Bought my first ever girlpla – well, 2 girlplas at once. For a long time I could never really get into girlpla, I’d rather just get figurines. But something about these two’s designs just really nailed it for me.
>>23669849Anyway, I’m starting off with the robot witch first. She’s giving me a bit of Sanaka from Blame! vibes and it’s part of the reason I was smitten the moment I saw her. The box is more elaborate than I expected. It's also bigger and has way more runners that I expected.
>>23669849Jiangshi sexo
If you flip the cover in >>23669850, you get pic related, a pretty cool background.
MG Nu box for comparison.
>>23669852neat, are you going to pose him in the box?
The designs are also pretty intricate and detailed, part separations even for all these small bits here and there. As said, this is my first girlpla so I have no frame of reference, wasn’t expecting just the head/ hair to come in so many different parts. Also, the eyeballs are their own parts too. You can swap the heads between robot face, human face and robot unleashing her killing aura. The heads and neck are connected via magnets instead of just ball joints/ pegs.
>>23669856I plan to, yeah. Seems like it was made with that in mind.
Anyway, check out this cute petite robutt.
currently kitbashing a bigger laser gun for my hafs gladiator, can anybody tell me if this looks any promising
>>23669862In addition to heads, you can also swap between robot radiator style chest or human boobies. I went with the radiator chest first, obviously.Look at her, she's so uggu kawaii.
>>23669868
>>23669871Looks way too big to me
>>23669871
>>23669871>>23669874it seems a little big but it's hard to tell until you get the finer details sorted out. keep us posted. >>23669862:)
Found Gundam Luminous Crystal Body for more or less good price in my country. But when you google it the first result is Reddit link saying that it's pretty badHas anyone bought it?
some progress. decided to go for some smaller parts
>>23669903If you like the kit just get it, there is few kits that are really Bad bad, I am sure you have the skills to make it right.
>>23669903a trve modeller can make any kit shine
>>23669903It's just the original MG Unicorn with extra bullshit. It's not the best kit ever but it's fine.
>>23669918possible variant with a shield
>>23669927looks slick, anonwhat model is it based on? something ma.k?
>>23669930yes MaK, its the 1/35 hafs gladiator kir
>>23669903it's not like you have any choice since every MG Unicorn MG uses the same mould. it would had been different if they released the MGEX as a 2.0 without the LED
>>23669871Honestly, it looks like it was made of chewing gum. There is a "melted" softness to it that doesn't look aggressive. This is a SF3D kit, you would be better to find a cheap tank kit, or aircraft kit, and just scratch build a big laser gun using the available parts.
>>23669918I prefer that one. Other one looked like a mailbox
