>>23547167I made him a cloak and hat, primed them, and started working on a base for him. It's not very visible right now because it blends in with the color of the cloak's primer, but I also scratchbuilt a Vulcan lyre to serve as his instrument.

>>2354731030MM sucks because Bandai failed to realize that the majority of their consumer base aren't actually model builders, but anime fans who buy their stuff because of personal attachment to the character (Gundam, Digimon, Kamen Rider).
>>23547295Everyone should have at least 1 Leo.
>>23547255FAT CAT do your job and make a 1/100 of this, the proto zero MG is shit

>>23547369the original Griepe HG isn't much taller though.
Holy fuck the wings on the RG Wing TV are fragile. Somehow I cracked the circle joints on like four separate feather pieces. I can't spread the wings out anymore or I risk the joint breaking entirely. The joints are so thin that my attempts at repair with plastic cement don't hold either. Are all RG's like this? Filled with tiny fragile little joints that slight mishandling will snap them?
>>23547437Show me
>>23547369That height isn't accurate. That's the length of the MA mode. Griepe has no given head height.
I wish Medabots took off in the west instead of Gundam. Just think of all the cool shit we could've gotten.
>>23547465Its good it didn't because I would be too busy jacking off to build any kits
>Order Zabol from cheapest listing on preorder>Seller says it will be sent out by Oct. 5>He sent it like two days ago and it's already on a planeIf it gets to be unharmed I'm adding this guy to my regular roster
>>23547465It was actually pretty popular for a while
>>23547446
>>23547478Oo Hydra is big
>>23547465>>23547477i had a ton of medabots toys as a kid, they were everywhere and all the kids watched it. i'm british though so maybe it wasn't as big in america
>>23547369>>23547478alao btw, that given height for griepe is measured from the wingtips (the end of the purple thingy on its backpack)
What's something relatively cheap and posable for super robots? I have all the SDCSes for supers that are in stock, Infinitism kits are so-so, and the tiny Moderoid for Gunbuster is alright. Worse comes to worst I will watch and love the show for my new friend
Has anyone ever seen these penis tip chairs before?
>>23547488No it's not. The 22.5m is when it's transformed. It's got a total height of 25m, which is counting the backpack. It has no listed head height but the entire thing is a Geminass so it's not going to be fundamentally different than any other.
>>23547483Me too but there was also a lot of SD Gundam Force toys
>>23547493Sir I think you're on the wrong board.
>>23547500I just came back from the dentist and I couldn’t believe the hygienist was scooting around on a giant dickhead wheely chair, it was even skin coloured
>>23547459Ugly!
>>23547483I'm American. It was pretty big in the very early 00's
>>23547517Yes it was, TV show was popular. I think I have a medabot action figure somewhere still, I think it was medabee but I can't really remember.
>>23547494Every G Unit HG have a bit messed up scaling. Bandai assumes they are from Wing so they must be tiny manlets.
>>23547459Too much greeble, especially for a G Gundam kit. Hard pass.
here is it, the base body with the FA config
>>23547542Most of them never published headheights but they were all Tallgeese sized, which despite the animation and plot jerking off as huge is only a metre taller.
>>23547167Getting back to work on this kampfer so I got all the equipment done today. Turns out I just don't have a zeon decal and rank on hand to finish it.Glossy fucking fingerprint magnet.
>>23547556used a bit of silver and red paint for the power cables in the arms and in the underside of the alien head
>>23547555To be fair, it is Devil Gundam
>>23547561
>>23547562When they did this it was to make it look ugly. It's official recognition that tons of panel lines look like ass.
>>23547563next step is to work on the extra large backpack
>>23547567>Complain about an ugly monstrosity having a kit that looks monstrous and ugly.
>>23547576I'm someone else. I was just joking about the panel lines in that picture.
>>23547561I hate this
>>23547585I hate faggots like you
>>23547587You're a faggot for liking that gay ass shit
Don't care.I will NEVER buy a gbitch kit.I will NEVER buy a gcucks kit.I WILL buy more Wing kits.I WILL buy more Seed kits.I WILL buy more IBO kits.I WILL buy X kits (when I'm in the mood for it).
>>23547562It's greeble in the wrong way. That Chinesium kit looks like it's trying to make the Devil Gundam look more "real" with the angles and panels. Your picture shows the Devil Gundam as "evil monster" ugly which is fine, that kit is "wrong aesthetic style entirely" ugly which is not.
>>23547613It's in line with RG God look

>>23547662GUNDAM FEEL READY GO
>>23547667your sobs can't disturb me for I am the master of my element, one with the comf, I love P-Bandai
>>23547667You can buy all pb shit from the same chink resellers you'd order that Devil Gundam from
>>23547669yeah I don't know what the deal is with more kits having vfins like that now. I just carefully shave them off of my kits if the line-art in the manual doesn't show them with it
>>23547671Well joke's on you, Mandala Gundam still looks like a stupid dorkI'll be having the last laugh when they release the RG Nether Gundam for mass retail>>23547675But I'm a good boy who doesn't buy from resellers
>>23547680Then perish!
>>23547680in 2035 when they finally release Bolt Gundam my dominance will be secured
>>23547679back then, the flags are small enough that it hides itself when viewed at certain angles. the one on >>23547671 is so hilariously huge it looks like there's two huge bulbs at the end of its vfins.
>>23547682FUCK>>23547683I'm getting the sad feeling that he's going to be mainline and then Spiegel will be p-bandai, so it'll just be a lonely Bolt Gundam next to the two RGs and HG Master and Nobels.It's going to be genuinely funny if they make an HG for Nether and that's the only thing available for everyone
>>23547667I’ll share my plug with you Leafbro https://gundamaker.com/collections/p-bandai
>>23547689Why the fuck would they make Bolt retail
This is a cool random gimmick>>23547687they've been doing it that way for a little while now. The Banshee isn't a great example since its v-fin is pretty big and doesn't need the same safety flags, but they were definitely a bit smaller in the past. As an aside the only v-fin to ever give me any problems was RG Impulse, which broke just clipping it from the runner.>>23547689It wouldn't surprise me that much if the Shuffle Alliance HGs got NA retail status like the Wing upgrades. Wish it'd happen for Death Beast especially, or for it to get a reprint sometime soon. I can't think of a single realistic reason Bolt would end up retail. Spiegel maybe has a shot at that I guess? But I doubt anything is escaping PB. If they do an RG Rising I'd expect it to be PB too.
reprints landing in flipland right now
how are the Kotobukiya armored core kits? I heard some are super garbo, but they made plenty of those and I guess at one point they became decent at least? I'm seeing plenty of good deals for preowned items in amiami but I don't know whcih one I should go for
>>23547787They're pretty much all the same quality but the ACV kits use a very different construction method overall. The only one to do any research on is White Glint.
and here we go.... MGEX Unicorn bootleg, coming on December
>>23547667They actually might be in the process of bringing P-Bandai Canada back, the website stopped redirecting and started loading again
>>23547669>>23547679these are unironically easier to remove. you use the overhanging parts to line up your flush cutters and take them off in three cuts.
really cool of bandai to release an expansion set for the MG TV Wing Zero binders in the RG, but why didn't they include 1/144 scale wings with it?
if i preorder something from USAGS and include in stock items in my order, will they hold the in stock stuff until the preordered items arrive?
>>23547846I get it you like RG Wing Zero. Now move on.
>>23547846Now I actually think that anon is right that these could be used to turn MG proto zero into WZ TV.Sorry for doubting.
>>23547855It's mostly pretty good but I am legitimately considering using the binders for the MG now.
Wing Zero's foot transformation has to be one of the most overengineered retarded transformation elements in the whole franchise
>>23547840Just make sure your cutters are sharp as the pressure of a more basic cutter could snap the fin tips.
>>23547886You only say that because you haven't seen how the ZZ's legs transform.
>>23547846That’s so wack
>>235474595'11" vs 6'0"
>>23547892yes I have, the ZZ's leg transformation is actually based and simplistic. This contorts itself into a pretzel to move a thruster already facing down in MS mode into coming out of its fucking heel for no reason
>>23547900The ZZ awkwardly flips its lower leg around lengthwise in order to replace thrusters on the feet with a hidden thruster inside the leg for no reason.
>>23547907the reason is to expose that thruster instead of a footthe wing zero isn't exposing shit it is just eating its own foot with its leg and moving the thruster to face the same direction it was already in
>>23547909My point was that thruster has no reason to exist in the first place. The zz already has thrusters in its feet. Why make some sort of hidden thruster in ms mode to replace a thruster with a thruster. I think the WZ leg transformation is stupid and pointless too but the zz is just as bad.
>>23547914>Previous thruster gets damaged>Good thing it has another thruster in MS mode.Well that's a relatively simple answer to your question.
>>23547914the ZZ does not have thrusters in its feet and even MS with thrusters on their feet don't have as large of one as ZZ conceals in each leg. What are you talking about? It replaces them with a large thruster for purposes where it will not need feet, it's got a clear purpose and the transformation is ultimately very simple.
>>23547759How is the MG Zeong?
Is this the best FAG?
>>23547932the Jacket armour is definitely in the running for my favourite FA yeah
>>23547932& Is this second best?
>>23547932It would be if the chest armor fit the F80
>>23547936no it leaves a lot to be desired and doesn't even have a cannon backpack
>>23547938It doesn't?Fuck me, there went a plan
Im putting on some primer on my parts and wondering if I can just skip out on the surfaces that arent going to be visible anyway. Not sure how far I should go with assembling them before applying primer.
>>23547939bitch, it's got TWO cannons.
>>23547947looks like shit
>>23547949just like my dick after I take it out of your butt, gay boy.
>>23547932I am tempted to buy F90 and multiple mission packs just so I can combine them to make F90 N.I.G.G.E.R. pack
>>23547947a proper FA should have one (1) over the shoulder gun and one (1) two (2) barreled beam riflesimple as
>>23547936That's pretty lame
>>23547953considering the guard type is asymmetrical you can actually do this
>>23547952>agefag calling other people gaypottery
>>23547694>the regular retail G Gundam HGs already have a 50% markup>almost a hundo for Mandor and Maxter eachTh-thanks>>23547698It seemed like a final kick in the nuts of "oh here's one pity kit for retail, we're completely capable and willing to release mainline G Gundam stuff but we only decided to do it for the least popular one">>23547704>if the Shuffle Alliance HGs got NA retail status like the Wing upgradesI thought they'd do it for the anniversary...>Death BeastI know the Death Army kit has like, extra bits or ports or whatever in full anticipation of this. I passed on the regular Death Army one because it looked scary, but I didn't think it'd remain unreprinted as they're releasing more p-bandai G Gundam kits. Even the Nobels were still gone and I'm lucky I got a Master Gundam.If Spiegel's mainline I'd be happy. I'd love to get all four Shuffle guys but just having Spiegel with Domon's stuff would still make me happy. Rising I think is a bit too niche for anyone to care about. I'd like one but it feels like one of those things that should actually be p-bandai, in a world where everything else was mainline.>>23547836Please, Lord
>>23547147what the fuck what could you possibly make with this
>>23547958I am an evolved lifeform, my tastes are inscrutable to the lower class and the south east asian mind. My level of intellect can only be achieved under the tutelage of the Texas public school system (ranked 41rd for education in the nation, BAYBEE).
>>23547965an entire alphabet of mission packs? Obviously?
>>23547932I'm an F90 hater and this is actually ok.
>>23547941Not the torso anywayThough you might be able to modify it
>>23547967>evolved>age>not a seamonkeyyou guys seein' this?you can't make this shit up
>>23547973Oh, that's not too bad. But annoying they wouldn't design it to fit.
I had an idea for a very long term build/paint project of going through the GM series and ending up with a Jegan or something, but then I realized the color scheme I had in mind is pretty close to the color scheme of the MP Nu Gundam. How much work do you think it would be to convert a Nu Gundam kit into the MP?
>>23547932for me it's the F.A. Stormbringer and the Thunderbolt FAG
>>23547974May you be shaken to your core when you realize that I, a work posting anon, am an AGEfag.
>>23547987I want to see the other guy when he's done!
>>23547987my core do be shaking, as my sides are in orbitlaughter is the best medicine; I grow stronger
>>23547980For backpack and arm cannon you can buy that new chink conversion kit, as for the rest dunno
if I were sticking grass or foliage type stuff onto the model itself what adhesive would I use in that case
>>23547996I accept your consneedsion.>>23548000I'd probably use some sort of watered down pva glue depending on what you're trying to do. Are you trying to make it look like mossy and overgrown?
>>23548000pva glueyou want a little bit of flexibility
>>23547998Got a link or brand name of that conversion kit? This is a very long way off from even beginning so I got time to practice and plan regardless, especially if it's a resin kit. As for the rest of the details, I'm not super concerned about it being totally lineart accurate. It is gonna be an OC donut steel ace custom after all.
>>23547932Nothing says Full Armor to me more than the Full Armor ZZ.>armor plates all over the body and even an extra abdomen cannon>shrugs off beam weapons like they're laser pointers>armor plates hide shitloads of missiles that massacre whatever they touch>can be equipped with a huge fuckoff cannon capable of repeat fire
>>23548004>>23548005pva glue got it, yeah I am going for a overgrown type look in a sense
>>23548008most important:has a single over the shoulder gun and a two barreled beam rifle
I heard we were talking about full armor gundams :)
>>23548013all armament, no armor
Hmmm today I will buy 1/72 Y-Wing and X-Wing
>>23548013That's a fully armed Gundam, not armored
>>23547925it's great for its time, but it's starting to show its age now. It doesn't have a full inner-frame, the head cockpit is just a hatch with no cockpit behind it. It does pose really well though, and there's other gimmicks like the detachable head and various movable thruster nozzles and verniers.
>>23548022>no A-Wing and B-Wing as wellDamn Rebel scum can't consoom right.
>>23548025ummm, its got 3 shields, that's more shields than most full armor gundams.
>>23548034A-Wing out of stock unfortunately but I'll probably get the tie X1 as well. Not a B-Wing fan
>>23547980If it's the incom version, you'll need to figure out how to create the backpack and the incoms.
>>23548040I swear to god I've seen a 3rd party backpack kit before to convert the MG Ver ka to this. I just don't remember where.
>>23548007Brand is THEWIND and according to the modeler it's plastic. Currently up for preorder on USAGS
>>23548036Where's the third shield, I only see the two on its arms
>>23547980>>23548040But if it's the fin funnel version of the MP Nu, it'll be much closer to the regular Nu Gundam that you would not need a different backpack, just extra surface details and different beam sabers, a thick ZZ style saber on the backpack and a regular saber on the back. Also no saber on the left forearm.
>>23548044you can see three sets of twin gatlings in that picture, the 3rd shield is on the backpack, attached to the gatling guns visible behind the head
>>23548044on the back, you can just barely see it behind the gatling guns
>>23548048>>23548050What the fuck, I didn't know the Unicorn was so cool... but this is getting a bit greedy
>>23548042>>23548043Irony.
>>23548055there's also the alternate full armor version where it equips the unique psycoframe and addon accessories from the Unicorn Banshee unit 2 and Unicorn Phenex unit 3
>>23548039Understandable the B-Wing's a very love it or hate it design.>>23548043Thanks anon. That comes with the arm gun too right?>>23548040>>23548046Yeah I'm also not sure if I want it to have funnels or INCOMs yet either.
>>23548078It's called the Perfectability, and it's Piss Bandai exclusive in HG, RG, MG, and PG forms.
>>23548081>That comes with the arm gun too right?Yeah, it also comes with an adapter for funnels hi nu style
>>23548013>Jobs to base Banshee.I cant take it seriously when it missed 99% of what it used.
>>23548087Might go ahead and buy it then in case it goes out of stock.
>>23548102I also can't take it seriously when the half-mangled kshatriya shows up and then does more to fuck up the banshee in 2 minutes than banagher did in 20 minutes
