Haven't made a kit in years, building a Zaku 2 2.0, finished painting all the armor pieces and decide to just do a flat dark grey for the inner frame. After drying I go to move the elbow joints to paint the previously unexposed parts and the dried paint just scrapes off the moving pieces like it's still wet. Guess that's one way to remember to leave the frame unless you don't plan to change poses.

I figure one if you might know. I fell in love with the ideon design. There seems to be only a few limited plamo kits for it but is there any chinkpla for it?
>>23803808
>>23803767>>23803756That's because it looks really nice out of the black light
>>23803814I dunno about plastic, but garage kits are easy to find.
>>23803819Are gks for mech harder than normal gks? The thought is kind of daunting, having to pin hundreds of pieces together
>>23803825Way easier in my opinion, no skin tone or eyes to hand paint. I build a couple GK of FSS kits and they were easier than IMS. Lot of masking but that's it.
>>23803743>>23803758>the woman
>>23803825You only pin structural and heavy parts. Most of the parts can be super glued without any issues.
>>23803828>>23803832Thanks anons. I looked at a sazabi one once and got a little scared off by how many parts it had. Maybe I'll look into the gks again
>>23803836Don't start with a Sazabi, start with a blocky super robot instead. They are cheaper and more entry level.
start with whatever you find cool
>>23803847i think ur cool

>>23803878Iove this one as well. I wish I was brave enough to air brush some of my kits

>priming grey on light colorman, I can never tell whether it's been fully painted or not, the light's always playing tricks on my eyes.my next project is an all-white gunpla. is it better to just prime it with black?
>>23804569>my next project is an all-white gunplaOof. I did that once and I never want to do that again. Light colors sucks and white is the worst of the worst.

Let me guess... he did a 0.0000001mm height lengthening surgery on it
>>23804569It's always good idea to go up from some blue-gray, light grey, white grey to white so I don't see the problem here.
>>23804571And what if he don't have waterslides available?
>>23804569I use black primer for white paint. If you can get your hands on gaia primers they do primers of every color, I heard the blue one is nice for white paint
>>23804571hand painting doesn't count
>>23804573>It's always good idea to [waste needless time, money and effort on extra 69 layers of paint]no
Is 20 CAD good for the HG Hi-ZackIt's an older kit but I don't have many Titans kits, my Barzam requires a friend
>>23804581Yes. You can talk to actual scale modellers, gradually building up color is way to go, especially if you paint white or other low coverage light shades. Military green with layer of olive green for a tank might work, yellow or white will need more work than that.
>>23804578Every japanese youtuber I watch seems to use Gaia notes, but only Mr.Color and Valejo are accessible in my cunt.
>>23804586Mr color has pink and brown primers, you can try those if you don't want to use black
>>23804582For a 2000 mold, you probably won't have a good time, but $20 CAD is pretty cheap so I'd say go for it.
>>23804586Then use what you have. Or Tamiya if you want lacquer primer, that company is available everywhere. Why you have to blindly follow every Japanese guy, instead of doing what they do - use locally available stuff?
>>23804582If you can deal with bad seamline placement then go for it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GYi8VpFkUwwatch a rabbit do /gpg/ things
>>23804590>>23804593The seamlines are very unfortunate, but something about the design is endearing, and I'm running out of $20 kits to get. I'm not sure if the plastic for the tubes will handle pour-type markers, but worst-case I can just ignore them. It's just a stupid Zaku but something about the design seems to plead "pick me, I'm doing my best too!"Is the Marasai basically the same quality as well? Iirc its seam lines were identically unfortunate, it's a few dollars more though.
>>23803713RG Barbatos
>>23804602Marasai looks pretty decent.

>>23804885
>>23804871God damn, it is going to be Nobel after all...
>>23804891I guess because the RG God Gundam was released and bandai is trying to get people to do the poses. Too bad those retards at bandai didn't release them simultaneously to get more people to double dip.
>>23804891Nobel is cute so a RG nobel would kick ass.
>>23804908I wonder how will they tackle Nobel's innerframe if real. She is even smaller than God Gundam.
>>23804914Well, she doesn't have any opening gimmicks like God so she doesn't need an elaborate frame. The selling point would be the hair articulation
>>23804576>>23804883>>23804887All this talk about decals and no Delphi Anon showing up to shill his product? I hope he did not got his organs harvested for not making enough sales in here.
>>23804770It took her 5 and a half hours to build the thing.
>>23804939You are still seething over someone recommending a waterslide brand? And not seething over the anons repping Gaia/Kinonotes? This is a fucking consumption based hobby, expect recommendations.
I can't believe groupbuild dude is fucking DEAD
>>23804951yeah that's a long time but she was probably distracted by 100 autismos talking to her at the same time
>>23804951Nice! Keep us posted!
>>23804951Sounds about right for someone distracted by chat + speaking entertainingly while building. Also I doubt she is like Zack who pre-snips/trims/sands all the parts before the stream and just does assembly.
>>23804939Nah, I just didn't care to comment on it since buying from Delpi's website is only really worth it if you're going to bulk-buy for your backlog. For small individual kits, you're honestly better off searching on Ali since there are easier ways to circumvent getting raped by shipping.Also, HG kits just generally aren't worth putting the money into watersliding, unless they're mobile armor sized.
>>23804955>yeah that's a long time That's pretty normal for a kit of that era. The polycaps really slow things down. I remember building Doven Wolf and it took me like 4 hours.
>>23804953I am making some mild fun of him, I am not seething, anon. Not everything in here is said in anger/mockery. Delphi Anon is part of /gpg and sometimes he has an bot like quality to pop up when waterslides are mentioned so it feels empty of he does not.>>23804959You are alive, praise be on Plamor! And fair, I got some of their decals by now and they are good (thank you for the recommendation) but I got them of ebay because I did not need a whole stack.
>>23804965>The polycaps really slow things downHow?
>>23804965>Soft parts that you cut out with two snips and are instantly ready to assemble really slow things down???
>>23804672Why do people that owns cats can't do well in this hobby?
>>23804970They are finnicky and you can't speedrun the assembly like modern HGs.
>>23804981Yes. I have much faster building time with full KPS kits.
>>23804763Dude dont talk about him if tronny mod finds out it will ban you 3 days.
>>23804954currently getting seduced by the extenders, ThighsAnon is one of them
>>23804985I have never been slowed down by a polycap. There's something wrong with you.
>>23804921Beserker system
>>23804990The thing is that i blast through KPS HGs. 3 kits a day if i'm in the mood. With polycaps, i have to slow down and gently pushing them in place to avoid damage.
>>23804997I think you're lying
>>23804982my cats have never knocked stuff off shelves or pissed in my waterslides, but one of their hairs always ends up in my paintjob
>>23804993Does it actually change anything on the suit other than hair splitting and color?

A member of the 14th MS Team, Nathaniel G's custom GM striker comes equipped with a GM Sniper II's reactor and backpack for space use. His lore is that he's part of the Zeon remnant cleanup operation and favors close range combat.

>Bandai reprinting the RE/100It's finally time.
Radiant Force Unit #03, Sturm Gallus (Hibiki Custom). An alt verse where the Symphogears pilot giant robots instead of being mahou shoujo. Zesshou Mode is just the addition of the backpack thrusters and propellant tanks to enable Hibki to punch faster and harder.
The Langstrump ("Longstocking") sports tall human-like legs with powerful thighs to accomodate fencing footwork. Its pilot, Natacha Zhen, a swordplay maniac whose combat philosophy is to win with a single strike, always aims for surgical thrusts and slashes to the cockpit.The flight unit enables deft evasion while scouting for opportunity, and its burst thrusters allows for high velolicty lunges. To maintain mobility, the suit is equipped with extra light armor plating and uses a shield mostly to parry melee attacks and create openings, it cannot sustain concentrated fire.Zhen's vast sword techniques repertoire goes from French escrime to comprehensive kenjutsu. The Langstrump's scabbard units can launch the stored hilts like missiles- if the suit is holding the handles during the burst and activates the blades with the right timing, it can unleash a devastating iai assault.
>>23805082Now that's some good shit
When the Byron invasion began to drag on, the Earth Alliance welcomed any volunteer into its ranks, regardless of background, ethnicity or age. Yet when Hiroki Hojo, well past the years most soldiers were quietly retired, answered the call, he was met with skepticism. On the battlefield, however, he defied expectations. Demonstrating uncanny spatial awareness and impeccable timing, he consistently outperformed younger pilots in close-quarters engagements. In environments where long-range systems were compromised, like dense urban zones or debris fields, he would close distance with precision, disabling enemy units with minimal collateral damage. His combat style was described by squadmates as “deliberate, almost ceremonial,” yet ruthlessly effective. Backed by an exceptional combat record, high command authorized a dedicated customization program, resulting in a heavily modified unit tailored to his philosophy.The result was the eEXM-17J, later christened “Akaitsuki”, “The Red Moon”, by its pilot, designed for for brutal, high-speed close-range combat. Relatively lightly armored, save for its massive samurai-inspired shoulder plates where it proudly bears the historical Hojo clan mon alongside pilot personal crest. Massive thrusters, previously used on Alto Flight Type model and further modified with additional units, grant extreme mobility, but render the unit dangerously unstable and nearly impossible to operate for anyone other than its designated pilot. The head unit has been enhanced with advanced radar and optical systems, improving battlefield awareness during high-speed engagements. Its primary weapon is an enormous blade, nearly the length of the machine itself, wielded with terrifying precision and striking fear into any unit forced into close combat. Despite his disdain for ranged warfare, Hiroki reluctantly accepted a compact plasma rifle mounted beneath a support shield, used primarily for suppression and disruption while closing distance.
Lt. "Dirty" Richard became an ace during the second Neo-Zeon war piloting a GMIII that was one of the "lucky" upgraded units, converted all the way from a GM used in the OYW. He was known for making surprisingly accurate long range fire with the default GMIII beam spray gun. Early in UC0093, he got on an Admiral's shitlist after he tapped and ghosted the Admiral's red headed daughter. This left him stuck assigned to a GMIII long after Jegans were rolled out to the vast majority of the Earth forces. Then in 0097, he found a Beam Magnum floating around in some debris he was in charge of cleaning up. After using it to defeat a few pirates, his maintenance chief sent a message to AE for the manuals since it had their serial numbers on it. He was told, "No idea what that is, we never made it," and, "How did you not blow your arm off?" and "Here is the manual for fixing it and some spare parts."It also seemingly placed Richard on an even blacker list, as his retirement paperwork was never processed. He had to keep using the GMIII, even through UC 0115 where he is now being sent on a patrol mission around Mars to clear out supposed pirates messing with the energy fleet. His GM is now so ancient that it is older than most of the maintenance crew and suspiciously there are museum inventory stickers on some of the parts he has gotten recently...
A heavily modified GM Light Armor incorporating technology from the original GM Night Seeker. This Night Seeker II was assigned to the 033rd Special Missions MS Squadron and was involved in numerous raids on Zeonic facilities during the OYW. Given the sensitive nature of the unit's mission, there is little public information on the members of the 033rd. However there are rumors that suggest that the unit may be home to several "unofficial" aces given the unit's ability to suppress bases with ruthless efficiency.
The MS06V-AA Zaku tank "Thin Lizzy" piloted by Captain Herman Lazarous A rotund man who leads from the rear as any well to do military man does his Zaku is kitted out for almost exclusively anti-air duties but unsurprisingly quad linked long barreled Zaku 120mm machine guns will a number on a unsuspecting GM, His men being useless conscripted reprobates frequently graffiti "feds get the treads" after witnessing countless war crimes of said nature as some form of coping mechanism.Herman himself likes to think of the 7 designation as a target and once he gets to 7 GM kills (currently at 5) he will commission heavier artillery for it
Girard Carranza, Gjallarhorn's infamous Pirate Hunter, operates a high-spec version of the now widely adopted Reginlaze. This version emphasizes mobility to accommodate Girard's eclectic style of swordfighting. An unwary foe caught in the path of its rare metal sword risks having their machine's frame itself cut to pieces. Its gauntlets can be used to block heavy blows, or as back up weapons if the rare metal sword is not an option. A 150mm shotgun is part of Girard's preferred loadout for ranged combat. The highly sensitive controls on this suit require the utmost discipline and focus, making it something very few Gjallarhorn pilots can handle. A hefty bounty has been placed on both Girard and his Reginlaze by the pirates of the Mars sphere. Hardly any have been foolish enough to try and claim it.
Do I even need to explain who this belongs to.

The Zaku I Commander type "Valencia" belongs to a OYW Ace that never changed his Zaku I throughout the entire conflict, but gradually upgraded his mobile suit to adapt through the war.It's internals are up-to-date by regular standards such as new and power thrusters and backpack, and have added extra armaments to suit the pilot's needs. This includes the rapid-fire Raketen Bazooka, the 90mm Machine Gun, the Zaku Bazooka, the Heat Sword, early type Heat Hawk, a missile pod, a Sturm faust, and the Gouf's shield attached to its arm.Performance-wise, it is able to match toe-to-toe with most Federation models but can still struggle against actual Gundams. It's loadout allows it to hit quick and fast before entering close combat.The missile pod can be jettisoned when fully spent, along with it's other weaponry.The pilot's weapon of choice during close combat are the Heat Sword and Heat Hawk, dual wielding them with both skill and intimidation.The pilot is also accompanied by his teammates who are in the Dom Test type and a Gefangener GM.

Tobin Blaylock pilots a modified RGM-79C GM Type C. After sustaining heavy damage during the Battle of Jaburo, his machine has been outfitted with surplus parts from the newly-developed GM Command Type the high-output thrusters of a GM Sniper II. This added mobility has led to many of his fellow pilots at the battles of both Solomon and A Baoa Qu calling his machine the GM High Mobility Type. Its armament is a Beam Rifle, specifically one similar in appearance to the beam rifle used by the RX-78NT-1 Gundam. Wade Blaylock's personal machine is an MS-06FZ Zaku II FZ. There's nothing particularly special about his machine, aside from the left shoulder pauldron being that of an MS-07B Gouf and the right shoulder shield being coloured red. This Gouf shoulder pauldron once belonged his commander's machine, whom was slain and Wade wanted to commemorate. The red colour on his Zaku II FZ's shoulder shield is to symbolize blood. He also prefers using an MS-grade shotgun to the standard-issue Zaku machine gun.Tobin Blaylock and Wade Blaylock would meet during the Battle of Jaburo, where they would nearly kill each other during a battle that was much a political argument as it was a fight to the death. Wade nearly destroyed Tobin's GM Type C and the battle would turn to a fistfight, which culminated with Tobin nearly strangling his brother to death. Unable to kill his brother, Tobin simply let Wade go and allow him to reflect upon the truth of Zeon's evil deeds. Seven years later, the two brothers would reunite as members of the AEUG and piloted either Nemos or GM IIIs, fighting from the Gryps Conflict until the end of the first Neo Zeon war.
An original one year war gogg originally owned by the ace pilot known as the green pirahna. He gained notoriety in securing the gulf of mexico. After the war the suit was smuggled off the earth by its pilot and they made their way to Mars. In U.C. 120 the original pilot passed the gogg down to his granddaughter, Merrybell Hardy, for her to serve in the Mars Zeon Independence Army. However, she seems more interested in it as a precious tool to be free of Mars.DISCLAIMER: All photos are taken with deceptive camera angles and trickery to make her seem larger than she really is. Her reasons for doing this are a mystery.
A souped-up version with added fire-power, the Baskyrotto features twin heavy launchers and stronger targeting capabilities. Its pilot is focused, and inhumanely silent both on the battlefield and in the barracks, creeping up behind other officers without warning.
>>23805085UC 115? Ten fucking years after Hathaway? You know what, whatever. I dig it. It's not any different than how B-52's are still in use today.
>>23805118Oh man I'm glad you didn't see my U.C. 120 gogg then
And that's everyone this time around! Pretty solid selection, though I was admittedly trying to holding off a day or two extra just to see if some people who had posted WIPs in earlier threads would be a last minute submission. Congrats to everyone who submitted an entry!Voting will be here and last the next three days (Up til Monday). https://forms.gle/A5n9PgDTFJYuTdjF6
>>23805119Give it to me.
>>23805130>https://forms.gle/A5n9PgDTFJYuTdjF6Anon what about Breniss Ox
>>23805130I gotta be brutally honest, I don't like any of these and that's a first for me. Fuck, what happened to that one Jegan? guess he dropped out, his idea was pretty neat though, was expecting more stuff like that.
>>23805130I emailed over a submission on Sunday of a Megami Device, did that not turn up?
>>23805139Not even 3 and 4? Not even 6 or 9?
>>23805141Ahhh fuck I felt like I forgot one. Gimme a sec.
>>23805139also there was a neat Gelgoog Jager, guess that was a drop out too.
After a long week of work, Mirabell was ready for a night of intense fighting at the Arcade, especially with her fully equipped and custom Megami Device. With tons of weapons, a snazzy flight pack and her big... horns, she was ready to show that she was the Ace.That's when she got abducted by Aliens on the way home from work. Turns out the aliens ad bad eyesight and thought her Megami Device was a cow.Anyway, some stuff happened, the aliens crashed their ship, and now she's stuck fighting some crazy customed giant robots on Mars!They might be 144 times your size, but fight on, Chassis OveredWeapon!
>>23805148huge fan of the COW decal on her tit
And now, to decide the next theme. Not only is this going to be the 30th Groupbuild, but 2026 marks the 10 year anniversary of running the Groupbuilds in these threads. As such I'm gonna do something a bit different this time around. In addition to the 4 runner up themes from last time around, I am going to automatically include every previous runner-up theme that has yet to be done. Your starting list of themes are:>Mahou Shoujo>Zeon>Squad>Silly>Animal>Armored Up>Criminal>Elemental>Giant Weapons>Gundam Frame>Kitbash>Knocked Out>Leo>Monoeye>Mythological>Restoration>Royal>Salvaged>Stealth>Stolen>Super Robot>Urban Warfare>Vintage>Winter Warfare>Witch From MercuryThe only exceptions are themes that I rolled into similar themes (Pantheon > Mythological, Duo > Squad, etc) and Gruntify (Which is basically just the opposite of the theme we just did, taking an Ace MS and turning it into a grunt suit, kinda boring theme to follow up with IMO).You're free to suggest themes in addition to these for the next two threads or so, so feel free to suggest em!
>>23805157Would Battletech/Mechwarrior fit or not really because we already had "video games" theme before?
>>23805117>Its pilot is focused, and inhumanely silent both on the battlefield and in the barracks, creeping up behind other officers without warning.I'm sorry I have an annoying droning voice and nobody wears their damned hearing protection!
>>23805164unfortunately I don't think limiting it solely to BT/MW is going to give a huge turnout since there's very little in the way of kits instead of minis outside 3D prints, but I think a general western-style mecha properties build could be cool. No idea how to phrase it precisely though.
>>23805167Me neither so let's just ignore my proposition then, okay?
>>23805130Jeganbuild bros what happened
>>23805169no sorry i'm gonna think about it for the rest of my day"Western Mecha" is probably a fine coverall for anything from mechwarrior to heavy gear to 40k, also pacific rim and some others, just any property started in the West
>>23805171The same thing that happens with every groupbuild related shitposting
>>23805157What the fuck is Knocked out theme? A diorama with a downed mech?
>Kestrel Gundam 1/100 kit what in the goddamn
>>23805145I had to travel for work and didn't have time to paint. I'll submit it on the next groupbuild.
>>23805179it's a pretty cool design that never gets much attention for being "the other AoZ work"this is neat
>>23805178Knocked Out is this>Build a mecha that's been destroyed/damaged/immobilized/combat inoperable or is undergoing critical repairsIf anyone needs clarity on any of the other themes feel free to ask.
>>23805114Cute and based and Gogg pilled!
>>23805187this is gonna sound like a shitpost but i'm not sure what "gundam frame" entails
>>23805197probably an IBO build
>>23805157Is the witch from mercury meant to be corporate prototypes or the custom dueling machines?
>>23805215i'm gonna enter a straightbuild frs miorine
>>23805197Like the other anon said, it's building something that uses the IBO Gundam Frame as a basis >>23805215Just a theme where everyone uses a WFM kit as a starting point.
>>23805221I feel like every theme that requires a specific base like that is doomed to fail because not everyone would be willing to go out of their way to order a kit for it
>>23805157What better option for the 30th groupbuild than the long ignored shitpo-- silly groupbuild!
>I-is that a 420 yen increase in price!?>BANDAI THESE GREEDY CUNTS.Tbh thats very impressive.
>>23805223Lots of these themes were suggested when the series in question were airing or just finished airingThe votes will decide what people are interested in anyway
>>23805224I had a striking idea for a silly build recently>The BrO
>>23805224My silly build? Matador Gundam
>>23805157We should come up with a chart like this but rolled with post number, and all of the features
>>23805157Wuxia theme. Make a build that looks like one of those Chinese OC Donut Steel designs with flames, spikes, feathers, dragons, extremely ornate weapons, and a name that sounds like it was run through Google Translate at least five times (e.g. Tactical Machine Apocalypse, Baphomet Demon Phantom, Eternal Star Glory, etc.).
what if i build something so cool it gets disqualified from silly
>>23805239you could always build a cool mahou shoujo when mahou shoujo wins.
>>23805157I thought squad was everyone using the same color scheme though, while duo is building two guys
>>23805139What jegan again
Amazon JP was fast
>>23805223to add to this, I'm generally against any theme that's specifically gundam related themes. groupbuilds tend to be heavily biased towards gundam anyway, it seems redundant to make a theme about it.I get you could still make something gundam themed out of a non-gundam kit, but it still just feels unnecessarily restrictive to me. themes should always be universe/brand agnostic imo
>>23805157how about an actual girpla theme? like all-encompassing girlpla. not just 30 MS, mecha musume, etc. we could include stuff like
>>23805262i share that sentiment
>>23805263No.
>>23805256probably the jegan with the penelope armor and dual silver bullet shields.
>>23805182that's assuming the next theme would even be fitting...if it's mahou shoujo, will you paint it pink and glue ribbons on it?
>>23805258How are the plamax kits compared to hasegawa?
>>23805268Your mahoshojo shitposting wasn't funny back then and it isn't funny now, shut the fuck up.
>>23805148Yay, there she is! Almost had a heart attack when you didn't post her in the original lineup.I made her a little stats screen the other day too.
>>23805272it's gonna win and you'll have to kneel to me.
>>23805227yeah, elevens have actual honor and their increase in price is just tiny bump isntead of 69 times more because lol
>>23805269>How are the plamax kits compared to hasegawa?More anime accurate, and better joints. Surface detail is sacrificed in favor of less obvious seam engineering. Though the newer hasegawa kits are just as good as plamax kits in regards to seam magement while still retaining the high+finer surface details though the joints are still jank as shit.
>>23805258they always send for overseas by dhl plane
>>23805269I don't have much experience with either but going off of the manual it looks like a much simpler build compared to the Hasegawa VF-0 battroid that I've partially built. I think it'll be a lot easier to put this one together and paint it vs the Hasegawa one. The Hasegawa one has a lot more surface detail that I need to rescribe and some fairly annoying seams to deal with.
>missed finishing my entry due to splitting my attention between two versionsDont let your ADHD win kids
>there's some damaged-products $25-minimum value mystery box for $15>with shipping it's $25Is this worth it, it's from a chain of computer stores with some of the cheapest gunpla I've seen
>>23805237>>23805263Who keeps assassinating these poor anons mid post?
>>23805306If you stop fighting it you could have split your attention even more and got more things not done, think bigger, anon. Or take some Retalin or whatever they put the kids on these days.
>>23805322the fu
I paid for the whole decal sheet.I am going to use the whole decal sheet.
>>23805082>>23805084i can picture these two fu-- fighting each other
>>23805330Careful, Icarus...
>>23805281>>23805286Thanks.So basically Hasegawa is more inline with classical military model kit and plamax is more gunpla like.
>Current group build was ace customs>Grunts are my favorite MSs>Had paint ready>Grunt suit arrived too late to deliverFUCK
>>23805330You don't to use it on the same kit.
>>23805319Go to the Canada Computers site and filter by Bandai and price. See if you want to gamble on getting anything there. I wouldn't put it past them to also include tools in the package.
>>23805093apologies for the lack of dynamic posing this time around, I don't have a display base for 1/100 so decided to make a hangar bay instead and the way the gelgoog holds its rifle pissed me off so I just left it statickinda helps with the sense of scale though
Y'all go vote for Gogg Anon or my boi will come swiggety your swooty. Gogg Anon, can you post the pic from the collage? girl riding on the shoulder off giant robot is just to cute.
>>23805363
>>23805130I'm not really getting ace custom vibes from any of theseI will abstain from voting
>>23805365Based fellow Gogg enjoyer and painter of pilot figures. Yes it is dusty in here, no that is not orange peel but clearly special, marine, anti fouling coating.
>>23805084This really reminds of tau mechsuit. Love the head.
>>23805118He ghosted the wrong woman and kept not dying on the suicide missions in his assigned coffin.
>>23805157>stolenI like this
>>23805148may i know where you got the chest? for research purposes
>>23805402it technically won last year but some butthurt little faggot here threw a bitch fit and didn't want it to win so badly that he botted the poll to disqualify it
how do i design a "stolen" mech?
>>23805416design a robot you would like and then make it look like someone you don't like modified it. or vise versa
>>23805417what if it just looks like something i like but i swear it's been stolenwho's gonna be able to tell
>>23805416Did you even watch the fanfic?
>>23805419if you scratchbuild an entire original mecha donut steel then you can just say it was stolen and nobody can do anything about it
>>23805416Paint a Feddie mech like Zeon does, or vice versa. Also swap out accessories for the other sides equivalent.
>>23805416
>>23805426aight so another gundam shit lore theme
>>23805416>how do i design a "stolen" mech?
i'm sorry guys but i like the red gundam
This but on zeek mobile suits l
>>23805434It's decent.
>>23805416just notcopy gp02
>>23805157>my entry not includedgroubuild dude... Why?
>>23805444you probably submitted after the deadline
>>23805444>kill miguAlright come here, you're gettin' your shit slapped.
>>23805434me too
>>23805444You gotta post thighs
>>23805444Ok I don't know how I've gone 10 years without missing an entry then on the same day miss two entries. I guess that's what I get for downloading everything one day then making the images the next without double checking. Maybe I'm just getting old.BURST HAIL was initially a standard Jo-Hound deployed into a contested mountainous region to counter incursions by neighboring countries. The machine was retrofitted at the pilot's request with an on-board scanning radar array and multi-mode radar/thermal seeking missiles scavenged from obsolete weapons platforms. Due to the volume of both aerial and ground threats in the incursions, the pilot also demanded a more sustainable weapon system for countering close targets of both types. The military commissioned a pair of gatling cannons which could be operated simultaneously and use targeting data from the scanning radar array or direct visual data to acquire any nearby enemy and deliver overwhelming firepower. Due to the overall weight of all the added equipment, an additional pair of legs need to be attached when using the gatling cannons.
>>23805263we already did this
>>23805456okay I prefer this over the other submissions
>>23805461still not feeling "ace" from itall the submissions missed the mark
>>23805456NOW THIS, THIS IS POD RAC->quadinto the trash it goes
>>23805462maybe those other builds that didn't made it in time would have fit your description of "ace" but they're all too busy fighting on Mars on something
Ok, Added Burst Hail to the poll and the Flickr folder. I'll edit the full poster shortly. I also made it so you can edit your response if you guys wish to change your votes.https://forms.gle/u9CyBDRYQtZ7T5XYAAgain, sorry for all the confusion and everything, I've had a long-ass week.
>>23805469long-ass week of fucking twinks
>>23805456I am eternally grateful sirside note, it's pretty obvious but a handful of these parts are 3d printed. Definitely recommend a resin printer for anyone who wants to use one for plamo, the fdm surfaces are too rough in general and honestly don't take paint very well. I was not going to go get another different printer over it though.
>>23805473You can putty the surfaces also before painting, might be a bit difficult to do on flat parts though.
>>23805463It's what I wanted to do way back in the non-bipedal groubuild, but back then I had no talent (yes, even less than now). And no 3d printer. And no spare jo-hound legs. It all came around though.>>23805477I also thought of that but way too late in the process and without enough time to fix it... Maybe next time.
So 15 entries? Thass big, especially if gbd keeps unlocking secret characters
>>23805489Another trick that I've seen used is for the surfaces that show the layer lines the most is to make them inset a bit, then on another print print the "side" in the other orientation and then glue it into place. It's easier than sanding off all the layer lines and has the texture of your print bed instead.
>>23805434Thank god I'm not the only one...
>>23805489you effort and growth a hobbyist clearly shows anon.its still fucking quad and quads are fucking gay
>>23805495>quads are fucking gayshould have waited for gay custom group build I guess
>>23805157Federation (Universal century, Whatever it is in Sneed/Age/IBO/etc..)
>>23805499to expand on this>Gundams used by the federation in UC or any AU>Grunts used by the federation in UC or any AU>OC donut steels adhering to any of the above criteria>NO ZEEK SCUM>GOOD GUYS ONLYIt would be almost like a free for all, only it has to be Gundam related, Gruntfags and Gundambabbies rejoice
>>23805157Chinafy Gundams and make them similar to Motor Nuclear's Star Soul Generals

>>23805139>>23805371YOURE WORK?
>>23805644Good morning sir
>>23805131No>>23805363Here you go.
>>23804939Snow flame is also in the $3-5 range and is also so thin that it won't leave any visible outlines. Hell, the free decals that come with the $6 Bootleg GTO GMs are also good.
>>23805695Adding to this post. I was under the impression several other people were making pilots too. I remember a discussion of several busty redheads.
>>23805157baseball
>>23805709ah yes the busty redheads going to mars in their jegans
>>23805716what happened to that Mars Zeon sub plot? I don't see anything in the submissions that look viable for Mars
>>23805717When I did my gogg I thought it would be really funny to put a mobile suit designed for the water on mars
>>23805709I thought about it, but didn't find a dude in the right scale when I went to the hobby store. Could have tried to order something online, I guess.
>>23805695Cute! Thank you, anon. I voted for you, you defend the honour of Gogg now.
>>23805731I just want you to know my original plan was a gogg cannon but I could not figure out a way to make it look good
>>23805706>Hell, the free decals that come with the $6 Bootleg GTO GMs are also good.When I started buying bootlegs, one of the things that surprise was that the decals are actually pretty damn good. The kits themselves might have minor flaws here and there that need fixing, but the decals have always been solid so far. Water decals genuinely need to be the norm for all bandai kits.
>>23805738With a few exceptions (WeiMei decals suck balls), they're mostly great. I think its because trying to produce them cheaply by making the decals as thin as possible makes them blend in perfectly after a bit of mark setter. Its also a nice bit of convenience not having to source decals for a specific kit. To this day, I still can't find a 144 scale Rick Dom decal sheet, and I really want to collect all the rick dom variants too.
>>23805091>Gjallarhorn's infamous Pirate HunterAs a side note, he is also sometimes referred to as the Buccaneer Breaker.
>>23805750is he also the Raider wRecker?
>>23805748What decals would a rick dom even need that aren't on a normal zeon decal sheet?
Is it weird that I like the V dash more than the regular victory?
>>23805717Well the Jegan squad pussied out. See how the submissions are mostly zeon.
30 Minutes stream announced for May 26
>>23805767I don't use all the little stencils all over the body, but I like the outline flairs used for the shoulderpads, the skirt, and the legs. I also like the wrap arounds for the weapons and the little bits and pieces for it. All kit specific decals have this in some way.pic related is for master grade but an HG sheet would still have it.No I do not want to cut my own decal shapes, no I do not want to hand paint.
>>23805764He is now baby
>>23805798It's actually pretty easy to mask it off to do striping.
Why do changs always make everything pointy?
>>23805812better proportion and parts clarity than bandai's.

"bandairagers" is what raves in the 2nd factory are called
>>23806109they're missing a horse and a massive bow
>bad kit rager
>>23805812This is actually a good case of pointy. Normally chang will throw on spikes like a hedgehog. Instead this uses the triangular shape of the Xi as the main design philosophy and flows with the rest of it.
>>23805789I can't go on for so long without new announcements
How's HG 1/100 Macross kits?
>>23806216They're fine, kinda a pain that you'll have a bunch of bits leftover because the kits partsform into all 3 forms, and you've gotta buy the waterslides seperately.Still hoping they do some grunts at some point, would love a VF-11.
I miss build fighters
build fighters was a stain on the franchisepart of the AGE plan to draw in younger childrenpaved the way for boring kiddieslop like IBO and WfM
>>23806230>hurr durr this franchise based on cartoons for children should cater to manly men like myself, not the heckin children!
>>23806218>>23806216Outside of what he said, the Bandai Water slides don't include all the stickers, so you will still end up with some stickers (at least on the VF-29). Also there are a ton of stickers/decals on the Frontier/Delta VFs due to how complicated their paint schemes are.
>>23806234AGE and GBF were aiming for younger than the typical shounen demographic. Both were marketed at 10 and under ages rather than the typical 12-17
>>23806230Build Fighters was single best Gundam show, with all right elements and focus on what was truly important for the hobby - models, customisation and FUN.
>>23805322Probably that asshole Candlej-
>>23803739Trashpla needs two rods up its ass to look like it shit it's pants, doesn't even place. Looks like the judges were sick of this gimmick. Womp womp.
>>23806230The main reason this general even exist outside of /toy/ was because of GBF.
>>23804825They piss on waterslides btw
>>23803579I was going to comment how it was funny that several things in my wishlist went out of stock this week and that always happens right before a sale with them, but I thought maybe I was just being paranoid since that sale isn't till the 16th. Turns out they started an easter sale today too. I bet everything goes back in stock Monday, then mysteriously out of stock again the 15th.
>>23806258no it was cause of Seed kino
>>23805715I'm still mad the weapons pack that included the bat, didn't also have the ball and a hand to hold it. Not a hard thing to make yourself but still.
>>23806070a Japanese advertisement talking about Knott's Berry Farm played right before this video. Why would Japanese people go to Knott's when Disneyland is right down the street lol
>>23806227i started watching it and the suits fucking suck assi'd spank all of these chumps in a groupbuild
The Changs are aware of AOZ now. What a time to be alive.
>>23806307>>23806308oh fuck is this the Advanced Kehaar II? I've been waiting for this for YEARS
>>23806309They also made the folding rifle before Bandai manage to roll it out with Hazel Icarus lol.
>>23806230Build fighters, along with unicorn, was probably the biggest driver of gunpla sales for bandai and, unlike unicorn, actually had a good story
Just when i started to hate the Changs again, they redeemed themselves immediately.
>>23806309You will need the base Kehaar kit first. Luckily there are bootlegs for both Black Woundwort and Kehaar II armor.
>>23806324
>>23805157Suggesting:>1:1The kit submitted is treated as fully operational at the size it's submitted. For example, a 10cm tall Exia is treated as fully functioning 10cm tall Exia with functioning blade and blaster that can actually cut and leaves a hole, and is treated as a separate entity that doesn't represent it's original sized counterparts(if not treating the source materials as non-existent)Participants are free to submit their entry at any size they want, be it as small as 3 cm tall, or as big as a tall buildings like the usual mobile suit if they can afford to.The main idea of this theme is what's the purpose of the entry and why is it designed at that size. A good example of this theme is HoiHoi san, a 11.5 cm tall maid robot that are designed to kill pests that happen to be very customizable.Other use includes desktop assistance, as communication device, delivery of small package or espionage and assassination.That said, if the theme ended up becoming to wide, I am okay if the groupbuild dude decided to simply limit it to Micro Mecha theme instead.
>>23806335>mobile suitwhy does it always have to be Gundam with you guys? Micro Mecha would be a much better suggestion
>>23806344We seriously need an Evangelion resurgance. Atleast Evafags are funny.
>>23806230Gundam is for children and Banrise's goal with each new Gundam show is to draw in new generation of children.
>>23806335This is a dumb theme.
To the anons who've built the MG V2, how do you make the white backplate fold over the head if you're doing the core fighter mode?
>>23806400The head swings down and the plate rotates over it.
>>23806408Is the head's swing down mechanism supposed to be hard or something? Mine won't collapse into the empty space inside for some reason
>>23806410I think there's a lock or something on the underside but I can't remember. I don't want to take my V2AB apart and I never built the spare corefighters so I don't have them sitting around to fiddle with.
>>23806344I am more into 30MM theme at this point, it's just that the gundam is quite standard for this thread and to push the point of 1:1 where they can't just use the model to represent the original size
>>23805348I do like most of their selections other than SD EXes, I know people got a Psyco Gundam Mk II or a Narrative from the $100+ box, but I have no idea what I'm in for. That and there's always worries about getting dupes>the $25 box for $40 value also ends up being around that post-shipping
>>23806413I'll dismantle Marbet's core fighter tomorrow then and check what went wrong. Honestly kinda weird that this transformation gimmick doesn't work after grinding down pegs in anticipation
>>2380641430MM is just literally Not-Zaku and Not-GM. A true game changer should be a Tamiya group build. The kits are very common on the market and actually something most of anons here would feel challenged because they will have to build something they don't enjoy.
>>23806417I don't really remember having any issues with it but it's been a few years now since I built my V2s and thus played with the corefighter/transforming elements.
>>23806267It doesn't make a huge difference to me since anything important I'd like to buy is a pre-order anyway, and most of the opportunity buys on my wishlist are stuff I could probably find at Hobby Lobby so I may as well skip out on paying for shipping.
You will all be voting for silly, RIGHT?
>>23806307>>23806308>>23806309They don't call AoZ "Advance of Kino" for nothing.
>>23806419Which GM is this, exactly?
>>23806459because it advances zeta's kino into slop
>>23803713RG Gogg.Think about it.
>>23806472fat leo
>>23806472That's still the visor face grunt and a "good guy". Zaku and GM are the main inspiration for 30MM, it is super obvious.
>Literally GM Spartan
>>23806477Zeta is gay but in a closet. AOZ is gayer and doesn't shy away from it, making it more Kino
>>23806529Needs the option armor.
>>23806529Do not compare GM Spartan to this ugly duckling.
>>23806472you blind or just stupid
what the fucking kind of jim is this?
>>23806472kind of like a loto I guess
>>23806548NTA, they actually made a Hygogg knockoff based on Baskyrotto. 30MM is just a hallunication of existing Gundam designs, which is what Ebikawa usually do btw.
>>23806559it is a Powered GM, it is very strong and orange.
>>23806472That kind of visor looks like Leo...From Gundam Wing. Again, Gundam.
>>23806566Fat GM is my spirit animal
>>2380641430MM was already a theme, however.
>>23806577I wish this got a HG or MG or anything
>>23806583It is pretty redundant as a theme because the design language and world building are too similar to Gundam stuff.
>>23806588Sentinel hypetrain stopped long ago, Bandai doesn't make new kits for it anymore.
>>23806593MK-V got a MG like 6 years ago or whatever
>>23803553MG Turn A complete
>>23806596FAZZ was in 2020. That was the last time Bandai cared about Sentinel.
>>23806601
>>23806604
>>23806605I'm a fan of eye cameras being in fluorescent.
irl groupbuilds don't seem that fun
>>23806606Cow
>>23806608Do the shoulders move ok or is it similar to the HGYou don't actually have to move it if the cow is resting though
>comes with the ground type slippers what were retconned out of the design in ReBootBandai would NEVERAfter years of suffering and torment, AoZbros are living in the shade now.
>>23806610I don't have the HG, but the front flap of the shoulders can rotate upward at about 70-80 degrees and the back flap of the shoulder bends a little bit. Can't bring the arm all the way up, I feel the shoulders limit it but it's still quite good.
Comes with the missile rack, beam cannon focus rack and I think the bigger missiles are nuclear tipped.
Not sure what is the purpose of the little arm is.
>>23806417It took me like 40 minutes to figure it out on my first V2 as I didn't want to break anything. The locking mechanism is a bit weird as you half push in, then go back to fiddle with something, then commit to the movement.
Dunno what's going on here either.
This is about a third of a Queenly right here though. If Bandai won't make it, it seems Effect Wings will bit by bit.
>>23806621Don't question it
>>23806622>half push in, then go back to fiddle with something, then commit to the movement.Oh my... Blue board, anon.
Comes in white, Titans blue, Black Hares black and ReZeon red. You'll need to buy a HG TR-6 and a Kehaar II DLC before fitting all this though. EW bootlegged all of it already so even with Trump tariffs going on, this all should still come cheaper than Bandai's take on the Advanced Kehaar II.
>>23806626I blame I've been hanging out with a cute girl all day. and it started out with her looking at my Gunpla collection and finding it neat.
>>23806624They should make Prototype Asshimar while at it.
>>23806634I'd prefer if they made the HiZack variants
oh btw THERE IS STILL NO HG HAZEL BOOTLEG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>23806639I'm abit sick of these Zaku variants. The last Asshimar derivative we got was a bastardized version with a Jegan face.
>>23806630You go, Anon! If they are really interested in specific thing you do (Warhammer, Plamo, other crafting hobbies) is another question, but, in general, womanfolk are impressed if you show them something you made yourself, even if they don't react or mock you for it. The ones that just say they think it is cool when they think it is cool are the best ones. I hope said girl becomes your qt Plamo gf, my dude.
>>23806640You vill buy the marked up Pbandai scam and you vill be happy.
>>23806614>flaps>rather than one singular solid piece that can rotate along with the armAlready that's better news, I think>can't bring the arm all the way upThat is not great news!
>>23806640there is mg bootleg lol
what happened to the AOZ general anyway? discussion dried up?
>>23806655Beside gushing over the artworks, there is not much to say. Not to mention that most of the kits are P-Bandai which is a bottleneck.
>>23806645Not sure if I'm allowed to risk it yet. She is my future sister in law.
>>23806658Sad. You could atleast have kept the fantasy alive for the rest of is by not disclosing that. Then again, I have been watching a lot of family taboo smut lately so my gooner side says, go for it!
>>23806607I got laid at one
>>23803553I'm just starting Uma Lightning's Gelgoog. I heard it came with 20% more goog than the standard Gelgoog so I just had to have it.
Honestly, I'm curious. Have the Chinamen and company managed to make a bootleg of a 40k knight with the features of modern model kits (ie. articulation, color separated parts, etc.)?
>>23806695Yeah its like 700 bucks and an action figure
>>23806603Didn't that shit just get a verka
>>23806758we just got a different release of the Ex-S so anon's just a retard who will now shift the goalpost and say it doesn't count because it wasn't a completely new model and when he does I'll call him a fag who forgot about the Mark V anyways
>>23806472EGG BUSTER!
>>23806658>>23806673I just realized I phrase that ambiguously. She is my Brother's Fiance's Sister. It would only be bad if the fiance didn't want me to date her sister.
CHANG MAKE A 25CM GAOKING KIT AND MY LIKE IS YOURS
>>23806649Hazel with a prolapsed anus
>>23806879>Hazel with a prolapsed anus
>>23806758>>23806763There's also the Sentinel MSV with the deep striker, but that was more of a RE/100 with the MG label slapped on to make it more expensive
gloss coating before decals and panel lining is such a chore. but I don't want the paint to peel off when I do stuff with the surface.
>>23806998hyped for this, gonna stick the skeleton head onto a MG Gundam body to make an abomination
>>238069982 per box, right? What's the price?
>>2380701225
>>23807015that's too much, should be 5 bucks
>>23807011The Gundam from the Boone manga?

>>23807042
>>23805469>I'll edit the full poster shortly.Were you, uh, gonna do that anytime soon? I don't see it in the flickr link and I wanted to use that for the next OP, as is tradition.
>>23807041>>23807040top fucking kekyou literally are the exact caricature I describednice job retard
>>23807044we have a sazabi at home
>>23807040>It has been 6 years since FAZZ's release.
>>23806763Isn't MKV half a decade ago?
Your era is over, Sentinel chuds. It is our time now.
>>23807050It's 2026 now. Try to catch up, grandpa.
>>23807050>mg zz ver ka came out 9 years ago
>>23807044Makes me think of NWGIX/v from Armored Core Verdict Day
>>23807063It is really grim when you realize the last brand new MG mold was fucking Narrative
>>23806640Do retail HG Hazel kits reprint often?
>>23807059let me see that white Kehaar II>>23807076are reprinted never
>>23807076Same with HG Woundwort. Bandai just reprint them through Pbandai releases.
>>23807104When is the last time you saw the woundwort in stock on pban?
>>23807111Barzam 2
Nether emperor is too big! Eclipse in comparison is almost as tall as the Unicorn Gundam, which is one of the tallest Gundams in UC.
>>23807149i dunno if it's meant to be like that or chinks can't into scaling (right figure is Nether Emperor's pilot figure)
>>23807150Chinks bootlegs the scale as well so it's not quite the same. Their 1/12 is closer to 1/10 rather than actual 1/12 for example.
>>23807150Chinese people are really short, so the size difference tracks.
>>23807150Are the scaling autists now going to start targeting 3rd party original designs? How do YOU know that's not an accurate 1/100 scale to how that unit would be in the SNAA cinematic universe?
>>23807049>>23807066It's just the Coldsteel version of pic related
>>23807111Seems like they restocked it last year. You can build regular Woundwort from numerous Pbandai kits: Barzam II, Kehaar, Hazel II
Does anyone actually like this design?
>>23807179I like it
>>23807162NTA, Chang OC kits are very Gundam inspired, including the exact scaling sysyem Bandai uses for gunpla so most of people expect it to be around the similar size in-universe ( if there is one ). When they said the kit in in 1/144, you know it is gonna be pocket sized. When they said 1/100, you know it is gonna be huge.
>>23807182But I've built a couple of the 1/144 SNAA kits. They're very tall for 1/144, keeping in line with how tall their 1/100 kits are. The few I have are taller than the RG Unicorn in destroy mode, like only a little beneath a standard Bandai MG.
>>23807179I like everything but the big yellow beak gut
>>23807186The thing is Unicorn, Sazabi, Xi, etc have actual novels you can read and anime you can watch. The real demonstration of their in-universe scale justifies the kit's size. SNAA mech however, is just a make believe kind of scale so people automatically link this scale to the standard Gundam size approx. 16 to 19 meters tall. However the 1/144 kits ended up being around 18 to 20cm tall which is just another Chinese hyper inflation bullshit because are incapable of making actual small kits.
>>23807149yeah, I prefer their BE (1/144) line. 15-16cm like late UC MG. Their scaling is nonsense dogshit.
This must be the most dogshit Gloss coat ever. it's just clear without the gloss!
>>23807201SNAA is just merely pretending to make 1/144 kits. Sheik Mainland and Effect Wings are the real short kings.
>>23807205I have it. The thing is gloss.
>>23807179I don't like the colours that much but I do like the overall design. FA Gundam is cooler overall though even if the power cables on Perfect are cool as fuck.
>thicc ass seravee esque bodyWhy wouldnt I?
>>23807213whoops meant for >>23807179
>>23807212FA Gundam has a more ultilitarian looks and gives a stronger impression. Perfect Gundam feels abit silly to me because it looks like a 1/144 head slapped on a 1/100 body.
>>23807179I do.
>>23807223Yeah I agree mostly. I think FA Gundam coulda had a power cable somewhere though, maybe to the cannon or the double beam rifle. I think the Perfect's shoulders and legs are pretty cool though. The much bigger feet are also pretty cool. There are some Perfects around in "real" colours and they look nice, but the arms and torso always look pretty toyish.
>>23807227Lore-wise, PG is a custom plamo built by a child so i wouldn't complain about the thing looking like a toy. The body proportion needs to be redo badly however.
>>23807228Sure, I'm aware, it's fine for what it is. Just my own taste of the design overall.
Perfect Gundam needs fatter legs
Anyone ever buy from galactictoys.com? Their inventory seems too good to be true considering what's available elsewhere.
>>23807179It just needs better colors desu
>>23807239I've ordered from them. They're legit.
>>23807243I think it just looks too silly no matter what do you
>>23807246*you do. Damn i'm having a stroke.
PG in gritty colorscheme feels weird.
>>23807249Finally managed to get one of this from my jp friend. Hope that shipping isnt that bad.
They should make a RG of this version of the Perfect Gundam
>>23807246Nah what it needs is bigger weapons>>23807179I like it alot but I see why you dont see the appeal when the average chink kit you shill has a lot of spikes and greeble.
>>23807050Every kit that you consider modern are old and should be considered vintage at this point.
>>23807260That's silly but MG FAZZ does feel like a late 2000s MG, that includes the original ZZ ver Ka. Saggy Polycaps everywhere.
Managed to do it now, thanks for the tips anons. Once I do paint this shit I'mma glue down every single fucking transforming bits, and paint the landing gear as well.
Tried to wait as long as I could. New thread.>>23807262>>23807262>>23807262
>>23807046Whoops, my bad.
>>23807239they rape you on shipping
>>23807268Alright, one moment then.
>>23807267>404
>>23807271I deleted it because of Groupbuild Dude's incredible timing. Wanted to get everyone's entries in the poster.Actual new thread:>>23807272>>23807272>>23807272
>>23807275Thanks as usual threadguy
>>23807286You're welcome
>>23806998Nice. Since they came in 2s, I'd finally get some use out of those leftover 30mf armor pieces.
>>23807263only complaints I’ve seen so far is that it has issues posing while holding the beam cannon attachment. Apparently the FAZZ has the same issue.
>>23807179>>23807228>>23807227I like Katoki's take on it,
