OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOshould I build the body or waist next?
I didn't like the OP image of the other thread.>>23711547I always start at the feet and then build it up from there
laptop background sexo
>>23711547Whichever one comes first in the manual.
>>23711560Thank you. Tomorrow I am starting the B packs.
I've been complaining about this over on /toy/ for a few days now, but holy fuck clothing for 1/12 girlpla is goddamned expensive, even for basic underwear. And all this because I'm planning to buy the Cyclone Hopper, but she doesn't come with panties and I don't want her to be flashing everyone when I put her into kicking poses with her miniskirt. I feel like a goddamned goon just browsing the various vendors looking for a way to not take it up the ass on shipping costs.
>>23711564$3 is expensive?
>>23711567Holy shit lmfao
>>23711567It's the shipping that eats you up. And if you want to give them more than one outfit, shirts and pants cost something like $9 apiece, and a jacket costs $20 easily.
Here’s the real new genny;>>23711487>>23711487>>23711487
>>23711571you are american.skip a lunch and you can already afford it.
>>23711573please stop this
>>23711547Same as >>23711551 I like to start from the bottom.
>>23711584Srry neets funded the proxysite so I had to give it a try
>>23711564Just paint the crotch so it looks like underwear.Or get some cloth and sew tiny underwear.
>>23711601Sewing is for girls
>>23711606Go to a death metal show and say that
>>23711606girlpla are dolls for girls too
>>23711608I’m a fat neckbeard who has only perverted uses for them.
>>23711608I am a fat neckbeard and they are like daughters to me.
>>23711616>>23711611Why is there so many fat neckbeards into gunpla?
>>23711630The real question is when the people like you showed up
>>23711533Currently panel lining and putting stickers on crookedly.
>>23711533Done for now, will add water decals later.
>>23711702no candy coat shield?
>>23711721I will later, it's been raining heavily plus super windy these past few days so it's kinda hard to spray paint.
>>23711712neat poverty goose
Does anyone know a place that has HG ZII decals? I scoured g rework and delpi but they don't have it and third party aliexpress decals don't have it either.Also does anyone know if the sheet in the pbandai ZII are stickers or waterslide?
A few threads ago an anon linked me an article that said its a myth that lacquer topcoat will reactivate/eat through acrylic paint, is this true? Everyone I've spoken to has told me NOT to spray tamiya flat clear over my hand painted builds but if it's fine I'll be really happy
>>23711764It's fine if you give time for the acrylic layer to cure and spray the lacquer on with light coats.
>>23711533Started snapping together a Quacks. Not sure what I'm gonna do in terms of painting or if I even want to kitbash anything onto it.
>>23711764As far as I'm aware, your acrylic needs to be CURED, not just dry. So let it sit somewhere to offgas for two weeks minimum, so the chemical process can properly complete. Then apply very light coats of topcoat.But all this could depend on the brand of acrylics, always test out new paint combos on some scrap or plastic spoons.
>>23711773Thanks dude. I assume a week should be good, right? How long between coats of topcat?
>>23711777What brand of acrylic paints?
>>23711780Vallejo game color
>>23711785A week is more than fine assuming ideal conditions. You can test it on spoons like the other guy said if you want to be sure. Just make sure each topcoat layer is dry before adding more.
>>23711791Testing on spoons is a great idea. Thank you both :) one more thing: It's too cold to topcoat my stuff outside, but it's fine if I take them from where it's warm then bring them indoors immediately after application, yeah?
>>23711800I've never had to do it myself, but I've seen others say it's worked for them so it should be fine.
>hemoxian X yuanye Batman arkham knight>199RMB(CNY)>Due to copyright issues, this model will be produced in one batch and will not be reissued in the future,So they will randomly give a piece of clothing as a gift
>>23711791>>23711800Groupbuild idea: beginner mistakesBuild a kit with as many beginner mistakes as possible. Visible nubs, sprayed when it was too cold, frosted topcoat, etc
>>23711547Damn the waist is sexy as hell.Nice rifle too with some weird black stickers. I don't know the name but they they feel very smooth and solid.
>look at my heckin anime wallpaper i'm so based!
There's this japanese youtuber who's obsessed with making gunpla taller
>>23711892>just stretch it lol
>>23711359>hype behind resin Huh? I hear warhammer niggas bitch and moan about resin models all the time and tell everyone to stay the fuck away from them.
>>23711892>>23711895Kassy Lab is a better modeller than you tho. The builds are clean and nothing too ridiculous.
>>23711892BANDAI! HIRE THIS GUY!
>>23711908They already did, that's just Katoki's youtube account.
>gunpla gets more popular in my country >more online stores start selling them>some of them start selling popular, hard to find kits at double if not triple the price >all have low rantings from customersJust fucking why. What type of retard juice do these people drink that makes them do this type of garbage
Is the HG for the ZZ good, I'd like a 1/144-scale ZZ but every time I looked into it, I was less than enthused
>HG>1/144>good
>>23711892I really want to like Kassy Labs but he has this strange obsession with elongating proportions and removing existing eye detail then replacing it with pla plate ones.
>>23711892I like extended waists on IBO gundams. I'll probably get custom parts for mg vidar and lupus, can't be assed to do it myself nor do I know how to
>>23711898Hope he sees this, bro
>>23711983Hope he does, Ive learned alot with his process of modifying kits.
Why is this shit so hard to get outside of Japan.
>>23711996I'd start looking at dspiae and stedi brand if nipshit is hard to obtain
NEW ZZA GUS ANNOUNCED, GUNDAM TYPE (left)
>>23712007
>>23711529Thanks
>>23711927It's old and a partsformer, so no it's not good. But it's your only option for 1/144.
Anyone here build the hg macross plus kits? Kinda want to get both the yf-19 and yf-21 but not sure if they're good for the asking price
>>23712025They're basically really good Gundam HGs. They both come with a bust you can display alongside the flight forms too since they're partsformers, which I think is kinda nice. Oftentimes you're left with some spare bits you can't really do anything with but here you've got a whole assembly that looks neat on its own.

Bandai could make an MG Xi/Penelope if they wanted to.
>>23712041Literally impossible.>China does itThat's copyright infringement!
>>23712041of course they could but they're deep in the opportunity cost conundrum
>>23712044Between things like deep striker, PGU Nu, etc do you really think that's an issue?
>>23712043Fucking robot spirits just made a model figure, whats stopping the hobby division from doing it?
>>23712044I miss the times when Bandai had the balls to actually just release model kits just for the love of it.
>>23712046It's an unavoidable issue when you have so many products.
Why doesn't Bandai's China division just buy some of the third party companies?
>>23712048It's a genuine mystery how anything at bandai works. They do some obvious things like the PGU Nu but everything else is the work of schizos.
>>23712048The RD is only the size of the HGUC
>>23712057Is it? My sense of scale must be really off.
>>23712058
>>23712061oh it is, nvm then back to Bandai why won't you make a 1/100 Xi/Penelope.
>>23712022RG when
Isn't this one of the grunts from Wing?
>>23712069you were already told the answer to that
China does what Bandai doesn'tThank you China for being informative!
No one gives a shit about your changpla. Go to another mongolian sub board already.
>>23712073Oh that would be nice. On the denen gei that have a tiny little listing of what runners to use and that's it.
>>23712073as the other anon said bandai is completely schizo, they started doing this for 30mm kits but not the gundam ones
>>23712080the whole site's mongolian
>>23712071No no this is specifically the Hi-Nu-You know what, you're absolutely right, sorry, two people said the MG Hi-Nu's a good kit, I just didn't register that information because I was just relaying it without having a personal investment.Have a Hi-Nu pic I like, I don't personally love the blue or purple for it, I have another favourite pic but it was used as a prior OP already
>>23712080we all love china, just like our lord ZACK
>>23712089The Hi Nu ver Ka doesn't even have any extraneous detailing in the first place, it started the trend of recent ver Kas being more faithful to certain classic depictions like ZZ and Z.
>>23712041>>23712043Could they manufacture a quality MG kit of the thing? Hell yes.Could they make a great enough profit in the process to justify it? That's the more dubious question.>>23712065It's from the movie/OVA, yes. But it's in 1/144, whereas the vast majority of the kits are in 1/100
>>23712095Isn't it in 1/100? They're using the old Serpent 1/100 mold, right?
>>23712041It'd be the size of a PG, at a bare minimum. Considering all teh pointy bits it'd be even bigger. So you'd be looking at $300 for a MG, which we know would flop just like the Deepstriker.
>>23712097Everything I've read says it's in 1/144 like the old fighting action 1/144 HG kits.>>23712063I have no faith that Bandai could make a fully transforming ZZ at 1/144 without it becoming a worse hand grenade than the Zeta. Hell, I have no faith that anybody could do it without a metal frame.
>>23712094Huh, you're right, it doesn't actually look that egregious, alright I'll recommend he give the Ver Ka a fair shake as well, thank you.>no idea what sort of Sazabis or Nu Gundams I'd eventually get myself
>>23712095>That's the more dubious questionBandai has released more ridiculous things.
>>23712100ZZ's transformation is much simpler and easier to recreate than Zeta's, it's not even a contest. Zeta absolutely demolishes its core structural integrity in its waist and torso. ZZ's chest lifts and its arms and legs spin rotating blocks inside them and that's about it. It's a remarkably simple transformation. Zeta's waist folds in while the hips completely split apart and the chest also folds up while the shoulder joints swing 90 degrees. Every element attached to the torso ends up on a hinge to move somewhere else. Zeta is among the most complex transformations of the franchise, especially when you don't factor in scale.
>>23712098> It'd be the size of a PG, at a bare minimum.That didn't stop the MG Perfect Zeong or HG Neo Zeong. But Unicorn was a global success and 0079 is 0079, which is why they got away with it. Hathaway, there's far less of a chance of that, the movies would need to be at least as popular as Unicorn, which we all know isn't going to happen.Best case, a Chinese upscale of the HG, or an Osiris Aerial Dominator style release in a decade that costs as much as the PGU Nu.
>>23712100>I have no faith that Bandai could make a fully transforming ZZ at 1/144 without it becoming a worse hand grenade than the Zeta. Hell, I have no faith that anybody could do it without a metal frame.I wouldn't even mind partsforming for the ZZ if it was at least a fun or clever transformation. The HG for the Zeta does not feel fun to transform, it's just a big silly adapter you throw everything onto, and the red bits for the wings will star to scratch unless you shelled out extra for p-bandai or p-aint.
>>23711892
>>23711892He's on to something because that looks way cooler

Rate my latest Gunplay haul from Japan. I should have bought more at Side-F since the Gundam Base was lacking in any outstanding exclusives.
>>23712127They're Funko collectors.
>>23712133Purple Wing Zero is dogshit. should've gotten White Epyon insteadHaro is good. I also just bought one.
>>23712127most people are in the casual mindset where they think that snapping is a lot of effort. it's really just the starting step to a build but since they're (unknowingly) low time investment, they get satisfaction from considering it "complete"
>>23712083Those schizos also have no idea how to do marketing emails.
>>23712133Why didn't you get the latest geara douga gb limited?
>>23712110The MG Perfect Zeong is from a different time when they were willing to take risks. And the HG Neo Zeong was the flagship rival of their biggest ever gundam entry that's still doing gangbusters in merch today. The Penelope, not even the Xi, is barely a notable gundam and Hathaway's Flash first film was a middling success.China's your best bet, but we'll see what happens considering China and Japan are borderline about to go to war
>>23712025If they are like the Frontier ones, they are very sticker heavy, and the Bandai water decals don't even replace all the stickers.
>>23711892I think it fits on the Lupus. The before shot makes it look like the chest is falling into the waist.
>>23712041>Dijeh in the ImageWhat a blessed day this is
>>23711533Really starting to feel like it's coming together now
>>23712192Hathaway was anything but a middling success. It did great.
>>23712212Compared to the commercial success of the witch from mercury or gqx it was middling.
>>23712154Had only so much space in my bag while in Fukuoka. I will go back eventually. This was trip #4 to Japan. Also I live like 30 min from the Chicago Gundam Base so it may show up there.
>>23711740You try ebay?
>>23711800I just did it recently and it came out fine.
Soon
>>23712233It's been out for ages
>>23712139I WILL KILL YOU
Can you anons tell me if it's possible to combine this version of woundwort can be combined with keehar parts without any problems? I'm worried that keehar shoulder armor can bee too long and bump into those fin rifles in the back.
>>23712286you're going to run into some problems because the kehaar has some bits that attach to the back on a part different from the one the Hazel II uses to mount the cannons
>>23712286The cannons will get in the way of the shoulder turbines.
>>23712208your beam shield puts you too far ahead in the timeline for us to join forces but I am cheering for you regardless
>>23712073this and the 'tyrant sword' were some of the biggest disappoints in plamo history. I wanted them to be good so fucking badly. WHY do they always have to add random lines and bullshit
>>23712316Thank you. The beam shield is what really makes it a specific pilot's ace custom in my layered autistic headcanon, so maybe the rest of it fought alongside your Jegan in the past
stupid question, but I got this big can of acrylic sealer/finisher for this unrelated painting thing that I barely usedI probably shouldn't use it as a top coat even if I'm handpainting acrylics, right?
>>23712371It's probably polyurethane. It works for gunpla but it's permanent. Once it's on there's effectively no way to remove it. It's pretty much an indestructible way to seal your paints.
What's a good filler material for clear resin? Building my first gothicslop kit and I gotta deal with a few chips and air bubbles and all the JP guides only mention special UV curing zero whitening clear glue I can't get here
>>23712224Yeah, no luck i'm starting to think no one actually makes decals for the ZII...I was thinking if combining some of the Z, Zplus and ZZ decals but i don't know what parts of those would be accurate to the ZII. Any suggestion?
>>23712436If you are Euro, Greenstuff world has uv resin and curing lights. It is the same stuff used for nail so you can also try to look for that
>>23712436I imagine whatever gloss topcoat you use would be the best filler. You might be able to find a windshield repair kit that won't fuck up plastic, if you really need to bond parts together, but I'm sure you have better options available (like 3D printer resin).
Boughted MG ZZ ver ka. Feeling good
>>23712468Did you fap to it
>>23712472Unfortunately it doesn't come with a 1/100 Roux or Emma
>>23712468It's fun. The legs were my favorite part of the build.
schizophonic would shatter dalong in a fight
Will we ever get a RG Devil Gundam? Or and updated EW Deathscythe Hell? It's all I want. That and a PG Crossbone and I can rest in peace.
>>23712524I could maybe see a RG Master coming in the future, but a RG Devil Gundam is some genie's wish type stuff.
>>23712522doesn't matter. Zak takes them out both at the same time
My ca glue completely solidified. Whats a good brand that has a long shelf life?
>>23712524None of these are likely to happen. You might be have a chance at a new high grade devil gundam but not a real grade.
>>23712498>Emma>ZZ
>>23712524At best we'll get an HG Devil Gundam (P-Bandai exclusive) because the NG Devil Gundam that they keep reprinting and selling is starting to get very old in the tooth. HG Deathscythe Hell Custom might happen sooner rather than later since they decided to make a retail HG Sandrock Custom.>>23712538Superglue reacts to moisture. The way you keep it from doing that is sealing the tube in a ziploc bag with some desiccants.
>>23712524>RG Devil Gundamzero chance. might get a new HG or a Chinese bootleg>updated EW Deathscythe Hellabsolutely going to happen, just a matter of time>PG Crossboneslim chance but possible considering it's a main Gundam
>>23712524Pg crossbone is never happening. Pgs are only giga normie stuff now and crossbone is too obscure because it doesn’t have anime’s
this shoulld have been Bandai's solution to those ornate stylings instead of what the hell they did with Sinanju Stein Narrative ver Ka
>>23712563>or a Chinese bootlegThere's already one in the works, though I don't remember what scale.
>>23712570This is what they did with the base sinanju and everyone hated it.
>>23712570Reverse wash is the most basic bitch painting technique ever.
Do you think obese cat will ever make rg 1/100 sazabi or nu
>FAT>CATLmao.
>>23711309NTA but I'm working with Bandai decals on this kit (not the kit's decals, general purpose UC ones sold separately) and it takes them a shockingly long time to detach. With G-Rework sheets I can just dip them in the water, set them where they need to go, and wait a few moments and they'll be ready to go. With these I have to leave them soaking for like half a minute before they'll even budge. Also the third-party ones generally only required a light touch with a q-tip but with the Bandai ones I notice I have to give them several good rolls before they lay flat.It's not some nightmare that has me swearing off Bandai decals forever but the difference is noticeable and surprising.
Thoughts? I usually am indifferent on these kinds of paint jobs but this thing is absolutely gorgeous
>>23711533First custom. Trying to put Gouf legs on a Zudah torso, basically. First tried to just snip off the ball joint that the Zudah has and glue on some posts made of sprue to fit to Gouf legs, but that really didn't work. Snapped off immediately. New attempt, drilling out the mount point, putting a bit of sprue through the hole, and using Tamiya glue to melt it into place. Also a bit of putty in one of the internal holes.Ignore the nubs and shit, I'm planning to sand right before I prime/paint and I wanted to figure out what parts I wanted to use.
Trying to handpaint details is fucking suffering, it's like I'm smearing blobs around on the surface and if I go any thinner it runs like water and pools on whatever I touch How do the 40k guys do this
>>23712671something that made me improve a lot is holding your shit with one hand, painting with the other, having both your wrists locked against the other and your elbows set on the tablebeside that it's just working out your paint consistency and using a precision brush
>>23711533B packs are completed. It's a lot worse at standing on its own now. Thankfully it comes with a very nice stand.After this I decal it and panel line it.>>23712649I think they're just thicker, to make it harder to tear them.
>>23712678>paint consistencyThat's the problem, I thinned it just a little bit and it turned into water, and if I try using it straight from the bottle it goops and pools and just looks like shitI've tried three different brushes and can't get anything resembling smoothness with any of them, even unthinned paint pulls to the edges from gravity and won't set on the raised edge
>>23712685You can try sanding the surface with 800-1000 grit to help it grip, or try thinning the paint with something else like retarder or flow improver
>>23712689It's enamel paint atop an already lacquer-painted partAt this point I'm probably going to have to strip it to bare plastic and start over because there's no way I can clean this off without fucking up the basecoat
>>23712633Is this some kind of weird flex?
>>23712698It's him calling you basic for asking for more stickers
>>23712685oh if it's enamel or lacquer then idkaren't these typically thinned with other chemicals?
>>23711533Progress on the Daban Strike with the diecast inner frame.I'm actually impressed so far, as the parts fit almost perfectly and all the pieces come prepainted, either in a pearl finish (the red, blue and yellow) or in a very neat flat finish ( for the 2 shades of gray you get for the armor instead of the boring white you would see in the MG) and two different shades of metallic chrome for the inner frame.Weirdly, the diecast inner frame set forgot entirely about the shoulders. No metal parts whatsoever for that section, which is kinda weird since they are also semiexposed and there is even the anchor thing there that holds in position the different Strike packs.The head is divided in waaaay more parts than the MG counterpart and some are fucking tiny, so you have to be careful. One difference with the actual Metal Build figure so far is that the clear part for the main camera in the head comes molded in a dark clear green, instead of clear light blue.My main gripe so far are the yellow antennas. They have very small hooks that are supposed to grip the white V fin, but they are so small they barely do it, so the are prone to fall off.
>>23712708I have mineral spirits which afaik is enamel thinner, yes.
>>23712713BackThe only thing I don't like about the MB interpretation of the Strike is the thurster in the back. In the lineart it is fully integrated into the body, here, they elongated it so it kinda hangs there and its main purpose is to hide the hardpoint to connect the Strike packs
where can i get pics of the hi nu with the polka dot shield?
>>23712760Anywhere that sells paints
>>23712760That shit gives me trypophobia
>>23712208Is this a nouvel jegan? I love it. Good job big dog can't wait to see the finished product.
RG EVA 05
>>23712705Sounded like it was him saying reverse watch was being a basic bitch to me.
>>23712797I genuinely don't remember seeing this thing in eva.
After watching the stream, I just realized that Bandai didn't put any connection points for the HWS parts
>>23712827Also it can't stand for shit on it's own.Anyone know any rumors on upcoming MGSD models? I really like the idea of the line but outside Wing I don't care for any of the suits released.
>>23712832I mean you could always display it with the funnels deployed if you want it to stand on it's own
>>23712827New stream or the old one?
>>23712838It was falling all over the place with the funnels removed. If that wasn't a prototype and the real one is anything like that people are going to lose their minds.
should i get the buster doll paladin or darkness claw version?
>>23712827With everything we've heard about how much of a disappointment it is, do you really think that adding even more weight to the thing would be a good idea? Besides which, PG kits are always the least likely to get attachments or expansions, to this day we still don't have a Perfect Gundam, or the Hyper Mega Launcher for the Zeta, or Snow White and/or Drei Zwerg for the Wing Zero Custom, or G-Defenser for the Mk-II, or XN Raiser for the 00 Raiser, or Avalanche(') for the Exia. Hell, the PGU RX-78-2 never even got a bazooka, third-party Chinese aftermarket companies had to give that to us.
>>23712865I had this really small hope that Bamco will continue the trend of making HWS since we have it in both 144 and 100 scale forms
>>23711533
>>23712127Damn bro how insecure do you have to be that other people's contentment makes you seethe?
>>23712867Who even cares about that shi? Why would you ruin a classic and sleek design like the nu with some shitty boxes?
>>23711533I swear I was going to take non shit photos of this thing but it's too big for my lightbox.It came with two decal sheets and I want to use none of them.
>>23712897yeah the decals are a whole fuckton
pg exs
>step away from a project over the holidays>getting back to working on it and realizing I don't like almost anything about how it's turning out and probably need to start over.
>>23712824Nobody cares newfag.
>>23712041Why are we pretending this doesnt exsit? They used to actually take risk and they did it often.
>>23712897>>23712905Beautiful
>>23712098>Deep StrikerThat kit deserved to fail, it's a RE/100 marketed as as MG for whatever reason. It doesn't even have a inner frame.
>>23712827I'm liking the internal frame, we need stuff more like this in MGs. shame that I hate that how greebled it looks and still can't handle the Fin Funnels properly. I hate that the Nu ver Ka is more appealing to me than the PGU Nu
>>23713022Who gives a fuck? Were you expecting it to do Jojo poses?
Every Japanese builder I follow has built that Chinese Jeddah kit and have nothing but good things to say about it. Are they all shills or is it actually good?
>>23713096holy fuck why does the inside of the shield look like greebled up nonsense
>>23712871Oh hey I've been thinking about buying this guy. How's the build?
>>23713100Why does the entire kit look like greebled up nonsense more like
building individual fingers always makes me want to kill myself. GOD I fucking hate it.
Prototype Re-Haze kit
>>23713159Is this a plamo bootleg of the already existing resin Watership version of the Rehaize or is this original? One of my favorite AoZ designs so I'm very interested
>>23713159Damn I'm interes->1/144nevermind
>>23713049psycho zaku was half the price and still big as fuck with a ton of accessories and still had an inner framedeep striker can't even do the bare minimum and move its guns, it cant move it's thrusters.. fucking dendrobium did more
>>23713161the watership kit looks different in many of its details and is generally more accurate, this one looks original (and worse)
>>23713173The subarm looks way better on the watership version you're right. What else do you think looks worse? I'm a poorfag that can hardly into paint so il probably roll with this version still
Girlpla is getting better
>>23713159Wow it looks like the actual thing. Price and release?
>>23713100It's probably liquid cooled like the gp02's shield
>>23713188Price unknown. Releases next month wow!!!!
Anyone wanna be reminded that there are very little non-UC mook suits in the Master Grade line? All I can remember are the GINN, the ZAKU Warrior, and the GN-X. Any future mook suits could be released in the Full Mechanics line for a more affordable army building at 1/100 scale.
>>23713221But what is army building really?
>>23713183Both Falcon and his paypiggy pilot are hotter than this garbage.
>>23713159>144fug, now I might consider getting this
>>23713242two mirrors
>>23713255>fug, now I might consider getting thisIt's not scale accurate, it's way too big
>>23712760
>>23713298I think that the HWS parts ruins the design for both Nu and Hi-Nu.
>>23713159These 3rd party companies need to do the Gaia Gear designs.
>>23713100
i'm doing the gay box art trading card thing
>>23712773Yeah, something like that. Thanks!Still thinkin bout missile pods. Which looks cooler?
>>23711533Just finished my ZeongThis is my second build and my first time painting. I fear I overdid it in some parts with the weathering but from from a distance I'm pretty satisfied.This is a really fucking cool kit, such an awesome design.
>>23713367Not sure why you'd need any weathering at all (I get it preference and all that). It was in one battle and deployed incomplete, that thing was factory fresh until it got blowed up.
>>23713392Having said that, it looks good. My local Michael's had the coating version, I've been thinking of grabbing one.
>>23713385wtf rude
>>23713280As long as it scales to Bandai's Hazentley II then idgaf
>>23713406It doesn't, this is 23cm and the hazenthley ii is 18cm
>>23713280>>23713406Those forearms look taken from Hyzenthlay or a near match to them so I think it's properly scaled. Booster pod too.
>>23713411pretty sure if you measure the totality of Hyzenthlay II it's going to be about that size too, there are multiple ways to take height measurements. Measuring to the head is gonna give you a lot shorter height than measuring to the tips of the spiky bits sticking up.tl;dr post hyzenthlay II next to a ruler.
>>23713298>>23713303that thing looks diseased
>>23713303Beam rifle is the only decent part.
>>23713426poisonous mushroom color scheme
>>23713426It's from the very first piece of art of it
>>23713521Cool, its chilling in a dark, depressing post apocalyptic wasteland, full of disease and death

It bothers me that most of the pics of the FA ZZ are with the big gun. It’s not anime accurate.

What low tack tape do you recommend?
Has anyone here bought this parts kit and can tell me what your experience was with it? I have RG Exia and RG 00 XN Raiser sitting in my box fort, I'm sorta-kinda contemplating buying two of this for them, but the pictures of the hip/torso replacement/extension just look super fucking weird. Apparently the Exia and 00 Raiser have really bad leg motion range because the front skirt gets in the way?
I've been on this kit for so fucking long because I physically cannot stop screwing up and having to repaint
>>23713637Most of the people buying this haven't seen ZZ.
>>23713637>muh cartoonsWho cares
>>23713675FA ZZ isn't actually in ZZ
>>23713676I do. They are literally the commercials for this shit.
>>23713678I also have not seen ZZ

if groupbuild guy is allowing reben wolves and victory gundams for the group build then I'm submitting a custom woundwort because they DEFINITELY made more woundworts than either of those
>>23713678It's there for like 10 seconds then the armor gets discarded.
>>23713690How come gundam upgrades tend to job so much? The v2 assault and buster parts and V1 dash parts also just get shot off.
>>23713698Full armor equipment is inherently disposable.
I doubt anybody here can help me but I live in a 3rd world country and there isn't a single shop that sells lacquer hobby paint. I'm a buyfag so I have no problems using proxies to ship stuff to where I live but paint is a big no-no apparently. Is it owari da for me or is there any way to get the stuff I need? If I understand correctly you can't even lacquer paint in your plane luggage right?
>>23713712>I live in a 3rd world countryLmao
>>23713712Just use acrylics. They're fine these days.
>>23713712If it's baked into your country's regulations that lacquer paints are not allowed, you could try using enamels instead. Those take longer to dry, but they should still be air-brushable and are just as durable if not more so. Though it might depend on if your country's hardware stores allow you to buy lacquer thinner, because that's the other half of the equation.
>>23713712aliexpress ships lacquer paint to me with no issue even though it's illegal here. I think they bribe the local government to get away with putting prohibited items in packages
>>23713687is this controversial? always assumed woundwort was a grunt since it comes in like 4 colors for the same suitaoz are light novels right? you guys actually read these?
>>23713744>is this controversialYes
>>23713163Same...
>>23713744>you guys actually read these?yes but only BL LNs because I'm a fujo
>Buy decals for MG Freedom>Not wanting to actually put them on after seeing there are like 50 before the extra ones>Not wanting to start a new kit before it is done

What's a good airbrush for an amateur?
>>23713777there's at least 2 and a half women reading this thread right now
>>23713778GSI PS 289. Cheaper brushes are harder to use/clean which means that makes them break even quicker. The 289 is good enough quality to last you and be easy to clean, but still sub $100
>>23713778Master airbrush G233. It's good and it can take pretty much any mystery meat chinese airbrush parts. You will break nozzles and bend needles on any airbrush so it's good to pick one that's cheap and easy to fix.I've been using mine for about a year now and it's still going strong.
>>23713726Thanks man, I'll try aliexpress then.>>23713725From the research I've done online, it seemed that enamel is trickier to work with. I guess I'll look into it
>>23713784tis an awesome thing to see!
>>23713784what if thighs anon was a woman all along...
>>23713813
>>23713784Yeah but they weren't born women
>>23713794Isn’t this one of those chink brushes? will have to go with this anon >>23713791. I think this is the one I have, was only like $70 bucks so not terribly expensive but I read it’s exactly the same as the more expensive iwata ones despite being half the price and has served me well over the years with no issues
>>23713828Yeah it's chinese but it's a decent quality chinese one.A GSI airbrush isn't the same as an iwata but they're made in the same factory.
>>23713778Grex
I'm starting to see the light with torso lengthening
>>23713794I only have been painting for a year, but my 289 hasn't broken it's original needle or nozzle yet. Are you sure it's not because you are using a chink airbrush that you need to repair it? I primarily use lacquers so the cleaners for that are the most intense too.
>>23713838Ya same here. Been abusing this shit and it’s never failed me. Meanwhile my iwata eclipse inexplicably started having problems even after I replaced the nozzle and needle and deep cleaned all the parts save the o rings and shit.
>>23713096>that logoI'd get a Miku Haro desu
>>23713838No, the parts broke because I'm a retard and dinged the tip of the needle and over torqued a nozzle when I was putting it in. I have used this airbrush for a lot of kits. I paint a lot.
I was painting along a seam I fused but I noticed that the paint was too shiny relative to the plastic, any ways to lower the intensity to make it match the surrounding plastic better or am I going to have to paint the whole damn thing?
>>23713853u r gon have to paint the whole damn thing to get it exactly the same in terms of color. but once you lay down ur top coat over the painted and unpainted parts it will have same shine.
>>23713853How u know about paint and seam fusing but not top coat
>>23713853Just use clearcoat to make the sheen uniform
>>23712827Thank God. That expansion would cost as much as the pgu rx78
>>237138771000 burgers for nu heavy weapon system and leds. Wonder how much the chink bootlegs will be.
>>23713637you must have been seething when Alex 2.0 was announced
>>23713600>>23713609What is up with people being obsessed with scribing?
>>23712025Careful with the yf 19 arms, the ball joint is connected to the shoulder with a super thin union. I broke both its arms so now its permanently in plane mode. Besides that its very nice.
>>23713891I was
>>23713907It’s the mouth breathers who obsess over almost chink-level of greeble because “ROBOT HAVE MORE DETAIL SO GOOD”.
>>23713744Pretty sure all of the stuff in the aoz series are experimental test units. Which is why none of them were present during Zeta.
>>23713924Aren’t all gundams experimental test units
>>23713925nogundams are prototypes for mass production units
>>23712052because the only valuable part of these third party companies is the mechanical designers and bandai would rather stick to its existing japanese employees for that.besides that they're just renting out injection molding factories to do runs the same as koto etc do, which is why they reprint much less often than bandai
>>23712661my only thought is "damn that shit looks cool"
>>23712691>It's enamel paint atop an already lacquer-painted part>there's no way I can clean this off without fucking up the basecoatwhat the fuck are you talking aboutenamel on top of lacquer is frequently used for how EASY it is to clean off without touching the base coat. no need to paint accurately, you just wipe off the edges of your mess with a qtip and some lighter fluid.
Managed to snag these for slightly cheaper than usual, and am going to see how they build. It looks like they took the Emotion Manipulator idea and ran with it for multiple types of custom hands.
>>23713962These things suck ass.
>>23713392>It was in one battle and deployed incomplete, that thing was factory fresh until it got blowed upa true modeler never lets canon get in the way of his "because it looks cool" customs
>>23713726I think they just lie on the forms and claim it's oil paint.
>>23713967What's custom about this besides the doodoo feces built up on the edge of the stickers?
>>23713962Looks like it has the ball joints for the old MG kits. Might be a good idea to grab a pair for my Shining Gundam.
>>23713778Seconding the ps 289. Good price, Japanese made in the same factory as Iwata, easy to clean, have had no problems with it as an amateur. It's the best value non-CN-made brush you can get. The only niggle is the MAC valve near the front which is totally unneeded if you have a regulator on your compressor to control PSI and which makes some airbrush holders not fit.It's NOT exactly the same as the iwata eclipse line though. For one thing it has a screw on nozzle instead of the eclipse series' compression-fit one. >>23713784Can confirm. I'm half woman on my mother's side.
>>23713978>Looks up the IwataWhy are they using such a stupid mechanism?>Half womanMy condolences, I also suffer from this. Wish I could have been pure YY.
>>23714009I imagine the goal of that mechanism is because it doesn't wear out and leak like threads can. The whole design is gasketless.
>>23713521looks cooler here as it looks more like potshots that it deflected that left marks
>>23713303looks pretty natural on hi-nu desu
>>23713367>>23713372>>23713380>>23713385You used the wrong weathering colour, brown unironically makes it look like it got dropped in a toilet. You're looking for silver/grey/exposed metal colours to weather with. Also consider water slides next time instead of the stickers it comes with to blend it in better.
>>23714036pyw
>>23714036>brown unironically makes it look like it got dropped in a toiletKEK I can’t unsee it now
>>23714009>Why are they using such a stupid mechanism?In this very thread there's an anon talking about breaking his airbrush nozzle by overtorquing it while trying to screw it back on. So at a minimum pressure seal is more maintainable for hamhands like that.
>>23714058That nozzle had come on and off at least 10 times. It was inevitable.
Are acrylics easier to hand-paint with than enamels? I've been trying to do a small amount of hand work with enamels (on a lacquer-airbrushed piece) but the results look like utter shit
>>23713637Yeah cuz ZZ is not anime
>>23714246hontou no koto saaaaaaaa
>>23714246
>>23714172I've handpainted with enamels and water based acrylics. Normally I stick to the latter because you just need water for thinning and clean up.
>>23714150you people take these things apart way too often. you aren't supposed to remove it every cleaning
>>23714373I was learning to use acrylic paints and I made mistakes which necessitated removing it.
>>23714373Exactly. I’ve never had to taken my screw in nozzle out and kept it clean and working for years.
Some of those piece are fucking microscopic holy shit.
>Need some new sillyputty for masking.>Every single store that normally has it no longer carries it.The fuck? I checked walmart, target, five below, and the dollar store. All of them carried it last year and now its just gone.
>>23714508Why do you think that is? What happened in the last year that could cause that?
>>23714517No idea. If you were implying tariffs it wouldn't be that since silly putty is actually something made domestically in the US.
>>23714533But the materials. They have to come from somewhere
>>23714540What?
>>23714557Us manufacturing is in decline because tarifftips make input costs go up
>>23714562Every component of silly putty is produced primarily in the US. You need to stop shitting up the thread with your autistic whining about politics.
>>23714568Wrong. You are the one making up points for the sake of your political opinion.
>>23714573I'm saying you're an autistic loser and should post about gunpla instead of crying about shit you saw on facebook or whatever
What am I in for?
>>23714709Don't transform it.

Why would a gundam need to turn into a jet anyway? This backpack is ridiculous. I've seen gundams just hug rocket ships to get around. Just do that.
>>23714735>Why would a gundam need to turn into a jet anyway?It's a product of its time. Robots back then have got to transform into other things so the toys have gimmicks to sell.
>>23714735>Why would a gundam need to turn into a jet anyway?Because its fucking awesome.
>>23714735If it worked once..
>>23714760I think about this guy a lot.
>>23714760I like how the Crossbone Gundam is just inexplicably here.
>>23714836It was being made at the same time, so just a nod like the others.
>Gcucks floppedwhat went wrong?
>>23714922shit story shitter robots
>>23714765Dr Gundam: Or how I learned to stopped worrying and love the Colony Drops
>>23714922What does the sign say?I'd just stick the picture in my translator but the last image I tried to translate was a risqué picture with japanese text so any time I open my translate app I see that little picture of it in the corner and I kinda like it.
>>23714922It says that each customer can only buy one, bro.Also it's new and they likely just stocked up recently. My local shop has a bunch of GQs and SEED Freedom kits filling up the shelves. That's just how things are. A while back it was shelves and shelves of Gwitches.
>>23714922They released the same fucking kit with 5 extra parts 12 months after the first one.Everybody who wanted one already has it
>>23714945>Please do not vent your anger with the staff. We do not work on the anime and most of us did not watch it.
Alright, a hobby shop here just got new stock and i'm gonna have to have chose. RG EPYON or RG SAZABI?
>>23714975Sazabi. I have no clue what either of those models look like. I pick Sazabi purely because there is a Z in the name and I think that is kinda coo.
>>23714975
>>23714988What the fucking kind of gunpla is this
>>23711702Shield done, decals done. There's still the funnels but I haven't quite decide I want to paint it red like the main suit itself or go for a different color like silver/ metal blue to make them stand out.
Here's your new Hathaway kit
>>23715011Holy shit no way
>>23715011thank you jesus
>>23714998(Chinese tts voice) This is an armored core custom. Good work anon.
>>23715000Is this the re100 or hg
>>23715024HG
>>23715011Best news of he decade, clear color is so amazing
>>23715011AAAAAAAAAAAAH FUCK YOU WHOEVER BUYS CLEAR KITS. YOU ARE WORSE THAN SNAPSHITTERS.
>>23715011>clear kit for HGFor what purpose, HG kits don't even have elaborate inner frames.
>>23715029For mouth breathers who obsess over limited edition releases
>>23715029Clear color is something I don't think I'll ever understand. Even for MGs with proper inner frames, they end up not that defined when viewed under the not-really-that-clear kit anyway.
>>23715035I dont understand why they have to tint the plastic anyway for a supposedly "clear" version. polystyrene is colourless by default and we've seen it can look good on kits with innerframes
>>23715035I'd honestly be tempted if they were actually clear and not coloredThere's some cool custom ability that could come from having clear parts, but not when they're all that shitty tricolor
I don't get the appeal of clear color. they're ugly as hell.
Gloss or semi gloss?
>>23715062gloss
>>23715075and for the unarmored black parts in between the armor?
>>23715077flat
are tamiya spray cans worth it?
>>23715157They're good to get into painting. If you only use cans for all of your painting, it'll end up being more expensive than airbrushing past a certain point. Also you can decant them so even if you get an airbrush later the paint inside the cans can still used
>>23715035>Clear color is something I don't think I'll ever understand.It looks good if the robot is actually designed for it
>>23715157Only for your first one or two kits if you're thinking about getting into painting for the first time. If you're going to be serious, then a full airbrushing setup is going to be significantly cheaper.
>>23715170that shit is barely clear
Nothing more evil than clear parts that aren't undergated.
>>23715184You can see the frame underneath it so it's clearYou think clear color looks shitty because your only idea of clear color is game boy color case plastic
>>23715165>>23715172I want to paint my F91 to make it less plain.how do I achieve this color scheme (silver-red-orange) with an airbrush?There's so many variation for one color I don't know which one to buy and how to mix it. or if I need to paint everything white/black first like all the cool youtubers do.
>>23715192>or if I need to paint everything white/black first like all the cool youtubers doThat's called priming and yes you should do that>There's so many variation for one color I don't know which one to buy and how to mix itLook at paint swatches online and get the one that looks like what you wantPaint brand choices will depend on where you live
>>23714709A fun build, probably the most fun you'll ever have building that exact kit.
>>237151921. Get an airbrush2. Get silver-red-orange paint3. Paint the robot with the airbrush in the colors you bought
>>23715192>>23715193You don't need to prime if you're using lacquers (eg mr.hobby Cellulose). They naturally stick to the plastic, letting you skip this step.Just get the paints that most closely resemble what you need, pour it into airbrush with some levelling thinner, mix well and spray away.
>>23715011>still zero Gunpla releases for April and MayWhat the fuck are they going to release for those if HF gets nothing?
>>23715262You don't "need" to but you still should>celluloseHobby lacquers are not nitrocellulose lacquers
>>23711892isn't that every experienced gunpla modeler?
>>23711986Hey, it's me Kassy Lab. Wanna meet for coffee some time?
>>23712007manlets
>>23715269Cope
>>23715267Why don’t they have any releases lined up for their biggest IP and instead are just pumping out 30 minute slop? Are they stupid?
>>23715269no really. you shouldn't even bother with primer. its just wasting paint and your time, unless you need a differently colored base
>>23715292you dont *need* primer for lacquer but acrylic scratches off easily without it and if you spray enamel directly onto bare plastic you are a fucking retard and deserve everything that happens to you
>>23715295Aren’t most hobby lacquers like Mr color and Gaia actually solvent based acrylics? So they would still need primer right?
>>23715299the solvent theyre suspended in is strong enough to partially melt the surface of the plastic so in a way it doesnt need primer but it would be a hell of a lot more durable if you did use it
>>23715299Mr.color has pretty good surface adhesion. You should still use primer because it works even better if you do.
>>23715303Why are paint types so confusing? People say “lacquers” like Mr color and gaia are actually acrylic and “acrylics” like Mr hobby aqueous are actually lacquer.
>>23715307I hate to tell you that aqueous is also acrylic.
>>23715307mr. color and gaia ARE acrylic + lacquer mixed. hope this helps
>>23715309Acrylic in like the colloquial sense or the literal sense? Anons have said that aqueous actually has solvents so it can be considered “lacquer” but that it is just a less intense solvent so it smells less bad. But then if we consider that hobby lacquers are actually just solvent based acrylic, then it is acrylic.
>>23715315It's an alcohol based acrylic. All paints are based on a solvent. Water is a solvent.
>>23713860Well it's the first kit I'm taking seriously.
>>23715316So Mr color, gaia, Mr hobby aqueous, and water based acrylics are all solvent based acrylics.
>>23715313Wtf this means?
>>23715319Technically, yes. They just use different solvents and sometimes swapping the solvent will destroy the paint. They're all based on some sort of acrylic resin.
>>23715321acrylic pigment suspended in lacquer solvent. if it was lacquer pigment (like factory or car paint) you would actually need to wear a full protective suit and not just a little mask
>>23715325So it's not lacquer. The paint is acrylic.
>>23715327Bro said it’s acrylic + lacquer mixed. Hope this helps.
>>23715330Lacquer thinner isn't lacquer. Hope this helps.
>>23715333Mr Color isnt suspended in lacquer thinner you fucking retard. Keep your mouth shut if yoi dont know what the hell you're talking about
>>23715345Lmfao beat his ass
>>23715345It's suspended in acrylic resin.
>>23715354NTA. The pigments and binder (resin) are acrylic but the carrier solvents are strong lacquer-type organic solvents like toulene or xylene.
>>23715357But lacquer is the paint, not the thinner. It's an acrylic paint which has a strong, but common for paint, solvent. It's almost like it's an acrylic paint which was engineered to use common paint thinner.
>>23715262You still prime for lacquers if you are changing colors. You want a common starting point for the color.
>>23715362It’s funny because it’s actually the opposite but no one has pointed it out yet. It’s actually a lacquer paint whose binder happens to be an acrylic resin. Or just an acrylic lacquer. It’s more than just what thinner you can use because the solvents actually dominate the behavior of the paint system. Paints that use different solvents will differ based on solvent strength, curing mechanism, evaporation rate, film formation behavior, and resolubility after drying. The binder doesn’t mean shit.
People should refer to paint based on the solvent (lacuqer/alcohol/water/mineral spirits) instead of the pigment type
What sort of top coats should I avoid if using Mr hobby aqueous paints?
>>23715392None, it's strong enough to take lacquers as long as you don't soak it.
>>23715384The binder is what makes it acrylic paint. It is acrylic paint.In the purest definition, lacquer is a paint which dries purely by the solvent evaporating off and depositing a solid binder. Mr.color does not do that. It has an actual cure time instead of just drying. It has a fluid binder which cures into a solid form.
>>23715394You are actually wrong though.>Mr.color does not do that. It has an actual cure time instead of just dryingMr color doesn’t actually cure, that’s a common misconception. There’s no crosslinking reaction, no hardner, and no irreversible chemical change. What Mr color actually does is that solvent evaporation process you described as behavior of lacquer paint. You can prove this easily if you actually painted. Mr color can be resoftened or redissolved even days later with thinner. It can be remelted into itself. It behaves exactly as lacquers do when recoated. True curing paint like 2k urethane or actual enamels don’t do any of this because they change chemically and permanently when they cure.>It has a fluid binder which cures into a solid form.This isn’t true. The acrylic resin is already a solid polymer that’s dissolved in the solvent. If it were liquid it would not be resoluble
>>23715405I've re-melted lacquer a few months after application when I learned you can remove matt clear coat from clear pieces with isopropyl and a q tip.
>>23715406That's not because it's lacquer. It's because acrylic is soluble by alcohol.
lacquer, acrylic, enamel, who cares? they all taste grea
everything went together well. no fit issues at all, pretty impressed. fuck that base connector though, keeps on tipping backwards. should've made it clip in or something, the crotch just rests there. there always has to be something.
>>23715420This, I sometimes like to pour enamel thinner in my morning coffeee when it's too bitter.
>>23715420This, I sometimes like to pour lacquer thinner in my morning coffeee when it's not bitter enough.
Is dumping gunpla in coffee good for weathering?
>>23715430It can’t be worse than that guy earlier this thread who looked like he dumped his in the toilet
Anyone else have this brain disorder where every time you come up with a cool addition to your build, you end up relaxing and wasting time to procrastinate to bask in your minor accomplishment? I think I'm retarded, do I need more lacquer fumes?
>>23715468Anon you have adhd
mmm..... resin dust...taste v ery good
>>23715468Try something heavily caffeinated to help with the ADHD
>>23715468Yeah I lose all will to continue usually when I actually get the image in my head and mentally finish it. Definitely ADHD for me.
>>23713366I like the one with more tubes
>>23715470>>23715472>>23715487How can I have ADHD... I pay attention a lot to many things.. bros... I'm fucked up
>>23715299 "Solvent-based acrylic" is the technical term for lacquers, as opposed to "water-based acrylic" for acrylics. This does not mean lacquers and acrylics are interchangeable.Also you should use primer either way because it's very quick to do and has nothing but benefits.>>23715307>"acrylics” like Mr hobby aqueous are actually lacquer.Incorrect
>>23715521I was actually lead to believe anything you can thin with lacquer thinner is lacquer.
>>23715557How can you thin it with lacquer thinner if it not lacquer?
>>23715596Exactly. Those solvents only dissolve lacquer and do nothing to anything else.
>>23715598Was this supposed to be sarcastic?
>>23715602No. Those are lacquer solvents and nothing else can be dissolved by them. This makes anything they can dissolve lacquer.
>>23715596You can thin Mr Color Aqueous with their normal MLT. You only can't thin Acrysion with it.
>>23715619Aqueous can be thinned with water and it's lacquer. This makes water a lacquer thinner. Acrysion is just a water based lacquer.
Couple questions as a follow-up to one I asked several threads ago:1. What's the usecase for brown surfacer? I have 1500 surfacer in gray, black and white, and was told that pink surfacer is good for warm colors like flesh and yellow. But what about brown? Does it accomplish something that the others don't? I assume not, otherwise it would exist in 1500.2. Where the fuck do I buy pink surfacer? Everywhere is out of stock.
>>23715557you can thin liquid putty with lacquer thinner. doesnt mean it's lacquer
>>23715652According to the people in this thread it actually does.
Would you say the silver/grey used here is the same shade as the one in the next image?
Mr. Premium flat topcoat.... WHY IS IT ALWAYS OUT OF STOCK?
>>23715682Specifically referring to the light grey/silver areas.
How do I drybrush metallics on flat surfaces?
>>23715698Long strokes with not a lot of paint. You're going to want to build it up very slowly.
>>23715170Ok, that actually does look pretty good.
LUV ME LUV ME
>>23715170Is that a gelgoog?
I suppose if it's an Augusta Jegan it should be using an Augusta beam rifle. Kinda mixed on using this or modifying up the F91 Jegan rifle.Working on a new backpack now. Really like that just flipping the Jegan backpack bits invokes the Mark V's backpack vents, which fits nicely as a development trait of the Augusta labs too. Looking to blend the Nero, ReGZ and Stark Jegan backpack designs together, more or less. I might pick up an HGUC ReGZ to do something really fun with it if I can keep up my progress.
>>23714922GQuuuuuux (and its recolour Fred) is by far the weakest design in its own damn anime. Even objective downgrades from the UC like fat thighs Zaku are still more appealing than it. Worthless kit stays on the shelf.
>>23715307https://www.paintonplastic.com/paintonplasticblog/2020/10/1/what-are-the-best-paints-for-plastic-models
>>23715685>>23715682It looks like the one for Dukemon is a touch darker but that may be the lighting and background making me think that.
>>23715871Retards like you fall for it every time a photo of a freshly stocked shelf gets posted
>>23715890It's annoying since this version of the dukemon fig doesn't have its colors listed anywhere, the manual only shows the regular version's colors and only the gold bits are metal coated so I want to paint the rest.
>bootleg mighty strike freedom>it's nice>also has water decals included>bought for just $12 or soI have never used water decals before.
>>23712832Unicorn is going to be the next after Destiny. don't ask why i know.

>>23715914
>>23715914Of all kits to have clear on, this one makes a bit more sense.
>>23715661Sometimes I'll read a funny post here, chuckle to myself and keep scrolling down. Then I realize that anon was not in fact joking.
Reccomend me some good clearkino
>>23715648Volks USA has the Nazca version of pink surfacer. Its a lot more expensive but the pigment is extremely thick so it'll last you twice as long
>>23715935Future clear
>>23714709Oh so your the guy that bought the last normal one forcing me to get the Titanium finish version.
>try to paint in a bit of color separation by hand on an airbrushed part>never done it before but figure it can't be too hard >blobby and ugly as shit>strip it out and start over>look up how other people do it>do my best to emulate that>take it slow and be as careful as i can so nothing smears or spills or ends up uneven>still blobby and ugly as shit>underlying paint slightly damaged in the process this is so fucking frustrating god dammitwhy does it have to be like this all the time
>>23716036Brush painting is seriously a fucking pain in the ass and infinitely more complicated than airbrushing shit.
>>23715805Conceptualizing backpacks, I think this is pretty close to the form I want
>>23715805i love the way you think man this is so fuckin cool dude. The idea of an augusta gm is sick and the idea of flipping the jegan's backpack fins is so damn good. It really does remind me of the MKV. Will you be giving it a shield booster too?
>>23715935Water
>>23716056Haha, thanks anon, I'm really happy with how it's turning out. I prototyped a shield booster a while ago but I haven't iterated much on it since. I like this idea though, just changing out the missiles for thrusters, though I'll probably use the F91 spec shield. Maybe some propellant tanks in the empty space on the underside. The Jegan shield (like lots of Gundam shields personally) looks way cooler upside down so I'm really fond of finding a way to include this. It's what I imagined it originally used before getting modified with that beam shield later.
>>23716036What kind of paint are you using?
>>23716073Testors enamel
>>23716075How big of an area are you trying to paint
>>23716081About 6mm at the widest part, it's a recessed area but too broad for panel liner
>>23716085is there a reason you don't just take a picture
>>23716088My phone camera is very bad at focusing on small things when I've tried it in the past. Also I post my finished stuff here and don't want my venting and bitching and stupid questions associated with it
>>23716094Sounds like cope
>>23716094if you use a basic backdrop no one will ever know
If your shit's uneven, you might have too much paint on your brush.Wipe the excess off first and go in multiple thin coats.
>>23716072hell yeah dude
>>23716105I would add that one of the easiest brushload control techniques is to dip the brush in thinner first then the paint and mix on the fly by controlling the amount you dipthis helps a lot for shit stuff like testors
I am cleaning up all my spare parts and I found a bunch of zaku 2.0 armor parts, if anyone needs them. I have most of the heat pipes too. Almost none of the skeleton parts.Pic related is why I have them.
>>23716130Based. Ral's Zaku I is so cool.
>>23716134It was a fun project. Working on resin is miserable but I enjoyed it.
>>23716136I've still got the MG in my closet. I'll do something with it one day.
>>23716138If you lose any of the round parts on the heat pipes please post about it. When I did my first zaku I lost like 5 of those shits on the springs,
You kids really like Gundam huh?
>>23716140It's a Zaku I brother, it doesn't come with heat pipes lol
>>23712127I'm not a decals guy, am I still valid?
>>23716143Oh I thought you had the zaku II in the backlog,
>>23716155no but I do have all the 1.0 high mobility Zaku IIs in my backlog too
>>23715904It's easy>soak in water>"slide" it onto the gunplaAnd yeah, it's one of the nice things about chinkpla, even the bootlegs of retail HGs comes with waterslides.
>>23716165Warm water (not hot but warmer than room temp) makes the process easier too
>>23716108Any specific type of thinner?
>>23716177enamel paint needs enamel thinner
think all these styrene sheets will last me forever?
>>23716102If you post WIP photos and a couple days or a week later there are pics of the same finished kit in the thread it's not that hard to put 2+2 together, especially for anything that isn't the newest release>>23716105I definitely did the first time but I'm even getting it on the second go around, when my "brush" on this attempt is literally just a toothpick given a small dip
>>23716213Oh then just own up to it you fag it's an anonymous toepainting usenet group the worst someone's gonna do is call you names
>>23716211will easily disappear when you construct the bow of your 1/144 ra cailum
>>23716213I post retarded questions all the time with my WIP photos. It just makes it more impressive if it comes out good.When I did this sazabi I posted a bunch of color scheme ideas and dumb questions about mark setter and softer. I think it came out pretty good and nobody mentioned the questions.
>>23716234My choice of a blue frame was also controversial. The point I'm making is that it was an enjoyable part of the process to spitball ideas and techniques with randos.
Finally started reading F90 Cluster, and discovered the F80 is supposed to have a beam shotgun. Any weapon packs with such a weapon included that is appropriate scale? It's a short king 1/100.
>>23716260>F80 is supposed to have a beam shotgunIt's actually a giant regular shotgun. It's a ballistic weapon.
>>23716263That was non obvious from the panel I saw, but even more awesome
So how long is bandai going to wait to announce something good kit wise for Hathaway's flash 2? haha...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flKhkYEjlGk
>>23712133Isn't that injection machine model for nips only?
>>23716270What exactly can they even do for a new kit? Anything that will appear in the second movie already has a kit, unless you're hoping for something impossible like MG Xi. I expect the final Hathaway movie in 20XX to be when they'll make new kits for, probably the Argos unit for Odysseus, maybe even the copium of Xi getting a new look cause people hated the face design of the "light novel accurate" Xi
Are they at least doing a reprint of the Xi soon? It's been a while
>>23716354yes>>23715011
>>23716413I meant in non-fag plastic
So, I did my due diligence in researching a model only after it shipped. I have a feeling I'm in way over my head with one of the models I picked up. If I want to git gud with water slides I guess I just pick up a couple sheets and make all my HGs look ridiculous?
>>23716318They can do the novel styled Messer we've already seen. That said they already announced the new Gustav Karl and the Minelayer Messer as kits for this movie, no coincidence the Gustav Karl's releasing soon.
>>23716428Which kit? Also waterslides are much easier than stickers and look better too.
Any anons know a retard-proof way to color the javelin effect? I really don't have any pink shit on hand
>>23716471Either paint with clear paint or recast it in clear, colored resin.
>>23716471Besides clear pink paint? One trick that scale modelers used to do was add some clothing dye to hot water and then dip the clear piece in.
>>23716470The Ikaruga from Kotobukiya.I've done water slides in the past but nothing too complicated. I guess people suggest decal softener and weird cuts with the decal sheet. I'd hate to tear the water slides with the kit so figured I'd get some practice in. There's other stuff with the kit I'm kinda concerned with but that's just something I gotta take slow and steady.
>>23716497Softener is really useful for helping waterslides bend around curves which is great if you're, say, wrapping one around a legSetter I have no fucking idea if it actually matters, I imagine it helps with adhesion but I've never had issues with that anyway because I topcoat it after and I haven't seen any difference between my setter stuff and my water-only stuff
>>23716499Yeah, the big pretty decals on the side are curved and I've never used softener so thats what I wanted to get a feel for. That and it's just been ages since I've used water slides so I just want to warm up some before diving in on the Ikaruga.
>>23716500Have fun bro, they're really nice once you get used to them
Totally not a Gundam, guise.
>>23715193>>23715262Mr Color is the cheapest and most accessible here. I think it's lacquer? is there any specific topcoat or primer that I need to avoid so I don't ruin the paint? I heard type compatibility is a big deal. are pic related safe to use?Also, would it look weird if I don't paint the inner frame? it feels kinda pointless...>>23715683Yeah, it's really hard to find. I use the regular dark blue one and it works just fine.
>>23716354There's a bootleg if you want
Here is proof that gunpla is for children:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZfELFiR-UMpeople here got BTFO!!!!!!!!!
>>23716611What’s with all the mouth breathers buying these chink not-gundams lately? They just think being over detailed makes it good?
>>23716611I see Jesta in the shoulders and ZZ in the legs. Any other gundams that got ripped off with this?
>>23716688>Look ma! I ragebaited these /gpg/ posters! That will show them!Here's your (you).
>>23716318>impossible Xinot for the Chinese apparently.
>>23716753>>23716668Hmm I'd only be tempted by a 1/100 bootleg
>>23716753Good lord that is an awful redesign for Xi.
>>23716753>What if we make the Xi Gundam and throw all of the stuff that makes it appealing?
>>23716753Wow they managed to make the xi look good
>>23716753>those legsDoes the Chinese have their own hajime katoki?
>>23716753The funny thing about this image is that the one on the right would absolutely demolish the one on the left and it wouldn't even be a contest.
>>23716753Chinese don't gotta worry about flooding their local retail stores with gigantic boxes that will shelf warm
>>23716796They don't need to worry about profit at all because their government subsidizes bootlegging
Is the MK II from the HG Super Gundam, the updated one?
>>23716810check dalong
>>23716810No, it's the old HGstill a great kit
>>23716142I don't really mind the gen being gundam focused, can't be helped I guess, but uc wanking has gotten old 15 years ago
>>23716688>GUNPURAHclosed the video immediately
>>23716830>still a great kitLol. Lmao even.
>>23716847Kek fr. How is bro gon act like a 25 year old kit is still great
Chinese Dougram is out apparently
>>23716810>MK IIMost hyped kit btw
>>23716860Finally, Shadow Hawk model kit.
>>23716831We cycle through UC eras being popular.
>>23716847It looks miles better than the revive and has quite good articulation for a kit of it's age. I'd say it's worth it.
>>23716764>makes it appealingThis one is better than the movie Xi. Looks like a proper Gundam while still being unique. I would rather have this.
>>23716895>It looks miles better than the revive>has quite good articulationNeither of these is true.
ZakuAurelius broke my ribs
>>23716903
>>23716903He must have mistaken you for a preorder or caught wind that you bought something somewhere else. It really is your fault.
I've never seen a good looking robot model kit not made in Japan.
>>23716898It's clear you don't even have it, but even then you could have looked it up. Proportions nonwithstanding, the head is the worst offender here.
>>23716722I can't speak for shops outside of the us, but usa gundam store appears to be heavily promoting them. Of the first 14 kits you see on their homepage, 13 of them are these chinese knockoffs.
>>23716929Honestly neither of those look goodIdeally I'd want this but made according to modern quality standards
>>23716903I phoned zak to make an order i'd come pick up, he deducted from my last name that i was koreanWhen i arrived the place was closed, but then he and his usags goons appeared on the roof and started yelling "ching chong wong wong no touch my shop" at meThen a dozen of RC modded ma.k builds with knives taped on them came at me from all sides, i ran for my life
>>23716722Can a kit ever be under-detailed?
>>23716943Head proportions are totally fucked
I don't see any of you fags scratchbuilding your own 1/100 instead of begging Bandai and Chang.
>>23716947the problem with bandai's boxhands is that they're underdetailed
>>23716947Yes there are a few of them that could benefit from a small amount of extra detail that they're lacking. They end up looking like 80s toys as much as the actual 80s toys sometimes.
>>23716952>They end up looking like 80s toysIs that supposed to be a negative?
>>23716955Yeah. Bandai/friends purposely redesigned the Gundam with the MK II so that it didn't look like an 80s toy but more like a war machine/robot.
>>23716861LMFAO
>>2371696080s toy is kino
>>23716960this doesn't look like an 80s toy
>>23716963Not really.
>>23716972more sovlful than any bandai release in the past 10 years
>>23716933That's because they're big, have lots of parts, are detailed, and the ROI is really good on them for storefronts since they're cheap.
>>23716972>>23716969>>23716943These all look horrible.
>>23716977It's the same robot on all 3 pictures
>>23716985One of those is a transformer
>>23716992idk, looks like a megazord to me
>>23711529>live 30 min away from the only gundam-brand gundam store in the countryIs it worth checking out the gundam base store? I usually build scale model airplanes and such, but my nephew is going to be with me for a few weeks and likes gundam. I thought I'd build something with him, but idk anything about gundam models. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, I'm not a regular on this board.
>>23717023Ask the workers about in store exclusives and explain your situation. They should be willing to help. I had a similar situation with a lego store I visited on a vacation since I don't know shit about legos.
>>23717023>>23717026If sub-teens, consider something they recommend in the HG line. If they are early teens or are a smart 10+ year old, maybe a MG if you are going to spend more time on it.If they are like 8, get an EG as they won't even need tools.
>Bandai normalising details within the armor parts.It's over for us, the greeble enjoyers have won.
>>23717038This is great. It's easier to putty over vs scribing new.
>>23717038Just put some putty in there if you don't like it.
>>23717023>is the Gunpla thread the right place to ask about Gunpla?I mean, yeah, you're in exactly the right place.In any case, Gundam Base specializes in exclusives, but they should also have regular retail stuff. I don't know what kinds of exclusives the one in Chicago carries, and how their prices are in the midst of inflation, price hikes and tariffs, but it's probably still going to be cheaper than buying from the online store.If you want to get something more mundane to cut your teeth on, find a Hobby Lobby and go to their models section, right now should be their 40% off boxed kits week so you should be able to snag something for pretty cheap (don't know if they're open on MLK). Hobby Lobby is still the cheapest way to get Gunpla in the US, even with price hikes and the like. Stuff that you find at the Gundam Base will be more special by comparison, so honestly that might be something you want to build more carefully and not something you'd want to try as a first-timer. That being said, your nephew will definitely enjoy himself no matter what his building skill level.
>>23717041I do not like sanding putty.
i'm still scared of puttyit's toxic
>>23717038>PGU greebled to shit and backwow, water is wet
>>23717029>>23717026He's 11, so he'll be fine with whichever one he picks. I've got tons of experience on complex model kits, and if he needs help I be working on a gundam kit at the table too. Was mostly wondering if going to the official store would be fun for him vs just buying them online. Like, do they have good stock and stuff for him to look at, or is it just kind of a place for them to hype limited edition stuff?
>>23717038Are you really complaining about inner frame detailing?
>>23717059Not sure as I haven't made it to the Chicago store. I buy most kits online, outside of some minor browsing at Hobby Lobby on sale week, or the local model store I buy stuff at to keep it in business. HL is always a dice roll on their stock as they don't list the Gundam stock online as it's basically randomly distributed to locations when they have space.As for the age thing, MGs are a full internal frame (usually) and have significantly more pieces and have some smaller pieces despite being a larger scale. Keep that in mind when picking as that would determine how long it will end up taking. Experienced builders can snap an average HG in 2-3 hours (with cleaning nubs and panel lining) while doing a similar job on an MG would be like 4-8 (varies a bit more as they often have more accessories).
>>23717052I didn't expect to learn so much about hazardous chemicals and proper procedures of handling them when got into fucking toy robots.
>>23717067>greeble, china:(>greeble, japan:)
>>23717073IT'S INNER FUCKING FRAME
>>23717072Be honest. At least one person in here has taken a whiff of resin dust because they forgot to wet sand
>>23717059All the Gundam Base stores have display setups If he's actually interested in model kits at his age he'll probably be over the moon, I know I would
>>23717059The Gundam base in Chi-town seems pretty sick after watching some tours on YouTube. It has rare kits that were previously japan only and you can't find anywhere else, plus lots of displays of fully finished kits plus some painted builds. Depending on how crazy he is about Gundam he could definitely have lots of fun in there
>>23717079I don't suffer from weak bitch genes so it is hardly a problem
>>23717080i want to lateral roundhouse kick this so much
>>23717080>>23717081Cool, thanks anons.
hobby news are canceled
>>23717094
>>23716946#Survivor
>>23716946I would have done the same thing in his situation
>>23717101>he complained.
>>23717080Now that I think about it. ZZ still doesn't have a PG kit.
>>23717138Or more importantly, an RG
>>23716947Yes. The hygogg is very dated, it needs a modern update with more/ better color/part separation.
>>23717151>>23717138Wood anybody actually get one? Normies didn’t even watch ZZ.
>>23717153I would and I'm a normie that didn't watch ZZ because it isn't dubbed.
>>23716947No. If a kit is under detailed, just add your own. As a modeler should.
>>23717158Isn’t the story that they had a dub made but never released it for some reason and now it’s lost media? Why did they do that, are they stupid?
Girlpla has invaded Hobby Lobby
>>23717175You in Clombus? That looks real familiar
>>23717178No, but Midwest.I bought her. God damn she's flat
>>23717175Girlpla? In my Christian hobby shop?
>>23717175Oh my god. What part of the midwest is this? I'm excited that it may come to my corner of ohio.
What am I in for?Also what's the best way to deal with nubs on a special finish kit? Double cut and only sand if it's not visible?
>>23717208>Also what's the best way to deal with nubs on a special finish kit?
>>23717211Lmfao anon is cooked
>>23717211>>23717214Yeah figured. Hopefully they blend in a bit after the gloss coat over the decals. Although I have to double check that works also.
>>23717218If you find a similar paint you can touch the spots with it, then blend it with a wet q tip once it dries a bit
>>23717218Get one of the metallic gundam markers to color in the nub.
>>23717220>>23717223I don't think they go this shiny, but I'll give it a shot as those are easy to clean off.
>>23717220Not him but thanks for that tip, I'm working on another kit with some parts having a special finish.
>>23717220>once it dries a bithow soonish?
>>23717235Soon™
>>23717235Once it's dry to the touch but before it's fully cured. You can work at the edges to blend it.
>>23717249How should I go about blending it?
>>23717250Gentle strokes with a wet Q tip. The goal is to just rub off a little bit at a time.
>>23717252What do you wet it with?
>>23717275Water. It's just to act as lubricant since Q tips are actually way more abrasive than you want.
>>23717175My Hobby Lobby in the middle of bumfuck rural nowhere had the HG Victory 2 Assault Buster, the RX-78 NT-1, and the Nobell Berserker Mode which kinda shocked me
All my hobby shop has is armored core, I really should play the post PS2 entries.
>>23717208Very noticeable nub marks.
Is there a difference between Tamiya Accent Color and these?
>>23717311Why do ppl buy that slop then?
>>23717314It's kind of a scam and they don't realize it.
>>23717314Because they don't care about it that much and like how the plating looks
what's the easiest way to deal with snapped pegsthe parts are already painted so i'm scared to fuck with it
>>23717320drill holes, put a brass rod in, cementjust cement worked for me in the past if i'm careful afterwards
>>23717175Darilbalde is the only good kit there.
>>23717334>the woke from mercury>good
>>23717344thank you for the input pablo
>>23717310Armored Core is amazing and playing the games will definitely help you appreciate the designs on a different level. Especially if youre willing to recreate your in-game custom.
>>23717349I'm the thread mexican and I liked witch from mercury.
>Browsing models in the categories I haven't paid much attention to>Girlpla with a giant lance>Lance is in the right handFug. Anyone have a few Megami Device girls? Can you swap the weapons to either side or are they all pretty much build just the one way?
>>23717353All the hands they come with come in pairs
>>23717353What, are you a Southpaw or something? Why does it have to be left handed?i'm not trying to be a jerk. Genuinely curious.
it would have been more accurate to call him the Salmon Comet when you think about it
>>23717355Maybe I can do it then. The lance attaches to a backpack. So I think you'd have to build the lance different to use it. Shit. Maybe I'll just go for it anyway. Big lance is the best part anyway.>>23717360Naw, I'm not a witch. I just like lefty lances because Hunters are all left handed and I always thought it was interesting. There is just something about left handed big weapons that stand out and seem more.. whatever. Striking, I guess.
>>23717352What did you like about it?
>>23717314Because it looks nice.Because most people snap build.Because if you're cutting with a single blade nipper the nubs aren't that noticeable unless you're scrutinizing up close. I've bought a couple of special coating/ titanium finish, they have a certain shine/ shading to it that I don't quite know how to replicate with the usual painting/ topcoat. Most of the nubs are also undergated.
>>23717352>theNah I'm mexican too and there's probably a few others
>>23717372>Hunters are all left handedShut up. No they ar--Oh shit. OH SHIT.
>>23717352I'm New Mexican if that counts. I'm white but I like spicy food like tortillas and stuff.
>>23717378Gross. I have to find somewhere else to post then.
>>23717377When they do coating for the run of the mill retail kits most of the nubs are in fact not underrated
One half looks mostly smooth even if the other one is still kind shitty mess. I still feel like this is awful but it shouldn't be as bad from a distance and I don't think I can do any better.It's better to wait for it to dry before cleaning the smears/excess off, right? Made the mistake of putting a tiny dab of thinner on my brush and everything I touched ran like water until I dried it on a napkin.
>>23717314Wanted to try a special coating once, and I missed the normal version on P Bandai 3 times and the V2 is one of my favorite Gundams.
>>23717393nobody will miss your snapshits
>>23717412I will
>>23717412I promise you that I paint more than you do.
>>23717175this is just as monumental as when the Catholic Church announced Luce
>>23717438I jerked off to her
>>23717462Wait what?
>>23717429you absolutely do not. hurry up and leave already
>>23717462Well that came outta nowhere
>>23717462OH MY GOD BANDAI YOU CAN FUCK MY BITCH BANDAI
>>23717462Yeah, I'm not believing this until I see an actual press release.
>>23717478I do. I really do.
Oh shit, it is real https://x.com/HobbySite/status/2013462807103316317
>>23717494Real grade patlabor is crazy
>>23717462>>23717491Oh I see, there's a new Patlabor anime coming out.
>>23717491I forgot to post the link lolhttps://x.com/i/status/2013462807103316317
>>23717462I CAN'T WAIT FOR CHANG TO UPSCALE IT TO 1/100
>>23717462Bless the leaks. MGEX Astray soon.
>>23717503oh fucking kill me
>>23717462Oh fuck yes
>>23717462this implies the MG zock leak is true too
>>23717462"Anyone could guess half of these" leak doubters in complete and utter shambles. lets keep it up with the leaked releases!I should get a moderoid 1/60 patlabor kit before the well dries up.
>>23717499>>23717494>>23717462Very nice, definitely gonna get it.
>>23717515What else was in this leak?
Can someone post the leak predictions again thanks
Dare I hope for a Big O next?
>>23717462>this was on the leaks.holy shit!
>>23717523the Union Flag was already released, but we'll probably see the new 00 kits next year to coincide with 00's 20th anniversary.
>>23717523I don't remember any MG Lupus Rex.Not from Bandai anyway.
>>23717462>>23717523>The most random out of nowhere leak is confirmed to be trueI am feeling vindicated that more and more of the entries in the leak has been accurate and confirmed. This means there's a good chance we will actually get a MG MP Nu Gundam.
>>23717536the guess was Lupus Rex, but the actual release was the regular Lupus, so it kinda counts.
>>23717536I think it's inevitable after lupus
where's my RG Zock
>>23717523What would be the MGEX Red Frame's "extreme point" gimmick?
>>23717523Knowing that the new MG Red Frame is not the actual Red Frame but a MP version similar to the Nu MP Type, a MGEX Red Frame is actually a lot more believable now. Especially with the RG Ingram being confirmed.
>>23717523HG Union Flag is all but confirmed due to the way they named the runners for the HG GN Flag.And it wouldn't make much sense to revive the Flags but not the S1 Gundams, so they will most likely happen too.
>>23717462basedwill it be better than the Moderoid?
>>23717523I'd rather have RG DX than RG X, to be honest.
>>23717523you can check off the Flag
>>23717557it's going to be the ugly greebled up EZY design so no
>>23717550They could be lazy and make it be 10 variations or red for the red parts like the Extreme Freedom's gold.>>23717523Kinda hoping that Mg Bael is actually Flauros, since it won that poll for the next IBO MG.
>>23717550real shape metal for the katana, MADE IN JAPAN
>>23717502A 1/100 Ingram would be downscaling
>>23717550Extreme slop. The point is it’s a little “extreme” that we already have like 10 seedslop astrays and they’re shoving more down our throats.
>>23717550same as the HIRM: articulation that emulates human muscle, though i dunno what's going to be different this time
Imagine all the cool shit they could make if the MG slots weren’t spent on SEED. At least GODtoki is still carrying the torch for UC.
>>23716165>>23716166thanksoverall i think HG chinkpla are so good, of course there will be quality issues, but i have been fixing loose joints with masking tape anyway.
>>23717581Nu MP Type is part of the leaks so at least one slot is going to UC. I just hope it comes with both the Incoms and the Fin Funnels since the backpack remains unchanged between the two for the most part and that it is a brand new mold and designed by the guy who did the RG so that later down the line we get a new MG Nu which could lead to the Full Armor Nu Gundam (which is different from the HWS Nu)
You know what fuck it I don't need a ReGZ I'll make my own BWS with minovsky craft and hookers
>>23717558P-bandai most likely including X-Divider
>>23717604It's honestly kinda crazy how well this all wraps together in the part details. I don't know if I want to use the Silver Bullet bits for this but damn do they tie it in with Augusta and look cool. Would probably look cooler with a little more spacing between them but I'll try some other nosecones.
>>23717610This is another promising candidate. I could combine them maybe.
find out thunderbolt endedthere was an actual thunderbolt gundamits total ASSthis will never release, never skip legday bros
>>23717617Getting a little carried away here, eh buddy? pretty cool though
>>23716014Not made anymore
>>23717629The Zeong head is a fun gimmick at least
New thread>>23717748>>23717748>>23717748
>>23717629looks kinda like if ZZ gundam was in gquuux
>>23717629this will never release because it's fuckhuge and bandai hardly does things like that anymore
fuck off retard
Thanks for your service.
>>23718612Fuck off and get banned, spammer.
>>23718612We know it's you, samefag.
>>23720468We who, drool? The voices in your head?
