Anyone knows what paint color matches Neverlia’s hair?
>>11278204I would say AK "Pastel Violet" is good match.
Restating what i said in the old thread, new girl with the big assets resembles Murasaki from Senran Kagura. Or stinky crow Vtuber sloppa.
>>11277705>>11277939>fu fu fu, anon, did you let all these nubs on purpose or you're retarded?>that's what you call professional painting? you are a failure at life!
>>11278179>Amaterasu AUVAre they making a non regalia one of these? Is there a picture?
>>11277711A nurse? Nice.
>>11278232mama.
>>11278231Less Murasaki more the obvious off model Pokémon hex maniac.
>>11278262Yes.
>>11278288Ok thanks anon. Any word on when it comes out? I heard the boobs are gonna be really big so I’m excited
Damn. This chigga greasy.Dis gon be me someday.https://youtu.be/D-Jn1uOa6mo?si=k1Iq17PuI7UPsAb1
>>11278285>hex maniacWas gonna say, this is the first thing that immediately came to mind. I might just be a degenerate that REALLY likes my loser/creepy/bullied girl archetype though.
>>11278299No, she was announced at the same time as Susanowo, and we haven't seen anything at all since the Regalia were announced.
>>11278136I've only done it on polystyrene of bandai kits but never had any problems. Some times I would put it in and forget about it like for a couple days and there's no problems. I don't know if it would be different for ABS though.
That owl is having the time of its life.
>>11278383>Puni Mofu with big titsMUH.Kotobukiya wants to bankrupt me.
>>11278313>>11278285Muras similar stereotype and hair in her face. But I see it. Won't be surprised to see a custom of that soon. Hell just 3d model it and print out parts
>>11278210Thank you, I bought the white ponytail for her but I noticed after the fact that it isn’t exactly the same as her hair, it’s pretty close though, at least it matches the eyebrows. But I’d still ideally like to paint it the same color as her regular hair since it’s not like I’m ever going to use this hair piece with anyone else
>>11278258>>11278260>>11277705>>11277939CUTE. Blonde mesugaki was an inspired choice for the kitty.>>11277642>>11277643>>11277646>>11277648>>11277657Gorgeous. I love girls with cow tits who look a bit stinky and weird. I am probably not going to display her with her clusterfucky mecha bits but the girl herself is great.
>>11278314Will it take one more year for the most complex Auv design?Also, nobody got the Cross Frame Girl GaoFighGar yet?
>>11277560Duuuude. I would have saved so much money if I had known about them earlier.
Thinking about the possibilities of mixing and matching 30MS Skin Color A bodies/costumes with Skin Color C heads/limbs to create a sort of “tan line” effect with pale tummy and booba showing. Anyone done this yet?
>>11277613Why is seeker less expensive than principal if seeker contains everything principal did?
>>11278525what are you smoking
>>11278538I guess it might be localized to Canadian stores. Maybe Seeker is not selling as well.
>>11278543Amazon
>>11278498Fuuuuck. 50% off discount code died.
>>11278544Backlog Builder
Kotobukiya making Azur Lane girls when?
>>11278488>nobody got the Cross Frame Girl GaoFighGar yet?I just ordered mine to be put on the boat.
>>11278488Mine should be popping up on Tuesday if DHL aren't lying
>>11278520Neat
I want to make a forearm blade for my Sisters, is there a way to do this without having to modify parts and pin stuff? I know how but I don’t wanna. To be clear I mean the forearm becomes the blade like the T-1000 in T2, not a blade attached to the forearm like the mantis blades from Cyberpunk. Been looking at various 30MM parts sets, just unsure what parts I would need to buy and how I’d go about connecting it at the elbow like that.
>>11278582What about Bandai making FGO girls when? Apparently they are just camping on the license doing fuckall with it. You'd think it'd be a money printer if they made some girlpla of it.
>>11278544Hopefully they drop Mephisto's price back to at least retail like it was previously. Amazon's pricing is ridiculous.
>>11278582The closest it got were cu-poche prototypes of sandy and unicorn but then the line failed and the license must have expired.
Today I played with clear paint. Lancer, NuArcher and NuNinja are present, I just need to decide if I'm going to do a semigloss coat or leave them shiny. I haven't even snapped the rest of Archer yet but her titties are going to be on point as soon as I do.
>>11278879Remember the time when Saber's AGP figure basically spoiled a major story reveal? The nature of Excalibur is basically a major sign the Saber we all remember since 2004 is even greater that explains why so many want to contract with her specifically over other Sabers: the Grand Saber. And the AGP figure is a concept of what a fully unsealed Excalibur would look like.
Hoping that 30MS will cover CG after Shinyka is done.Considering their format, all 190 of them might actually be possible - just do some base bodies, account for some skin tones and release hair and faces over the ages.Realistically they'll just do main trios for each branch.
>>11279074Bandai announced they will be doing 765. It might be awhile when they get to CG. Who are you hoping to get a plamo?
>>11279074>>11279155What is CG and Shinyka?
>>11279155All 13? I thought they'd just do our main trio. But that's fine too.Was hoping for my good old Individuals trio. And like, a dozen other girls. Not that I have space for the latter.>>11279166Cinderella Girls. Shiny Colours.
>>11279171Thank you my friend
>>11279171>All 13? I thought they'd just do our main trio. But that's fine too.We don't know yet. The likelihood of getting the entire 765 hinges on the sales data. Imo it doesn't cost bandai much to retool to produce the rest of the idols. Most of the cost would come from the engineering the costume and hair piece.
Just built 30MS Neverlia and there seems to be a bit of space between her thigh swivel, the ring for accessories, and the rest of her leg. Is this a normal thing? I pushed extremely hard but neither thigh is pushing any deeper in.
Dress-up body is out in Japan. You pre-order yours right?Also, why is Kotobukiya dragging it's feet with Kuon. They already showed off the colored prototype.
So this is how they play with theirshttps://x.com/marumino555/status/1873380157010198710
What are the advantages of using matte gel compared to matte spray paint?https://x.com/henta963/status/1859044076630528257
>>11279210How are you guys pre ordering stuff from Kotobukiya? I looked on their website and it says they don’t ship to addresses outside of Japan or to forwarding addresses and to please understand.
>>11279210>You pre-order yours right?No. Can I still get it or is it over for me?
>>11279239>>11279246>Can I still get it or is it over for me?
>>11279253Does that mean it’s over for me
>>11279055shiny bodysuits are a nice look anon
>>11279210Eh, I'm not buying her clothes, I don't like the knees and I have no custom ideas. I'll pass.>>11279236If you can do it safely without a respirator not needing an airbrush and being able to do it at your desk is already a big plus. Seems convenient to keep around if nothing else so long as it's durable. .
>>11279236you don't need a spray booth or to go outside so it's probably nice if you live somewhere where the weather is too shitty to paint, or in a soulless concrete apartment with no yard/balcony (and dont wanna invest in an airbrush+spraybooth)looks like the process of dabbing it on with a sponge would be very slow and tedious for a big / high partcount model kit compared to spraying though, this guy is only doing it for faceshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWGsE6r2pZ0probably cheaper than buying topcoat, an 8oz tube of acrylic matt gel is below 15 bux and looks like it would last a long time
>>11279271>so long as it's durableit's acrylic. won't match up to the durability of lacquer topcoats
>>11279055Leave 'em shiny - the transparent latex look is hot.
surugay has preorders for the buster doll reprints, not a bad price.
>>11279239I'm experimenting with BBTS, who say they can fulfil my order of Virginia Earthcline (a hexa gear figure that is otherwise koto store exclusive).
>>11278348CURSED
>>11279197How much space is a "bit of space"? There's nothing odd with mine, try pressing the thigh swivel peg against a flat surface like your cutting mat instead of just using your hands.
>>11279399A mm or 2, maybe? Basically not completely flush. I pushed it against a table, and also put the whole leg together and pushed that assembly together but it doesn't seem to have any more room to go, and on both legs. Could be I'm a bit apprehensive after bending the little bat insignia while sanding it somehow (but luckily a blow dryer got rid of the resultant stress mark), but I'm fairly sure I was going full bore on it. Feels like the indentations on the thigh piece might be why? Not sure.
>>11279171I have 0 hope for anything CG related from Bandai at this point.
Finished this cute cat, she is my first MD kit and it was a joy to build, besides that part that broke in the runner, I hope the other bodies are as fun as this one because in that case then I'm sold on MD.
>>11279751The Buster Doll, new Busou Shinki ladies and the Block 1.5L girls are all super solid builds comparable to her.
>>11279756The Buster Dolls are similar on size, right?
>>11279756nta, whats block 1.5L?
I remember there was an image with every single MD, but I lost it and I need it.
>>11279773here you go friend. have a wonderful day
>>11279765Block 1.5L are the new ASRA and AUV girls.>>11279758Yeah, similar engineering as well, so they're cross compatible
>>11279778Thanks anon.
1/2Wtf is with this weird gap? Is it a posing shortcoming or did I build something wrong/skill issue etc.?
What's the difference between blocks?Are they compatible with each other?
>>112798012/2The ass also looks weird, I’m getting the feeling I build something wrong/didn’t push some parts all the way in/etc but it genuinely feels like everything is pushed in as far as it will go
>>11279801Just built her and she doesn't have that gap at the mid-torso. You're using the crotch assembly that came with the kit, right? I ask cause you've got those skin hips there. Trying to think of what could be causing that but nothing jumps out at me. I'd suggest taking that part apart and going through the instructions again.
>>11279809Yes, the only things on her that don’t come with her are the ponytail and the thighs
>>11279803Adapter parts are required between each Block/Iteration.
>>11279811>>11279809Alright I think I fixed it by just going in and pulling that hexagonal panel up a smidge, but you’d think the tolerance on it would just stop it and have it seat where it’s supposed to be
Are the 30MM ACVI weapons compatible with 30MS? I just had the idea to give a Sister the Pile Bunker but I don’t want to buy the weapons set if they’re largely incompatible, I like Armored Core VI but not enough to want to start buying and building the 30MM kits (unless they reissue Steel Haze soon)
>>11279814Like the neck parts?
>>11279218Hahaha. Her face looks ridiculous. Fucking coconut head with big ass eyes.
Are there any 30mm halberds aside from the cielnova one? or should I just print one?
>>11279853No. Anon is just saying random bs. The only major change from Megami device Block-1 to Block-2 is the total redesign of the tops parts (the upper torso). The rest is all dependant on the size of the girls parts, S/M/L. BUSTER Doll sizes are a bit off though since the arms are M and the thighs are an in-between of M and L.>>11279801You have the internal ball socket upside down.
>>11279801I'm gonna ask you to take it appart and read the instructions again.
>>11280016There’s a tomahawk option in the Alto, Portanova, and Heavy Weapons options set, but they’re not as substantial as what you’re looking for.The Ceilnova one is great, though.
>>11279758>>11279779The current BUSTER Dolls are all bigger than Mao and Tu. Just because the joints are the same doesn't make the limb diameters the same. Swapping thighs out from a BUSTER Doll to Mao or Tu works kinda since it just makes it look like they have slightly thicker thighs. The other way around looks like shit.
>>11279778The chubby blank supposedly was just the designers messing around, it won't ever be made.
>>11280072Rude and unhelpful, cut me some slack brother I’ve been working on this thing in dim lighting after work each day while running on 4 hours of sleep each night, I misread one (1) part of the instructions, sue me>>11280039Thank you
>>11280155>Rude and unhelpfulIf you can manipulate the pieces with your mind without taking it apart go right ahead.
>>11280145>it won't ever be made.CRAWLING IN MY SKINTHESE FAGS WILL NOT BE REAL>But they were megami--Fuck off, I'm makin' art over here. But seriously, that sucks. At least we get what's her face.
>>11280155>Rude and unhelpful>Didn't even bother to read the manualWTF anon.....
I am a giga newfag here coming from gunpla. Does kotobukiya have retail releases like Bandai or is everything like you have to preorder it when the window is open? How does they work.
>>11280373Yeah, they get retail releases and reproductions so unless it's Kotobukiya shop exclusive (like P.B) it isn't hard to get most kits.
>>11280401So is there any reason to really pre order things then?
>>11280408Things may not stay on the shelves for long (especially true for first releases) and having a bit of a backlog is nice.
>>11280408Yes, sometimes there is a ton of hype behind some kits so if you don't pre-order them chances are they're gonna be bought pretty quickly and then re-sold by scalpers.
>>11280416>cough< Susanowo
Built up more of the 30MS Idolmaster girls. Nothing to write home about other than Kiriko's bandages being kinda bad. Nice too that we finally have glasses in 30MS even if they are locked behind a specific character's hair part.
>12 more>might be doing another setUgh
>>11280429I can't wait for Kaho, I want to put her alongside my kamen riders.
Zenki top 10 of 2024 video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbyUoH5qfCw>>11280430AIs, how do they work?
>>11280501Konishi 2024 year in review:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iERwvMV0-ho
>>11280504>dude bought 6 copies of Lirinel because she was cheap
>>11280506Well, you're supposed to. They encourage it.
>>11280410>>11280416>>11280424Ok thank you guys
>>11280510In japan maybe, in Australia you're lucky to find a store that has the 30ms girls and if they do they definitely wont have more than 1-2 of any in stock
>>11280672>AustraliaIsn't lolicon illegal there? Why do you think you deserve anything?
>>11278875Why attach at the elbow? If you want T-1000 'liquid blade', then I'd think it would be easy to make your own from styrene and plug into the existing wrist hole, where the blade extends back along the forearm.>>11279842I would assume the hardpoint pegs are universal if they're under the 30MM brand. Likewise, standard Gundam option kits are reverse-compatible (I.E. one of my Altos is currently rocking the 'short barrel' cannons from the Iron Blooded Orhpans set that were purpose-designed for Gundam Flauros, no modifications required)>>11280016Look up Iron Blooded Orhpans Option Set 3. It's Gundam Gusion's set and comes with two giant polearm halberds: one has a spiked ball on top of the blade (and can be deployed as a simultaneous spiked flail on a chain), the other is a slightly more refined version of the same weapon and without the secondary weapon on the top.
>>11280675typical american retardation
>>11280016Will this work
I have created... fat Mao.
I've finally painted my first girpla which i think turned out well, very different than just gunpla painting>>11280762cute tummy
>>11280762American Mao.
>>11280762she needs some fat titties too
>>11280821LMFAOOOOOOO
>>11280408Things like the puni mofus and first few buster dolls were super popular and sold out quickly. There are plenty of older MD/FAG kits available though if you browse surugaya or wherever.
>>11280850Can I be buying puni mofus from this website called gundamit? It seems like they are having it in stock.
>>11280870Gundamit is a reliable platform, yeah. Bought tons of stuff from them.
>>11280870Gundamit is reliable yeah. you're somewhat overpaying since the sticker price is 6000 yen before shipping (about 38 usd). So if it wasn't sold out everywhere else it'd probably be possible to get it cheaper.
>>11280812always nice to see some chitocerium in these threads
>>11280907>>11280887Ok just wanted to make sure I wasn't getting a bootleg or something thanks.
>>11280870You could actually get it cheaper on aliexpress
>>11280909Gundamit/showz are legit, ive been on and off buying from them for over a decade.They are getting more expensive since last year though.There are a lot more orders than this but for some retarded reason, my preorder and order page never merged.
>>11280919This is true. But only during sales with good x of y coupons and with coin discount from the app. I got my Mao for $50.53 during 11.11. (Still struggling with trying to fix my fuckups without oversanding.)
>>11280812I'd paint my Platinum if there were eye decals. Does anyone make custom eye decals for them at least?
>>11280992i couldn't find any so i just ended up clear coating the face and vaguely matching the other skin to her, wish they would sell a sheet of waterslides for chitocerium.
>>11281040that's neat. too bad it seems to be in-person stores only
>>11280427>>11280429Do you have any Sousai Shojo Teien grill? the Idols are compatible with these? I'm curious if it's possible to make them school girls
Happy new year, best wishes, let your packages always arrive on time, may customs treat you well and your joints never break.
>>11280963I played the games to get credits and got $3 off on top of coins and coupons making it $45.
>>11281129>>11280963Damn who cares about all that shit. That’s poorfag tier. I’ll just pay $3 more and stop trying to get the best deal from these chinks.
>>11281147>Saying while buying kits made by those same chinkskek
>>11281201It’s made by kotobikuya
>>11280870Gundamit and their associated sites (ShowZ, ChowBrick, 77Figure and GKloot) are pretty reliable - I buy shit from them all the time.>>11281163I got the one on the left with my Partio. Never actually used any of them, though.
>>11281224Their factory is in china dumbass
>>11281240Oh didn’t know. Thanks for telling me.
So the Seven Deadly Sins Jealousy kit is up for preorder on USAGS and honestly, I think I’m going to grab it. It’s so full of content it’s kind of unreal.
>>11281267>preordering on usags Don’t fall for it bro. There’s so many stories of people getting screwed over.
>>11281271I've been buying from them for years and have never once been screwed over.
>>11281271Oh, I won’t preorder from them. But if pricing is similar/better on other sites, I’ll absolutely get it. You get a two-head dog-bot, a girl, and a throne.
>>11281281pricing on chinese plastic is literally NEVER better from USA-based stores
>>11281201Its like when you see all the retards in comment sections in various places, like youtube for instance, bitching at people to "stop buying chinese made products, all chinese made shit is GARBAGE! BUY MERICAN, HURRRRR" as they post on a phone/tablet/PC that has parts in it down to the smallest level that are all made in china, like the chips/resistors/capacitors etc. These morons truly have no idea "where the milk comes from", so to speak.
>>11281283Yo, who bitch THIS is? Is that a Cerberus, or is it just a two headed doggo? Shit, I want her just for the throne and the sythe...
>>11281320>Yo, who bitch THIS is?read the thread, it's Jealousy.and yeah 2 heads.
>>11281322MS General Jealousy? Thanks fren, sorry, my heads killing me right now but the pic of her stuck out nice and caught my attention.
>>11281325>MS General Jealousy?correct.
>>11281326Found her, yeah, 99 seems like a pretty good price for her, though>1/10kind of sucks. Whats the black thing with the little ball chain coming off of it in this pic?
>>11281338Also wonder why the went with a 2 headed "Cerberus" instead of the classic 3?
>>11281339That's Orthrus, which is supposed to be the brother of Cerberus iirc.Not sure what it has to do with jealousy but anyway, they're different.
>>11281322So it's Othros then.
>>11281338>Whats the black thing with the little ball chain coming off of it in this pic?It looks like a flashlight. Maybe a UV one to make her green bits really glow.
>>11281338>>11281383It's a portable blacklight - she and the dog glow in the dark, and they're packing in the UV light so you can see it.
I can't find my gunpla hobby knife. Using my backup generic hobby knife is making me gouge out plastic. ;_;
>>11281403I've always just used a generic, what's different?
>>11281403it's too dull, change the blade to a new one
Happy New Year!
I took a break from building Mao to build Acerby, thinking it wouldn't take long.It took very, very long. And I already kept the sanding to a minimum. I blame the Sakura Micron knockoff pens I used for lining not coming off easily with isopropyl.I'm gonna dump some photos and then go back and try to clean up some nubs that I noticed from looking at the photos.
>>11278260I love those expressions, when do Koto usually release recolors? 6 months after original release?
>>11279271>>11279274Thanks for the responses. Any suggestions on applying gloss paint to the iris? These are small and I don't wanna fuck up the decals. There does not seem to be an equivalent of a acrylic gloss in my country. I guess spray can + masking is the way to go?
Acerby flight unit and support mecha.
>>11281750
Snipped up GaoFighGar's maid form, she's nice. Arms seem a little thin but I can't complain about her nice breasts and thighs, I like her frilly shoulder bits a lot too. Still a lot of plastic to go to get all the Gao Machines built.
>>11281632instead of gel try searching for matte/gloss varnish, or else acrylic medium. it is sold for painters to brush on to their works
Do you guys ever get two of the same MD? I thought this girl was hella bad so I just got both versions of her. I don't really even know what the difference is besides the face plate hair and mecha stuff. But I have two resin parts sets that I am going to use on each of them.
Pardon the shitty photo. I also built Mao (or her core body anyway, need to do the accessories still). Holy shit, she's a great figure. Great to pose and super cute, the hip engineering is inspired. Also the legs not needing seam welding is extremely welcome.I was expecting her to be smaller though? She's not exactly huge, but I had her at like 11-12 CM tall.
>>11282046Also got one of those SH Studio breast multi-packs. The resin matches the plastic colour pretty well, though it looks slightly different on my terrible phone camera.
>>11282055I wish she came with decals though, the extra unpainted faces are nice but not having the face decals for if you want to paint the face is a bit weak. I guess you buy the decals separately?Also just for keks, her with the biggest tits in the set. I genuinely have no idea what I'll do with these, they'd be big on a 1/6 figure.
>>11282058Probably for if you want your AUVs to be Taimanin-tier.
>>11282056What even is the difference between regalia and normal version of these AUVs?
>>11282087Regalia is the fancier formal wear version of those girls while the standard Susanowo is a full mecha girl build.
>>11281759how many parts on the gao machines need paint? im gonna snag one too but wanna make sure i get my paints in order for the new year
I assembled 30MS Yufia yesterday and I must say - I'm really pleased with her. Crocks are silly and back gimmick could be done better but her body, limbs and head are very nicely designed. I absolutely love her look. I honestly hope incoming 30MS models will match her in quality.
>>11282099Her colour seperation looks pretty solid from nosing around the manual, looks like Liner Gao II might need some red strips painting. Her gold and silver definitely need some paint though, as does the orange on the skirt, no decals dor that.
>>11282111She's so cute. I want to buy an extra just for her head and face so I can use her on the maid body.
>>11282195>I want to buy an extra just for her head and faceSpeaking of these, are extra head adapters only available in the hand packs and certain body packs? You'd think they'd be a part of the hair packs too.
>>11281632>There does not seem to be an equivalent of a acrylic gloss in my country.There almost certainly is. One of the more popular recommendations (Pledge with Future) is a freaking floor polish and cheap as chips. Like the other guy said artist acrylics will also work fine for tiny eye painting.
>>11282045I have numerous copies of the Asra girls in different colors plus a few extra Aois for parts. I also hamhanded little Sitara's stomach so I bought Big Sitara rather than just grabbing an upgrade kit.
>>11282045I bought an Archer and a Tamamo, which are basically the same kit under different names (and one has half a Rapid Raider's worth of runners thrown in the box).
>>11278232Who's this character?
>>11282350シャオ(梟)
>>11282367I can’t read moon
>>11282372https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%A2%9FAll the PUNI MOFUs seem to use Mandarin pronounciation of the kanji.Mandarin: XiaoJapanese romaji: Shao
>>11282386Tall
>>11282045>>>both versionsyou only got 2 out of 4
>>11281759Does she come with extra parts to equip armor from other Brave kits? I'm partial with Great Baan Gaan, but if we get Mach Sperion in a few more months, she will equip that.
>>11282430Gurren and Gouen are separate characters.
>>11282430I have some more resin parts sets for susanowo types so I might get some more. I have the handbra one, the bikini one, the bunny suit one, and one where 2 girls tiddies are touching. Maybe I’ll get the 2 gurren and gouen ones for the titty touching one.
>>11282521Got pics of these kits?
>>11282526It hasn't even been shipped yet for me but this is what the tiddy touching one looks like. I think it could be good for the red and blue ones or also the amaterasu and susanowo ones. I can't decide
>>11282539Noice!
>>11282542These are the other ones. I want to make Susanowo-chan very lewd
>>11282449Her knee to lower leg section end in a 3mm joint but she doesn't have any arm bit ending in a 3mm joint like the standalone Brave Girl had. I imagine the standalone release for Brave Girl 2 will add them though,
>>11282221Hand packs, new body packs (past Neverlia), flesh colored arm and leg parts... They used to be a problem, now I have more than I would need. Plus, new body options actually have two, one normal and one for these face armour.
>>11282539Man I need symmetrical docking pieces.
>>11282539Yeah, those are hot.>>11282546Right might be my fave set out of all of them.
>>11282546If you are on a budget an are looking for simple Susanovo tits you as well can buy some KO off the jp amazon. I have both muscuto and ko, and the quality is not that far off.
>>11282221I think the face expression parts have extra heads too. I just bought the extra hand part since it was cheap enough and will buy an extra hair part set when it's on sale.

1-day WIP of 2025's first kit: Ruby Eye!Megalomarias are simply an utter pleasure to build.
>>11282383Sheesh. Look at dem thangs
>>11278173Newfag anon again. Almost a month ago I ordered Luluce as my first mecha musume girl. They sent me Acerby Type C by mistake. Honestly I'm not mad about this. This thing is awesome. Now, what 30 minutes sisters girl would you pick as your first? I'm not too convinced of ordering Luluce again. But maybe I will do it.
>>11282963I didn't like her weird ponytail much, so I made her a hair bun with her spare parts.
>>11282965
>>11282963Yufia, Tukirna Diearth or Elienne something(the angel girl).Luluce is too barebones, those three have a lot of stuff with them.
>>11282963Whatever girl you get, grab yourself some 30MM dudes to go with them, something like a Revernova makes for great limb swappage
>>11282968Why isn't your waist joint flopping about? Did you reinforce it?
>>11278348>>11279341Nah, that is cool.
Has there been any upgrades to the 30MS bodies / joints since the early ones?The only information I could find is that Alka-Cardi has an upgraded thigh joint that apparently the newer Neverlia kit doesn't have.
Where are you supposed to pre order megami devices when you live in the us to get the bonus and other first run goodies?
>>11283009For starters the swimsuit bodies ushered an age of "seamless thighs" on all kits onwards.
>>11283009And it looks like Yufia and Rishetta (freesia) have new joints...?
I am too poor to trial-and-error random paint colors hoping they match my kit and I’m too insecure to eyeball it and hope for the best. What are some good matches for the magenta/red on the Chaser Costume and for the lilac details and main body dark indigo on Neverlia?
>>11283055mr hobby lascivius aura lilac and scarlet look good
>>11283061Alright, thanks, those look good. Any ideas on the dark blueish purple main body color? Not really planning to sand and paint her necessarily but if I get other 30MM gear I’d like to paint it to match is all
>>11283065if you have access to gaianotes their nazca line has a dark bluish purple that looks like it'd fit
>>11283020Can somebody help a newfriend out? I want to get the extra parts
>>11283066lol at the color literally being called Dark Blueish Purple, but yeah I mean I’ll pick up a bottle and try it out I guess, it’s a good starting point at least. Thanks Anon
>>11283073¯\_(ツ)_/¯ maybe try asking the proxy services if they can get stuff from koto.
>>11283094so it's hopeless?
>>11283095Try what anon said. Also look for proxy services that already offer it.If that doesn't work make a Japanese friend. I'm sure many do proxy jobs for some extra money. There are probably people who specifically do it for Koto right now. If that doesn't work then scout out Mandarake and other second hand shops.Where there's a will there's a way anon.
>>11283095Maybe it's available from the Koto US store?https://kotous.com/
>>11283098nvm. looks like only a subset of shits come with bonus.https://kotous.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=&q=with+bonus
>>11278179Ohhh
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPbI8AdrJlo
>>11283055>matching paints with plasticunless you're only trying to do small details you are better off painting the whole thing. get your close-enough magenta/red mix and then repaint all the already-magenta parts too. that way they're guaranteed to match
>>11283163>plamatea racing miku 2023 is releasing jan 2025I guess that means we won't see a plamo of the witch hat miku until 2027 huh...
>>11278179>BUNBUN Fighter>BUNBUN Cleric>BUNBUN MageWhich are those?
>>11283073Ebay fren. Sometimes you can find them from Mandarake with all the extra bits too, from what ive seen. A lot of times the extra parts arent really that worth it. Just extra hair bits in a different color from what ive seen. Maybe a stand here and there, I think the hand scale miku had that.
>>11282969Thank you. I appreciate it but I like dark skinned girls more. Still, I'm going to consider buying on of them. >>11282972That's what I'm going to do. I'm picking this white portanova next. Any other suggestions are welcome. >>11282989No. I used one of those dark Grey rubber joint caps. It's on the assembly manual. I'll post a picture later.
>>11282989My bad. I'm ESL. No. I didn't reinforce the waist.
>>11283345there is the shark girl and the smug skull loli toothey both have a bunch of extra stuff, but i dont like them too muchi am waiting for the new big titty brown girl with a gun
It's been a week since I requested to ship all my warehouse on hlj and still no news of the shipment like wtf ahhhhhhhhh
>>11283405They probably closed for an eternity due to new years.
>>11283304They were teased alongside the initial reveal of Yufia. Essentially, all similar 30MS designs to her.
>>11283345>No. I used one of those dark Grey rubber joint caps. It's on the assembly manual. I'll post a picture later.Yeah, I used that but mine's very loose. I even tried switching it with a spare one which was slightly better for a bit and then quickly became completely floppy again. I was going to try putting some super glue on it when I stop being lazy.
I'm building my first SST right now, and the lower half of the body is pretty erotic, these girls got a nice ass.
>>11283405Uptade I just received the email notification that they already send it letsgoooooooooooNow I am afraid that my clown president raised the tax of all Asian origin items to fucking 38% like hell nah wtf!!!!!!!!
>>11282757are these originals or are they recasts of muscuto?
>>11283486Who did you get?
>>11283486I just pulled apart Ninja Kaname and the ass is amazing. I'm glad the tech is improving.
>>11281805>>11282228I must be using the wrong keywords. Are the acrylic based paint viscous enough to achieve "doll-eyes" look? I've seen some Japanese drilling a hole and using 3rd party parts or UV resin but I don't wanna risk ruining my figures.
>>11283544Ema, I really like the fact they give you an option to wear shoes or not, it's pretty neat.
All done! I hit the solid red pieces with two coats of Jenolite gloss lacquer yesterday, and I think they turned out very well.The only flaw in this kit, in my opinion, is that the clear exterior 'glass' parts for the syringes weren't undergated.
>>11283768I hate clear parts with a passion. How do the pros clean them up so well for the photoshoots?
>>11283768>>11283773glass files are good for clear parts
>>11283774Yeah, but the stuff they got on photos is seamless and clean. Sanding off a nub isn't going to be enough if there's a mold line or some flash like on the photo that our friend posted. Do they genuinely just polish it like insane people? I feel like it'd be visible if they did that.
>>11283777photoshop
>>11283777https://note.com/jin_gunpla_howto/n/nec3bada8b027
>>11283051Rishetta Freesia Wear just has a completely different build than usual full girls since she has a locked lower body and bare legs. Yufia has a new joint frame, but it's mostly identical to past girls since Neverlia.
>>11283514Removing the skirt off of the Brave Girl, especially as GaoFar, seems to steer to the /ctg/ level for some reason. She's getting more and more lewd the more you look at her.
>>11283784that is... a rather involved process. damn glad i'm not into full-clear kits.
>>11283784Huh, the tools needed aren't anything extravagant. Thanks for posting this!
>>11280823She has em'.
>>11283807Nice
>>11283784yooo thanks.
>Even the spare parts are sold outI was hoping to get another C1, C2 and maybe B1 runner to fix the seamline removal mess I made and have a Japan friend bring them back for me.
https://www-kotobukiya-co-jp.translate.goog/blog1/labo/article/detail/403/?_x_tr_sl=jp&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB9th of January to see more of her.
>>11283920Looks more like one of the Chinese kits than a Koto one.
>>11283920>Anime Chinese Girl FAGHoly mother of based. I might need that.Also! Built the core body of my Rania. Used an SH Studio leg upgrade; need to dig out my pin-vise to adapt the kit feet to work with these legs but otherwise it's mostly cleanup before I start on the squid armour. I'm planning on doing her as a "Black Kraken" with iridescent black instead of white, bronze instead of gold and a dark wine-red instead of the purple- and most importantly, dark chocolate skin (like, Nubian skintone). Only thing I'm not certain on is how to give her easily swappable optional modesty for her lower half; I'm thinking a pelvic curtain would be good? I could fit it with the same waist-loop type system the strap-on uses to make putting it on easier. Was thinking of using actual fabric for it, I might even replace the kit's "breast curtain" with a fabric one for consistency (and totally not so I can replace the kit breasts with resin parts).
>>11283920I hope they are going to repackage this https://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/product/detail/p4934054016891/and throw in the new sword
Cute body option. Yeah, I'm late to the party but I really like it. Wouldn't hurt to throw head inside, however.
>>11283617if you want something viscous to cover small areas you should also check out clear UV resin.I know people use that on zaku eyes, no clue about girlpla
>>11283807god bless.now give her a hyper bazooka
>>11283475This is all what I used.
These girls are so cute, fun and simple to build.
>>11284158is her right leg fucked up?
I’m looking to try something new, can anyone give me recommendations of girlpla brands outside of Bandai and koto? I like ones that are super sexually explicit
>>11284188DarkAdvent is probably up your alley
>>11284193Dang yea I just looked it up and this shit is exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks anon.
>>11284188Like other anon said, Dark Advent. Specifically Isis. She's the best out of the bunch, easily.
>>11283933>resin partsnon non, anon. Take it a step further and level up your girls even more. Get some of Onigum's soft oppai parts. These things are fantastic. Picked up various ones a few months ago and boy are they fun. https://yawaya.booth.pm/
>>11284188Dark Advent or the newer Nuke Matrix kits.
>>11284163No, I had to do some cleaning but now it looks fine.
>>11284034Looks like your joint is showing signs of wear too. Maybe it'll eventually get floppy like mine. Mine's a bit better after I put some glue on it.She's so fun to pose.
is acerby d worth it for 24 bucks?
>>11284295Besides the fact that the joints are either too loose or too tight, I like it. I think I'd be perfectly happy with B or C too.
I wish the kit had an extra pair of hands.
>>11284308i am mostly asking about the price, cause i can only buy from aliexpress and not the other places you guys can usethe price is around 21 bucks with shipping, is it a ripoff?
>>11284325Seems pretty good. Cheaper than Suruga-ya after shipping and they're $20 usd in the states before shipping.
I love that Ema comes with her pen and a tablet, lovely girl, I recommend her.
>>11284340What website is this?
>>11284212That sounds neat, but I'm worried they'd not take paint all that well, and as I'm planning a full paintjob for her that's no good. Thanks though, might get some for another figure.
It's nice that there is compatibility.
>>11284351https://junkyardsl.com/
>>11284343She has two right hands.
>>11284364You're right.
Does anyone have Yomi? I haven't seen too much of her.
>>11283933How about give credit to the booth artist who SHit studio ripped off.
>>11284382I do. No pics or anything as she got stuck in a backlog despite my excitement for her. I should snap her out soon. Were you curious about anything?
>>11284390Why do people buy stuff from SHit studio instead of the booth artists who made them?
>>11284436Price and availability.
>>11284450avaiability is a big one. it's only recently that booth got integration with buyee, before then you had to figure out shit with proxies or forwarders yourself and probably browse a website in all japanese while being an EOP
>>11284452Not even just that; SH Studio keeps stock available so you can just order when you're ready, no waiting for restocks or F5ing to get orders through in 30 seconds. They're not perfect, but if you're deep enough into models to need SH parts you're probably also deep enough to be able to fix SH's mistakes. They combine CAPITALISM with the power of Chink knockoffs, it's hard for a cottage industry to compete.
>>11284452>>11284454How long does Muscuto have availability on booth? Is it up all the time or only at certain times?
Will the Frame Arm Girls weapons fit in the hands of all the other the other Koto girls and kits?
>>11284484Yes. Many Koto female kits tend to share hand parts, so there's no point in asking about it.
>>11284464Technically Muscuto keeps their orders open on Booth 24/7 these days, but he puts up the warning that orders will probably take over a month just to get made, and then whatever shipping time you'd have after that. Some older stuff that he has active stock for will get shipped out quickly, but anything new takes a while. Like the Mao set I ordered from their Booth took about a 5 weeks from ordering to get to me, whereas the old Susanowo stuff I ordered last week just arrived.
>>11284454Yeah, pretty much this. I do feel a bit bad about buying recasts and I'd vastly prefer to buy the real deal (I have bought from Muscuto several times before and his stuff is amazing) but some of the stuff SH Studio bootlegs is literally unobtainable legitimately; the leg kit I used forn Rania is totally out of stock on Booth and one of the other things I bought from them (a set of waist parts) was originally from Orion and is long out of production. Also, the fact that most of this stuff sells out very quickly suggests (at least to me) that the OG creators are doing good with their business and a few gaijin buying KOs purely because they're the only options actually available isn't going to hurt them.That being said, once I get my printer set up again I'm pondering making some MD/FAG/30MS/whatever upgrades. There's surprisingly little on that front available on the usual sites.
>>11284545If you make the stuff then please for the love of all that is holy make it publicly available. The only ones making that shit are the Japanese, and they autistically abide by Koto's third party rules and restrictions, and thus almost never make it publicly available. I've been learning 3D designs to print out shit for my little ladies for a few years now, but I just can't get the exact measurements and shapes down for organic body parts down (armor and accessories is a no-brainer), so I have to keep on buying Muscuto's overpriced stuff and what not.
>>11284560Oh I fully intend to yeah.
>>11284487I expected as much, but most can use the MSG ones, so these labeled differently got me curious if they're in their own size range.
i'm a retard who built my first mit with dual bladed nippers. what's a good pair of single bladed nippers i can get in yurop? i don't want to import memehands because it'll be 100€ + tax + tip with 3 weeks waiting time minimum because apparently the customs office has me blacklisted
