>>22907999I thought FSS kits needed glue
is it possible to recreate this kind of reflective gold with painting? I think it'd look really nice on a 30mf knight
>>22908074metallic gold marker/paint
>>22908074One way to get a really nice finish is to use chrome or gold metallic paint and then build up color with layers of clear paint.
>>22908074Afaik it's basically a yellow layer over chromed pieces? Not 100% sure, I might be retarded
>>22907942samueldecal is basedgot good cheap waterslides and fully articulate hands there with no hassle
>>22908135Samueldecal donates money to Abu Nazir
which one between these three is the best?
>>22908182
>>22908176say no more, I'll buy more
ITT: NEVER EVERS that you seethe about
>>22908245zaku kai HG but with RE100 proportions
>>22908245MG F89
>>22908260You want that more than the MSA-120?
>>22904703>edge highlighting on clear-color kits this is a surprisingly sexo resultI am no longer racist against transparent plastic.
>>22908262You can also just paint clear plastic
>>22908074you can get nice gold metallics but nothing that looks exactly the same as electroplated kits>>22908264but why even get a transparent kit in the first place if you'll use opaque paint? they're more expensive and ""exclusive"" kits and the plastic quality is worse than normal styrene (harder and more brittle etc)
>>22907938oh wow! G-reco kits that aren't the G-Self are now Gundam base exclusives now...
>>22908266Not a single statement in your post is true. You can get perfect metallic without electroplating if you're skilled enough. Clear kits cost the same as regular kits if you buy them directly from Bandai. Just because your shitty local store charges more for them doesn't mean that's the norm. And the plastic quality is exactly the same. It's not brittle and nobody has ever proven this claim. I've painted several clear kits and never ran into a single issue.
>>22908273Koggers!
I summon GroupBuildDude!Oh great, GBD, please extend the deadline! Ending on Halloween was a cute idea but losing a month's worth of time isn't!
>>22908273i want that acerby so bad
>>22908273...you do realize the notices are about purchase limits per person, right?
>>22908271>It's not brittle and nobody has ever proven this claim. I've painted several clear kits and never ran into a single issue.anon, you can tell at a glance that the bandai clear plastic is harder if you've ever used nippers or a hobby knife on it (that's exactly why godhands say not to use their expensive shit on it)harder plastics are inherently more brittle, more likely to crack if a joint is too tight etc. although bandai engineering is godlike so you won't have fitment/tightness problems like that in the first place unless you fuck up the joints by thickening them with too many layers of paint. >You can get perfect metallic without electroplating if you're skilled enoughI would love to see some examples of this if you have links or videos. Paint is a lot better than basic metallic coating for sure but I haven't yet seen any custom paintjobs that outshine the finish on stuff like the fancy new plated RG akatsuki.
>>22908273why does the sigma body not come with a headwhy are there no standalone heads except the imas ones. fuck idorus
>>22908291The guy who painted this resin kit didn't use any electroplating he just sprayed a really fancy Japanese paint on it, Krome I believe it was called
>>22908297What about the eclipse?
>bestfriend got my rg high new and god from japanWell fuck. Now i feel bad for not buying the fin funnel expansion pbandai set.
Tempted to get Second V but I don't know if i can paint all the tiny red circles. My plan is just to use a red marker and slowly chip the excess with toothpick and cotton bud are there any better ways?
>>22908294So Bandai can get you buying the hair sets, faceplate sets, or body sets for extra head or head accessories. Or just an Acerby.
>>22908369Yeah have you considered a brush? You only need a wash for the panel line half too.
>>22908074You can't get the exact same thing but you can get close with clear paints. Something like a yellow/brown mix over chrome
>>22908374i prefer soft-tipped marker for very small parts because it has some hardness inside the tip unlike brush which is completely soft
>>22908378They make firm brushes for your exact purpose
>>22908074https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gQH8RM1z6oThis is just one way, but there are a lot of steps to it.1. Gloss black base2. Chrome on top3. Clear brown+yellow4. Lock it in with gloss clear coatThere's also the electroplate method, which involves powder and all sorts of other stuff, but it's a lot more setup (even though I think it's supposed to be more foolproof).>>22908368Honestly, that's something you could replicate with a 3D printer and a few knockoff display stands. And I'm sure I've seen similar third party expansion sets that you can buy without pre-ordering months in advance.
>>22908393any good rec for brush maybe i will get a tamiya brush set
How do I become lacquer
>>22908411dissolve yourself in lacquer thinner
>>22908411leave an open paint pot inside CPAP machine so you can absorb the fumes all night
>>22908135Excellent. I ordered a set of decals and the expansion kit there, paid out the ass for shipping though. The eBay seller I found would have been less expensive overall, but they were charging more for shipping than for the kit itself. But what the hey, first time trying to add third party decals to my shit, learning experience and all that shit.
>>22908406Not him, but what about this guy's stuff? Sorry for the awkward screenshot, his site is weird.>*THE WORLD'S GOLDEST GOLD - metallic acrylic paint by Stuart SempleThe only downside is that if you use this you may compromise the gold with a top coat. He has a mirror finish that I bought which I haven't really used yet because I'm not sure how to protect it.
>>22908420>acrylicFrankly, that is likely not something designed for model kits. Or for coming out of an airbrush. I never even heard of that brand before now, so it's likely that it's not formulated for model painting to begin with.
>>22908424He does state that you should dilute it 30% with water for spray painting. And he paints spoons lmao https://youtu.be/MxvSMooxeKg?si=i1oDhuJ1RYzkqJWz&t=97
Gonna be using Mr. Primer Surfacer for the first time shortly. Is it supposed to be thinned down to the same consistency as Mr. Color paints? Also, how many coats of the stuff do I need before it's ready to have paint put down over it?
>>22908424anything can go through an airbrush if you can thin it properly and aren't a retard.
>>22908448
seems like a fun time
>>22908455I always did 1:2 for mr surfacer
>>22908465this is like a 40min drive from where I livebut I don't have the fuckin balls to do it
>>22908465any 30 minute sisters in the house this time
>>22908471It could be a blessing in disguise, some anon might snap a picture of you and decide you're worth making fun of because of your choice of kit or overall looks
>>22908465seems like torturei want silence when I build, i wouldn't even want to build next to monica bellucci, especially if she's gonna brag about her neckbeard imported paints
>>22908465where's /ourguy/
>>22908534front left with the finger gun
>>22908535couldn't tell it was him, damn, is he always at these events?
>>22908465Why is Uncle Muscles showing up to the group build in LARP gear lol
Do godhands really simplify the process to just snip off the runner, snip off the excess? My xurons have dulled to the point they slip off trying to snip any gates so I'm debating whether to just replace them with something similar or pay the huge price for the godhands
>>22908539Godhands are great but even if you cut the nub off at the surface of the part, which you shouldn't do anyway, you'll still have to clean the surface up. If you're not painting a kit then using a decent pair of nippers & finishing it with a glass file will give the best results with the least amount of effort. If you're painting then cutting it close and finishing it with sanding paper will do since you need to prep the surface for painting anyway. Personally I'd buy the dspiae 3.0 nippers. They're way cheaper than godhands and are like 90% as good.
>>22908539They're worth it in my experience, they've lasted me a long time now and probably a hundred kits. I don't have much experience with any other single bladed nipper but from what I've seen most of the competitors are fine.
>>22908465I wanna show up to the next one so you guys will unknowingly post a picture with me in it
Big old 1/60 bazooka, same size as the 1:3 M4 behind it.
>>22908283*sending message directly into GBD's brain via astropathy*
>>22907994Progress on my Gelgoog Marine. Touched up the paint where my grubby paws messed it up and drilled a little hole for an HGGtO Beam Spray Gun to slot into on the front skirt
>>22908577Is that a 3rd party PGU?
>>22908592My eyes at first didn't realize that those was the doga backpack on the back of that Goog. I liked the giant ass pauldrons I saw for a minute.
>getting tricked into buying the same kit twice Why am I like this
>>22908660*checks the price* wow. at least it's a cool kit
>>22908286Shelfwarmer posters are an exceptional breed of retard. They can post a product released 2 days ago and claim it is not selling fast enough, even though Bandai printed enough to last for 2 years.
lots of builds and designs made me change my mind on things but it still didn't happen for the full gold plated look
>>22908660You only need to buy it once, the HSGK is probably 10x easier to work with
>>22908465>>22908534Hopefully they take more pictures because I'm sick of seeing the retards in these threads post the same ones over and over.

>>22908791I do too and I'm still in my 20s
>>22908797The fuck is stressing you out at that age.
>>22908800it's just genes man, my uncle greyed out early toomy autism levels are too powerful to stress out about anything
>>22908791Building coompla is stressful
https://schizophonic9.com/re9/hg_gunleon.html
>>22908597Daban PGU in G-3 colors, its pretty similar to the Bandai kit but has a bit more flashing and cleanup needed from cheap molds.Picked up a pair of third party 1/60 Bazookas from Ali Express to go with it and G-3 waterside decals because Daban only included markings for the RX-78-2.
>>22908715>>22908720Planning to pick this up once it starts hitting my stores. Did you get it from a local store or a Chinese seller?
>>22908961I got it from a Chinese store, pretty good price too.My closest local store is a hobbytown that doesn't even have the seed freedom HGs yet, I wouldn't count on them ever getting cool Chinese shit
>>22908970How long was the shipping?
>>22909063i ordered oct 08th so 18 days.upper end of the 10-20 range they give
I am currently in the greater Tokyo area looking for a RG RX78-2 (and the Best Mecha Collection RX78-2 Revival version). Last week on Saturday I saw some RG 2.0s at AmiAmi in Akhihabara but I wanted to buy it at the Gundam Base Tokyo, only to find out that I can't enter that shop on the weekend without a raffle ticket. Yesterday I went to Akhihabara again and searched at the Gundam speciality shop, AmiAmi, Yellow Submarime, Bic Camera and Yodabashi Camera, but came up empty handed. I am thinking of trying the Gundam Base again on Monday afternoon when one can hopefully enter without a ticket. Any recommendations where I could find these kits would be greatly appreciated. I feel like an idiot for not grabbing the 2.0 when I had the chance.
>>22909107Have you checked mandarake's physical stores? Any of the million thrift stores that carry hundreds of models? Only things that come to mind.
>Calrea not compatible with proud defender without modifying the backpack.Its so over bros.
>>22908874Bellzelute Brigandy when? Lion when? Banpreios when?
>>22909107You'll be able to go to the gundam base on a weekday without needing a ticket. It's always packed on the weekends so avoid it because the wait times can be 2-4hrs. Gunpla prices in Tokyo are absolutely fucked right now for anything other than retail kits and you should avoid Akihabara for buying things in general. Try Nakano broadway, it's a bit better than Akihabara.
What does /m/ sip while they snip/snap?
>>22909128water

>>22909128I don't. I'm usually gluing or using glue accelerators, or mixing epoxy putty. No food or drink for me till I 'm done.
>>22907993>>22907994Roughing in the colours for the Zogok. Never thought silver and gold for Halloween, but I sure everyone else will be painted green and orange and purple. Still lots to do before Thursday, but I should make it in time.

The RFV Zaku is probably one of the best looking High Grades I've ever built, and my scrappy panel lining really works for it I think.
what size metal eye piece would you want for an RG zgok?

Hahahahaha Bandai is full of greedy retards.
>>22909363i cant believe the gundam took a shot in the chest from an anti ship rifle and didnt even get a scratch, i thought those pack a punch canonically
>>22909368Gundarium alloy is the explanation for it...except when it doesn't work because war le bad needs to happen.
>>22909369Are heat swords strong enough to damage gundarium?
>>22909180
>>22909120We need Soulgain to go against Alteisen
>>22909373heat weapons working makes you wonder why they needed to switch to beams in the first place
>>22909408Beam is essentially heat damage but far ranged. The reason why anti beam material or coating works is because they deflect the long ranged beam, not entirely resist it. This is why beam saber and heat weapon can cut through gundarium or any anti beam coating. They can't bounce off something with both blunt physical force and heat applied.
>>22909128Monster. Or stuff in cans. Generally don't want to drink from a glass so I don't end up drinking my paint water on accident
>>22909128Nothing. I don't want to drink microplastic from my finger.
>>22909333Exactly! SMP and Bandai's usual model kit stock is on the same level. Still, why has nobody replicated Akashic Breaker with an HG Cybaster and SMP R-1 (Kai)?
>>22909128Plain water in Big Gulp-looking cup with straw.
>Online gunpla store "based in Birmingham">Look at payment history>Sent to china netizenSo that's how they have so much pbandai stuff
>>22909613Back then, the Brit sold actual crack to the Chinese. Nowadays, they are selling plastic crack to the Chinese. Something never change.
>>22909613There's a lot of stores in the UK run by people originally from hong-kong or have family still there. I assume you're talking about ilovegunpla. He lives in the UK and has stock in the UK but he's buying it from Hong-Kong rather than through traditional suppliers.
>>22909631If you know about Honkong, it was UK's colony for 99 years. Hongkong's culture and even down to their birth names are influenced by UK. Even until now, there is still a disdain toward mainland Chinese amongs Hongkong people, the lifestyle, the culture and most of all, political belief are all so different.
>>22909641I'm aware. I live in the UK. >Even until now, there is still a disdain toward mainland Chinese amongs Hongkong peopleI'm aware. It was only in 2020 that the CCP forcibly removed members of their government.
Do you want a revive HG of the GP01 and GP01 FB? It's more or less gonna be an excuse to make an HG GP04 and hopefully the GP00 Blossom, regardless of both becoming P-Bandai (I will get the GP04 to kitbash with the Full Burnern for obvious reasons).
>>22909644Kinda unreal how UK nowadays don't seem to be that different compares to PRC. Both seems like dystopian nightmares for anyone who lives there.
>>22909646Bandai should revive old HGs using Seed Freedom's joints. They are fairly strong and sturdy.
Finally got my Turn A in, can't wait to build the mustache and cow. Ended up ordering it from a different retailer and got it in 3 days while USAGS still hasn't delivered despite pre-ordering it like 3 months ago.
>>22909666I can't take the penis joke seriously.
>>22909666The Turn A is an excellent design, but not as great as the Turn X. REPRINT THE TURN X!
>>22909646>Do you want a revive HGNo.
>>22909180Why is he communist
Honestly, i will pick these up.
>>22909706the real nightmare was the communism we made along the way
>>22909714I like the Zaku designs in RFV. Hoping we get more, especially the tank.
>>22909719Bandai put the rest on P Bandai, just because. >>22909363
>>22909720They can't keep getting away with this.
>>22909333The SMP is stupidly expensive and a messy partsformer, I'd rather have a non-transformable fully possable banpreios.
>>22909732I think the price has more to do with the fact that it has the same scale as a Perfect Grade. The only way that can make cheaper is to shrink it down.
>>22909714Anyone else got complete 180 on their designs? At first I've hated both of them, then they grew on me a bit and I thought that they're alright but I'd change a lot of aspects, and now I like them as is.
>>22909714>>22909719honestly as much as I like the designs, they just look awful next to other kits. I think I'm just gonna paint some GTO Zakus in their colors instead.
>>22909722For once something deserves to be on pbandai.
>>22909744I still think of them to be ugly as designs. But as a product that i can build and hold in my hands, i like them. Same feeling i have for military kits. Boring on paper but cool as physical.
>>22909748GTO feels like a bastardization of existing designs. Atleast with Yamane's rendition, they feel like their own thing.
>>22909744I find them fine when I'm not focusing while looking at them, but when I start really paying attention I go back into disgust
>>22909744nothis happened to me with gothicmades but i don't think those abominations will ever grow on me
Finally done with my first kitHappy with it, gonna claim sovl on the little fuckups and fix the more frustrating ones down the line
>>22909771Chicken robot looks fine, you did a good job considering the canvas.
>>22909732>partsformerBanpreioth doesn't transform, you're thinking the SRX.
>>22909771That line work and general blockiness of the design reminds me of Borderlands robots
>>22909771Should've clipped the safety flags at the tips of the v-fin bro.
>>22909744No they still look like complete trash to me.
>>22908347Terra Krome is about as close to electroplating as you can get out of relatively affordable hobby paint but it's still not the same. Even Terra Krome + MGP Laminated Gold looks a bit cloudy. Compare to this gold plated KOG.
>>22909775Thanks! The bizarre design grew on me, I'll get a second one for kitbash fodder>>22909798Wasn't aiming for it but now i realize it's very borderlands yeah, might use some visuals as reference next time I do a project in this style>>22909802I was planning to but wanted to see how it'd look in pink. I think it's cute so i'm leaving it as is
I finally did some short photo session for HG Gundam MK-II and FM Zenith I posted over last few weeks. I remember some people here liked checking these galleries so here they are, with faster gallery plugin:http://www.sabi-sif.mb4.pl/gunpla-hg/hg-gundam-mk-ii/http://www.sabi-sif.mb4.pl/gunpla-mg-rg-other/front-mission-zenith/
But honestly, I think Zenith went out better.
Is there any way to make stickers a bit more bearable to use? I've always had this innate hatred of attempting to use it them and would always try to pen in eye details or wing effects just to avoid faffing around with them. Heck, it's a large reason I've avoided kits like Sazabi cause I'm too scared off of trying to faff around with the amount of stickers on the sheet.
>stickerslol
>>22909885Ideally you should never be using stickers
And rest on site.
>>22909890Actually, you SHOULD use stickers. As a pre-cut mask for painting
>>22909896I always wondered about that. How do you deal with the sticker's adhesive?
>>22909896does it even do a good job at this?masking isn't just hiding an area from view
>>22908592Doing the first pass of white paint for the stripes on the black side of the MS, doing it all by hand. Gonna need like two or three coats methinks.
>>22909913Huh. Really like this, pretty ballsy process going at it by hand
>>22909920I'm insane because actually enjoy it. Just kinda get into a zen mode with it idk.
>>22909913very nice anon, keep up the good work
Group build dude passed away
Group build dude passed a kidney stone
>>22909904I stick them a couple of times to something before applying to the surface, otherwise it might leave some adhesive behind, though it's easy to clean if you painted with lacquers. >>22909905I used them like this, they're fine.
Group build dude passed the bar
Doing the RG Eva-01 and I'm impressed both at the gimmicks and the overall stylisation. I wish Bandai did kits of the Angels and the weirdass Eva-creatures-tanks-things of the Rebuild movies..
>>22908251HG Zaku Kai pisses me off so much.>released after a bunch of HG Zakus that had movable monoeye, even if they didn't have a track to move them super easily>even the fucking original HGUC Zaku II has a movable monoeye>nah fuck it let's stick the part the monoeye track goes on out of the snout for a little bit of color variety
What are the best Zaku kits available? I've only got the Char zaku 2 and am curious about the quality differences. This was a really simple and fun kit to build up and clean so I'd like more like this.
>>22910044which Char Zaku II, there's like five
>accidentally drop a small part under desk>search for it for minutes with no luck>turn into Pic related once I finally find itAnyway I'm fairly new to this. Would it be better to find a way to sharpen my nippers when they inevitably start to dull or should I just buy new ones every time? Thanks
godhands dont dull
how come vallejo, gaia etc don't sell a set of base/primary color paints for mixing, like the kind they sell for real artists who know how to use a palette? I dont want 999 different branded paint pots with "char's bellend red" or "slaanesh cum yellow"it looks like jumpwind does at least
>>22910059Most people just continue using them but for general sprue cutting. You probably don't have the tools to sharpen them at home so you'd probably have to take them to a hardware store or some shit and pay someone to do it for you.
>>22910064They do, Vallejo at least. There are few sets of "base" or thematic colors. Reason for selling multitude of different shades is ensuring predictable repetition instead of having slightly different mix each time. It's just more convient to only mix for shadow-highlight transition. Some shades are also very difficult to properly acquire with mixing.
>>22910064different demographic of userart autists know they can mix colors to get what they want and it's a part of the creative process for them, 40k and other fucks just want a specific colour because they're mainly interested in the end result more than anything else and hate the idea of mixing because it'll be a "waste" of paint and a "waste" of time, and will even display dozens upon dozens of bottles of paints on stands/holders/shelves like a goddamn trophy wall or something
>>22910064Gaia does sell CMY primary paints in lacquer and enamel.
What do water curtains of an airbrush booth do compared to a regular airbrush booth?
>>22910079They stop things from getting dusty, but also collect paint particles so you don't need to use a filter.
>>22909180Nice Digimon
>>22909128for me it's herbal peppermint tea
>>22909180Is that a monster rancher
>>22910051MS-06S? It has an older box art but it looks perfectly fine
>>22910044all the hgs are pretty great, as well as mg 2.0, cant say for RG as i dont have one yet
>>22909913Some more progress and a bit of a test fit. Also a comparison with my snapgod kino Gelgoog Marine
>>22909641seems like they'd be better off staying a brit colony forever instead of dealing with mainland government
>>22910074I guess for boomers there is also the element of hyper realism obsession. there are scale modelers who do shit like go out and take 200 pictures of an actual tank in a museum from different angles to get the panel lines perfect, so of course they want to buy a pre mixed color that's "exactly right" rather than mix it themselves and be off by 0.1%
>>22910120this is how i build gunpla
>>22910110I also ensured that it can more than defend itself up close
>>22910124>normal metal knife attached to beam saberdo zeeks really?
>>22910126NTA but I think it can be used as a regular knife while the beam is turned off (saving power?)
>>22910130It's a backup heat knife, yeah. Took it from the HGUC Jagd Doga
>>22910131zeon engineering is truly unique and magnificent. the only reason the feddies won is because zeons literally handed them their tech.
>>22910120No, boomers mostly use tamiya paint since they mostly build Tamiya kits, which is one of the best military kit manufacturer atm. I stalk their forum sometimes and they do get creative with the paint, especially tank builds with additonal pouches. But they do get super autistic and make sure the details are right. Jokes aside, without these boomers, gunpla modeling hobby wouldn't exist ( Alot of military kits dated way back at the 60s, actual ancient stuff ).
>>22910132A retard like Char would never reach to where he was politically if Gundam's writing was slightly realistic.
>>22910134>muh realismi bet you like weathering your kits too...
I want to make it clear I WANTED Nightmare theme for years and thanks to dumb memes, the deadline got cut short for Halloween, I'm very likely not gonna make it in time but when I do post my abomination on the following weekend after Halloween, consider it part of the NIGHTMARE hype, even if it's not accepted to the collage. if there are only a small amount of entries, then add +1 for ME! ! ! ! ! !
>>22909373iirc the heat hawk was pretty good at cutting through the gundam and it's shield in the original show so I'd say yeah.
>>22910133It's too bad tank boomers and car boomers live in totally separate bubbles from gunpla fags, it would be fun to read about all their different approaches to painting
>>22909771Nice, but you're not done yet.
>>22910139buy a plane kit and go look at their forums then
>>22910134A retard like trump would've never been president if the writing for real life was more realistic.
>>22910139I believe their method is the basis for Gunplafags's method. The actual differences is how they don't turn their tank builds into weird scifi kitbashes, but buidling them into recreation of reference photos instead. Also from what i have heard and saw, building a military kit is an unpleasant experience.
>>22910137Dude you and I are in the same boat. Just be calm and take your time. I d rather see it late than rushed.
>>22910110is this by the same guy who did red cliff?thin your paints for fucks sake
>>22910147>building a military kit is an unpleasant experience.modern military kits are fine. they're not snapfit or anything but they're sanely constructed with good moulding etc
>>22910147military vehicles usually have more focus on weathering and camo patterns etc thoughthe big flat clean untextured colors popular in gunpla have more in common with aircraft and car modelers not sure where boats fit in
>>22910156I'm not sure what "red cliff" is, anon
>>22910158>aircraft are not military vehicles?????
>>22910157you've gotta know what you're buying though, revell sells shit made in dogshit 1960s molds in the same box as the brand new kit right next to it on the store shelf. you can't just walk into your local hobby store and buy something and get consistent quality. although true autists can look them up online on scalemates etc
>>22910162>aircraft are not military vehiclesboomer tank autists can only cum to WW2 era aircraftthe kinds of people who paint boeing passenger jets or just modern jets at all are a totally different demographic
>>22910165yeah the modern jet audience has a decent overlap with the mecha audiencethe others, not really
>>22910137in the past he's extended the deadline if enough people email with wip pics asking for extensionsyou've gotta show wips to prove youre actually gonna enter and aren't just a nopaints larper like 99% of gpg including me

>>22910172>>22910175i hope axel is an 8 year old child and not an adult
>>22910177I always find it funny that the fancy signature clashes so badly with the poorly done Gunpla. Like, dude, you're so proud of this that you put your name on it?(I mean, I've probably done worse, but in my defense that was when I was only 10 or 12, the internet was in its infancy and I'd never commit it to photo except as a lesson on what not to do.)
>>22910177>>22910176>>22910180it's fingerpainted. as a form of art
>>22910170Ive never painted a mini and ive never used a brush for anything other than mistakes and details. I may be good at sculpting apparently but theres no way in hell I can paint this in time even for an extention. Dont wait for me. I dont even know what im doing. Is it a nurgle corrupted gouf? Is it a gouf used to make a plague marine? Im about to start the backback and im feeling like it needs it.
>>22910177I'm just wondering it's a China reference or if the dude was just "damn, Red Cliff sounds awesome, fucking love red, red is awesome. Char wishes he liked red as much as i do".
>>22910181Yeah, pretty sure I see fingerprint smudges on that "paint job" too.
Done with my initial primer layer so I can do any final clean up before i get to painting, but really happy with the textur s I've been able to get for the kind of chitiny parts.>>22910137I'm sure the deadline will be extended, lots of people seem to need it, and it happens basically every groupbuild. Good chance I'll probably need to ask for an extension too.
How do new groupbuild themes get decided?
>>22910194Secret vote.
>>22910194malicious vote rigging to disqualify any theme you don't like
>>22910194gpg illuminati
>>22910194benevolent vote influencing to select the theme you like
>>22910163I have no idea why Revell is still around. Their kits are viewed as super terrible by the boomers, and that's from the people who got used to terrible kits.
>>22910157The micro parts seem insanity inducing.
>>22910194whoever bot votes well and makes it seem genuine

>>22910221spam the thread from multiple ips with theme suggestions when groupbuild dude asks after the last builds results are posted
>>22910221They do not get submitted, they get extracted from subconsciousness of local posters via dream invasion.
>>22910221groupbuild dude remote views the akashic records
>>22910205A better question is what's stopping people from rebelling and doing a more compelling theme themselves if something gets blatantly rigged but the actual builders were interested in something else.
>>22910227this is what i do every time, except i dont announce it and the theme i build to just happens to align with the build i was about to start due to sheer coincidence
>>22910227it literally doesn't matter, the whole point of the groupbuild contest is to encourage you to actually build something, and the prize is the thing you made
>>22910194darts at a board
>>22910237This. It's a themed semi-contest entirely for fun. You can build whatever you want, but if you participate what you make gets to be shown off so everyone can ooh and ahh over it. You don't have to be a master builder to join.
ebgames sells gunpla now apparently
>>22910219Tamiya is generally more newbie friendly compares to Revell and their kits are more approachable. You can build Tamiya kits once you have practiced enough.
>>22910225No, anon, you have to astral project with an energy body to peak into Akashic Records, remote view only works in whatever dimension your consciousness is currently in. I've been reading this stuff up on /x/ in recent years unironically.
>>22910254Ebgames doesn't exist any more.
Hmm I think I will donate a kit from my massive backlog to the winner of the next groupbuild.
>>22910259it does in australia
>>22910260nice try cia but you're not getting my address
>>22910256Fuck off to literally any other thread Duel.
>>22910267Your boogeyman is fictional, anon.
>>22910264Australia is fascinating in how you guys have things that died out here long ago.
>>22909244only pic of this kit that I've liked so far, panel lining really carries it. Still probably gonna pass unless I enjoy the show>>22909714they look terrible unpainted, I really wanna like them but without painting of panel lining they're hideous
>>22910256beargguy modafocka
>>22910044The GTO HG zakus are the best on panel lines and accessories. Articulation and construction are A++. The RG zakus have some incredibly terrible front skirts. Everything else on them is great. The piping can be tedious but it almost always is. I made the standard MS version and the PenisBandai minelayer version. I found a pose I liked and just glued the front skirts into their final resting place. Otherwise they pop off constantly. Side note, the bootleg GTO Dom and the black tristars zakus are great. The bootleg molds are basically equal to bandai rn and I got waterslides with both for way cheaper. Side note 2, the blaze zaku phantom knockoffs on ali express are also great. I got the white/pink one. A+ construction, molds, plastic quality. If you want a 1/100 scale they're like 30 bucks and you get 2 tomahawks, 2 rifles, 2 bazookas. Looks really sharp after panel lining and decals.
>>22910194after voting ends, everyone in the thread makes up bullshit and it all goes into a polltop 5 poll-winningest themes go into a runoff vote
>>22910274malls here are still full and alive. it is kinda nice
>>22907994putting water slides on the gelgoog jager/gpg/ any criticisms? are the water slides too busy? I don't have a guide and they don't make specific decals for the gelgoog jager so I'm just using a bunch of leftover parts
>>22910297o my orangepeel
>>22910271duel is very real
>>22910297Did you topcoat before putting decals on? Not my preferred method honestly.
>>22909180goddamn very nice work>>22909873>>22909875>>22909877>>22909881>>22909884nice job anon
>>22910297Yes, way too busy. The RB on the chest needs to be removed. Make it more asymetrical. The feddie kills on the skirt should go onto a different spot.
>>22910297you want a gloss finish under the waterslides so the borders don't stick out so much, only use matte for the final topcoat after everything
>>22909771nice job for a first attempt. better than most snapshitters on reddit>>22910298I feel like its the lighting. in person I don't see it>>22910300yeah I gloss coat, then panel line, then decal, then matte coat to finish
>>22910124This is my stopping point for the night. I still need to to the stripes on the right arm and I think I'm gonna paint the left foot purple as well. Unsure what I'll do for the Hizack shield. After the paint is done it'll be time for some markings and then a topcoat. Honestly funny how I put this off for a year but once I got going on it I got GOING
I would like a RG Nightingale so the RG Hi-Nu has a partner.
>>22910314The chinese is making an OC kit based on Nightinghale. You can wait for this one.
>>22910314It will likely happen. Retool the HG, add more detail and greeble. bandai loves easy money that they can sell for infinite kits to the chinese.
>>22910321The shield and penis look like shit though.
>>22910328Nah, RGs are not simply "HG but more panel lines ". They have inner skeleton and alot more articulated details. If Bandai ever making RG Nightinghale, that means they are gonna develop it from scratch.
>>22910321Is that the one that "transforms" into regular Sazabi? No fucking thanks.
>>22910339I'm aware that RGs have inner frames, more details, more articulation (typically). Don't fool yourself into thinking that there is a hell of a difference between the 20 different Nu Gundams (as an example).
>>22910297stick a wonderbread logo on there somewhere since it already looks like a nascar car
>>22910339Honestly I doubt they'd do a RG Nightingale just because they didn't make a MG Nightingale, they made a RE/100 one.
>>22909706The look I was going for was a Russian B-movie sci-fi monster. Nazi would have worked as well, but the technology would have been older, clunkier. I was looking for a 50s-60s tech style.Look for more russian decals on the finished entry.
>>22910387Definitely feels like it could've been in a Red Alert game.
>>22910344Nah, EG Nu and HG Nu looks completely different compares to RG Nu. Just because RG can looks faithful to the design does not mean it is just a souped up HG. There is nothing inside Nu HG, it is hollow.
>>22910387Ah that's a cool lore bit.
>>22910344Don't fool yourself into thinking you know how injection molding works. There's no "retooling the HG." It's going to be an entirely new mold, no reuse, probably not even in their design program.
>>22910409Is /gpg/ actually this stupid to think that bandai will put 9001 hours into designing a Nu Gundam in High grade, then 9001 hours into designing a Nu Gundam in EG, and then 9001 hours into designing a Nu Gundam in RG? Does /gpg/ actually believe this?
>>22910425What do you really gain from being called a retard on the internet
>>22910425Just because you get called out for saying something retarded online doesn't mean you have to double down on said retardation. That's the beauty of anonymity.
>>22910425majority of the cost is the machining time not the design. the mold must be made from scratch each time even if they reuse the 3d model
bandai employs mossad psychic squadron trained by uri geller to manifest the cad models so it doesn't take that long
>>22910440And yet posters here genuinely think slight variations are designed from scratch.
>>22910466>HG to RG is a slight variationokay
>>22910472My bad, I forgot that it's a totally different robot. Case in point retards like >>22910477 continue to reply to me.
>>22910479you're the retard here, retard
>>22910479>totally different robotcorrect, the models you get are actually completely different and don't magically make themselves that way.
>>22910466>And yet posters here genuinely think slight variations are designed from scratch.Are you retarded? A different grade is a different product entirely, inside out, from the existence of inner skeleton that replaces individual joints entirely, to how the appearance, the parts separation, the articulation are all different. The only thing Bandai reuse the molds and models consistently is amongs HG kits themselves.
>>22910485>The only thing Bandai reuse the molds and models consistently is amongs HG kits themselves.well, they do probably have at least one runner shared between them considering the Nu Gundam has that unique beam saber and there's no reason to not just use the HG version of the beam saber effect parts, since they're at the same scale.
>>22910480>>22910485Sorry I didn't mean to break the low IQ retards of /gpg/ today by pointing out that no, bandai does not actually redesign from the ground up the same robot in RG, HG, or EG. At least, I hope they're not as stupid as you retards are.
>>22910493Dude, just shut up. It's getting embarrassing.
>>22910491It uses a completely different sabre effect part and the HG's is better.
>>22910493It's actually crazy how much you enjoy being called stupid for being stupid on the internet. It's also crazy how you've never built these models before.
>>22910497
>>22910496>NOOO intern sama! You cannot re-use the 3D model that we painstakingly developed over 4 months. You WILL be making a new 3D model from the ground up! I don't care if you do it for free!
>>22910500please dude, build the revive zaku II and the original HGUC zaku II so you can understand how retarded you're acting
>>22910501Please dude, work a job. Bandai is a retarded fucking company but even they are not as stupid as you are.
>>22910504oh god guys I think he's actually retarded and not just pretending
bandai is a small family company and can only afford to employ a handful of people. hajime katoki hand makes every gunpla cad model and injection mould
>>22910514BY HAND
>>22910504if you actually had a job and actually worked you could buy more than one gunpla of the same suit and see how fucking different they are despite being the same robot
>>22910514Every new line of Zaku bandai made has been rebuilt from scratch. They literally grow the plastics themselves.
>>22910500Fag, do you seriously believe your shitty Nu HG has inner skeleton with bunch of articulation included? Bandai normally design this skeleton first for the RG/MG, then design the outershell that can match the articulation and the skeleton. Alot of people even complain how RG looks completely unregconizable compares to the lineart accurate HG, which is obviously No Shit, they are different models, different molds.
>>22910519Today /gpg/ got extremely upset at learning how 3D models are re-used and sometimes hevaily altered to make new variations and lines.
I wonder if people would be more interested to buy a set 3 no equipment governors for 35usd+ and then buy option gear that comes in sets that give 3 governors a squad type like demolitions/cqc assault/long range for like 15usd
>>22910520No, it's just one guy (you) being an absolute retard, and the rest of the thread laughing at him (you).
>>22910299>duel is very realDuel WAS very real, but not any more, since he killed himself sometime in 2020. All current duelposters are imitators, and this is easy to verify. Lolcows cannot live without social media, but the current-day Duel doesn't have any socials. That is straight up impossible if you know anything about lolcows.
>>22910520
>>22910525>t. expert model builder (instruction follower)Amusing that your attempts at proving me wrong is screaming BUILD THEM THEY ARE DIFFERENT REEEE without understanding how they became different or were developed in the first place.
>>22910531t. nigger that thinks they used the same 3D model for every zaku
>>22910533Good job calling yourself that, newfag.
>chatgpt, take this cad model. elongate the legs but keep the height the same. generate internal skeletonkatoki is a hack
>>22910520>Today /gpg/ got extremely upset at learning how 3D models are re-used and sometimes hevaily altered to make new variations and lines.Yeah but HG has no RG inner skeleton, you fucking retard. How can you modify something that doesn't exist? Most of the time HG either hollow or has dogshit semi skeleton like IBO or Gwitch.
>>22910531>why yes what a fine model this HG was>alright so I will change all the external details>and now I will change how every piece and part is separated>thank god this is just a slight variation.
>>22910537>HG has no RG inner skeletonHoly shit, this one has an IQ above room temperature and can state the obvious!
>>22910541You can't argue so now you are resolving to avatarfagging and half assed sarcasm? Give me a break, fag. If you don't own RG or even bother to do your research, just admit it and no one gonna judge you for it.
>>22910548No wonder the MG line is dead. bandai literally re-designs every kit from scratch. They're spending all that money paying these poor retards to design something and re-design something over and over again. It's like scam citizen but for plastic models.
>>22910538Majority of RG looks like edgy fanfictions of the lineart with some of the most annoying over engineering ever, yet a single retard thinks they are HGs with 2 new panel lines. Amusing, i would say.
>>22910551YESTHEY AREYOU UNDERSTAND NOW
>>22910554Lmao, no they're not you stupid faggot.
>>22910556Damn, he almost had it. Pack it up, team. Better luck next time.
>>22910551>They're spending all that money paying these poor retards to design something and re-design something over and over again. No shit. Have you look at those ancient kits? Bandai redesigns kits all the time. Please don't tell me that you actually believe Gunpla doesn't exist before the year 2000.
>>22910558this is CLEARLY identical to the Revive released in 2022, what are you talking about
>>22910558>He actually thinks this company that's small hat tier in greed wastes billions of yen paying one retard to re-do his work endlesslyI think you dumbasses are projecting either your fetishes or your fantasies of your own personal hell at this point.
>>22910562How many kits have you built? Two? Three?
imagine if they did just scale up HG kits to PG thoughthink about how big the runners would begodhands would be in shambles at the might of a 2x runner connection
>>22910564gotta get out the bolt cutters at that point desu
>>22910563>Some retarded fallacy You are genuinely upset that someone broke your fantasies of the love you thought bandai was putting into their model kits. To the point that you're breaking out a toy from 1980 as some sort of gotcha argument>See! This toy from literally 40 years ago is clearly different!I'm sorry that I upset you so much kid.
>>22910571How many?
>>22910564id buy it
>>22910564Sounds like the Mega Size Models.
>>22910571You seems to not understanding one thing, is that the money Bandai uses to pay the engineers and designers are literall pennies compares to what they actually own. This is a company that built several giant statues just because they can. Do you think some puny 3D models mean something to them?
>>22910579Bandai actually modify HG runners for the Megasize releases. The parts seems ridiculous gigantic inside a skinny border. A barebones upscale with no concerns would be a disaster. https://youtu.be/lrEdUzgaAiM?feature=shared
>>22910586Don't act like a petulant child now that you've learned bandai doesn't put in the "love" to their model kits that you thought they did. You've just learned of one of the many benefits of 3D modeling; it's funny that you bring up the 1:1 statues which are great examples of being able to utilize existing 3D models to then scale or alter them to make something "new".
>>22910571My diet only consists of bait.To anyone that has built multiple different kits based on the same mobile suit, it's clear as day that it would be impossible to simply "reuse the 3D model" for the machine and then adapt it to the different grades as you claim. At most, they'll be referencing the same drawing (although in cases such as Ver. Ka MGs, they seem to make different drawings too).If you build the HG RX 78, it's a very simple build, basically no inner frame. 90% of the plastic included in the kit is either weapons or armor. Said armor is very large, and has very little parts separation. You'll get two halves of the calf sandwiching together to make the calf, for example.To contrast, the RG has the full MS Joint which was created specifically for the RG line. Instead of large armor pieces making up large parts of the body, the model has tiny plates of multi-tone armor that piece together to make up sections of the body. The front skirt on the HG is a single piece, whereas on the RG it's like 8. It would be an uphill battle to simply take an existing 3D model and chop it up differently to make the RG.Bandai heavily reuses shit where they can, but this is primarily within the same grade (eg. MG Freedom 2.0 and Justice using mostly the same frame), and not across grades.
>panel line smudgecome the fuck on bro I topcoated you.
>>22910599nobody is saying anything that you are implying they are saying you stupid fucking retardhow many kits
>>22910402>When the EG mogs the HGThe fuck is Bandai smoking?
>>22910602>To anyone that has built multiple different kits based on the same mobile suit, it's clear as day that it would be impossible to simply "reuse the 3D model" for the machine and then adapt it to the different grades as you claim.Questionable if you build model kits, but you most certainly have zero introspective into how they are designed. Multiple posters screaming I don't build model kits. Multiple posters screaming that it's literally impossible to take an existing 3D modeled part and re-work it, it literally never happens, bandai loves me! More than anything I'm disappointed in this thread today because it's pic related more than usual.
>>22910614im sorry dude you gotta be trolling at this point
>>22910586Apparently it does for them, have you fucking seen how they still use chisels to hand modify steel molds?
>>22910617Trolling for pointing out that bandai is a greedy company interested in profit? Were you born yesterday?
It is almost complete.
>>22910609EG is a newer kit. HG Nu is super old at this point.
>>22910609To be fair, the EG Nu is actually REALLY good. The only actual "problems" with the EG is that it's an EG. It's all plastic, so the joints are plastic rubbing on plastic, it only comes with one weapon (the Beam Rifle) and is basically incompatible with all other weapons that aren't also EG weapons, and it doesn't come with the main iconic accessories of the Nu Gundam (the fin funnels and the unique beam saber effect parts).
>>22910614Then enlighten us as to how they are designed. How does one take a generic 3D model and then create both an HG and an RG from it? Exactly what is reused and how does it actually save Bandai money?
>>22910630honestly the kits are so different it would probably cost them more to stubbornly use the same model as a base for the HG RG and EG.
>>22910627Not coming with the fin funnel was really stupid. They didn't even make a special set like they did with the RX-78.
>>22910627>It's all plastic, so the joints are plastic rubbing on plasticTo be fair, majority of modern 1/144 kits nolonger use polycaps, aside from 30MM. I know polycaps have their own strength but plastic joints have been improving alot.
>>22910617No fucking shit he's trolling. Feed him enough (you)s to figure that out?
>>22910638man my EG Nu had a floppy right leg after like two days. i hope they go back to using polycaps at least for shoulder and hip joins, I fucking hate polycapless shit it's such a fucking meme.
>>22910641Personally, I prefer to assume people aren't being assholes for no reason, but I always forget where I am.
>>22910641You retarded faggots refuse to stop replying to me. Then you get upset and scream REEE TROLL when someone points out that a company with modern designing capabilities is using modern designing techniques to develop toys. >Turn customers into fanatics
>>22910641I don't think so. He said a completely serious stuff here>>22910328And then tried to doubledown on it.
>>22910646Customer? I only buy bootlegs.
>>22910646>Turn customers into fanaticsCase in point, you’ve become a fanatic in another way.
>>22910647/gpg/>REE bandai stop re-using inner frames on kitsalso /gpg/>nooo bandai designs everything FROM THE GROUND UP>>22910649I kneel.
>>22910645I hate to tell you, but this thread has been a breeding ground for shitposters who get their jollies by pretending to be retards for a while. be vigilant. If someone is saying the dumbest shit you've ever heard, it's not because they're a poor fledging little lost child ready to be shown the ways of reality, it's just a pathetic weirdo.
>>22910645I know this is the mental asylum for autists and I always assume everyone here is wheelchair bound and talking through a text-to-speech machine.
>>22910653Fuck I really broke /gpg/ tonight. To think this all stemmed simply from shitting on bandai for being greedy cunts who take shortcuts to lots of money.
Check out how easy it for me to just not reply back to him. Actually all you have to do.
>>22910658Nobody here thinks Bandai aren't greedy cunts who take shortcuts to lots of money. It's probably the one thing everybody here unanimously agrees on.But what you're claiming doesn't sound real. You might as well be saying "Bandai likes saving money, so instead of paying engineers to make new kits, they have wizards abracadabra the molds into existence instead."
>>22910664God where is the new Gundam tv series.
>>22910668Less interested in that than I am in news on HF Movie 2.
>>22910664I for one actually enjoy arguing about meaningless shit with strangers online.Sex with Roux.
>>22910668
>>22910658No one actually complain about Bandai taking shortcuts. Everyone can tell everytime they see a junk part from the runner. The actual criticism Bandai should have is how cringe their marketing is and their PissBandai crap. But then again, criticism must be based on the actual shit, not the imaginary shit you made in your own head, gets upset about it then backpedal when 10 other people got annoyed.
>>22910675ROUX SEX BANNEDNO ROUX SEX
>>22910667>moldsI never once claimed a single thing about the molds to begin with. Maybe this is why some posters here are adamant in their ignorance like >>22910678.
>>22910621sovl
>>22910667>More engineers more solution.What Bandai needs are more craftsmen that are highly trained for the job. People have to understand that steel molds arent something you just cnc the shit out of or else Bandai would have done. Maybe the second factory is built for that? Who knows for now.
>>22910681do you not understand that it would take MORE work to use the same 3D model for the HG and the RG? are you referring to concept art when you say "3D model"? do you not understand how easy it is to recreate a 3D model from scratch?do you not understand WHY people are calling you a retard?
>>22910677
>>22910672Fucking big mistake that they insisted on making it a movie. Now no one cares about it.
>>22910680Puffy.
>>22910677>>22910691I enjoyed the mech battles. I might rewatch it.
>>22910680Remake Zeta already please for the love of god.
>>22910701Zeta is perfect and doesn't need remaking.
>>22910688>it would take MORE work to use the same 3D model>are you referring to concept artNo. There are only so many ways a Zaku shoulder pauldron can be designed. You need to understand this.
>>22910693Hathaway's flash is such an unimpressive and inconsenquential story, Bandai could have condensed it in a single 60 minutes film.
>>22910701fuck you they should adapt origins first, the changes they make to the OYW are worth making an adaptation of a retelling
>>22910700I did as well.
>>22910701I assume you mean Double Zeta.
>>22910705And yet they've redone it hundreds of times you stupid retarded nigger.
>>22910705>There are only so many ways a Zaku shoulder pauldron can be designed.They haven't hit that number yet and they've been trying since 1979.
>>22910705you have never built more than one zaku, got it
>>22908074https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlD9USAhcEselectroplating, but it's not an easy process and you'll be handling a lot of dangerous chemicals with you.
>>22910705Absolute worst part on the most redone suit you could've picked. Aside from literal reused molds, every single Zaku II shoulder pauldron I've ever built has been designed differently.
>>22910703Fuck you I need my Camille
>>22910705What you are saying is the outershell, the visual. RG has more shit going on with the inner skeleton and that skeleton requires a fitting armor design with alot of color separation. HG mostly recreate the lineart in 3D, meanwhile RG is literally Bandai's OC with different proportion and mechanical details with no concern for the lineart. RG is technology first, artstyle later.
>>22910717her name is KAMIYU
>>22910717THEN WATCH ZETAHE'S VERY COOL AND PERFECT IN ZETA
>>22910717There's the New Translation movies if you really really need to see something new with Kamiyu
>>22910717
>>22910664GWitch S3 soon>>22910706We'll get a Sentinel adaptation someday.
>>22910730How many rule34 Gundam S gonna get, once everyone found out that it has feminine AI named Alice?
>>22910712>They haven't hit that number yetThey hit that number 20 years ago.>>22910716>has been designed differentlyOh, are you referring to the internal connection? Something easily altered in cad?>>22910718>the outershell, the visualSure, the outer armor is the biggest aspect of it.
>>22910739>Oh, are you referring to the internal connection? Something easily altered in cad?no you stupid bitch the actual fucking pauldron, the entire construction of the fucking piece
>>22910741Then you're a goddamn idiot and no wonder you've been name calling without any semblance of argument this entire time.
Do some of you use Gundam markers for small details? I dont want to bust out the airbrush for something so small.
>>22910746Either tamiya enamel or markers. I use AK markers for copper/gold, they're nice, especially the copper. AK chrome is nice too but I use molotow ones, mostly because they come with different sized tips
wtf is going on here right now lol
>>22910747I hope the strawman you created made you feel better in the internet argument you're desperate to win against me. This would be a great video for you by the way.>>22910750There is a retard that has gotten extremely upset that I pointed out that bandai uses 3D modeling in 3D moldeing ways. Pic related.
>>22910752he's still retarded, sad.
>>22910750Time.
>>22910748Why tamiya enamels? Is it for reverse washing? I would get the AK markers but its not readily available in my shithole country.
>>22910757They're easy to find here and easy to clean up over lacquer. I also tried tamiya acrylics but I didn't find them as easy to work with. Green stuff world is also alright for the same purpose, and I assume vallejo too
>>22910735Zero, because I was lying. ;_;
>>22910752NTA, you are retarded anon. Editing shit for fun is whatever. The real question is how that edit gonna function as actual toys. You can slap a truck on a bike, then paste some beoing wings on it in your 3D modeling software, that does not mean your kitbash abomination is gonna be practical in the real world. When you design something meant to be real, you must concern with its balancing, articulation, tolerance, mechanical functionality and structure. In Bandai's case, the HG 3D model is not the original 3D model. They have way older models made in the 80s, 90s, early 2000s and they have no reason to use any of these, they already did the inner skeleton from scratch so why not making the rest from scratch?
>>22910765>they have no reason to use any of theseNobody said that bandai is 3D scanning their toys from the 80s and then using them. That's the strawman drafted up by that retard who is genuinely upset that I've revealed some industry secret apparently.
>>22910700They looked quite cool, but that was about it. Even while unironically cheering for the Gundam, I was constantly being thrown off by how utterly retarded it and the GM were acting. The Gundam constantly disengaging the enemy it's literally about to kill because it gets hit by some bullets, the GM changing from aiming at an armed tank to aiming at a bunch of dudes, the GM literally walking past the negro's Zaku and turning its back toward him, etc. How am I supposed to fear these killing machines when they keep acting so stupid?
>>22910768So, how do you devise two models that are actually completely proportional different, made of different pieces, and have different surface detailing from that?
>>22910768>Nobody said that bandai is 3D scanning their toys from the 80s and then using them.3D modeling existed in the 80s already and they have bunch of those 3D models in store.>That's the strawman drafted up by that retard who is genuinely upset that I've revealed some industry secret apparently.This is toy industry, not hollywood. These things are actual product with functionality, not some dumb cgi model that you can stick everything on the surface and it can still move. These things have to be designed, researched and tested.
>>22910778>This is a toy industry, not hollywoodOkay, that's random and unrelated.>These things are actual product with functionality>These things have to be designed, researched and testedI feel like I just arrived in some bizzaro world where bandai ISN'T notorious for doing stuff like re-using inner frames on multiple different robots. This universe must be nice - you know except for the whole retards that sperg out and desperately misrepresent arguments so they can win 4chan points.
>>22910757>reverse washingenamels are just easily erasable/removable without damaging the lacquer paint underneath. this is what makes reverse washes work but it also just makes them handy for hand painting small details as you can easily clean up edges or erase and redo. that's why weeaboos always use enamels when they paint faces on girlpla or GKs
>>22910788>I feel like I just arrived in some bizzaro world where bandai ISN'T notorious for doing stuff like re-using inner frames on multiple different robotsyeah and guess what, that's not what they did for the specific ones you accused them of doing it for in the first place
Oh this is still going on huh?Really cool.
>>22910797what else you got to do today?
>>22910800coom to my gunpla.
>>22910801have at it then, soldier.
>>22910801figure-rise kits aren't gunpla
>>22910776That retard has no idea how long and troublesome and long the toy and kit production is. Bandai's modelers have to adjust the outer appearance based on the lead designer's redesign and they have to add the details from scratch due to that, not to mention the fitment due to the nature of the product being modelkit.
>>22910809Don't forget that they meticulously have to fine tune the details by hand before the plastic mold is used in production. Kinda insane that Bandai is producing quality products at a massive scale.
>>22910776just, like, hit the auto-subdivide button, man.
I wish I was in Japan so that Bandai could send me kits to shill.
>>22910817>That nasty tattoo.
Anon is gonna fucking FREAK when he finds out how cars are still prototyped.
Can I put l paint remover or similar in an ultrasonic cleaner or will I burn my house down
>>22910815Bandai tried to reuse Grimgerde's 3D model for Helmwige Reincar since both are HG and the result was the most awkard and dogshit kit one can ever see. It is difficult even amongs the same grade, what makes you think it is feasible for a HG to become an entirely different grade when it can't even become another HG properly?
>>22910820She's kawaii and nasty.
I've got no fuarkin clue how I'm gonna paint some of this kit. Like there's a part with big ass text on it that only comes as a sticker and isnt a molded detail and there are no options for water slides. I guess I'll just free hand it? I hate you Bandai. The challenge of it is actually kind of exciting though
Finally got the Neue. I might start on this later.
>>22910811They are like the 2nd or 3rd biggest toy company in the world. Just because they have symptoms of penny pinching, does not mean everything they have made so far are super cutcornered.
>>22910836Woops
>>22910841Kamen Rider is pretty much toy oriented. Alot of old SHF didn't even have the belt prepainted.
>>22910840The Sazabi is perfect, it doesn't need a bunch of BS slapped on it
>>22910846Kinda insane how its 1/144 model height is around 20cm. Actually as tall as many other MG scaled kits.
>>22910828just use add skeleton mode in blender
Likely a very dumb question, but whats the purpose or advantage of using a cutting mat? I'm picking up some hobby materials and considering if i need one or not.
>>22910854I love it
>>22910838Hell yeah. Enjoy it anon. I built it when I was like 12 and retarded. Would love to track down another one at this point.
>>22910854not gunpla or plamo
>>22910859To cut stuff on it, like tape
>>22910842Yeah, I'm not gonna knock the kit too much for just that reason. Just kinda scratching my head trying to decide how I'm gonna get some of these details done. I guess I can scan the stickers and print waterslides for the shit like the text, but I think most of it is just gonna be done by some creative masking.
>>22910859Only when you want to keep your table pretty.
>end of October>my order from USAGS which estimated Q3 has still not been fulfilledCome on, now.
>>22910884a bunch of shit that was supposed to release in September got pushed back to late october/early november.
>>22910859if you are cutting things against the table surface with a hobby knife like masking tape, small plastic parts etc you can leave scratches or even gouges in it.if the only hobby tools you own are nippers and sandpaper then you won't need a cutting mat.
>>22910884Me still waiting for my Turn A.
my supplier is asking if i want an apocalypse or martial emperor as a birthday present. i dont know which one to pick. you guys pick for me.
>>22910900Emperor
>>22910859besides keeping the surface you're using to cut clean, it also gives a nice soft surface for the blade to run along so it'll be easier to cut smoothly and less likely to break the tip off the knife blade
Can you guys think of any 1/144 non-RG Gunpla that have forearm joints which can swivel at the forearm? Like the G04, G05, and Mudrock, or how the MG Alex and a few other kits work.Pic related, this exact functionality. Very few joint designs can do this.
>>22910886I got shit that got pushed back to early next year...
>>22910944behold the ULTIMATE GUNPLAnot one but 4 axes of forearm swivel
>>22910884You should have known better than to order from them.
>>22910951imagine having this on your desk at your office job and having to explain this is one of the bad guys
>>22910954imagine having pic related on your desk at your office job and having to explain this is one of the good guys
>>22910944not 1/144 and not Gundam but the Lancelot Albion has forearm swivel
>>22910956Why explain when I could just say youre a bigot to ask
>>22910956>hate homogays with a burning rage>paint your gundam in gay colors anyways (ironically? i dont get it)>seethe whenever a coworker even glances in its direction
>>22910954i could never bring my gogg to work, what if someone notices it's unpainted and calls me a snapshitterit doesn't even have any panels to line
>>22910817is this some jav acctress?
>>22910957Some RGs have done it like that. I'm really in search of cheap kits with thievable joints for custom work honestly. Nothing else I can find really comes close to the Mudrock/Alex style joints.
>>22910154>>22909180>>22910387Awesome
>>22910680Dang it! More Roux!
Is this by the same chinkompany that released green Spartan? Is it ABS?
>>22910809The guy came into one of the threads not too long ago screaming about how they could make new kits in days because of "multi-core CPUs" and all their moulds are shit. There seriously needs to be some level of moderation in these threads. Once the schizo posting starts, the thread is over.>>22911052Kits like these are nearly always ABS. Chinese kits in general are heavily made up of ABS.
How good are the newer bootlegs? I want most of the P-Bandai stuff like AoZ, Gouf flight type, GM Moroccan, GM Sleggar and GM spartan since they cost like 1/5 the bandai price
>>22911052there area two chinkompany that made green spartanjms and xfsxfs is abs 100%, but jms might be ps,but i have no evidencei have a green xfs spartan and its for sure abs, i also ordered a white jms spartan, but it didnt arrive yet
How much of the kit do you take apart before topcoating? Or is it feasible to just spray the full put together kit?
its time for honor this shitno just kidding I knew the creative field armored puppets sucked at articulation I didnt think it'd be THIS bad
>>22911115Apparently it's pretty common to spray the full kit though I'm not sure how you can get decent results like thisI personally do it limb by limb, just trying to have the biggest pieces without parts obscuring anything else too much, and even then my coverage isn't very goodGranted I haven't got the hang of spray cans yet
I just realised that Im spending more in getting hg kits than going for mg/rg kits that I want.
>>22911115depends on the kit
>>22911132I dont know if this will help you, but it helped me with controlling the cans.
Has anyone else seen this new girlpla line?Company is called Kadenn + na. Been seeing their stuff on Twitter lately
>>22911145Some anon posted it I think a couple of threads ago.
My RG Eva's upper arm keeps splitting apart. Do you guys think it's fine to glue the "muscle" parts (B1 17+18+14 subassembly/M2/E15 for the right arm, B1 16+19+15 subassembly/M3/E16 for the left arm) together to make sure they stay put or would gluing the E parts with them ruin part of the articulation?
>>22911157Just look at the other arm, does that part move when you change the pose, if not, then gluing it in place won't fuck with articulation
>>22911142huh, interesting
>>22910621finally an anime accurate rx78
>>22910952He would have likely gotten the same thing ordering from any american retailer. usags isn't special.
>>22911166both arms have that issue. To put it another way, I'm not sure if these 2-3 parts are supposed to be one coherent block and I'm just mishandling the kit while posing (or fucked up somewhere in the assembly), or if they're supposed to be able to rotate individually, that's a part of the design I just need to settle with.I guess I'm trying to figure out if it's just a problem of the kit itself or if I'm just having a skill issue, if that makes more sense.
>>22911177I don't think I've ever heard of such issue with the kit. Try disassembling and reassembling from 0. And check for any possible nubs left that may fuck with parts fitting
>>22910859Cutting mats are a luxury, and you shouldn't get one unless you're making at least 120k
>>22911139Hg's are comfy builds. Nobody actually enjoys building up their MG or the daft inner frames.
>>22910701they already did and remakes are cringe>>22910840seed sazabi
>>22910859Only thing i'll add to the other replies is that the mat protects your blade as much as the surface. But honestly you can just use a piece of cardboard when you have to cut something, a mat is nice to have, is cheap and lasts a lifetime but it doesn't see a ton of actual use in most cases, it's an easy skip for a starter material haulProps for inquiring about its purpose instead of doing like most people and blindly buying one so they can have a nifty table like their favorite youtuber
>>22911197I'd like to add that, if you dabble in paint, even if it's just details or weathering, even a cheap cutting mat helps protect your table or desk from spills and shit getting everywhere. Besides they aren't expensive. I can find them for like, 3-4$? Don't get me wrong, I agree they're definitely not a need but it's nice to have one on hand if you plan on doing anything more than snapbuilding and they aren't that expensive.
>>22911139If there's a RG or MG version of a kit then I usually never bother with the HG. The majority of HGs look like shit.>>22911157I've built the 01 & 08 and didn't have this issue on either. Double check that you haven't done something wrong.

FF Nu is in UC Engage. I can smell Pbandai kit soon with these fanfiction designs.
>>22911289>Put Dendobrium weapon>Charge 200 bucks for it.
>>22911289As a lover of large beam cannons this gets me very excited, I welcome the potential P-Bandai slop
>>22911294It is actually based on Hi Nu's hyper mega launcher design from SRW.
>>22911295I personally wouldn't want to pay for "mobile suit with extra weapon" but if P-Bandai made a kit that's "ok here's a bunch of giant ass shoulder cannon and rifles and missiles with connection parts and unfoldable extra arms" I would absolutely buy like, two or three to kitbash with
>>22911302You see, I actually am collecting the fucken Unicorn Ver. kits so I absolutely would buy that if it had a weapon I wanted lol. I'm that guy
>>22911302>>22911307Thank God my plastic addiction only goes so far as to having numerous kits and I'm not as bad as you clowns.
>>22911308t. Brokie
>>22911309Not buying the same kit multiple times doesn't make me broke. It does make you a simp tier consumer though. Sorry I touched a nerve.
>>22911308I just want to make a kitbash that's 20% mobile suit and 80% enough weapons to glass the general direction it's facing
>>22911311>Not buying the same kit multiple times doesn't make me broke. It does make you a simp tier consumer though. Sorry I touched a nerve.They are just plastic toys. It is not like you are gonna transform into a wojak physically if you happens to be an army builder.
>>22911315I just buy 2 of every sinanju kit there is for custom painjobs and because I love sinanju so much.
>>22911214I hate the lazy ones that are just recolors
>>22910859absolutely necessary for waterslides, nothing else really. Its just a nice workinging surface

>>22911355I just bite them off with my teeth.
>>22911355I remember when I built my first NG Wing Gundam back in the 90s I twisted all the pieces off by hand and it would leave a nasty nubmark most of the time but SOMETIMES they'd snap off clean with absolutely no nub. I have no idea how that works.
>>22911390Physics is really precise and muscles are only as precise as they need to be for you to get laid
Nub marks on coloured plastic is the worst... There are pieces that I've gently cut three different spots into the runner and the thing still has the nerve to sit there discoloured. I'm at the point where I'm tempted to get some coloured markers to just cover it up.
>>22911404You're talking about stress marks. You probably shouldn't be using nippers to remove the nub in the first place. Cut it off with a knife and then sand/file.
>>22911354That's basically my workflow.>Nip>glass file>clean up with fingernail
>>22911407Surely if I use a knife I'll end up cutting into the plastic
>>22911418Depends on what you're doing. If you're painting the kit, then you can quickly cut the nub off (not flush) then do a quick sand to smooth things out. If you're snapping, leave a bit of the nub left with your nipper then use a good glass file to file it down flush.
Is the HG Shining Gundam worth picking up, instead of waiting for the RG? $20 CAD is a cheap enough price for it and my RG God Gundam is feeling lonely, but I don't know what I'd do with both the HG and the eventual RG
>>22911005
Groupbuilddude got lost in the Webway
>>22911289>>22911294That's kind of a narrow niche, since RX-93ff is only available at Side-F (besides the occasional surplus stock going to P-Bandai and Gundam Base Mobile Tour). Someone is almost certainly going to scratchbuild one though, or salvage/recast it off of their HG Dendrobium.
>>22911475It's looking like the RG won't have the shining finger sword. Probably to hold it back for a P-Bandai expansion kit.
>>22911509that's kinda evil
>>22911476Cow

>>22911052both XFS and JMS released green spartan.white spartan (pic related) is from XFS. it comes with waterslides and blue armor option parts
>>22911139so is bandai
>>22911546Who's better between XFS and JMS and why are they releasing the same shit
>>22911157you can thicken the balls/pegs/whatever with clear nail polish if it's meant to move but you just want it tighter>>22911550no clue, why would i buy two different bootlegs of the same HG
>>22911550i've read that jms is betterthey also include different waterslides compared to xfs
>>22911396Hey everybody! We're all gonna get laid!
>>22911550XFS has a box art, and about the same quality as JMS. JMS will send you a cardboard box with no art and better hope to god that it doesn't include a cockroach. They are about the same with just a small difference.
>>22911582Your body, yes yours, is a meat machine that was purpose-designed to get laid.
>>22911586I shall deny this body it's purpose for this is the only way to obtain true power!
>>22911589Hello fellow wizard.
>>22911585many chinese resellers will ship model kits (and other shit like figures) without the original box because it lets them use use a smaller and cheaper shipping box. some will give you the choice to pay a few dollars extra to ship with or without the box.JMS does have a box, the middleman you bought from just threw it out.
Are the ray studio chisels and tools actually any good? Like are they comparable to BMC or sab?
>>22911598are you good enough with a chisel to know the difference yourself
>>22911596The fucking chinamen. I knew it.
>>22911598they're rebranded made-in-china tools so no they are not fucking SAB levelat $27 usd each they cost about as much though
>>22911600I'm okay with them, nothing special. I definitely notice the difference between the one SAB chisel I have and the madworks I have the set of, cuts through the plastic much easier.
>Check yesterday and see that the Turn A MG is in stock in a couple of places>Decide to wait for black friday so I can buy it along with a bunch of other things>Check today and it is out of stock in both places>End up paying more than I would have today out of fear that it will be gone everywhere by BFSo this is the FOMO that people speak of. At least the UC stuff is easier to get a hold of from Bandai or chinks.
>>22911672For the foreseeable future if a kit comes out that you want, outside of common kits that get reprinted every 1-2months, you need to buy it right away or risk not seeing it again for years. Maybe it'll change with the new factory but I would assume it won't.

how does 3rd party retail p-bandai work? How do they get them? i want to know if i can anticipate a kit coming
I figured i should ask here since i got burned by Alclad a while back but anyone here have any experience with Splash Paints? I'm mostly wondering if it's not gonna come off as as soon as i try to clean enamel panel lines or some other issue I'm not considering, I got limited options for paint outside of tamiya where i live and i liked their indigo blue.
>>22911711Do you mean when a retail shop sells P-Bandai stuff? They just order it from P-Bandai and mark it up on their shelves.If you mean weird stuff like 7-Eleven colored PG Unicorn, that's just exclusive deals that they sign with Bandai, you don't want that shit anyways.
>>22911727>They just order it from P-Bandai and mark it up on their shelves.ah so it follows asia's pbandai rotations
>>22911694but i need to cut out the top art on the box so i can file it away with my manuals...
"Three week extension"
heading out to the store to buy some makeup sponges, anyone itt need any gay shit while I'm there?
>>22911753>>22911755>>22911757ebin.
>>22911753>>22911755>>22911757
>>22911755Ain't that a bit excessive?
>>22911727ngl I do want the 7-eleven Zaku II just because that shit's hilarious
>>22911764>thought you're joking >it's actually a real thingHoly fuck, I thought they only made RX-78
>>22911761I've been giving it some thought the last few days and this seems to be the best idea. Pretty much every Groupbuild so far has been 3 month at minimum asides from the very first which was only two months, and if there was no extension then this one would be over in only 2 and a half months. Three weeks gives us another half of a month plus the obligatory extension that somehow always get added near the end of the builds.
>>22911767nigga there's also a fucking Gunperry
>>229117697-11... is strong!
