>>23766584Why are Japanese modelers like Savoryman, fullpla factory, crafta, plaban praising Nu gundam as masterpiece,while Korean modelers like dalong, gundamholic and plasmith are vocal and unhappy about Nu gundam's waist and consider it as cursed object like Giant RG sinanju and Giant Tristan?Why do Japanese modellers not give a shit about waist bend?

Does anyone have advice for smuggling plastic cement, paint, etc. through airplane security? Flammables are nominally forbidden but the TSA and co. are bums, or so I've heard. >anon what the fuckIt's so goddamn expensive outside of Japan it's unreal. 2-10 times the price and I have to suffer the out of stock hell loop anyway. I beg you, this is so fucking bad.>inb4 this post is read back to me as criminal evidence after I get pinched
>>23766649>It's so goddamn expensive outside of Japan it's unreal.Eh? Mr Hobby or Tamiya plastic cement cost equivalent of 5€ per bottle. Better yet, Tamiya airbrush cleaner is basically the same as their extra thin cement so it's even cheaper solution. Paints likewise, it's not some ultra expensive stuff to buy, holy shit. 2-2.5€ per bottle.
>>23766649At that point just look for a different hobby
>>23766649Can't you transport them via mail?
>>23766654>€How do you deal with not having any access to brands outside of Mr. Hobby and Tamiya? I see the kinds of paints that brands like Gaia and Jumpwind offer and just want to kmsAlmost tempted to just give up on mecha and switch to mini painting because of it desu
The Japanese are built different.
>>23766658just don't paint? lol
>>23766658i just use mr hobby and tamiya, it's that easy
>>23766658buy western brands and acrylics
>>23766662What if you need a color that Mr. Hobby and Tamiya don't sellOr actual good quality metallics or pearl paintsOr clear colors that are actually clear and not semi opaque like Mr Color clearsHaving only access to these two brands is unbelievably limiting
>>23766665Mr Hobby's metallic series is pretty nice
>>23766663Western lacquers are just rebottled industrial paints, they will craze plastic unless sprayed in 5-6 ultra light coats, they can't be sprayed in wet coats at all and have very rough matte finishes so you need to drown them in gloss clear to get a workable surface>acrylicsThe better availability of acrylics and oils is kind of why I'm considering just switching hobbies to begin with
>>23766665colors can be mixed. alclad is also available in europe for metallics. never had an issue with the clears.
Saw this thing at my local store for around 35bucks, is it worth the price? i know it is based on super old kit but design is very cool
>>23766670>mixedDepends, mixing muted/desaturated colors is easy, mixing something bright and vibrant is nearly impossible.A simple reality of subtractive color mixing.Mr Color's "pure pigment" CMY series helps there but even there they're behind Gaia since they have an equivalent line that's higher quality and with a wider variety of colors, as well as better fluorescent colors.>never had an issue with the clearsMr Color clear colors are pigment based while Gaia's are dye based, Mr Color switched to "clear" pigments for ease of use because dye based colors bleed easily if you aren't careful but they also lead to significantly reduced color depth since less of the undercoat shines through, and reduced contrast between shadow and highlight areas.
>>23766674Gaplant is one of those old kits that aged like milk. Unless you are a hardcore fan of the design, it is not worth the money.
>>23766674It's an old kit but solid in my book. The gigachad chin makes it cooler
>>23766674That should be the updated PB version which is pretty nice all in all.>>23766681Not really, it's a nice accurate kit with no major problems except lack of hands. The updated Hrairoo kit is just fine all around.
>>23766681How bad though? i am ok with poor articulation and you can easily fix all the miscolor with orange marker?
>>23766684Gaplant has half assed shoulders and they are supposed to be carry those huge arms. Unless you are gaslighting people into buying that shit then goodjob.
>>23766686only one gaplant comes with huge arms and the original has nothing but the shields to pose with which are just finethe posted version is the updated kit with updated shoulders
>>23766674It's the best gaplant because you get the booster pack at its most cheapest price.
>>23766685The articulation is servicable for an old kit, don't expect much. However, Gaplant has alot going on with its arm yet the shoulders are made of 2 floppy polycaps lol. If you spent 35 bucks on this then you just got scammed.
>>23766674I never noticed before that it has a Mk. V face like HZII
>>23766696because it's an Augusta machine. That head lineage is directly tied to the Augusta labs.>>23766695Gaplant's arms' holding power is fine on the original. I can't speak to the redesigned form. They support themselves fine. Also comes with a stand albeit not a great one, not like some of the other Z transformers.
>>23766698By fine, you mean sags after a few days.
>>23766699I'm sorry you keep fucking up your kits but I definitely do not mean that at all.
>>23766693So it is fully equipped like the old TR5 hrairo, i swear dalong has gotten lazy he doesnt include the hrairo pack in his review, i am mostly looking at schizophonic review now
>>23766703have you tried looking at the dalong review for more than like 2 seconds
>>23766658By using AK, Vallejo, TTC, ProAcryl, mentioned Tamiya and whatever I have access to because I actually paint things instead of wanking to muh Japanese Twitter Masters.

>>23766795it's better than being an HG (aside from availability). EX kits are fucking great.
>>23766801They do have a nice level of surface detail but in terms of build they're pretty much identical to HGs, no?
>>23766805They focus almost entirely on detailing and it shows. The whole line is ancient at this point but since they were basically all made as models without any pretense of colour accuracy or looking good without having to do shit to them their molding and construction is really good and they can sit side by side with anything released today and still look fine.

>>23766754I don't want chinkified spiky dinos with goofy wings. I want the real deal.
>>23766870I would just use panel liner if I had good topcoat on instead of micron markers. Microns cost more than a jar of panel liner too.

Testing out how the palette looks, pretty happy with it so far. In term of using Vallejo primer there are small places where the paint gets scratched off which didn't happen as much when using Aqueous primer, but it's something that can be fixed pretty easily
>>23766922Build was cool, don't tell me you never play pretend that your toy robots come to live like that. And I just think it's a cool stand.

>>23766598I'm stupid and posted in the last thread but finished up the V2 as my 5th gunpla ever and I was really happy with it, bought some various grit sanding sticks because the first 2 kits I built were just snap shat out of box (unicorn NT-D and Nu, both HG), I really love the V2 so I also got the wings of light to add to the both of them, and building these have been really fun for me too as a newbie
That was fun. But it felt like building 3 big HGs and one old MG. Not worth the scalper prices.
I found a PG wing zero custom for cheap so I ordered an SH studio upgrade kit for it. Still looking at Wich waterslides to get, figure out some led solution and it needs a base. Probably end up spending pgu rx-78 money on the whole thing but with the resin parts it looks way better.
>>23766988Also you can slap a this shit together and it holds up pretty well.
>>23766988Big butt
>>23766992How heavy are the wings?
>>23766714RG Lancelot
>>23766995The wingtips resting on the ground are what's keeping it Standing upright if that is what you ar asking. But the joints are strong enough to do the spread out and folded modes, only it really needs a base for those. Overall it's a cool kit but not Perfect as per perfect grade, in both construction and looks. I wanted one for a long time tho so I might as well do it some justice and make it look pretty.

Just built my first AB-7, but since it came with a kit it didn't have the full manual. What are all these extra parts for? They kinda look like all the spare mounting options like the AB-1/AB-2 have?

>>23767439Oh why didn't I think of that? I usually just go to Dalong and didn't think he had reviews of it. >>23767434I was just confirming what they were. I knew it was an AB-7 and said as such. They are just different than AB 1/2 as it looks like you swap the inner tilting part at the end instead of putting a piece on top of the existing one.
>>23767246you stupid motherfucker, i just wanted to know what kind of stupid guns the fucking plastic robot has.eat a dick
>>23766598I still need to build my Den'an-Gei. You guys think they'll do a RE/100 of the Javelin?
>>23767430As the other anon confirmed, they're parts for mounting other types of kits. For instance, those two curved pieces in the lower right are for gripping the kit by the hips in case it doesn't have any back or crotch holes to attach to, and several of those other pieces are for plugging into different types of holes for different types of kits.
>>23767468bandai just released leopard and d second so they're already approaching their quota of things to make me happy this year so probably not

>>23767886Bold of you to assume your custom will let it through.
>>23766598Finally Done.My 2nd time painting. very satisfied with the result. I've gotten quite used to thinning paint and airbrushing.New things I learned is that I should've gloss coated after paint since painted surface is rough, very difficult to clean panel line mess and slide decals. It was extra tough as this chinese decals from 2016 is beyond dogshit, very difficult to separate from the sheet.Also I should've bought C28 Steel instead of C339 Engine Gray for weapons and inner frame. Engine Gray is too light and looks too much like default grey runner.My next project is still months away from arriving, so I'll snap build some chinese kino in the meantime.

As usual, since my GB project is completed and got his litle gallery, I post link here, enjoy: https://sabi-sif.mb4.pl/gunpla-mg-rg-other/30mm-eexm-17j-akaitsuki-custom/Backpack looks cool and all but is way too heavy, making whole model harder to pose. Such is the fate of all those big-ass wing/booster accesories it seems, my Marchosias simply cannot hold straight posture but his wings are much heavier than that.Gotta say that Vallejo "Mecha Color" varnish is quite good - unlike AK one I tried, this one barely changes saturation, which is good. I didn't attempt to test the durability, however.
Also, I love what a little fluorescent paint can do. And monochrome filter in Darktable.

Help, I'm using waterslides again after like 2 years and I forgot how to use them. What is the correct way to apply them?
>>23767756There you are. I've always wondered who in the world could like those designs beside besides whoever created them
>>23768283>Bonus: apply gloss varnish first so they would slide easily and thus being easier to correct if placed slightly off (they will adhere to matte surface too, however)>prepare warm water, tweezers, decal setter solution, cotton tips and some tissue>soak decal for ~10 seconds in water, then take off, let it work>meanwhile apply some decal fix solution on the surface you will place decal on>gently try to move decal on paper with cotton tip - if it start to slide around you are good to go>place decal above surface with tweezers and gently slide it off with cotton tip>adjust position if necessary and gently squeeze out water/decal solution with use of cotton tip, trying not to rip it>let it dry>if you apply over non-flat area, use decal softener to make it flexible enough to attach to uneven surface
>>23768205Did you mean 'aberration?' Aberation isnt even a word you fucking retard
>>23768323Thanks. Can I skip topcoat afterwards if I use mark setter?
>>23768328if you don't care about the decals chipping off from light handling
>>23768328I would suggest not to, it's too easy to chip them off like >>23768332 said.

Do I need to get an apron when working on plastic models
>>23768360Yes and thighhighs. This is important!
>>23768368They're called thigh and calf protectors and they're essential for keeping plastic dust and shavings from being absorbed through your legs
>>23768382Do they protect from rogue hobby knives from falling outta your hand and slashing your thighs?

>>23768454any recommendations then? sounds like good background noise for chill snapbuilding sessions
>>23768443
>>23768460>any recommendations then?Ignore that dude. That FSM channel is the real shit if you want to learn something. If you want to figure out what kind of nail polish to match your skirt, then watch those wanna-be ecelebs that just shill products and snap build race for popularity contests. They are to be ignored, they thrive on attention.
>>23768460>any recommendations then?Koto's Arcanadea line has complementary ASMR
>>23768337I'm actually working on that gigantic Star Trek Enterprise model on his right in the intro. It is without a doubt the biggest piece of shit I've ever worked on. It's insanely expensive and of course I have the lighting kit as well. I swear it is an actual 1970s kit blown up to 1/350 scale. Feels more like woodworking than plastic modeling.
>>23768472Got any work in progress pics?
>>23768474Sure. So far I've done the major assemblies, coated the inside with primer, a few coats of flat black, then a spatter coat of chrome for refraction. Lightly airbrushed the windows with a white frost from the inside for refraction. First round of sanding (those nacelles had seamlines the entire length (probably 15" or so) on two sides each, a nightmare. So damn much putty and sanding. Getting ready to install the light kit, then prime, sand again, then paint. No idea how many hours in.
>>23768500oh yeah.. I masked all the windows. There are probably 200 windows each between the size of the head of a pin and 1/8" long.
>>23768507It will be glorious when done but the amount of work involved always helde back getting a light up Star Trek ship. Godspeed my dude and post pics when done.
>>23768442More like 15 or younger.
Do I still need to prime if the paint is just a metallic variant of the same color?
>>23768584Do you think the paint will adhere to the plastic without it?
>>23768528Thanks anon, I really appreciate it. I'm not sure if I'll finish or not. I just opened the lighting kit and all of the labels are so old they just fell off all the wiring. It's just spaghetti and even though they stated it was made without having to solder, it is clearly made to solder. Solid wires to braids, no heatshrink anywhere, it's bad. Without labeling it's about impossible (2 circuit boards and there's no protection on the boards, they warn that any swapped wire or short will fry it in the instructions.This was a gift so I felt obligated to suffer through it, but I may just move on. Even with sunken cost it doesn't feel worth it. I have a huge backlog of things I actually want to build/paint. I've heard polar lights has improved since they became 'Round 2' but this is a 15year old kit that was old tech when it was "new". Avoid.
>>23768584>>23768605The paint may adhere to it, but paint may look different depending on the base. If it's already a dark color it may look darker with no primer or a lighter base coat. It sucks but you have to be patient and just wait for stuff to dry. It's one of the first and best lessons you'll learn while building. Usually the longer you take with a piece the better it turns out. But waiting never gets easier.
>>23768584Metallic over the same color looks incredibly flat.
Paint mixer aquired
>>23766598Progress is slow on this one. It seems like the further I get into this the less the parts want to fit together. I fear the arms.
>>23766595I wasn't planning to enter this groupbuild because I had no grunts in the backlog to customize for it, but I have since bought a Moderoid Panhead that should count as a grunt and I have a small plinth that it fits nicely on. want to try whack it out over the next couple weekends since I'll have time but I already have 2 WIPS i should finish first. hmmmn
Are the preorder dates on USA Gundam Store real or did they pull them out of their ass? Looking at the MG Alex.
>>23768751MG alex isn't a high demand kit. I wouldn't bother with a preorder,
>>23768751They're a lot shakier than they would care to admit. Every pre-order I've bought from them has ended up delayed, but they have always honored every single one. If you're just going to buy kits to add to a box fort, then it isn't a big deal, but if it's something that you want to build ASAP then it might be worth trying to find elsewhere.In your case, the MG Alex 2.0 should get stocked at Hobby Lobby every now and then. It's part of the same "batch" as MG F91 2.0 in that they get a shipment every other month or so and it gets snapped up quickly, so it may be in your best interest to find an assistant manager there and ask what day their restocks come in so that you have a better chance of snagging one.
>>23766598Enjoying working on this guy, but holy shit so many stickers. Pretty sure the main suit from GQux had fewer. At least most are behind clear plastic.
>fix the section where the paint got pulled off>remove the masking on the areas surrounding it>paint peeled off there I literally don't know what the fuck happened to the parts while I had it stored away last month when I worked on my Schwarzette. Pretty sure I had these washed with dishwashing detergent and thoroughly rinsed so what the fuck contaminated my plastic surface?
Hello there /gpg/! With only a month remaining in the Ace Custom Groupbuild, how's everyone doing with their entries?
>>23768904PFF HAHAHA extend please
>>23768904Once I fill in some gaps, he will be ready to paint.
>>23768904I was doing some casting on some of the P-Bandai builders parts so I could duplicate a weapon prior to actually starting the build, but my dog died last week and I'm too distraught to sad the project so I'm sitting this build out.
>>23768904Bitches don't care about my beam magnum, but /gpg/ does. Just need to take some pictures, but I wasn't going for something high-effort so it shouldn't be a surprise I'm done a bit early.
>>23768932>Jimbo undergoing beam magnum wrist droopinationwe told you dog
>>23768932Thats a cool replica beam magnum
Fuck it. I bought a rebranded TC-20T with a tank and an included airbrush. It's good for now. I just hope this WWIII scare won't worsen before I can start airbrushing.
>ordered a batch of waterslides from Delpi>the flight literally went from Korea to Alaska to Tennessee and is now coming back west...How is that the most efficient path of travel?
I hope they'll go directly to Heavyarms EW after this.In fact, they shouldn't have started with this in the first place. Nobody cares about Sandrock.
>>23768994The pilot wanted to do a sick loop first.
>>23769023They should milk it more by releasing HG Scheherazade Prelude
>>23769023I like Sandrock.
Where is the kit Bandai
>>23768246Great to see it come alive with some posing.
>>23768904It's too cold to fucking spray and I'm struggling to do the customizations I want. I don't think I'll make the deadline but since its my first full custom and I've wanted to make it for years I'm still gonna finish it and post it here
>>23769023I care about Sandrock
>>23767987it depends on the size. if you have a big boy compressor you can fill your tires, power air tools, and run a media blast cabinet. there are even air powered paint shakers.
>>23768922I'm sorry anon.

>>23769099Been for a while. There's Noel plamo from either koto or goodsmile iircSo what can we expect from this aside from a couple of song covers? HG Xi or GQuux gundam in Suisei colors and a bunch of acrylic stands with vtubers dressed as GQuux characters?
>>23769099>>23769103I think Im more upset its not girlpla announcement with 30minsis and if its about kits, it'll be about recolouurs
>>23769103non zero chance we'll get a hololive recolor of a gunpla, like what they did with the Miku collabs.
>>23769103Even something as big as Miku got a lazy Zaku recolor. I don't think Vtubers are gonna get their own girpla.
>>23769099just give me pekora already.
The backpack alone is worth more than the geara douga itself.

>>2376903930mm AC is dead
>>23769176Bandai should move on and make 30MM ACV/D kits.
>>23769176Whaddya mean by that?
>>23769194This guy screams AC 4/FA style, I love it so much. Also, funny how the "third faction" from 30MM lore always have most diverse machines and at that, whole different than other two. Earth Alliance and Bylon (Bailon?) forces are much more grounded up while Maxion have literal 18m tall robo-waifus, samurai larpers next riot gear soldiers and robo-horses.
>>23769099I hope it's a Suisei version recolour of something, I'll buy it
>>23768994Tennessee is probably a hub for them. You do realize you envelope isn't just sitting in its own seat on a plane right?
>>23769197Alto is GM, Portanova is Zaku and Spinatio is Gundam.
>>23769180AC6 has flavour of the month factor. Bandai is not gonna make kits for a game that tanked the franchise.
All Bandai needs to do to revive interest in AC is MG White Glint (Line Ark)
>>23768678Put your balls on it
To no one's surprise, RG Astray Red Dragon can't handle the weight. https://x.com/shinseto1982/status/2028406569134915718
>>23769262>prebuilt framefucking LOL
>>23769262Is this third party or bandai? Either way, bandai has been dropping the ball hard lately on not giving a shit if their model kits can actually model kit.
Chang proves once again that Bandai fell off
>>23769267Bandai, because it uses the original RG Astray with Advanced MS Joint.
>>23769262so what large swords are made to be actually be posed held up?its probably the biggest reason why I avoid gundam shit
>>23769272Crazy that you posted a picture with the solution and still got mad about gundams for some reason
>>23769272All of them. You just gotta use the stand like on the picture
>>23769272None, that's why huge oversized weapons are just fucking stupid.
I don't give a fuck
>>23769272>>23769276Hand built ABS joint can handle thicc sword. Sadly Bandai doesn't use ABS for 1/144 kits and RG's premade ABS frame is just dogwater.
Sword Impulse is the only RG that can hold a large sword with a single arm
>>23769291Does Epyon count?
>>23769272is this that Sophia F. Shirling
>>23769291Not quite RG but
>>23769328>promotional shots of chinkshitlol

ho lee fuk
>>23769466Need something next to it for reference
>>23769465What about it?
>>23769272PG OO and/or Seven Sword, but it kinda cheats with the locking mechanism
Is the ZZ Gundam Ver. Ka a good ver.ka to start with? Also my local shop (I won’t say where) had like three Enhanced ZZ Gundam (I didn’t ask for price.)
>>23769508Any of them are good ones to start with, sure. The skills you need don't change.
>>23769474The swords in hand are ~30 cm.
>>23769508Enhanced ZZ is hardly different than the normal ZZ
>>23769512It's cooler in every single way it changes things however
>>23769513I'm just not sure it'd be worth the money for a new builder who probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference
>>23769513Especially the GM green
>>23769516He's not a new builder, he just hasn't done a MG Katoki kit before.
why didnt anyone tell me that theres already bootlegs of Koto Rockman kits?
>>23769508I don't think there's ever a reason to differentiate ver ka unless you're talking about design alone. They're just MGs.
>>23769541>They're just MGs.no, they have more parts, they are premium mg, close to what 1/100 rg would be
>>23769544>they have more partsnot really, noball ver ka?RX-78 ver ka?Sinanju?Wing?all very standard parts counts, even in comparison to their contemporary releases.
>>23769544They have no more parts or really anything very unusual compared to any contemporary kitsThe only thing they really have is waterslides and being personally designed by Katoki (which means sometimes unique engineering/construction but nothing insane) and usually being entirely new molds.
>>23769530I don't buy Megaman kits let alone bootlegs.
>>23769541A lot of the time they have some pretty novel engineering.
>>23769544Damn, we got Bandai marketing team in here
On that note, are any of the ver.ka kits actually bad/poorly engineered?
>>23769560The Crossbones aren't that great at all and I wouldn't recommend them, probably the only ones. The 78-2 ver KA is old but it was fine for its time. The Crossbones weren't very great even on release.The V is fiddly and kinda weak but at least it's for a good reason.
>>23769560The original Red Sinanju had really bad hip pegs that broke all the time, but that was an issue of the material used. The OVA Red Sinanju uses the exact same molds but with stronger material so that issue is gone.The original Unicorn had the worst knees of any MG kit to exist, like I'm pretty sure that even the original 1995 MG Gundam had better motion range in its legs. It also had almost zero hip range due to the rear skirt armor literally cockblocking the torso twist, and no molded vulcans. All of these were fixed in the OVA Unicorn, and the knee fixes were eventually back-patched to all Unicorn-type kits, but the original Unicorn, and all Banshee and Phenex kits, still suffer from the rear skirt armor and vulcan issues.The Victories have a wide range of issues, and just like any transforming kit you want to keep it in one mode and never change it. Most people are willing to forgive these though since it's a Late UC transforming kit, which makes it an engineering nightmare, they did the best they could with what they had at the time.Zoltan's White Sinanju from 2019 isn't "technically" a Katoki kit by label, but he was still responsible for the engineering of the Red Sinanju and the original White Sinanju, so I would say that it counts. Engineering-wise it's not bad, but it does have a bunch of unforced errors such as lack of color-colded Sleeves parts (it's a fucking MG kit, why are we still using stickers for it) and no Zoltan figurine. All of this was fixed for the 2024 White Sinanju kit, so this was more of an example of Bandai forcing us to buy an entirely new kit to fix what they fucked up.
Starting on an RG Cross Bone. From what I've heard, this dude is going to be TINY, and it'll be funny to pose him right next to my HG Xi knowing they're the same scale.
>>23769579>next toone of the first things I did when I got mine was have it ride the Penelopeit's a hilarious difference of size
>>23769572I refuse to believe that this isnt an LLM.
>>23769588You only think that because you're a twitter-brained retard
>>23769590Nope nice try bot.
>>23769609
>>23769107They could've at least given ziku two shoulder shields to mimic the pihlgtails.
>>23769107Speaking of which, what are the odds those will get restocked any time soon? Both sold out nearly instantly
so it seems like size wise its BB senshi > SDCS > SDEX? my BB sinanju seems to be scaled a bit bigger than my MGSDs, at least head wise. can anyone tell me if SDCS or SDEX is the closer one to MGSD?
>>23766598This thing was profoundly satisfying to build. Pretty much nothing fits together well and all the work it took to make it work is fun. All that's left now is the swords and decals.
>>23769272the model kit of Guts holds his sword better than the action figure version

>>23766714Completely unironicallyA new zam please
>>23769611omg is that real?
>>23769611No way. There's no fucking way.
How do you even panel line dark colors like black, dark grey, dark blue, etc.
>>23769690I use silver or white but not everybody likes the way it looks
>>23769690Try brown or silver.
>>23766714Throw a few new Barbatos and Astrays on the MG production line.
>>23766714MG Gundam Marchosias just fucking DO IT
>>23769560Hi Nu ver Ka is probably the worst one. Sinanju, Unicorn and most of the older ones like EW Wing can't hold their weapons. Katoki was just unfit for the job to be honest.
>>23769690This is why you should never use solid black as a main color, even for suits that are actually meant to be black.
>more Nu FF>more Clear Colors>more Recirculation Colors>more Special Coatings

>>23769773It's always the same shit every time.
>>23769773But anon, we don't have enough Nu Gundams.
My room has no space for a paint booth. Is it over for me? Must I watch for the weather again after getting an airbrush?
I'm done snapshidding the red lobster. Not gonna build the gun. Im tired. Maybe I'll paint it soon but idk how soon

>>23769267Chinks are currently downscaling this to a 1/144 HG instead.
Think they finna reprint the messer from the first movie around the release of the new one? I kinda like it better
>>23766598still slowly chipping away at my Nu HWS
>>23769836They can keep this.
>>23769840They did. Under the name "Mine Layer type". Same kit, just with extra stuff.
>>23766598It's complete. I will never complain about the engineering in gunpla again.
Why do uncs love big backpacks so much?
>>23769864This is a statue. Better alternate than a spaghetti.
>>23769866It actually does come with alternate parts for the legs if you don't want them to articulate at all.
yaranaika? my local hobby store got a shipment of reprint V Gundam, and its only 50USD. should i take the plunge or still wait for the V-dash for god knows how long it will take to get here?
Top unc-magnet MS:1. Strike Freedom2. Astray Red Dragon3. Nu4. Wing Zero5. Hi-Nu
>>23769869You could have both
>>23769869The V-Dash kit is basically just the regular Victory and Core Booster kits combined, but without the extra Action Base. So technically, buying them separately gets you a bit more stuff.That being said, you want to not transform this thing if you can, because it is pretty damn fragile. And for that reason, if you just want it in MS mode all the time the Action Base is optional and you can just buy the V-Dash package.
The 30cm Mazinkaiser kit got delayed.
Excuse me? 1/144 Zyklon?
>>23769773This is obviously a Gundam base excess stock drop. It shouldn't be a surprise
>>23769869I bought 2. The overhang pack, skirts, and long beam rifle are the most fiddly parts of the kit anyway.
>>23769907I forgot to add - the V-Dash also encourages you to build 4x core fighters instead of 2x.
>>23769900Shiek Mainland kits are small.
>>23769908You get 4 Core Fighters total no matter what, the base kit comes with two and so does the Core Booster kit.
>>23769847Why are you orange

>>23769912Anon is the one that's been sapping Donald Trump's life force, which is why he keeps having to put makeup on the backs of his hands and also why he recently got that rash on his neck.
>>23769900Nice skirt, bro
>>23769811Sure, have one that I partially painted and gave up halfway through. I'll finish it eventually
>>23769810How is it? I heard there was fitting issues and incorrect instructions
>>23769638Based fss poster!
>>23769970The fitting issues are extremely easy to fix with a little glue and yeah the instructions are straight up wrong in some spots, mainly the butt thrusters. They just mirrored the instructions for the left cheek in photoshop (probably to save time or some dumb shit) and didnt bother to check to see that its physically impossible to arrange. It's really easy to work around though you just gotta flip the image in your head

>>23769797No room to store it or no room to set it up? I'm also kind of short on space and that thing is way bulkier than I expected, but I just shoved its box in a corner and will clear my kitchen table for painting when using it.
I bought the wrong one damn. What even is "milky" consistency anyway?
>>23770059Dip a toothpick into a glass of milk and pull it out. You want your paint to be the same consistency.
>>23770059Hope they have chocolate flavour
>>23770059Paint your finger, it's the right consistency if you get the colour you want and also see your fingerprint.
MG Narrative bootleg
>>23770059none of the consistency advices work, you unironically have to just feel it, which happens eventually with experience
>>23770079Narrative Ver Ka makes me wish for a RG Narrative. Would love to have this guy with better engineering.

>>23769900>Zyklon (B
Srungle fucks. https://youtu.be/6_1ANCJ8kwc
>>23769911My point was to skip the core booster pack in either form.
>>23770107The narrative ver.ka has excellent engineering though
Should i get this big boi since i dont see bandai releasing a HG revive in maybe 10 years. It is a sticker fest but marker/brush + toothpick is enough to fix any miscolor problem
>>23770147Reasonable chance of an RG within that time honestly but the HGUC is a generally good mold overall so whatever issues it has I'd still get it.and just fix it. I've got the MG and I would really not recommend it.
>>23770145Too big. The kit is taller than MG Unicorn, which is ridiculous.
>>23770157The narrative is taller than normal mode unicorn and is a bit shorter than destroy mode. What's the problem?
>>23770157why are you lying>21m vs 21,7mlooks ok to me
>>23770159Thank you for posting this. I was digging my full armor unicorn off a shelf to do this.
>>23770115I feel the same about seed
>>23769810>>23769969retarded question but there's no way a Hrududu II could fit on this, right?
>>23770159>>23770158You can make Narrative looks slightly bigger using the skirt's height mod.
>>23769864This rapes btw. Nicely done
>>23770193Thank you. I also have a terror mirage that just arrived.>>23770191But why would you do that if you don't want it to be that tall?
This thing can't hold it's gun up for shit. It's so floppy.>>23770166It can but you'd need to use the entire Woundwort or Hyzenthlay shoulders since there's no place to attach it to
>>23769511Damn, sounds like a good centerpiece
Should I go for 0.1 scriber or 0.15 one for 144 kits?
>>23770202I look like this IRL
>>23766598I finished painting all the parts for the Forbidden Gundam. I also started painting in the smaller details.
I presented my pro modeler 4years-plan to my parents and they beat the shit out of me wtf
>>23770290You were supposed to explain about your sugar mom to them first.
Would it be so bad if I decaled on matte coat instead of gloss?
>>23770315The decal will silver pretty badly on matte topcoat unless you use mark setter.
Daban zeta
>>23770147If you're in the GTA I can give you mine for free
I've bought all of the kits that I want. Now I have the rest of the year to build and paint to my hearts content.
>>23765393This is the most amazing thing I've seen in my life, and I've already seen the Gyan
>>23770364in case it's not completely clear it stores the bit mobile suits inside its ass containersit's a cool fatty to fight a giga the o
>>23770378I did not know that, oh how I would adore seeing one in action>giga the oIs that the one from that mobage, where it's Char and Haman and all the Gundam protags all together
>>23768932Can it handle having a beam magnum due to its psychoframe?
>>23770332NTA but I'm in the GTAOr is this just a gay joke again
What exactly is this?
>>23770396Tabletop shit with minis
Dalong changed... Souless...
>>23770396Miniatures, somewhat bigger than your typical 28mm scale but comparable. So far we know that Bandai decided to make them participate in 3v3 games rather than large scale battles, for whatever reason. Time will tell if their system will work (probably want to avoid typical problem of "whoever moves first wins").
>>23770396>we want wartroon audience
>>23770409Would be cool for vehicle and ship 2bqh
>>23770409>obsessed
>>23770404It will be hard to get in the first place and then due to scalping/Bandai being Bandai the expansions will be even harder to get and then it will peter out and quietly be discontinued because 'it does not sell well enough'
mansplaining gunpla to warhammer shawties
>>23770386I have one in my boxwall I impulse bought and then picked up the solomon gp02 so I really don't need it
>>23770416One wargamer uses more paint and glue in a month than the whole of /gpg combined in a year so not sure what you have to brag about mr. hobbylet
>>23770383No, it can because of the suits moral integrity, just like the Gera Doga, Jegan, and Nu Gundam. Or because OYW designers knew newbie pilots would trip all the time and way over built the arms.
>>23770419>it takes more paint to do a hideously overpriced 1 inch figure than it does to do a mecha modellol
>>23770419Yeah, they have to sniff that much glue and paint all the time to willingly get reamed by James.
>>23770424>>23770425>>23770416Besides both being plastic model kits it's not even remotely the same hobby so I don't get the is Gunpla better than Warhammer thing. It is just influencers latching on the next hype in an effort to stay relevant.
>>23770419yeah? well i really doubt they know as much zeon ms design history as menothing personel
>>23770417Wait is this for real
>>23770432People look down on warhammer because it's expensive and the actual plastic models are incredibly primitive. Even the paints are overpriced.
i'll laugh warhammer fags out of the hobby for not using japanese lacquers
>>23770422I keep forgetting about the moral integrity aspect of mobile suit design
>>23770441Japanese paints are inherently superior to western paints on the virtue that they are Japanese
>>23770379>Is that the one from that mobage*laughs in Kondo* No.
>>23770474
i am mad i bought a 0.5mm needle kit for my airbrush and it wont fit on it.now all my plans have been ruined.
>>23770443It was imparted by trying to save the Earth from an asteroid. Char was just helping AE out to get their new gun idea working. They later figured out they could just link it to mythology and it would work, whoops on almost destroying Earth, but the science wasn't settled.
I honestly don't see a problem with painting both miniatures and scale models. I recently painted some scale models and 3D prints along with usual Gunpla and various manufacturers miniatures. Plastic is plastic (in case of Corvus Belli - metal but still).
>>23770494I'm learning so much more every day
>>237702240.15 is fine for 1/144 and can be used on 1/100 as well. If it’s a smaller kit like victory 1/144, 0.1 would be closer to the original panel lines but, for most kits, 0.15 blends in.
Why can I make the Zeta's guns longerIt's a fun gimmick but what am I accomplishing here
>>23770514Select fire or something, don't think about it too hard
