==MELEE GROUPBUILD==Build/paint a robot with a loadout focused on melee combat! Anything from shields to swords to lances to axes to bare fists is fair game. There's no room for ranged weaponry here, however, so anything resembling a rifle, rocket launcher, cannon, pistol, or any other ranged weapon is a no-go (Small ranged weapons that are built into the kit itself like head vulcans are ok, however).More clarification here:>If the body part has a built-in ranged weapon (head/chest vulcans, claw beams, etc), then that's fine. If it's a separate part like the Alex's arm vulcans it's best to leave those off.>Melee weapons with in-universe ranged capabilities (Like the Kimaris's lance or the Gyan's shield) are fair game too.>Any scale, any brand, and any type of kit is fair game here. That means anything from Gundams to girlpla to miniatures are all free to use.Send your entries to gunplaplamo@gmail.com with at least 5 photos of your finished build along with any WIP photos and a description of your entry.START: 12/8/24END: 3/31/25

>>23021723Give me the hummingbird. I will buy 10.

Melee theme bros, post your WIP, I don't think I've seen a single one yet, I'm curious
>>23021745you have 3 months
>>23021766but my tummy hurts
>>23021766It was a really big meal
>>23021763primed some pieces, waiting on a kit to arrive in the mail to finish modelling the head
>>23021769Well, have a nap THEN FIRE ZE MISSILES
>>23021763>>23021774
>>23021776wondering how im going to make this gap between head and neck less noticable
>>23021780Vinyl crinkle tubing over the neck
>>23021723I wish they start doing MG SRW units so they can fill up the MG well again
>>23021780>>23021783Knit him a nice scarf
>>23021766Closer to 4 months.
>>23021780I'd personally customize the head a bit and give it a "jaw" that would cover up that region,
>>23021788no, under 3 months
>>23021789I would personally style it to a spartan helmet
>>23021780Throw in a bunch of cables like throat of KOG here.
>>23021789>>23021798>>23021799I like these ideas, I'll decide what I'll end up doing in a few days.I've got an aqua hambrabi ii coming in the mail soon and it has a small head upgrade for the barzam included with it.

>>23021723HGUC GP01 Revive, potentially with the ability to swap parts into the Full Burnern (chest, shoulders, waist, shins and feet, but shared joint parts for easy conversion). Maybe a P-Bandai GP04 with similar joints to the aforementioned GP01 Revive. I have an idea with the GP04 to kitbash the two.
>asking for p-bandai shitshameful display
Why the fuck does Bandai even bother putting dry transfers in kits. These things suck so much just give me waterslides.
>>23021848Joke's on you, Bandai's waterslides suck too.

Picked up a bootleg kit that's all ABS, aside from avoiding certain paints directly on plastic and needing different cement anything else I should know?
>>23021723RG Gerbera Tetra
This is the year that they will reprint the MG Rezel all types.
>>23021844You think they will release the original HG GP04 on retail? There's your reason.
>>23021709This dude will be the first kit I finish this year. I painted everything, I just need to put him back together and add the decals before I give him his final varnish.
>>23021924Did the paint on the whip hold ?
>>23021925Yeah. I used Finisher's multi-primer, then Born gloss black, then Gaia Prism Blue-Black then Mr. Super Clear on top. It hasn't flaked so far, but I need to handpaint the red bits on now.
>>23021751>silhouette they've shown off the actual model by nowhttps://bandai-hobby.net/item/6332/
>>23021745you're pregnant.
>>23021933Checked. Eager to see him finished
>>23021723RG master. It will happen, screencap this
>>23021849Weird how the 3rd party ones are so much better. Cheaper too
>>2302172312 MGs a year
>>23021723For stuff that's bound to happen, HG Bolt to complete the Shuffle Alliance. For crazy wishlist stuff, I want >HGUC Zaku Tank>HGUC GaZowmn>More IBO MGs to go with Vidar (At the very least Bael or Lupus Rex) >RG GaoFighGar>HG Mic Sounders XIII>HG Wildwurger>HG Valhawk>HG DaiRaiOh
>>23021949Granted, but only for a year. After that, the MG line is discontinued.
>>23021955I want a hg shadow gundam and rg master while they are making these 1/144 mobile fighters
>>23021723Remaster hgs or rgs of Victory and AoZ
>>23021973Ultimate contrarian mode
>>23021723Mg doven woof
>>23021723not gunpla but I want kotobukiya to release the muv-luv gekishin, or at least do one last rerun for some of the other ones. pretty sure the gekishin was cancelled though
>>23021723RG hygogg
>>23021957There's still that MGEX line though, if Bandai discontinues the MG line to focus on making a "BETTER" MG kit, then it's all good! although that might limit the choices for an MGEX... cause there's no way in hell Bandai would wanna waste time and resources on an "MGEX Zock"
>>23021957Great so we get 12 MGs and then we go back to the current release schedule.
https://x.com/fortresshum/status/1875061885151899846what a priest really needs
>>23021991MGEX Zock with fully retractable tentacles as gimmick is a thing i wanna see!
>>23021723NZ-666 ver Ka, but I do know it won't happen.
>>23021991Mgex is only be for the most normiecore shit imaginable like strike freedom seedslop and unicorn. At least with regular line mg we get a chance at something different.
>many p-bandai banshee norns and phenexes were harmed to make this custom.
>>23022084Or, they could have just painted and electroplated the pieces. You'd have to be goddamned stupid to blow that much money on a Phenex (even retail version) just to turn it into kitbash fodder.
>>23021723the next big bandai product line: MGAOZ, on store shelves now.
Finished up my first color correction. Lot of learning and some fuckups to avoid next time. I have no good place for pictures. Even my fridge sucks.
>>23022100Appropriate place to keep a block of cheese
>>23022100buy some fucking food
>>23021744So it turns out (to my surprise but it really shouldn't be) that if you're forced to cut the same shape out of pla plate twelve times, you get faster and better at it. Or it could just be that I decided to do these on computer desk instead of hobby desk and had something to listen to in the background which made it les mind-numbing.Anyways, all plate cutting is done, though a few of the gaps on the rounded edges will require me to dab some runner goo on the underside to fill them in so that the primer and paint will have a surface to latch on to.
>>23021707Is there an archive of thread end of the year collages somewhere?
>>23021763I've already disassembled most of it for painting but this is the last photo I have. Since it, I've added a backpack with a melee weapon, replaced the neck balljoint with another for more articulation and overhauled the right fist weapon to be bulkier. I've also scribed the head camera piece a bit and then promptly lost it, so I'll most likely have to scratchbuild a new one.
>>23022132We've only done a few so far.
>>23022084>clearly paintedYou can literally do that with a single unicorn
>>23022141
>>23022134Love the kabuki face with those expressive eyes
>>23022142duh. that's why i said "many norns and phenexes were harmed" because that guy literally bought a bunch of MG norns and phenexes just to kitbash and make that leg wing thingy
>>23021924i was about to ask which kit that was cause i checked the RG on dalong and didn't recognize it until i took a second look a bit laterdamn that frame looks good when it's painted
>unsheathe hobby knife>make shit worse
>checking my local shop>not much interesting stuff>suddenly MG Turn A>nowhere to be found X>can't be helped>guys A anyway
>>23021707fuck me im truly /gpg/s slowest builder, I build when i feel like it and i have turned into a neat freak so i hate it when i clutter my desk, I also gym alot
>>23022200>likes gym a lotShun (GBWC 2013 winner) is that you?
What are your favorite ways to paint inner frames? Direct spray of metallic, black + silver brush, got a personal method..? Trying to find inspiration for my MG Deathscythe
Why did Bandai forget about 00 and didn't even bother to give any of Graham's suits an MG or RG
>>23022143if that anon is still here, pls post the raptor and takemikazuchi pics
>>23022221the favorite Japanese way is black primer > gaianotes starbright iron if you're going for a glossy build, or Tamiya burnt iron for matte builds. don't put too much paint on the joints to not overtighten them.
>>23021723pgu ballmg ver ka g-3 saviourmg doven wolfre100 msa-120hg queen mansahg kapoolhg blood templefrs charfrs quattro bagina
>>23021857i've never had a cement that doesn't work on abs as well as ps, though i haven't used the shitty tamiya stuff that's shilled around here. you can use your lacquers on abs just fine, just don't drench it in overthinned paint. do light coats at first if you're paranoid
>>23022247>FRS vaginasometimes it makes me wonder, why hasn't anyone tried doing a boypla line? there's a huge potential in that market. i know we have Kamen Rider and the DBZ kits, but it doesn't do it for me. has to be original like the 30mm sisters or the FAGs
>>23021723>>23021761PG 00 Qan[T]PG SazabiPG Wing Gundam TV version RG F-91HGAC Endless Waltz suits MG MSF, possibly Ver. Ka
>>23022252There is. Hexagear's pilot kits, called Governor, consist of mostly male human. There are several females, too but the line is still what you are looking for, male human in power armor.

>>23022252personally as someone who likes girlpla that aren't attached to any media franchise (like koto's various lines) i would only care about male plamo from a franchise i care about. the only male plamo i have are from dragonball so far
>>23022268Ah yesMarsdownerHe is damnable invulnerable
>>23022252The new Megalomaria fellas are really nice
>>23022275>Kids are cruel, Rook. And i'm very intouch with my inner child.
>>23021659There is a third party MG. Supposedly it's pretty alright.Bandai won't make a MG of it anytime soon, I can tell you that.
Can Bandai stop with the SEED spam and make something that is not SEED or UC for once?
>>23022288god I hope someone makes a 1/144. MG is nice and all but I want it to match the rest of Graham suits and we ain't getting a 1/100 Masurao i'm afraid.
>surugaya cancelled my orderWell fuck.
>>23022311Why?
>>23022320There's some out of stock items.
my retailniggers still don't have no bolinoak
>bootleg 00 Seven Swords>costs as much or more than the aftermarket Bandai MGFor what fucking purpose Chang?
>>23022186Turn A got reprinted in november.
>>23022351looks more detailed
>>23022351looks betterit would cost twice as much from bandai
>>23022351To appeal to you snapshitters.
The JMS G-Line is not out yet, right?
>>23022363don't believe so, no. Should be soon though.
>>23022236im still here, and i'd rather not they're were like one of the last few kits where i used a knife+nippers only....>>23021707>forgot to take photos of the other batch of kits that i finished this yearits over
>>23022363>>23022370on that note neither have the black """dingo""" Spartans from effect wings, right? They announced a ton of stuff for first quarter 2025 so I'm wondering how the release timings will look
I need some tips with building this beauty. I dont want to fuck up the gold plating, whats the best way to un nub?
>>23022421Bite them off.
>>23022421isn't it all undergated?
>>23022421Do you own good nippers?
>>23022421Where did you get the gold plated one?
>>23022423I havent checked the runners, but im assuming not all is undergated.>>23022422I will bite your cock off.>>23022424Will the godkinos work?>>23022425Isnt this gold plated or did I get bamboozled.
>>23022427>Isnt this gold plated or did I get bamboozled.This doesn't answer my question.
>>23022429I thought you were being sarcastic, I got it thru my hobby shop.

>>23022446I like the aesthetic and it comes with the Kai’s head.
>>23022432>>23022452if they had spent all that money in ammo instead of gold maybe Kamille wouldn't have ended retarded
>>23022454secondary
What's the difference between third party, knockoff, and bootleg?
Is it true?
>>23022454It's not gold though it's anti-beam coating. Idk why so many people think it's gold like the metal. It's soft as fuck and would be useless as armor. You'd have to be really daft to assume the Hyaku Shiki is coated in regular gold.
>>23022464Knockoff is daban. Bootleg is like that Nilson Works notTallgeese. Third party is officially sanctioned by the original makers.
>>23022465this isn't even bait, this is dumping sawdust in a dead river
>>23022466Gold could be hypothetically good as an electromagnetic coating.
>>23021723MG or re/100 Hy-GoggMG or re/100 SUMOMg LeoHG any OZ suits (Ares, Serpent, Cancer, Taurus, Tragos, etc)RG Ground GundamEG GM
>>23022467Wait I'm sorry, sanction is not the word I wanted to use. Condoned is.
>>23022465>COVID maskReminds me, what mask should I use
>>23022466So what you're saying is that Kamille actually ended retarded
>>23022465No it fucking isn't. /gpg/ is full of dumb snapshitters who don't even paint their kits. Reddit has much better builders/painters than this shithole.
>>23022475Reddit just steals photos of other peoples stuff and when the users there actually post something they don't even clean the nubs
>>23022476coping hard i see
>>23022475Reddit is full of people who give kinda crap advice or congratulate newbies over basic straight building while being too shit to talk about even basic mods like sharpening v-fins.But at least they're actually interested in talking about gunpla while 50% of the population here is bots trying to sell you bootlegs, people obsessed with youtubers and /pol/ refugees jumping at any occasion to add their drivel into the conversation
>>23022480>They might not know how to build models well but at least they aren't mean and don't have wrong opinions
>>23022483Not what I wrote. Try again.
>>23022483it's troll hours huh
>>23022475/gpg/sisters we shouldnt let these allegations tarnish our reputation.
>>23022377Post the Nightfall please sir
>>23022486It always starts around the time California wakes up.
>>23022480This hobby in general is full of people giving bad advice, even in person at hobby stores. I remember going to buy paint and some lady was asking the worker for a can of Rustoleum primer and he said "oh no you don't wanna use that it will make your paint look rusty'I just wanted to fucking scream
funny little creatureplastic softer than expectedweapon connection pegs are a bit flimsy, probably glue in place once you settle on a specific weapon configuration
>>23022489I'm in California and I've been awake for 6 hours now. I usually wake up around gay ho- I mean European hours.

>>23022496>50 topcoated and panel lined kitsBoy you really showed me
>>23022377I understand, I'm planning to do a raptor myself sometime this year. I also want to do a redo of meiya's takemikazuchi since I did one with spray cans 3 years ago
>>23022500I painted the cow though.
>>23022496most of these are from reddit
>>23022504plot twist, retard : some of us also post on reddit
>>23022505I only post for nips on X
>>23022505yeah the best ones
>>23022505I wouldn't be so proud to admit that
>>23022509posting here is a lot more embarassing
>>23022505Last I checked he got 45 updoots.
>>23022510Admitting you post on reddit is the lowest you can possibly sink. I rank you lower than furries and trannies
>>23022514you're just admitting your own low moral character
>>23022515Except I don't post on browse reddit so I'm literally better than you and more deserving of life.
>>23022488Sure>>23022501Raptor is a fun kit, although the guns are recycled from the F-18 so have fun patching that dogshit seamline on the holo sight.
>>23022517I dont post on redit either, but what is the reason for your particular hatred for the site?
>>23022522I'm not being serious at all
>>23022522He needs something to feel superior to other people, and he can't paint or even do a clean snapshit so this is all he has to fall back on
>>23022524Interesting theory but it says more about you than anything else
>>23022525>no uliteral playground argument
>>23022512Yeah, but I got 1700 (and 1300 and 800)
>>23022523Fair enough, this question goes out to all the people that despise redit though
>>23022530It's probably because reddit mass bans people and enforces consensus, while this place encourages dissent with attention.
>>23022532lmao no
>>23022529The only updoots I need is from the second best builder in /gpg/.
>>23022534Then answer the question faggot. Use your words

>>23022473none
>>23022535Jokes on you, that's me.

tell zak and mgk vacation's over
>>23022561MGK-sama is meeting up with that loser Zak for gay sex
>>23018407To be honest, if Bellfine is targeting any Gaijin with their Goshogun and Srungle, it's going to be Europeans who got Gotriniton and Grupo Especial Gorilla aka Capitan Gorilla than Macron-1. That shit is so obscure most of it is gone forever and the version a lot of people got was just Goshogun only. Plus there's enough boomer plamo makers who remember it as the last anime Aoshima sponsored in the 80s.
>>23022521What's going to even more fun than filling that is doing the f-18 itself. I snapped it a while back because the box smelled weird but the thing is just a giant HG with seams in the most obnoxious spots possible.
I kind of want to get the RfV gundam, talk me out of it
>>23022604the upper body is basically an unarticulated brick, almost 0 torso articulationthat's basically it, that's the main downsidesame for the rfv zaku
>>23022357Some kits are hardly popping up here.
>>23022465Are you asking about /toy/ or stupid haro with rainbow colors and covid mask?
>>23022610> the main downsidewow it's literally nothingthe real main downside is it's an awful design that looks like shit
>>23022613either or both idk
>>23022604I think the hardest part of building the RfV Gundam would be having to break it to your parents that you're a homosexual
>>23022650Not if you turn it into a badass Terminator.
>>23022620>>23022650How come you aren’t allowed to like new gundam shows like wfm or rfv or gquuuuuux on /m/?
>>23022656I like WfM and I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about Gquuuuux, but it doesn't change the fact that RfV Gundam is ugly and for the gays
>>23022657To be fair wfm is also for gays.
>>23022656I don't like the ones that are just too weirdly designed to the point that it barely resembles a gundam and the only thing it has is the tricolour scheme.
>>23022661You got me there
>>23022661I am only a little bit gay
>>23022655Wow, it looks just like the mechagaikotsu mascot!
>>23022661I like WfM and I'm not gay (but my wiener is fucking BROKEN)
>>23022676What happened?
>>23022655kinda neat, as a skull lover, goddamn I really need to get a 3D printer or something, I got no talent in sculping skulls out of putty, and just make vague "skull like" faces instead for my kits, which look bad. I need to 3D print some 1/144 skull face plates.
>>23022675>0 days without mentioning mgk.
>>23022677Complications from an orchiopexy (undescended testicle surgery as a toddler) which probably explains why I'm so good at gundams. Perhaps castration is the true path to modeling enlightenment.
>>23022682Damn that’s brutal. Well that’s cool that you were able to transcend desires of the flesh and just focus on gundams. Instead of guys who build backlogs because they’re too busy gooning.
>>23021709Doing test shading, so don't hate.
Where do I get flip top bottles like these? I want to pre-thin and mix some paints for easy airbrushing.
>>23022697Looks decent anon. Try doing a little lower psi and spray closer to the parts to make the lines not as thick :)
Is this mcdonald gundam bootleg based on something bandai actually did?I'd buy it for the little moped alone if 144 scale kits could actually sit on it.
>>23022705Look like they're just plastic travel shampoo bottles from the dollar store
>>23022709There was McD RX-78-2 much like 7-11 one, but I don't think bandai version had a scooter
>>23022709McDonald’s robots are so cool. I love this and I love the McDonald’s evas
>>23022708Will do with white paint. It's harder with smaller nozzle and tired eyes.
>>23022498>>23022492Majestic Knightthe cable's outer layer keeps pulling out of the socket so i'll probably superglue it in place
>>23022728motherfucker why does it turn
Can anyone who's done the Epyon RG model tell me what the hell I'm doing wrong on step 8-3 part 3? I cannot get Epyon's top shoulder blade to snap down into the side of its shoulder blades for anything. I'm not sure the sides of its shoulder blades are fitting in perfect either.
>>23022709>Entry grade>Big>Mac>ColourIts real.
>>23022735Clean up the nub marks on the red, front/back center parts and doublecheck you haven't left any undergate on D6
man why does gorilla glue suck ass so much? or maybe my gorilla is just defective? Even after waiting a day or two for it to dry, it will still come apart, it also takes forever to go from a sticky mess to jelly state to "cured"
Lmao you guys didn’t tell me about the 4chan model kit
>>23022741That's not Danbo
>>23022738What are you trying to use it for???
>>23022737Does my D6 look okay?
>>23022738Gorilla glue isn't what you want to be using, it's for heavy duty shit and both surfaces are meant to be wetted with water before you apply the glue.
>>23022738Gorilla glue only works if you get the surfaces wet first and it foams up when it works. It's really not appropriate for modeling.
>>23022745No, you need to clean it up better or it'll never fit. There's still excess plastic, not just a mark. Grab a knife or something for this.
>>23022748I can't tell where the excess plastic is. I can take more photos but in the meantime I don't wanna snip off something I shouldn't. I could be looking at it wrong but to me it looks like all of the leftover nubs are supposed to fit into a slot.
>>23022751I can't quite tell without handling the kit myself where exactly it refuses to fit but I'm pretty sure that these bits remaining on the part aren't helping.
>>23022492>>23022728yeah, in my experience all 30mm kits I have have really soft plastic and are very loose. I think it's to make them easier to take apart and kitbash without breaking anything.
>open box to inspect the runners>put runners back in the box>top of the box doesn't fit anymorewtf this is so annoying
>>23022770skill issue
>>23022746>>23022747I WANT MY MONKE GLUEI USE GORILLA GLUE CAUSE MONKEMONKE MONKE MONKE
>>23022758If you want a dumb and yet brilliant idea, use technical jelly or some kind of lubricant for some of those parts that go inside of other holes. I've been using it for my kits and it's a game changer.
>>23022789>>23022778wow how original
>>23022758>>23022792Well shit, do you think I'll have to? I think my D6 problem might be here. I removed it once because I put in D6 before the other shoulder pieces, and it seems like I mightve bent some things here too thickly now, maybe causing the issue (see pic). I assume that's the issue anyway because I snipped off the other D6 and it fits fine. Do I make it undergo extreme exacto surgery or use lube?
>>23021709There is orange peel but its not so bad in person. Haven't done shit in so long, I just want to fully paint a kit again
>>23022767I don't mind it too much specifically because the hyper-modularity is the selling point, so i get iti can always glue it in place if/when i decide i want a particular piece to stay as it is
>>23022727Ain't bad for 10pm and very tired eyes. Will finish it tomorrow. Mr Hobby makes some damn good paint after all.
>>23022801Lolwoops looks like I bent stuff in the wrong direction while removing the piece, the nubs there are nearly ready to snap off. But I still got it in. It's not perfect but it is my first RG I guess. (Left is a better one, right is the one I messed up some on.)
>>23022816What are you using to cut out these parts?
>>23022817cut? these were plucked out
>>23022818You should really invest in some nippers
>>23022816Just remember to sand those nubs. 400/1200/2000.
I got this for like $40 off at the local hobby shop. My five star story is about to begin.
>>23022697If your base colour is white, use a lighter shade; it'll need less layers.
I literally only paint in lacquers and have a drying booth but only make 2 kits a year, do you guys get home and just build? nothing else?
so i got my package rightsome kits and an action stand i picked up on saleand out of it allthat fucking stand is the bestlike the kits are nice but that stand is a gamechangeri've been missing out for years because i never bothered with stands
>>23022820NTAbutbest i can do is uhnail filesi think my softest is a 2030 glass file
>>23022816I am starting to believe you're trolling.
>>23022735I should get one but not till I’ve acquired a tallgeese iii
>>23022824some people just have a lot of free time, guy. Also no ADHD
What's a good gloss black laquer primer for airbrush?
>>23022857>primer>gloss blackI'm not sure that's a thing. There's alclad gloss black base but it's enamel
>>23022861There are black gloss primers, vallejo has one for example (it's shit btw, as other vallejo primers). GSW has one too in spray can.I'm tired of acrylic primers (they are too fragile) and I want to switch to laquers, but I need gloss black for metallic paints.
>>23022871use mr color Ueno Black, it's a glossy black and it's pretty good.
>>23022871Unless there's some obscure lacquer gloss black primer I don't know about, you're going to have to prime then apply a gloss black, then your metallic paint. Also you only really need a gloss black base for high shine metallics such as silver/chrome/aluminium etc and a couple of golds
was anyone retarded enough to grab this? sorta curious but it's sold out
>>23022892I would have if I had money to waste. It's probably all stuff that didn't sell well
>>23022892One anon here did, his shipping costs was 200 bucks
>>23022823It's fine. I just need two layers, since mr hobby cold white covers pretty good. It's more about psi/bar and good angle and distance to spray with.
bootleg pale rider and gm nightseeker... i desire it.
>>23022872But ueno isn't a primer, but base. It should always be primer -> gloss base -> top metalic -> varnish
>>23022892You’re gonna get a bunch of amaim kits
>>23022824you ever paint and print with your fdm printer at the same time? I've got a similar setup and even with my fume extractor, I don't want to try introducing lacquer fumes into the general area of a 200°C metal nozzle.
Hay guise I'm having trouble getting paint/primer to stick to e2046 resin. I tried cleaning it with dish soap and lightly sanding the surface but I don't think it was enough
>>23022950Why do you niggers always buy from them. We’ve told you multiple times it’s dogshit. I’m not gonna help you with your cheap crap.
Why are the arms of the runner not attached? What's the point?
>>23022959Their quality is fine it's just the mould release. I wouldn't want help from a retard like you anyway you probably don't even know what to do
>>23022950Have you tried alcohol yet?
>>23022094the chemicals to electroplate would be significantly more expensive than just buying the p bandai kits lmao
>>23022999That’s only an issue if you’re poor.
>>23022529>i post in the same thread as a reddit celebrityare you single? do you live near toronto?
>>23023003If you're rich you could just buy the p-bandai kit instead of the tens of thousands of dollars of equipment for plating plastic.
>>23023012I would rather spend tens of thousands of dollars on plating plastic than give a single dollar to p-bandai jews
>>23022705you can get paint bottles like this from a craft store like michael's too>>23022709it's based on the mcdonalds EG color scheme but this one is actually a recolor of the HGGTO
>>23022773Good news for you, Monkeyfucker: They also put their brand name on generic cyanoacrylate superglue. Just use that.
>>23022822post the runners, I wanna see how much work this thing is gonna be
Bros I ran out of room for my box fort… how am I supposed to keep buying stuff?
>>23023026...Is that a plamo fidget spinner 10 years after the trend died?
>>23022903>One anon here didI did not. I saw that shipping price, took a pic for gpg, and closed the tab.
>>23023031Cope. Don’t try to hide it, we all know you bought it.
>>23023027No, you press the shield and the flaps appear.
>>23023031sure you didpost your x5 Brady Hounds + x1 Cradlecoffin
>>23023035The only thing I bought lately was some resin weapons from project V, and they haven't shipped yet....
i do own 5 brady houndsbut NOT because i lost the hlj gacha.
How long do you think it’s gonna take for all these hobby shops to get rid of all their kyokai senki kits? It seems like they’ve been trying to dump them off for a while now.
Choo Choo
>>23023062they really thought kyoukai senki was gonna be a big thingwe'll be seeing them as raffle fodder for the next 5 yearsi will own three squads of brady hounds without having ever bought one
>>23023062They're already selling a bunch of them off to Hobby Lobby, and there it'll probably eventually trickle off since casual American hobbyists probably don't know how bad the show was.
>>23023074to be fair it doesn't really matter if the kits are goodshitposting aside i unironically like the brady hound
>>23021709First airbrushed kit. Going for a slight color shift on the wings for my hg destiny
>>23023074Why would casual American hobbyists buy them? I don’t think they’d even know wtf they are.
>>23023082hrng cool robot
>>23023062I was thinking of picking up some clearance ones just to practice painting.
>>23023071This is why the F90 (Gay type) shuttle type should have been.
>>23023074Did they sell them at a loss? I hope they got massively screwed over by this. I wonder how pissed they are at Bandai for all these flops
>>23023082That's exactly why they'll probably sell. If Grandma swings through the model kits aisle after getting her crocheting supplies and sees a colorful robot, she'll think it'll be something neat to get for her grandson who likes colorful toys. Rinse and repeat over time and that's how they'll sell out.
>>23023096if the kits are solid they might be a cool thing to give to people to get them into the hobby actually.
>>23023096Wouldn’t any Bandai hg or 30mm slop sell for them in that case?
How's the Huckebein Mk-III kit? Found it on sale.it's new and looks to be MG or RG so i presume decent
>>23022691im not gooning i never get around to doing that either because of my autism induced executive dysfunction
You may be laughing now but after a decade, Kyoukai senki kits will be a collectors item.
>>23023102that's why i'll never sell my 15 brady hounds that i got for free from mechauniverse points
>>23022705aliexpress>>23022697thin your paint more, low psi, easy on the trigger, take your time
>>23023101>tfw too autistic to goonsame
>>23023101haha yeaused to gorilla grip jackhammer my bloodshot semichub twice daily when i was a teenagerand then one day i just kinda stopped
>>23022857if you're spraying onto ps or abs you can skip the primer and just use mr color gx black or whatever other lacqer gloss black of your choice because lacquer thinner chemically keys into ps/abs. you don't really need primer on ps/abs because of that unless you're using lower pigment density paints and spraying a light colour onto dark coloured plastic
I haven't even built the HG and I'm considering the MGI don't even like seed but the wizard zakusman
>>23023120forgor picrelMG Warrior Gunner Zaku
>>23022950what primer? mr surfacer has notoriously bad adhesion on resin. the 1000 grit is fine but the finer grits are shit. tamiya's liquid primer is pretty good too (it's basically the same as mr surfacer 1000). a lot of people just use spray can primers on resin
>be me>HG only fag>decide to buy MG>every time I look at a MG kit>I only see people shitting on it>every>single>time
>>23023122Get it, you autistic bozo.
>>23023127The reality is that every master grade kit is pretty good. Some take a bit more effort to get it there though. Mostly the old kits from like 1999-2003
>>23023062I wish that I could find them for cut rates in the states. They sound like good pieces for conversions.

>>23023124NTA but I’m looking to start my first resin kit. I have gaia evo surfacer, is that better for resin?
>>23023119Really it works on abs too? I thought there was an anon recently who was painting an rg epyon and needed multiprimer because his paint kept flaking off
>>23023129i was hesitating because it lacks an inner framebut your post made me go for it
>>23023156it does, just very simplified. it's basically a 1/100 scale RG kit
>>23022871jap modelers usually use Gaianotes EX black for that
>>23023161I wish they made 1/100 scale RGs. I love 1/100

dont' speak shit on the toe until you read this article https://en.gundam.info/news/hot-topics/gundaminfobox-interview5.html
>>23022871I use Born Paint's gloss black primer and it works well. It's really shiny as it's made to be used with their mirror chrome. I think that Alclad has something similar.
>>23023180Nah
>>23023180TLDR? I have autism and executive dysfunction
>>23023180Didn't read, looks like ass.
>>23022878>Also you only really need a gloss black base for high shine metallics such as silver/chrome/aluminium etc and a couple of goldsWhy don’t you need gloss black for other metallics? Aren’t they supposed to be shiny too
>>23023183>I have autism and executive dysfunctiondo you live near DFW? wanna move into my basement?
>>23023190Wtf how did you know? Did I get doxxed?
>>23022110leftover runners are edible
>>23023193why are you eating those you're supposed to melt them in acetone and use them as glue/cement
>>23023192>Did I get doxxed?nyes
>>23023196b0ss...
>>23023185Depends what you're going for. The metallic will appear slightly smoother over gloss black
>>23023196Maybe we can be gunpla frens
>>23023185you can get away with non-gloss on metallic paints. it's only the high-finish paints like alclad chrome or armored komodo supra chrome where the high gloss black base is required.
>>23023190Different anon but I live near (2 hours away) from DFW, does that count?
>>23023180Shit makes sense. He covered a lot of the questionable design choices like the shoulder, skirt, and toe. Basically it’s a design choice because of the cg medium, they tried to imagine more as a realistic giant machine than something from anime. The toe helps with balance and giant panels line on the shoulder and waist would have a ton of mass and be unrealistic. I understand this gundam a lot more after reading, it doesn’t seem like an ai generated mess now.
>>23023214Still looks like shit.
>>23023214>Basically it’s a design choice because of the cg mediumThey could have come up with a billion better excuses than "we had to make it look like ass because of CG". I mean hell, wasn't Igloo CG?
>>23023207close enough.
>>23023219He says that this stuff looks unnatural, especially in motion. Texture and mass were a point of emphasis for them to create realistic motion. They also gave special consideration to how light interacts with them, so I think the model kits without shading don’t really represent their vision.
>>23023233>he saysI say a lot of bullshit as well.
>>23023214You know what's more unrealistic than some heavy panels? Giant walking robots.
>>23023239I mean I think he’s right. If they’re going for realism that’s how they do it. The igloo mobile suits just looks like anime but in 3d. It’s kind of unnatural with 3d textures. Not saying the rfv stuff necessarily looks good by conventional standards, but it represents a different take on gundams. They were trying to do something different and as far as realism goes I think they were successful.
>if you look up "Effect Wings" you find everything but shit Effect Wings madeWhat the FUCK was Chang thinking with this search engine?
>>23023251add quoteslike "effect wings"
>>23023256He did add quotes
>>23023247Your shilling is just sad.
>>23023233the rfv hgs do look a lot uglier than the original CG
>2 more weeks.Its atrocious how Bandai hasnt been hellbent on marketing the new series. They just dropped the trailer and was done with it.
>>23023282this is actually part of the reason i have some hope that it won't be pozzed garbagei feel like Bandai would shill the living hell out of it if it was
>>23023282the series isn't actually airing in 2 weeks that's "gquuux beginnings" which is a recut of the first few episodes into a movie in theaters
>>23023286Most likely it’s gonna be pozzed garbage
are you a good citizen who avoids gk recasts?
>>23023287How are we supposed to watch it?
>>23023292fly to japan and watch it in a theatre
>>23023293What about for the burger friends?
>>23023294What, you can't fly? You could try and swim I guess.
>>23023295I haven't evolved my wings yet. Or my gills.
>>23023295Nope too fat for airplane seats
>>23023298We just buy two of them and it's all good
I fapped to Gundam EX
>>23023300Based
>>23023295burgers will sink like stones in the pacific
>>23023294wait for the real anime
I just got the MG Aegis as a gift, Is there anything I need to be wary of before building it? Since it's a transformable kit and all that.
>>23023307Be wary of the kino
>>23023306When is the real anime gonna drop?
>>23023310they haven't announced anything yet.
>>23023312Dude this shit is so retarded.
>>23023286Heres to hoping the moe is just a facade.
>>23023300Im hoping that its the Ex S Gundam.
>>23023307The only thing you need to know is that its a crime if you dont display it in transformed mode
>>23023314I wish they would have actually hot anime girls with obscene bodies instead of this gay shit
>>23023313yes.
>>23023317We could have had an AoZ series with autistic hot girls debating over which mobile suit they made is the best and how the other girl’s works are shit.
>>23023322Kino. I’d watch.
>>23022141>>23022143>none of my buildsOh, okay...
>>23023329post your 2022 & 2023 collages then anon
I accidentally left my tamiya cement bottle partially opened while I was enjoying the holidays. The goop is fine, but the brush is a little stiff. Is there a way to clean it up? I know I can just buy more, but I hate wasting things.
>>23023332No! Collage anon is supposed to save every build as it's posted and make it himself!
>>23023333have you tried washing it with IPA or something?
>>23023335I haven't tried anything. I don't want to fuck it up further. The brush getting further ruined means I may as well get a new bottle.
>>23023339or you know you could just apply it with a toothpick
>>23023307it's based on the Strike Gundam frame, so expect kino
>>23022435Hey, I only finished 1 kit last year. It happens. Maybe this year will be better (hopefully)?
Finally moving forward from snapshitting and finished priming my first model I'm going to attempt to paint.
hmm i can't stop eating sprues
>>23023308>>23023316>>23023345Awesome, glad I asked.
Legs!Skirt is airbrushed and the rest is brush painted. I'm trying to practice smooth layering.
>>23023383Looking good
>>23023383would do you a lot of good to mask areas like the border between the leg and sock there so you wouldn't get so much "blending" between the two
Just finished building a Brady Phantom I recently bought, I enjoyed it.
>>23023289no.i need that kit anon
>>23023436oh? if you really need that GK so badly then surely you won't mind posting your gk WIP...?
I'm so indecisive, bros... I ended up with all these potential main melee weapons
>>23023247Realistic mecha, eh?
I’m guessing the next mgex is going to be gramps. You guys remember how after we got the first rg, a few years later we got the mg 3.0 which was basically an upscaled version? That’s gonna happen with the rg 2.0 / pgu
>>23023489Can't wait for Kotobukiya to fully the reveal that mech's model kit. I want to see if it's possible to use Bulkarm legs or any other legs and make it truly bipedal.
>>23023504Hexagear limbs use pegs of the same scale. Swapping it with other Bulkarm would be easy.
Why haven't Bandai make a semi-functional Scopedog mech yet?
>>23023499No, it's probably going to be an Exia Seven Swords with Trans Am LED gimmick.
>>23023521I need MGEXia
>>23023519You mean a proper functional Scopedog with a cockpit not locked behind P-Bandai? They already did that with the 1/20 'MG' kits and I really wish they went back to that again because they are solid. I wish Kotobukiya took a stab at Votoms in their Hexa Gear line though. And perhaps Front Mission as well.
I think I have feelings for Zakuaerulius
>>23023521TRANS am
Day 3 in the gym, already seeing results.
>>23023540>needing a website to stitch two images togetherthe absolute ineptitude of gen z
>>23023499>a few years later we got the mg 3.0 which was basically an upscaled versionMG typically resembling existing kits but they are a totally different beast. MG 3.0 has proper cockpit and much stronger innerframe meanwhile RG 1.0's details were surface level at best, the integration of core fighter is also janky as fuck.
>>23023547the 3.0's details were just as superficial. much of the inner frame was just retooled 2.0 parts and the core fighter was 1:1. The core fighter implementation on the RG was fine, and the RG even had more torso articulation than the 3.0 when it used the advanced MS joint core block.
post chinkgod kinos
>>23023525I was joking about Bandai pulling something similar to Tsubame, but about modelkit, i agree that dumbling Votoms down to Gunpla level is insulting. For Koto, their Hexagear line is totally inspired by Votoms, but they haven't make a liscenced Votoms kit yet, atleast not the real deal. Koto has a model line called Nacchin and it had a Votoms collab before. And funny enough, they have cockpit.
>>23023552
>>23022975it helps the plastic flow all the way to the end when they do the injection mold thing
>>23023551>The core fighter implementation on the RG was finePtfff almost everyone hate that shit. It is one of the biggest complain about ver 1.0. Also, despite the kit having the chest capable of opening up, you cannot see the cockpit properly, only the core block's canopy. This is what superficial detail is.>ArticulationNo one cares>the 3.0's details were just as superficial.Are you sure?

So how hard is it to 3d print a 1/500, maybe 1/700 gunpla mini that's still poseable?I've been spending months learning blender so I can make my tiny scale UC suits and 3d print them for shelf friendly giant dioramas. I might be too late since bandai literally just stole my idea.
>>23023745>>23023746>>23023748Are Artifacts successful enough to warrant this retardation? Not gonna lie, would get me some mini feddie ships since EX models would cost me an arm
>>23023745Bandai is finally forcing snapshitters to paint, I don't see any complaints as long as the price is below what gamesworkshop charges
>Snaplet's buck status: broken
Gundam Mini Fighters TV series coming your way this summer (featuring completely original designs that will be turned into both minis and HGs)
>>23023768>snapshittersDo they even buy anything model related without articulation?
>>23023764It would only be worth it imo if they actually had a wide selection. Its cool to have the major suits in artifact size ranges, but that's nothing if you can't also have tiny little GMs and Zakus along with them.
>>23023746>>23023748I know what colour to paint
>>23023768more like snapshitters are going to buy these and paint them up horribly with gundam markers or post unpainted vers with just panel lining since this retarded community (outside of this shithole) doesn't bully people for bad modelling skills or bad painting.
>>23023748>KAPOOLHoly fuck christmas came early. Late? Whatever, it came and so did I.
>>23023745They should do another proper run of bandai ex model. Maybe make it slightly bigger at 1/1000 or something.
>>23023783sounds like a based community outside of this shithole, I'm glad mongoloids like that are contained here and gatekept out of any cultured space. Good work, folks!
They build a new and a large factory just for tabletop figures
Wowee I sure can't wait for the one most greedy companies out there to start locking overpowered units behind pbandai that isn't accessible to most of the target audience/western countries and europe.
>>23023790sir that's a 3d sketch
>>23023788>another proper run of bandai ex modelOne day I'll get my hands on Hildolfr...
>>23023745I didn't ask for it but hell yes I'm down if it doesn't cost 150 bucks for 6 minis, I find them easier to paint than actual full size gunpla
>>23023791Warhammer's chinaman will save us!
>>23023794>You will never be the proud owner of a 1:1700 diorama of ao bao quI can't even begin to imagine how you'd paint the fine details of those fingernail sized Zaku.
>>23023797>snapshitters can't fathom having a good hand and precision
>>23023799Post your painted minis, nigger
>>23023799PYW
Will they at least make space colony?
>>23023764Artifact line has been very popular, they did several volumes and they sell out almost everywhere.
>>23023800>>23023802Ok what now, snaptards?
>>23023830I concede...
>>23023830based
Just use gundam markers
Thank you Bandai for using your new factory to make shit no one wants. It saves me money and closet space.
>>23023748HOW IN THE FUCKING SHIT CAN THEY MAKE MINIS OUT OF THIS BUT NOT AN MG?
>>23023476Nothing wrong with that
>>23023476Giant alligator clip would be pretty avant-garde for a mech
>>23023934Barbatos already had one.
>>23023554they don'tyou have to get a separate booster unit for this, it's the nacchin line's cockpit ie not specifically made for the dog
>>23023830timestamp it
>>23023926Making one runner with like 7-8 pieces on it is loads easier than making 9-12 runners with 300-500 parts from both an engineering and manufacturing standpoint.
>>23023982Not to mention having to engineer the color separation, articulation, gimmicks, inner frame, while this is just a static mini
>>23023790bandai gonna mog games workshop now with affordable table top figures?
>>23023148rg advanced ms joints aren't just abs, they're abs and pp. lacquers don't key into pp>>23023147yeah
>>23023990do warhammerfriends actually care about the tabletop game that much? I know they still sell 50$ rulebooks but thought it was aimed at a microscopic niche
>>23023982>>23023989No shut the fuck up its been almost 24 years since the NG 144 and the best update they did was a meme kit momokapool. Now they’re releasing minis of Kapool?
>>23023350if i finish all these almost finished wips on my desk i can overtake 2024 in a couple of months, so i have hope for this year
>>23023997now it's mostly just hardcores because GW started being shitcunts about the rules (forcing new rulebooks every 2 years and even then basically making shitloads of balance changes after the fact anyway, effectively making it a churning subscription)but the people this shit chased off still want to play tabletopBandai is being smart by giving this disenfranchised not-quite-as-hardcore wargame audience a new thing
I want a MG kapool too just so I can reuintie Loran and Sochie.
>>23024005I see, smart play thenI know Warhammer is pretty eclectic thematically but it still seems like a huge jump going from it to anime robots, it's working right now but i think mostly on creative types that want to build and customize anyways
>>23024000Bitch, be happy they picked the Kapool at all. They could've gone with any of the more recent FoTM designs like the Darilbalde or Gelgoog Menace instead but went with that and Tallgeese to show that "Hey this won't just be a Gundamfest". The real question on this is how the minis will be distributed. Most Mini games need multiples of the same unit, so as a result they pack together 5 Space Marines or 10 Orks or whatever in a single box with named characters being single releases, but that's because the games take up a whole table. Going by the dice and and paint pots in the back this board's probably not much bigger than a square foot so it's honestly more in line with Battletech (The hexagonal board and bases especially). Also, since they only show like 5 models on the board at any one time my guess is it'll be quick 3v3 matches at most. They'll probably be released in packs of 3-4 suits per kit, so for that I could see them doing a pack with>Turn A >Kapool (Running)>A second Kapool in a firing pose>Maybe a Borjanon, most likely Gavane's so that normals don't get it confused with a Zaku
>>23024005If they are smart they would capitalise on making and marketing the grunt suits first. Let everyone army build then hype up the Gundams/Villain suits.
why don't people jsut use their MGs as tabletop pieces
>>23023606>almost everyone hate that shityou're the first person I've ever heard complain about it, esl-kun
>>23023606i always thought the Gundam's waist is the core block itself. i was actually disappointed it's just being stored inside when being docked with the Gundam.
>>23024022too bighowever there is in fact a fanmade wargame for using gunplai've also seen gunpla used for Tau crisis suits for 40khttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3a0eksnzAM
new snapgod kino just dropped, $99 preorderglory to the ccp
Can someone post the store links or a good us based place that sells p bandai other than p bandai official? I'm at the beach and the internet is so shit I can't open the links in the bin
>>23024042get a new personality.
>>23024022Even HGs are pushing the size limit and you'd typically need a 6x6ft table just to play a 3v3.
>>23023476beam javelin BEAM JAVELIN
>>23024042>it just animorphs from Michael Bay to NotGundamNah, that design kinda sucks.
Would you rather they make a HGUC Capule or HGCC Kapool?
>>23024055MG Kapool. With a cow for the pilot.
>>23024055Color is the only difference, so doesn't matter.
>>23024055kapool but realistically capule has a higher chance of being made solely because it appeared in unicorn
>>23023791even warhammer does that. the custodes adeptus are only available through their p-bandai equivalent and those guys are OP they can take out many units in small numbers
>>23024059Why do japs lose their shit over every little thing that appeared in unicorn?
>>23024063I think they're starting to move past unicorn. What was the last thing that even came out of unicorn?
>>23024049retard
>>23024063Because the Torrington base attack is one of the few good things in Unicorn.
>>23024049No.
>>23024055It would probably end up being the capule but I would 100% paint that fucker green
>>23023763>still poseableyou'd probably need disproportionately large joints at that scale. better to just do fixed pose minis with maybe the option to glue arms in multiple positions
>>23024049>the store links what?>a good us based place that sells p bandai other than p bandai official?what the fuck?
>>23023830eto.... painted on the sprue...? why
>>23024049surugay has some pbandai stuff secondhand. presumably mandarake as well
>>23024051I don't even have a first personality though.
Are Dspiae hand drills good for just making kitbashing holes?
>>23024083Yeah they’re fine. They’re just drills it’s not that complicated
>>23024066>>23024063>decided to watch Gundam UC because gundaminfo uploaded the whole series in youtube>instead of focusing on the plot, i ended up playing "spot the mobile suit"it has that kind of a charm.
>>230240850079 kinda drags until the last 10 episodes so I get it. Zeta starts a lot stronger.
>>23024095He's talking about Unicorn, not about the Universal Century.
Bunch of retards

>>23024121Embarrassing
>>23024023Early 2000s engineering sucked and that core fighter was just a disaster, being both outdated tech, small and articulated. But ofcourse RGfag like you will cope super hard.
>>23024178>Early 2000s>RGyou are experiencing ego death
>>23024181Holy shit 2010 was 15 years ago? Fuck man, where has the time gone...
I didn't do much in 2024, but I'll work on more this time around. Just started on the RG RX 2.0.
>>23024202fucking amazing. i love the gouf
>>23024181Anon, do you seriously believe Bandai made it in 2010? The prototype was on display in march 2010, whatever the technology to make it was obviously in the 2000s.
>>23024208Oops, wrong pic. Here is the display of 1.0. Funny enough, ver 2.0 was also on display in march.
>>23024208>>23024209meanwhile>bandai technology in early 2000s
>>23024211i like to think that dalong still uses the same ciggy pack for scale
>>23024209>bandaibabies will defend this
>>23024211Is that supposed to be bad?
>>23024213>Yoshikage Kira imagines enemies to argue with again instead of sculpting his own hands

>>23024217joke's on you i already had that playingi was just panel lining my volpanova's arms and threads
>>23024211Alot of early 2000s stuff actually looked pretty good in spite of their age.
>>23024219It seems so wrong without all the gold
>>23024219>Oct. 2010 release>Early 2000sThis is what something from the early 2000s actually looks like.
>>23024224Why do these retards keep confusing 2010 with early 2000s lol
>>23024224Wait you posted the MG not the HG my bad. Point still stands though
>>23024213Not even memes and shit, Bandai made the first RG around 2008-2009 because the display version of it was very early ( march 2010 ).
>>23024224>>23024226>>Oct. 2010 release>Why do these retards keep confusing 2010 with early 2000s lolThat's Sinanju MG ver Ka, 2008 release. If you count the development time then it would be made atleast in 2007 or 2006. This explains the bad color separation because the tech wasn't ready.
>>23024234What about 2007 and 2006 is early 2000s?
>>23024208anon, how fucking retarded are you? RG RX-78-2 was an absolute cutting edge marvel when it came out and by far the most impressive piece of model kit engineering every made at the time, especially when you factor it's mass produced at cheap price.
>>23024224That's 2001 HG and was probably made with 90s tech. The MG kits of the same time preriod looked like legit beauties.
>>23024248Kampfer my beloved
I love confidently incorrect anons, they are so breedable
>>23024244
>>23024234>2007 or 2006that's, by definition, not early 2000s
RG RX 2.0 in Titans Colors, y/n?
>>23024247>RG RX-78-2 was an absolute cutting edge marvel when it came out and by far the most impressive piece of model kit engineering every made at the timeRG 1.0 was simply an attemp to integrate MG's innerframe into 1/144 model line. If you want to put "excellent engineering" into this, MG Unicorn ver KA is capable of transformation between Unicorn mode and Destroy mode, a 2007 release no less. Bandai was obviously pulling some seriously high efforted shit back then.
>>230242622007 was also when the mg zaku ii 2.0 came out. That’s when mg started getting good
>>23024262You do realize lowering the size by 50% is a pretty big deal right?
>>23024262Somehow the fact the Unicorn MG came out in 2007 feels wrong even though I know it's true and that the manga started in 2007
>>23024266It came out even before it got animes. That gives me hope for other manga gundam mg
>>23024219Oh god is that seriously what the Ver Ka looks like? Lol
>>23024280They’re having like 6 jillion others at this point if you don’t like that one
>>23024266Even the HG started to have something decent about them around 2000s. HG The O was a legitimate decent kit for its age, the fact color separated monoeye rarely get recreated after it shown how the technology of that time period was up to something great but Bandai choose to regress instead.
>>23024280Pretty much. Alot of ver Ka MGs don't look good, especially Hi Nu. It looks so bland.
>>23024287Even 30mm has separate monoeye pieces but bandai insists on fucking stickers
>>23024287HG O is one of my favorites, and I'm actually debating a second to take time with and clean better.
it's wild how the thread quality goes down so consistently at the same time every single day
>>23024293burgertime
>>23024294All me btw
>>23024289I was expecting Gelgoog Menace and Gyan Strom to have something similar since they were latest monoeye kits but eventually their eyes are still stickers. Sure just paint the detail, right, but the existence of HG The O made the monoeye sticker feels like Bandai wasn't putting efforts into their modern releases at all.
>>23024113>>23024121Ohnonobobobobobobobbobo getting exposed.
The thread in the last 3 hours have more exciting and unpredictable plot than entire IBO and Gwitch combined.
>>23024313Suletta is cute though so it makes perfect sense to have her on my shelf.

This is /m/. Majority of shitposters are clearly SEAmonkeys
>>23024325Wow Americans really live in your head rent free don’t they
>>23024317Sulette deserves to be in a cage.
I have a question. Why are most resin kits statues? Why don’t they give them articulation?
>>23024345elitism mostly
>>23024344She deserves everything the world has to offer actually.
>>23024345Because resin is fucking brittle and snaps easily, not to mention the dust particles can really fuck your lungs up if you breath them in. Plastic is a lot easier to work with, and cheaper, and has more forgivable give and yield.
>>23024345Sculpting a statue is a lot easier than sculpting a statue plus engineering it with articulation. How is this not immediately obvious?
>pretty satisfied with Master Gundam but Fuunsaiki's basically just a stand, since it looks like they gave up on making him articulated partwayIs the bootleg an improvement, or is it literally just identical?
>>23024351They’re modelers. They should put work into it.
>>23024356I'd rather have the sculpture be accurate than ruin it with 'muh articulashion' for man babies to play with it. Buy a plastic kit for that.
>>23024355https://imgur.com/a/effectswings-hg-rg-fuunsaiki-WIvRHXO#yv8nzJQ
>>23024345Resin kits are most of the time, made by a dude in his bed room. He might be excellent artist but not engineer.
>>23024365I’ve bought resin articulation pieces made by some Japanese dude in his bedroom.
>>23024212he quit smoking, the current pack is getting what people here would call "weathered."
>>23024356Modeler who can make articulated kit don't use resin and most of them got a job in actual companies.
>>23024372based!!!!
>>23024372>Recolor>The backpack is the same as Gyan StromWhy is this shit even P-Bandai?
>>23024262I hate to say it but Unicorn era Bandai was more ballsy than the cucked one that we have right now.
>>23024345resin has shit durability the joints would wear quick
>>23024378bandai is making more money than ever. it's the consoomer who is cucked, not bandai.
>>23024385Because of the revival of seed. Unicorn was their biggest cash cow before that.
>>23024386I don't give a shit about the gook toon but SEED gunplas are universally great
>>23024386hardly just seed. they can put any slop on pban and retards eat whatever it is up without them having to pay middleman retailers.
>>23024385idk man I'm feeling pretty fucking great about bandai in recent years
>>23024391Yeah I’m feeling pretty fucking great about pozzed gundam shows no mgs and soft gummy details
>>23024378Build Divers was also another ballsy era of Bandai. I wonder why we nolonger have this level of color separation for HG anymore, it is either full of stickers like Seed Freedom or extremely compromised designs like GWitch.
>>23024397you sound like you are weak
>>23024401Nice projection
>>23024402i'm not the one seething here, I'm happy
>>23024405You are seething at me. I’m happy with my non Bandai model kits.
>>23024405it's funny how he has his knickers in a twist over toys and a children's TV show (that he didn't watch) and he thinks you're the one seething
>>23024407I hope you find happiness, anon>>23024408that's not very nice either, to be honest
>>23024408Why does Banrise always try to be gopro tryhard with Gundam? I swear this crap is one of the most steriled thing i have ever seen, yet it always act like it is super gritty and edgy. Atleast Build series is honest and self aware.
>>23024397It's actually fun to sharpen up a sculpt.
>>23024422They need to drop the super serious real robot stuff and go back to stuff like g gundam and wing and build fighters that focuses on being fun and doesn’t take itself so seriously.
>>23024429A little bit of serious storytelling is fine, but Gundam is just so cringe when it comes to that. Durrhurr horror of war, durrhurr the enemies are just like us they are people too! Sure, Banrise.
>>23024363This gives me mixed feelings, but this was a thorough review and read, thank you
>>23024440You’re giving me mixed feelings
Why does this kit make Gaikotsu and redditors seethe so hard? It has its pros and cons, not even the worst thing ever like they made it out to be.
>>23024465H-huhAbout what
does /gpg/ still use g paint? how does it compare to gaianotes and mr color?
>>23024508I just use tamiya paint because they are cheap and got imported regulary.
>>23024511That is not what the question was asking.
>>23024439What the fuck are you yapping about, retard?
>>23024508I wasn't even aware of this brand. I use vallejo, DSPIAE paint markers, and random acrylic rattlecans from home improvement store.
>>23024514gundam has been circlejerking the same point for 45 years and constantly failing to deliver it because it also can't stop itself from being a toy commercialout of all gundam media maybe 10-15% actually succeeds at being a serious war story
>>23024518by the way among that 10-15% I count After War Gundam X
>>23024518by the way among that 10-15% I count Unicorn
>>23024514Are you the same faggot who spammed " what the fuck are you even talking about " in previous threads, everytime someone said something that hurt your feefees? If you want to engage in an argument, just do it. Stop spamming the same retarded crap.
>>23024518by the way among that 10-15% I count G-Gundam

>>23024678They don't call it the cockpit for nothing
>>23024708It has more to do with the nature of bootlegs. They had to swap several letters to distract DMCA bots.
>>23024725Yeah, spelling caution correctly on the sticker sheet would set off the bots.

>>23025066Not gunpla, yes because it has metal involved, and the prices are grossly beyond inflated because it's an intentional luxury item for people with deep wallets and no regrets. It's for figure enthusiasts who want a particular scratch itched, and there are people who will buy out stocks on these things not even to scalp, but to put on shelves in poses and post pictures online.You are not the target audience unless you want to be. Made by the figure department of Sunrise so they have no connection whatsoever with Gunpla, so another figure doesn't mean "opportunity cost" or whatever people typically scream sour grapes over.
>>23025066Metal skeleton, pre painted action figure and 1/100 scaled. Do the math.
>>23025077>>23025076Oh shit, I somehow missed that it was a prebuilt figure. I’m retarded. Still feels pretty wild price, but it is a collectible in the end.
>>23025088Again, it's a luxury brand and Metal Builds are infamous for horrible paint jobs and other scuffs. You buy these purely to show off your wealth and how you think they look cool. Absolutely not for kids, but adults with no other hobbies and are wealthy enough to do so without it hitting their bottom line.
some part of me hopes that kotobukiya kits dont get too popular, Im starting to get cucked in some I wanted
>>23025093Fair, I’m just not the market for it. Probably big for Crossbone fans, too. For that price I’d just buy and paint a PG.
>>23025095What did you get cucked?
>>23025095Koto kits cost around 50 to 90 dollars average, might be more for gigantic stuff. Bottom of the barrel redditors won't have easy access to it and already got too attatched to Gunpla. Koto fanbase is consist of 20000ish people with a big wallet ( including me ).
>>23025106Yeah me too. Koto filtered poorfags which is why I like them. They don’t cater to lowest common denominator slop like Bandai
>>23025100NTA but i didn't get a chance to buy Agnirage. Buying Koto kit is like a fomo race because they don't reprint stuff more often.
>>23025066>Why cant I afford this.Maybe you should start asking the right questions.
>>23025114Why can’t I afford it?
>>23025114mindlessly spending money on something overpriced just because you don't want to seem poor is nigger behavior
>>23025114lol the question was why is this worth $400, not that I couldn’t afford it.
>>23025116Bro chill we have black anons in the thread. It’s just what they do.
>>23025110Not even joking, the most respectable thing Bandai has ever done is increasing the price of MG EX up to extra 2000 yen. No hate on poorfags, but they can be super annoying, especially when they pretend to be rich online and buy the scalped gunpla trash with 700% price gouge.
>>23025115>>23025116>>23025117Well looks like I struck a nerve.
>>23025125Fuck you
>>23025013Maybe youre thinking about one of the Efreet variants.
>>23025028No, I live in Toronto
>>23025134anon I already found itit's the GN-X Ogre >>23025046
>>23025093Metal Build are made by Tamashi Nation, right? I bought a figure several years later, the line called SIC Hero Saga i think. And man, the paintjob looked like absolute dogshit and the body is crooked.
>>23025141anything SIC is a massive QC dicerollit's ridiculous how inconsistent they are
>>23025140Maybe youre thinking about the Act Zaku
>>23025145I wasn't but that thing is really cool I'll ad it to my list
>>23025144The line has been discountinued as well. And well deserved.
