Question for you guys. Why come Dunbine got a MG Dunbine but l-gaim’s and layzner’s MG was called RRR and MG Scopedog was just 1/20 Scopedog? Why come it’s not all called MG?
thoughts on hg zaku half cannon?
>>22937778because it's a mass-produced grunt suit and each unit is specialized for each pilot. RX-78 can only have enough variants since it's a prototype and very few of them are actually made.

That period was so fucking frustrating when Bandai was releasing lazy half-MSV kits as regular releases while keeping the actual MSV designs people knew and liked locked behind PB. Honestly the most insulting shit they ever pulled.
How come SEED Gundams look so much better in model kit form than in the lineart? Like the lineart and even anime looks dogshit, but in model kit form these actually look fire.

>>22938024He has to treat the kits that way so we can be able to see how resistant they actually are. You won't find out if a kit has flaws if you barely touch it

I was browsing through one of those chinese products website and found someone selling gunpla in those old illustration boxes, all 0079.

Maybe a very basic question but why goes grey have so much better coverage than white? And why do I see people suggest priming in grey then doing highlights in white rather than fully painting a part or detail white?

Does decal setter go on top of under the decal? Some people are saying using it on the part means the decal still stick easier, others are saying it'll allow the decal to move more. Some people only use it on top of the decal once it's in place. What are the proper steps?
>>22938191Nice try, but I won't be building that without a hazmat suit.
>>22938193I put setter first, then decal, then wait maybe an hour or so and add setter again to seal them in because I don't topcoat. Use a cotton swab to clean excess around the decal, I don't use it on top despite what everyone says because I tend to accidentaly move the decal around and in my opinion it makes it stick less
>>22938216>I put setter first, then decal, then wait maybe an hour or so and add setter again to seal them in>I don't use it on top despite what everyone saysSo which is it?
>>22938217I mean I don't pass the cotton swab to clean excesd on top of the decal

>>22938223>The dong has an inner frameHmmm impressive. Is it stable? Any issues with the fittings/pegs?
>>22938219But why wouldnt you clean the excess? When it dries it leaves that shitty outline.
>>22938243So it doesn't mess up the adhesion because I don't use topcoat afterwards
>>22938024Nope. I admit I found the first one weird at first but I don't care anymore since it never seems to come up, the second is entirely subjective, and the last part is hyperbolic at best and false at worst.
10 years ago bandai made a Zaku 1 using the Zaku II 2.0 frame. Yet for whatever reason they refuse to do this today.

>>22938271Modern HG kits still look terrible without using the entire pages of stickers that come with the kit, and only look marginally less shit with the stickers. MG and RG still look toyetic if you don't paint them to get rid of the bare plastic look.

I have the old OLD HG Zeta Gundam as a handmedown with one of its legs broken years ago (the moving piece for transformation iirc) and I just never bothered fixing it, he's still in a box somewhere, is he worth fixing up at all?

What do you think is the better choice between PG and MGEX Unicorn / Strike Freedom
>>22938651PG because big.
>>22938651MGEX Strike Freedom is better than PG. Unicorn I think is just a matter of preference but the MGEX has different color lighting
>>22938531I mean, there's worse uses for 2 bucks. And Raystudio has them for 2.5, so the difference is not that much. I would go for them.
>>22938423PB stuff that you want. I doubt that Retail will increase prices when they already have the stock.
>>22938193Setter is basically glue. The proper way is to use it underneath the decal so it glues to the plastic, but you can also use it on top to add an extra layer of thin glue to protect the decal. Meanwhile softener, a solvent, melts decals and helps them adhere to curves better and is often done exclusively on top
>>22938506The tip is good for crisp lines and dealing with edges and corners, especially if you only use normal cotton swabs with a circular bud. For $2, it’s worth a try. You can press it against a tissue to push the ink out of the sponge for a longer lifespan
>>22937821Are there any pics of the completed Tyrant Sword kit? Which company is making the kit?
>>22937747>blue labelDid it get rereleased semi recently?

Hello, I'd like to ask some advice about the Hi Nu RG. The shoulder frame piece (04-3 on the manual, torso section) doesn't seem like it'd fit unless I use a bit of force in it (I tried aligning it so that the side with the portruding part face downward just as the manual said), can someone tell me is this is supposed to be this hard to put together? I need to ask ahead of time if I have to apply a bit more force than I need to for these RG kit since they're so delicate.
>>22939146>>22939180aren't you supposed to disassemble everything if you want to primer or paint anything at all(yeah am snapshitter)
>>22939146t-the gray actually looks good on the gundam. it has that "military" feel to it.
>>22939246in preliminary coats, priming the whole gundam in one piece is okay, if you're just doing a quick check on the obvious imperfections. the final coats had to be done by piece though, unless you're painting a statue you can probably get away with painting it in one piece.
>>22939246In these two videos, he uses black primer on a complete PG and RG:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baxRpuGbuJYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVN5y4uIAKQ
>>22938862Only thing that I dont have is the barbatos.
How important is mark setter/mark softer for decals?
>>22939309you're dealing mostly with flat surfaces when you're applying decals in gunpla, so the softener is not that important. you'd wanna use decal adhesive to make your decals stick better, especially bandai decals.
>>22939320Does mark setter also eliminate the problem where you can see the edges of the decal? I also plan to top coat them so I wouldn't mind advice on what works best for just plastic + decals, and how long I should wait after applying the decals before I can topcoat them.
>>22939330silvering happens when you're applying decals on a matte surface. you'd wanna apply decals on a gloss surface first, then topcoat it with matte if you want to go for that finish. if you want to make it look like the marking is painted on the surface, you'd sand the edges until they disappear with a sanding sponge, then top coat it with clear of your choice.

>>22939060Makes me wonder, how do you guys do weathering on Gundam-types or generally white MS so they look weathered, used, scratched, but not dirty either? Every time I try, the kit ends up looking filthy more than damaged by fights

Dunb question but how do I learn to sand straight? I've seen some people scratch build parts and sand completely even surfaces with ridiculously sharp angles but when I sand I always end up with an uneven rounded surface because either my angle is a bit off or I apply uneven pressure throughout the stroke or...
>>22939414use grey instead of brown
>>22939462Use less pressure.
>>22939468I'm barely applying any pressure at all but even just a slight difference is enough to fuck it up
>>22939348Does bare plastic count as a matte surface? I'm just a snapshitter that wants to decal and topcoat my kits. Maybe markers here and there for minor color corrections.
>>22939462Back the sandpaper with something flat, the harder the backing the flatter it'll be
>>22939482I'm using a hard sanding board
>>22939475no. most gunpla kits has a glossy/shiny finish to it. If you want a matte finish, you have to coat it with one.
>>22939382>Same or similar colors but darker>now pay us more moneyLmao
>>22938862i don't have any of thosei thought about getting the sazabi ver ka but i'd rather have either the hg or the og mg >>22939462use a file, lay it flat on your desk, and run the piece along the file rather than running the file along the piece freehand. much easier to keep it at a straight angle. a lot of it is just practice though, you just have to be shit for a bit
>>22939488So following the reply thread, there's no risk of silvering when decals are applied to bare plastic?
>>22939539there shouldn't be. it only happens when applying on matte surfaces like flat topcoat or flat paints.
i've put decals over matte varnish multiple times and never had silvering, sounds like a skill issue or something
>>22939542
>>22939550seriously though what are they doing wrong? is it something that happens if you don't use decal solutions? is it because they're not rolling all the air from underneath with a qtip?
>>22939557Random anon here- I think the issue is not rolling out all the water, along with not letting them fully set. I wait a day in between application and topcoat and have never had slivering either. I occasionally use mark setter,but not always. I only use softer if the decal isnt on a perfectly flat piece
>>22938282You get that from a thrift store?
>>22939348>if you want to make it look like the marking is painted on the surface, you'd sand the edges until they disappear with a sanding spongefirst time i hear about thiscan't find any video example, how would you sand something so small without fucking up the gloss coat around?
>>22939588AFAIK it's less sanding and more like polishing until the gloss coat is level with the decal. I think it's a technique that comes from car modeling?
>>22939588>>22939592https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8Ss8ESGsecand yeah it's a technique that came from scale modelers you can even do this in military models
>>22939627that's cool but damn that's gonna take way too long
How would I go about painting the mg narrative b packs to get this blue and pink psychoframe like the promotional image? The b packs dont actually come with this psychoframe right? So I would have to buy both the c packs gundam and b packs expansion set and just paint the c packs psychoframe?
>>22939649the full Narrative Gundam B packs comes with a clear psychoframe. the DLC doesn't have it though.
>>22939588>>22939627just as an aside, i'd heard you could also do this with stickers if you did a thick enough coat of gloss over it befor sanding it and finished it in matte, but i tried this and it doesn't work very well and only makes a very marginal difference
>>22939660damn. well it looks like the full one is out of stock. i'll just wait. thanks for the heads up anon
>>22939663you can at least make it blend better by trimming all the excess edges
>>22939540Great! Less expense for me then!
>>22939627Do you know anywhere I could learn more techniques from scale modelers that gunpla builders might not be aware about or use? Kinda want to diversify what model kits I do.
post your never evers
Does anyone else kind of feel like Strike Freedom and Mighty Freedom were downgrades from the OG Freedom? OG is a really interesting take on both the nu and f91. It's like if the DX was done right. It's got that cool racecar vibes and good angles which make for cool poses. Strike Freedom and Mighty Freedom lose a lot of that unique coolness. Their whole gimmick is just being gaudy, which is a bit boring. Especially Mighty Freedom which is really plain. You wanna look at gaudy done right, look at Katoki's EW designs. He fucking cooked with that shit without having to resort to cheap gold to make stuff gaudy.
>>22939708Freedom is okay but it's kind of a shitty DX by itself. Strike Freedom is just worse. Mighty removes the one good thing SF had, the big silhouette of the wings.
>>22939698Nightshift, Plasmo both extensively cover the process of how they build and paint their models. I'd throw in boxman as well, although he only does boatshit.For something more serious, go read finescale modeller, or scaleaviation/armour modelling magazines. Yes that eceleb whore that gets shilled around here has done pinups for those magazines before you ask.
>>22939706
>>22939728I'll look up these guys, and I'll see if I can find these magazines in my country or at least a digital version. Thanks!Also, no idea what eceleb you're talking about.

Markers are the logical next step to make your mechas look nice without too much effort, right? What should I get? Is there a brand to get or avoid?I have access to this.https://www.mirax.cl/buscadorx.php?categoria=90103&ordenx=4https://irion.cl/collections/herramientas_hobby
>markerslol
>>22939844Skip the markers, they’re complete junk. Only useful if you’re just filling in nub marks on coating kits. Making it look good with minimal effort is panel line + decal + top coat
>>22939852>eats through your plasticyummy yum yum
>>22939844the logical next step is buying a full airbrush setup
>>22939754it's a wonder why the chinks still hasnt made one
>>22939844The logical next step is buying a pack of makeup sponges
The only markers worth having are metallic ones for eyes and sensors imo, and real touch because they're really versatile
>>22938306the fucked up thing about these is that they're like 70% new molds. There's the obvious things like the legs and waist, but the entire head is newly designed to accommodate a detailed monoeye rail, while the spiked shoulder and forearms are new molds without seams.These parts are straight upgrades from the older Origin Zaku mold, and I guarantee if we ever get another retail release in the line it won't use them.
Any idea if Citadel or Vallejo does phosphorescent paint?
>>22939843The head completely kills this kit
>>22939899Dude everything is just retarded. The head, the shoulders, the shield. And I feel like the torso doesn’t look right.
>>22939899everything except the rifle and minigun kills this kit
>>22939844These are pour markers, you can't paint a clean surface with these tipsYou have to pour some paint from the marker somewhere else and apply it with a brush Which costs double just buying a pot of paint and painting normally
the gm isn't too bad

Markers are fine faggots, not everyone has infinite time.
>>22939972Sounds like a wagie problem
>>22939972Uni student with way less time to do model kits than I'd like here. Markers just suck ass for large surfaces and it's not a matter of time spent. Keep them for tiny details or panel lining, not recoloring whole pieces. It's easier, more controllable and cheaper to just use paint and a handbrush.
>>22939972>not everyone has infinite timeok and? do you just want to speedsnap as many kits as possible in the time you have or do you want to make your kits look good?
>>22939972Markers look like shit. They are not fine.
Is Bandai's entry nipper ok?
>>22940021No stay away. It's literally re-badged chinkshit of the lowest tier quality.
>>22940021yeah it's perfectly fine, even if it is indeed a basic nipper in a different package it's not chinesium and it's not like they treat it as a premium product
Any good references for custom SD girl Gundams? Just got a Stark Jegan and found out that the base kit and CS frame are available online as STLs so I'm considering making a conversion kit.

>>22940064Why are you converting to GBP, which is insanely strong against the yen and has been all year, and then converting GBP to USD. It's literally listed at $85 plus shipping on volksusa right now.
>>22940067Fuck it I'm painting with markers
>>22940071because that's how much i paid
currently practicing airbrushing with just water in the little reservoir cup and I'm surprised I haven't used up that small amount of water yet after spraying for awhile. I can see how these little paint cups can last awhile, and to think 15ml of paint seemed too little, haha!
>>22940071>>22940078if you skip the conversion to my currency and go directly from jpy to usd then it's under 80 usd, and you'd pay less in shipping than me so it's probably under 75 if you buy straight from volks jp instead of the american scalper store
>>22940060And it still looks better than anything Bandai has put out
GM Light Armor WIP. Wish I bought more Nightseeker II's so I could make more of the OG GM since it had the original parts too.Also fuck this 900 second wait for the captcha now, who the fuck would think that was a good idea
>>22940087nobody really defends bandai besides ironic shitposters here.
>>22940087lmao no
>>22940090Nah there's a couple of Filipino/ Indonesian guys here who unironically think the average Ver Ka is peak and they really hate FSS for some reason. They talk shit about it in the discord all the time
>>22939844Only marker you need is chrome or copper/gold.
>>22940091Yes it does. Sorry but your Unicorn Strike Quanta looks like slop
>>22940095explain why they're by far the most profitable company in the entire model kit market
>>22940021They are trash even for runner cutting.
God I want to get Barbatos’s paint line but holy fuck it costs 300 just to ship it here.
>>22940060Kek. How can the five sloppy slop take this insult?
I wish we could just all collectively like model kits instead of arguing about whichever brands we like or don't like
>>22940108i like all model kits besides bandai
>>22940108I do like them all but people aren't wrong when they say FSS units look like ornaments or furniture. It's also hilariously easy to rile FSS fans up.
>>22940087>>22940090>>22940092>>22940095Bro Nagano is so ass he got fired from like 3 gundam shows. And he has only declined as an artist since the 80s. No bandai fan actually gives a fuck about five slop stories or even know what the fuck it is but you guys are obsessed with us for some reason

>>22940137makeup sponges, stockings
>>22940137tools, equipment and paints if the person has no other hobbies or desires
>>22939844AK markers are nice
>>22940122Black. I can't see well when painting white over gray primer
>>22940168great if you're using gaia or mr color gx but the majority of whites don't cover black very well. especially any acrylic whites
>>22940137Desk vacuum
>>22937981hoihoi.... SOVL
>>22940170I only ever used mr color gx white and gaia white so you're right. Gx white is a good attainable white for euros
>>22939852they're also good for color correction and metallics, although yeah if you're coating full pieces you may as well just get some acrylic paints and brushes/sponges
>>22940139>>22940143>>22940151but what tools would (you) pick as gifts for someone who you don't already know what they have / don't have?>>22940148nail polish too?
>>22939771If it’s hobby grade, it should be fine. Stick it on the runner first as a test
>>22940185Nippers, sets of paintbrushes, sets of files, a cutting mat, plastic cement, clip sticks, a large supply of melamine erasers,
>>22940112>he has only declined as an artist since the 80s.So, Nagano is the Japanese equivalent of John K?
>>22940112bandai hated him because his designs are too high level for cheap toy production and gtms are high art
>>22940207High art? Gtms are like coat racks you’d find in a shitty antique store.
I miss that one anon that would give me boners
>>22940207>>22940213Gtms?
>>22940213the only gtm that even remotely looks like a coat rack is daccas and that's only if you're not familiar with japanese architecture
Do you rike it
>>22938306What’s the point in these without using water slides? For some reason every big reviewer didn’t add them and their kits look like shit
I'm noticing I get some "splurts" or straight up tiny holes on some runner sections I spray on with an airbrush, the paint I'm using is thinned properly, so what's the issue? it's not all the time, but I am kind of spraying all over the area. Is this one of those things that can't be helped and gets better with more experience?
>>22940226are you using acrylics? you might be getting tip dry, you pretty much have to constantly wipe the dried paint off the needle when you use acrylics
>>22940228I'm spraying lacquers, I haven't taken apart my airbrush yet, just cleaning the cup and spray out any residue with lacquer thinner from home depot
>>22940229what's your trigger technique like? you should always make sure the trigger is never pulled back without air on. press for air, pull back trigger, release trigger, unpress to turn air off. you can get sputtering if you stop/start paintflow before air
>>22940237Okay I think this is it, I'm not getting the trigger pull perfect yet, I'm pressing it and pulling it back like a tard and spraying else where to make sure paint is coming out.
>>22940237>>22940243*updateyeah my issue is straight up resolved, pressing for air first before pulling back has made my spraying 1000% better, goddamn. I was doing it wrong the entire time
>>22940278This is gonna happen eventually like next decade for sure, as a P-bandai HG, I know cause I can see the future.
>>22940040Yes this is what called my antention, but I've been on the hobby for a year from EG to MG and honestly I think it's fine, even "good" nippers usually leave at least a mark
>>22940287Okay what about this?
>>22940295dont think so, they're gonna prioritize upcoming vanadis heart suits (if any) or this guy
>>22940287I unironically paid a professional remote viewer to tell me which designs will get kits in my lifetime and I can confirm this will get a P-Bandai HG sooner than you think. Also I'm really sad that we're legit never getting a HG Shamblo but I suppose I can accept it.

How do I remove nubmarks without any fancy tools
>>22940343nippers + nail + water
I'm interested in starting panel lining but I've seen a lot of kits where they used way too much ink and it's too thick and in my opinion it looks like shit, I just want the lines to be more noticeable, but not to the point of ruining it, any advice?
>>22940360Just be yourself. Panel lining isn’t that hard
>>22940343nippers + sandpaper
>>22940371If you use too much ink is there a way to go back or you are fucked?
>>22940360if you want the lines to be stand out less, use more muted colors rather than black. >>22940378yes, it's enamel so you can safely erase it with lighter fluid without harming any lacquer paint/topcoat/primer underneath.
>>22940360get a thin tip (ie not a gundam one) panel line pen like a micron instead of tardmiya accent lineget one in grey for the bright partswipe off excess
>>22940387Micron comes in different numbers, which one is best? And I can only find black, is there in gray?
>>22940346>>22940375Any nipper would do or do I need one of those super expensive ones
>>22940302I like the Witalliqus, I just wish it had a better shaped head and less pastel color scheme.
>>22940398I have a 005 which is 0.2mm and it's sliiightly too thick for a hg imo, so i'd say something closer to 0.1mm for black, but go a bit thicker forany other shadeyeah they have grey and even some other colorscopic pens are also nicebelow 0.1mm it's a bit too thin
>>22940185If you think they already have shit, just get them a shitload of levelling thinner because surely they paint. If they're novices, get them god hands, cheaper single bladed nippers that are more durable (dspiae), gunprimer raser origin, sanding sponge set. If they're snapshitters get them an airbrush, compressor, and some paints and thinner.
How do I get random reddit fags to pay for my shit
>>22940302This makes /gpg/ have conflicting emotions.
>>22939414the key is to not slather the model with weathering agent, and work on each part slowly, while knowing the context of kind of weathering you want to apply to it. junkyard scraps would have tons of rust and even rotting metal, while suits in active service might just see minimal paint scratches, oil/soot streaks, dried water and some yellowing on panels.
>>22939484use a diamond file, then smoothen with higher grit sandpaper with hard backing. it would round on the corners anyway when you paint it.

>>22940278What do you think happened to this one? Did the engineer plan to put AE on the center of the dish, slipped and decided he couldn't be bothered to redo it?

PG Big Zam
>>22940343I used to go nippers>nano glass file>5 grades of sanding sponge, but nowadays I just nip twice then get the nubmarks off with my knife. Never been happier really.
>>22940579I tried using a knife but I ended up making it look worse, is there a technique to it? Also, does nipping twice instead of once really make that much difference? I only do it once
>>22940549Have you tried making friends with people and not being a dick?
>>22940343Cut with nipper and leave a little bit of nub, use 400 grit to destroy the nub. Usually 4 strokes is enough to remove the nub and I just use higher grits to smoothen the surface.
should i get 26 of these?
>>22940582Snipping it twice, once far away (even max edge on the thin part) and again near helps reduce the stress on the plastic. If you’re experienced white marks on nubs that won’t go away despite sanding, that’s because the cutting stressed the plastic
>>22940635Oh cool, but it doesn't improve nubs right?
MG Vidar is some lego technic lookin shit
>>22940634yes, and post pics of your box fort. Also be sure to rub the plastic all over your hands to see if they're poisonous
>>22940635>>22940644>white marks on nubsSorry, I'm retarded
>>22940634wait for the bootleg mission packs bro
>>22940582Another Anon already answered the cutting question, but yeah, first far to avoid accidental bends, then a bit closer for the same reason. Then I cut the last itty bit with my knife like I'm peeling an apple. Little by little until I can comfortably get a straight cut.
>>22940360If its lines on white parts, use grey or dark grey panel liner accents. Use black on every other color. All you need to know aside from how to clean it up like>>22940383 explained.

>>22941308red logo and first run boxes command high prices now.
>>22941330how much can i sell my empty boxes for
>>22941308I swear every new builder has a waiting period before they end up tossing them. I will say it has saved a couple parts I forgot to cut later onto build cleanups but I try to toss them within a couple weeks.
>>22941330Red logo boxes do not, japs will pay more for new blue ones
>>22941338To save space I now just get rid of the box immediately when I start working on a kit, unfinished runners go back in a bag and get put in a drawer when I'm not working on it
What materials can I use to recreate a broken v fin? I can't glue it because I lost the piece
>>22941349How broken?
>>22941349runner sticks
hgnnnnggg how much longer till the bootleg efreets are out
>>22941356One half shorter than the other>>22941358Way too thick
>>22941370Cut it, sand it until it's thin enough
>>22941370You can use a lighter to stretch the runner and just sand it till it matche.
>>22941409>>22941428Welp, just found out i threw away all the runners. Guess I'll just leave it like that
bootleg ugly shit incomingallegedly Varguil too
>>22941451these are some big ass allergy transmitters
>want metallic orange>don't have one>try to make it mixing red and yellow metallicsThat's a nice gaudy gold but definitely not what I was going for. I used some clear orange I had left on some parts. Had I not been lazy every part would be orange now, this'll do. My fingertips were freezing out there in the cuckshed
The only good gunpla youtuber is jabman025
>>22941451Are they doing bandit flower? Because that shit is like 12k vs the regular atlas which goes for 3-4k
>>22941435Use it as an opportunity to practice/experiment with weathering, starting with where the v-fin broke off
>>22941472Nah man it's my most expensive kit, I don't wanna fuck it up
>>22941469It's literally the same kit in a different color you fucking son of a bitch
Gunpla's not dead
This has got to be one of the most cursed ways to pack runners that I've ever seen.
>>22941482What's this? Daban The O?
>>22941482Whats the problem? It protects the box and then you get to explode bubbles
>>22941482works just fine
>>22941476It's not, you nigger. The gun is different, the verniers are different, and the shield is different
>>22941451I wonder if basically ALL the yellow trim is going to be color correcting stickers like the Bandai slop was
I lied the Typhoon won't be my last kit for the year... There's no Alligator kit but the Cheburashka is so close in design that I don't really care and am just going to paint it in Beatrix's colors
>>22941451My hands are itching already
>>22938363Why didn’t they just make a kit out of that design instead?
Another stupid question:If my primer is white and I want the piece to be white, is there any point in painting white on white primer?
>>22941599yes
>>22941599Primer is not a paint. It's not just the color, but texture and durability.
>>22941599Unless you're using a surfacer that doubles as a primer you will want to paint over it
>>22941603Uhhhh bro your Nazca mechanical surfacer? Naoki disagrees with you
>>22941607Not all surfacers are primers and not all surfacers are quality enough to also be acceptable paints
>wanna make 2 blitz gundam arms for the RG amatsu mina to make them symmetrical>only 1 shoulder connection piece for the kit that can't be flipped over, and other arm is abs inner framethe dream is dead
Do you get burned out from working on one project? I'm mentally blocked with making pla plate armor pieces for my build.
>>22941674Only in the pre-painting phase. If it's just seams i'll steamroll through but precise stuff eventually turns into something that I will "get back to later"
I've got like 60 kits in my backlog at this stage and I don't think I care about model kits any more. It's over bros.
>>22940997Why not just rotate different models around to display once in a while to keep things fresh rather than displaying all of them?
>$78ISHYGDDT
>>22941705I guess I got tired with scribing the kit and just want something else. I’ll build another kit then revisit this one.
>>22941794Is it an HG?
>>22941818Yeah it is.
>new Pbandai dropWow it's fucking nothing
>>22941842You retards say this every time
>>22941849Every time it’s always fucking recolors, clear colors, extra shit parts no one cares about. I won’t get excited unless it’s entirely new model kits
>>22941599i prime gray on white surfaces, then prime it back to white once i fixed the scratches and am satisfied with it.
>>22941853>Could drop a reprint of MG Turn X, FAZZ (All versions), EX S 1.5, Deep Striker>Nope heres an RX 78 in clear colour.BAAAANDAAAAAI.
>>22941865They did a reprint of the Turn X like a year or two ago. What I'm more confused about is their refusal to reprint the FAZZ, since it's just printing the extra parts and the MG ZZ Ver. Ka, the latter of which sees regular printing as it is.
>>22941870They allegedly regularly reprint the Titanium finish version lol.
>>22941873Buy our premium premium version please How hard is it to strip the coating on this if you want to paint it?
IT'S UPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk1FPdG9Ax4
>>22941865Clear RX-78? You mean THREE clear RX-78s, one special coating RX-78, one RX-78 anime version, and 19 more RX-78s of various scales and lines.Where the fuck is my HG Kehaar II reprint? My HG Hazel Owsla? When are you ever going to sell the HG AoZ accessories in the US, Bandai?
>>22941268Xe isn't wrong. We already lived through Peak Gunpla which was 2018-2019 looking back. Good balance between regular/PB and everything was cheap and easily available. You can however say that was the beginning of the end when the Barbatos took 3 years to get a MG when that shit was out while the shows were still airing in the past.The only thing we have now that we didn't back then was a sizeable amount of bootlegs. And even then the Chinese can only weasel their way into the market because Bandai keeps fucking up these days.
>>22941913>The only thing we have now that we didn't back then was a sizeable amount of bootlegsplenty of chinkkino ocs as well though.
Wheres my fucking Sirene, Volks?!
>>22941907Its really strange how they reprinted the AoZ kits but didnt include the Kehaar.
>>22941870because FAZZ uses ZZ Enhanced parts and Bandai dies a little inside when they print p-bandai stuff as retail.
>>22939230Everything 630 USDI still have to buy a narrative gundam to go with the b pack
>>22941941boner gundam
>>22941957What a sexy beast.
>>22937560Will the deadline basically be Nov 21st at 11:59 pm? I'm trying to get as much time as possible even on the very last day, and the final day just so happens to be my day off from work. I swear to the lord almighty, the universe keeps coincidentally fucking me over, making me unable to spend time on my build, even with a generous extension, this has happened like 3 times in the past and I really am fighting reality, or maybe even actual demons that are fucking with me. I wish I could paint late night but I live in a household of assholes and my compressor is loud as fuck when the tank gets emptied and it refills.
>Formula reprintfinally
>>22941794I sorta like it but>P-Bandai>am leafthis thing's gonna sail right past $100 leafbux and it's a fucking HG....
>>22942041Come on, Kotobukiya. Give us Malos's Siren too. We can't just paint ours jet-black if that would make the effect parts feel off as an expense.On a completely different note, anyone recap on how many times the Shining Finger Sword was ever used during the entire first half of G Gundam? Because I only saw a handful of episodes to only remember the Shining Gundam turning gold once when using it, so that we can get that effect part on the P-Bandai RG Shining Gundam True Super Mode, which has to happen. We only got that effect, like, once ever in the HGFC kit.
>>22942054>>22941794pretty this thing is just the hg delta gundam with silver coating. just paint the delta gundam silver and slap a v fin on the head and save the money.
>>22941972aoz in a nutshell
Which MG will we get first? One from SEED Freedom, Witch from Mercury, G-Reco, Hathaway, or Requiem for Vengeance?
>>22942080SEED Freedom. The Full Mechanics line is enough for G-Witch, and RE:100 might still be on the table for the Xi and Penelope because they are too big to be MGs. RFV and G-Reco won't get MGs, with the latter being given the G-Saviour treatment of never getting MGs at all.
Bought a bunch of gunpla related stuff from Ali's 11.11 sale.
>>22941451>VarguilFuckBought five peebs recently they’re all turning bootleg. Here’s my list as a bootleg oracle.>Egba>Varguil>Efreet NachtOnly ones left are>Zaku Cannon>G-Line
>>22942083Forgot the buffing blocks.
>>22942082Damn, it’s so crazy that we aren’t guaranteed mgs for new shows anymore. Like it used to be a given that the main gundams at least would get them.
>>22942098To be real honest, Mighty Strike Freedom could be guaranteed if they do the Star Build Strike approach (release the Strike Freedom Type-2 first, complete with parts to convert it back to the base Strike Freedom as its 2.0, followed by the Proud Defender, and hopefully selling lots of this will be a drive to make a Wings of the Skies effect parts set for the MG and MGEX). Calibarn is most likely Full Mechanics with similar gimmicks to the Aerial, starting with a set of red plates for Permet Score 5 and then adding an extremely hard to make rainbow electroplate for the Permet Score Over 8. Finally, in regards to RFV, it's just a pet project that would not make a Master Grade, but G-Reco is pretty much dead to Bandai anyway.
>>22942082>RE:100 might still be on the table for the Xi and Penelope because they are too big to be MGsbut both of these lines are 1/100?
>>22942128RE:100 are basically Non Grades. They're supposed to be in that line for a bit leaner parts count than MGs.
The Chinese are at it again.
>>22942164will i get real grade skin rash with this
I'm using displae markers to color correct a snap build but the marker eraser ran out midway through the job. Is it true that rubbing alcohol can be used to do the same job?
>>22942007It will likely be the thread that lasts through that day, if past groupbuilds are any indication.
>>22942183I heard those are acrylic markers so IPA should do the job fine.
why does this shit cost as much as a hyaku shiki 2.0?
>>22942230looks like some shitty chrome coating
>>22942230The plated chrome coating probably, this shit is super expensive despite how terrible it looks in practice
>>229420833 nanoglass files are not enough. Get like 100 and buy them off a nail supply shop.
>>22942230Me when I paint my gunpla with soft touch markers.
>>22942083>low tier chink scribers ohnononono
New thread. Report spammers or don't, I'm not sure it'll make much of a difference.>>22942255>>22942255>>22942255
>>22939972>>22939987I markered the entire Zero Scrander for Mazinger Zero in poury metallic redI-I like it
>>22940137>>22940185Please I'm begging you don't assume they paint, for I do not paint
>>22942260even OP has lost hope...
>>22942083those drills and scribers are literally useless. neither are sharpened and the sizes aren't what they state (especially the thinner ones). cancel them if you can and get madworks or dspiae chisels and get some drillbits like these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004411348630.html
>>22942083based. i got a dspiae vise & hand drill and a border model scriber, and that same wet palette>>22942426>drillsit's a universal chuck though, if he needs better/sharper/smaller bits he can just buy them from his local hardware storeprobably true for the scriber though
>>22942260Does it matter? It keeps duel from ruining the threads.
Does the rise of third party kits mean that there is demand for more kits that Bandai is failing to capitalize on? Or are there other factors that would make more Bandai model kits not as profitable such as production capacity or economies of scale?
>>22942426They already shipped. ;_;Should I have at least gotten the Moshi branded stuff instead of unbranded?
>>22942643I saw a review for the wet pallette on YouTube and it's apparently quite good.>>22942426Found bits cheaper in pick3. What size would I need for HG kits to drill rifle barrels and stuff?https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqjlLVp
