Where are my non gouged Quels? You said there would be msrp Quels.
>>23951067They’re being reprinted next month retard. They take a few months to show up outside of Japan after that.
>>23951076What's taking so long? Hurry it up!!!!
https://bandai-hobby.net/blog/01_7314/Preview for 30MM Xenovalt and Spinatio Pirate. Looks like they've addressed a lot of the complaints about the line here.
>>23951095The Xenovalt looks cool as fuck, love the Dual Face kinda look. More not-Armored Cores is a great way to go.
>>23951059Closer and closer to deadline - what do you think, how many entries we gonna get?
>>23951095Ahhh i dont want to buy more 30mm kits.
>>23951095I guess the Xenovalt will have to do if I don't want to buy the rare, expensive, and terrible Muv-Luv model kits
Hg Hazel Owsla bootleg by EffectWing
The next Gundam will be ___
ABSOLUTELY MADLAD
>>23951120Yes, we all saw this in the last thread already.
I am convinced that there is a paid bootleg shill in /gpg/
>>23951129you can't be this daft bro
>>23951120Oh thank god my order on Ali was canceled
>>23951130So how much per sale?
>>23951129>You have to buy this rare, scalped to death kit bro! This more accessible, cheaper bootleg is bad!
>>23951137>I have to buy and like every single bootleg releases!
>>23951120I wonder why they can’t make a armor bit for the arms?
>>23951129You've called me a bootleg shill because I once complained about bandai being cunts and that then activated my autism.
>>23951142I dont even know wtf you’re talking about. Do you just assume that only one guy calls you a bootleg shill?
>>23951139They'll do it on the next iteration + LED so you have no choice to buy again.
>>23951145Shutup man, you know it's only you and I here.
>>23951152Stop huffing the paint fumes.
Curious if this is an upscaled HG or modified Psycho Zaku Ver Ka.
Also AK is releasing their HG Hazel in Black Hares colors too. Maybe they'll release a Kelderek before Bandai does.
Does anyone have decal instruction manual for Zaku The Origin by Ghost/G-Rework decal? cant find it anywhere.
>>23951129The shill is the guy that says "recast"
Schizophrenia has been a problem among the 4chan /m/ population
>>23951179Among all of 4chan, not just /m/
>>23951156the zaku looks to be the exactly same as the Ver.Ka just without the fuel tanks, and as far as I can tell the big gun is original; the details are all slightly different and there's more part separation than the HG
>>23951156that's clearly just a recoloured psycho zaku rather than the typical Thunderbolt Zaku II
I asked this before and none of you fuckers answered. Are microsol and microset safe to use on plated kits? I heard one of them is diluted acetone, which doesn't sound like something you should put over bare plating.
>>23951213God damn, man; just test it on a runner.
>>23951213one of them is diluted vinegar, sip to find out!
>>23951120They made Perfect Zeong but no RG Perfect Gundam
wip pmx-005 breda
>>23951229The O's little brotherThe Ugh
Someone in my build night discord says this is the new Gundam, is he pulling a fast one on me?
>>23951060First time drybrushing over black Stynylrez primer. Finally found a good handbrush alternative to black Mr Surfacer 1500
I dont like these AOZ bootleg kits. I wish chang made more MSV origin kits instead.
I love Chinks.
>>23951266>No copy Xits so sad the only way to get a copy X kit is from the now $200++ emodel leftovers.
>>23951261Just wait for an hour
>>23951159The shoulder and arm proportions look different from the standard HG. New mold?
Thinking about picking up the Mega Size Unicorn Gundam for my birthday, do any of you happen to own it alongside the Kosmos LED kit? I’ve never built a kit with LEDs before, I’m curious if anyone has any tips regarding the assembly. Also any base recommendations large and sturdy enough to keep the kit suspended in the air?
>>23951293No, tell me now
>>23951323you know the rules, thigh pics first.
>>23951174I'm the guy (?) who says recast more than anybody else here and I almost exclusively use it when talking about e2046 and their resin recasts. Man, I fucking wish they would pay me. I would even do it for free IF THEY WOULD JUST FULFILL THEIR GODDAMN PREORDERS
>>23951323I thought it was tomorrow?
>>23951323It's an unconfirmed leak, we don't fucking know, dumbass
Is Sparmax 0.3 a good easy to maintain airbrush or am I better off saving up for something like a GSI or an Iwata? I've had airbrushes of the chinesium variety before that have helped me in topcoating a bunch of kits and making one (1) painted kit, and I want something that's more foolproof.
>>23951326>that maid kitYou could've gotten a cute Puru yet you choose this. Plamor is displeased
>>23951329Answer the FUCKING question
thinking of buying the HG Ginn and kitbashing it to make a fan-made UCified revive. What kits should I get and which ones don't jive too badly with the mechanical design philosophy of the Ginn?
>>23951360The answer is yes
>>23951359I am not degenerate enough for lolis, furries and that other stuff but I am also too far gone from the rest of society. An outcast in both worlds. Let me enjoy my MILF feet piss in solitude...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTbaU6amI68disappointment in 5 minutes lads
Es real
>>23951392bro you ruined it, why couldnt you wait 10 minutes to post that
>>23951360No.
>>23951430goofy fap arm and a bit much greeble but at least it's not female mc slop so it might be watchable
Wonder how will the bandages work in kit form.
>>23951430Covering a suit in this much cloth is gonna be hell for the gunpla engineers.
>>23951120What's the issue? Looks fine to me.
IT BEGINS
The HG
>>23951476with skinny legs and arms like that it better be articulate.
KINO ALERT
sex
Gundam Helix IN COLORS
>the only kits they announce are HGs of the protagonistI want MGs of the new gundams and kits of the aliens you fucks
>>23951484did a GBWC winner design this
I was always a helix fan
>it's ok when bamco does it
>>23951479>All those recessed bright teal spots that definitely won't be color separatedIt's the g-self all over again...
>>23951489>>23951490Ah, so I'm guessing the grey is factory colors and it's going to be stolen by the protag and painted to look more Gundam later in the story.
>>23951485>>23951489What is this michael bay shit.
Gimme the jimmy
>>23951495>>23951476these look like shit
Rate the new Gundam's aesthetics.
>>23951504it looks like fucking tranformer
I wonder what was up with the RG 'leak' then?
>>23951489I hate it less than I thought I would.>>23951476I can't find anything to like.>>23951504Looks like an Ultraman suit.
>>23951510I like it other than the huge arm guards. Wonder whether they will make a kit for the caped version though.
>>23951510ozempic/10
Crossbonebros...
>>23951510the leaked gundam was always fucking shit. Rogue orbit was cool though it's base colors are drab as fuck.
>>23951504Is this designed by the dude who make the Ultraman/Linebarrel manga
>what if faner but with gundams
>>23951516Ain't it by the same guy?
>>23951516>Looks like an Ultraman suit.>>23951524Yes, it's done by Eiichi Shimizu
>>23951229Why is it melting?
Here's your zaku for the next couple of years
>>23951533Oh okay. I knew there was a reason I didn't like it. Checks out.
notChar's suit i guess
>>23951510the base form is just kinda boring desu. nothing I really like or dislike apart from not really liking the little blue LEDs all over. I'm more interested in how it changes over the course of the series. >>23951466 pic suggests it get's repaired/ modified with parts from the aliens which seems cool
>>23951543The head looks like Quanta's.
>>23951510Pretty cool I guess, better than Gcucks but thats a low bar. Dunno if I like it enough to rush out and buy a kit though.
>>23951541I see literally nothing wrong with this. A fine successor to the title of 'Grunt'.
>>23951541Uh, I need a better shot because I'm kind of interested. I need more information before I determine if I hate it though.
>>23951560looks like aerial to me
>>23951541Looks solid. I look forward to buying one, slapping a command horn on it and painting it Char colors.
>>23951574>bandai tries to chase mercury shit againLet's see if they realized that the faggots only liked it for the faggotry.
>>23951485>>23951484This is amazing
>>23951574It really doesn't
>>23951581What do you mean, "again"?
>>23951543>00's head but with different begin jewel, no ears and a chinguardnot terribly creative but there's nothing wrong with copying kino>>23951574faceblind-kun...
>>23951560Looks like astrea head with the v-fin design of the aerial. Wouldn't be surprised if there's units in this which are a mix of different design points from multiple other units. I assume the RG on the title means this is a new timeline separate from UC & AU. I would imagine there's some time travel/timeline fuckery going on since Bandai has been playing around with that a lot recently.
>>23951541Spiked shoulders are IN.The legs look somewhat close to the original
>>23951602it's new timeline
>>23951541Could be worseat least it doesn't have thigh tumors
>>23951587>>23951596it is and it even has the same fucking gun but flipped upside down
Okay, so...MG Narrative B-Packs, MG Tallgeese 3, and...MG Buster? Can't tell what the other is.
>>23951476My brother is arguing with me and telling me this is a ripoff of the wing proto zero and I have never met a more blind person in my life and I am being rage baited and it's WORKING
>>23951629Schedule your brother for cataract surgery.
>>23951120it's too twinked, which looks complete ass with how much more the skirt flares out on the RG. If the thighs and feet were bigger it would be nice, but this is horrid.
>>23951510Chinese/10Somehow generic/boring and doing too much at the same time.
>>23951648You chucklefucks call everything Chinese these days.
I have become a consooomer in my mid 30s but I feel free.
>Xi/Penelope funnel missile effect set already sold outFucking hell
>>23951648"Generic." If anything, it's going to get flak for how much it's departing from franchise norms. Full size key visual of>>23951466https://files.catbox.moe/kbg8ox.png
>>23951677
>>23951669If the uninspired panel lined shoe fits.
The new Gundam main protagonist.
>>23951684why does his right hand look oddly organic
>>23951696ayyyyyy lmao
>>23951684Wait, katanas?
>>23951690I don't think he's getting any plamo, anon...
>>23951060I wanted to paint a warmer white than I usually do and it was quite pleasant. Loosely based the colors on the crossbone X3 but went for a brighter sky blue (which to be honest I don't like as much but wanted to give it a try).
>>23951684He will be a secret boss in the game
>>23951510>no HG 1/100 or FM 1/100 at announcementaborted before even born. Namco/Bandai is not confident with this shit, its gonna be buried and forgotten as soon as the anime end. just like G-cucks, G-witch, and G-reco
>>23951060I haven't posted in a while. I've been breaking down old snapped kits that I built a long time ago and reworking them. I'll keep going through my collection reworking old kits.
>>23951704Every gundam gets a sword. Even God Gundam and Gcucks had swords.
>>23951712upskirt yellow thruster sexo
>>23951058that blue and red is gorgeous
>>23951712CUTE
>>23951722I love this design so much that I've had the kit laying around for years because I couldn't decide on a kit to kitbash it with but ultimately I chose to just paint it instead of letting it go to waste. I might buy a third one at some point now that I've enjoyed it by itself
>>23951677>>23951684The pilot looks like he was badly shopped in. Also, is bandai having a midlife crisis and doesn't know what direction to go in? Last series was Eva, this series is ultraman + Michael bay.
>>23951717the dom scribing is nice, but the lines on that char zaku are a bit confused. >>23951712very nice. colour scheme inspired by x-3?
>>23951684>fleshy organic partsRUINEDthe bandages on a bigass robot also look retarded
>>23951430>heterochromia>stupid random demon hand>cloakLMFAO did Chris Chan write this?
>>23951626>7 items>Rg tall geese>Mg narrative b pack>Mg gm dominace philipe hughesThese three combined is at 117usd at half off. The rest of the box is gonna be aids
>work all day designing electrical systems for facilities on the other side of the world >go home and put together tiny plastic figures at nightI unironically think have autism but in a good way. Like how the germans work all day to go home and play farming and forklift simulators.
>>23951510Proto wing zero ripoff.
>>23951489I like it better than the impression I got from the game reveal, thick legs are nice, still wish it was 80% less greeble
>>23951743YES WE WANT DMC AUDIENCE TOO
>>23951754> still wish it was 80% less greebleIt looks like those people that are more cancer than person.
>>23951510Best design in over half a decade. Not saying much but atleast its an improvement
>>23951712That looks great, School Shooter Gundam was such a great design, it looks hot with those colors too. Wish it got a 1/100, but well, Bandai
>>23951732The geometry of the legs is fantastic and lends itself really well to shading>>23951724I think it works really well with the warm white and the yellow, all around very bright and cheerful>>23951731thanks>>23951737>colour scheme inspired by x-3?yep, I saw a drawing of it in x1 colors on pixiv while considering color schemes and thought it really fit. the vents on the side of the head make for good proxies for the crossbone eye scars
I hope it's not just another 12 episode per season shitfest. I'm tired of new Gundam series moving at breakneck speed with no time to actually develop anyone.
>>23951740I disagree
>>23951763>a drawing of it in x1 colors on pixiv pic related, didn't have demi barding gloves on hand though
>>23951684That unironically looks sick.
>>23951684this gundam is some fucking eva not just robot i bet
>>23951690Finally a normal fuckin dude. Hopefully the main bitch is hot and they fuck
>>23951763did you pin the ankle and foot armor pegs?
>>23951810I expect some horrendous seamlines
>>23951816
>>23951808Why would I? They move perfectly fine just don't hamhand them
>>23951816>>23951813>>23951810Rogue Orbit suits look like RFV designs
>>23951813Reminds me a bit of the Strike.
>>23951816I hope it get an MG or at least a Full Mechanics
It's an excllusive kit for the Collector's Edition of the game.
>>23951296AK did retool a good chunk of the HG Hazel mold, yes.
this version has no backpack
>>23951846It has one there >>23951489
>>23951846another render without it
>>23951430HOLY FUCK. MARTIAL ARTS KINO WE ARE SOOOO BACK. GOD GUNDAM FANS WON.
>>23951856wait here it has it, i see
>>23951510The model kit does it better than the artwork. I like it.
>>23951835Gotta love the yellow getting washed into an ugly diarrhea green
>>23951156is thunderbolt particularly popular in china right now or something? 3 separate TB ac-guys and now this
So the leaks were actually real and that we will get this soon??
>>23951874>GNAnon, please
>>23951856>>23951850>>23951846>>23951835Too much greeble for me. But I will still get it just for the novelty.
The leaked Gunpla from back then.
>>23951874That one's obviously AI generated, dude.
>>23951879At this point I may as well believe its real since the leaks were actually real.
>>23951882I'm sorry that you're like this.
>>23951888I know man, but this image was floating around at the same time as the leaks so I may as well believe it maybe real.
these new designs aren't my thing but they're not terrible either desui'm intrigued at the very least
>>23951510I dislike the small face, looks like it strapped on a sped helmet
>>23951712looks great man, i normally scoff at just slapping the clown colors on a kit but it works very well with the vulva
These new designs are the most generic shit I've ever seen. They've been doing cool new stuff with WfM and GQ and now we're back to the most generic-looking Gundam designs we've seen in years.
>>23951871It doesn't look green in person, apparently.
>>23951744Nah. I've had good luck with these bundles before. There will be a few more surprises in there
>mfw they didn't believe.
Where were you when RG was kill?
>>23951926not a big fan of this leg armor
>>23951934
>>23951926>we want the whoever wants this audience.
>>23951926It's so funny how the traditional Gundam colors ALWAYS make a design look worse yet they keep autistically insisting on keeping all protag suits like this.
I actually like the Zaku.
>>23951926I like the Helix design a lot, but please for the love of god give us 1 non-box-hand. I know that's a big ask for Bandai these days
>>23951946TRUTH NUKE
>>23951946The white and blue looks infinitely better than the mono gray thoughbeit
>>23951926The blue one kind of gives me steroid abusing exia 'vibes'.
>>23951959But the extra 2 colors make every designs they're slapped on look utterly confused.In this case even the blue doesn't look good because it looks randomly slapped on some parts
>>23951961more like exia in michelin cosplay
>>23951965It certainly doesn't help that it has the netflix gundam greeble to the max.
>>23951961Does anyone have that concept art of the 00 Gundam that was just really fat exia.
>>23951961This reminds me that I need to make new thumbs for my MG exia. I fixed it up recently and gave it a paintjob but over the years it lost both of its thumbs somehow.
>>23951476>>23951504>>23951543So they got Shimizu, the linebarrel guy, for this new gundam series... and told him to sanitize every design and make them as uncool as possible. Awesome.
>>23952016what about this makes it look so racist
>>23952022It looks like an enemy from Kirby.
>>23951904aliens are just kinda dogshit as an enemy threat, esp. in a gundam setting (which are generally weak to begin with)
>>23952034Nah they're pretty based
Didn't watch the announcement. Is the new Gundam series tied in with the new game?
>>23952037nah, they blow chunks
>>23952048Of your mom
Incredible how good this color scheme looks on Epeon
>>23952061
>>23952034Have we ever had aliens in Gundam before? The Baund Doc looked like it originally was supposed to be alien. And then Turn X is kind of alien, but it's still human. Would be a great enemy threat, imagine they show up and start wrecking shit because their technology is superior - feddies and zeeks need to ally together to fight them off. Classic.
>>23952069It'd be cool if there was a movie with that premise. Everyone having to come together to fight off the threat of some non-human entity that can maybe subjugate/infiltrate/invade advanced tech systems and fight using that would be awesome.
>>23952069ELS in 00:T
>>23952069Gundam 00 movie was about aliens. Other than that, some entries were only like mentions aliens. I think was it Crossbone that had that goo alien mobile suit or something?
spent 90 minutes on this and it still looks like shit. considering to redo it again
>>23952022the conehead obviously
Finally painted my Xeku Eins. Pray for a reprint, i want 3 more.
>>23952045The game will be a sequel to the anime, so I imagine you can enjoy the anime on its own
It is actually pretty tall
The colored edition of the HG Helix is exclusive to the collector's edition of Rogue Orbit. https://x.com/BandaiNamcoUS/status/2080359793114468721
>>23952134This thing also reminded me of this old image macro.
>>23951510This one looks ok for a first gundam, but kinda like a more generic Strike>>23951816This one is actually looks pretty sick. I'd buy a MG of it
>>23952126I wonder why they announced the announced the game way before the anime then. Keep them separated so as not to appear like a shovel ware game?
>>23952134this mother fuckers are really going to get me spend $80 on a cheap Armored Core rip off. This is Baja blast gundam all over again
Is this the strongest Gundam of all time?
>>23952195>Calls it shit but still buys itYou could just... not
>>23952202>G Frame but dogshit
>>23951476Fuck you guys, I like it
>>23952238Its better than anything in the Witch from Mercury or GQuuuuuuX
>>23952134>>23952195or you could just paintgod it
>>23952045they share the same universe
>>23952134SnapGODs... why has Bandai-sama forsaken us
snapbuilding = snapgoddingpainting = paintgoddingknow your technical terms for gunpla
>>23952287the head looks so fucking dumb
>>23952287>>23952290TORSOGODS WON. IT'S OVER. EXTEND THE TORSOS OF YOUR GUNPLA NOW.
I fucking hate ordering from Newtype. They'll say they sent my shit out but they're actually just sitting on the label for a week doing fuck all. Not even imports are this slow to ship.
>>23952300I've never, ever had that issue with Newtype, they always shipped within a business day or two. More annoyed that they give packages to carriers at random so I end up waiting 2 weeks for DHL's slow ass half the time, not even USPS is that slow.
>>23952299Are we sure this is 144 scale? It looks really tall.
>>23951946the protag color works well this time. Could be because blue is the prominent color as opposed to white and red
>>23952300That's not an issue on their end. It's the logistics company doing that shit.
>>23952304yeah, it's in universe height is 30 meters
>>239523341/100 version never lmao
>>23951626I grabbed it. I will let you know the results. Said shipping right away.
>>23952287I didn't know why I thought it was so weird until now. Goddamn that cranium is huge, its forehead takes up like half the head.
>>23952345enjoy 4 HG altrons!
>>23952354They haven't done repeats in any of the previous ones. >>23952308The proportions, and the exact shades matter a lot for the protag colors. I like their current pick I think.
>>23951820you can already see some on the sides of the bicep and hip
>>23952294post the Aerial
>>23951261>the leaks are realkek the "full armor" one that looked like AI might be legit too
>>23951476i like that detail on the spine. it gives the hint that Alex Zero might be a living organism or at least made with Apocalypse.
>>23951541Waiting for nu-Zaku HG and silently praying for a Dom equivalent as well
>>23951060first time trying this krylon matte topcoat and it works pretty well
also a little photo dump
>>23951684i just noticed that Alex Zero has heterochromia. first in Gundam?
>>23952415Lookin great but you should've given some more attention to the gun
>>23952428Very nice but I thought the sticker was a Spirit Halloween logo at first
>>23952433yeah i should have put a decal on topi also messed up painting the white black triangle on the chest
>>23952437> Spirit Halloween logo lmao fuck i cant unsee it now
>>23952441Unironically If I had more time id love to do a diorama of a post war zeon base thats been spirit halloween'd
But why?
Do you still love me, brother?
>>23952441>>23952440>>23952415>>23952420>>23952428>>23952435I like it alot, where did you get that grim reaper decal?
Do you?
>>23952479>this isnt even my final form
>>23952479>>23952476>>>/toy/
>>23952287>Fuck you.
Scamdai needs to add titty articulation to their upcoming xarx alienpla
>>23952504its mecha
>>23952287It reminds me of Engage Gundam
>>23952295Why does the physical model kit always look so much better than the renders or the art?
>>23952477It came from SIMP decals"A24 EFSF/EFGF GM Special Forces (white dingo)"
>>23952287>that waistyeah, the plot twist is that the Gundam is an alien itself.
Kit when?
>>23951060Just snapshidded my D Gundam Second. Didn't expect it to come with so many extra parts. 2 shotguns is pretty cool.
>>23952287The face would look a lot better without that white chin piece sticking to the red chin
>>23951732>X-3 colorsgreat taste anon
How many RGs with RG get?
>>23952244I thought the Police Zaku was cool...
>>23952244It's literally just a gundvolva in different colors
>>23951476this feels like the safest gundam design I've seen them come up withI still like it alright but what a plain dude, for good and bad. I'll pick one up for sure.
>>23952092The expression is almost good but why is the paint so thick? try thinner layers
>>23952550Close enough. Welcome back evangelion
>>23952639Feels more like Linebarrel to me
>>23952244Witch suffers from the "everything besides the main MS looks like shit". The fact that there are a lot less fights compared to other shows doesn't help.
>>23952642Zowort Heavy is objectively the coolest design in the bunch. Every Gundam in that show including the Zaku/GM/Gyan expy look really forgettable and uninspiring.
>so much flash and rough edges to file down on the dot factory metal frameman I am never getting another one of these things unless I really have to
>>23952646Demi Barding's cool...
>>23952642>>23952646You people are retarded. GWitch has a bunch of great designs.
>>23951186/x/ is my home board, I know this all too well
>>23952287is this the RG grade of the RG gundam haha.....
>>23951619whats this? looks cute :3
>>23952661there's maybe 10 good designs, but they are pretty good. aerial is shit though; lfrith pre production is infinitely better
>>23952675>this design is SHIT>meanwhile, this design which is 99% that other design? infinitely betteryou're a silly billy
>>23952642Never watched G-Witch before, but the only two kits I ever bought from it are the Schwarzette and Lfrith Anavata, and neither are the MC's suits.
isnt there already a new gundam manga? gundam eight or something? why didnt they just animate that? the main gundams look the same
>>23952122NiceI'm jelly, I still need my first
>>23952681>the main gundams look the sameYou're not allowed to say that here. You're just asking for trouble.
>>23952681>the main gundams look the same....how?
>>23951926The actual models do look a bit better, particularly the classic colour scheme one. Having some colour breaking up the greeble and giving your eyes something to hold onto helps a lot.
>>23952681Gundam manga and anime are largely seperate things. I don't know why anyone expected gundam eight to get an anime.
Will Bandai ever get better servers?
>>23952698It's working fine for me
>>23952704Had to use a different browser to get the site to work and even then some of the items would require a refresh to get it to load.
>>23952679nah most of the designs are bad, despite there being many good ones. grassely are all shitpfeil are all goodjeturk is a mixed bag, with the dilanzas being hideous and the rest being decent to okariel is ugly (ariel rebuild is even worse), calibarn is nice, as is gunode. burion fucking suckochs earth is oknot opinion, this is objective fact.
When I wake up tomorrow will GM Quel be released already?
>>23952739nah
>>23952743you can't refute facts
>>23951810>>23951813>>23951816Wow these new RGs are looking great.
>>23952642Darilbalde is great, fuck you
>>23952698you have to clear browser cache sometimes
>>23952642except the main MS looks like shit until it's replaced with calibarn
>>23952895>calibarn>goodthe lengths g-bitch fags would go to stan such a shit design
>>23952934crawl back to your hole pinoy; the adults are talking now.l
>>23952304it is helix looks more standard
so likequestion 1: how are they planning to do the bandages in model kit form?question 2: how the FUCK are they gonna do the arm? Especially when it makes a shape like this in the promo poster???
Okay which one of you schizos did this to our plamo queen?!
>>23952682I heard that Xeku will be reprinted in September. You can wait until then.
It seems there's going to be another company making Hazel kits. When will Zhang gonna make GM Quel bootleg?
>>23952739I'm a big fan of lfrith jjiu from the side manga, too bad its kit does a terrible job at capturing its coolest feature (permet demon face) because they decided to hide it behind the darkest clear plastic ever
>>23952741No you impatient retard stop asking about it
For coming supposedly from the same timeline, you'd think Helix and Zero shares like some kind of similarity but they look nothing alike, exterior wise.
>>23953067That's kinda normal for something with a large time gap, isn't it? UC suits evolve wildly during Zeta alone. 40ish years after oyw and most suits are only vaguely familiar in aesthetics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCOFJtrEXVAnew Kassykino just dropped
G-reco kits are finally getting reprinted. We're so back lads.
they're making Five Star Stories SDs holy shit
>>23953116*shids and cums*
>>23953067RX-78-2 and the Xi Gundam are 26 years apart
>>23953067Sounds like par for course seeing how vastly different the designs are between early UC and late UC
>>23953067They're 90 years apart
New Shokugan Combattler V
Zhang coming out with another bootleg Hazel. This one seems based on the Robot Damashii.
>>23953164If they make kit version for Proto Asshimar, i will cum.
>>23952092>>23952634redid the face and i think it came out clean. what really helped was using a 0.1mm airbrush needle tip for the eyes
>>23953183Where is the skirt?
>>23953194issa wip
>>23953116first good fss kit
>>23953116i like how it just looks like a normal-proportioned mech
>>23953111I will buy one Gaeon for every year I've waited for this
>>23953111G-Arcane here I come. I will not be denied again.
>>23951816Would probably look best in military or drab colors, the traditional colors look like unwiped ass
>>23953116>SDGross. And bad timing to when Volks just dropped this kino.
Those alien bastard stole my neck
>>23953164Its a good thing I didnt buy the other 1/144 bootleg hazel then
>>23953183 That guy has seen some shit
>>23953292pilot of Helix
>>23953292>StoleNobody stole it. It's in the garbage. I'd show you, but it's probably got fries on it by now.
>>23952287This is the robot spirits btwThe actual kit has a ton of stickers and still looks unfinished
New Fenrir variant. I love these Neil Blomkamp inspired designs.
>>23953359Dang, I sort of thought that kit looked a little too good for Bandai's usual 1/144.... Kinda disappointing, this looks a bit like ass. If we're getting a bunch of decals and box-hands it's definitely a skip for me.
>>23953363You thought that looked good? Lmfao snapshitters have the lowest standards
>>23953363>DecalsYou wish.
Sex
>Model tank + mixed media>Looks incredible>Plastic orc + mixed media>Looks incredible>Gunpla + mixed media>Looks like a kid's toy with a cheap background>Best case its a really busy looking city that still reeks of low effortIs it just me or does gunpla lend to less artistic expression? For a fully poseable, easy to assemble model kit that people paint. It tends to just come up at the lower end presentations. Is it the scale? Or do we just not have any elite tryhards like historical and warhammer autists?
>>23953373I'm not trying to cherrypick or put the hobby down either, its just a struggle to find gunpla presentations that look good outside of maybe an aftermarket hangar. Like, warhammer and historical chuds aren't exactly handed an easy hobby, what they dont scavange and scratchbuild, they 3d print. Meanwhile gunpla stuff look half finished and lazy in comparison.
>01 Gundam came in todayYEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI'm looking forward to putting this together when I'm off work tomorrow
>>23953373Gundam is more "for kids" compares to Warhammer and Tanks since the designs were meant for kid's cartoon. You can strip away what feels like toys and add your own twist to the kits if immersion is what you aim for.
>>23953373my guess would be that because gunpla has quite a low barrier to entry compared to scale models and warhammer, it brings the median skill level down. also as a result of the lower barrier to entry the demographic is probably going to skew a bit younger.
>>23953373Gunpla has existed since the 80s so its almost as old as scale modeling and 7 years older than warhammer 40k. Its not that the hobby has failed to produce elites like nightshift or elminaturista, I think the gunpla 'elites' just figured out that gunpla in motion - or worse, interacting with another gunpla just cannot push past the willing suspension of disbelief. That's why the 'best' just have them standing stationary, and have gone from posing and creating dynamic backgrounds, to scaling up and adding as much detail as possible to single pieces. You'll note that you will rarely see two high end gunpla in an action sequence. It just does not work, and always looks 'kiddie' while you can have warhammer bros have a space marine melting a necron to slag and it looks great.
>>23953399Meanwhile, you can take the t-61 and the core booster from the same setting, and it can look 'real'. Take a PG Nu gundam, put some crew around it. Nah, no one buys in, good looking 'toy' though.
>>23953359damn this sucks, i really thought they stepped up with the proportions
>>23953407The shins look especially shitty. So many panel lines but they were too lazy to introduce much in the way of part separation. Its like bandai has given up on producing something good or revolutionary, and are just trying to make shit that's hard to bootleg.
>>23953390I wouldn't call the pics anon posted low skilled. I just find those robots to look out of place when you put them in photo realistic mocked up environment.
wip pic
>>23953399Scale modeling has been around since the 1930s, however it only become a staple in pop culture after world war 2 when humanity finally stopped killing each other on a large scale.>You'll note that you will rarely see two high end gunpla in an action sequence. It just does not work, and always looks 'kiddie'Alot of diorama builders make this. The problem is that they always make their build extremely sterile and it takes away the grittiness of the story telling. >Yeah these guys are beating each other to death, but one needs more panel lines, golden rivets and the other needs to be in America flag colorscheme.
>>23953399>It just does not work, and always looks 'kiddie'Meanwhile try to add some weathering and you get obligatory "ACKHUALY gundams are supposed to be perfectly clean and sparkle because that's how it looks in my Japanese animays, there is no dirt in space and no filth will ever reach 20m tall machine!".
>>23953430It just lacks commitment I think. Aside from some weathering, both kits in that pic look like they just left the factory for the first time. Not to mention that the modeller spent zero effort in concealing they 'toyness' and 'out-of-boxness'. A 40kchud would not tolerate the gundam's hand position, he would snip, and cement, and greenstuff until it looks like a proper hand pose instead of just using the base open palm and tilting the thumb a little and calling it a day. The gundam's elbow, thigh and knee joints and the z'goks circular vents, waist and torso joint also scream 'toy' all that effort adding pla plates, LEDs and decals and the builder just said 'yep' thats what came out of box so it'll do'. A historical modeler would 3d print, or scratchbuild some mechanisms that would make it look like a a proper mechanism at great time and financial expense until the job is truly done.
>>23953436I've seen some pretty impressive ground type builds where they spent a lot of effort adding zimmerit and grime to the leg area because plasuibly, that's as high as dirt/enemy infantry would plausibly reach.
>>23953363>>23953359this is the gundam universe figure you illiterate retards
>>23952664/x/ used to be fun like 10-15 years ago now it's just a role-playing forum for mentally ill teenagers and kidults
>>23953442And they won't kneel, ever. Or get hit in chest or arms. Actually, they won't because they don't exist and never will be so there is no point in keeping it all 200% realistic. At the end of the day, it all goes down to what looks "cool" and what viewer expect.
Are Miniplas as bad as Shokugan Modeling Project kits? The plastic quality on those is absolute garbage, not to mention the undergates and prepainted parts
>Warlord titan>Looks cool>Imperial knight>Looks cool>Wraithlord>Looks absolutely retarded>Dreadknight>Looks like a child's toyI think it could also be the proportions. Robots with human proportions just don't look all that good in motion, while a hunchback toaster with giant bear claws sort of looks ok.
>monster hunter plamoit's habbening
>>23953455
>>23953431should i add some bulletholes with a drill
>>23951058Should I do a clear topcoat on a fully assembled kit or should I do each individual piece before putting it together? like assemble the foot, top coat, assemble the leg, top coat, assemble foot and leg etc etc?
>>23953455>statueshitShould have just added the license to the 30MF fantasy line like they did Samurai Troopers.
>>23953462its a question of how autistic you are. topcoating the whole figure is the more sloppy variant but will usually suffice truth be told
>>23953464Nah I'm glad they did it this way. Better than having a bunch of retarded doll joints making it look like a children's toy. Articulationfags can fuck off.
>>23953465hmmm okay im thinking just like each limb being top coated separately before assembly
>>23953469To each their own, but personally, If I wanted a statue of a monster hunter wyvern, I'd get a resin one in a respectable size. Not some cheap plastic desktop scale bullshit. Looks like a misplaced d&d miniature.
>>23953462The only reason to topcoat a fully assembled kit is when you want to save money on supplies.
>>23953447sounds like the entirety of this website
>>23951060Chinkodingo.
>>23953464>>23953455monster hunter fucking sucks
>>23953519You fucking suck
>>23953527not wrong, but I still suck less than monster hunter and its fans do
GQ Hambrabi is on Newtype>>23951159>>23951296>>23951842She's beautiful
>>23953462Just do it as subassemblies and if there are any large joints/panels move them and hit the areas that were previously covered up.Individual piece top coating is retarded. If you are going to do that you might as well paint.
I've done my part and have three Den'an Zons coming to me. and a Crossbone Vanguard t-shirt, what a rad design, almost didn't see it.Come on Bandai, give me the Berga Giros next year, you can do it. What've you ordered lately?
MG Turn X for $67.46 @ GalaticToys with code JULY10
>>23953362wish Sheik Mainland would try a 1/100 kit or anything bigger than what they've been doing. No idea how those joints hold up under higher weights though.
>>23951367still asking for help with my kitbash revive Ginn
>>23953399>Resin kitOh that's why this FA Thunderbolt Gundam looks better.
>>23953622I don't know if I understand what you're asking honestly, a little confused.If I understand you want to take the HG GINN and combine it with something to make a what-if UC GINN?
i was originally gonna add light grey accent colors but i think im calling it finished
Slime got giant ass legs man
>>23953399I've been doing this for a year or so now, and I've been an action pose kind of guy the entire time. But I'm on the verge of just Katoki posing everything, if only to save space.
>>23953655>finished>no zimmerit???
>>23953698zimmerit didn't actually work as the germans added an antimagnetic mine coating and were the only people to actually develop magnetic antitank mines for the war (UK and slavs just used adhesives)
>>23953698NTA, it is common for Breda builds to have smooth surface. I haven't see a single Breda with zimmerit.
>>23953715It does work when you look up the test videos on youtube. The problem is that the putty makes the tank much heavier than needed and magnetic anti tank mine was not a common thing. In context of scifi robot, you can throw all of that historical context out of window.
>>23953655The paint is subjective cause i'm not the one to talk but the pose looks too awkard. You should remove the limbs and glue them again in slighty different positions.
>>23953717no, it literally didn't work as no one even bothered to use the mines it was supposed to defeat except for the germans themselves. typical german invention in search of a problem.
>>23953721A guy tried to burn it and it didn't catch fire, modern magnet doesnt work 70 years old putty too. It works as intended, just unecessary.

>>23953725This shit is why none of the diorama looks good.
The diecast inner frame and the one of the red comet sinanju are almost identical
>>23953733I see why the red comet is frowned upon, the thighs balljoint conectores to the waist are SUPER TIGHTthe fit is such they are pretty much rendered immobile and being mere ABS plastic they are prone to breaking easilyThe diecast frame bypasses this by using metal for the balljoints with a piece of POM plastic sandwiches between
>moderoid>color separationDOUBT.the design looks super cool though. better than that golden robot from FSS.
speaking of FSS. chinese MGSD release announced.
>>23953724>create anti mag coating to defend your tanks against the weaponry of your enemies>enemies just used adhesive grenades they had been developing from the outset of the war without even knowing what your coating was for>coating does not work for the sole purpose it was intendedit didn't work
>>23953747It's not even that it didn't work; a smoke grenade was sufficent to set Panthers and Tigers on fire if you just threw it on the engine deck. t. French postwar evaluations
>>23953747>sword does not work because no one fight war with it anymore
>>23953749t. I read one blogspot
>>23953755yes. in 99% of cases a sword would be completely useless on a modern battlefield. any army that issued swords in a war from 1938 onward would determine them to be a failed procurement. japs just use them to commit suicide and execute prisoners. inb4 mad jack meme.

>The bad ones with putty survives till modern day>The "good ones" didn't Really makes you think

r8 my SD. Was trying out AK weathering pencils for the first time, initially intended for a more photorealistic effect but desu i like how it came out looking like a drawing from a comic book
>>23953870I think it came out well, it's hard to mess up with weathering pencils.
>>23953648parts from kits that mechanically look just enough like GINN parts to make something of a de facto revive
>>23953886I'd look at some of the Origin kits I guess, some of those might have pretty similar arm and thigh proportions for joint replacements off the top of my head

Can you buy replacement stickers if you fuck up real bad? I destroyed the eyes sticker for my HG Zeta Gundam, although I kinda like the look of it without the sticker as well.
>>23953507What kit?
>>23954005Depends on where you live I guess. Though you can try making a makeshit one by covering the entire eye area with green stickers and then paint the area surrounding the eyes black.Or you can always try painting the eyes green instead, but for the life of me I couldn't make eye paints to be as shiny as stickers, which was why I used the makeshift method in the first place.
