Is it true the old Patlabor Ingram MGs are getting reprinted this year? Alongside the new RG I reckon
When will SMP Balteus preorders show up at the earliest
>>23878015When Katoki was designing Ex S, Bandai kept shaking their heads and said " This is not a Gundam ". Model Graphix asked him to redesign it several times until it gained a more Gundam-ish looks because even the editorial department agreed with Bandai that something felt off about it and they needed the design to be approved by Bandai, too. The thing got stuck in development hell until Katoki colored the sketch in the classic tri color using some markers and only then, Bandai said >Yes! Now this is a Gundam!
This is one of Daban's best release getting reissued, if you want to get it
Oh cool, instead of looking like a GM, Gqux "Gelgoog" resembles Nemo now.
>>23878379>6xxx seriesUhhm but an anon in the prev thread said that even the newest run of their Tall goose was crap...
>>23878379>one of Daban's bestSo, utter dogshit that should be avoided in favor of the genuine product, got it.MG Dynames isn't even a rare kit, not sure why it needs a bootleg to begin with.
>>23878387IBO HG has a bunch of bootlegs and they are not rare in any way. Alot of bootlegs are meant to serve the poor people or desperate, cheap people who are not gonna spend more than 5 dollars for their hobby.
>>23878381?
>>23878394Looks pretty cool. I wonder when will Gqux introduce THIS Gelgoog?
Snapfaggots would rather buy LED than paint their models
>wing MG kits get to have a locking tab for the weapons>MG victory doesn't despite being the same midget gundam as wing
>>23878400You mean that GM? It looks nothing like the Gelgoog.
So I just noticed that the blade on my orange Ruitool nipper has a crack on its blade about 70%of the way though. Since I'm buying something new, should I just get a Godhand? Which one as I think there are 3 models?
wish they'd add more surface detail to cockpits desu
>>23878406One of the most popular AU vs The show that tanked UC for decades.
>>23878410The most expensive model
>>23878379I may get one and buy a Repair III conversion set
>knee blades>giant shouldersi don't know chinasisters....
>>23878383Tallgeese is 6620Dynames is 6635That's 15 release gap. even 6626 (The O) is really good already.
>>23878418That's just a greebled up Kyrios
I don't get the appeal of Perfect Greebled Nu
>>23878425It's for snapfaggots who want to flex their money
>>23878313
>>23878425Then don't buy it
>>23878429Don't tell me what to do.
>>23878425why dont gunpla look like the source material anymore
>>23878400According to the HG manual the MS-14 does indeed exist in the GQ timeline, it just lost out to the gMS-01 as Zeon's next-generation general purpose MS. So yeah, that throwaway line about Zeonic "cancelling" their projects after the Gundam's capture was bullshit.
>>23878427I swear, I've never forgotten to resize an image before, this has never happened to me.
>>23878427>>23878444He's looking great, you've really captured Sugimori's style well.
>>23878435Katoki poisoned the well with the Nu Ver Ka way back in 2013
>>23878444stop inhaling lacquer fumesalso nice job
can you lacquer topcoat an unpainted gunpla? and ABS parts the water-based can is too expensive ever since the jew war.
>>23878456Yeah, just be sensible and don't let the paint pool.
>>23878456yes you can if you airbursh. Without airbrush, lacquer will lead you to crack city.
>want to buy plamo>think of all the paints I would need to use on it>don't buy plamo
>>23878458Only on the ABS. I can'd bare plastic a bunch before I got my airbrush.
>>23878463Just don't paint it then anon, no shame in being a snapfag.
>>23878465But there is.
you CAN'T go back to bare plastic.
>>23878471I can, I simply don't show it to anyone anymore if it's not painted.
>>23878463Justt panel line, decal and top coat
>>23878463You don't have to paint if you don't want to. It's a hobby, not an obligation. I don't paint all my kits. Some are full paints, some are partial (mainly joints/inner frames), some are snapbuilds with some slight painting for details etc.You shouldn't be letting /gpg/ affect how you want to approach a hobby.
>>23878346You keep asking but no one knows anon.
>>23878346John Bandai Jr. here, we cancelled all ballteusees in favor of more sentaislop, so stop asking.
>>23878410I use the least expensive one and its fine. Even with their super duper ones you still need to clean up nubs. With a hobby knife.
>>23878491This should be in the sticky. Especially the last sentence
>>23878381this is the only facrion switcheroo they ever did in gquuuux, i wonder if the immediately backtracked on doing it because they don't want kids mistaking a Sazabi as a Nu Gundam.
And with that we're officially done with the V2AB ver ka. I messed up on the canopy, made it too orange instead of that yellowish gold that the F-35 has. Didn't like the default clear canopy and wanted a tint, also my lacquer was too hot for the clear part and it orange peeled on me.
>>23878532>/gpg/ poster actually posted a good advice/tip >i wont let this thread affect how i do this hobby, so i'm gonna ignore it
>>23878201It's obviously not the whole thing, but I'm not dragging out all the other shit a second time for a photo op. Just know there are two more shelves where the image cuts off because of the spare bed, the majority of the pbandai shit is still in the boxes they were mailed out in, and yet another chunk of MGs are under a table I put together back in high school shop class, about 24-25 years ago.
>>23878558Figures my dumb ass would forget the picture and I won't let me delete the post.
>>23878379I want to believe they will reissue the MG Universe Booster.
I'm a retard and forgot to add some weights on the nose cone
>>23878418>knee blades>giant shouldersBitch that's just the Kyrios
>>23878456I use super clear cans on everything and don't give a fuck, nothing's gone wrong so far
>>23878435No one is stopping you from buying the HGUC Nu from 2008
>>23878539Unfortunately your not wrong
>>23878563Damn dude. How many kits do you build in a year on average?
>>23878606cmon they gave him fucking knee blades for no reason, mg has wingsand ofc it's out of scale because fuck you
>>23878624shut the fuck up
>>23878641or what stupid fuck
>>23878624why does it gotta be like this bros
>>23878649I mean who really cares there's already an MG Kyrios
>>23878650Seriously. A good MG already exists. I could understand for that Harute that got made, but this new changlsop is entirely unnecessary.
>>23878387Well when's it getting reprinted because I've been on the lookout for the past three months
>>23878313>>23878400I'm working on it.
>>23878654You're not forced to buy it, gwailo
>>23878681You're not forced to buy anything. I guess there's no point in having an opinion about anything ever huh?
When you're sanding pieces how do you deal with particles you've sanded off getting clogged and building up into some of the surface details like panel lines?
>>23878699Wash the parts
I'm boycotting all changpla their designs suck
>Hathaway Part 2 made me in the mood to get a Messer kit>look it up on Dalong>the rifle is entirely gray when it's supposed to be red/pink>it's a weird red where the manual says it's actually a shade of brown>matching the color of the rile to the body will be absolute hellFucking Bandai. Why didn't they include the rifle with the body parts sprue instead? Much easier painting in the gray.Anyone ITT ever tried color matching the rifle? How did it go?
>>23878700before or after sanding?
>>23878713>it's supposed to be red/pinkIs it?
>>23878722the majority of the rifle is certainly supposed to be coloured the same as the Messer, it definitely woulda been easier if it was molded in that
>>23878725It looks like its suppose to be a beige colour too me.
Hold up fellas. I'm actually retarded. The manual says it's light gray right there in the corner.I think if I do 40 light gray, 20 white and 10 lemon yellow that would put me roughly in the ballpark. No need to get more paints.
>>23878400It's a test project that was never put into mass production, like the Gyan in regular UC. Once Zeonic obtained the RX-78-02 it became the foundation for their next line of mass production suits, hence the Gelgoog looking like a GM.
>>23878620I try getting six HG kits, two or three RG kits, and two MGs a year. 10 hour night shifts from May to September tend to wear me out especially towards the end of the stretch. Being on call to set up temporary signs when some drunk fuck nugget runs one over doesn't help either. The only good thing about having such a huge quantity is that I've more or less bought everything that catches my eye. So the various 10%/20%/40% sales around the various holidays see me buying paint and the occasional sanding sponges.
>>23878731don't trust the color guide, it only exists to gaslight you into buying Mr Hobby paints
>>23878719What would be the point of washing them to remove the particles if you haven't sanded them yet? Do you wash your clothes before they get dirty or after?
>>23878313Progress on the Second Shrike Victory. Not going to try and transform the Hexa since it is going to be in the actual suit.
>>23878381Those are just mass production gelgoog colors you doofus
>>23878713They're literally releasing a new Messer with a new mould that includes a gun in more accurate colors. Just buy that instead.
>>23878713>matching the color of the rile to the body will be absolute hellNo it actually really won't be.
>>23878764God it's so fucking cool how many Messer mashups we can make nowCustom Messer Groupbuild when
>>23878753Top Rim/half done. The right arm annoyingly wants to seperate right below the shoulder. Hopefully that doesn't affect it holding it's gun/beam saber. Really liking how these colors turned out, even if I've found a few other pieces my clear coat melted a bit after yesterday's mishap. Luckily they are mostly unoticable after a few feet .
>>23878791It's very good at holding its gun and sabers. Do not worry.Also do yourself a favor. When you move the arms, make sure to hold it by the back of the elbow and the front of the wrist. It'll keep the whole thing from falling apart.
>>23878792Oh I know how to move it, this is actually my second MG Victory (although the other was built in like 2011). The peg in socket is just noticably looser on the right than the left and was a bit annoying when docking the core fighter.
>>23878794Try putting a layer of clearcoat on the peg to make it a bit beefier maybe
Should I be wearing gloves, like blue plastic ones, when setting up all the pieces to prime/paint with blu tak and alligator clips after washing everything? Or am I just being too paranoid about slightly touching the parts with my fingertip and thinking the primer/paint will flake off shortly after?
>>23878791And assembly complete. Will probably do some glamour photos later as I have errands to do tonight.
>>23878764The new one doesn't look as good and I missed the preorder window.
>>23878843Ok, now to start the chores, the sun looked at a good angle outside, even if it shows some of those paint issues I mentioned.
What's the least worst Phenex kit?
>>23878868unironically the pg phenex.
Finally finished the G-Quuuuuux HG I purchased last month from Walmart. I like how it turned out, but those tiny stickers were beyond obnoxious to the point where I gave up.
>>23878868Unfortunately the other anon is right. The P-Bandai PG is objectively the best version of the Phenex in 3D form but if you can't afford it I'd settle for the RG. The MG is almost as good as the RG but it inherited the shitty knees that every other MG Unicorn has.
https://schizophonic9.com/re10/hguc_dgundam2nd.htmlLook at 'em go!
>>23878858Wish these beam effects were the new ones that come with the F91 kits or at least if those were compatible with this kit. Also I'm not sure what beam saber this is compatible with if any. I think green would fit the kit better.
>>23878977
>>23878986
>>23878858>>23878986>>23878977is this the inspired from the look of the Victory gundams in crossbone ghost? looks neat
>>23878991Yep, it has the light purple according to the single color cover picture of it. There was a Hexa in the squad even if it got destroyed, but I went with it anyway since I gave a normal Victory already.
>>23878989I do not like these newfangled action base 4s. It's near you can put up 2 1/100s on the save base, but the actual stand part is so much worse than the AB-1s. Kept falling out of the base bottom if I tried a more horizontal pose that even the kind crappy adapter with this kit held on for. Going to add the Harrison F91 to this eventually as part of a Crossbone recolor set.
>>23878935Skipping the Second since it looks almost the same as the First.I'll get the Third later.
>>23879035>Harrison F91 full blue or the colro scheme in steel 7 which adds a bit more of white to the mix
>>23879035that's why I only buy AB1, even the bootleg is better than the new ones Bandai has churned out.
>>23879061It's the F91 2.0 so I think if I'm remembering last week it's the S7 version. It has like 2 yellow runners doing a quick look through the box. Why does the variant manual not have a single color page? Kinda annoying
>>23879078f91 2.0 is the full blue one, frmo the first crossbone manga then
>>23878843>>23878858>>23878977>>23878986>>23879035You should do the black V2 next senpai, also that looks neat. Excellent job painting that fragile thing.
>>23878369do we know what any of the other color schemes he proposed were?
>>23878713Normally I don't paint, but was enough of an autismo to do it with the Messer's rifle because it bugged me so much.
>>23879145For someone who don't paint, that's a really good job right there.
>>23878881Stop lying, all Unicorns have had the shitty knees fixed. They literally modified the original Ver. Ka molds to match the OVA molds in that regard. The real issue is that all non-OVA Unicorns still have the restricted waist rotation and lack of head vulcans.
>>23879210What, even the MGEX?
>>23879210That's because novel unicorn has no head vulcans
>>23879213No, the MGEX is in its own class, but it only exists as stock Unicorn, there's no such thing as MGEX Banshee or Phenex.
>>23879214Still no excuse for the OVA Banshee, Banshee Norn and Rita Phenex to not have them. And also no excuse for the shitty torso twist problem to persist.
>>23879213
>>23878313I am committing shitcrylic terrorism
>>23876940 #I saw blue logo 14As on the shelves in Akihabara last week. Char goog gets reprinted often enough
Just realized that this year is Stargazer's 20th anniversary.HGCE, pls.
>>23879289I hate how the Noir gets more love from bandai when the key MS in the OVA was the Stargazer
>>23879314Unfortunately, Stargazer doesn't have Strike in its name.
>>23878491but I want /gpg/ to approve of me
Mgsd is such a good fucking line of kits. All of them are tanks.
>>23878539That's not how it works anon, what you're doing is just being called a contrarian. The whole point behind not letting /gpg/ affect you is that you actually think for yourself what makes you get enjoyment out of the hobby rather than what the general pressures into what you 'should' do.
I've had the titanium finish strike freedom in storage ever since seeing the movie years ago. I finally snapped it together and am wondering if I can do anything extra to it? I don't want to mess up anything with a special finish like this.
>>23879360Go full sparkle and get Holo waterslides
>>23879225>the shitty torso twist problemPlease don't tell me that you want RX0 to do a 360 rotation...
>>23879398Water slides won't hurt the finish or anything? Is it even worth doing decals since I can't add a top coat to protect them?
>>23879407Ive never had a decal peel off when i use mark fit and mark setter without a top coat but I dont handle my models too much either after I build them.You probably wouldnt want to handle that special coating model too much either. Looks like a fingerprint magnet.
>>23879339SD proportions are unappealing to me. Especially since there is no consistency in specific proportions or scale between any of the SD sub brands.
>>23879407Generally speaking, unless it's a really shitty bandai waterslide or just a super old decal they aren't gonna just peel off on their own. If you aren't handling something it won't get fucked.
>>23879418Mgsd seems like its own thing, more like an MG than an SD. Its a new line but I think there is a uniform scale amongst them.Some of the best kits ive ever put together.
>>23879407Considering that the special coating Unicorn comes with water decal, I'm sure it's fine.
>>23879406I would like more than 15 degrees in either direction.>>23879407Anon, the main ingredients of waterslides are adhesive and water. If the finish can dissolve from water, you've got a huge problem.
>>23879447>I would like more thanI don't give a shit about waist rotation. In fact, Bandai should remove it entirely.
>>23879457Say no more, I got you.
>>23879471Good.
>>23879496I'd say there is a big difference between a kit that has no waist because bandai fucked up and one that just has a ton of armor blocking shit and has one if you take it off.
>>23879504>I'd say there is a big difference between a kit that has no waist because bandai fucked upThey should fuck up more then.
>>23879510
bamcosisters i don't feel so good....
>>23879514That's the ab crunch, not waist rotation. Gustav Karl's waist is fixed. The mid section can mildly rotate like 5 degree, but that's obviously the limitation you dislike.
Waist rotation?
>moooom I posted it again
this kit pisses me offIt's Messer but ugly yet it's so much better engineered than the other one and we are never EVER going to get a 1.5 of M-type or anything like that.
How does a fucking crane game toy mog every single gunpla release of the RX-78-2 in aesthetics?
>>23879574looks like a teenager
>>23879568The previous Messer kits are good.
>>23879584it's OKAY but that's it, very mediocre compared to the new one
>>23879586HG Messer is one of the best grunt kit and that is not gonna change. The only thing bad about it is the lack of actual monoeye sculpt, everything else is excellent. Good range of articulation for such a fat fuck and the kit feels sturdy.
>>23879595the head sculpt is generally kinda poopy, it can't properly open the rear skirts for hovering and the entire modularity gimmick on the shoulders and especially backpack just isn't thereMeanwhile, F-type has all of that.
>>23879599The head sculpt has the standard HG mushy looks. Gawman Messer looks just as poopy.
>>23879599>it can't properly open the rear skirts for hovering and the entire modularity gimmick on the shoulders and especially backpack just isn't thereThe rear skirt literally having subarms to support that and you don't need Bandai to make things modular.
>>23879574I was wondering, why they doesn't use white plastic for the joints? Also would there any issues if you paint on the joints?
>>23879574MG 2.0 looks better that crane toy is majorly twinked with big head mode enabled
>>23879650>MG 2.0 looks betterNo it doesn't, the MG 2.0 looks like shit and it always has.
>>23879627Assuming you properly do it and don't move it too much, no. But painted joints tend to scratch over time even with topcoat.>>23879653You're drunk. The 2.0 is still the best rx-78.
>>23879657>You're drunk. The 2.0 is still the best rx-78.Awful proportions and awful joints. Like every OYW 2.0, it just strips away detail without actually committing to looking cartoony. Modified old no grades are 100 times better at looking "anime accurate".
>>23879674Now if the MG 2.0 looked more like this, then I'd agree.
>>23879574best one is the perfect gundam one
>>23879678>it's short and fat so it's goodMost stereotypical western mecha opinion I've ever readThat looks like fucking shit
>>23879627White KPS has terrible durability and Bandai don't want to return to ABS.
>>23879680>>it's short and fat so it's goodYes
>>23879678Too boxy.A good RX-78-2 model should have subtle curves to recreate the imperfections of a hand drawn animated charater in motion.
Fatfuck = Kino
The Dspiae airbrush paints has a really harsh smell, jesus. Like a very strong brandy.
>>23879674>Awful proportions and awful jointsBut enough about the 3.0.
>>23879695The 3.0 being a horrific affront to good taste doesn't make the 2.0 not mediocreBut then no Gunpla is actually good, because they are toys, not models that actually care about accuracy
>>23879714You are supposed to use your modeling skills to punch them up a level. It's part of why chinky greeblies are awful, there is no canvas left to make your own unless you putty over 90% of the surface first.
>>23879718>they're SUPPOSED to look bad!lol ok
>>23879720They are supposed to be canvases for you to work on, not ready made products.
>>23879723If I have to modify every single aspect of the kit to make it look presentable, it would literally be easier and cheaper to just learn 3D modeling and print your own modelsA shit model is a shit model no matter whether you can polish a turd into something decent with enough work
I dread the day that Moderoid Ishmelga releases. Why can't just GSC prepaint the parts?
yes im paying for shitty plastic models that need 100h to look decentproblem?
>>23879725Why not just buy action figures if you don't want to put in any work?
>>23879653MG 2.0 and Perfect Gundam (sans armor) are the best looking MG RX-78s by miles. Only a chinaman or seamonkey would disagree.
>>23879726Why don't you fucking acquire basic skills already?
>>23878313She's looking fine, the photo doesn't show it, but the blue lines are fluorescent and you can see inside the cockpit without much problem.
>>23879729Why buy a kit where literally every aspect of it is bad?There's a difference between fixing up small flaws on a kit, and having to modify it to such an extent that barely anything of the original kit remains by the end just to get a good result
>>23879734
>>23879732then they shouldn't have priced the Kiseki kits more than an EG
>>23879730>Only a chinaman or seamonkey would disagree.see >>23879674They're only "the best" insofar as their alternatives look even worse but they are not good looking models whatsoever
>>23879736Because that's the hobby you mong. The deeper you get the more you want to modify shit. Fun things are fun.
>>23879740Again, I'd rather just print my own models than spend money on kits I know are bad.
Sounds like you'd rather complain than do anything else
>>23879741NOOOOOOOO DON'T DO THAT YOU MUST BUY CHINESE BOOTLEGS AND FIX THEM YOURSELF REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
You guys can't even tell the difference between original and bootlegs when I post them side by side. I even tricked you guys into thinking my Bandai original HG G Line was a bootleg by swapping the visor with the bootleg's and you guys actually had the gall to say 'we can tell it's a bootleg because the visor color' lmfao
I can tell bootlegs apart from the original because the bootlegs are generally less lazy than bandai's.
>>23879749rotted soul
>>23879738>then they shouldn't have priced the Kiseki kits more than an EGThen Bandai shouldn't have priced any of the HG more than EG.
>>23879754No you're just a liar who doesn't like getting called out
>>23879726>Why can't just GSC prepaint the parts?Why the fuck would any scale model company do that?
I think the MG 3.0 looks good. Just because 0079 was drawn cheaply, doesn't mean model kits from it needs to look back. Katoki also is correct on long legs looking good on Gundam styles Mecha (where they are meant to look humanlike).
>>23879759>Katoki also is correct on long legs looking good on Gundam styles Mecha (where they are meant to look humanlike).Humans aren't 80% legs
>>23879758I think bandai is one of the only big companies that doesn't do that
>>23879763lol
>>23879760Lies, I am typing this with my leg mounted trex arms by the way.
How do I into modeling with minimal spaceI don't even have a small desk available to work on
>>23879763Bandai is super generous when it comes to snapshit pandering. Hasegawa, Tamiya, Wave and Kaiyodo kits will make sure you learn how to paint.

>>23879768And everything with a significant market presence has prepainted parts
>>23879772>everything with a significant market presence has prepainted partsBandai has huge presence in mecha plamo market and gunpla don't have prepainted parts. Tamiya is still the king of military scale models and they don't prepaint the kits. And sorry to break it up for you, but very little people actually give a fuck about those Chinese kits with prepainted runners.
>>23879776Tamiya and bandai are the outliers.
>>23879725If you 3d print you have to paint, anon.
>>23879725You would have to do a lot more work to make 3d printed parts look good.
>>23879778Even the popular billion dollar IP like Warhammer doesn't prepaint the kits.
>>23879766I just run an extension cable and take my airbrush/desk outside. I remember some bitch ass retard on here said he would try to fight me if he saw me doing that lol
>>23879781.02 nozzle and some putty
>>23879778Technically, anything that's not Tamiya or Bandai is an outlier.>>23879779You can always just print in whatever color of filament or resin the part is.However, no nippers will save you from having to sand nine million fucking support marks so it's a moot point.>>23879783There was an outcry recently about them announcing prepainted terrain.
>>23879792>There was an outcry recently about them announcing prepainted terrain.Warhammer is like a drama festival. Not so long ago, fans were shitting on female Custodes. Even the Primaris Marine debut was bumpy and GW had to retcon them into upgrades ( initially they were next generation Space Marines ).
>>23879781A modern resin printer is going to produce higher quality outputs than most injection molding.
>>23879789That's a lot more work than you think it is. You don't need to do that to plastic.>>23879803Assuming this guy is talented enough to design things that look better. He seems to think it'd be easier to design, print and paint resin parts than to just paint plastic ones. He's retarded. I'm just gonna go out on a limb and assume he doesn't know how to do any of those things.
>>23879806I literally do it
>>23879803The detail is not the problem. However, 3D printed kits have like billions of nubs and possible defects. The technology is still too young.
>>23879807Please post something you designed, printed and painted and explain how that was easier than painting a piece of plastic.
>>23879806>He seems to think it'd be easier to design, print and paint resin parts than to just paint plastic onesIf the plastic parts look like ass and you'd have to basically reshape them by hand to get them to look good then yes, it would be easier
>>23879803Resin printing is also a worse biohazard than airbrushing lacquers, and it's going to cost you a fuckload more in photosensitive resin to print the same volume in parts. Not to mention that because resin parts can snap really fucking easily you can never print any load-bearing parts.
>>23879810You're jumping in to defend a guy who's throwing a fit because he's too stupid to work on models
>>23879812It's not. Airbrushing lacquer is worse by far. 3D printing resin doesn't off gas very much even compared to resting solvents, like IPA. The mix is very stable. Most of the VOCs from resin printing comes from the IPA bathing part when you're agitating the IPA.Meanwhile airbrushing lacquer is literally aerosolizing solvent. Might as well just huff VOCs if you're painting without a respirator.
>>23879814You can't even sand resin without precautions. Resin is incredibly toxic.
>>23879471The Victory is an underrated design. It's better design wise than the V2, and I like how it still retains a unique but subtle Gundam look to it compared to many of its contemporaries.
>>23879818I'm convinced the ver.ka is better too. Every issue I had with the V2 doesn't exist on the regular victory.
>>23879817Depends on the resin. A reputable brand that's been properly washed and post-cured (when you stick it in the led box) is going to be, effectively, safe. No plastic is going to be perfectly safe. They all have additives and small amounts of contamination from metals. That's why skin-safe and medical-grade plastics are expensive, they're made to specifically higher standards. >Fig. 4: The effect of extracts of various concentrations from 3D printed, washed, dried and further cured parts at 45°C for 3 minutes on the cell viability of the mice fibroblasts (cytotoxicity). A decreasing number of living cultivated mouse skin cells were observed during a 24-hour period at 37 °C in this test. Mild, moderate and high cytotoxicity levels are represented by shades of grey.Of course, that's a risk with those chinese brands. But honestly probably could be solved with more post curing or heated post-curing. I just stick a heater in my resin curing chamber to cure them at 40C with the lights going. https://blog.prusa3d.com/everything-you-always-wanted-to-know-about-resins-and-safety-sla-printing-but-were-afraid-to-ask_70758/Your composite tooth fillings are basically made out of the same stuff but thickened into a putty btw (you can also buy consumer UV resin putties for modeling). But they're obviously carefully engineered and manufactured to have fewer VOC ppm, and dentists are supposed to do a proper job curing and processing them, but they still literally grind them down in your mouth when adjusting the shape.
>>23879817Also, i don't think the average gunplafag can stand having to work with superglue for the entire assembly and fix the warped parts. Resin kits are basically military plamo on steroids.
do the bb sd gundam still shoot, just grabbed the stardust set. I know some of the older ones from the 80's-90's shoot.
>next Motor Nuclear main release is this abomination instead of Lu Bu's Res HareMy day is ruined.
>>23879760Neither are Katoki kits. They are like 60/40 legs/body+head
>>23879855I prefer when chinese companies lean towards the armored core/ tacticool genre of overdesigned instead of the cheap looking MMO genre of overdesigned
>>23879855They released one great kit recently and they have nothing more to showDepressing
>>23878313Sometimes there are these kits that fight you all the way but I made some progress on the Sandrock. The kit itself is fine, it's just one of things.
>>23879627i've never really had issues with paint scraping on joints when it comes to gunpla. bandai seems to account for painting when it comes to part tolerances. kotobukiya/moderoid absolutely needs sanding for clearance
>>23880005It's been a thing for me here and there. But I had a bad habit of laying down pretty thick layers of paint in the past. I've learned to accommodate with a little sanding and lighter coats of paint.
>>23879730>Perfect Gundam (sans armor)Isn't that just a modified Gundam 1.5?
Big Respirator HATES it when you choose to enjoy the sweet sweet smell of lacquer fumes
now to topcoat and panel line
FUCK
>>23879739wipe the pagpag off your hands before posting.>>23880012Entirely different.
>>23880060why not panel line then top coat?
>>23880082Why not panel coat and then top line?
>>23880082A lot of it is paint apps so to avoid fucking with the paint job I'm gonna gloss coat, panel line, then matte to finish
>>23880082>>23880102same story with other small paint details I gotta add on top of the paint job like for the shoulder verniers
>>23879609No it doesn't you retard, Gawman's Messer's head is much better sculpted than the original Messer head. It has much better vulcan molds.
>>23880119It is the usual dogshit sculpt HG usually have. Messer's vulcans are depicted as black dots on his head just like how Katoki drew the lineart, just paint that shit.
>>23880134The vulcan molds for the original Messer are shit and Gawman's are better. You are a weird contrarian just arguing for the sake of it.
that said the head of the F Messers look way cooler albeit
>>23880141I feel like you are being overly excited for it because it has better color separation and using the word sculpt to dodge the insult lmao. They are black dots on the forehead, who gives a shit?
It's been 10 fucking years and there hasn't been any reprint. Please PB, I don't want to pay the scalper tax.
Finished the RG Unicorn. Disappointing kit, I thought it was more stable. Gonna glue it in a pose and never touch it again
>>23878313Well I'm about done with this thing. Or at least this is as much work as I'm willing to put into it.
>>23880156>He fell for the RG apologistsRookie mistake.
>>23880158
>>23880159Latest RGs like the Zeong, Hi-Nu, Epyon are amazing but Unicorn definitely falls in the shitty early ones
>>23880161did that skull lick a lemon??
>>23880164Looks like it's trying not to laugh at granny's funeral
>>23880144Kazumi Fujita knows what's cool.
>>23880158>>23880161really neat, what paint did you use for the skin?
>>23880151I feel like you're just trying to argue about something pointlessly. Build the kit sometime. The original Messer's aren't in any way molded as if a vulcan could be there, christ, the new one does. It's not even a contest, there's no argument here, the old ones are shallow little shitty convex areas that look like dogshit. These don't. It's not complicated.
>>23880197like god damn it's one of the most common complaints, they didn't do shit with these and it's embarrassing on an otherwise pretty good moldno reason to not have the vulcans in the shield either but oh wellIt's not a contest, the new mold blows these out of the fucking water, the original didn't try for shit.
>>23880200You don't understand. No vulcans is actually a good thing. Otherwise I wouldn't have to drill them out to make it look good.
>>23880154It was on pbandai this year if I recall correctly.
>>23879887Yeah. They went ahead with Lu Bu because it's the main heroine's mech.
>>23880220I missed it by 2 years reeeee!
>>23880195Mr. Color flesh 01 and some Chinese pigment powders I ordered from aliexpress
>>23878313Took apart, and painted, my old V2 gundam to make it match the victory I just did. I had a bottle of super glue talking to me like the green goblin mask the whole time I was putting it back together. This thing is just as bad as I remember it being. One of these is definitely out of scale.
muh big gun
>>23878313>primed the chest, feet and shoulder parts>painted em green>slapped a GM II head on it>topcoated that shitmy custom Gundam Mk-II, but Jerid blasted the head off and I had to replace it with a GM II head
>>23880251nice bang doll
>>23880246I remember the MG V2 got a lot ot shit upon release due to its size, which is way bigger than the scale says and its inherent fragility, is it really that bad?
>>23880197>>23880200So emotional over the 3 black dots that you can color with a marker.
>>23880269PG Nu.
>>23880200>the original didn't try for shit.>Shown a crisp, highly part separated head sculptOh yeally really terrible. They should have sculpted it like MP Nu. Extremely prominent vulcans but the entire head looks like a 1980 mold resurrected.
>>23880272>dem stickerslmao
>>23880263It's minorly more posable than the MG Victory but not by much. It's larger to accomplish that and to also be able to do it's transformation. The transformed forms aren't even that good (have you ever seen anyone display either Victory as a Top/Bottom Rim display?). They would have been much better off cutting the whole transformation to make it pose better or at least made it only have the core fighter dock with the body. It's annoying the best posing Victories are the HGs.
>>23880272>stickers for the womb tattoo in 2026>not even because the kit doesn't have a runner in the right color, just because lazyThat thing is hilarious.
>>23880265>posts lineart specifically showing how bad a job they didwhat do you get out of continuing
>>23880272>yeah what aboutaverage /gpg/ poster
>>23880263It's largely held together with C clips and likes to drop its arms. It's not bad, per se, but it requires a lot of love to make it work. A few applications of joint strengthening pen saved me from having to glue the arms in place. I also had to fix a few broken C clips when I disassembled it but that's just an american power hand issue and isn't an issue with the kit.Overall, I think the normal victory is a lot more stable. I think it's just because it's lighter and isn't as reliant on C clips. They both look fantastic though. I wish I had an excuse to build another victory. Perhaps I'll get a V-dash and the assult buster version. Apparently the buster has a ton of plated parts that aren't undergated and I like a good challenge.
>>23880275>the best posing Victories are the HGs.holy shit
>>23880269HG kits and its not even close, you get a couple hours of build time (assuming youre cleaning your parts and not being an animal), a decent canvas for painting if thats your thing and you end up with a (usually) good looking model with decent-good posability.Its the largest line, the most frequently available at most hobby stores AND is amongst the cheapestIf youre looking for specific kits then that will depend on whats available to you locally. Go to your nearest shop and ask the friendly asian man or weeb behind the desk
>>23880275Everyone actually displays the tops because they both come with a second top fighter.
>>23880287No, that is the core fighter. The top Rim is the waist/chest/arms+core fighter. The bottom rim is the crotch joint/legs+core fighter. That's the reason why both come with 2 core fighters each and the V-Dash comes with 4.
>>23880293>V-Dash comes with 4.Good lord
>>23879568F02 Minelayer is an overall improvement with extra joint to allow the back skirt to go side ways. They may redo the Commander if they decide to give her new equipment in the third movie after resupply.
>>23880296The Overhang packs are permanently attached to the fighter, so you need both a Hexa and a Normal version of both.
>>23880293>Gee Uso! How come your mom let you have 4 core fighters!?
>>23880296
>>23879568>>23880298Golf's Messer F02 got new equipment in movie 2 while Fencer's F02 still has the Minelayers.We may get more M01 variants if they want to sell a pbandai variant. They did say that Gawman's one isn't tuned and has the grey shoulder unpainted due to being rushed out and director mentioned that machines are meant to be adjusted properly as they enter mass production so a typical pilot could operate them, implying more M types will appear for the replacement pilots.I am eager to see if Gawman's M01 model kit comes with a regular left shoulder as well.
>>23880298If you turn the torso around, it'll look like it has tits turrets
>The Difference Between the Messer M-Type and F-Type>“We had always intended to bring out the Messer M-type. Katoki’s idea was that the M-type and the F-type were fundamentally identical in performance, with the only real difference being the factories they came from. But personally, I felt it might be better if there were at least some slight distinctions. So I was glad Director Murase added that line about it still being ‘quirky as ever.’ Of course, that may only be a trait of the early production type. As manufacturing continues and ramps up, it’s entirely possible that performance tuning would iron things out and bring them closer to a standard baseline. After all, once you start assuming less experienced pilots will be coming into the fold, it would hardly be surprising if they put more effort into adjustments.” (Genma)>The M-Type and F-Type Are Fundamentally the Same Structurally“In the setting, the M-type and the F-type are built on the same frame. At first, visually speaking, we were also moving forward on the basis of that same frame. But they ended up looking too identical, so partway through, both the M-type and the F-type were each drawn with their own distinct details. The shared frame remains, fundamentally, a setting-side concept. Unlike the M-type, the F-type stores its beam saber under the armpit area. The M-type, by contrast, has that underarm armor sealed shut, so its beam saber is stored inside the spike shoulder armor on the right shoulder.” (Genma)
>>23880299>permanently attachedNo they aren't. The whole overhang pack is actually just a backpack that slots into the normal backpack. It's (like most of the V/V2) a pretty impressive design in elegance and function. It comes with 4 fighters because it's the Hexa. V just comes with 2 core fighters, Hexa comes with 2. They just duped all the runners and replaced V's head with Hexa's.
Don't forget your daily intake of gunpla
>>23880315I accept I'm wrong about that. I built the V-Dash a decade ago and the Overhang packs have been in the box since I didn't want to use a stand. Iirc the release order went Victory -> V-Dash expansion pack -> V-Dash standalone, so they probably just put all the runners from the first two in the third. I was actually really surprised to see the base Victory getting reprints at all.
>>23880313
>>23880326>>23880313any chance we see a 1/100 kit of this thing?
>>23880326Will wait 2.5 years for Gustav Karl Type 89
>>23880331in 7 years, sure
>>23880331No chance, it is too large. Chinese made a 1/100 purple Messer that was poorly received. No beam saber and has various weight issues.
>>23880332Zeorymer reference. Lanster of Wind.
>>23880331Not liekly. The last two shows have gotten a combined single 1/100 kit and they don't even have fuckhuge leads like this thing and the gundams from hathaway.
>>23880335It is also butt fucking ugly. That doesn't help.
>>23880337
>>23880335A Messer isn't any larger than the Sazabi, size shouldn't be the issue.>inb4 anons start making up rules about what kits get 1/100 releases
>>23880343It's not a rule, but they aren't going to release a 1/100 kit that isn't a P-Bandai variant for a show before the 1/100 of the protagonist's suit.
>>23880343A messer isn't as popular as a sazabi you doofus
>>23880335>it is too largeThis. Bandai can't make anything larger than a Denan Ge>Psycho GundamOh...
>>23880345If the argument is now "Bandai will never make 1/100 Xi therefore Messer never ever" then I also disagree, it ain't THAT much bigger (even smaller in some dimensions) than something like The O>>23880346Well that doesn't have anything to do with size, now does it?
>>23880351Bandai is reluctant to make large kits these days, unless they are a very iconic character. Not every character has equal popularity. It is a combination of the choice of character and size.
>>23880358You don't make massive things that aren't popular. Sazabi is very popular. Everyone loves it. Messers are not.
>>23880359have you ever considered not talking authoritatively out of your ass for once
It's honestly sad that Kotobukiya's VIOS line doesn't even hold a candle to Bandai's plamo let alone Chink plamo, both of which are also sturdier.
>>23880359
>>23880335>poorly receivedMaybe because its actually shit?
>>23880351Psycho Gundam MK2 was to complete the Z Gundam 1/144 lineup. Destroy Gundam was for Seed Freedom.1/100 Xi Gundam may have a chance if it is still long remembered after movie 3, with an ultra high price point.Denan Zon could make many variants and it is currently promoted by the F90 Cluster manga for 1990s Gundam fans.We all know that Bandai focus on HGs and MGSDs now as they want to keep the majority of their products within a price point. Large items are once in a blue moon and irregular. Though, lately their new factory did allow them to reissue MG G Armor and The O which did not get a reissue for 14 years. So they may be testing the market for large items.Either way, if Bandai won't do a 1/100 Xi Gundam, Chinese will likely to make one first. Their KO 1/144 sold well.Chinese will always venture into things that are outside of Bandai's regular scope.
>>23880351You forgot Destroy Gundam
>>23880359>Reluctant>Meanwhile Alyzeus and Psycho MK II says hello.
>>23878313The EG nu effort continues
>>23880375>Chinese will always venture into things that are outside of Bandai's regular scope.I do find it amusing to read that the multi billion dollar company is too small to do what they were doing when they weren't as rich as they are now. Not disputing what you're saying though since you claim that they are trying to put the majority of their products within a "price point" what is your explanation for the PGU Nu, the MGEX Strike, etc?
>>23880378Neither of these would costs as much as a 1/100 messer (which is never happening)
>>23880384No way would a messer RE/100 be over $150, 90-100 at most. MG would be a different story but yeah that probably isn't happening.
>>23880384>An MG messer would be over 157 dollars
>>23880389Yes, this is correct.>>23880387The nightingale is only that cheap because of the massive parts and general lack of detail and features. You can't get away with that with a 1/100 messer (which again, will never happen)
>>23880389Rookie numbers. Check SRX.
I got a Kotobukiya D-Style Might Gaine and Exkaiser for absurdly cheap, is there any chance that they're bootlegs? I sort of hopefully assumed that non-Bandai kits weren't enough of a big name for there to be bootlegs
>>23880246that's literally what I did when reassembling mine after painting, though I did use some ABS cement for those ABS plastic connections.
>>23880380Interesting color scheme, will be nice to see when it's done. Did you purposely do two different shades, or did you not prime first?
>>23880246Just notices you forgot to panel line the head of the V2. It's like the only spot on the kit that really needs it.
>>23880415I haven't panel lined anything on it yet. I always give paint 24 hours before I do that. It's dry enough to assemble after like 10 minutes but I worry about how abrasive a Q tip is and the hot solvents in the panel liner fucking up paint which isn't fully dried.
The hell is SD primer? looks like I bought a wrong one fuck
>>23880432nevermind, it's a "seamline destroyer" primer meant for smoothing 3D print surfaces. Don't know if I can use this for plamo.
>>23880408>Did you purposely do two different shadesAha.... The coats do feel a little uneven but it's mostly the lighting. Its Mr.Color 327 on top of black, which gave me a dark red that looks a lot more saturated red-orange under enough lightI didn't notice that when I initially tested it, kinda cool though
>>23880448It's just primer with microfiller in it. It's pretty handy to have around. It makes it so you don't have to sand surfaces nearly as finely. Alclad makes a similar product and it works great.
>>23880462Just checking as iirc you are the first time painter anon, just making sure you didn't skip a step! Paint job looks pretty good regardless, the bit of surface texture will be completely hidden if you are matte coating it.
>>23880462What ratio of thinner to paint did you use and what thinner?
>>23880391A 1/100 messer would be less intricate than a the 1/144 psycho mk2 is, BUT the psycho mk2 is also the last kit released before they decided to jack up prices across the board. I'd probably put it around 120 if it did exist(I agree that it's not happening though).
>>23880488I agree entirely. An actual master grade would be crazy expensive but a re/100 would still be more than most people would pay for a messer. Unless they found a way to make Char pilot it,
>>23880276It looks somehow worse than the over decade old HG Nu and these guys are supposed to be slightly bigger than average lol.
>>23880397Someone answer me or I WILL cry
>>23880278>>23880277It is not whataboutism. I shown you that the sculpt quality must be judged as the entire piece, not >It has color separated vulcans therefore it is a good sculpt
>>23880397You're gonna have to post photos... How do you expect people to answer without context?
>>238804801:2 paint/thinner with leveling thinner
>>23880528Good shit dude. You did your reading. The paint looks pretty good.
Anyone here put together their own paint booth? I want to upgrade from Chinesium one I've got and I'm looking for fan recs. I know springing for an "explosion proof" one might be overkill considering I've been using one with a glorified computer fan for years, but I'm still looking for informed opinions.
Was experimenting with my phone camera and somehow I managed to get this kind of shot. Sometimes, going the extra mile for that gloss clear actually pays off.
>>23880558How are the nubs on the gold plated parts?
>>23880523it doesn't have colour separated vulcans you dumb fucking whore it's purely about the mold in question
>>23880559they're undergated, but I still would strip the plating off because it looks like shit
Do y'all actually wait two days before topcoating painted parts
>>23880566It looks pretty good in the photo.>>23880569I wait like 20 minutes
>>23880569only if im working with enamels for reverse washing/detail painting, just to play it safe. otherwise i give it a day before i do a clear coat.
>>23880539Just get a duct fan and use it in place of the built in one. I didn't even unmount the one that came with my booth. Only worry about upgrading the box if you need more space and/or light.
>>23880576That's painted gold. the fins and parts of the drive system are in gold titanium while the assault parts are in gold metallics.
>>23880569No, I just wait until they are touch dry.
>>23880569a few hours for me, a day at most if it's lacquer metallics
>>23880592I just want to get an excuse to paint something gold. I've got like 10 shades of gold I haven't had a reason to use yet.
>>23880617time to buy a Delta+ then
>>23880617Hyaku ShikiDelta PlusKnight of GoldKnight of Gold ATKnight of Gold Magnapalace AugeThat one SEEDshit I cant remember the name of (Akatsuki?)
>>23880539A lot of people use furnace exhaust fans, inline duct fans, circulation blowers, even bathroom exhaust fans. You can find most of them on amazon, and pretty much anything around 100 burgers with 100+ cfm will be quality and worthwhile.I personally tossed mine together with coroplast, hot glue, a 5$ furnace filter and thishttps://a.co/d/01lLnKWoIt's not "can spray without a respirator" quality (or maybe it is and my booth is too damn big) but it does a perfectly good job at vacuuming out lacquer fumes, I hardly get even a hint of smell at the end of a session with my respirator off
>>23880635I actually did buy them for a knight of gold I never ended up buying.
>>23880635>>23880625You don't specifically need a gold coded robot. Take any kit and just go full Gold like you're a bond villain.
>>23880643I have a zaku I was saving for a custom I could paint gold. Perchance.
>>23880635Clear MGEX Strike Freedom
>>23880275>>23880280For real? I've been thinking about getting a victory two or an assault buster variant, so i guess picking up an HG v2 somewhere is my best bet?
>>23880688Neither of the MGs have any sort of waist at all, their shoulders are also pretty much limited to just rotation, don't expect any forward or back. Meanwhile the HGs have normal articulation.
>>23880617buy a girlpla and skeet that gold paint all over her
>>23880524I don't know how to differentiate Koto bootlegs, these sure do have small Bandai stickers for some reason
>>23880688If you want those action pose and articulation, get the HG, but if you want the detail and core fighters, the MGs are your best bet. They're not the most articulate, and posing can be extremely limited but they're really detailed very pleasing to look at in a static pose.
When will Bandai realize that KPS suck for MGEX?
The new Gustav Karl is pretty damn great compared to the older ones, legs are nice and sturdy despite the added (unnecessary to me) features to them. I don't know why they went with this particular bazooka design though; they should have used the Stark Jegan style with the magazine gravity feeding so it doesn't get in the way when posing it over-the-shoulder. I'm sick of bad over the shoulder bazookas bros. They're so cool but most kits don't do them well. The spread palm is nice, love to see it, and the hands in general are pretty good quality. The trigger finger is obnoxiously long though and makes compatibility with other stuff a pain in the ass just because of that really. It's nice they're bigger to match the Karl's size but it's actually a huge pain to use any of the other Jegan beam rifles or the Jesta's rifle with it. Anything without a trigger guard is pretty much alright but of course the finger looks really silly sticking out so far. Just autism things, it looks okay with the beam sabre hands holding a trigger-guard-less rifle anyway. But it's still weird. They did this with some of the RE100 trigger fingers too, Vigna Ghina II's is just fucking weird. It's just a strange issue.
>>23880784Oh and I'm a little annoyed they didn't package the ReZEL rifle with it but I'm sure a future release will or some shit as a variant. In general the options for beam rifles that don't look like small little dinky things in the Karl's hands are few and far between especially with lore autism in mind. The new rifle mold is ever so slightly better looking in its hands appearance wise but still feels like a sidearm for something this bulky. I wish they'd give them a larger beam rifle or some kind of heavier beam weapon at some point, just a different proper option to pose them with because there just isn't much that fits for them lorewise without a new design. I don't have a ReZEL so no gun to steal from for it myself, but really I'd rather see something like a beam bazooka for it. It needs something hefty. It's a big guy.
>>23880743KPS is for the shareholders, they know it sucks. They just don't care.
Hot take: Barbatos Adept's brown parts remind me of Kamen Rider Black's brown undersuit joints, which go under the strong foam armor parts.
Why most of the kit in RG line-up are from SEED
>>23880809Because they can easily recycle parts. Also because it sells.
Bandai never made an RG Impulse Blanche
Bandai should be make this cool fellow
>>23880835They could easily convert the hamma hamma into it if they wanted. They won't of course, but they could.
look at all these shelf warmers
>>23880883Gelgoog Vertex is a rad kit. Nothing else too interesting.
I dont give a FUCK about gundamslop kits
>>23880883I love how the only thing with discount is Gqux Dom. Lol. No one wants this guy.
>>23880906I think it's because the box is unjustifiably big.
30 minute stuff is live
More blatant Zoid rip-off than what we have before.
>>23880560>it's purely about the mold in questionThe mold in question is the standard Bandai HG looks. You can shit some more details on it and it will still looking the same as before. Stop crying.
>>23880920Ebikawa fell off so hard
Wait, CLEAR BLOX!? It really is Zoids Blox all over again!
>>23880560Just paint your own vulcan details.
OMG it's Chatty!
Basho when?
>>23880930Finally, clown colored Wall-E is in
>>23880921it literally doesn'tstop shitposting for once in your useless life>>23880927there are no details there
>>23880934I'm gonna buy Gawman Messer and then sand the vulcans away just to piss you off.
With the new AC6 weapon set. It's now possible to recreate Bitter Promise.
>>23880919>>23880920I am actually looking forward to it for the kitbashing potentialsDamn the kit bashing for this line is kinda hard because all the part useful for bashing are extremely hard to find in Japan for some reason. granted, I can sorta scratchbuild/ bashup some of existing parts, but it does kinda ruin the original point somewhat.
>>23880936That reminds me I could boot up my AC save and see if I can make my AC in real life.
>no new Fantasy PV Damn
>>23880932I want more red gun ACs man
>>23880938The one armed melee gimmick kinda sucks since the game was designed that way. Gen 4 AC kits have dual melee, which is easier to make kitbash builds in my opinion.
I wish they dismiss the android shit entirely. Seeing highly advanced machines in fantasy setting throws me off.
Finally, forks and knives for my HGs.
>>23880942The entire 30ML production seems to be slowing down. They announced one new 30MM and one new AC lol.
>American werewolf in London
>>23880951They just made a 30mm pv instead anyway
Tryphobobia
>>23880952Seeing this now makes me say Bandai is ready to make White Blaze.
Honest question - is so called "ecoPla" more prone to degradate over time? Every time I hear "eco" I right away think "break down quickly over time".
>>23880919Time to leave them all behind!
>>23880956Ecopla are made of melted KPS without chemical recycling. They are literally retail trash.
>>23880920i'll take it. it kinda looks like Shadow Fox.
>>23880946They're basically Bionicles. It would be interesting if they eventually introduced villagers lol.>>23880951They've been consistent with the AC release with two named AC's per year. To be fair, the amount of 30 minute products in general has been insane and the preference line to further expand.
>ChattyWHERE IS FULL COURSE
Bandai is going all in with 30MF.
>>23880962>if they eventually introduced villagerConsidering they already have samurai troopers as a part of 30MF, it's not impossible
>>23880964Motor Nuclear MOGS them all
>>23880963I feel like bandai is too jewish to immediately give us a complete set of parts as a kit. I swear, double trigger AC's will be a feature.
Why did Bandai never thought of making MGEX Amazing Strike Freedom or Perfect Strike Freedom
>>23880970Same with how they never make Full Armor parts for MGEX Unicorn.
>>23880970It's because I thought of them first and I didn't allow them to.
>>23880935I couldn't give the slightest fuck about what you do with your model
>>23880966Did Bandai make photo realistic human kits before? All of their human kits so far are anime characters.
>>23880976Kinda did with hard graph stuff
the new 30mm sisters will never be half naked anymore. what's even the fucking point?
>>23880960Shouldn't it be brittle instead, then?
>>23880932I hope they follow through by recreating the asymmetrical coloring of the RLF but I think Cannon Head is more likely to get released first.
>>23880980You can always paint them the way you like.
>>23880981That's what they are known for. They wear off faster than newly produced KPS.
We start with our last IM@S You & I release, the Gakuen rep. 30MS stuff is almost always a dartboard pick anyway, so I won't expect much.
Waste of time... All for cloth outfits? Give us another school uniform!
>>23880994Calm down, Jeffrey.
Bandai Candybros....
>>23880994>2200 yen for the yukataI was expecting it to be priced higher.
>>23881000I wonder what's the average price for a doll yukata
>>23880993i love saki but jointshit sucks
Give me Kyoko and Sayaka already
No new 30M Skelly?
>WHOREki
Sword of Light looks awesome even for a gray prototype!
Where's 30MM Steel Haze Ortus
30MM RX-78-2
>>23880993if they release the Kotone or Hiro girpla they're going to sell out very fast
30MP tachikoma sounds fun
>>23881016>maid costumeokay this will sell like hotcakes!
>>23880932>regular priceI was expecting it to be be priced the same way as the larger ones. I'm really interested in how it builds as the fortalezza might be the most complex to recreate out of all the tank legs.
>>23881022you mean Ililja
>>23881022>>23881027Not happening, "main girls" only, not even the super popular ones outside Shimas.
>Homu figmai suddenly care!
>>23881025It has Orbitter and Milk Tooth parts, both of them are not that big.
When are we gonna get SOL-644? Not the Ayre version.
>>23881016even if you don't play Blue Archive, this kit is going to be a hot item regardless because of the maid costume. it's going to be a very popular kitbash material.
>>23881047Uooohhh ToT
>>23881047I don't play BA but her porn is ballblasting
>>23881037Model kit. You can make a more amazing kitbash with them now.
>>23881051for me it's Miyako in her swimsuit costume
>>23880993Oh, great, 572658th Idolmaster kit nobody outside of Japan buys. But surely Bandai will ship tons of those to Europe instead of 30MM/proper Sisters kits and later complain that these don't sell.
guess it's going to be recycling the old packs
BANDAI WHERE IS ALBA STEEL HAZE ORTUS!?
>>23881047I like the gun, it's a really cool shape but still generic enough not to clash and look out of place next to a lot of things.
At long last
The spider is gonna be huge, i can already tell.
>>23881047
>>23881079
>>23881078I will be affixing a 3d-printed cock and balls
Is the MG Gn-X a good build?
>>23881083Wow anon, you can't just spoil the manga like that.
>>23881085the problem is finding one in the first place
>>23881091Problem solved, it’s in stock right now. How’s the build?
last groupbuild result showed that popular vote was a joke so I've invited a jury of experts consisting of me to judge the next one
>>23881081None of them will catch my heart the way the Tachikomas of SAC did.
>>23880696Please respond
Is the Gyarados Pokepla good for you
Can you safely paint chinesium grade POM parts?
>want to buy MG Altron>it's pbandai >4 times the price of other Wing MGssheesh
Is it too humid to spray can a top coat of semi-gloss? It's like a swamp all week but I heard that you can do spraying in the 60%.
>>23881228I wouldn't bother, I've had frosting above 60%
>>23881147Does it matter now? You have the kits already, build them and enjoy.
>>23881228Holy crap, im in the South west U.S and no bullshit Im pretty sure I would actually melt in that level humidity. Most is 35% here during monsoon season
>>23881227The real problem is tariffs, when I bought mine it was the same price as Sandrock and Heavyarms Custom.
>>23881078will they include a gremlin faceplate?
>>23881081This is almost half the price of the Makoto, does that mean the Fuchi will be small and won't scale with the Makoto?
>>23879887Which kit?
Wtf is the point of 30MF? If I want knight model kits I'll just get SNAA, they're the same price and way better.
>>23881309The Jihu, incredible looking guy
>>23881252Okay... ;_;
>>23881376Aye, I have one in the mail heading my way now. Love the semi realistic design of it
>>23878418I really hate giant knees on mobile suits. It looks like swinging a rifle around would just get caught on them and it'd get you killed when you'd need to shoot an enemy. Stupid design.
>>23880617Paint a Hyaku-Shiki colors Zaku II. Say it's piloted by Quattro. Exclude the monoeye entirely.
>>23881384where'd you get it from? I've been eyeballing it on aliexpress but I don't trust any of the listings
>>23881443Gundammit. I looked on Ali too but yea, it can be kinda sketchy. Good price compared to ali also, 79.99$ before shipping
>>23881443>>23881447I've never once had an issue on Aliexpress, just don't buy from the listings that are like 50% of the actual price.
