Show me what you're working on!
>>23741104First time ever painting. airbrushing is very, very tough. I wanted the armor to be bright silver (C90 Shine Silver), but most of the paint just won't stick. when it does, it's very uneven and inconsistent. I'll just pretend all that grey stain are battle damage to cope.I'm not sure what I did wrong. the thinning ratio was the same as Bloody Red and Burnt Iron (more than 1:1.5, less than 1:2 paint:thinner), which had no problem spraying and sticking, so I don't think it's an airbrush issue. The paint does spray and it gets depleted quite fast, but it just won't stick. It's kinda watery when it touches the surface of the plastic.Is it because C90 Shine Silver is metallic and need a different type of thinner (I used Leveling Thinner)? or is Silver incompatible with white primer?I also tried testing Mr Primer Surfacer Grey (SF287) and faced a similar problem. it's not watery, but it takes so long for the paint to appear on the plastic. I'll try spraying this surfacer tomorrow on parts I forgot to paint to make sure.
>>23741141nice unintentional weathering I'd say
>>23741141Kinda dig the uneven look on red. Looks like velvet
>>23741141I suggest not using levelling thinner with metallics. I prefer rapid thinner for them. You want metallics to dry fast so that the fleck stays in place and doesn't have time to shift around in the paint and clump up.You could also thin your paint a bit less. The way the paint pulling away from the edges means you sprayed too much paint on at once and thinned it too much. Neither of those things are inherently bad you just can't do both of them at one. If you thin it that much you need to do light coats. If I intend to do a single coat i always just thin around 1:1. If I intend to thin my paint a lot like you did I expect to do multiple coats to get good coverage.Also with metallics black is generally the best base coat.
>>23741104some slight proportion changes on xi. legs lengthened about 3mm, torso raised by 2mm. i might push the limit of the peg and add one more layer onto the legs. Also this kit is like a rag doll after not having touched it for years. Nothing that can't be fixed, but it is a bit annoying. I'm considering butchering the hi nu ver ka that I have boxed and giving the funnels and binders to it as well. idk if I'll start a new project in full yet though. I won't have as much time going forward and I still want to compete in some local contests around the middle of the year.>>23741141you're either thinning too much (probably not if your measurements are correct) or your psi is too high. What psi are you spraying at? Also metallics appear deeper over darker coats. You want rapid or regular thinner for metallics
>>23741152The finish doesn't look like the pressure was too high on his brush. It looks to me like the coat was just too heavy for the thinner ratio.
>rumor from the grapevine is that GBWC will skip this yeari wonder why.
>>23741149>to shift around in the paint and clump up.ah, yes. THAT is what happened.Rapid, huh... is there even a 110ml bottle like Leveling? I can only find the giant 400ml one. I really don't want to buy it since I won't have much use of metallic paint except for 1 project. buying 400ml is overkill.>thinned it too muchIs this for Metallic only? since the other 2 colors are fine with similar ratio I did the Silver (near 1:2)>metallics blackI plan on doing Turn X with Metallic Gold armor and Metallic Iron inner frame (both Mr Color GX series). I bought Mr.Finishing Surfacer Black for this. is it actually fine for this plan?>>23741152>your psi is too highprobably this, but I have to adjust the airbrush (not the compressor) into "big spray" if I want the color to even come out otherwise, it's just air with very little paint. I don't exactly know the psi number, how do I check?
>>23741157the exact middle of this image divides the parts i like with the nonsense
>>23741161show us what you're using to airbrush with
>>23741163What?
>>23741157Do japs ever get tired of the endless rx-78-2 builds? Surely at some point?
>>23741141>first ever paiting>on mgyou get what you deserve
>>23741167everything on the right side of the image looks retarded and doesn't mesh with the left side. ask grok or chatjeetpt next time first
>>2374116425 psi, apparently and it seems I can tighten and loosen it with the compressor. I'm not sure how tight/loose it should be, but I never adjusted it before.I usually adjusted the airbrush power with left pic red circle to control how far the trigger can be pulled back.
>>23741173I'm allergic to 1/144My first ever kit when I was in 5th grade was also a MG
>>23741173I did a FM first, followed by an MG
>>23741173MG is the best for that with all the part separation >>23741175It's a cool robot arm holding an airbrush, it's distinct from the rest because it is by design a separate element of the display and it works just fine.
>>23741179I want to color RE1/100 SHOKEW orange!
What are the best Gelgoog kits?
>>23741191MG 2.0 hands down
Group build will have 5 entries
>>23741161Surfacer Black ends up in a semi-gloss/satin finish, you'd get a nicer finish with a glossy black paint, the GX Black thins super well and goes on great for a glossy look.
>>23741195because my plamor rituals to curse the other contestants have started working
>>23741199can't I just use gloss top coat for that?
Imagine if the chinamen upscaling this kit to 1/100
Where's the anon that posted >>23740742? I need a thread for this and other Chinese /m/ stuff because for some reason, I can never post pics in 4chan, ever.
We are gonna liberate Mars from Zeek scum.
>>23741217>Blob but bigger
>>23741217I eagerly await the bootleg MP Nu wave
>>23741173MG is literally the best kit for beginner painters though. Better color separation and bigger parts means more leeway for mistakes, and lets beginner practice techniques better on bigger sections.
>>23741255same, gonna buy like 4 kinolegs from chang for less than the cost of the inevitable official PBandai kit + shipping + tax + tip
>>23741169to be fair this is the first time i saw a japanese champion use an RX78 as its main subject. ironically, this is IMO japan's worst champion. it's just diorama spam. GBWC should bring back real craftsmanship
>>23741104Been trying to hand paint metallics and it's a pain in the ass, needs work still. Might just spruce it up and enter it as my ace build
>>23741294beautiful hand.
>>23741294The paintjob looks pretty fine but you need to work on your physical cleanupthat shotgun looks awful, the seam will always look bad if you don't weld it but the nub leftovers pop out like a sore thumb.
>>23741301Oh the shotgun is just there for the pose, they will definitely get cleaned up and welded because yea it looks like shit as is. Can't decide on a good paint job for them though
How do you achieve the effect of the beam sabers i-fields interfering with one another
>builders can easily fix the lean of the PGU Nu gundam with a simple thickening of a joint using either a resin gel or clear coatNow it's just a matter of making a solid replacement part for that single piece of plastic that holds up the funnels
What can I do with pla sprinkles other than sprue goo?
You know, this is one those kit that, the bootleg feels like the authentic product while the actual authentic product feels like a defective bootleg. Everything was fine until the dogshit arms. Thickening the pegs doesn't seem enough.

THE WORLD CALLS FOR THE DEATH OF BANDAI
Today I bought some more premium paints to play with. I spent $8.50 on some alclad chrome. I have very high expectations of it.I also got some mr color GX silvers for a vigna ghina. One of them has noticeably less paint in it than the other.Pic related. I am going to try and get a similar look to this art.
Is buying a second pg unicorn so I can display it in both modes too crazy or not
>>23741440AND WE ANSWER IT
>>23741449Yes but you're gonna do it anyway.
>>23741449Bro just install automatic transformation mechanism and set it to change every half an hour
>>23741452>>23741460Id stay with the one I have but I'm honestly scared it'll break from transforming it back and forth so frequently
>>23741462>so frequentlyI suggest you stop then.
>>23741429Thanks anon, it's actually the Chinaman bootleg I decided to practice on. Yea the seam line on the leg bugs me a bit but I was unsure how to weld em and still be able to make everything work. The shotgun will definitely be welded. Any idea on what colors to use on them? What did you paint yours?
>>23741465That's the problem, whenever I change it I decide I liked it more the other way. I've transformed it 4 times in the last 2 days
>>23741468Here's a photo of mine from when I did it. It was when I was first seriously getting into painting. I just did mostly canon colors but metallic.
>>23741473Just because they're toys that doesn't mean you actually play with them.
>>23741479I know, two parts have broken already and some panels no longer close fully on unicorn mode. But I cant stop lol
>>23741482Buy a pack of bootleg PGs just to fiddle with them
dunno why are you making the same thread on /toy/it's so dead that it's not even funny

>>23741512AK
>>23741512Hardware store lacquer thinner + Revell enamels = stronger than lacquers at the cost of long drying time
>>23741552sure if you wanna wait weeks for your paint to cure before you can do panel lines
>>23741552I'm not complaining about your idea but enamel can take almost a month to harden if it's not in an controlled environment. It's a real commitment.

>>23741104I will try to finish for the group build

>>23741688No there isn't.
Nooohs! MG Gogh at local hobby shop was gone, guess I'll order one online. Positive things was they did have an HG Hy-Gogg Wich I did not notice last week or got restocked. I have the blue Z'Gogg on my desk to play with but now that it has a brother I will have to paint him and if I do the big Gogg also in blue they can form a posse.
>>23741650Pretty much all of these have been in rotation on and off for the past year at least. Well, the HG Wing, F91, Unicorn Destroy, Exia and 00 are somewhat more recent, and MG 00 Qan[T] and Raiser only started hitting their shelves in the past 2-3 months. I also haven't seen Pharact at any of the ones in my city.>>23741654I bought them all two years ago.

>>23741706You don't have to be good at it, just persistent enough to stick with the back-and-forth process for long enough to get something that looks good
>>23741712>>23741778did some push ups, pondered and charted a coursei will try again tomorrow from scratch
>>23741650Everytime someone posts a Hobby Lobby pic my paranoia gets the better of me because they all look alike, but... what if this is the one in my neighborhood?
>>23741860who gives a shit? I'm not gonna rape some fat nerdy white guy like you
>>23741870No, it's because I've been sneaking out HGs one runner at a time and I keep thinking what if they're on to me?
>>23741887I doubt the people working there would even put two and two together and think you're knicking runners from the box.Or they very likely don't care.
>>23741689Yes they do. They don't feel like Gundam despite being 100% Gundams.
>>23741922But what if Big Lobby is onto me?
Don't care, I'm gonna buy RG Exia just because Exia is the only (somewhat) cool gundam.
>>23741887I've walked out with entire kits AND paint in my hands. Nobody cared or tried to stop me.

>>23742044They want to give everyone time to buy and paint a PGU Nu. They know every Jap builder is going to submit that next.

I don't get the appeal of Nu
>>23742678Thats right, I would have preferred a Jegan with funnels.
>>23742525Explain this to your family.
>>23742644Look up anime resin sculpting, hobby sculpting, clay techniques on youtube. You'll need pic related. You can also make figures with what they call a "3d pen". Theres videos on this too.
>>23742644I sculpt with Apoxie Sculpt from Aves all the time, but I'm nowhere near the level shown in your pic.Apoxie Sculpt is an epoxy putty as soft as plasticine when mixed and you can smooth it with plain water. When it's cured, it's much like hardened clay or drywall compound. You can sand it, carve it and drill holes into it. It has a tendency to chip when carving fine details, but it's easy to fix with fresh putty.My best advice is go slowly, little bits at a time so you don't mash up your work as you sculpt.For large bulk shapes, a polyester putty like Bondo or Tamiya is good, especially for sharp edges and planes. I see Japanese modellers use that stuff all the time for sculpting anime stuff.

Panel liners are just men too insecure to put eye liner on.
>>23743068If I had to, I'd cut out the individual eyes and color in the surrounding area with a marker or something. But even coloring the eyes with a Gundam marker (or equivalent) will look much nicer.
>>23741141Done.applied gloss top coat... 3 times... no difference AT ALL. bruh. It sprayed fine, but when it touched the plastic surface, it wasn't watery like the rattle can version.
>>23743086Fix up that fucking gap on the chest.And you clearly assembled the arms the wrong way
>>23743090>yep looks goodLOL
>>23741104>>23742592Really enjoyed this kit. Still need to do decals and finish the whip, but I can't really say I have any complaints
>>23743090I didn't notice that and of course I forgot to cut this runner part

Reddit and /m/ feels the same to me imo.
Just because this is le edgy and mysterious website known as 4chan, it doesn't mean you have to be an asshole all the time.
>>23743124just remember that everyone talking shit on you doesn't paint or even build model kits for that matter, so you are better than them by default
>>23743138Being an ass all the time is more of a redditor trait if anything. I remember 2008 4chan anons being alot more hillarious and less personal than they are now.

any tips on a Mafty-appropriated Nu Gundam MP? I wanna add a ReZEL head because my autism is quite flared by what is effectively a Nu GM still bearing the name and head of a Gundam, but I also wanna be lore-accurate and mechanically plausible.

So when exactly is the new hathway movie coming out on torrent? I'm way too fat for the movie theathres and I want to watch it in the privacy of my own home.
>>23743253china and thailand are getting a screening in a few days so probably by next weekend
>>23743240Why not Jegan head? Or you could putty up the face vents, remove the v-fin and cover the eyes with a visor
>>23742759If this company is smart they should work on a third party kit of the MP Nu MRD and snipe Bandai on the MP Nu variants. Which in all likelihood will only be announced an year or so from now.
>>23743277They're already halfway there with the backpack
entry grade conversion kit to the mp when?
put together, this Moebius Zero is impressive on its own
>>23743397there are some fit issues, the cone like main body does not fully enter the little groove to which all the pods are attached, leaving a small gapsimilarly, the lateral flaps of all pods can't fully close for a more compact form, like in the metal build toy
>>23743400that aside the mechanical arms that attach to each pod hold them securely and can extend quite a bit, thus greatly increasing the display volume you need and that is even bore attempting the whole separate them entirely from the main body with the cables
>>23742644Man I wish that Appleseed had modern plastic kits. Moderoid landmates eventually hopefully.
>>23743407well, here is it, Mwu's own Gunbarrel Strike Gundam, this should have been his loadout in the Jachie Due battle in the SEED finale imothe backpack attachment is supersolid to my surprise, but the base kit won't stand up with all that weight, the optional diecast inner frame is necesary for this
>>23743505
>>23743508the back view is kinda silly
Bros what is the better big Zaku, PG or Mega Size?
>>23743573It's up to you.
>>23743592But I have a disease where I cannot make decisions on my own.
Does the new HGUC Gouf blow the old one out of the water? I'm rather happy with my old one, but I don't know what I would do with two. And similarly, what about the older HGUC Mk II that comes with the Super Gundam, I already have the newer one.
>>23743086>>23743124I think it looks nice anon, but I also don't paint my models.
>>23743594Do you like RG Zaku? Mega size is the same but bigger. But PG has psychoframe transformation
>>23743604>RG ZakuYou mean HG, right?
>>23743594Don't impersonate me>>23743604>psychoframeWhat
>>23743616I mean in terms of surface detail
>>23743622The PG Zaku... is undergoing a Psychoframe Transformation!!!
>>23743627The most detailed looking Zaku to date is RFV Zaku. Abit too detailed for its own good.
>>23743225>that wasn't coomer shit>GirlWait until you realize that once you got older and married to a woman, you can stick your dick in her vagina and coom inside. Crazy, right?
>>23743648left is best still has some of the nice MG 2.0 proportions (the best zaku to date)
>>23743659Revive Zaku has a huge gap in its waist. Looks like shit imo.
>>23743648What does this have to do with anything?
>>23743637kek I remember that thread
I tried using Mr Cement to glue a small broken piece and it's not working at all, should I just use super glue?
>>23743648>>23743659I honestly don't like either the HG Revive Zaku or the MG 2.0Neither of them looks sufficiently cartoony
>>23741980Just announce the price already.
For anyone who's built the Osiris Aerial Dominator (MGEX Kshatriya bootleg), what are the weak parts of the kit? I've been seeing these third-party 3D printed aftermarket parts for it to replace the hands, Sleeves insignias, horn, mega-particle cannon barrels, shoulder thrusters, funnels, and so on. Were those parts just badly made on the original kit, and are they worth buying replacement parts for?
is the chinkpla re-haze actually out now?
>>23743703That's just aesthetic shit
>>23743703It's for if you decide the design isn't greebled enough for your taste,
>>23743656Gross
>>23743573PG is technically the better kit but it lacks the bazooka because bandai is retarded and locked it behind an extra parts set which they proceed to print like 2 times total. The heat hawk was built with LEDs in mind but also doesn't come with them for the same reason.Mega size is larger though, if you just want a big big zaku
>>23743225They don't. Go shit up another hobby.
>>23741104Got most of the painting done for my ace build. Need to wait on the silver as I need to do some masking for some accents on other parts.Mostly just a vanilla GMIII with a gun he found along the way.
MG Gogg ordered!
>>23743746Delightful.
>>2374309690% sure that is a rotation point...

Oh SHIT my Chinese Re-Haze from Aliexpress just got here. Didn't even know they delivered on Sundays. Also the app says delivery isnt until April? Weird
>>23743703The original funnels were /too/ detailed for an x24 set of steps.
>>23743768STOP! YOU HAVE VIOLATED BANDAI NAMCO'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY! SWIFTLY DESTROY THIS PRODUCT ASAP OR FACE THE WRATH OF JAPANESE.

>>23743768I'm so jealous. Mine is still a week or so away.
i think i will get the pgu rx-78-2. wanted to see how much the pgu nu would go for in local stores after the gaijin tax. 2.5x the rx-78-2 is a pass for me
>>23743722I care more about detail than size and I don't care about the bazooka, PG for me it is
>>23743795Do it anon, I ordered mine earlier this week. Arrives in like 2 months though lol
>>23743768How's the plastic quality?
I just realized the RG MK ii has some long ass legs, was it designed by Hacktoki?

>>23743803Most of RGs were designed by Bandai's inhouse artists. Katoki did redesigned MK2 once but it doesn't seem like this is what RG based off.
>>23743821>>23743823beautiful hand
>>23743823And the last, don't have a translated version of this. Stay awsome /GPG!

>>23741104I should have it standing before next weekend
>>23743847
>>23743849Is this camera exaggerating or the border on decals actually fucked?
>>23743847>>23743849
>>23743505Bandai only made a HG of this thing right?
>>23743861This is a third-party kit based on Scamdai's Metal Build Strike.
>>23743883Please don't besmirch Bandai's name.
>>23743852Camera is ass
>>23743849>>23743847what is this weird color difference between the middle and the border of the pieces?its as if the border was kinda dirty
>Metal Build-based kitsA WHAT how did I missed out on these?
>>23743942The chinamen made model kits of the MB Destiny and Hi-Nu like 1.5 years ago.
>>23743942You lived under a rock? Daban and other brands has been making them for the last decade at least
>>23743230Just general guidence on where to start and stuff. Any books or blogs or youtube channels would be a huge help.My end goal is to be able to sculpt figures of pilots and other characters to go along with my mecha.
>>23743895Trying preshading but my shade and highlight colors are too close in tone and I didn't want to restart with a blue. It looks more subtle irl but still not what I wanted.
>>23743847>>23743849Did you pillow shade this?
>>23743974Trying, but like all first attempts it's kind of eh
>>23743745The clear coat dried on the PGU, so finally got to play with it posing a bit. A surprising how it can pose given it's lacking an action base. Did this one after an old wallpaper I had, but until posing I never realize was having a left handed saber use. Had to have the shield on for balancing.
>>23743985Another surprising shooting pose, needed *just* right balance to not fall over, so despite liking it I can't keep it due to falling risk.
>>23743986And a more standard pose I'm going to stick with. My Exia PG faces right and is flying, so it should look neat together.
>>23743988And that was a terrible guess at how high up Exia was. Looks decent from the ground at least.Also... I just discovered while looking at the photo that I somehow missed the entire waist section from being clear coated...
work on your posing
>>23744001that would hurt Gramps, he's an old man after all
omg the chinks finally copied them, getting them asap
>>23744009I just got some of these. They're okay. Handy to have around for sure.
>>23744009what's the purpose of the reverse again
>>23744001You act like the vast majority of posts in this thread aren't just stand poses with weapons held neutrally.
>>23744020and theres nothing wrong with it
Why did Koto not make 1/144s of the old AC series kits.... Why won't anyone make them... Bandai please pick up AC4 and 4A NOW
>>23744020I copy all of my poses from the box or the anime
>>23744019
>>23744022you gotta make your kits do ballerina poses and splits otherwise all that articulation is wasted
>>23744022I agree, I just try to mix it up a bit to keep the shelves interesting.>>23744026Always a good choice, that's why I tried out this wallpaper for that first pose. Sadly doesn't work without the dramatic lighting.
How bad would it look to do a completely metallic mobile suit?
>>23744056Look at the silver Phenex and decide from there.
>>23744058It's a lot busier than what I'm planning. I'm considering doing this vigna ghina I bought completely silver.Varying shades of silver, without a lot of gloss.
Any monster kits? Do I have to look for action figures for monster diorama?
How do we feel about baldzeong?
>>23744060Depends on what you're looking for. Yugioh, Digimon, and Pokemon have model kits. Games like Warhammer 40k or Age of Sigmar have big ass monster models too.
>>23744059I think they made a extra finish edition of that kit. Should be a decent approximation.
>>23744066I feel like metallic is how it's supposed to look
>>23744068Of course, it's a girl's suit so it should be shiny like jewelry. Like the Zeta.
>>23744071
>>23744078Who are you? The Zeta belongs to Roux.
>>23744061>we thunderbolted ur zeon
The plan is to have a ton of shades of silver. I got a few pots of mr.color GX silvers on a nice sale at a local store.Everything will be some sort of metallic aside from the pipes. It will be very shiny and pretty I think.
>>23744082Roux? Isn't that a girl's name?
>>23744066That looks really cool. I've got HG Qubeley in my backlog, I think I'll paint it with that combo.>>23744132No, it's a soup name
Isnt there a limit on how much you can kitbash in gwbc?

>>23744148>>23744146HOLY FUCK GUNTANKCHADS
Should I get a MG Guntank
>>23744148>mg, pg, and mega size unicornkek
>>23744177It's a fun kit. Doesn't move much but it's good.
>>23744146there isnt, but chucking as many kits as you can for a diorama piece is the current meta in GBWC now. i missed the times where winners can win through sheer mastery of the craft that doesn't require you to spam many kits to make, but hey bandai encourages it because more kits = more money
>>23744183I like that you can see the pilot without having to open the cockpit
>>23744188If you put a glowing brain in there, it would have been a pretty neat living mecha entry.
>>23744188I don't as I would need to learn to miniature paint or hire a guy at the LGS to do it for me.>>23744184Someone will do this with the PGU Nu and Bandai will make them win.
>>23744146>>23744148What a really good build, I remember that it has opening storage bays on the front and it stored a gm.
>>23744188>>23744196I love looking at human figures next to giant robots, it gives you a big sense of scale
Do you topcoat Girlpla?
>>23744258cumcoat.
would it be kino if i kitbashed a hi xi
hi S
>>23741104Dunno how I ended up with this blue but I'll take it, and I think my shading is just subtle enough. Should be fine as it is.
>>23744295wear gloves nigga
>>23744305I ran out
>>23744001This pose is all you need.
>>23744315I don't agree with all this though it makes several good points. I think the most important thing is to consider movement in every area. The torso being aligned perfectly with the hips always looks robotic, having it canted even a couple degrees immediately makes any pose more natural, same with verticality. It says make an S with the hips and torso but it's more important that the torso simply be moving with some respect to the hips and the rest of the robot. Chest up high with hips low is a classic pose itself. Likewise, angling the arms inwards slightly at the bicep rotation tends to make it look more aggressive and shows off more angles of the arms from various poses. And angling the head up can look great if you're looking for an action pose, it all depends. The real thing is to just consider a little movement and posture with almost every point. A few degrees of offset here and there can make a ton of difference from a robotic lifeless pose to a natural looking one.
>>23744336Also, the angle of your camera shots makes a huge difference too. Poses can look incredible from certain angles and weird from the opposite. Finding the right shot composition is an art itself.
Is EcoPla just one big meme?
>>23744348no
>>23744348>recycle your own junk plastic>change the same amount even though it was cheaper to produce I think it's funny
>>23744351Ecopla costs more to produce. It costs more to recycle plastic than it does to make new plastic.
Don't mind me
new gourai soon
thoughts on arm lengthening? People seem to enjoy Katokimaxxing their kits but never really bother with the arms, I think some kits definitely would look better with longer arms.
MG G-Self... forgotten....
>>23744364good riddance
>>23744364No joke theyre probably saving it for Tomino's death. Not kidding at all
>>23744387they're just going to release the HG gundam tomino memorial edition on p-bandai

>>23744363I approve, long arms are peak mecha physique, especially if combined with skating posture.

>>23744537kotobukiya won
>>23744582They're exactly what they're billed as.Personally I think the Zowort's Tikbalang is the best subflight lifter you can grab in HG.
>>23744582Really, it depends on what you want out of your little toy robots. Yes, a stand is mandatory, but the Type 89 lets you attach two kits at once, so you can simulate a space assault force of Jegans or GM IIIs on their way to stop Axis.

>>23744500>"sale"Anon, they do this type of discount on the regular, it's just to encourage bulk buying. I bought my MGEX Kshatriya using the same deal last week, saved $20 on a $160 order.And to my experience, the vendors don't increase their prices since there's no point (again, these discounts happen regularly). If one or two try to sell for higher, there's another dozen or so who don't and they're the ones who move product.

I had to quit building after developing tinnitus because I simply can no longer relax enough to do it, but giving up on the hobby entirely feels like such a shameAny advice on how to cope and reduce the effects so I can engage with my hobby again?
>>23744850Do you build in silence? Put something on in the background to listen to
>>23744854If it was that mild it wouldn't be much of an issue, unfortunately nothing quite manages to drown the sound out, I can be walking next to a busy main road and still hear the ringing loud and clear
>>23744834>>23744836Its that bad? If its truly gonna be a kyoukai senki bomb then I look forward to discount kits for kitbash fodder like with the kyoukai senki weapon sets at least
>>23744863Damn dude that sucks, but you cant let it run your life. Build regardless, just accept its a part of your everyday life. I have with some mystery illness, I feel like shit all the time but still say fuck this, im going to do what i want and just accept it. Godspeed anon, ive heard there has been some new research that came out about things you can use/ take to make it more managable, google deep dive it.
>>23744537Looking forward to more OGm@ster kits. I hope we get Yayoi and Iori next.
>>23744878I did continue to build at first, the main reason I quit was that the constant, painful noise made me anxious and unable to slow down and focus, which in turn made me constantly make stupid mistakes and fuck up kits

>>23744976Good thing idler wheels sit at the very front of the tracks where the nubs can be hidden if you want to be an extra lazy faggot, pigments+diorama FX/dirt/mud/dust can hide it even more.
It's over.. my preorder on HLJ wan't fulfilled, I won't get my new Gustav Karl in time for the group build
>>23744936Yeah it should be like $600 and include the LEDs. Especially overseas where Bandai is still doing its 100 yen = 1 USD despite it being like 150 yen = 1 USD right now. Their distribution company is just adding massive markup at the moment.
Gonna buy a chink panel scriber. Is there any quality I should look out for, or do they all work the same?
>>23744966I love entering ntd and just tackling people with it
>>23744949Broke boy can't drop 650 lol
>>23745013Post your money
>>23745013I can, I just don't like overpaying.
Are we getting the chinkgod kino GM /gpg/?
The vigna ghina is painted. This thing is gonna benefit a lot from some washes and panel lining.There's three shades of silver on here and the only two you can see from the front dried the same color. The other one is just on some vents and the bottom of the feet. I think I like the silver a lot more than I liked the gray.
>>23744497i settled down for daban's ver ka for 32 bucks
>>23745022Oh wow, that was a quick job. Looks good at first glance. Shame the pink molded beam shields aren't UV reactive like the green ones.
>>23745035I thought about giving it a thin coat of fluorescent pink but it seems kinda pointless.
>>23745039I went and got some fluorescent orange for a recent build, and now I want to get the full set for visors/eyes. I heard if it's sprayed thinly it is semi transparent? At the very least, could do the insides of the clear parts and allow the plastic to color it when I'm not wanting to swap the color.
>>23745049I've really only used them for small opaque details like eyes. This would have been the first time ever using them for something larger.
>>23745017no
>>23745017this is tickling my missile pod fetish
>>23741104The decals haven't arrived yet. It's weird seeing it as it is without the head emblem.>>23745152Those are male missile pods. You're gay now.
>>23743648RFV designs are so goddamn impossibly ugly it's incredible. You couldn't come up with something more repulsive even if you tried.
>>23745191i agree insofar as it's literally just a zaku
What is the most expensive kit you have? Mine is either pg unicorn + lights or pgu
>>23745195mgex unicorn, but it wasn't that much since I bought it in korea (around jp retail + 10%)
>>23745195got scalped 60 bucks for the gundnode by a scummy local retail when i was fresh and innocent
>>23745199Is it more expensive than the pg?
>>23745201Was that base price + 60 from scalper or 60 in total
>>23745203nah 60 totalit was available at 30 on ali at the time but i didn't know better
you dont need painthttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/PntIq8aToCIthis guy is the RAY STUDIOS of snapgods
>>23745213mmm?
>>23745195Probably my 1/72 ZAP it's like $2000 on surugu-ya rn
TFW paid more than the base kit’s discounted price on bootleg DLC add-ons.
>>23745195I fomo'd and bought the big HG Dendrobium when a local store had it in stock. I did not get around to building it yet.
>>23745213He literally painted with colored markers there
>>23745195PG Unicorn, easily. I do have several big-ticket kits like PG 00 Raiser, MG Phenex Narrative and the Osiris Aerial Dominator (last one still coming through the mail), but the Unicorn is easily a $250+ kit.

selling all these models, show me an email or ask me for more photos here and I'll post them
>>23745272shoot me*
>>23745272Would be nice if you mentioned the grades.
nice!
>>23745276some of them have the grades in the name, but yeah, I didn't put grades in for every single one. Sorry about that, ask me about which one you're interested in and I'll let you know the grade.
>>23744871the first one was a okayish AC ripoffthe new one is an open world exosuit action "rpg"I played the demo and while the scavenging and suit making is nice, the combat was already getting repetitive and the world was fairly bare. Normally you want your demo to be a strong start to showoff and hook people, but by the end I was already feeling that monotonous burnout creeping invery much a buy on 50%+ sale kinda game
>>23745272Maybe you should make some mercari listings.
>CHINK KING CRAB! (Z'gok)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5TY4VYmnSE
I have pre ordered the new hg xi, the original head is honestly so much cooler than the traditional head
>>23745324>the original head is honestly so much cooler than the traditional headI can't figure out which is which.
>>23745321looks like shitthe visor, claws and general proportions are way too off modelall the goofy electronics can't save it

>>23741104Ground defense type zaku is coming along pretty nicely, dont like the paint so I´m probably redoing that, but Im happy with the mods
If anyone is thinking about getting the rg gaogaigar, DON'T. That kit made me come up with all new kinds of cursewords
>>23743745Started assembly on it. As always my hand brush technique lags behind my other ones. Although I think this time was partially me being over ambitious on how small I could paint with my brush.Color scheme worked better than I thought it would after painting the pieces. Nearly what I originally planned.
>>23745349looks like the helmet is full of poop
>>23745354Looks fine when it's lit up.
Fuck you Koto enough RUSTYSLOP and give me ARETHA
>>23744705I haven't gotten that far, so I've yet to see it in action>>23744729Wait what do you mean you can attach two kits, there's enough room for two? That actually sounds pretty comfy, two buddies being deployed to stop Axis
>>23744946My bad, meant road wheels.
it ain't much but it's honest work
>>23745361>>23745349And done with initial snapping. Happy with how the color scheme turned out, even if I have painting quality issues to work on. I might need to repaint the inner half of the right leg as I really let it lighten up right on the front edge. A few other under spray areas also. Really need to get a better light so I can notice this during the initial painting.
Where do you go for bootleg and third party kit news?
>>23745415This is pretty much just a bog standard GMIII that found a beam magnum. Need to finish the story, but he found it floating about after 0096 and after asking Anaheim about it, got told they don't make it, here is the maintenance manual, and how are you not blowing your arm off. He also started getting blackballed into more boring assignments afterwards as if he did something wrong. Which is why he is still in a GMIII and being sent to see what's going on with some "pirate" attacks near Mars in UC 115.
>>23745372There's two HG Base Jabber kits, the Unicorn version (the ones they use in the atmosphere that seat one and has a gun on the underside) and the Type 89 (the ones they use in space that are double-sided so you can put one MS on each side, or attach propellant tanks to the underside).As for the Tikbalang, it's stupidly well-designed for a sub-flight unit. It has retractable landing gear, movable nozzles, folding handles on the underside that fold flush to the hull, and adjustable footrests. The Base Jabbers are 2012-2013 kits and the Tikbalang is a 2023 kit, and the amount of engineering advancements they've made is very impressive. You almost feel sorry for the thing for being a WfM kit.
>>23744795>we didn't get anything for the first game, right?There was a Kotobukiya Radiant Gleam kit that was shown and never released.>weird they're doing it for the more exosuit oneProbably a combination of wanting to promote the newer game and not wanting to overlap too much with the AC kits. The powersuit designs might let them reuse some 30MF engineering for things like the limb connections.>>23745289>very much a buy on 50%+ sale kinda gameIncidentally the game is 50% off on Steam and Switch 2 eShop right now.
>>23745434>Incidentally the game is 50% off on Steamno it isn't
Was at my local brick and mortar today, and saw these. So they did it not only to the RG, but also to the HG.
>>23745424beam magnum would only work for one shot
>>23745444Before people complain about it, I implore you to remember it was the canadians who changed it and not the americans.
>>23745445Beam weapons don't have recoil. Don't believe Banagher's lies, he made the mechanic make the arm break so it looked cooler.
>>23745456they aren't lasers you dingusthey are flinging globs of ionized gas plasmawhatever gas is ionized still has the same mass as plasma as it did as mass
>>23745456It's because the beam magnum fires hire density particles.
>>23745460>as it did as mass*as it did as gas
>>23745460>>23745461Even so, it just works
>>23745465it doesn'tall canon is what is animatedGM arm will break without reinforcement
>>23745426I would have preferred Zeta or CCA ones but I don't think the Unicorn era ones are tremendously different apart from maybe color, having another buddy on the underside makes sense but looks a bit silly. I was leaning towards the Type 89, but you seem extremely impressed by the Tikbalang, which feels like such an odd thing to get with mostly UC kits in my collection.>landing gear that folds outWhat the fuck???
>>23745439Ah, my bad. Looks like the sale is Japan only.
Has anyone built the bootleg re/100 gundam mk.iii? It's looking pretty tempting for 20 bucks.I promise I'll buy a real one too once it gets a reprint.
>>23745467Even so...
>>23745345cute MiKu
>>23745195Nothing too crazy. But the price on the HG Beginning Gundam is pretty nuts for what it is; and I suppose I got a ZA Murasame Liger for a pretty good deal as well.
>>23745326original is tiny crab/insectnew is the more traditional gundam headthey'll probably drop a katoki version when movie 3 drops with the traditional blue
>>23745488single shot jim
HGUC when?
I know it's a giant freaking mech and not a human/living thing but thrusters on the crotch area and or the ass area of a mech seems so silly but those are logical spots for additional thrusters... I wanna make my group build seem super fast and I already got a good strong looking backpack, thrusters all over the legs but the back skirt/ass area seems empty and if I slap thrusters there, it's gonna look like a prolapse to me
>>23745500Even so, why haven't you considered Banagher is just using it wrong?
>>23745195This thing.
>>23745415>>23745424aesthetically I really like the choice of the beam magnum but lore-wise it would only get a single shot before breaking its arm
>>23745424>>23745415Have you considered bolting another arm to it?
>>23745525how the hell does that help
>>23745531Reinforces the joint and adds more mass to absorb recoil
Beam Magnum is not even close to a Buster Rifle for all the shit it requires
>>23745525>>23745513Missing the <<lore>> that Banagher is using it wrong. Or the replacement arm pulled off a GMI in a wreck yard was assembled above spec as it build by the military vs Anaheim.I am thinking of running with this "The brass hate him, so he probably has the last assigned GM in service and they send parts labeled for museum shipments" part.Also I don't have a spare HG GM or RX-78 kit to harvest. If I bought another for this, I'd get a Jegan for the shield, arm might work from that if I try?
I got married to a Jegan
>>23744937there's one review on youtube but it's clearly a paid shill so it's more like a commercial than a review but I guess I'll build mine and give you guys live updates once I'm done with my Moderoid Dita
>>23745554What are you having for dinner for the next few days btw
>>23745557I don't eat food I subsist entirely off the negative energy I cultivate from leaving inflammatory comments on right wing twitter/instagram/tiktok pages
Does anyone have in-hand photos of their panel-lined HGUC Gyan? I still haven't panel-lined mine because I thought it'd look nicer, even though I panel-lined everything else
>>23745487Coincidentally, one that I ordered from Ali arrived today, but I'm not planning to build it just yet since my backlog is so huge.
New thread>>23745632>>23745632>>23745632
>>23745468fwiw the anon you just replied to was someone else, I'm the person who originally suggested Tikbalang. It's just a really well designed kit of what it is. Yeah it'd be weird matching up with UC stuff, I was just throwing it out because it exists anyway and it's pretty easy to find.
>>23745290I appreciate the advice.
>>23745537above spec arm would still below spec of Mk IIsingle shot jim,you should reduce the e-pac stack to only one, because that's all it will get.>but banana used it wrongly!!!11!delta plus blowing up its arm also confirms your lore as debunkedstill remains as single shot jim
>>23747418>>23747419>>23747421ehh, they're OK. a bit too warframe from my taste
Thanks for your service.
