Here is your custom made spraybooth bruv hope ya like it.
My apologies for the dumb question, lads, but I figure here would be a decent place for it.Does anyone know if they put out any Zone of the Enders model kits beyond Jehuty, Anubis, and Dolores? There are some damn good designs from the series that I'd love to build, but I can't find much info.
https://hjweb.jp/article/1725940/She made the best kit of this year, what do you have to say to her?
>>22865280i actually did this for like 6 months with acrylics, but i got a proper booth when i went to dust that year and realised all that "dust" wasn't actually dust but a thin layer of paint particles stuck to surfaces
>>22865302thanks
>>22865302I wonder if they'll give second factory's workers zeek uniform to contrast with the first factory
>>22865273That Metal Gear does it require paint and shit?
>>22865302I want to make her a mother.
>>22865302Do you think she likes a snapshitter?
>>22865302>first kit she designs is explicitly aimed at 40 year oldsbased ojisan lover
>>22865276What the fuck did you use as paint liquid eraser?
tipexshitter
>>22865312Oh fuck I really need to move my clothes away from the booth that I have.
>>22865300Kotobukiya also made a Vic Viper
>>22865302Thanks for the Moderoid Hagane, I guess.
>surprised bandai graciously gives you 2 whole stands in the action base>it only has one set of joint parts
>>22865337Ah, sick! Thanks, man - I'll check it out.
>>22865369
what do you guys use for display?do any of you have a big display case?I have a large space, 30 inch wide by 22 inch deep that I want to fill,, hopefully with something with glass panes I'm willing to pay more for LED white light already installed instead of having to buy them separately and do it myselfany advice?
I'm glad one of my local gunpla places doesn't have an online store, stock is a lot less volatileThink I'll just stop going at the other one physically cause you can't ever cop good shit
I finally finished the Motor Nuclear Ao Bing. I didn't realise the dragon was nearly a metre long.
I NEED EVERYONE TO POST GROUPBUILD WIPS SO I KNOW HOW BAD IM GOING TO LOOSE!!! CMON BROS I NEED IT!
>>22865302I want one of those jackets. As far as 'subtle' anime clothing goes it actually looks pretty comfortable.
What the fuck it got sold out all over the internet
>>22865419Turns out everyone loved the fuck out of Armored Core.
>>22865419nigger i replied to you in the last thread saying it was in stock on surugaya and aliexpress
>>22865428also solarisjapan
I think i'm going to gruntmaxx, any must have kits?
>>22865435Zudah
>>22865435the ones you like
>>22865428It got sold out on those site >>22865433They're charging over $100 for a $40 kit

>>22865302Marry me
>>22865409I've only seen three wips (Schwarzette, grimzockenstein's monster, and the monoeye hand) for it posted so far personally, so you're looking at 4th place at the worst.
>>22865435Jestas, Geara Dougas/Zulus, pale riders too.
So I bought my first RG. I really hate how the mechanics are preassembled on the frame (I don't know how they even accomplish that). It's extremely revolting though and this will be my last kit, I was expecting to put every part together by hand. This isn't a similar case with HG bandai kits right?
>>22865498What the hell I'm ESL today*this will be my last RG kit*with MG bandai kits right?
>>22865498HGs have no mechanics
>>22865498>Revolting about some nitpicky shitNah just pack it up and dont bother building anything at all.
>>22865508Don't think I'm being nitpicky just that the mechanics parts are really small and look fragile. I've only done HG kits before this. So I'm sort of excited just to jump to MG kits right away per the guide
>>22865435Magnac and Leo are pretty cheap kits but not really must haves. The Zudah is a must have though like the other Anon says, I really like that kit.
>AmaimWhy do I see shelf space wasted for this crap at my storeAre people actually buying them?
>>22865516Wait til it goes on a deep discount and then buy three kenbus
>>22865498i believe starting from Sazabi RG, the the "advanced MS joints" are very minimal, usually to justify the RG line's motto about pre-assembled frame.RG nowadays are just HG sized MGs
>>22865527RG GaoGaiGar and Goldymarg have no pre-assembled sections at all.
>>22865534But they don't really have any inner frame, right?
https://x.com/kurokassya/status/1840782369126826047
>>22865419Bandwagoners don't deserve oldgen kits. If you were a real AC fan, you would have owned this when they were first released.
>>22865559oh boo-hoo
What’s the most fun toylike kit you have? The one that’s the sturdiest or you find yourself reposing or just playing with the most?
>>22865565
>>22865516didn't know about them they look breddy goodi prefer smaller scales though
>>22865559>when they were first released.I wasnt even born yet
>>22865565>find yourself reposing or just playing withnone, i leave them all in the pose i decided on during assembly
>>22865534technically, the fingers are considered the "advanced MS joints" of the kitRG Eva has no "advanced MS joints" IIRC, but it has "multi colored parts" which Bandai can claim as the gimmick of the kit
>>22865574you weren't born in 2005?you have to be 18 to- wait people who were born in 2005 are 19 now?
>>22865572Looks cool anon, I always thought mecha-trains were cool, super Japanese.
>>22865577I respect it but that’s no fun, they’re not statues you know.
>>22865577Do you glue your joints, too?
I just got the Nu ver ka and heard it loosens over time, how do I tighten up the joints during the build to prevent this?
>>22865516No lol I only bought some cause my stores discounted them by like 70%
>>22865568I remember I was about to buy this kit but then stopped myself, seeing this, I remembered my reason for wanting it now, and it's to display it in this goofy transformation
>>22865619this but pharacto
Growing up poor and having to settle for chinese knockoff toys of what I wanted ruined this type of hobby for me. Everytime I think of buying a plamo I just think "Man I'm just overpaying for some Chinese plastic"Anyone in the same boat who was poor and now is buying these? How did you over this hurdle?
>>22865643most bandai kits are made in japan tho
>>22865643I was poor before but didn't buy bootleg kits and now I have money, I alternate between, and I'm always left with why do I keep buying these bootlegs.
>>22865273does the metal gear rex kit come with a little figure of snake and/or liquid
>>22865643They're not made in China though. The only reason things are cheap in China is because their wage is so low
>>22865565The zeon water niggas are top tier for posing. Love my aquasquad and I'm going to build a dozen bootleg GM so they have something to slaughter.
70 bucks for both. Bandai seems to be awfully gracious.
>>22865643Bootlegs were a joke back in the early 2ks, but now they're almost as good as the real thing for like 1/4 the price.
>>22865322Not required but it obviously will look great if it does get painted like the OP pic. It doesn't have the camo OOB
>>22865676excited for bootleg
>>22865406Yea things huge, once you get it and the model up on its display base it has a huge footprint. Good centerpiece
>>22865675Hell yeh, MG Zgock is on my shortlist.
>>22865312And now think of how much of it is permanently stuck in your lungs.Retards. Spray booths aren't enough. You need an actual well ventilated area and mask.
>>22865643For me there was no hurdle to get over. If you have the money to buy them and you like whatever model you want to get, you shouldn't feel like you didn't get your money's worth out of it by the end.
>>22865712I wanted this kit so bad but it was only available here for 150 fucking dollars, hell naw
>>22865676The clear paintable Psychoframe only comes with the full set, unfortunately. And I don't like how B-Packs looks so I shan't be buying it.
>>22865665Yeah you get Snake, sitting Liquid, and two Gray Fox. The MGS4 version comes with different ones.
>>22865745oh good so all the important things are still in there
>>22865746looks like a must buy for me then
does anyone know a place to buy the MG sized LEDs that ships internationally?
>>22865719none. the lungs self cleaning system is more than capable of removing paint particles, unlike say resin shavings
>>22865773if it's healthy, sure, but let's be honest your decrepit ass is not healthy
>>22865773Those "healthy" lungs will stop cleaning itself soon enough.
>>22865745I didn't like it too until I thought about it more.
Finally finished Structure Arts Zenith, something that was supposed to be small stuff to do while primer dry on MkII Gundam turned out to last for three days with lots of sanding, cutting and drilling. Ball joints couldn't even get into sockets without over sanding and I still did a little too much at the end (nothing a thin layer of varnish can't fix however).I love Front Mission designs. They deserve better quality kits, preferably by Bandai or Kotobukiya (technically latest 30MM is pretty FM like already but still).
>>22865806Just needs some topcoat and panel liner
>>22865862I was rather thinking of doing actual painting. Either urban, desert or forest camo. Gundam Mk-II is getting urban already so maybe other two.
>>22865862I feel like a bit of metallic drybrushing and maybe a couple rust streaks would be perfect to bring out the detail easily
I legit rather listen to mechagaikotsu than zak, you can tell the guy doesn't write anything in advance because he rambles way too muchA shame because i like that he does more generalist plamo
>>22865916MGK we know it's you. quit shilling
>>22865916what brought this on? everything alright at home?
>>22865919bro i haven't even done the annoying voice in years check my recent videos>>22865924not really no. I fucked up my dinner and my apartment is cold
I have had the Wing Zero Ver Ka sitting on my table for a year now because I don't know how to assemble the inner frame first and I'm scared to try
>>22865936i believe in you honey
>>22865943I keep getting told it's possible and that all MGs have inner frames but I can't see a way to assemble it that doesn't have the blue or clear parts mixed in with the gray and I obviously can't paint those
>>22865945oh yeah this is as good as you can do with it
>>22865548true; though the stealthgao section arguably has some inner frame
>god hands are $60is it really worth it
>>22865976It's an investment to make denubbing slightly faster.
>>22865976If you're poor it's not really worth it. Just get the $10 entry nippers, and x-acto knife and some automotive sandpaper. Personally I love it because it saves me a few seconds of sanding but that's all it's good for. Nobody is going to look at your kit and say 'OMG you used Godhands didn't you?!'
>>22865976Dspaie's and some other single bladed nippers can perform similarly, or just below them and can be picked up for like half the price, but Godhands are a bit better at the end of the day, but they really milk that cost to performance curve. It really comes down to how much of an impact 60 bucks is on your wallet.
>>22865976Yeah it's worth it, other nippers are somewhat close but just can't match it. Also don't be a retard and treat it with care. It's fragile.
>>22865995I'm gonna use Godhands on the HG Mazinger infinitism and you're not gonna stop me
>>22866000>TripsWelp do it, I kneel.
>>22865976I use them. It's a huge time saver, basically. Pretty much my build process is>nip off runner with tamiya cheapo nibbers>godhand for removing the nub>hit it with a hobby knife if anything is leftComes out virtually perfect every time, unless I slip with the hobby knife.Just follow the care instructions (ie: don't use it on too thick plastic, or on translucent plastic) and it'll last forever with an ultra sharp edge. Been using mine for years now.
How important is it to have good ventilation when working with Tamiya acrylics (or perhaps regular water-soluble acrylics)? Will a cheap spray booth from amazon and an air purifier suffice?
>>22866013how do you finish off with a hobby knife and never need to sand anything? I'd be too afraid to gouge the part.
>>22866016Steady hands.But yeah even I slip sometimes. It happens. You'll never ever notice it unless you supremely fuck up however.
>>22866017>Steady hands.ah, that's the problem then
>>22866019Rest the blade flat and push. You can hit it with a file after if you want. Not rocket science or anything.
>>22865976I'm gonna use this opportunity to shill the Valtcan nippers.
Why are all the hobby knife blades I buy so damn dull? I put a fresh olfa blade on my knife and it can barely cut masking tapeWhat the fuck
>>22866065You sure you're using the right end?
>>22866070Yes, obviously
>>22865976Buy the dspiae 3.0 nippers and a glass file. They'll cost less than the godhands together. Even with godhands, you still have to clean the surface of where the nub was. Only reason I own them is because they were a gift.>>22866015Why do you retards make this so difficult. If you're spraying anything, you're putting particulates into the air and onto anything in the surrounding area. Good ventilation is important for spraying any type of paint.
>>22866065Never really had an issue with Olfa blades. I do find i prefer using the smaller blades with a steeper angle over the typical no.11 style blade that seems pretty standardized. Unless I need the narrower tip for something specific.
>>22865302What does making gunpla with a girl feel like, bros?
>>22865790how did you do this? wire brush?
>>22866075>Good ventilation is important for spraying any type of paint.Right, okay. Since you ignored half of my post, I'll reiterate: I want to know what I need in order to achieve good ventilation and keep the room clear of paint dust. Will a booth/purifier/respirator do that?
>thinking bout unopened kit:)>thinking bout finishing current kit:(
Never built Gunpla before.Is this RG Zaku II good?
>>22866119Same, cleaning nubs and sanding takes up the most time for me though. Not counting waiting for paint to dry.
>>22865976I never stopped using my $10 nipper but I don't mind nubs
>>22866154actually i'm ok with cleaning nubs and sanding since it's active but yeah waiting for shit to dry and cure really takes the wind off
>>22866153It is good, but be careful not to lose the transparent eye lens or the piping pieces. I own two - one was my first Gunpla and both lost the lenses and a few piping pieces. Forever incomplete and I still feel guilty.
>>22866154>cleaning nubs and sanding takes up the most time for me thoughsame, hate it and it's 99.9% of the process
>>22866167It makes starting a new kit hard for me. Honestly, I wish I didn't buy like 90% of the kits I have and only bought the ones that really stood out to me. I went on a spree of buying kits that I thought would look good after being detailed & painted but then realised I absolutely do not want to detail & paint that many kits. I should really sell most of them and only buy the kits I completely love.
>>22866194Detailing is as easy as relaxing with a lining pen and slapping some stickers on while you watch youtube or something.Painting is for suckers. Most kits are molded in the colors they should be in already. Hundreds of dollars spent on bullshit to put it in the colors it already is in?>nb4 muh customizationYeah bro real creative doing Sazabi in candy coat or black.
Hey guys what perfect grade do you recommend me between the PGU and the Unicorn? I was thinking about the latter because I don't have any Unicorn in my collection while I already have plenty of rx-78-2, plus it's bigger and cheaper and comes with a stand. I don't really care for the LEDs either
>https://youtu.be/6by1kgiLOkk?si=RDcjK6KOkFbef5rkSlop review is here.
>>22866252stop linking to this creature
>>22866242If you want Unicorn, go for Unicorn, it's a very pretty design. Dalong really likes the PGU, I think the RX-78-2 can be boring looking but apparently they went all out designing this one. What I can tell you is that after reading various reviews of the PG Unicorn (I have one but have yet to build it), I would say don't expect to be able to pose it in much more than block standard poses, PG kits tend to weigh so much that the arms aren't able to support holding themselves plus a weapon at 90 degrees from the body without an extra display base.
>>22866274Yeah I think I'll go with the Unicorn, I want something different. Will be my only PG though cause I've run out of space
>>22865688Never bought a kit that wasnt a bandai one. Is this Kotobukiya similar?
>>22866252wow what a cool advertisement thanksguess i'll go buy the underprinted kit that he's advertising in the videooh wait...nope can't do that...so i guess i watched a manchild onions about plastic garbage for 30 minutes for nothing.....
>>22866252Wtf he talks like man but they show girls hands.... wtf
>>22866252>>22866334>30 minutes30 minute long video? But I thought people loved megagoy's reviews because they were 2 minutes? Now xhe's just like all those other pesky reviewers with their 20 minute plus long reviews.
>>22865389I got a bunch of antique curio cabinets when my grandma passed, they're in there. Honestly if I didn't have those, I'd probably have store display cabinets at best, something like these.
>>22865565HGUC Z'Gok is the best ¥800 you can spend on Gunpla. Kind of a shame that the plastic wears out quickly if you fuck with it as much as I do, but it's only ¥800, who cares, just buy a new one.
>>22866153Honestly, I'd recommend like three other 1/144 scale Zaku kits (Zaku II F2, either of the green Origins Zaku IIs and the Revive Zaku II) before this one as a FIRST build, but there isn't anything especially wrong about it.
>>22866371I rather the MG I just built the Char one I will get the blue one next
>>22865275>>22865276A minor groupbuild update on the ЗOГOК.Just fleshing out the limbs with fast curing Epoxy putty. Next up will be Greenstuff skin. The Torso armour and diaper are removed for better access to the inside bits.
>>22865916I like both in any case.
>>22866153no, almost all the RG kits before Unicorn suffer from Early Real Grade syndrome. If you want a zaku better get a HG like >>22866380 said or a Master grade.
>>22866469the real mvp is mj2005gundamthorough and to the pointbut he uploads way less
>>22866475>Early Real Grade syndromeAlso known as >skill issues>gunpla litmus test>tard check
>>22866252It was a very nice review, enjoyed specially the effort he put in weathering it.
>>22866476it's more valuable to have a source that reviews the kit you are interested in than another that hasn't even reviewed it. That is why MG and Zak are the MVP's. They may have their quirks according to other anons, but at least between those two you have a high chance of finding a review you are searching.
>>22866480the hallmark of the shitter contrarian is disregarding well known issues just to be a contrarian.
>>22866365my favorite part is how all my size requirements get ignored by every search resultI don't know why all web searches stopped working over the last few years, but god damn
>>22866252Why does he have the fashion of a teenage girl. His AC reviews are both weirdly distracting with how much he shows his sleeves and nails.
People here pretend to hate on MechaGaikotsu but we all watch him
>>22866522>we
>>22866522Speak for yourself, fag
>>22865273Can Badger airbrush lube be used on nippers as a coating/lubricant or is it too specialized for the airbrush?
>>22866522I can't stand his voice and his fucking hands, but moreso his voice.
>>22866475>Early Real Grade syndromeThis will never not be retarded
>>22866574It's real tho? Early RGs flop with time
>>22866587Its not. My second kit was an RG Zaku and it holds up fine to this day. IDK what you people are doing with your kits but if you want to play with toys, buy some robot spirts figures.
>>22866522Only thing I watch on youtube is One Page Rules related battle reports. Checkmate, faggot.
>>22866595Cute
>>22866495SEO optimization techniques
>>22866521only women fuss about clothes and nail anon.
>>22866589don't be so solipsistic fag
>>22866522I only really watch the belgian guy for random gundam news, dont rope us in with your fetish
i didnt go
Why is the Turn A so cool?
>>22866736>out of every adult in that pic, only 3 of them look like they're remotely in shapenorth americans are a unique species
>>22866079What about making girlpla with a gun?
>>22866522I only watch MJ 2005 Gundam
>>22866212>Painting is for suckers. Most kits are molded in the colors they should be in already. Hundreds of dollars spent on bullshit to put it in the colors it already is in?All kits look substally better after being painted. The reason my backlog is so big, is because I saw Rach of the kits after being painted and liked how they looked. Out of the box they don't look great to me and just hitting it with topcoat doesn't look fantastic either.
>>22866522They hate him because he is what they want to be. A successful gunpla reviewer that has a waifu while dressed like a fag.
>Finally get my HG Cuaron Use>See manual theres no model art cover on the manual.Is this normal? First time that I see Bandai not including a model art for the manual.
Bandai made many of clear variant kits but I barely saw people build it online
>>22866522his videos are usually being forced on me by the algo, but as much as possible i rather watch an equivalent review by Zakuaurelius instead. i really can't stand his loud and hyperactive voice.
>>22866589ERGS is a real issue for me because it's annoying as fuck to paint pre-assembled frames made from polycap material.
>>22866476He is limited by his financial issue.
>>22865273i don't remember this gundam, its a zaku variant?
>>22866858My Todesritter is like that but my Pale Rider isn't, just random pbandai shenanigans
>>22866955Seems to be intentional, the Gilboa Sant arrive a little while after and the manual is the same with no cover art.
never watched a kit review never will
>>22866522I only watch scenic medieval diorama builds and videos of Japanese guys engineering anime abilities into Mini 4WD.
>>22866900Clear kits are really an odd one, people buy it but it seems that most are ashamed of it. There's barely any reviews at all.
>>22866757One of the only Mobile Suit designs outsourced to a westerner, Syd Meade , a legendary futurist and artist.
>>22866900They kinda look cheap and tacky to me so I've never bought one, psycho frame on all my unicorns is enough for me, can't imagine buying a whole kit covered in it, if i want to see inner frame i'll just build without armour or only have armour on one half. Each to their own tho
>>22866900the only time i've ever seen anyone anywhere in anything build a clear kit was in that anime with the weeb elf girl living in a shrine
Crucial question for those who have handled it before: Is plastic cement a requirement in building the RG Zeta, with all the word about every piece falling off?
>>22867015They look a lot better if you bother to polish the plastic, the same way you would with car models, but I'm still not a fan of them. I assume they must sell well in Japan considering how many clear versions of kits exist.
Are there any good alternatives to MrTopCoat? (flat/matte specifically) This shit is sold out across Canada, at least all the best retailers... amazon has some but they are scalping the fuck out of it, like bitch I'm not paying $40 for a can. I'm basically at an impasse with my current build until I get some.
>>22867088mr super clear
new line whencan't go back to old clunky shit after wfm kits
>>22867088Embrace the bosny.
So when is chinaman going to make more kits? Where are my 5 dollar unicorn grunt kits chinaman? Where's my 10 dollar bylarant custom? My 10 dollar juaggu? Huh???
>>22867103Waiting on gundam netflix kits.
>>22867088This brand wasn't banned in leafland as well right? Just Tamiya spray cans?
>>22867110Anon Bandai forced Beijing to crack down on XFS (GM Spartan bootlegs) and other gunpla pirates.
>>22867090>>22867106thank you I'll look into these>>22867115not that I know of but wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason for the shortage, shit gets banned here like every other month.
>>22867125So a couple of months hiatus?
>>22867106>embrace bosnyim white and don't eat pagpag tho?
Boomer here. What is the best RX-78 in MG. Been into Gundam for years but never had one of these. Wanna do it right. P.S I’m a snapshitter I want it to look decent out of the box.
>>22867148Sounds to me like a skill issue.
>>22867150Literally any mg RX-78 from 2.0 onwards are good. Personal favorite is the 2.0, but origins is very stable and posable with no core fighter. 3.0 has the most details and is more complex but way less anime acurate if thats your thing.
>>22867150I swear to God if you're only 28 years old.
>>22867113more fucking zakus
>>22867162Hey, there's also Assault Guntank and cursed GM and who knows, maybe we'll get a surprise cameo of aquatic suits.
>>22867150Weird, did I not post any reply? The MG 3.0 is generally considered good, if you want you can try to get the MG gundam base exclusive rx 78-2 3.0
boomer here (29 years old) who loves building vintage (pre-2010) kits
>>22867150>I’m a snapshitter I want it to look decent out of the box.MG Origin or MG 3.0. Pick the one you like the look of the most. Or go all out and get the PG Unleashed.
>>22867159I was leaning towards the 2.0 , a super detailed RX-78 is cool but I think a cleaner design is truer to the 70s animation and feel. >>22867160Just turned 34 sonny.>>22867167Never seen this one, looks neat.
>>22867188Hadn’t looked at the origin design much. Will check it out. Thanks.
>>22867193>I was leaning towards the 2.0 , a super detailed RX-78 is cool but I think a cleaner design is truer to the 70s animation and feel.None of the kits are true to the 70s animation and feel, the 2.0 is just less detailed. Only resin kits really capture the feel of the classic Gundam.
>>22867230Well, the HGUC Revive is about as close to the anime as you can get without meme sculpts of animation errors, but that's a HG and not a MG.
>>22866462Does all the epoxy not weigh the joints down?
>>22867241The design is simply impossible to replicate faithfully while also including articulation.
>>22865516Protogouyo is the only good kit
>>22866736Oh deer!!
>>22866905I'm a newfriend to Gunpla and this Zaku RG is my fourth kit, and the first I want to attempt painting on. But I was confused what to do when I realized the mechanics were ABS and preassembled.I think it would just be easier for me to just avoid painting the ABS parts and paint everything else. The inner frame is supposed to be completely covered by plating anyway. Not sure if I'm alone in thinking of such a technique.
>>22867252Thats why I use giant 5mm polycaps. They hold.
>>22867193If you're looking for something close to anime accuracy then the 2.0 is really the only modern choice.
>>22867241you mean the best mecha collection revive
>>22867288You reminded me, on the kit I'm working on now I welded something that needed a polycap shut without the polycap and then somehow I was able to j-j-jam it in successfully afterwards. I underestimated their elasticity.
>>22865976they are worth it, but if you are painting you are probably sanding too. so it only saves a little time, theyre not super necessary.though I do get a stiffy from how the nipper goes through plastic like a warm knife through butter
>>22867288Huh, I'll have to pick some of those things up. Congrats on the groupbuild win btw.
There's no god damn way
>>22867351>limited goods get scalped and flippednothing new
>>22867110There’s an origin Gouf prototype and some WfM kit that are new on AliExpress. Think they came out recently
>>22867351>casually sits on your $3000 model
>>22867305I can't build without them.>>22867311Thanks for the support. Only about 42 people vote in these contests now, so it's really anyone's game. Besides, I'm nowhere near finishing with 30 days to go...
>>22867392Oh God, I didn't see that giant pube on its's leg. I swear my beard sheds in the fall...
Do you temporarily stop with your custom builds and build another kit? Im have no motivation right now to make more pla plate parts.
>>22867450I do whatever I want.
>>22867358Cats have good taste in robots.
>>22867450yes, but usually when i do this i don't go back to it. on my desk in my wip box i have a wave 1/144 kog with 75% of the joints replaced, an mg providence with half of the rubber pipes replaced with metal springs, and 3 almost finished painted kits (not customs) that just need a couple of parts stripping and repainting. all of them have been there for over 6 months, i think the oldest has been there for 1.5 years and the only one i've picked up and done more work on a couple of times since i put it in the wip box is the kog
Hey guys I have hundreds, possibly THOUSANDS of spare parts/runners leftover from custom builds/kitbashes and I don't know what to do with them. Is there a store, event, website, forum or any resource to get them to people who need it? I don't care about making money it just feels like a waste to throw them away or let them rot in storage. Some of them are even 99% still in box, just missing their weapons or accessories.
>>22867485local gunpla facebook group or ebay would probably be the simplest and easiest option
>>22867485post about it in here every thread because every few weeks we have someone saying they broke or lost a part and don't want to pay 3000 yen shipping from japan for a single part
>>22867485Keep them so you can make the Runner Gundam
>>22867488>>22867492I don't really have the time or the patience to post a listing for every single one though. Best I can do is type a giant list and take one big photo.
>>22865945you paint the parts *before* putting it together.
>>22867497that's already somethingI'd be interested in that myself too but I bet my left nut the shipping to my shithole will be lethal to my wallet so alas
>>22867506What exactly are you looking for? I don't mind paying for shipping if it gives me some IRL karma points
>>22867351Surugaya prices are insane sometimes. They've been trying to sell a MG infinite 2.0 for like $120. There's nothing special about it, it's just the standard retail release.
anyone here use uv resin? are the effects any good?
>>22867450I have at least 10 started but unfinished projects atm, maybe closer to 20.
>>22865945>I obviously can't paint thosewhat
>>22867358Looking for waterslides I see
>>228671502.0 in terms of value and anime-accuracy. Origin for engineering and articulation.
>>22867574i love the old MG Ver OYW, its a simple build but has great surface detail for the time and has a nice boxy chunk to it that newer, slimmer designs shy away from.
>>22867586G-3 and Hi-nu (purple) are my favorite gundams
Thinking of buying a cheap ass bootleg gunpla to practice making battle damage
>>22867586I love the G3. Is there a decent MG of it? Time to check Dalong and Ebay.
>>22867613G-3 has a 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 (this one is gundam base exclusive)
>>22867613it's gonna be a lot cheaper to buy a RX-78-2 kit and some paint
>>22867654
>>22867654i want to sex her
>>22867654This image cured my broken dick
shouldn't have watched Turn A with my ex
>>22867688if he's your ex then don't think about her
>>22867620Thanks for the info, Anon.>>22867621I have the RX-78-2 2.0 and The Origin MGs actually. But I did not want to paint those since one was a gift.
>>22867690that's fair really, though in case the 2.0 was the gift I think Origin Gundam works particularly great with these colors. Been theorycrafting turning the HG into the Late Type and using the G-3 color scheme.
>>22867691Yeah, 2.0 was a Christmas gift so it is precious. The Origin was $28 at Hobby Lobby and could get airbrushing.
>>22866903you are being fed his videos because you want, fag. If you really didn't want to watch them you would pick "Don't recommend channel".
>store guy tells me ting dont exist>it dointernet really made some jobs obsolete
>>22867791elaborate?
>>22867654everyone should have a MG Turn A, such a strange build but comes together so well.
>>22867793no real biggie desuI just asked if he had a specific marker and he straight up told me it doesn't exist in that colorI believed him but I checked and it's even listed in his online shop
>>22867797Got more pictures of your Turn A? I like the monochrome
>>22867826i based it on that one manga page with the mass production Turn A variants, there arnt alot of Turn A alternative colors to work with and most people just do straight builds.
>>22867834Great choice, that panel is great for fueling imagination. I'd like to do one like that too someday, but include the 7th GMPT
>>22867834hard to see in pictures but all of the white has a pearl white finish, looks really sharp at the right angles.
>>22867803I wouldn't blame him, probably doesnt even manage the site and or order product. I'm wageslaving at a grocery store and this is a common occurrence.
>>22867803This is why I always have a photo of what I'm looking for. Not every store personnel will know what inventory they have.
>>22867791God I hate when that happens. Went to Blockbuster as a kid and asked for 'the Macross game for the Gamecube' and the dumbass motherfucker told me it didn't exist. Went back next week and found it (technically it's called Robotech Battlecry but it's literally Macross) and showed it to that son of a bitch
leafbros...
>>22867849>>22867852yeah i was just feeling pissy and wanted to post some hate, it's not that big of a deal, though he was the actual owner or at least in charge of stock and not a just a cashier>>22867855i mean you could just say you don't have it or even that you're not sure it exists and check, instead of affirming it's not a thing, but whatever, markers ARE fairly adjacent
>>22867839>>22867834>mass production Turn Ashow horrifying.
>>22867115considering how critical those things are I think retailers would've said something if they were banned as well
>>22867861This sort of stuff will happen more around the world as time goes on. Same thing that happened to body spray aerosols in the 90s.
>>22867879Good. The multi-million dollar companies will adapt.
I havent watched IBO, but which decals would fit jackal here?
>Watching 0079>Realise why I didn't watch it before and its because I don't like Amuro and the RX-78.God I just want to skip and start Zeta.
>>22867901sir this is the plastic model thread
>>22866980Sometimes I watch them to see the toy size.
>>22867892None. Those are ibo decals. If you watch it or not is irrelevant.
>>22867927My bad sar, I mistakenly posted on the wrong thread.
God I wish I have the skills to scratchbuild.
>>22867855People don't know what Macross is in the US, especially from that era, anon.
>>22867399you gotta glue it there. its part of the horror.
>>22867485do you have spare dilanza or dilanza sol parts? even guels dilanza would work if you have the parts im looking for.
>bootleg Jestas around 30 CADGonna see if the price drops further in a couple of days...
I finally finished one again
Booty
>>22868010Bandai Jestas, HG & MG, got reprints recently so if they haven't already, they'll start showing up soon.
>>22868025>>22868027How the hell is it standing?
>>22868031I'm good at balancing.
Targets are breaking the street date on RFV kits. Speak to CS and hope they don't give a shit to get some.
>>22868025looks great especially the coats' contrast makes a dope accent heregood job!
>>22868027Walls Fall Out
>>22868043>RFV?
>>22868057Requiem for Vengeance. The UE5 movie with the ugly Gundam, the ugly Zaku and the disgusting character design.
>>22868067Ah, that thing.
Whoever wins this Halloween group build will win a box of my country's exclusive candies.
Samurai pizza cats
>>22868119
hey /gpg/ tourist here, do you guys think this mfer will come out before the show comes out or do these type of stuff usually come out way after (i believe its expected for october release in jp)?
>>22868122An anon here said target already got shipments but are not on shelves yet
>>22868124i just saw lmfao
>>22868124target?? i checked gundam planet and nothing on there @.@
>>22868067>UE5Does that mean the movie's gonna stutter like crazy and run like shit?
>>22868025Very good work anon, it looks great. The only advice I would give is next time when highlighting dark parts like the shoulder either use a slightly darker tone, or blend the highlight in with a thinned to shit version of the base coat. As it is the contrast on the highlights is just a little stark, but otherwise it looks fantastic. The shading on the lighter parts is perfect and the metallic red parts really pop. Do you have a better picture of the burnt metal effect you did on the thrusters? That looks like it came out really nice too.
>>22868131theres a trailer, looks like your generic 3d gundam desu, english dub sounds like dog as usual
>>22868132Yeah, I had this issue a little with the MG guntank I did too. When you leave it uncoated, or gloss coated before details/decals, the part looks darker. Matte coat always makes it much lighter. I'm glad you like it thou! I appreciate the feed back!
>>22868139Yeah, it can be hard to gauge exactly what it should look like before topcoating to get the finished look you want. Either way, it's just a minor nitpick on my part, I do really like how it came out anon. Keep up the good work.
>>22868139beautiful hand
>>22868159Gay
>>22868161yes I am.
New Tekkaman kit coming soon
>>22868198I look like this IRL
Is there a better combination for your display than Sazabi and Nu?
>>22868250LED Mirage and another LED Mirage
>>22868250Moderoid Dangaioh, Iczer Robo, Zeorymer and Hagane
>>22868250as many kotobukiya muv-luv TSFs as possible
I am starting to dig how it looks
>>2286825025+ unpainted GMs
>>22868361You just gave me an idea for a diorama. Sazabi and Nu duking it out while surrounded by Zakus and GMs cheering them on.
>>22867855this is how lost inventories usually happen. sometimes model shops will unearth an ancient kit from their warehouse because they thought they don't have them anymore. that's how i nabbed an old Aoshima GaoGaiGar kit recently.
so how many colorways of this knockoff pbandai jim spartan did they manage to pump out before the shengai police shot them
>>22868397A lot and they are still pumbing out recolors FYI, just not 1kit/week like usual.
>>22868399BTW, chink 1/100 black rider.
>>22868397>>22868399God I need to hold off on buying more chinkpla. I have the dom troppen sitting in my backlog.
>>22868401it's 11 usd shipped on aliexpress, just buy now and think later
>>22866736ummmm.... where are the airbrushesdont tell me toronto is full of sn*pshitters
>>22868250rg3.0 rx78 and best mecha collection rx78
>>22868397like 6 or 7 I think, and that's just the XFS recolors. JMS did their own GM Spartan too, though I don't think with any recolors.Effect Wings released one as well, but they threw in some actual original newly molded weapon parts too.
>>22868411>why aren't people bringing an expensive piece of equipment that requires space to avoid inconveniencing others, spraying paint all over or causing health hazards to an in-person event in a tiny crowded room?
>>22868400make bootlegs of the hg riders you motherfuckers

How different are Mr Color's aqueous paints in terms of performance (durability, vibrancy, coverage...) compared to their regular paints? They moved most of their licensed paints to aqueous now
>>22868503Colors and coverage isn't too different from Mr Hobbies standard Lacquer paints, but whats definitely noticable is the smell and durability.The fumes won't stink up the place when open the jar or spray it (but you still need to wear a mask with the correct filters). They're much closer to tamiya acrylics, so acceptable durability once cured but you'll need to wait a day or two before thinking about doing polishing work. Aqueous is far less tolerant to mark softer and other aggressive decal solutions so either use X-22 or a lacquer varnish prior or use less aggressive decal solution like micro sol.
>>22868503they're shitcrylics and not the children friendly kind, no reason to ever use them when lacquer paints exists
>>22868521>no reason to ever use them when lacquer paints existsI'm a yurocuck so we don't get the good lacquers
>>22868522>mr color lacquers>not good
>>22868529They're inconsistent, some of their paints are great but their regular range hasn't gotten updated in decades so it's far behind other brands in quality now, and most of their new releases aren't lacquers
>>22868534If you're willing to pay the price you can import glorious nippon paints folded thousand times from aliexpress
>>22868198Was this posted a thread or two back? I saw this posted before and want it.
>>22866736this is so alien to meWhat do they do, bring their own kits and sit around people to build them? Why?There are similar events near me in fucking bars with some 4th rate content creators, endorsed by shops who also sell some uninteresting kits there
>>22868603>anon is baffled at the concept of people spending time together
>>22868604legit yeahmodel building is such a solitary hobby to me, a lot of the satisfaction comes from the focus you put on it for mewhy would I do it with strangers
I'm doing the MG RX-78-2 Origin and I fucking detest the Emition Manipulator hands. Are there any good replacement hands for it available that are fixed in place and hold weapons?
>want to build kampher>realize it has a bajillion guns>get psycho zaku flashbacks>reminded why my aqua niggas are the best boys
>>22868621unlike psycho zaku, Kampfer is a fun buildit also already looks great with just one gun
>>22868403I love chinaman and wish him success in evading the bandai jew
>comes out tomorrow>still not a single kit announcedthink it's gonna be all p-bandai?
>>22868633Isn't it all recolors?
PGU Starry Night variant
MG Nu & Sazabi cross contrast color variant
>>22868637there's a wee bit of new stuff at least
>>22868606some people can't survive without the presence of other people and they stop existing when other people aren't observing them.
>>22868633>think it's gonna be all p-bandai?Obviously. All of that shiny coating ain't cheap. And also nobody have Meta Quest so no normies even aware it existence
>>22868621Only 4 guns
>>22868642>another re/100 jagd doga:(
>>22866736Oh shit, /ourguy/ is there at the far right of this pic
>>22866757I've been edging myself waiting for the preorder to ship. One of my favorite mechs of all time.
>>22868068I've been so thirsty for a UC story I'll likely down that gaijin slop.
Looking for a solid (as in doesn't fall apart) kit around the size of a standard MG with lots of greeble and/or spikes for my grandma, what would you guys recommand?
>>22868765
>>22868729I wonder if anyone really talks to him? he looks lonely here. This is my chance to one day befriend him.
>>22865276A gelgoog to go with buff zaku.
>>22868474>macross panelsnapshit deculturebros this is our year
>>22868809Man, that hand sculpt is unfortunate
>>22868850Yeah, it was a problem on the zaku as well where I used the other Brolly kit. I have no idea why they dropped the ball so hard on Brolly's fists not having molded fingers on the sides.
Japs really do have the best tools.
>>22868633All theeffort making this for 1% of the people
>>228689261% would be if it was a general VR thing, but it's exclusively meta quest to boot
>>22868926It's a Fr*nch production, they had to be bigger hipsters than the other western Gundam entries somehow.
>>22868640What did you use for that clear parts on Nu?
>>22868366this would unironically look amazing, but too expensive and would take up too much space
is there any point in getting the perfect grade Unicorn now when the mgex exists?
>>22868926It's trying to get people to buy that meta quest shit. Personally, if I was in charge, I'd make the best VR POV anime girl sex games exclusive on the meta quest, and I guaranteed a ton of people will be saving up money to buy it.
>>22868937that's the chink recolor of Nu and Sazabi recently announced on chink wonfes.
>>22868952larger, and the "unchained" gimmick exclusive to that kit?
>https://youtu.be/hw4BeXUtfeU?si=Bqh7uiSUBPuGyHj6Koreans are really ahead of the curve arent they? Having a gunpla studio with a monthly membership seems nice.
>>22865565Literally a reverse-engineered toy you put together, and so it requires some sanding and strength to put some pieces together alongside not speeding through it and seriously considering the orientation of smaller parts so everything actually fits together. Once it does, though, the only thing finicky are the chest windows and the head. Everything else is stupidly sturdy, flexible without being limp, and fun to fuck around with posingwise. Just don't touch the head or chest unless you glue the window pieces to the frames. There's sadly no salvaging the head.The HG 00 kits are also exceptionally toyetic compared to most model kits, thanks to how simplified they are while having a surprising range of movement for their age.
>>22868983Something like this could probably work in LA or NYC. I've thought about trying to open one since I have time and money now but I'm scared nobody will use it.
>>22868983not to be a weirdo but I would have liked to have a gunpla wife like this
>>228671501.5 MG is the best for snapshitting and being the fucking RX-78-2 as the fucking RX-78-2. 2.0 adds unnecessary details even further and 3.0 is one of the single most anti-snapshitter MG kits to date.Origin is next best if you don't mind it deviating from the print, but 1.5 borrows from the PG while keeping things simple on the outside where it SHOULD be.
>>22868983It helps that probably A LOT of Koreans enjoy plamo beyond snapping. This wouldn't work in the West, this hobby is still niche despite gunpla gaining popularity and attracting newcomers. I can only see such a studio here have the usual boomers use it regularly, with a couple 20~30s year olds.
>>22868983>Their booth mogs my ramshackle desk.Not like this bros. I might try to replicate this with a bigger desk space.
>>22868990>NYCI won't ever do business in NYC just because of how hostile they are to business owners.
>>22868991We all do anon. Imagine, having a waifu who builds paints, and enjoys gunpla/figurines.
>>22869009and pretty too
>>22868983we have something like that here in the Philippines too. i wanna visit, but it's on the other side of the country for me.
>>22868983Her husband was giving himself fucking brain damage huffing paint. She said he used to complain about feeling drowsy and his eyes burning after painting, she asked him if he was wearing a respirator and he said no because he had a booth. Fucking mongoloid was breathing in paint for hours at a time and never stopped to think if the burning sensation was an issue.
I'm trying to do some kind of shading with real touch markers. I've seen a couple youtube videos so I get the general idea but i'm still lost on where exactly I should apply said shading.I see people "outlining" parts and filling in panel lines, wiping up the paint to make the inside of the part stand out like it's more exposed to the light, but I'm used to Warhammer tutorials where they want to highlight edges instead, so I'm at a loss for what logic to use. Any advice?
>>22868633The art is mostly women so my interest was lost.
>>22869034gay
>>22869037Hardly. I appreciate women, but if I see mechs fighting I want male protagonists that are not retards. Kamille gets a pass though.
>>22868606not just strangers, from the look of the pic they also have obnoxious "comedy" anime playing in the background for noise pollution too
New P-Bandai drop tonight
>>22869061>bandai made this bullshit leo r before Virgo 1 and 2
>>22869061Gato's Gelgoog! Woo!
>>22869059based
>>22869062You already know it's coming bro just wait
>>22869072You told me that 6 years ago.
>>22868809That's just Robin Mask from Kinnikuman.
>>22869077I've been waiting with you all this time
>>22869061Dude fuck yeah I've been wanting a PG Blue Frame for a while. All the ebay scalpers asking for $400 can go FUCK themselves
I'm fucking mad that only the first print of this lets you attach it to previous gen ACs. And everyone online wants $250+ for it
>>22869081
>>22869062>Virgoall i want is Taurus why is that so hard.
>>22869100Both. Bandai will shit out 5 different versions of the faggot gundams but not the awesome grunts from Wing.
>>22869107it will be p-bandai anyway
>>22869108Fine, I don't care. I have given up. Just make the fucking things instead of the shitty resin.
>>22869108Regular Taurus (black) will be a general release but the white and red versions will be P-Bandai
>>22869112after p-bandai deathscythe hell?lolas far as retail Wing kits go the most you can hope for are first Tallgeese and Epyon.
>>22869119part of me wants deathscythe hell to have been P-Bandai only because they're still afraid of what happened with the action figures back in the day, but that wouldn't make any sense for it being P-Bandai in Japan, too.
>>22869130also the MG was retail, it and Wing Zero are the only kits from EW that appeared in it and have regular retail MGs
>>22869003What's so anti snapshitting about the 3.0?
>>22869148absolutely nothing, like every other kit
>>22869061They really can't help themselves, can't they?
>>22869091Just 3d print the connector parts, it's not that many and they aren't that intricate
>>22869062>>22869100With how prominent they were in the show, I would expect Aries, Taurus and Virgo to be regular retail, at an eventual date. Noin version will be P-Bandai, and eventually Virgo II also P-Bandai since it only showed up at the end. Cancer and Pisces also too big and weren't used often enough in the show to be retail. And then Serpent as RE/100 P-Bandai, because all the EW designs are 1/100 scale only.
>>22869061>full package comes with not only the clear Psychoframe, but also an extra Action Base 4 and custom waterslidesI'm still not going to buy this since I already got the C-Packs over the summer, but goddamn am I mad.
>>22869180Heero spent more time in Mercurius than in Wing, prominence in the show doesn't mean anything
>>22869176Is there even an STL file available?
>>22869188I keep seeing this shitty meme being reposted like it was funny. He only piloted it for two episodes, Wing was center stage for at least the first full third of the show and is the titular Gundam.
>>22869198you're a fucking amnescia
How's the SD Neo Zeong bootleg?
>>22869212it has a bootleg???probably pretty alright, depends on company
>>22869112That is massive copium, bandai knows how the Virgo, Taurus, and other Wing grunts tickles the fancy of Western fans, and WILL be p-bandai.
>>22869168PSYCHO FLAME
>>22869222first it will be Gundam Base exclusive, just for the lols and the extra fuck you the xenophobic execs at Bandai Hobby crave. This has the added benefit of teasing the west with Japanese posted kitbashes and what not in social media.
>>22869185At least you have the option to buy it. Us Eurocucks will get the option to buy it for double the price via resellers if we're lucky. In general though, Bandai are really starting to push it. The clear psycho frame only being a part of the full bundle and not part of the expansion set is super bullshit.
>>22869270in bootlegs we trust
>>22869270I don't get how p bandai worksWe supposedly have it here in france but the shipping is 12 fucking bucksIs it literally just the privilege of being allowed to order from japan? why only in france in europe?
>>22869289It's the privilege to pay more money for kits that are exclusive to their online store. That's literally it.
>>22869289>Is it literally just the privilege of being allowed to order from japan?Lmao if you think shipping from Japan to France would be $12. They very rarely put things up on PBandai France and when they do, it's not the same stuff they put on the other PBandai stores so it's basically useless.
>>22869302>They very rarely put things up on PBandai France and when they do, it's not the same stuff they put on the other PBandai stores so it's basically useless.lol the fucki mean based bandai gatekeeping us from buying overpriced items
>>22869289>the shipping is 12 fucking bucksIt's $10 in the US, which is only marginally better. The goal is to get people to buy multiple things each month and consolidate them so that the shipping charges get spread out.
>>22869315Except you can't consolidate half the shit. I have a few orders pending right now.
hearing about trouble with p-bandai is like being cucked out of a cbt session
>>22869315Free shipping coupons / codes are a dime a dozen if your explore external sources though.
>>22869325Please share. I've only ever gotten one free shipping from the site itself once, and I've missed a few purchases because there was only one thing in a month's catalog that I wanted and I couldn't justify it (or it was a no-warning In Stock item).
Anyone participating in the Gunpla Secret Santa this year?
>>22869315they should release more than one fucking thing i want a month if that's the goal
>>22869357Where?
>>22868124Target in US hasnt even ordered RFV kits yet.
>>22869410reddit
>>22869410A GIRL
>>22869015See this is why I don't trust those people posting about inhaling lacquer fumes and say they have no issues.
>>22869423Aren't random hands enough for you?
where is my gallus j perfect grade
>>22869321Did you pay with paypal? You can't consolidate if you pay with paypal.
>>22869520No, I use my credit card.
>>2286946799% of those people are just shitposting but you don't need to listen to anyone when it comes to this shit. You can look up material safety data sheets for all paints which show what's in them and how toxic/carcinogenic they are. You don't want any atomized paint in your lungs, the effects of it are compounding.
>>22869527Skill issue
WTF i suddenly like Schwarzette now!
interesting reaction to the dino bikes speeding by
>>22869569Anything looks infinitely more cooler with Sinanju's frame.
This actually looks pretty good

>>22869736speaking of, i hope i can get the Puni Mofu Mao when they arrive at our stores. i kinda regret not pre-ordering this considering it's selling very hot in Japan right now.
>>22869802How is Bandai unable to replicate this? their 30MS line is okay but nowhere near Kotobukiya's musume kit quality
holy shit, some of you are lost causes
>>22869883I look like pic related IRL, your words mean nothing to me.
>a fucking bonsai plamothe MG line died for this!
>>22870053Bonsai is the real ojisan's hobby.
>>22869736/ourguy/ just enjoying his kits and figures.
https://www.gundam-base.net/products/details.php?detail=6355>HG G-Self 1.5>Gundam base exclusiveFUCK! FUCK! FUCKCKKKKKKKK
>>22870105It's okay, it'll go from base exclusive to regular PB in a month or so.
>>22870111not any better for me
>>22869357Stopped few years ago after being tired of admin/mods shit.
>>22867327Who let Relena decorate the Wing Zero?
>>22870105There's no chance in hell this would be a regular release when the RG 1.5 Freedom was also an exclusive, but damn, it still stings.
>>22867327I don't know why, but this is giving me jem and the holograms vibes.
God will they ever make a Gaia gear official?

>>22869467the first time i used lacquers i was still using a cardboard box instead of a spray booth (i was poor and didn't know how much i'd enjoy painting so i went for the cheapest of everything possible at first) and it was awful. got a nasty headache and a weird almost vertigo-like feeling. that's what made me finally get booth, and i didn't spray lacquer again till i got one. i still don't use a respirator but since i got a 180cfm chink spraybooth (that people always say isn't good enough) i haven't had a single headache or dizzy spell after painting, and my room is clear of fumes within 10 minutes of finishing if i keep the filter fresh (i generally change it after every kit and use cheapo wool aquarium filter that costs £5 per metre on ebay. well its more like £10 per metre really because it's about half as thick as those 2 part blue filters so i double it over)
