==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

>G kwek can possibly do the Jack-O poseokay i will buy your gunpla now
>>23043947If you really want an ugly gundam with extreme posability just buy G40

>>23043963I love modern Bandai, it's all so silly and fun.
I have yet to see a flood of Gcucks posts on my Xwitter newsfeed. Is this the feminist gundam fatique or Bandai doesn't have enough money to pay the shill artists anymore?
>>23043968It's just you experiencing ego death
>>23043971Thank you.
>>23043975oh shit, wassup mate. How'd the pegging session go?
>>23043979Your wife said its ok for me to buy you those Gwitch gunpla, as long as you let me do her without protection.
>>23043979>>23043980Can you retards shut the fuck up. Are you 12 or something?
I'm a huge fan of Suletta and her show, bought the entire lineup i including Rebuild and Mirasoul dlc, and i do let my wife to fuck other guys. At the end of the day, she returns to me.
Why don't the box covers feature stats anymore, they were cool
>>23043986Because no one cares.
>>23043988Oh.
>>23043927hat stand almost ready for paint. someone should paint one of these in woodgrain for the meme. not me though, i'm thinking of using some tacky sms green/blue colour shift paint with turbodork sized flakes that i've had lying around for over a year because i decided to use something else on the project i originally bought it for.aside from a few welded seams this isn't glued together yet and most of the armour falls off if i move it, but the fact he can stay together and stand with no masking tape (besides the strips keeping the shoes on, and he can stand without those) surprised me after only having built old wave fss kits before
>>23043947It can also sucks its own nards.
>>23043986I think the manuals still do it
>>23043986Why don't they feature LEVELS anymore?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT8gou_Gj2E
>>23043993Oh man, I remember that commercial. It's what got me into kits in the first place.
Is the heat rod wire that comes in the hg gouf kit possible?
>>23043994There's also thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3XQ3tqojZk
>>23043995The original HGUC's is rigid but comes in two styles while the revive's is flexible but only comes in one. You can sort of pose the latter, although it's not gonna hold it as well as something with a wire in it.
>>23043994For me it's https://youtu.be/uA3KKfqUIP8?t=68
>>23043990My grandma has one of these posted up with precious moments figures in her china cabinet.
>>23043616This guy's providence is what made me really like the design. I know that the backpack is part of what everyone likes about it but the Gundam design itself really shines without that backpack.
>>23044036one of the only good designs from seed
>>23044036awesome
Edge Squadron GM Spartan is out. Hopefully sellers will start to decrease the price a bit. I ain't paying 20 bucks for a bootleg GM.
>>23044044that's just effect wings being effect wings. admittedly the quality does match the price, and it's still cheaper than getting a p-bandai kit normally
>30 minutes in>Already finished the torso and head of a chinkshit kitWtf, Aurelius is fucking fast. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7IKFVKwIi24
>>23044054chinkgodkinos are extremely pleasurable to build so they can be done really fast
>>23044054because he already has all the parts cut out and processed at the start of the stream
>>23044055My experience with chink kit so far is: What happens after snapshit? Even more snapshit ofcourse. There are so many fucking parts.
>>23044059yeah but it's not as bad as having to slurp your way through the other arm and leg of a Bandai kit
>>23044059Some of bandai's newer kits are making me feel like that. They are trying to make the engineering more complex and add in all these additional movement details which results in more parts which results in a more cumbersome build. Torsos of gunpla don't bother me but man I'm annoyed with their legs especially.
>>23044036Yeah part of me wishes the backpack was a bit smaller but at the same time I'd prefer that kind of backpack over the ridiculous wings that the Freedom line had
>>23044059Yeah some of the chinkplas are very detailed so it has way too many parts.
>>23043923>all the canadian online stores are out of mr hobby or tamiya top coats.What the fuck these things are super hard to get
My gunpla days are over, I'm a gyaru pla GOD now.
>>23044140Is this even out yet? KINOgama Hobby didn't have it at all for preorder. Also, gyaru is life.
>>23044140Koto might fumble alot, but recently they are consistently based.
>>23043923How do you guys store your accessories? I'm thinking of 3D printing some stuff but is there any recommendations?
>>23044158In the box, forgotten.
>>23044158I keep them in plastic bags in a gundam box. Keeps everything sorted.
>>23044158I have an organizer like this where I keep all extra parts, accessories and stuff. It's really handy when everything is sorted out
>giant robots luring me with gyarupla
>>23044175>He's falling for it, get ready to jump out and grab him!
GM Command snapshitted My hands are stiff from sanding nubs but at least the nubs are goneThe age shows in the limited articulation but it's definitely a better kit than the Gunner Zaku WarriorIt came with two beam saber handles but no beam saber effects>>23044158fishing tackle box
>>23044180oh neat, I have exactly the same glass file. It's great. leaves a better finish than hobby-grade glass files imo
>>23044162I'm thinking of turning the boxes into posters so this isn't really an option, it's what I currently do though.>>23044165do you label them per mobile suit?
>>23044184I didn't like it at first because I was mistakenly trying to use it the way you would use higher-grit (smoother) files but now that I got that nail polishing block and some melamine foam to smooth it out it's good
>>23044180>but no beam saber effectsYou'll have a billion of those later on anyway
>>23043990Damn, this actually wood look good with a wood grain paintjob
>>23044185>do you label themno. I usually remember what belongs to which kit and in case I don't I'll just give them whatever looks coolest. Instead I sort by function, such as weapons, swords, shields, alternate parts, spare parts, polycaps and joints, alternate hands, and cool sprue pieces
>>23044158Chuck em in a empty MG box. Thing looks like a junkyard with how much random crap it has in it . Kit bashers heaven
>>23044158I use the boxes with the nicest artwork to store extra parts, and throw away the rest. I don't like having stacks of empty boxes like a lot of people do.
>>23044190I already have 4 beam effects from my old astrays and a box of blue energy weapon blades from 30mm, but none with the circular connector of the GM Command's saber handles
>>23044054Grabbing this giant chonky boy as my next kit. I need more chonk in my life. Currently building SNAA Martial emperor, thing is basically the same height as MG Sazabi. Makes regular MG kits seem like HG's
>>23044203Couldn't you just whittle it into shape with a hobby knife?
>>23044036I've always thought it'd look good with the ZZ backpack
>>23044209i could but i don't have enough to mentally justify doing it, i only want to use the GM Command as a practice piece for basic weathering
>>23044036Nasty hand
>>23044143no it comes out next month
My friends laugh at me because I've built a dozen gunplas without ever driving an actual mecha
>>23044251TFW I time traveled to 2100 and bandai is still awful.
june is intense...
>>23044263wew, these are making me feel all kinds of things
Coombros, we cooming good tonite
>>23044263god damn.. that chainsaw is so fucking hot, fuck man, I'm getting a boner
>>23044263all the arcanadea look tame as shit to me after the horse
>>23044140I'm waiting for the tomboy
>Named "Tallgeese">Not even as tall as the RX-78
>>23044269You like chainsaw?
>>23044275Everything in wing is smaller.
>>23044278me when i try to remove a small imperfection with the hobby knife without fucking everything up
>>23044281stop cutting like a baby https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA3mhAtXRqs
>>23044282huh so i've been cutting the right way all this time
>>23044282i don’t
>>23043923Oh sweet longsnaps make the op now
>>23044278
>>23044282I've always cut towards me as it gave me way better control, but I was forced into being right handed by my racist mom so I use every tool a bit weird
>>23044295Cutting towards you is the white mans way of cutting
>>23044296it's also the jewish way
>>23044282I feel like this guy has never peel a potato in his life and now making excuses to make the most inefficient guide ever.
>>23044298Oy vey!
>>23044292i think it actually would’ve been better if it was top coated plastic. the orangey yellow parts and the really dark grays contrast too much with the rest of the gundam.
>buy overpriced colored plastic>paint over itPaintrannies are insane
>>23044300guy looks like the kind of fags that keep food delivery services alive cause they order take out 99% of the time
>>23044292>nowI'm convinced OP is one of the guys who gets really upset about the longsnap "meme" out of feeling vaguely targetedCountless threads have snap or longsnap builds in OP and not even because that's all there was in the previous one since the painted builds are relegated to second and third posts
>>23044311based, that's a nice color scheme
>>23044300what about chef pépin? stop cutting like a sissy
>>23044317I unironically love cotton candy colors. It’s a shame troons ruined it.
my bootleg kampfer cleared customsmeanwhile my OTHER bootleg kampfer in eva colors hasn't even been sent yet
>>23044315projection
>>23044315Kek yeah me too. Just judging by his posting style he seems like the same guy as the guy who gets predictably indignant every time long snaps are brought up.
>>23044322cope
>>23044328>>23044315your samefagging is too obvious, at least change up the typing style and lengthfucking amateurs
>>23044331Nah
Ready to get Quuuuuuxed by Japanese theatre-goers?
What are some copes that help motivate you? for me, I remember seeing a decent modeller admit that there will always be imperfections and they just pretend it doesn't exist and hope nobody picks up on them, which makes me feel better about myself misaligning glued pieces, decals, etc..
>>23044337I just punch myself in the face when I'm not feeling motivated. Works in hobby as well as in work life.
AAAAAAAAAARGH I HATE GIRLPLA
>>23044335NTA but 4chan normally consider phone and computer usually counts as different IP, i can pull the same thing like this. It is even more obvious when your screenshot is intentionally phone screenshot.
>>23044343it's trivial to erase (You) with inspect element even on phone
>>23044315Sorry to break it for you but gpg has the same thread maker with that exact username.
>bring up longsnapping>everyone starts feeling threatened and paranoid
>>23044351other way around buddy
oh no no no hexabros
>>23044353>they call these high-quality kits
>>23044352He is this same retard around several threads ago, calling a fucking painted boomer kit with glue as "snapshit" because old people usually paint them accurately to the real thing/reference photos. Eversince this thread, he has been trying to either troll to farm (you) or he is a legit retard who doesn't know what snapfit modelkits really means. And i blame you faggots for throwing around words so carelessly, resulting children like these inbred subhuman lurking around.
>>23044351They know what they're doing is wrong.
>>23044351I am unperturbed because I cover my kits in copious amounts of green stuff and apoxie sculpt. I am a puttysnapper.
>>23044353>>23044356Yeah because i expect something of the size of my thumb to be super high quality.
>>23044362HGs are.
>>23044362Yeah I do
>>23044363I can shove 5 Governor kits into your ass hole and there would still more spaces to shove some more.https://x.com/SAbu6505/status/1294917170678263808
>>23044364>Literall statuesYeah try harder.
This year for sure we'll get Aries and Pisces HGs, mark my words
>>23044353Kino
>>23044371Inevitably PBandai. No one gives a shit.
>>23044375cool so we'll get them cheap from JMS nice
>>23044375I do. Only poorfags and third worlders think that. I do enjoy your tears though.
Just bought this old AC kit ( reprint edition with new box art ). What flaws to expect? There is literally no reliable reviews of this thing.
>>23044381Yeah let's pretend like you fags don't piss and shit your pants upon the most basicbitch retail HG kit being sold for 100 dollars.
>>23044384I piss and shit my pants out of excitement when the most basic bitch retail hg kit is being sold for 100 dollars.
>>23044381willingly shelling out way overprice for a lackluster product just for muh exclusivity is nigger mentality
>>23044382If it's the same as the other kits of theirs I've built, expect an endless amount of tiny details that are hard to sand and easy to lose that you should probably glue, as well as a lot of seamlines.You'll also probably want to paint it since Koto bare plastic has a very cheap look to it.
>>23044392Well majority of plamo has cheap plastic looks to them so that is not a problem to me personally. If i have to paint, so be it. It definitely looks much better than OOB Governor though. Pic stolen from a Jap.
>>23044377Bandai will send ninjas to assassinate JMS workers
>>23044382http://www.dalong.net/reviews/kotobukiya/nx08/nx08_p.htm
>>23044359>retard who doesn't know what snapfit modelkits really meanseveryone here knows what it means, but we call any boring kit snapbuilds mockingly because they are in fact very close to an actual snapbuild in terms of effort and creativityI don't think a kit that's just topcoated and panel lined is technically a snapbuild, but it's still pretty legitimate to call it oneNow if you went through the trouble of repainting the kit in the same colors nobody can call it a snapbuild, but it's still lame and uncreative so they call it a longsnap
>>23044253gunpla at 2100 will be locked behind Elite p-bandai and will be made from ESG-compliant organic plastic that disintegrates after 2 years.
>>23044406bro thinks he has a point lmaooo
>>23044406You have a point
>>23044402Chang has more employees than Bandai's ninjas have bullets and spare hobby knife blades
>>23044406There is no "they" here, anon. The usage of "snapbuild" is also fucking clunky, just call them unpainted because that's exactly what they are. Everyone here mostly have snapbuild kits, you guys are not as badass as you think you are.
>>23044412settle down, champ
>>23044412>you guys are not as badass as you think you areNo I am. Putting chemicals on my robot toys makes me cool
>>23044400Dunno, even by my snapshitter standards it looked pretty offensive. A bit better with their darker and metallic injections, but still pretty cheap-looking.This Jap has pretty good tricks to make them look better without a full paint job: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5Dj6kC4V_k
>>23044414 A painted build is a painted build and an unpainted build is an unpainted build. I'm not gonna compromise with you retards.
>>23044311>overpriced>bandai
>>23044311It's like they tried to make it as unpleasant to look at as possible. They could have used the same color scheme and made it passable.
>>23044416Ptfff it is not even close to being offensive, if anything, that's pretty impressive. You should see those boomer kits without paint, they are horrendous OOB. Yeah the sculpt looks nice but it is so fucking uncanny.
>>23044422Bandai is can be subjectively overpriced because their kits barely having interesting details to admire. Nowadays they have good color separation and that's it.
this general is so cooked lol
>>23044424I meant their other kits I've built, like pic-rel. Their metallic stuff is okay-ish, though the details less since the gold and bronze and stuff is still cheap on thoze.Now, my Vixen is actively painful to look at and I'd break my paint virginity for it I wasn't afraid of breaking it.
>>23044342why? are you gay?
>>23044428It’s “cooked” because of zoomers like you and your nigger tier slang
>>23044430no i'm straight, that's why i'm not interested
>>23044432I like them because I'm straight.
>>23044432>i-im totally straight you guys! Dude I fucking love women I swear
>>23044422be easy on them, half the retards here have never had real hobbies that aren't buying (and complaining about) inexpensive children's toys.
>>23044432bro is straight as a circle
weathering timegive weathering suggestions (where/how much/what kind)i also have tan glaze and smoke paint
>>23044437Here's a suggestion. Stop using the flash on your camera.
>>23044439no.
>>23044429That looks good for an unpainted build. Those injection and minimal color separation can only go so far because in the end, you still have to paint these kits, fully or partially. It is not even close to numerous other kits with absolutely 0 color separation and require painting as mandatory.
>>23044437cute seams
>>23044437the weathering palette is Weathering Master C - Rust, Gunmetal, Silver>>23044439my room is illuminated by a single LED desk lamp which is plenty for me because it lights up the walls and ceiling but it isn't good for blasting light on my workspace>>23044442this is a weathering practice piece stop shitting down my throat
>>23044437remove the seams first
>>23044382Use technical jelly for better and easier parts insertion.
>>23044437weathering bare plastic usually looks AIDS 9/10 times. do the melamine + real touch + flat coat tech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVt5tFnrtZA
>>23044449i have melamine and matt varnish, what is real touch
>>23044451Something you will never get in your life
>>23044411Perhaps it's time to call in the "Mr. Mafia" branch of Mr. Hobby inc.
>>23044036>>23044105The providence wasn't meant to have the backpack.The lore for the unit is that it was a last minute addition because they were testing out the dragoon system.This is why the providence has those pipes in its chest leading to the backpack, it wasn't originally designed for it so they had to add those pipes to connect the NJC to the backpack so it would provide the appropriate power.The original Providence was a CQC unit. The only glimpse we've ever gotten of that configuration is in the game Gundam SEED Never Ending tomorrow. It appears in a brief cutscene with 4 beam sabres in the back.
Gpg is making up more new buzzwords than /v/ did in 10 years.
>>23044457And that’s a good thing. That just means we have a more dynamic and thriving culture whereas /v/ is just a bunch of braindead retards repeating the same old memes
>>23044460decroded
>>23044460Yeah /m/ is thriving...1cm higher.
>>23044445ok fine i do have some tamiya extra thin cementnow suggest me weathering patterns
>>23044469Not gonna spoonfeed you babby
>>23044470I have 3 different model weathering videos already open shitass I'm asking here on purpose
>>23044451markers. only work on top of a matte/melamine sanded surface.
>>23044474oh so they're like dedicated weathering gundam markersi'm somewhat leery of buying gundam markers because i had just a dogshit experience with the default set (red/blue/yellow/white/metallic)
>>23044158for me, it's "drawer full of ziplock sandwich bags"
>>23044469just do the kojima special and drench it in panel liner brown but dont wipe any of it away
>>23044175other than bravern how many giant robots are actually interested in sex with human men
>>23044479that bottle of brown glaze and small pile of cotton swabs off to the side are speaking to me like the green goblin mask
>>23044476these are inks, not paints.
>>23044268you poosted this last thread bro, did you actually buy those resin parts and are gonna build them or did you just get the pic on twitter
>>23044457It's only one fumesniffer who is forcing memewords.
>>23044486I didn’t get any (you)s so I had to post it again so I can get some. Thanks for giving me one.
>>23044430any gaybros sew custom 1/12th scale doll clothes for their girlpla?
>>23044361>green stuffpost stuffgod kinos
>>23044490make sure to post results when you put them together, like this anon on /toy/
>>23044497Thanks I will. I’ll post it on /toy/ too when I’m done. I wait until I finish my builds before I post there because it’s a quality board that is more estimable but here you can just post whatever. Gonna try the clear skin painting thing too for the first time.
>>23044500>it’s a quality board that is more estimable but here you can just post whateverOof.
How's the MG Avalanche Exia? My local store finally got a restock.
>>23044524It's just Exia with few more spare parts for armor. Not worth its price.
>>23044422These threads are flooded with bootlegniggers, anything above 5 bucks is overpriced for them.
>>23044535i can smell the pbandai boxes on your stack shitass
is this okay for my godhands?
>>23044540Are they squeaking?
>>23044542my pn-125 isnt squeaking yet but i did apply oil after using themi have not tried applying them on my spn-120 yet
>>23044543If theyre not squeaking, closing funny or rusting then there's no real need to oil them.
>>23044540Yes but you may want to wipe it away before use. There is always a risk of petroleum oils attacking plastics like Tamiya Enamel thinner vs ABS. The safer option is to use silicone-based oil i.e. RC shock oil.
>>23044535excuse me i paid 11 bucks for my last 'leg
>>23044535the bootleg I'm gonna buy is about 20 in american currency, thank you very much
>>23044345you don't even need inspect element. you can install 4chanx on mobile or use one of the billion mobile apps
>>23044457it's the same retard that tries to force their shartyjaks so it's a good indicator of impending board death
>>23044544>>23044545alright, thank you
>>23044555>impending board deathinshallah the board takes us all with it
>>23044555It’s a good indicator of an ongoing board renaissance. We have such a dynamic and vibrant culture despite the relatively small user base
>>23044559consider the ssance reined in in
>>23044180i think i did the seamline removal wrong on the gm's shins because they're still kinda there but i don't care enough to do it again and they're not that visible if you don't look up close
>>23044571You have to do it again
>>23044572i'm not doing it againi'm sanding them and doing the weathering

>>23044593Hi-Nu wasn’t shown in CCA at all. The only anime feature it got was from that build fighters one.
i preordered Gquuuuuux and i never watched Gquuuuuux
>Bought hg nightingale because of that armor pieces.That schlong armor is speaking to me. What kits did you buy because of some stupid reason?
>>23044603I bought bolinoak thinking I didn’t watch what it was from, even though I watched zeta. Then I looked it up and realized I had seen it before I just didn’t remember it. I thought it was another palace Athene in the anime
>>23044607schlong lust is the opposite of a stupid reason
>>23044602>>23044604well how was i supposed to know that?i didn't watch beltorchika either
>>23044611You should at least watch beltorchika, it’s one of the best gundam animes
>>23044610I-i like the design! Im sure too that it wont be reprinted once its gone.
>says he's gonna paint those kits anyway so no biggie>they show up in his vids half a decade later still unpainteddoes little BIG robots post on here
>>23044607I bought RG Sazabi because i thought i have finally become a normalfag. Biggest regret ever, i was so fucking bored with it.
>>23044619Why
>>23044580SEED is one of the better Gundam series, you should watch it
>>23044618you and me are probably 80% of his total viewers and I only watch occasionally when i'm researching a kit that interests me
>>23044622Because being a contrarian is the only personality trait the majority of people here have.
If I wanted to make a OWY EFF MS squad of 3 GMs and a pair of balls, is there anything special I should do? I was planning to have one of the jims be a GM Cannon. Any other variants or special paint jobs I should give it
>>23044635whatever you like
brown glaze my ass this shit is just regular brown paint
How is JMS Zeta? I was thinking on getting one to destroy/convert/experiment (instead of getting an actual Z hg from bandai)
>>23044642's good
>>23044642plastic is shit like with all chinkshit
>>23044273Im gonna get that now
Anyone here know how to tell the difference between a master grade gundam 1.5 and 1.0? The big difference is the head sculpt, right?
Finally.....
>>23044660It's like a sazabi if it sucked
>>23044660It's like Sazabi but good
>>23044659Read the guide newfag
>>23044273Fuck, I was actually thinking about this plamo line and how I needed a body similar to the clothes worn for a certain character I wanna make a custom of as I dont know how to fucking make anything but robot armor. Looks like Im buying two of this girl
>>23044660It's like Sazabi but bayformer
>>23044664What part of the guide explains the tiny differences between these two ancient master grades?
>>23044667The part where it links to dalong gunpla review
>>23044627It's a pity because he really has big coverage and is actually somewhat entertaining>But where's the GENERATOR supposed to be huh? What powers this thing?You've got to THINK about these things, Mr. Kotobukoya>I wish they'd make a girlpa system that wasn't like you know...fr*nch-made outfits
>>23044668Thanks. I wouldn't think to check there. I feel like I know how to identify which is which I just wanna be sure.
>>23044635make the netflix gm
>>23044671Yeah on the article for the mg 1.5 he has pictures of both of them side by side and lists all the differences with pictures. It’s pretty useful resource.
>>23044271what the lamia's release date isnt out yet
>>23044273For me, it's the reverse trap twins
>>23044674The one I bought on ebay didn't specify which it was but it's probably gonna be the 1.5. It's a 78-3 and I'm not sure it ever got a 1.0 version.
>>23044670i think it's the only reviewer i've seen that was critical of the HG scopedog
>>23044681I actually don’t think the g3 got a 1.5. It had a 1.0 and a 2.0
>>23044686Yeah, looking at it I can't find anything about a 1.5 ever existing. Looking at it being used in comparisons I thought it was the 1.5 because the sculpt is more detailed.
>>23044606You--Yeah, I know you're just fooling everyone on the thread here, so shove the joke in your mouth and move along.One more day to T-SPARK Zone, and the only known model kit lines in there are Realize Model (which is half-toy) and Metamor-Verse. What are you expecting besides the freaky Bishoujo Optimus Prime?
>>23044688>>23044686Here's a screencap of the comparison video. This works out really well, because I bought it for the real 1.0 experience. The color is really inaccurate though.
>>23044692>The color is really inaccurate though.There's like 5 different G-3 color interpretations.
>>23044625which gundam series would you consider to be one of the worse ones?
>>23044694victory and 00
>>23044691so many words are alien to me in that one sentence, i have no idea what you're saying to me
>>23044694NTA but G-Reco
>>23044693it's just such a green shade of gray. I would prefer it be a lot cooler and a bit lighter. I like the 2.0 colors a lot more. Luckily this thing is already gonna need a lot of paint so it won't be a big deal to slather the rest of it too.>>23044694Not him, but wing is painful to watch.
>>23044696>victoryBased>00Nah that was the last good gundam
>>23044694nta but IBO and WFM
>>23044700well no that would be witch
>>23044696bait used to be believable...
>>23044694all of them
wfm was decent midibo was truly atrocious
>>23044706WTF BASED
>>23044704>>23044709Wfm i understand. But why is ibo hated so strongly here? S1 felt like a pretty standard gundam story with even some parallels to 0079. I could see some the writing issues in s2 but at least it was an unique ending for a gundam show.
>>23044709ibo would have been cool if Tacodan died like 5 eps in and Macky was the protag
Witch from mercury was good actually and Suletta is a top tier waifu.
>>23044711gundam fans want gundam stuff, not subverting expectationsalso ugly robots + male friendship is gross
>>23044709true and realIBO S1 was juuust tolerable but S2 went full fucktard
>>23044719literally bending over backwards to be as retardedly grimderp as possible
>>23044711imo wfm was bland but had good art direction, if you went in with low expectations it's a decent timeibo's last quarter was so dumb and bleak in equal measures that it wasted everything I liked about the show. you liked tekkadan? get fucked. you liked macky? get raped. at least you want a cool antagonist? get gaped
>>23044726the antagonists were cool tho
pain
>>23044727actually gaelio was cool but see he was so secondary that I forgot about himthe rest of the faction was absolute poop
>>23044731nah julietta's fine too, her only problem is she's set up as a counterpart to the worst gundam MC in history
>>23044726Really just comes off as you needing a perfect storybook ending or a show is shit.> at least you want a cool antagonist?Rustal and Gaelio were fine.
>>23044736every single time I've seen someone rightly criticize IBO's shitpile S2 some gigantic retard faggot like you crawls out of the basement to huff and puff about muh babbies wanting le live happy ever after endingsno you fantastically retarded motherfucker, that's a false dichotomy, nobody takes you seriously, go read the Daemonculaba short story and jack off to it for the gorillionth time
>>23044743uh oh melty meltdown
>realize I just have Voruna because I did a million conjunction survivals >build and level her This is fun as fuck. Why did no one tell me?
>>23044736I'm fine with a bad ending but come on man you can't say this wasn't written retardedly
>>23044745>build heryou forgot to post progress pics snapchadbro
>>23044745hey buddy, the warframe thread is two doors down
>>23044746it's literally isekai slop level plot armor but redditards will jack off over how profound and deep it is because the villain has it
>lose a sticker>lose all motivation to build
>>23044751You could just paint that part.
>>23044752if im retarded enough to lose a sticker you think i can paint?
>>23044747>>23044748Fuck. Wrong tab
>>23044129didn't they get recalled because of some retarded government-enforced "environmental protections" law that came out recently?
>>23044754It's actually really easy to do. I only learned to paint because I didn't like a sticker.
>>23044660The thumbnail literally made me think that someone made a bootleg FAZZ.
idk I went a bit conceptual and it's a pain to get the right angle + lighting + pose combo on this
>>23044771
>>23044770there is a daban fazz. its shit but it exists
>>23044773tryna bag a tall goth gf as a short kingThese are my two completed kits so far, I was naturally more confident and relaxed on the pharact but ended up making more fuckups... You live and learn
>>23044771>>23044773Looking pretty slick but would really benefit from some thematic background
>>23044746It's got more than a few dumb writing decisions, for sure. Tekkadan and McGillis constantly making bad choices and failing because of it isn't one of them in general, though the execution flounders.But this thread is about models so I'll shut up.
>>23044129Look harder>>23044761Tamiya's spray cans were banned, but Mr. Hobby's are still good for sale.
>>23044660It looks so wrong to me if Sazabi is not in a flashy colour or something.
>>23044782It's sazabi if michael bay designed it.
>>23044774You know what I mean. Chinese bootleggers always completely butcher the original design by fucking up all the proportions and adding three times as much greeble as reasonable, while giving it some stupid-ass completely unrelated name that they stitched together from all the coolest-looking words they could find in an English dictionary.
>>23044788That sounds kino
>>23044788oh. yeah the FAZZ is probably not a big contender for chinkification
>>23044660White with light gray and copper highlights on a black frame is always goated color scheme
>>23044788Then there's a handful of retards who come out to say it's actually better because of it.
>>23044777Thanks! You're right I should at least come up with a completely neutral backdrop
Does the Re 100 Dijeh ever get reprinted? Can't for the life of me find one "near" me.
>>23044796Re 100 pretty much never gets reprinted. That’s why it’s called REEEEEEEEEEE 100
>>23044748>that novaGOLEM
>>23044796re/100 is pretty much dead
>>23044796Yes. My local brick and mortar had one or two of them for a decent chunk of last year.
Does RRR mean it's three times as REEEEEE as Re/100
filth and rust
>>23044775Chicken gundam was honestly such a sick design
>>23044804You should try to make it heavier on parts that are facing down or touching the ground. There's no real reason for the head to be grimier than the feet.
>>23044804wow all that rust drybrushing doesn't show for shit under flash>>23044809i was thinking in terms of black, sooty rain but that would still leave the feet and lower legs grimieri need to go more heavy with the rust because that shit doesn't show nearly as much as i wanted it to
>>23044804Cute seams
>>23044804>all that dirt and weathering>it's still shiny and glossy and looks like bare plasticlol...
>>23044804Your stool's looking a bit unhealthy, should probably check it out
>>23044815i haven't applied matt varnish to it yet retard
>>23044817Well you probably should, retard
>>23044818I will once I'm done weathering
>>23044817it's still gonna look like bare plastic, just with clear matte over it. idk what the point of going through all this work on unpainted kit is
>>23044820Because there’s no point painting it the same color as the bare plastic when it already has the right color?
>>23044820the point is to try out weatheringthat's literally it
>>23044810If that's the case you outta look at dirty cars after the rain for some ideas. Notice how it likes to form vertical lines coming from any nooks that are the last to dry off.>>23044821You're about to start arguing with the autistic paint guy. Just ignore him.
>>23044804You dunked this in a dirty toilet didn't you?
>>23044824>implying there's only one of us
>>23044804i think im gonna puke

>>23044797>>23044801>>23044802Thank you guys guess i'll go for the HG one.
>>23044828There's only one dude here who flips shit about not everything being drenched in paint.
>>23044788you retards still dont know what bootlegs are
>>23044660I'm going to vomit
>>23044834nope
>>23044839It's just you coming in here and throwing a fit almost every day.
>>23044842unpainted kits look like dogshit and it's not a matter of opinion
>>23044845You come in and throw a tantrum every time you see something that isn't completely covered in paint. You actively make everything worse and nobody likes you.
>>23044806Definitely, I bought 2 because I love it and it was in shelfwarming discount
>>23044853i am so fucking madthe rust just doesn't show on camera whatsoever
>>23044853Cute seams
>>23044853nice nubs on the knees
>>23044864>>23044857bucket crab niggers kys
>>23044694The original if you didnt watch it before when it was airing. Everything is janky, in Zeta there was some parts that were very offputting like the MK II doing a backflip after doing a kung fu dodge.
>>23044867You need to learn to handle feedback and criticism better. You should look for how to improve, not take it personally
>>23044872Everything is personal around here bucko, especially if that longsnapper retard posts.
>>23044873It's hilarious how you stopped replying when you got called out for being a pissy little loser. Now you're fishing for people to agree with you.
>>23044872>>23044864>>23044857not mei know better than to give (You) precious (You)s
>>23044853you really should be doing weathering on top of a matte finish. your pigments will adhere better and won't leave as noticeable giant moisture splotches.
>>23044880isn't it better to do it on a gloss coat
>>23044880I think he's going for wet splotches though. He described it as "sooty rain:
>>23044882not for pastels or smeary washes
>>23044882gloss is only for dot filters, everything else is better on matte
>>23044886>>23044891oh, good to know

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time posting. Just wanna say I love this community, I love seeing everyone's creativity, love, care, passion and the help you guys give to each other and new comers to this amazingly fun hobby,Just wanted to show off my finished MGEX Strike Freedom my wife got me for Christmas. I loved this build, it looks so clean and huge! it's my second MG with unicorn on the way,I'm torn between decals or no decals what do you guys think
>>23044804Kino
>>23045070We need for the RG line to die and bandai to go back to the superior 1/100 MG line.
>>23045008Wow, I'm actually shocked this is a thing. Might just make koto my go-to girlpla brand
>>23045008Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't this just a holder with some lines scribed in it?

I fucking hate third party decals dude where am I supposed to put all these lines nigger
Is there any reason to use regular thinner over the leveling/retarder types? shit just seems way better and less likely for painting issues, I haven't ran into any problems so far for the past few months of painting. I'm also that fag going "tfw no leveling thinner in my area" for the past few threads now, I'm running very low on leveling thinner and there's only regular lacquer thinner available in my area. I'm hesitant to use REGULAR as I started with leveling thinner right off the bat.
>>23045131I've always used regular hardware store lacquer thinner and never had any issues
>>23045131>I'm also that fag going "tfw no leveling thinner in my area" for the past few threads nowjust get jumpwind/dspiae leveling thinners online thenand the reason to use regular thinner is metallics. the longer the paint takes to dry the more the metal flakes can come out of alignment and reduce the shien
>>23045138ackshually you wanna use rapid thinner for metallics, not regular thinner
>>23044036Now imagine it with the Noir Striker Pack.

>>23045188Holy basedAdd build fighters to the list too. Same thing.
>>23045188Most uc gundams are super robot slop too. Only the ovas like witp are good because it’s gundam without super powers
>>23045188It's just gundam with martial arts instead of newtype magic. It's very formulaic gundam.
>>23045193Remember when Kamille had the entire powering up sequence (using stock footage repeated every episode of course) with his theme playing on the background before he yelled his catchphrase and defeated a villain of the week with his signature move?DAMN, UC was wild

just played a match in marvel rivals with John Bandai, I know you come here
>>23045392Any builds of not-Bound Doc and that one GM Cannon thing?
why is this chinkino looking so smug
>>23045438He knows
>>23045449About what
I bought the bootleg Gouf for parts, is there any problem using tamiya cement with it's plastic? Can it be used with bandai plastic?
>>23045414of coursealso i think my compressor just broke mid painting sesh. might have to end it all
>>23045457it's probably all ABS and there's a formulation of Tamiya Cement specifically for ABSit comes in this blue-capped bottle and says "for ABS" in big blue letters on the label
>>23045470>>23045457though you can also just use CA glue (superglue)
>>23045470Wait I’m confused. Will regular cement not work with it?
>>23045474apparently not, this is as new to me as it is to you
Why did this general get filtered so hard by seam line removal
>>23045457>>23045474It will work but the bond is not as strong as with PS. You can use it to seam weld and all that but if you're trying to bond parts with any kind of stress on them you're best off using super glue or the ABS formula cement.
>>2304550190% of people who like plastic models don't go beyond just assembling and maybe panel lining them
Anyone know how to get this frosted look on clear parts? I can't tell if this is paint or some sort of topcoat.
>>23045533Why? Shit is actually infuriating. It makes me think that snap fit and pigmented plastic was a mistake. I wish every model kit was like boomer model kits or resin so we wouldn’t have to deal with all these casualfags.
black spartan confirmed to be verified chinkgod kino of the highest order
>>23045533Yup, just needs some panel lining and we're good to go.
>>23045536Sanding with low grits or matte clear coat.

>no payment request for the gquuuuuux from hljDon't come to /gpg/ tomorrow
>>23045576I will just to post the char I came here to laugh at you image
>>23045547I don't think that's plamo
Did Bandai make their Votoms 1/20 just to spite every other company making the 1/24 ones?
>>23045611literally "ours are bigger"
>>23045611Probably.
Is there any japanese shop that has gcucks other than hlj?
>>23045620Yeah
>>23045621Cool, thanks
>>23045571wait until you find out about wing
Someone stop me
>>23045640Stop!
>>23045640YAMEROOOOOOOOO
>>23045640Ebay has one for cheaper if you're in the US
>>23045640keep going just like that, good boy!
>>23045047Going to spoil the magic for you: that's Bob Smith Industries glue. BSI is fantastic shit, but don't be fooled into think it's that hobby shop's brand. I use it exclusively. You can get it on Amazon.
>>23045652Dang thanks for this. I was looking to pick something up that I can just get on Amazon
>>23045060>>23045656Yup! My LGS stocks it and they get it with their logo on it, too. That's just how BSI does things I guess. They also make replacement nuzzles for cheap. I started using Amazon because our lgs just wouldn't order the pink label, which I much prefer.
>>23045659>>23045656I just use super glue gel from harbor freight. It's 5 bucks for a 10 pack and it works great.
>>23045659So I should get this pink one for fixing seam lines I had skill issues with? And the activator thing?
>>23045640There's no stopping a consumer. It's in your blood to buy the next thing.
>>23045676It's the unfortunate result of me having no bitches but yes money
>>23044694How did no one say seed
>>23045640Coomsumeeeeee
>>23045721Because seed is le good
>>23045721Seed is actually very visually appealing to watch at least. The action is great.
>>23045721It's implied by default.
>>23045721nature is healing
>>23045558You seem to really like this kit, huh anon? All time fav?
>>23045738It’s visually appealing because of all the sexy girls and fan service. Nu banrise could never
>>23045545Pshh, lets see yours homo
>>23045640Eh I'll wait for the Zaku
I wish we got a trigger gundam show so we can get some good waifus and plot relevant fan service
>>23045756>waifus
>>23045755I won’t. The zaku also looks dumb. It’s also not like we have any shortage of zaku clones to choose from already. I wonder at what point these just stop selling because everyone already has one.
>>23045756Trigger doesn't make good stuff anymore.
>>23045762Why? I thought they were supposed to save anime at one point.
>>23045761That's like saying they should stop selling the RX-78 in all of the colours, and variations.
>>23045763They're exclusively pandering to mentally ill western teenagers now.
>>23045767Dang that’s brutal. I haven’t really been keeping up with them since kill la kill. I watched franxx and it was shit but I always thought they’d be able to come back from that.
>>23045672Not sure for gap filling. I think they actually have "Gap Filling" on their purple label. It's more of a typical super glue consistency, though. Not sure which takes to sanding and cutting better. >>23045663Most CA glues are more than enough for plastic/resin models. I've found metal to be the big point of difference in quality.

>>23045777Christ I fucking hate modern gundam designs.
>Reply to one guy as a joke>Came back from work and see had a meltdown as he tries to convince himself that the other guy was samefagging.Thanks for the hearty laughs
>>23045791who are you quoting?
>>23045790You say that like any Gundam show after 0079 has good designs
>>23045778Wtf that's just awful. Why even watch at that point?
>>23045777>A Gundam design just for the sake of being contrarian.
>>23045794ZZ, Victory, WfM, Turn A
>>23045794You know what fag I will beat you up.
>>23045794Wing has great mobile suit design.
>>23045798>>23045799>>23045800Sorry, correction: there are exactly two good eras of good Gundam designs, 0079 Okawara, and late UC Okawara
I've been enjoying building kits but I've never watched any gundam anime, is there anything good I should start with?
>>23045804wow based
>>23045763That was 11 years ago
>>23045807fuck dude kill la kill was 11 years ago? where has the time gone?
>>23045806The peaks of Gundam aesthetics were 0079 MSV and Victory MSV and I'll fight anyone on that
>>23045805007900800083ZetaZZCCA (watch it twice because you won't like it the first time)HathawayF91 (watch it twice because you won't like it the first time)Victory Gundam (start with episode 2 then watch episode 1 after episode 4)G GundamTurn A GundamG-WitchThat's it. People will hate me because I told the truth.
>>23045805G gundam is great. It's pretty hammy but it's a completely self contained story so once it's done it's done. It's not like the rest of the franchise but the story themes are very in line.If you're not into hammy battle anime, the witch from mercury is a pretty good entry point since it's also a complete story without any sequels.>>230458120079 is a bit rough to jump right into as a first entry.
>>23045805follow production order
>>23045813>0079 is a bit rough to jump right into as a first entry.just watch the movies bro
>>23045817yeah honestly i've seen both the movies and the show and I say just watch the movies. it gets you everything you need without having all the monster of the weak crap and suffering through horrible animation quality. zeta is where gundam really starts hitting its stride
>>23045811Oh, and of course can't forget about absolute peak
>>23045812>>23045805I like the Build subseries.Turn-A is good, even if it meanders in the middle.G Gundam is great, perfect place to start if you already like general battle animeOthers... 00 is good. There's literally nothing wrong with it.Thunderbolt has "so bleak it becomes comical" issues but I love the mech design.Wing is 90s bullshit but in the best way.SEED is early-2000s bullshit but in the best way.
>>23045814Absolutely insane to suggest anyone torture themselves with gundam wing and IBO
>>23045824Good list. Except I’d recommend waiting to watch turn an until you finish uc and you’ll miss out on a lot of good references in build fighters if you don’t watch previous shows. Those AUs are all good places to start.
>>23045825I like Wing but agree on IBOAt least Wing comes together in some way but IBO just completely shits itself and falls apart
>>23045828Wing has so much potential but any time heero is on screen it's awful.
>>23045829true but to me he's so edgy it becomes funny
>>23045829Nah heero is kino. He’s the epitome of what I thought was cool in middle school
>>23045738lmao no, shit aged worse than MSG
>>23045830The whole part where he throws himself off a cliff because he's too edgy to use a parachute is where I drew the line.
>>23045832this, Wing is laser-targeted at angsty teenagers
>>23045833The fight scenes are good though.
>>23045833The waifus are good though
>>23045777god it looks so good, first good new main gundam design since G-Self. I don't like how the manual apparently has fuck all info tho
I used to think the Deathscythe was cringe but then I actually watched Wing and now Duo is my fav gundam character and I love the Deathscythe.
Thanks for all the recommendations everyone. I should've specified in my original post that I would enjoy a series with a cool female protagonist and also maybe something with an in-print gunpla I can build if I enjoy the show as a little momento of watching it y'know?
>>23045814>0080>Regarded by many as a low point in the Gundam franchise???
>>23045834He was supposed to be trying to kill himself, but because spaceman he didn't have a problem
>>23045834Heero has undergone enhancement procedures, they outright say as much at one point. He's like a cyber newtype.
>>23045842I'm not convinced heero is introspective enough to be able to kill himself.
>>23045841this alone casts doubt on the whole chart even if i agree with it at many pointswhat kind of retard doesn't like 0080 because "le not enough robits"yeah it has a downer ending but it's actually good instead of retarded and contrived like IBO
>>23045845I don't like 0080. It insists upon itself.
Should I get the 1996 master grade zaku ii?
>>23045847bait criticism designed to make anyone responding to it look like they're mad>>23045814>Victory Gundam>"considered one of the best series in the franchise"by whom?
>>23045848Sure, why not?
>>23045850Unfortunately I lost the auction.
I like Gunpla Builders Beginning of G, I don't care that it's even more of a glorified ad than the regular series
popped my backordered cherryi'm not that mad since i'm low on funds and high on boxfort, still an annoying practice
>>23045854All gundam shows are glorified ads
>>23045825wing is great purely from the "so bad it's good" rule of cool standpoint. everything is so retarded that it's just fun, even the stupid (and fleeting) relationship drama is hilarious unlike say seed where they just fumble it and ruin the episode.
Wufei's character arc is a genuine masterpiece and high art on par with Shakespeare
>>23045861>loses duel>Throws himself into the ocean
>>23045859I think this is the right way to do robot shows. Don’t try to make it le ebin war drama, they all just end up being super cringe. They need to remember the roots of the robot genre, that it focuses on being cool and fun and emphasizes the virtues of youth
>>23045865you don't understand, le war le bad, but look at the cool robot though and buy the toys, but le war le bad
>>23044292>>23044309retard niggers
>>23045865you're not very smart, but that's okay so long as it's limited to media you consume
>>23045865This but also the designs need to look like 70s super robots
>>23045872this but unironically
>>23045879I wasn't being ironic
Just Quuuuuuuuux my shit up
How am I gonna watch this new gundam tomorrow
>>23045885you won't you filthy non japanese person
>>2304582400 lost me when they killed everyone at the halfway point then pussied out and brought them back to life but not really because they were too pussy to commit to pussying out as well

>>23045891>>23045672also get some precision tips
>>23045887you daft motherfucker
>>23045891Well I appreciate you bro. I’m gonna fill my seam once the ca glue comes so I can finish my paint job and I’ll post it here and show you how much it helps my skill issue with seam welding
>>23045777>the antenna doesn't have a safety flagthat's a first!
>>23045904It's one big safety flag. I'm gonna sharpen it.
>>23045888I thought they already made every single Wing variant in RG form
>>23045905"so how did you get into custom-building gunpla?""well it all started with g-quacks, the head antenna wasn't sharp enough to kill a small child"
>>23045913I am unironically gonna get one and try to make it into a normal gundam once they hit shelves in the US.
>>23045867>he says, whilst posting on the most hyperconsoomer thread about toys on this board
if the scatter megaparticle cannon on a Dom can disrupt the i-field of a beam saber and cause it to dispersethenyou could use it to parry incoming beam shots
>>23045904not looking forward to painting those grey bolt like things on the vfin
>>23045919anoni don't take issue with "cool robot buy the cool robot"but you don't get to have your war-movie cake and eat your toy sales too
>>23045891I'm worried Volks is gonna fuck it up
>>23045924what is this chonk gtm
>>23045924People buy this then shit on the designs in crossbone.
>>23045925
>>23045929holy kino. this looks way better. look at all this chonk
>>23045798>ZZIt has good mecha designs but ZZ itself is a wet fart of a design
>>23045933agreed, full armor zz is peak though. akitaka fixed it.
>>23045935It's just like how Katoki fixed every wing suit. Sometimes all it needs is some tweaking.
>>23045777Fuck, I'm such a sucker for when they break away from standard Gundam design language.
speaking of FSS, I remember this one OVA with a vaguely FSS looking mech, but it's just the one, and it has this fuckhuge gun, and it blows away a whole fleet of enemy ships. A girl pilots it.
>>23045940Normally I agree with you but that thing is chinese greeble shit tier.
>>23045777I like it because it reminds me of Overman King Gainer
>>23045941You sure it's not literally the FSS movie?Or maybe you're thinking of Dragons heaven
>>23045937>>23045935
>>23045946I thought of Dragon's Heaven but for some reason it keeps bothering me and I keep thinking the gun and the girl were different somehowi must have invented a false memory somewhere between FSS and Dragon's Dream
>>23045943It's not particularly greeblie though. It's got a lot of detail, but I wouldn't call it greebles.
>>23045952nah its definitely greeble. its almost chink tier
Why is this thread so obsessed with "chonk"?
>>23045952Look at the v fin and the tumors that are littered across it.
>>23045960nta but to me it looks reminiscent of antlers
>>23045962Okay? This resembles antlers too.
>>23045952The little bumps all over the crest are greebly for sure. This thing is screaming for a bit of ink all over that red part.>>23045966Banshee is cool though.
>>23045573I'm so fucking happy for this. Bansheeca is my favorite GTM and I will pay whatever they ask for it. I don't even give a fuck if it's lottery-only. I'll probably buy a Chinese recast too just for the hell of it.
no wonder DHL suddenly bumped their costs by like 30% in Jan... they knew Canada post and other methods are gonna be swarmed, Canada post especially. >pay for my snapkinos with EMS >dispatched from Japan on the 8th of Jan>still not updates sinceI would have had my shit by now with DHL but the price jump made me pick EMS... I'm probably not gonna make it in time for the group build, assuming the massive backlog from Canada post's strike is gonna take until late Feb/early March to get through, and then the shit that came after, and the Group build ends on March 31st.
>>23045457I want to use the rotors from the bootleg gouf to make the feet like the artifact version, should i remove this connector or should I use it to connect a small flight control wing?
>>23045969The lottery kit for this year is Fulltrim, Bansheeca is a regular release. So far it looks like only Mirage stuff gets the lottery treatment.
>>23045037Little Armory 1/12th scale MG3https://kusakusa.wordpress.com/tag/mg42-machine-gun/https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10448075
>>23045975>>23045573is it gonna be vsms? resin scares me
>>23045092all that GQuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuux and HLJ couldn't fulfill more than like 20 orders for gaijin I bet
>>2304503730mm Customize Weapons Heavy Weapon 2 also comes with one
>>23045981yeah anyone here actually got it?they really should tell you you're prebackordering instead of preordering
>>23045540This model is pretty fucking sweet honestly
>>23045990historical scale models can be pretty cool when they're not abysmal dogshit
>>23045988>they really should tell you you're prebackordering instead of preorderingnah. if retards cant figure it out they get what they fuckin deserve.
>>23045988don't worry, Bandai-sama is gonna Quuuuuuuuuuxing up their factory by reprinting nothing but that kit, so you'll probably get your copy from HLJ next month, assuming Bandai-sama decides to give the only major Japanese e-commerce site that still sells gunpla to the Western consumers more than 100 units.
>>23045979Not for a while, it's likely to get a VSMS release eventually but the schedule for the next few years is already filled by Bang Doll, Kaiserin and Baga Ha Ri KK. The VSMS line so far appears to focus on designs with prominent manga (or movie) appearances to take advantage of their posability.
>>23045999dang those are some good ones too though. is it just vsms on the schedule or have they announced any more ims ones?
>>23046003The Siren F is releasing soon and they recently announced 1/144 KOG. IMS is still kicking.
>>23045777I dislike the design but looks like a fantastic HG, similar to gundam EX (which I also don't like the design). If I find it super cheap I might get one and try it
>>23045659>their "super thin" glue cures in 1-3 secondshow do you even use this without it drying halfway
>>23046003They're making a 1/144 Knight of Gold but that's it for IMS. Those usually don't get announced at gallery events like this, they usually just get posted online.
>>23045888God Gundam is peak in simplicity. I wish that we get a remake
>>23046009i live Knight of Gold as a mecha design but hate it as a model kit designsame for Hyaku Shikiand Amatsu Minaany mech with a lot of gold really
>>23046015why
>>23046016if it's already gold plated it feels pointless to paint
>>23046017Then don’t paint it
>>23046017You're not supposed t- you know what never mind this shouldn't need to be explained.
>>23046020i want to paint my little plastic menso even though i like gold mechs their model kits don't do it for me
>>23046015>>23046017They've never made a gold plated KOG. People don't snapshit FSS kits.
>>23046020Kek
>>23046022It's painful how retarded some of you are. Inb4 I was just pretending to be retarded.
>>23045990Nice weathering on the cutting mat.
>>23046025It's even more retarded how some of you don't paint.
>>23046023Yet ;3
>>23046029It won't ever happen.
>>23046030Nothing ever happens
>>23045920That's kind of an expensive and destructive parry. That's like saying firing a shotgun at an incoming rifle bullet is a parry.
>>23045973Also related, but I want to use parts of an A10 thunderbolt II for parts, witch scale would be better?
>>23046033>"nice beam magnum shitass watch this"
>>23045988they do usually but a warning on bandai kits at the bottom of the product description saying that you might not get it in the first print run, but i don't see it on gcuck. maybe they removed it when it came out idk
>>23045865I like both. War drama mecha and the burning fury, sacrifice everything to save the world stuff like getter. Only Muv-Luv has ever captured the feel of both. I don't think there's a definitive "right" way to do mecha and I'm glad each type largely exists separately
>>23045920Dom truly is Dark Souls of mobile suits
>>23045814follow production order for UC, for AU series you can watch them in any order since they're all unconnected
>>23045990tiny... is that 1/144? would be fun to have some tanks that scale properly with HGs
>>23046086wait shit i read the chain it's 1/72
>>23046088to-scale with AMAIM kits!lol
>>23046086There are actually some 1/144, but it makes them so tiny it's barely a kit.
I wonder if I'll ever get a new bawoo from z revive
>>23046008I've only used the Pink and Purple with a heavy preference for the purple, so I have no comment.
>>23045955>>23045960Not greeblies!
>>23046092seems there are some detailed 1/144 aircraft at least, spotted this one on scalemateshttps://x.com/Q1uiiit/status/1873358344125288624some day i'll fuck with those
>>23046111Those greebles are probably the size of Gundam. Maybe even bigger.
>>23043927Feel the grease.
>>23046117I didn't realize the MZ was that big
>>23046139I also didn't realize how shit the image I uploaded is, I'm sorry.
anyone know where to buy the bootleg GM Spartan Black Dingo?>>23045539this guy
Alright you fucks, what nippers do you use?
>>23046162Ruitool single-bladed purple handlesgot them for like ten bucks off of aliexpress
>>23046160should be up on ali by now or soon, just keep in mind it's expensive compared to other bootleg HGs because EW is a rather high quality studio relatively speaking
why are we not talking about chinkgod kinos (chink kits and bootlegs) anymore
>>23046165same, i also got hobby mio yellow onesthey are basically the same
>>23046162I recently picked up these. They're like shears. They're weird. I like them.
>>23046170I'm curious on how this cuts, can you take a photo of the cut?
>>23046162dspiae and japhands 120
>>23046173They probably cut like every other dual bladed nippers. Pinching.
damn nobody told me CA glue and putty don't get along. I think they just ruined one of my pieces.
>>23046162A cheap Chinese pair that I bought like 10 years ago because I use a hobby knife and glass file to clear the nubs and thus it doesn't matter if the nippers are good.
>>23046165This
>>23046178Try baking powder next time
>>23046178What happened/what were you doing? Don't use much ca myself
>>23046188using baking powder with CA glue sounds like the most fake troll advice ever even though I know it's 100% legit
>>23046162changhands vbp-120 and libraton a005. they were both about 6 bux on ali. i used to use mastertools 09990 but they chipped at some point.none of these are good enough if you're a snapshitter and need to completely avoid stress marks when cutting flush
>>23046200i have no idea what this meme is attempting to convey
>>23046220the poster's ongoing brain decomposition
>>23046162God hand PN-125's for first cuts, then PN-120's for a clean cut afterwards.
alright it is time to rate builds.
Using CA glue to fix seams is definitely NOT the snapshitter-friendly method. It works well and fast but you absolutely have to paint over this.
Do we have a schedule of what's getting printed/reprinted this month? I remember having a link to that here.
>>23046200Kek
>>23046236sand more until you get rid of all the glue or just use cement mixed with sprues of the same color
>>23046198>Tamiya extra thin cement to bond pieces together >Vallejo plastic putty to fill the gaps>CA glue to fill the cracks/bubbles in the putty >everything instantly splits at the seam and falls apart and yes I did wait several days in between each step to let them cure
>>23046237Yes and no.Bandai used to publish their monthly restock schedule, but found out it was being used by scalpers to plan out mass purchases, so they discontinued it. r/gunpla aggregates restock schedules from various retailers instead and posts that instead.https://old.reddit.com/r/Gunpla/comments/1hqip3g/restocks_reprints_and_ramba_ral_january_2025/
>>23046037Asking again
>>23046236the only way to hide without paint is sprue goo, and even that doesn't always work fully. just paint
>>23046246>scalpersEvery fucking time, thanks for the link though. I've been debating whether or not to buy a new 3.0 grandpa or buy a 2.0 because I bought my current 3.0 when I was still really new to the hobby, I was hoping to redeem myself by doing a full paintjob.
>>23046227Just need some gloss topcoat to finish this. I didn't have a yellow zeon decal on hand but I think the white one looks nicer anyways.>>23046236Cut the excess off with a knife and sand the joint flush and it looks pretty good.>>23046254The 2.0 holds up really well. If you want the best one though, the origin is fantastic.
>>23046246>MG 1/100 ACGUY>HG 1/144 ZAKU II+BIG GUN SET [GUNDAM THUNDERBOLT Ver.]The only two that I want.
>>23046268They've been reprinting the acguy pretty often.
>>23046162Mr nipper singlw-edged and some cheap dull double edged chink nippers for clear parts and general useGot DSPIAE single blade nippers as a backup but mr nipper refuses to die
>>23046008>>23045891>>23045774The purple one says gap filling on it but the blue label thin one doesn’t
>>23046245>using a filler that's so poor quality you need a SECOND filler for defects in the first fillerwtf man, get better putty
>>23046262Can't get over the relatively small head on the Origin, which is why I initially went with the 3.0.I can't seem to find the MG 2.0 sold anywhere in the Philippines though, which is the issue. Every other version of the RX-78-2 is available (including the 1.0, somehow) and the G3 2.0 but not the OG 2.0.
>>23046280>in the PhilippinesThere's the problem. I can't help you out there. They're all over the place in the midwestern united states. I don't think the head on the origin is much smaller than the 3.0. It's just a bit less wide at the top because it's trying to look like it did in the anime originally.
>>23046280Ali Express should ship to the Philippines, right? Bought mine from there last year.t. snownigger
ali still the best place to get peebs when you don't have peebs right?
>>23046288i'd sooner suggest surugaya, legit pb is scaled to hell and back on ali
>>23046279it actually looked fine enough to paint over I was just being a dumbass and ruined it for basically no reason
>>23046291doesn't seem cheaper even used, especially when counting shipping and vat
>>23046200Le mutts law
>>23046162>>23046162First distant cut is my old double-bladed tamiya something for $20, second near-flush cut is single-bladed dspiae 3.0 for $35

>>23045777that is one weird core fighter
>>23046338It’s a tiny dick
>>23046338It's a fucking IUD
>>23045777g-witch gundam designs are really boring in comparison
>>23046346The lack of soul on the right two is staggering
>>23046338Looks like something out of Getter Robo.
>>23046338Nah it's pretty classic when you look at it properly. Barring the styling the structure is typical horizontal-type core fighter with embedded thruster system, like GP01 or Crossbone.
>>23046346From left to right:NormalMtfFtm
>>23046346Nah gwitch has good designs. Aerial is really slick. You can tell putting it next to the g-cuck that it has much more design cohesion while still having a good amount of detail compared to gramps
>>23046356it begins lol
>>23046346wfm kits were amazing, you might like or dislike the designs but the kits were pretty good, and now this motherfucker seems to be even better. That design though, it doesn't belong in gundam imo. It might grow on me with time but right now it looks super weird in not a good wayI'm interested on the zaku like one though
>>23046364The g-cuck looks like it’s gonna be sticker hell
>>23046346Color separation seems to be insane, one can dream we'll get z and zz kits with that level of detail in the near future, right? right?
>>23046364>it doesn't belong in gundam imopeople have been saying this for 40 years
>>23046368Supposedly those pics here are without stickershttps://schizophonic9.com/re9/hg_GQuuuuuuX.htmlHonestly it looks amazingly well done if true
>>23046369HGs? hahahahaha keep dreaming
GQuX comes with optional classic MSV-style marking stickers.Nature is healing.
>>23046355You're expecting me to think that fucking chest on Aerial is supposed to resemble zipper tits?
>>23046338Is that Haro at the tip of the Core Fighter?
>>23046378Those are clearly for a Geats figure rise, you can't fool me
>>23046375With the v fin closed looks better honestlySeems to have good articulation and if there aren't any sticker in those picks it's quite impressive
>>23046356>grampshello, reddit!
>>23046338Quuuuuuuuuxilicious
>>23046375schizophonic only uses eye stickers as he often paints his kits
>>23046378do we have pictures of the foil sticker sheet yet? I want to see the real damage
>>23046424
>>23046426really not bad honestly
>stickers>stickers>stickersgrow up
>>23046429it's a lot more when you consider the red, but the red will get waterslides soon enough. the yellow and gray will be the only thing that will take that much effort to hand paint/mask (whatever you prefer)
I hope the grunt kits of Quuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuux are good, WfM gave us the Zowort which is great.
>>23046346You can actually see the plastic quality improving.
>>23046445The Zaqux is bound for greatness
>>23046447no you can't"plastic quality" doesn't even mean anything
>>23046445i'm expecting a bazillion of zakus for grunts, i'm more interested to see if the other underground combat suits share elements of the quuuuuux like hollow parts and propellers, as a new archetype
>>23046227alright I'll bite, getting into painting and been wondering about decanting. What paints make sense to do that in? Can I just do it for everything I plan to use a lot of? Primer/clear seem like the obvious ones, but I see guides showing pearls and metallics too.
>>23046466you can decant any paintbut what benefits from it most are paints under propellant that need to offgas
>>23046466there's not much reason to bother decanting spray cans unless you already bought into them before getting an airbrush and have a big stash of them that need using
>>23044320Looking at the vid the fag in question cuts like a spaz, quick movements.The chef on the other hand does calculated, smooth cuts that this crouton can't even fathom
>>23046454I would rather have bandai quality plastic than chang's fiberglass infused plastic.
>>23046447I can’t. None of those kits are even that old. The only time I can see improved plastic quality is comparing shit from like 15-20 years ago
>>23046581if anything, bandai plastic has gotten worse recently.they introduced that weird rubbery polystyrene that is easier to cut, but sucks ass to sand
Show me .. Titans scheme Calibarn ..
>>23046595I miss ABS frames. The new shit goes floppy so fast.
>>23046604nah, the rubbery stuff is way better than ABS for joint life. it just sucks to work with further than just using flush cut nippers. ABS joints loosened faster than your mom after a few Mike's Hard Lemonades
>>23046609Kek
>>23046609My old MG Sinanju is still rock solid while most of my newer polystyrene frame MGs have drooping issues. My experience is the opposite. The ABS frames don't really degrade. Older polycap joints have those degrade, but that's another subject entirely.
>>23046624my MG sinanju (ver ka) is floppy as fuck. are you sure you don't have the PS OVA version?
Venus type body pheromone hags luring me with gquacks streaming links
>>23046628Nope. It's the old ver ka. Got it not long after it released years ago. Hell, I've even been a pretty rough on it. I used to take it apart and put it back together again a bunch when I was bored. It's a brick house when it comes to sturdiness and the gold standard I compare everything else to.
>>23046332I don't think it looks like antlers but IF it did it would be hilarious that it's on the tail end of the failed deer anime.>quick, what can we do to try to get more new blood and increase our ever increasing profits?>How about we design a robot that's like that deer anime that just came out? >sugoi! Do it!a year later after it failed>kuso! We can't turn back now! Just ship the damn thing!
>>23046346Jesus Christ the hands on these are atrocious. He’s using the open hands for the new one but the fist hands are the same open fist ones that the other hgs have
quacks gave me lots of hope alas the leaked suits so far are all vapid rehashes
>>23046557ok i take back my statement and amend it to "plastic quality doesn't even mean anything when discussing legitimate kits"
>>23046301it depends on the kit, some are cheap on surugaya while others are scalped
>>23046426>zeon
>>23046466>What paints make sense to do that innoneor rather, the spray cans you already own from before you got an airbrush. buying cans in spraycan form just to decant them is a big fat waste of time and money compared to buying pots of liquid paint
>>23046711I look forward to a Quuuuuuuuux'd up Zeong
>>23046346>mama bear>papa bear>baby bear
>>23046364the gundams were the worst part of the line. wfm had fantastic grunt kits however
>>23046795Unmm ackshually calibarn is a fantastic design
Our Treasure 1/100 Speed bringer
>>23046817Woah
>>23045573>>23045575better pic
>>23046835Holy crap dude. This is so fucking cool. I’m so fucking excited. These look awesome
>>23046853Same. Bansheeca is my favorite and I can't wait to finally have it on my shelf. I'll probably work on it after I finish the Daccas.
>>23046835
>>23046869Yeah that one is awesome. I think it looks cool to have multiple gtms on display together like that.
Don't mind me, just spamming new GTM announcements
>>23046882I'm just not looking forward to the price. And now I want more 1/72 scale stuff to display alongside them. Might get a couple jets or tanks or something
Volks really missed with their grit bringer imo, Tani did it better
>Hobby Lobby has started selling MG Sword ImpulseI do have to admit that I was tempted because I want an ASS for a kitbash project, but I'm already nearing the limit of my complete Gunpla wishlist and don't need to add to my box castle.
>>23046921How much do you have in the box castle?
>>23046916Akira Tani usually does it better
>>23046921I saw them in mentor, ohio too. Just waiting for a sazabi to show up in my range.
>>23046931Eh, I don't like his ZAP too much, too chunky and it's really not supposed to be chunky.
>>23046935I’m gonna find you
>>23046938I agree the Volks ZAP is better and thankfully cheaper
>>23046938Chonk is never a bad thing. Tani was right
>>23046944Find me at the hobby lobby in mentor, ohio once they start getting in sazabis.
>>230462521/48 scale A-10 Thunderbolt. The intake fans should have a nice level of detail at that size.If you are trying the replicate the intakes on the sides of the legs, I would go with a cheap airliner kit, like a 747 in 1/144 scale.
>>23046952Actually I’m just kidding I don’t want to get anywhere near cl*veland
>>23046961Cleveland is actually pretty nice and has a pretty large scene for this hobby.
>>23046956Actually, was thinking more about the wings. At 1/48 i think the stabilizer might be ok for the back pack, but the main wings might be too big
>>23046968That’s not the impression I got from their tourism video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysmLA5TqbIY
>>23046951ZAP is just supposed to look like a twig, sorry Tani
What's the beat Char Zaku II? I kinda want the PG, but I'm not sure about a kit old enough to rent a car.
>>23047009The one you like the most
>>23047009The "best" one is the mg 2.0 but there's not a bad one
>>23046884i need it
>>23047009Pick up the EG.
>>23046817i think i prefer the volks
>>23047029TIL there’s an eg zaku
>>23046926Far, far too much. I think I've added an even dozen to this since taking this picture.
>>23047034of course there is.Does a line exist? Then there's a Zaku in it.
>>23047036Sugoi anon. That’s really an impressive collection. I love when people post their box castles. You have good taste.
>shields were supposed to have a caution decal that I forgot to put in all the other shieldsI am going to KILL MYSELF.>>23045745Not particularly? Never seen this kit posted before so I might as well. Comes with a lot of crap and it's not too pricey because it's Daban. No major issues either. Never dabbled in third parties before, but hey, shit's pretty alright.
>>23047073Is this chinkgod kino
>>23047034there isn't.
>>23047085Well then why did anon say there is?
>>23047089he's retarded. there's only FG/HG/RG/MG/PG/RE zakus.
>>23047094You're forgetting someone
>>23047118SD isn't a gradeMGSD is
>>23046599what kits have (you) painted in titans colors anon
>>23047145Yes they are. Here's bandais beginner guide to grades for you.https://shop.bandai.com/blog/post/gunpla/beginners-guide-gundam-grades
>>23046835Big fan of the robot with the fat gothic thighssnapfit kit when
>>23047154>englishlocalization mistake
>>23047154It doesn’t have “grade” in its name though
>>23047036I've seen so many box piles of this magnitude and I can't help but wonder if the person genuinely likes gundam/each of those designs that much or if it's just neurotic excessive buying.
>>23047074i recognize that weird sword thingit's pbandaigod kino
>>23047164>>23047163Dude mentioned re/100 and nobody is mad but I mention SD and you are.
>>23047164neither does FM and yet
>>23047165That's what happens when availability is dependent on inconsistent and unpredictable reprint schedules.
>>23047165For me it started out as a bit of the latter when I was convincing myself that I had to actually get the full worth out of my new airbrush setup, but the former is my general guiding principle. I actually want/like everything in that image, though some were excessive like trying to build a full MG sized display group for the Jet Stream Attack.The desire to buy more wanes once you realize how big your box fort/castle is.
>>23047220>The desire to buy more wanes once you realize how big your box fort/castle isYeah I’ve noticed this too. I went on some big buying sprees but now I don’t feel the need to buy anything because I have so much. Only if I have to pre order it like p bandai or if it’s super marked down.
Man feels bad that there’s a new gundam I can’t watch. Fuck these gooks for not letting us watch
>>23044660It's like the Sazabi but Tallgeese.
>>23047074>>23047169It's a 3rd party kit based on the Metal Build Astraea
>>23046380looks like some kind of sensor, everything about this design is pulling from real world avionics more than previous stuff.
>>23046338The nozzles on the back of the fighter are based on the F-35 it seems
>>23045228You can buy one but yes it's bullshit.
I’m g-cucked out of watching the new gundam show
I wanna get Quuuuuuuuuuuuxed UP
>>23045646Thanks anon, you saved me like 20 dollars
>>23047386i also want char aznable to sleep with my wife.
>>23047165I have a slightly smaller but still stupidly large boxfort, and in my case it is due to the unreliable reprint schedules. I have a list of kits in my mind that I want to give a full build treatment to over the next ten or so years, when I see one available that I don't have yet I pick it up. The box fort might grow by ten in the time it takes to shrink by two, but at other times it shrinks by ten and doesn't get added to because nothing became available. My one guilty pleasure is that I always buy old kit reprints when I see them in stores, I like the nostalgia of building "proper model kit" gunpla, they are generally super cheap and I want store metrics to show that there is still a market for them
>>23047416>>23047165Speaking of box forts, is there any good way to sell of some of this? I also have a stupidly large backlog and would like to get rid of some of the stuff that I probably don’t need
They just announced it has a vtuber insert song. I never seethed about gwitch because I thought it was innocuous enough that the non-plot-related complaints were reaching but gcucks is going to be beyond zogged. Entire thing is blatantly targeted at anime casuals who have only watched jujutsu kaisen season 2, the cyberpunk anime, and chainsaw man. kenshi yonezu op, hideaki anno (disingenuous faggot), new pokemon artstyle. I'll wait and see until I watch it myself. I don't have high expectations and I'm really hoping it doesn't draw in the people it clearly wants to.
>>23047424Depends on if you want things to move fast and easy, fast and slightly annoying or slow and good return.>Fast and easyIf kits aren't started you can often sell them to local hobby shops (gunpla focused ones at least) if they are out of the print cycle for a while. Expect to get well below MSRP but they will get off your hands. Alternatively, facebook marketplace and b/s groups for your area will shift them quick and people will generally come to pick them up from you.>fast and slightly annoyingeBay at prices that slightly undercut the market, you will have to deal with shipping stuff out but they will move reasonably well. Price slightly undercutting recent sold listings for quickest turnaround that still nets you some coin.>Slow and good returnListings on places like eBay at "what you think it is worth", waiting for local toy fair/model shows and getting a small vendor stand for a day, drip feeding older and rarer kits on b/s groups.
>>23047432Dang thanks for the good and detailed write up. This will definitely help recoup some of the funds spent on impulse buys.
i guess they are giving out artbook pamphlets in the theater or something? idk what this scan is from
>>23047184gundam kits are pretty well always available. I get pbandai or and the stuff that doesn't stock often but most of those kits are almost always in stock>>23047220For me I started buying less after I saw how much time I could get out of each kit. Made me far more selective over what I wanted to work on
>>23047436Bayformers Zaku looking ass.
>>23047431Well said anon. I’m getting the exact same vibes from all the things you pointed out. Between this, wfm, and rfv, it seems like Bandai is really pivoting to a new audience. One that isn’t in touch with the old stuff.
>>23047444oh an anon posted the whole book >>23047182that quxcannon has some wide breeding hips
The whole MS lineup so far feels like RoV. Very greebly and skinny.
>>23047451Guncannon uper armsMASS PRODUCTION GUNCANNON MY BELOVED HGUC REPRINT FUCKING WHEN
>>23047436>>23047451This shit looks way better than the gcucks. I actually don’t know what the fuck they were thinking with that. Zaku is good. Capule looking mfer.
this cool ass jim head gundam is gonna be fucking pbandai isn't it
>>23047475God I hope so
>>23047475That's the RX-78-01 in this timeline.
>>23047478oh shit it is
Not hating new ms stuff since i'm a Yamashitafag, but man, they all seem so...boring so far.
>>23047494I mean that's probably just because there's only 3 designs presented above. The two zakus are the sameThe guncannon light and RX-78-01 have the same body (which we've seen already on the red gundam)the base guncannon is the only real "new" thing here
>>23047436>>23047451>>23047475>>23047481This shit is ASS
>>23047495>>23047451Why the fuck is it the "Light-Type" Guncannon if it weighs 98% of the "not-light" one??????
>>23047494Yeah I get what you mean. They just seem to be missing something. Like you know how in turn a they had a radically different design philosophy to try to convey a sense of futurism since it takes place so long after other gundams. Their designs have a purpose and a methodology. Well gquuuuuux just seems like different for the sake of being different. Like why do they look like a cross between evas and gundams? Dunno. Maybe it’s just to sell new toys.
I wish this thing wasn't so expensive
>>23047495there's also big zam which looks pretty similar to the classic UC designbut yeah gundam (white/red/01), zakus, heavy and light guncannons are the only MS shown so far
>>23047503My theory is they did that so they could just recycle the skellingtons and animations from eva to save costs.
>>23047495Mecha always need more stuff going on with them rather than just " giant skinny human " and i don't care if faggots around here are gonna scream " backpack bad " or " me like minimalism ".
>>23047502Light armament, light specialised industry requirement.Names that don't make full sense until you go down a rabbit hole of context are common in the UC, just look at the GM Command and Sniper lines.
>>23047513Fine I’ll say it.Backpack bad. Me like minimalism.
>>23047502probably has a cheaper, older, shittier reactor model onboard that can't handle running two cannons at once
>>23047510that zaku dummy thicc
>>23047527Lmfao
>>23047510Suddenly I'm not too excited for QuuuuuuuuuuuuuX grunts. I might get a quuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuux Zaku just cause it looks mad stupid with those thick hips
>>23047510>charWut
one more page of zakus I missed
>>23047481kinda neat, I'm guessing it's indeed a reference of these old RX-78 concept art
>>23047546this is set in UC 0085 where char captured the gundam and zeon won.I'm not making this up.
>>23047544Why? These look fucking awesome. I wasn’t excited before today when all we saw was just the gq6ux but now after seeing these zakus I’m hyped
>>23047554I can stomach Ippei Gyoubu whacky but this Quuuuuuuuuuuuuux shit is just too scrawny for me. I also never liked any Evangelion designs besides Jet Alone.
>>23046262>Just need some gloss topcoat to finish this.Make sure you post the completed thing when you do topcoat it. I wanna see it.
>>23047558Ah I see. So you prefer the chonk? I can respect that.
>>23047451all the heads and forearms look far too small for the rest of the suits. very odd porportions.
>>23047558>Jet Alone

>>23047436I liked this Zaku a lot more before I saw those teency little legs, what the fuck.
>>230469711/48 would be too big if its the wings and tail you are looking for. I suggest finding the Dragonar 4 pak that comes with the D-2. They should be kicking around still and the D-2 wings are very A-10ish.
>>23047157never. nobody makes snapfit fss kits. just develop ultrabasic modelling skills>>23047165i do find it bizarre when i see these piles that are 90% bandai stuff like that one, or edven like volks plastic kits that are NEVER out of stock, but it makes sense when it's other stuff because other companies like to go 10+ years without reprinting stuff and sometimes even actually discontinue things without telling anyone
