Only retards buy Metal Build
>>23908977all the G Gundam kits>>23909016you aren't spraying lacquers at combustible air:fuel ratios unless you have zero ventilation in a very small space. you could keep a pilot light in the exhaust duct and nothing would happen. if you're still a paranoid retard, a brushless fan won't spark.
>Unicorn mode but with psychoframe opened and a huge decal on a shoulderWtf, this is actually cool.
>>23909084>PBandai spoiling the next MG.
>>23909084There is supposed to be more decals added soon as well
>>23909053I’d rather have an HGUC Tristan than a Metal Build.
need a new shelf soon
>>23909087>Can I have something new please?>Best I can do is something old and recoloredI may start buying changbots.
>>23909114or just buy Bandai Candy models from now on?
>>23909084>here is your new gundam base exclusive
My compressor (fengda LS18-2S) has suddenly stopped working. The on/off switch still lights up, but no air is pumped and there is no noise. It was a few minutes into a painting session when it stopped pumping air. I was spraying at around 20 psi. There was no sudden noise, no smell and the whole compressor was still cool so I doubt anything melted down. Any ideas for troubleshooting this at home or do I need to get a replacement/find a shop to fix it?
Built the AK Hizack Custom bootleg. It's pretty good. The few bootlegs from other brands that I built are noticeably less sharp than Bandai's when you look closely at the details. The AK stuff seems just about 1:1 with Bandai though. I'll dust off their version of the AoZ Hizack later for comparison.I bought a third party gun because it looks like something you'd see on a Fujioka artwork, but that plastic looks like hot ass even after topcoat. Will have to repaint the whole thing when the weather allows.
>>23909087Nah most likely going to be RG
>>23909108Isn't that coming later this year?
>>23909053thisgigabrainchad buys chink Metal Build
On groupbuild day I will kidnap all the girlpla entries and force them to compete in my sick ecchi dungeon games
>>23909124piston probably ran out of lubrication and siezed
>>23909028Finished my HG Nemo after priming, painting, sanding and topcoating. I based the colour scheme and distribution on the Marauder armor from Ratchet Deadlocked/Gladiator.
Why are FSS model kits so expensive?
>>23909169nagano is greedy
>>23909169Nagano does not appease the plebeians.
>>23909169Because they are not popular so they don't get the scale efficiency that other model companies get. That's why Bandai gives you more plastic per yen than other Japanese companies. It's also why China can undercut so much. They have tons of companies cranking out plastic injection molds daily for all the plastic crap China is producing. You can go from mold design to physical mold both quickly and relatively cheaply.
>>23909109I feel that, I did some reorganizing and actually made room. unfortunately I don't think the free space will last long ;_;
>>23909109wait! is that a fucking lancelot! where did you get that!!!!??? I need one!
>>23909146so you'll compare the AK Hizack with AK Hizack...?
>>23909109New shelf, you say?
>>23909205this looks fucking god awful
>>23909205me in bottom right
>>23909203With Bandai's one. Can't be bothered to fish it from the shelf right now. Here it is from a few months ago.
>>23909146Aliexpress?
>>23909222ah fair enough then, nearly had a disassociative episode from thinking there was a regular Hizack aoz kit I didn't know about
>>23909146AK's Hizack actually feels better than the Bandai ones because the polycaps they use are tighter.
>>23909169Kino tax
>>23908957I like the basic ReZEL but the variants all basically suck, just too much shit on the back.
>>23909226The rate things are going AK is probably going to make the regular AoZ Hizack before Bandai. Personally? I'm hoping for a Hizack Cannon.
>>23909197it was a random ebay find. bootleg and out of scale, but still pretty cool that i got it yeah.
>>23909109The Stein still looks like ass, no matter how hard you sperged about it. But I have to say, your painting technique is absolutely spot on with the Ma.K sruff, really cool my dude! You should do some outside shots if you have nature or heavy industry nearby.
>>23909210Other shelves are better, it's just that one which is supposed to hold all unpainted 30MM kits. I made some rearranging lately on all of them but I'm still close to running out of space, both here and on another drawer.
Oh satisfaction gorilla this is hot. https://hjweb.jp/article/2706137/
>>23909294Marchosias is suffering...
>>23909028It's been a minute, but things are starting to come together at lastI realized I was not putting enough coats on... basically everything. Now the colors are popping a lot nicer
>>23909297That thing is a genuinely great kit EXCEPT that for some reason they forgot/excluded the roll bars on the tracks which I ended up cobbling together out of the runners and the leftover bushings.
>>23909307March was unable to stand on his own, always and I mean ALWAYS leaning back so I left him in this state. Another design that looks cool on paper but is absurd as actual model.
>>23909297I look like this IRL
>>23909205Please buy/make a platform to raise the kits at the back. It will make the display way less messy at no cost of space.
>>23909327Get him a chink metal frame. They're infinitely better than the base HG IBO frame
Bandai doesn't make any 1/100 00 kits anymore so fuck it, third party time.
>>23909351Hideous
>>23909353...is what your mom called you
>>23909357ZING!
>>23909351But they will, just gotta wait a few more decades.
>>23909351I thought that harute was way out of scale?
>>23909027>ignoring fully painted builds to use a longsnap for the WIP anchor post insteadI swear new thread guy does this shit on purpose
>>23909351So, your solution to the lack of 1/100 00 kits is to buy a 1/87 kit?
>>23909380it says 1/100 on the box, retard
>>23909311It is an arranged design like the Goshogun but less obviously so. It also doesn't have the moving panels that close over the gray chest parts for flight and tank mode.
>>23909357I'm not a fake chinese version of something that looks good
>>23909388Yes, and do you really think that's true?
>>23909393Also white upper arms and a yellow dot on the chest that AFAIK is only yellow in like one illustration that isn't the boxart for the kit and interestingly they also included two gray spare ones.
>>23909388I compared it to the 1/144 HG and it is actually 1/87 not 1/100
>>23909396Replacing every cell in your body takes about 7 to 10 years, I'm not sure if you are fake or not ugly but Your are made of Chinese microplastics by now so anon is not completely wrong.
>>23909398It also lacks the pop out toe treads but even the Aoshima kit skipped those. The HJ article also mentions he's hoping they do the mass-production type Srungles too.
>>23909401Anon is wrong by merit he buys butt ugly chinkshit and thinks it's cool enough to post about it
>>23909400your mistake is comparing it to the Gundam Harute, which actually has no relation to the Star Abyss at all. the Star Abyss is a completely original design so the 1/100 scale is accurate
>>23909417lmao
>>23909406>mixing up anons KWAB
>>23909429They all look the same
>>23909430I'm based and epic albeit
>>23909438Okay this is based and epic. Carry on.
>>23909400i have a pair of jeans that makes me look like this
spoder
>>23909476>Replicator v0.0.2
>another rg zeongi sleepwhen will chinks upscale hi nu?fucking free money
>>23909486Why are they always afraid to make it purple?
>>23909476Scratchbuild group build next?
>>23909496four entries, groupbuild cancelled
>>23909502there's been lower turnouts before
>>23909503Been here for a while but I guess not long enough to have seen that low of a turnout.
>>23909495Because the blue looks way better, although the gradient from the original art should be brought back.
>>23909510I don't care about the blue. I'm mad they make the skirt and head gray.
Which one of these do you guys recommend as my first MG? Is there any I should avoid?>MG Zaku 2.0>MG Freedom 2.0>MG Hyaku Shiki 2.0
>>23909526The zaku 2 has heat pipes which are weird to clean up and the freedom has a fragile waist. The hyaku shiki is near flawless. All of those are great though.
>>23909502maybe cause the theme is fucking girlpla. a miniscule fraction of people here build such.
>>23909526avoid seedshit
>>23909526Get Seed Kino.
>>23909529I plan to leave it in a glass cabinet, so I gues the cleanup wouldn't matter. How bad is freedom's waist?Oh, I also thought about getting MG Dynames, but it looks bad in some pictures.>>23909532>>23909538Freedom and Z'gok are the only sneed designs I like.
some chinese company is releasing ocs designed by las (the designer who made the allmind design that you are thinking of)
>>23909544I meant that the nubs are a pain in the ass to deal with.
>>23909547He designed Veloce for Hexagear
>>23909544Not actually the waist but the two pegs at the pelvis.
>>23909160I am going to keep replying with this every time you post that image, and one day it will finally be funny.
>>23909084Reminder that if you care about scale your chipping and pigeons should be no larger than this on your customs.
>>23909544It's not too bad. Just don't be too forceful when you articulate the abs.
>>23909531Anon, I think at least 50% of actual builders here also build girlpla. Yes, they are subhuman, but they are numerous.
>>23909028Finished the saber tiger (schwarz special). It's probably the worst of the RMZ zoids I've built. There's a lot of design differences that just look meaningfully worse than the HMM version. I understand that they wanted to simplify the frame but they could have at least molded the stuff in and let me paint it up to look right. I think the springs are cool though.Overall, still excellent.>>23909567Rude
>>23909567>Anon, I think at least 50% of actual builders here also build girlpla. Yes, they are subhuman, but they are numerous.replace girlpla with bootleg, then you're right.
>>23909564mecha bullets are larger than pigeon poops thoughbeit
>>23909569At least it isn't a floppy dogshit model. Not everything has to be covered in greeble.
>>23909590The level of greeble is more or less the same. The HMM has a lot more mechanical detail on the legs and neck in particular. The color separation on the guns are also a lot better. Without some masking the RMZ version has guns that are entirely molded silver. I added the gold myself. I still might go back and mask off parts of the gun to paint them black.
do I have to let lacquers cure fully before spraying enamels on top or is touch dry okay
>>23909050He kinda always is. He has painted a few Gunpla a long time ago, and even painted some of the SMP when he thinks stickers do not suffice on some spots. Because he's dealing with ancient 1989 SDs, he's meant to paint all of them.On a different topic, do you feel insulted when reissues of retail kits end up P-Bandai exclusive? The LBX Hyper Function Achilles and Emperor are getting reissues, but they're now locked to P-Bandai compared to five years ago. Soon after, they might release every single LBX remakes from that year as P-Bandai, including the non-HF Achilles and Hunter. Is it because the entire brand is niche in people's eyes now?
As someone who isn't into sd kits at all, the MGSD Wing Zero blew me away. Already ordered the Barbatos, hope it's just as good
>>23909547>allmind design that you are thinking of
Is it too much to ask for gold plated parts on SMP? They always use the piss yellow gold.
>>23909623They make magic liquid that can turn things gold colored.
>>23909623become paintgod
>>23909624I don't think peeing on your model is a good idea
I don't get the appeal of the tourist snapfag trifecta (Strike Freedom, Unicorn, and God Gundam)
>>23909659>strike freedomCool badass wings>UnicornCool transformation>god gundamI don't get this one either
>>23909653That's not going to stop me.
>>23909659Seed and Unicorn are probably the most popular recent shows. Definitely have more normie appeal than old UC series like 0079 or even Zeta at this point.>God GundamNo idea. G is a really easy show to watch, I guess? Probably the least complex full series.I would add Wing to the tourist list though.
>>23909659The world is full of mysteries, anon. I don't get why none of the redditors at least panel line or topcoat their kits, much less why they don't pose them and just stick fifty of the most generic suits possible in a single shelf doing the same bland upright stance.
>>23909028Progress with the F91
>>23909163Is the Nemo any goodIt's the same price as like, a GM Sniper II or almost a Qubeley and I'm not sure what justifies the price for what's a rather average grunt unitI don't hate the Nemo but I think the GM III is already pretty trusty
I somehow managed to get an RG Zeong from Michaels for free. I went to the store before the pickup was ready, and the teenage cashier told me to just go get it off the shelf. She scanned it, told me I was good to go, and then a few hours ago, I got an email that I had been refunded because it hadn't been picked up.
>>23909718what's that giant gun?
>>23909804Yippie!!!
>>23909809it is listed as "Qianqu Shang 1/100 Heavy-Duty Blast Electromagnetic Railgun 2.0" in gundamit, where I got itit has LEDs and is basically a copy of the beam launcher expansion set of the metal build hi nu gundam
>>23909718>>23909818a minor nitpick I have with the 2.0 F91 is how small the cockpit hatch opening is compared to the 1.0
>>23909027Hey can I submit a Desktop Army girl? She will be painted, of course
>>23909864That is 100% girlpla
>>23909866not plamo
>>23909870Kotobukiya makes desktop army plamo
>>23909866Great, I’ll submit in about a week or two
>>23909886I'm not groupbuild guy, for the record.
>Not done with my scratch built railgun because I hesitate to settle for panel lines>Build GQX Gelgoog to distract myself>Hate the backpack boosters, think I should scratch build something>Don't because don't know which panel lines would look betterI think I'm experiencing some kind of burn out or something
>>23909818just buy a nerf gun at that point, nice FSS model btw
>>23909897Second-strongest building hands typed this
For this groubpuild, I made an M109 paladin insteadso how goes y'all's groupbuilds?
>>23909973I started something early but I lost my motivation to finish it. I'd have needed to buy like three more girls for my plan to work out and a few skeletons.
>>23909028The Nu is coming along nicely. The off white bits came out way darker than intended, but I think I like how they waare actually working to break up all the white. Need to figure out what I'm going to do about panel lining the shins. The edges there keep letting the panel liner rub off to just hand oil, so might need to scribe them? Might just panel line marker them right before the clear coat? Also the hands are god awful. Popped out 3 of the fingers on one hand getting the closest joint moveable. Might need to figure out if there are good third party hands.
>>23909028dunno what else to add to fit the aesthetic
>>23910003Mommy
>>23910003neon thigh high fishnets
anyone who's gotten that chang version of the MG vidar a go?a bunch of effect parts for the weapons and a stand baked in for a little bit less than the bandai release seems like a good deal if the plastic isnt absolute dogshit
>>23909185china undercuts because their factories and inputs are subsidized by the ccp government
>>23909401>Replacing every cell in your body takes about 7 to 10 yearsthis is reddit pseud pop trivia bullshit. neurons and lens fiber/epithelial cells last up to a lifetime. heart muscle cells can last 30-50 years.
>>23910100He means replacing them manually like with your hands, unless you have skill issues and need to hire a surgeon or cellular biologist
>>23910102I can replace all his cells in minutes>T. The Thing
>>23910098Honestly it's pretty great. Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake. The government treats their people like some natural resource that regenerates, and not like humans. As a result of this they can squeeze a ton of labor cheaply out at the cost of lives and quality of lives. Then add to that that part of their economic warfare requires them to do this to the extreme, plus take some of their profits from stealing advances and use it to subsidize every business exporting. Now we get goods cheaper. Don't ingest their edible products but damn cheap mecha kits are nice.We can't change their minds but we can fuck over people participating in the hyper inflation of all things for the sake of squeezing profit out of others in all other sectors within our country and japan.Buy chinese shit (specifically mostly parts and pieces) and screw all the people trying to buy those same things and sell them for a 10x markup in our market.
>>23910106Damn, it usually takes me about half an hour>t. the second strongest The Thing in /gpg/
>>23910111>We can't change their minds but we can fuck over people participating in the hyper inflation of all things for the sake of squeezing profit out of others in all other sectors within our country and japan.this is where you're outing yourself as retarded. japs chose explicitly not to participate in hyperinflation. price controls and negative interest rates allowed them to keep cost of living and products low, and the average jap salary is only around 35k USD as a result. they keep a 2% inflation target, but with deflationary periods it averages out around closer to 1%.
Are godhands actually worth it?
>>23910135You really don't need them if you plan to paint.
>>23910135You'll never convince me that they're anything more than simple time savers. If you use regular nippers, a hobby knife and a glass file, you can achieve much the same results, and even if some stress marks remain you can simply get rid of them with an agate knife.
>>23910125Yeah you're right I don't know nor do I need to care about Japanese market economics and economy to make my decision. I'm speaking as an American spending American money in and outside of the American market. Your point is irrelevant to what I've said or been concerned with.>>23910140Glass files are to files what godhands are to sharp edged nippers. Both are just expensive time savers that don't save you a lot of time at that. Better to use a decent file and let primer/topcoat smooth out the details after the totally negligible 800grit marks.
>>23910141>expensiveSon, the basic bitch glass file I've been using for the last three years cost me like five bucks on Amazon. You're stupid if you think that's comparable to spending $100+ on some Godhands.
>>23910146It's not comparable in price, it's comparable in useage. I didn't bring up price, nor did you until now..for no clear reason. Glass files are more fine, and cut finer amounts thus a bit slower. They change sheen, something anyone who's not a snapfag doesn't give a shit about doing to the plastic itself. It's not worthwhile to do the entire of your sanding with something closer to 1k-3k when it's like 1-2 passes with a decent file (which is more expensive, if you're keeping track). Time, the much more valuable resource is retained. That and I guess health because if you're using a dry glass file and not wearing a dust mask you're breathing fine plastic powder which will kill you just barely slower than lacquer.
>>23910141>>23910146I get better results from using cheap buffer blocks than glass files.
>>23910149they do the job better too. just gotta remove nub then move on. varnish does the rest
RG Shining simultaneously looks cool and retarded. Then again, I feel this way about RGs in general.
>>23910149The gunpla to cosmetics pipeline strikes again

Building gunpla with the bros at the salon, discussing the latest goss and leaving smelling fragrant and nails all glossy and clean.
>>23910167I guess you're struggling with reading comprehension. Japan is victim to it as well, the global economy fucks everything. Some people are just scammed outright, others are just dragged along in the mess. Are you too young to remember the 2008 housing crisis? US economy, things from here to JP fucked. Move along retard.

>>23910250uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhI withdraw my post
>>23910256Have you painted yours yet?
>>23910256>RedditGAYYY
>>23910256>"third party"we really should just use the term "unlicensed" instead. third party implies some form of contractual licensing or a unique design. it does not imply IP infringement. meanwhile a bootleg would need an existing kit to copy, so that doesn't work either.
>>23910311"Bootleg" can just mean a knockoff product. The direct copy should be called a Recast.
>>23910202yessss
>>23910256>Steals design and profits from it without even letting the original creators know or have a share of the profitsTell me why bootlegs are good again?
>>23910328Because Bandai sucks dick
>>23910174why is your kind so emotional? why do you people chimp out whenever someone calls you out for being stupid?
>>23910202is this a licensed product?
>>23910333yeah so it's literally not a bootleg but retards here will still call it one
>>23910328because without them we'd have nothing since Bandai seems content only releasing endless Ashtrays each year

>>23910364I mean, yeah? Imagine if someone stole your Blood Meridian x Sonichu yaoi fanfic OC and sold it on amazon books without giving you any credit
>>23910363>off scale for no reasonfucking chinks man, come on
>>23910360I was planning to get the little fellas from the other company but I might get this one instead. I like the accessories and details on it more and while I'd prefer it be the correct size, I'm not a huge stickler for scale so it being way too big doesn't bother me that much.
>>23910369Can you call it off scale if they don't claim it's in scale though?
>>23910375it'd be considered 'non-scale' although if you wanna get real specific it still technically has a scale, it's just a really stupid weird number like 1/83
>>23910135They're great. They make building go a lot faster and save you most of that time in sanding.>>23910343You can prevent this by putting a layer of clear down first. It'll seep under the tape and then seal it off.
1/67 SCALE
>>23910360>>23910363>There is a another NoIF THEY KEEP DOING THIS THEN BANDAI WON'T MAKE THOSE KITS THEY ARE NOT MAKING ANY MORE!
>>23910265NoI just got my box today back home from office because when the thing came it last week I was in south Africa I think there will be a green versionYes I know one of the Chinese reviewers said that the manufacturer has no plan to release a different color version but considering repaint is the easiest way to make money I really don't see why they won't do it. Especially when almost all the review are positive for it.
>>23910392Yiya G did the MP Qubeley previously so green Gelgoog 3 is just a matter of time.
>>23910376The weird number is just for clout because Chinks like big kits. Gelgoog III kit is actually 1/144, the Nightingale rifle and Messer shield are literally the same size as their HG counterpart.
>>23910398It's because the people buying them aren't smart enough to imagine scale. They are just not intelligent enough to think that it's a small representation of something big.
>CLENG CLENK CLENK. CLENK CLENK!
>i'll be back
How come chink doesn't make girlpla of Gundam girls? I'm not talking bootleg of FRS
>>23910418Why doesn't Bandai?
>>23910418There's no way to make them all pointy and fucked up looking
>>23910408This shit out already?
>>23910202Sweet, food for my lava golem.
>>23910418Girlpla is harder than gunpla. Remember Bandai's first foray with Super Fumina? Yeah.
>>23910424Sheik Mainland kit doesn't take 12 months to be on sale like Bandai.
>>23910423The boobs sharp!
>>23910418Because most people don't give a fuck about Gundam characters, only Bandai shill them because it is obligatory.
>>23910434I would buy more purus and a haman.
>>23910434There are a ridiculous amount of gundam girls I would buy kits of. FRS Allenby would be so nice. And Elpeo Puru.
wasted so much masking tape because I'm too paranoid, but whatever.
>>23910450If you're going to do this, get a piece of printer paper and cut out a hole that matches what you're painting, like how you paint cars. This is genuinely a waste.
>>23910450You could get a fat roll of painters tape for masking off huge sections of parts.
>>23910453>Guy is actively spraying without a maskI know we meme about it for the hobby amount of paint we spray, but doing that for car painting in genuinely dangerous.
>>23910434More like because all gundam females are bitches and whores. Except Haman, of course.
>>23910459I have no idea what he's actually doing, maybe just posing for a picture, but you're right. I'm just using the image as reference either way - I wanted to show the giant trash bags they use and then tape down.
>>23910453>cut out a hole that matches what you're paintingI can't into cutting stuff precisely
>>23910450Bruh, are you airbrushing the lights and bolts? Just do that with regular ass paint and use a toothpick with lighter fluid on it for clean up. Jfc.Or hell what I do for clean up is I just lick my thumb and wipe off the excess. Works perfectly every time.
>>23910467It doesn't have to be precise. Cut a square hole, circle hole, whatever fits around the piece you're about to paint. Then just apply tape around the smaller section to secure it. Voila, you didn't waste half a roll of tape.
>>23910474I don't want to spend more money on paint
>>23910342proof?
>>23910507best I can I do is show you my testicles
>>23910507>proof
>>23910512>vague screenshot of current reprints/releases.>proof.kek. I want to see a memo that clearly states that Bandai is refusing to make these kits out of principle and as a fuck you to you.
>>23910515Not an argument. It's on you to prove that bandai is willing but unable to. I provided proof that they're capable of doing it.
>>23910517>but refuses. see if you're gonna talk about something like its the truth, you should be able to prove it 100%. Here's you're talking out of your ass and saying it's not an argument.
why do some anons get so offended when they read that other people question why they haven't made a certain kit?
>>23910512and where's the market analysis showing that these niche designs would sell well retail?can you confirm that the direct to consumer model doesn't allow them to produce quantities that more closely match market demand for less in-demand kits that the kiddies buying these toys don't know about?
every damn day there's a retard asking why Bandai hasn't made xyz kit like we're like some Bandai insiders and it's just becoming so tiresome.
>>23910519When third parties announce kits that Bandai could have made but didn't investors get queasy.
>>23910519I think bandai genuinely has employees here. That's why they flip out whenever someone posts changpla. Otherwise, pic related.
>>23910450Just use liquid latex on the tape if you are afraid of paint leaking under the tape.
I need to stop my vidya addiction, I haven't been working on my kits lately and it's bothering me.
>>23910526Have you ever considered that the chinkshit is butt ugly garbage and people are just sick of seeing you shill it?
>youkek
>>23910535I don't post chinkpla.
>>23910537You're just a huge fan of chink shit (that you totally never post) and would never do anything but accuse people who don't like it of being paid shills.
>>23910537post your chinkpla then.
>sperg still hasn't answered why Bandai never touched the TB Acguy
>>23910539Pic related. Haven't even built it yet. Sitting in a bag for years now at this point. 95% of my model kits are banda, which is why I give them all the criticism. I would say that my criticism is me just shouting into the void posting in this thread, but with the rabid responses I tend to get, I think my words aren't actually falling on deaf ears.>>23910543He never will. He doesn't get paid to do that, just to damage control and deflect.
>>23910544Alot of posts like this are just made in bad faith, there's no answer to it why should anyone even answer it? Why even bother seriously answering when you can just troll him back.>>23910544No one flips out over bootlegs, more like we're just fucking annoyed about the constant shilling of every single bootleg kit that is going to be released in the future. Every time a new bootleg kit is announced, some retard posts it here like its the best god damn kit ever. Better yet it is as if there are bots here that actively shill bootlegs.
>>23910543>>23910548oops meant to quote this retarded baitpost.
>>23909804this happens to me whenever I order from the mcdonalds app and I hope they never fix it. I always select 'pick up at counter' and then they refund me a few hours later because I supposedly never picked it up. Been getting free lunch for about a year now and I really hope nobody notices
>>23910314Bootlegs don't actually recast the original product though, often they use a 3D scanner on the pieces and make their own molds based off of that. Even though it's "technically" the same parts with maybe a bit of extra greeble tossed in, the runner layout is usually completely different.>>23910428There are loads of Chinese companies with excellent experience making girlpla though. It's just that they're actually good enough to stand on their own and make products based on their own IPs, rather than piggybacking off of Bandai and making substandard products anyway.
>>23910543>>23910544Everyone is just sick of you retards advertising shitty chinese knockoffs. You are like cockroaches.
>>23910543atlas and ground type s probably didn't sell as much as they hoped, so bandai pulled the plug. bandai gets cold feet with mooks in comparison to anything with gundam in the name.
>>23910431fuck off, Bandai does a good job
SomehowI am getting the feeling I might actually see a proper 1/144 F91/V gundam from China before Bandai's second attempt at it. Look at itLOOK AT IT!How did anyone at the Bandai think this anorexic looking thing was acceptable being a F91 in 3d form?
>everyonethis guy man
>>23910434I would pay good money for a Marida figure. Imagine if they did it Arcanadea style, three different bodies for her Sleeves uniform, Palau casual outfit, and pilot suit.
>>23910557Yeah this looks pretty good actually
>>23910548>there's no answer to itI'm not a meteorologist but I can look up and tell when it's going to storm. bandai sells countless slop. I parsed their pbandai store alone for all new arrivals and 75% of it is not gunpla. They have the capacity, they have the capability, they have the engineers, they have the marketing, they have the money. They just refuse. Simple as. >>23910552I still haven't advertised any chinkpla. I just like using the opportunity to shit on bandai.
>>23910562And I'm sure once the heat dies down you'll go back to posting that garbage. You know that if you do it now everyone will correctly point out that it's a shitty knockoff.
>>23910554great so third parties are filling the gap Bandai left behind 9 years agothere are no reasons to sperg out over third party releases like that guy does every thread
>>23910557>How did anyone at the Bandai think this anorexic looking thing was acceptable being a F91 in 3d form?it's pretty on model for how the F91 was actually animated though. it was pretty slender in the film, and didn't resemble the okawara lineart much at all.lineartfags need to chill
>>23910564>you'll go back to posting that garbageI'm about to start posting it just to piss you off specifically.
>>23910548>you can post about it >but if you add anything else you will personally trigger meduly noted
>>23910568You know they make stuff other than gunpla, right?
>People talking about plamo>In the plamo generalAAAAA SAVE ME BANDAI
>>23910565they're still not "third party" manufacturers unless licensed, or pushing "unique" variations. these are infringing companies.
>>23910571Yes, hence the>has the capacity and has the capabilityparts. With how much other crap they're constantly shitting out, they should also be pumping out these variants of existing kits.
>>23910557looks pretty accurate to meif you want to talk about 1/144 oddness the HG Hazels have extra chonk added to them for some reasonwouldn't be as bad if Bandai didn't constantly reuse the mold
>>23910568this isn't even a good comparison because the chogokin team is a completely different unit that doesn't make Gundam IP. it does not use plamo manufacturing facilities or plamo design staff resources.
>>23910572They're constantly advertising every chink miscarriage attempt at making something. Would you be fine with every place you post being overrun with people shamelessly advertising?>>23910576Hideous knockoff. Crazy that you'd use this as an example since there actually is a tallgeese flugel kit. It also has the perk of not looking like shit like that thing.
>>23910575huhI think the Transformers community use third party for everything that isn't made by Hasbro or Takara
>>23910581>there actually is a tallgeese flugel kitThere is no Perfect Grade Tallgeese. Why can chang shit out these kits but bandai takes 10 years in between PGs?
>>23910582and the transformers/diaclone community are know to be exceptionally retarded. they make the average poster in this thread seem of statistically normal intelligence.
>>23910585Because it's easy to shit something out when you don't have any quality control and use slave labor and government subsidies to produce it. That's exactly what they do. They shit it out. It's shit.
>Would you be fine if the Plamo thread was filled with people talking about upcoming kits?
>>23910562>They just refuse. Simple as.Post proofs.
UH OH, the resident bandai shills are having a melty over chinkpla doing the kits bandai wont
>>23910587naturallymost of them are american
>>23910588>quality controlWho was QCing the MGEX Strike Freedom or the RG Akatsuki?
>>23910587*known(posting from a french hotel while shitting my guts out from the pharaoh's revenge)
>>23910593What would you know about two kits you've never touched?
>>23910592and the other half are southeast asians. the community as a whole is basically a melting pot of gigaretards that lack any form of cognitive planning.
>>23910595I have the MGEX sitting on the stand it came with with the same broken hand. Who QC'd the PGU Nu Gundam?
now that I look at it more closely the proportions are really offthe other Acguy looks betterreal shame about the lack of accessories
>>23910569>but if you add anything else you will personally trigger meWhere in my post did I say that? Are you brain damaged?
he really will spend the rest thread seething about this won't he
>>23910597it's not even broken in that image. it's just a loose ball joint. it'll pop back in, but can still fall out easily. all of the gundam hands like this can develop this problem, regardless of color. the zeon versions are more robust.
>>23910597No you don't. Did they email you a list of bullet points to rattle off whenever you get some opposition?
>>23910597timestamped pics are in order
Whoever recommended Moepla last week, thanks again. Finally getting my Turn X today.
>did your handlers give you pointers?completely sane btw
>>23910604>it's not even brokenHave you actually built the kit? The gold plastic deforms and the ball joint can no longer stay in the socket. Similar issue to the MG Turn A's hands. Never had this issue in all the MGs I've built until these two kits.
>>23910609The site is legit? I thought it looked fake as fuck when I saw that link.
>>23910611Are you too dumb to put a bit of clear acrylic on the ball joint?
>>23910611it's fixable. you can bend the socket until it gets smaller. I did it with my nu. turn a hands are fine if you aren't a monkey.
>>23910613I looked around before ordering and it seems like local retailer in California with a brick and mortar store that does US shipping. It's not unheard of. Hell, I have one of those in my city, they just didn't have a Turn X.
>>23910618There's a lot of stores like that. I've had a few bad experiences with them (not moepla) in the past so I avoid them.
>>23910599Yeah no scale was a really weird choice. Can only hope chang does some option packs for the other acguy or something.
>>23910609You’re welcome anon, may all your plamo be cheap and plentiful (unless you’re buying seedshit)Don’t forget to check gunpla.deals when you’re on the hunt
>>23910621It's because chang is not intelligent enough to understand what a scale is or why people might care
>>23910621the fact they went with 1/87 and 1/100 is possibly telling why bandai didn't bother. tuberculosis was 90% a 1/144 line, and a 1/144 tuberculosis acguy would have been a bit of a pain to design.
>>23910617>are fineThey become fine once you assemble them as when you finally get them fully assembled they hold themselves in with the cover.>bend the socket until it gets smallerI don't know what voodoo you're using to shape a molded plastic socket back into working condition. I'm glad that the conversation has shifted into the bethesda defense force route of>Well just fix the expensive product yourself!
>>23910626>They become fine once you assemble themYeah, assembling them is a part of building the model you retard. Still waiting on you to post a timestamped photo of that non-bootleg MGEX strike freedom you totally own
>>23910622what the fuck. I didn't know that site existed. I use GG.deals all the time for games, I don't know why I never considered a gunpla version of it possibly existing...
>>23910625the proper scale Acguy isn't much taller than the average HG thoughand Bandai can do really small HGs like the Lotohell they did the Loto and it doesn't even have the franchise meme factor like the Acguy
>>23910626a screenshot of a shopping cart is not proof of ownership. the hands are polypropylene at ball socket. it's soft and can be worked, just as how you deformed it with your hamhands when breaking the moldings free.>They become fine once you assemble them as when you finally get them fully assembled they hold themselves in with the cover.thank you for confirming you have the finger dexterity of a lower primate. >>23910629>hell they did the Loto and it doesn't even have the franchise meme factor like the Acguythe loto is also a significantly simpler design, especially when you take into account the sensor parts the acguy has (and their moving parts; see >>23910365). a proper 1/144 scale tb acguy would be miniscule.
He has replied to me twice now declaring that my order email isn't real kek.
2 separate companies decide to make TB acguys in 1/100 scale (or 1/100 "sized") but no 1/100 Atlas Gundam form chang nor bandai.
>>23910639atlas is poo poo
What possesses someone to blindly defend Bandai and insist that they never make mistakes in kit design?
>>23910638Yes I do own 6 PGU nu gundams. Here's the proof. A screenshot of my cart on a website.
>>23910639Good that shit is ugly
I think posting about straight up bootlegs like daban is extreme faggy behaiviour but I have no issue with posting about unlicensed kits like the TB acguys or whatever
>>23910581Would I be fine with people posting news about new releases in the hobby i am a part of.Yes?
>>23910642You're genuinely a schizo. You're not even trolling, you're truly unwell.
You've made countless posts about Bandai. It's time to stop. >inb4 being called a bandai shill.
Ok, so I just did my first snaa kit. Gota say visually stunning and awesome to build. But... the chink in charge of the water slides should be locked up by the ccp. Those things would start disintegrating 2 seconds after touching water. The white water slides were particularly fragile. I ended up only able to get half the decals on so it still looks decent but kind of soured an otherwise good experience. Also they called for slides to be put in the middle of seem lines kek. Anyways the joints are pretty tight except for the arms so it cant carry its big ass laser/sword thing? Could be a user error but it seems to affect a lot of people differently. I would give it an 8/10 just on the fact that the runners have had the best underrating I have ever seen in my life (japs take notes). Next kit I am just going to paint the runners with the pieces still on them.
>>23910647Where's the timestamped photo of the model you totally built and hated?>>23910646Why are you okay with shills coming here to try and push their garbage on you?
>>23910650>Where's the timestamped photo of the model you totally built and hated?:)
>>23910638there's a reason why timestamped pictures have been the gold standard of evidence on this site for decades. a screenshot of a random subtotal without context is entirely meaningless. any screenshot of digital text can be readily altered through HTML menus, or could be created in a word processing document. the critical thinking skills of you pinoys gives me secondhand embarrassment.
>>23910652Where is it?
>>23910654>there's a reason why timestamped pictures have been the gold standard of evidence on this site for decadesPro tip, after being here long enough, you really stop giving a shit about proving to newfags that you actually have what you're talking about just because they don't like your opinion on it.
>>23910658You give enough of a shit to continue this tantrum but not enough to stand up for 30 seconds and take a photo?
>>23910659Correct.>Say I hate rifle>You don't have it post time stamp>Do that>That's airsoft>insert mag, round in chamber to prove it's real>That's fakeI'll let you continue to rage while I don't give a shit that you don't like my opinions on the MGEX and other toy robots I've built.
>>23910654what's funny is he posted an email, which quite literally is an email client with an embedded word processing application. you can forward emails to yourself and change the contents to literally anything. or just make them up from scratch!there's only three reasons he wouldn't post the timestamped pic:>he doesn't own the kit>he owns it, but hasn't built it>he built it but completely butchered it to the point he's to scurred to post it.
>>23910663Dodging the point. You are whining about things you do not own to try and advertise trash.
>>23910663>things that never happened >on works of creative fiction, the website every time
>>23910668>>23910669>the grand conspiracy of /gpg/ that I bought a toy model kit and I have negative things to say about it
>>23910666Nobody believes that he bought it to begin with.
>>23910360Ong!!!!Stop production immediately!!!Don't recline the seat without permission!!!!Bitch overseas modelers!!!
>>23910650>Why are you okay with shills coming here to try and push their garbage on you?Because thats how I see new things I didnt know about like the gelgoog III or the tb acguy.
over 9000 hours in paint.
>>23910674Do you clap when you see commercials too?
>paint so thick it's hard to get exact quantities out of the bottle >eyeball the thinner ratio because of it>still too thick when spraying so add more thinner in the cupLacquers are such a fucking pain dude. What am I doing wrong? Should I buy one of those paint mixing things? I think it's because they are too thick in the bottle and I'm not stirring enough before use.
>>23910649
>>23910677You can use pipettes to get more accurate measurements.
>>23910636>the loto is also a significantly simpler designI'll take your word for itthe smooth curvature of the Acguy seems simple but I'm no engineer>>23910639>no 1/100 Atlas Gundam form chang nor bandaiI'm gonna call nepotism on thiswhy does the Narrative get an excellent MG when no one likes Narrative? answer: because it's a Katoki design while the Atlas isn't
>>23910681>but I'm not engineerDon't worry, neither is he.
>>23910680I know that's how I do it with acrylics and enamels. But with lacquers it doesn't work because too thick to be sucked in by the pressure. My acrylics are from Mr Hobby as is the lacquers. Enamels are from Tamiya.
>>23910672Why does the author even care so much? Assuming it's not performative. Surely he doesn't get royalties from kits in the TB line.
>>23910686I have never had a pipette fail to suck up unthinned mr.color lacquer.
>>23910690Are yours the cheap disposable stuff?
>>23910693Yeah. I but whatever pipettes are cheapest on amazon. You know the kind.
>>23910681I like the Narrative.
>>23910676Anon, don't be so obtuse. If you have adblock on and nobody talks about what kits are to be released, then how would you know what kits are to be released?
Which paint tastes the best
>>23910701Paid shills shitting up the board are the only way, apparently
>>23910683you don't need to be an engineer to notice that the tuberculosis acguy has 2-3x as many points of articulation than the loto. even ignoring the claws (which would likely be fixed pose if HG, as the missile door "fingers" were for the loto).
I wish I was a paid shill desu
Zak looked better with glasses
>>23910702Mr Surfacer Aqueous smells a bit like chocolate if you squint hard enough (with your nose)
>>23910704Hateful fanatics calling normal people shills, a tale as old as time
>>23910743Are you American?
>>23910738A lot of red paints smell very sweet too
>>23909169they aren't, you're just a retard baiting people with resin kits which are always more expensive than plastic.>>23909185Go look up how much B-Club kits go for, not even Bandai can make resin kits cheap. That's where chink recasters come in.
Moepla is real, it looks like. Quick shippers, but they didn't put any fill in the box, so it was just rattling around in there. Minor complaint, though.
>>23910676Retarded faggot.
>>23910135you're not alexander
>>23910459its just a air gun not a paint gun he fine
>>23910140the entire point is time saving yes
Guys, what's the big magic mean?
>2026>still no hizack revive>still no hizack 2.0The AoZ version does NOT count
>>23910867if Bandai doesn't make an AOZack soon then AK will
>>23910581That's not Tallgeese Flugel retard. That's a Tallgeese Heaven interpretation.
>>23909992Weapons done, just 6x fin funnels to go as far as assembly goes. Not sure how Katoki I'm going to go on the decals.Also it was tempting to build the backpack as the double backpack and then just put 3 funnels on each.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCOhq8EN6n0For the one person that cares (me).They're comparable to the new RGs without the advanced MS joints in construction.
>>23910946I want to build a skyscraper out of Styrofoam or something and recreate this scene with Gundams.>Hey, did you know?>We're both classified as Gundams, apparently.>Both you and me.Which two Gundams should I use?I was thinking the RX-78 and ground gundam, but would there be a funnier pair?
>>23910867Eh I respect the original but I like the AOZ version morethick pipes and narrow mono eyes just do something for me
>>23911005I wish the AoZ one had arm tubes
>>23910987RX-78 and the Strike
>>23910165
>>23911060Pretty sure actual panties aren't made with those kinds of textures.
I miss the build series, I enjoyed the Bandaikinos they'd come up with and all the kitbash potential.
>>23911005I don't like how the aoz kit went for the *one* design with the fat and ugly rounded pauldrons and lack of bicep tubesLiterally every other variant has these, they just gave us the shit one
>>23910672Oh shit. The author is angry? Hurry, cancel the preorders. Destroy the molds!
>>23911130They should destroy the three gorges dam and put a stop to it forever
>>23911130I still don't get why Ohtagaki got mad on Bandai's behalf. He doesn't own copyright of literally anything related to Thunderbolt.
>>23911109Because the kit we got is "Hi-Zack Custom", not the standard one.
>>23911131I'd eat half a decade's worth of hobby drought if it meant japan went to war with china. I'm genuinely curious how round 2 would go for the both of them.
>>23910688probably because literally no one wants some random chang to profit off your work
>>23911108the first GBF was fun. too bad they fumbled all the sequels that came right after.
>>23911156Should have made his own garage kitSo chang could buy it once and mass produce it
>>23911164chang should just make their own giant robot property anyone in the world cares about
What do you guys use for thick gates that a godhand cant handle?Is tamiya durable enough to handle them?
>>23911167I use dspiae nippers for that. God hands can do it if you have a skilled hand. You just need to apply steady pressure and not gorilla grip the things,
>>23911167I use Godhands for literally everything. Clear plastic, thick plastic, doesn't matter. If it fits between the blades it'll cut it. Just be careful I guess I don't know.
>>23911165Nah, chang should supply the demand that bandaidont. Dont give a fuck how much some hack author seethes.He completely shit the bed and ruined thunderbolt from the third act onwards. He can starve to death as far as I'm concerned.
>>23911167cheapo double bladed snips and then a file>>23911172I did this until my godhands ended up noticeably dull
>>23911172>>23911169Isnt the thin blade fragile? I've seen a lot of snapped godhands and I dont want to risk them on those extra thick and brittle stand gates.
>>23911173yeah I know you're an edgy little boy
>>23911180It is more fragile but it's still steel. The damage is from the plastic giving and the blades hitting each other. This is avoidable by not gorilla gripping them and applying even pressure like I suggested. This is how you should be doing every cut with every nippers because it's the only way to get clean cuts.
>>23911185>bladesonly one blade, blade hitting the bladestop is the issuethey have an adjustable screw that is usually set right but you should make sure it is
>>23911188It's very late. Please understand.
>>23911181Pretty soon I'll be an edgy little boy with thunderbolt acguys :)Thunderbolt zock, gogg and zgok e soon I hope :)
>>23911192okay enjoy anon no one here actually gives a fuck
>>23911195Yes they doThere will be dozens of anons showing off their thunderbolt acguys soon!It'll be the talk of the town, and you cant be a part of it.
>>23911197I don't want anything from Thunderbolt so I'll be alright buddy
>>23911200Nobody cares what you like
>>23911185the official GodHand page suggests a cutting method where you clamp on the nipper lightly multiple times while rotating the part slowly until it falls off. i do that when cutting clear or thick plastic so the blade doesn't get damaged.
>>23911202you seem interested in what other people like for some reason thoughbeit
>>23911203That's the safest way to handle it.
Me? I use a dremel with a cutting blade. 10000RPM of clean cutting everytime.
>>23911209>he doesn't use an ultrasonic knifeLMAO faggot
I only snap Entry Grades so I just rip the parts straight of the touch gates with my bare hands. I would never but the tech is impressive, there were people who build the EG RX78 In the bag that it came in
>>23911237When I was a kid I would just twist the parts until the gates eventually broke. I did it with master grades too, and only used fingernail scissors for the parts that truly got out of the way.
>>23911060That’s actually not bad an idea, thanks
>>23911248Damn man.I used scissors at least.
Working on my 2nd Zudah, this time with the antenna. I'm gonna build 3 Zudah units.
>>23911254I did not give a shit back then. I actually thought I was being clever for barely using tools.My kits all used to be covered in stress marks.
>>23911266Yeah man, same. I went through a bunch of my teens in general not giving a shit about nubs that much. I cleaned them a little more and more the older I got but it's really embarrassing how little I cared for a decently long time.
Why the fuck are the silver and gold pieces in SMP so fucking swirly?
>>23911264Based Zudah enjoyer!
Why is the Nu Gundam such a snapfaggot tourist magnet?
Can someone give me a qrd on the 1/100 RG RX-78's in the market? I got me an upscaled zeong and I'm not sure which chinese manufacturer is the best.
>>23910314oh jeez, the *recast* guy is here too.

Why don't those chink use gold from Hyaku Shiki 2.0 kit?
Is New Century Zero really a massive flop in nuTakara's eyes? Fuzors got more love with the new motorized Liger Zero Phoenix and the upcoming LZ Falcon model. I wouldn't be surprised if Buster Fury is the first Berserk Fury variant in the RMZ line.
>>23911337Good stuff i'm telling you. Sadly Bandai doesn't reprint this very often so buying them can be a pain in the ass.
Best robot in MS Igloo, next to Zegok and Hildolfr.
30MM anime when?
Holyfuck just make a 1/144 kit already!
>>23911388because the original Phenex has a very bright gold.
>>23911392it had zero (heh) stakes and zero plot
Where can I buy Phantom Naias Brunhilde?is it resin only? this is the only FFS design I'm interested in.
mmmmm
>>23911474>butt windowAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TAKE MY MONEY
>$80 for a bootleg quality kitlol GSC is high when they made Moderoid Testa Rossa
>>23911499>Moderoid Testa Rossais it out yet?
>>23911499GSC is so rich they have a racing team, they don't care because people will buy their stuff anyway.
>>23911503just the POs and the painted prototype for an early chink bootleg-quality kit
>>23911499Elaborate?
>>23911506Wdym?
>>23911509>>23911507Moderoid is shit
>>23911499Find new material to shitpost. This is getting boring.
>>23911507>>23911509It will look like this unpainted for a $80+ kit it's a fucking scam
>>23911511>>23911513I don't see the issue. You don't know how to paint scale models?
>>23911514the issue is the price. It's like that overpriced Geara Doga statue shit that Bandai wanted to sell just recently.
>he's poor
>>23911505>they have a racing teamDon't they make FAR less than bandai?
>>23911517>Geara Doga statue shitKino
>>23911517Moderoid price is literally nothing lol. I don't see the issue, just stick to action figures if paint intimidates you.
>>23911520Did you forget that Bandai has several giant statues, has an animation studio, game studio and a garbage recycling factory?
>>23911522These are statues?
>>23911513>It will look like this unpaintedThen paint it.
>>23911531So in the grand scheme of things, having a racing team doesn't mean much at all.
>>23911534They are traditional styled modelkits. You build a statue using ahesives like glue or cement, and then paint.
>GSCthey owned some part of 4chinz or maybe still dothey always have /buyfag/ thread on /a/
>>23911536They are 4chan's investor too lol.
>>23911520https://www.goodsmileracing.com/en/team/ they do GT racing with an Miku Itasha livrey Mercedes.
bad frown incorporated >:(
>>23911511Moderoid is shit because...it is not a prepainted action figure?
>>23911513that plastic looks super cheap
>>23911548Every snapshit build looks cheap.
>>23911551modern chinkpla are not
>>23911520yeah but they invest their money in cool things instead
>>23911553>Prepainted chingchong kitOpinion discarded
>>23911554But Bandai invested in...
>>23911558>MIGUi'm in
>>23911558They shut this down didn't they?
>>23911513>Cheap looking plastic>Needs to be painted>Too expensive for bootleg fagsYep, it's kino time
>>23911388I don't believe they can sell this for $30 USD
>>23911563They only runs Metaverse for limited time
>>23911567Looks fine honestly.
mgGODS...is the mg line dying?>7 in 2019>3 in 2020 >1 in 2023>2 in 2025>2 confirmed for 2026 so far>meanwhile all we get is hg slop as protag suits for gqux, bitch from mercury and hathawaywas graderager right?
>>23911581>>2 confirmed for 2026 so far1 asstray red frame for the 294th time and FAZZ recolor
>>23911581Yes, and I thank God for it because it means I can stop giving bandai money, even if I'm just a single snow flake to them.
>>23911581chinasama will save us
>>23909026Tips for applying stickers? It's a pain to get them off the paper, and the I keep slipping and mashing them when I try to handle those lil fuckers with the tweazers
>>23911578Looks dogshit compares to what it looks like in MS IGLOO
>>23911591Try using a toothpick instead.
>>23911592Well yeah, to replicate paint on metal you need to put paint on plastic.
>>23911581>reposting fucking twitter shit
>>23911591I used the tip of my hobby knife back when I still did stickers. The sharp edge makes it easier to get underneath the sticker, and cleanly lifts it off the sheet.
>>23911598>Painting the Katoki tank is fine but painting the videogame mecha is unacceptable!Make up your mind
>>23911605We can repost reddit shit if that makes you more comfortable.
>>23910450buy some fucking enamel retard
>>23910450gundam marker chads stay winning
>>23911333Even Papa Bandai has swirly golds and silvers, its just part of the coloration process
>>23911607Who are you quoting?
>>23911635Who are you replying?
>>23911541were. they completely distanced themselves when disney threw a stink.
here's your hambrabi sticker sheet broall the monoeyes are movable btw
>>23911606>>23911597Thanks! It's way better than removing them by hand/with the tweazersAlso, why some gunplas have stickers for their inner parts to begin with? My RG Tallgese has a lot of them, but I won't even get to see them, I really don't get it
>>23911591The tip is to throw away the sticker sheet and shell out $3-5 for waterslide decals. For the eye, anything is better than a sticker, I use this sparingly, but even a gunpla marker is better in a pinch.
>>23911625How much do I have to pay you to make a dalong style catalog for all the bootleg manufacturers
>>23911625Huh, no wonder the build on the Star Abyss seemed to go on forever
>>23911643>all the monoeyes are movable btwfuck yeah
>>23911654I'm currently working on one! It'll be a brand-agnostic collaborative gunpla database with as much data as possible.It'll probably be online in like a month.
>>23910450need to reapply some chrome and green on some very small sections
>>23909028>>23909027>"I escaped the jar, aurum"
>>23911694Should've used a metallic red marker instead
>>23911701I don't want to spend more money
>>23911704Metallic markers are a pretty good investment, they tend to look good and are easy to clean up (when applied on lacquer). Handbrushed metallic paints don't always look good in comparaison, unless you drybrush or spongepaint but lmao spongpainting in those specific spots
>>23911707I have no plan on detail painting metallic red for my next 10 project or so, I'd rather put extra effort than spend money. These markers are also more expensive than a GX series paint.
>Insert the piece and "snap it so it fits vertically>One of pins snapped Fuck...I want to kms..
>>23911707Is there any real benefit over brush painting? Why not reuse the same paint you have for aibrushing anyway
>>23911727It's fine if you're certain you're not going to fuck up. I sometimes handbrush lacquer on top of lacquer for very small details, but in case of a fuck up there's no wiping it off like a marker or enamel paint
>>23911726If it stays it stays, if not, put a drop of glue in the peg hole.
I'm trying to add a commander horn to the head of a Hi-Mock I'm building. Does anyone have a trick or method for making sure I get it centered above the eye the first time?
>>23911739>Hi-MockTAKE ME BACK
>>23911739TAKE ME BACK
>>23911739Lay down tape on both sides and put it in the middle.

>>23911759omg Migu!
does>きれいに切り取りますtranslate to>this part is visible, don't fuck up
>>23911770>Cut it out neatlyIt may or may not refer to the part being visible, someone else who reads moon runes can comment. I think I've seen this for parts that are supposed to be tight fitting as well and aren't visible.
>>23911695Nubs! Atleast put some effort in assembling your plastic fetish bait, anon.
>>23911770Post pic of the part you bodged.
>>23911771Pretty much, it translates to: "tak care to cut out neatly"
>>23911776She's nowhere near done yet anon, don't you worry
Think I fucked up something, have anyone here build the RG Tallgeese yet?The "skirt" pins won't reach the holes in the legs, and the legs themselves feel a bit..stiff? Seems one of them is also shorter than the other by 1cm somehow
>>23911771>are supposed to be tight fitting as well and aren't visiblethat is indeed the case>>23911778the angle exaggerates a bit, but this corner is very noticeably less flush than the others
>airbrushing>huge splatter comes out on to leg, looks like shit>try to wipe it off with paper towel>towel fibres get stuck on itFugg :D I guess I'll dress it up as dirt or damage then.
>>23911793That looks like a sucky part to seperate again but if it were mine I would forever be annoyed knowing it is there. Even of it does not interfere with the end result I would fix it.
>>23911790the top light grey parts with the dark grey dots needs to rotate down more (A14).
>>23911812it's held by three pegs with absolutely no accessible point of leveragesurely the moon will forgive this one and shaving a new face onto one of the parts
>>23909310Full head now
>>23911834can you not clamp the parts flush to close the seam? do they move and spring back, or do they not move at all?if they do move, wick in some cement and clamp the seam shut.
>>23909379I do not care if my painted builds don't get used for the OP, personally.
>>23911887i don't care either, it's neat when one of them does get used but i'm not going to throw a fit if one of my builds doesn't get featured
>>23911901i care and will have a month long melty because my anonymous e-fame of this general is the only thing I have in life
