>>23894957>doesn't say "DANGAR"these chinamen can't do anything without fucking up can they
>>23894957This is the equavilent of turning the gas chamber into a scale model.
>>23894969Surely that's already a thing
>>23894970A number of people threw a fit at AK Interactive over exactly that.
>>23894957>not DANGAROne job.
>>23894974>it's realHoly kek, gotta admire the unconventional approach
>>23894957>not even lore accurate.Into the trash it goes.
Okay, my 30MS, christened Ingrid, is now varnished and soon will get a photo session. Not very original but she is not here to win the Groupbuild, I simply had to participate. But I like how she turned out in the end. My only complains would be how with her haircut she looks like having gigantic forehead and how her satin covering on "bodysuit" parts is less shiny than I hoped it would be. But I still like it. As usual, phone camera fails to catch proper contrast.
>>23894988a-awooogaaa holy booba.
>>23894861Why are you manhandling things? I have never wished a piece was ABS, while I have wished pieces were PS given how annoying ABS is to sand and look right. ABS is also usually annoyingly shiny.
>>23894988She's cute! I like how the body stocking came out. The color transitions are real subtle.
ABS goodPS suckYou would know if you build CHANGKINO
Forgot to include side and back views.>>23894991It's not even biggest cup size among Sisters ;_;>>23894995Thank you. Previously I was painting these sections with brush, like the rest, this time I used airbrush for pretty much everything (I still prefer brush work but I treat it as training with different tools) and as such transitions are much more subtle. Also, it was done by starting with burnt umber and going up with adding skin tone but recently learned of better way to do that - by applying uniform skintone, then shadows with black/dark grey and finally fabric shade uniformly all over. Something worth trying next time.Also, funny how phone camera can't really decide on white balance, making her sometimes more orange and sometimes a little towards magenta, depending on spot. Oh and I used water-based acrylics (AK), somewhat putting a hole in this whole "but acrylics are baaaad" shitposting.
Her back.
And her weapons. Cable is simply here to replace her back "hangar" part in case it would cause problems with posing.
>>23894992>while I have wished pieces were PS given how annoying ABS is to sand and look right. The most unfortunate statement in a modeling thread.
>>23894988Very well done, anon. Personally I wouldve used bigger boobs but that's just me.
More ABS for us paintGODS
>>23894992Being shiny doesn't matter if you actually paint shit.
>>23895033>>23895014>>23895006I do paint and have built Chinese kits. Doesn't mean I like ABS.
>>23894988looks like she fucks balls
>>23895079agreed
>>23895036What makes you think i was talking about Changpla? Plenty of old gunpla have ABS joints.
Is the only option for getting gundam base kits outside of the actual stores paying scalper prices online?
>>23895094Yeah pretty much. Pbandai.
>>23895094>gundam baseanother option is painting
>>23895097Thats gay
HOBBY MIO > DOGHAND
>>23895102Had my god hands for years at this point. This is why I use a tamiya sprue cutter to remove the parts with plenty of nub left over and then I trim down the nub with a single bladed.
>>23895102>use very sharp (and thus very brittle) nippers to cute parts from sprue after being told repeatedly by numerous people and producer themselves NOT to>cry when it breaksPikachu.jpg
>>23895090That was to the guy who said changkino. Not everything is about you. It's about how ABS sucks.
Which ones will you buy or skip?
>>23895114Buying the Avid. Might buy some of the FMP kits. Maybe the Star Driver, but it's pretty down there.
Simi-newb here with a question. I want to use a metallic blue gundam marker to color the front and rear cameras on my EG Strike's head. Can I do this after top coating it? I feel like if I use the blue pen before applying a top coat then it won't look as metallic
>>23895114>patlabor brickroidIm so weak to patlabor merch that I'll definitely get them if I can.
>>23895116Depends on the top coat. Gloss or matte? If matte remove mask the painted part first.
>>23895114Probably buy Wings of Rean. Skip the rest.
>>23895114Holy shit they announced tauburn?
>>23895114>GettingPacific Rim>If my wallet can handle itRaijin-OhConcrete Revolutio
>>23895114
How do I install this moisture trap on TC20T?No matter which angle I start (rotating) from, it always ends up tight fit when the position is upside down.
>>23895156or is it not supposed to be tight fit? but then the air would spill out
>>23895156Mine came with it on, but does the but to the compressor spin independent of the trap when it isn't attached? I've had similar this where the nut locks both sides rotations when on.
>>23895103Switching between nippers so often sounds like a pita. I'll stick to my middle ground DSPIAE.
So, what the fuck do I do to panel line my abs chink kit with pour type markers without fucking up the plastic? Can I just top coat the runners and panel line on them?
>>23895163water based from Stedi
>>23895163See, more reasons to hate ABS as you have to think about this.
>>23895159mine wasn't pre-attached, probably to prevent accident during delivery.I found a youtube tutorial and the dude taped the connector, maybe that's the key...
Which MG Rezel should I get
>>23895161The switching is second nature to me now. Plus I don't do one part at a time but cut out all the parts in a piece so you spend more time with one before switching to the other.
>>23895171I guess it is supposed to be loose and wobbly, but with extra friction from the tape. weird design choice...
>>23895171Yeah, you want Teflon tape on any threading that holds back liquid or gas. I don't think it will effect the rotation though (might be wrong). The trap will not work upside down.
new Fat Cat release when?
>Fat Cat.
>>23894949Parts arrived! I have some idea what to do with her now. If I don't fuck it up, more pics will follow.
>>23895176A + B unit
>>23894957>literal mustard gas
>>23895184Apparently they got hit by Bandai ninjas and rebranded as Abawakong (retarded name).They recently released an upscaled RG Zeong.Not sure if the rumor is true but the quality of this upscale does seem like it's from Fat Cat.
>>23895114Gipsy Danger....MOGUERA is cute too
>>23895114Gipsy Danger definitely, I'd go all-in on a pacific rim line if they continued
I'm thinking about buying the HG Gcuck again. Iwonder how it looks in person and if the build is fun. The gazillion stickers are off-putting.
>>23895255Buy the gqux hambrabi instead
>>23895255>>23895260Do not support G-Qux.
>>23895195Oh okay, I wasn’t aware that was them and I was ignoring that zeong. Still don’t really care about it but at least someone who can upscale competently is still out there.
>>23895266>>23895260>>23895266Support GQux but only non-zeek designs
>>23894947looks like something from the amazing digital circus.
>>23895114Oh shit, they are making Orguss 2? That is fucking awesome.
>>23895279Aren't all of the designs zeek ones since zeon won the war?
>>23895114skip them all cuz im broke baby
>>23895266literally the only good work of fiction in the last decade
I was thinking of getting the weird bootleg Ashtaron kit but now that the official HG was announced there's no point anymore
>>23895291Not the Hambrabi
>>23895291are all boomer UC designs feddie ones since they won the war

>>23895317Are you okay
>>23895328no
>>23895333Good
>>23895334
Am I the only one here who still wants to see Bandai make an RG Zeta Gundam Ver.2.0?
>>23895336Its probably being worked on, Bandai is trying to make it less fragile and more sturdy than the 1.0.
>>23895317Definitely could use a revive version.
>>23895336Have you seen the ugly abomination that is 78-2 2.0? Do you really want Zeta to suffer the same fate?
>>23895114where do I even buy
>>23895193Is it easy to switch between A and B
>>23895336We still need ZZ, Ex-S and F91 RG 1.0 kits
what about exia/00 RG 2.0
>>23895367needless pointless useless worthless
>>23895367If they're still doing main suit + rival suit I'd rather see RG Reborns or RG Master Gundam or RG Qubeley
>>23895357You forgot RG Victory
>>23895156just put a bunch of Teflon tape on the threads
>>23895336It wouldn't be any better than the 1.0, beyond maybe slight cosmetic improvements. Advanced MS joints are honestly the only way you can have a non-partsforming Zeta in 1/144 scale without having to resort to machined metal parts. Using a self assembled frame would only make it even weaker than the 1.0 already is.

This kit frustrated me so much, and it was mostly my own doing from my own tool choices. It was also more complex than I expected, so I am glad I didn't choose this to be my paint testpiggy.>mr hobby panel pens tip couldn't get to some panel lines due to part geometry, or didn't flow nearly enough in to shallow panel lines>had to overpaint and iso alcohol off for most of the legs, giving imprecise/smudgey results>had to use the stickers for the cockpit and wings since the gundam pens are too chonky>emptying the pen out in to a dish and brush painting offered poor results>gunmetal grey gundammarker on the guns is far darker than the pencap led me believeI really feel like all the pen products are noobtraps now, and I guess they worked because I'm a noob and they got me. They seem so easy, but are extremely frustrating on anything fine. I spent so many hours on the blue wing tips just to end up cleaning it off and using the stickers. The only benefit of the hobby panel liner pen is that it wont ruin bare plastic, so its nice for casual building of simpler kits, but doesn't give a good finish on fine details like proper panel liner. The kit looks fine on a shelf, but getting close I just see all my errors :(My airbrush and compressor are in the mail. I don't think I'll use the markers again for anything over than small details, like the codpiece vents and the green parts. I like the effect of the gold on the chest and shoulder discs too, not canon yes but fuck it I thought it'd look cool.

>>23895767They look nothing like the titanium finish.
>>23895784You just need to find the right paint combos. You can absolutely get titanium paints and then tone them.
I realized I already did this before...
>>23895788>.then tone them.It's a different thing from those special coating releases.
>>23895795It won't be covered in nub marks where there's no plating, for starters
what do you think about EW redesigns? That hasn't happened before, has it? Retroactively changing designs for a different medium/release
>>2389579908th MS team actually did it first and they retconned the weird redesigns into being unique models
>>23895802ohstill my question remains
>>23895803Universally they are improvements.

Then again, the day before I bought a tin containing someone's military badges, a medal and some trophy stuff from someone's tour to Indonesia for pennies indeed The colonial police action (as they like to call it) against the locals is still a sensitive topic but it's harsh to just dump grandpa's memories at the thrift store.

>>23895317GP01 pisses me off because they haven't made a 1.5 or 2.0 of it yet and it really needs one that combines the Ground and Full Vernier versions.
Why do Bandai hate Stardust Memory? Even if there people who hate SM, they still love the mobile suits
>>23895988GP02 is even worse off. The orginal kit was really bad even for the time. At least GP01 has a banger PG.
>>23895993luckily changs made a banger GP02 that Bandai can only surpass if they somehow made a MGEX GP02 they won't
Where do you usually buy new releases in Tokyo? I've got a flight tomorrow and I know about the surugayas and the mandarakes and the bookoffs, but where do you get stuff that's like not priced to high heaven? Looking real forward to picrel
>>23896011last time I was there. Yellow submarine and bic or yodabashi camera had the brand new releases
>>23896011The best deals are found in small shops with "no gaijin" signs on their doors, and as you probably can guess you as a gaijin aren't welcome.
>>23895576Regenerate Gundam
>>23896034Those signs are for Raj
>>23895991Stardust Memory is infamous for being terrible in Japan. The whole reason why Rebellion manga exists is to rewrite the story into something more digestible than the anime.

>>23896082W I D E
>>23896081The right two actually aren't that far off, they just look it because the white plastic washes out detail.
>>23895991Supposedly Bandai suits don't like the GP02 specifically because it doesn't fit the "Gundam Formula". The guy that designed it even said in a interview that the design would probably be rejected if he tried to submit it in today's environment.
kek Bandai is seething that their tabletop is being "pirated", when it's a common thing in Warhammer.
>Meanwhile Bandai.
>>23896118The logo's wrong.
>>23896054do you enjoy?
>>23896082in fairness these pauldrons really are BIG, I think this is a valid interpretation too
>>23896094>they just look it because the white plastic washes out detail.No, EW Sandrock's vulcans are part separated while TV Sandrock's vulcans are not. The entire head itself also has more parts than TV Sandrock's head. The features are more defined.
>>23896120No it's correct. Bandai CANDYGOD products would never bootlegged

>rainy seasonYeah. Fuck off. I can't topcoat matte even on airbrush.
>>23896171The face isn't heroic enough. It's very much a villain looking suit and modern gundam design(even for the bad guys) tends toward mechanical super heroes.
>>23896176Japanese boomers having shit taste sure is an annoying constant.
>wing zero ew at china
>>23896181There is also the issue that it carries a nuke, and some older japs are still sensitive about that.
>>23896182Did chang forget to watch endless waltz to confirm that's what it looked like?

>>23896189>hey guys this thing's gonna get stolen by Zeon in a few months so make sure you design the face to look evil >you got it, bossIs this really how you think it happened?
>>23896189Yes, but even then modern antagonist suits are designed to be heroic looking, because that sells.
>>23896201yes?same with sinanju
>>23896201Stop being obtuse, anon. It's a show, that means the people producing them already know the thing they design is meant for a hero or villain beforehand. Don't tell you're going to be bamboozled and go what are the odds when a show with a character called Lois Cyfer ends up being a villain.
>>23896206In real life maybe but not in-universe, which is my point. You're just being obtuse.
>>23896222Louise Cypher is usually a good guy though.

Well, that was quick.Bootleg HG Barbatos Adapt. Good for people who just want to take the frame, I guess.
>>23896256were the ibo frames actually unsalvageable
>>23896263The kit has bonus KPS parts to replace the original polycaps.
why'd they got rid of the slopes?
>>23896278that was the first thing I noticed, I don't really like the new shoulders much. That and the vertical line on the face plate look a little ugly.
>>23896282I don't mind the vertical line on the face plate, though the shoulders will definitely need putty work to make it accurate.
>>23896256darn you were faster than meKind of tempted by it because it's the only Barbie I like. Star bootlegs are pretty alright AFAIK, I wonder if their knockoff frame will be better than old Bandai ones
>>23896278It is a total redesign from Katoki's lineart. The legs are fatter and slightly shorter too.
>>23896288thank god
>>23896285>though the shoulders will definitely need putty work to make it accurate.Really depends on which accuracy you are aiming for. Katoki meant for the shoulders to be bumpy, but the animation version made it flat. The only thing you need to to fix is the forearm since it doesn't have the middle seamline like the HG.
>>23896293genuinely 99.99% of people will neither notice nor care about the forearm

>>23896321It's ok to be wrong anon
>>23896321An accurate scaling of Wing MS would give you a Hexagear Governor.
Why are both MG/RG Tallgeese II & III kits in P-Bandai? They both piloted by two main antagonists in the series, shouldn't they be in retail? If Bandai can sell the same kits in retail, why can't they?
>>23896330for one nofor two I don't care half as much about the precision of the overall scaling simply the size of the wings>>23896326sorry but WZ's opening wings aren't complicated

>>23896333They're both uglier than the regular goose, that's why
>>23896334>sorry but WZ's opening wings aren't complicatedRG Wing Zero's binders have its own transformation mechanism, the vernier can be opened and the wings are supported by subarms to achieve a good range of articulation. Not to mention it has more plastic to avoid looking hollow like the HG.
RG Zero's binders alone have more parts than the entire HG Zero.
Hey /gpg/, anyone also from Canada know the best way to get Premium Bandai USA products here? MG 1/100 HEAVYARMS is in stock for per-order but I have no idea how to get it here or if there's any good/trustworthy couriers that will bring it over
>>23896352that's cool man but it doesn't need to be that size. I don't know why you keep going like there's an argument.
>>23896363It needs space to contain all of that content inside and the material such as KPS is not ideal for a complex yet small joints.
>>23896369it doesn't need to be that elaborate and they can easily put a frame on the smaller wings for muh RG detailonce again what are you doing? why are you arguing? is this a compulsion? like the wings all you want I don't care bro I just don't give a fuck, they're too big and look stupid.
>>23896361just pay 300 CAD to get it from your local gunpla store
>>23896340The master grade isnt
>>23896370You're too big and stupid too but nobody is throwing a fit about that
>>23896378you sure about that? do you know who you're speaking to?
>I told you about those Chinese plastics, bro
>>23896381Chinesium WON
>>23896381This is what happens when you only fold it 999,999 times
>>23896333Goose 3 isn't piloted by any antagonist.
Anyone have any recommendations for a silver/chrome marker? I have a metallic silver Gundam marker and this thing kinda sucks. Dunno if it's because it's been sitting in a drawer for over a decade or what.But even if I shake that thing like a retard the color never really comes out right.
>>23896340wing midseason upgrades became retail release afterwards.
>>23896381That nipper has more rust than my century old house
>>23896370>once again what are you doing? why are you arguing? is this a compulsion? like the wings all you want I don't care bro I just don't give a fuck, they're too big and look stupid.You are getting too emotional, bud. Have a smoke break.
>>23896390Zech was the main antagonist. Treize was just a secondary villain.
>>23896379Didn't mean to catch you in the crossfire MG The-O. I don't think you're too big or too stupid.
>>23896406Do you live near the ocean?
>>23896361order chink version on ali
>>23896417No, but it is consistently 90% humidity here.
>>23896423Salt in the air is what makes them rust like that
>>23896425Oxygen and moisture are enough to rust the metal. Without protection, my nipper breaks down in a week. I used to live near the sea several years ago and from what i saw, metal rust much slower due to low humidity.
>>23896427I live like 5 minutes from lake erie and I've never had my nppers rust on me, let alone rot away in a week
>>23896428Humidity is more of a weather thingy. If the humidity in your place is very low then the lake or river near by won't affect much.
>>23896430It's consistently 100% humidity and hovers around 90 degrees in the summer. I do not have nippers rotting away in a week.
>>23896434Your house is probably ventilated enough to keep the moisture away. Alot of people live in very small but populated area and the moisture keeps piling up to the point it kills metal in an accelerated rate like that rusty nipper above.
>>23896440It's not my fault they're too dumb to put a bit of grease on their nippers
>not using silica gel to keep your tools from rusting.
>>23896445>not eating silica gel the moment you get your hands on some
>>23896449why are you still in the simulation?
>>23896454That got patched
>>23896454>>23896456Yeah they actually removed that feature back in 2014
>>23896458first they took the fun silica gel, then they took the choco tacos ;_;

>>23896476>I think.evidently notAYYYYY LMAO GOT 'EM BWAHAWA
>>23896256I find this design pretty neat as apparently the barbatos was planned to be upgraded into a slim katana wielder instead of a heavy mace wielder brute
>>23896474I need full Zgok and Gogg designs
>>23896491it's a pretty fucking stupid "upgrade" retcon actually since the Lupus and Lupus Rex does not use any of the swords the Barbatos had at all
https://newtype.us/p/inxdZBGz5iAnwtqnuchv/h/black-horse-model-1-100-reverse-butterflyAnyone know if some chang is selling these butterfly wings separately…
so is the alyzeus worth getting? i paint when im in the mood, but dont have the other hathaway kits.
>>23896474Disappointing imo. The fanmade build looks better.
>>23896474Goddammit the Zock Nu Gundam we talked about several threads ago was supposed to be a joke!
>>23896571
>>23896565Honestly it is not. So many hollowed out parts for a 150 dollars kit.
>>23896474Eh, the legs kill it. Should've taken more cues from JTJ imho
>>23896565for the price of that thing id rather get the gustav karl and one of the messers and use the rest on something else.

GUNDAM GAME ANNOUNCED
Get ready for more greeb shit
>>23896645I guess the new anime leak about fighting aliens was about a game all along
>>23896645I will consume all of the greeble for you.
>>23896649I can see the resemblance. " Gundam Zero " is probably an early sketch of Rogue Orbit Gundam
>>23896645It looks like it has a Feddy pilot helmet on
>>23896645it is very greeblie and chinese of soul but it's doing something for me I won't lie
>>23896645Can't say I'm the biggest fan of this design, at least in the mono gray
>>23896645I don't hate greeb in and of itself, but do hate that this is probably only going to get a single high grade that's P-bandai and all the greebles are mushy and awful
>>23896710It'll probably look better as an HG with reduced details and with a custom color scheme
>>23896710I'm gonna be honest. The original designs could be the worst in the franchise, and I would STILL buy and love a Gundam game with the scope and quality of something like AC6. Promising.
>>23896710gundam forma de michael bay
>>23896720the thing is, it wont have reduced details it'll just have the same details but bigger and out of scale and weird looking. look at the Requiem for Vengeance HGs
>>23896718I dunno, if netflixshit can get (numerous) retail release, I think at least the Helix can be retail. A globally released game is less niche than random gundam manga #923
>>23896645looks cool honestly, the v-fin eyes are neatdgaf about vidya but I'll grab the HG
>>23896720>It'll probably look better as an HG with reduced detailsIn your dream
>>23896745I honestly forgot the RfV HGs were retail lol. it's a shame that the chance of an MG or hell, even a Full Mechanics, is slim to none considering bandai is allergic to 1/100 lately. we might get an MGSD if we're real lucky. I really think a design as detailed as that needs a large kit do be done justice
>>23896613I just have the decals left on my 2.0 one.
>>23896710This is so fucking ugly. Surface detail is one thing but why is every inch of it split up into shapes that don't fit with each other?
>>23896645the camera vfin is so cringe. this is gonna be a hg with 20 stickers. lame.also generic humanity vs aliens plot is lame. let me shoot handsome space nazis who never betrayed anyone
>>23896645It looks like Gundam wearing a helmet
>>23896894Is it going to do a Cast Off or is it covered in panels like the Calibarn and other WfM mechs?
>>23896645What in the goddamn fuck is this? Transformers?!
>>23896903Looks like the panels all open up to reveal thrusters, so probably the latter.
>>23896939temu mobilesuit
This Gundam game looks kino af. I hate the Gundam franchise so it's a good thing for me that this is nothing like it.
>>23896710I would like to see this at a better angle. There are a bit too many details but the overall silhouette if de-greebled should look good.
Why cant they just adapt 0079-Zeta-CCA into a modern mecha game? They could ask Fromsoft to do it and they could use the AC6 engine or something.
>>23897015Because they are (rightfully) afraid of being shown up by gundam vs zeta.
>>23896939>>23896645>>23896710What's the matter gpg. Too much mass for your anorexic taste?
>>23897021Being fat is nice, but it has too much detail on it.
>>23896939Damn and here I thought the EX was ugly.
my country is speedrunning its economic demise, so I just bought ALL my wishlisted premium gunpla, tools and paint, over $2000 (huge in my 3rd world shithole) to keep me sane and delay my inevitable suicide. as long as I have my hobby, I will survive... I hope I can actually complete all the stuff before I lose my sanity. it's better to spend money and indulge hedonism with my hobby than watch my wealth rapidly losing value (already -50% in 2026 alone).
>>23897079Post list of kits
>>23897087I'll take a photo once all the orders have arrived.
>mfw /gpg/ isn't embracing the greebleslop.
>>23897093How is it that bandai is always 10 years late?
>>23897096>He didn't watch G-Saviour.
>>23897102You don't think this is tame in comparison?
>>23897106Too much panel line for its time.
>>23897079Trump is not THAT bad surely
>>23897111yeah but prabowo's regime is unironically 100 times worse
>>23897079We told you about building a box castle last year, but you didn't listen.
>>23897109Actually, it doesn't seem to have many panels in the movie.
>>23896645>the new Gundam from the leaks is another Alien vs. Gundami never thought it would be a game instead of a new anime. i wonder if we'll see alienpla with this too.
>>23897079Ouch. Good luck bro. Thankfully I have enough paints and kits to last me a decade.
>>23897116in the 90s that's way too much to render.
Hey I’m looking for tweezers for stick and decal application.To replace the tweezer in the Bandai spirits entry set.Any recommendations?I’m a bit iffy on tamiya’s tools as they are a bit overpriced.
>>23897135caring about price is stupid
>>23897135>stickI meant sticker sorry.I’m a bit of a gunpla beginner. And as far as I know getting replacement stickers and decals will be hard. From gunpla themselves to other stuff like the Bandai spirits licensed stuff.
>>23897138What tweezer do you recommend then?
>>23897144
>>23897144I personally like the thicker tweezers.
>>23897147>>23897150Thanks!I guess I’ll bite the bullet on the tamiya tweezers.
>>23897114*Marcos'sYou don't suffer, indobro.
>>23897147How many pieces of gunpla should I eat each day oh wise one?
I've been telling you people. You either embrace the greeble that attracts both a broader audience AND the younger one, or you will get NOTHING. Greeble appeals to, and I hate to say these words, the modern audience.
>>23897168
>>23897193The robot is lying to us.
>>23897079canucks are not having a good time it seems
>>23897199Agreed, next it will tell us that blood offerings to plamor are a bad idea.

Gundam: Rogue Orbit
Changlongbros...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbeI7sq_Ecg
>>23896939 This is probably the first time I wish that a suit has the usual Gundam clown colors. It looks so bland with monotone grey colors.
>>23897277I think the Strike is the best option if you want to purchase a chink Metal Build style kit due to its simplicitysomething as busy and heavy as the Providence or the HI Nu are prone to be utter shit due to their massive weight
TIL Gloss is easier to do any time of the year. Fuck matte and rainy seasons
>>23896710I really like the legs exploding into verniers, but a lot of this is just really fucking ugly
>>23897319i actually find matte easier. gloss makes your paint fuckups more obvious
GBN Base Gundam bootleg next month
>>23897354Compared to Bandai
Also GTO Guntank bootleg soon
>>23897361Mass-production Guntank when
BEHOLD, MY AIRBRUSHING SKILL
HG sandrock uses a common frame for all Project Meteor suits.
>>23897464So, pretty good odds we're going to see these combined with the Shenlong labelled runners from Jiyan Altron to get HG Nataku in the near future.
I don't know which one to use if I want shiny metallic finish: Metal Red/Blue or Clear Red/Blue. Both are Mr Color GX Series.
>>23896645
>>23897459Ok now what does it smell like
>>23897459Don't clamp her cock like that, shits gotta hurt
WHY IS IT ALL GREEBLE!?
>>23897481Because we live in the badend timeline.
>>23896939Wonder whether this one will be P-Bandai like Silver Phantom was. Though, this one seems to be a major release, so maybe it'll actually be retail.
>>23897481I'm just thankful Takara Tomy hasn't learned how to greeble up their Zoids
>>23897497I give it a high chance of being regular release but with p bandai add on kits or mid season upgrades.>>23897499Zoids are already pretty greebily thanks to how the armor is designed. Just a better looking kind of greeble.
>make a series called "THE GOD OF COMBINED">proceed to make the Moderoid untransformableWhat did GSC mean by this?
>>23897502They understand that most people will do a transformation once or twice, put it back in robot mode, and never do it again. And that they can sell a deluxe version that does transform later.
>>23897502Maybe it doesn't transform, but that groin really looks like it wants to split in half
>building my gunpla, 75% in>discover that one of the parts was broken from the startwell
Just needs to water decal (2 pieces) and top coat. I think I'll just matt coat this since the gold is already kinda muted anyway.
Do balancers and polishing cloths help with the painting process?I was listening to JL gunpla and he mentioned autistic sanding is very important and I wonder if these two tools will help with my final product.
>>23897502>can't transformBANDAI WON
>>23897502designing a transformation mechanism takes too much brain power and Bandai only has the capacity for it so far
Bandai WONSuper Sentai WON
>>23897521I mean, no? As long as you properly clean off any residual chemicals from the molding process (but more often just the oils from touching the pieces with your bare fingers) and prime before you paint, it should have zero effect. The only thing you really need to worry about is loss of detail from the painting process (putting primer and paint into the greeble lines mutes them a bit), which is what re-scribing is for.That shit just sounds like a terrible waste of time and money. You don't need to sand the surfaces prior to painting because that's literally what primer is for. The only big reason for sanding is to get rid of nubs that would stand out underneath your paint job, small scratches and the like get covered up by the primer (though with bigger scratches you might need to fill it in with putty or a coarser primer).
>>23897521Slightly roughing shit up can help paint stick but it's really not needed in most cases.
I have a question regarding inner frame and armor pieces. Do we ever see what a Gundam looks like unpainted? What is the color of bare gundarium? My next build I'm doing a MG and want to put a bit more detail instead of painting the inside just gunship grey and steel
>>23897546just look at gundam seed's phase shift down
>>23897521The balancer can act as very high grit sanding sponges if you need to polish a painted part, otherwise no
Sometimes I airbrush paint acrylic primer and then paint with acrylics.How is tamiya’s mark fit (regular not strong) for decal application after an acrylic glosscoat (Ak 3rd gen gloss) is applied?A local store sells mark fit so that’s why I mention that product specifically.
>>23897521Balancers and finisher are for if you do not paint and want to bring the plastic back to it's original shine or of you want to put a certain finish you your paint (after putting it on). To sand before painting just use sanding sponges.
This week's haul
AOZ Gelgoog is here. I give a quick review after chewing through the assembly.
>>23897502They can't all have 60 years of experience and JUSTICE, BRAVERY, AND FIGHTING SPIRIT
I guess nu-Takara made up their mind that Blade Liger is the face of Zoids instead of Liger Zero.
Ok, first impression on Chang's Gelgoog III. Smooth assembly, parts fit right in, no hollow parts whatsoever. The pauldrons have bad seamline placement and the snout seems to be abit low quality so you will need to work on these if you have decided to buy this thing. The kit seems to have same complexity as a modern RG. So far, it is an ok kit.
>>23897646Forgot pic. They obviously want you to use Regelgu pauldrons.
Something to bring up, what is the better pick since it's my birthday in a few days, Dynames or 00 XN Raiser?Here's the big catch, if I get the Dynames, I have room for a non-Gunpla kit. What should I get, Figure-rise Machu, Figure-rise Kamen Rider #1, 30MP Rei, or 30MS Tiasha?
>>23897683Get yourself a Zoid
>>23897684I TRIED TO GET ONE, BUT I GOT SCREWED OVER BY LIES ABOUT PRE-ORDER WINDOWS! AND NOBODY IN MY FAMILY KNOWS HOW TO USE A PROXY SERVICE!
>>23897683Happy birthday faggot buy a Kamen Rider

>>23897766Sunflowers can get fucking huge bro
>>23897766I'd wager it's around victory/g gundam/wing size.
>>23897766>giant sunflowers.So, regular sunflowers
>>23897766My boyfriend's family in Singapore has a mini sunflower field and they get to like 20ft tall no joke. Also P-Bandai SG randomly started putting up non-Bandai stuff which is pretty cool. Was able to pre-order the new VAKIT Geara Dogas through them.
Any of you have experience with Aqueous colors? I nabbed some because they have specific colors that I wanted straight from the bottles, but I just realized they're different from the standard Mr. Color or something? Can I still thin these with the Leveling Thinner? And how about mixing or coating them with another lacquer based paints?
>>23897764Do you need a review of the toilet paper and a step by step on how to whipe your ass in the morning also?
>>23897766looking at this screenshot, it appears that it is Loto sized
>>23897822>Can I still thin these with the Leveling Thinner? Yeah. Mr Leveling Thinner is the secret sauce. You can thin anything with it.>And how about mixing or coating them with another lacquer based paints?Coating? Yes, but if it's regular Mr. Color you're coating it with, use multiple thin layers and build them up, or you'll melt the aqueous. Mixing? No. That won't fly. Don't do that.
>>23897502I still find the price pretty suspicious.5500Yen for that is pretty damn cheap as far as Moderoid kits go and I wonder what the catch/parts-separation is going to be.If it's going to be about the same as, say, El Dora then one can assume that the licensing costs must make up quite a bit of the price when it comes to their kits.
>>23897826If the toilet paper has some questionable quality control then yes, i need it. It is a thing that has direct contact with your anus after all, serious business.
>>23897830Whoa didn't know this handy guide exists, thank you so much for this. I will try a 1:2 ratio for the topcoat (yes, I'm also using the GX Super Smooth Clear) on a spoon first>Mr Leveling Thinner is the secret sauce. You can thin anything with it.I can vouch for this, it's the only thinner I always keep in stock lol
>>23897829That cockpit size seems to be at the typical AU size.
>>23897837When times were tough I bought 2 bottles of that Barbatos Rex endorsed leveling thinner. Haven't tried it yet because by the time it got here, ol' faithful was back in stock for a decent price.
>>23897859He shilled so much obscure Chinese brands, makes me wonder where did he got them lol. The dspiae stuffs are pretty decent tho, I have some of their metallic colors and they are pretty aight, good shine and more varied metallic options compared to Mr. Color
>>23897871>He shilled so much obscure Chinese brandsFor real. He comes across as one of those passport boomers who do a lot of shady regulation skirting business in asia.
is it bad if i can still smell (VERY faintly) the smell of thinners even with a mask on? should i upgrade the fans on my booth or the mask?
>>23897906No, getting high as you paint is a very important part of the process.
What are some fun and good looking 1/144 kits? There's a sale going one and I wanna grab a couple of them.
>>23897835Fair enough.
>>23897906Yes anon, you shouldn't be able to smell anything with your respirator onEither it isnt seated properly, the filters are dying out, or you just got the wrong ones
>>23897944Atlas
Got that good shit in the mail today. I've been working slow lately because I was critically low on primers. Glad this stuff was finally available again.>>23897830You can actually mix aqueous with regular mr.color as long as you don't use aqueous thinner. I do it all the time. It'll dry a lot more like the aqueous though; You lose most of the benefits of the regular mr.color.>>23897822It's good stuff. It prefers to be thinned a bit less than normal mr.color if you want to apply it wet and the coverage isn't as good. Still very good paint. Aqueous surfacer is also really nice to have around if you work with ABS of questionable quality.
>>23897859MCW thinner is actually good
The waist peg and leg's hinge joint needs sanding, otherwise it is a decent kit.
>>23897986I'm tempted to get one of these and then removing all the mechanical herpes. It's not so overdone that it can't be saved.
>>23897986I wish it resembled the art more. I did a quick search for it and I like this redditor's Gelgoog 3, wish bandai would put out an official one especially in 1/100
>>23897987Most of the surface details can be sanded away. It is the more restrained design compares to Yiya G's previous kit.
>>23898011Yeah, exactly. A bit of sanding and putty would do a lot to save this thing from looking like that.
And btw, Chang Gelgoog 3's scale is 1/144.
>>23898028That's not a good thing with that level of greeble and nonsense.
>>23898029Changpla doesn't care about safety and Messer is just huge. Here is how it looks compares to Reben Wolf. Reben is close, but Gelgoog's fish fin and giant legs are straight up cheating.
>>23898038I don't care about safety. I care about it looking like shit because they greebled up a 1/144 model.
>>23898041>they greebled up a 1/144 model.That's alot more common than you think.
>>23898065>That's alot more common than you think.Indeed. One was just announced less than 24 hours ago.
>>23898065I don't like most of those either but I don't have retards shoving those in my face every day
Painting acrylic silver after a lacquer matte topcoat. Yes, no, maybe so?
>>23898079Should be fine. It won't be particularly shiny though. You'd probably need to do a gloss clearcoat over that to make it shiny again.
>>23898086Not too important for me. The armor is a high gloss already, I just wanted to break up my frame a bit. Thanks Anon
>>23898075The age of simplistic robot is almost over. There is gonna be more of Azyleus, Helix and Gqux.
>>23898096If that's the case, I can personally confirm that matte topcoat works as an excellent base coat for acrylics. I used to do that all the time when I still primarily brush painted.
>>23898100I have a feeling like helix isn't gonna be a single unit like that. It's a video game so it's probably gonna have a ton of customization so you can make helix look like whatever you want.There's still designs coming out that aren't greebled to death. Gundam eight isn't too bad.
Are the Armored Core kits any good? Nightfall and Liger Tail seem cool.
>>23898122the bandai ones are not good at all but the koto ones are
>>23897919damn, as if the microplastics from sanding and occasional whiff of the mr cement is not enough>>23897957i bought this as a set, respirator, filters and all. this is the correct ones, right?but there's something wrong, when i set the filter, i think i twisted it forcefully and i can see the plastic piece connecting the filter to the respirator bends a little, this might be the problem?
>>23898122You mean the 30M label from Bandai? They are very good, high level of details, good engineering, looks very cool.
Why does every kit I buy from Buyee stink of cigarettes? Does everybody in japan smoke?
>>23898127If you have the 6001 cartridges those are supposed to be for painting. >twisted it forcefully, bends a littleIt sounds like you gorilla'd it.
>>23898122Yes and no. They are rock solid and easy to build, but it is difficult to make them look good afterwards. The details got compromised due to the small size, they are not as sharp as they should be.
>>23898134>Does everybody in japan smoke?Dude even the vacation rentals when I was there reeks of cigarettes smell lmao
>>23898134the rates are going down like everywhere but I'm pretty sure Japan is in the top spot running for percentage of populace still smoking
>>23898139lol my bad this is the first time i tried painting, have my hg exia ready as a test piece, i'll post the results here (probably, if it's not bad). also ordered another mask set, let's see
>>23898150Be more careful, and you can test the seal of your mask by going into your bathroom and spraying some air freshener.
>>23894949Started painting HG Destiny.I initially thought about sanding the shoulders down flat but I'm glad I was lazy because the split in the middle makes the modulation look much better.
https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2041621/https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2041621/That was fast as far as bandai standards are, seems like they are really pushing there new IP
>>23898200>https://hobby.dengeki.com/news/2041621/Huh where is it? The link isn't showing it. Tbh I am interest on how it will be built.
>>23898205Looks like a bunch of C clips to bring the price down
>>23898200>2041621Yup, ain't falling for that one.
>>23898134>Does everybody in japan smoke?Smoking is still quite prevalent in Japan.
>>23898212Yeah fuck you, I fell for it.
>>23898200I know what this is and I'm clicking the link anyway
>make something simple and something every customer has>sells out everywhereits just that simple, they should just stop making such complicated machines
>>23898239>every customer has
>>23898126>>23898128>>23898140I'm getting mixed signs here.
It begins! Next in line on my quest to have all UC MC suits
>>23898248it's pretty obvious when you compare them side by side that the Bandai version is objectively worse
>>23898256Now zoom out.
>>23898266I mean, yeah, this would make me want the 30MM version even less.
>>23898253The Mk-II Gundam is a favourite, you'll be impressed with it. I didn't even like it that much until I had it in hand, and thought hard about how it was mostly Emma's suit and how she was the most reliable character in the show. You might have to sand the head or collar down slightly for unobstructed head rotation, but the Zeta has more of an issue with that, so that was another plus.There's just something about this standard, boring, military-grade factory-produced, completely un-unique looking Gundam that just looks so reliable. And the radio headset-looking vulcan pods give it an extra look of authority and reliability.
>>23898266Damn, so the Kotobukiya one has better details AND color separation? There really is no point in getting the Bandai one unless you're short on space and cash.
damn I can't believe a 20 dollar model isn't as nice as a 120 dollar model
>>23898269>>23898253The Gundam Mk II has basically no bad kits. wish they'd reprint the other grades more, though
>>23898299Glad to hear it! I'm bready for my first MG to be my lovely Mk-II.>love the HG, AEUG ver>going to get the MG in likewise fashion>want the Super Gundam too>don't mind having dupes of the AEUG one since they're both pretty handy, can pretend that one's an improved one from Anaheim after they reassembled the one they used for research>apparently the RG Mk-IIs hold up fine>weird to get a RG Titans version that fucking mogs the AEUG HGs>weird to get an RG for the AEUG, as well as getting a dupe HG for the TitansThe Titans one has a cool color scheme but I just cannot abandon my trusty and friendly Mk-II...
>>23898200damn the Helix has a nicer ass than I expected
Does anyone have experience using "Lumiere by Jacquard" acrylic paints with gunpla? Found a really pretty color at HL today but the bottle doesn't really make mention of plastic projects. Can't imagine it'd be unusable though?
Cool inner frame
>>23898324
>>23898324midge
>>23898281Damn i can't believe Bandai was forced to make 20 dollar models at gunpoint
>>23898338Pic related. The yakuza actively threatening small family company to make the 20 dollar model.
>different stores vary on what 0083 kits they have or don't>but GP02 is always always sold outI thought people in Toronto had shit taste, let me out
>>23898341When was the last time it even had a reprint?
>>23898269>>23898299Understandably similar to the rx-78-2 I've made so far, but a really cool kit. I love the lavender frame they have, gives him a different vibe, the darker blue too.The eye piece was transparent and included reflective mirror stickers to place behind it, so I figured hey, some sort of glowing eye gimmick? I just painted black on the transparent eye piece apart from the eyes themselves... Not exactly satisfied with the glowing effect as you can see here.I'll probably go back and paint the eyes the old fashioned way like my other kits, but I'll continue on for now.
>>23898341>People prefer the villainous Gundam over the forgettable Katoki slop with an insufferable manchild pilotI don't know who is the one with shit taste here...
Is there a MG Sinanju Stein kit without sleeves shit?
>>23898438Yeah the Ver Ka has optional parts to replace the Sleeves with regular flat parts
>>23898438Yes, the very second one.
I want a Master Grade Windam. It's my favorite SEED MS.
>>23898455And I wish to eradicate every single SEEDfag from this planet.
>>23898462I don't like the story or characters, just the MSs.
>>23898466Based... so fweakin based
>>23898396The 02 stands for 1902, its original release year>>23898435No, I mean that I wish they had shit taste so that the GP02 would still be in stock
>>23898400>Understandably similar to the rx-78-2 I've made so farBut anon you get TWO chest cameras>reflective eye stuffHonestly I didn't fully get what was going on, I just always do what the instructions tell me to do, picking the fanciest or most complicated one if I have options. I don't remember what I was supposed to do for mine but it looks nice?
>>23898455This is very not seed like, aside from the stupid backpack. Did this end up in the wrong show?
>>23898462This but with WfMfags.
>>23898462>>23898466Seed has best girls, Lacus and Meer though.
Remember red cliff strike? I used a garbo chink bootleg and redid it.
>>23898524Soulless it looks nice though
>Hiltz Death Stinger has an announced re-release all the more reason not to hunt for the old chink upscale
>>23898524Is that you, Axel?
>>23898513Only Freedom Lacus is hot. Her tv show counterpart is super lame.
I only think of Kiara Sessyoin now every time I see Lacus
>>23898495It's pretty similar to the daggers, just with bigger shoulders and v fin.
>>23898565Lacus is more of a slut than miss take the earth and jamitov her bajeena.
>>23898577Perhaps if the shoulders were a bit more rounded and it had a normal backpack it would look like it's out of UC? It could just be that image in particular that is playing tricks on me.
