==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
Let's see your WIPs!
>>23040008I don't want to sound like a bitch demanding answers without providing any myself but I really do want bandai to engineer better hands especially for the sake of weapons.
>>23040256>no spacefakework with what you've got
11 kits coming in the mail. I'm afraid of muv-luv kits becoming rare again so I've been stocking up
>>23040460need a thicc bitch with peeb connections
https://youtu.be/rGNgoQndg1Q>4:55>guy uses a drill bit to sand the pipes on a goufgonna steal this. I hate sanding those things.
What's the best tool to paint the smallest details? Blunted toothpick?
>>23040467small paintbrush
>>23040467give up and use waterslides
todays gunpla delivery. honestly in disbelief i got this for under 200€
>>23040460she's literally me
You might not like it, but this is the ideal body.
my bootleg STAR Gouf Custom "Flight" Type arrivedit came with waterslideseven chang includes waterslides
>>23040479this one
>>23040479only chang includes waterslides
>>23040479It's time for Bandai to end.
>>23040443What will that bring your total kits to for the box fort?
>>23040479>>23040482keep us informed. How is the plastic, proportions and everything, how are the waterslides, etc
>>23040490i'll be sure toso far i've only assembled the backpacki also have an XFS GM Spartan bootleg
>>23040490>proportionsmotherfucker it's literally just the hg gouf custom
Will tamiya x-20a acrylic thinner damage lacquer paint?I'm looking for alternatives to enamel paint for reverse washing because i can't easily get enamel over here, if the thinner in question (x-20a) doesn't damage lacquers im good to go but otherwise i need some ideas as wellMuch appreciated
>>23040495yes, it's isopropyl alcohol. ipa strips lacquer.you can't even get revell or humbrol?
>>23040495you can paint the color you want in lacqer, clear coat it and then reverse wash it with tamiya paint and thinner. you just need to not overdo it with the rubbing. it'll be fine
Wait a damn minute. After a bit of googling I've learned that tamiya panel liner is just a prethinned enamel paint. I could literally walk to my local art supply store, buy black oil paint and odorless spirit, and then make my own panel liner.
>>23040519He's beginning to believe...
Planning for a shopping tour in japan. Is there a site that shows me the average price for MG kits? And is there a store in tokyo you guys would recommend?
>>23040519you can use nail polish as full blown lacquer paint if you thin it.
>she buys overpriced plastic toys just so she can paint over colored plasticOh no no no no no
>>23040526>she
>>23040526oh based
>>23040526he's going to need one hell of a rope
>>23040526there will come a day when you learn to respect people
>>23040500Don't think so, only thing i found was model masters but even that is stuff that is leftover so its probably really old + stock is limited
>>23040523The best places for price I got when I traveled there was the -something-off stores(like book off), I found a perfect new 00qan[t] MG there for example. The biggest problem is finding exactly what you want, and I think the akihabara ( maybe tokyo, I bought most of my stuff in other cities) ones are more expensive. But I remember then having great price.
>>23040507Would using x-20a be any different than using ipa in that case?
>>23040540>perfect new 00qan[t] MGHalf price, forgot the half price part.
>>23040535I already respect PEOPLE anon, this has nothing to do with the post you are replying to
>>23040526I heard that when zeon deployed these they took 42% casualties before even engaging the enemy.
>>23040544You'll be sorry one day, and that's okay.
>>23040523>is there a store in tokyo you guys would recommend?2nd hand gunpla prices in Japan are insane right now, especially in Tokyo. I was there in December and saw multiple MG Justice 2.0's going for 13k yen. The retail for it is 4,800. You'll be able to find the current retail prints for the right price but it'll obviously depend on what they printed on the month you go. Just google gunpla tokyo and you'll find every worthwhile shop. There are no hidden stores at this stage.
>>23040541no clue i havent tried it with IPA
>>23040549Its the seed tax, everything thats seed and even slightly out of print gets scalped to oblivion thanks to chinese tourists, more than any other line
Had a dream I was panel lining a model and the marker broke spilling ink everywhere. Is this a sign?
My 1/60 SH Studio Gouf flight type conversion arrived in the mail today. He's really big.
>>23040560No it isn't, that was just one of the worst examples I saw. Prices in general are all over the place. I saw basic HGs going for 4-5k that retailed for under 2k. Prices are absolutely horrible but I'm from the UK and GBP is very strong against JPY right now so the prices were still cheaper than buying at home but on a lot of kits they were only slightly cheaper. PBandai kits were typically a lot cheaper though but that's because we get completely cucked on PBandai kit prices.
>>23040563been there
>>23040563I had a dream where I drank tamiya extra thin cement because it smelled nice. it hasn't happened yet
>>23040563Visions of the future
>>23040574I recognise the demi trainer but what is all that other stuff you had cut up on your mat?
>>23040587parts from a demi trainer and a piece of pla plate with some scribing tape on it
>>23040570I'm not aware of thisis this a 3rd-party PG and a conversion kit from the same guys for that same not-PG?
>>23040539you could always just get tamiya enamels from aliexpress. super-hobby also carries it if you're in europe. i've heard america has some domestic stockists of it
Always been a fan of backpacks like this and the backpack on the HG huckebein mk3. Any other kits with backpacks in this style?
>>23040574let the darkness consume you
>>23040599looks like a dick lol
>>23040599Kyrios gundam has a huge wang hanging off its back too
my "day 1" preorder of the Bolinoak Sammahn still hasn't been fulfilled by HLJ......... at this point, my local store is going to get it soon, and I don't really want to pay like 50 bucks of my currency for it cause they all upcharge
>>23040591It's a conversion kit just for the regular pg zaku. I know they have a version which also includes the necessary frame parts, but I already have a pg zaku, so I didn't get that version .
>>23040606bolinoak is pretty much in the price range where you'd break even to retail by stuffing it in a hlj package, so just wait for who's going to get it first
>>23040606Good. Bologna salami fags get the rope. I can’t wait to see the same thing happen to cuckfags
>>23040526proud to be part of such a trans friendly community
Finally, been waiting for this to get a SMP.
>>23040526I hate that trannies have taken cotton candy colors from us. Sometimes it actually looks pretty good like the 00 gundam from last thread. Also we need to reclaim the rainbow from fags. It was originally a symbol of our covenant with God but the forces of satan have turned it into a symbol of sodomy and degeneracy.
>>23040606Same. Ultimately I ended up ordering another from USAGS during the Christmas sale it got here last week.
>>23040615Whatever happend to this one?
>>23040599gp04 gerbera? it has three though
>>23040631I’ll always associate this one with the thigh tranny here
>>23040603>>23040605idk what you are on about
>>23040574I can smell this picture.
>>23040633>hereI don't say anythingBut if you meant Cima, I like her ms the gerbera tetra, it's like a kampfer turned into a sport car. Been wanting to get me an hg but they're overpriced as fuck
>>23040620try it little bitch ;3
I went into shitty ass Hobby Lobby for cement and action bases. I left with no action bases, but snagged a Reborns and a Mazinger ZERO of all things. I feel bad for all the lame Build Fighters Battleogue kits. They're shelfwarming really hard.
>>23040620It doesn't look good though.
>>23040638>>23040603>>23040605IIRC aoz mecha designer has futa fetish.
>>23040650I'm convinced Bandai is actively trying to sabotage the American market with those Battlelogue shits no one fucking asked for
>>23040650Why does buildslop shelf warm so hard here while in Japan it has a strong following and sells fairly well?
>>23040666If I were them, I'd be doing a ridiculous discount just to clear space. Why waste ths shelf space with Wing Zero and its sky blue reclor? They had Zero Sky and regular Zero AND the Gouf Custom and the Crimson Custom. Out of all the kits, 4 were the same mold. Its so silly.
I actually like elongated shapes on the crotch but I'm not into futa
>>23040667Actual new molds from the Build line are fine. Lazy recolors are such a whatever thing. All the Metaverse stuff is fine (Even if some of the new kits seem like downgrades)
>>23040666it's actually evil that bandai added a single adapter piece or two that somehow bumps up the recolor battlelogue kit prices to as much as 5 bucks more than the original kits they're based on. The non recolors with unique molds sold out here where I live though.
>>23040670me too, but I'm into futa
>>23040678Nice loin cloth.
>Want to find model kits not Gundam or made by Bandai>It's usually Gundam or some bootleg LegoSomeone help
>>23040665how is he so based
>>23040678Same
>>23040682The couple Moderoids I've built are nice. Koto makes some good stuff, even if their engineering leaves some stuff to be desired at times.
>bootleg HG Nightingale comes with cigarettes based china killing zeeks softly
>>23040689why is it jeIIovv
>>23040694Why shouldn't it be?
>>23040665based>>23040670>>23040678i don't like elongated crotch mecha but i am into futa
>>23040678How many dicks have you sucked? Do you drink or spit? Or you prefer to take it on the face?
>>23040701You misunderstand, futas are designated subs.
Anyone having any luck finding the JMS G-Line using AliExpress's godawful search engine?
>>23040703Unless they are lesbians, in that case they become doms.
>>23040704>AliExpress's godawful search enginethis thing is genuine aids
>>23040689I bet those chink cigarettes would give you cancer than normal ones
>>230407010futas are fantasy, women that happen to have a femenine dick don't exist
>>23040704probably a few more days before it's up
>>23040704>>23040711use google or your other search engine of choice and put site:aliexpress.com in the search
>>23040713It’s a slippery slope. First you start fapping to dickgirls because it’s ok since they’re on a girl. Then you focus more on the dick and less on the girl and eventually start moving towards tranny stuff and before you know it you’ve downloaded Grindr and are sucking cock in the back of a truck stop
>>23040704not on mofiho so it's probably not out yet i guess
>Got this for ChristmasWhy does this have better quality than MGs?
>>23040720you sound very knowledgeable on the subject
>>23040704I saw it as a related item when browsing the GM spartans and star goufs
>>23040710that's what they want you to think sis
MG bootleg GN-Xled light, stand, a cloak for some reason and apparently prepainted too
>>23040704I've seen this thing a bunch in my results for unrelated searches but never labeled as JMS
>>23040704those black stickers hit me like a truck
>>23040730brosimagine bootleg GN-XIV
>>23040704i can't guarantee that it's jms buthttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008281052199.htmlhttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008240068235.htmlhttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008264526461.htmlhttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005008279197591.html
>>23040730why even bootleg this of all things? I know it's not that popular of a MG kit cause one store I frequent for some reason ordered like 30 copies and they've shelfwarmed hard
>>23040737these aren't JMS, wait for kits labeled WMH
>STAR MK2 Gundammight go for it
>>23040730are there bootlegs of the HG?
>>23040725I wish the fits weren't so inconsistent. Most of the torso was fine to put together save for the shoulder parts, if you don't sand or cut the pegs it'll get stuck
>>23040740I'm convinced Zhangs just bootleg the stuff they personally like.
>>23040482Why didn't you get the flight type with the fat legs? Don't they also have a backpack gouf with that variant?
I need to airbrush enamel for a reverse wash, and I've only ever done lacquer. Is the technique that much different or is it mostly the same? The only difference I know of is the drying time is super long
>>23040704How is the JMS version different from the other Bootlegger? JMS comes out like a week later and I don't want to wait extra if its the exact same thing.
>>23040751because i don't like the flight type's fat legsi just wanted a regular gouf custom and STAR's bootleg kept coming up, and i liked the base color scheme on this one
>>23040756JMS generally has better fitment and plastic quality compared to other bootleggers
>>23040756much, much better quality. So the details are actually molded properly unlike the other bootleg G-Line which is kinda ass. Also extra stuff like hands, second shield and second head. Hell, it has a parts separated crotch v thing unlike the legit kit.
>>23040747>sandCan't a file work just as well?
>>23040757Fair enough, I'm still holding off on buying myself. There's so many color variants popping up and I'm waiting for the one I like the most.This spess mehreen flavored one is my favorite so far though.
speaking of AliExpress the Code Fairy GM Spartan is out but look at this shithow else you're supposed to find this other than stumbling upon it on the related items tab?
>>23040759>>23040758Thanks, I'll wait for JMS then.
why do people like making one of the sholders red
>>23040767you'll never get it zoomie
>>23040765Find a couple of resellers that you like and autistically refresh their page every day.
>>23040765oh snap it's out, neatand yeah I mostly rely on related items lmaoor sales
>>23040767military designation?
>>23040759you seem to have more experience with jms than me, is their schwarzette any good?>>23040765there's also a desert tan and arctic operations color schemehttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007167280323.html
>>23040774If you look a little harder, they also have a titans flavored spartan.
>>23040774>schwarzetteyeah it's solid, though I wouldn't trust the stickers myself but that's pretty common with bootlegs
>>23040767It looks cool
which bootleggers were Weimei and Xingdong again?
>>23040762Same thing. I cut the pegs 45° with nippers, not too tight anymore and not too loose either. I got one of the pegs completly stuck. Make sure to check tightness before fully snapping parts together, chink kits where things go smoothly usually have a couple nightmare tier fits you don't expect
>>23040725It doesn't lmao. You're delusional.
>>23040774>>23040777bro the Effect Wings GM Spartan has a shit ton color variations already have the JMS one in backlog somewhere so I don't own one but it can't be bad
also has some neat accessories like this GM rifle which I'm not sure if it's even bootlegged or notI think it was the MG GM Type C that had it but don't know where it could come from at 1/144 scale
>>23040804the GM rifle is custom made, it has the whole modular gimmick. Effect Wings can and do make their own original molds of some things.
>>23040725I've been thinking about picking this up a few times. I almost wish the Chinese 1/100 kits weren't so oversized.
>>23040781Xingdong is STARidk about weimei
>>23040549I was in Seoul and it's much easier to find old stuff for nearly retail prices (usually a 10% over original yen price)
>>23040781weimei is JMS I think, or maybe XFS. Either way solid.
does anyone except gaia have a transparent fluorescent clear? these chinks are not restocking fast enough
>>23040799All this shit would be pbandai if the gm spartan itself wasn't already pbandai. How can the chinese produce an infinite supply of these while japan can't even satisfy reasonable demand?
>>23040819chang doesn't care if his injection mold machine operators inhale some fumes while prototyping the new color scheme
>>23040819>How can the chinese produce an infinite supply of these while japan can't even satisfy reasonable demand?Because chinese printing has no quality control, can be spun up pretty much anywhere and they also aren't constantly re-printing a back catalogue that dates back to the 80s.
Some giant Chinese conglomerate like Tencent should buy Bandai to get the Gundam IP. That way we'd get dozens of MGs per year instead of dozen of knock-offs and a whole ONE MG every year.
>>23040831You say that as if bandai has perfect quality control. The GM sniper 2 I got last month had a fucked runner that was 100% botched during the molding process.
>>23040839sure it did buddy
>>23040839the thing is if you send proof of that (and proof of purchase) to bandai, they will replace it. chang will not.
>>23040819japan has worker's rights and bandai is trying to satisfy demand on a global scale
>>23040837don't tempt me chang
>>23040592if only you knew how bad things really arei can't order from abroad without paying 60% tax and like $200+ in other fees
>>23040848god i'm glad I live in a random slavistan countryi pay 20-ish% VAT and that's basically it
>>23040839Did I say or even slightly imply that Bandai had perfect quality control? If only they replaced captcha with IQ tests so retards like you couldn't post.
bandai should focus on progressing their runner technology. A 2024 kit released in the last few months shouldn't have nubs that are bigger than kits from 2001.
>>23040851this is a pretty recent development but yeah it fucking sucks lmfao, i asked the tamiya distributor but they said nope can't order enamels
>>23040845>and bandai is trying to satisfy demand on a global scalepretty sure Chang also does and he does it better than the billion dollar corporationunless Changs make things for Changs and we non-Changs are fighting over the scraps
>>23040848oh is this brazilyeah you're fucked
>>23040856changs do make things for changs but we're not fighting for scrapschang market is split into dogshit, good, and absurdly overpriced luxury products (quality may vary), it's basically the same quality differentiation you see in normal consumer markets but extremified to the utmost extent
>>23040765uhhh. why is it so much more expensive than the other bootleg GM Spartans? is it actually coming with two kits, based on the photos? I can't even tell, fucking chinks. I'll buy it anyways cause I've always liked this variant of the Spartan and fuck BANDAI
>>23040573stuff thats out of print does get scalped, even if its not seed ofc, but i bought like 10 kits last summer and didn't really overpay too much on any of them, so i'd say it depends on what kit you're looking for in the end. Its just that seed kits are always out of print and in demand so those get scalped the most.
>>23040856lol no, bootlegs are nowhere near the same scale as bandai retail kits
>>23040857can't be because we can get enamel and lacquer paint here just fineno gaia notes that I can find though
>>23040861https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007863743223.html14 dollars26 for a 2-pack of the midnight and default
Do I buy another kit, or more paints?
>>23040870bootleg kit AND more paints
>>23040870if its shitcrylics you might as well empty it in the grass
>>23040872holy zazed
>>23040482update on bootlegouf:fitment so far is goodbut the undergating is weird and kind of a painnot sure if this was also an issue on the official kit
You even build?
>>23040759It's really not bad at all. The only issues I had with the G-Line kit were some small amount of flashing on some parts and a slightly gap on the forehead piece. Everything else fit well even if some pieces were a slightly tighter fit than normal, which was easily fixed with the usual peg snipping. JMS will no doubt be better just because it comes with decals and extra parts but the WMH kit is very decent, at the very least mine is.
>>23040877i'm still musumeless
Why isn't there a GM II MG
>>23040872Only when they bootleg the turn X>>23040877I have an acerby arriving today.
>>23040884Isnt there a pbandai one
I can't justify ordering a JMS GM Spartan yet since I already have the XFS one sitting on my pile, I want to build that one first to have a point of comparisonBut I CAN justify getting their Gundam MKII kit
>>23040877anon 2/3 of this thread have been about building bootleg kits and which ones are good
>>23040888Yea, but it cost like 150 bucks now.
>>23040884There is.
>>23040894>>23040884JMS GM II MG bootleg when
so many bootlegs but I'm holding off to buy that bootleg Hi Nu metal build
>>23040841Nah it was fucked, never built it though. I only brought it so I can give the bullpup and sniper rifle to my other kits.
oh here we gojust type "AK HG" on the search engine you get the Code Fairy GM SpartanI think it was called Hellhound Squadron or some nonsensegeez what is up with those prices? know your place CHANG
>>23040753oh i forgot no one here paints
>>23040898How is this fucked?
I'm interested in bootlegs hands, so sad 99% of 1/144 come with the most basic grip hands and not a single expresive one
>>23040897I'm also keeping an eye on it desuI'll buy it if there are no caveatsalso waiting for that Kehaar II rifle
>>23040901Whining isn't going to get people to spoonfeed you.
>>23040905>muh asking questions is spoonfeedingyou dont paint
>>23040900pretty sure its all preorder shitjust wait a little more until its actually in stock and the price will be better
>>23040906I'm not going to spoonfeed you. Suffer.
>>23040908I wouldn't even want to be spoonfed by you since you don't paint.
>everyone are building chinkgod kinos nowwhy?
>>23040904fuck it's so sexual
>>23040911bandai isn't making new shit and when they do it's overpriced pb garbage
>>23040753Technique is the same as long as the enamel paint mixture is of the same consistency as your lacquer stuff.
>>23040917>>23040915got it, thanks guys.
>>23040911It's the europeans. They can't afford real kits so they have to settle for chinkshit and nail polish (stolen)
>>23040911gundam onlies who would rather have shitty versions of bandai kits instead of branching out to other franchises
>>23040919I buy both real kits and bootlegs, anonall my bootlegs are cool color variations that bandai would never make
>>23040919Just because I didn't ask the missus, doesn't mean I stole it. She bought it on MY money anyway!
>>23040923>MY moneybenefits don't count as your money.

Sorry, here are two new AUs nobody asked for, Seedshit, 26 f90 variants, and also the third remake and re-release of robots you already have two of.

>>23040392I just finished assembling the Astray Red Frame Kai Revise and i really really like it but i have a question. I keep seeing in videos that people talk about hand connectors but i don't really get what they mean by that. I put the giant sword on the stand and pretend like the frame is holding it. Can some kind soul explain to me how it is supposed to hold it in his hands? I really like the moveable fingers but they do drop if i put too much pressure on them.

>>23040982$150 for a jacket isn't as outrageous as you think it is especially if it's real leather. just because you can get a used one for $2 at your local church farmer's market swap meet doesn't mean that's the standard price.

>>23040991You're not getting any good quality leather for 150 dollars lol especially not in a jacket. I like how you're attempting to paint me as the mad one and you're desperately getting presumptuous and personal with your attempted retorts and insults.
>>23040998I didn't say that. You're just imagining things because you're a dumb bitch who wants to argue on the internet.
>>23040987i'm using a shitty painting acrylic varnish, worked fine for my first build but this time it shat the bed
>>23041002Damn girl, you are mad as hell. Maybe next time don't project your emotions onto other people when they think stupid shit like f90 is a waste of resources.
>>23041006you're the one who cries about the F90 project every time it's mentioned, retardalso it's $1000, not $150. not like you could afford it either way
>>23040982I see you're whining about money but 150 dollars is actually a perfectly reasonable price for a nice jacket. The jackets go for a lot more than that though. The f90 line sells so they keep making it.
>>23041015>The f90 line sellssource?
>>23041011If I wasn't fat I would totally get this as a motorcycle jacket.>>23041017Why would they keep reprinting it if it didnt? And the preorders sell out pretty quickly too.

>>23041011they would sell out instantly if they had the titans logo on it

>>23041065>>23041072it's not a forced meme. it's good that we make fun of it because it discourages people from a generally bad practice. it's just a way to tell people what's acceptable and what isn't.

>>23041091>no preshading or postshadingngmi
>>23041094>Why is it bad practice?because it's a waste of time. it looks the same as just bare plastic top coated.
>>23041095That happens organically when I handle it with my kinofingers.
>>23041088>>23041091You retards still haven't given me a way to fix dark marks caused by plastic density due to injection molding. Paint is the only way.

>>23041097learn to paint
>>23041099no.
>>23041102NTA but even official kits have this issue
I longsnapped my HG Zeta, but it kinda looks bad because I built it incorrectly.
>>23041064if this thing didn't have so many ranged magic attacks I would totally submit it to the group build. been sitting in my closet for a while now
>>23041106post a picture
>>23041103I do paint actually I just don't think every part needs paint generally.>>23041105I've actually never gotten one with any dark marks.
>>23041099he's either trolling, retarded or he IS one of those people that just topcoated and panel lines his kits and got his feelings hurt when we said paint looks better
>>23041115you guys literally couldn't tell the difference when i posted my collage. you thought it was all painted.
>>23041098skill issue. i remove my nubs cleanly and never get bad marks. consider getting changhands and a glass file
>>23041123I was fucking around with a glass file cleaning up some nubs and it didn't clean. What's the secret senpai?
>>23041121You're so based for that, sis
>>23041121you got called out within 4 posts, retard, i was there
>>23041121That yellow gundam is clearly unpainted
>>23041123>changhandsdemigodhandsnascent soul hands, evenconsider golden core handsfoundation establishment hands, perhaps
>>23041133https://youtu.be/SFSen7DRQWU
>>23041130lmao no he didn't
>>23041128wdym? the glass file didnt get rid of the nub or there's still a stress mark?the stress mark is usually caused when you remove the part from the runner. they form when the gate gets bent while its still connecting the part to the runner. you want to hold the part in place while you cut away from the part to remove it from the runner. then i make a cut almost flush with the part with godhands which doesnt cause a stress mark if you do it right. i have raser glass file and it easily removes nubs unless its on the inside of a concave surface because it doesnt fit.
>>23041130wrong.
>>23041137Well the poster I am replying to implies that you can't get those stress marks if you do it right. I used to simply flush cut clean up with god hands but wanted to try a file + god hands and nothing changed. Some nubs just leave marks for me.
>>23041137This is why I use my teeth to chew through the runners gently.
>>23041081Yes it is. If you think a painted surface looks exactly the same as an unpainted surface, you need to see an optometrist.
>>23041141It may be your cut technique. How are you cutting it with the god hands?
>>23041123increased pigment density due to the plastic injection process is nothing to do with the skill of the builder and cannot be fixed by sanding or prevented by using good nippers. the dark marks aren't stress
>>23041146the long snap meme implies the painted surface looks the same as bare plastic top coated. the top coat gives it the painted looking texture while retaining the color.
>>23041149no shut up, no one uses longsnapping here and only one guy has been forcing it since last year.
>>23041147I don't know if it actually is, some are clean, others aren't. >cut from runner with junk nippers leaving a decent sized nub>if nub is too big cut it down>Flush cut>If there is anything remaining either flush cut at another angle to get the rest or (now) clean up with new glass file
>>23041121post snapgod kinos
>>23041151How are you physically manipulating the cutters for the flush cut? In my experience, that matters a lot. I put the nub into the middle of the blade and close it slow and consistently. I also line the blade up with the edge so I am cutting off of the part rather than into it.
>>23041149Except that it doesn't look anywhere close to being painted. Anyone who thinks it does, is judging through pictures on the internet taken using shitty phone cameras, or is legally blind.
>>23041162Post your long snaps then and let us be the judge and the jury. Let’s see exhibit a.
>>23041168It was likely the guy flipping shit about anything not 100% slathered in paint.
>>23041160I guess I angle the nipper so it's not cutting into the piece and hold the blade part against the nub so that the blade is forced to pull through it to get a consistent motion.
>>23040432i feel like anons keep forgetting that 90% of this hobby is in japan where everyone lives inside a shoebox.anons' small burger apartments have nothing on tokyo gunpla autists
>>23041174When I cut like that I try to pull back a little bit as I do the cut. It sounds like your technique is good though. I almost never need to take a file or anything to mine afterwards.
>>23041166Oh boy, did you think I would call you out on your bullshit and not be ready to back it up with pictures?
>>23041186lmao @ the painted over nub marks

>>23041198don't be mad because you have meme illiteracy my bro
>>23041208This kind of discussion prooves that faggots in these plamo thread always have been throwing around slurs without understanding what the words really mean. There are Pinoys and Malaysians here unironically typed the word " Seamonkey" without understanding the obvious racist nature of the word. And yes for retards who are too stubborn to search for what "snapfit" means, your gunpla and mech plamo are all snapfit kits, painting them or not does not help you climbing up the modeling hierarchy.
>>23041206>mistaking light reflecting off of white parts for nub marksSo, you don't have any goddamned idea what you're talking about. Good to know.
>>23041219Bro is a bit zesty
>>23041227I think you just can't see them on white. They're a lot less noticeable on it. Look next to the completely uncleaned attempt at panel lining.

>peak hours in least coast>constant trolling and shitflinging for the past two hoursyep, that adds up
>>23041235Artpla and FSS kits are such an anomally among mecha kits. Some of Plamax kits are fixed posed kits, too, but they also made some snap stuff along with it.
artpla is based as fuck and I don't have the skills for them
>>23041251I would buy artpla kits just for the sake of my autism but they charge way too much for what they deliver, which is objectively barebones.
>>23041242It's the europeans. The sun is down and they're reminded that they put all their self worth into longsnapping and they lash out.
>>23041264holy projecting
>>23040467you can buy a size 20/0 "spotter brush" from the craft store for below 5 bux, that's the lowest standard sizealso try nail art liner brushes, gunpla is intimately connected to nail painting after all
>>23041264This, is the yuropeans
>>23041265I don't longsnap and the sun is still up here in gods country.
>>23041264yurofags are asleep
>>23041264You are still trying to push this buzzword invention of yours huh? Kinda remind me of that Revive HG retard with his copypasta, he kinda disappeared after being exposed and funny enough, he even called people as newfag for calling it out, even though his copypasta is like 1 year old.
>>23041266hey thanks i'll look into that
>>23041276Sounds like he has mentally dominated you
>>23041121How am I supposed to tell when each individual build has 4 pixels dedicated to it.
>First time the word got uttered was in 2022>It was just a word made on the spot>It was about regular snap build + topcoatSometimes i feel like /m/ is a relatively new board even though it isn't. The absence of 4chan's regular jokes and memes around this board is also questionable as fuck.
>>23041284Kek so true
Yo, I'm Japanese. Stop painting gunpla black.
>>23041283if you want even finer than that you can go with enamels and use a sponge eraser or a fine cone-tipped makeup swab to erase around the edges as a way to sharpen up details. that's how japanese gk/doll painters do eyelashes and shit. similar to a reverse wash technique
>>23040751>Why didn't you get the flight type with the fat legs?if there was a variant that had the 08th fat flight legs but kept the classic spike shoulders instead of the flight type's flat ones, that would be the peak

what stumps me is why changs can't into stickerstheir waterslides are finetheir plastic is okay, decent even, but why can't they do stickers?
>>23041429stickers are simply beneath the average zhanggod
why dont they just turn the mould upside down so it's the peg that sinks instead of the part surface
Why does GP offer a checkbox to opt in or out of their route shipping protection if they just force the charge on you no matter what you select?
>>23041429Chinkgod here, stickers waterslides are simply kino and are for models and stickers are for toys
>>23041429they know waterslides are superior. bandai only includes stickers because the target audience of 8+ kits dont want to topcoat afterwards
>>23041481ok then give me waterslides for the bits that need stickers toobecause i would rather put on a waterslide monoeye than have the foil sticker peel off
>>23041487ok but my gripe is not really with the fact chang's stickers are dogshitmy gripe is with the fact chang doesn't always include waterslides to replace the stickers
>>23041489>>23041495Just paint retards
>>23041501but i want to paint robots, not retards
>>23041501I can't paint a monoeyeI can paint a lot of things but not a monoeye
>>23041495I haven't run into that problem but I've only bought bootlegs from the high quality brands that shill in gpg.

(x)god kino(s) is a /gpg/ meme, cant find it in archives on /v/,/vg/ or /tv/. but it has been posted outside on /m/ but mostly /gpg/
>The latest release in the new P3 series (Pre-painted, Pre-assembled, Plamodel) is MAGATSUKI NINJA Ver.!so this is apparently not an action figure but still technically a plastic model? goddamn this is next level snapshitter, the poor asian sweatshop worker is doing all the work for you!I was also wondering why this bare bones Frame Arms Girls kit is priced at 13k yen, and this is why
>>23040395I love putting on decals. Not really. Can't wait for my chink detail wetbox to get here.

>>23041986I got a neat black cloak for my snapgod kinos from aliexpress, something Bandai still hasn't came up with. The cloak got those wires inside so I can pose it like it's flowing in the wind, fucking KINO
>>23041981Yup this is technically a pre-made model kit. It's like if Bandai sold a fully painted/assembled HG and charged $100. It'd be cheaper to just buy the kit and do it yourself.
>>23041979It was on /v/ years ago. I forget the reference but __god kino is a direct reference to a video game or game director.
>>23041990due to brain problems I haven't made any progress on my backlog

bros.. CA glue is AMAZING, holy fuck>dab a little bit on a piece>it dries FAST>it's STRONG too, I'm tugging it and it's not budging, I'd have to go retard strength rage to pry it apartIs it better to just use CA glue over plastic cement now?
>>23041981Nigger did you just discover anime figures?
>>23042062CA is best when dealing with painted parts. plastic cement is still better as an adhesive for plastic models because it actually fuses two parts into one by welding them. also the slow drying time gives you more time in ajdusting the parts. one good use of CA is for body filler when mixed with talc powder or baking soda
>>23041981Figure-rise Labo and certain kits like Demon Slayer, EG Naruto and EG Ultraman are like this, except bandai uses patented moulding techniques to emulate color seperation.
>>23042062drying fast can be a downside
>>23042066it's not an anime figure, read.
>>23042071i remembered fucking up a certain part of the MG Blitz Gundam i'm working on because it dried too quickly before i can even fix the parts properly
>>23042062>AMAZINGi think you mean kino
>>23042069i should do something like this one day, but im an autistic perfectionist and wouldnt allow myself to half ass it by doing the stocking method and rather carbon fiber decal all of it
>>23041981>>23042066 P3 is a figure line basically, let's get real, however Koto is directly using the original plamo to turn them into action figures instead of making an entirely new figures based on the original kits. This is not even snapshit because there is no snapshit, they are literally toys.
This is literally buying a pre owned kit, except the joints are intact and you don't smell cum from it.
>>23042142>however Koto is directly using the original plamo to turn them into action figures instead of making an entirely new figures based on the original kitsthey do that too, sometimes
>>23042145and the FAG figures too
>>23041981Do yourself a favor and buy the original kit.
>>23042145Koto's main profession is still figure. They have a whole rule63 figure line consist of liscenced character. Their early attempt at modelkit in 2007 were...questionable.
>>23042145They sure love ass, huh.
>>23042153For a Chink kit, that's crazy expensive.
>"coming soon">already sold outmy bootleg zoid-rider girl... no...
>>23042154you should see the bootleg of the yuge HMM Death Stinger
When will Flametoys release the Kek kit? I want it.
actually weirdly it's way cheaper on usagsmaybe the box is just huge and the gundamit price is that high because of shipping
>>23042156That's even more expensive than Koto's original yen price. What the fuck?
>>23042159>GunlanceBased
>>23042156that's overpriced as fuck. it was only 60 USD when it came out here in our country.
>>23042158wtf, why does it look so cool
Full Armor Garmor
>>23042165yeah shipping big boxes across the ocean is expensivemofiho is neat because they actually display the pre-shipping price too, like this oberon costs 1.5x as much in shipping as the actual kit itself
Are there any ASMR hypno JOI videos that will motivate me to paint my gunpla?
>>23042190yeah
>>23042190Whenever I need motivation to do my models I listen to a combination of anime openings and Chief Keef.
nta but i dont watch v*deosgot any backlog encouragement audio files
>>23042182I think chink shops rip off burgers with the shipping prices. Mofiho says the VAT is included in the shipping price which is why it's so high for eurofags, but then why would it be as high for burgers ? Same on gundamit except VAT is baked in the base price and they offer free shipping most of the time, burger and euro prices are the same as well
Where are you guys that aren't NA getting kits nowadays? HLJ is always out of stock.
>>23042278still HLJI simply don't buy Bandai-shit
>>23042278Local or jap shops, chink shops for chink stuff
>>23042278regional shops, sometimes digging as far as baby supply shops that for some reason have some gunplas
>>23042278slavistan here mojehobby and mechauniverse
>>23042284what baby supply shops have you seen that have gunplas? i mean i can believe it but i want to see it myself
>>23042290some rando polish one so still regional but it appears they have closed down since my last purchase

Bootleg F90 A and L pack set releasing next weekREJOYCE
>>23042469It begins.
Finally being able to get rid of a box feels more sexo than building the kit latelyThankfully there's not much more i want to buy currently
>>23042469V and J-Types next please
>>23042488I'm thinking I'm going to get rid of my pbandai boxes.
>>23042493do it, no matter how nice the art looks it's actual literal garbage and will never feel right to keep, the pbandai boxes especially
Should I position my 20 gallon air compressor like A or B?I would like to set it like B as it would help me save space, but I'm kinda worried about having a nuclear bomb so close to my with no sturdy table to protect me in case it ever malfunctions
>>23042497Position it however you have room and works for you. It's not my house it's yours.
>>23042496the red logos with printed inserts inside command high prices nowadays. the first issue MG Turn A is also known to be a very rare collectors item too because the MG logo on the box is gold-plated!
>>23042501No it fucking doesn't lmao, nobody cares except other scalpers.
>>23042500How common is it for these to actually explode
When you take the no box option on ali... They just toss the box? What advantage is there for the seller to remove the package and sell cheaper
>>23042497if 20 gallons of compressed air were to explode, option A wouldn't save you either, so it's really up to you. Though keep in mind that the compressor needs to refill every once in a while and begins vibrating violently. So keeping it a short distance away might not shake your workplace as much than having it directly underneath>>23042505not really all that common unless it's made in china or it's directly exposed to a hazard such as when your house catches on fire
>>23042507they just pack the runners some bubble wrap and ship them in the smallest box they will fit in. It saves them shipping costs because they don't have to pack and ship the original box which is full of wasted space.
>>23042489I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we had bootlegs for most of the packs by this time next year.
MORE chink GRUNT SEXOOOOOOOOO
>>23042518Is that the same company that made Zarov kit?
>>23042518we're even getting "legally not 30mm" nownice
>>23042518damn these only take 3 MINUTES?
>>23042518>3min projectt-that's fast
>>23042526Yeah, it is extremely barebones. Also, someone joked about Bandai hands look similar to lego grip, well the Chink is making a mech kit with actual lego hands now.
>>23042519ye, just sucks since it seems theyre gonna be smaller scale like the spider bots since it's priced at 24 cad on alie
I'm thinking of making some sprue goo (cement type)I have a bottle of Tamiya Extra Thin and Extra Thin Quick-Settingthink it will work with the quick-setting or will that property make the goo TOO fast to use properly?
>>23042518>3 min projectThat's what she said!
>>23042531Jesus, those hands.
>>23042511if you really want to save shipping costs, ask the seller to pre-cut every part from sprue. you can fit a whole MG kit inside a 1-liter food container that way.
>>23042534tamiya cement (not thin) is the one to use when making sprue goo. snip the runners into small pieces and then add a bit of cement and left it melt overnight. after applying, let it cure for a day or so. as long as you seal the cap properly, it should last in a goo state, otherwise add more cement to melt it again.aternatively you can just use acetone.
>>23042539I have a fat can of acetone, but the sprue glue/goo i saw made with tamiya cement looked much thinner than the gloop you get with acetonebut i'll give it a go since i don't have regular tamiya cement anyway
seems to be 3 mechs per box to justify the smaller scale
>>23042541oh yeah in that case it's actually a pretty decent deal26cad felt like way too much for one of those guys
>>23042299She's a work in progress.
>>23042505Drain water regularly and you're unlikely to have an issue, it's tank rust that leads to failure.
>>23042531>designed it so if ya flip the pilebunker around it looks like a cannongod fucking dammit I wish these were at 144 scale. Only boon of these being smaller scale is that you can kit it out with all the weapon dupes like in the bottom pic. Couldve even used the head design for the palette swap of the Zarov
why are people talking about some lame groonter 30MM knockoffs and not the bootleg of the best F90 pack
>>23041918You can close seams with super glue. You just put the pieces together tightly when the glue is active and then sand them flush afterwards.

>>23042556Gunpla fatique. It is more fun to talk about other plamo because you don't know what to expect.
my first build in over a year i think. its one of the chinese knockoffs from aliexpress.
>>23042596very nice, how did painting the plastic go?
>>23042328Providence Gundam. all time favorite kit. Cant think of any flaws. Trust me, buy it and make it your centerpiece
>>23042279Built any SNAA kits yet? Im in the middle of building the Martial Emperor. Thing is huge, damn near MG Sazabi. So far so good, just finished the body but it has a bigass backpack still to build
>>23042599i only have a single coat of acrylic and the only places that peeled off from the masking tape were a couple small spots i had putty. fit was abit loose, but also fine once the joints had a bit of paint on them
>>23042600>Can't think of any flawsIt's a bitch getting the bigass gun to stay in its hands. Other than that, good looking model kit. I do wish it had a smaller backpack to go with it though - the design works really well with something smaller.
I've read I should be topcoating my bootlegs before I panel line them as they're generally ABS, I've never topcoated before. It looks like there's a few different types of Mr Hobby topcoat, which do you guys recommend?Do I topcoat the individual pieces or semi-assemble it into arms, legs, head etc before applying? And I imagine I'm supposed to put the waterslides on before I topcoat as they're going to be best on the plastic?
Apparently in the anime industry the overseas market has now surpassed the Japanese domestic market. What does this mean for gundam and plamo? Do you think this should signal that they need to make their shit more accessible for us and not super hard to get outside Japan? Is this why gundam shows are starting to get more woke?
>>23042640It means everything is going to keep getting worse.
>>23042640Absolutely nothing because it takes Japan 20 years to actually adapt to anything>wokegod I wish, this board would completely shit itself then
Halfway done with GM Command.Didn't really hit me this was a 20-year-old kit until I saw the single-piece single-color hand+beamsaber bit on the runner. It's kinda sad how much better this is compared to the Zaku Warriors.
for chink enjoyers- do you just go with cheapest and think "eh whateverm worst case i get another" not caring if its ABS or depends if its pbandai knock off or one of their in-land series thats obviously in the realm of legaly distinct looking?
>>23042640eventually. Gundam designs already got more ugly to cater to the west.
>>23042649there are tiers of quality even within the world of chink bootleg kitsyou go look back through the thread you'll notice that JMS or STAR are well-regarded
>>23042631My go to is Mr Hobby Super clear. Waterslides first, then break the kit down into segments- arms, legs,etc. You will wanna get some sticks with alligator clips on the end to hold the piece as you rotate it to get full coverage. You want the part to look wet, but not dripping. But the sticks in a block of foam to let em dry, minimum of 30 mins. Are you goung to be doing it outs?
Why come people paint inner frame just to cover them
>>23042657 Derp, Put* the sticks. Also, what kit?
>>23042658Autism. They judge the value of a model by how much of the weight is paint.
>>23042658No idea, been wondering the same since the first time I saw it 10 years ago
>>23042658most people do hobbies because they enjoy them
>>23042665Is that why they also paint it the same color as bare plastic?
I didn't know this was finally up for preorders too, fucking only found it cause it showed up in the recommendations.
>>23042672oh snap, fuck yeah
>>23042660Long gun is long.
How bad of an idea is it to spray my lacquers in a room with 5 puppies in it? I've got a spraybooth.
>>23042681Sounds like a good way to have 0 puppies
>>23042657>>23042659Thank you! I'm quite lucky to have a small hobby shop locally in my quite rural town, they don't stock gunpla but they do have Mr Hobby stuff and I'm sure they've got the alligator clip sticks too.Not sure what you mean by >Are you goung to be doing it outs?I got these two, I was shopping for the sakura freedom after seeing someone post it here last week and then seeing a reddit thread reviewing it well, and the other one was an impulse buy/a way of getting free shipping lmao
>>23042681Do you want to have less puppies?
>>23042681I don't even know if these puppies are real but if you spray in the same room as them I will longsnap your dick.
>>23042681you'll cause an explosion
>>23042684Woops, ment outside. The weather can affect the look of the topcoat, you dont want it to be to cold
>>23042685>>23042683>>23042687But I have a spray booth>>23042686Oh they're real alright
>be me>look up GM Command reviews>come across ColonyDropModels>watch his GM Command video, pretty good>go to his channel, see he hasn't made any videos in like 6 months, bit disappointed but decide to watch the rest>watch his Kampfer video, pretty good>watch his Zaku II Kai video>half of it is him pissing and shitting about le heckin nootsee helmet and "jokingly" recommending to be careful around anyone who uses the stahlhelm-styled head on the kit>no longer disappointed
>>23042701I wouldnt risk it dude, they literally have lil baby lungs that are especially sensitive to anything potentially in the air. You have a cage, move em outta the room, cage them untill your done
>>23042704
>>23042704Sounds like average gundamfags.
i kinda wanna open a gunpla store in eu myself, how do you go on to get your products? Just contact bandai eu?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8v5KgVzZqsthread theme
>>23042714i wouldn't really recommend it, the official distributors fucking hate you
>>23042701Yeah dude, not with the heckin pupperinos. Do it in another room or outside.
>>23042689Oh! No I was planning on doing it indoors, but with the windows open for ventilation. I have a pretty large dining table that I set up with all my crafting kit supplies, and I don't mind if it gets a little messy because it's old and battered anyway.I also bought a hangar (I asked for advice here last week and someone recommended one) which I'm planning on painting up and adding little guys to so it looks like they're working on one of my models, any recommendations for primer?(I assume the primer is like, spraypaint and therefore I would do that outside)
>>23042717nta, but elaborate
>>23042714I legit feel like my local store just buy pbandai kits off ali and sell them 30 bucks higherFor the rest you probably have to go through administration hell for bandai
>>23042721me when i buy 50 bootleg 3 dollar Z'goks and sell them for 10 bucks each (i'm making a 3 dollar profit because the shipping is 4 dollars for each one)
>>23042723you already posted this here, did you mean to go post it in the /toy/ thread as well?
>>23042717is it because the distributors are french?
>>23042726no, i got an error message, thats why i posted it again
>>23042720this doesn't necessarily apply to all the distributors and I don't want to get into too many details but there's a lot of favoritism for some stores. Getting deliveries earlier or not being punished for putting stuff up on sale before official release date for the region, that kind of stuff.>>23042728The particularly egregious one I have in mind isn't french, I think.
>>23042701I wanna make some fried rice with them
>>23042731well then stop being a coy bitch and drop names so storeanon can avoid that distributor if at all possible or at least be leery around them
Quuuuuuuxilicious
fuckin official kits my fat retarded ass the fitment on this official gm is worse than on the xfs bootleg
>>23042704There used to be a guy who posted this image in the thread every fucking day. I really hope he killed himself.

>>23042278>>23042288>>23042321Katon, Dystrykzero, plastiq ;) popando. So many of them, like rings on my fingers.
>>23042777why are you southeast asians like this? bandai doesn't care about you
>>23042781Because they hate thieving chinks more than bandai hates them.
>>23042534what do you want it for? i made some a long time ago because i saw people talking about it but i've found that it's usually the worst option vs the alternatives for anything i've thought it might be good for. for seam welding all you need is cement if you're doing it right (there shouldn't be any indent left at all if you did it right), for spot filling some surfacer or ca glue+accelerator dries to sandable faster and does the same job, for filling anything even slightly voluminous (like small hollow pieces) ca+accelerator or 2 part epoxy putty is better because sprue goo always ends up drying with bubbles in it because of the cement offgasing>>23042658it's fun, it looks cool, and while it's normally mostly covered on the end product i can look at the photos i took of when i assembled just the frame by itself any time i want to
>>23042777i know this is bait but its really just as simple as chinks providing and reprinting things that bandai doesnt. too bad their quality is still hit and miss sometimes
>>23042779havent tried katon yet
>>23042779i seriously hate popando. they've been buying up nearly all the gunpla shipments and reselling them at almost twice the regular price. they have 90 units of each kit in stock while other retailers get none
>>23042779plastiq boxes have been kinda shit in my experience, stuff gets damaged sometimes. Could be just bad luck and the postal service tho.

Hey guys I haven't painted in years so I'm pretty sure I'm fucking something up horribly. This gloss black base is coming out like shit and idk what's wrong
>>23042858this is a wholely retarded take because "zeek" exists purely as an english localization and isn't used in jaypan
>>23042899No.
>>23042909You put in all that work painting and doing the decals and then put panel lines that look like shit on it. What a waste.
>>23042899First reply to you wasn't me, but yeah I got lazy rescribing to make lines cleaner.
>>23042904are you doing wet coats?gloss really doesn't work well if you're spraying so little it's dry.
>>23042914oh lmao they got me. Honestly, anything that small blown up to the size of that picture is gonna look imperfect. I really like the brownish shades of gray you chose. It contrasts a lot nicer than the shade it was originally.
>>23040740>like 30 copies and they've shelfwarmed hardmeeplemart?
>>23042914Wtf you aren’t me
>>23042658I just like to customise a kit as much as possible besides painting it. Im learning how to add layers of pla plate armor right now. Its autism mostly.
>>23042916That was multiple coats built up lightly. This is a wet coat. It looks even worse. Honestly this is so frustrating I just wanna pack it up and quit for a few more years again.
>>23042828We already know its going to have God is le bad plot.
>>23042941wtf is this shit dude
>>23042941What paint and thinner?
>>23042941Was the paint just hanging out for those two years?
God damn everything's coming out so shitty. I hate painting. I'm just gonna pack it up and quit.
>>23042949It's just alclad gloss black base >>23042953Yeah i guess. It used to spray just fine but I haven't used it in years
>>23042972It probably lumped up a bit while it was sitting. After paint sits you really need to mix the shit out of it.
I want a new dunbine model kit so much. I think they're gonna make another because on this gaianotes website they have a slot for a fourth one. Also I remember Bandai confirming in some announcement that more model kits from old non gundam robot shows are coming.
>>23043002>p-bandai only>no bootlegs in sightthe line might as well not exist
>>23043002>more model kits from old non gundam robot shows are coming.I hope they release a 1/144 scale tengen toppa gurren lagann. I wanna see the earth drowned in plastic.
>>23043002I think they already made every dunbine mech out there except for OVA Zwarth
>>23043010i don't even care if it's overpriced pb only. at least that means they made one. i would nut if they made a new hg drumlo. or anything really as long as its not fucking billbine.
>>23043015I don't think they have a hgab drumlo, just the old ngs. but i wouldn't even mind remakes of the old hgabs. the new hg dunbine is way nicer compared to the old hgab.
>>23037091Was it that obvious? I do plan on making a Nemo Striker from some random manga panel I saw once along with the Nemo Defenser, but I've got a couple more GMs I need to finish up before I get to it.>>23037095Y-you too anon>>23038227I'm still pretty mediocre at scratch building so the whole thing was just a 3d printed conversion kit I got from some Chinese modeler on Taobao via this middle man site, here's the link:https://www.sugargoo.com/index/member/order/index.html#/home/productDetail?productLink=https%253A%252F%252Fitem.taobao ( d o t ) com%252Fitem.htm%253Fid%253D759154995797The guy has a couple other GM conversion kits that I've gotten, like the GM Raid and GM Dominance. If you look up another Chinese modeler named YkLucas, he's also got another GM Land Combat Type conversion kit that I think looks better sculpted, except the guy's put a hold on orders for the next three months.Also, are you me? I'm currently working on a GM Cannon, GM Light Armor and GM Sniper Custom Ver. Ka. Would love to see your GM Cannon too. The head scope and sniper rifle on your Sniper Custom is looking really good, anon. I need to start practicing scratch building more too.
>>23042918Yes lol
>>23043026>Nemo StrikerWould look nice alongside Nemo Cannon
>>23042774it's in stock bros......
>>23042841did none of you retards even watch the trailers before shitposting about them? the narrator literally says the fucking name
>>23042941bro you got some of your pubes on the spoon
just unboxed pure glorious chinese kino are you proud of me yet /gpg/
My kits have now arrived and looking over the HG GM I have a couple questions. First and foremost why is the black rectangle on the chest a sticker? Couldn't it have been a component instead? And two how old is the sculpt? I got jumpscared by the white plastic single piece beam sabre
>>23043065oh my fucking god
>>23043067I'm not trying to complain just genuinely curious.
Is the MG GM 2.0 the best grunt kit
>>23042967grow up nigger. if you have a problem, do something to fix it instead of acting like a woman and crying about it. strip it and try again
>>23043076the fact you're sincere might make this worse. Like, I don't mean to be rude but
>>23043079Instead of scrolling past my post like a real man you replied like a woman
>>23043085thanks~
that Bungle is quite Xa
>>23043085ok
>>23043059Anon I have a spare Iawta Ninja... I could have shared
>>23043095I hate you Rice Shower.
gyaru predators luring me with a HG bolinoak samahn box
>>23043100>no tankyour inferior iw*ta compressor pales in comparison to the mighty timbertechi cant use it til the brush i ordered from spraygunner gets delivered too though, should be around friday
>>23043110Yeah what about it?
>>23042904is this over primer? what grit? it's hard to get a gloss finish over low grit primers or surfacers. if that's it, either use a higher grit primer (1500 or above. even 1200 isn't good enough in my experience) or sand it with high grit sandpaper
all the other january bootlegs are starting to come out, how much longer for my new bride...
>>23042600it has the infamous J4 joint issue since it uses the same inner frame as the Freedom 2.0, so that's one thing to look out for.
>>23043137oh my god
>>23043137I never really had issues with my freedom gundam. Is it really that hard for people to not twist joints in ways they don't bend?
P-Bandai
>>23043141it's so ass lmao
>>23043117>Yeah what about it?>the hotel room door closes>gyaru 1 takes the promised box out of her bag and wiggles it in front of me>gyaru 2 wraps her arms around me from behind and ges "whoaaa~ the p... bolonak samnah, so cool~>she doesn't know her gundams and is dyslexic and her breast are pressed against me>gyaru 1 says "but you can't have it until you show us how much of a good puppy you are~">they make me strip naked then they pull out their phones>"make some peace signs~ both hands">I can't make out their expressions with their facemask but they stare very hard and take lots of pics>I start feeling weird>"EHHHH~ his chinchin's getting all swollen lololol">they run closer, squat down and stick their phones super close, I shut my eyes in embarrassment>gigigigihh!!!>gyaru 2 took off her facemask and suddenly blew air on my penis>"KYAAAH! He went "gigigigihh"! That's so adorbs!!"
>>23043141that's not entry grade that's pavement grade
>>23043145At least you weren't hiaced by a roving squad of mesugakis.
>>23042904it's usually an inherent problem with the paint itself. either use a thinner with retarder added on it so it can level better, or use enamel gloss black
>>23043145you, uh, alright there mate?Anyway I'm gyaru 2
>>23043150That happened with the Barzam II
>>23043150at least he wasn't WHAT?
>>23043156I hate when that happens. They always use pbandai so it's hard to resist.
>>23043065If you are saying about the very first GM HG, its release was april 2001 and you should know that Bandai normally takes a long time to develop a kit.
>>23043159yeah these work bestthough I used Turn X once to lure an anon from Luxembourg, it was fun
>>23043166If you really want to lure one you should try a MG The O.
>>23042967Is that Graze Ritter?
>>23043170Would if I could, anon. Would if I could.
One day I'll have the time to build up that HG G-Savior
>>23043023I want an unnatural love child between the Drumlo and the Zssa in model kit form...
>>23043226this thing is so much better than the regular dudes in armor that pass for grunts
post gyarugod kinos
>>23043188I’m gonna get a HG narrative and replace the exposed frame
>>23043236I can't help but think it's a walking deathtrap, it's just begging to be ammo racked.
>>23043141why the dick thrusters?
Hello /gpg/, need some guidance. Picked this up for a steal at an op shop the other day with beam rifle, sabres and shield; pretty sure it's a Perfect Grade given the size, but no idea which release. Does anyone have an idea?I'm trying to buy some fixed hands for it to pose with weapons if possible, since the posable fingers here are fucked and/or missing entirely
>>23043273Forgot my pic
>>23043033still not as bad as their tower of Raiders or 100+ Kyoukai senki kits hahait's a shame that it doesn't seem like they'll ever do deep discounts to clear stock
>>23043274It's the PG RX-78-2, the first one.
>>23043274That's just the original PG RX-78 isn't it?
>>23043278>>23043279I thought so, but I've got no boxes or manuals so I wasn't sure if it was one of the Kar releases or something else.Thanks lads, that'll help me try to track down some parts
Do any other HG kits come with the MMP-80 with grenade launcher rack aside from the Zaku FZ? Trying to make Killy's Zaku but the FZ's MMP-80 is noticeably out of scale compared to the Zaku I'm using.
>>23043309Grenade launcher rack? Can you elaborate?
>>23043309You can just repaint Zaku Kai into that.
>>23043309Try one of the two resin ones from ProjectV
What gundam comes with the most guns
Have you ever incorporated printed parts into your builds?
>>23043343No. What would Bandai think of me if I did?
>>23043340HeavyarmsX Jumaoh if you want beam weapons
>>23043340do missile pods count as guns
Is there any P-Daban model kits?
>>23043340The master grade GM ground type comes with like 5 different ones.
>>23042748That seller is legit. I asked about a GN Launcher kit that they had up for sale up to until a little while ago wondering if there any plans for a reprint soon. He replied saying he still had a copy left, but took it down due to lack of interest. I asked if he could put up for sale again and he did. The very last one, couldn't find this shit anywhere else either. Thank you very much, Zhang.My only complaint about that seller is that they take a while to ship for some reason.
>>23043386he probably gets a lot of orders and is running the whole show by himself
Shan't be buying chinkoid crap
neat
>>23043392is this the first time Trinity Liger has been made into a kit? I vaguely remember seeing a toy of it but I think it was preassembled
P Bandai is dead.Rest in beans.
>>23043392NEED a black and gold livery Shadowfox
What are the best Grenademan model kits?
>>23043395what happened? did the Canadians find the pbandai molds and destroy them?
>>23043399Bandai just announced they're pulling out over fears of Trump's tariffs. Look it up on Twitter.
I think it's funny how some of you don't have access to P-Bandai lol
>>23043409Holy shit wtf
>>23043409I guess I got trolled cause I looked through all the official Japanese twitter accounts of bandai shit and see nothing but shilling for their products
>>23042672dude you're paying 40 bucks for some accessories don't preorder this shit wait for it to come out then sellers will start to lower the price trying to undercut each other
>>23043417I didn't buy it yet lol
the things I do for coom... 12k yen and I'm not gonna use all those ugly accessories and parts, just wanted this kit for the main girl.
>>23043416they're not gonna pull out of the US. we're their 2nd biggest market. it's not like we're poor canadians or europeans
>>23043422
>>23043423kek if that's true Bandai must be scared shitless of inner city youths toppling one of their stupid 1:1 Gundam statues
>>23043427It's not true. Anon was going on the internet and telling lies.
>>23043427I don't think they've ever had plans to put a gundam statue in america
>>23043422>>23043426Same. She is my type.
>>23043429The weather in most of america isn't really the best for putting up large statues
>>23043438They'd probably put it up in california(unfortunately) which would be fine weatherwise, self inflicted fires not withstanding. Although it's kind of moot since it's unlikely to ever happen either way.
>>23043438nah I'm thinking it's the joggers
where is that Kehaar II rifle bros
>>23043445Earth kwakes nigga
>>23043446let's be honest - if anyone is gonna vandalize a gundam statue it's gonna be a black or white kid. blacks and whites are the 2 races who are most likely to commit crime for pleasure. just look at social media. it's always a white or black kid recording themselves doing something outrageous for attention.
>>23043445California has a few pretty nasty earthquakes a year. It's why they have to make everything out of wood.
>>23043452Good thing those never happen in Japan huhNo tsunamis either
>>23043457>California has a few pretty nasty earthquakes a year.not really. I live in LA and we haven't had a real earthquake since the 90s. the last little shake we got didn't even knock over my models
>>23043456what about brown
>>23043467you'd be hard pressed to find something like that involving us
>>23043466Did you evacuate or is your house nowhere near the fires
>>23043467which type of brown? latinos have a high crime rate but it's usually violent. and their graffiti is usually to mark territory, not to deface property. they also don't like to record themselves the way black and white teenagers LOVE to do. asians have a low crime rate so we're obviously not talking about them. and middle eastern/indian people are more about sex crime.
>>23042828No it's quarks, there are six kinds of quarks notated by uuuuuu
>>23043477what about dune cunes that might self destruct themselves in a gundam like heero yui
>>23043467All I'm gonna say is there's a spic Mazinger statue and it has never once been vandalized.
>>23043477>asians>low crimethey just keep it on the down low like this p-bandai extortion shit[/spoiler}
>>23043484>>23043477Yeah, you're just as safe walking through harlem as you are in ropongi.
>>23043484asian crime is like tax evasion and molesting your niece
>>23043486sounds based
>>23043488hey man that's not funny that's how you turn a perfectly cute girl into a they/them
>>23043491virgin hands typed this post
>>23043495Nope I’ve had sex with big boobs prostitutes
KRW keeps talking about some Destiny shit oh my God who the hell cares
>>23043497prostitutes don't count. even chris chan has gotten more legit pussy than you
>>23043503I don’t care. I don’t even care about bitches I just like tits. Girls without disproportionality huge tits are subhuman to me. If you’ve only had sex with fat chicks or chicks with small tits, you’re still a virgin. Because that shit is gay, they basically look like guys. It’s no coincidence the example you gave is of a fag.
>>23043503His mother doesn't count.
>>23043511I've had sex with hotter girls with bigger tits than you have. And not only did I get it for free, they drove me home and bought me food on the way. We are in entirely different leagues, luxemcuck.
>>23043520>I've had sex with hotter girls with bigger tits than you havenice larp. i dont know who youre trying to impress but no one cares about that same old picture of your drivers license.
>>23043525it's not even a driver's license it's an ID card lol that's why he got driven home after. still doing better than me though ngl
>bragging about sexual exploits on a uzbeki macrame forum most virginal activity imaginable
>>23043535We're over 800 posts in this thread has been over for a while
>>23043537my prior statement remains unchanged.
>>23042608funny enough MG providence's backpack is already small. this is what Metal Build's backpack look like.
>>23043392>>23043394Now that's a big surprise. The protagonist Liger from a GBA Game (Zoids Saga) only a very few minority remembers. Well color my surprised and welcomed since we now have a better look at the Zoids. The only real pics we got are sprites from the game as well as a custom made kit of it using a Liger Zero as the base. I'll say now though with a better look at it I'm not a huge fan of its trinity mane, looks weird.
>>23042608I wish Bandai would just get around to making Librarian Works MS as MG kits. Would love a MG Nix Providence that I could just slap a Launcher Striker on.
>>23043394still waiting for HMM Energy Liger to happen. also LZ Phoenix, Buster Fuhrer, Chimera Dragon, and Gairyuki.
>>23043590I hope they make a Liger Zero 2.0 along with it. The old kit is still decent but it could use some upgrades that the newer kits outshines at.
>>23043589At least the old NG kits are 1/100, so with some work you could make them look good. Not too terrible a base either, honestly.
>>23042600>>23042608>>23043546Can't stand the backpack, will build mine without it
>>23043598Yeah but support for Striker Packs ended years ago for that line. My true dream is slapping the Gunbarrel Striker on all the Librarian Works MS. Granted we don't have a MG Gunbarrel Striker pack in the first place, only as an EG kit. But I have hope, just as the Lightning Striker pack got made because of the Raiden pack that the Eclipse Gundam uses there may be a variant of the Gunbarrel that forces Bandai to make an MG kit out of.
>>23043616i saw a Providence custom that didn't have the backpack, and it actually looks good
>>23043616But that's the best part>>23043619Fuck now I want to make a custom without the pack. With how popular seed is I hope Providence would get an RG.
>>23043491>sister ntrI dont understand the japanese betacoomer mindwhat is with all the mom ntr and sister ntr stuff, he obviously wasn't dating them in the first place, how can he get ntred???
>>23043629>he doesn't keep it in the familyAnon.....
>>23043422better value than an mg the-o
>>23043422my god, tell me the name of this kit, i will buy it
>>23043619A seed gundam without a pack is like a girl without a dick.
>>23043641https://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/en/product/detail/p4934054049301/preorders just opened today, see you in 5 months
>>23043340Pretty sure Leo has a set with a lot of weapons. Of course it is pbandai.
>>23043619>didn't even replace the fin funnels with Providence dragoonsthis is trash
Do the big ass openings on the GN Archer's binders do anything or are they just open spaces? I know they've got GN missiles on the sides but I cant remember if anything fires from them. I checked the wiki but I need to make sure.
>>23042904>>23042941>>23042967Looks like you haven't mixed/shake it well enough anon. You should shake it for good 2-3 minutes. Also, what nozzle size and psi/bar you use for that paint? Might be too much or not enough as well.
>>23043652I was spraying at 15psi from a pretty good airbrush. It's a Grex so it never gave me problems before. It was probably the paint sitting for too long and not being mixed well enough. I'll try again later but I'm too mad to do it anytime soon
>the grexfag has returned to gpgthis is an omen of plentiful times to come. mg turn x reprint soon.
>>23043644Yeah, maybe I will finish 5% of my backlog till that day. Thanks for link anyway.>>23043656>wasn't mixed well enoughI did use same base before and I do know you need to mix it really well to look good. You can also use stocking (if you have) and filter the paint from any garbage in it. If paint was sitting for some really long time. Psi should be fine, but do you use 0.2mm nozzle/needle size or bigger? With bigger nozzle, you will need slightly less psi and trigger as low as possible.
>>23040395Working on the gun, finally getting to sanding the top and sides. I grabbed a vice and these stencils.off Amazon, but I'll need to check the accuracy of the symbols. Hopefully I can use it for the Gyan Kreiger resin kit.
>>23043682Here's the picture.
>>23040942listen here fishhead, I want bootlegs of the ff:>MG MSA-0011［Bst］ S Gundam Booster Unit Type (p-bandai)>RGZ-91 Re-GZ (CCA ver.)>MG RGM-79SP GM Sniper II>RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex" (Ver. 2.0)>1/100 MS-06FZ Zaku II Kai (if you can make it happen w/ the RE/100 Jagd Doga, so can you with this kit too)>1/100 RX-77D Guncannon Mass Production Type (you can make this one up)GET ON ITTTT
>>23043683Didn't know they made gundam stencils. Tried looking for some in the past, but couldn't find any.
>>23043693>RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex" (Ver. 2.0)Why do you want a bootleg of that thing? It's always stocked.
>>23043700He's retarded. He wants a bootleg of the GM sniper that you can find for 40 bucks on amazon at any given time.
bad news guys, looks like im not going to hit that one fully built and painted kit quota i gave myself, I hopped on the marvel rivals bandwagon, now if you will excuse me, i have luna snow to go goon to
>>23043141>tfw it's easier and probably cheaper to just get the old SoC instead that came with a model kit of it
>>23042878>LongsnapNot that anon, but what does that mean.
>>23043693>wanting bootlegs of retail kitsbut why
>>23043715It means whatever he wants for his shitpost.
>>23043657The Grexchad gang runs this general anon, we're ever present.
>>23043719>tfw No MG 3.0 Grandpa
>>23043726The 2.0 is superior anyway.
>>23043700it is? i never saw them at our local stores, if it did, it never came to us for some reason.
>>23043719the Daban Super Gundam was actually a huge improvement over the Bandai one.
I do like some chinkfus.
>>23043145goku from dragon ball z: hey it's me goku
>>23040392that "hair" design on nadleeh really doesn't translate to the model kit at all, looks like a beard
>>23043715He is a retard who has been spamming that word for a year by now. Ignore and move on.
What's your guys opinion on spray paints?
>>23043786They are ok. But the functionality is limited and the investment is massive. Not an ideal tool.
>>23043700>>23043705>>23043719what I WANT is what I WANT you fucking painthuffers, not to mention theyre rarely available in my region, are you cretins just assumes that everything is the same everywhere else on the entire fucking planet?nignogs I swear
>>23043786Don't like em, unless you buy that trigger gun for it. Airbrush better.
>>23043791Bandaifags don't like it when you mention bootlegs in their sight.
>>23043786I bought a couple of cans and only used them once to paint 1/350 Kursk submarine. They're fine for basecoats, single color models (if i was a lazy fuck i would use a spray can on 1/100 Unicorn) or if you want to paint in bulk. It's a decent option if you don't own an airbrush but that's it, i don't use it much.
>>23041502Then wear gloves while doing so.
>>23043786only good at large applications, but too wasteful for small models
>>23041502>He doesn't want to paint retards
>>23043870the itty bitty cans you get from mr hobby are okay
lollmao
Synduality feels like a very expensive money laundering scheme because literally no one cares about its existence, yet Banrise is still keeping it on life support. Atleast they stopped making new kits for it.
>>23043899HG hand is more offensive than that to be honest, it is something difficult to unfuck.
>>23043899i don't really see the problem, surely if these bother you you can paint them? It's a very intricate design, detail and cost have to meet in the middle.
Yo. Anyone ever care about LINKL PLANET, Bandai Spirits's dedicated plamo idol group? No?
>>23043906Is it just me or Tamiya kits have desensitized me from the lack of color separation? The subpar, shallow detailed sculpt can trigger my autism much harder than any mono colored plastic blocks, which is the common trait of Bandai model's sculpt accross all grades.
>>23043899>Eye and sensor stickers that I don't use and just paint instead>Colour correction stickers in grey and yellow (yellow can be annoying to paint depending on what the part is but going via a light tan undercoat fixes that, obviously moot if doing a full respray)>Zeon sticker (will just use one of my decals)Honestly not that bad, will look passable as a snapshit fit on the shelf until it gets to the front of the paint queue.
>>23043910The only Gundam related woman i slightly give a shit about is Nami Tamaki, the one who sang several songs for SEED. She is a sexy hag with himecut and a nice cleavage. Whatever the cutesy gunplagirl crap Banrise is pulling reeks of a delusion that women loves gunpla.
>>23043918I remember Nami Tamaki solely because picrel keeps showing up on my twitter feat (Himari Tsuki from Necronomidol)
>>23043919Sadly her music is not really my taste and none of her SEED songs stuck with me. Still pretty hot, though. Hard to believe she is 38, she looks 20. Thread is almost over so don't cry about off topic stuff.
New thread. Stay on topic, please.>>23043923>>23043923>>23043923
>>23043919>>23043926giwiwh
>>23043910Wake me up when banrise makes anime about em
>>23043918Unless it's Umi Shinonome. While I already know this gravure idol is building Gunpla, I did not know she can make a diorama-style custom. If she was made ambassador for Bandai Spirits, they can finally close the book on LINKL PLANET, who are practically useless outside of plamo-related projects.
>>23043239
>>23043967literally me
>>23044089You will never be a gyaru (female)
>>23043693Wow. I agree with all your choices.
>>23043899like half of these are monochrome yellow stripes, just color correct
