797Even then they should at least try and make something unique.
>>22740803Well, there is 1/100 Yanmie. You can see Armored Core influences, but atleast it is not an obvious Gundam knockoff.
>>22740807Lower half looks like some barbatos/other IBO gundam knockoff
>>22740809It is more like, Protogouyo head,, Armored Core thighs and attatchments, Barbatos arms, shins and crotch, Freedom shoulders and feet. An unholy abomination, but ironic enough, it looks more original than other Gundam knockoffs.
>>22740814This is why I just can't with knock offs, maybe a select few. They are really just a kit bash with overly dramatic detailing.
>>22740814I think it's mostly due to color scheme that invokes more of AC feeling
>>22740802Is it wrong that I think this looks good?
>>22740825Yes
My grey panel liner (GM02) isn't working, but it's still got some ink in it as evidenced by it exploding out (from between the metal tip and the plastic tube, not from the felt tip) when I shook it a lot. I already gave the tip a soak in isopropyl alcohol, and I tried hot water as well. The alcohol revived it a little bit, but that only lasted for a few lines. Any ideas?Also, how long are they supposed to last? This one lasted for like five and a half kits (mostly 1/144), which doesn't seem like a lot.
>>22740825Color choices are good. Maybe if you strip down the panel lining and decals it would work better.
>>22740825Yeah i think it looks good. Not as a design, but as a physical kit.
