Post your 2026 Backlog
>>23692143Trying out that candy coat thingy.God damn the Nightingale is yuuuge. I mean, I've long known it's a big kit but actually getting a hold of the box and building it is another thing. Between this one and Sazabi, Char seems to be compensating for something.
for what purpose
>>23692171for show
>>23692171Kino.
>>23692171I fear not the gunpla builder who have built a hundred kits once, but the builder who have built a kit a hundred times
>>23692171Speed run practice
>>236921892026 is definitely speedpla's year
>>23692140Happy new year bros
>>23692171Is it EG?
>>23692166smalltime.
I have not built a single kit I brought last year.Zero kits.Not even test fitted.I haven't even open the box that some of them came in.One time I would just open an amazon box with no idea what's inside and be surprised its gunpla.I just keep doom scrolling my online stores and keep going "this would look great in *insert important moment in the shows* let me buy a couple of kits"And the kits just keep piling up.I lie to myself and say "It doesn't matter if I brought 5 zaku ii, I can just production line and build them all at the same time in just one sitting"But it scares me.Feels me with dread.I try not to touch my cellphone anymore, but my thumb just goes straight for the online stores even if I just want to jack off or watch youtube in the shitter.
>>23692211
>>23692211>"damn anon bought 5 kits in a single order. must've had takeout curry again"
>>23692214I buy from the same stores too, yeah. I actually don't like the idea of ever meeting these people irl. This must be how fat people feel when they go to the same pizzeria and get 2 pizzas + wings and pretend they're for sharing while the staff give them odd looks.
>>23692166won't get to all of them but priority kits for this year are:>IJA shiranui>titans zeta (part of diorama idea)>fazz>meng eva>at least 1 of the eva RGs>re-gz 2.0>hyaku shiki>nu ver ka >rick dias>super hornet>koto steel haze

>>23692231Don't do that, give me hope. That's probably the one I want the most.
>FAT>CATImagine owning something so gay.
So we're all in agreement that this thing is going to be hot trash, right?Not only are they probably going to charge an arm and a leg for the thing, but it's also not even going to look anything remotely like the original design, meaning you can't even pose it alongside your HG Dendrobium. And they're probably even going to give it the complimentary Cancer Coating just like they did their "Nightingale." Are people actually going to buy this thing just to spite Bandai? This thing never even struck me as popular to begin with, it gets a few minutes of screentime and then dies like a bitch, it would be like if people were demanding a kit for the Vagan Gear from AGE or some shit.
>>23692253Looks like an overly greebled mess like most chinkslop
>>23692171It's Nu years
>>23692230>>23692231I want the Zeong because the RG is fucking rare. the marketplace listing is 2x MSRP + have to buy the 3rd party water decal.
>>23692260>the RG is fucking rareIn what country? I literally saw the damn thing in a brick and mortar store less than two weeks ago.
>>23692230>FM 1/100 Aerial RebuildNot super likely, the Full Mechanics line is super dead, I would bet on an MG Aerial Rebuild happening within a decade before a FM ever happening.>RG Hyaku ShikiAlso not super likely, at least with the gold coating. Akatsuki is already losing Bandai a good chunk of money. Maybe we'll see a HG-esque yellow plastic release with full undergates, and a gold coating as a P-Bandai release.>HG GQuuuuuuX SazabiThat thing only appeared in a single still, it's highly unlikely.>MG Delta GundamA man of fucking taste.
>>23691453Deported from Poland to Poland?
>>23692262wow not everyone lives in the same country as yours. shocking! dumb amerimutt.
>>23692253At $400-500 +tariff, I doubt most people would be able to get it regardless of whether they like it or not.
I've decided. This will be the year I start painting.Everything's been ordered, hopefully it won't be as expensive going forward now that the initial costs are out of the way.
>>23692276The initial cost is always the painful part, but usually there's also a bunch of stuff you still have to order in a second wave once you realize that you're missing several critical things.
I'll only start painting once I'm fully financially independent, hopefully in 5 years.I don't have time, money or energy as a corporate slave working 12 hours a day.

>>23692291Is that the actual Serpent or the Chink version of it? Can a Wing slopper confirm?
>>23692291I am more interested in the weapons.
>>23691984Is this the actual classic GM they're releasing or did you post a mock-up of it?

>>23692276Airbrush maintainance is the make or break part of the hobby. Some people don't like the idea of flushing their brush multiple times in one session and then one full clean at the end.
>>23692310Its a chink bootleg Its just a mix of sloep and gto so we can expect both of it.

>>23692417Just ignore them. There are a ton of people who bitch about anything short of Gunpla World Cup quality painted builds, but never post anything of their own. Just post snapped builds and ask about anything you'd like to do better.

>>23692602Mechanicore always charge absurd prices for their shit as if it's some kind of premium option, anon. Did you not see how much they wanted for the "Nightingale?"
>>23692583post with your hand for size comparison
>>23692712Nice try getting anon to post feet, but no one's that stupid
>>23692689uhhthat's just type e with some option parts slapped on no?
>>23692599Took me about maybe 10 hours for the entire process, it's incredibly satisfying to turn sheets of plastic into a cool ass robot. The most relaxing part for me was actually the stickers and panel lining, I found great joy in applying them with my hobby knife and watching the kits design become more complex in my hands. I did fuck up by spray painting the gold parts, which caused them to become thicker and have trouble snapping into their place, I actually broke one of the gold calf inner detail parts because of it and the transforming feature doesn't work right now. I also hit it with one set of matte top coat last night, and a small one this morning although I still don't know how much is too much, I fear I went overboard. I also did not sticker the back, I just didn't feel like it.
>>23692737Yeah, that's pretty much what all the P-Bandai variants are, plus a handful of exclusive parts.

>>23692769I wanna see that bulletproof plastic.
I think hi-nu option parts like a cannon bigger than it is is tacky and lame and stupid and if you have one or think it is cool, you are lesser than me and have bad taste.
>>23692810>DABVN>PrideThe only thing that daban does best is making you realise that you should have bought a Bandai kit instead.
>>23692813The Hi-Nu gundam is already tacky and lame. I won't stoop to your level worm.
>>23692741Figure out what your topcoat is made of. If it's Mr color, get a cotton swab covered in isopropyl alcohol and rub the chest gem. It will remove the top coat and make it shiny.Also since you like the stickers, look into water decals for your next kit. They are the same design, but you can see their edges far less and look more painted on (especially with a top coat).Next time you paint, try to avoid the joints/pegs. If parts won't connect due to getting some on, just sand it. It's a peg so it's not going to be seen so the sanding doesn't have to be perfect.
>>23692704I was more alluding that if bro was not lucky enough te get a Dendrobium at restock those are going for stupid prices also now.

Alright here's an attempt at replicating the dry transfer decals I mentioned in the last thread, just need to order some waterslide decal paper and print them out, if this all works out definitely going to do this for my other 1.0 kits I have waiting to be worked on.
>>23692885Remember that you can't print white unless your printer is super fancy.
>>23692911He can if he just goes to the federal express or up’s and pays like 25 cents for a print.
>>23692911I was looking into how I could print and there's inkjet waterslide paper on amazon so I'm sure my regular ass HP printer will do fine unless do what >>23692913 suggested and print at a fedex store, hell maybe the printer at my work can do the job too lol where there's a will there's a way.
>>23692914Your regular ahh hp printer likely won’t do fine. Most regular ahh printers can’t print white. You’ll need access to a special printer that can.
>>23692863>>23692871it has better proportions and colors than the Ver Ka thoughie
>>23692923don't worry anon you just gotta believe
>>23692914>I'm sure my regular ass HP printer will do fine LOLwhite ink is very rare, i'm almost possitve that finding one that will print white will be near impossibleprinters 'print' white by not printing anything on that spot

Opinion on MG Wing Zero EW?
>>23692962Which one?
>>23692968This one.
>>23692911there's while decal paper, I guess you could just print an outline with yellow and cut it
>>23692985Thank you, finally some suggestions that are helpful instead of "can't do's" or "won't work"
>>23692985You would have to be super super precise with the cutting, because anything less than perfect and it's going to look off and ugly.The real answer is to find an online service to print the decals for you, because they have specialized printers that can do it. It's just going to be super expensive, like $10 USD for a single sheet.
Well, the clear coat actually fixed all the orange peel on the blue, but thus Kaleido stuff pools a bit more than Mr Color and my high grit sandpaper isn't making any progress really. Still better than the before though.
>>23693000Yeah I'm trying to search for a service but I'm not getting any definite answers on what place can do it, if it comes down to printing with outlines on white waterslide decal paper then so be it, I did read an online tutorial for this situation and the way they did it was to do the most grey print close to white as possible but it will still use black ink but will come out like off white which is fine by me, I don't need it 100% autistically accurate given the circumstances of these decals not being in print anymore. Trying to preserve these decals, it's gunpla history.
>>23692885...So much disinformation is bring posted...I make homemade decals on clear decal paper. Some tips:- Space out the designs, and repeat the designs at least three times. You will have a high failure rate with application. - Decal paper is usually 8.5 by 11 inches. Use up all the paper for one print. you won't be able to print on the leftovers later.- It's up to you to cut the design out as close to the image as possible, as the decal paper you're printing on is really one giant clear decal.- Color copier's toner is not fully opaque. It will always be transparent. You made need to overlap the decal with the same design to bring out the colors over dark paint.- White toner exists, but finding a copier that prints with it is challenging.- Avoid white decal paper. It's a full field of white. Those "Z"s you printed would have to be cut out exactly, unless you surround the "Z" with a color that matches the background on the model.Good luck!
>>23692583Clean your camera and build up layers of clearcoat to make the stickers less obvious.
>>23693017>>23692143Aerial was my first painted kit from like June. It isn't purposely weathered looking, I tried to make it factory new and failed even before the bad matt top coat. I've gotten a bit better but still not good.

PGU Nu reviews when?
>>23693061And one last one of the Crossbone. I technically built this guy as the Full Cloth, but he's a pre action base MG so he kinda just has to stand there if I put the full cloth on. So I'm going to just leave it off. Bought the FC only because I wasn't planning on decal bombing him and also the cartoonier skulls.
>>236930695 minutes
>>23693077You can just put him on the generic attachment point. The P-Bandai Crossbones actually all come with a unique action base connector that connects to the centerpoint of the backpack though, I wish they'd update the original kits with that piece.
>>23693084You have to use the U connectors and I really dislike those. Also he lost weapon privileges anyway and lightly setting him on the shelf made him drop both. These are the worst peg hands I've ever seen. For that picture it took me 10 minutes to get both in the hands at the same time.
>>23693090Yeah, the MG Crossbones are probably the worst kits in existence in terms of holding their weapons. Their joints will weaken pretty quickly too holding them. Some of the PB ones update some of the frame to KPS which helps though.I'd like to see a 2.0, they could be made much better.
>>23693026Now this helpful, I'm trying the off-white print method and it's actually getting somewhere tried the lightest grey I could and then added a bit of yellow to the decals and did a test print, would probably rather do a decal printing service but for now this is a start, going to fine tune the coloring to make it perfect.
>>23693077the beam zanber is wrongthe boxy part should be covering the beam emitter
>>23693106That's good to know. The only other one I'd want is the X-3 so I'll keep in mind the stand change + maybe KPS. I swore I saw them on stand previously, in poses that the U doesn't work for, and it must have been one of those.Anyway, I need a break from UC for a little bit. Probably going to build the Freedom 2.0 next. >>23693110Oh that makes sense given the base of it. I was trying to avoid needing to break out the manual.
>>23692754>>23692802"Humanity was a mistake."
>>23693115I think it's just the X-0 and Patchwork that get KPS but I don't remember. But yeah, this little bit right here really helps them out a lot, especially the Full Cloth.
>>23693109>AEUGI read pic for a second.
>>23693134Chang, can you bootleg this part?
>>23693109Further Tip:I used a laser color copier for my decals, which melts the plastic toner onto the decal paper.If you are printing these using an ink jet printer, mist the final print with some clear coat (gloss or matte is up to you.) The ink will be poorly absorbed by the decal paper and could come off with application.
>>23693165It isn't too hard to make a facsimile yourself. Custom stand adapters are a fun project.
>>23692969Slop. Fundamentally inferior to the ver ka. The wings come with these little rubber feathers that yellow over time.
>>23693178Hmmm I see, I don't have the waterslide paper just yet, I am still looking into services online and so far I've found that Samuel Decal and another place called FalloutHobbies does custom decals as well, I'm considering doing them myself as a last resort but keeping the option open by making sure I can do a decent job printing them and testing different lighter shades as an alternative to white. For now I'm going to keep recreating the rest of the decals and stickers for my 1.0 kits in photoshop. Thanks for the help, appreciate it alot!
The 00 RG kits are so strange. I don't know if it's something specifically about the plastic but the details are so soft compared to the MGs. I know they're only 10 years old but I can't imagine how much better they would look with modern RG production.

My friend gifted me this kit. I don't really like the rebuilds but he went out of his way to find something I'd like, that he knows nothing about, that's nice. My backlog is so huge that I likely won't be able to paint it this year. What kind of paintjob should I go for ? Not a fan of the orange but I'm not sure what to replace it with. I like the purple and want to keep it, probably a flat candy purple
>>23693808Nice pic.
>>23693808>>23693809It's only visible for those who possess four chins premium
So has GSI Creos just stopped doing exports for some reasonImpossible to even get fucking primer and half their product line has been out of stock for months now on most sites
I'm going to buy my first 3d printed conversion kit, but I don't want to spend all day figuring out how it works. Can someone spoonfeed me real quick?A quick google says its made of plastics, so does that mean my usual gunpla plastic cements would work just fine on them? Do I need special tools like non standard sandpaper and the like?I tried talking to the seller but they're chinese and its impossible to have a coherent conversation on top of the entire office seemingly passing me around taking turns trying to talk to me.
>>23693840i can't tell based on the image but if it's resin, plastic cement will not work and you will need to use superglue/CA glueyou can sand them but resin dust is very dangerous and you should be wearing a mask or work in a very well ventilated area if you don't want cancer
>>23693840It's resin so you're going to need to be really careful with it. Resin dust is really toxic and if you get it in your eyes you could go blind. You should only wet sand it. I personally just use super glue for bonding it. It also feels horrible to work with in every way you could compare it to plastic.
>>23693818If you are in Canada, the government banned some paints cause of some new gay shit and it affected ksi oreos products like hobby paints.
>>23693851>>23693856>Resin dustOk that is really scary. Good thing I checked instead of just going trial and error. Don't warhammer fans use resin all the time? I never heard of it being that dangerous. So I take it eye need eye protection, but even then there is probably risk of it getting on my sweat and dripping down my brows after I take my covers off. Yeah, wet sanding it is then. I never knew things could get this dangerous for hobby stuff
>>23693863That's why we don't have any actual GTM builders in the thread, all died to resin
>>23693865I did a bit more research and apparently resin dust can fuck up animals. I never let my pets into my hobby room, but its easy to imagine some of the aerosolized dust finding its way out no matter how careful I am.So much for new years resolutions. Maybe we'll get a plastic bootleg someday.
>>23693874dude wet sanding
>>23693863He's fucking with you. Cured resin is amorphous like most common plastics. It's about as bad for you as any plastic dust. It's only dangerous if it's not cured fully, but>As discussed earlier, epoxy resins are currently the most commonly used resins in the advanced composite industry. The basic epoxy molecule is a reaction product of epichlorohydrin (ECH) and bisphenol-A (BPA). Some epoxies contain trace amounts of residual ECH typically in the range of <1 to 10 ppm (by weight). Industrial hygiene air monitoring for ECH has been done in a number of workplaces, involving a variety of epoxy resin end uses. Most of the monitoring has shown no detectable levels of ECH in the air. Uncured epoxy resins can present a significant dermal exposure hazard. In many workplaces, manual processing results in potential skin exposure. This can result in skin irritation, rashes and, subsequently, dermatitis if contact is prolonged. Sensitization to the resins can also develop and may require a change of work assignment.>Industrial hygiene air monitoring for ECH has been done in a number of workplaces, involving a variety of epoxy resin end-uses. Most of the monitoring has shown no detectable levels of ECH in the air. https://www.osha.gov/otm/section-3-health-hazards/chapter-1If you're doing any serious amount of sanding, for anything, you should still at least wear a N95 rated mask. A real one, not the cheap chinese shit
>>23693874It doesn't look particularly complex, you could probably customize a basic GM into it
>>23693258Is this that kit that has a additional huge futa slong you can attach?
Latest China Kino has arrived.
>>23693883Weapons look sick. The robot not so much.
>>23693863Also, do yourself a favor and give them a good cleaning in some rubbing alcohol. Resin parts are gonna come covered in mold release and you need to get that stuff off of the parts or paint wont stick.>>23693874As long as you wet sand it you'll be fine.
>>23693874Like others said wet sand and if you are paranoid for your pets just do it in your paint booth.
>>23693232It has one of the best suits in all of Gundam- the Providence. 10/10 on the MG build as well, its a absolute unit and a great centerpiece
>>23693818H39 purple aqueous has been out of stock for so long haven't seen it on any websites
>>23692741Im happy your happy anon. Do yourself a huge favor and look into waterside's to use as decals instead of stickers
>>23693594yeah, some of the old HGs mogs the absolute fuck out of the MGs, the MG Master Gundam can't even close the cape unlike the HG
>>23693909For the Victory it helps that it can't transform. Needing to fit a 3 part ZZ like transformation in a below average height suit is most of the Victory lines problems.
>>23693909The master grade just looks better in every other way
>>23693909Skill issue. You can make his cape fold if you have the skill to do it.
>>23692140okay, so which of these is the second best builder in /gpg/?
>>23693951It's all one guy
>>23693951Me.
>>23693951Me, I take the first, second, third, fourth and 5th
>>23693951Me, for sculpting Scooby Doo.

>>23693818I’ve noticed this with gaia at a lot of my usual places too. I hope it’s not over.
Question. Does anyone know if there's any other difference between the MG Ex-S Gundam from 2019 and the MG Exj-S Task Force alpha version other than the color scheme? The color scheme is sex, but not sure if it justifies it since I already have the 2019 one (which is still on backlog)
plamo for this feel?
Is "gravity" damage a thing? I usually leave my models in dynamic air poses on stands, with their legs off the ground. Recently, I've seen a slight discoloration (light gray plastic turned a white color) on some of the parts that hold up the legs on my INFINITISM high grades (which are pretty heavier then all of my other stuff).any way to prevent further damage? do I need to get replacement parts?
>>23694026Material fatigue is a thing

>>23693909Sazabi and kampher come to mind
>>23694023the TFA version comes with the rapid-fire beam smart gun barrel that (i think) comes from the s-gundam booster typei could be completely wrong about the terminology and origin of the barrel but i'm certain it comes with a different option for the barrel

>>23694165where you are getting that, huh? Chang?
anon told me groupbuilds are a fake social charade and opened my eyes
>>23694026Is sunlight hitting them in any way?
>>23693913It's also why the MG Victory is notorious as a 'hand grenade' since it did include the 3 part ZZ transformation in what is a MS that, when scaled to 1/100 is around the size of a typical 1/144
>>23693883Pretty cool.
are there any of those builds where they submerge the kit in resin but with an eva kit in the orange juice
>>23694186additionally, can any anon inform me on the kind of clear resin they use for these types of builds and how one would dye it orange?
>>23694193they would... dye it with orange dye.. DUH. They mix the clear resin with the dye in a bucket and dump it into whatever
>>23694042of course
>>23694193You put a small amount of dye powder into resin and then mix it. So long as you mix it enough/properly and give it time to cure it will be clear. This guy has a bunch of videos working with epoxy but I think this might be the best one to demonstrate how clear it becomes after working with it properly.https://youtu.be/hCmE2yY8Kvk?t=1037
How could you even have a backlog full of HGs? it takes at most 2 hours (one sitting) to build one.
>>23694295Funko collecting mentality
>>23694256Why the fuck are you bleeding on your kit?
>>23694400It's paint
>>23694400anon is on his period
>>23694400>He doesn't bleed for his kits
>>23694179Funny, my V2 ver ka was a lot better than my ZZ ver ka. The ZZ ver ka is atrocious imo, pieces everywhere falling off constantly. The only struggle with my V2 in terms of hand grenade is the arms.
>>23694498Skill issues on display here
Post you're backlogs
>>23694256A fooking incom in place of the standard jegan vulcans?
>>23694400It's a Plamor ritual, shed blood in front of a kit you're working on to gain Plamor's approval and to gain creative insight to mog the competition. Many GBWC entries have dabbled in Plamor rituals in order to win, why this anon is doing such a thing for a silly group build among a handful of anons is beyond me, it's way too excessive, like bombing a corpse to make sure they're dead dead, or chugging a 2L bottle of water to quench your thirst.
>>23694545Yeah, I've got an idea for it being an Augusta developed Jegan refit with a quasi-psycommu.
>>23694539>>23694295
KITAAAAAAAAAAA
>>23694577>>23694295Often it's because I buy multiple kits in one big online order. When I do that it takes a while to go through them all because I try to take good care of my nub marks so I spend an afternoon or two when I feel like itI'm not always building and I just happened to get the zaku, qubeley and nu ver. ka for christmas along with the gramps being my gift for myself
>>23694566That's very creative! I bet you're cute IRL too.

>decide to look into casting parts from my System Weapon kits>there's just two or three pieces per kit that, when duplicated, would allow all of the weapon variants to be built simultaneously>one piece is already going to require a fucking four part mold because of where the holes are situatedMan, this is going to be fucking bonkers.
>>23694605at a certain point why are you even recasting it instead of just scratchbuilding a look alike

>>23694625>1/144skip
>>23694634dangerously based
>>23694606Because it's complex enough that scratchbuilding would be even worse. Although, looking at the part more closely, I could simply turn it into a two part mold and drill the needed holes. That's certainly more within the realm of possibility.
How many greebles are too many?
unconventionial, but what would you do for bandaged parts details on a kit? I was thinking thin strips of putty, wrapping around, and then sanding it down even more afterwards. It's for an eva build
>>23694652at what scale? at 25mm or larger, thin masking tape with PVA glue brushed on can work if you aren't confident in your putty skills, for smaller scales you might need tissue paper or thinner materials and even putty would be exceedingly difficult.
>>23694650When you start looking like the Death Star trench run you've gone too far.
I don't get the appeal of 1/144
>>23694787small kits look better, take up less space, and HGs have a wider range of different suits available that don't exist in 1/100they also take more skill
>>23694802>they also take more skill
>>23694787easier to digest takes a lot longer to eat a 1/100 kit
>>23694809you do paint your kits right?
>>23694839exactly, they take more skill since hgs tend to be shittier, less detailed kits. So making them look good requires more skill
>>23694842memes aside I want to build up the confidence to fully brush paint 1/144 or larger but I'm just not there yet
>>23694848Just dive in. Buy a cheap one and paint it. You won't improve if you don't practice.
>>23694850I've got a big backlog of HGs I just need to be brave. When people brush paint, do they glue the joints?
>>23694860I personally don't
>>23694860I don't, I just paint and topcoat, then rotate limbs and stuff to check for any spots I might've missed.
>>23694869but if you are doing directional highlights then won't it look strange if reposed? I have an airbrush, but I want to paint a gunpla like it's a miniature.
Surely this fucking year?
>>23694872I learned how to handpaint from warhammer youtubers, the gunpla based tutorials are always missing important info. You can absolutely just carry over what you know about minis. Brush painting inner frame is a chore but it makes your work look better and if you move joints arouns you don't run the risk of exposing something unpainted
>>23694650I feel itchy looking at that thing.
>>23694860I have a huge mg backlog and hgs. I barely have any rgs besides the god gundam.
Does anyone have any advice on how they'd go about customizing one of these? Maybe the shoulders could be lifted from HG Sazabi, but the back, side leg boosters, gatlings, and commander antenna might need to be scratch built which I have no idea how to do
>>23694176no, I figured it out. I was pushing the legs upward too much, in an attempt to make the "holes" here less visible. Lesson learned.
>>23694885Making a flat part like that antenna out of plasticard is fairly easy, just measure, sketch, and cut. All you need to do after that is shape it with some sandpaper.
>>23694885You could probably build something close to those extension boosters out of Gaplant parts
I have never built a Gundam or a model like one. I just want to say that was a fucking delight. Like a true American, I bought the Japanese product that said "FREEDOM" on the box. This guy is the first one I have ever built. Being the first one I've ever built, I broke the v-fin. I only know it's called a v-fin because I googled 'What glue to use to fix a broken Gundam antenna' and google politely corrected me. Anyway, I inserted it at the wrong angle four times and when I was starting to gently wiggle it back out it conveniently came back out in two pieces. Also it's covered in poorly clipped nubs and the files I was using were way too fierce so it is covered in so many scuffs that I'm tempted to buy panel liner just to highlight the scuffs and call them battle damage. When I was busy posing the completed figure my finger caught the yellow v-fin, popped it free, and sent the red accent on it flying across the room. I've been walking around barefoot for about half an hour now and still haven't found it. That was so much god damn fun that I can see why people that build Gundams chose to build Gundams instead of going out and having sex. 10/10, will be buying way too many more models. I don't even like Gundams all that much. Hopefully that Zoids one that I hesitated pulling the trigger on goes together as well as this one did because I'm going back to my local game store to buy it tomorrow. After that I'll be on the hunt for more weird robots, tanks, and Japanese'd military hardware models. Hopefully figuring out which companies/series are good or not isn't too painful of an adventure. I'm not really going anywhere with this. I'm just rambling. That was sweet. Happy New Year, guys. If any of you spot that little red triangle, let me know.

Holy shit, fucking finally. Based Changs.
>>23692962Finished one the other day. Build wasn't bad, only three complaints from me. The hands are shit, can't hold the beam rifle, regardless if you have them connected or not. I tucked the rifle's stock up against the chest and that helps hold it in place. I'd recommend buying third party hands or something for a better grip. I might try throwing some sticky tacky onto the rifle grips and see if that helps. I've seen some say to use magnets, though I've no idea where you could even find some that small, maybe a quick google search? The second gripe of mine was the flimsy head fit, more specifically the face plate/chin/eye pieces are loose. Not sure why, I took the whole head apart a few times and couldn't figure it out. Could be a kit issue or some bad luck on my end with a stroke survivor kit? Last is the fucking rubber feathers. I fucking hate them. I fucking hate them to the point that I WAS going to buy the Zero PG as the first PG I'd get. That's not fucking happening thanks to the rubber feathers. Fuck those things. Don't bend them after you paint them. Other than that, it's not a terrible kit. I couldn't find any water decals for it, so I threw the stickers on it and figured that the usual sticker peeling off issue wouldn't happen because of the coat of paint sprayed on them. Nah, it's still happening.
>>23695049I AINT DONE YET
>>23694930Good stuff anon, welcome to the club. Any idea what you will buy next? Also, look into what " safety flags" are for, they are the nubs on the V-fin, cut those lil nubs off. 1 last thing, also look into The fingernail technique for managing nubs. Godspeed

The F91 Jegans really come with a bunch of extra shit. Just gonna take some sawing to fit the backpack bits on the crotch.

Jegay
if you stan a uc grunt im just gonna assume you got vaxed within the first week
>>23695637How's life, Worm?
>bought a couple bootlegs from Ali a few days before Christmas>one of them arrived just before the new year>the other is still being held hostage by customs for some godsforsaken reason
planning group build. haven't made any permanent modifications to parts yet. not sold on the backpack.
>>23695661Pray anon, genuinely pray.
>want to get into mini/model painting>some high grade gunpla seems like a good test subject>gundam mech designs are too shit even as a guinea pigI guess I should just start with 30mm Melander since that nigga's all grey anyway.
>>23695669if you are painting the plastic color doesn't matter
>>23695331The kit has some flashing issues, which I think are from being older. Otherwise she's excellent.
>>23695687There just isn't the psychological barrier of ruining stock colors.
>>23695696acrylics have a bad reputation within finescale modeling due to paint finishes and fast drying times but 99% isopropyl and an old toothbrush will strip them clean in about 5 minutes without harming plastic
>>23695739i legit believe i would've bought some gqx kits if i didnt watch the shownot this one tho
>>23695743I have an ultrasonic cleaner full of 90% and it'll strip acrylic paint in like a minute.
>>23695739the open mouth gimmick looks a lot sillier than I thought it would
>>23695280that white doesn't seem like a good choice for weatheringit gives more of a "jieda just finished painting his bedroom" vibe
>>23695739>Anything but an MG
>1/144don't care
>>23695760Lmao lk fr tho. I actually liked some of the designs and was planning on getting them but when the show started getting so convoluted and retarded I lost interest.
>>23695663I've been looking all over for those 30mm heads. I've used them on two groupbuild entries so far but I need more. Try swapping the visors with the chins, or flipping the chins upside down. So many options with that set.

This kit is fucking amazing, man. I wish there's more non-humanoid gunpla.This shit is a bootleg, but got NO fitting issues, nice plastic quality and way more extras than Bandai's. Steel cannon, multi-color wire cables (above arms), coil springs (below arms) and water slide decals.
>>23695845Also, Matt top coat is crazy good that it made me regretted using semi-gloss this whole time.
>>23695845>day 12, they still don't know that I am Haro
>>23695849Why the fuck were you using semi gloss as a top coat lmfao. Did you want it to look like bare plastic?
>>23695857reading comprehension
>>23695854Haropla is great>>23695857Yeah because I used it just for the decals. I didn't know different top coat would make it look so different.
>>23695739Gonna get this and replace the exposed Endymion Unit with a shot of Amuro's visor.
>>23694930Right next to the desk I had a trash can thst I should have bagged up and thrown out last week. When I knocked the yellow v-fin off it popped off in the direction of that trash can. I spent the tail end of my night carefully picking out every taco wrapper, unfolding it and shaking it out. Got to the very bottom of the trash can. No red triangle. I asked my dog what I'm going to do and she looked off to the side and at the 3D printer. I do have red filament. Also I fed the dog because her food is stored off to the side of where the 3D printer sits and that was what she actually looked at. Next step is crawling around the desk with a flashlight and if that fails it's time to learn CAD and just make one.>>23694941Yessir. I saw a bunch of little emery boards of varying grit right next to the files I picked up. One of those packs is coming home with me once I go get a robot wolf.>>23695157Ah! Thanks for the heads up. I would have got like 4 more models, took a group picture, then been humiliated that all of them still have the safety flags on. I don't think I saw anything about that in the instructions. Good to know. Thanks a million. A Zoid is next on the list. I saw one I liked at the game store, but it was a little pricey and I wasn't sure if I was going to be into building models like these. Now it looks dirt cheap for what I get. Guess I should pick up glue while I'm there. Past that, who knows? I'm not so hot on Gundam but I love robots and weird sci-fi military nonsense. I hope the Zoids models are worth it. When I started driving a friend would come over in the morning before we wouldn't go to school. We watched Zoids because it was on. We even named my first car Zeke so I have a soft spot for them.Speaking of which, anyone know what brands to look out for or do I just search for "plasmo" and hope what I find aren't garbage? Is there some infamous brand to avoid due to low quality or something?
>>23695923cute
>>23695923>here is your 30th anniversary kitt-thanks!
>>23695923It must hurt to be fans of this series.
>>23695827it's also very tempting to try and fit one of the visor parts onto the zaku helmet that came with the kit. I think with just a little bit of sanding it should fit without too much gap
>>23695936That’s why the one xfag here keeps crashing out and shitting up the board
>>23695923KEKAROOOOOOOO
>>23695941I remember the cope that they had with “finally!” And “its the kit that I wanted all along!”
>>23695951I actually wanted a statue of Tifa but this is good enough. I just have to putty up the joints to make them solid.
>>23695760>>23695818I don't understand why anyone is swayed on buying a model kit due to watching a show, or not, or the events that happen within it. It's as simple as, do I like the design = buy. Never watched Gqux, never will, bought the Police Zaku & Gelgoog.
>>23695964I am into this hobby because I want to paint the robot toys from the shows that I like and not random designs that I have no attachment to. If I bought a seed kit I would be deathly afraid of someone misunderstanding and assuming that I like it
>>23695964I personally dont buy the kit if I despise the character.
>>23695972Same. Rustal and Gjallarhorn in general RUINED their designs for me. I refuse to buy a Graze because of it
>>23695964Because the stories make us want to have mementos of the things we liked. It reminds people of it. I feel spiritually connected to Char Aznable so I will buy anything they make red.
>>23695981I’m the same way but with Kira Jesus. Will buy every strike and freedom variant they shit out.
>>23695899If it's robots you want, check out Hexa Gears from Kotobukiya. They're a mix of robots and dudes in power armor and the line is designed to make it easy to swap parts around.
Ace custom ball that's just 3 balls stuck together.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb8EhbNWnnoWhich of you motherfuckers are bad enough to build this plamo?
>>23692143Experimenting on plates
Are they gonna to announce any new pla for the new year or are we gonna keep this light release schedule for the first 2 quarters?
>>23696045how the fuck would we know
>>23696060I work for Bandai. My father, my mother and sister are execs of Bandai. I know for a fact that you won't get any other MG release besides Astray, and some Katoki kit
>>23696045Yes, my dad is John.
>>23696045They're announcing the master grade zok soon
>>23696060Don’t the have hobby shows or events where they announce this shit?
>>23696060My dad slept with John Bandai so I know
>>23696122What did he discover?
>>23696127He's surprisingly hung for a japanese man
>>23696040Im liking it so far. Im thinking of some more modifications.
how do I become this autistic?
>>23696208Dont fap, cold showers, watch fight club, drive and lock yourself inside a white room.
>>23696232>don't fapit's over before it even began
>>23696208Tylenol
>>23696232>Dont fapthis is simply non-negotiable
>>23696152I might snag my spare aoz weaponry and a different hand. Now thinking up of a colour scheme.
>>23696233>>23696256Imustcooooooom. Its 2026 and youre still gooners.
>>23696232>Don't fapLiterally counter productive. My hand is steady, my mood is calm, my mind is clear, I'm far more patient with my snips, sand paper, or brush, I've had a cigarette, my fingers are too sticky to drop small parts. Time to model. Might even pop off mid-project for a quick rub.
>>23696270jacking off once a day doesnt make me a gooner. also I build and paint more models than you
>>23696270I'm sorry you have low T, anon.:(And invigorated stoke could help out.
>>23696272>>23696274Why are you two so defensive? Is your gooning that bad?
>>23696270>>23696232You think I'm going to go to the store and spend 2 dollars on a pack of bluetack when I have whitetack ready to go? You're insane. The sun is up. People are out there.
>>23696271I kneeeel.
>>23695496JLC
>>23696274My T levels are normal (actually got them checked). I stopped fapping when I got on jewpills.
>>23696278Only one of those could possibly be considered defensive if you really wanted to stretch it. The other was straight up making fun of you. You're the one getting defensive at them.
>MG Sandrock Custom sold out in seconds after the PO went up
>>23696290Oh Im not defensive, Im just pointing out that over fapping is bad for you and two people felt called out for it
>>23696279Why not anon? You could find yourself some kit you could add to your backlog too.
>>23696004no, you don't have a connection there, you're just indonesian
I want CHUNKY armor and BIG GUN(S) and I'm lukewarm in Gundam. There are 8 million IPs and manufactures and I know all the fun is in digging through the cluster fuck and finding your own gems but someone tell me there is some keyword that I can slam in searches that gives me CHUNKY armor panels and BIG GUN(S)
>>23696352Hexa Gear may scratch that itch. The real chunky ones are few and far between but there might be something there you like.
This big ass son of a betch is a cool as hell
I just finished painting a comission of an anime girl (sorry no pics), it was pretty hot, and I couldn't keep myself from hot gluing it. I know ISP will damage lacquer paint and topcoat so I wont try that. But how exactly do you tracelessly clean semen off matte without damaging it?
>>23696408just get some weak IPA
>>23696408Dishwasher
>>23696408Get some help from the church and baptise the kit.
>>23696403Why are you building my kit?
