>>23734485Working on MG Scirocc-O
Why don't we get 1/220 kits anymore?
What was that 3rd party company that makes model kit versions of Metal Build figures?
>>23734485Just doing some panel lining and putting off the Ikaruga build.
>>23734497We get artifacts and minis instead now.
Bandai really hates everything from 00 that are not the CB suits, huh? Shame I like this one.
>>23734518
I hope we get a new HGUC Nu with this
the penelope is an ugly bastard but this guy is kinda cool looking
>>23734518Color me impressed. Didn't expect this bayformers-type mess of shapes to get an HG.Is it safe to assume that, much like with Odysseus, we won't get a separate MP Nu without FFU?
>>23734534Probably a P-Bandai release with its regular backpack.
oh it comes with the gundam face already
>>23734529honestly dig the original face more
>>23734518so im gonna assume that a bare HG MP Nu Gundam will be P-Bandai
>>23734539so the third movie HG Xi Gundam will finally be the blue chest version
https://www.youtube.com/live/PDSje8HGAW8https://www.youtube.com/live/PDSje8HGAW8https://www.youtube.com/live/PDSje8HGAW8Heres the stream
>>23734534We already have Bayformer-esque HGs. But i guess RFV is just so forgettable.
>New version of Gou Ignited before Saviour or GaiaSo this is the power... of TM Revolution...
Surely they'll announce anything for X.... right?
Moriki Messer will get a kit too.
>>23734558lmao
Fuck that blocky piece of shit. Give me RG Masurao.
>>23734558They do
Leopard Destroy is gonna be P-Bandai like Airmaster Burst was.
>>23734560Xchads keep winning.TurnAkeks get the shaft.
>>23734562>>2373456400bros.....the Flag Custom... Ahead Sakikage... Masurao... Brave...
Now that's completely out of nowhere
bell pepper fans eating good
LOL you know they did that to try and combat the chink release
>>23734569Endearingly ugly
>Khsatriya before the UnicornWhat timeline is this?
>>23734562finally after putting the Leopard mold in a limbo a decade ago that presentation is giving me bad vibes. it's looking like it's going to be a p-bandai release!
>>23734568kek Osiris Dominator still mogs it
Last minute secret RG announcement onegai
RG MASURAO AHHHHHHH JUST ANNOUNCE IT
So it's safe to say that the next Hobby Show Item Info will just be a recap of these announcements.
Where does the nurnies end and the robot start? Jesus...
>>23734579shit looks like it belongs to Armored Core
>>23734581It looks like those airfighters from Ikaruga.
>>23734518>>23734523>>23734524>>23734526I cannot wait to make a novel Penelope with one of these>>23734529Damaged form is pretty cool>>23734554Hell yeah, I wish it was an MG but any GOUF Ignited is based>>23734559Fuck yeah Novel Messer>>23734562HOLY GIGA BASED
>>23734568You wanted Kshatria MG by bandai? Well here's your MG bro. lmao
>>23734523>>23734524Retail. Fuckin' retail! I thought this guy is 100% gonna be P-Bandai because it's a pair of remolds. Consider this a draw, Bandai. Now I have something I want to get among the Hathaway's Flash stuff.>>23734562>>23734564Well worth 30 years of waiting. We get the Leopard in August, but at the same time, they will announce the Leopard Destroy as P-Bandai next week so that those enthusiasts will get both flavors. Though my only real concern is that this guy will be more advanced than his brothers (and there's still the pair of RG GX+Divider Option and DX to be concerned about, on top of how we could even get a new G-Falcon because the Limited Model version is impossible to find at present).
>>23734587Airmaster was a pretty solid HG, but yeah it's going to be a lot nicer than it or GX/Div/DX.
>>23734584cringe>>23734587>RG GX+Divider Option and DXlollmao
>>23734546the MP Nu was mentioned in the leaks but i forgot which scale. it will probably get an MG as a new Ver Ka. similar to how the Narrative Ver Ka was released (HG debuted as a mobile armor)
>>23734590cope and seethe over my plastic toys getting announced that I want
>>23734587I hope we get kits for Ashtaron/Virsago duo next. Have been a big fan of these guys.
>>23734594Brother, we will get the GX at the end of the year. Divider option parts will be P-Bandai, much like the Akatsuki's Shiranui Pack. And to top it off, I honestly want to say, the RG will give the Under the Moonlight Rick Aller Custom its worth because of the limited issues the HG had.
Can you hear it? Yeah, TurnAkeks are crying.
>>23734568If MGSD has a million haters I'm one of themIf MGSD has 5 haters I'm one of themIf MGSD has 1 hater that one is meIf MGSD has no haters I'm no longer aliveIf the world is against MGSD I support the entire worldIf the world supports MGSD I am against the entire worldTill my last breath I'll hate MGSD
it really bothers me that in the official art it has gold pistons and not silver
>>23734596It has driven me crazy forever Ashtaron didn't make the 1/100 lineup back whenHGAW Ashtaron and Virsago would hit right, and I am greedy enough to ask for a Hermit Crab too
>>23734600Silver price crashed, so Bandai did what they do best.
>>23734534it will probably be an MG Ver Ka in a fsw years
>>23734601You know the most ballsy kind of move? Release Virsago and Chest Break as one single kit you can change its chest with, especially because the Virsago kit had once been converted to the Chest Break with shared parts. The Ashtaron is gonna be difficult because the Ashtaron Hermit Crab is a complete overhaul with 50% of the original being left over.
>>23734562The only announcement I'm excited for.>>23734596I'm now hopeful we'll get these down tge line.
>>23734608Chest Break changes a little more than just the torso. It's got some different feet, skirts and head too
>>23734546Hopefully with the Incom and Fin Funnel backpacks
This quiz part is supposedly the last corner.Doesn't seem like there will be any more announcements.
>>23734620RG Wing is quite recently, too and Bandai has been extremely lazy with this line. But we will see.
>>23734579HG or figure?
cant wait to break those joints and fix them with my mr cement sphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9-r4h_zD2g
>>23734539wait a minute. that's just the Nu face transplanted on the Xi's head!
>>23734568>>23734586Of all the mobile suits, why that? That’s so fucking random it’s not even funny
>>23734625A giant HG. 25cm tall.
>>23734629Bandai's probably aware of the MG kshatriya demand, but insteas of giving the fans what they want, they decided to flip the bird by releasing this
>>23734628It really isn't
>>23734632>MG kshatriyatoo big for my shelf >MGSDThanks Bandai your so considerate
>>23734634Nu has 3 vents. So, Xi's new Gundam face reverted to the traditional, RX-78-2-style, lead Gundam face. And again, there's still no Funnel Missile parts included. Those are still exclusive onto that HGUC Xi Vs Penelope special set.
>>23734628The single most iconic thing of Nu's face are its triple vents you stupid shitposter
>>23734610Still grounds to release the Virsago and Chest Break as one single kit with the chest being the only major change. Missed out on the head, though. Now, the Ashtaron is gonna have a massive mod job in the form of an entirely new backpack (the claws that are part of the backpack already are different, on top of adding the optional Satellite Launcher), feet, skirts, and probably forearm and ankle armor parts.
>>23734581Shut the fuck up.
I bet 90% of people buy Alyzeus just for this guy.
>>23734655It'll just get a standalone release later, you'd have to be a retard to pay 13200 yen for an MP Nu.
>>23734657This is retail. Your hypothetical standalone release might be Pbandai or some location exclusive Side F. You are a retard if you are willing to shill for that shit in the current year.
>>23734655I'll just wait for the MG, this seems to be a similar case to the Narrative Gundam where its first HG kit was in its MA mode or whatever and down the line we get its MG kit.
>>23734655is this a new mold or just a modified EG mold?because HG Nu definitely needs an update and EG is really just not cutting it
As I work on the marker-painted zabol I decide markers are good for small details and nothing elsethese things can't do any surface larger than maybe half a centimeterI might just strip it and break out the airbrush
>>23734660You are a retard fearing something that hasn't happened and trying to spend 13k yen on an HG.You will buy a scalped PB HG for cheaper.You should stop posting forever.
>>23734657>inb4 base Nu Gundam MP will be P-Bandai
>>23734655Jokes on you, I love mclargehuge armor pack.
>>23734655There will be at least 4 P bandai variants of MP Nu now that the base mold exists.Good luck getting any though.
>>23734664Seems like a completely nu mold
>>23734677>China get their hands on MP Nu>GM Spartan 2 bootleg boogaloo China has been generous.
>>23734664Brand new mold.
>>23734668>Please please buy this Piss Bandai product that doesn't exist yet!You subhumans are so pathetic. >trying to spend 13k yen on an HGImagine spending money on plastic toys to begin with.
>>23734682The best HGUC for Nu is a lesser version of Nu. What a time to be alive.
>>23734539I expected them to milk two kits out of Xi's mold. But to think they're going to do it three times is impressive!
>>23734568MGSD finally has kino
wasn't there a leak that said there would be an MG MP Nu? Was this just disguised as that
>>23734664The EG brand might sound like a downgrade but EG Nu is objectively better than the HGUC one, especially with how it has KPS joints now instead of polycaps. The backpack is retail too, so it is nolonger an issue.
>>23734568>7700 yen>will be 13000 yen in my contry
>>23734702I don't see that happening. Unless MP Nu gets to be its own thing instead of being a dummy for Alyzeus then Bandai might have an excuse to release a Ver Ka for it.
>HWS skirtI feel Bandai really wants to make a new HG for the actual Nu.
>>23734518>>23734523>>23734526>>23734559Didn't really expect Bandai to actually make these kits. At best they were going to take decades before they even consider releasing these.
>>23734712
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9-r4h_zD2gIt's fokken huge man.
>>23734722Nah, now THIS is unexpected.
>>23734732Not really. Bandai made MG Patlabor in the past.
>>23734731Someone is AC fan
>>23734568LolLmao
>>23734485I finished these artifact zakus. I have never done minis so this was very unique. They're 5cm tall.
>>23734754Here's the third one I did.
>>23734754This can be salvaged with matte coat
>>23734754pretty decent, but you gotta thin your paints.
>>23734756I haven't put a coat on it yet but I'll do a matte.>>23734758I don't know how mini painters do it. I did thin my paints but it ended up taking an insane amounts of layers for any color to build up. The end result turned into this.
>I was right about a new HG Xi coming out due to lack or reprintsAlso very excited at the MP Nu+FF HG also. I wonder if they are going to do a combo set again?
>>23734763I can't recommend a wet palette enough, it's wahams, but Mr Two Thin Coat's video is relevant: https://youtu.be/28DbD9JwQCI?si=mA9lEarsmXP4PjJ3
Mini painting, eh.
>>23734763Might be because of the paints you were using. 2-3 thin coats is normal.>>23734777>I REALLY shouldn't stick my penis in there. However...
If they make RG Nu Gundam MP, they just only make new armor mold and the innerframe still the same, right? Same thing with MG, right?
>>23734776Really? I've had a wet palette sitting in my drawer for the better part of a year now. I haven't wanted to bother with it because the inconvenience and the fact the paper is consumable.
It really depends how far they want to go. Sinanju Stein got a handful of new frame parts even though they didn't really have to do that.
>>23734785Consumable, sure, but easy and cheap to replace all you need is some greaseproof paper, stuff without a coating, and the paint will also last longer, between multiple sessions infact.
>>23734763You should learn how to shade to shake off that blob-ness.
>>23734704HG still has better proportions
>>23734518I wasn't expecting an ugly chicken to be the epitome of release for the new movie.
>>23734813they have to introduce new model kits for the new movie
>>23734655I kinda just want that one, I'm not a fan of big armors and shit.
>>23734754Did you dip them into the jars directly?
>>23734627Absolute cluster fuck. And I like china man kits
i will now thicken my paints with cornstarch
>>23734702pretty good chance it gets a Ver Ka considering the trend of Narrative Gundam's releases.
>>23734655Yeahme
>>23734732I just want a RG Master Gundam bros, I want to pair it up with the RG God in fighting poses.
>Nu MP kit will release in retail but it's the movie version >soon Bandai releasing Nu MP kit that based from MSV with INCOM backpack in P-Bandai
>>23734627I can't take this presenter seriously after the pgu nu showcaseHis mere presence makes me anticipate that the product is gonna goof on vid
>>23734568The MGSD line has been tailored to specifically appeal to me and I love it.
i was under the impression they were going to do a master grade mass production nu.
IT'S BEEN TWO MOVIES ALREADY AND NOT A SINGLE MG. WTF BANDAI.
>>23734841They are but which version, Hathaway or MSV?
MGSD kshatriya is a smart move
>>23734850lol
>>23734850They waiting for the third movie to release MG
>>23734850Chang Will deliver
>>23734850Bandai's not interested in anything larger than 1/144 if they can't sell it for PG prices.
>>23734568But whyIt is as of they acknowledge chang did wat they Will never be able to
>>23734859They obviously aimed for a RE100 release but that would make people clown on them even harder.
>>23734579it's so retarded but I love it
>>23734859if they made an mg they'd have to go above and beyond to not ridicule themselves with the comparison, it's just not worth the risk with the engineering involvedplus everyone who wanted a big bellpepper already bought the osiris which is bound to be better valuegoing with the fresh popular line is a safe bet that avoids competition while still acknowledging demand kinda
I'm actually interested in MGSD Kshatriya bootleg version in the near future. 7700 yen default price is too much. MGEX Kshatriya is way too big.
>>23734485Thank you for contributing. Does anyone else have anything further they could contribute to my silly plamo folder?
>>23734568First SD I might buy.
Mmm...Worcestershire Sauce...
me when I paint my kit in tan and brown to look like ground type but it just looks like a fucking noctua fan
>>23734859Look at the PGU Nu. Bandai is entirely incompetent now.
>>23734859I assume they started working on it before chink kshat was even a thing. These things take time.
Wait are they really making an entire new Xi kit just for a new face, rifle, and shield? Is there a decent comparison image between the faces?
I like the decision for the MP Nu to be included in Hathaway's Flash (besides Gunpla sales) is that it was to give Hathaway PTSD of CCA, seeing the "Nu Gundam" again
>>23734890What's wrong with the PGU Nu?
>>23734904Yeah. And in five or so years, they'll add the tail binder too :)
>>23734908I mean it's still retarded but at least the tail binder is "substantial."They have option sets for Barbatos that are basically the exact same as this.
>>23734907They can't afford it because chang doesn't pay them enough for the shilling
>>23734907it looks too Chinese
RG Zock
>>23734911>911Fitting digits. But, yeah. It's silly, but anyone with half a mind for how Bandai works knew it was coming. Gotta sell plamo somehow.
>>23734908It is just a giant block hanging from its ass
>>23734912>Can't afford itSorry, I spent the money for the PGU Nu on dual tube night vision instead.
>>23734907Ever played with those HG IBO? PGU Nu feels like that. 800 dollars btw.
>>23734920(ver. gqux)
>>23734927How did you already get your PGU Nu? Do you live in Japan?
>>23734927I'm sure you've handled a PGU nu in person no one would make up anecdotal claims on the internet...it's still ugly as sin, floppy or not
>>23734926That's probably a better way to spend your money if you're actually gonna use it. Nothing is worse than people who buy night vision and never use it.
>>23734562I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG.NOW WE ONLY NEED A VIRSAGO
>>23734562>>23734564Wasn't there literally a Build version of this that they made ten years ago? I guess this is the 30th anniversary release.>>23734655And a Chinese bootleg will hit the markets specifically for them.
Look mom I posted it again

>>23734850So I wonder if the chinese are going to be reprinting their 1/100 Xi.
>>23734995oh yeah, the gundoom was it?
>>23734995I look like this IRL
the sd uses the og design too
>couldn't resist buying an out of print kit from Ali with obscene markup>there were a couple extra weapons already assembled tossed inUhh thanks I guess but I'd rather have a discount.I'm not even sure if the guns are from the same line as the kit itself.
>>23735030if you want to avoid extras and freebies order from USAGS
>>23735030pics?
>>23735030Qrd on buying kits from ali? Do you just sort by most sales when searching?
>>23735030Those were probably for someone elses order. That person is gonna be pissed.
>>23735046Ordering from there is always a gamble. The only way to avoid the total shit sellers is not to buy from where that has under a 4.5/4.6 rating. Most of the reviews are botted so if you somehow manage to get under a 4.5 rating then it means they're total dogshit. Regardless of who you buy from, it's also a gamble if the box enters the royal rumble and eats 15 top rope elbows or not.
>>237350461. Search for the kit you want. It might take a few tries since most of the sellers are Chinese and they toss all sorts of keywords in to maximize exposure. Bootlegs also obviously have to use various pseudonyms because they don't want to advertise themselves as official products.2. Once you find what you want, scroll down to the "Related Items" sub-section to see if another seller is selling the same thing but cheaper. It's a decent way to check for competitors if they don't show up in your initial search.3. Find a seller you would trust, generally by large number of good ratings, check under the price to see if it includes import charges (i.e. tariffs), and check to see if shipping is covered in the cost. Generally you want to aim for the one that has the lowest combination of advertised price and shipping, but sometimes you won't have a choice.I don't know if I've just been lucky, but I've never had an Ali buy go wrong that wasn't my fault (put in the wrong shipping address). But then again, I go in anticipating that things can and will go wrong, and with the knowledge that my money may full well be completely wasted. So, I mainly stick to buying small stuff and accessories that won't be a big deal if it ends up going south.
>>23735064seconding on ali generally being pretty good. the worst that happened to me was once the seller just never shipped the kit and I was refunded automatically within the day, so no big deal.
>>23734873Stripper Shining count?
stop persuading losers to use aliwe need to start gatekeeping it
>>23735064Do you know how the chinks print the kits? Do they directly reproduce bandai part designs and runner layouts?
>>23734873would you take grandaddy pulling tricks on a zeta?
>>23735089>LMAO GET ROTATED SKRUB!
>>23735046They seem too big, smooth and blue to match other weapons from 3rd gen kits.
>>23734569this and the MP Nu are what I'm most excited for
>>23734485Snapped this Jim, mising a piece for another gun and one of the sabers broke so I used it as laser beam shooting out of the OG gun. Might try to fuse the incomplete gun with another broken one I got to create a functional one
>>23734986you posted this bait already you fucking troglodyte
>>23735081From what I can tell, they take the original kit, reverse-engineer how Bandai made them (probably use 3D scanners and such), and make their own molds where the parts are 95% similar but with new layouts. But since they don't have Bandai's know-how, their kits end up being inferior with fitting issues, flash, and all that jazz. The way I think about it, you're paying around 50-60% of the cost for a kit that's about 80% of the quality, so as long as you're okay with doing your own fixing up afterward, you'll probably end up with something that's about 90-95% as good as the real thing.That being said, I stick mainly to buying aftermarket parts rather than full-on bootlegs unless it's something that's just absolutely not available or stupidly overpriced (MG Jesta Cannon, HG Moon Gundam, RE/100 Gundam Mk-III). The aftermarket stuff is usually done by people who have better engineering know-how since they're fixing existing problems with the Bandai kits (things like metal shoulder parts, improved joints, etc.).
>>23735102and yet you and all the other retards still replywe deserve this shit
>>23734518>>23734523the missile hatches on this thing look fucking AI generated
>PGU Unleashed Nu Gundam has a Destroy Mode transformation gimmick.
>>23735107That's not how you do the meme. You're supposed to post a picture of Nu and say it's undergoing a psychoframe transformation.
>>23735046Finding the correct item can be annoying sometimes due to keywords gore. They slap "Bandai" on literally everything.Sometimes the specific kit you're looking for might be hidden as a variant of a more generic listing for that line.So be ready to juggle both ultra specific search term like exact name of the model and generic ones like "Gundam 1/144 HG".Ideally seller should have the score around 90%+ and plenty of sales. If it's below 80 you might want to check other listings to see what's the problem, maybe it's just some retards dropping 1s for cancelled orders or scratched boxes.Having review with pics for your particular item or others from the same series is obviously a big reassurance too but if none available you get the general picture of whether the seller is legit from their other items' reviews.
damn anime girl shitposterscorrection is needed
I'm taking up MMA
>>23734995the Tallgeese is having a psycoframe transformaton!!
Still learning how to airbrush. Second kit I’m painting with it. Been using acrylics but they keep chipping. Would it be better to top coat each individual part? I may be moving onto enamels but I need to research more. It’s been really fun, with rattle cans I just prime and spray but with the airbrush I need to thin the paint, get the right PSI, keep the airbrush clean.
>>23734869I am gonna both them together as a reminder their msrp is only like 20 USD apart.
>>23735149That's the Koto Mazinkaiser kit, right?
>>23735152Yes! It looks so good but the seamlines are very thick even when I push as hard as I can there is still a noticeable gap. And it’s very expensive for what you get. It’s mostly abs so my usual plastic cement was not working too well. When I was putting everything together the seams broke open.
>>23734485I remember why I rarely touch mecha pla and build exclusively tanks+aircraft, having to deal with hollow areas is the fucking worst.
>>23735149Beautiful Hand.
>>23735149>Been using acrylics but they keep chipping. Would it be better to top coat each individual part?Yes, acrylics are as durable as tissue paper. Don't even touch the surface, let alone manipulate it for assembly, until it's been top-coated.>I may be moving onto enamels but I need to research more.1:1 with hardware store lacquer thinner, and it runs through your airbrush smooth as silk. The only downside is that it takes a very long time to dry and cure, so any pieces that you paint will be sitting on their clips for at least half a day.
>>23735089>>23735076Uh fuck yeah they do. Ty anons
>>23735089>grandaddyhenlo, plebbit!
>>23735149Looking pretty good so far. I find lacquers very sturdy and reliable, easy to thin and clean.
>>23735171>Don't even touch the surface, let alone manipulate it for assembly, until it's been top-coated.Nta but this is the most helpful painting advice I've ever seen and I don't even airbrush
Who has the most beautiful hands in /gpg/ and why is it mine?
>>23734986Here's the review for those who are interested. It looks great.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx9ZUjcmmTo
So I plan to get a HGUC Hyaku Shiki revive. Is it possible to use the EX White Gold marker on it or just use regular gold marker paint?
>>23735201
what scale are these?
>>237352301/144 scale.
>>23735156>muh hollow partsbitch faggot, that's toddler shit. I that rather than than have to deal with flashes, seamlines, and inaccuracies instead.
>>23735231thanks
>bootleg Moon Gundam>it comes with Gundam X waterslidesAll right, this is actually funny. I was going to buy the Delpi waterslides anyway, but goddamn these knockoff waterslides are just so precious.
>>23735230This anon >>23735231 sucks cock for a living. RDs are actually slightly taller than 1/144. They're non scale.
>>23735242In a similar case I ordered G-line bootleg and got 7th gundam decals in the box
>we want ac audience
>>23735250It's actually impressive that it has so many clashing lines and shapes going on that it just becomes a giant blob vaguely in the shape of a bird.
>>23734554what's the longest bandai went without announcing a zaku
>>23735250This looks like actual vomit. Does it kick ass in the movie at least?
>>23734655They are gonna have to make new parts for the lower leg if they make the CCA-MSV version, those are fucking bell bottoms and should be way different for the MSV.
>>23735256Real modelers would be able to fix it.
I am really struggling with ideas for an ace custom gogg. The box is sitting there, mocking me.
>>23735250I can already imagine the AoZ kitbashing.
PGU Leo when?
>>23735268After the zock
>>23735265Turn it into Jurick
>>23735276I could honestly do something like this. I could steal the arms off an acguy and scratch build the weird shoulders from some spare zaku parts. The head would be difficult though. I may need to 3d print something.
>>23735250Somehow I like this thing more than xi and penelope even though it's a total mess
>>23735281>The head would be difficult though. I may need to 3d print something.Take a nose from some rocket/plane kit and shove a zaku head inside
>>23735289Tragically the head is one of the extra zaku parts I do not have on hand. I'm not making a jurick since it wouldn't fit the theme but I'm gonna take some inspiration from it.
anyone see this out in the wild yet? this seems pretty feasible to 3d scan and upscale on a 3d printer
>>23734484Local plastic dealer has a Black Tri-Stars Haro, does that count as an ace custom?
>>23735232No you don't lmaoShow me your filled HG feet pics.
Does anyone know if there are any decent Gerbera Tetra bootlegs out there? Preferably MG
>>23735318There are absolutely zero
>>23735318The only one decent is the resin kit
>>23734579Who designed this anyway? It's so incongruent with the general Hathaway designs. It looks like something done for Astray or AC.
>>23735156>AircraftThere might be a detailed cockpit and maybe some cool hatches to leave off to show the engine, but aircraft kits are mostly clamshell builds without even an inner frame so het of your high horse dude.
the sheik mainland dougram looks pretty good
>>23735268This is definitely never happening
>>23735343two or three or four at best including fuel tanks or only on fuel tanks these days on kits released past 10 years? All on curved surfaces 99% of the time so no worrying about softening the edges. Redoing rivets isn't a hard task, including raised ones using just scretched sprue.
>>23735341I don't think we know yet, but it feels like katoki. Gives off a very similar feeling to narrative with the different packs which makes sense as it's also a test unit
260 posts in this thread and over 200 of them are worthless shitposts
>>23735046Its not really wise to get an infinite Dimensions Nemesis from there right? Thats a 150 plus bucks kit...but isn't it a chink third party kit anyway? Also how are the SNAA kits? I was looking at a nether emperor
>>23735370Including yours
Pretty big idea regarding a P-Bandai HGAW G-Falcon: Designed to combine with both HG and RG Gundams from the Gundam X series, the G-Falcon is fully transformable with joint parts to combine with all versions of the GX and DX, Leopard and Airmaster with trick clips and special joints. It will also come with extra weapons originally included with the 1/100 High Grades (DX's Twin Beam Sword, Rocket Launcher, G-Hammer, and Beam Javelin, Leopard Destroy's Heat Axe, and Airmaster Burst's Missile Rifle). Lastly, to add the "Premium" in being a P-Bandai release, it will also come with the G-Falcon Delta back cover that replaces the standard nozzle flaps. When the RG GX Rick Aller Custom gets made, it will be followed by the G-Falcon Rosa II Colors.
>>23735370just like yours faggotI'll shoot you in the face next time I see you
screwing around and want to do a low-effort custom paint of God Gundam (dont have an airbrush kit or anything crazy). The blue testors paint looks the closest but its a little boring compared to the metallic pens, plus im worried about air bubbles/brush strokes. Do you normally go for accuracy or what would look cooler?
>>23735214
I HATE MGSDI HATE MGSD!!!
>>23735254no, its a fucking patchwork and it jobs to the Xi
Fo you guys just make your own beam effects for rifles and cannons? Been looking for a compatible effect part and there's none in the market.
>>23735254It gives Hathaway PTSD
>>23735250literally White Glint with VOB
>>23735428Because you just use beam sabers that already come with the kit.

>>23735550fak yu
Should I get MG shenlong
new hexagear dog
>>23735578Depends, do you want the Liaoya Unit to go with it? If so, wait until it hits the P-Bandai catalog, because they don't sell that thing without the entire kit.
Found the diorama box set of the HG Xi and Penelope + effect parts at a local store for $220. Shocked to see it on a brick and mortar shelf, honestly. I should go back and get that.
>>23735578It's good. The ears like to fall off though. Make sure you glue them on. All the wing kits have some part that wants to fall off.
>>23735582>Already snapped a Weird Tail>Ordered the ATK Girl Fenrir last night>Now a new HexadogUGH. I guess I'm just collecting all the canids now.
>>23735582cool but the line will feel emptier and emptier without more cute governor girls
I'm surprised Koto has not made any kit of anything from Zoids Fuzors yet
I've gotten addicted to placing cheap chinkshit models in my shopping cart, but It just dawned on me how expensive it'd be to paint them all.Have any of you bought paint, primer, or thinner off of aliexpress?
>>23735603Yeah I've bought a bunch of Gaia 059 and Nazca Surfacer light, heavy, and pink off of aliexpress with no issues because they were OOS locally.
>>23735603Those things don't really get faked. You'll be fine.
>>23735601Most of those are lazy shit like an eagle perching on top of Berserk Fuhrer with no additional interaction. I understand why no one wants to touch that shit.
So the PG Nu can get it's feet off the ground while mounted, but the PG Unicorn can't? Despite using the same stand?
Bros help me, I have space for one more RG but I can't decide which one to go for, I'm thinking about the Zeong. I have Sazabi, Hi Nu, Epyon, Wing, MK II, Gaogaigar and Eva 01>>23735630My Unicorn can, only a little though (same as Nu)
>>23735635RX-78-2 2.0 is a fantastic build.
>>23735635How? My Banshee can't lift it's feet off the ground even if I have the stand fully stretched out.
>>23735638>>23735635>>23735630Have you considered that the mounting point may be at a different position
>>23735635HG Nightingale to pose alongside the Hi-Nu, or RG Wing Zero TV to pose alongside the Epyon.
>>23735638Maybe Banshee's longer/bulkier? I have the regular Unicorn
>>23735636Thought about this, but I'm a bit worn out by the rx-78-2 design and I already have him in HG and MG. But I've heard the 2.0 is kind of like a mini perfect grade and I'm interested in checking that out>>23735641I have no room for the Nightingale. I've heard great things about Wing Zero but I fear he'll be too similar to regular Wing and I'd like something more different to what I already have
I'm just sitting here waitinng for the Zaku Warrior revive kit. And for the Wizard Packs to be released for the Option Parts line. Hopefully they do.
>>23735603Update: what an awful website. I had a cart full of 99c items, and was jump scared by the notice about the new user sale only being applicable to one item, making the total cost of the cart go up 10x. Then it sent me through a gauntlet of those buy 1 get 1 free, and buy 3 get free shipping pages, where the applicable items are randomly generated. There, I found a few of the things I wanted for the cheap, but once I made it to the payment page, the kit I wanted disappeared from the cart.I'm guessing the chinks recognized my information from an old aliexpress account I had, and revoked my deals.
>>23735647>>23735638The Unicorn/Banshee can only get up if in the base mode. Remember they gain like 1.5M in height when transformed which is basically that height gap on the Nu
>>23735582wtf it turns into an Ingram
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/E8CgME_byuQ
>>23735670Man.. i'm about to get super 4chan here BUT..Or they just pulled the rug out like they were going to do from the start. Business with China is shifty as fuck. They just love to lure people in with promises of low cost and high quality and once you get to the point of no return the do the whole rug pull thing and hope you're frustrated/desperate and committed enough to just say "fuck it" follow through.I know two different people that said learning mandarin was the worst mistake they ever made because they got sent to do business in China and it's just a nightmare.
>>23735704The chinese see scamming people as a virtue. They think that if you can steal from someone you're a better person than them for it. Everything makes sense when you view it from the angle that they think stealing and lying are a good thing.

>>23735415Worthless then.
>>23735714HGAC Nataku, in anticipation of Endless Waltz's 30th anniversary and following on the heels of the HGAW Leopard finally getting a kit a decade after the molds were first made (Tigerwolf's Altron from Build Divers has its runners marked as generic Altron, indicating they eventually were going to use it to make an HG Nataku).
>>23735714>RGX>MGEX Astray>MG Immortal and Rising>MG MP Nu Ver Ka
>>2373571410 Seed kits
>>23734562>>23734564So, how many of the parts do you think they'll be able to recycle from this thing? Besides the head, some of the torso, parts of the skirt, the biceps and the thighs, most of the rest looks like it's going to have to be new molds. Hell, there seem to be enough small differences that it may well need to be almost entirely new molds (look at the cover over the power gem for example, it's squared on the Da Vinci but completely round on the original.
>>23735714>RG Pbandai Rising Gundam
>>23735791I would expect a HGFC akin to the P-Bandai Shuffle Alliance, but given its similarity to the Shining Gundam, it's possible.

I ordered this tool off ray studio and I'm really excited for it to arrive. For a decent while I've seen japanese modelers like crafta and them use scribers like these but I never knew how to get them. Some seam line angles are cancer so I really can't wait for this to arrive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY07eeCLhCA
>>23735476legend is just a cooler providence. shame it didn't get a redemption arc like destiny did.
>Glass fileYikes.
>>23735842You won't regret it, I have it and bought another two sizes since it's so useful.
>>23735846they're better than sanding sticks/sponges youre just gay
>>23735847I only ever thought of it as a seamline replacer but the thing about layering seems really cool too. I tried making my own tool like this by gluing pla plate to the side of a 0,3 scriber but it was so shit. Very very excited for the tool to arrive
DSPIAE ST-A 3.0 or stedi ms-108?
>>23735849yes, they're so much better for removing nubsI'm getting this raser clone to see how it performs (the msf-13 is a bit slow for big nubs)
>>23735838ok thanks is it okay for me to use the brown one for general use (on white surface)
>>23735856Is Stedi a newer brand? Can anyone back this? I've only been seeing their stuff recently in the past two years. I'd recommend the DSPIAE, had it for four years now and its still as good as new (albeit some rust). Its known for being "stronger" than the other single bladed nippers like godhands. I'm not sure about the Stedi one but it probably isn't bad, Stedi seems like a solid (new) brand
>>23735846Yes. And I legit love mine despite it being way overkill for my nooblet skill level and I've been looking for an excuse to gush about them so thanks for that. I was going to get just the file but they didn't have just the file on the site I was buying stuff from, just this set. So like an idiot I paid extra for the set. I'm super glad I did. Not only is this file the tits, the sponge is double tits and is so good at evening out the shine over all my parts. Like I give everything a quick scrub with it and no more shiny spots while others are dull. It all has the same luster. One side keeps things kind of matte but still looks good, the other side gets everything bright and shiny.I see no difference with the cloth, though. Like I keep trying it and not seeing any difference no matter what combination of steps I take. So the cloth is whatever, but the glass file and the balancer sponge? Damn near magic. I'm happy with the 45 bucks I coughed up for this. It even came with 3 extra balancer sponges for when this one gets chewed up. Love them.
>>23735806>High Grade UnleashedThat's just Real Grade
>>23735630>PG Nu can get it's feet off the ground while mounted, but the PG Unicorn can'tBecause:
>>23735869Also that sponge brings a shine to my nails that's incredible because I'm the guy that cares about fingernails more than any dude should. Don't ask why it's a dumb and boring story. My nail files and sponges don't even get them this shiny. No nail polish. Literally just the balancer sponge. Like holy shit.
>>23735880Your nails are too long anon I promise you women like shorter nails
I've used the Dispae 3.0 nipper for about 2 years but I bought Godhands recently and the difference is pretty noticeable. I'm all for finding cheaper alternatives and not give money to Jews but sometimes it is what it is.
>>23735929I know. I'm due for a trim. That was the plan after my shower tonight.
>>23735772I think Leopard is gonna be entirely new. Everything looks different than Davinci.
>>23735714Nothing. I'm satisfied with HGAW Leopard (and probably P-Bandai Leopard Destroy in Wednesday so that you can get both flavors the same month), but I really want to see more Figure-rise from Kamen Rider and Digimon (still waiting on Geats and MagnaGarurumon). Next Tuesday, we will have 30ML news, hopefully with 100% more Ronin Warriors.
>>23735772Fucking zero. The plates on the Da Vinci are exclusively labeled for the Da Vinci, so no parts shares there.
>>23735962Honestly, i want to see more Agito FRS since Toei is making a movie.
>>23735969Me too. Me too. G3 and Gills are fine, but Agito Burning and Shining Form would be great, too. It's also Ex-Aid 10th anniversary, but it will be just more Genm shilling for obvious reasons (think Year of Luigi style celebration).
Every day I wake up with a burning desire to strangle Hajime Katoki with my own two hands
>>23736005>One is very hard to animate while the other is a simplified design so that its easier for the animators.
>>23736008That's got nothing to do with it, most of Okawara's designs are made to be easy to animate and they clear anything Katoki has ever produced by a landslide.
>>23736008>"the other is a simplified design so that its easier for the animators">says this shit when its wearing that fucking chinktier clusterufuck penelope thing for most of the film and entirely CG
>>23736008Dude, it's in full 3d, it's not hand drawn anymore
>>23736008>a simplified designThe new MP Nu has more details, retard
>>23736005>Every day I wake up with a burning desire to strangle Hajime Katoki with my own two handsOmg you too anon?
>>23736005that ugly abomination of a beam rifle is the worst part
>>23736008It's made to be easier to turn into a toy, not easier to animate.
>>23736011>>23736014>>23736017>>23736027Retards cannot fathom this simple fact.
>>23736005they are the same
>>23736008>easier for the animatorsmobile suits are full cgi in hathaway movies fucking retard
>>23736041Ok then retard go on and find a 3d render of the left design. You cannot find an exact fucking render of it because it doesnt translate very well into 3d.
These are top coat, right?How much volume do they have (after mixed with thinner) compared to the rattle can version?
>>23736057The can has 100ml in it and after thinning the jars should be about the same.
>>23736057>>23736099Additionally, since you can control the volume of spray with the airbrush, the jar should last you significantly longer since there's going to be far less wasted on overspray.
>>23736106It also helps that the clearcoats need thinned more than their paints. The stuff is super concentrated.
>>23736005I was already disappointed at the reveals but this just ruined my day.
my cats like to sleep and afk around where I like to paint (terrace). are my cats gonna be ok?
>>23736043>Ok then retard go on and find a 3d render of the left design. You cannot find an exact fucking render of it because it doesnt translate very well into 3d.

>>23736122>posts a Katoki kitThat's not the debunk you think it isNo 3D model is ever going to be accurate to that MSV lineart
vthor's sword will be the coolest melee weapon for me in all of plamo that it keeps giving to those who can actually handle it
>>23736141Shame it's not available outside the original vthor.
>>23736135What you call lame and bland I call elegance in simplicity.
>>23736005That's not katoki. >>23736122 is katoki
I don't like the majority of MSV lineart and like the cleaned up versions by Katoki and others.
>>23735670>>23735704That's just online shopping experience in general.
>>23736136Yeah yeah whatever just drop your disgenious argument, it still looks closer to Okawara's artwork. No one expect it to be a 1:1 recreation, but look at me in the eye and tell me that it is impossible to make its shoulders black in 3d. I dare you.
>>23736043>doesn't translate very well into 3DWhy?
>>23736154I am looking at your retarded eyes and think that this retard cant seriously think that what he posted is even remotely similar to the msv lineart.
>>23736154nta, but it's clear they wanted it to look more like the Nu to sell Hathaway's PTSD. I agree they should've kept the original color scheme, though. Dark shoulders are much more interesting imo
How do we feel about cloth stickers?
>>23736157Whatever i don't care what you think. Answer me, is it impossible to color the shoulders black?
>>23736177Fun gimmick for 1% of owners who'd want to display Nu like in the opening of the movie
>>23736157Answer the question you fucking pig. Is it impossible to color the shoulders black?
>>23736162That sounds so pretentious, it is funny. But then again, UC anime is garbage, so it is not that big of a deal.
see how much strife katoki has sown
Man the 3d model in the movie looks like caca. Luckily you can paint the kit.
>>23736195Is it really Katoki? I don't think he designed Alyzeus.
>>23736177They do not look good. They should have just tried to replicate the shading in the anime with a normal sticker.
>>23736179>>23736182What are you sperging about you slut
>>23734518It's insane, I love it. I think I'll paint mine in T3 colors and slap some shield boosters on it
>>23736201I sperg about real dogshit. Looks too disturbibg to look at.
>>23736204These edgy blobs keep getting worse and worse holy shit.
>>23736204Damn, AoZ even got it's hands on S Gundam
>>23735880>this retard paid money for a literal piece of clotha fool and his money are easily parteda literal scrap of cotton t-shirt accomplishes the same thing as that recover shit, you drooling troglodyte
>>23736205I think the lighter shoulders look better.
>>23736208>>23736206That's fanart you silly geese. Although the idea of an outdated test bed MS getting pushed into service is very AoZ-coded
>>23736252>That's fanartit doesn't matter if it's real or not, this is a new phenomenon in which everyone wants to make this giant spiked blob of a design. Though I'm starting to suspect it's because the artists fail at shading?
MG Psycho Gundam
>>23735372NTA but ive built 3, Tristan, Gawain, and the Martial Emperor. The Tristan and Gawain are basically RG in quality and the Martial is absolutely gigantic and a equally good kit. Highly recommend every anon here to at least give the 1/144 kits a try
>>23736205>>23736201>>23736179>>23736154>>23736249This is /gpg/ just paint the shoulders the color you want. You do paint right?
>>23736249I'm so sorry for you.
>>23736312Oh yeah i will go to Banrise headquarter tomorrow and recolor that 3D model.
>ali seller sent me a notice that my order been inspected and is in perfect condition, provided a pic and wished me a happy lifeThese changs are alright sometimes.
>>23736315This is /gpg/, we are talking about the HGUC plastic model. Go to some other thread to discuss the movie design.
>>23736326"Gunpla/Plamo" doesn't imply painting, yet we talk about paint anyway. Discussion on the MP Nu as a design is absolute in the acceptable range of what's consensually allowed. Thanks to it, you know what looks stupid ( the white shoulders and what not ( the black shoulders ) for your future MP Nu build.
>>23736326>we are talking about the HGUC plastic model. No we don't. This has been about how it looks as a 3D model from the start. The discussion about the HG has been nothing but positive because everyone can just unfuck its retarded colorscheme.
>3d printed prototypes bandai showcased in their show looks sharper than the plastic parts we getBandai wtf
>>23736334It does, as model kits should be painted, at the very least with a clear top layer to fix the texture.>>23736338My point is go bitch about 3D models from a show in the thread about the show. This thread is about models, not how some movie isn't accurate to a 1980s magazine what if design.
It looks better with white shoulders
>>23736341HG sculpt has been better due to more part separation nowadays. You get some dogwater looking ones, but they are getting less common.
>>23736341It's an optical illusion
>>23736341it still looks like a happy meal toy with blunt edges, primer is just making it look less like shit as theres no subsurface scattering to make the edges look softer
>Watch that one videogame cutscene where a GM command kicks ass>Buy HG Kit so my GMs can have a badass leader>It looks like absolute ASS>Doesnt even have mechanics behind the visor so the head is just hollow and shit>Proportions fucked up so it looks like a baby wearing its diaper to the ribs>Ketchup gun ploppy in the handI want to make this look good no matter the cost. What do I do? Pla plates to lengthen the abs, maybe shorten the thighs a bit? Full transplant from a different kit?
>>23736365buy an rg rx-78-2replace the head with the gm commandreplace the shield voila
>>23736365The GTO kit looks better but it is also kinda bad for other reasons.
>>23736374The chest would be way off
>>23736378>GTO There's an idea, maybe I can keep the torso and shins and add a bit of panel lining, transplant the thighs, stomach, forearms and sideskirt. I think I can probably steal an internal camera from suits developed from the commando. Maybe the GM Sniper II.
>>23736365Find pic related for a decent price.
>>23736386feels good to have hoarded 4 copies of this in my backlog
>>23736386these look like shit thoughbeit horrid redesign to appeal to DBZshounentards and chinamen
>>23736365the MG is excellent
>>23736365Take the head and the backpack and slap them onto a GM Sniper II. Done.
>>23736396>obariesque super robot shapes>>appeal to DBZshounentards and chinameni mean it's not wrong but still
Fuck you niggers for making me aware that Gunprimer glass files have rounded edges. I fell for your shilling and ordered one. Since I'm a thirdworlder, markup is insane and shipping will take like two months.
>>23736448u got scammed bruh
>>23736396>appeal to shounentardsGundam is for 8 years old.
>>23736448They're good files. It's probably not marked up as much as you think. Those fuckers are like 25 bucks in the US.
>>23736490h-haha yea sure uhh haha just a little shipping fee haha
>>23736200still looks better than the f90 C pack at least
>>23736603A bit of starch would go a long way on this.
>>23736448>Gunprimer glass filesFor as much as this general hates mecha gaikotsu, why does he get shilled so much? You shouldve gotten a nano glass buffer lol, its literally the same glsss and theyre just cheap nail supplies.
>>23736607The ones for nails are different.
>>23736603>looks betterSure but that's not a high bar to pass.
>>23736603I like the gigantic sled armor.
mfw no one really sells my fave gov on resellers
>>23736621Who's your fav
>>23736625monoceros, I already have 2 (a semi painted snap build and a custom shown) but I really really wanna try to use the full suite of painting I have aquired from getting to painting miniatures
>>23736245But I didn't buy it for the recover cloth. I even said the cloth was a whole lot of nothing.
>>23736607The nail files I found have the same non-round edge that can gouge. That's the main advantage of the Gunprimer one.
>>23736607>mgk Gunprimer is Korean, what does that fag have to do with it?
>>23736463I'm 45 and love Gundam, eat shit kid
>>23736607>rounded edgesthat's why
>>23736448bro...
>>23736680These things are significantly worse than gunprimers files.
Tell me again why you people shill glass files so much when a diamond file exists which is far cheaper and comes with different shapes and sizes?
>>23736703Diamond files bite too much. I use them all the time but they're really only good for brutish, first cuts.
>>23736490these are repacked nail sanding sticks. it's already being sold at a markup.
>>23736711Please find the original file for sale before the markup.
>>23736703I think the raser is 2000 grit. I'm not seeing any diamond files with a grit that fine. I mean maybe, I just did a quick Google search and clicked a few links, but they don't seem common enough for a quick pickup. That raser is 25 bucks on its own. That's really cheap for "the premium best of the best" purpose built tool. There are a hundred different options all with their own pros and cons, but 25 bones for "the best" is cheap enough to be a "might as well grab one" purchase. I'm not trying to push them or claim they are the best, I really don't have enough experience in this hobby to make that claim, but that is just the general reaction that I see when people start talking about them.
>>23736603>some retard bought this
>>23736735I've considered it. I know a lot about working with fabric so I'm pretty sure I could get it to look good.
>>23735714It's gonna be the shit they just announced, they do this shit all the time.
So I'm not trying to kick the hornets nest and throw in an uno reverse card and NO U for the sake of shitposting. I'm genuinely curious because I see the posting in the threads go back and forth on them.Does anyone have a glass file and NOT like them? If so, what one did ya get and what's your complaint about them? I see plenty of people praising them and why they like them, I see plenty of people shit on glass files, but I don't think I've seen anyone shit on glass files and say why they don't like them. Why don't you like glass files? I'm legit curious, tell me about it.
>>23736836I own the stedi glass files. They cut kind of funny and I don't like the surface finish. The corners also love to bite into whatever I'm working on. And they clog fast. I get much nicer results just using sandpaper strips and some files I got from harbor freight for 2 dollars.
>>23736836I have the DSpiae siren and have never fallen in love with it. I use it sometimes but I could easily get by without it. I like godhand sanding sponges the most of any sander for when I'm doing actual work, if I just want to snap something godhands and a hobby knife clean up everything.
>>23736836I have one and I love it, but I'll complain about it a little for the sake of balance. I have a Raser. Origin I think. Whatever their flagship is. Despite it being a super fine "grit", it can still be aggressive. It's super easy to accidentally round corners or file too much of a spot off. With Sandpaper I could just go ape and usually be fine. With a glass file I have to be careful and mindful of the angles I'm cutting at. Also it can be tricky to use on outside curves. Trying to file in a curved motion takes A LOT of practice. It can't get into tight inside curves or corners either. For curves and corners sanding sponges are king. Past that though, the file is great. And you can own both. The glass file gets 95% of the gates and sponges pick up the last 5%. A lot of what I'm pointing out is just a case of "git gud, noob" but learning a tool can take a while. Still, since I got that glass file I've completely stopped gluing sandpaper to popsicle sticks and the only time I pick up an emery board is to get the bulk off safety flags and clean up the rest with the glass file.Also of you're roughing up surfaces to hold paint, the file is useless. Sponges and paper is your go-to. I haven't used the file on something that has been painted but I have no doubt that would end in disaster so you'll wana go back to sandpaper and sponges.I hope that adds a little balance and tempers expectations. Feel free to add your 2 cents.
What kit makes for a better display piece, the Unleashed RX-78-2 or the Unicorn/Exia with lights installed?
I have the base for my gogg ground type planned out. I think I may be contrarian and build it a shoulder cannon. And I might put some spikes on the opposite shoulder. As it is, I am happy with the colors. I also want to give it a larger backpack to help it move on land.
>>23736836Well, I have a DSPIAE one and I like how it leaves smooth finish while removing plastic pretty fast, but sharp edges are a problem since it limits what surfaces you can safely clean with it. There's a risk of leaving "claw marks" if you tilt it.Also due to how easily it removes plastic I still prefer sanding sponges for more delicate areas.Also its diagonal grooves limit the strokes direction and it has really nasty feel if you accidentally move it "along the grain".Clogging doesn't bother me, it's fairly easy to clean.It's a great tool but I'm feeling cucked by the nub placement quite often.
>>23736866Here's an alternative color scheme I thought of. All the lighter grays are silver. The scheme for both is loosely based on the jurick.
>>23736871>>23736866And here is the lovely pilot of this gogg.
>>23736866> I also want to give it a larger backpack to help it move on land.it would be a good fit for Dom style legs
Cool gimmick
>>23736858Oh. And file clogging. The file does get clogged pretty quick but in my kit I have a 89 cent finger nail brush I picked up when I grabbed emery boards. I just have that laying on the desk when I'm building. After I file off a gate I give it a quick scrub with the brush before putting it back down and its good to go. I have had a few stubborn clogs but nothing that grinding the brush along at an angle hasn't cleared. So there is the one extra step. Past that I'm happy with it. I'm not the most experienced in the hobby but that's what I've come across in the last 4 or 5 models.
>>23736874I like the big feet it has. I was thinking of not using the propellers and putting thrusters in there like a rick dom. I want to retain as much of the gogg as possible to make it look like something which has been getting cobbled back together and upgraded for a long time. I also want to avoid it looking like it's ever had major damage.I think the goal is to place it on mars, around UC 115 with it's new pilot. Right before mars zeon becomes a major problem.Maybe I'll build onto the legs to add extra thrusters. I do have a lot of zaku parts around which I could use.
/gpg/'s honest thoughts?
>>23736888armored core tier
>>23736888It's an MP Nu wearing a boatload of crap.I like it.
>>23736888First time I've been interested in an official Bandai release in years
>>23736888i respect it as a troll design
>>23736888>/gpg/'s honest thoughts?They never should have given Katoki money
>>23736884I could easily see it just being a handful of thrusters strapped around the legs with some armour plating over them, nothing fancy or signfiicantly redesigned. Think like Uma's Gelgoog maybe. Some thrusters in the shoulders pointed down might work too. In general just hovering equipment? That's the route I'd take anyways. Cool idea. I feel like a cannon is a strange idea on a Gogg but I'd like to see it.
>>23736906>I could easily see it just being a handful of thrusters strapped around the legs with some armour plating over them, nothing fancy or signfiicantly redesigned.That's why I was thinking of using zaku parts to make them. It seems like something which would be easy, in universe, for a zeon ace pilot to get a hold of for their fucked up gogg. I want it to feel like something constantly iterated on over decades so some weird stuff might end up on it to solve a specific problem. A shoulder cannon is a ranged weapon that's a lot less commitment to fire than the ones in the waist. It's a solution to it not having normal hands to hold a beam rifle. Maybe it'll be some kind of net launcher to incapacitate foes so that it can close in with the claws. Think of it as an evil tee shirt cannon.My thought process is what changes I would need to make a gogg which has been removed from the seas of earth to make it remain a threat.
>>23736836I just don't see the use case if you are painting your kits anyway. It does what it's meant to do okay, but I think a good quality sanding board/sponge works better for me.
>>23736888Busier and uglier than most chang designs.
>>23736914It genuinely looks like a GBWC winning abomination.
>>23736911Maybe some smaller calibre weapon mounted on the back of one of the claw hands? Something for when the situation doesn't call for you to fire up the belly particle cannons but you want to spray a bit of lead.
>>23736917that's quite spot oni expect a lot of entries will be using it
>>23736888funni fat fucknice trips
>>23736888Kitbash fodder for my Armored Core kits.
>>23736882I use a toothbrush for those stubborn clogs
>>23736888needs more thrust
>>23736866>>23736871Yellow accents on hands are cool.Thighs and belly being the same color make it look like he's wearing a green diaper.
>>23736888It made me appreciate the Penelope more.
>>23736929Right now I'm looking for options part sets but the options for 1/100 are pretty limited.>>23736939The color pattern is based on the jurick. The waist and legs being lighter is also the default gogg color scheme.

>>23736888It's sick and I'm tired of pretending it isn't.
>>23736943wat is the deal with this white thing? nevermind the fact chang released it before bandai lmao
>>23736888Less ugly than Penelope
Looking at the jurick again, I might add some black parts. I think the white decals I intend to put there would look really good on black.I also realized I have a whole guncannon gun in the right scale around from a project I did a while back. I also have a ton of the little leg thrusters from chars zaku around I could pepper around the legs. I'd just need to drill holes in the armor to put them in. It's an easy way to pepper around reverse thrusters.I might make the cannon barrel out of a zaku bazooka. I have a lot of them around. I can also use the rear end of the bazookas as more serious thrusters. I have also changed the thrusters and vents to gold.Here's where I'm at, currently.
>>23736882Just use some painters tape. Slap it on and pull it off a few times.
>>23736888Its starting to grow on me just like the Xi/Penelope did. It looks like a disgusting frankenstein but when you see it more, it has its charms and its been awhile since Bandai released something that is designed like this.
>actual image of the production nuHow stereotypical
>>23736992Me on the left bandai on the right
>>23736992Can you even tell wtf is going on with this?
>>23736934>>23736972I might have worded that weird. Any clogs I had have been cleared with my nail brush. My bad, but hey thanks for the tips anyway.
I just ordered the RG Zeong and PGU RX-78-2. What am I in for
So when's rg barbatos?
My parents took a cruise to Barbados and saw the solar eclipse when I was a kid.
>>23736888Beauty is on the inside
>>23737055In another 11 or 16 years, hopefully, when they're forced to give IBO something for its 20th or 25th anniversary and long after everybody who claims to like it has moved on.
>>23736888truly couldn't be happier that they found a way to repurpose the novel penelope bits
Had a dream Katoki held me in his arms
>>23736701have you tried them?
>>23736877>future hg will finally get detailed handsneat
>>23737070Don't count on it, the Xi gets it cause it's big as fuck and has massive hands.
>>23737069Yeah. I own three stedi files. The gunprimer one is just better in every way. It's not even close.
>>23737043PGU is a satisfying build. Just need to get decals and a clear coat on mine to finish it.
>>23737098looks too chinesePGU was a mistake
>>23737099Honestly the original PG was still too detailedThe old 1/60 kit is still the best looking one of the lot with a few modifications
Finished building the net cannon and thruster out of a zaku leg and bazooka. I also had the extra thruster from a zeong to use. It'll be mounted to the stock backpack. I might not use it for the gogg though. Depends how the cannon fits over the shoulder.
