why does one gunpla dude have four spots?
>>98670162>no titty conversionBOOOOOOOOO!!!
Finished two more dudes, almost done with the whole killteam.
Never liked gunpla models. Have yet to encounter one that I liked even with a good paintjob.Anon did a good job on his though.
>>98670263They're pretty varied. I'd be surprised if you couldn't find ONE that you liked.
>>98669356meanwhile scamdai can manufacture whatever the hell this is and sell it for less money per kit.>>98669553why not use something that cures fast like 5 minute epoxy or uv resin?>>98670263just curious what do you think about tau robots?
>>98670325Don't really like tau aesthetics that much. Some paintjobs make me like it more though. Generic tau infantry is the one I like most.The paintjob makes the model for me so I guess I could find a gunpla i liked if I bothered to actually look for one.
>>98670263Can I throw a couple odd ones at you to see what you think? There's a surprising amount of variety once you step away from the mainline gundams.
>>98670263The grunt suits are way cooler than the super speshul main character suits.
>>98670341what kind of paint job? for me I like tau because of the concept but I dislike the execution. I feel like I am part of the target audience that is supposed to like the robots, but in my opinion they did everything wrong to appeal to me beyond the basic idea. they are supposed to be like gundams but they get all of the design expectations wrong.
>>98670368>post a super sphesul main character suit
>>98670390GW needed to lean into the anime tropes of T'au way harder. When they animated crisis suits actually moving in that one cgi short, the motions looked boringly realistic and normal. They should be jetting around and pulling crazy anime maneuvers while cutting to close in shots of the pilots sweating and gasping and struggling to survive the G forces.
>>98670697they should really just animate them like armoured cores
>>98670236the base decor doesn't work with the minis. Look into actually re-painting the lichen and foliage. Right now, the contrast between natural material and painted plastic is too stark.
I like to cover my gunpla in a carapace of putty to make them look like insects.
>>98670704That would work.They also need to lean into sexy anime tau girls.
I think I'm done with the scorpion-men. Next I need to varnish them once the weather improves. Does it make a difference if I varnish them multiple times?
Got quite far on my venoms this weekend. Would rather paint warhams than go to work, but such is life. Happy how crispy the highlights came out on this one.
>>98670848pics?
>>98671003Room for improvement but certainly not bad. Love the red exposed flesh look, but do wonder if a different hair colour would contrast better?
>>98670325About those cubes, it was "just" Bandai engineering department flexing their muscles since it's really only a cube connector piece, it had zero reasons for being color separated like that.
