Pick my next MG build for me bwos. I also have a Vidar around here somewhere
>>23932250My vote goes Age-1. Second place Virtue, both I want but when I go to the shops I never spot it.
>>23932250Amazing Red Warrior is amazing
Is this thing really PGU-tier?
>>23932243First time my pic is used as an OP, fuck yeah
>>23932287Pic got rotated... shameful... I must commit seppuku...
Don't know if I should get either HMM Geno Breaker or HMM Sturm Tyrann since both are hand grenades from what I've seen, especially the latter. You can't glue the Tyrann's armor either since it's part of the gimmick.
>>23932276>PGU-tierit don't look too chink'd up so it can't be
>>23932306Just wait for a 2.0 of either of them. We're getting a 2.0 HMM Shield Liger so it's inevitable the earliest Zoids HMM will get a 2.0 as well.
>>23932349they better make the 2.0s the anime versions, except for those that never appeared in the anime. the Battle Story colors were really dull and lack the minis.
>>23932250Mk-V, because Sentinel needs more love by everybody
test buildprobably gonna be a 3 week projectit sucks that I could only paint on weekend.corporate life and commute drain almost all my time and energy
Anyone have a good guide for resin kit pinning? Specifically, how to make sure the pin on one end and the hole on the other end up aligned?
>see review>it's a snapshitter youtuber>close video
let's... introduuuuuuce~
thinking of kitbashing the Physalis head with the Gundam EX and some other kits to make a sort of Event Horizon-esque demonically possessed Gundam. Any tips for kits to bash and paints?
>>23932381You can make some fleshy bits with epoxy putty. Check out the biomecha groupbuild in the OP for inspiration.
just buy solomon physalis
>>23932388granted, the Event Horizon's demonic possession does make it a living breathing entity (like a ship-sized Silent Hill), but not super fleshy like a Strogg dreadnought or the dolls Chucky implants his soul into. Greys, silvers and blacks would work? On top of that, the Gundam EX looks like if the RX-78-2 went to the same place the Event Horizon went to.
>taking a look at Warhammer models because been playing some games recently>mfw this piece of shit costs 82 bucks KEKAROO
>>23932415holy kek how could anyone pay for bootleg quality like this
How's RG Quanta? I want to paint it in Dark Matter style. is it better to just use the HG version?
What country are you from that have no access to neither P-Bandai or Gundam Base Store/Pop Up?
>>23932420Iceland.
>>23932420>Gundam Base Pop UpWho the fuck cares? It's all clearshit anyway.
fucking scalpers will finally neck themselves when this gets reprinted.
>>23932415this is the end result of refusing to acknowledge Thatcher never happened and you manufacture your shit somewhere near Birmingham
>>23932423it will cost that much and you know it. just like the reprinted SMPs
I had negative opinion on this whole AliExpress mania but after some talk with friendly owner of one of local shops, I'm even more against this. EU is right to introduce additional payments to curb this Chinese offensive. And everyone prising Chinese copies and buying legitimate kits here are literally murdering local businesses, that must deal with taxes, regulations and other stuff, including utilisation of plastic.
>>23932426Uh Ms. Ursula this is the Gunpla thread
>>23932425It'll probably be priced at around 9000-9500 yen which is a better deal than getting it from a scalper.
>>23932429Yes. And we talk about shops closing up because too many people say "oh that's cool but I will buy it from Ali lol" or "muh generous Chinese overlords are selling me copies of original kits for 1/4 price, prise the Chinese!".
>>23932434my favorite part of all this is BYD/GMW/Geely strangling the auto industry because we never figured out EVs properly truly the KWAB union
>>23932426Show me your eurofag manufactured plamo robots then You fucking retard
>>23932415I've also gotten interested in wargames (blkout especially) and upon looking up prices I noped out and decided to keep playing on tabletop simulator.
>>23932426Bandai isn't even trying to be subtle with their paid shills lmao
>it's okay if I'm buying from chang!
>>23932415>mfw this piece of shit costs 82 bucksy-you mean that one runner?
>>23932449yeah lol
>>23932451OOF
>>23932438That's not the point. The point is having Chinese government founded economic assault vs local importers being unable to compete when they have to deal with additional costs, taxes, certificates and such.
>>23932462AAAAH ANYTHING BUT THE CHINESE BEING SUCCESSFUL BY RUNNING A BUSINESS NORMALLY WE MUST STOP CHINA FROM TRADING WITH US NOOOO
>>23932462>trading with other nations is an economic assault
>>23932462it is the fucking pointwhy there are no competitors to chang then? instead everyones bitches about "oh no let's keep taxing them, surely that will stop them" instead of proactively trying to answer with an initiative of their onwthe reason? being lazy conformist asseslmao, that retarded way of thinking has already doomed the eurofaggots car industry, why the hell you think people still buy chang shit? because it caters to them and is attractive
>>23932465WE MUST BE BETTER MEN! WE MUST MAKE CHANG SUCCESSFUL AND MAKE MILLIONS! MEANWHILE BANDAI BAD!
>NOOOOOOO DON'T SELL CHINKPLARetard. Bandai lost. Accept it.
>NOOOOOO DON'T BUY BANDAIRetard. Bandai won so hard. Accept it.
I hate pbandai
Smp Balteus Will save gunpla
>>23932420NTA but the gundam base popup is in Vancouver, the opposite side of Canada for me, and they only ship pbandai to the US for some insane reason. It's like they dont want my money. I've considered using one of those mail forwarding services or bugging a usfren to order it for me but it just seems like a hassle.
Saw some cheap 144 tanks that might be good for practicing weathering or diorama. How close is a real life tank size compared to a tank in UC?
>>23932245I love painting yellow, it's easily the most fun color to paint. Also a wasp stung me while I was priming, very annoying.
>>23932245groupbuild progress, getting close to done. going to make a small display stand/diorama to mount her on too
>>23932529I dont remember stella being this dummy thicc
So there's another upscale RG Hi-Nu kits but it gives different heads and chest. Also what GK design?
>>23932556
>>23932557
>>23932559
>>23932381Anyone have the image of the Star Wars Imperial Cruiser where the anon sprayed something on it and it made the plastic look like a infected ship? Im sure someone has it. First thing that came to mind
>>23932557they rook the same
>>23932478>why there are no competitors to chang then?Because they are supported financially by their own government AND don't need to deal with all regulations and additional costs local distributors have, you fucking mouth breathing retard. Chinese cars are good example because they literally were founded by government and sold below their value in order to gain market.And instead of using your fucking brain for a second, you instead prise your Chinese gods and suck their dick for selling you shit for reduced price, without even asking why or how.
>>23932559The GK head is bigger than the RG >>23932560 one
Can these bootleg shills finally start their own threads?
>>23932499UC tanks are pretty much similar in size (within universe) to IRL tanks. However, for practicing weathering and such, I would suggest 1/72 tanks instead.
>>23932419It is okay. Pretty solid overall.
>>23932276Orangecat kits are pretty simple. I would say it is more like Full Mechanics.
Backlog status?!
>>23932590>1306 parts. >Full MechanicsBe serious.
>>23932276chang kits can look really good when they have a liscence that forces them to reign in their typical horror vacui approach to mecha design
i don't like going at Gundam Base anymore because i keep getting spammed posts of this by influencers.
>>23932592Only two kits in the backlog right now. I want to buy a few more, but I will do so in November
>>23932415Its WORTH IT
you cannot suffer in japan
>>23932592Over half of the parts are for the guns.
>>23932606is there still a rice shortage
>>23932610well maybe they should try to eat some plamo
>>23932610Japs need fish most of the time.
>>23932606best shop for ordering some built kits? I'm trying surugaya and I can't seem to find the right keywords.
>>23932616it's either Surugay or Book-off
>>23932606Honestly buying some cheap pre built kits to paint sounds fun. How do they even end up for sale? Are most Japanese people just snapping?
>>23932415The anglo mind CANNOT comprehend undergating for some reason.
>>23932479This but unironically
>>23932668Does it matter when those things are always supposed to be painted?
>>23932679So is gunpla. Gw sprue layout is just fucking inefficient as it is wasteful.
>>23932668GW is special case. Everyone else figured out how to do good quality molds and sprues but not them. They also try to squeeze as much of parts as possible into single sprue, which result in those weirdly placed parts. But they don't really have to since their clients will buy everything anyway.
>>23932681>>23932415They're overpriced but they are good sculpts. Yeah sure you have cleanup to do with big nubs but it's not a big deal. They do have some very, very nice sculpts they just cost an absurd amount for a game that expects you to army build.
>>23932415Looks like a dread? Should be 60 bucks max (still too expensive).
>>23932683The weird part with GW is how they price kits on how much points they are worth in game rather than how much plastic they use. So you can have Commander Farsight aka alien Char (single model) costing more than squad of SM Terminators (5 models) which cost only slightly more than squad of Intercessors (10 models).But yeah, their newest sculpts are noticeably better quality than old ones, at least in terms of mold lines.
>>23932692ehhh they do often line up to points and costs but the real rub is just that characters get retardo markupFarsight is a lot better than some of the various named infantry characters where you pay 40 to 60 bucks for a dozen pieces at most
>>23932692>they price kits on how much points they are worth in game rather than how much plastic they useWhich is fucking stupid, because all it does is cause your plastic to be more expensive per unit weight than precious fucking metals. There's no good reason for anybody to do this, it doesn't help make the game more "fair," it just gatekeeps your game and pisses people off. And it's one of the biggest drivers for people buying 3D printers and just printing their own damn game pieces.
>>23932697it doesn't really matter, Games Workshop has been making a lot of money since Covid despite their prices ballooning into the stratosphereThat said everyone knows the prices are high and there are lots of ways to get deals on Warhammer shit, especially for the core of an army, if you wait for Battleforce boxes and stuff like that before even getting to the resell marketSo glad I mostly played back in 7th when prices were comparatively sane
>>23932562That was me. This is what happens when you put Mr. Color spray can on top of Tamiya spray cans. They interact in a fucked up way.
>>23932706speaking of 40k that's an insanely cool effect for Chaos
>>23932706Woah I gotta find something to do this with
>>23932706This looks like my nuts
>>23932573This is the plastic model thread, not the bandai/gundam thread. If you don't like it you can go make your own gundam general.
>>23932728It's incredibly rare that anyone actually posts progress on one of these chinese models. The people shilling them do not build them. They don't build anything.
so anyway, I went to the Gundam Base pop up store in flipland, and it was disappointing shit, more so even compared to the Gundam Base pop up in London. at least in London you get a lot of Gundam Base exclusives like the MG Zaku Cannon (Zeta ver) MG GM Sniper custom (Zeta ver), MG Catapult base. the GBase here in flipland only have pretty much HG clear color variants, and the only thing of note was the MG ReGZ GBase Fukouka and there were only 3 of them, so it was gone in the 1st day. everything else was just taken from the warehouse of the only allowed distributor of gundam in flipland. so the only difference of the GBase and other stores is that the GBase carries clear color kits.I guess in the end, its ok, since there's alot of Gelgoog and no one is buying it
>>23932733Do they have the mp version?
>>23932737I'm not him but that one hasn't ever gotten a reprint. It'd be insane if it was there.
Also, there's an unhealthy amount of V-Dash Gundam there.>>23932737No
>>23932737>>23932743uh correction, technically there is. but it is the MG Gelgoog 1.0 Johnny Ridden/Cannon
>>23932733>>23932743Wow you flips got done dirty. Meanwhile vancouver actually had GB base exclusives and ecopla
>>23932759also quackdam, which I ended up buying a kit of later in a nearby weebstore.
>>23932733Isn't it utterly fucked to be a gunpla builder in Flipland, where Bandai kits are mostly expensive compared to third-party stuff, and if you wanna join a GBWC competition, you gotta show that you have an authentic Bandai kit, alongside a receipt from an approved gunpla distributor in order to participate?
>>23932768It almost seems like they don't want Filipinos to participate in GBWC
>>23932770Why should they let people enter bootlegs of their products in their competitions?
>>23932773Wasn't the incident that started the Flip gatekeeping caused by one guy winning the Philippine GBWC, and then he either confessed, or Bamco ninjas exposed that he used a third-party kit?
>>23932768>>23932770>>23932773actually, it was kinda low-key allowed back then. before 2015, Bandai didnt check if it was bootleg or not. until a fliptard bragged to Meijin (Kawaguchi) on facebook that he bought a bootleg 1/144 Kshatriya only for quarter of the price and got into 3rd place in the GBWC. Kawaguchi expressed his disappointment, and basically just said, "please don't call it gunpla", ever since then, flipland needs a receipt from Toy Kingdom for GBWC entries (later changed to Bankee sticker since Bankee became the official sole distributor of gunpla in flipland)it actually amazes me, that the flips has audacity to insult Meijin like that
>>23932779Meijin is partly to blame for allowing troons into the hobby because of his Gunpla is Freedom bullshit from BFso yeah I'm thinking dumping in his mouth is lowkey deserved
>>23932784Imagine being salty about saying that you can kitbash or customize however you like.
>>23932788It led to people enjoying the hobby wrong.
>>23932492>and they only ship pbandai to the US for some insane reason. It's like they dont want my money.These stores stay region-locked not only because they hate foreigners or some other shallow reasons. They also stay region-locked because of import policies and customs between countries are different.I run a business in the US and I got just hit with this. Because I made one sales thats not even $200! to that province in canada I have to sacrifice time, money, and sanity to register for the tax collection system, collect their vat from customers, pay it to them, and then file quarter sales tax reports every 3 months until the end of time.This isn't a one off thing, EVERY province in Canada has a system like this with basically an almost near zero threshold on the orders that can pass through before, so that's 40 different sales tax reports to a foreign country that need to be filed every year.Now we can argue that bandai has the resources to handle this. But this just eats away at the operational bandwith and introduces extra risk with several extra foreign governent bodies hanging over them like a sword of Damocles.https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/taxes/sales-taxes/pst/register"If any of the following apply to you, you may also be required to register:You're located outside B.C. and you make sales to B.C. customers"Premium Bandai kits will become even hard to obtain as mail forwarding services may make the decision to stop taking certain orders to ship to you to avoid this headache.FACT, you are not safe!FACT, non of us safe!
>>23932793I'm sure Bandai, a company that already sells thousands of products in Canada including gunpla, can work out how to sell premium gunpla in Canada.>nyooo i have to do taxes and duties to a foriegn country I'm selling good to nyooo!Honestly skill issue. I sell to Europe and the US regularly and don't have any issues.
>>23932792it is kinda funny that occasionally I'll come across a pretty innocuous youtube short about panel lining or painting in details or some shit but there'll almost always be a defensive comment from someone saying gunpla is freedom and it's their right to leave their kits straight out of box.
I think im done organising my box fort.
>>23932742>>23932749Man I hope they reprint that soon. The only one missing in my goog collection.
>>23932809Does it even have any unique parts? You could just paint the char version green.
>>23932812The gun and the pilot are unique. I also just learned that the 1.0 and 2.0 have a different design for the skirt armor.
>>23932804You misunderstand me, this isn't a matter of wanting to cheat out of import fees being paid entirely. Import fees and duties were paid by the customer when the items reached the border.The global trend is for US to have to register formally with each country and apparently provinces within the country to collect the fees, remit them to each country/province, and file sales tax reports every three months even if no sales took place in a region.How long can you hold out against the mental attrition of having to take care of that paperwork every 3 months for every single country that you sell to, because that is the direction things are headed worldwide.
>>23932815>The global trend is for US to have to register formally with each country and apparently provinces within the country to collect the fees, remit them to each country/province, and file sales tax reports every three months even if no sales took place in a region.Damn I wonder why the US specifically has trade barriers and red tape put up against them relatively recently by the civilized world at large haha.
>>23932819this would still be a thing in the other direction for the last couple of decades. wouldn't a canadian retailer shipping goods to the US have to register and deal with 50 different tax systems, one for each of the 50 US states?
>one of the few places that stocked mr.color locally was a small online-only shop and it just fucking vanished. fuuuuuuuucckkk
>>23932825No I only recently started having issues with the US, largely why I shifted my focus on domestic sales and Europe. US was about 70% of my sales but since I stopped advertising there and raised my prices to Americans to pay for the new US fees it's only about 30% now.
>>23932807People get weirdly defensive about whatever thing they put the bare minimum amount of effort into. They see someone doing more than them and interpret it as a personal insult.
>>23932807Gunpla is freedom! I can choose to leave the kit in the box!
I likes ya
>>23932245I think I will skip decals for this one (mostly out of impatience)
>>23932779i could probably take meijin in a fight so i'm not scared of disrespecting himzak on the other hand...
wow, its just one gundam kit in all of july
>>23932878>1/144 OC donut steel goufThat's miserable.
>>23932250The MG-F91 is a fantastic build.
How do I prevent Mr Mark Softer and Setter from destroying my acrylic paint?Yes, it is top coated (in acrylic).
>>23932874I've never even considered painting a narrative gold.
>>23932819The all caps US in my reply to specify shippers like the person i'm replying to, myself, and anyone else who sends products internationally. Not the USA.This is not an America vs Europe thing or the world against America thing. This is an observable trend of tightening regulation on importing on a global scale against everyone.Across the world more and more countries are adopting policies that are either straight copies of what the UK did or policies that will eventually lead to the policy changes in 2021 that caused smaller businesses to completely abandon the UK Market.
i've only built EG and SD gundams. how difficult would this be for me?
>>23932921I'm kitbashing it with the MG Phenex. Would not recommend this if poorfagging. I could have bought a pg and paint/decals for it
>>23932932Honestly? Not that hard. You're gonna have to paint, though. As long as you have basic modeling skills this will be around level 5 compared to Bandai's level 1(EGa and SDs) kits.
Why didn't any of you enormous faggots tell me we were getting GaoRanger Concept art Power Animals?
>>23932779>until a fliptard bragged to Meijin (Kawaguchi) on facebook that he bought a bootleg 1/144 Kshatriya only for quarter of the price and got into 3rd place in the GBWC.LMAO that's pretty fuckin funny though, how embarrassing for Bandai.
>>23932245Added a ton of height in the waist/torso and trimmed down one of the shoulders a bit, still puzzling out the back shoulder piece and total shoulder mechanics
>>23932941Anon please fill in the gaps on the underside of the arms.
>>23932942anon that's the furthest thing from what matters at this stage the arms are getting entirely new joints and I'm probably going to futz about with integrating some of the G Gen shields with the novel ones
any ideas on colour schemes and distributions for the Gespenst I just bought? Kai's is green and all the others are blue, so would purple work?
>>23932835Gunpla is freedom. I choose to not even purchase the kits I want.
I know my backlog is big enough to last several years if I procrastinate on building each one but I miss having free space
is the MG Gundam The Origin gonna get a reprint soon?
>>23932901I use Vallejo Mecha Color Matte Varnish and never have this problem. You might need to switch to a different topcoat.
>>23932955Maybe
>>23932953Gunpla is freedom, hence why I use SEED kits as target practice for painting and bashing.
>>23932901Are you letting your acrylic coats fully cure beforehand?
>>23932957I'm using Army Painter's varnish. It kinda sucks but hey I gotta finish the bottle.>>23932963Left it for about 24h so it should easily be enough.
>>23932955They already did 2 months ago.
>>23932901Setter shouldn't damage paint. Softer is demon liquid which will destroy any acrylic based paint.
>>23932788Gunpla is Freedom walked, so Shitpla could run!
>Sounds like a lot of POOPLA
>>23932988
Not this shit again
>>23932759we finally got the Double Fin Funnel Nu, but they had a funny idea to sell it for 175% of the mall SRP so it's more expensive than a fucking MG Full Armor Unicorn Gundam! at this point, they're just drip feeding the exclusive shit to maintain foot traffic.
>>23932878>Plamo dinosaurs sold well that it's getting variants toothis could had been the next MG, but alas.
>>23933006People other than you exist and sometimes they even buy things you don't like.
>>23933008NTA, but seeing the situation at Japan right now, nips would eat up all the new MG releases that you'll never see them on bargain bins unlike these new plamo they're shitting recently.
I also went to the GSC pop up shop. there's plamax alongside the moderoid but sadly no Dragonar. was tempted to by the Acks Ingram but it is in a weird 1/43 scale
>>23932988I haven't see any unko souls shit in a long time, guess bandai quietly swept that under the rug, huh?
>>23932245working on a mak kit and a hg weissritter
>>23933013i'm very tempted by that Konig Monster, but my budget is kinda tight right now
>>23932952alright, purple gloss Mr color it is
>the mg char’s Zaku II is the same price as the pbandai mg zaku high mobility.Its so fucking over.
>>23932245Snapbuilt this ez8 a few years ago and decided to paint it as a day project. Tomorrow I do decals.
Where were you when Bandai said they're remaking the original HG Lancelot? Old kit came out in 2005 for all I remember.
>>23933131No one cares about Code Geass. Atleast the girls look hot.
>>23933132Then what about the Knightmare Frames from Akito's group, the Alexanders? Despite the name, they actually look... feminine, boob-like chest and all.
>>23933131That's nice and all, but when will they reprint the Akito suits?
>>23933024I have fallen down the MaKhole and spent hundreds of dollars on random kits and conversion kits recently
>>23933137I wish... All of them need a re-release. And even make Yukiya's unit.On top of that, make all of the recolor upgrades (Akito's Liberte, Ashley's Red Ogre, and everyone else's Valiants, with alternate head and weapon options in a manner similar to the Scopedog). I suddenly got the urge to like the Alexanders because feminine design.
1/144 French Knight from iron Saga
>>23932361Hang in there man. Do your best to build, keep your spirit alive, get plenty of rest, and you'll see greener days I promise.>>23933109Looking good so far!
>>23932874Stopping point until tomorrow
>>23933185
Never bought chinkpla before where do you go for it? I want a PGU gramps but the official one is a bit rich for me price wise
>>23933188AliExpress, eBay and sometimes your local friendly online Gunpla store. Wich ever one of those has the best price on the kit you want.
>>23932706Nice. Have you done anything else to it? A wash of some dark green and black would probably look pretty cool to really sell the infected look. Or you might create mustard gas who knows
>>23933188Ali is good, avoid Temu
>>23932245Man the Xi sure has a big head with a ton of parts.
>>23933195Props for cutting the safety flags of the V-fin, anon!
>>23933203It actually had some very small ones since it was almost thick enough. I just sanded them away.
>>23933131>>23933148Is it P-Bandai again or will it get a retail release?
>>23933185>>23933187Cool copper Phenix. I would guess Mr color red gold gx? Also I hope you painted the psychoframe with fluorescent blue
>>23933240Look at the shape of the knees and ankle armor again, that's a Narrative.
>>23933238P-Bandai, 100%. Code Geass is niche in Bandai's eyes at this point, so there's no more reason for their kits to be retail.
>>23933246Yeah no shit it's narrative but the color scheme is clearly phenex
>>23933254No, it's not a *Phoenix (corrected your misspelling tard), it's a Narrative. Changing its color doesn't give it a transforming mechanic nor does it change the shape of the kit. Get some eyes you snapshitting tourist. My bad man, honestly I thought you were talking about the kit not the paintjob.
>canceling my preoder and then reordering it to use the free shipping couponWhy am I so poor
>>23933188Did a little bit of poking around aliexpress. Never ordered before so decided to test with the gold coating hyaku shiki and gm spartan. Want to see how shipping and quality is before buying the PGU, even at 1/3rd the price its still a lot. They are very cheap, much cheaper than scalped real ones. Seem to include stands too.
>>23933256it's called a fennec actually in reference to the fennec fox because it's yellow
>>23933265I've ordered quite a few kits off of aliexpress. I think I've bought like....5 legit bandai kits in the past year but like 40 Aliexpress kits.I've got the 1/35 RX, Daban PGU, both Fatcats, 1/100 hygogg upscale, 1/100 Shokew, Casval's HG (recolored G30th I think), clear RG 2.0 RX, HIRM WZC, the new Zerius, the Hi Nu vrabe amazing that was never made a kit, Doan Cucuruz Island's Zaku 1 (doan's) as well as that RX.Tons of random stuff. It's badass. Nice little builds, decent build quality, minor fit issues solved by angle cutting pegs or sanding them or cutting peg slots down their length. I do some light rescribe, sometimes sharpen edges, paint details, sometimes repaint colors to versions i like better, just lots of very cheap fun casual builds.>>23933269Damn you work at sunrise?
>>23933256the copper-colored Phenex is the GFT version. they made it yellow gold in Narrative.
>the HGAC Sandrock Custom EW is as expensive as the MG Sandrock EWjesus christ!
>>23933273I appreciate the input. I'm mostly interested in getting large kits for cheap (like the PGUs) and pbandai kits that are unavailable to me at reasonable prices. I have a standard real hyaku to compare it to. Not excited for the shipping time but oh well. Cant have good cheap and fast.
And I thought our anti-Bandai schizo was deranged.
>>23933318I keep a stream of them coming in and its pretty great. I've had a problem with exactly 1 order wherein they were out of the product but marked it as shipped with a shipping number and all. After so many days passed (it said a date upon which I could just get a refund on the shipping tracking page built in) it just gave me a refund when requested. I promptly bought the same kit from another seller, slightly cheaper too lol. I've got the new Metal build God on order now.
also, to fuck with fliptards more, same kit, 2 prices at the same Gundam Base in fliplandeven gunpla scalpers in shopee and GH have more integrity
>>23933345that's like a difference of $1.50 USD, sounds more like lazy staff not updating stock labels rather than bandai intentionally gaslighting flips over, I dunno, the cost of a sandwich.
>>23933377thats like 1/3 of national minimum wage in /flipland
>>23932524Collar shading came out pretty good
BALL GUNDAM!
>>23933240Thanks. It's a 2:1 mix of Tamiya Gold Leaf and Tamiya Metallic Gold. Psychoframe is a Studio G Metallic Blue.No flourescents on the psychoframe. I thought it was going to be busy enough without it.
>>23932361I get that. I've been working pretty consistent overtime lately and it's been seriously affecting my hobbies.>>23933175Thank you.
>>23932245mk44 walker progress
>>23932828on this note, how is mr.aqueous compared to the normal mr.color lacquers? aqueous is all I can seem to find from local retailers. even the mr hobby eu store doesn't have any of the normal lacquers outside a few gundam colors they mostly just have acrysion, I'm guessing due to local regs or whatever.
>>23933442Aqueous is less pigment dense and dries a lot slower.
>>23932556gk generally means garagekit
I just impulsively bought RG Quanta (red bandai logo with dented box) for $22
>>23933441Hygogg - ver Ohtagaki
>>23932529why does this turn me on?
Does anyone actually like aftermarket photo etched parts on their gunpla? I feel like they never look good if the kits aren’t designed around them.
>>23933488I dislike photo etched in general even if it's from bandai.
>>23933478>red bandai logoThis was an absolutely unnecessary bit of information
>>23933502he's actually missing another important information. Red Logo RG boxes have black inside boxes with pictures of different grades of the featured mobile suit. printed on it.
>>23933485Because all of the Franxx robo girls are sexually arousing
>>23933502It means the mold is less worn at the time of production actually
>>23933510I wish this show was a robot fucker show instead with Strelitzia as the actual love interest.
>>23933514Bandai uses steel mold so it is not as bad as you think it is. The reprint of Hardygun still look pretty good even though the mold is 30 years old.
>>23933518I've definitely gotten some kits that are not aging great anymore. Look at the heat pipe runner on a new production zaku 2.0.
I'm about to wash my gunpla parts.is it safe to let polycaps underwater with soap?
>>23933523Yeah
>>23933523Why the fuck are you washing polycaps
>>23933520Yeah stuff like zaku pipes and innerframe usually have worse mold material since no one actually cares what they look like. The current innerframe of Unicorn ver Ka and Ex S looks pretty dogwater too.
>>23933531cuz it's annoying to disassemble it from the non polycaps parts
>>23933532They look fine. They just have some pretty nasty flashing covering some of the inner plastic part.
>>23932932This is pretty much GK level, total different kind of kit compare to gunpla.
>>23933537I don't mind flashes but they have obvious defects on the surface, alot of bumps.
>>23933520>Look at the heat pipe runner on a new production zaku 2.0.Do you have pics?
>>23933485Because it makes you think of Tauburn.
>>23933543
>>23933545Same designer, Shigeto Koyama.
>>23933546my favourite sprue layout is the one thin long piece that has more than 5 gates on it
>>23933545I couldn't give less shit about Tauburn. Goofy musketeer with a dick joke.
>>23933543I wish I'd taken pics of the flashing. I didn't think it was too important at the time.Here's the unfinished zaku though, as some sort of proof I'm not bullshitting.
>>23933554Armor runner has better mold than the unimportant details. Look at HG Marasai's joint runner here, big boy flash.
>>23933558And bubbles
>>23933558CLIP YOUR NAILS ANON
>>23933560I need them for when my butthole itches.
>>23933562Same
>>23933562I can help with that~
>>23933558I really wish I took a photo because the flashing was so bad. It was almost completely connecting a few of the segments.
>>23933554I'm not calling you a liar, I just want to see the flashing. My second kit years ago was Char's Zaku. I have several additional Zakus pending in the backlog and I don't know if they are within the time frame of when the parts quality would be dwindling.>>23933546I'm asking for a picture of the flashing specifically. >>23933559I se it on the finger here.
Buy a recast resin kit if you really wanna bitch about flash, this shit is nothing
>>23933571We are now at the point where the bandai defense force is defending flash on bandai's kits lmao.
>>23933558>complain about flash that does NOT appear on the part itselfwow gunpla builders really are sissies!
>>23933568I can tell you the one I saw this issue with was produced in february of 2025 because I still have the bazooka runner unbuilt. It was very easy to clean the flashing up with a knife. I wouldn't worry about it. Every other runner was still flawless.
>>23933572>please hate bandai. please. PLEASE hate them. Please love China we make your robots you like for cheap yes?
>>23933572>>23933571We are just discussing mold wear. Nobody is bitching or whining other than you.
>>23933576Notice how the bandai employee thinks I'm shilling for china and not because bandai just produces dinopla now.
>>23933571Huh? What? Who is bitching? We are talking about how plastic mold degrade over time, it is normal.
>>23933577>>23933579>LOOK HOW BAD THIS FLASH IS>barely anyit's all just nonsense, have fun with the bandai rager
>>23933574Who said anything about flash on the part? I'm talking about degradation of old molds in current year.
>>23933459that's annoying but not the end of the world, I'll try a few out
>>23933581>Discussing dementia is disrespectful to the elderly
>>23933581But nodody is bitching about it. We're just talking about some flashing appearing on older molds that have been used a ton.
>>23933584>>23933585calling that Marasai "big boy flash" is just something someone who has never seen shit would sayjust stop being little fags I don't know why it's so hard
>>23933585bandai employees have never heard of The Streisand effect.
>>23933589You are still the only one bitching.
>>23933589The fuck are you on about, bud? The runners looks worse than how it was in 2005 due to degradation, no one was saying anything about bad about Bandai.
my favourite probably is the runner of MG Warrior Zaku's pipes. the gates are placed on the same line as the decorative rivets so either you erase them or waste hours sanding the seams and gates carefully while avoiding them. i swear someone evil is working at bandai for even coming up with that!
RG Zeong's hands are a work of art too!
>>23933591just because you have a narrow definition of bitching doesn't make that true>>23933597>the fuck are you on about?I'm saying none of that shit was worth mentioning let alone calling it a huge amount of flash god damn why is this entire general filled with mental 12 year olds
>>23933619>I'm saying none of that shit was worth mentioningExcept it is worth mentioning. The reprints will look worse over time and anyone who are fans of those old kits should get one if they have a chance. This is an extremely pro-Bandai conversation yet you sperged out like a retard. Get some help.
>>23933624>the reprints will look worse over timeno shitthey also make replacement molds for the most worn down ones and yet again none of this posted as an impressive amount of flashoh nooo I need to trim paperthin plastic off a part woe is me I better buy a heckin reprint before rotational velocidensity destroys my gunpla and the polycaps disintegrate
>>23933628You are still the only one bitching.
>>23933624> yet you sperged out like a retardHe needs to earn that nickel.
>>23933631and you're the one making little quippy passive aggressive posts like this instead of just not moving onkeep going bro
>>23933633You could also just stop whining about people having conversations that aren't about whatever exciting bootleg you saw on reddit this week
>>23933640I knew you were stupid the way you kept replying already but god damn you are one dumb motherfucker
>>23933642You are still bitching. You can just stop. You can let people discuss things that you don't want to talk about. Not everything is about you.
>>23933647mr pot? I'd like you to meet mr kettle
>>23933649>You should let me shit everything up otherwise you're as bad as I am>But I'm not bad. You are. Because you're like me.
>>23933650sorry you can't handle me calling you a child for talkin about .1nm worth of flash but you're the one that dropped anything resembling a discussion in favour of all this pointless seething
>>23933651You are still bitching about the exact bitching you are doing. You are the problem.
>The runners… are undergoing a psychoframe transformation!!
>>23933652And there you go again, I know it's hot as fuck out but keep yourself from melting down.
>>23933653I really wish this guy would die or something
>>23932245EZ8 is done. I know the chest decal is wrong. I had an 81 decal in the right size but it got fucked up. I don't have any gray decals for the correct numbers in the right size so it got another 08 decal there.
gqx kits are really nice, hope Yamashita design more suits in the future
>>23933554looks like hes in mini skirt and boots kek
so changpla bootlegs are all ABS right? if I cement them, it's gonna make shit fragile? do I use super glue instead?
>>23933685Yeah that was my intention. I just haven't gotten around to making the bow
>>23933688it will not stick, unless you use ABS cement
>>23933688>changpla bootlegs are all ABS right?no
>>23932706Yeah, both are using different chemicals. That is why you never mix these two together in anyway. You can mix majority of water based paint, even some stuff with mr color, but never with Tamiya.
>>23933655You are the only one melting down because several people talked about the injection molding defects lol. What's next? We are not allowed to talk about paint drying this time?
>>23932706SHRIKE INFECTION
Update on HG Marasai. The kit feels rock solid, i like it. Will give him alot of zimmerit after the smoke break. I'm trying recreate Kobayashi's Marler.
>>23933195Hathaway sure is a smooth criminal. Also digging the Xi's design more now that I'm building this. They really haven't shown it that much in the movies. Also I'm kinda annoyed at some of the movie 2 version. It didn't come with parts to my build the originals and the new ones together. I kinda get the shield part, but for the waist armor and it adding the mount mount I have no idea why it isn't available for the left side. Same with the new Gundam head, that would have been very cool to swap easily, and they had new runners of the right colors (besides the antenna I suppose).I do like how the new head has color seperated eyes, but the rest of this kit is pretty sticker heavy for its size, and again the had parts of the right colors for most of them (I'm primarily talking about all the orange). Seems weirdly phoned in for a protagonist suit, although I guess it was a 2021 model. I'm also really enjoying the hands and how big they are. The new hands with the little Jegan sized fingers is a cool addition and detail to allow kit bashing. It's going to be weird seeing the weapon there without the hand closed, but that's probably how it would have to work in universe anyway just to make sure the primary hand doesn't cover anything important.
Sexy little man
>>23933713Xi's a very well made kit overall and definitely looks great in real life compared to lineart where the depth of it gets lost. Same is true of Penelope too but honestly its model isn't as good as Xi's at all.It's a big HG with a really complicated design on the particulars and I doubt they had particularly huge forecasts for sales for it. I mean, honestly, most people aren't that big on the HF machines. Even with the movie buff I don't think they were gonna put in more effort for just an HG just to get 100% colour accuracy.Personally my biggest gripe with it is that the underside of the chest flaps are hollow. I'm not a big fan of the wrists attaching at an angle into the arms either but that's how the design is for this iteration so oh well.
>>23933722The best seller from Hathaway is Messer. They get out of stock so fast.
>>23933675legit jealous I'm trying to get a few but they're all 40-50$ in my area
>>23933441added ship propellers
>>23933728I'm honestly not big on the Messer kit as it is right now. It's fine but everything they did with the torso is just a ton of work for nothing I give a shit about. It's fine, not awful or anything, but I definitely think it's on the finnickier side of things and not the best of current HGs. Gawman's looks really solid though, haven't gotten one yet unfortunately.I think the new Gustav Karl kit is really good on the note of HF stuff, it's sturdy as can be and looks great. Shame it didn't come with a ReZEL rifle but the bazooka is nice.
>>239322453 kits at the same time - code geass and chinkongingo.
Which is the worse and most useless gimmick?Fully plated kits, clear kits, or transforming kits
>>23933752I have at least 6 kits that ive never transformed even though they have the gimmick, so thats my vote
>>23933752Tough choose between plated or transforming. Like the other guy said, I never transform them. However, plated kits typically aren't undergated properly so you have these awful nub marks all over.
>>23933752I can respect a good transforming gimmick especially in MG scale but I would still probably do without them for dedicated kits of either mode most of the time. Fully plated kits are the worst though, fuck them. Crazy price and most aren't designed for it so it's a total rip, and if you want to paint it it's an extra little step to get rid of the coating you paid a 50% markup for.
>>23933752I think plated ones are by far the worst, mostly because a majority of plated kits aren't really gated for it. And even if they are, undergating and such still requires proper cleaning to not cause fitting issues. It's just a really annoying deal all around.Clear kits are kinda barf outside of mechanical clear. But, like anons have said before, if you're a paintfag they're an easy way to get kits that aren't printed as much normally, and I've seen some striking customs with clear parts mixed in.I actually like transforming suits, especially as platforms for other suits, and outside of the victories I'd say of them hold together pretty well in MS mode with minimal joint tightening if you don't want to bother.
>>23932245Almost done mg marasi with the resin conversion kit from galaxy hobby shop. Have to do an oil wash on the main body Then I'll finish the rifle that the resin kit comes with. Never getting a galaxy hobby shop resin kit again. The resin was incredibly thin on the shin/calf area. I could bend it by lightly squeezing different ends of the piece. I had painted all the pieces and was going to for the final assembly. When I attempted to snap the kit into place my thumb went through the armor. Tried another piece on another leg other as gently as I could and the piece still managed to break in another area. I've done multiple resin kits before and this has never happened, even with a lower quality recast. At that point, I went just went fuck it and got out my scribers and scribed the details on the resin kit on the original kits pieces.
Finally getting started on the Rg Sazabi, people really weren't kidding on how nice it is. Felt like starting with the shield
>>23933404finished all the airbrush painting, just gotta touch up a few places and wait for decals to arrive nowapologies for the godawful lighting, I should really get a proper setup sometime
Any recommendations for translucent pearl paints?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tCmayvDkiU>chinkGODS made an hg revive exia before bandaihow are chinkgods mogging bandai so hard lately?
>>23933877Mogging on a '07-08 HG kit is not the brag you think it is.
>>23933857Kou is in the titans now?
>>23933857If you get a strong flashlight and point it at the ceiling you can get better photos
>>23933910Thats the gpo4, the thing cima was piloting when kou penetrated her with the dendrobium's cannon. Kou never piloted it.
Would you believe me if I said I bought her for the weapons
>>23933931that bazonga and thighs are indeed weapons so I believe you.
>>23933931I want to be smothered between her weapons
Tempted to grab one of the MG Kampfers I saw up at Hobby Lobby...
>>23933966It's a fun kit. You should get one.
Green Messer is coolhttps://x.com/yukimaru0131/status/2073753132262478156?s=20
>>23933992i'm a big fan of zak's green messer F01, both variants look way better in green
>>23933998Yeah I like those specific shades more. I don't mind the red and tan particularly but Messers wear blues and greens extremely well.
>>23933931Prove it. List her for sale without the weapons and post the link. Otherwise I wont believe you.
>>23933857Is this bandai's gerbera or the bootleg one?
Paint done on the GM sniper II. This was the second master grade kit I ever built. Glad to be able to put some paint on it. Decided to mute the colors a bit and do them all flat.Overall, I am trying to do all my old kits in more simple styles without very obvious preshading or effects. It's making the projects only take around 10 hours each. That includes tightening all the joints and fixing my really shoddy old work. The paint is mostly just to cover work marks and filler.This one was shockingly solid still, despite it being so old. Gonna panel line it tomorrow and buy some decals for it since it looks weird without them.
>>23933187Man now that this is done all that's left is the armed armors and shield
>>23934056Where do the phenix parts come in?
>>23934059Mostly the backpack. I wanted to fill out the arms as well, but it looked kinda off
>>23934060I think if you intend to fill out the arms, parts from nu gundam are your best bet.Pretty cool to see someone else painting the psychoframe blue on one. I bought the B packs version just for the clear psychoframe it came with.
>>23934056Still not sure I love the underlying design of the NT but the bronze tones look super nice on it.
Looking for a kitbash I had saved some years ago, see if anyone has it or has seen it. It was Gquuuuuux but Nu Gundam, with the fin funnels on the back connected the G-Self perfect backpack ring like thingy, looking like a flower or something.Just can’t find it :/
>>23934114>Some years agoGQ hasn't been around that long, anon.
>>23934117No way. Its been a long while has it not?>1 yearYeah ._. Ok
>>23933752Clear kits by far. I can at least somewhat see the appeal of plated kits for stuff like Delta Gundam or the Akatsuki.As for transformations, it depends on what kind of transformation. If it's just Wing-style of Gundams just laying on its back, then it's worthless. If it's actual transformation or gattai gimmick like Moderoids and Miniplas, then it's essential.
Just about done with my entry for the groupbuild.
>>23934069Yeah if I ever do this one again I'll try bashing the Nu in as well
>>23934157I've considered trying to make an intermediate form between the narrative and nu but it would be such an expensive project. The perk is that I could make two prototypes out of them.
>>23934161Just do it in HG

Update on Marler Marasai. Building his shape putty-by-putty.
Why the fuck is the SMP Balteus so fucking expensive for the minimal details it has? Why is Hidetaka Miyazaki such a fucking JEW?
>>23933752fully plated<clear<transformationTransformation gimmicks, when done well, are a nice thing to have.You can do some shenanigans with clear kits like using them as after images for the actual kit, paint the insides metallic, shove some DIY internal stuff in them, etc.Fully plated/coated kits are a waste of time and money in most cases and either look like tacky bootleg shit you'd find in your local one-Dollar Asia-store or make you go "why did you even bother?!" like that one L-Gaim HG kit that had only the faintest pearl effect on the white parts.
what the hell why didnt any of you gaytards tell me about this
>>23933752Nothing beats SMP in terms of transformation
>Gundam Base Manila is just a glorified Toytown nowman the hype died down real quick! then bandai's going to think the store flopped because no one's buying there anymore
Did some more small detail painting on my Penelope, free handed a small for for the mono eye on the flight unit too, I'm really happy with how it's looking, I know it's not a popular MS but for me it was love at first sight
>>23934024why would I buy a bootleg
>>23934321Because FSS is lame.
Which of these do you like the most?
>>239344123.0=>oyw>2.0>perfect>>>>>>origin
>>23934370why would you buy a special coating Strike Freedom
>>23934412The Origin version has better motion range than the 3.0, but I don't really like how it looks, even if you swap out that back cannon for the second beam saber.
>>23934429The Origin's chest is just too elongated or something, it feels a little stretched or like its gotten old and its titty vents have started sagging bad. I like most elements of it but the way the whole torso and waist and head balance out with the legs feels wrongOYW has a properly chunky torso by comparison that looks cooler I think
>>23934426???
>>23934429>>23934430Origin also has the ugliest head by far
currently refining the upper body shape after closing seams
>>23934436>no pincershonestly why even have hands? gun arms would be cooler in my opinion especially with how those are mounted
>>23932276I hope they'll make one for the Arbalest too.
>>23934437ive tried dual lasers and i didnt exactly like the look of it. maybe if you really made pincer lasers but im probably not gonna attempt to scratchbuild that at the moment. my current intention is to give him a rocketlauncher and make it be a sort of anti-shipping unit.
>>23934412Ver Ka
>>23934412Which chest vents?
>>23934430I actually really like how the origin looks but as it's own thing, not as a good RX-78-2 representation. it's awkward, clunky and kinda dumpy looking but in a way I think is cool.
>Post about her one time in /gpg/ about titty streaming.>Next few streams she has covered up her tits with modest clothing.SHE DEFINITELY SHITPOSTS HERE. ALRIGHT YOU FAGS CONFESS.
>>23934500who
This was easier than I thought though the forearm attachment is just a makeshift basic hold right now, the bicep works great but I need to clean up my sanding a little.By the way turns out you can just put the Penelope/Odysseus's shoulder sockets in the new novel Penelope shoulder units, dimensions are the same for the inner socket piece within them. Means I don't need to do a shoulder joint replacement thankfully.>>23934356Looks cool anon, I like a lot of the recoloured areas. Not sure if I love the grey added for the various protrusions but it's neat. Great taste btw, Penelope can only be appreciated fully by the truly enlightened
>>23934412I hate the origins chest proportions
>>23934241I've also considered this but I adore the 1/100 scale.
>>23934457Absolutely
>>23934580We need a 2.0 kit
>>23934588Gundam ver.ka holds up fine actually.
>>23934500>gunpla streamer>doesn't even paintWhy even bother?
>>23934591I'm working on painting it right now. It looks good and the decals are promising but it's very limited pose-wise, the head can't even look up or down really. The upper torso is made up of two blue pieces tha are quite weak, the front snapped in half upon disassembly, nothing that cement can't fix though.
>>23934604Sounds like your gorilla hands are the big problem and not the kit.
HG 1/144 Space Colony
>>239344123.0 head on the Origin's body.3.0 shoulders on the Origin's body Better hands for both of them
>>23934161Yeah just doing this was the same cost as an average pg
>>23934412I like the 2.0
Most FSS kits are 1/100 but every now and then they'll randomly make a 1/72 kit and it pisses me off because it's always one that I want but it would look out of scale with all the others so now I have to start a 1/72 collection to justify buying them
>>23934261if you wetten your fingers with putty you can achieve a more flattebed surface (in case you didnt know)

>>23934814For me it's the other multiped tank design in the anime personally, I love this thing so much but it gets no love and especially no model.All of them are cool though, I'd like the 95 multiped tank too.Sorry for the image for ben stiller but I can't find a better one right now
>>23934818That thing is cool as fuck too, now that GiTS is back. I'm gonna buy a kit.
>>23934825That exosuit was fucking rad too. Even more rad seeing the Major take it on. Kinda felt like vengeance for the movie.
>>23934829I still nut to that scene of major using the anti tank rifle and making the pilot surrender.
>>23934809if you want kits in the style of the new show, Bandai are making Makoto and a Fuchi
>>23934844>september 26.well it looks nice.
>>23932245painting my own custom Gespenst
Thanks to some anons the other day I got the Sazabi ver ka. First time I've been a bit disappointed with Gundam Planet tho, box came a bit banged up and a shoulder part came broken. Hopefully super glue does its thing. I filled out a bandai part replacement but I feel like that'll take months.
>>23934981You might be able to email them about it and get some store credit or something
I don't give a fuck
>>23934829>>23934833On the off chance you're not already aware, that thing was basically a Landmate from Appleseed backported a century.
>>23934753I always use water over powder. Putty is not meant for smooth surface in most cases, you have to sand it afterwards.
>>23935048Yeah those designs are pretty neat, though of the various Appleseeds I've watched none of them really stayed with me or left a huge impression. Not bad but never grabbed me.
Panel line with white, red, or pink?
went to the gundam base pop up base and bought this, pretty cool
>>23935096extra crispy doga
>>23935096>This kills the Doga
>>>23935083I'd go red.
>>23934909Are those the actual 30MP models?
>>23935096can't go wrong with Dogas
>>23935144It doesn't really say it's a prototype, so I guess it's the final product?
>>23934909>>23935151this is a prepainted statue>>23934844this is the 30MP kithttps://hjweb.jp/article/2733717/
>>23935153oh yeah fuck, missed the "figure" line.
>>23935153still no chance they'll be in scale with each other, right
>>23935153>fuchikoka is half the price of motokoso basically there's no chance it's actually full-sized and full-featured

>>23935083Black
My 1:1 bookshelf kit is here. Fully prepainted and no nubs.
>>23935244snapenters have ruined what was a respectable hobby and profession
>>23935244you gonna snapshit that?
>>23934500man I really want the MG FAZZalso, why in the gundam mk II the vulcans ended up as an external headphone piece?
>>23935259He should at least give it a nice polyurethane topcoat.
>>23935283>why in the gundam mk II the vulcans ended up as an external headphone piece?It used up its head space for more computing power. Brain too big.
So I bought a pair of Godhands. I haven't had time to build today to test them out, but is it normal for these things to not fully open all the way when you release them? The spring doesn't seem strong enough to do it.
>>23935283why don't you buy one now? I doubt they will reprint it again next year. Which made me realise that if Bandai really wanted to, they could reprint every single kit in a single year and do it again next year.
>>23935340How "not fully open" are we talking about, mine don't go all the way to the stopper peg if I'm releasing them softly.What color is the spring?
Hammer Knight is here. And goddamn, i hope the primer will do it's job because this is some nasty looking red.
>>23934451he cute >>23935439nice, what paint scheme are you gonna go with?
>>23935497I'm looking for references on twitter but it will probably be in either black-red or dark green-grey if none of the builds sastify me.
New thread>>23935559>>23935559>>23935559
>>23935083Red or purple, depending on what the rest of the color scheme is
>>23935656Kill yourself drool.
