My experimentation with colored rubber bands and my sister in law's old hair straightening iron has yielded success. They're the right color, with a slightly ethereal consistency (flat, rectangular, transparent). Easy to cut to the proper length, though now my challenge will be to determine the method for attaching them to either the head itself, or somehow constructing a HG-sized skull cap and attaching these hair strands to that.

Also, learning how to braid rubber bands is going to be a bitch.

>>23839738
The pot iron effect is nice but the bumpy rusted out construction equipment effect is the best. I loved poking puffy, rusty metal when I was a kid and feeling it smoosh.

I am trying to sort out Japanese formulas for a paint mix exactly so that it's reproducible because I am afraid I don't have enough and will have to rebuy the paints.

Any tips on painting the outer armor? Or should I just snap it together first to see how it all fits. My main concern is painting too much on t he pegs and holes and it won’t fit together

>>23839753
It does.

>>23839771
You can just clean it off or just tape off the pegs.

>>23839771
That's not really something to worry about on anything bandai makes. The tolerances are very generous. If you're worried you can stuff the holes first.

How do I apply those clear decal stickers more cleanly without making it look like a poorly applied waterslide? Do I just glue it down with a bit of paint? Is there something to melt it onto the model like there is with waterslides?

Anybody ever mixed Aqueous into Mr. Color? Not layering it, mixing the two together.

>>23839774
>It does.
In your small, primate brain (underdeveloped prefrontal cortex) you are clearly creating some unknown amalgamation of the terms pot metal, cast iron and pig iron. Pot iron is not a term relevant to any kind of casual discussion or metallurgy.

>>23839780
They mix fine. You just need to use mr.color thinner for the mixture.

The thinner is what makes it work. They don't have a common solvent in the mix until the thinner is added so they bind up.

So what's the consensus on the GBC bootleg Exia anyway? I'm genuinely too stupid to tell if the proportions are "wrong" and people can't seem to decide whether it has massive fitment issues or only needs a little sanding and smooching to be good.

Snapbuilding this special coating Unicorn, still sort of fiddling around to figure out the transformation/ sliding panels. Cool kit, but some bits felt kinda flimsy while at the same time, some bits are kinda hard to move/slide around. Minor complain: they should have just included another set of head parts so I don’t have to open up the head to swap parts between Unicorn and destroy mode. The head is tiny with several tiny, seemingly brittle parts that you slot into tiny bits, I’m not exactly the most steady-handed guy so I’m rather nervous that I might accidentally ham hand and break some parts.

>ecopla neon mg unicorn 6700 yen
Should I?

>>23839858
yes

Why do the color formulas given in Jap manuals by Koto and Bandai always come out dramatically darker than they should? Do they mix the paint into a clear and not apply a solid coat or something? Even measured with pipettes into graded containers with absolute precision they come out very wrong. They can't be this retarded, right? I must be overlooking something. It will list stuff like 40% of one light color and 30% of a much darker color and that second color completely overpowers the first one to the point that it's dramatically darker. Like 80% darker in value. Then any additional colors in the recipe make it darker still, usually. Maybe they intend this to be like a base strong color that gets mixed into white or something?

I came home today from work and spent 2 hours trying to pose my PG Astray like the box art and I just couldn't do it, I feel like an idiot. I had to settle for a boring standing pose, plus I broke one part and all the fingers in one had fell off and now are loose

>>23839885
Put a drop of clearcoat on the finger part and put it back on. Once it dries it should move like it used to.

fellow panhead enjoyers, how's the fitment of the parts? I'm finally putting mine together this week and I'll be painting it. Is it a "put together roughly and take apart for paint" build or "oh god this is so tight, paint before assemble"? Haven't built a gsc kit before

>>23839893
Mine was fairly tight so you'll want to clip pegs and holes to loosen the tolerances a little. Even then I still had to scrape paint off of some pieces to get it to go together. The shoulders and the chest vents were the most troublesome bits. The panel lines were also kind of soft so you might want to rescribe them.

>Didn't realize
Gunpla has been completely taken over by snapshitters. For the last 10 years at least. Most of these people think using a gundam pen is akin to scratch building. It has shifted to toy collection.

>>23840492
SMP is worse at that especially on recolors like GAINGAOH BLACK and they have STICKER EMBLEMS THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN WATERSLIDES WITH NO WAY TO PAINT THOSE IN

Every time I look at the Alyzeus I can't believe it exists. Is this the best that someone could come up with? This thing is going to flop so hard.

>>23840466
I mean, he has a right to. That piece has change colors depending on the medium over the decades (even the original MG has it in blue), and even early kits with the big fuckoff gun have the entire armor in white. It's like arguing whether the cross on the Turn A's chest should be blue like the anime or white like in many other depictions.

Anon, gunpla has always had snapshitters as its main target audience. What did you think the snap part of snapshitters even mean or how it came about to begin with? Gunpla's dominance in the plamo market didn't come out of nowhere. Bandai has always been trying to make gunpla as accessible as possible.

Gunpla is the kodomo section
Minipla is where snapkiddies learn how to paint

>>23840605
You never really need glue to build Bandai kits, even for the older ones. Bandai sell these kits to children, not jaded old men.

Because Psycho Gundam kit is actually good. However, Gaplant's tiny PS pegs cannot handle all that weight and they break without the specialized action base that you have to hook the kit onto it. I thought they installed the giant arms on Gaplant back, not this half assed solution.

One anecdote from me is that my ex said I have extra thin cement, and her comment left me wondering how did she know about my gunpla hobby.

>>23840814
Worst part is that this kit's version of the white pod things (forget their actual name) are exclusive to this kit. They're not the same as the kit you can buy separately, and they only work for the tr5.

True, the ankle thruster tilt is a nice touch as well. If I wanted to make a complaint it would be that any colour scheme but default looks even better.

>>23840943

The only complaint i have is the head, which looks worse than the flat animalistic head of the lineart. Luckily you can sand it.

Varies wildly. Out of the ones I have Dynazenon had some retarded sticker placement (and some understandable stickers) and they gave up on making Dynarex really work, but Moderoid Xabungle is pretty much flawless.

>>23840976
Woundwort's biggest problem is the loose and filmsy waist. The floppy legs were not a problem until Barzam II since the thing has actual feet and needs to stand on the ground because that's the only pose it can do.

>>23840987
Vthor from Hexagear line. You need to sand the pegs though, they are quite tight and can cause problem in the long run because ABS tend to warp over time.

There's some upcoming buildfest where you snapshit together and get to take home everything you've built, any tips and tricks for amassing my collection?

>>23841038
dont sand nubs, clip everything out and snap it together as fast as you can. dont worry about pushing parts in all the way you can do all that at home later

>>23840970
does it have a psychoframe transformation though?

>>23841045
How much should I snap out, I've seen people remove every single part from the runners beforehand, whereas I normally just do it per limb or two, with each piece roughly on top of where the corresponding one is in the manual. I think I'd have a lot more desk space and freedom at this event though. If cutting out every single piece is the most viable plan, I'd at least want them arranged in order

>assuredly won't be finishing more than two, but I'd certainly and leisurely get my money's worth, compared to trying to snap 3-4 HGs within two hours

I never got the complaints about the Woundwort HG since I've only built the AK bootleg and it's sturdy as hell. In fact it's so sturdy the arms are physically hard to move and I fear they might snap eventually.

progress on the thingy. thinking about maybe leaving the lower part as it is and making it look rusty with oils. i think the two tone fits the ramshackle look (instead of all gray)

Is there any issue priming a fully built model?
I've only painted warhammer models but i've got a collection of naked gunpla that i'd like to add more details too.
Also i know enamals are the go to, but are they're any clear primers that are good for acrylic paints?
Apologies if this is in the general's guides and i just missed it.

>>23842187
>Is there any issue priming a fully built model?
Fully covering all the joints would be a pain
>that are good for acrylic paints
You should be able to put acrylics over any primer

>>23842199
>Fully covering all the joints would be a pain
makes sense, i was planning on just seperating arms/legs/torso and priming them apart, I've just seen many people eitehr prime on spure or every part individually so i was getting worried i'd have to dissassemble everything.
>You should be able to put acrylics over any primer
Sweet, what clear primers do you use? i've only ever used spray paint.

How much detail do you want to ad that you want to use clear primer? If it is just guns and hatches and other small details you can brush prime those areas and then paint them, I use Vallejo brush primer and various acrilics if I don't want to paint the whole thing. Afterwards you blast a clear topcoat to keep everything in place.

How's a small aquarium tank for diorama? Anyone?

Interesting. Thanks I’ll look into this more.

>>23842357
Thin down some Tamiya putty with lacquer thinner and apply it over the model with a brush, then rough it up with a wire brush. You'll probably need to smooth it out a bit after with some sandpaper.

>>23842187
Lacquers are actually the recommended paint for Gunpla, because they dry much faster. The tradeoff is that they produce more fumes, so you need good ventilation and a good respirator if you're going to use lacquers.

As the other anon said, you have to get used to masking the joints and various other contact surfaces prior to priming and painting. In some cases, you may even have to sand down the surfaces to increase the tolerances so that they don't rub against each other after painting.

>>23842367
I’ll test this out on a spare piece and see where I can go with it. Thanks!

>painting joints
You can work that to your advantage too. On older kits if you know a kit is notorious for loose hands or joints (Dalong and Schizo reviews, my go to) you can top coat the joint to tighten it some
