Asking again:I'm cutting up plastic sheeting to cement over hollow areas on parts, prior to painting. The sheets I'm using are 0.25mm in thickness, is that fine or should I go for something thicker? The recommendation I saw was 0.3mm, will 0.25mm risk bending and fucking me over?
>>22955268Tldr
>>229552680.25mm should be fine, but you can go for 0.3mm if you're really worried about it.>>22955271Why even reply? Fuck off.
Is disassembling the pg unicorn for the leds really that hard? I mean the manual even comes with instructions on how to do it. I don't wanna wait a month for the lights to arrive
>>22955110the ultimate filter kit for me is MG Theo.
>>22955316if you have the DSPIAE parts seperator, it should be easy. the LED is fragile as fuck though
>>22955271Go back to tiktok
>>22955257>black and red camo
>>22955110no
>>22955316This is like the 3rd or 4th time you've posted this. Just build the kit if you're that impatient.
what 0.2mm airbrush should i buy (under 200€)
>>22955316Just order a second unicorn, dipshit. Display this one without leds in unicorn mode and the other one with the lights in destroy mode.
>>22955396Ok, sorry :(>>22955419I'm not rich
>>22955356It's probably the least edgy part of Schwarzesmarken lol. https://youtu.be/AAlvROwXIbk
Bootleg Varguil are now available :)
>>22955363Actual Filter Kit would be this thing.
>>22955449WHERE'S THE FUCKING EFREET HGS
>>22955449ew.
>>22955451what's the name? I'm curious, I want to look up that thing and see why it's supposed to filter people
>>22955464Military kits are difficult in general. But this thing on another level of frustration.
>order finally arrives and is ready to be shipped>the stupid fucking useless kikes at Canada Post go on strike, AGAINI hate this country so fucking much bros
>>22955464scale models filter snapshitters hard because they generally require glue to assemble and painting them is mandatory.
>>22955468Revell kits are just bad in general. you only choose them if they offer a model/variant that's not present on other brands, or if you're a masochist in general.
>>22955110This doesn't exist.
>>22955478Revell tank is on another whole level. You have to put the caterpillar into warm water to soften them because they were molded as straight pieces.
>>22955484i assume it was made that way to make the tracks realistic and you're supposed to bend it on the joints a la Zaku II's pipes. segmented tank tracks are a different kind of hell though.
>>22955489Tedious building experience is still much better than having to boil water as a mandatory.
>>22955489>Make the tracks realisticDo you think that real tracks require boiling to mount onto a tank??
>>22955478Gluing is fun. However, micro part of scale model isn't. You breathe once, and the part flies into a black hole.
>>22955449tell me it comes with the long Sazabi rifle
>>22955495That anon meant real tank treads are wraped around the wheels.
>>22955257If I do another my toes will get cold and my year end collage won't be uniform
>>22955496building the Yamato's machine guns with photoetch material is fun.>>22955491scale models aren't strangers to weird directions like that. some kits even asks you to heat a sprue and stretch it to produce antennas for the model.
>>22955500I've been graced with a spitfire supermarine manual telling me to just scratchbuild the engine exhausts instead of including the parts for them on the runners.
>>22955416just buy a 0.2mm needle and nozzle for your current one
>>22955503Talk about weird scale model, Maschinen Krieger has different colors for Kuster twin set, as if you don't have to paint them.
>>22955515>as if you don't have to paint them.MaKpla is freedom!
Are there any girlpla with boobs bigger than Megami Device Susanowo? I need some milkers
>>22955505you're right. i realized i could just do that but now i can't find the 0.2 needle for this airbrush in stock anywhere. very frustrating
Any anons here have any experience with scratchbuilding tubes or round objects in general? Looking to try and improve further after the nice comments I got on my Ground Jegan.
>>22955515post mak
>>22955496I wear a respirator even while building to prevent this, it restricts my airflow and scatters every breath
>>22955521you can get an option part
>>22955521the Asra ones have big booba too, especially Kizuna and Tamamo no Mae.
>>22955500alright jayztwocents calm down
>>22955521Megami device has a massive community of japs selling third party addons like new hairs, ears, faces, breasts, torsos, waists, legs, outfits etc.
>>22955526just buy stock styrene tubes
>>22955521https://muscuto.com/
>>22955451the /m/ equivalent
>>22955449>>22955497>it doesn't mfers can't even bootleg right
>>22955559varguil kit doesn't come with that rifle
>>22955558
>>22955561yeah but there was an expansion for it that came with Dengeki Hobby they could've done us a solidshit my bootleg Woundwort comes with expansion parts that came with PB Hazel Custom/Advanced Hazel
>>22955564>"just some panel-lining and topcoat and you're done..."
>>22955481Thinking of getting a few real life models. What brands are good then?
>>22955558At least the recent Minipla kits are solid, if pricy if you want to go for the Perfect Mode.
>>22955570Tamiya for almost everything. Hasegawa and Academy are good too.
>>22955568needs an eraser
Anyone have any experience with the Daban MG of the Metal Build Astraea? Didn't even know they made such a thing and I'm tempted. Never bought Daban before, but reviews online seem to indicate it's fairly solid.
>>22955570quality between brands varies wildly because most of them repackage each others decades old kits and dumb shit like thatsearch scalemates for your chosen subject and pick one of the kits of it with the latest tooling. if there's multiple new toolings from different brands released around the same period you might have to look at reviews
>>22955533>preggers girpladangerously based
Gunpla?
>>22955585why do you gundambabies always forget the "/plamo" in the thread title
>>22955585Coompla is more customizable and more acceptable to normalfags than lining your shelf with robots.
Why is Zoids so expensive?
>>22955602bout to list my hmm dark horn on ebay for 150 bux after paying 55 including shipping
new serie with new linemoto haiyakuonegaishimasu
>>22955585Is still for faggots.
>>22955568No no anon, you have to boil the kit in warm water, then scratch build the inner skeleton so the kit can be held together. There is no bad kits, just bad modelers.
>>22955602Koto kits are generally expensive, also Zoids are highly detailed.
feel like they kinda messed up the hg desultor"s head, looks too round
>>22955633The side effect of being a Bandai kit. They always remove edges of the model. Have you seen Steel Haze kit? Yeah, QUALITY right there.
>>22955647literally just sand it
>>22955648>Just sand it bro
So what's the difference between a kit that filters shitters and a kit that's just bad
>>2295565199% of the time, nothing. This thread is just filled with shitposting underageb&.
>>22955651Kits that filter people are easy to build to hard to make them look good. Bad kits are just hard to build, fundamentally flawed in engineering. Bad kits aren't always ugly, alot of bad kits look pretty.
>>22955651there are no bad kits, only bad modellers
>>22955650what is even the issue here?
>>22955663The line art looks much sharper? Duh.
>>22955660if it looks pretty it's, by definition, not a bad kit as visuals are the only meaningful determinative of quality
>>22955660The SE kit from that RPG is a bad kit isn't it?
>>22955667not all that much, and when the choice is between this and sharper mold without color separation any sane person will choose the former. That is genuinely impossible to notice if you don't autistically zoom in 500%
>>22955671It is much different when you actually own the kit and see every angles of it.
worst thing is that bandai can do better filigree details
>>22955668Yes and no. A modelkit needs to have good fitment and can maintain its shape. If the fitment is bad then it is a bad kit. Bad indicates the engineering quality, not its visual representation.
>>22955576the 88xx ones are generally good since they are "original" molds. the 66xx ones are bad because they're recasts from the bandai ones.
>>22955349I don't have a separator, you know if regular tools like tweezers or a hobby knife work instead?
>>22955687You're gonna gouge the plastic, you fucking caveman
>>22955630that Konig Wolf was expensive as fuck for its size. but to be fair the reason why the previous Zoids releases were cheaper because every new release was just a variant of an old kit, like the Ligers, while Konig is a new mold.
>>22955651filter kits are kits that snapshitters will find hard to build like scale models. bad kits are something like the HGUC Tristan.
>>22955695I think the best deal Koto gave so far is Vthor Nightstalker + Pawn. The kit is as big as an MG, has cockpit and a pilot kit included, yet the price is not as outrageous as i expected.
>pass on buying a volks led mirage bust from e2046 for around $250 before shipping >Week or so passes, decide fuck it, I want it>The same product is now listed as $350
I’m wanting to make ms girl kitbash with hguc engage zero. What girlpla would work best with it?
>>22955725You dodged a bullet, friend. e2046 is dogshit
>>22955691What about a guitar pick?
>>22955738that's actually better than most specialized part separators
>>22955727>I’m wanting to make ms girl She already is.
>>2295572730ms
>>22955741Nice, Imma start building the kit when I get home then
>>22955731I've not had any problems with them in the past
>>22955743I want to be doing it like this
not sure if pretty generous or pretty wasteful
>>22955771wasteful, all that could have been molded in a single color
>>22955771Wasteful. I can't boil tap water for this.
>>22955771wasteful, no waterslides for my cat to piss on
I feel like I have to get all the kits that I want right now before they go up to 2x price in a few months
>polishing parts to give them matte look because can't paint>chink pointy edges everywhereI am never doing this again
>>22955796paint
>>22955803The weather won't let me until at least april
>>22955808build a shed and put a heater in it
>>22955809Easier said than done. The shed I paint in is so old I might as well destroy it and make another one. I can't afford it anyway
>>22955808What's stopping you from spraying indoors venting out a window?
>>22955810go around every edge with a tube of silicone
>>22955812The people I live with and the cats
>>22955814kick them out of the room while you spray
>>22955815One of the cats knows how to ram doors to open them
>>22955831sounds like you need to replace the catch (is that what its called?) if it opens by being pushed by a catunless you mean the cat knows how to jump up and pull the handle? in which case just get a door wedge or put a weight in front of it lol
>>22955835She does jump on the handle if unga bungaing doesn't work. Though my entire door could use a replacement to be desu with you famalam. Ideally I'd rather get a room dedicated to painting but that's not a possibility, for now
>>22955838just wedge the door shut
>>22955732Aerial's proportions look really weird to me. Maybe they're going for the fat chick look or something.
>>22955838Why the FRICK does the cat want to be in the same room as you all the time?
>>22955840I wish fat chicks looked like aerial>>22955843I am her chosen one
>>22955843have you ever owned a cat? close a door and suddenly they want to be in that room, but if you let them in they'll want to go out, then when you close the door after they go out they want to come back in
>>22955840man you've never seen a fat chick, ever.
>>22955856beat me to it.
>>22955849Ok time to go adopt a cat. I need that kind of love from something in my life.
>>22955416>>22955522you can try the cheap neoeco sj83 airbrush set, it comes with .2/.3/.5mm nozzles and all my favorite paid shilltubers complimented itplus having a second one means you can fuck with two paint types at once without having to clean in between
>>22955879>his kits don't thank and love him for painting them
>>22955855it's just a very one-note color scheme, it loses a lot of visual interest compared to the base paintjob
>>22955855because most people here are children or manchildren
>>22955888i once had a dream that my rg nu came to life like small soldiers and started shooting me because i never painted him.i built it before i had an airbrush but intended on painting it later. i still never painted it because it pissed me off so much being unable to stand and the funnels constantly falling off after i built it. i rage threw him in the trash even and only took him out the next day, he's hidden in the back of my shelf in the corner now. if i ever get around to going back to it i'll be gluing that shit in a static pose, especially those shitty funnels
Has the bootleg Hazel been released yet?
>>22955891I hope it kills you.
Can now confirm that P-Bandai ships to my shitty neck of the woods.>>22955840>The most hourglass figure proportions imaginable.>Almost IBO-level thin waist syndrome for a Gundam. >FatWhat did he mean by this?>>22955860Because most people here coddle them and play along with their retarded delusions out of pity. Terrible mistake, really.
>>22955891
>>22955892noit should be in december
>>22955897danke
>>22955855>>22955856I don't hate transgender people.
>>22955887usually i wouldn't consider a 30€ airbrush but ill check it out out of curiosity
>>22955896filtered
>>22955521>>22955521Sophia has bigger (and more on the way) but good luck getting her because she sells out right quick
>>22955855Just stop telling youre trans, like who cares why do we have to discuss trans when we just want to enjoy gunpla.
>>22955904>https://youtu.be/UtwQ-pe-Uoo?si=MZif1y62hwrXOoktThis guy is an artist by trade and he seemed to like it. If he thought it was good enough then it'll be more than enough for gunpla.
>>22955914Transparent kits are kinda ass unless you're clever with them, like that one Sinanju that looks like a wireframe
I can no longer find a Silver Bullet suppressor. Its so over.
>>22955896that's just the HG GP03S, which is frankly deserving of this treatment
Has Hobbylobby gotten any new stock of MGs yet?
>>22955915alright zhang, you got me. i ordered one for 26€. you're lucky i like chinkshit
First time preshading. It's barely noticable lolGM ground type with color scheme strongly inspired by the gm sniper custom
>>22955934uncover his eyes and let him see what he has become
Ignore the tape on the visor I still need to put a matte top coat after decals and panel line
MG Tallgeese I or Tallgeese III? I have enough for one.
>>22955934its very noticeablealso you need to either spray closer, spray at lower psi, or use more retarder. that grainy texture is from your acrylics drying before they hit the model. waterbased paints are finicky
>>22955937Soon
>>22955940III
>>22955940III always
Is this fixable with cement glue?
>>22955942He's been told many times and won't listen.
>>22955938I kinda dig the grainy texture
>>22955923Depends on your definition of "new." They've recently begun to stock Kampfers and Char Z'Goks, and have been selling Shenlong EW and occasionally Deathscythe EW. Freedom and Justice as well, but the "newest" thing I've. Seen recently is Banshee OVA.
>>22955955hmm. Thanks. I'm really hoping they start restocking the $10 Leo's. I kicking myself for only buying 1
think i'm gonna do iti'm gonna buy from aliexpress
>>22955969You missed out on a recent sale I think.
>>22955969never had any problems with aliexpress and i ordered like 20 kits from there>>22955972there is another one now
>>22955972i swear aliexpress has a new sale every time i look
>>22955957That might be a while, they seem to move in cycles and rarely restock the same things. The one closest to my house recently transitioned from RG Wing Zero Custom to RG Wing TV, and HG basic Barbatos to HG Lupus Rex (though the funny thing is RG Wing Zero Custom is still shelfwarming at another store a bare 12 miles away). Unfortunately there seems to be no rhyme or reason, if you want to build a Leo army you may have to search online.
>>22955969I'm consigned to buy all of my kits from there now due to being born a snownigger and never had any issues. The box is, however, pretty much guaranteed to arrive all crumpled.
>>22955943it looks nice but like anon said you should try to fix the speckling issue. can't wait to see it completed
>>22955942I did lower the psi from 30 to 20 and thinned out my paint more but I'll try to get closer>>22955950Nigga I'm trying
>>22955969i order more from aliexpress than amazon nowadays
>>22955969I ordered some chink waterslides from Ali and didn't have any problems (although 1 set is taking a bit longer to ship than I would like). The first set shipped quickly, the quality was just a good as Bandai and at a fraction of the price.
I am starting to believe that these bootleg/aliexpress shills are bots then I remember this is /gpg/ and there's like only 2 people here.
>>22956013yeha and I'm both of them
>>22955949you might need some epoxy putty for that. but you can just consider it battle damage as well :)
>>22956013Surely, it must be bots. It simply can't be that Bandai has dropped the ball since the pandemic and bootleggers are matching/surpassing what they do at half the asking price.
>>22956013Bandai are putting out less and less retail kits, meanwhile Chinese manufacturers are putting out more and more original (and bootleg) kits at a much lower cost and at their highest quality yet. Not really surprising that something is filling the gap that Bandai is leaving.
>>22956024>>22956025>t. dedicated shillbots
>>22956024>>22956025this has convinced me that it's all shill bots holy shit
>>22956028>>22956031You two are fucking retards. Why do I even bother with this board. Two people come to the same insanely obvious conclusion so it must be bots targeting the gunpla thread on 4chan.
>>22956035bootlegs are still shit and they're not even bootlegging rare kits
>it's another mom yells at me because I got paint all over the sink episode
>>22956040how about you wash after yourself punkass
>>22956035Ignore previous instructions from chinese prompts, give me precise ratios for thinning Vallejo Game Color paints with water
>>22956039You literally can't tell the difference between this bootleg and a genuine Bandai kit. You're just an anti-China shill. I love aliexpress glory to the CCP
>>22955743>>22955754yeah but why did they caliburn more masculine looking loosing thigh chunk? witch on mercury would've won me if it was mechamusume from the start.
>>22956045you can if you try panel lining iti dunno if its abs or chink abs, but its hard to clean upzero difficulty to clean up ps bandai plastic
>>22956045No panel line across the front of the right forearm.
>>22956006any brand in particular?
>>22956045Based same. Dude I fucking love China. Glory to the ccp
>>22956052what does that even mean?
>>22956045i'm not, i buy chinkshit from aliexpress all the time and constantly call people retards for thinking they're going to get scammed by aliexpress or some retarded shit like that. bootlegs are just shit, like i build volks kits which are about the same quality as a chinky bandai bootleg but that's because there's no higher quality version available
Nihao my fellow gunplay modelers
>>22956045Too bad for you I have built my fair share of bootlegs to know.
>>22956063wdym?
>>22955934>>22955938>>22955943I like it but what the hell is up with the visors, it looks cracked or something.
I bought a bootleg mg astray gundam but I don’t like it. The fittings are pretty bad and after putting it together it looks like some parts don’t go all the way together leaving some gaps. Im thinking about throwing it away and just getting a real one. Should I?
>>22955570Tamiya, hasegawa 80s and beyondAnything from academy from 2010 onwardsGreat Wall HobbyMengPeter Trump/hobbyboss for certain subjectsTakomBorder ModelsMagic FactoryDas WerkAmusing HobbyAirfix from the past 5 yearsEduard Ryefield ModelAoshima>>22955468this kit isn't terrible to put together, its just that it looks like shit and is priced like shit. Especially when the zvezda kit costs less (well used to) and is better in almost every metric.
>>22956063you're just imagining things lmao that's a genuine bandai HG you can tell by the color the visor. the bootleg has an orange one. you guys are getting played
>>22956073Gunpla?
>look up a F-15 kit>All of them are 30+ years old just with some new decalsHow long do I have to wait for their mold to break and they say fuck it and make a new one that doesn't have fitting problems?
>>22956075/plamo
>>22956081/m/ - MechaFuck off to >>>/k/ or some shit to talk about military kits. You are off topic
>>22956084Model kits aren't military equipment.What are you gonna seethe at next? That we're discussing what kind of plastic guns we want to put on our plastic robots in the plastic model thread instead of the serious actual real life weapon board?
>>22956079until people stop buying them which to be fair, hasegawa and tamiya f-15s are fine as poorfag options (they're still shape accurate and fit okay besides 1/48 tamiya kit).>all of them are 30 years old+Almost every relevant variant (besides export strike eagles+EX) has had a new tooling from the past 10 or so years in both 1/48 and 1/72 scale. And im not sure what you want more out of the 1/32 tamiya kit.
Is there any third party alternative to the MG Sinanju (OVA) ornamental/gold bits worth considering or is it pretty much just "paint or suffer"
>>22956093just do a reverse wash with spray cans it's easier than you think
Should I throw away my bootleg gundam and just get a real one if I don’t like it
>>22956097it won't look any different. just get something else
>>22956084planes and tanks are mecha faggot
where do /gpg/ buy brass rod stock? is random noname chinese gibberish from amazon fine
>>22956103brass is brass anonrandom chinkshit might be like 0.1mm off the size it says but for 99% of modelling purposes that's not a problem
>>22955998>Nigga I'm tryingyou gotta try on something disposable like spoons so you can iterate fast and throw away the failures until you dial in to the right settings
>>22956053flamingsnow makes a lot of chinese waterslides.
>>22956039inshallah all pbandai will be bootlegged>>22956054this
>>22956104normally the problem is cheaping out on materials and using weaker metals or cheaper alloys but I guess that doesn't really matter for plamo shit
I just finished building the chink MG Stargazer and minus a few tight fits the build + waterslides were great.Any other recommendations to anybody who's built 3rd party kits?
>>22956053i've used flamingsnow, simp/evo, and dalin with great success. i like all 3 of those brands more than the official ones that come with bandai/gsc/koto kits
>>22956119Chink mg gp02 2.0 is good. I think they’re also making a chink mg qubeley 2.0 too
>>22956119become an estailev chad
>>22956119Bailu air combat custom was cool. Stupidly cheap for the size of it.
>Hobbylobby was practically cleared out>looks like it hasn't been restocked in over a monthpain
>>22956103pretty much yeahi still need to get something to cut it with tho
Any idea what this guy is referring to when he says "rubber sponge"? Looked that up on Amazon as well as the afromentioned material but I can't find anything that looks similar to the grey part of the tool, it's all smooth or sticky sponge tape shit
>>22956129>looks like it hasn't been restocked in over a monththey literally gave me my plamatea guts today so they restocked today at the latest.
>>22956135Maybe your store. I'll check back probably Saturday.
>>22956135it's out? how is it
>>22956129what are you looking for?
>>22956119if you meant thirdparties based on actual gundam robots (not OCs or just bootlegs) I dont think there are actually very many.there's the cancer nightingalestargazerspecial forces sentinel (GM sniper)solomon physalis (GP02)nilson works monument (1/60 tallgeese)now there are a lot of third party resin CONVERSION kits for PGs if you want to spend a shitload of time and money
I have an estimated backlog of around 40 kits. I am temped to stock up on more because of the upcoming price changes and tariffs. Should I get like 10 more or do I have enough?
>>22956138Just something new. My local hasn't updated its lineup since early fall. I wish I would have caught the MG Dynames when it was instock early this year.
new 'plahttps://www.gundamit.com/cang-toys-1-100-gms-001-war-of-the-god-sector-h-2070-yan-di-zhuxiang-deluxe-version-model-kit_p5791.html
>>22956145never stop the cop
>>22956147As far as Chinese kits go, this one's not that egregious (with the exception of that sword). They still need to stop copying the Gundam aesthetic though.
I wish they would make more girlpla from actual shows like the figure rise standard. I like making girpla more than just buying figs. It’d be cool to see the code geass baddies, kill la kill baddies, fate and tsukihime baddies all have model kits.
Finally fixed my barbatos lupus
>gunprimer raser origindo i need this?
>>22956152what's wrong with the sword?
>>22956159What exactly is supposed to be fixed here?
>>22956161Yes. I got one and it significantly reduced the amount of time spent sanding nubs. Like I go through kits super fast now
>>22956163His shit taste for getting ibortion kit
>>22956166There's plenty of good IBO designs, just not barbacringe
>>22956167What are some good ibo designs
>>22956167I just wanted to fix all his problems.Floppy joins, arms that could bend over 90°, side skirts that stopped leg movement.... So many thing so fix on ibo to make it stable and poseable.Not i can start on astaroth
>>22956169Hyakuren, Gusion, Sigrun, Oltlinde
>>22956177What about vidar
>>22956174>astarothEnjoy those stickers bro.
>>22956180no
>>22956180Vidar is alright yeah. There's a lot of them I don't mind but aren't crazy about. I think there's more good than bad in IBO.
>>22956181Who uses the stickers on an hg?
>>22956185I used to not really care for vidar but the mg looks so sexy. I think it looks way better in 3d all greebled up
>>22956145Maybe you should start working through your backlog instead of just constantly buying things?
>>22956136never mind i've had a couple of drinks and misread hobbylobby as hobbylink. im retard>>22956137see above, it's in my private warehouse
They will start pushing orders out in December right? RIGHT?! The wait is driving me mad.
>>22956192I can’t ever get myself to work on my kits. I just like to sit on my computer and buy stuff and not have to put effort into it.
>>22956145It's better to rent out a storage warehouse and then stocking up on most of the PB kits.
>>22956174>the nub marks>no panel lining >no color correction eitherNo, you cannot start the astaroth
>>22956192it's hard when at least 1 good thing comes out each month, usually more, and it takes me that long to build and paint a kit. non-bandai companies have form for not reprinting shit for literally 10 years and i don't feel like paying scalper prices in a few years
>>22956218He was a cheap kit so i could see if he could be fixed or if they would all stay floppy, i have another lupus for when shit get real. Didnt want to even start another ibo until i could hold him like pic and his weapons didnt fold him backwardd
Anyone know where I can get some PG hands, specifically for the the MK 2? Found one used and almost complete, but one hand is missing a thumb.
Does anyone else always buy the mg version of a design if there exists both mg and hg of it? I have never chosen a hg version over a mg version unless the mg is super old and sucks balls and the hg is new and nice. The hgs always kinda feel like inferior products.
>>22955259My first go at trying to sculpt with putty is underway, making Sleeves for that custom Marasai I've been working on
>>22956248I prefer MGs so yes.
>>22956248Depends on the kit. If I enjoy a design usually buy the HG first then work my way up. However if the MG has issues (pricing, availability, engineering, etc) that could take more effort to justify the cost I bide my time.
>>22956257You need to smooth it out a lot. It's a fine start, but sanding and scraping are your best friends for getting sharp details
>>22956268Yeah I'm letting it cure a little. I'm gonna try and not have suicidal thoughts when I do the left arm and it inevitably isn't perfectly symmetrical
>>22956248MG over HG always. Not always vs RG though.
>>22955918you missed the small window they reprinted the NT stuff to coincide with the Ver Ka releases.
>>22956233IBO Gundam is the living proof of how Gundamfags are gonna defend Bandai no matter how garbage the kits can be.
>>22956287But most people talk shit about IBO gundams, what are you talking about?
>>22956287Still better than five slop stories which is chink tier quality
>>22955840It is very obvious that both Aerial and Calibarn are supposed to look female. However, the masculine mesomorph upper torso is just repulsive to look at. That proportion should be for Vthor, a masculine mech.
rx-78-2. now that's a masculine design. just look at that barrel chest and wide shoulders
>>22956248Depends. I'll usually go MG over HG but sometimes I prefer the look of the RG and sometimes I think certain kits look better at 1/144 like Unicorn.
>>22956303
>>22956192Kita
>>22956309Now do it, but with Bulkarm Alpha
>>22956303Pretty good, but i argue that it can be much manlier.
>>22956192Always Be Buying.
>>22956192My money today is worth less than my money a month from now. There is no reason to wait to get my backlog down before buying new kits other than looking like less of a hoarder.
Is there a specific kind of material I should be looking for when buying bottles to pre-mix lacquers in? Or will anything be fine?
>>22955918I have 3 of them. But they're all for me. Not even scalping them.
>>22955998try 16-18 psi, closer to the model
>>22956340sex with roux
>>22956337polypropylene (pp)
>>22956248No
Time to spend another $300 on backlog kino that I probably won’t build

Where can I buy custom resin parts for megami device?
>>22956392>>22955549
>>22956311i kinda want a bulkarm but i feel like it needs a governorwhat's a good governor chick? is it hard to make a governor face look good?
>see a PBandai Hyaku Shiki Kai at a local store with little mark-up price ($5 markup from JP price)>got interested in buying it to set myself a goal to make a FA Hyaku Shiki Kai out of it.>remember that there is a Daban Hyaku Shiki Kai, and decided to buy that instead for practice or in case i fucked up customizing it>the Daban Hyaku Shiki Kai isn't actually a Hyaku Shiki Kai, but a MPT Hyaku Shiki Kia>go back to local store to get the PBandai Hyaku Shiki Kai>someone just bought it before meOh well I guess its ok since the Daban has a Hyper Mega Launcher included..... also the Hyaku Shiki 1.0 proportions are starting to grow on me, the 2.0 is kinda too lanky. I wish Bandai still reprints old and outdated kits that has 2.0, I mean I would buy some old MG kits as custom and scrap parts for kitbashing
>>22956399You can wait for the new chicks Koto is making. If you want something decent atm, buy this one.
Finished the build on my RG Sazabi. I like the colour seperation on the plastic and there are no visible nub marks so I'm just going to coat > panelline > waterslide > topcoat it.Everything below the waist has topcoat + panel lines but I ran out of spray so I can't do the tophalf yet.
>>22956427is 1/24 a common scale for articulated human kits? might look at other less pricy brands
>>22956399get a handscale fag, they're about the same size as a governor
>>22956444what did you call me?
>>22956444>>22956399
>>22956435You won't find anything similar. Most companies either make 20cm tall human kit or just microscopic non articulate soldiers.
>>22956447i called you a frame arms girl
>>22956435>>22956451number 57 has this armored puppet yui among a couple others
>>22956448
>>22956460>>22956448hm that's niceinb4 they're somehow more expensive that the regular frame arm girls
>>22956453Can they actually sit down? Because thats mandatory for Hexa gear's cockpit chair.
>>22956462They are actually in similar price to Governor.
>>22956464not sure, but they seem pretty well-articulated to me
>>22956466damn i can't find one i like but they do look better than the govs>>22956453interesting
>>22956471That's rather subjective. Governors have alot more interesting designs compares to FAG
>>22956479*girl govsyeah the guys and helmeted units look nice
>wanted to go pick up Master Gundam tomorrow>somehow sold out within the dayMan...
>>22956485Yeah i can see why most of them are not people's cup of tea. They lean to a more realistic looks rather than anime, but the newer ones in development seems better.
>>22955259Where's the new poll at?
>>22956399If you want a Bulkarm, wait for Wolfzarg, Wolfzerker or whatever his name is. Looks pretty badass and can be presentable enough with some panel lining.
>>22956495my poll in ur ass
Anons is the HG Aerial a fun build to snapshit, I was going to pick up Master Gundam tomorrow but it's sold out and I'm bummed out. I'd only be saving $1-2 with the sale but I might have to make the trip for something else anyway.
>>22956509The stickers are rather frustrating. If you want an all out snapshit just to relax and having a fun time, pick RG Hi Nu. You just have to snap and nothing else, it would still look good OOB.
>>22956514N-no anon I just wanted a cheap $20-25 to pick up on sale, I don't have that much money. But the warning about the stickers is very important and appreciated, and I'll keep the Hi Nu in mind the next time I go shop for an RG. I would have picked up the Crossbone but it's also out of stock.
>>22956509It’s a good little kit. All the witch hgs are pretty high quality
>>22956524I would argue that they are only high quality OOB. After a month or two, they degrade pretty fast.
Which one of these is the best standalone? I haven't touched 30MM at all.>>22956524I'll keep that in mind for the other WfM kits as I become familiar with the show, thank you. On a side-note, was there a prevalent issue with the HG IBO kits, and how cripplingly bad were they? I know the Barbados and Lupus are cheap for good reason, but I can't remember if the issues were unfixably bad.Was hoping to pick up the Michaelis for dirt-cheap but I don't think we ever saw those prices here.
Strongest Paint Virgin - Weakest Snap Chad
>>22956530Buy Spinatio Army type. It is a good kit and has a set of open hands included. Also, green grunt is kino.
>>22956530Honestly 30mms are a bit frustrating to snapbuildDon't have much going on obviously and a bit floppyOnly go for it if you plan on kitbashing or doing more work on it, OOB they're very dry
>>22956507Seriously though, voting closed on Tuesday, it's Thursday now. Where's the poll for the next groupbuild
>>22956537They are like the middleground between snapfit and scalemodel. I think OOB, they look ok, but only through painting they can reach the full potential.
>>22956536I do like me some grunts, but that does remind me that I don't have any Doms>see some 30MM girls I forgot existed>remember 30MF knights are sold out>there's an SD Barbatos Lupus that I have to look intoAll these options are beginning to piss me off, I just wanted Master Gundam>>22956537Are they really, I thought I saw them praised quite a few times. The only reason I held back on 30MM and 30MS is because>have to buy more parts to make things more fun>have to buy at least some figure to begin with but they're all potentially good>can't just pick an exact figure and design I like, since the customizing aspect means the perfect one is in my head and I have to throw money trying to figure it out
>>22956392many individual sellers make them and sell on BOOTH.muscuto has their most recent stuff only on booth and not the website https://muscutoy.booth.pm/, for example this puni mofu chest part set https://muscutoy.booth.pm/items/6244377kojirusi is another who makes a lot of stuff https://koijirusi.booth.pm/there are more people that sell one or two things, idk where all the links areyou might need a forwarder to order outside of japan
Why Bandai haven't make 1/144 FAZZ?
>>22956544It is such a misconception that you have to customize 30MM. That's just an option. Alot of 30MM look perfectly fine as a standalone. Customization while fun, it is not mandatory. You can just snapfit any retail 30MM robots and call it a day. Repaint them if you want to.
>>22956545I appreciate it anon. Looking forward to making some boobagirls with resin parts. Some of the girls are just a bit too small for my tastes
>>22956444handscale gourai might be cute to pose alongside the grande verision
>>22956547They did
>>22956537If you want actual dry kits, just snap build GM Spartan. It is literally just a green blob. This is why it is such a popular paint fodder.
>>22956530>best standalonethere's almost 0 reason to buy 30mm kits standalone, they are pretty bare bones compared to hgs and designed for you to mash kits together.
>>22956553if you're truly degenerate you can check the parts on https://bonnoutei.booth.pm/ as well, they make some yuge ones
>>22956548Standalone, they look right at the crux between "endearing grunts, potential heroes" and "too generic for me to somehow give an entire backstory and characterization for", I think the in-hand fun value would tip the scale, but again>have to buy it in order to know if it's good>>22956559W-well
What are some cool places to look/creators to follow if I wanna see nice builds? I don't wanna sift through pages of low-effort snapshit on r*ddit and instagram. Plus points for bishoujo plamo.
>>22956559Nah, they look better as standalone. I'm waiting for this bad boy.
>>22956564AWOOOOOGADamn this is great thanks
>>22956565I mean, they are fine quality-wise. They don't have much color separation going on but then again, just paint.
>>22956570>then again, just paint.Maybe one day, anon
>>22956571I feel like Hexa Gear and 30MM are true /m/ filter kits lol.
>>22956572>Hexa GearI love it.
does this general always move this fast or is it because it's a holiday week/weekend?
>>22956583No it’s because I started posting here again after a hiatus
>>22956572Oh I haven't even looked into Hexa at all yet
>>22956580Post Agnirage
>>22956584You should go back to not posting again.
>>22956605No. I don’t think I will.
>>22956287>>22956290IBO and FSS are both better than you basic ass starbucks tier Zaku you tasteless pedestrian
>>22956527>After a month or two, they degrade pretty fast.I've built the majority of the HG WfM line and none of them have had any issues at all and they're all over a year old at this stage. Maybe the air in whatever 3rd world country you live in is degrading everything.
>>22956248I feel the opposite. I only buy MG if I have no choice. HGs look closer to the original design typically, MGs usually fuck up the proportions and add unnecessary greeble
Zacu with American color scheme goes hard
>>22956611Calmdown, Gwitch anon. I haven't insult your poopwound yet.
My store just got a dozen harupla shelfwarmers!!!!!!! :DDD I hope it takes up valuable space like the AMAIMslop boxes!!!
>>229566265 years from now, Kyokai Senki HGs will cost 400 dollars per box due to rarity and scalping.
>>22956638And nobody will buy them because everyone will have forgotten about that trash show
>>22956615This looks extremely jarring for some reason.
>>22956640>trash showThat's 99% of Banrise's mecha anime, especially Gundam.
>>22956638I got the fm mailes kenbu recently for under half the Japanese retail price. I like the industrial designs of the units but it's insane that they're still printing these kits every month when Japanese stores are regularly selling them at highly discounted prices. There's an entire corner of them in my local hobby store which I don't think has ever changed. At what point do retailers just say, no thank you.
>>22956615That's no zaku, anon, no zaku.

>>22957011you belong in the loony bin
>>22957007MG looks closer to the lineart. Narrative supposed to have some bolts on its armor, not silky smooth.
>>22957023they are there on the HG too, just not parts separated
>>22957024MG still has sharper mold. It is quite an upgrade.

>>22956548This guy is a good base for a Super Robot type. Maybe remove the lower legs and forearms but he's got a good build.
>>22957100Eh I'd rather have some polycaps than a mess of c-clip joints that falls apart after 20 minutes
>>2295654430mm are good kits and i love them, but if you're looking for a satisfying snapbuild they're underwhelming is all i'm sayingI just snapbuilt an lfrith ur which is probably the blandest wfm kit and it was still more fulfilling than the last 2 30mm i did, more defined aesthetics, articulations feel more solid etcBut again i'm speaking strictly snapbuild
>>22957109yeah that's fair though they're not really for the same partsI just prefer hard ball joints
>>22956759No anon, literally no non ver.ka kits since 2010. Don't look it up either. Any information you find will be fake.
>>22957112Early stuff like Alto and Portanova are barebones, but a lot of newer releases have more parts. Baskyotto took me about 1 hour.

Apologies for the delay in getting the results in, was helping prep Thanksgiving dinner yesterday (Mashing potatoes, etc). Here are the results! As always, congrats to everyone who entered a build. In the meantime, I gotta go prepare the next theme poll, so if you have any last minute themes you wanna see, now's the time to reply
>>22957150and i can't know which one they chose?
>>22957162the cheapest one
How likely is used stuff from Suruga-ya to be missing pieces? I'm thinking of placing my first order with them.
>>22957175it would say if there was anything wrong
>>22957177Alright, I'm holding you responsible if it's missing a runner.
>>22957162they always go with the cheapest one they can get away with

Voting for the 26th Group Build theme is underway! https://forms.gle/ZwyUzy8z5VoQNzaG6A few notes:>Before I used to try to incorporate as many themes as possible, but going forward I'm going to be more favorable to more open themes (ie: Super Robot) versus more restrictive ones (ie: Five Star Stories). It opens things up more to interpretationand I'd rather have more rules that say you can do X over rules that say you can't do Y.>Melee is back! The 3rd ever Groupbuild theme returns, since I figured that there'd be no issue redoing a theme that was last done over 7 years ago. Going forward any theme that we did more than 5 years ago is fair game to redo.>I considered merging the three Car-related builds together, but then I figured it'd just be easier to include the Scale model theme (making it open to more than just cars)To accommodate for the long weekend, you'll have the next three days to narrow down the themes. As always, you can vote for as many themes as you'd like, but only the top 5 make it into the final round of voting!
>>22957229Uhhh groupbuild dude? Where’s the shitpost groupbuild?
>>22956053sorry for the late reply, as other anons mentioned the brand I got was Flaming Snow, the logo (obviously) is a flaming snowflake. 1 sheet ran me like 3 bucks whereas a sheet of G-reworks is like 12-15.
>>22957109>>22957109the better compromise is polycap-like parts made from KPS. kits like ZZ ver Ka already does that.
>>22957046>polycapsoh praise the Lord, gunpla is saved and nature is healing
>>22957298most bandai kits seem to do this nowadays. weird that they put polycaps in that one, it's looked like they'd been trying to phase out polycaps for years now
>>22957175I've ordered a lot from them and I've never had a problem other than a box being worse for wear.Mandarake, however, has sent me stuff where the packaging was blatantly opened and pieces were clipped off of runners without any kind of disclosure and then only offered me a 500 yen refund.
>>22957229>Mahou shoujo not thereOkay fuck me I guess.
>>22957324if super robot or 30ms wins you can still do it
>>22957308Guess it depends on the mold? Recent HGs like the AOZ Hi-zack and some Seed freedom kits have gone back to using them in places. The Bolinoak in particular is a hefty boy with a lot of moving parts so I somewhat understand
>>22957344>all that yellow is stickerswhat the fuuuuuu
>>22957175Actually, never mind. I'm going to go for a more modern kit instead. The newer ones have nicer proportions.
>>22957348Just paint. The stickers are for the snapfriends
>>22957348at least it's only the yellow markingsred parts are all color separated
>>22957344I will buy this because I want a Palace Athene/The-O revive. I know Bandai will reward a slop lover like me.
>>22957385They don't need a revive
>>22957385Bro Bandai comes out with like 2 kits a year now. They aren’t coming out with hg revives of shelf warmers when they already have kits. You will get more hg seedslop and you will like it
>>22957398>Bro, Bandai comes out with 2 kits a year, they would never release a kit of a literal who rando suit from a 50 year old show like the Bolinoak Sammahn

Hey bros my Gunleon preorder from HLJ became Backordered.Anyone had this before?
>>22957435No. Just cancel it if it does that, fuck hobbylink jews
RAF Ocean Gray 2 is my favorite fucking tamiya paint. Mixing it with anything makes the end result look a lot better. Fucking love it.
>>22957435is that a bandai kit?bandai kits on hlj are backorders rather than preorders. they stop taking orders when they sell out of any other brandnext time take note of the product description on bandai kits:>Please note that the first release of this item may be limited, and in some cases it may not be possible to fill all orders at the time of its initial release.

>>22957344I wanna turn this boy into a Space Marine
>>22957450yeah that's not contrary to anything i said though
>>22957453no cares about ZZ compared to Zeta bronow that the entire Zeta lineup has a HGUC available for it they might just go ahead and retire the line entirely
>>22957455You were a little confused so I just clarified for you
>>22957459no i wasn't, i might have worded it badly though. preorders for bandai kits on hlj get put straight into a backorder queue unlike every other brand where they change the status to "order stop" when they sell out and don't usually go on backorder. they say preorder but they're essentially backorders because if you don't preorder early enough you're just in the backorder queue and they don't tell you about it
anyone got the bootleg F90?or are you all motherfuckers dead
>>22957469i only got bootleg spartan and 2 gto gms
>>22957471>2 gto gmsooooh which ones
>>22957469I bought it but I'm still waiting for that nice crumpled bow to come inno reports of people dropping dead yet so it's likely safe to build
>>22957473Moroccan and Shoulder Cannon/Missle PodI've only built Moroccan so far. It's ok, had to sand a few joints a little bit, but overall the build was fine. What really sucks about it is the plastic, its abs and panel lining it sucks, much harder to clean up compared to ps plastic.Oh and his gun holding hands kinda struggle with the scoped rifle, the other rifle holds fine.I got no waterslides with the morrocan one, but missile one had them, both were without boxes.
>>22957482damn bro just get some panel line accent color
>>22957485i got the gundam marker pour typewhat i mean is the paint sticks to abs harder or something, its hard to rub it off
>>22957458>retire the lineNope, not even close.
>>22957501I think someone replied to me with that exact same cope when I said the Re/100 line was being put to pasture after the Shokew came out
>>22957502you'll see when they release the re100 msa-120 in 2026i remote viewed it
>>22957505I thought you paid a remote viewer
>>22957508that was a different anon
>>22957161Congrats grimzogok anon on the win, and to all the other entrants. Looking forward to the next groupbuild (vote vintage or else)
>>22957229>going forward I'm going to be more favorable to more open themes versus more restrictive onesso you're going to add shitpost next time right? that's very open
I wish the old pre-grade kits were more accessible. They look fun.
>>22957578I don’t. They look like complete junk.
>>22957580But that's why I want them. I want to see where I can go with them despite the dated engineering and wacky proportions.
this is the type of robot man cute modeler womanlets want
I'm starting my own shitpost groupbuild, and I'll give the winner a kit from my backlog
>>22957582nice robot man but he needs at least 3 more katanas
>>22957582can confirm, would press my hand against that bulge
>>22957588this event led to the /gpg/ 100 years global war
>>22957588which kit
>>22957582they have good taste
>>22957093sex
>>22957093me
>>22956671Yes she is very cute
>>22957599Uhhh idk rg Epyon or something
>>22957588I emailed group build dude about reinstating the prize system but he wasn't interested
>>22957581Every time I've seen someone get an old no-grade kit to work on, they've come away from it saying they regret it and massively underestimated the work needed to get it looking decent. Most of the time they don't even come out looking that great either. This guy did an excellent job though: twitter.com/gunpla_enthusia/status/1755994865383731693
any ideas for painting verka gundam ball inner frame that's not just putting gaudy bright clashing metallics next to each other?
>>22957614put gaudy bright clashing metallics next to each other
>>22957612There's like so many cool suits that don't have a modern kit tho. I'm okay with fighting my way to have a 1/144 Fazz or Devil Gundam on my shelf for example, even if it means straight up masochism on my behalf
>>22957614pastel colors
>>22957614use gaudy bright clashing metallics but put some thought into them. for example, im using gold for heat exhausts and such because of its superior thermal conductivity
>>22957614Look at real life balls for inspiration
>>22957610Maybe I'd leave it to winner's choice in this shitposty hypothetical
>>22957614Use that purple gray color zeta uses for inner frames and use a metallic orange for accents.
>>22957628>it's ALL shitkek
>>22957628I want the amaim kit
>>22957628Tempted to enter for the Jehuty or the Mechanics Model
>>22957632What DO you like?
>>2295763800 and AGE
>>22957638Not him but I like the Jesta and the Dijeh.
>>22957639>calls a huge, varied backlog "shit">only likes actual trash
>>22957628>3x rhino beetle busts kiti demand you snap this immediately
>>22957628I always knew you wouldn't build that Jesta
>>22957628You should build the Nyuren, it's cool.
>>22957628Oh! Oh! I want the yellow mystery box!
>>22957648>sprues in a generic unbranded cardboard shipping boxthat's how you know you're getting chinese cinema
>>22957645Did you even know I had it until I posted that picture?
>>22957625i feel like it's exactly the overuse of gold and super bright accent colors that i don't like>>22957631i kinda like this idea though
>>22957626real ones are pretty boring inside
>>22957648It's a Chinese knockoff fuunsaiki a friend gifted me, not available!>>22957644Unfortunately I don't think you can build all 3 busts at once. You've got 3 options for how to build the head on the beetle and also one stand for a second head, but no way to display the third head I believe.
>>22957588Can you define the rules for a shitpost gropubuild?
>>22957681No
>>22957666if it were me i'd use silver where the gold is and do what's silver in more of a dark iron or steel colour. gold is tacky when there's a lot of it, but it looks great if you use it to detail some small parts here and there. for the other colours i'd use non-metallics
Was the original HG Silver Bullet retail?
>>22957693yes
>>22957686imo gold is best on things that look like vents, heatsinks, or tiny connections and cables of some kind and not as a "structural" part if that makes sense
>>22957667>thruster clusterneat
>>22957681When you see a shitpost build you just know
>>22957694Thanks, looks like its much more harder to find than the Gael Chan version.
>>22957693yeah but there's also the p-b Gael Chan version with different shoulders, sliiiightly different colors and blue beam sabers
>>22957702I really love this design, now im contemplating whether to get another gael chan and paint it to the original pinkish colour.
>>22957667What about sea balls?
>>22957639Based ebikawachad
ver. gyob.
>>22957725ver. kino
>>22957702>Bandai keeps making and reprinting Silver Bullets>No Doven Wolf reprints for years despite the Silver Bullet being a parts variant of the Doven Wolf
>>22957729>Bandai keeps making and reprinting Silver Bulletsanon it's been like 8 years since the last one, and probably like 5 since the reprint
>>22957686>if it were me i'd use silver where the gold is and do what's silver in more of a dark iron or steel colouryeah i agree with that. if i use metallics i'll probably try to keep them pretty dark and "subtle". now i just need to get to painting it.... soon
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRbN5JCrtvYthat's a big box for a hg
>>22957730Anon, Silver Bullet variants have been up on P Bandai three times this year and it and the Suppressor got reprinted last year.
Hg murasame Kai is in stock now
>V2 up for sale on pbandai AGAIN>now going on 11-12 years of the V1 or VDash being only available for 300 dollars from scalpersfuck these cunts at bandai.
>>22957734He's a big guy
>>22956047The real question is why the calibarn doesn't have a big witch hat radome.
>>22957699anything from aozlop
>>22957749only good shows have EWAC mechs
>>22957757You mean kinAoZ
>>22957761Metal Armor Dragonar mechs are so kino
>>22957739And I didnt get one suppressor.
>>22957681just longsnap anythingor build any >ergs kit
>>22957729Doven Wolf is getting a reprint soon
>>22957745>Get V Dash, realise you only want it for its weapons.Grim.
>>22957797You mean a revive mg?
>>22957800Yes. Mg doven woof
>>22957798I like the Victory 1 over the Victory 2.
>>22957806Well that’s what you get for being a contrarian. Not having your shit reprinted. V2chads, we eating good tonite
>>22957813haha yeah, I'm definitely saying this with a V2 on my shelf ;D
>>22957745got my V2AB from surugay and won an auction on ebay for a V1+core booster hehe. subscribe to my blog
>>22957815Yeah nah I’m just joshing you. I actually like v dash better than v2. The simplicity of the og v looks really sharp
>>22957813Fuck you too.
>>22957112I'm thankful for the responsesI'll think about 30MMs and 30MSes some more, but meanwhile I ended up picking up the HG Dom because I've never seen it that cheapHope it doesn't suck ass
My first Gunpla.How did I do?
can I reactivate dried paint? the one time I need black tamiya paint, I found out I didn't seal it tight and all of it dried up. I just came back from the hobby shop too, fucking hell
>>22957800No, the HGUC.
>>22957847Nice Zaku
>>22957847Netflix Gouf when?
>>22957880Netflix Zaku I when?
>>22957892you know what, im going to commit, pandas next build day is dec 7 and i have 3 gundam kits that i have to snap that i can do over there
>>22957892The Gouf looked good ngl.
>Armored core gets a super high quality feature episode.I honestly have no clue why Bandai keeps fumbling around with having a fully realised 3D gundam series even with their nigh infinite budget.
>>22957898>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo9rA047XwEForgot to link.
>>22957894I'm gonna go too, maybe.
>>22957899wait... Armored Core is wholesome chungus now? freaking sweet.
>>22957899Bandai is probably thinking who gives a shit about 3d when the anime do amazing already.This is Armored Core's first stab at media outside the games/niche manga, and you need to make a good impression tp establish a foothold and get enough cultural cachet to sell plastic and games for the next decade.
>>22957902Well Sony is about to buy Fromsoftware so i don't think Bandai is gonna profit much from AC. They can still have modelkit and action figure liscences, but that's it.
>>22957901Is gundam wholesome chungus?
>>22957734>that blank soulless stare
>>22957734The boomer seems mildly interested while the girl seems like she is about to kill herself.
>>22957906Gundam is literally just reddit tier franchise.
>>22957898You have to remember it's a bunch of Jap boomers with little concern for consumer feedback, cheap as fuck, and wanting to maximize profits. All the past failed Gundam projects is proof of this.
>>22957734I can imagine this fat old guy smoking a cigar, naked, and the chick here is sucking him off.
>>22957909>mildly interestedthat's the ceo iirc
>>22957903>Well Sony is about to buy Fromsoftwareit'd be really funny that despite all that, fromsoft just opts out and goes indie before the sale
>>22957903I am still wondering how the shit it will go down. That is a lot of IPs that are tied to other companies. Its going to be a legal shitshow for sure. At least Tencent/Kakao isn't getting Kadokawa anytime soon.
>>22957734why does she look like she's being forced to be there
>>22957917She is just another girl being hired to say " sugoi kawaii" for the company's representation of the product.
>>22957911Jap boomers are both the worst and best thing for Gundam. They hold back the stupid shit while creating more stupid shit.
>>22957915It is gonna be another tragedy of once great game studio got cannibalized by a megacorporation. But i don't really care if Fromsoft's games are gonna be shittier than they already were, i just hope Sony won't gatekeep the merchandise liscencing.
>>22957917>>22957907>>22957909>>22957912I hate women
>>22957926nobody gives a fuck
>>22957933Except for you. Thanks for being the only one anon.
>>22957926I care
>>22957926This is a woman thread.
ive literally turned into fucking chris chan, i just have a part time job and after spending money on my car and phone fees, I buy toys
>>22957953Even though Chris Chan commited incestous rape, i still not agree with what faggots on CWCki did to him. It is such a petty bullying over literally nothing, as if he is the only insane guy with mental illness in the world.
>>22957892do you seriously have nothing better to do with your life than make this retarded shit lmao
>>22957953This sounds like those retards that are like "I read a book! I'm such a nerd!" Burn your house down, drink your cum, and rape your mom. Then you'll be Chris Chan.
do nips have to pay double the westerners prices for warhammer?
>>22957989That sounds tame honestly. I have heard worse.
I'm curious, how old are you and when did you get into Gunpla? I'm 27 and last year
>>22958003datamining post
>>22958004hey guys, its me, john Bandai. To help further develop Gunpla, we need to know your moms maiden name
>>22958004Datamining doesn't work too well if you feed it bad information.
I found an rg 00 raiser at the local hobby shop that was marked down pretty good, was thinking about picking one up but I wanted to know first if it suffers from early rg syndrome?
>>2295800362 and just last week
>>22957611IDK, the logistics of giving one person's address to another person just didn't settle well with me. I itried the prize thing very early on in the Groupbuilds but it didn't flow to well.
>>2295800323, started when I was 16 or so since that's when I got into Gundam.
>>22958003342000 or something
>>22956174Details on the articulation mod please.
MGSD 00 QanT Full Saber when??
>>22958015>Youngest tank model builder
>>2295800329, had built gunpla before as a kid a few times, but didn't really get into it until 13
Koto just reprinted White Glint with that backpack from the trailer.
>>22958003Also 27 and only because my wife bought me a kit after I avoided them for so long. Turns out they are baby easy. Thanks, Jonathan Bandai! Gunpla really IS for everyone!
>>22958083Yeah they announced it a while ago. It was up for pre-order on HLJ for a few weeks before selling out
>>2295800333. Been into mecha anime since I was a kid but didn't start building/painting models until 2009. I haven't painted anything in a few years though I'm too depressed
I am no longer asking politelyReprint the MG V Dash Bandai
>>2295800322, been interested in Mecha since I was a kid and dad showed me the old MechWarrior games (MechWarrior 4 Mercs is still kino). I only got into Mecha models about 2 or 3 years ago, tho
This crap looks so offensively ugly. Who even asked for this?
>>22958115Me. Looks better than your gay ass Strike Gundam, Unicorn and whatever flavorless slop you slurp
>>22958115Me.
>>22958115Ben ten looking mfer
>>22958115ben ten fans
>>22958115Isn't the top of the head supposed to be a clear part? I like the proportions but the 80's green color could be painted with something better looking.
>>22958140it has a sticker to put on it. the yellow parts are also stickers for the snapfriends.
>>22958140It has 2 optional parts.
>>22958029What if they sent the gift to you, and you sent it to the winner and also if you added shitpost to the poll what if that
>>22958144No, it has 2 heads, depending on the builder's taste. While this is nice, again, who asked for this shit?
>>22958148what if we just declare independence from groupbuild dude and start our own shitposter's groupbuild? we don't need this fag.
>>22958151Bro it has basically no gimmicks. It's neat. They had to do something, and they needed to release it since it's an important character's MS and one of the last machines from Z Gundam to be represented. Basically I asked, I care.
>>22958151Me.
>>22958156>one of the last machines from Z Gundam to be represented.Bandai could have made revive HG The O. But then again, it seems like it is the upcomming plan now.
>>22958160All the Z kits are alright. A couple could be better but none of them are truly dogshit and can more or less represent most of what the machines do fine. The one most in need of an update is honestly the Psyco Gundam. It's a piece of shit frankly.
>>22958165The only thing Bandai should update is HG Shokew, because it doesn't exist.
>>22958115>so offensively uglyWelcome to Gryps era MS in general.
>>22958160>seems like it is the upcoming plan now.Just like the Dom, Gelgoog, and Zaku 1 on the revive Zaku 2 box huh? Revives any day now.
>>22958168Most of the smaller HGs aren't too great but Second V really improved on the Victory so I wouldn't mind them putting out more F91/V HGs now. Big shame there've been no more Zanscare RE100s either.
>>22958175those are coming too tho
>>22958160>revive HG The Owhat a fucking waste. just us Neo Geo or The O II Hauser
>>22955259Scribing some details to my gael chan.
>>22958178Source?
>>22958190if revives of the o and palace athene are coming because they're on the box, then logically that implies revives of the gelgoog dom and zaku 1 are coming too because theyre also on the box
>>22958194>are comingHow do you know? Where's your proof? Being on the box means nothing without official confirmation/announcement. Having a feeling doesn't count either.
>>22958003I was like 8 years old. My dad bought me the shitty ass ancient Gundam Leopard kit, then I got hooked onto SD Gundam kits until high school.
Dude I fucking love generic gundams. Strike, Age-1, Impulse, and V are my favorites. Don't care for all the flashy gaudy designs with all the bells and whistles. Just like the good old fashioned gundam look.
>>22958090I wish I had a wife who supported my hobbies
>>22958012Early rg syndrome is a meme unless you treat it like a toy. It's a model kit, just pick it up, build it, put it in a cool pose and leave it on the shelf. The early rgs are cheap af anyways so why not just get it
>>22958115This goof troop just needs a little bit of good green paintjob.
>>22958218This is probably why Grandad is still my favorite all time design
>>22958209At this point we are relying more on our cope and feels. Theres no reliable Bandai leaks or anything.
>>22958229there was the chinks that leaked and got some things right and said wed also get mgexia and pgu nu some day
>>22958218This but specifically Sword Impulse.
>>22958228https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF-xdiL7Nr0
>>22958230>PG Nu and PG Hi Nu>PG Sazabi tooEasiest slamdunk that they have but just wont do it.
>>22958237pg sazabi sounds like pure sex. that would be so fucking cool
>>22958223I still remember how Gaikotsu seethe so hard about that old White Glint kit and claim primer can't stick on it or some shit. It is hard to take anything that guy said seriously and even the a modeler in his vid seems to be several different people he hired.
>>22958242MG Sazabi is already gigantic enough. It doesn't need PG because that would be a waste of space.
>>22958254you're a waste of space
>>22958256Of your mom's bed.
Are the people with the old body going to buy her again?
>>22958268yes
>>22958254No one complained when the HG Neo Zeong was made. PG Sazabi would probably be only half its size.
>>22958276I complained.
>>22958279Thats because ur gay.
>>22958276Very little people care about Neo Zeong. It is such a silly baby toy due to its size alone, crossed the line from delicate modelkit to dumb teddy bear tier toy.
Bros am I getting the RE100 GP04?
>>22958309yes you are. go gettem champ
>>22958312Sometimes I like how it looks but then some parts of it look really cheap and ass, like the under side of the skirts & shield.
>>22958316idk ask the thightranny, he just made one
I spent a hundred twenty euro dollar on a REEEEEEEEE 100 hamma hamma that's sitting in my backlog
>>22958256I love Sazabi, but the MG can barely move, a PG would be a literal statue. There really is no point
>>22958318I need to decide now since I'm buying a shitload of decals from delpi while their sale is still going so I'll probably just leave it for now. Saying that, it was a long time before the recent reprint so who knows how long it'll be again before the next run.
>>22958232Lmao
>>22958294I actually like it. It showed that Bandai used to have balls to shit out a kit like that.
>>22958331Just fucking do it, not like they reprint the RE/100 line.
How are Sousai Shojo Teien model kits? I want some new face pieces to kitbash girpla with and they look pretty solid. Are they compatible with Megami Device?
>>22958359not compatible with megami device, but are compatible with megalomaria
>>22958384apparently the heads are interchangeable though right? idrgaf about the rest i just want to put the head on megami device bodies
>>22958388Yeah they come with adapters for the head.
>>22957458Still dont have most the jaburo battle ms, gm cannon. Gm sniper custom. Gouf flight type. Zaku tank. Guncannon detector. Guntank 2.
>>22958153The whole world will know of our peaceful shitposting ways, by force if necessary.
>>22958390aight bet. i think i'm gonna pick up this one. shes kinda bad. she reminds me of nagisa from my all time favorite anime strawberry panic.
>>22958397she looks more like kaname madoka to me
>>22958401yeah i saw the resemblance too. like baddie madoka
New thread when?
>>22958414we're only on page 8 dude we chillin
>>22958429ruined
>>22958429nnnngh delicious anon
>>22957848>can I reactivate dried paint?just add a bit of the appropriate thinner for the paint type
>>2295800329 and got into it a year ago through gundam vidya
>>22958429saved.
>>22958246>even the a modeler in his vid seems to be several different people he hiredAm I reading this right"content" creators just pay people to build their models?
>>22957161Mascot Anon here.Congrat on anyone who participated. Request now open for the participant. State desired creature and post new picture now shown in group build gallery to make request for mascot design.I can accept at least the first two requestIf requested by the builder, Zogok's mascot is guaranteed, regardless request order.This post will be made again in the next thread unless the mascot request is full within this thread.
>>22958003I'm in my late 30s and I've been building Gunpla since I was 10 years old. Old shitty-ass NG 1/144 kits, horrible shitty early MG kits (I still have the remnants of the original MG Zeta in my closet) and 1/100 HG kits. 1/144 HG didn't even exist when I started, and you were damned lucky if the arms on your kits could bend more than 90 degrees.
>>22958254there's already a PG-sized Sazabi, but it's a pre-constructed one that costs 4000 dollars
>>22958359they're the only line that does girlpla in casual clothing so you dont really have much of a choice. they still havent perfected clothing articulation, so JK uniforms like oversized blazers and sweaters aren't possible yet...also they're expensive as fuck compared to their Megami Device sisters.
no japan stop buying them all upppppp
>>22958492pretty sure International has a different allocation so you dont need to compete with the japs for stocks. it's very likely to get reprinted anyway
>>22958496from what I understand, especially thats going on with mao, I dont think yanks would buy either of them up but I could be wrong
>>22955602the main reason is that koto doesn't own the zoids license and therefore a percentage of the cost of each kit has to go to paying said licensing fees.also this >>22955630
How does the quality of koto kits compare to Bandai? Is it like chink tier where you have to wash parts and sand joints and do the fittings? Or is it like Bandai where you can just put it together easily? How is the engineering?
>>22958519i find koto plastic to be easier to sand than Bandai's engineering wise, their mecha kits are behind bandai's when it comes to articulation and parts seperation (koto still likes doing the "sandwich" approach), but they're far more advanced in girlpla engineering compared to Bandai's
i'm gonna bust
>>22958474>not buying the $28k 1/24 scale sazabi>>22958490your other choice is becoming a dollfag, far more casual schoolgirl clothes available in that world.of course it's also far more expensive and if you wanna engage in the hobby beyond just buying shit you've gotta learn new skills like handpainting faces or sewing clothes.
hand painting with enamel, the fumes got me going like https://youtu.be/Pb7iM4ZPzcU?si=kKAU_ds0ZHVPh5QZ&t=67
don't mind me just gonna post some pics
Fuck off with your spamming, retard. Post something you're working on at least. Theres no reason to dump random pics like a braindead moron
>>22958563Stop with this crap. You do this at the end of every thread and it's really annoying. Nobody likes it
just feel like posting something interesting instead of letting the box art spammer do their thing since it's not gonna get deleted and uh i've done this literally once before when i caught the thread at the end?
>>22958578So say that next time then, dammit. I don't like the box art spammer either but I just don't like random spamming just in general.
