Anyone think they're going to offer a P-Bandai expansion pack for the MG ZZ that's just the Enhanced ZZ and Full Armor parts, so that we can just convert our MG ZZ into a Full Armor ZZ without having to buy the new kit?
>>23579898I finished the nightlight and it's automated in place! Worked out well despite the early setbacks with the blue destiny attempt. Working on a Godzilla right now.
>>23579904That's pretty much what they did with Narrative B Packs.
>>23579898MG leo. I broke one of the vernier mounts ages ago and repairs made it floppy, At the time there was a shop that was selling the tallgeese MG for cheap so I picked up a replacement.Cut like 5mm out of the shin and want to keep the armour removable and cut out the chest intake vent to replace with styrene sheet. Not sure what my plan is yet for the kneepads (shouldn't be too hard) and head
>>23579739Needs a 1.5 with the Neo Bird transformation gimmick since it still shares parts with the fully transformable Wing EW. Don't care if it will be P-Bandai or Gundam Base, just let them do it!
>>23579910Neo Bird is more of a Ver Ka thing. It doesn't have that in most of its incarnation.
So I built the skeleton, weathered it up real nice. Now I'm building the body and just on a whim put an LED in the mouth, figured I'd put a touch sensor to turn it on. Found a place it'll work through the plastic so it'll be invisible.
>>23579915>so it'll be invisible.Oh it definitely is.
>>23579894From your experience how well do gunpla joints handle being repeatedly unplugged from their sockets over time?I'm making a game with them as game pieces and was thinking about having destroyed limbs as a mechanic.
>>23579915Had to redo the webm, but here it is. Trying to decide if the touch sensor is better down in the crotch or chest.
FA Gourai 2
>New HGs of the EW designsWingbros won bigly.
Fuck, they're actually releasing that thing in different scales.
>>23579935>Fuck we ran out of robots for the musume line - quick, slap some shit together!
>>23579913Who designed the Endless Waltz machines in the first place? Katoki, of course. And he even redesigned the Deathscythe Hell and Altron for the Glory of Losers manga, which is literally a retelling of Episode Zero and the main story with new equipment.
>>23579654tf are those proportions? looks like a manlet with fridge bod hahahaha
gunpla gets me laid
>>23579958>posted with picture taken in clearly redditor's bedroom in mom's house
>>23579927Ended up putting the touch sensor in the foot and charging sensor in the groin zone.
>>23579971You gave Godzilla a vagina?
>>23579962Having a collection of cleanly made gunpla demonstrates dexterity, attention to detail, patience and implies access to disposable income - and that's without talking about painted kits or more complex customisation.Definitely gets you laid more than playing vidya or being a whiny bitch online desu
>>23579973That's just personal qualities, it has nothing to do with gunpla. Realistically you'd get "Are those transformers toys? I thought you were so mature..."
>>23579973Ya'll got it twisted, I'm in a different stage of life. I just think most women would view it as weeb legos, especially when close inspection would give a naive's version of the snapfit opinion. No one breaks down other people's hobbies like that unless you're in a Sherlock Holmes fanfic broski.
Look at this guy's craftsmanship and disposable income... gonna blow him...
>>23579949EW Wing Zero doesn't have shield and Neo Bird mode in the OVA. Its transformation capability is a retcon.
>>23579958>Gundam WingmanIf it gets you laid are you taking them on dates or do you just whip out this picture or...? Where does the gunpla show up between not having benis in vagoo and having benis vagoo?
>>23579975>>23579976I'm litterally getting married in a couple months. She's never seen them as toys, but very much as art projects - probably because I'm not a snapshitter. This is litterally her own explanation of why I never got the "why do you buy transformers" talk.
>WomenOnly trans are discussed here bucko.
>>23579981No different than a rich girl's doll room.
>>23579976Every girl that asks about them asks me for photos of them whenever I finish one, most normal people that care about you are happy to hear about other people's hobbies.
>>23579986need a wife like her
>>23579993One that posts her butt on the internet?
>>23579994To be fair, alot of guys post their abs on the internet. Same thing honestly.
If you got it flaunt it. Thats why I don't post my kits. I dont got it
>literal on-disc DLCjesus christ!
>>23579972I uh, I wasn't intending that.
>>23579972Isn't that canon? Godzilla has a son and there is no "female Gozdilla" around.
>>23580000I love how all of these could have been included in the box. The retail HG has a paperthin box.
>>23580004I know that the American godzilla from like..2003 or whatever, "Zilla" is female. But I've never considered the other Godzillas male or female, just...monster.
>>23580000Oh hey, 01 is real
>>23579971All done. Sometimes when you set it down some places, it can trigger the touch sensor. But it's reliable with your finger. I think it's pieces of wire on the instructions that are doing it. Now the less straightforward task of painting the dude.
If they're really going to make another Astray then they better make some interesting weapons for it instead of just the usual katana and that's it.
>>23580000I'll be buying it.>comes with the FUCK YOU KYCILIA bazookaBased.
>>23580006Smarr famiri businass, puris underastando and supporto us with your money>>23580018Thank you!
Koto is confirmed to be making Ortus
>>23580017>then they better make some interesting weapons for it instead of just the usual katana and that's it.It does, but those are alternative extensions.
>>23580020Ortus and Nightfall.
>>23580020as expectedwake me up when we get a mock up/date
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).
This looks like it might be fun
>>23580029Well, you got many of your wants, just no Leopard. Barbatos 7th Form is happening (hidden inside a display case for confidentiality reasons, probably to be revealed this weekend), and we also got the HGAC Sandrock Custom EW. I pray they also give us the rest of the EW HGAC in short order throughout 2026.
>>23580014>>23579927>>23579906Neat!
>>23580034>neatreddit
>>23580030Kits without articulation in 2k25? Really?
>>23580040I wouldn't want articulation to ruin those curves.
Okay faggots, it's the 17th so where's that MG announcement?
>>23580050>>23579232
>>23580055:(But we have two Astray already.....
>>23580055I feel naught but disgust.I'm going back to bed.
>>23579958Horrible collection.
>>23580011no it's the 1.5 from 2021 with a pbandai coating on it
>>23580040good. we need more of that
Not gonna lie, Gqux Hambrabi is kinda tempting. Is it PB or retail?
>>23580096Retail.
>>23580093Which is perfect enough for Amandara Kamandara. The shinier, the better.
What were the new MG's annonced?
>>23580111Read the thread.
>>23580096I'll be getting gq hambrabi just because it's pretty unique looking. Yamashita is a good mecha designer.
>>23580110It doesn't have any undergating though
>>23580110but you will destroy the coating when you fix the seam lines, and no undergating like the other guy said
>>23580055On the one hand, I am disappointed it is not the Nu Gundam MP and it's another Astray Gundam. On the other hand the old Astray is getting kind of outdated now. Even with topcoat or floor polish the waist joint on that kit will be loose no matter what and slapping any backpack will make it lean back. Not to mention the hands can't hold the weapons well. I am looking forward to this mainly for the variations, I hope we get Lord Astray Omega and Gold Frame Amatsu Mina finally in MG.
Oh wow, finally, Plamatea is making their own Shitpla!
>they gave him the swordabsolute cinema>piss bandainvmi belive in chinks
>new ashtraylooks cool, but no pack?lame
Chink RG 7th Gundam
>>23580151It's one of those RG 2.0 conversions, innit?
>>23580152Yeah. They're doing the Mudrock too.
>>23580151It's a race to see who makes the Full Armor 7th first. China already has shown renders of it at least.
>>23580142Probably a commemorative release since the basis of the design itself is still tentative.
>>23580142The grey primer model kit actually looks better than the colored one to the left.
>>23580022I hope this new Astray finally leads to Mars JacketBut bandai never misses the opportunity to miss an opportunity
>>23579898good enough
>>23580195lol
>>23580030give me Guren and we'll talk
>>23580142Looking at this picture again, this is going to be a nightmare to build.
>>23580142Who is in charge of the mg line so that I can cave his skull in. Out of all the things to make an mg out of, its another astray?
>>23580030I want the fucking Raptures as model kits, I can buy the girls as figurines.
I bought a MG F91 Gundam (it comes with a Cecily minifigure). Seems like an old kit. Is there anything I should watch out for?
I've been reading japanese reaction and damn they're PISSED. >I'm sick of Astray...>Astray again?>why's Sandrock so expensive? 4000 yen is too much. I might as well buy a MG>I'm sorry for those who like it, but I don't think there's much demand for Astray?>whelp, it's Astray as expected. so disappointing.>Is Astray even popular? why does it keep getting made?>>because apparently it's super popular in china and Bandai prioritizes them over us>>yeah and there's that china-exclusive premium bandai Astray recently announced too. they don't care about us anymore>this Astray doesn't even look different from the previous Astray. wtf is Bandai thinking?>the ASTRAY SEED FREEDOM version, to be honest, made me think, "Another Astray?" I'm more interested in the Silhouette and other MGs>even morepremium bandai that I can't buy!>what's the point in making it (pbandai) when customers can't even buy it?tldr: またアストレイかぁ... アストレイ、もうお腹いっぱいよ
/gpg/ - Youtube comment section and reddit reposts general
>>23580222Now if only they would put their money where their mouth is and stop buying bandai's shit so bandai can learn a lesson. They never will though.
>>23580219The 1.0 or the 2.0?Also both are generally solid. The 2.0 didn't really need to exist, but has slightly better articulation and is compatible with Bandai's generic LED kits.
>>23580222good>アストレイって結局海外向けでしょうもう日本向けには何年かに一度出せばいいって考えなんかな>正直、アストレイあまり興味ないんだよね。海外では人気みたいだけどね、、>アストレイはわかんないからスルーですよっと
>>23580229The 2.0. It showed up all alone among the usual SEED MGs in my local hobby shop so I bought it on impulse.
I CAN FLYI FLY HIGH WATCH THE SUN RISE IN TO DAWN
>>23580227Probably nit picking from yaraon or that youtube ragebait anti matome video.
>>23580237And you think the 2.0 seems old? Are you mad? How old are you?
>>23580244>I CAN FLYthis is not actually part of the lyrics BTW sorry to disappoint
>>23580246Anon...it's been seven years...
>The eyes are stickers
>>23580250That will be 700 dollars, gaijin-kun.
>>23580222>>23580230There's no way this can be right. Sure, these days Astray might be Gundam chinkcore (just look at those MB designs), but most Astray Gunpla was made when China was a tiny, mostly poor market. Japs were carrying it back in the day.Nice to see they're getting fed up with it though. Bandai's destruction can't come soon enough.
>>23580244>https://youtu.be/PrxQ8y64xt0?si=GnBKsg2-X7gNPf9bOUTTA MY WAY POSTING THE KINO VERSION OF THE SONG
>>23580250It's a blanket.
>>23580256Yes I would like to pose my PG Nu Gundam laying down.
>>23580252Nah, people who comment like this doesn't have gut to do that, they usually comment with their thrownaway id while keep eating the same slop that they criticizes. See Pokemon latest launch
Why can't it be MG Rising Freedom instead?
>>23580258Yeah, it would be a pretty cool display with some scaffolding, open hatches and a few crew figures around it
>>23580022>fake seed gelgoog looks more like a gelgoog than the real seed gelgoogKind of surreal
>>23580260>MG Rising Freedomnever happening
>>23580222Stupid japs not realizing that this astray sale might fund the development of their favorite jobber ms kits no one buys like Bolinoak Sammahn.
>>23580268>fund the developmentbandai isn't some company operating in their mother's garage. What a shitty excuse.
>>23580268>no one buys Bolinoak SammahnBitch that shit has been Sold out there
Gentle/m/en.How do we make Sentinel and Advance of Zeta extremely popular in China?
if it was going to be SEED I wish it was a Destiny 2.0 or some shit at least and not Astray
>>23580270Funny innit, all those robots that nobody will buy and need funding from seedshit always end up selling out.
>>23580244Are these gonna be around MG size?
>>23580282They are around 25 cm tall.
even MG Lagowe would've been better than fucking ashtray
>>23580244>hey, buddy!this is the koto kit right? now that is something I'm really loooking forward to
>>2358028227cm, i assume that includes the guns
>>23580264Gelgoog Menace has original Gelgoog armament. Mars Jacket is more like a Gelgoog Jager homage.
>>23580282>>23580288this video was streamed like 2 months ago, Koto showed a preview of the final product and it looks fucking huge, check how tiny the white glint looks in comparisonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Par6CcIWOno&t=820s
>>23580283>>23580288DamnCan't wait for Ortus, hope they make Waltuh's AC as well at some point
>>23580256>>23580250>>ruin the entire design>>put tape over the eyes and say it's anime accurate nowwhy does Bandai hate Nu Gundam
>>23580276more greebles
>>23580295HG Nu is as close as it can get to Izubuchi's lineart. They can do whatever they want with PGU, it is for wealthy collectors anyway.
>>23580295Bandai is like Asian parents that beat their own kid and eventually say 'see he turned out good'.
>>23580295The eyes and sensors will support LED faggotry anyway. It is fucked regardless.
Balteus is a big guy
>>23580303FOR YOU
Do people really want to buy this oversized toy? With things like mobile armor then i get it, they look weird and have presence on the shelf. But Nu is just a basicbitch humanoid robot, the scale is not worth it.
>>23580305I bought the PGU RX-78-2 because of the unique gimmicks at the time and I had no RX-78-2s at the time (still don't.) I likely wouldn't buy any other PGs though. I'm sure some people will buy the Nu as it's a popular design which is a shame.
>>23580303Is it a resin kit?
>>23580305It looks fun to snap together
>>23580305I would buy and PG Sazabi as it would probably have a limited print run.
Tell me...why are glorious Nihongo people unable to purchase glorious Premium Bandai products despite being the first with their own P-Bandai store?
>>23580312who cares?
>>23580305well, people bought Metal Structure Nu Gundam + DLC Fin Funnels and its 3x the cost of the PGU Nu
>>23580312First of all, blame Chinese. After that, blame Korea. If they feel like it, blame SEA.
>>23580314Answer the question.
>>23580315Are people actually buying that shit? I don't think I've ever seen photos of them anywhere.
>>23580315Action figure people will buy anything so no surprise here. They don't have to build it.
>>23580315So why did Bandai release two premium releases of a giant Nu? Isn't that self defeating? The people who REALLY wanted a 1/60 Nu and were loaded with money already have one.
>>23580321bandai chases yesterday's trends while simultaneously trying to make poop trend.
>>23580321It's an action figure and caters to a different demographic.
>>23580305Why are the forearms so fucking bulky?
>>235803212 different branch company
>>23580323>different demographicNot really. Both are aimed at rich oldfags. Except PGU Nu is trying to eke out that niche of oldfags who are rich but have free time to build a giant model kit. Wouldn't be surprised if the Metal Structure Nu ends up being the more profitable one.Bad implications for the future of the hobby.
>>23580276Make a HG TR-6 but add enough greeble to make it barely recognizable and make sure each pointed edge can double as a stabbing weapon
>>23580326Rich enough to buy toys and rich enough to buy high end modelkits are literall night and day, anon. What seems ridiculous for modelkits is just entry level for toys.
FUCKING DUSTthis is the type of shit that makes me beat my wife! if i had one!
I have no clue how people can use the droppers on AK or TTC to gauge the right amount of paint to the right amount of thinner.I should really just default to using a pipette like I do with tamiya.
>>23580329I'm go out on a limb here and say not even recent Metal Builds cost $600 or $700.
>>23580246Why did you think Im mad? I was just being cautious asking for any possible defects to avoid, I like the F91 after all.
>>23579993Boywife maybe. There's a surprise in those panties
>>23580326if that was the case model kits would have never existed since toys have always greatly outperformed model sales
>HGUC Ball is like $24-25 CAD ($18 USD)I like them but why the fuck are they so expensive, I swear they were $22 before, which was still expensive for these two tiny things
>>23580332just thin by eye
>>23580335And don't forget the shovel chin.
>>23580333Until you realize that Metal Build toys are 1/100 scaled. It is just that bad.
>>23579898It's coming together
>>23580336I doubt that's still true. Toys are pretty dead/completely pivoted away to the high end collector market because everyone have iphone, but model kits are an activity and still sell really well.
>>23580335Checked to confirm this, you're right.
>>23580343Bandai should just sell kit versions of the metal builds. Or at least China should start doing that.
>>23580346Is this based on the RG? What conversion kit are you using?
>>23580305I will buy it, but it's going to be something I'll wait and see about first. First batch might have flaws that need to be corrected in a second batch (which will be near-impossible to get the mail-in replacements for as a westerner), and tariffs will be fucking murder so the patience to wait for an opportunity to buy it cheaper is a virtue.
>>23580347Toys production is always meant to be fucked because most of toys, especially the pretty, high quality ones require alot painters and toy modelers to decorate them. With inflation, you will have to pay them more and more. With modelkits, you can cut them out completely.
>>23580268>fundRetard
>>23580350Daban been doing just that, but they aren't quick enough.
>>23580336Well I'm thinking more of high end model kits. It's very likely we will never actually see MG Kshatrya or 1/100 FA Hyaku Shiki Kai because it's just not profitable for Bandai to make one of those instead of making them as high end toys.
>>23580362>It's just not profitableOh! I thought Pbandai was made explicitly for kits that are potentially "not profitable".
>>23580351It's the double fin funnel-type with some paint and a new head crest. I'll be using THEWIND's backpack parts when those make their way to the west.
>>23580364I guess. I just don't see Bandai making, say, a MG Reborns and selling it on PB.
>>23580362It is much easier to produce a colorless blob then hire people to paint them. Not cheap by any means, but it can save them alot of time from figuring out the engineering.
>>23580362Anon, those are perfectly profitable designs. Unlike those shitpla and 30mm no one asked for.
>>23580337>poorfag about to go bankrupt due to $3 price difference for plastic toytragic
>>23580364A master grade kshatrya would be like 300 dollars minimum.
>>23580373and that's with no tariffs + tip + shipping + sneed + fuck you
>>23580373Oh! I see, so bandai doesn't sell 300 dollar metal builds?
>>23580376>>23580325
>>23580379So bandai doesn't sell 300 dollar robot damashi and metal builds via pbandai?
>>23580376Toy collectors are fucking nuts and are willing to spend a ton of money on stuff.
>>23580365That explains some things. Great work so far
>Pbandai was made explicitly for kits that are potentially "not profitable"enough this copethese days P-Bandai exists to fleece old diehard fans from their money while Bandai floods store shelves with shitpla and 30MM slop no one actually buys
>>23580390What cope? These are the excuses I have been given by bandai shills.>That kit is pbandai because it wouldn't be profitable, be happy you got it anyway !then in the same breath>no, that kit can't be made because it's not profitable
>>23580395destructiondeathTomino's eternal victorythese are the things one must pray for
they are gonna be running a whole scam with that new astray>any backpacks? PBandai>recolors PBandai>remote chance of a new form like the delta or dragon forms? Lottery based AND PBandai of course
>>23580404but the chinks are the problem obviously
The Duran Type that came with the SOC Walker Gallier was technically a kit (more like a half finished toy) so it's nice to see it again.
>>23580222What kits do you think Japan considers America pandering?
>>23580417Probably Wing?. Being the west entry point, i dont know how popular is in Japan
>>23580417I dont think Japan cares enough about the US to think any kits are pandering to us. They've been brainwashed into hating China so they think about them more than us.
>>23580420Wing was very popular in Japan. If anything the Netflix Gundam would be seen as American-pandering since all the characters look like ugly western video game characters.
Where are the kits that pander to me specifically?
>>23580404And?
>>23580350>Or at least China should start doing that.Already exists with the Hi-Nu and Destiny
>>23580317Buy Chinkgod kinos
>>23580425Yet the EX-kun sold out there
>>23579925They will definitely degrade, but a easy fix is putting a tiny drop of acrylic paint into the socket hole, shove the connection part and just let it set. Works wonders
>>23580426
>>23579958The lack of posing makes me irrationally mad
>>23580438cute
>>23580426sorry, bandai won't make a model of a giant unwashed cock
>>23580434I didn't say they disliked it. You guys are always itching for an argument, aren't you?
>>23580426https://www.hlj.com/1-12-scale-unchi-set-ysk-00268
>>23580426Bandai injection machine kit was out for a while
>>23579986It's a dude.
>>23580039Faggot. There, the balance is restored
>>23580454don't care, I've fucked dudes before
>>23580250Most kits are unfortunately
>>23580222The Japanese are the most beta consumers ever, a few complaints won't stop this thing from selling like hotcakes. The SEED kits sell everytime and it sure as hell isn't Americans making up a big percentage of sales.
>shit's drying>no plamo contentsigh guess i'll fight with gpg then
>>23580472I've posted three painted builds in the last week. I'm tired boss.
>>23580472>no plamo contentWhat does this even MEAN
Maybe I should paint my Zabol...Let's see what paints I have to use since I'm too broke to get any new ones right now
>>23580475gaikotsu is too busy getting pegged
>>23580371Even if it's $20 for two Balls and $10 for one GM, a Ball still shouldn't cost as much as a GMWhy does the twin Ball set cost as much as a Gelgoog
>>23580491The Ball isn't really THAT small volume wise.
>>23580268the japs want any of the suits from the movie, not Astray.
>>23580492It is quite literally the size of a nub
>>23580438Sorry, I'm not a Republican.
The flying police car from Silent Moebius is getting a kit after like 30 years
>>23580222wow japanese fans are vocal about the new mg and they are not happy. Theyre discontented with the way bandai's releases are going and the whole astray. I guess they were holding out hope for a UC kit. There's even a petition that's garnered thousands of signatures to have the mg changed. Obviously that wont happen but it shows how unhappy they are.
>>23580530and have you ever noticed how they don't make gunpla in bikinis anymore
>>23580533what
>>23580222You know what? Bandai should just make a wuxiang gundam series. It could be the flashiest shit with martial arts and godly bullshit, the chinks would love it. Sun Wukong Gundam would be a massive hit to the changs.
>>23580537if you know you know anon, and I guess you just don't know.
>>23580491The only reason the GM costs that little is because it's literally an old 2001 mold and they refuse to design a HGUC GM Revive. And for the most part that's fine since GMs are used mostly for army building, s the low price point more than makes up for the old design.The HGUC Ball comes with not only extras for the cannon, but also small display stands. Getting two for the price of a more modern HG kit is still a good deal.
I think the Hambrabi is the only Gcucks kit I'm interested in. Well, until they make an FM or an MG.
These things look pretty cool but I just don't understand how anyone could be sexually attracted to them. I wanna buy one and paint it real nice but I don't want anyone to think I'm a furry.
>>23580547Do you seriously believe they'll make a 1/100 Gquuux Hambrabi? You gotta be joking my dude that is one design that absolutely never getting a FM/MG
>>23580548Nobody is gonna enter your mancave and see your furry figure
>>23580552No, I was talking about Gcuks kits in general. The Ham is the only HG in the line I'm interested in, but I'll consider a different suit for a 1/100 kit.
>>23580548I already think you're a furry.
is the new astray just a final upgrade form lowe creates in the new seed freedom astray manga?i dont even think anyone has even read it seeing no one can corroborate if the design has even appeared/been illustrated on page yet
>>23580142>2.0 for the redframe>MG Amatsu Hina no where to be seen despite getting a HG and RGWho asked for this shit? The proportions especially head look complete ass. >>23580222>4K yen for the hg sandrock>its fucking REALHAHAHAHAHAHA bandai is really out of touch, and their fans are the ones to blameThey're the nintendo fans of model kits, I've been warning about this price creep for years only to be pushed backed with the same old excuses.Now whats ninten-bandai shills excuse for charging MG sandrock/newer RG prices for a happy meal slop kit.
>>23580538There litterally are SDs themed after this already. I got a God Gundam clad in golden and ruby armor and a Wukong Impulse Gundam similarly decked out in gaudy golden armor and a shit ton of clear parts for various DBZ esque transformations with colorful auras.
>>23580562None of these words are in the bible. Say all this out loud and see if you feel as retarded as you look.
>>23580545Fuck, if it was $22 I would and should have grabbed it>modern Balls have as much articulation as the old GM even though there's not much else you could ask it to do other than outright be the MG ver Ka>comes with two single and double cannons but you can only equip one at a time>comes with two dinky stands that it really needs, probably looks even better panel-lined>literally is and comes with everything you could ask for from BallsIt just gets me that this costs as much as an older but still decent kit like the Gelgoog or Zeong. Ignoring the Zeong which used to normally be $30, is it at least worth it for the amount of plastic I'm getting? Is this worth it? Was sent a nice and silly video that's making me rethink everything.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHavTPrbGKg
>>235805541/100 GQwucks Psycho Gundam
>>23579898Finished the assembly of the Unicorn with the metal parts.This setup is a heavy fucker at 657 grams. I have one of the newer PS Action Base 1s and it is creaking. I might have to go dig out one of my older ABS ones for this as I'm pretty sure ABS is stronger in this scenario.I'm not sure the metal frame actually is helping much. The right arm is still pulled down by gravity and I had to very particularly balance it for this picture. The leg parts actually prevented me from attaching the leg grenades as they are built for the base/Banshee/Phenex also. The kit is very bottom heavy and I'm pretty sure with the booster stand I could make this stand on the ground. I was hoping that I'd be able to pull one of the SEED poses, but that isn't happening. I think any of the additional tightness is outweighed by the weight of the metal. Maybe if all the third party parts were in the alternate plastic that came with the kit it could be more balanced.Will eventually decal and top coat this, but I really need to take a break from this. Glad I chose not to paint this as I would be feeling more annoyed with the effort this took for the result. Will likely just get a normal Unicorn to paint up (maybe the new MGEX knockoff or the real thing).
>>23580578This kit is so exhausting to paint. You made the right call.
I love girlpla so much
>50+ MG Kits>Don't have the will to start building and painting it all.Someone help me.
>>23580595wat is that big boi in the upper left?
>>23580597mo show toys colab with a fully made vthor
I got so used to chinkpla prices that I got a mini heart attack seeing the price jump on some hg like aerial while shopping for Christmas presents.
>>23580589It would have been my first painted MG also. Will probably do the MG Crossbone Full Cloth or F91 instead.
>>23580604It's only 18 fucking dollars dude what the hell are you talking about you guys are the gayest drama queens in the entire modeling hobby. Fucking gunpla builders make me cringe so hard sometimes
>>23580622Those are both great kits. Be careful with the elbows on the crossbone. They're fragile.
>>23580603>moshowGoing to be a figure then ? Don't think they ever did a kit
>>23580578Minor issue getting this onto the shelf. Not sure if I should do sideways or be extremely bold and have it be in a falling pose. Or just remove the boosters. These really should be moveable like the RG Hi-Nu 's.>>23580628Noted on the elbows.
Mr hobby cuts cleaner you guys lied to me.>>23580305Is that a tiny japanese man or the pg nu just that big.I haven't built a pg yet.
>>23580638Also one other thing I noticed is they flipped grays on the Unicorn at some point between the OVA and the FA or in the reprints.My old ~2012 Unicorn has dark gray for its frame, with a lighter gray for the bazooka (the gattlings were from some magazine). In the FA the frame gray is being used for all the weapons, and the weapon gray for the frame (can only see it on the hands here since it was replaced with metal). I wonder if this was intentional?
>>23580625Hey man, I was shopping in person at various hobby stores because they usually have deals for the holidays. Don't ask me why they do it so early. They jacked it up to 25 when it was 15 about six months ago.
>>23579898Guntank Desert Island edition.
>>23580654>Normal price 15>Jack up to 25 before Christmas season>CHRISTMAS DEAL: 20
>>23580657
>>23580660
>>23580547>I think the Hambrabi is the only Gcucks kit I'm interested inSame. It has a really nice silhouette, which is something that can't be said for a lot of GQ designs imo

>>23580767The forebear of shitpla.
I miss the build days at my local hobby shop...
>>23580779you understand why we had to ban you though right
>>23580195Nice work!
>>23580767OG bearguy is coolBearguy III is the domain of pinoys and transgenders
Bros HGUC Nightingale is kinda big and I don't know where to put it.
>>23580794clearly you dont need a bed with such a nice kit
>>23580794into your storage bin, disassembled, until you can one day move into a bigger living space
>>23580695The anon who made the femboy fumuna flauros is the ulquiorra of /gpg/ (4th strongest, but is hiding their power and when they're not holding back their power they skyrocket all the way up to 4th place)

>>23580142Lets starve the buyers 2 years and then throw them another astray gundam those pigs will learn.
>>23580794Put it on a string and hang it somewhere.

>>23580796It can't even fit in a detolf. I'm going to have to rethink my displays. Here it is with a couple other large lads.>>23580806I've always wanted to do some hanging displays of some models but I don't think my landlord would be happy
>>23580142>Looks to be an entirely new mold>Still uses the old hands
>>23580814Out of all the old MG hands the Astrays gave me the most problems. Two of their thumb holders cracked on me on Blue Frame 2nd and D.
>og backpack Yep gonna get this one.
>>23580809Nice taste. Jelly of the funnel effects for the Hathaways. Wonder if there's a third party equivalent I could buy.Glad I skipped the Gihren's Greed Gustav tho. The colors might be the same, but looking at the lineart I could swear they weren't their HF selves. Glad to know I wasn't crazy.
My local HL has some MG F91's in and it's 40% off week, but my backlog is already so big...
>>23580820I kind of like it despite hating seed, though I'm also getting a lot of michael bay vibes from it to my dissatisfaction. I fear that in the proper colors it's going to look even worse.
>>23580824I should check HL, I want that kit.
>>23580824Could be like me and have the standard and Harrison F91 in your backlog
>>23580794>>23580806
>>23580822Thanks! I got two of them but had to move one out to fit the Nightingale in for that shot. I'll grab at least one of the new ones, maybe two. I love the Gustav Karl so much, waited so long for HF kits. Eventually I'd like to make a basic cityscape diorama they're fighting in. Passed on the minelayer Messer but maybe in the future, I've got three Messers already and wish I could just get the backskirt upgrades standalone.
will /gpg/ laugh at me if i straight build and paint a girlpla for biomecha. i have no meat robot ideas
>>23580861No.
>>23580709sexy. gq has some cool robots. haven't watched it though
>>23580861no
>>23580308I dunno
>>23580861No
>>23580820that's the Seed Freedom edition backpack for Red Frame though. you can definitely see the mechanism to lower the backpack to the back skirt armor so you can attach other backpacks
>>23580861yes, everyone else is lying to get a bigger laugh bro.
>>23580861Yes. Just because I want to be a contrarian.

Pick a girpla kit for me to paint, I am not into legos.
>>23580883But I would never lie to you anon
I saw two Kshatriya at my Hobby Lobby on Wednesday and then just went back after deciding yes I should buy one for 40% off and they were goneit's not fair brosand when are they reprinting the fucking kshatriya repair
>>23580899buy the Undeaddress Isis, make sure its the DX version. it comes with the coffin-transforming robot with attachable cock and swappable nude tits parts for the girl
I haven't started my group build yet
>>23580903Which hobby lobby?
>>23580913one in Maryland
>>23580888?? It wasn't even posed...
>>23580918How do you know when they have the 40% deal?
>>23580920exactly.
>>23580920Neither is your V or other Unicorn really is his point
>>23580921it's franchise wide, an anon here posts about it usually. They do it once a month.
>>23580924Got it.
>>23580923Both the Victorys are pretty much given the actual kits. You can't twist the waists at all, which pretty much just leaves aiming a bit off to the side as the only thing you can do besides A posing or Katoki box art.I'll give you the other Unicorn though, I should think of something better for it. It was on a stand in a flying pose until I stole the stand for my Zeta which needed it more.
>>23580820I don't like that you can see straight through the shins.
>>23580426Unfortunately, Kotobukiya has not announced new Medarot kits. Just reprints.
>>23580924>>23580925It is actually a discount every other week. >t. Used to work at Hobby Lobby
>>23580222They'll complain and yet they'll eat it up regardless. The MG line hasn't been improving in releases for these past years and I'd blame it on the Japs for being complacent and just letting Bandai get away with it.
>>23580969I might actually buy the 10k yen chinese MG Harute at this point.I'm almost done with my backlog and I have no more wishlist.t. 1/100 purist

About to try weathering a kit for the first time, just want to do some minor "space dust" damage effects and generally mild wear. Just have a Tamiya weathering kit and some brushes. Anything I should know? Should I put the waterslides on before or after?
>>23581037based and Chinkgodkinopilled
I honestly wanna buy a shitpla kit but oh man 1000 yen really is asking too much for it, thought it would be cheaper.
>>23581047Mix of both maybe?Not all decals are constantly replaced, logos don't get after repainted after fight but some markings might be repainted more frequently leading to less wear.
>>23581055It's pretty much just playdoh with mr. potato head parts.
bros my plamo is never gonna leave Japan
>>23581037>literally samefagging
Someone tell Japan that we feel the same.
>>23581072Anon, don't you read these post, they hate foreign for eating their stocks

>>23580594Give them to me
How do I into paints? Am poorfag, no airbrush
Are there any sellers selling rubber treads that will work with the MG Guntank? Because fuck those plastic treads that fall off easily
>>23581097I've never had an issue with those treads. Did you paint them?
I need peepeepeepoo bandai I can't recolor green geara doga blue - its fanfic version I need bandai to charge 5x the price of normal kit. I need to complain day in day out how my <random shithole> doesn't have peepeepoopoo. Maybe if I whine long enough they'll open one for me so I can buy my brand new snip snaps
Ahhhhh yeessss the blue gundam hukbin it's so heckin epic
This thing's cooler than any of the other GQux Gundams.
>>23581110nice Gelgoog
how is the daban pgu rx-78-2
>>23581047I had fun chipping the decals on my last build with a toothpick. Otherwise, look at real world examples of the look you're going for. Also remember that it is easier to add weathering than it is to remove it.
>>23581110its the only design that I don't hate instantly
>>23580675Get that fucking preorders up already.
>>23581047those tamiya weathering kits come with their own applicator, but can also dry out and be uselesswaterslides should go on beforesome weathering techniques like pencils and pigments need top coat to not rub off easily
>>23581047Just put it in an enclosed space with firecrackers.
>>23581101No, but they've fallen off the GunTank a few times and some of them have their tiny pins that lock them together break off. I tried using cement to glue them together but I'm just tired of dealing with it
>>23581038no it was a canceled MG, showcased, not officially announced for released, quietly canceled3rd party made some though
>>23581209if Lego is so great, why dont they reprint Solar Snooper and Black Knight Castle set?
It looks better than previous RE100 releases. Hope there is no polycaps this time. https://x.com/tetchang/status/1979430739260399933
>>23581243Honestly it looks great detail-wise and I'm excited to paint him up.Man I just have no idea what to build right now. I can finish the RG Zeong, start an MG like Gelgoog or maybe make the HG Gquuuuuux for a friend, or maybe a chinesium HG origin RX in Char colors.
>>23581243>>23581244I should have bought two.
How did Bandai manage to turn Nu into the ugliest robot model of all time?
>>23581265Looks awesome.
>>23581265Nu was always ugly
>>23581265Pandering too hard to chinks and other gaijin who love excessive greebling

>>23581302Too bad you're still stuck with resin if you want it in a non meme scale (1/144)
>>235813101/144 is a meme scale. Too big. 1/220 is where it at. Don't call yourself a true collector if you can't shove your modelkit into your urethra

Do you want big FMP kit? Now is your chance.
China is releasing a version of the bootleg MGEX Unicorn with colored psychoframe parts. Red and green.No LEDs.
>>23581329based zhang
>>23581329should have included the original clear too so builders can paint their own psychoframe colour
>>23581332MGEX's psychoframe is not clear, they look like frozen cum in order to support full body LED by not making it too bright. The Chang will have to cast it in actual clear plastic.
>>23581329Is it an exact copy of the original MGEX or did they fuck with the design and proportions? The better proportions are pretty much the only reason I'd want to get the MGEX Unicorn
>>23581313>>23581323I kinda want some of Kaiyodo's 1/220 mortar headd kits for the novelty but they're way overpriced for what they are and the atrocious casting quality
>>23581343It is not casting quality, you can only go so far with such size.
>>23581344>It is not casting qualitykaiyodo makes forge world look good sometimes
>>23581302That is some really cool head, just needs abit of sharpening.
>>23581345You sure about that?
>>23581348Their modern artpla releases are great, I'm talking about their old resin kits. Those were infamously bad.
new ibo hg i guess
>>23581352that's the Premium Bandai IBO MG they teased yesterday. likely Barbatos 7th to coincide with Urdr Hunt Movie
China is getting better and better
>>23581353Uuhh is this just a recolor of the Ver Ka FAZZ? Can't you just paint the FAZZ in ZZ colors?
>>23581243I hope some angry Chang makes a MG out of this kit
>>23581357yes.and MG Astray Red Frame (New) is just another lazy rehash.Bandai is lazy shitthe only real new MG is Astray Mirage Frame but it's fucking pbandai.
>>23581354What if its Bael?
>>23581308>14cmHow much is this in american???
>>23581353Any release month for this yet?
>23581371March 2026
>>23581357not really. Full Armor ZZ has a different backpack and head compared to FAZZ

>>23581447How do you know?
>>23581435>Bandai told to the said retail to keep focused on domestic first with its own supply since it was during peak of Covid>The shop ignoring that and selling the supposed to be for Domestic market to the overseas market causing low supplies for nipsThats pretty much it, that being said these day its sprinkled with a bit of /pol/ moment for those japs.like the whole movement of "Nippon first" have been growing these day and affect to people reception toward any non japan focused stuff.Like the Switch 2 price difference announcement for example
>>23581434i mean that's fine?it's a hobby you don't have to paint if you don't want to
>>23581453NOOOOO YOU MUST PAINT!!!
>>23581450>>The shop ignoring that and selling the supposed to be for Domestic market to the overseas market causing low supplies for nipsAh yes, it is always someone else's fault and not Bandai themselves.
>>23580139HEY! DON'T INSULT MY MASHU! Especially if it means we get a transformable Black Barrel.
>>23581458First of all, it happed during covid, unko have yet to appear yet and not relevant in this storysecond this is your normal gunpla store
now it's nothing but gigapain to import gunpla from japani didn't import anything in like 5 years, it's easier and cheaper to buy from chinks (aliexpress)

>>23581462>unko have yet to appear yet and not relevant in this storyYou seem to be a Bandai cocksucker so i will make it clear. Bandai is a dogshit company and they deserve to eat real dogshit.
>>23581471Forget about nubs. Look at those hands lmao. Bandai has literall fetish for box hands and created Re100 solely for that.
>>23581473To be fair, this is not the first time it got wasted.
>>23581482That's a fair point, though I think I'm making a bigger deal of it now because of how much worse it has become.
>>23581489I think the problem is that Bandai hyped it up to be a huge release when in reality it has 0 new parts. They should have released it the same way as Stein Narrative, no buzz, no hype, just a small ver 1.5 with some improvements.
>he paints
>>23581376Version of what
>YOU FUCKERS BETTER BUY MY SHITPLA!
>>23581449I can hear your filipino accent through text. Nobody else says 'shits' or 'garbages' that is exclusively a filipino thing.
>>23581389Bandai already make their own hand replacement sets.
>>23581493i think the big problem that it took 8 years apart to get released. also there's no need to put a ver Ka moniker, just like the Crossbone X-1 ver Ka to a regular retail Crossbone X-1 kai Full Cloth

,>>23581510There are actually a bunch of differences between the Ver Ka and the Full Cloth outside the number of decals. Colors are different, the kit is a bit softer, and some details are removed. It's basically the opposite situation of most ver Kas that come after the normal kit.
>>23581510Ver Ka is abit complicated. MG production with his directorial involvement will be labeled as Ver Ka. This is why there are kits based on his design don't have ver Ka label, because he didn't supervise the production of those.
>>23581493>I think the problem is that Bandai hyped it up to be a huge releaseDid Bandai do this or did people in the community do this? I don't understand this mentality of "wasted slots". There's a release schedule in mind. It's not like another kit magically pops up in its place if they decided to scrap a ver.ka kit. You just wouldn't have a ver.ka kit for that year.
>>23581513The soft parts are for Full Cloth form. It supposed to look like that.
My fiance has never seen them as toys, but very much as art projects
>>23581513It comes with both sets of parts.
>>23581516>Did Bandai do this or did people in the community do this?Bandai commissioned a huge display booth dedicated to it, you fucking retard. This is their latest retail Ver Ka and also the protagonist Gundam. It is a big deal.
>>23581516>It's not like another kit magically pops up in its place if they decided to scrap a ver.ka kit. You just wouldn't have a ver.ka kit for that year.Ah yes, Bandai doesn't need to make money.
>>23581526Dude, you guys are delusional as fuck. You really dont get it do you? Bandai is going to make what they want to make. They dont give a fuck what some random neckbeard from Wisconsin or whatever rural shithole you spawned from wants them to make. It's the same thing with artists/filmmakers. If they wanna remake Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for the 12th time they're gonna do it and no amount of screeching or pissing yourself screaming is going to change that. Grow up.
>>23581530>Bandai is going to make what they want to make. And we are not allowed to shit on this multi billion dollar corporation because?
>>23581532I never fucking said youre not allowed to I'm just taking a second to explain the reality of the situation to you because some of you are stupid fucking Karens who think crying will accomplish anything. I honestly see you on the same level as those rainbow haired protesters you hate so much.
>>23579898 pretty much happy to call the actual build of this guy done, bar a bit more filling and sanding in some spots. feel like I've got a lot less visible "bio" than the other entries shared so far but the paintjob should help with that
>>23581535You do know that before the product got greenlit, the company will have to face numerous candidates, right? If Full Armor ZZ didn't make it, they would pick something else. This applies to every production, the executives have many choices before turning the suggestion into reality.
>>23581535>Bandai had no choice but to make the thing! If they didn't do it, they would shut the model line down! Actual brain damaged retard
>>23581546Yes, I'm fully aware of that. And how does your bitching and crying affect that process?
>>23581549That's nowhere close to what I said you dumbfuck. Imagine calling me stupid when you cant even understand what I'm saying. Fucking ESL piece of shit
>>23581550>And how does your bitching and crying affect that process?I hope Bandai see this bro
>>23581545Lmao what the fuck is with his leg? Is that a Captain leghook?c: pgayh
>>23581566it's meant to be like those running blade prosthetics
I hate that FA Gundam ZZ is white, i would like it to be the minty green fresh tint just like in the animethough I heard that MG Enhanced ZZ was actually minty green but taking a picture it looks white like the Hi-Nu where its purple but if you took a picture its blue
Built the Moon Gundam as my 4th kit last nightWas a pretty cool build with having a lot of inner frame compared to my previous builds (GFred, Calibarn, Lfrith Jiu), made me look forward to doing the RX-78-02 2.0 this week even more! Was my first time panel lining too, there's a few messy area's but planning on going back and cleaning it up. There's also a few nub marks on the inner knees and a big one on the blue ab section that annoy me but think it turned out alright for being my 4th overall
>>23581177Those applicators are garbage, but since those kits are basically make-up, I just bought a 5 pack of the lil sponge on sticks everyone's favorite youtuber uses to do his eye make-up with
>>23581571Top 3 HG kits for sure
>>23581524It's a tiny wall with a cardboard cutout. Other than announcing the kit and this display, they've not talked about it at all. I don't understand how this is hyping it up as a huge release. Some of you are so mentally weak. Why not focus on the shit you do like over endlessly bitching about shit 24/7.
>>23581348this is the guy who sprinkles pubes on my pieces when topcoat is drying
So Fat Cat are out
you ever buy a kit you plan for a custom idea but then you realize how fucking troublesome it is and lose motivation? goddamn, fuck this kit, this ugly overdesigned kit, it's gonna give me so much trouble when I somehow maybe get to painting it, I think I'll just paint it all black so it'll hide most of the inevitable flaws.
>>23579898Got the waterslides and currently applying them.After everything is placed, I just need to add some dirt/soot to some areas.
>>23581592What was the plan anon?
what way do you guys get rid of the ends of vfins being fat? idk the actual term sorrysingle bladed nipper? knife? sand? it all just seems really fragile and i dont wanna fuck it up
>>23581570you can paint it anon
>>23581607I bite it off.
>>23581607cut most of it with my normal nippers, then hobby knife, then sand with filei was scared too but it's more solid than you'd think
>the Ball set went up from $20 to $25 CAD>Zudah's in stock but who knows for how long>HGUC The O for $33>same for HGUC Zeta, because the $30 listing is out of stock>fatass Zock is back for $35I just want a new friend
>>23581615Those are all extremely cheap and basic as fuck, the hell are you complaining about?
How do you decide what kit in your backlog to tackle next?
>>23581622pick a few that tickle my fancy then put them into random.org list randomiser and do the top one it spits out
>>23581353It's a little annoying they don't have a single display without the big gun to show the anime form
>>23581591Christ, look at that decal sheet.
I like that the new Den'an Gei and old Den'an Zon don't look too awkward next to each otherThe old F91 sculpts weren't too bad overall
>>23581635more like den'an gay
>>23581641more like an'on gay
>>23581619But what if I want them to be even cheaper
>>23581651Hobby Lobby has them for free. You can just take them and walk out without paying. Nobody who works or shops there has the balls or the strength to stop you.
>>23581672What if there's no Hobby Lobby in my country?
>>23581672This isn't true, I tried this once and was immediately smote by God
>>23581688>Smote
>>23581692Yeah, that's the proper past tense of smite anon.
>>23581613interesting technique...>>23581614gotcha, ill give it a go later, thanks!
>>23581714It's nicer to sand the backs of v-fins by just laying the sandpaper/sponge/whatever down and rubbing the v-fin against it, since you can use a finger to put counter-pressure on the most fragile bit and not worry about too much for maybe snapping the tip or whatever.
>>23581713Is smite anon in the sky with us right now
>>23581688>smoteSo this is Plamor's strongest one. I see the lacquer has made its way in.
are there really two of you retards that don't know smote is the proper word
>>23581751Anon, I honestly didn't know about that. I'm cursed with being ESL. So I appreciate the detail. Shitposting for the giggles though>captcha NYGHA
>>23581751Do you think the average paintshitter reads the Bible or medieval literatureI got what you meant immediately thought. the third strongest snapchad
I would like one smote for my hot chocolate please.
>>23581635>The old F91 sculpts weren't too bad overallF91 plamo was higher quality than what came after
>>23581753>>23581754you should watch lord of the rings sometime
Got a HG F91 in my backlog, what kind of suffering should he go through to make for lore-accurate weathering
>>23581765
>>23581764>we got front-row seats that were an inch away from the screen, kept falling asleep as a kid because my neck hurt, was dragged along to the subsequent movies but had no investment or understanding>read the Hobbler later on and found it fun, but never watched any of the movies>like Narnia and Jesus but still haven't gotten around to reading or watching LotRtl;dr yeah I should>>23581765Toss him into a flower garden
>>23581772>The Hobblerthis legit made me smile anonthe hobbit movies suck, the LotR movies are really good, and the books for both are amazing. Definitely worth seein.
>>23581764I should watch the extended version of the movies again. Maybe after I move to my new place and I get a TV.
>>23581749So these are the people complaining about ESLs. . .
>>23581442Thank you anon these videos were very interesting and educational.
>>23581776That always gets a chuckle out of people, I'm glad. I do appreciate everything I've heard about both the movies and the books, including the extra bits like the Silmarillion or little details (usually christological) left out in the moviesBut ah, when will I pause watching robots to watch 12 hours of 1/144-scale bible people delivering jewellery
>>23581779No one uses smote nerd.
>>23581794[User was smitten for this post]
>>23581794Thou shalt not sputter such drivel
>>23581794it's really not uncommon
New thread>>23581826>>23581826>>23581826
>>23581805Isn't smitten more like an adjective rather than a past tense verb? Like I am smitten by thighs anon
>>23581585>focus on the shit you do likeI would love to, can you tell bandai to start releasing shit I like?>What's that gaijin? You want another re-release of a perfectly serviceable kit, seed, and ibo? Say no more!
>>23581844Then I guess he smote you
>>23581585>they've not talked about it at all. >I-It is a cardboard cutout!I love how Bandai cocksucker like you always perform this extreme mental gymnastic. They revealed its existence 2 months ago and even hyped it up by keeping the kit's physical appearance in secret. Its booth is the largest there, too. These display booths are not free. The main criticism here is that the kit just doesn't deserve it for a straight recolor. Bandai is not some sort of small family company, they are this world wide superpower with fuckyou amount of money thus making them eligible for criticism. Everyone have rights to shit on them when bad descision like this got made.
>>23581591Wrong scale, don't care
>>23581353The magnificent FA ZZ, not to be confused with the FAZZ
>>23581353>>23582350same shit just lazy recolor
>>23581607The term you're looking for is "safety nub" or "safety flag"I've had to spend way too much time working on damaged v-fins and the easiest way is to simply clip the top chunk of it off with good nippers then either knife or sand the restUse normal low grit sandpaper instead of a glass file or anything because you'll round the hard angles that most v-fins have and it's very noticeable
