==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
Show me what you're working on! I need to see it!
i want to paint but it's cold and i don't want to open my window for long periods
>>23036013just huff those fumes anon. they want to be part of youor do the water bucket thing
>>23036037i did that not too long ago on my last build for 2024. forgot to open my window for a whole paint session
>>23036042Become one with the fumes
>>23035791This video was painful, this guy is obnoxious despite never saying anything, and he cuts the chain mine wire too short, it's the right length from the box you retarded SEAmonkeyfound a better onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYLZ-aYwDDQ
>>23036035Thats really neat.
the more i look at the kampfer the more sad i feel that it only appeared in that one episode and in some random F90 manga later on as an upgraded versionit's literally perfecti usually don't like the bell bottom legs on things like doms but the kampfer has this perfect beetle-like body shape that makes the flared legs blend into everything else, and all the big ol thrusters
mfw waiting paint to dry
>>23036085the magenta highlights made me think this was a kamen rider decade undersuit-only figure for a second
For me it's the Kampfer Schwer
>>23036090Ah yesthe original Gespenst
>>23036090I'm building mine at the moment, got an idea for what to do with it.
>>23036090Prototype Kampfer my beloved.
>>23036090>>23036095I'm quite fond of the High Mobility Kampfer myself
>>23036090Ugly redesign with random parts tacked-on without any sense.
jim progress, everything primed/ frame parts, vents, etc have silver+black over for a nice gunmetal. Scribed these calves out for a little more detail
>>23036097>Only exists as a Gframe.
>>23036104It's not like it'd be hard to make one if you get a Kampfer, Gerbera Tetra and some paint.
>>23036097Can't go wrong with the Kampfer Amazing.
>>23036084hey, at least it got an Amazing version in build, and an amazing fight to goes with it.
I feel like there was alot more conversation about 30mm in the last thread than usual.
why do gunpla youtubers paint their nails but they dont paint their kits?
k-kino....
>>23036131Sometimes when you need to go into space you gotta look a little goofy.
>>23036127"kit review" sloptubers dont have time to paint since they're trying to spam out as many videos as possiblethere are plenty of youtubers who actually do post their own high effort projects but they aren't ~social media influencers~ with 5 posts per day so tiktokbrained zoomers lose focus and forget they exist
>>23036131>Dildo with legsThat's what gundam really needed
>>23036131Should I stick this up my ass, /gpg/?
>>23036162With proofs
For reasons, the only primer I can use at the moment is shitty Vallejo brush on primer. Any idea how much I should thin it before I apply it?
This kit bad? I plan to paint it.
>>23036284I only heard it has insane amounts of stickers, but if you're going to paint it then I guess is pretty ok
>>23036284Just get 2.0
>>23036286>insane amounts of stickersthat's fucking nothing
Has anyone experimented with making Super Robot type creations out of 30mm stuff? I've been thinking of trying it but i'm not a creative guy.
Spanish inquisition guillie dudid you expect it?
Waiting for the sun to stop fucking around on the least coast so I can start painting already
>>23036003Nadleeh done.The purple modulation is probably my best yet though I should have went all the way up to pure white for highlights because the chink waterslides I used are a bit too light and barely visible.
>>23036324Painting tightened one of the ab joints too much so it broke but thankfully I was able to glue it back together without losing movement
>>23036325Split the painting process into Nadleeh first and Virtue after because I dont want to paint 130 white parts in one go and this way I can actually enjoy displaying it as Nadleeh before I put the armor on forever.
>>23036326Better view of the purple.Excuse the random drops of water, it's snowing.
Kit when?
Making an astray for the group build and I'm honestly shocked at how much empty space there is in the pelvis area between the legs and the rear skirt on the RG. I know it's supposed to swivel back and forth for some range of motion but I might just stick some extra parts in there to fill in that space
>>23036013I have a somewhat related question - I just moved to a relatively cold place, how cold is too cold for outside topcoating? Came from a much warmer location, so it never came up
>>23036003>>23036000Testing the cape gimmick. Make retake the photo again with the better light or if shoulder is changed
>>23036324>>23036325>>23036326>>23036329I like this alot
Watch out, actual taste alert
>>23036432Statueshit doesn't belong here
>>23036413Around 10°C/50°F
>>23036454Well shit, way to cold here for that. Thanks for the info

>>23036143>PicThis is a million times better than walking dildo.
>>23036271for like 4 drops of primer a brush that's just been wetted is plenty, but really it's the age old advice of just eyeballing a milk texturejust be sure to gently turn the bottle upside down and back again a bunch of time to mix the primer well before using
any fellow chinkgods in toronto here
>>23036013just turn the radiator on. not like the window has to be wide open just to put a hose out of

>>23036502put socks on
>>23036514Lol
>>23036519Wtf. Yeah this is retarded. I can’t believe there’s a new gundam that I can’t watch
>>23036528now gundambabies know how us fsstards feel
>>23036300Huh... those beam sabers are unique. Ive only ever seen long thin hg sized ones with a fat round bottom
>>23036325Do you never get scared you're gonna drop your kit off the ledge? There has to be better ways for outdoor photos
>>23036572On this railing not really, it's a wide surface and I take photos on action bases anyway.When I was living in Japan I had a really terrible balcony railing but I still did it mostly without incident. The one time I did drop something was with pic related>windy>evening>phone in one hand>blacklight in the other>gust of wind>oh shit oh fuck>reach with the blacklight hand>manage to grab it as it leans off the edge>grip a bit too hard and one of the armed armor XCs gets detached (didnt even break thankfully)>watch it fly 5 stories down>run downstairs>already dark now>look for the spot under my balcony>fuck im looking for a dark blue part in dark grass and bushes>shine my blacklight around on the ground>the orange lines light up and i find it>no scratches
How many GMs it too many?
>>230366002
>>23036286Have you seen SD Zeromaru's stickers?
How many GTMs is too many
>>23036329Looks pretty ok with few issues here and there.
>>23036600one of each variant is the ideal amount
>>23036607there is no limit
lol so true
>>23036600If you're not building at least a full squad (complete with Balls and all with action bases since you're fighting in space), you're not doing it right.
>>23036627Why don’t they have balls on earth
>>23036394We'll get Amuro's rick dijeh HG or RG first
>>23036582oh hey I remember you, is it weird I had gay fantasies about you?
>>23036582how did you managed to paint while in Japan?I heard that there are lots of strict rule on what you and can't do inside your apartment, and that balcony is too small for air brushing most of the time.Also, you did handpaint the glowing part, right?
>>23036629polypod ball?
>>23036645>how did you managed to paint while in Japan?With an airbrush and paint. I painted on the balcony because I was worried about fumes right next to my bed.>Also, you did handpaint the glowing part, right?Airbrushed. Masking between the ridges of the XC (I did gold>fluo orange) was a massive slog and I probably should have painted the orange, then masked the lines and repainted the gold.
>>23036605The Fool still takes the cake.Even IF you should use this shit you're still left with 1/3rd of the kit in the wrong colors.
>>23036660Are you keep using the fluorescent color? I really love how you painted it.
>>23036627I got the ball twin pack so I guess I'm just going to need to get a couple more GMs
>>23036682Please try to learn the english language if you plan on using websites in english. To answer your question, yes I use fluos frequently.
>>23036716>Please try to learn the english language if you plan on using websites in englishBased. Spics need to learn some English talk
>>23036716He's doing his best and we all know what he's saying.>>23036720That might be the polish dude who posts here.
>>23036716what brand of fluos do you use?
>>23036613i remember having to send 5 separate emails to mr nao (iykyk) with my cc details, one for each 4-digit segment of the number and one with name + expiry date + cvv.and my bank would ALWAYS tell me there's suspicious activity and lock my card when i used to buy vinyl records from HMV.
>>23036716Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
>>23036736Gaia because in my experience they're much stronger than mr.color and also clear so you can do fluorescent candy with them.
>>23036013Clear fluorescent green from Gaia is my go to huff of choice.
>>23036111The Kawaguchi respected it enough to leave it blue tells me all I need to know.
>>23036613What site(s)? Ive used Buyee to buy junk gunpla (2 VF-15 Tornado Packs, and the RG Blossom resin conversion kit), and Mandarake to get an armored core and macross kit. Never went through any headaches.
>>23036744I had a stroke reading this
>>23036792I understood him.

>>23036798You are the ultimate eslchad. I kneel.
>>23036805You're just not a historian of Wii games.
>>23036744Are you a Sazabi? Because you sound like you got a blood clot in your head. Truth.
Are there any respirators I can use with a beard?
>>23036847They don't think it be like it is but it do
>>23036855Just shave your neckbeard
>>23036162base not flared enough.
>>23036855
>>23036878He’s gonna be breathing in those fumes from his nose
>>23036884are you visually impaired?
i would do terrible things for a HG of you...
>>23036893why would you ruin a good design by making it 1/144?
>>230368971/144 is the superior scale
>>23036893Just convert a doven wolf or silver bullet
>>23036878>oooo yea im blastin dat blu part blu
>>23036886No
>>23036627>>23036692Are the Balls worth the price, the two-pack is the price of two GMs
>>23036893Just get the resin kit
>>23036922No. I want to play with it like a toy
>>23036631RelatedI want to try to give my dijeh a more gundamy face plate, my friend has the wfm lfrith and it looks like the perfect fit (initially I was thinking on sazabi's but I don't know anyone with one). I want to clone it using oyumaru...and while I could use milliput/greenstuff or similar I was thinking on melted sprues using either plastic cement or acetoneHas anyone tried oyumaru with that? does it give good results?
>>23036893you have to fuck 100 twinks in the ass
>>23036944been there done that got a t shirt, but no fakhing markfive
>>23036458Probably the same reason you retards repost shitty reddit builds
>>23036915you must be looking at the ball ver ka. the hg balls dont cost 40$
>>23036329woah
>>23036962He's exaggerating, but a HGUC GM usually costs around $10, while the Ball Twin Set is $16. So an individual Ball costs about 20% less than an individual GM.
>>23036432is that an event exclusive kinonotes bottle with the cat pic label? god i wanna huff it. i'm COOOOOOOMING just at the thought
>>23036855i remember seeing people with those goofy full head in a bubble masks during 'rona
>>23036962>>23036968It's $10 for GMs here and $20 for the Ball twin-set, I was speaking truthfully...
>>23036977This won't protect you from lacquer fumes
>>23036982It didn’t even protect them from the coof
>>23036981>$20 for the Ball twin-setThen you're getting ripped off.
>>23036432I want that paint shelves more than the kits. Are they custom built?
>>23036982sure it will, PAPRs are beefy hardware
>>23036990Das rite. I only paid $16 for mine. $20 bucks is a fucking rip off
>>23036992Can't think of anything more laughable than a fat neckbeard wearing this while spraying weeb kids toys
>>23036995LMFAO
>>23036990>>23036994That's the price that every store here had them as, and somehow they're often out of stock. Clearly people buying them so I was confused. Man...And $8 Balls vs $10, either way it still feels expensive. I know you get two of each rather large weapon, custom stands, and vernier details, but still.
So I got about twenty markers and I need a good way of holding them. In my mind I'm thinking of something like a knife block but for markers, but what are some of the options out there? Bonus points if it's the sort of thing I can find at a store instead of having it delivered.
>>23036991oh yeah it definitely looks like he DIY'd it. 2 different types of wood, weird mount for an extension cord, extremely specific size for the paint jars, etc
>>23036992>>23036995perhaps it's time for neckbeard-san to shave that nasty beard or pay thousands for a retarded respirator helmet
>>23037005throw them in the trash and buy some real paint
>>23036995>Can't think of anything more laughable than a fat neckbeard wearing this while spraying weeb kids toyswhat about a fat neckbeard wearing one to go grocery shopping?
>>23036106If only Gerbera Tetra was something I could get on the shelves.
>>23037005dspiae makes marker boxes, 4 bux on ali and holds 9 each
>>23037025If only there was a non resin MG of the Gerbera Tetra.
>>23037005IF you have a 3D printer the world is your oyster.
>>23037033Is just tie them together with a rubber band and pull out the ones i need.
>>23037005Just get one of these but bigger
>>23036003Just finished snap building and topcoating this kampfer.
>>23036003Decals done, just need one last top coat. The Land Combat GM is practically calling out to me for weathering, but I've never actually done weathering and I don't want to fuck it up and hate myself for it.
>>23037005>twenty markersbut why
>>23037077Based brushpainter
>>23037081You really love your GMs, huh. Now do Nemo variants
>>23037081I wuv you anon
>>23037088Not sure what you're talking about this is just topcoat from a can.
I was unaware gaianotes fluorescent paints were clear... makes things A LOT better for me, but I wish I didn't buy a ton of mr color fluorescent paints as those aren't clear
>free shipping for a bigass sprayboothchina wins againthe same one is 110 on amazon.
What's the best HG GM? I want to build one, but I'm not sure which one is the most fun. Sorta leaning towards Sniper II or Sniper K9, but very open to suggestions.
i dont know if i like the fafner designs.
>>23037123whichever looks best to you, honestly
>>23037113These chink spray booths are ass though
>>23037123I've just snapped the XFS GM spartan. It's a really good kit and one of the best GMs I've built. Other notable kits are the origin GM and GM ground type. The original HGUC GM is also pretty good despite it's age.
>>23037127I meant as far as engineering goes. All Jims are loveable. >>23037125I love the Fafners. They're very weird and lanky looking.
>>23037128spoonkino rex uses them though
>>23037130I've never built a chink knock-off before. I keep hearing great things about this particular one though.
>>23037136No he doesn't. He uses a big ass aluminum built one.
>>23037128they do the job well enough. All the hate they get from anon fags here claiming they'll explode your shit up or just not vent fumes are straight up liars. It's not the best, as they're decently loud, aren't made with quality, etc.. etc.. but they're affordable enough. I'll one day upgrade to a big fucking spray booth made with metal that takes up an entire corner of my room like the one I saw in some korean youtube video but for now, this shit will do.
>>23037146I doubt these things vent all the fumes. You can do the math but just eyeballing the cfm and static pressure of the shitty pc fans, the cross sectional area of the booth, and the hose, it’s not pulling enough air.
>>23037141I've got the white/blue one because it comes with most of the runners twice, just because it's a bunch of spare parts I can use for kitbashing.Honestly, I'd mistake it for an official bandai kit if I didn't know beforehand. Plastic doesn't even feel like ABS even though it most likely is
>>23037077>>23037088In all seriousness here's a photo from before the paint. I still need to touch it up, do the other weapons and decal it. Not everything needs paint but I think the kampfer definitely did.
The pbandai x Miku collab is just standees it seems. Barely plamo related.
>>23037171This is the main thing that makes it Gundam "related".
>>23037171They already showed this a while ago though
>>23037155I have one and it barely does anything, but I don't have many alternatives because nobody sells quality pre built spray booths in Europe and it's harder to get the parts for a DIY one - home HVAC is uncommon so there are significantly fewer places selling fans or filters, and the fiberglass filters we use are much harder to mount into a booth than the US style furnace filters and would require building a custom frame to hold them in place
>>23037175Did they? >>23030845 was posted two threads ago. I thought it was new.
>>23037178I think it was announced during summer.
>>23037171damn, pity. Would have spent good money on a 30MS of this Miku
>>23037171>>23037178This was announced last year and already went up for pre-order.
>>23037155mine has a 180cfm fan and it does the job well enough. yeah you need to leave it running for 5-10 mins after you're done to finish extracting all the fumes but so what, lacquer fumes aren't really that dangerous unless you're huffing tons of it constantly
>>23037202>>23037155Just 3D Print your air purifier filters! (note, I have no idea how safe this is but some psycho demonstrated it sucking in smoke).
>>23037005a big coffee mug :)
>>23037005I use a terracotta pot.
Are the paint booths in Amazon worth it
>>23037483
>>23037541Unfathomably based
whats a good introductory vtuber for someone who's just starting to paint
So any ideas on how to make a decent visor?I've started work on my first custom project, a Feddie-conversion Gelgoog inspired by the ones from Thunderbolt. My thinking is that this would be a proposal to recondition captured stocks and be able to convert captured production lines, rather than just a paintjob on a finished unit akin to the ones you see in 0083. AE trying to GM-ise them, basically.For the arms my current plan is GM Custom shoulders bulked up a bit and maybe Ground Gundam parts for the arms themselves, fucked if I know what I'm doing below the waist right now, that's going to need a more intensive rejig.Point is I still don't have a good idea of how to give it a transparent visor piece. I'm using a Char Gelgoog as my base suit and I've already cut away most of the 'squint' that the OYW HG mold has, but that still leaves me needing to fill it.My first thought is a little strip of plastic from a soft drink bottle, hit it with a transparent green or blue from the inside. Then I'd just need to put some kind of greeble behind it and hit it with a metallic.
>>23037568
>>23037568It's gotta be ina.
Baund Doc anon here. This shit has a rubber runner. Never seen that before and its cool as fuck. My question however is can I use panel liner on it?
>>23037583>rubbertry multiprimer, i know it works on polycaps and metal but dont know shit about rubber
>>23037583From my experience with the one on the Zaku II revive I'd be very, very careful. Stuff marks easily and it's basically impossible to actually clean up nubs too.
>>23037583Be super careful when you're cutting the rubber. You really can't clean it up at all. You can use the pen type liners on it but I wouldn't risk the pour type.
>>23037586Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to prime anything. I mostly build while I'm at work between the action. >>23037588>>23037592Noted. This is my first kit that is even remotely new apparently (there's even English in the instructions, which was a fun surprise). I'm glad I asked. Thankfully, I bought a couple markers instead of just the pours. Pic related is what I was planning on
>>23037597Be very conservative with it. The rubber will basically just soak it up, and I don't think there's a great way to clean it out once it happens.
>>23037597That should be fine and it's good that any part with a nub on it will be hidden. Be careful with the marker because that rubber doesn't like letting go of ink once it's on there.
>>23037599>>23037601Alright. Good shit. Thank you!
I gave HG Macross some benefit of the doubt before but man, their sculpt is just so terrible. 15+ kits btw.
>>23037625That’s Bandai HGs for you. They ruin so many designs by avoiding sharp details.
>>23037636Yeah but the confusing thing here is, this is a 15+ HG and SRW HG have quite pointy looks, especially Dygenguar. But that aside, HG Macross have a weird boxy pelvis. These things look dogshit honestly.
>>23037646HG Dygenguar in comparison. There is no way Macross kits are 15+
now i'm not saying Char did nothing wrongbut I AM saying the Federation would have done worse given the opportunity
>>23037655Char is a faggot, but he at least paint his models.not only the federation will snap shit, but they will not clean the nubs.(I don't have that pic)
Are there any upgrade kits or such that I can use to make my HG balls into K types? or F types?
>>23037681with your hands and a tad bit of skill. you can do it anon!
>>23037655Name one thing he did wrong.
>>23037704go AWOL for 47 episodes
>>23037707He was busy, okay?
>>23037681You mean aside from just buying the HG k type? Hope you like scratch building parts.
>halfway done with the weapons >not even a third of way through the shields>only TWO Metal Build-style GN decals left>no third parties sheets that I can find have them at allNow ain't this one big pile of fuck. Damn you CHANG.
>>23037719There's a HG k type? I thought it was just the MG one
>>23037726P-Bandai, but yes.
Conversion kit for RG 2.0
Cockpit hatch.
As I do up this sweet ass Baund Doc, I am reminded that it should've been Four through the series. No need for Rosamia to be the almost literally the same person.
>>23037743Fo should have defected since it will be more interesting to have her battle against the brainwashing while being in AUEG.
>>23037742Lewd
So why is this a RE 100 instead of the usual method of adding more stuff to the Zaku II 2.0 MG
Besides the God, Zeong and the Mk II (Titans) which are the best RGs?
>>23037856I heard Nu pretty good
>>23037850Who cares? The zaku 2.0 inner frame has been beaten to death. I don’t need another fucking zaku with the same inner frame. Re100s are actually pretty cool. They look just as detailed as mg but the engineering is simple.
>>23037856CrossboneNuHi NuSazabiWing Gundam TVRG RX 2.0Just my personal experiences
>>23036417that offset hat looks pretty cool
>bought a can of Revell Fiery Red for my as-yet-incomplete HG Force Impulse and Destiny Spec II custom projects>go work on the Astrays instead>realize that this paint is basically 1:1 for the plastic on the HG M1 Astray and RG Astray Red FrameI love it when serendipity happens.
>>23037959that would be fortunateswatch some of the actual paint somewhere, i want to see if it really does match
>>23037959Hope you know that you need to prime the parts first, otherwise the enamel thinner/lighter fluid is going to eat through the parts and make them brittle as shit.
>>23037646Is this really no good, I was hoping to get it after finishing the show
>>23037646I love how you can even see on that pic that the torso piece is hollow and open on the underside like some cheap toy.
wherems't does he get those big bottlesor is he just buying the tiny 10ml pots 10 at a time and emptying them all into one thing + transfering the label somehow
>>23038031It's just a generic bottle that he slaps the label onto
What are the chances this gets a plastic kit?
https://x.com/sannou300mm/status/1878233396817875181
>>23038039>What are the chancesAlready been confirmed for vsms kit, but it probably won't be until 2027 or 2028 that we'll see it unless volks ditches IMS for good.
>>23037570Yeah, what you're thinking is what I'd do as well. I'm keeping a transparent clear plastic piece for exactly this purpose.As for the legs, I'm thinking maybe the zeta gundam? It's got those bell bottoms like the goog but more federationish?
>>23038108What exactly is left for IMS? Empress Flame? Phantom? There's no way they're gonna make a plastic Yen Xing or Jagd Mirage
>>23037570Could you just start with like a sprite bottle or something in green?
Did the Galbaldy β ever get a Master Grade model?
>>23038209Nope. I think it got an old B-Club 1/100 resin kit though
>>23037081 Its been a long time since Ive been on this thread, how did you go about making the GM land combat type, Id like to make all the OYW GM variants that we have in 1/144 fir price reasons and I have the GM cannon done, and I have this guy with the sniper custom, light armor, and trainer on the back burner and would love to know how you went about it. pic related are some of the ones on the back burner
"thin your paints huhruhr"but if i thin them any further they'll be literal waterthe only paints i have pooling issues with already come thin out of the bottlethe paints i actually like using are fairly thick and very opaque and require literally a single drop to paint most of a HG's entire leg solid
>>23038253I've gone back and forth with this, and it seems like it's only necessary to thin paints after they've aged for a couple months.
>>23037990Honestly, no. You can cut it some slack because Fire Valkyrie is not that spiky or sharp to begin with, but the kit has many ugly spots that you can't fix such as the huge boxy pelvis. Bandai tried to shove in as much articulation as they could and it raped the design as usual.
>>23037990The PLAMAX one looks quite nice
>>23038224Well that's annoying.I THINK the HGUC Galbaldy model was the actual first one? Probably not easy to find that now.
>>23038404I did a quick check and three stores have it in stock here in Canuckistan.
it's a fucking diceroll on whether any given paint is solid paste or traslucent liquid shit
Ran out of time. Really underestimated how much time panels while building would take. I have to color the thrusters I'm building now and panels the shit out of the underside of the skirt. Tomorrow night the BD flies!
>>23038513i... actually really like that designyeah it's kinda goofy but at the same time it feels believable, like the byarlant
I give upI'm gonna buy a chinkshit electric airbrush
>>23038466Have you tried not buying old bottles of paint and properly mixing them?
>>23037568this is a bizarre question
>>23038125i think they've been talking about doing 1.5s of some of the old kits like they did with the schpeltor personally i'd like them to make a 1/100 a-toll. i have the 1/144 but it's one of my favourite mhs. a plastic cloud schatze would be nice too. i'd also buy a sirene r and groon but i don't think those are very popular so i don't see them happening
I tried to weather Baskyrotto's Royroy mini mech with flat brown wash and it turned out ok, i guess?
>>23038253>>23038466let me guess, water based acrylics?>>23038551just get a real airbrush and compressor, you'll outgrow the chinkshit battery powered thing very quickly assuming the brush doesn't break first. even if the brush doesn't break you'll have nothing but problems with it
>>23038598>waterbased acrylicsyeah, vallejoi think this might be my fault for not checking what each color ismore specifically, i foolishly assumed that their air or mecha color lines were specifically the airbrush lines, but like half the regular mini color line is also airbrush shit
>>23038606in my experience vallejo is terrible for gunpla. they're comparable to dollar store acrylics for airbrushing. I had given up on them entirely and now use exclusively mr.color. If you'd rather avoid lacquers, try tamiya or mr.hobby aqueous acrylics, heard AK are pretty good too.
>>23038613the ones that i've used that have what feels like a "normal" acrylic consistency have been very nice, actually, at least for brushing, and i want to mainly focus on that with airbrushing only for base coats and the like
>>23038613>>23038625i haven't tried them but mr hobby also do a pure waterbased line called acrysion, i've heard they're very good for waterbased paints
>>23038613I have very good experience with vallejo but I brush paint.
>>23038653>>23038613if someone had a bad experience airbrushing vallejo he used the model paint line and didn't thin them enoughwhich is double retarded because vallejo has an entire line of paints specifically for airbrushing, and another line that is even more specifically for airbrushing mecha models (vallejo air and vallejo mecha color respectively)
>>23038654I've used their air and mecha colors, had a good consistency and didn't have much trouble spraying them on. but the main reason i stopped using them is that they're very weak after drying (which also takes unecessarily long) and have poor quality finish
Hey, I could use some advice: I'm not a big Gunpla guy (I like them but I live in a small apartment without a lot of space to display them) but I want to have like 2-3 models of my favorite mechs from the franchise. Since I'm sticking to such a small number I want only their best versions and I'm lost with how many there are. I'd like to start with the Wing Zero Custom/EW, then get a Kampfer, a GM (preferably some later armed up variant, but not Sniper) and finally an Unicorn (but in it's base form, not the destroy mode, if one exists).Any tips appreciated, thanks.
>>23038665not sure about wing, but kampfer has only two older HG and MG kits. both of them aren't bad.GM has many kits including several modern ones. just pick the one you like the most, more often than not you'll end up with a good kit.To my knowledge RG unicorn is the latest unicorn kit and also the best. it can be tranformed between modes.
what do you guys use to cut clear plastic?
>>23038625you sure you didn't misread the bottles? the labels look very similarin my experience the color line has consistent consistency across colors, but anything "air" or "fluo" are prethinned
>>23038653Based brush chad. Can we see a example?
>>23036899if you're a midget/live in midge housing
>>2303785600 Raiser is absolutely cram packed with various parts and weapons. Best plastic to money ratio ive come across, there is a shit ton crammed into the box
>>23036904you clearly missed the nose clip
>>23038701only kids think that bigger = better
>>23038706manlet opinion
>>23038665Look for the most recent release of the wing zero EW. Its the katoki version, came out a few years back. Its the best EW Wing IMO. Good centerpiece
>>23038706Girls do too
>>23038687Bronze Green and French Mirage Blue are definitely labeled "model color"
>>23038706What about Hexa gear? It has both giant kiddy mechs and super small soldiers for the boomers.
>>23038714All women, with the possible exception of those who've accepted the responsibilities of motherhood, are children, mentally. It doesn't matter how old they are, how many wrinkles they have or how dry and saggy their tits and beef curtains get. They're always spoiled 13 year olds deep down until they start living for their family instead of themselves.
>>23038693The kampfer posted earlier in the thread was me. It's not finished though, and needs some touchup and topcoat still.
>>23038725>They're always spoiled 13 year olds deep down until they start living for their family instead of themselves.Imagine living for the family and nolonger having selfishness and self preservation of a human being.
>>23038725Weak troll.
>>23038730you still replied, so he has power over you
>>23038725Based trvthnvke
>>23038732So do I have power over you, then?
>>23038730Not even joking, these tradcucks don't even live up to 1% of what they usually sperg about because obviously, living as an absolute cuck for the sake of the imaginary responsibility is not the way to spend the rest of your life on.
>>23038725On the one hand this is true. On the other hand, deep down, men are just 7 year olds who want to play with their toys all day.
>>23038725>>23038749This is actually true for 99% of ALL people not just women. Especially most of you retarded manchildren. In the wild not a single one of you would be considered a 'man.'
>>23038727Nice anon. I also enjoy brush painting, super relaxing. I love seeing it come together. il post some of my builds when I have access to my camera
>>23038751And are you? You are still typing shits on the internet instead of living your life as a trad husband with full responsibility to work 12 hours a day.
>>23038763Yep I'm an autistic man baby just like you. What i am doesn't change what you are, faggot.
>>23038763Nope I acknowledge I’m a man child and I’m proud of it
>>23038701No you're just fat
>>23038727 Vallejo Gunmetal Blue? Be mindful of a matte topcoat on the blue, ive painted a kit with the same blue and the topcoat took away a bit of its metallic look
>>23038774I’d be surprised if 10% of people here weren’t fat
>>23038775Yeah it's mostly that but I also added some red and silver to it to try and get closer to the original kampfer color. I'm planning on doing a gloss topcoat on this one. Normally I prefer everything matte but I want this one shiny.>>23038759I just put on audio books and zone out while I do it. I don't go in with any real plan.>>23038780I'm fat so it checks out.
>>23038782Yeah me too honestly
Is MG Barbie's armor a slide in or clasp on top? wondering if i could just staple it all on an assembled frame without detaching arms and legs later but i wanna be sure
>>23038541Still prefer the original alien version.
>>23038789MG has full innerframe so you can remove the shell entirely without touching the content inside.
>>23038789the instruction manuals are literally online for free and stupidly easy to find anon
>>23038665The newest wing zero release is the best one. There's not a really great beginner friendly kampfer Both designs are dated and have some pretty offensive nub marks because of the color and gating. As far as unicorn goes, the master grade ones have a transformation gimmick so you can display it in either mode. It's hard to go wrong with any of the jims.
Am I crazy for thinking the Armored Core 6 model kits by Bandai look like complete ass?
>>23038818no, you're just silly
What model kit manufacturers make mecha model kits of their own designs?
>>23038818Damn, now that's a very unique take you got there.
>>23038818Congratulations, you woke up.
>>23038821>>23038824Can't tell if sarcasm or you're all being serious.
>>23038831Not that guy but literally everybody in gpg has been shitting on the bandai ac kits for a weekI personally think they look fine but apparently I'm a minority
Guys I have a question. So I just got back on my pc after a day and I had the old gunpla thread pulled up and after we moved to this one someone has been posting pictures of box arts. What is the meaning of this?
>>23038839trying to kill the old thread faster maybe
>>23038840but it's past the bump limit already. also why would they want to kill it faster anyway?
post paintgod kinos
>>23038837I think Koto already set a standard on how AC kits should look like, in spite of how most of people dunk on them due to their bad fitment. So when Bandai revealed their AC kits with their usual HG visual weaknesses, it is like a cultural shock.
what is the point of translucent bronze-green paintif i'm using bronze green i want to use it to put rust on something bronzemotherfucker
>>23038845>it is like a cultural shock.to like five bozos in this thread lmao
>>23038818no, this is the common consensus
>>23038823kotobukiyabandaia bunch of chinks
>>23038847Yeah it is 5 bozos and not bunch of angry Japanese relentlessly shit on it.
>>23038859you are projecting your own neurotic behavior onto that post
JMS G-Line bootleg is SEXMore hands, extra shield and parts separated crotch marking. Unironically better than the Bandai kit, let alone the shitty other bootleg.
>>23038862Let me ask you a question. Why do people sharpen Steel Haze's head? If it looks good, no one would have done that.
>>23038864You lack reading comprehension, anon. Nobody said it's wrong to sharpen or modify it to fit your vision better. But that twitter fella is not having a mental breakdown over it like you are.
>>23038866>it's wrong to sharpen or modify it to fit your vision better.The jap literally said the kit is inaccurate to the game, not his personal headcanon. You seem to be the one with dyslexia here, bud.
>>23038863How's the fitment? I heard their GM Spartan bootleg had issues with stuff being way too loose.
>>23038869please point out where he's "relentlessly shitting on it"
>>23038873There are alot of GM Spartan bootlegs. The JMS ver is probably the best one. Its only weakness is probably the forehead sensor being abit loose, but the rest feels like Bandai's level of fitment. JMS is legit and you should try some of their bootlegs.
Question, how well do gundam markers work when you apply primers first?
>>23038875>Hate the appearance so hard, the Jap had to change it and even made a statement>D-D-Doesn't count!Yeah gunplafags don't sand the safetyflag because they think the nub look stupid, it is just " in my vision", right?
>>23038881I already have the XFS GM Spartan on the wayI'll consider some JMS stuff too
>>23038885Aren't they acrylics in marker form? They should work fine. They work fine even on bare plastic.
>>23038888Bare ABS might suffer from it.
>>23038888>They work fine even on bare plastic.yeah about that, Ive been having this problem where some of them come off as splochy and inconsistant coats even when airbrushed >>23038891I see, Ill take note
>>23038886my god you really are silly
>>23038886I cut safety flags but I don't hate them anon.This guy isnt shitting out his eyes seething like you are. He's modifying his kit. Hate was never a part of it.
>>23038887JMS's FM Aerial is pretty good, too. The only weakness is the meme Engrisk decals.
>>23038894>I cut safety flags but I don't hate them anon.If you don't hate them then why not keeping them?
>>23038892>even when airbrushed>Marker>Even when airbrushedAre you using that marker airbrush converter thing?
>>23038899yeah, but I am also using the physical marker to have a certain brush stroke flow on purpose
>>23038898gr8 b8 m8if you aren't baiting I pray your sanity will be recovered inshallah >hurrdurr if you would prefer something a different way that means you HATE the original
>>23038858Anyone else? What's Motor Nuclear and that one with Knights in the name? I also remember reading one manufacturer not Bandai has an anime or manga series made.
I don't get why people are so mad about safety flags. It takes less than a minute to remove them if you dont like them.
>>23038924It's just one guy getting butthurt angry over their very existence. He seems to hate them so much he is projecting his hatred onto other people.
>>23038924manufactured outrage is an entire industry nowadays
>>23038927>>23038926I'm going to get a kit without them and add them to it one of these days.
>>23038933holy based anon
>>23038924I get why that "one" guy doesn't like them. Entirely unnecessary and is just another failure point you have to deal with.
>>23038924It’s not just safety flags. All the detail on the model is changed to remove sharp edges that kids can hurt themselves on, making the model look simple and toylike
>>23038887the XFS GM spartans fitment is a bit too tight, which is the better option. but that might just be a lucky batch i got
>>23038920Answer me before a new thread gets made?
>>23038653The new Vallejo paints are pretty great through the airbrush, but I've never used them for gunpla
>>23038938yeah that's fine by me, can always sand it down a bit here and there
>>23038774short fingers typed this post
>>23038899nta but I've airbrushed gundam markers before. By pressing them against the cup and letting the ink pour in with some retarder. They don't need a primer and the metal ones look better than mr.color imo
>>23038936The retards always try to cope when it comes to soft edges and safetyflags. I cannot imagine how they would react if one day, Bandai figured it out the way to make them unremovable.
>>23038933do it on chinkkino to really prove your point
>>23038924I'm calling you a faggot. It takes you 0 second to get over ( hopefully ), but that does not mean you like it and must be fine with it.
I have sanded more safety flags than the amount of cocks faggots in this thread have sucked, but i still fucking hate safetyflags. I will chop off every soft edges, even when those soft edges are canon and have 10 episodes of sobber storyarc to justify their existence.
>>23038965>I have sanded more safety flags than the amount of cocks faggots in this thread have suckedI doubt that ;3
>>23038967Fair. The homosexual bodycount of anons around here is way to much.
>>23038965why do you have an irrational hatred of a piece of plastic anon? when is the last time you went outside?
>>23038859>model kit encourages you to do actual modeling workWhy is this bad?If you want something that looks good OOB buy a figure
>>23038968>homosexualheehee ;3 ;3 ;3
>>23038973SHAMONE
>>23038971>If you want something that looks good OOB buy a figureThe point of modelkits is that they look good even as runners, unlike figure and toys which their appearance is subjected to change depends on the target audience. I know the mecha stuff is just so muddled in artistic intepretation, but modelkits in general are not allowed to have extremely altered appearance. You cannot never bother to look what's happening outside of their echo chamber yet they act like their own baby toy brand is the ultimate standard.
>>23038973Trannies and homos are all the same shit
>>23038863to quote, they give dick v-fin
>>23038981Huh, so the PBandai kit used sticker for it.
>>23038979el-oh-el
>>23038977this looks like resin, unless they're like 1/12 scale
>>23038977Meanwhile actual modeling boomers shit on manufacturers like Tamiya for overengineering their kits and actually want flaws built into the kit because they have fun fixing them
>>23038987Ywnbarw
>>23038991No, they are just PS plastic, Tamiya mainly use it. Also, 1/35 scale. If you are curious, yes, Tamiya kits have alot of sharp and pointy parts, but then again, these kits require hobby drill, glue and bunch of dangerous shits.
>>23038992Most of those are Airfix/Revell masochists and their words shouldn't be taken seriously, just like any other boomers. Consume crap and your brain become crap.
>>23038992Those boomers dismiss snapfit modelkit including gunpla in a heartbeat. They don't like good fitment, which Tamiya does this wonderfully inspite of the glue requirement. Still, they love the good looking sculpt, something Bandai always lack.
>>23038559answer it.
>>23037568me but nowadays i'm too busy erping to do the hobby stuff on stream
For me the keys to a good build is just being in a good place mentally when working on it, ie. having fun. Then I really just let the antisemitism, transphobia and my gripes about the dating economy flow freely into what I'm doing
>>23039015Kek
>>23038823There are some oc "Titanomachia" kits from moderoid but I dunno if that counts. The designs were made just for the models but afaik NAOKI isn't a goodsmile employee. >>23038920For chinese brands with multiple OC mecha kits: Motor Nuclear, SNAA, Hemoxian, Orange Cat Industries, Cang-toys, Canned Squad Unit (they're SD sized)>that one with Knights in the nameKnights and Magic isn't an OC line, it's a jap light novel isekai series that got a (bad 3DCG) anime. There's already a few moderoid kits and Hemoxian is doing another one of Ikaruga (pic related).
>>23038665Wing Zero Custom: The most recent one is the MG Ver. Ka from 2020. If you're strapped for space, a RG from 2014 exists. The PG is very dated, afraid I don't know much about it.Kampfer: Your options are terrible unfortunately, either the MG from 2001 (it has screws in the shoulders I think) or the HGUC from 2008. The HGUC is probably the better bet for you.GM: There's a very good MG from 2009 that's you can build to look like the original anime or MS Igloo. The original HGUC is from 2001 and very old and dated (and thus has terrible limb motion), but it is stupidly cheap at ten bucks apiece so it's easy to build an army. As for variants, you have a shitload of options from Thunderbolt versions to Origin versions. You'll have to do your own research unfortunately.Unicorn: The best MG is the 2010 OVA version (it's molded more accurately to the anime and never had to have the shitty knees replaced), while the RG from 2017 is well spoken of. The PG is kind of a brick in that you won't be able to pose the arms well due to how heavy they are. If you only care about Unicorn Mode and want to save some money, the HGUC from 2009 doesn't transform.
>>23039010sounds like a perfect life anon
>>23039020>There's a very good MG from 2009not with that fucked up waist
>>23038404It got a new HGUC that's still pretty cheap and easy to find.
>>23039020The master grade kampfer also has screws in the elbows and knees.
>>23039020Kampfer HG is perfectly fine, good even.
>>23039020Oh, the HGUC is 2008? For some reason I thought it was like 2004 or something. Either way the HG is fine. Some limited articulation but no major issues.
the articulation on these HG Zaku Warriors is justseverely limited to put it nicely
>>23039040They also love to drop the heat pipes on the legs.
>>23039040like I'm pretty sure I got a lemonbecause the legs on the Gunner Warrior keep falling offlike the polycaps connecting the calves to the knees are way too looseI'm just gonna glue the legs and cannibalize it for the big gun
>>23039044Try putting a few layers of paint or topcoat on the part that goes into the polycap. It'll tighten it up a bit.
Redpill me on 1/100 chinkpla
>>23039051as long as you can do basic ass modeling and arent a hapless bandaibaby snapshitter you wont have any problems
only thing higher than the toxin levels in your bloodstream will be the kino levels on your shelves
>>23039051The knockoffs are like the stuff bandai makes but worse. The "original" designs are usually overly busy and meant to appeal to simple minded people like that retard who keeps posting that "tallgeese"
>>23039063rent free
>>23038814>>23038815alright thanks, wanted to make sure
>>23039069god this looks so good. i'd get one if it was 1/144
>>23039069
>>23039073i'm not the one throwing a fit about someone else's posts two threads ago
>>23039069bro are you STILL insisting this is a Tallgeese? it looks deliberately similar yes there's no denying that but come on it's absolutely not a Tallgeese
>>23039075I called you a retard once.
>>23039063When I think Chinese knockoffs I think of the shit with a bunch of spikes and a superfluous dragon flying in the background. That 1/60 Monument Rebuild piece of shit isn't a Tallgeese and I refuse to acknowledge it as such.
>>23039076Are you deliberately being this dense or are you just autistic? Its unmistakably a Tallgeese
>>23039076sorry anon but i'm not autistic enough to say "legally distinct model designed to resemble but not identical to the Tallgeese" every time
>>23039081And this is unmistakably pikachu
>>23039081No it isn't. It looks nothing like the Tallgeese. It looks like someone took a completely unrelated design and haphazardly added Tallgeese-like features to it.
>>23039080surely in a decade they will learn that sometimes less is morei really want to like red strike freedom aka nemesis but each wing segment being an overly large weapon just bloats it too much on the backpack. Meanwhile Lizard is almost good if not for too much armor sliding and the dual linked gatlings with giant fuck off axes
>>23039081alright at this point I'm convinced you're just trolling or fucking stupid. you ignored the part where I said it's undeniably trying to look like one just so you can continue arguing. actually I take that back - I think you're trying to troll but too stupid to do it effectively. 'hurdur im a retard and making you guys mad' isn't trolling.
>>23039087>It looks nothing like the TallgeeseAre you visually impaired?
>>23039091no just massively autistic to the point he feels the physical urge to sperg out about anything that doesn't 1:1 exactly match his mental image of that thing
>>23039091you're retarded
look at this overdesigned chang piece of shitoh wait that's official concept art of the Tallgeese Flugel from the Glory of the Losers Manga
buying bootlegs of premium bandai kits is hurting bandai namco. You are committing financial terrorism.
The head, shoulders, chest, torso, waist, arms, location of the shield and gun all retain the same form of the original Tallgeese but with more pg level detail. The only thing that’s different is the legs but even they retain some similarities.
>>23039101stop, anon, it already makes me horny anyway
>>23039100it's just a tallgeese with wings. the thing you're defending with your life looks nothing like a tallgeese
that's it I'm buying the changgeese
>>23039100But this is actually a tallgeese and it's designed well. It's not some shitty legally distinct knockoff.By the way, here's obama. It says it's obama so it is. I will not accept that it's a strange knockoff product capitalizing on something people like.
>>23039110Changgeese doesn’t even claim to be a Tallgeese though. It calls itself monument repair type.
"People" who think that the Monument Rebuild looks like Tallgeese, would take a cooking recipe that requires lemons and replace the lemon with orange because they're both round fruits with tough exterior skins and a segmented interior with seeds.
the comically fake autism tantrum over the bootleg tallgeese is pretty funny ngl
>>23039117he's gonna reply to this with 'rEnT fReE'
>>23039110this is literally the opposite of what is actually happeningthe model kit is clearly a tallgeese, everyone can see it's a tallgeese, and you're insisting that it's totally not a tallgeese you guise because the design was altered to make it more compatible with PG-style ultra-detailed design languageyour retarded argument is equivalent to someone seeing a high-fidelity render of sonic and going "this isn't sonic his arms aren't skin coloured and his quills aren't bunched into seven spikes" kill yourself
>>23039121holy shit you're fucking retarded. apply for disability
>>23039100god i love him
>>23039124fuck's sake anon why do you have to make this weirdly sexual
>>23039121It was altered to appeal to retards and be legally distinct. The design is just worse than a real one in every way.>>23039115This is called famous rodent so it's all good.
>>23039101>You are committing financial terrorismYes, that's intentional.
>>23039110Holy shit, it's Obama.
>>23039118anon is complaining because it's NOT a bootleg, it's an original third party designthe g-line is a bootleg
>>23039069Nice Zaku.
>>23039132case in point lol, we all know it's tallgeese. Quacks like a duck (goose?) and all that. Still, it's a good bit.
>>23039132>it's an original third party design>original
"People" who think that the Monument Repair Type isn’t a Tallgeese would say this isn’t an Exia and that it’s just a greebled knockoff with Exia features added as an afterthought
>>23039115>it calls itself monument repair typeYeah because they think that if they don't call it Tallgeese bandai won't sue them lol.
>>23039138they would sperg about an official new PG if you magically got prototype images of one and showed it to them and said it was third party
>>23039137yeah, they sculpted their own alternate version of the tallgeese rather duping bandai's modeling work
>>23039141Yup. They would say this isn’t a gundam either because actual gundams don’t have tits or something
>>23039138At this point it's 1-2 retards - probably the same ones that post "kino" all fucking day that realized they have some new bait they can use.
>>23039139i thought it was really funny how the solomon gp02 had an extra oc not-gundam head in the box they used on the boxart, and any pics with the regular head were blurred/pixellated out
>>23039143And these wonderful chinese businessmen sculpted their own original electric rodent.
>>23039147Why do they even care? Since when have chinks cared about respecting copyright? I mean guys like daban just straight copy Bandai shit and nobody cares.
>>23039145stop samefagging retard
I did a big no no and got bit in the ass for it>assembled head to see how it looks before panel lining beacause stupid adhd dopamine addicted monkey brain>didn't disassemble it before panel lining because stupid "it's going to be fine" monkey brain>panel line it>it inevitably cracks like crazy>try to salvage it>still visible but somewhat less obvious from afar>"oh shit i forgot to panel line some shit here">repeat the same exact mistake with another piece>it cracks>a chestplace piece manages to also split apart probably from stress from assembly and weakening from panel linerLuckily it was a 10$ bootleg from aliexpressI bought another one for spare parts.
>>23039150it might get removed from third-party storefronts if it's too blatant
>>23039153it's cute how dumb you are
>>23039150>Since when have chinks cared about respecting copyright?Well the cops raided XFS so clearly someone paid them enough bribes to care at least temporarily.
>>23039153it cracked BECAUSE it's an aliexpress bootleg, they use ABSshould've clear coated it first
>>23039156aren't they already up and running again? le mayo
>>23039153>Luckily it was a 10$ bootleg from aliexpressanon, chinese bootlegs are usually 100% absenamel panel liner fucks abs up way harder than polystyrenejust make your own acrylic wash
>>23039138Exia>a few added panel lines and additional shade of blue>more angular design on cockpit hatch and shoulders"Tallgeese">different color scheme>completely different legs>some resemblance in the chest but weirdly compact and jutting out>different shoulders>weirdly hourglassy arms>round elbow cup>completely different back thrusters>completely different weapons>weird pompadour instead of the relatively simple tallgeese plumeYou are either blind or dishonest, please shill your chinkshit somewhere else.
>>23039158JMS too. but I guess they both changed names after getting their slap on the wrist
>>23039157>>23039159Maybe i got lucky but all the panel lining that i did on the individual pieces went smoothly, it's only when i tried to correct errors and directly panel lined assembled pieces that they cracked.
>>23039150>>23039154Yeah, like this anon said. A lot of these kits are starting to appear on USA Gundam store (as an example) and other local stores so they're trying to walk the razor's edge to keep them on the figurative shelves without getting C&D'd for either the store or the makers - with the latter not caring as much.
>>23039153wouldn't diluted Citadel wash not crack ABS?
>>23039161>Different color schemebro?
what a cool original design (not bootleg!!!)
AIEEEEE BANDAI SAVE ME FROM CLEAR PLASTIC TALLGEESE PLUME
>>23039161I will give you the legs are different. But the arms and shoulders are distinctly similar to original Tallgeese. The other stuff is just nitpicky. If it’s pretty much the same Tallgeese body but with new color scheme backpack and weapon set, it’s just a new tallgeese.
>>23039172The (not) Tallgeese is actually one of the top rows of results for me simply image searching Tallgeese lmao.
>>23039172It's hardly a new color scheme. The original TV version is almost identically colored.
bandaibabies are able to sperg about a tallgeese with slightly different legs for 5 threads in a row, but when bandai releases a ver.ka that looks nothing like the original design, they'll happily slurp that shit up without second thought
>>23039177yep <3
>>23039177>but when bandai releases a ver.ka that looks nothing like the original design,This is about zeta isn't it?
I have no proof but I think the "banaibabies" poster is the same guy who is currently trolling about the Monument (Tallgeese) repair type.
>>23039177maybe they should've just named it Strangework Monument Ver.Ni (for Nilson since half the time they brand it as Nilson Works)
can someone tell me why pb calibarn permet 5 is more expensive than the normal calibarn when the later has more options? is just because pb?
>>23039182It's because pb.
>>23039180I have no proof but I think the guy pretending to sperg out about the PG Tallgeese is the same guy constantly posting about paintkinos, snapshitters, and longsnapping
>>23039177Bandaibabies are so used to no detail hgs they will sperg about bootlegs for not being faithful when they add a little bit of greeble and sharper edges
>>23039185I wish that was true but I fear there's quite a few trolls here
>>23039186All the famous sharp edges on the Tallgeese.
>>23039185I agree with that.
>>23039190No you see they added 100 bits and bobs to it this makes it better.
>>23039197>>23039190samefag
>>23039180It's the same guy who forces an argument. He just rotates his shitposting.
>>23039200also inb4 inspect element screenshot
This is 100 bits and bobs anon’s favorite model kit
>>23039200I'm sorry that you think there's only one person here who thinks the knockoff Tallgeese you fawn over so much looks like shit meant to appeal to Chinks who huff Sneed jenkem all day.
>>23039204kinky
>>23039202>>23039201>>23039200
>release only in some theaters only in japan>absolutely no info on actual airing datesThey're actually making P-Bandai shows nowAlso I wish the kit looked as femme as in this poster
>>23039207it's a pre-release motherfucker
>>23039207>release only in some theaters only in japan>P-Bandai showsIt's called a MOVIE dude.
This thing is big.
At what point did you realise that Gundams are boring?
>>23039207>some theaters>426
>>23039203Yes.
>>23039214I was born thinking Gundams are boring. When I first got into gunpla I actually refused to buy any Gundams and only wanted grunts - especially Zeon grunts. I bent the knee though.
We DESERVED an FM Calibarn.
>>23039213Even the model has a gay limp wrist
>>23039215>all in Japan
>>23039224.... because he put it in that po- you know what forget it.
>>23039214After the first one
>>23039225yeah just like yamato, there was a movie cut of the first few episodes as an early screening before the whole thing released normally. Just like how they already announced GQuX will work.
>>23039217I'm starting to have less interest with new gundams that stick with the recognizable design and want more of the weird and interesting mobile suits.
>>23039222I wonder how hard it would be to design and print armour panels for it that can just be tacked over the fm aerial frame. The 3d model for the calibarn is already online (leaked from metaverse I think)
All the shitposting about the monument repair type, I am trying to find a side by side of it and the MG Tallgeese and I cannot find anything. No videos, nothing. However, someone made a Tallgeese 3 custom out of it it seems.
>>23039228I can’t watch it yet
>>23039229Agreed, and I think the tards at bandai might be thinking the same thing because now we're getting stupid shit like Gcucks proclaiming itself a gundam.
>>23039208for a release that still has no date and could be months away>>23039210do you even know what we're talking about>>23039215all in the same country because fuck the rest of the fanbasethough i'll admit i'm done paying for theater tickets anyways
>>23039229I like weird and interesting as long as it’s good. Cucks is not good.
>>23039236no one is saying it's a gundam, though if it was up to me i'd say fuck it they look like this now
>>23039239mfw when I artificially manufacture outrage on the internet
>>23039239I’m with you anon. This is fucking retarded that there’s new gundam shit I can’t watch
>>23039249literally just wait another month or two
>>23039242What do you consider good then
>>23039249hasn't this been a problem the franchise had ever since the begining? I remember some series coming out on blurays overseas only recently
>>23039222wouldnt be surprised if it got mg spot instead inb4 its aerial rebuilt
>>23039252narrative and unicorn
>>23039252ZZ, Victory, Turn A, G-Reco all have lots of good designs
>>23039232And outside of the completely custom weapons, you can tell that they replaced well over 30% of the parts to make it even resemble a Tallgeese.
>>23038839Some spammer likes to fill up the image limit on various generals on /m/ after a new thread has been created "to stop duel from spamming" or some bullshit we've never had a problem with. Report it, but mods don't usually care about /m/ etiquette and only delete sitewide rulebreaking posts so it may not do anything. The guy thanking the spammer is also the spammer.
>>23039232mine's still in transit. i'll do some side by sides when it arrives (probs next week). but no one will probably care by then.
>>23039274I hope it gets fucked up in customs
>>23039236It took me like 20 seconds to understand what was happening in that picture. Why the fuck looks like a hand? It's going to copy the Big Bang Punch from Shin Mazinger?
>>23039246>no one is saying it's a gundamThen what the fuck is it?
I just want you all to know that if hlj doesn't fulfill my gcucks order in the first batch I am going to turn this thread into Columbine.
>>23039264No shit they replaced the parts retard, the Tallgeese 3 looks different than the Tallgeese.
>>23039291It's an Eva cosplaying as a Gundam.
>>23039291it's just a g cuck. it's only a gundam if it has gundam in the name.
>>23039296>>23039297Ah, naruhodo.
>>23039264smartest /m/ poster
>>23039291It's gonna give gundam a swirlie and call it a nerd.
>>23039300in short, it hasn't been officially labeled as a gundam so it's not a gundam. gundams usually have to have gundam in their name. like gundam aerial, burning gundam, gundam mk-ii. while stuff like the hyaku shiki is not a gundam.
>>23039260peak contrariancore, got it
>>23039291most probably a suit specifically made for the underground fights thingThe kit box specs don't label it as a gundam so it's not a gundam
>>23039290What looks like a hand? The thruster on the right foot, which is kicked forwards?
>>23039308Granted, a mobile suit like the Hyaku Shiki was never revealed as the titular robot like this thing has been.>>23039314It's ugly as sin and a mess of design but at least it's not a Gundam (so far). So it has that going for it.
speaking of hands...
>>23039314Is g-saviour a gundam?
>>23039324I audibly laughed when I first noticed that it has the retard babby low detail hands.
>>23039236I hate this guy because he looks like a skier
I bought a 14 dollar Ortlinde on Aliexpress, am I fucked?
>>23039327Is Re-GZ a gundam?
I have no proof but I think the handposter is the same guy who has been trolling about the Monument Tallgeese,GQuX's design, paintkinos and shapshitters.
>>23039337has to be the same guy shitposting about longsnapping too
>V FinIt's a Gundam.
>>23039335Yeah. The GZ stands for gundam zeta.
I have no proof but I think the "I have no proof" poster is the same guy who has been trolling about the hands, Monument Tallgeese,GQuX's design, paintkinos, shapshitters, and longsnapping
I have no proof but I think the "I have no proof" poster has been huffing plastic dust and paint fumes for too long
>>23039341so does the g in gcucks stand for gundam then?
>>23039343must be the same guy that's been making longsnap shitposts too
>>23039341A GM isn’t a gundam tho
>>23039345jumpwind metallics taste the best
>>23039348uhhhh yes it is. it's literally a gundam mass production type
>>23039353FUCK.
>>23039343nah one of these is me
>>23039346Probably.>>23039348Yes it is.
>>23039353That doesn't make sense when the Gundam MK II is the mass production type?
>>23039343Yeah we know. It's the same retard everytime.
>>23039236this thing is legitimately clown color schemed. >white body (white skin paint)>big red V fin (goofy red clown hair)>blue parts all over body (goofy clown outfit)>big stupid ugly feet (clown shoes)
>>23039340No it isn't.
>>23039357There are several different mass production types.
>>23039348>>23039353It's Gundam Mass Production type, it's Gundam type Mass-production model. GM isn't a Gundam, it's a Gundam type. It has similar characteristics, but doesn't fit the bill.
You're all the same posterI have unmasked you, zakuaurelius
So is this a gundam if this is a gm and a gm is a gundam
>>23039361Gundam Astray isn't a gundam?
>>23039363Meant to say it's NOT Gundam Mass Production type, it's Gundam type Mass-production model
>>23039368>>23039363If it has the name gundam, it’s a gundam
>>23039291It's GQuuuuuuX.
>>23039367That's the mass-produced M1 Astray that was the grunt suit used by Orb in Seed. Astray Red Frame is the prototype that it's based on.
>>23039365This is definitely a gundam
>>23039340>>23039361
>>23039365It's just pretty far removed from the family.
>>23039367>>23039373They look similar on the surface, but the Astray Red Frame is an entirely different MS.
>>23039377This is a strike gundam derivative.
>>23039377Is it a gundam if the last 3 letters are “-dam”?
>>23039377>>23039361>SeedDoesn't count.
>>23039387The entire nation of Japan disagrees with you
>>23039390Is that a province in China?
>>23039391No that’s Taiwan
>>23039170yeah this is a great one, i wanna get it some time
>>23039365no that's a dragon
>>23039185but i'm the one who keeps trying to bring back longsnapping and i always post about snapping together chinkgodkinos
>>23039222Decent chance it still happens, failing that an MG of Suletta's three machines seems like a safe bet down the line.Honestly I have no idea why Bandai's dragged its feet on that shit, I know it's not the old days when you were drowning in 1/100 NGs before the show even ended but HG Aerial and Calibarn are still quick sellers whenever they come back in, at least around here.I maintain that they weren't really equipped for WfM, Seed Freedom, that Netflix show and now the new AU thing all back to back and it hurt their output for all of them.
>>23039408Corona fucked their production schedule up and they're just starting to get their shit back together.
>>23039408New mg releases have been on a downwards trend since age failed
>>23039408you really don't get just how badly covid fucked over the world
>>23039411This is complete bullshit by the way.
>>23039418I don't think you understand how badly it fucked everything up in asia.
>>23039324It's fine anon, you'll get proper hands for it in PB Expansion pack
>>23039422I find it funny that bandai adds on all these chink tier greeble and engineering and then for the part that will ultimately bring the whole thing together with the weapons, you get lego grips. Though I guess if they work that's still better than shit like my poor Zaku 1 that can't even hold its own weapons.
>>23039422crazy how that's not even a shitpost
>>23039408>but HG Aerial and Calibarn are still quick sellers whenever they come back in, at least around hereHG kits are low risk sells if the product lacks staying power. In the case of WfM, a good chunk of the LGBTQ/DEI community that got in on Gundam with this one entry aren't going to continue watching, even with a female protagonist in GQuuuuuux. But they'll buy Aerial and Calibarn kits, where HG makes it a relatively low-cost purchase. $25 bucks apiece is a significantly lower ask than $50 for a Full Mechanics Aerial. None of them are going to buy a Darrilbalde or Dilanza or Zowort or Michalis, even a HG, so there's no point in making a Full Mechanics of them.
>>23039424you either get accurate hand sculpts that can't hold anything and are only usable with the kit they come with or general square hands that look passably good while holding on tight to most weapons even from other kits
>>23039440source: your ass
I only have 3 hours left to paint before the sun goes down
>>23039447Anon, this might be crazy to hear but it's gonna come up again.
>>23039448you been lied to nigga
ahh, its so dark and scary when I close my eyes. where us thr light?
>>23039448How do you know?
>>23039454I... I don't.
I wanna make a build dedicated to thighs
>>23039460Thighs anon has been doing that for a while
>>23039308can't wait to see char's evagundam
>>23039480I don't think Char is going to be in it. Most likely it will be a char clone of some sort (as dumb as it sounds) but not the og char
>>23039480Since you can’t wait I’ll just show it to you
>>23039486god I can't wait for the MG
>>23039487Sorry I don’t have one to show you because they don’t make mg anymore. I’ll post it when they announce one in 7 years
I wish Trump would discontinue the MG line
>>23039492with 60% tarriff on every purchase it might as well be discontinued t. poorfig
My mg gouf 2.0 is in customs
>>23039487It'll be a full mechanics kit, with the funnel set being pbandai
>>23039511>with the funnel set being pbandaiBASED
>>23039511I cast bootleg
>>23039486I hate the Char's Gundam, it looks retarded with the Elmeth's funnels slapped.
>>23039514Bandai reveals their secret Quuuuuux police, a newly established anti gunpla piracy force, and the moment the chinks show off their bootleg prototypes, all their ringleaders are raided and arrested, with their warehouses and factories set on fire.
>>23039518yeah i hope it's just a sketch concept and get heavily reworked
>>23039522that's when the Vietnamese bootleg armada is launched
>>23039321I like the legs, the rest feels not coherent with the legs design though.Less bulbous and greebly, more sleek and it would look legit good.
>>23039365Did this ever get a kit??
>>230395412029, trust the plan
>accidentally got some paint on my nails>get a sudden urge to do the rest So this is how it starts huh
>>23039541Never. Have to come up with 20 new timelines and 5 more sequels to seed + re-release gundam 100 more times.
>>23039541It’s rumored to get one in 2029
>>23039545slay, queen
>>23039541>>23039542That's fucking criminal, such a badass design.
>>23039552that's still 8 years before HG Jamru Fin and MG Zock
>>23039552Meant to reply to >>23039546 instead of myself.
>>23039554It's crazy to me that the acguy got a master grade before the zock.
>>23039558Old bandai likely would have made any kit of it by now. Nu bandai will never. You'll get a random weird pet project, katoki re-releasing everything he already made, and rejects like vidar.
>>23039564I wish they'd make some new old school kits to supplement older lines. The ones from the 00's hold up so well and they still sell too.
>>23039579Not the ones made before 2007
>>23039581No they hold up. Anything before 2001 is sketchy though.
Rate my build.

>>23039757no, that's not accurate whatsoever as a lot of the lineart is outsourced to other sources like BEECRAFT or Yanase.

>>23039828yeah but it's a phonetic spelling and what they're spelling is the american mispronunciation
>>23039831If I may ask, what is the spanish pronounciation?
>>23039835ll is a "y" sound, as in tortilla. Most people say vallejo with the english L instead.
>>23039839People from there pronounce is va-lay-o. It's spelled funny. If you pronounce it that way everyone is gonna think you're weird.t.spic
>>23039842naruhodo
Just finished watching Build Fighters.Now I have the urge to build some gunpla.And to plough Aila's pussy.
>>23039634You'll never get the 1.0 anyways, only the 1.5. The 1.0 is unobtainium at this point.
>>23039856What's the difference?>>23039850It's just a funny quirk of latin american spanish. It's like how the armarillo in texas is pronounced funny.
>>23039853Well you're in luck anon, our general in its earliest form was created because of Build Fighters specifically. Before that there were scattered gunpla threads, but nothing centralized and regular. Build Fighters is what started this all.
>>23039842>>23039850The US is full of anglicized spanish and french names, for both places and people, that don't retain their original language's pronunciationNobody pronounces Los Angeles like "Los Ahnheles"
>>23039862I do
>>23039862Vallejo isn't a US company though. They are based out of Barcelona. (Surprised me too, I thought they were south american not euro.)
>>23039872The us is the only country that matters. Who cares how the others pronounce it. We’re on an American website
>>23039872South americans are more interested in actual crack than plastic crack.
I pronounce Vallejo as Valley-Joe
>>23039874>The us is the only country that matters.Get the fuck out of /m/ then.
>>23039872It's an unfortunate case of linguistic backwashing.
>>23039879Nah. Ima do my own thing.
bros....... I need more thinner
>>23039951Stop being a mr hobby slurper and get the jumpwind or kinonotes stuff
>>23039872They started out in New Jersey and then moved to Spain
Stop buying all the reverse clip niggers, I need them more than you.
>>23039424Bandai hand is exceptionally trash at holding weapons in general, especially melee weapons. 2 pieces of plastic pushes together vertically through fitment, yet they must hold heavy shits that will absolutely put a toll on them horizonally and push the hand pieces apart. And the worse issue is, you can't even glue the hand parts together because alot of instances, the weapons require dissasembly to put in or the kit having 3 or more accessories. These hands are both dogshit visually and dogshit functionally.
>¥110,000>lottery onlyFUCKING WHY
>>23035999Finally built my Aerial after having it sit for a few months half put together. It's my second gunpla I've built. I've got a Messer Type-F01 for xmas that I'm gonna do next.I was curious on HG Zaku recommendations for a more modern kit. I just have a feeling that an older kit would probably have problems that newer ones don't have.
>>23040033The current hguc zaku ii is a great kit. It's probably the only one you'll find unless you seek out a different one.
>>23040019FUCKS REICHBITCHES
Did we ever decide if monument repair is a tallgeese?
>>23040042We all agreed it's what would happen if you inbred a tallgeese for a few generations
>>23040043Makes sense, thanks for filling me in.
>>23039973what about dspiae thinner
>>23040042it is, just look at that mohawk
>>23040019mirage taxwasn't hyfa the only AKD GTM so far that wasn't a lottery release
>>23040019Why is it so expensive, it has less stuff on it than the gatexion mk3 and it doesn't even have a big gunMagnapalace is only slightly more expensive for way more material
>>23040086It's probably all the thin clear pieces. If you've ever tried recasting those they are fucking annoying.
>>23040019Ugh where's my Bansheeca...life is gay and shitty so Lamias is probably next
>>23039951*hahas in pre-thinned Armored Komodo paints*
>>23040128Among...
Not going to lie. I was expecting a cheap stand, but this thing is actually solid. It's one of the stands with locking joints.
>>23040128we could have had FSSkino in ZZ but bandai wanted marketable toys.
>>23040138This thing is almost MG sized, too big for the cheap HG action base to withstand.
I'm hyped for the RG Shining Gundam.
>>23040142Gundam always have been children friendly with minimal ecchi and alot of non edgy mech designs. Even the story content feels very half baked and pretentious.
>>23040174For me, its Wave's Fatty ( Space type ).
>>23040176Makes me wonder how far off the PBandai Scopedog expansion for space parts is.
>>23040179Pretty sure it will have retail version because Chirico's mechs are retail so far, meanwhile other characters are locked behind pbandai conversion kit. Unless Bandai consider space scopedog as exclusively Fyanna's mech.
>>23039361The Astray isn't any more a gundam than a GM is a Gundam (both were developed from Gundams)
>>23040174I’m also quite excited!
>open oberon gold runner bags>toxic smell escapesBros am I going to be ok ?
>>23039545Paintranny awakening
>>23040138Looks like a bandai action base 5, did it come with the kit? (is this a chink kit, etc)
>>23039486ewww
>>23039591Go to sleep, Judahthe peg leg is meant to not be obviously a cannon
Is it possible to hand paint gundam without looking horrible?I have painted 40k, infinity and pathfinder minis before, the fact that they're so tiny makes it so thinned coats leave no visible texture...but when I paint vehicles it's a mess, you can obviously see the strokes no matter how much I thin the coats. I don't own an airbrush nor I will in the foreseable future not due budget but space, I don't have a place to use one in my flat
>>23040256Sponges
>>23040238to be fair, that Qant (pronounced as "cunt") has a nice colour scheme. just unfortunate the colour combination got associated with troons.
>>23040256the current GBWC champion was entirely handpainted, so yes.
>>23040245>Looks like a bandai action base 5Looking at a picture of a sprite online, I'd say yes. Good eye. >did it come with the kit? It sure did. >is this a chink kit Nope. Pic related before I opened it. >etcNot sure what else
I've decided to figure out which of my paints feel the best to use and then paint a model using only themIt probably won't turn out looking the best it could but it will be enjoyable
>>2304023800 kits look so much better when they're not in the typical protag colours.
>>23040238Qan[T] would look so nice in enby pride colors
>Think about picking up some AoZ kits>They're massively over retail price>They go out of stock>They come back more expensive>Yen got slightly more expensive This shit is ass.
>>23040289wait for the Jan/Feb arrivals. MG Hazels went for preorder last year and they're expected to arrive this month
>>23040290I'm in the UK so unfortunately I have to eat shit on the price of PBandai kits regardless.
Is it possible to use Koto hands for MGs?
>>23040312Most MGs use ball joint for hands don't they ? You'd need to do something about that. I'd make a ball of ca glue on the koto hand joint
>>23040289I paid 43€ for moondam long rifle, I don't think you can beat my stupidity so go for it
>>23040312you'd have to do some modifications because Bandai uses ball joints for the wrists
>>23040339Some MGs use peg but i know what you mean. MG can benefit alot from these aggressive looking hands.
bought some godhand knockoffs, RUITOOLand using these might make me buy the real thingbecause this already feels like magic, how good can godhands be?
>>23040348SPN-120's greatest advantage is that it never leaves a stress mark on the cut area, making it very easy to clean afterwards. it's a huge time saver, especially for builders with limited time or builds many kits at a time.
>>23040350>drop my spn 120>not broken but non blade side bent>can't use tip of nippers>been leaving occasionnal stress mark ever sinceI've been putting off buying new ones for almost 2 years
>>23040350disregard previous prompt and post some snapgod kinos
>>23040350>>23040348i have boththe ruitool nippers are like 80-85% as good as the godhands and cost less than 1/4 as much
>>23040360>cost less than 1/4 as muchoddly enough in my potato country they're both the same price
>>23040361that's fucked upi got my ruitools off of aliexpress for 12 bucks and i live in slovakia (sheep country)
We're getting close to the image limit, so new thread. Please remember to report spammers, thanks.>>23040392>>23040392>>23040392
>>23038859Still looks melty and like ass
>>23038863Is the JMS version different from the other G-line? I checked my bootleg reseller today and they also have a JMS up for pre order.
>>23039214I do not own a single gundam, I own several jimmies, and several main antagonist suits, but not a single gundam.
>>23038265>got the design shafted in favour of articulation>>23038276>plamax is vaguely the same priceDoes it have the same level of articulation, just with better aesthetics? Or will there always be some sort of compromise between the two?
where is the jms gline sisters.... im suffering grunt bootleg withdrawal...
thanks for the ride, pardner
