had a mental breakdown from working 6 days a week every week and then going home and doing more work so i went on stress leave, time to build some gunpla.Have you ever heard of someone coming back from stress leave?
>>23944204God bless capitalism
>>23944204what the fuck is stress leave
There's another third party company that making Acguy Thunderbolt kit. It case if you're wondering, there's a three separate companies that are making Acguy Thunderbolt kit. Why this thing so popular with the chink?
>>23944207Acute stress can negatively interact your mental and physical health, you can take sick leave to relieve stress. I can only assume you're either very young or an American.

I'm thinking of buying an O Gundam and something to kitbash it with. I'm currently undecided between an alex (yes I would make the armor usable), a mk 2 or a gm kai (to make it look similar to the gundam ver ka). Any thoughts or suggestions?
>>23944212I already preordered a pair from my reseller, but I'll probably get one of these so I could have more weapons.Really digging the aquatic stand though.
>>23944213I own and operate my business so taking 6 days off to paint my nails an get my butthole waxed means 6 days of no money
>>23943828Wew, I am glad that the Hi Nu armor pack was priced so high that I didn't even entertain the thought of buying that.
>>23944212is that color scheme oc or from somewhere in the manga
>>23944235all that revenue is yours, if i bust my ass to work i just get 50K cad a year
>>23944212Isn't it because they base their kits from the same thing? Last few months there were like eight different Barbatos Rex kits that were based on the same design.
>$400 for balteusAYIIIEEEEEEEEE my neetbux gone.
>>23944182And the Daughtress. And the Strike Dagger. And the Gundnode.
>>23944252Please buy chinkino instead of japslop
>>23944249If you really have a burnout you won't be building a lot of kits soon. It needs some time to get your head right again and if you are not carefull you just end up staying up late, waking up late and just shit posting 4chins all day.>Have you ever heard of someone coming back from stress leave?Yes I have, or they got another job. In any case, the sick pay benefits won't last forever, does Canadia have a 'I just can't/won't work' so you can leech of your fellow people who Do work and is that enough to live off?
>>23944252Bro you've been spamming this shit in every thread but there still hasn't been a single official listing outside of the JP store. Your random little local scalper doesnt count.
>>23944253>a bunch of literally whos that nobody cares about
>>23944261This is the first time I've posted about the Balteus price and it's already listed in pbandai singapore. May 2027 delivery date.

>>23944212>There's another third party company that making Acguy Thunderbolt kit. It case if you're wondering, there's a three separate companies that are making Acguy Thunderbolt kit. Why this thing so popular with the chink?Holy ESL, this is practically advertising from the company itself.

With the MG Ex-S selling so good I can see a ZetaPlus Ver Ka MG happening.
>>23944486>new Ver Ka>everBandai doesn't make MG's anymore.
>>23944486but why? you could have the hummingbird instead.
>>23944489Bandai apparently hates the Deep Striker and everything about it. Why do you think they would ever make the Hummingbird?
>>23944486Ver Ka seems to be reserved for protagonist tier suits and the ZetaPlus is not that. Although Katoki did design it and bandai loves to re-sell the same kit so retards rebuy it.
>>23944492because they are Bandai :), they give me my toys eventually.
>>23944486Katoki already designed the Zeta Plus to begin with so the MG is basically a Ver Ka
>>23944498You obviously don't understand what Ver Ka means
>>23944472Then I'm a gummy bear
aliexpress is selling a legit kit for less than my local stores do, even with shipping included. Customs pushes it up a tad but it's either this or taking a gamble on the kit in question even getting restocked here which is not guaranteed at all...
>>23944493>re-sell the same kit so retards rebuy it.If they did a Ver.Ka of the Zeta Plus C1/A1, I would be that retard that would preorder day one.
Nobell ver. Apsy when?
>>23944521I would rather have Xeku Zwei and Nero Ver Ka
Friendship ended with MSA120 Draig, F99 is my new best friend.

>>23944560V2 but sleek like a corvette or Ferrari.
>>23944556that's a nice head phallus.
>99% of MGs for the past several years and going forward will be Ver.KaGODtoki chads stay winning.
>>23944567katoki is the death of the mg line. How many MG releases now from him have been nothing but rehashes?
>>23944567The only new MG this year is Liberty Astray. The only new MG last year was Vidar.
>>23944561MG Ver Ka means Katoki himself is the producer and head supervisor of the prodiction. He designed MG Zgok too and no one calls that Ver Ka
>>23944567Isn't he like involved in most of the mg mechanical designs anyway?
>>23944569Barbatos Lupusbros...
>>23944574Only the older ones.
>>23944576Yeah, slipped my mind. Still not Ver Ka.
>>23944571I do though
>>23944577all of the mgs are old now.
>>23944571he was the supervisor and producer for the z plus MG
my gaming addiction is getting in the way of my plamo addiction. Which addiction should I go with /gpg/? I want to be happy.
>>23944589>I want to be happyNeither.
>>23944589Whatever that makes you happy, Anon. I've been gaming a lot this year and I try to finish at least 1 kit per month. It is now July and I have only finished two.
>>23944590please anon. we deserve to be happy.>>23944591fuck I'm in the same boat, I've snapped 3 kits this year and have stalled with my wip.
>>23944583He supervised KA Signature Zeta Plus. The MG kit was mostly done by Bandai Hobby staff, Katoki just drew the lineart for it.
>>23944596Katoki was bandai hobby staff at the time zeta plus was drawn out.
anyone know where i can buy these? they finally releasedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndL1iD7MoS4i want to scan them and upscale their size
>>23944583Katoki was busy with RX78 MG during that time so i doubt he was that good at multitask
>>23944599Gunpla but for women
>>23944599>anyone know where i can buy these?japan
>>23944601>>23944603guys come on
>>23944600there's a concept called "working on more than one thing at once." it's something adults with careers do.
>>23944609>it's something adults with careers do.You aimed for anon but you hit me instead.
>>23944609>working on more than one thing at onceI mean working on main project and drawing line arts for others is basically that. You can only go so far with multitask, even youtubers with a part time job struggle with it, let alone the million dollar project manager.
>>23944621Do you really think drawing is all there is to do for a mechanical designer supervisory role?He was still a supervisory consultant at the time and approved and rejected prototypes.
>>23944623The lineart only serve as the refence, Bandai don't obey it 1:1. Ver KA kits were completely directed and produced by Katoki, he could manipulate them from the engineering to the appearance. He even sculpted the details he wanted.
>>23944633he did this for the zeta plus too
wait are we getting a new MG or is just bullshit speculation as always?
>>23944634Where? He did draw the instruction for the staff but that's about it. Do you know that HG The O was supposed to have removable magazine but Bandai didn't give a fuck? Katoki as a consultan is just that unimportant.

Is the old MG still the only 1/100 Kampfer? Or did they do a 2.0 of it?Or did my dream come true and they released a kit of the Ecole version?
>>23944699Unironically too fucking big. 1/144 suits the ZS better.
SheiKINO Mainland is single-handedly carrying the chinkpla scene.
>>23944717There's not a newer one. Luckily, it aged pretty well.
>>23944717Nothing happened. The 2001 MG is still the best we have.>>23944724I think this company is probably the only one that still does the Kondo style giant skirt and shoulders.
>>23944724My brain doesn't even register them as chinkpla honestly
>>23944717Technically the Naoki custom version has a couple of minor new parts (hands IIRC?) that are applicable to the old one but nothing that matters.
>>23944724look, SheikBASEDland are pretty good but im getting tired of all the zeek adjacent designswhere the fuck are my notGMs, chinks? you want my money or not?

So what are the chances that those fags at bandai release the other gun-ez on pbandai as they're re-issuing the normal one.
>>23944717>Is the old MG still the only 1/100 Kampfer?There's also the Kampfer Schwer, but that's based off the old MG.
>>23944190A little more snapshitting. I love this design so much honestly. Best thing to come out of G-Quuuuuux for sure.
>>23944774It's pretty likely
>>23944767SHAMEFUR DISPRAY!
If I want to replicate the full League Militaire line up, how many Gun EZ and Gunblasters will I need?

>>23944830Guess it's not happening anytime soon. I'll just try and grab a V-Dash for now I guess, and maybe wait for Gunblaster reprints.
>>23944822More than you'd like to build
>>23944830>1000 dollars in gun-ezsThat's scary.

What are the most essential things to start painting?
>>23944844paint
>>23944844PaintBrushes (a wide, flat one for larger surfaces and one with a fine point for small details)Water cup, assuming you're using water-based acrylics (rinse your brush regularly as you paint)Palette (a simple plastic one is all you really need but a wet palette will be a huge upgrade)Paper towel or napkin to wipe off excess moisture from your brush (depending on what you use you might get small fibers in your brush this way, you can avoid this with a microfiber towel instead)
>>23944844Airbrushing or Handpainting?>>23944767>one piece statuesI always thought these were the quintessential shelf warmer
>>23944844>>23944854I forgot to mention that a dedicated retarder and thinner for your paint type of choice will be profoundly useful as well. Definitely grab those, either individually or as a single, combined bottle.
>>23944854When using brushes something you absolutely need is some good brush soap to clean them like Master's
>close a seamline>forgot to put the polycap in>no way to put it in without taking it aparti fucked up. how do i fix this? has anyone else done this before?
>>23944866take it apart. Redo it.
>>23944866You can shave down the connection pieces just enough so that it can squeeze in. If it's a static polycap you can glue it in place to make it extra secure.
>>23944877how?>>23944882it has to go on the inside and there's no way to put it in without taking it apart
>>23944887pry it open where you closed the seamtake a blade to itit ain't rocket surgery
>>23944866That's why you test fit and modify everything that gets sandwiched between the two parts before committing
>>23944887What's it for if there's not a single opening to squeeze it into?You should be posting photos or at least telling us what it is.
>>23944866dremel

Moved recently and want to get back into building, but I've got no idea how to handle my painting setup now. I'm a lacquerfag so I definitely don't want to do it indoors. In an apartment complex now and have a nice little patio area with an outlet so I could probably get a table and work there, but that's still outdoors and it's frequently rainy (not to mention humid) here. Would I be able to get a collapsible fan hood or something similar? So I can have ventilation and not get griefed by the wind blowing pollen and shit on my wet paint? Never had an outdoors setup so I'm not sure what needs to be taken into account.
we just don't have justice and freedom no more
>>23944889>>23944895i fixed it and was able to pry it with one of these. i reapplied liquid cement where the seam was to heat it up and reactivate it and it made prying it easier. there is a big gouge/gap in the center which i have to fill with putty or melted runners, idk which is better
>>23944859Thank you, brush soap is crucial.>>23944909Primer is what helps paint adhere to your models. Sometimes it is referred to as a base coat as well. The color of primer you choose can influence the colors you paint on top of it. Painting just white over a black primer will be painful, for example.A top coat/varnish protects the paint underneath it. There's different finishes depending on the look you want to go for. Matte is the most commonly used but there's really nothing stopping you from going with gloss or semi-gloss.
>>23944929You can probably find something to copy from the japs.

I dont have any example pics, but I've seen airplane modelers polka dot their planes with multiple bright colors during progress pics. Can someone explain the logic to me?
>>23944978It creates small value variations when you paint over them, like little shadows or bright spots.You can also put down a bunch of tiny dots of oil paint and then blend them together to simulate dust/grime/etc.
>>23944969Manlet fag, fag, (You) AKA the biggest fag.
>>23944990Does it replace the base coat or does it happen before or after it?
>>23944994It depends on the look you're going for. You could do it over your primer layer or on top of a couple coats of the color you want and then do another layer(s) of that color. You wouldn't replace priming either way.
>>23944994Pre-shading, so after primer, before the main color. You can find some gunpla builders doing something similar with CMYK colors
>>23944978It's called a dot filter, other anon explained it.
Can you put topcoat (or any paint) on TPE if you let it cure without flexing the rubber?
>>23945195paint will always flake and peel off in rubber. best way of dealing with it is to never play or move the rubber parts once it's painted.
>>23945195Some of the softer/more rubbery acrylics like the Revell ones that I wouldn't recommend otherwise surprisingly work.
>>23945207>never play or move the rubber parts once it's paintedhm, it's Lunamaria's titties, so...

How the FUCK do I wake up early? I can only paint early in the morning because of the insane heat but I'm physically unable to wake up before 12.I'm a fucking piece of shit and I should kill myself
>>23945279The trick is to not sleep all the way.
>>23945279I set multiple alarms for myself in 15 minute intervals.
>>23945279I had sleep issues in hs and uni when I was always within walking distance of all of my classes, since I just let myself keep sleeping until the last second and stayed up late. I fixed it when I started a new course that I actually had to drive for, so I was forced to wake up 1-2 hours before the classes actually started, and had to plan the time I went to sleep because of that. Don't try to go cold turkey on a new sleep schedule, that'll unironically make you feel pretty shit and sickly. Instead you should try to work your way backwards 15 minutes at a time. So tomorrow morning, try to wake up at 11:45 instead of 12:00, which should be a pretty easy jump (and try your best to go to sleep around 2-3am).If you still can't fix it, I would actually suggest talking to a doctor, since there's a real chance this is a medical issue. Disregard this advice if doctors are very expensive where you live.
How come redditors build like ten kits in a single month?>inb4 they just snapshitEven so, just cleaning the nubs, sanding, assembling and pannel lining takes me a fuckton of time. I must spend at least twelve hours snapshitting a single kit. Am I just slow?
>>2394529412 hours for something HG-sized sounds excessive, yeah. Might be they're just building smaller kits, or they're unemployed, or they just don't do much else in their free time.
>>23945279I have to set an alarm for early morning whenever I had to paint something since I don't like painting past noon. It takes getting used to but once you start painting it'll be fine. Your body will naturally cope with the new schedule.
>>23945294Before I retired and switched to working freelance, I used to get the snap build done in like 3 days. That includes c clip mods for joints, and basic glass file sanding. I did this by building gunpla for about 6 hrs a day (1 hr lunch, 1 hr actually working). I actually developed a way to keep building during zoom calls by angling my camera in such a way that I looked like I'm typing on my keyboard when I'm actually messing with my pla.I even tried sneaking away to paint, but people pointed out that I had a respirator shaped mark on my face and it gave the game away.But yeah, being contractually obligated to being available to answer an email or slack message within a minutes notice got me into building lots of pla while waiting out my shift was a real motivator. I actually started building a backlog like crazy now that I only work a week a month (for real actual 4 hr shifts), My dayjob almost noticed because the runner clippings would fall into my work laptop and it would jam up and I'd ask IT too take it away and clean it up everyfew months.
>>23945296>12 hours for something HG-sized sounds excessiveThe hobby knife/sanding part of cleaning nubmarks takes so fucking long for me.
>>23945309>I even tried sneaking away to paint, but people pointed out that I had a respirator shaped mark on my face and it gave the game away.Kek
Is there a specific brand of Changhands that's considered the "best" for its price? I keep getting recommended various Chinesium nippers like Ruitool or whatever.
>>23945321chang uses the cuck hood too?
>>23945321Why changhands? A godhand will last you for years, while a tamiya single blade will do the grunt work while also lasting for a similar amount of time.

>>23945487>the Japanese onesYeah but those are just big statues and aren't representative of what an actual war machine would be going through. At most it would just show us what a statue being rained on and gathering dust in a city would look like. That's why I always reference tanks and jets out in the field/crashed/parked in some graveyard. They are the closest we will get to accurate weather details.
Why nobody wants to make colony drop diorama?
>>23945493It's been done multiple times I bet
>>23945492Being abandoned in a city will actually leave more grime and such due to air pollution.
>>23945526How does that compare to the perfectly even coating of doodoo feces on that strike gundam?
>>23945527It shouldn't be that bad because both it didn't roll in the dirt before standing there, and also most of it would be down streaky if it did from the rain over the years. Also Mobile suits aren't made from iron/steel so they shouldn't be rusting.
>>23945526>due to air pollutionNot how you think though.
Is the MG The O worth picking up before it inevitably disappears for another decade?

>>23945549Yeah probably. The Daban allegedly isn't as good but it has the extra arms that bandai doesn't have.
Panda summer party tomorrow lads, whos coming?
>>23945551It's called being a good brainwashed cattle
>>23944724I like Motor Nuclear kits even though most of them look like unholy fusion of Barbatos and Ryujinmaru.
>>23945480It's a little cliché to say it but I think the weathering on a mobile suit would be somewhere right between a fighter jet and a tank, in terms of size and in deployment length/ how much damage they can take while still staying operational
>>23945551Good. The bootleg has a lot of little fit issues and looks worse. There's one truly offensive fitment issue on the backpack too.>>23945549Yeah, if you like the-o. It's nothing special and it's a really simple build. It's expensive because it's huge and nothing else.
>>23945557>The Daban allegedly isn't as goodit's one of daban's best release along with hyaku shiki and dynames.
>>23945436Should have been gray like that one Build HG from gears ago. Cheese just ain't it
>>23945562I'm gonna show up but I'm not revealing who I am.
>>23945575it's not that I like bandai, I just hate the chinese and chinese behavior more. I will not reward them with my money.
>>23945617I'll just assume you are whoever the fattest guy in it is
>>23945557>The Daban allegedly isn't as good but it has the extra arms that bandai doesn't have.To clarify your statement so the other (>>23945549) anon isn't confused; the Bandai kit only comes with two yellow beam saber blades while the Daban kit added another two for all four beam saber handles. Otherwise the kits are identical. There are no missing "arms," just effect parts.
>>23945626Sorry I'm retarded.
>>23945551you are a bootleg
>>23945608That's not saying much since everything they've ever made ranges between "abysmal dogshit" and "just barely okay"
>>23944724>when The O loves a Geara Zulu a little too much
>>23945631You can’t just call somebody a bootleg

>>23945775And what the fuck do you think a Gundam autist will be like?
I have so many fucking preorders/backlog and I aint building shit. What am I doing with my plamo career.
>>23945789I dunno not an actual card-carrying boomer
>>23945798The average age of this general is 37.
>>23945802I'm so used to being the "old" one in online spaces being in my early 30s that I just assumed everyone but me was a zoomer. Honestly explains why this thread and board is so relatively chill compared to the rest of this unforgivable hellsite.
>>23945802How old is thighsAnon then...
>>23944190And another snapshit (minor colour correcting)This kit is really great, it may be a simple design without many accessories but the construction is just about perfect. The elbow joints in particular are amazing, I kinda wanna get another just to use them for joint transfers and kitbashes.
>>23945808/m/ has always been an older board, in terms of demographics. Less inclined towards chaos, more towards detailed autistic discussion about minute tidbits and elements in the shows. The kind of discussion you like to see on 4chan.
>>23945840I really do hope that they do a new Full Armor 7th using this mold
>>23945841And I appreciate that. I only started getting really in to mecha relatively recently, I watched the Patlabor movies and Wing back in the day but fell off of anime for about... God, 20 years? Friend got me to watch Origins and now here I am.
>>23945844It'd be cool. I've got the old FA 7th laying around and the rest of the 4-6 so I'll take some group photos in a bit. Given their proclivity for huge HGs lately maybe we might even get the Heavy FA 7th. Either way the new HG has areas for the armour to attach.I'm not that big on this one but I'm sure there's some people out there who want it and it's okay. FA 7th is cool enough on its own for me, but it would be neat to have the option of this.

>>23945796Why aren't you building them anon, do you just need to coomsume that badly?
How come Prototype Gundam doesn't get amount of kits like G3? Is Bandai really that cheap to make a couple of new parts of forearms and ankle armors?
>>23946029Superglue it shut.
I've been seeing these red Hygoggs around. Are they official? Knockoffs? More importantly... are they good?
>>23945788>MK II>Protagonist
Finally, Zudah reprint
1st time trying out Gaia Notes Star Bright Silver for candy base.very similar to MrHobby's Super Chrome Silver 2, but a little bit less shiny and more flakes. both have high consumption rate when sprayed, but SBS has more volumes overall. 15ml paint + 45ml thinner since the paint is very thick. I personally like Chrome more, but SBS is more cost-efficient.
>>23946087also masking tapes suck
>>23946082Shut the fuck up, Jerrid.
>>23945694>eating yummy nubs and huffing paint fumes is a sin???
>>23946080Your picrel is obviously just a painted kit. The colour choices are nice, but whoever built it really didn't put ANY effort into filling those gaps. In fact, some are wider than they are normally.
>>23946084michaelis doko
>>23946077>is bandai cheap and…Yes.I think the last reprint of the P-Bandai 2.0 Prototype was around 2017
What are some of the bootleg/ 3rd party groups that did MGEX versions of the Unicorn, Phenex, Banshee, Norn, and Perfectibility? If I’m going to get any of the unicorns I’ll go with those since the MGEX inner frame is supposedly the best version, and Bandai keeps good things locked away and forgotten.
>>23946127Changlong

>>23946133DamnWell it is a big boy with shit goin on but that's higher than I thought fug
>>23946133Yeah, I'm staying off of P-Bandai until the tariffs stop being a thing. Nothing on my list is being sold anyway.
>>23946133FUCK PBANDAI THAT SHOULD BE LIKE 20 BUCKS MAX
>>23945461Looks like a fun time. Thanks for sharing bro.>I am really the only one who appreciates good quality diorama?I love hangar dioramas for some reason so this one's neat >>23945430
>>23946138>tariffs They’ve mostly stopped being a thing months ago after it was struck down by a Federal judge.While blame is shifted elsewhere companies used those tariffs to raise prices and now they’re never going to go down until people get used to it, and it becomes the new normal.
post chinkgod kinos
>>23946077The funny thing is that prototype gundam tends to come with even less shit so it can be """"accurate"""" because """"accuracy"""" is the most important thing apparently. The fucking MG is pbandai, more expensive than standard, AND only comes with a fraction of the arsenal of the original MG mold, because fuck you.
>>23946174>They’ve mostly stopped being a thing months ago after it was struck down by a Federal judge.Not quite, there's been a lot of bullshit around finding other ways to bring them in.

>>23946365i don't understand what these heli blades on the back could possibly do
>>23946366Sorry it can't do your little Jojo poses, snaptard. I'd rather have a model that actually looks good than your bandaibaby dolls for children
>>23946370Then you want statues not Gunpla. They aren't the same category.
>>23946133You people would scream and cry even harder if you built models that weren't gundam, or built models at all
>>23946366I mean the Deep Striker and RE/100 Nightingale are notorious brick kits, so they can in fact make useless kits.
>>23946363>GaoGaoI'd rather buy the old ass HG than anything from that company.
>>23946375I dont build boomershit cause its overpriced and a scam for a small amount of plastic and horrible engineering. Bandai set the standard for kino.
>>23946389Apparently they didn't since you're crying about bandai being too expensive too.
If anyone has built both the HG CCA MSV Stark Jegan and the Unicorn Prototype Stark Jegan, could you show what it looks like if you replace the MSV's torso and head with that of the Prototype? Thanks in advance
>>23946222SNAA kits are indeed pretty sweet, but wtf is that pose bro
>>23945461Here's one for you anon, built it myself. Planning on building another soon.
>>23946421And more zoomed out
>>23946423Holy shit my pic is blurry
>>23946399The right is MSV CCA
>>23946399>>23946435Oh wait, you said Prototype Unicorn Stark Jegan. My bad
>>23946222I see your knight has eaten at taco bell recently.>>23946421How come this massive multi-ton machine nor what killed it left any discernable mark on the land?
>>23946438I dunno man, maybe it fell very slowly. Maybe dirt has filled in the marks on the land since its been there for years
>>23946446If the earth moved that much, the zaku itself would be somewhat overtaken.Weathering and dioramas are a story. This one is poor writing even if the application of techniques is somewhat ok.
GlacierAnime actually delivered, $53 Hyaku Shiki 2.0, $150 for the lotWas sketchy for a minute there
>>23946049>Giving a giant robot body armor bestPatlabor is silly for this.
>>23946448What would you do to improve it? Its my first even diorama
>>23946423Obviously your pic is a bit too blurry to tell but I like that you didn't just cover it in shit.
>>23946488Yea, wouldn't make sense if it was. Just a fallen Zaku with plant growth on it. Il try to get a better pic, the ones i posted are vairly old
>>23946438This is my biggest complaint about a lot of the dioramas I've seen in this hobby. Giant robots should be leaving giant marks on the ground so they don't look so much like toys.>>23945450 kind of got it right with the Zaku's feet, but the GM on the ground looks like it laid down gingerly. >>23945442 and >>23945438 should be leaving huge footprints in the dirt and that truck should be flattened.
>>23946372This retard hasn't heard of artpla
>>23946399Here's your (mostly) correct Akitaka variation, just doesn't have the hip gun mount cus I don't care for it.
>>23946516Worth noting that they're molded in completely different colours, but it doesn't matter that much. The Proto Stark Jegan comes with new forearms and the old ones.
>>23946436>dalong didn't put the missile caps on rightshaking my head to be honest
I can live with no waterslides, but I'm wondering if you can pose the B-packs connected/detached without wires
>>23946536Probably.
>>23946516>Akitaka variationI was hoping someone would know what I was going for and you nailed it. Thanks anon.
>>23946536bandai just uses common gauges of solid core wire. If you really want the wire just take the part it inserts to to your local hardware store and buy a piece of cut to length wire that fits.
>>23946423Really captures the early 2000s snuff/gore style
so as far as chinkpla goes the hemoxian people are also making furriesIm only seeing preorders up on gundamit tho, where do you order outside of the US? I never touched aliexpress or temu for fears of scams and shit
>>23946467Silliness is excused for how much aura it has
God this thing looks so fucking cool. Too bad it's like $500
>>23946574that's a reasonable price.
>>23946574
Why are Kotobukiya model kits so shit compared to Bandai and chinkgod kinos?>g-get new materialYeah, I will when they stop being shit.
>>23946365Anon, Megahouse is Bandai
>>23946366>worthless static brickKino
>>23946369probably just communication antennae or somethingsincerely doubt there's any idea of them generating lift or anything, just looking cooland they do look pretty cool
>>23946661HGUC Nightingale isn't actually much of a static brick. It's quite posable actually, you can do a lot of dynamic displays with it. The legs are hindered by design but that's honestly all that holds it back. Great kit really. Can't say the same for the RE100, it is definitely a big awkward brick.
>>23946663Anon, you can squeeze whatever the articulation it has and 90% of it's body still looks the same as the default standing pose because Nightingale is just a fat fuck. You would be a Kyokai Senki fan because those kits have some of the best articulation Bandai has to offer.
Why did you let it die, Articulation Bros?!
uh oh someone is having a melty.
>>23946664not really though. The mobility of the binders and being able to reproduce the storage state makes for a lot of silhouette changing, and it's articulate enough to do stuff like two handing the rifle and having shoulder first shooting poses etcIt also helps it has no problem supporting the rifle or anything it comes with so you can really put it in quite a bunch of poses.
Uh oh someone is articulating his anus
>>23946574>Too bad it's like $500what do you mean? poopla is only a couple bucks
>>23946669>The mobility of the binders and being able to reproduce the storage state makes for a lot of silhouette changing, and it's articulate enough to do stuff like two handing the rifle and having shoulder first shooting poses etcWhatever, the skirt, big ass and legs always look unchanging no matter the pose. Same with tank models honestly, you rotate the gun, open some doors and they have articulated track but does that really matter? Still a brick.
>>23946676the skirts can pose and are designed to do so a decent bit with the subarms, and the legs are capable of holding a good amount of spread poses etcI'm not saying it can do yoga poses but you know what poses worse than it? the MG V2 and a whole bunch of other kits in my collection. Old HGs are kinda cheating but shit it poses pretty similar to the actual HG Sazabi. It just isn't particularly immobile and is a bad example, the RE100 is a great example but the HG is pretty impressive in squeezing out just about all the design could reasonably do.
>>23946661thanks for reminding me this is in stock actually
>>23946669Majority of older HG are being refered to as bricks due to their limited articulation inspite of their articulated pauldrons and completely free arm motion. Even Ma.K's MK44 - the most famous brick here, has articulated facemask, articulated arm and waist rotation.
>>23946685idk what you're really trying to explain here but I don't need your explanation on what a brick isonly thing I'm saying here in any of this is the HGUC Nightingale is surprisingly well constructed and articulate contrary to what it may seem for the designplenty of kits have far worse with even less crazy designsfwiw I can compare the RE100, B-Club 1/100 and HGUC Nightingales personally (I gave away my RE100 one though) so I'm pretty decently experienced with this specific design and its particulars. The HGUC is impressive for what the design is, that's it.
>>23946495Il keep that in mind for my next diorama
Plamor demands new blood
>>23946674Never understood why the 2-3 of you hate GTM so much
>>23946687Is it impressive? Yes. Is it a brick? Yes. The free arm motion and articulated binders were achieved in like, 1990. It needs a landing gear for it's ass because the back skirt doesn't move lmao
>>23946697nta and I rarely speak up about it because who cares like whatever you want really but personally I think they just look awfulit really just blows my mind how much of a regression they feel like to me, I think above all else the arms ruin any attempt at them being kinda cool to me. Those elbows make them look so stupid.anyway that's my jayz2cents.
>>23946495So in your example diorama the tanks have displaced the correct amount of dirt to match references. The Zaku has displaced LESS with no trail of movement. He spawned in there, at x=0 height, compressed a little soil, and has not moved despite the ongoings. He didn't walk or land there. He didn't slide during a thrust.>>23946485So start with what happened, what was it fighting and what destroyed his leg. What is the impact from the fall like. Look at reference pictures. Plenty exist for what things look like after impact and years later. Things get rounded over, young trees sprout up. The impacts and deformation to the land remains even if obscured a little. Your terrain learning is very good for a first attempt but the storytelling behind it is what wins awards.
>>23946698It's pretty demonstrably not if you own the kit. The back skirt isn't supposed to move, they coulda made it move if they wanted but I don't even understand the point. Yup it has a big ass. It doesn't "need" the landing gear for anything because it actually can support the weight, the landing gear helps but you can absolutely go without it. You can also use the fuel tanks as landing gear on the inside too if you want since they are articulated, rather pointlessly honestly but pretty useful for this if it's your tism to not have landing gear but still get support. Course back skirts not moving is actually pretty widespread across lots of designs and kits overall, from Gundams to Gelgoogs, but idk I guess it's important here for some reason just cus it's a big butt? I dunno, works fine to me man. Personally I keep mine in a kinda boring aura farming pose but I know if I was interested in rigging up the action bases to support it properly I could put it in some particularly wild ones because it supports it.
>>23946705 Actually useful constructive criticism on /m/. Thanks, I fully welcome and want it
>>23946536you can substitute the missing lead wires with copper
>>23946736won't taste as good though
why is there no MG of the geara zelu? it is the best grunt
>>23946903That's just Zaku
>>23946903A question that will never truly be answered. A question as mysterious as what came before the beginning of the universe. The world may never know.
>>23946903There's all sorts of designs out there that don't have MG kits, or desperately need a 2.0, like the Guncannon, Zeong, Qubeley, GM III, Kampfer, the entire 0083 lineup, and so on. But Bandai works in stupid and inconsistent ways, so there's no telling if/when any of that will ever happen. Hell, for how CCA was considered the magnum opus of Gundam for so long, there was literally an entire decade gap between the original MG ReGZ and the Nu Ver. Ka.
>>23946952All of Seed needs 3.0 and 4.0
The little support craft setups for the Build Divers Planets Armours are pretty cool honestly
>>23946903it's weird, because they could milk the mold on p-bandai for a bajillion exclusive releases.
congrats bandai for releasing the first scalpable 30ms kit
>>23947013cute
>>23947013Explain further
>>23946903they could have release it during the whole unicorn hype nut noooo we had to eat 3 fucking rezels instead and like 10 variants of the unicorn and banshee
>>23947021Creaturas will kill each other for this option set to make their bandai girlpla into sexy school girls
>>23947013Really fucked up for bandai to announce a bunch of actually good not-mecha musume girpla right as we near the end of this theme
>>23947028I will face no issues buying such a thing on any of the US storefronts it hits.
How did I not know G-Lucifer was being reprinted, you jagweeds?
>>23947040this general has bottom tier garbage taste. if it's not SEED or mainline early UC nobody here will care about it.
>>23947040Gself and Kabakali is already on circulation. it's only a matter of time before they reprint the rest of Greco kits.
>>23947040I didn't know anyone actually liked G Self.
>>23946910>Zaku>bigger ZakuThat's why we want him.
>>23947013Funny it took bandai this long to make jk sisters
>>23946910>>23947057its a bigger germanish Zakuthat's why I want it
>>23947045Wasn't there a poll for reprinting those or was that a fever dream I had?
>>2394702210 variants of the unicorn, 6 of which were rushed and have flaws that will give you broken parts, 3 are flimsy grenade kits and the only one that is fixed is a overpriced P-Bandai kit that hardly sees reprints but also only exists to sell an overpriced LED light setup for it
>>23947076i may have missed it, but IIRC the latest polls were only for the MG reprints and the currently running p-bandai one.
>>23947091They were subpar kits as you would expect of the Unicorn's predictable issues, but your assessment sounds like a reddit snapshitter.
>>23946903I've always had a theory the reason they refuse to make some MG kits like the Geara Zulu is because it would open them up to being pressured to make related kits like the Zee Zulu, Geara Zulu Guards Type, Geara Zulu Angelo Sauper Custom, Rozen Zulu, etc. If post-2018 Bandai is anything, it's that they want to make a lot of money, but not do any real work or take any risks. Number go up infinitely and forever without effecting bottom line. So the best we're getting is probably 1.5's like the Doms, unofficial 1.5's like the P-Bandai Re-GZ's, Ver. Ka. updates of already existing kits. Now from the looks of things we're at least starting to get reprints of older kits again, but that took Bandai making a second factory to do so.It's kind of grim.
>>23947049Honestly I think the G-Self is the weakest design in the HG G-Reco lineup.
I think we'll get a MG Double Fake at some point in the future. The teaser for the Reprise manga had that inner frame that looks almost like what you would see from a MG inner frame design
>>23947108Almost thought that this was from IBO until I saw the waist and upper torso
AAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEanother 1 month project.This is why I'll never run out of backlog.
>>23947184candy paint is tough. too many layers, too much waiting time. and I ran out of green paint, so I couldn't do triple layers for the darkened green parts.
>>23946077Don't worry anon, hes finally getting merch! Remember prototype gundams iconic visor and four yellow eyes, I sure do!
jeez the amount of effort per nub some people put to clean up
>>23947275What?
>>23947227Some of you guys really love to bitch for no reason huh.
>>23947326NTA but some people do multistep approach to each and every single nub - cutting in 2-3 cuts with single blade after cutting off part out of runner with normal nippers, level with metal file, apply 3 grades of sanding paper and finish with glass file.Compare that to people who just cut once from spure, cut once with single blade close to part and level with knife, calling it done.
what's stopping you from building resin kits?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uC6fw_LS8xI
>>23947275>cut from runner with double bladed nippers>cut nubs with single bladed nippers>visible nubs sanded with 400>800>nubs that will be covered cut with knife>sand lightly with 800 if it's troublesome with articulation/other partsIt's not even that much efforts compared to what other people do, but I'll admit it's not my favorite part of the hobby
>>23947372Lung cancer risk.
>>23947372they're irritating to acquire
>>23947372the ones that I want went extinct
>>23947372the fact that 99% of them are ugly, overdesigned crap
>>23947372mostly just availability and price of anything I'd actually want. also space since they tend to be on the larger side.I'm in the middle of working on my first resin kit which is a recast of an anime girl statue from e2046 and it's not all that difficult to work with, just some iffy casting to clean up in a few spots
>procrasting painting a kit>snap built two kits and just finished with panel line, brush/marker small details and top coatI enjoy brushwork but the clean up, set up/teardown of airbrushing gets old. I was watching a youtuber use warhammer methods on gunpla and I think I might try that, brush painting is fun.
>>23947372I would if the engineering was better.
>>23947275Yea i dont get it either, once you master the way of the hobby blade sanding usually isnt necessary
>>23947227Visors are cool
>>23947459Do it, brush painting is very Zen
Are zippo/lighter fluid have the same property as mr hobby weathering fluid? might be able to save a few bucks by using cheaper alternatives
>>23944190The replacement shoulder parts arrived from China so finally got to finish the MG Nu build. Just a few photos since I posted a bunch of in progress ones. Overall pretty happy with how it turned out besides the failed pinning attempt on the broken part.
>>23947627Only a couple screwups on this one. Not hitting that chest top piece before I ran out of the color being the main one. Although the paint job not even being done fits with how the Nu was rushed out for CCA? Decided to leave it with that justification.
>>23947630You can see my very well integrated solution for the funnels here. After I took this it slipped backwards on the photo booth, yet the funnels stayed together besides the first one (and the tape held on).Also I forgot in the previous post the other issue - being retarded and using a Gundam marker for panel lining the shins. Forgot that it only cleans off with iso which also affects the top coat. Did what I could, but it didn't turn out great. Overall I really enjoyed this build. Was a ton of parts to paint, but got it done in a reasonable amount of time even with the GGX White (and the gray mix) taking a week to dry fully (it was dry to the touch in the usual amount of time, just acrylic like fragile). The gray coming out darker than intended was also a nice happy accident. Love how it breaks up the panels so much.
>>23947632And the MG UC protagonist shelf is now completed. I do have a new MG Victory to make at some point (since I've gotten better over the decade since I assembled that one).
>>23947636WHERES YOUR X-3 ANON?
>>23947639It's a Metal Build and the stand doesn't fit. Also that is an X-1 KaiKai as it's the FC Crossbone without the FC as it refused to stand up in a decent pose with it on.
>>23947636>protagonist shelf>no 0080, 0083, no MK II, no Narrative>complete
>>23947636>>23947646kino poses
why do some parts of the rg rx-78-2 react to a blacklight but most dont? why dont they all not react to it?
>>23947658I'm apparently strange in not liking 0080.For 0083 I consider the Dendrobium to be the protagonist suit as it's the final upgrade. It's not in MG. MK2 isn't the final upgrade. Also I'm waiting for the ver Ka that is inevitable. Narrative isn't canon in my opinion. It's even more pointless than Unicorn itself.
hello again
>>23947667It depends on the pigments Bandai is using to color the plastic. Many white pigments are UV reactive, same with orange/yellow. Lots of their clear pigments also are UV reactive, besides annoyingly the standard pink beam saber (outside of the new GQUX ones).
>>23947685so it's possibke than in a print run one kit would have all the white/light grey reactive and some could have none of them reactive at all? that would kinda cool.

>>23947701why is it purple?
>>23947711because it reflects purple off itself
>>23947711designer version
more snibbedy snabs filling my weekI kinda want to do something more with these but I dunno what. I really dig the core gundam and planet armours as a whole though, really cool pack-user design. I think the frame parts for these MAs could probably make for a cool structure for some space fighter or something, especially combining multiple together.
>>23947673>MK II Ver KaWhy the fuck hasn't this happened yet? The engineering investment would pay off massively, and it would bring a lot of consumer confidence back to the MG line. There's all kinds of PBandai bullshit you could pull with new MK II moulds, and that's not even counting the inevitable AEUG and Titans colors they'd double dip with.
>>23947744> it would bring a lot of consumer confidence back to the MG line.you talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded
>>23947748Oh, I'm sorry for speaking plain English. Let me translate that into zoom-zoom retard speak for you. Lowkey, the tech vibes would be majorly LIT, and it would def give the MG line a major revive, fr fr no cap.
>>23947751>yeah you must be a zoomer!oh my midwitterythere's no lack of consumer confidence in the MG line and you're just spouting bullshit
>>23947754>>23947748Wasn't bandai forced to apologize in the latest investor meeting for the lack of MG kits?
>>23947756Bandai did in fact just recently indicate they were going to focus more on the MG line and that consumers were disappointed in the lack of support yes.
>>23947748Why come you no have a tattoo?
>>23947761Why is that slut not wearing a respirator
I learned of Mr.Hobby putting out LOGH colors.I prefer acrylic so I'm on the hunt for close enough approximates in acrylic form. Any suggestions? These paints seem hard to get in Canada so I know of Vallejo, Tamiya, and AK Interactive.>>23947761>that picThat is impressive.

>>23947794Doesn't even make sense.
>>23947799Earth Fed is similar to Soviet
>>23944190Gundam X Unit 3, I think this is a really pretty mobile suit even before painting. Currently using all the included junk parts in purple to help plan my color scheme before cleanup and priming
>>23947799you dumb nigger, but huge robots wielding battle axes flying through space makes sense? do you even know where you are? fuck off
>>23947813Whoever shit in your cereal should have pissed in it too, you're a cunt and deserve it.
>>23947799neither does communismso it fits
>>23947813fuck you faggot
>>23947813Dumb fucking moron.
>>23947783>no responsesAlright I might make an amazon.co.jp account if it will ship to Canada.How big will the shipping be if I want to also order some plastics from Japan as well?Where else can I ask for an acrylic close enough alternative to the LOGH Mr.Hobby paints if the places here won't yield results? I don't want to spam here to the annoyance of others.
>>23947783Looking at the colors in that line, they all seem to be pretty generic military hues that are not difficult to find. Tamiya and Vallejo both have tons, Mr Hobby has the acrysion line which seems to have similar tones as well
>>23947783>>23947883Tamiya's XF series in particular seems to have a lot of similar kinds of color

>>23946080Just saw a bootleg listing on ali
>>23946082Have you seen Z gundam? The mk.ii is the protagonist MS for the first half of the show.
>Order RG IWSP kit on eBay>Didn't think it was a bootleg, nothing suggested it>Kit arrives>Chinese bootleg>Weird smellFuck. Time to bust out the soap-water and gloves ig
>>23948054You can complain to ebay to get a refund
>>23948061Hell I might
>>23947883>>23947885Thanks!I did a bit of searching and found something called "paint vault." It has a lot of hobby paint brands. Is it a reliable tool for finding close approximates?Just wondering if anybody has experience with the site and is able to say whether it is reliable or not.
I was watching JL gunpla and he used panel liner to test his rescribes before priming. I know he can get away with it because he works with resin, but its complete suicide for plastic. What can I use to safely do the same thing for regular HG kits. Watercolor maybe?
>>23946903why is there no MG of the Zogok? it is the best amphibious suit
>>23944495Please look forward to the chinkpla version
