>>23916385>Probably piss poor>Probably...Do you even have a compressor like this? What is it with people in the internet seem to think only the most professional, expensive stuff is good enough to paint some plastic toys. A set like that gahleri is good enough for primer, color and top coats. If bro likes airbrushing be can always get a smaller brush model to connect to that compressor or get a real compressor when the membrane one dies.
>>23916419There is over a month of time left, no need to rush yet.
>>23916423NTA but in general compressors without tanks are not recommended since with airbrush one of most important aspects of compressor work is to deliver stable pressure. In typical work, you frequently enable and disable airflow, which in case of compressor lacking tank will mean constant turning on and off, along with pressure fluctuations, not to mention continuous work to provide the pressure and associated quick overheating. Sure, they take less space and all that, for priming or base layer they are okay but even cheap Chinese variants with tanks (and, to be honest, 90% or something of compressors available will be same rebranded Chinese model) will allow him to do that and more, should he ever decide to move forward, for only slightly higher price - and I assure you he will at some point. I, too, once got cheap "mini-compressor + airbrush" kit and I consider both a waste of money - they do allow very simple primer/base coat stuff but nothing more and that's very, very limited use for airbrush.To avoid being groundless, that mentioned Ghaahleri mini-compressor would cost me 360 PLN, equivalent of 80€, while compressor with a tank I use right now, Chinese local variant, cost 400 PLN aka 90€. This really makes no sense. Of course, some Sparmax or Cretex models would cost 4-5 times as much but I find no issues with my current model.
>>23916432This hobby is a waste of money desu.
>>23916435If you enjoy the hobby then money invested into it is not wasted. If you do not enjoy it then find different hobby, as, by definition, it is activity for sole purpose of having fun.Only wasted money is the one invested into tool or resources that ultimately are abandoned in favour of more reasonable ones that do their job better. Like some kind of "cope camera" you buy and pretend it's "just as good" those more expensive ones instead of some reasonable model that justify every shortcoming and still finds it's use along the main one. Like "premium" synthetic brush that fails to emulate actual natural hair instead of cheap synthetic brush for applying details with metallic paints, washes or drybrushing because it's not afraid of strong chemicals that will clean it well but destroy natural hair one and even if, it cost fraction of cost and can be got in bulk. And finally some cheapest airbrush model that spend more time in pieces while you try to figure out why the fuck it refuses to work AGAIN instead of some reasonable mid-zone variant you know what is capable of.
>>23916432Atleast you put some nuance, I respect that. I got both some Chang airtank compressor and that gahleri one and I like them both. Sure a membrane compressor is not ideal but, even of you get a separate moisture trap and a cleaning pot, you can start airbrushing for under €100,- because it is a complete set in a box. I got both from a local friendly scale model store for a few Euro more as directly from China but Euro consumer protection gives a one year warranty. Getting it from AliExpress will be cheaper but if it breaks early you are fucked.
>>23916404>>23916403>My turn... draw!
You may not like it but this is the best kit for this month.
>>23916460Sticker eyes andouth too. No way that's painted. Could be CGI
>>23916460The best kit of the month isn't quite out yet.
>>23916470Weird to see a Nidy girl that isn't a fat bitch
>>23916464Eyes are tampo printed.
>>23916472Just look at that tummy. She's fat as shit.
MG Duel's front skirt was probably the worst piece of armor I've had the displeasure of handling. I'm really considering just gluing this shit.
>>23916483>Me when i have to build scalemodel the way it supposed to be built
TIL that A Bao A Qu is a reference to a cryptid
>>23916460not a fan of her granny bloomers.
>>23916404my hatred for Gundam SNEED grows ever still. I call this one the>AGX-05 Jegan Gerbera Manda>JEGAN DragoonPurple is a royal and evil colour.
it's so FUCKING hot
>>23916537Hi-Jegan
how the fuck does the entirety of aliexpress not sell a single PS plastic plate. It's all goddamn ABS!!!!
>>23916537Jegan head is too big
>>23916566Amazon usually has stuff like that, as do many hobby stores. I got one when I first started out that had files, nippers, a knife, and tweezers. The contents will usually vary depending on where you buy them from, of course.
>>23916544Looks like Yazan's stingray suit with a cape on it to me.
>>23916566Do not recommend. They are usually low quality bottom of the barrel junk that would be mean to give to even the freshest of beginners. Awful nippers that pinch nubs off giving you more work. X-actor style blades that get dull within a couple of uses, etc. Maybe that's a tiny business idea, start making model builder bundles to sell to people that don't consist of the worst chinese junk.
lol someone bought the Hyperlion. Was eyeing that one.
>>23916578Thanks for the advice, I'll take it and just pick out the pieces I need from better brands. This is my first non-Gundam kit and I want to do better than snapshitting like I did as a kid
>>23916404I’m changing some armour pieces around to see what I like.
>>23916598cute
>>23916460She's cute but I'm still not buying girlpla
>>23916460>>23916470Maybe you talk much about mecha musume, but what if the Keroro Robo will be the best kit for the entire month?https://bandai-hobby.net/blog/01_7289/From the looks of things, there's only, like, 4 stickers minimum on this guy: eyes, waist insignia, and shield insignia.
Chink-san! Please give us AoZ GM Sniper III!
>>23916602>says the anon who already bought it.
>>23916610Due to how saturated Chinese GM market has become, honestly just let Bandai take their time with it. Changs should make something more obscure like Fenris Wolf or Nero from Sentinel *huffs copium*
>>23916610You can technically build it with it GM Kai, use GM Sniper head and add verniers to the calf. The right gun though, that's the hard part.
I would like a new Zaku 3 kit
>>23916636I would kill someone if it meant we got a 1/100 zaku III that isn't chink dogshit
>>23916570that's what she said
>>23916636The classic kit is fine
>>23916642Inb4 that one picture.
>>23916638I'm very glad we got the RE/100 Hamma-Hamma, but a Zaku 3 woulda been nice in that line too.
>>23916654The Hamma-Hamma hasn't been reprinted in ages. I'm glad I bought it a few years ago prior to all the shitstorms.
>>23916655Ouch
>>23916654I wish I could find a hamma-hamma that isn't being sold by some retarded scalper
>>23916404Tried making a heat effect for the mg tallgeese III.
>>23916659This is what I paid in 2023, and that was horrible even back then. I still have to build it and I've been wanting to but some invisible force is preventing me from doing so.
>>23916672Needs a bit more red shades, nice attempt though anon
>Zaku 2>Manufacturer: Crest Industries
>>23916403what 30 minutes sisters/fantasy parts would go good with making a Skeletor girlpla?
>>2391670430MF Assassin for starter.
>>23916404My shitty attempt at weathering.
>>23916713I clearly over did it but eh, it is what it is
>>23916713I like it a lot but where is the monoeye
>>23916704
>>23916717The monoeye is just a sticker and if he didn't bother to give it a closed fist, i doubt he cares about the eye.
>>23916717 Shit,Its in there but the shadow is covering it up ( I think) . I used a dark red flat gemstone for art projects so hopefully it didn't fall out. Pic was from awhile ago
>>23916725Now i wonder if i could just do a basic photo edit to put a little circle where it should
>>23916698Please stop killing my boy.
>>23916713The weathering is a bit much but that's the worst I can say. I really like the paint scheme though.
>>23916729Close enough
>>23916736Thanks, Defentally went too hard on the weathering, I agree. Any tips/ criticism on what i should cut back on weathering wise?
BAMCO IS BACK
>>23916708I see. Any 30M Sisters kits that would work?>>23916719Is the Dlroskeleton compatible with the hood?
>>23916544Too good for its own show. They had to nerf it just to make some faggot's oyw relic look good
Bandai was so ahead of the curve on girlpla. https://youtu.be/uwW7SGKJX5E
>>23916858It was annoying how Gcucks staff just suck Brawbro off like it was the coolest thing ever in Gundam history. No one gives a fuck about that thing before and after Gqux.
>>23916618>Changs should make something more obscure like Fenris Wolf
>>23916704>>23916708>>23916850Wizard hood might be a better fit.
>>23916470>missed the preorderHow often koto reprint their shits?
>>23916924Depends, could be about 4-6 months or longer. I reckon she and and Ripper will get a reprint announced down the line alongside whatever is next for the Yggdrasis series of girls, or they'll get a recolour announced first.
>>23916924Often enough. You'll also probably just be able to find it in stock somewhere once it's released you know.
right, so, i've been exclusively using glass files the last few months or so and always use them wet, but i've noticed that my right eye has started to hurt where in years of using sandpaper and i never experienced said eye aches.am i just getting old or does using glass files actually have an effect on it? i'll go back to only using sandpaper and see how it goes, but it's kinda weird. i wear glasses btw.
>>23916860i have a gundam mk-ii armored lady girlpla from the 80's
I finally understand the appeal. I want more of this whole cute girls piloting war machines.
>>23916966Mika Akitaka was ahead of his time
how often do literal whos like dreissen get reprints
>>23916971Both versions are due at the end of the year
>>23916971The Rick Dias Schuzrum and the Kshatriya repair are getting reprinted in the 4th quarter so there's a good chance that the dressein will be reprinted.
post chinkgod kinos
the new Moderoid Ideon looks like shit
MaK is so much harder than Gundam
>>23917014They no different than Artpla and military kits. You will get used to it.
>>23916404MG F91 Harrison almost complete, I just need to topcoat the VSBRs
>>23917029desu I think every aspiring modeler should start off with a piece of shit awful airfix kit that's been using the same tooling since the 80s. even if you fuck it up, it's only up from there.
I remember how I said a few months ago how I wanted an MG MK II, and some dude ITT said a reprint would be hitting shelves mid May. Never listen to anyone on reprint timings in here.
>>23917044Pretty sure the reprint date for that one has been Soon™ since last summer
>>23917044>He didnt get his MG MK III dont know maybe skill issue? They already reprinted the AEUG version, I’m just waiting for the titans version.
>>23917051I believe you don't need a recolor if it is something you have to pay 200 bucks for the scalpers to get. Just buy the white one and paint that shit.
>>23917044It hit the shelves in Japan. US stock is a few months after always.
what if you just waited?are you gonna die soon?your robot model will be reprinted sir
>>23917014im working on one too and it's refreshing coming from mostly gunpla.i wasnt expecting to have to glue a bunch of rivets on but otherwise it's just gluing and puttying for assembly.
>>23917047I pre-ordered one from USAGS last summer when it was projected to be reprinted by December. That pre-order is still waiting for that one single kit, which is projected for Q2 2026 (which, by the way, ends in about eight days).
>>23917051Just paint it. Titans colors paints are super easy to find.
>>23917070So you say
>>23916850Yes
>>23917037and complete
>>23917090out of the box buildjust with flat topcoat the blue plastic it is molded in looks pretty good, but there are some issues I want to point out
>>23917092- the blue parts had a weird greasy layer out of the box so I had to wash those parts before doing anything else with them- this is the first MG kit that came with water sllide decals, I applied those and the emblem of Mitchell Derek, the pilot who ended up using this F91 in the grand finale of the Steel 7 battle (and died there lol). These watermarks are kind bad as the edges are very prominent and visible even after using a decal softener with them- the shoulder exhaust fins are FRAGILE as fuck, I ended up snapping the most lower one of the left side and it was a pain to glue the thing back into place and it is now immobile- the side skirt armor which store the 2 beam sabers don't fit properly into place, so you can see the piece slightly off- the hands are shit, left one can barely hold the rifle and it will fall off if you look at it funny
>>23917102- the yellow stickers were my greatest dread but actually, they are pretty good. they have good adhesive power, are pretty thin so you can apply them easily no matter the surface they go, even the curved ones in the chestthis is especially noticeable in the shoulders, as the large stickers go around 3 whole faces and fit perfectly, hell, they even hide a ugly seamline in the border of the shoulders- the backside of the head lacks a proper metallic sticker for the camera there, so I made my own, it can be seen in this pic, same for the beam rifle, as the sensor also lacks the respective sticker for it
>>23917104it was definitely the right chpice to slightly sand down the ball joint that connects the torso with the waist and the wrists to allow a more fluid movement and avoid accidentally stressing and breaking those partsthe VSBR are pretty big and almost as tall as the suit itself when you extend themhowever, the small size of the suit itself makes it also a very light kit, so it really need to be handled with carethat aside, the titansque looking color scheme really give it way more personality than the boring bland white F91
>>23917106oh also, the small thursters in the waist and shoulder armors are supposed to be white, but I ended up using pale grayblue acrylic paint to have an easier time, as painting pure white is a total bitch
>>23917090>>23917092>>23917102>>23917104>>23917108very neat purple.
https://youtu.be/VOMaGNjYLhA?si=_AXcsonlFEcLeD1OAlso, bandai so far has made 4 out of all the units that comprise the Steel 7:X-1 Full ClothHarrison's F91F90 with the I type packand the RE/100 Vigna-Ghina IIbut the other 3 are a plain no no since they are jovian suits that will never see the light (Tortuga, Abijo and Diona) so I wonder what I could use for stand ins of those
>>23917104They were stickers on the 1.0? The 2.0 which I did a few weeks ago had the shoulder and chest yellow as decals.
>>23917124yeah, here is the sticker sheetas I said they are not so bad and I think stickers in this case are a better choice than decals, as even if you topcoat those, they can still rip or tear way more easily anytime you handle the model
>>23917126and here is the (minimal) sticker sheet of the F91 2.0
>>23917128and the decals sheet of the 1.0you get both the emblems of Harrison and Mitchell and a slight variation in the font type for the F91 marking
>>2391670430MS Ilshana comes with some skull shaped clubs / staffs, that you might find useful>>23916713I like it actually
>>23917014:) hello new maschinen krieger friend
Just arrived in the mail
>>23917152how much did he set you back dude?
>>23916704how to figure rise kits scale next to the 30minute stuff? a dragon ball figure could be a pretty solid base if the size is right
>>2391715580 bucks. I'd be kicking myself if I didn't get it.
>>23917115>Tortuga, Abijo and Dionayou could use the Physalis, a v dash Victory and a FSS volks kit for the last one, since it has an actual face and is supposed to look regal
>>23917158fuck that's actually a really good deal, nice find
>>23917161Thanks. Gonna get back into the groove with this one before I set my sights on one of those GTM monsters
>>23916404Here’s my DTA WIP, I’m not sure if I want to paint her hips and waist yet, as there’s no part separation there. I probably will, but in that case, I will need to get some masking tape or putty first.
i got the osiris dominator instead of alyzeus, same price where i live. did i fuck up?
>>23917172Both are ugly. You fucked up somewhere for sure to want either.
>>23917172Hell no, if you were really gonna drop that much cash on a single kit you made the smarter choice
Any models that don't need paint? O want a breather once in a while.
>>23917200MG Hyaku Shiki
>>23916659RE 1/100 Hamma Hamma is getting reprinted Q4 2026. It is not on Bandai's website yet, but suppliers have mentioned that it is part of their delivery batch. Suppliers also mentioned reissues of the 1981 MAs and warships which Bandai hasn't disclosed yet.Large stockists in China/Asia have been accepting preorders for the above since 2 weeks ago and Hamma Hamma closed quite early. Japanese stockist don't like spoiling stuff, but Chinese ones do.RE 1/100 Jagd Doga and Gun EZ are coming in September 2026
>>23917212
>>23917070I think you're probably wrong about that.
>>23917212The recent re/100 love is so nice.
>>23917212>Gun EzI hope that means that bandai also sells the alternate versions on their gay store.
>>23916969i misplaced my og sitara that came with the ganesha pack so i got two karwa chauths. snapping the karwa chauth version right now.
Is it just me or fuckton of decals don't look good on Zoids at all? How am I supposed to take an enemy from the Guylos Empire whose robot tyrannosaurus is filled to the brim with decals?
got this as a birthday present bros, unfortanently i have had little to no desire to build gunpla lately and i already built the rg banshee and hate building duplicates. Think i should sell it? i would hate to sell a gift but im not too crazy about this design. I wish i just got lego again
>>23917273*take seriously
>>23917276>selling a birthday presentNah, mang. You build that shit and do all the extra shit like replace the internal shoulder pieces with metal parts, paint and waterslide, the whole nine yards. Because you damn well show gratitude to people who give you thoughtful gifts like these.
>>23917276What the FUCK is wrong with your feet? Are those warts?
Sell it and get a pedicure holy shit.
>>23917273I can't take anything from Zoids seriously tbqhdesu
>>23917281ok ok, il keep it, it doesnt look too shabby,
>>23916404Just finished with this Guncannon in Sayla Custom color. I think GQ's version is now my fav version of the Guncannon.
>>23917212>>23917223Bawoo reprint doko
>>23917315Already restocked since April.
>>23917298>even the artwork is overloaded by decalsyikes
>>23917305Nice
>>23917305you should've hit it with a gloss coat first that way you can panel line it and use markers or whatever and clean it without damaging the plastic
>>23917315It just got one. Here's one I did during the spring.
>>23917370marry me?
>>23917388I'm a great big fat guy though
fuggg this is a long shot but would anyone have ANY idea what this piece is from, its rougly 6mmx4mmx2mmFound this on my floor and I hadnt snipped anything red recently so I’m probably not missing out but if I can just be sure
>>23917396Bottom side
>>23917397Looks like part of something's heel.
>>23917390me too. we're perfect for each other uwu
>>23917255How does one misplace a whole ass girl
why does everyone equate realism to decal sensory overload
>>23917481Probably inspired by airfighter, except the decal spamming looks lame on a toyetic robot.
>>23916423I don't think that only the best shit works. I rigged an airline from an aquarium pump (a decent one no less) to an airbrush to get started, and tried the canister propellant kind of airbrush as well. Eventually I realized how much money I was wasting avoiding buying a regular ass basic chinese compressor and went to Harbor Freight to get the cheapest compressor. They had an airbrush specific one for like 60 bucks with a shitty airbrush and I used that for eight years.The one you or whoever linked was just a repackaged aquarium air pump. Exactly what I started with. I didn't speak from a station of looking down on it, I spoke from experience about it. Since then my son has made the same mistake, and I had to let him. You're probably older, so you might listen. I gave it to you straight. It'll struggle with most things and sputter when it starts overheating. To boot you'll waste time and money fixing paintjobs and feel like you're not capable of it or failing, when you're just fighting tools not meant for the job.>>23916590There are some really cheap but actually decent nippers on amazon.
fat safs in the works

>In the story, it was just destroyed as prototype parts before assembly, or repurposed as civilian heavy machinery at a construction site (does that mean they managed to mass-produce even a few?). Turning the GQ Gun Tank into a model kit is probably too much to ask for, huh. Commercializing a big, Dom-sized box for something with zero screen time feels like it'd be asking way too much, right.>箱がドム超えそうな大物>Box that might be larger than Rick Dom GQSo obviously not much hope, but lots of people still willing to pay big bucks for one.
>>23917579They will definitely make it a Pbandai HG.
>>23917579The GQ gun tank does look pretty good.
Guys I really want to build but am just like tapped out upstairs. Can't summon the motivation. Anyone got any advice?>>23917579This might be the best Gq design
>>23917568It was already more than 100 on pre-order
>>23917579it reminds me of how Takara Tomy butchered Jagd Fury. the RMZ DLC looks nothing like the original render!
>>23917611
>>23917612this looks way cooler than the original renderstill not as cool as the OG berserk fuhrer thoughdefinitely odd it's so different anyhow but probably because the original was insanely bland
>>23917612From dinosaur to dog
Knight Nu
>>23916401holy fuaaaaaakkkk we WON MG bros https://x.com/MitakiharaCity/status/2068908691785687391
just a couple months until it's mine...
>>23917612can't wait for the RMZ cause I ain't buying the AMZ metal build
I still can't understand why Berserk Fury's high-mobility mode is just a Geno Breaker cosplay that can't just its cannon midair
>>23917612Interesting to see color separated pistons on a RMZ zoid. I hope those are decals on the guns and not prepainted text.
>>23917653because it's not an RMZ. It's the Burserk Fury AMZ (Metal Build)
>>23917647THE GOLDEN AGE OF MGS IS ABOUT TO START. HOP ON THE MG TRAIN WE'RE GOING TO SEE SOME WILD SHIT.
>>23917647monkey paw curls: the new MGs are expensive as fuck. i'm already reeling at Liberty Astray's price being more expensive than Turn Red despite the lack of accessories!
>>23917664Another paw: MGs are gonna be exclusively for protagonist of latest anime.
is the only diference between HG scopedog and scopedog turbo all the extra launchers on the latter>>23917598surely you jest
Why do people like EVAs? The designs are absolute dogshit and the anime is trash.
>>23917691Pseuds who dislike actual mecha like eva because it they see it as le psychological show. Also association with asuka, with whom everyone wants to have sex.
Why do people like FSS? The designs are absolute dogshit and the anime is trash
>>23917691It is le pretentious mecha that essay youtubers like to suck off.
>>23917691Because I was first forced to be on anti-depressants at age eight, and I've been in a psychiatric ward twice so far, and it's the most realistic portrayal of depression and mental illness that I have ever seen in anything.
People who don't understand EVA have obviously never woken up in a hospital after a failed suicide attempt, and that is great. I wouldn't wish that feeling on anybody else, ever.
Evangelion is an anime about broken people, made by a person broken at the time, and made for people who are broken to remind them that they aren't suffering alone. If that isn't your thing, I get it, you can go watch Code Geass again or something idk.
>>23917718Okay, but what's Rebuild 3.0 even about?
>>23917718Too bad that said person later found (very wealthy) wife and decided to shit on his former audience by basically saying "lol get outside and find gf, this is real life". And made Asuka clone solely to piss off her fans, too.
>>23917667Turbo has different leg armor too
>>23917723#beastmode
>>23917723People who look back on the lowest times in their life often do feel ashamed of that person they once were. It sucks, but I get it.
>>23917647>>23917664I'm okay with MG dying, honestly. The less I spend on gunpla the more I can save or spend on other things.
>>23917212Bandai needs to make more V Gundam era Re100 kits.
>>23917579>So obviously not much hope, but lots of people still willing to pay big bucks for one
Should I buff plastics before applying gloss topcoat?
>>23916544Something about this kit gives me c-clip PTSD
>>23917769No, tf?
>>23917734bandai needs to focus on late UC as a whole it's retarded we're getting ANOTHER Zaku II variant while several F91 and Victory suits don't have kits new or modern
>>23917782Putting the focus on less popular stuff is a great strategy and I am surprised they never thought of that before. You should be the new CEO, the shareholders would love you.
>>23917782Late UC has a plethora of designs that bandai can use. This discussion is regularly had, but there's truly no rhyme or reason behind why those retards do what they do. They're extremely lucky that they have such a valuable IP and have built up their manufacturing capabilities, because if they hadn't done that, they would be in the same position as Koto with how ass retarded they are with their decisions.>Let's re-master the same gam- I mean robot model kit we've remade 10 times already in the past 5 years! That's what the consumers want!
>>23917813That is unironically what sells best.
>>23917814look, all I'm saying is that over the years I've seen enough "new" designs of late UC model kits instantly sell out enough times that you can make an argument contrary to that.
>>23917817They sell out because they make them in lesser quantity.
>>23917824>still sells out>Then bandai has to do the same old song and dance of doing new batches because they didn't anticipate the popularity
>>23917828Better than what happened with G-Witch and just pallets of what's the name of that mecha. I didn't watch the show, but I remember pallets of it at a discount.
>>23917813Bandai likes to feed on popularity. Most of late UC media: F91, Victory, G-Savior ( may be ) were failures and didn't amount to anything. Not to mention the miniaturization of late UC makes it difficult to release the kits in the most popular line aka HG.
>>23917828>They make and sell smaller batches, then make more eventually while also constantly producing the popular thingsThis means they are bad at doing business and should hire some random retard online who knows what people really want. PG glup shitto full retail.
>>23917839>glup shittoI had to Google this. It's a tumblr Star Wars meme? Really?
>>23917843I thought you knew everything
>>23917828that was bandai's intention. all of the MG poll winners got paper reissues at best just so they can say "we reprinted it, now shut the fuck up!", and to also induce FOMO so they sell out fast enough.
>>23917839Sorry, guess I'm the only one who is capable of pattern recognition.
>>23917856Your idea of pattern recognition is saying that they were right to sell what they're selling and then throwing a fit about them not selling things that aren't popular.
>>23917851Not about tumblr.
>>23917858>Bandai does the same retardation for 10+ years>but no, it's the kids who are wrongOk.
>>23917861Where's your multi billion dollar company since you seem to know how to run a business so much better than they do?
>>23917862Okay bandai employee. Thanks for the input.
>>23917867That's right. You have nothing because all you do is go online and screech about how they aren't selling you the toys you want. Maybe you should consider being less of a grown ass toddler and stop spending all your time crying about toys on the internet,
>>23917861that's funny because that's what they literally did on the recent investor meeting Q&Ahttps://x.com/i/status/2068899348503761279>kid investor: i can't buy precure toys becuase they're too expensive>bandai exec: JUST HAVE MORE MONEY LMAOOOOOO
>>23917871>Child Shareholder: "The Precure toys are too expensive, I can't afford them.">Executive in Charge: "Yes, I understand they are expensive. Perhaps you could ask your father for them."
>>23917871>kid investorA what? How does a kid have money to invest in anything?
>>23917871>kid investorIs that what you people are calling yourselves now?
>>23917871Pic related to the bandai employee who runs the internet defense force.
>>23917880>People have to be paid to call me a retard>There's no other way
>>23917703Are you a woman yet then?
>>23917881So you do it for free? You're not even paid to defend them?
>>23917882I don't get it.
>>23917883You're a whiny manchild and everyone is sick of seeing your tantrums over not being sold the exact toys you want
>>23917875it's probably the dad who's the one doing the investing. he just brought his kid as a representative. having crazy people in investor meetings aren't unheard of. IIRC during a Kadokawa meeting there was a girl investor who read a multi-page manifesto on how they ruined her favourite manga.
Another day another retard malding over Bandai.
>>23917892>point out a simple observation over the course of many years>get called a man child and where is your company>but I'm the one who is mad:)
>>23917896Still whining about not being given the toys you're demanding. Maybe if you scream louder they will let you have them.
>>23917896>I am observing this toy company and I am going to throw a tantrum whenever they don't make what I want or do what I expect them to do.:^)
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=054G5McA0X4I am stealing this.
>>23915144>They are reissuing the 1981 MAs and warshipsSorry, they've been doing what???Does that mean I can get affordable Elmeths and Braw Bros soon? Perhaps even my beloved Zakrello (and can't neglect the Bigro)?
Another MG Rising Freedom by chinks.
>>23917919Good base body. Shit wings
>>23917396it's the elbow piece of the RG red frame
>>23917919Looks a lot less greebled than the other, that's nice. But the other anon is right, the wings look like ass
>>23917887To be fair, if I did have enough stock to qualify and my son was bitching about it. I would give him the chance to do so, just along condition that he does something (ie studies hard and gets A's, does his chores consistently).
Is there any official media showing the Gelgoog Jager using the original Gelgoog shield? I want to give my Jager a proper shield but I don’t want to pay the insane price for the commander type Gelgoog Marine just for the shield
taxes and groceries are spitroasting methank plamor i got my backlog and alisexpress
>>23917789>less popular designsHow do we even know, how does Bandai even know? This is a company that's wildly out of touch with everything outside of the top floor board room of their HQ
>>23917212>Gun EZ reprint in SeptemberWhere was this revealed at?
>>23917647>JUST TWO MORE WEEKS SAAR AND MGS ARE BACKlollmao
>>23917665Alsp- P Bandai exclusive
>>23917988I am literally unemployed and can't find a job, but at least when I was employed I bought a massive amount of kits and divvy stocks so my backlog is enormous and I have a small trickling of dividend income to buy paints.
>>23917988My last 5 kits have ben from Aliexpress, all dirt cheap. love the Chinamen
>>23917282Thats all i could notice. Blisters maybe? Never seen anything like that
anyone have the mg gnx? any issues with this old mg that I should know about?
>>23917871kek
>>23917696It doesn't have an anime. Try again next time.
>>23918036There was a movie
how do you guys get past the lazies? sometimes building just feels like such a chore. do you just stop building altogether or just snap something easy with no nub cleaning and shit?im so fucking drained out right now.
>>23918053Somedays you just gotta take it easy and mix it up a bit. You can have more than one hobby. I like doing a hour-max of painting and just playing some games or watching stuff afterwards some times. Isn't great for the backlog but it's not bad for the soul.
>>23918053You can have other hobbies. Sometimes I'll work on a model for 10 hours straight and other times I'll go a week without touching one.
>>23918053i work on something else or do one of my other hobbies. having some variety can help prevent burnout for me
You may not like it but this is what peak mecha looks like according to the western audience
>>23918076I can't remember the name of this movie but I have it somewhere on my hard drive.
>>23918053I take breaks, I've had a painted build just waiting for decals and matte top coat posed on my kitchen table for a week and a half now. Painting also helps with not getting bored of the process. Some days you are just clipping and sanding, another putting on primer/color/clear coat, another assembling, etc.
>>23918053I usually swap to working on a smaller, more simpler kit with far less runners, helps to get back into the right mindset then go back to working on the original project. That or I take mild stimulants.
>>23918053i hate leaving a mess on my table so I progress steadily on buildsmost of my other hobbies are digital and I finish a lot less projects when it can just sit in some folder
