Was that new Ultrasaurus a motorized toy or a scale model
Surprisingly clean for a chink design.
>>23885423Where are the spikes and wings
Painting pure white on solid black is such a pain in the ass. At some point I just said screw it. This is as good as I can get those details in.
>>23885423not a fan of the "power suit" aesthetic, but this is much better than the spiky wuxia shit commonly seen in chinkshit.
>>23885438white primer is opaque. use that when you need to paint white on a very dark colour.
>>23885438You would have been better off paint it white and then just masking off the white parts instead of painting it black and then detailing in the white bits.
>>23885438should've placed a gray or neutral gray layer first, instead of painting your white directly onto a black surface
about making candy paint, can I just use black gloss on gray surfacer instead of black? I realized I bought a gray surfacer just because I ran out of it, but have no plan to actually use it.
>>23885474yeah no problem with that
>>23885474You can, black paint has good coverage anyway so the primer under it doesn't have any significant influence over the final product. The primer being a different color may also make it a little easier to make sure that you got every surface since it would be better visible than just black with a different finish
>SHADOWOH NO
Is there a website that shows the actual number of parts that a kit has?
>>23885478>>23885482all right I'm gonna experiment candy on Neue Ziel and Zaku
>>23885491Remember, for candy coat you want your paint layers in multiple thin coats
ngl I like the NCZ Shield Liger more like Van's. I'll just paint the blue one.
changlong mb
>>23885505holy shit Bandai LOST
>>23885505>not 1/144 Meh, already have the actual MG.
>>23885483why is literally every suit from MFG a P-Bandai
>>23885505bootleg figure or a kit of the mb?
>>23885513it's Changlong so it's a model
>still no kit of the Metal Build KampferPain.
>>23885513kit
>>23885505holy shit a Providence MB bootleg finally!
>>23885505>overdesigned providence but now in very shit chinesium plastic
bootlegers just can't get their plastic to In-Era and Motor Nuclear levels
>>23885505This looks awful. Like Michael Bay Transformers. This is just visual vomit.
>>23885511Because only a handful of burgers care about G Gundam
Holy shit this is way better than the handgrenade HMM proportion wise. TT is BACK.
>>23885505damn Daban's 88xx series got beaten
>>23885521>now in very shit chinesium plasticAh yes the unicorn magic dust that Bandai uses for Metal Build.
>>23885511because japs are ok with thatthey all come with stand etcnew molds and shit
>>23885526G is more popular in America than SEED. Wing and Witch are probably the most popular.
>>23885524That's what money looks like.
>>23885533>OH N-
>>23885524they need to be like that to justify the price tag of $400+ for legit onesmain target audience is china probably anyway
>>23885538Gauche? Yeah, that sounds right. Money can't buy taste.
Is the LED worth it for the F-91 2.0?
>>23885543Do Changs really like Metal Build? The paint quality looks like vomit.
>Disgusting orangpeel on the blue parts>Visible, unsanded nubs>That will be 500 dollars plus tax, sir!
He's not bad, has about the same articulation as an SDCS GaoGaiGar or any of his super robot buddies that come with an inner frame. Colour correction is needed as they give you only a handful of painted parts and no stickers whatsoever. It's an understandable amount of partsformation apart from the fact that the white piece for his front skirt is meant to be stored inside the train thing otherwise - and you'd have to fish it out with a toothpick every time. Best to set it aside with Gaine's torso, which is just about the only spare part you'd be left with.Exkaiser probably could benefit from more colour correction but either him or the humble GM II is next, a pretty fun build overall though. I appreciate the extra hand for his cool speech.
jesus christ why is every plamo company going all out on July this year?
>>23885568Kids are gonna be at home 24/7
Bandai released the same robots 5 times
>>23885563Notes I forgot:>actually has butterfly joints for shoulder movement>skirts do accommodate for all directions, I've never seen an SD have a movable back skirt in my life>can't look up that much the way a Mazinger can, but can look up enough for an SD>you have way more loose parts in robot mode than train mode (trains mode? trains modes?)>sword's a bit loose in his hand>plastic quality's alrightModeroid instructions sometimes felt unclear compared to Bandai's, but with the transformation and the additional hand, I could tell a lot of love went into designing this kit. And nabbing it for the price of a fucking rando HG wasn't too bad either.
>>23885568what releases? on top of my head there's nothing very interesting for the rest of the year>>23885577don't look up "zaku"
>>23885592I love you, Davido-senpai HEEELLLLOooOo~
>>23885423Pretty cool. Wonder if the cloak will be cloth
I was building two to serve as escorts for the ReHaze but since Effect Wings announced they're making an Advanced Kehaar II set I shelved the other one for the time being.They all look so pretty bros. Damn near brings a tear to my eye. No need to look at the illustrations all day and wonder "One day." anymore. They're all right here in my room now.
>colored box for the M-02Huh? Isn't it P-Bandai?
>>23885490Il bump for a answer to this, im also curious
>no holes for the head vulcansHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
>>23885592Hey your alright anon, Godspeed. To all you fags out there
Question: is the Gelgoog 1.0 any good? The Johnny Ridden custom and Cannon version got reprinted recently and since it’s pretty damn cheap compared to the 2.0 which goes for over a $100 since it’s only been reprinted once. It’s so damn rare now that it’s only about ten or twenty dollars cheaper than the Uma Lightning and Ridden retools. The 1.0 looks really weird but it’s closer to the line art I suppose and the plastic quality looks really shitty but I’m desperate for a 1/100 goog.
>>23885577The same, huh?
>>23885592>>23885594G-goodbye... ;_;
>>23885511They aren't confident that anything that isn't the Shining, God or Master can sell on its own (Nobell is in its own niche category due to being girlpla-adjacent). It's also an excuse to Premium the shit out of them with all the extras.As for why G is getting this treatment and not X, keep in mind that the Shuffle Alliance kits already started several years back, and X only restarted getting love due to the GWX anniversary which they only really kicked off last year. Who knows, we might eventually see "standard" Shuffle Alliance hitting the shelves as retail, that happened to the Wing upgrades awhile back. It would still be in character for Bandai, since a lot of the P-Bandai catalog re-sells you the entire retail kit alongside the extra parts instead of selling only the extra parts.
>>23885605It was already apparent the mold was far sharper and had molded vulcans, but I too enjoy a good rub in the face to the resident idiot
How does sprue goo turn out with clear colored PS, can I get good looking sensors out of it?
>>23885409currently attempting a ma.k. type scratchbuild (spaceship)
>>23885658use UV resin for those instead
>>23885671forgot to crop
>>23885673Needs a Yakult bottle, cool build!
poor people in my country really like blokees
>>23885673beautiful hand
>>23885423>Chinese Guyver I like the hat, I wish there's more girpla with that type of hat.
>>23885423Is it available to buy yet? I dig it
>>23885609The shoulders sag very easily, not sure if 3D printed poly cap replacements will help.
>>23885588>ZakuNo, Zaku is their most popular monoeye. Messer is just very obscure in comparison so it having 5 different releases is surprising.
>>23885742One of them is just a recolor so I wouldn't really call that a 'variant'
>starting to like weird shit like G40, FSS, Mazinger and Strike Freedomis my third eye finally opening?
>>23885815>Strike FreedomNothing weird about that. SEED stuff is in fact one of the most entry level stuff.
>>23885815>weird shit>Strike Freedom>MazingerWhat the fuck are you talkin about
>>23885808No, you can build Type F Naked from Commander Type. It has different backpack and symetrical shoulders.
>>23885827strictly not different backpack, just the one underneath the main onebut the M type doesn't have that feature unlike the F type because Bandai has shit taste
>>23885831>just the one underneath the main oneNo, Type F01's backpack doesn't allow you build Type Naked's basic packpack. You will need this part and probably the shoulder part too if you don't want to sacrifice a Messer kit.
>>23885848my bad, I have a concussion and got my letters confusedI meant the type M DOES have it and type F doesn't. And it's done so well on the M type too, I'm salty they put so much more love into the worse design
>>23885850I wouldn't call those obvious hard points to be good.
>>23885855nah it's genuinely perfect, it's sublime and subdued but functional. If you want you can fill them in and if not it's natively compatible with everything else
>>23885855Just plug those with your branded 30 minute missions 3mm hole plugs!
>>23885850>type M>worse designshit fucking taste
>>23885864I will make you kneel
