>>24012527>>24012530Did they give it a new box art like all the other trans-am MGs (except 00R for some reason)?
>>24012536
My custom of the 30MF Liber Lancer for a local groupbuild competition.It's pretty much ready to be painted now.
>>24012538So no, lame
tfw you wanna change up the poses in your girlpla shelf to give them more cool and dynamic poses so you strip them of their equipment first to get the articulation right. But then you see the curves and the instinctual monkey lizard part of your brain takes over.God dammit me, you were supposed to make them look like they're in the middle of a John Woo Close Quarters Gunfight.
>>24012569You must have a sad life
>>24012507Every OYW Zeon MS is a symptom of The Gay
>>24012539Good luck man. What's the big gun in his right hand from?
>>24012569
>>24012594All the weapons on this kit are from the gunpla option parts set 12.They're all really fucking cool.
>>24012569What Bandai falls behind in terms of articulation, I always thought that they had better thigh-ass sculpting compared to Kotobukiya. Gaps aren't as blatant too.
>>24012602>Kotobukiya has better joints than BandaiHave they stopped being rickety hollow shit or something? The last female figure I got from them was a Fag and it sucked. In fact I'd say all the kits I got from them are.Hard thin plastic. No subframe. Meh tolerances.
Why Bandai doesn't just make RG Mighty Strike Freedom kit instead of pricey MGEX kit?
>>24012602Bandai will never go sexier than that because they have to appeal to the western and global audiences too! same reason why recent 30MS girls wear spats
>>24012616Bandai would rather make a 2.0 RG Strike Freedom, and obviously they wont do that becausw it costs money to produce
I went looking at Jegan variants last night. I did not realize there was not one, but 3 F91 variants. It didn't look like they have been reprinted since before 2020 on P Bandai though sadly. I also didn't realize that the General Revil Jegans had the updated Jegan shield from that already. I'm a bit surprised as I would think a shield upgrade would have happened later.
I really hope Gqux gets MGs someday. Built the HG and its clear the design is too detailed to look good in 1/144.
>>24012644>I really hope Gqux gets MGs somedayHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>24012644at the same time the HGs are more high quality than some Revives
>>24012525>>24012526What do you get when you mix a Zogok with Federation design sensibilities, Patlabor and (failed) Robocop 2? Still needs hands (the Zogok has those) but the hammer parts I used for the forearms have no ports for hands yet. Kits used are mostly Zogok with Gustav Karl bits and a sprinkle of whatever I had that that fit the look.
Was Advance of Zeta ahead of it's time?
Finally bought an airbrush and decided to settle with acrylic because I don't want to deal with mask and ventilation. How long for acrylic primer to fully cure and harden? is it really much weaker compared to lacquer? i left a part primed for 24 hours and the paint scratched after i attempted to assemble and dissamble for test fit.
Is the Pale Rider good, or worth it because P-BandaiThere's a space type..
>>24012654Fuck you for mutilating a beautiful Zeon MS
>>24012660Primer is just easier to scratch than paint in general. The primer is there for tougher paint layers to stick to.You should still ventilate your work area. Point a fan out a window. You're gonna cover your house in sticky acrylic dust.
>>24012527Pictures like these always make me want to do a melee-focused custom build with huge sword knees.>>24012616Don't worry, it'll be a P-Bandai exclusive that just adapts the HGCE parts. And it'll be an entire kit on its own rather than an expansion pack so you'll need to buy the entire RG Strike Freedom all over again even if you already owned one.
>>24012660Yes acrylic really is that weak. You have to be very gentle with it. Once it's fully painted and varnished it's more resistant, but you should be extremely careful with chemical products. Stuff like mark setter/softer can instantly annihilate all water-based acrylic paint, no matter the amount of layers. Always test something on a hidden spot before using it for real.
>>24012672Mark softer fucks up most paints. That stuff is evil.
>>24012674My Tamiya acrylics survived it perfectly fine
>>24012539Get pics of the event if you can anon
>>24012680You're lucky. It reactivates those pretty much instantly.
>>24012660>bought an airbrush>decided to settle with acrylic
>>24012569>right girlgiwiwh
>>24012688If you can't do a good paintjob with acrylics you're a bad painter.
>>24012654Very cool leg mod
>>24012688NTA but acrylics make sense for staring out. requires much less of an initial money and space investment since you're not dealing with harsh chemicals and you can use the same paints for airbrushing and brush painting. yeah they're harder to use and are prone to clogging but if you can airbrush acrylics you can deal with anything, it's like learning to drive on a manual.
>>24012699I'm glad gpg talked me into just going with the DCT transmission of lacquers. I get to be so lazy yet get such smooth coats...
>>24012699Decent water based acrylics are also really easy to find in person too. It's nice to be able to just go out and get a color you need instead of waiting a week for it to arrive.
Got selected to participate in this Gundam Assemble campaign where they send advanced gunpla builders a Zaku mini and then you paint it and mail it back to them or some shit for them to display it at some competition or something like that I guess. I truly am the best builder in /gpg/.
>>24012714Don't u have to put the mini up your butthole? it should be in the T&C small text
>>24012699>they're harder to use and are prone to cloggingHow are they harder to use? also i just clean them with IPA and almost never clog
>>24012716Luckily I'm used to working with master grades, so fitting a mini up my big brown stinker should be no problem.
>>24012717I'm not him but water based acrylics level themselves out worse and the clearcoats are a lot harder to get good finishes with. They're also a lot more picky about thinning since water has way more surface tension than lacquer thinners.
>>24012665It's not the first time...>>24012695Thank you. The Karl legs don't fit together well with a Zogok knee shoved in, but the gaps will be covered with additional parts.
>>24012644One Gquacks MGSD coming right up!
>>24012728I wouldn't be shocked. They already did a gquuuuuux SD design for the card game.
I hope all the cunts that were re-selling this for almost 200$ in the last few years fucking neck themselves
>>24012745It's a good kit but it's not 200 dollars good. Glad it got reprinted.
Sheik Mainland is going to release an even smaller version of their 3 Min Project Xenostrike kithttps://x.com/KRW_KRW_KRW/status/2097663610889846911
Here the zaku f2 with acrylic primer, sprayed a few thin coats again to hide some scratches, and maybe i will pain it on weekend
>>24012749ANYTHING but making them biggerHow are they so retarded
>>24012755They're just trying to muscle in on hexagear too.
>>24012717Your surface prep also matters way more. The sanding doesn't really need to be done with lacquers
>>24012749Any news on this one? and the other fatso not Turn A robot?
>>24012745What did you pay for it?
>>24012761No, but this guy did get a physical sample of the Buck II, so that one should be available soonhttps://x.com/KRW_KRW_KRW/status/2097703052748918976
>>24012619Explain the next 30MS wearing panties and harem silks, then.
>>24012749Do you get like 3-5 of them in one box?
>>24012766Without shipping around 76$, converted from eurobucks
Do I panel line a Jegan in black or brown?
>>24012781Consider gray
>>24012524is there any sort of website where I can build 30MM stuff and see what parts I need for builds? Sorta like lego builder but for 30 minute stuff
>>24012793Contrary to what Bandai's factories and release plans may suggest, no one actually gives a shit about 30MM, so I doubt such a resource exists currently.
>>24012606You must not have built their newer stuff, it’s peak and relaxing builds. With how easy they are.
Most recent finished build. Pretty cool when Chinese kits don’t overdo like they like
>>24012801Need to find a US retailer with this guy still in stock. Looks like a fun kit
>>24012781Blue
>>24012801Oh I'm getting ready to build the Amuro version of this kit next. Anything you think I should know beforehand?
>>24012745>NOOOOO YOU CANT JUST SELL SOMETHING FOR WHAT ITS WORTH, YOU HAVE TO SELL IT TO ME FOR THE EXACT SAME PRICE YOU BOUGHT IT FOR WAAAAAHholy lmfao
>>24012806Scalper hands typed this
>>24012797I'm not interested in 30MM but I do like their 30MF line and want to mix and match some 30MM parts into them
Every mobile suits in wing deserves an RG. Especially the Leo
>>24012816All the showrunners from every show deserves an RG or PG. I mean come on that was the main selling point of each entry why not. Do we really really need another strike or my?
>>24012810Yeah and proud of it
>>24012822Are you gonna freak out about nobody buying anything from your gay ebay "store" again any time soon?
>>24012804Besides the typical 3rd party kit stuff, like sanding joint areas and stuff nah. The kit also comes with water slides and an LED.
>>24012825I don't use ebay, I have a friend who owns a store in Canada who lets me offload my P-Bandai stuff on him
>>24012831How do you get your stock? I typically get em from import then sell em. I got lucky selling a GM Quel just before the reprint lol
>>24012634the Jegan Type D model used heavily in Unicorn was a multipurpose model with improved modularity for multiple missions. the General Revil A2 type Jegan shares some parts with the F91 Jegans and was supposed to be a higher performance dedicated space model, which was a precursor to the F91 Jegans.
>>24012806>NOOOO YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME THREE TIMES THE PRICE ITS WORTH JUST BECAUSE I'M A CUNTlol eat shit loser
>>24012835I live in the US so I get it directly from P-Bandai, meet him at a border town and do a little drug dealer handoff. Easy money for both of us.
>>24012825Not the guy you're replying to (but maybe the guy you're talking about?) but I wouldn't exactly say "nobody" is buying from my eBay store.
>>24012836Is the green one there the D model or the F91 TypeA? I've never found a good visual comparison image.
>>24012842Prove why you deserve it and I'll sell it to you at a lower price. That's what the 'Or Best Offer' system is for. You can include a message with your offer.
>>24012849yes, it needs paint on the shoulders, leg thrusters and shield to look accurate. kind of bland out of the box...
>have the GP02 (MLRS)>like the GP02>tempted to get an enemy for it to bully>the standard clean and neat GP01>vs the version that can actually operate in space>or the subsequent and strongest one, upgrade vs upgrade, except it will never get its fuck-huge mobile armorThe only other 0083 kit I have is the literal SD Neue Ziel so I feel a bit bad
>>24012852nobody asked you effeminate faggot
>>24012844Lol pretty funny and goated, my way I research which p-Bandai kits are actually popular and will sell fast. But yea I’m US too, Texas. No homie to drug deal off too
Is the HGUC Zaku II FZ any goodI'm tempted to pick one up, for no fucking reason
>>24012860>scalper vermin is from t*xasAs expected
>>24012854>Is it A or B>Yes but it needs paintAlso I assumed it needed some paint considering the normal HGUC Jegan needs like 7 spots of yellow already.
>>24012872Every single model ever needs paint.
>>24012846600 dollars in three months is really bad
>>24012876it's not my job or even a source of income. it's my way of getting kits for free and making you guys pay for it.
>>24012879Chang is the only one I allow to scalp me though
>>24012875Still doesn't answer if it is an F91 Jegan or not.
>>24012654Hey, this is cool. Love it anon.
>>24012891A-type gets the big bulging legs and shoulders with armour removedB-type has normal limbs but rockets on the hipsIt's the A-type
The newer megami device kits are kinoAnd they have me by the wallet
>>24012526I have all the decals for the MK III done. I still need to do a coat of gloss varnish, panel line, add details then topcoat the pieces before I put it back together.
>>24012914I kind of want the red mk III.
>>24012907i look like this irl.
>>24012926If only.
>>24012914why didn't they never release a version with four eyes
>>24012644No one gets MGs any more bro. Except for sneed. You will get one UC RG per year and you will LIKE IT
>>24012852>Prove why you deserve itI don't have to prove anything to a subhuman like you, now go cry to your boyfriend that you can't scam people
>>24012904Going to assume this means F91 Type A and not the D type from Unicorn then. I need to find a Jegan Chad to line all HG Jegans up for a photo.
>>24012917You could get the regular one and just paint it red
>>24012940D type has completely different shoulder armor and front skirts
>>24012940D types have the equipment-latch style shoulders, every D type is easily ID'd by that. Their head is also different too but those shoulders give away the D type easily. Only thing that will trip you up is the Stark Jegans also use those shoulders to mount their missile pods.I think somewhere schizophonic has a full group picture and I'm sure some others do too but here's a lineup of what are basically the main fundamental patterns (though -D is missing). https://schizophonic9.com/re9/hguc_jegana2.htmlMuch more comparison pics in the review that will highlight some of the details.
So what RGs will actually be worthwhile at 1/100 scale? Aren't Ground Gundam, Zgok and Sinanju in need of MG 2.0s?
How long should I wait after applying Tamiya's panel liner before I try cleaning it up?
>>24012926Genetic lottery W for you. Feel free to flex on the unfortunate
>>24012948You only need to give it a minute or two before it's good to start cleaning up. Fine to let it sit longer though.
>>24012947Well they already put the Grandpa 2.0, God and Zeong there. Ground would be great, The GP01 would be baller, but that may be harder for the Chinese to do for reasons. Maybe for others the RG’s that have nothing at that scale, so Mina and Akatsuki astrays.
Got me a vengeance for $65 on sale. I'm pretty happy catching something below msrp for once. I hope the accessory packs for these kits were easier to find.
>>24012947Why would you want a worse 1/100 sinanju? The original kit is fantastic.
>>24012948Eleven years
>>24012947shining
>>24012947Shining and Epyon would be nice at that scale. Shining mg is old af
The Chinese not-Jesta not-GM feels wrong.
>>24012968Chinese ultra detail seems more justified for late UC.
>>24012968i don't like the jesta or gm but these legs are OFF
>kits arriving tomorrow>just wanna go to sleep for like 24 hours to have themfuck work and shit
>>24012972Just sleep at work??
>>24012972I get it. I have black sofubi paint arriving tomorrow and all I wanna do it use it.
>>24012606>Girls in mecha cosplay>SubframeI can't tell if you are a bot or just a retard
>>24012968I would absolutely give this guy feet widening surgery. Cut it in half, stuff some in the center, a bit to keep the ankle joints tight, then it'll look fine. Some of the guns would also have to go. I'd probably give it just one rifle held in both hands while the shield is attached to the lefty (or jesta style if it has a backpack sub arm) and ditch the rest of the guns. I'm autistic so to me, a grunt, even an SF grunt, should only have one main weapon then its melee.
>>24012968>>24012971The tiny feet don't help.
>>24012971>i dont like the je-No one cares
I will never get over the fact that Koto made a genderbend Hideo Kojima. Le Creatividad looks so fuckable.
>>24012606Do you think bandai makes a "subframe" for their girls?
>>24012995i need to get that kit somedayi would love it if girlpla in general had more of this vibe insteadof the megami device/30ms zeitgeist
>>24012999Don't you know, anon? If a girpla doesn't have diecast joint, highly detailed photo realistic skeleton and intestine then it is a bad one.
>>24012619damn look at those spats >>24012569
>>24013002Yoji Shinkawa designed Ludens girl by himself so she looks abit different compares to the ones by Nidy and Fumikane. Definitely one of the more artistic design of the genre.
>>24012947Mk. II could be cool I guess
>>24013002stuff like ludens or megalomaria are actally cool but the other like, 95% of girlpla that's just a normal girl with a bunch of mechanical nonsense strapped to her back and limbs does nothing for me
>>24013015Fumikane and Akitaka set the foundation to what mecha girls look like so it is no surprise how that design language became the standard. >MegalomariaKoto was cooking some hot shit in the first few years but the line has fallen to that classical mecha girl nonsense again in the current year.
>>24012995Variant kit of that Machu when
>>24013030She's compatible with 30MS bodies. You could get the bikini one and the hotpants from another girl to recreate her bikini.
>>24013033I still need to get the parts for SulettaI still need to build Suletta and deal withboth the decals and molded/textured/whatever stickers
>>24013034The pop decals are actually incredibly easy to apply. Do not worry about that too much.
>>24013035Thank you, that's very assuringCan you apply the water decals for me
>>24013036Those are pretty easy too.
>>24013034Suletta, eh?
>>24012984>What are bones>What are frames inside the mech parts
>>24013038Oh>>24013039YEAH... wait FUCK I thought these were 30MS parts I could just staple onto SulettaAlso what am I going to do with her beheaded handless school torso
>>24013040Girlpla do not contain bones>>24013042I keep my spare girlpla parts in a tacklebox organizer.
>>24013045>I keep my spare girlpla parts in a tacklebox organizer.I only have Tiasha and Lacus, so their accessories go in a lil box together, I might pick up another 30MS though if I'm feeling boldReally iffy about buying 30MS or 30MM (just an Iglight for now) parts though, I feel the cost is going to start racking up as I get crazy ideas
>>24012858>>24012936Stay man bitchtards
>>24013058>Stay manwe will, troon
Can the HGUC Stark Jegan's armor bits all come off, so I'm left with what looks mostly like a regular Jegan? Am I better off getting one of those?
>>24012947>SkygrasperPossibly, if they did it with the specific aim of making the Launcher/Sword components compatible with Aile Strike RM>Gundam Mk-II, both AEUG and TitansUnless Bandai are preparing a Ver. Ka, the Mk-II is in desperate need of an update.>DestinyThe existing Destiny is quite old, so an upscaled RG might be worthwhile, so long as they also do the wings of light and Palma Fiocina.>GP01 + Full VernianSeems like it would be a natural outgrowth due to the existence of the Solomon GP02.>Z'GokThe existing MG is from fucking 2003.>Wing EWI mean, maybe?

>koto rusty is fuck hueg>worse articulation than the bandai versionLmao
>>24013040This might sound strange to you but not everyone are Mastergrade fantatics who cry like a bitch when they don't see the useless grey pastic under the flap. >What a bonesPlastic toys. Who gives a fuck?
>>24013002Not hard to shit out your own custom of something like this desu bro
>>24013042You can buy a separate head for her, like Sousai or Megami kits. I do it often
>>24013082>AC>Good articulationLol. Lmao even.
Ahh no lie bros might get HG Hazel. Something about the Hazel is kinda interesting, the AoZ kits are very different in a good way. That Stardust memory in between Zeta era was peak
>>24013097>I am considering buying a kitNo one cares faggot.
>>24013097The engineering is not very good so don't get your expectation too high.
>>24013095The Melander's pretty solid.
I have 70$ Amazon rewards what do I spend it on?
>>24013067You will get an Ecoas Jegan with skirt.
>>24013114As many sheets of pla plate as you can get.
>>24013114On amazon resale there's a turn X gundam for 62 dollars someone returned.
>>24012524Has anyone made any jestas or other EFF grunt suits with funnels?
>>2401310830mm Melander makes me feel nostalgic because it has the same articulation as a 2000 HG
>>24013114buy me a mg
>>24013108yeah, a solid BRICKstill love him though
>>24013108even snail's fat fuck ac has more articulation than melander. As in it's arms can more than 90 degree whilst melander can barely get a 90
>>24013134Lol, even 19 years old Gelgoog Cannon has better posability than Melander, which to be fair, do AC even move at all? They rely on thrusters to do almost everything.
>>24013091true, true
>>24013137i mean they have basic articulation. But due to how ac's are designed they actually have better clearance than most gendum designs
>>24013105Oh No, it’s an oldie you go in with low expectations, but I’m not a snap fitter, so O don’t mind paint and shit
Armored Cores are like human fat fucks. A 90 degree squat is the best they can do.
>>24013144Good luck painting the saggy joints away kek.
>>24013097>>24013105It's a decent kit even by today's standardsYou're gonna want to tighten those hips, though.
>>24013116Damn, I can't remove the chestplate? This looks a bit plain... oh it's not panel-lined>love the minty green>love the military green on zakus>but the ECOAS JeganHmm... I need to do a big think on this one>>24013094Wait what, they've been selling just heads?
>>24013149>It's a decent kit even by today's standardsAlot of today's kits are floppy as fuck so that's not saying much. Fixxing Hazel Custom's joint is abit tricky because they are all polycaps, you need to paste tamiya white cap cement on them because for some reason regular paint doesn't work that great on polycap joints tightening but cement does. Painting Hazel is not that difficult to be honest because this kit has great part separation.
>>24013154Jegan has almost zero panel line so it is gonna look plain without Stark Jegan armor. And yes, the torso is a solid piece. If you remove the armor, it is gonna leave 2 bare pegs. The thing has spare parts to build standard Jegan head so it is not too bad.
>>24013164Forgot pic
Hobby Lobby has Balls of Steel.
>>24013168is this dust or botched paintjob?
>>24013168flat-chested jegan... uuuoh
>>24013173Both. I want to start over with a 2nd Stark Jegan but i'm considering painting something else aka Gelgoog.
They haven't announced the next ZZ HG after the Gallus right?
>>24013179HG Hamma Hamma
>>24013181Oh. I would've preferred something else since the Hamma Hamma already has the RE100 but I'll take it.
>>24013184>>24013181Geymark when?
>>24013172What's the sticker price? I've considering getting a ver.ka or that 1/60 KO.
>>24013185It just got announced actually. But as a figure because you Gunplafag are niggercattle.
>>24013164>>24013168>almost zero panel line Wait what about the lil dots on the shoulders and skirts>weird chestHm. Does it come with the visor as well for the regular Jegan head?>podsI do love it on the GM III but here it's... hm. I need to think even harderer on this one>>24013185Isn't the Geymark rather large>>24013188>we got a Quin Mantha, Geymark, and a Great Zeong for the $83,000 metal toy line before we got one for gunpla>people with literally 0.1 IQ will still say "just buy the toy if you can't custom-build one"
>>24013185They will probably make it soon, or you can say, Chara Soon.
>>24013188>justyou're retarded this is old as fuck
>>24013189>Isn't the Geymark rather large22 meters tall head heigh. The HG would be around 15cm tall or something, it is not gonna be too big. Queen Mansa is the real difficult one.
>>24013190I want a re/100 one more than a high grade.
everyone HG ZZ announcement that isn't the Gazowmn causes us to stray further from the light
>>24013193How big could it possibly be...
AoZ or Sentinel. One of them gets erased forever, along with all its kits. Choose.
>>24013199I sacrifice myself so they can both stay
>>24013199Well i would be sad if Sentinel kits are all go...>Overpriced but janky MGs>Rare HGs that are barely reprintedEhhh on second thought, Sentinel can go.
>>24013197around 27 to 30cm tall
>>24013199SEED and Wing.
>>24013199AoZ easily, there's like two decent designs
>>24013206SEED and 00
>>24013202You would betray /gpg/'s fan favorite beloved MG Mk. V so easily?
>>24013208Well fuck you, i want Advanced Marasai and Hazel Custom to stay
>>24013184What options do they have?>GeymalkI'm honestly kind of surprised it doesn't have a kit already, but given how fuckhueg it is it would probably be Psyco Gundam Mk-II tier expensive.>Quin ManthaAnother one that's mobile armor tier that would require a decent amount of commitment from Bandai, but it's one of the Final Bosses of ZZ and Puru-affiliated, not to mention Kshatriya-adjacent.>MP QubeleySeems like a decent option, especially if they can use runners from the Qubeley Revive. More stuff for Puru is always fun.>Gaza-DAnother good candidate, especially since it also appears in Unicorn and that would give Bandai an excuse for yet another P-Bandai Unicorn kit.>Ga-ZowmnSame as above, it gets a bit more action in Unicorn as well.>CapuleIt's a fucking crime this doesn't have a kit already. Maybe they're scared that people will demand a Kapool afterward.>DwadgeThe HGUC Dom is quite old, so who knows, they might have to develop new runners and then eventually do a Dom Revive, or do the Revive first and then a P-Bandai Dwadge after.>Jamru FinEh, maybe? It didn't get a lot of screen time.>Zaku IIIIt has a HGUC kit already, but it's an ancient one from 2000, a revive might eventually be in order but that's probably low on Bandai's priority list.>BawooAnother candidate for a Revive, so probably not for a long while.>AgguguyLol.>Desert ZakuMaybe? Again, it sees action in Unicorn so there's high potential for P-Bandai scumming.>CatlI really want to see this just for shits and giggles. Yeah, it's a 30 meter tall monstrosity, but come on, it's from the Moon Moon arc, how can you say no?>>24013187About $39 or thereabouts, so you're probably looking at $25 after discount and taxes.
>>24013172>GQ zakuI hope mine has some next time I'm there. I need a few for the groupbuild.
>>24013213Geywalk is like, slightly shorter than Messer lmao
>>24013204>have my handy Mk-II near me at all times>it's going to be 48 times the size of thatHow big's the Neo Zeong again, because holy siht
>>24013216Neo Zeong got a pass because Unicorn was a massive hit. A HG Queen Mantha would be as big as Psycho MKII, but 3 times bulkier due to the shoulders.
I hope the Ver Kondoh line means we get a G-Drei model kit someday
>>24013222WaitBut we did get a Psyco Mk-IiSo there's a chance!!!
>>24013215It also has a fuckload of funnels, and you know for sure they're going to make the finger cannons fully articulated.
>>24013233Never stop believing, don't let doomfaggots keep you down
>>24013233Will anon get his HG Quin Mantha? Evens, yes. Odds, no.
>>24013233Gundam sells. Quin Mantha isn't a Gundam.
>>24013204psycho gundam mkii was only a year ago. were bound for another big hg soon.
>>24012526I am back after an almost 2 year hiatus. have many things changed in /gpg/ since I've been gone? I used to post quite a bit on here. Anyway, heres my Atlas Gundam in banana boat mode. I normally research finished builds to take inspiration from before I build that same kit, but surprisingly nobody posts the Altas in boat mode, so here it is, thing was a real pain in the ass for my first kit back.
the next big HG will be something retarded like that SEEDslop gundam that transforms into a battleship
>>24013246
>>24013244Yes it is. Here is also my Nintendo.
>>24013245They were obviously gonna make Psycho MKII since Typhoeus Chimera. Quin Mantha's biggest challenge is that it is not a Gundam and Bandai hate such thing. Even the latest giant clusterfuck has a Gundam inside it.
>>24013204they could always shrink that thing a bit. i swear destroy was bigger in the anime yet the hg is relatively conservative in size.
>>24013255i'll give you that. But they already made rd big zam. What's stopping them from just tweaking it into a hg
>>24013238Yeah!!!>>24013242>Evens, yes.>>24013244It's not about the name, V-fins, or face, being a Gundam is about the spirit.
>>24013258>What's stopping thembandai genuinely hates you.
>>24013258The RD people will spend hundreds on a figure and gunpla fans will spend the rest of their lives screeching over something costing a few too many dollars.
>>24013021Funny when Koto is also distributing Starflower Lily in Japan, which can actually pass as one of their Megalomaria kit.
https://x.com/HobbySite/status/2097882851270357083Okay, anon, you win.
>>24013315What gets shown at these events? Just Gundam or will Figurise be there too?
>>24013319Hopefully those too, figure-rise makes my dick rise
>>24013196Agreed.
>>24013319Last year they announced a new MG, RG, several HGs, 30MM, 30MF, 30MP and a new pokepla. You can realistically expect one of everything again this year.
>>24013196This is Bandai, they'll instead announce a P-Bandai MG Gazowmn, not elaborate why they decided that, then never reprint it again
>>24013337I wanna disagree with you but you're fucking right
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GWL2NdSmyM
>>24013143I don't understand what this means
>>24013355What an ugly piece of shit (derogatory).
>>24012995not some troon fantasy shit, original character by yoshi designed as first pass at who the studio mascot could be
>>24013355>>24013359Even if it looks overdetailed, the proportions just feel off, why are his knees that lowAlso why did his big ears get neutered
>>24013355Why must you sully my eyes with such slop?
>>24013355I think this looks really good. Might be the first third party kit I ever buy.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vEWlt2y0zcw
>>24013204>>24013193LIES!!! Quin Mantha is not that big!!!
>>24013410uh huh
Panel lining really does make a difference. First time so it's undoubtedly rough around the edges, but still enjoyed doing it. Looking forward to revisiting my previous builds.
>>24013410It's 39.2 meters at the head, slightly less than Psyco Mk-II's 39.98 meters, but it more than makes up for it with the huge wing and back binders. It would be about 29 cm tall in 1/144 scale, which dwarfs the Zeta Gundam's 13.8 cm.Bandai would essentially have to dedicate Destroy Gundam tier resources to develop the thing, and ship it in a PG-sized box. Even for a Zeta-era UC kit that's quite risky, they would need to be in stupidly good financial shape to even consider it. Maybe after the MGEX Mighty Strike Freedom pads their coffers to high heaven.
They don't have to make it exactly to the usual scale, as in not 1/144 or 1/100. If I recall the New Zeal was some weird scale as well. Or they can make 2 versions, 1 being a smaller one for people who just want a kit of it in a reasonable size and 1 bigger ones who want consistent scale.
>>24013422>Bandai would essentially have to dedicate Destroy Gundam tier resources to develop the thing, and ship it in a PG-sized boxok so all stuff they've done before for an HG, got it
>>24013431You do realize that the Destroy Gundam is a design from Gundam Seed, and by default that means that it's going to completely sell out no matter how absurd a price Bandai sets for it, right? Why do you think they're already going to get away with the MGEX Mighty Strike Freedom?
>>24013431HG Psycho Gundam came out in 2004, HG Psycho Mark II came out in 2025. At this rate, you can expect HG Quin Mantha to be released in ~2045 which is in time to celebrate the 60th anniversary of ZZ.
>>24012526BEEG GUN. The handle is a little loose despite the modifications to fit lupus' hands but I think a few paint layers will fix it. Holds fairly well despite that. Only painting left to do
>>24013330And maybe a non-Gundam HG. Say, we get Dragonar's 40th anniversary and Gundam 00's 20th anniversary next year, what will you expect in All Japan? Honestly, not much for the former, but hopefully the HGAD Exia and Over Flag, as well as MGs of either the Reborns Gundam or Cherudim Gundam. If I want something out of Dragonar, it will have to be revealed during Sunrise Robot Laboratory's Side-L release, which could give us either the HG D-1 Custom, the Option Parts Set Cavalier-0 and Weapon Set, or even both. Side-L stuff usually come out in early Spring. The rest, surprise me.
stop asking for more zz shit already no one asked for a hamma hamma
I'm surprised Bandai haven't make HG Enhanced ZZ kit for P-Bandai
>>24013470That's because the existing HG ZZ is old as all hell. They would need to make a HG ZZ Revive first, and design it from the ground up to be capable of accepting Enhanced and Full Armor parts.Or just make it the next RG, because, come the fuck on, we got Ground Gundam before it, really?
>>24013439it would be silly to ignore how many large things bandai has been willing to make pretty much since Narrative and its A-Packs or thereabouts. We've been getting a lot of large HGs for the past while especially when you consider AoZ. We just got a 13000 yen HG for Hathaway they definitely never had to do. You're acting like it'd take some miracle but it would take exactly what got the Psyco Mark II made. Hell it's been a few years now we've gotten 10k+ yen HGs each year. If we got Quin Mantha next year it'd be one of the least surprising things ever if you look at what they've been doing.
>>24013058i'm good, going to enjoy building my kits that i got for good prices. You keep crying fag
>>24013472RG is the better option. If we're ever getting Full Armor, it's a P-Bandai expansion kit with Enhanced ZZ extensions (though none of the transformation locks that you have to build over the kit, they might simply include the locks in a way that's similar to the RG Unicorn's or GaoGaiGar's).
https://x.com/hobby_magazine/status/2097912958986997778Bad news, they're reissuing Bujin Kourin SDs (basically redesigning certain older SDs including Musha Retsuden stuff into designs modeled after Samurai Warriors/Nobunaga's Ambition designs of historical warlords) in Premium Bandai. This is the end of an era.Affected releases:>Tokugawa Ieyasu Gundam>Takeda Shingen Gundam
They should make a Noble Gundam in Nobunaga theme, like with his clan symbol and his armor design.Noburu Gundam
Painted my HG MP Gelgoog. Not gonna make much commentary about the kit since i'm just not in a good mood it atm. Just drop it here.
>>24013511
>>24013515
>>24012526>A lone smuggler buys time for his comrades to flee an overwhelming foe. Does he have enough rounds left to save them all?Per Anon's recommendation in a prior thread, I picked up some diorama supplies from Hobby Lobby to make this guy a little base.Incidentally, how do you decide when to call it quits on a project? I keep looking at this guy and finding small things I want to change. I've got a couple ideas for the groupbuild that I really like, so I wanna get started on one of those soon.
>>24013560Posted the wrong size photo. Oops.
>>24013562Looking very nice. I initially said that the colors were too saturated, glad to see you managed to dull them down a little bit to make the finish more natural. One adjustment I'd suggest is readding some black to the vents like the one on the knee. Since they're supposed to be blasting out hot air I don't think there'd be any snow getting piled up in them
>>24012525Would an already built one qualify
>>24013574Probably won't happen since they just announced RG Ground Gundam, but I'm hoping for RG Reborns, X, or ZZ.
>>24013592no one would know if you didn't post this
Here's your 1.5 S-Gundam bootleg
>>24013511>>24013515>>24013515Thats hella fresh. I fucking love the space rock camo vibe.
>>24013602Eh you are kinda expected to post WIP pictures to the thread to prove you built it.
>>24013330>new MG>new RG>several HGsGee. Thanks.
>>24013602>>24013606Ye I remember the old posts mentioning you had to put WIP pics. shame
>>24013592Why would you even want to enter something you already had sitting around? It's really against the point of a group build.
>>24013619Worked for Radiohead didn't it
>>24013330Probably a chunk of HGs is held back for the new AU release. Probably will get a giant wave of like 15 kits at least.
>>24013603You'd have to be insane to trust Zhang with a MG Ex-S.
All that talk spawned an RD Quin Mantha.Very nice, now let's look at the list of upcoming Gunpla releases.
>>24013635what do you mean, Daban Ex-S was great
>>24013642Why orange?
>>24013644the Daban Ex-S comes with blue and orange parts for "Amuro" color
>>24013641Bandai genuinely hates everyone who buys their model kits lmao.
>>24013644there actually is supposed to be a second unit of the S Gundambut I think it's supposed to be red though
>>24013651Maybe they just didn't feel like dealing with another decade of autistic screeching over big models costing more money than tiny ones
>>24013187>>24013213Can confirm the $25 after tax price. I got one about 3 weeks ago. Such a fun kit.
>>24013641Maybe I'll just buy that Quin instead
>>24013668It's like 75% of the way there.
>>24013603There's only one bootlegging company that I would trust with something of this magnitude, and it's not this no-name company that I never heard about until today.
The search for an all new 1/100 S Gundam continues...
>>24013691https://japan-figure.com/products/bandai-mg-1-100-msa-0011-s-gundam-plastic-model-kit-gundam-sentinel-japan-bandai?
>>24013688If they reused any of the RD parts they'd screech about reused molds.
>>24013698There's no winning with retards like you. It is already 75% of the way there. Make the model kit then do whatever the fuck you want with the action figure afterwards.
>>24013697By an all new 1/100 S Gundam I obviously meant a 24 year old MG of course.
>>24013702They're different departments with different engineers and factories. RD also has much more stable consumers.
>>24013716That's nice dear.
I hate buying plamo locally.... fuck bros... I don't wanna pay for shipping, goddamn the prices are already jacked up, why do I gotta pay even more
>>24013739You voted for it.
>>24013739Just go to Hobby Lobby bro.
>>24013739Should have spent years building up a backlog. Personally, I have enough kits saved up to last me Trump's next 2-3 terms. Now paint... Paint is another matter.
>>24013739GOD FORBID LOCAL STORES MAKE MONEYHAVE YOU THOUGHT OF THEIR CHILDREN
>>24013739obligatory shilling for GundamPros' private warehouse shipping
>>24013768No thanks I already have an RX-78 and a Zaku I don't need anymore
>>24013739We told you last year to buy what you wanted.
>>24013781They actually get some pretty good shit pretty often. I got a 60 dollar sazabi ver.ka there once.
>>24013786That's just regular MSRP. In Japan it's about 9000 Yen ($60 USD)
Just buy a Mechanicore S Gundam
>>24013791Did you know it costs money to move things to the other side of the planet?
>>24013795Did you know Hobby Lobby isn't the only store on the planet with that same deal? Don't know why you fucking retards are so obsessed with that shithole.
>>24013816I do it because they will send my money to Israel.
>>24013816Let me know when you find a US store selling that kit for 60 bucks. It's very clear you have some agenda against the place. It's almost always cheapest to get something there if you see it there. The only limiting factor is their tiny and erratic stock.
>>24013823I'm not the guy who's always talking about their christian bullshit I'm just fucking sick of you goddamn hobby lobby shills spamming the same goddamn thing in every fucking thread. 'Just go to hobby lobby bro' fuck you, you know damn well they only carry the MOST beef and potatos selection of gunpla and SHIT tier quality paint like citadel, vallejo, humbrol, testors, etc
>>24013829First you were crying about how matching japanese MSRP isn't a good price and now you're whining about stock. It's very obvious what you're doing. You've lied and minimized things several times. It's not even the best company but it's well known that if you like cheap gunpla you can go there and get it for cheap. You can even find odd things there pretty often that haven't been printed in a while. People like to help each other find things and it's a pretty good first place to look when you want some gunpla.
>>24013835I knew this general had some schizo tendencies but this is just fucking retarded. What exactly do you think my "agenda" is?
>>24013845The same as every other person who flips shit when people say to buy something there
>>24013849I don't give a fuck about people buying from there just stop spamming it in every thread you autistic piece of shit
>>24013829>SHIT tier quality paint like (perfectly fine paints) ?
>>24013829>"Durr, Hobby Lobby isn't even that good, they just sell at MSRP!">get called out that it's Japanese MSRP and it's usually more expensive in the US because shipping, tariffs, regional pricing, etc.>"Durr, that doesn't matter, because their selection is terrible! Also, unrelated bullshit that emphasizes this irrelevant point about selection!"Dude, just shut the fuck up. They're still significantly cheaper than 90% of all other options in the US, and their selection is still fine for basic needs.
>>24013857You clearly do give a fuck since you've tried to lie about the place multiple times during your tantrum. I'm not even the person who recommended it.
>>24013868Dude I would fucking kill for anything being sold at Japanese MSRPt. Canada
>>24013868>>24013875no their selection is garbage, their paint is garbage and there really is no reason to shop there unless you're just starting out or missing some bare bones kits. I didn't "lie" about anything (you sound like a goddamn toddler saying that shit btw)
>>24013877Yes, you did lie. You insisted that they only carry the original gundam and a zaku then also insisted that matching japanese msrp is just something everyone does. You lied multiple times. I've actually found stuff there that was out of print for at least a year a couple of times. The place gets decent stuff. You're a whiny sperg and you're just objectively wrong.
>>24013877I watched Barbatos Rex's review of Hobby Lobby's paint line. That man is a million times more experienced on paint than every single person in this thread combined. If he says their in house line is surprisingly good for both brush and airbrush, then I trust him. I just haven't been up there in a bit to buy some for myself. In other words, calm down you absolute sperg. No one here cares about your hang-ups about the company's politics, which is where this is really coming from.
>>24013886Barbatos Sex
>>24013886again with the baseless schizo accusations. at least get your head screwed on straight before you try arguing with me.
>>24013890I like how you address nothing and try to go after him as a person since you haven't been able to make a single point about anything
>>24013887/ourgeezer/
Should I buy a Hobby Lobby Geara Doga or wait for the Vakit?
>>24013891I already made my point painfully clear. Hobby Lobby has a bad selection and they don't carry good paint. Everything else you retards have said is ironically a personal attack against me 'HURDUR U JUST DONT LIKE THEIR POLITICS!!1'
>>24013894I bought two a couple months ago, good thing because I haven't seen them almost anywhere else, even my local non-HL hobby shop had them for like 30% more expensive.>>24013895No, your original "point" was that their prices aren't even that good because their equal to Japanese MSRP. And then when it was pointed out that this was still cheaper than virtually every other US retailer, you got pussy sandblasted and moved the goalposts to other irrelevant points.
>>24013897>irrelevant pointsyeah like randomly bringing up their corporate politics lmfao you're the one who got pussyhurt because you thought I was somebody else
>>24013895Yeah you totally know more about paint than the guy who has dedicated his life to obsessively reviewing every kind of paint
>>24013901>everyone who makes counterarguments to my terrible posts is the same person!Now you're just randomly lashing out and hoping to land hits.
What HG should I paint as stolen by Hobby Lobby during the OYW? They stole it to protect their cheap deliveries from Side 7 btw.
>>24013925Unironically Hobby Lobby smuggled a shitton of artifacts and kept them poorly maintained because they're insane and incompetent evangelicalsSo if you can pick out a Mesopotamian or Iraqi mobile suit or paint job, you'll definitely at least be earning my vote
>>24013927>>24013925>taliban zockYou'd win if you did it
>>24013929>anything zockUnless it's literal "Grimzock design because I stole the design", zock would win my vote
>>24013905does he ever paint anything other than spare gunpla parts
>>24013935When you watch his videos there's usually a few models on his desk at any given time.
>>24013592fix your seamlines, dude
>>24013895This is getting embarrassing. You're so clearly out of your element I'm beginning to wonder if you word search threads for things to cry about. Do you even live in the US?

Decals for the RE/100 Zaku II FZ functionally don't exist. It's weird how I can't even find knockoffs from chang on Ali. Should I just buy some meant for the MG 2.0?
>>24014242What would you even want on there that isn't just on generic zeon decal sheets?
>>24014249I want an upside-down Zeon symbol because he's a defector, but they don't sell upside-down decals
>>24012810scalpers merely make markets more efficient by facilitating price discovery towards the true price which balances supply and demandthe true sin they reveal is bandai's sin of pricing the kits too low when they could have sold for 200% higher and still found buyers
>>24014250unfortunately the only option is to draw one yourself and print it out on custom decal paper. Bandai and all the various changs don't have the technology to print upside-down decals.
>>24014259to be fair upside down printers are retardedly complex and one australian company holds all the patents for it so it's just bullshit
>>24014259>not even fucking chang can pull through on this one>>24014262>and literally Australia up to no good againThis is some real fucking bullshit

And now with the vents and thrusters darkened once more, he's ready to protect his comrades in his first and final battle!I made the footprint on the base with a bit of plaster and texture paste. It may seem strange but I am proudest of that feature.The scratches on his shield were made with a knife and then filled in with epoxy to replicate the molten metal. It took me a bit of effort to keep them from looking like vaginas.The oil dot filter was when he really started to look cool, so if you've never tried it, I really recommend it for giving your guys that worn down look.
To emphasize how doomed this poor soul is, I snapped one of his heat knives off and went at it with a rotary sander. He's also down to just one missile and one magazine for his rifle.
And now to start with my groupbuild entry. Extremely excited for this one.

I’m watching 00 gundam and was looking at the available model kits and it kind of looks like the selection isn’t that great? The hg line is all from like 20 years ago when the show was airing. The mgs look good but there’s only a couple.
>>24014858the season 1 HGs are pretty meh but HG gunpla made a big leap around when the S2 kits came out and there's lots of good ones in there
>>24014862Oh cool I didn’t know. I’ll check them out
>>24014648Vagina face

>>24014858As the other anon said, Gunpla engineering made major advances around the 2007-2008 era, both for the HG and MG line (though for MG the renaissance largey started in 2005). 00 happened to just air at an inopportune moment for Gunpla.
>reached the decal stage
>>24014858The 00 gundam is an engineering marvel.
Any eurobros? Where do you buy custom decals?
>>24014858I'm convinced that bandai is holding out on 00 fans for when they finally do that sequel-movie that they were teasing 8 years ago for (supposedly) next year. There was a sudden flood of CE gunpla during the runup to Sneed Freedom starting a couple years before it was even clear that Sneed Freedom was something that might actually get made and not fukuda stringing his fanbase along. When you start seeing HGAD revives and acknowledgement that season 2 and the first movie existed then you know it's finally coming...
>>24014933On delpi decals and aliexpress. Local is too much of a gamble
Thoughts on the color scheme? Does left looks better than right? Because left spares me from doing some masking.
>>24014972Is it just the chest difference? Right looks more feminine as it looks like it has an thinner waist.
>>24014972I saved it in my mobile suit subfolder because this looked official, I cannot tell the difference between these two imagesOh the white vs orangeHow would it look like if only the first/top of the two strips of waist were orange?
>>24014975>Is it just the chest difference?Yeah. I ask because one version allows me to skip masking because I'm lazy as fuck.>>24014981>How would it look like if only the first/top of the two strips of waist were orange?Like this you mean? There's something to be said about how color balance makes an upside down triangle on the upper body.
>>24014995he means like typical Feddie GMs that have a two-colour waistyou changed the chest, not the waist colourFeddies often have the two step waists, with two colours for them. Typically they're either the chest colour + main armour (white) colour, or main armour + a dark grey like jointsPic related, two-tone GM III waist using the primary and secondary colours
A mystical familiar appears before you and offers you a choice of gunpla.Which are you picking?

It bothers me that there are people who have been in this hobby for years, over a decade even, that still snapbuild without putting even the tiniest effort into posing their robot toys, let alone do additional stuff like panel line, decal, topcoat or painting.Gunpla is freedom? More like Gunpla is low effort.
>>24015396Every hobby has people like that. /a/ has people who only watch dubbed anime, /v/ has people who only watch streamers and never play games themselves, /tg/ has people who only watch warhammer lore and D&D podcasts and have never rolled a dice in their entire lives, /m/ has snapshitters, etc
Looking back at Revive RX78-2 HG, i wonder what actually happened in Bandai's head to give it this proportion.
>>24015396>>24015400>mfw there are gunpla "fans" who have never designed and scratchbuilt their own Gundam
>>24015423>designed and scratchbuiltI've definitely drawn dozens of completely custom unique mech designs but never had the skills to make them
>>24015396>Gunpla is freedomA slogan to encourage creativity coopted by laziness. Freedom ought to be the ability to do what you want, not the encouragement of apathy. People who don't enjoy their japanese robot toys like I do are evil and deserve punishment. Total snapshitter death.

Got a loto for $12 and a couple of F2's for $10. Feels so good buying kits at non scalped prices. After getting getting used to seeing them for like twice the price for years.
>>24015376well damn because that thing really looks like how bandai would do a mgsd msf
>>24015396i'm not bothered by them at all but it is annoying that they make up a huge chunk of the crowd anywhere you go to talk about gunpla. i do not want to talk to these ppl. we do not have the same hobby, but there's no real good way to separate from them without becoming a huge snobby asshole that no one likes
>>24015588Nice, local or online?
Are there good bootlegs of these specific kits? I need the Calibarn, Aerial Rebuild, Schwarzette, Lfrith, Michaelis, Heindree.It's for a big project involving those 6 kits together, but getting all of them from Bandai would cost way too much.
>>24015638pretty sure these all have functional bootlegs, maybe not lfrithhere's a bootleg review channel https://www.youtube.com/@gundamdek/videos
>>24015638>SchwarzetteJMS is pretty good
>>24015630Online :)Checked my fav online store and it was just magically there. Clicked expecting it to be sold out but it was magically available for purchase.I know paying $18 for a $10 toy isn't that big a deal, but its really insulting to pay extra. Its just really satisfying to not get ripped off every now and then.

chud got so mad at someone sharing their cool project he replied three times in one minuteno employment in sight
>>24015488People don't understand why panel liner can crack some pieces. It's always because of micro-fractures in the plastic that develop from cutting it out of the runner, invisible to the eye. As a liquid, the liner penetrates those fractures and, depending on the liner used and the plastic it's used on, causes weakening in the piece. Tamiya is the strongest of the conventional liners, which is why it causes the most of these fractures. But even gundam pour markers can cause this weakening, which is why people recommend either panel lining on the runner before fractures are created or if you've already cut the piece out, only doing the lining over a gloss coat.
>>24015678>michaelis just gets longsnapped

Does anyone know what paint this is, or something equivalent you can get outside of Ali? It's a clear fluorescent UV reactive one.
>>24012525I shoplifted an MG 3.0 from the Gundam Base in my country. Can I enter it into the groupbuild?
>>24015754just use google translate on the image and stop being lazy
>>24015754Gaianotes has a fluorescent clear, don't know what color it glows under UV though
>>24015743That's because the toyline far predates the show.
I want to make tiny epoxy pilots to go inside pic related. A common practice for painting things behind "glowing" visor glass is to paint it silver. Would the same practice apply for this specifically? I'm not sure if painting it accurately would matter much since it'd be distorted by the clear plastic anyway.
>>24015775>epoxy pilotsSounds retarded. Just resin print them.
>>24015783Can 3d printers even print 1/144 humans? It'd probably have the exact level of detail.
>>24015786Yeah, any of the 4k or 8k resolution ones should be able to do it.
>>24015783Sculpting stuff by hand takes way more skill and intelligence than simply 3D printing something. You sound lazy and stupid.
>>24015790Or you could just learn blender and sculpt an actual human instead of a pin sized blob of putty.
Another masterpiece from Gaogao.

>>24015754>>24015763Gaia fluo clear is blue. I believe there's a jap paint line called something like spooky show up that has a bunch of different colored clear fluorescents too. This specific chink no idea though
Thinking something like this for my Assemble Zaku contest piece. Round plinth for the base and then a thin piece of plasticard attached to the back half of it to create a curved backdrop that I can paint a background directly onto. I've got a pretty easy technique for making a sort of watercolor effect that I've used on a few pokepla kits, maybe use that look here to give the whole scene a painterly look.
>>24015846This is going to be my first crack at it. Unlike you I'm actually going to do it instead of bitch on the internet.
>>24015853I forgor to resize. . .Other idea is to paint it in a style more reminiscent of classic gunpla box art, and then just use a flat background and paint the scene on there, then frame the whole thing in a box or something like that. Really depends on which Zaku model they end up sending me I guess.
>>24015846Post your 3d printed 1/144 pilots. I'll know if you just steal a picture from some random online shop.

What's the right order for painting/top coating if I wanna give a painted kit a matte finish and dry brush some details over it with metallic acrylic paint? Should I just dry brush over the matte top coat and leave it uncoated?
>>24015899Nobody is, which is why you should be resin printing pilots.
>>24015905Shhh stop crying
>>24015908You couldn't even sculpt a 1/72 scale pilot.
>>24015913>n-n-no!!!>d-ddon't try it!!!>hhhh-hi-hic!!!>I-I-I can't do it so you can't either!!!

Ordered an MG Turn A gundam. I'm a newbie to airbrushing, and I just learned that kit has a ton of ABS plastic. Are lacquer paints going to melt those parts?
>>24015982Most likely no. If you're really worried, spray primer on in 2-3 misty layers, there's zero risk after that.

>>24015998Well we can wait and see if Helix HG is good or not. Plenty of AC kits are nice to build and paint but i would say AC as franchise was made for Western audiences from the start, there was no shift in target audience like Gundam has been experience from the past few years.

Any reason not to get UV reactive decals? Shopping decals for my RG Zeta and I saw they had UV reactive ones.
>>24016321When are you ever going to look at your gunpla in the dark?
>>24016325I 'unno. They're the same price as the standard ones.
>>24015853Tried my hand at a space marine to get some practice for this
>>24016325>he thinks fluorescent details are only for appreciating in the dark
daiso will probably get these dirt cheap hanger expansions on their line up
>>24016316he's the sole reason why Bandai thinks their gunpla is selling.
>>24016321You will have to trim then as the film is reactive and not the printed ink.
>>24016054Gonna make an ace custom of the Buck II piloted by a guy named Tim.A Tim's Buck II if you will.
Had a hobby store employee recommend me some Colour Forge primer a few months ago and I got to say that shit is like magic. It goes on super thin and paint just sticks to the areas you want without a problem.
>>24016374huh?what kind of shit ones did you buy by mistake?
>>24016321>Any reason not to get UV reactive decals?Only if you plan on doing a finish that already involves fluorescent paint that decals would clash with. For example I think putting uv decals on a unicorn with a fluorescent frame you plan to light up would take away from the finished product when lit up.>>24016374This isn't true
Want to start making a simple 144 diorama any advice on the size or scale?. I think the building size can be varied from 7 - 15 cm, basically just the waist or covering the entire suit. But what about the tree size? what is the most common size for 144 tree? is it 5-7 cm or maybe more like 10-12 cm?
>>24016447Just do sequoia trunks stretching past the diorama and you won't have to worry about height measurements. Unironically though just check what the usual height is of the tree you want to put in is and base it off of that. Even in the same species trees will vary a lot in size so no need to stress it that much.
Was ordering stuff and saw a bunch of miscellaneous meme tools for plamo going for cheap and figured that I might as well see what the whole thing was all about. Got both and each one went for like 3 bucks.I am genuinely impressed and in love with the one on the left. It's an all-in-one pack for spraying and painting needs. You get 12 magnetized wire sticks that you can bend however you want. The clips come with a rubberized tip too so it doesn't damage the plastic but of course you can remove the rubber tips too if you need that wee bit more of extra wide bite. The case serves as the metallic base that you can slap the sticks to so no more need for styrofoam you regularly impale and you can pack everything neatly into the same case afterwards. I fucking love this thing and gladly would've paid twice the price for it too.Right is one of the most useless piece of meme shit I ever had the misfortune of using. I figured that the whole sponge thing would at least help with curling of the shoddier waterslide decal (i.e. Koto stuff) but no, shit still curls up even when on top of the sponge. Even the tweezers it comes with is more worthless than some generic chink tweezer you can buy for less than a dollar. I didn't even pay much for this piece of shit and I still feel ripped off. The fucking ramen cup I use for waterslide decals works better than this fucking meme.
>>24016501>12 sticksI need 120
>>24016501I've considered getting the right one under the assumption that it does a good job separating decals and removing the hassle of fishing for it in the saucer of water I usually use, while also letting me form a queue of decals without the risk of them drifting together.Tweezer looks like absolute balls though.
