This is going to be like my second or third attempt at joining a groupbuild. Hopefully it's not going to peter out partway through thanks to decision paralysis and overthinking various engineering solutions to stupidly overcomplicated ideas. Just a bunch of painting, a little kitbashing, and pretty much zero scratchbuilding. Though attempts will likely be made for casting, because fuck using up those weapon kits only once.
I want to try Kotobukiya megaman kits, and I want to achieve this sort of lifeless LED effect for his eyes.Can I achieve this with just paints? IIRC there are paints that glow under UV, but maybe some clear resin might also create the layered look.
>>23684430You could gradient it with fluorescent blue and green.
>>23684365>>23684425Is 30 Minute Missions accepted for the Group Build?
>>23684369
>>23684430You should do a chrome silver base with clear green on top. Bonus points if it's UV relative so itll glow a little
>>23684446>>23684432I've seen some warhammer 40k guys use fluo so I'm definitely thinking about it. Maybe I could even pull off glowing circuitry and the like.
>>23684452it's good stuff. Just be really anal about cleaning your brushes or airbrush afterwards. It doesn't take much to contaminate other paints with the stuff. It'll be invisible until you hit it with a blacklight and see where it's been contaminated.

>swole everything>except the armswtf was were they thinking?
Built a Gelgoog Menace right before Christmas Eve, it was more irritating to put together that other kits and the rear skirt kept popping off. Like other Seed related HGs it was so back heavy you can't keep it standing up. Oi.
>>23684458>>23684460feel like the prototypes looked more buff>black backgroundpbandai?
>>23684467>The Dozle zabi zaku at home
>>23684479>pbandai?Pretty sure they're retail. I think 30MF just normally uses black backgrounds as a style choice.
>>23684458>>23684460Really kinda bland and boring from Ippei desu.
>>23684290>I've got 113 on display as of today, plus another 22 which were built but are in storage for future scavenging of parts to build customs.Post it.
>>23684467If you notice, the torso is actually a skinny one with 2 huge extensions.
>>23684467It's supposed to look like that
>>23684369Decided to use that V2 build as the sacrifice for testing the Kaleido Matt Varnish. These have been drying for about a half hour so far. 15ish PSI .3mm needle. Basically just blasted like I do GSI GX Clear.
>>23684580Close up on one section. The matte particles look really fine and it looks pretty even to me at first examination.
>>23684582Not the same colors, but here is it next to a GX113 clear covered kit.
>>23684580OOF
>>23684588You must have missed the previous thread where I played around with some Gundam markers as I was going for a quick snapbuild, but hated the molded gold touch to let it stay.
>>23684441Good looking builds, you should invest in a better camera though, your images are losing so much detail, which takes away from your efforts.
I already got my kits, its time to start again on my groupbuild that I won't finish. Thanks /gpg/
>>23684441Some photos are there twice because I just couldn't decide which ones to put in, and I was also trying to fill as much of the canvas lol.
>>23684657oops sorry this was meant for >>23684369
>>23684657Didn't you put some led lights on that X gundam?
>>23684661nope. the only kit in that image that has leds inside is the hy-gogg. both the GX's have blacklight reactive green plastic though which might make it look like it's glowing? everything else is just a trick of the lights
>>23684540yeah no shit, the design is being criticized for being lame.
I'm kind of new to the hobby but I've been a really big fan of the full mechanics kits since they're a bit bigger with bigger parts. I also recently got the HG psycho 2 which was really big.are the mega size kits worth it if I'm big into this sort of style? I also saw there was some chinese company making a 1/60 Z'gok. and the HG destroy gundam looks cool too.
does it really mater much what mr hobby top coat I git or is there a noticeable difference between the types they sell?
>>23684737Yeah if you want big parts and big model, mega size is what you want. Any PG is about the size of the Psyco Mark II but several times more intricate, by the way. You'd probably really like to look into 3D printed models as well, there are a lot of scaleable designs out there and many designed from the start to be 1/60th.
>>23684090linking again for anon since new thread https://www.youtube.com/shorts/iUlnYIk6Hlo
>>23684669I swear that I remember, someone was building that kit and modified it to have some led lights on the shield.
>>23684750I think that anon was working with the old 1/100th and not the HGAC but I don't know. I remember that WIP pic too though.
>>23684747thanks anon
When is /ourguy/ reviewing the PGU Nu
>>23684769Mega Size if you don't care about detailPG if you care about detail and don't mind paying the extra bucksIf you want something big and detailed but not as expensive as a PG get the Sazabi ver ka
>>23684779>Sazabi ver kathanks anon. I actually have the RG and really liked it so I'll have to try the mg ver ka.
>>23684780i don't know if sazabi ver ka is good thing if you are newlook at this fucking shit
>>23684790despite being new I've already built the PG perfect strike so I'm not sure if I'll have issues.
>>23684780People tend to prefer the RG to the MG but I liked the MG more. I do recommend building it regardless
>>23684631I think it's just because I resized it with some phone app. The bottom left gyan was taken by someone with an actual good camera and photography setup
Anyone order from seal model now that they're alive again?
>>23684369do a builder of the year poll once you get all of them
Need to ask before i fuck up, did anyone ever had problems with acrylics on abs or the grey inner frame plastic? What should i avoid using on those and what is the best to add small details
>>23684790The number of parts doesn't make a kit hard. It entirely depends on how the parts go together
>>23684369I only managed to finish 2 kits this entire year
>>23684851The best thing for any sort of small detail painting is generally enamels.
>>23684839I did and they replied pretty quickly, but they are not shipping by sea mail until end of May.
>>23684852No snap fit kits are hard.
Question, are LittleArmory weapon kits(?) compatible with gunplas, or do they need some modification to be compatible?Mostly interested on the size.
>>23684874Size wise they should fit most HGs. You might need to do small modifications for holding
>>23684851>>23684861Enamels or alcohol based paints if you want them dry within a day.>>23684866True, most glue ones aren't either.
Day two of gooch week. Yesterday I knocked over four kits. Yesterday I started off with a 1/60 electronic style injection molding machine which I picked up from Gundam Base Tokyo a while back. After that I built two Balls that needed an irresponsible amount of glue, moved on to a Draken E in Riah configuration, and finished the day with an HG Guntank because ending on a little guy felt correct.Vibes are high going into the second day, with an M9 Gernsback as the first box to be opened. If you're sitting there "planning" instead of building, this is your sign.Pick a kit, post progress, and suffer with me. Or keep hoarding boxes and cope. Your move.
I didn't take a picture but I have the Denan Gei next to my unfinished Geara Doga and my goodness what a manlet he is. Then you realize it would probably wipe the floor with the doga.
>>23684874Here's a size comparison between the Little Armoury FAMAS and the HGUC Alex's FAMAS re-bullpupped.
>>23684369I am once again including my non plamo lrojects too so I feel better about how much I finished this year.
>>23684962>the missing buttplate makes it into your collagebro...
>>23684963Eaten by puppyToo bothersome to recastIt's a dog turd now
>>23684962The mobile suit centipede made me smile. Really good stuff all around too.
Thought on this Dabankino?
>>23684976i don't think dogs should digest plastic
had some family over and my cousins 5 year old kid saw my room and said i have much cooler toys than he has and I realized ive turned into the weird adult relative that still collects toys, ive completed 0 kits this year, sorta tempted to grow up already.every adult that I know who collects these genuinely give of the stereotypical loser vibe. I want to be a normie
>>23685103no normie out there thinks about wanting to be a normie, they just areyou will forever be abnormal so get used to it
>>23685103If youre attractive and fit everyone will think your hobbies are cool no matter fucking lame they are. Have you considered being more attractive?
The Gundam Base Chicago is kind of a let down. They don't have some of the exclusives I wanted like the crystalized MG Unicorn or the gold God Gundam with the funny base. No 1/100 Unicorn hanger either. Even newer retail stuff like the MG Vidar and HG Psycho Gundam weren't there. No decals either. I'll go back when the Gcucks Hambrabi comes out and hope they get some other stuff like the cutting mats restocked then. I did like the paintable ESFS soldier kits though, I wonder if they are in scale with the puchi mobile suits like the Draken.
>>23685124>1/100 Unicorn hangerThat's a retail release though.
>>23685103Do you have a reliable job, sufficiently financially stable and generally not a sperg as in your coworkers don't complain to HR about you?As long as you like the hobby and it's not adversely impacting you, that's good enough.
>>23685103My girlfriend, family, and friends like the shit I paint. Even if they didn't, I'd do it anyway because it's fun.
>>23685056no HWS no bueno
>just tried pour-type panel liner for the first timeYOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS SOONER
>>23685103>not embracing the role of the cool uncle that teaches the kids weird shitNGMI
>>23684693how do you like the panhead?picked one up to get to at some point
>>23685103an adult wouldn't be asking this questions.
>>23685070dogs can have a little plastic as a treat
>>23685241with that reasoning then everyone here is still a child
He is complete. Tight fits but not destroy your hands tier fits. Some joints need sanding for posing not to be a pain in the ass, shoulders and ankles especially. The subarms too, they're tight in order to support the weight of the weapons but they might end up cracking if not sanded a little
>>23685279Posing is great. I used stedi panel liner instead of my usual ak fluo panel liner. It doesn't do a good job at filling but it doesn't get blown the fuck out by simply getting grazed by a fingertip days after drying
>>23685283
>>23685285Base could be better
>>23685286And a ching chong dab dong to you
>>23685274Where do you think we are?
>>23684425Godspeed anon
>>23684510Second this
>>23684369Behold, 5000x5000 collage because I'm rarded
>>23685373based crocodile enjoyer
fucking finally!!! just saw this, good smile is making a t 60 plamo. you would think we would have gotten some power armor models by this point already.
>>23684369I never did get either set of decals I ordered for the MG Vidar, and I won't be finished the Kshatriya before the end of the year, but I included the finished frame and stand.
>>23684760That was me, it's a nightlight in my daughter's room now.
>>23684807The kids are accessible to even children. Many retarded spoiled teenagers get PGs for xmas and snapfit some atrocities, complain online about fit when straight up nubs preventing fit, etc.Let's not delude ourselves about the difficulty. PG are often simplified specifically for the wallet warriors.
For all the shitposting gpg sure builds a lot
>>23685373What's on the bottom left and top right?
>>23685494Can it turn into a jet?
>>23685347>>23684510It's a bit hard to take photos of my display cabinets without completely doxxing myself. I'll see what I can do over the next few days though. If I have time I'll do some rearranging.
how come victory gundam gets shafted so much when it comes to model kits when the show is so kino? seeing all the f90/91 shit makes me wish they gave the other late uc story some love. i have the re100 shacko and it's certified bug kino.
>>23685548>how come victory gundam gets shafted so much when it comes to model kitsbecause the designs are fucking ugly, 99% of zanscare cocksuckers are in this thread, nobody else gives a fuck
3 out of 6 done
no hlj shipping discount this year? what a betrayal
>>23685491Bottom left is koto's aaliyah krasnaya and top right is no.57 sobek
>>23685491not him but bottom left is a kotobukiya armored core kit
>>23685578>>23685580damn so expensive. it's like double the price of other armored core kits.
>>23685554You haven't even painted it, there is nothing "done" about that shit. You're just doing the test fit.
why are paintfags so obnoxious?
>>23685644paintchads understand everyone wants different things for their kitslongsnapfags try to lord over others to compensate their lack of apple
>>23685614It was on sale at a lower price on amiami for a while after release. It comes with extra weapons
>>23685644When you spend dozens of hours slaving away over a kit, and days spent waiting for layers to dry and cure, you deserve to be a little obnoxious about it when talking to snapshit timmy and his 3 hour HG covered in nubmarks.
>>23685653Paint doesn't take that long and you know it.
>>23685653ackshually it takes me 20-30 hours to snap build a MG + full decals
>>23685655dry? 15 minutescure? overnight it needs to be cured if you want to mask
>>23685657not really. lacquers are good to be masked over within 30 minutes. probably even sooner.
>>23685658you're increasing the chance the layers will be ripped up, and then you have to fully strip and start again or else you'll leave texture
How difficult are early IMS FSS kits like the Bang compared to later ones or kits by Wave?
>>23685658>>23685696Yes Paintfags, fight amongst yourselves...
>>23685699>Snappyroo can't even reply to the right posts.
>>23685699Imagine being proud of being a snaptard holy shit
kotobukiya is taking the stance that they make kits for japanese paint gods and JOPs. if you're an EOP, mecha model kits are not for you
>>23685736That's unreasonably expensive for pic related.
My brother is visiting japan and I'm thinking about asking him to try and find me pic related.According to ebay japan this is like 5000yen ish. Is that a good price or should I expect more/less?
i might pick up some uncslop "actual" model kit like tamiya's, when they say you need glue you can use plastic cement right?
>>23685733they know they will only sell 5 of them outside of japan, if you are a AC fan you already bought the bandai steel haze
>>23685767I skipped the bandai steel haze because it looked like garbage and I knew koto was making one
>>23685785bro, making the model kit look good is part of the deal you accept when you buy plastic that's still on the runners. If you want something that doesn't look like "garbage" without any effort then buy a statue.
>>23685790>the kit is SUPPOSED to be bad!!lol ok
>>23685790>If you want something that doesn't look like "garbage" without any effort then buy a statueA model is a collaborative effort between the designers and sculptors who shape it, and you who assemble and paint it. Of course you're free to modify them however you please, but there is an expectation that the model should at least have the correct shape when assembled, or else the company producing it failed to fulfill their responsibility.
>>23685739>According to ebay japan this is like 5000yen ishMy man, that kit retails for like 700Y. Prices right now will be a bit higher as AFAIK it's not been reprinted for a couple of years, but if you go over even 1.5kY you're just straight up getting fleeced
>>23685767i bought both
>>23684369I'm working on MG Turn A rn but it won't be done until after the new year. I wanna try to aim for at least 1 kit done a month in 2026.
>>23685898Nice narrative. I just got one myself. Did it have any quirks I should know about?
>>23685899I feel like it took me way too long for pic related, the psychoframe part in the knees.
>>23685906Just a tight fit or something? I'm also going to be painting mine since I got the one with the clear psychoframe so It would be nice to know if any of the parts had issues with contact.
>>23685908>Just a tight fit or somethingNo, just a skill issue on my end. On the right half of that pic, I didn't pull that part down make it slide smoothly in place. It was something I had to be slow and careful with, but maybe you'll have a better time than me for it. The core fighter for it is really well engineered.
>>23685766No, that creates mustard gas.
>>23685766Yeah. Make sure you assemble everything before painting. There's next to no fitments on these things so everything needs assembled first.
>>23685436I want T-51
can i get a tad creative or is bro gonna ride me for not submitting a zaku with an axe and orange shoulder
>>23684369What are collages that we should be posting?
>>23685979You can submit it, but it probably won't catch a lot of votes
Is the mg the definitive kyrios kit or is there a good 1/144? Need to get one as a gift.
>>23686020The MG looks literally nothing like it does in the show but the HG isn't that great either
>>23686020The HG is very old, and thus has lots of problems that make it look like shit without a proper paint job (this applies to all HG kits in general, but moreso to the ones from before 2010 or so). The MG is the best you can buy right now, ignore >>23686023 's dogshit opinion.
>>23684369It's an ace custom kinda jeganThoughts?
>assembling bootleg zeus>kinda worried it wont fit anywhere nowwelp.
>>23686031Ah ok thank you anon. I think I’ve seen them at hobby lobby I’ll just try to go pick one up then.
i decided to fast ship my meng eva because i want it now
Just finished building the SNAA Percival, this kit is an absolute beast.The Japanese century of humiliation is coming, China is thriving.
>>23686105I want to buy a Chinkino to help fund the war effort against Bandai, but Zhang just hasn't made a design that spoke to me.
>>23686112Just buy bootlegs then. There are some nutty ones now, like the ones from Fat Cat.PS: The captcha showed me a star of david, the jews are hunting me after dropping such a massive truth nuke
>>23684911Day three of gooch week. Yesterday I built less than I wanted to, but two kits still counts as progress.Built an M9 Gernsback from Full Metal Panic and a Leo-R. The Gernsback was a bit fiddly but still a fun build. I am left with a hunger for more FMP kits. It's a shame the Arbalest is so hard to find. Both kits left me with an absurd number of spare parts. I'm now sitting on enough leftovers that I could probably assemble half a stock Leo just from the spares pile. I've decided to keep track of the spares by carefully placing them into my big box of unsorted parts and shaking it about a bit just to ensure I can never find them all again. Grab a kit, build something, and post it. Gooch week doesn’t care about your excuses. Also, I might set aside some time later to put together my collage of yearly builds for the compilation.
I really like this kit but the price is honestly the worst part about it. a HG has better build quality and less stickers than this
>>23686037nubs
>>23686037JEGAN A SHITJIEDA THE BEST
>>23685217i really liked it, pretty decent color separation so it doesn't need that much masking outside of the vents on the skirt armor and the sensors on the torso iirc. the panel lines are a bit shallow so it benefits from rescribing, and the fitment is relatively tight so it'll need some adjustment in places especially if you're going to paint it.
>>23686190It's not done obviously, it's just a quick mockup. I want to change the head a bit I think. I've got a handful of Jegans sitting around. I could make an ace squad at this point.>>23686197I never liked the Jedda that much but I might take the design of the chest vent slits, they look cool.
>>23685733
>>23686281looks nice out of the boxwill do some weathering to mine once it arrives and paint the wepons with gunmetal
>>23685056>Becomes a floppy mess after a couple of months.Pass
>>23685056never liked the MB tackle of the Hi Nu, but at elast it seems it will come with the big ass bazooka bandai sold separately, right?Daban just released the very last red frame with all the extra shit and add ons and I can already expect a floppy mess once you build ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDnR_Hg_1vM&t=1s
>>23686127are you calling it that just to fish for someone to ask why you're calling it that>>23686283Mine will be getting the full paintjob as usual but I plan to hit all the extra mechanical details (hydraulics, vents, rivets, etc) with some more metal color variation
>>23685550Do most people really think they’re ugly? They’re so cool to me.
>>23685805Cool, I want to get a good quantity of them for a low price so I can pay the overweight luggage fees.
>>23686283>Corners and edges so rounded it may as well be a balloon animal>Looks nice out of the box
>>23686346>are you calling it that just to fish for someone to ask why you're calling it thatNo, because anyone that isn't an uneducated fool knows what it means. If you didn't already, then it might be time to leave the basement and find something to eat other than tendies.
>>23686399Banshit's Steel Haze must've utterly destroyed your ability to grasp what it actually is supposed to look like.
>>23686399dumb poorfag
>>23686204good to know, I'm gonna mock mine up as an homage to the Starship Troopers OVA suitsthat separation does look quite nice
>>23686400happy that you finally got to say what you had prepped in your head
>>23686430I genuinely do not care what your take on this is. Seethe in your backlog while I judge you from atop my pile of completed snapshit.
>>23686401I'm betting he assumed it was the bandai one without actually looking closely or is possibly not aware of the koto kit existing
>>23685438jesus christread the lighting section in the guidehorrible photos(maybe decent builds, but the lighting does not flatter them)
I don't have a dedicated plaplate cutter. Will running my chisel on it's surface repeatedly work as a clean enough alternative? Don't need much plaplating on this kit so I didn't get those big cutters yet.
>>23686432i'm a paintgod and i exist above you
>>23686437There are less cringe ways to put cylindrical objects in your mouth. It's okay. We accept you here.
>>23686452not an argument
>>23686468Classic paint sipper behaviour. Looking for arguments on the internet instead of actually working on a build.
I like sipping on toluene
Redpill me on this motherfucker. Why does everyone say it's the worst color to paint, and what steps should be taken to avoid having a bad time with it? I'm probably going to print waterslides instead of actually masking and painting for my groupbuild project, but I would still like to know for future reference.
>>23686489I like doing Pink as a basecoat for Yellow.
>>23686489you need a really bright, or light color for it's base, otherwise it'd look like complete shit. ie avoid gray or black base.
>>23686489Pink makes yellow more warm, it's what I prefer to use as a basecoat. You can use white but it'll potentially look more green compared to pink, if you use gray or black it'll look even more green, desaturated, and shit. You can also apply the same approach to red's and orange's.

>>23686436Yes, you can cut out plaplate by scoring it with your chisel or xacto knife, deep enough that you can bend and break it apart at the cut. Though for more complex shapes, it might be tricky
do you think there will be any interesting gunpla announced for q1 or q2 2026? the release schedule seems kind of light.
>>23686604
>>23686620>this is an imageomegalul
>>23686620no flippin way
>>23686604>interesting>gunplapick one and only one
>>23686620Gquux version wouldn't include a beam rifle. All you get is a shield, two beam sabers and one effect.
>>23686624would there be an option weapons set released for 17.99 that give you the rest of the crap a rx might have?
>>23686628>17.99LmaoIt'll be like the Qubelay funnel effects. Few tiny pieces of plastic that cost as much as the kit itself + pbandai + tariff.
Meanwhile, chink is doing MG AoZ Gelgoog III kit
Bruh why do these niggas look the exact same
>>23686657Because Katoki is a hack
>>23686657Point out a single part that looks the same
>>23686661The shoulders
>>23686657Katoki is the worst thing to ever happen to mecha design
>>23686657Beside the whole design, everything looks the same.
i'm halfway done
>>23686705Where's the tiny gunner guy from?
>>23686708he came with the kit
MJH's HIRM Wing EW.Pretty good.
>>23686722lmao for a sec I thought that it was a kitbash.

>CHINK VIDARWE ARE SO BACK
>>23686846Looks like shit. I guess they got tired of endlessly remaking the Lupus Rex to squeeze this turd out.
>>23686848what is wrong with it? I'm not an expert.
>>23686856Color's off, the fitment looks bad, the plastic looks cheap, and surface details are visibly shallower.
>>23686858all fixable issues
>>23686858You actually can't make out any of that btw.
>>23686848>it looks like shit because it doesn't look like renderRetard.
>>23686863awful colors
>>23686856it looks like shit because it will be 3 times cheaper and you will be able to actually buy it
>>23686846>Censoring the faceThat's hilarious. Vidar is already a chinese design anyway.
>>23686856Ignore the Bandai shills, it looks perfectly fine, will probably include the waterslides too and cost half the price.
I hope Ace Custom bros are all using Jegans
Last build of the year, finished just in time.Painting the small thrusters on the back was misery, but other than that I'm satisfied with how it turned out.
>>23686846Aaaaaiiiiieeeeeeeeeee
>>23686887Does the GM quel have a solid clear piece for the visor? I'm curious if its like the GM command where you aren't given any visor internals.
Took me some time but made some small gallery of Ez-SR Peacekeeper. My second attempt at painting with airbrush, better than last time but still have a lot to learn with control. Still, camo lines went okay so I guess its not that bad. Too bad that I couldn't figure out any interesting poses.Worst thing was getting back to finishing touches after WEEK of being too sick to even move out of bed and having to remove all the dust that accumulated back then. And still got a lot of it during varnishing. Bummer.As usual, full gallery here: https://sabi-sif.mb4.pl/gunpla-hg/hg-ez-sr-peacekeeper/
And that would be all for him, I guess.
Also, collage(s).>>23684369"Only" 4 big models this year but I painted a lot of minis and some 3D prints so I would say that 2025 was actually quite busy for me.
>>23686910What kit is the one on the upper right from?
>>23686911My GroupBuild entry for arty, made out of some spare/optional 30MM parts and polysterene.>>23684369>>23686910Mentioned 3D prints and my first tank...
>>23684369>>23686913...and minis.
>>23686904>Does the GM quel have a solid clear piece for the visor?It does, but it was in clear orange. I needed green so I had to paint over it.
>>23686916You can recast it in clear resin.
>>23686930Why would I do that
>>23686944Why indeed
Is this good?
>>23686977This posing is clearly a bait so I'll ask instead why the fuck do you keep a bunch of boxes with empty runners
>>23686977snapgod/10
>>23686977It feels like the shelf is less for the gunpla and more for the boxes.
>>23686979What should I do to the box then? I kept it incase if I'm going to move and place the kit on it.
>>23686995Gallon ziplock bags are great for gunpla if you need to move with them.
What big Zaku is better, pg or mega size?
Chink Pharact when? I'm not buying a whole ass original kit just for the binder connectors.
>>23687017would be about time, we already got aerials, michaelis and darilbalde
>>23684369I painted a monoeye for an SD Sazabi (I'm painting it green, so I've changed the color of the eye). Not bad for 40 or so minutes of work.
MGSD got me wanting more SD kits, but does bandai literally not reprint SDCS? the earlier kits don't seem to exist anymore.
>>23684369What's that collage thing about? Making a collage with this year's builds? If so, what are the conditions to participe?
>>23687071You just put photos of your build into a collage and post it. Then it gets archived.
>>23687071Just post a collage of what you've built this year and New Thread Guy will add them all to a giant collage to celebrate the year.
>>23687072>>23687077I see, I'll make a quick one tomorrow then, hopefully it's not too late.
ive completed 0 kits this year, the spark is going away
>>23686657Thats the GODtoki signature.
>>23687084>No longer have any shelf space.>Lose motivation but still keep buying kits.How do I break out of this cycle?
>>23687104Store extra kits from the shelf in a box. Built kits don't occupy much space stored that way. You can swap them from time to time.
Realized recently that I can just let kits sit out for a long time and collect dust and then the dust fills the panel lines instead of doing it myselfI call it the century snap
Why is every paint thinning tutorial on youtube such dogshit. Nobody explains the actual physical process of how you're supposed to be mixing the water in they just explain why to thin like everyone doesn't already know thick paint is ugly
>>23687114>mixing the water in>waterI found your first problem.
ZakuAurelius
>>23687114You just mix the paint and the thinner together. It doesn't require a tutorial.
Mecha Gaikotsu
>>23687084>>23687104donate some of your kits.this is my 2023 donation to the orphanage, put in the storage box and went to the local orphanage..and of course i built them back together when i donated them.might do your soul some good, specially this christmas/new year season
Ace custom wont get more than 5 entries
>>23687124there's a man hanging around my local orphanage teaching the kids to stomp gunpla
>>23687124what the fuck did you do to that mk5
Finished the painting and did a bit of assembly before noticing that the white (did last) was taking on faint fingerprints so it wasn't dry yet.The blue/green color came out greener than I aimed for and also is the only color that orange peeled. I'm assuming I just had it a bit too thick, as I can't remember if I added more thinner after adding more blue to fix it. Don't think he is going to make it for the collage, which is sad since going from restarting the hobby as a snapshitter earlier this year, to usually panel lining, decaling, and clear coating was a nice journey. Only full painted 2 kits before this MG.
>>23687136you going to strip and redo the blue right?
>>23687131this is why people have become shallow, depressed, empty, vile creatures>>23687132it has been gathering dust since i built it, so i donated it
>>23687125a custom machine made into a grunt theme would be good
>>23687149I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU. I WON'T CONSIDER WHAT YOU POSTED
>finished bootleg zeus and destiny>holy fucking shit its large>2 bases with the kit>my shelf is tiny>posing tf outta it>some parts need work and loosening>likely next weekend ill do itas a seedfag im largely happy with itit really feels like something to compete with the meteor MA
>>23687142No I'm a "leave mistakes as reminders" type person. I don't really mind the color that much anyway.
>>23687124>2023 donation>that much dust on a mk Vit would do your soul some good to clean the fuck up once in a while
Can I submit collage if I only made 1 build in all of 2025 lol
What airbrushes would you guys recommend for fine details? Is an Iwata Custom Micron the best option right now?
I have feelings for Katoki
Bros do the wing RGs feel small or are they fine? I am trying to decide between getting mg or rg wing gundams and I kind of like the rg better but I don’t know how small they will be.
>>23687219Wing and G MS are literal midgets. Not Victory small, but they're the only ones in the size category between OYW and Late UC. That makes their RG kits smaller than anything besides Crossbone (which also cheats due to the engineering challenges involved). To my knowledge the Wing RG kits don't make any compromises (though some of the proportions do get exaggerated for stylistic purposes), so they aren't that bad to build.
How are Koto kits compared to Bandai HG/RG kits?
>>23687219I thought that the RG Epyon was fine. Transformation works, nothing feels like it would snap if you touched in wrong. It's taller than it's supposed to be though.
>>23687219I have the Epyon and Wing tv. Epyon is fine. Wing looks like a midget, but is fine on an action base
>>23687124>2023>Box full of broken stuffI would rather not spread my depression to kids.
>>23687251Kek
>>23687251not broken, i separated them for easier storage. MkV and the Rick Dias are too big and taking too much space if I dont break it down to parts
When was the last time the MG Zaku I and the HG Xeku Eins been printed? Currently both are my holy grails and I've been dying to get my hands on them.
>>23687339MG Zaku 1 has been reprinted a few years ago, but only for Japan, just like the MG Super Gundam
fellas i need some pointers. i painted a z'gok on christmas and my paint was just chipping all over the place and not even topcoat saved it. how do I make the paint more durable? im using dspiae's paint that they made for their wash free air brush, same top coat and primer too. did I mess up my primer? it felt oddly smooth and not gritty as it did when I was painting my armored core stuff with the same primer which did not chip, though the actual plastic is resin. what can I do?
>>23687363I believe thats water based paints right? I believe you have to cure them longer than usual or they will not stick
>>23687124just want to let you guys know that most Christian based charities will immediately throw out any toy donations that have any violent nature tied to them, even something as simple as a 8+ lego star wars set will be thrown out because there is a sci fi blaster
>>23687366i see. so the issue is my impatience
>>23687376join team lacquer and you can lay down the next coat after only 20 minutes
>>23687374 no need to worry, when I went back to them again, some of the Gundams were missing for sure, but its due to the kids breaking them....the Tapioca girl and the Taimanin Asagi action figures I donated were still there, though dirtier
>>23687381>the Tapioca girl and the Taimanin Asagi action figures I donated were still there, though dirtierhow the fuck? they allowed that?>>23687069I would buy MGSD if it's not as expensive as MG
>>23687219Wing is abit skinnier compares to your average UC robot, so yes, the kits do feel small. They are hypothetically 18m tall est based on the model's height instead of the in-universe 16m tall, but the bodily volume is quite lacking.
>>23687125>Ace custom wont get more than 5 entriesDo you guys just not have anyone posting?Ace Custom is one of the broader categories, and even I could manage entering as long as I know what is and isn't acceptable.
>>23687426I really do hate this thin waist with massive skirts look, it just makes the two halves of the MS look like they're different scalesThe RG Nu and Hi Nu are awful about this too
>>23687152gruntify was a contender for a bunch of voting blocks for a while but I don't think it ever won
You YNs need to build something other than Bandai kits
>>23687466croski-kun, I aint got no time for that shiz
>>23687466I've built some chinese kit. Their OCs, not the bandai bootlegs. I aim to one day build a five star stories kit as well.
>>23687479Two-two is my word senpai if you only snap Gundams you are a total Gerber
>>23687493>I aim to one day build a five star stories kit as well.Most of them aren't hard, no need to "aim" just do it
Hear me out. RG PERFECT ZEONG.
>>23687451One of the Katoki trait i wish Bandai would start copying is the fat belly.
Does premixing lacquer paint really ruin it or is it just reddit hysterism?
>>23687584the latter
>>23687587Thank you
>>23687562It's possible considering all they have to do is adding legs and putting it in P-Bandai
>>23684911Day four of gooch week. Day three ended up being a decent haul, but I feel like I could have done more. Built an HG G-Saviour, Entry Grade Wing, and Nobel Gundam. The Nobel genuinely impressed me. It’s the first time I’ve seen stickers that actually blended in and didn’t look immediately obvious.The G-Saviour was a fun build but pretty rickety, and it definitely shows its age. Still, I liked it enough that I’m keeping an eye out for more, since I want to build an I-Saviour at some point.The Entry Grade Wing was quick and surprisingly detailed for what it is. Very straightforward, very satisfying.Even the most cringe of paint sippers could be building their backlog this week. Take a break from fondling your mixing balls, acrylicucks. Your pile of shame throbs with the need for attention.
>>23687623>EG WingNot a wing fan, but I'm curious on why this kit is popular. Is the HG one inferior?
>>23687642It's surprisingly good quality for an EG. I would say it's better than a lot of HG's. I think people like it because it's cheap, good quality, looks nice, and Wing has been getting glazed hard lately due to the anniversary.
>>23687642>I'm curious on why this kit is popular.It's new, it's easy on the wallet, and you can even find it at places like >Hot Topic or Le Targét.No, seriously, you can find this kit nearly everywhere.
>>23687642>Is the HG one inferior?https://schizophonic9.com/re9/eg_winggundam.htmlthe EG color separation is slightly better in some places but it doesn't come with a freaking beam saber
>>23684369Maybe a Full Armour-Jegan-Spartan kinda ace custom?
>>23687659unlike nu and its fin funnels at least having a spare beam sabre isn't too crazy (and making your own is trivial) but it's a bizarre thing to not include
is there a bootleg of FA Gundam Thunderbolt?
>>23687677The problem with the spartan is that its too perfect. At best you'd just cannibalize the space verniers from the pale rider space type and call it a day.
>>23687695yes, both MG Gundam FA and the Psyco Zaku
>>23687712nice. I'll buy it in 3 days.
>>23687705Eh it's okay, definitely does what it sets out to pretty well but I'd change some stuff about it if I had one. Definitely could make the gun cooler. Just only so much I can stick on the left shoulder to distribute the weight a little more from the other side.
>>23684369Here's my collage, it's not everything I built, just what I think it's the most notable stuff.
>>23687685Probably because the beam saber (singular) was stored in the shield, which had a fancy deployment gimmick to access the saber's hilt. And for a budget model kit meant for absolute beginners, giving the shield that kind of gimmick just wasn't in the cards.
I've built two perfect grades and while I enjoyed them honestly they just felt like bigger master grades, what's a PG that actually feels unique/different? I was thinking of the PGU but man it's kind of expensive for such a barebones kit
>>23687740There isn't any kit that feels different. At the end of the day, you're still doing the same thing just in a bigger or smaller scale. Also what do you mean the PGU is barebones? Do you mean additional accessories?
>>23687466I do
>>23687740big plastic parts are expensive, please understand
>>23687745Yeah, lack of accesories and no stand. I don't understand why it's more expensive than Unicorn/Exia
>>23687781To answer why it's more expensive, over 10000 times folded R&D for those opening panels and glue on metal gimmicks.
>>23687781DensityUnicorn and Exia have very barebones functional frames and many large simple parts while PGU RX-78-2 has many more moving parts and a 3 layer inner frame
>>23684369I learned a lot this year. I'm especially grateful for the groupbuilds, as I wouldn't have started taking on bigger painting projects without them.
>>23687784>>23687798Nice, so it will actually feel more different than a bigger master grade. Guess this will be my next purchase
>>23687866Old PGs are fairly interesting build experiencesEverything between Strike and Exia is just a big MGAnd PGU is for chinese markets
>>23687866Well, have fun :)
>>23687784Lmao, shit so greebled it looks like AI hallucinated it
>>23687886>PGU is for chineseWhat does this mean
>>23687931BUILT FOR CHANG.
>>23687931He means that the chinese like to add an extreme amount of unnecessary gimmicks and details for no reason.
>>23687866>>23687886technically, MGEX Strike Freedom is similar to the PGU that it has multiple layered inner frame
>>23687729I like top middle one
>>23687729>GirlplaHello based
Flat.
>>23688013cute
>>23687157did you coated it? i just noticed a matte coat might change its tone a lil
>>23688016Very cute. Funny how they made her shirt detachable. But armor severely limits arm movement so it's better to be left off. Sadly.
The heavy armed Geara Doga looks nice. Now if only the gun came with an updated Geara Doga, instead of the pretty mediocre HG.
>>23688027Just a light gloss to help with decals/panel lining. It will get matt eventually.Pretty sure it's just too much of the yellow green paint added to the mix, and the texture from not thinning enough.
I too have been working on some girlpla.
Is there such a thing as boyplaI don't like girls
>new MG astrayAre they fucking kidding me?
>>23688091That was announced a while back, wasn't it?
>>23688091never really understood why its so popular. is it just because it has a katana?
>>23688090There's this dude but his face feels weird.
>>23684369every single one these collages got mogged
I hope chud (the putty guy) posts his end of year collage as well
>>23688076Good taste, I got Arcanadea recently as well, in my yearly haul from certain EU shop virtual warehouse.>>23688090In theory, 30MF line are all fantasy boys - knights, warriors, assassins, priests, etc. Quite big compared to other lines (definitely bigger than 30MM).
>>23688098Why my man blud dressed like a chick?
>>23687994I hope to build more, I have a half painted arcanadea elena kit, with some luck it will be on the next year's collage.>>23687988It started as a scribing practise with an EG and ended as a masking practise
>>23688093Can't tell you, I don't like seed. Though this design I'm a bit interested in. I have a feeling I will dislike it once they show off the colored version.
Oh neat, the Daban MB Hi-Nu comes with the funnels and shield pre colored so you don't have to fuck around with huge color correcting waterslides like with the Ver Ka.Shame it comes with the Mega Chink Bazooka so it inflates the price like crazy.
Also interesting that it comes with UNT Spacy decals instead of EFSF.
>>23688152>>23688154They know their customers can't paint and don't care about gundam
>>23688156Bandai has mountains of Shitpla left for you to buy Takeshi
>>23688158If they prepainted the plastic parts for you would you like the doodoo fecespls more?
>>23688166heaven above it's always you
>>23688101I already did
>>23688174Maybe others are also quoting Michaelhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M11Q70FbzTM
>>23688098She's pretty good, but I'm better.
>>23687136More progress. Overall, did an ok job on the painting, but I have found some white pieces that have it being uneven. I should have done two full coats for the white pieces, I assumed I didn't since it was white on white. Something to improve on next time.
>>23688207What kind of paint did you use for the blue?
>>23688208C80 + C64 + C1. C80 was a sub since I couldn't find C65 anywhere and it looked close. I went too much C64 though. Re looking at the ratio in the manual, I think I did 60/30/10 instead of 60/10/30.
>>23688212When you start subbing out paint you're gonna need to just change the ratios. A lot of them look the same but the way they play with other paints is way different.A bit of retarder would have helped too. It's magic for a level paintjob.
>>23688207Bro, your blue and red came out awful. The hell did you do?
>>23688215Yeah I figured. I did go and reduce the white since the C80 was brighter than the C64 already, but I used way too much green. Still, I don't hate the color which is why I went ahead with spraying it.Also for the retader, I was using MLT, but iirc the blue was the last color for the batch. It then got moved closer to the heater to be closer to 70F to dry, but that might have accelerated it from the airflow. Painting in winter kinda sucks.>>23688216What do you mean red wise? The crotch gem just has a fingerprint on it from being glossy.
>>23688093because it's the coolest shit ever (when you are 16)
>>23688096>raiden at home
>>23688219Oh I understand you pain. My area has 50 mph winds and it's like 10 degrees out so it's like 45 degrees inside now. Paint is taking forever to dry.
>>23688226I did discover that Kaleido clear coat says on the box goo to spray down to 5C, but I haven't given that a try at that temperature yet. The test coating of the V2 was in the mid-60s F, and it turned out well.
>>23688207its still an interesting color scheme, i actually like the idea of doing a custom color, the blotched red on the hip is terrible thoit feels like you could have done some more detailing. i see a seamline on the arm, it would have looked better had you either covered it or turned it into a set of detailshow long did it took you to do this
>>23687136For what it's worth, that dark turquoise shade is very nice
>>23688221The coolest shit ever when I was 16 was seed. The coolest shit ever when I was in middle school was wing.
>>23688237I'm assuming by blotched hip thing you mean the center bit. Like I said in another post it's part finger print and lighting. It should look better after some wiping + matt coating that I'm going to do after the decals.The arm doesn't have a seam line actually outside of the articulation for rotation, I'm not used to cleaning mold lines unless they are super obvious, and didn't realize the paint made them stand out so much more. Will do more prep next time.I clipped / removed nubs for the parts in 2 ~2 hr sections over a couple days. The painting was done in two ~3hr batches over 2 days also. I'm pretty slow at swapping colors, so it was everything colored one day, and white the second.Also for a painting question that I just remembered. I had to use spray cans for some of the primer as I can't find non-black mr Surfacer in stock. I had issues where there would be "bubbles" in the primer layer after drying and where I noticed them I had to sand them smooth (the feet are purposely out of focus as they were pretty bad about it). Any idea the particular cause of this? I haven't had this issue with my airbrushed black primer at all (so I don't think it is dust), and I went with quick moving sprays with the cans.
>>23688207I hate pegless hands. This rifle is flopping all over the place. Also kinda sad how much detail the white part covered up. I did a trick I saw on a Warhammer channel where I lightly sanded the grey paint, to make the high areas all be of the lighter gray primer. Essentially doing a reverse panel line. But now you can only see a bit of it in the handles.
>>23688254Ok, I post that then when playing with it slightly more it perfectly locks into place. Also found that the F runner had two crotch jewel pieces for some reason, and the second had a much better finish so I swapped it out.
>>23688207>>23688212not even that, the overall finish of the blue and red parts looks terrible, maybe it is due to the photo but the red part in the waist looks like a massive blotch of paint collected therespeaking of F91 I'm looking for the old MG blue harrison onw but shit is out of stock everywhere
>>23688260You could just paint it those colors.
>>23688254I'm not sure if it's a really bad thick prime job or if your paint wasn't thin enough or what but the chest here is unrecoverably bad
>>23688264Pretty sure it was thick paint. I added extra blue to try and fix the color, and I'm 90% sure I didn't add extra thinner when I did so.>>23688260Might have been the issue (it *is* redder in the middle than the edges), but luckily found a random duplicate part when cleaning up the empty part containers. This one's more inherently matt& smooth.
>>23688271if you're using lacquer the absolute bare minimum is 1:1 paint:thinner. Thinning further is possible. Mileage varies by brand and how many thin layers you can be assed to deal with as thinner paint means less coverage.
>>23688254And last progress post for tonight. Probably not getting all the decals and clear coat done tomorrow, so he will have to miss out on being on my collage.The included base is pretty solid, but it can't adjust which is annoying. Also it looks pretty easy to add the LEDs at the end, so might keep an eye out for them.I title this:>5'7" chad aura farms while executing 5'5" manlet

>>23688285I'd love more F91 and crossbone kits
I thought the whole point of autistic airbrush setups was that it's foolproof and you didn't have to learn technique
>>23688065>pretty mediocre HGwtf are you talking about? all the CCA HGs hold up very well and don't you dare whine about seam lines because any good modeler should know how to fix them
>>23688317he's upset it's not a modern kit with dogshit hands and a balljoint waste I guess
>>23688316Compare it to my brush skills. It is much easier, I'm just bad.
>>23688303>Guntank and GuncannonBuh?
>>23688376The japanese children yearn for the cannons
Why does the V2 Gundam get more reprints than the V Gundam?
>>23684369Was a fun year. Got back into the hobby after almost a decade off, and went from a snapper who trimmed nubs only with a hobby knife, to someone who actually cleans them via sanding, applies decals, and clear coats. Even managed to get in 2 painted kits (as the F91 isn't going to make it).The FM Aerial turned out very dark due to me using gray primer and then basically ruined by me trying to matte coat it when it was far too humid out. The HG Wing Zero was a fun experiment with metalics and actually trying some masking (that was done badly). Slowly getting better though.Goal for next year is to do a Crossbone 2nd Shrike Team colored Victory if that restock list is accurate about the MG.
>>23688423Because more people like V2
Jieda progressit is a VERY big HG kit with big chunky and blocky parts so it is very easy and simple to assemblewill be gone for a few days so it will be a while before I can continue to work on it (decals and slight weathering)
>>23688429Why
>>23688423MG Victory/V-Dash are really fragile kits, even compared to the V2. The original run one I have has its arm armor fall off at the slightest movement. That's why I plan on buying 2 in the next restock.
>>23688303What a shit year this has been.
>>23688434How do you cope with having a v and v2 gundam and knowing that they’re supposed to be the same size? Genuine question. I love both of these gundams and want them on my uc mg gundams display but this bothers me so much. It’s not right.
>>23688433why wouldn't it beit's the pinnacle machine of UC, it is the V gundam but with a cool V on its chest and beam wings, and it is just in general a more standout design than the V. I love the V don't get me wrong, but V2 undeniably stands out more as a design. And V2AB is still one of the best put together "FA" or upgrade packages of any design honestly.
>>23688455Get the master grades
>>23688455I just live with it. It's a plastic toy, it doesn't need to be perfect. Until some Chinese bootlegging company manages to shrink the V2 down to its "correct" size, I will continue to not care.>>23688458Those are the Master Grades.
>>23688455>>23688458Those are the MGs I'm pretty sure. I cope by just having the V2 flying over the V in my display so you can't notice as easily. Also the extra half inch does make the V2 more solid and slightly more posable.After building the HG V2AB I now want a non transforming MG version of each though.
>>23688455gotta be honest I barely see the difference here, looks like a cm at most
>>23688432>Those space marine toysNgl they look cool. Can they be taken apart easily enough so you can repaint them?
>>23688294It is very fun to build
>>23688093Melee weapons on a mech will always be cooler than ranged weapons.
>>23688479I guess? never really bothered to take one of them apart but the joints of the limbs seem easy enough to take apart
>>23688455It's acceptable, I mean at least it's not like the Chang Jedah that is an entire head taller than it was supposed to be
She's completed. I already adore her.Any thoughts on the colors? I tried to hide as many gundam colors as possible on her. The hair is just zeta blue.
Hey buddy
Just finished this bad boy, what do you guys think about black panel line on the light and dark green?
>>23688455Scalefags should be brought back to the cellar and shot to the head.
I can't decide bros. PG strike freedom or PG exia?I've built the PG perfect strike so far but that's my only PG kit
The real grade sazabi is the most overrated piece of shit ive ever built>>23688649Exia
>>23688652the mg ver ka moggs it.
>>23688656Yeah, and more importantly the ver ka doesn't have pieces flying off when you try to pose it. Despite being bigger and heavier it also seems to have better balance on an action base, I can't stop the rg from leaning to the right for some reason. Can't believe I was tricked into building this shit when I already had the master grade
>>23688649Exia. the PG Strike Freedom is Katokified. it is ugly skinny design
can you actually not use the spn-120 on the sprue
>>23688665>the PG Strike Freedom is Katokifiedwhy does everybody say this like it's a bad thing?
>>23688665Honestly my problem with the PG SF is that it just looks like a really big high grade. The mgex moggs it in every way at half the price
>>23688669there are some things that Katoki isn't good at, Strike Freedom is one, and Exia is the other. I ean just look at his Exia ver Ka
>>23688687it looks kino
can you put the mg v gundam in gerwalk mode like in the show?
>>23688679>>23688665I hadn't really noticed before but the lack of detail on some of those sections is borderline criminal for a PG, comparing it to the strike PG is night and day
>>23688714i think it's meant for you to put the work in yourself.
>>23688708Yes.
>>23688608Anyone?
>>23688608Black would be fine yes
>>23688608For ground types I like brown, gives that rust+dirt look
>costs around 50 bucksShit with the amount of stuff you get this is cheap.
>>23688900Do you guys remember when hgs were like 14 bucks and 20 bucks was considered an expensive high grade? It seems like we just skipped the upper 20, 30, and 40 dollar price range and just skipped straight to 50 dollar high grades. Fucking insane, shit is like $2 worth of plastic I know bandai is making fat stacks off these
>>23688905Yeah shut the fuck up boomer this is all your fault and you know it.
>>23688900Pretty sure it's going to cost at least $60-65 because of tariffs. Even the Sandrock Custom and Heavyarms Custom didn't cost any less than $50 apiece and their extra add-ons weren't nearly as fancy.>>23688905Sir, that's an MG.
>>23688900Couldn't even give the little gay kid two uzis. At best he'll shoot his missiles, put the grunts in a stun animation before another character harvests the kills.
>>23688944stun animations only exist in video games. one missile is enough to kill if the writer and/or director says so
>>23688962Explosions don't leave a corpse which means character will miraculously survive and show up in later episodes.
>>23684369Good year for plamo for me. This was the year I graduated from acrylic to lacquers and also the year I started participating in group builds.
