Mama bird finally free from shipping hell.
>>11562902Nice. Mine's arrived, but I still haven't built my Lang. >custom partsOh my. Are the boobs actually original, at least?
>>11562892Don't forget, 30 Minute Brother
>>11562885I came here to laugh at you
>>11562922no stinky boys allowed in my girlpla fort
>>11562885I'm pretty sure Luluce singlehandedly made me a lolicon
>>11562931Do you even know what this terms means?
>>11562902WHO IS SHE
Idols look and act like this???
Idea for your 30MF fireplace, just toss on some blue paint.
I have Arsia but she's not Megami Device. Can she still be customized with the MD kits or are the joints totally different?
>>11562974Arsia is closer to a FAG in size and build. None of the MD MSG Upgrade packs would fit her. You can still give her weapons and whatever you can plug into the 3mm holes/pegs
>>11562974Depends on what you want to do, arms are compatible iirc, legs are less compatible but you can make it work with some modifications. The scale is different, so if you do leg swap it can look weird. Weapons should be compatible, same with any 3mm stuff.
I have to say it - I hate how I have whole box of different "spare" parts but cannot make torso/legs out of then since I always miss some critical elements. Bummer.
>>11562999If you're willing, putty casting, 3D printing, Styrene scratch building, and kitbashing could help. Any pics of which parts you've got extras of.
>>11562999Plaplate is your friend, as is pixiv booth.
>>11562768
>>11562963Nah, just Mei, she's a bit autistic, forgive her.
>>11563024>Chibis from the instructions cut out into a clear file thingThat's kinda brilliant, what materials are you using?
>>11563003>>11563001Tried casting from Blue Stuff/Green Stuff/Milliput, never achieved necessary level of replication. Biggest problem was about each copy always being more or less bigger than original. Probably could get around that with their Fleximold material (tested it recently, it behave similar to silicone ut it's reusable - however, since it becomes liquid at set temperature of 60-80C range, it cools down quickly while being poured and have honey-like consistency so technique is different than with silicone, still working on it) and UV resin but that's another can of worms.>which partsJust showing box won't tell much but these are spares from Innocentia, MD Kaede Agatsuma, Ayaka Ichijo Eishun, Hres Ater Summer, Asra Archer (Shadow) and Chinese girls - Nuke Matrix Fox and ATK Girl Quinglong and Jinyiwei.In particular, Asra Archer and Summer Hres have torso sections but missing enough inside parts to make them functional.
>>11563052They were too cute. I'm amateurish and my blade isn't even that sharp, so it's hardly perfect, but they look ok, and I can always clean them up some day. Right now they're just in a card sleeve, so nothing permanent, but I like the idea of a small acrylic.
>>11562902Nice. Mine is here too, but at this point my box fort is so big it will be a while until I get to her. I gotta slow down. Pic doesn't even include the grande scale Stylet and exosuit Stylet that were in the same shipment, and I already had a big backlog.
>>11563077Does it cover 3 walls of a 15×15 room yet?Boxes laying flat of course.
Get yer magus class up Yufia now, her price might be starting to do what Pepsi Rishetta's did.
>>11563101As an exclusive there's little doubt it'll blow up in price. But since the new Bunbun magic girl, Yufia also being a mage is a little unneeded.>>11562889They just love giving the Type C girls light colored hair. Basically blond or white 90% of the time. One day a black haired girl will finally show up.
>>11563099I'm sorta afraid to lay it all out in the same place. I do know that every closet and storage cubby is full of unbuilt kits.
>>11563121I'm hoping for someone with red hair personally, feels like they haven't done a really bright red yet.
>>11562939don't talk with the normalfag>>11562964cute Diglett
>>11562902nice belly>>11562963>showing off those lewd ball jointsslut
>>11563237>>11563299>>11562963LEWD IDOL KIT PEG CORRECTION NEEDED
>>11563121The problem comes when Marical gets a event exclusive form that makes her a significantly different class. Plus Yufia's sword lit up fluorescent clear green is cool as hell.
Phat kunt
January can't come soon enough.
>>11563101I don't want to think about resellers, but prices will inevitably drop once it shows up in Japanese 30ML stores this December.
>>11563121That's my biggest pet peeve when it comes to 30MS color c girls. >LuluceBrown girl>Sestieh, Replero, Bunbun mageTanned white girls >Ilshana, Siana Amarcia Fictional brown girls. Idk. All I know is that dark hair and light eyebrows doesn't combine well. I think 30 minute sisters needs a darker skin color, but it's too late for Bandai to start making it. It's just weird to think that the Brownest girl has the same skin shade as some tanned white girl.
Not gonna reply to bad takes, but I do want a Color D Ebony Goddess of a 30MS kit. I feel like Bandai could do it, but they're already taking a risk with the amount of Color C they're willing to put out as is. I know there is a sizeable market for sexy brown girls, but maybe not enough to warrant multiple darker girls. In the end nothing's actually stopping you from just painting your girls darker if you want.
>>11563422Didn't 30ms sc mei count? Though she is from another ip
Shadow Archer up for pre-order on Wednesday
>>11563077I also got my bird and a fox in.Been wanting fox for a long while and nearly missed it this time. Got lucky someone cancelled their order so I could swipe it.Unfortunately I had a plane to catch the next day so now I'm miles away and I can't start building for another week. At least I have plenty of time to decide who I want to start with...
>>11563578You'll want to give your fox's 'silver' parts a coat of paint, even if it's only a crude one.
>>11563603I would say any metallics will work fine.
When will 30MP Madoka be up for preorder?
>>11563583Damn, she's got some fine hips.
>>11563390God i wish real women looked like this
>>11563570I hope they go back to including full armor for the other recolors as well. I'm in the middle of canibalizing a spare Ninja now and I'm not happy about it (even though this is basically the reason I have spares in the first place). The first batch was a little too bare bones.
>>11563777I follow some japanese big titty models on twitter that kinda fit the bill.
>>11563832Other than Anri Okita and XXapple i dont know any other girls that fit those proportions.
>>11563777She's fat. If you're American, just go outside.
https://x.com/WZCqsGAwBUd4yD6/status/1967315683534118960She fell down the pipeline
>>11563832Anyone have a link to that dude that makes the SD gundams with the massive boobs using the Majin Bone kits.
>>11563850>>11564014https://x.com/MARCOhobbyThere's a lothttps://x.com/Yogu061Japs are total freaks
>>11564033Forgot pic
>>11563777I'd like a cute redhead, personally. Even better if she's got a twin.
>Set aside two small pieces for detail painting and topcoat>Immediately lose them>They're both gone so I probably just put them somewhere stupid rather than rinsing one down the drain or something>I'll never see them again either wayLord, please grant mercy unto your wayward son and smite my shit up. It would be a mercy. Thank goodness it's an Asra piece I can source a dozen duplicates of, but that's going to drive me nuts for a week.
>>11563761I saw a JP modeler on YT speculating they could go up for PO tonight at 1400 JP time
>>11563390>>11563396Truly a hideous kit. Shame what frame arms girl has come to.
>>11564185
>>11564187(You)
>>11564151That's a big 10-4, good buddy.
>>11564224Oh boy, aiming for Madoka, a set of limbs and that 30MS girl with the subarms
>>11564224I just wanna sleep tonight bros.
>>11564240Ain't no rest for the wicked.
>>11564224Good thing I'm not into megucas because I'm broke at the moment.
>>11564260Good thing it's only Madoka and only the school uniform. I dread the day the announce meguca Homura and Mami, though I also want it to be ASAP
The SST cheerleader is up for PO
>>11564033https://x.com/Supercombatbear/media
>>11564317What drives a man to this point
>>11564238>30MS girl with the subarmsWho?
>>11564326Some people like balloon tits.
>>11564328This one
>>11564331Yeah but do you know how much effort and money it takes to sculpt this much. I doubt it was done in one sitting considering how soft and sticky the putty is, and doing both the tits and ass is probably gonna take like 2 boxes of putty.These JP coomers do it to all their girls.
https://x.com/Papy_Channel/status/1967478754462318892I wish red head brown girls were real
>>11564336>subarms >it's a storage rack
>>1156433811 bucks from hobby lobby and about 15 minutes of sculping since that looks like shit.
>>11564341Meh, still looks cool
>>11564339One of these is not like the others. Why the hell is she wearing PANTS?! Ugh.
Welp, hopefully I got my Madoka.
Job's doneGot my police brutality 30MM man and Belveria
>>11564370>>11564371>order acknowledgement in before the promotional emailI feel good about this
plastic girls acquired, good thing I remembered checking HLJ while on the bus to work
I got my Madoka preorder secured on the dot when she dropped on Amazon, so I’m glad.But like, why the fuck are all of these girlpla kits nearly impossible to preorder? Is Bandai run by retards that hate money? They basically seem to be incapable of meeting demand on anything. They do realize producing more would prevent scalping and let everyone actually be able to buy the thing they’re trying to advertise, right?It’s like the Kamn Rider Gavv blind bagged Gochizous all over again with how impossible they are to obtain without resorting to scalper scum.
>>11564440Nah, Bandai simply hate dirty gaijins for claiming glorious kits reserved for proud Japanese builders. Japanese are just racist like that.
>>11564443But Mainland Chinese are the biggest scalpers of them all for plamo.
>>11562922Gonna make him the gay friend to my girls
>>11564444So? Already forgot about whole fuss with foreign orders and how Bandai got pissed off about westerners buying kits via Japanese shops, demanding limits and putting restrictions? It doesn't matter than Johnny or Pierre can't get a single kit, all that matters was how Takeshi can only buy 10 and not 20 copies of same kit because it's absolutely necessary for his custom project.
>>11564451My brother in christ I’m ordering specifically from Japanese sites and they still sell out instantly lol
>>11564440More cost effective to produce a run that will sell out rather than producing too many, and I think stores are just allotted a certain amount and that's it no matter how big they are
>>11564338Honestly, the time isn't a problem. If you like customization (the scratchbuilding side of it in this case), then the time spent on it is a -fun- thing. Money-wise, if the guy made the ENTIRE thing purely out of putty then that'd probably be anywhere between 10-20 USD depending on the type of two-part epoxy putty used. That said, wouldn't be surprised if guy made a wire frame or some such other thing to cut down on a lot of material since this would be a bit on the egregious side.
>>11564440>Bandai run by retards that hate money?Well yes, but also >>11564443. I don't really like setting an alarm for the middle of the night my local time to try to snag some girlpla, but here we are. Now to wait until February to see if I succeeded in getting anything out of HLJ's allotment.
>>11564443>>11564444>>11564482skill issue
Honestly I don't sweat it too much if I miss HLJ because 30MS and the other stuff has worked their way to the west, I grabbed my first one from a local store and ended up buying most of mine from there, more expensive yes, but great customer service and honestly with import costs it ends out basically the same, they are just model kits after all
>>11564489I should check whether a store near me carries girlpla. Being able to just pick some up would be swell, even for a markup. And with my backlog being what it is, I don't really need stuff day 1.
>>11564489I have seen 1 Rishetta once in a barns and noble. That's the only 30ml kit I have ever seen in the wild, and that was two years ago at this point.
>>11564443>>11564444Japanese scalpers have become a problem even for the Japanese.
>>11564500>>11564502Well it is more dedicated hobby shop here in europe, and they make an effort to take in new stuff and get from the eu distributor, there's some other sites but their long delivery times tells me they order in.Either way it's nice, even Amazon has some even if it tends to be a bit behind JP releases
>that moment you realize even with tariffs and DHL rape prices its still cheaper to order from HLJ than most American stores...
>>11564515Pot, kettle.
>>11564518The only talk about calling something black that I wanna hear is more black girl mecha musume kits.
>>11564515>>11564518>>11564522Guys, come on. We don't have to fight, girlpla brings us together.
>>11564522>first world nationt. retard who doesn't know what words mean
>>11564326Custom sculpting is expert level behavior.
>>11564371>Got my police brutality 30MMThis one?
>>11564786Kinda annoying they still haven't either made the 30mm thighs big enough for 30ms thighs to slot into the hip joint connection or adapters to do the same.
I probably don't need these but the hairstyles are cute and Bandai hasn't made any new good options in years, just recolors
>>11564867What kit is that?
>>11564895https://www.hlj.com/30ms-option-hair-style-face-parts-set-chiyoko-sonoda-rinze-morino-banh720139

>>11564966This goblin imp's head doesn't fit a body like that. You can just tell she's supposed to be a shorty.
>>11564965Love me some color C.
Why do you guys build bussy?
>>11564994Yeah i agree, this is sacrilegious. Let us have short figures, man!
>>11562885So what 30MS character is the next to be updated? Ilshana or Neverlia?
>>11565095Neverlia for sure, then probably Ilshana. That red girl with blonde hair might be after that given that she's one of the few that has also shown up in the 'story'. Maybe the blue shark girl too.You know, I was looking at my 30MS kits and I've 3 that are blonde and 2 have white hair. I think they need some greater variety in hair colors...
>>11564965>>11564966with a bit of black and white paint, these could easily be maid outfits... hmm...
Kinda weird a 30MS head kind of fits this old ass kit, but I'm gonna use the original head. Really close to finishing this 5+ years old project
30ms or frs teio kit?
>>11565221FRS Teio is anime accurate but it uses HIDEOUS joints, 30MS Teio is an original outfit but it has superior mobility. Want an accurate outfit and can tolerate DISGUSTING joints? FRS. Can you accept an original outfit with far superior joints? 30MS
>>11564965You guys just now finding out the racoon idol?
>>11565232what the actual fuck were they thinking?
>>11565259No. I was waiting for the schizophonic review
>>11565232>30MS pose is basically the same but without the horrible jointsUtterly mogged

>>11565436I love Getter Robo <3

>>11565436where are the girls from?

>>11565563Getter 1 and 3 seem to be based on Chitocerium twins, Not so sure about the other two, but Getter 2 uses the twins body.https://x.com/harukichi_nkmy/status/1968220307749298239

>>11565757>>11565758ngl, official getter robo girlpla would go hard
>>11565856>>11565852...and this is why Takeshi must absolutely get all his kits, not Europe or US.Joke aside, it still makes an impression.
>>11565866closest we have is Robot Girls Z
>>11565015(me)Now no longer in nugget mode. What's everyone else building?
>>11563603I wish the Grave Arms 2 and Combat Cell combine into a more accurate Punisher from Trigun.On another note, anyone guess what the 30 Minutes Label anime/film project could be? I want a drama series loosely based on HG Futari (Two Youths in Love with 30 Minutes Label?).
>>11566126I'm trying to do some troubleshooting on a Sunshine Susan with some Koi body parts. Needed to use sprue goo in her skin color to fill in some gaps, but I'm having that issue where the sprue goo is pocmarked with little micro holes that just seem impossible to actually fill up. Don't want to fill the microholes with surfacer or anything like that since I'd have to paint it and that kind of defeats the purpose of using appropriately colored sprue goo in the first place. Between a rock and a hard place here.
>>11564339>>11564965Silver lining, now I want to see a group shot of the Walküre planelegs with Idol Suletta, because of what they did in SRW Y.
>>11565866>>11566030We need Robot Girls Z model kits right about now. There has to be a market for it. Sure, there are a few off-limits examples like Gaiking (because of the Toei-Dynamic dispute), but there has to be a market for it now.I got an idea! How about upgrade suits for Z-Chan into Mazinkaiser and Get-chan into Shin Getter?
https://x.com/ILOVEINNOKOmk3/status/1968345554548850977Damn...
>>11566126I've decided to do a big round of decals, panel lining, topcoat, and touch up painting. I'm grinding through NuNinja and Sophia Relax now, I really need to do Lancer next and I have a Cheeseburger I've wanted to play with sparkle powder on for years.
>>11566207>I got an idea! How about upgrade suits for Z-Chan into Mazinkaiser and Get-chan into Shin Getter?I give you another one: Getter Empress onee-san, 1/6 sized
>>11566269>It's okay for people to have overflowing breasts in the air.>That's what freedom iskek
>>11566297Imagine
>>11566126Waiting for Nono release date next month so I can go extra with my final amiami purchase for the year. learnt my lesson when I combine order early month and pre-order get delayed have to pay shipping for a single mug.
>>11566207But the Gai squad the best part of the show after Getter.
>>11566297>>11566328Makes a lot of sense to be Grande Scale, but I don't even know who is willing to make the Robot Girls at this point. Personally, it might be up to Bandai or Good Smile. Still, Getchan needs the Shin Getter upgrade. And also, I doubt I'd prefer seeing Z-chan as Mazinger ZERO, since my mental image of Zero-chan is that she's a law-breaking sukeban who always thinks of her Zero Scrander as the first solution to everything.
>>11566207>>11566342
>>11566339>combine order early month and pre-order get delayed have to pay shipping for a single mug.Haha couldn't be me... I usually just end up adding a bunch of in stock and pre-owned stuff and spending too much money yet again this month, and the delayed item just makes a subsequent month too expensive.
>>11565852>>11565856Is the parts breakdown thing a meme, I just saw this in my feed and laughed.
>>11566550Your pic is a meme, but there are legit ones out there
Wish I was a Jap sometimes so I could score deals like this.
>>11566582What stops you from flying over there for a weekend with two empty suitcases and buying everything you want?
>>11566586Ends up being just as expensive factoring in tickets, accommodations, and all that. I might as well just order from YAJ or something. Also it's the opportunity, serendipity, that I crave. If I visited Japan for like 2-7 days I only have so much time to toyhunt before I have to go back, and the variety is limited. If I was living in Japan or something I could be checking back daily or weekly for those deals. I actually do check my local resellers, but it's mostly for western figures, and even when model kits show up they're not in the best condition.
>>11566550It would be funnier if it's in Asshimar color
>>11566586NTA but with 2-way ticket alone costing equivalent of 2 average wages? I was only once in Japan and solely because my institute was sending me on conference and I feel like that was once-in-lifetime opportunity.
>>11566713I'm not Usian. How much is a wage in the USA?
>>11566720I'm not from US either, central Europe instead. It's matter of distance, especially since war forced planes to take much longer, southern route instead of just flying over Russia. In my case, 2-way ticket would cost equivalent of around 1600€.
Saw this at the end of the Koto blog for the new Baselard release.
>>11566774I noticed that too. I'm not a fan of big mecha wings just because they tend to be tedious to assemble but the girl is super cute. Curious to see what the base mode looks like.
>>11566774Not Baselard, Rayfalx - it's kinda her big sister. We've seen that exact image before, but it was a while back and they never followed up on it, so it's good to see they haven't forgotten about her or quietly abandoned her.
>>11566789The image was in the blogpost for the Baselard and Baselard Exosuit.
>>11562885>Will you hunt down Sona?Who?
>>11566789Rayfalx is Zelfigar mutated into an alien form during the final battle of Frame arms against Durga II and Magatsuki Houten. Zelfigar is Baselard with new parts.Think rx78-2 upgraded into the full armor then mutating into the els qan[t].Honestly who the hell knows how they will present Rayfalx as a girl, but there is a chance it's handled the same.
fellas is it unethical to photoshop nubmarks/mold marks?also when seamwelding, does it make sense to do clothes/armor too? i assume for parts that connect to joins (like arms), i have to be careful to not have the stuff touch the joint. any particularly good resources i should look at?
>>11567000>fellas is it unethical to photoshop nubmarks/mold marks?Even if ethics were reasonable to bring into this, displaying painted versions is the norm and Photoshop seems like the backbone of photography. There's no issue unless you're entering a virtual competition or something.>also when seamwelding, does it make sense to do clothes/armor too?I tend to leave them alone if the seam is where it looks natural. Armor in particular gets passes more often because it makes sense for pieces to be separate.
>>11566789>>11566940I should also note, the Fame Arms Zelfigar that became Rayfalx is the white one, not the blue one. Fag white Zelfigar is og tall Base, while the blue one is the sister. I wouldn't be surprised if Zelf is fully upgraded>>11567019Depends on the kit. If it is a stock fag, just the skin parts are fine. Similarly with a megami device kits, though with the frequency of some kits receiving upgrade kits I wouldn't go too crazy unless you have a vision in mind. 30ms is different, since SO MUCH comes out for that line deciding on a specific build may nuke yourself later when something even better comes out. I almost screwed myself when Rishetta fresia wear was announced because I was in the process of preping my og to paint, and several of her armor parts are vastly superior than other similar ones.
I want to get into the kotobukiya girpla. Are the different lines compatible with each other? What are the differences between frame arms girls and megami device? I though they were the same thing.
>>11567185MDs are mostly standardized, while FAGs are more distinct.MDs are slightly smaller.MDs favor articulation over sculpt, while FAGs are fine with trading some articulation for looks.Both use 3mm ports and pegs, and the same hands, so accessories are generally cross-compatible. Most MDs also come with a neck adapter to use FAG heads, but the rest of their joints are different.

>>11567205Would.
>>11567205oiled up
>not into meganekko>but somehow find GaoFighGar girl really hotAlright, I'm gonna take the second hand plunge bros.
>>11567231it's the sharp glare
Meltina when?
>>11567205miss that bra is clearly too small for you
>>11567231damn, she can only be found second hand already?and i think the chances of a reprint is slim too
>>11567398She came out back in December, and the base body got it's own standalone release as Brave Girl 2 if you just wanted the maid side of things.
>>11567398Nah, Amiami still has her new, it's just that it's a lot cheaper secondhand. The Nip criteria for "damaged box" is just some slight scuffing at the edge, it's crazy how that knocks off some 2-3k yen.
>>11567407>The Nip criteria for "damaged box" is just some slight scuffing at the edgeGotta love their "autism as national trait".
>>11566126(me)Finished my Sestieh. Next up from my backlog pile of doom is a horse.
>>11567442nice I've yet to build mine, but geez shes more cake'd up than I thought
>remember I have an ami order this month>single kit, maybe I could add something else to it>see if they have any 30MS>oh, there's a Shuremi sitting at... 8kFUCK. Don't tell me she's this expensive everywhere?!Curse you for letting me down, HLJ.
>>11567442How did you build her without the pants?
>>11567474Just remove them anon..
this is probably the wrong thread for thisi found a stray YT thumbnail with the titles in pure nipponI didnt see what logos were related but i saw some colorful plastic fake crystals?i wanted to share it but i lost the video from my feed
>>11567474They just sandwich over her hips without actually attaching anywhere. Honestly, they're kind of dumb looking and I think they might have been included solely because one of the higher-ups at Bandai thought the high-cut leotard look was too sexy. When what it is is too delicious to cover up.
>>11567442>>11567539no wonder she's sold out in all my usual places
Chicks love the Xamelhttps://x.com/Tamao2_BNS/status/1968633363763175875
Someone mentioned Chou Kadou Girl in the previous thread https://x.com/deus3228/status/1968978358189875564
>>11567553Yeah, I don't even bother with 30ms much because they're a pain to get where I am but I managed to pre-order early enough (first 15 minutes or less) to get one from HLJ. I'm sure she'll be scalped if you can find one now.
Meltina box art reveal. She's one sexy snek.
>>11567613woah mama
Anybody got more pics of this custom or also tried giving their Tukirna those blade-wings? I'm having a hard time figuring out how the blades are attached to her back.
>>11567553I swear Sestieh and Sourei were available for like 5 minutes in one single online store here in Poland.
>>11567613Yeah I'll be doing the "fold the box lid so you can stick it on the wall" thing with that one
>>11567028>may nuke yourself later when something even better comes out.that's a good point. i'd try to keep it as "configurable" as possible, e.g. still being able to take the kit apart.is my idea for the joints right, welding as much of the seam up to the joint without getting anything on it?
https://x.com/nameko_numeri/status/1969020193713033319On God
>>11567939Dude only stocks like 20-25 of his kits at a time, they sell out instantly. Also there is waaay too much ass on them thighs to look right.
>>11567649Considering she's done by the same artist as Elena, it makes sense the box art would be nice. The Arcanadea series generally has great box art, as does SST. Unfortunately FAG and most MDs just have photos on the box now, I get that it saves costs but the artwork gives such a premium feel. I've folded enough boxes to have a little art gallery now once I get off my ass and put some hooks on the wall.
>>11567939This does not look human. Or good.
Boob Flaps drive me feral
>HLJ got hit by the Visa/Mastercard stickBrb, buying all the lewd stuff I want from Mandarake before they get hit too.

Keep forgetting that because I'm a retard who buys more than he builds, almost every closet in my house has boxes stashed in it so when I go to dig something else out of a closet I suddenly go "oh yeah, I've got those there".
>>11568432I don't remember posting this.
>>11568282abs? wtf I need this!
>>11568455Anon, girlpla ab parts have been a thing for years now. Just go hop on Muscuto's Booth, buy some, wait for them to get to your proxy, and mail 'em on out. It really is that simple now.
Animester's got a new kit up for PO - though I haven't seen it up anywhere aside from Amazon jp
>>11568513She can combine with the snake. Pretty cool, combiners are always nice
>>11567613God i love z-ton
>>11568513>>11568515Nice. Looks like a cooler follow-up to Galahad. I could use another snake girl to go with Meltina.
>>11567605>Someone mentioned Chou Kadou Girl in the previous thread >https://x.com/deus3228/status/1968978358189875564This! How can I do this???
>>11568631A bunch of 30MS kits and putty, how else
>>11568432>retard who buys more than he buildsThere wouldn't be anyone who actually does that, right? Haha... [spoiler]send help[/spoiler]
>>11568631that looks a lot easier than most customs honestly, everything is a 30ml part except the antenna, ahoge and maybe the collar other than that its just painting.
>>11566126Finally got around to building smug fox utage version. I became a boxfag for 2 months with her sitting on my shelf unopened
>>11568671Built her and her sister a while back and still have Ame no Uzume Sunshine in my box fort. The line needs more brown/tanned girls.
>>11568667I see, I just wish to know what pieces or kits were used to make her, I love the manga. (the Tank girl is my favorite)
>>11568775the bottom of the legs are from acerby kits, the end of the arms are just more upper leg bits, the shoulder is also from acerby. everything else is probably from one of the body kits for 30ms, the only think i cant identify is the collar piece but it doesn't look custom probably another body kit so the only custom thin is the antenna which might be some putty on another type of antenna from one of the other kits. the hair might be the devil chicks hair that i converted here as well
>>11568780Oh look, it's Flonne.
>>11568780>Wearing skinned face
>>11568671why do you have a lewd plant like that?
>>11568784Looks like a decent Flonne, too, though the face looks a little too mature for her.Now I want to see Fallen Flonne.
>>11568849im in the process of making a sorceror, at the moment should be finished next weekend, but this was my first overall attempt at custom girpla and first time using decals as well, im planning on doing etna next but that will probably only be next year.
>>11568864>EtnaNoice. Might be easy enough if you use Velretta as a base - she's already basically Arcanadea's "We Have Etna At Home".
>>11568397Holy shit, thank you so much!
>>11568455>>11568461There's also wooper: https://wooperseisakujo.booth.pm/
I wish i liked the chinkies, they are significantly cheaper than the skankies but something about their designs look off, that snake woman is barely above a 30ms at the local store i buy from
https://x.com/OMEGANEX3/status/1946544895105380692If I owned this I wouldn't be able to stop myself from hot gluing her daily.
>>11569246They better do a Natsuki as well
>>11569250Better be in her biker suit.
>>11569194So you'd cum on her once, realize the acidity of your semen actually permanently stains, weakens, and ultimately breaks down plastic, ruining her forever, and have to throw her out after a week tops even after all the money you spent to make her?Are you stupid? Just hire a fucking prostitute, bro.
https://x.com/fenekusu_rx0/status/1969597348641919176Pretty cool
So everyone agrees that Sestieh is a must have?
>>11569533I certainly think so.
>>11569533I’m not feeling it. Don’t like the outfit or proportions. I got ilshana instead.
>>11569533That's still Rishetta and her freesia wear.
>>11569564Also very good. At the end of the day, like >>11569560, go with designs you like.
>>11569533her and yufia are top tier, but yufia is better to me, has more accessories and a waist joint.
>>11569533I hope I will be able to get her once she hit European stores.
I really glad Snail Shell makes preassembled girls and not kits. My wallet would be wrecked if it were the other way around.
>>11569533I would agree if her ankles weren't shit. Both her and Raidira are awesome designs, but those ankles make them way worse than they should be, IMO.
>>11569705One would hope they wouldn't cost quite so much if they were kits
>>11569732what are you talking about?
>>11569738Well known issue on both Raidira and Sestieh where the ball hinge splits when you're using it because it was badly designed.
>>11563570It depresses me to know she pendant won't be that color. Koto insisting on lying about the shadow asra color palette kinda pisses me off; they don't even have the excuse of the pics being lazy shoops of the normal colors this time.
>>11564326The most intense thirst.

>want to buy some frame arms girl eye decals>they all have thin eyebrowsWhy do the Japanese like cholas so much? I don't get it.
>>11569950Just learn to paint
>>11569383No problem if you clearcoat it, retard.
>>11569812Sure, if you want.
>>11567201I see. Is any of the kotobukiya girpla lines compatible with their Mecha lines the same way 30ms and 30mm are compatible with each other?
>>11569953You realize semen is corrosive, right? Clearcoat won't save it, and the fact that you're attempting to somehow justify that you're a freak is just sad.
These are cute, but I'm sure there are cheaper options on AE
They see me rolling
>>11569897I guess these are compatible with Nendoroid a la Nendoroid Doll bodies? It does look pretty interesting.
>we have Sestieh at home>Sestieh at home:
>>11570011Nigga thinks he's a xenomorph
>>11562922Never been in this thread before. Is this an affordable option instead on sentinel. I love the ronin warriors designs. Where can I see more?
>>11570103Unfortunately these are pretty much the only pics so far, it's actually a reboot. These are part of the 30MF line so you can look up "30MF Ronin Warriors" for more pics of Red.Trailer for the anime showing the other warriorshttps://youtu.be/9s34ob0ZLuY?si=jDI2SzsWx11x6HS3
>>11570103Designs are also significantly different from the original, and since these are model kits don't expect the final product to look quite as good as the renders. But going off other 30MF kits, they're really nice for model kits.
>>11570042I know that the frame arms girls are supposed to be better than the 30ms girls but the two times I wanted to buy one I decided against it seeing them from behind. They do look very weird. Far too many open spots.
>>11570110for me it's 2 and 5. 3 could work if he got a very feminine body with a plump butt.
>>11570140I'm sure a head swap would be pretty easy onto a 30MS
>>11570138Yah. I wish they made a more mechanical approach on their bodies rather than an organic one. I don't mind the open spots and panels, but it looks a bit weird when those parts are skin colored.
>>11570112Is that a femboy or a lesbian? I can't tell.
>>11570254Femboy, they're all dudes
>>11570250That's what Megalomaria is for isn't it?
>>11570315Are they compatible?
>>11570008FAG Architect variants and Brave Girl have limb adapters to be used with Frame Arms mechs, otherwise, whatever you can fit in those 3mm pegs and holes.
https://www.youtube.com/live/-jfo1RX2t9Y?si=DklLLXukb--CQbuFUltimate tits
>>11570365It looks like the bra is a printed piece - nice.
>>11570329Compatible, yes, but it might look a little odd because FAGs are shorter than megalomarias.
>remember that Alpha Sisters Phantasm 2 came out this month>realized HLJ never charged me for it>check order>it's still Open Order but it's discontinuedI'm fucked aren't I?
>>11570828Yes, it's over. Time to hunt on the second hand narket
>>11570365>>11570373They got a Gal cosplayer to showcase the gal models, I can't say they aren't trying.
>>11570828Same thing happened to me with the red Bocchi. I swear HLJ only gets 10-15 of each Bandai kit, even when I order in the first 15 minutes I've only got maybe an 80% success rate.
>>11570365Oppai… I love Japanese women bros
>>11570365i would be tempted by these if the joints didn't look so terrible
>>11571063It's amazing how many mew and creative ways they can find to fuck up knees. Elbows aren't usually a problem, but those? Yeesh.
Look out! She has a sword!
>>11571155lolreminds me of a monster hunter mod that put a girl on a charge blade
>>11571102Wdym anon? You aren’t in love with these knees?
>>11571226oh god he reproduced
>>11571226Holy fuck, those are some of the worst looking knees I've ever seen.
>>11571226What knees?
>>11571226>>11571278Yeah, hard to notice then knees when looking at the massive, massive [spoiler]seam line on the thigh[/spoiler].
>>11571102Just use the slutsquat pose if you're worried about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ezwmSeM__UThe flower themed parts are cuhrayzy. It's gonna take some time for my local store to get it in stock though.
Fuck.
>>11571403Get drilling some holes and get some wire.
>>11571404Ty, gonna have to put it off though to get some wire, still blows
How noticeable is it if you leave the tail off a Maidroid figure?
>>11571403Which kit? Looks like early 30MS but I might be wrong.
>>11571421Looks like luluce
>>11571298>Legs look good in exactly one (1) position>It's this oneI understand everything now.
>>11571421>>11571512Yeah it's Luluce, from what I've gathered older ones can be too tight probably why the later ones I built were different, but thankfully I had also picked up a spare body to use so no worries there, I'm still gonna fix it though, just need to order brass.
Bandai please deliver more than 5 kits of Sestieh to europe.
>>11571526Any kind of wire will be fine, to be honest. You just want to provide core to secure glued section as CA glue have high resistance in the direction perpendicular to the surface but low in the parallel direction (pulling vs. abrasion).And yeah, old 30MS girls have tight joints, especially in torso section, my Rishetta barely can twist her torso as a result. New girls are much better in this regard.
>>11571635Seconding, I'm still salty she got sold out in SECONDS from when she became available here in Poland
>>11571635I'm pretty sure Australia got 4 Shuremi and it hasn't been back in stock yet
>>11571635Checked 3 store and one of them have 2 Sestieh for 24€ but not a sign of 30MF.. Just when I'm in the right mood for fantasy..
>>11572012Wait, she appeared in Poland already? When and where? I normally check local branch of super-hobby.co.uk
Cute scooter
>>11572169Huh, I thought this was just some custom, not an actual release.
>>11567442goddamn they need to reprint that kit quick
>>11572248There's already a motocompo kit so I assume it's just a rebox with the girl
>>11572169I check out the Ami page"Nice bundle, I like the colo-">No knight armor>ONE (1) printed face>5,8k yen plus shipping plus tax please>>11572301Motocompo (aoshima kit) by itself is 1k yen and the latest reprint is coming out next month, too
>>11572169She's cute, but it's a bit of a bummer that she doesn't include any of her armor parts and only has a single faceplate.
>>11572432Passed on this one, lazy recycling job like SST Seira swimsuit where they used Ritsuka's swimsuit body rather than doing a new one, even recycled the hair from Wolf. Like would one new runner kill them? Seira's boobs are clearly bigger, even a new upper torso would have worked.
When the goddamn hell is OG Wolf getting her Re-do?I've been waiting so fucking long for her.
>>11570314More like a crazy freak. Among the five new Ronins, Gai is the most insane of them all, as if he's using the negative energies of the armor as his true power.>>11570110We're not even sure if it is a sequel or reboot.
On a different note, anyone care for an alchemist with plump thighs in this day and age?https://www.goodsmile.com/en/product/1139594/PLAMATEA+Reisalin+Stout
>>11573118I care; already got my order in.
>order tit harpy once 1st sept rolls in because i got alt. mao on order>ffw to today>tit harpy already 1k yen less than new on the pre-owned section>she's the only one out of puni mofus who went below the price of newI'm miffed.
>>11573376I don't know why I pre-order anymore. Rakuten.ca has 30% cashback today for Aliexpress so my total might be $37.36 USD. Even if it doesn't, it's still cheaper than pre-order price.
>>11573425Pre-ordering is a gamble on whenever or not the thing will be sold out instantly and never reprinted, or is going to be cursed to be sold secondhand at 2/3rds price forever.I saw Xiao get sold out a few times (including the pre-order getting closed) before september rolled in.
>>11573432It does suck for something you order to drop in price after, but it's ultimately just a mental thing. If you didn't think it was worth that initial price then you wouldn't have (or at least shouldn't have) ordered in the first place. If you didn't order because you didn't think it was worth the price then it doesn't matter if you miss out because you didn't think it was worth it or you would have ordered in the place.
Urge to buy alt gunner rising. Only $38 USD after cashback. But my backlog is too big. Should I just half-ass my kits? Leave the mold and seam lines alone?
30% cashback was too good to pass up.I hereby swear that I will never ever let my backlog grow any bigger and will only buy new ones when I make a good dent in my existing ones.On the plus side, I have now collected all the original puni mofos and the smaller half of the alt-buster dolls.
>>11573376>>11573425I'm also not really sure myself. It's not like I don't have any backlog, so I neither need express shipping to get stuff day 1, nor does pre-ordering feel necessary to get kits since they usually turn up pre-owned somewhere for cheaper.>>11574071>I hereby swear that I will never ever let my backlog grow any biggerlol, lmao
>>11574071Don't make promises you know you can't fulfill.
>>11574071>I hereby swear that I will never ever let my backlog grow any bigger and will only buy new ones when I make a good dent in my existing ones.
>>11574071>I hereby swear that I will never ever let my backlog grow any bigger and will only buy new ones when I make a good dent in my existing ones.lmao, i sure hope you don't end up selling something because you ran out of space.
>Sestieh appears on Hobby Frontline but with "sold out" statusFug. At least grabbed optional parts set 18, 19 and 20. However, I expect her to appear in other shops within next few weeks, as it was with Yufia or Sourei.
The first batch of Kemopla kits goes up for pre-order next Wednesday at 2pm JST. Which are you getting?
>>11574632yeah she showed up here too and were already gone, makes you wonder if Bandai seriously just gives each store one or two copies
>>11574837None, i would get the flamethrower if it was possible.
>>11574986Still stuck in the year 2001, I see.
How are FAG? I have never built one but Ayatsuki is cute, how is she?
>>11574858It's actually possible. Or, due to her popularity in Japan, they reserved most of kits for themselves. There is also a problem of splitting kits across several stores. But still, I expect her to appear again, I'm another wave, within next few months.
>>11575148>But still, I expect her to appear again, I'm another wave, within next few months.yeah I can tell from seeing it myself they tend to rerelease some of the kits later on, it's still just silly that so many kits go away instantly
Holy shit thanks Dalong. Turns out that Stylet and Stylet exosuit bundle comes with the OLDER and INFERIOR Stylet mech that doesn't have as much part separation or pre-printed eyes. Thank god I waited on this.
>>11575058I fursecuted "people" well into the 2010s.
>>11574837Kitty! It’s so good to see they offer smaller chests. The ones in the image look a bit odd. I worry about the tariffs though. Is it possible to source without those?
Any opinions on 30MS vs Koto's Buster Dolls? I'm specifically looking at getting paladin if it mattersSeems like in order to get anything to go with the girl they'll be about the same price anyway since most of the main 30MS kits are pretty bare bones on there own, not to mention any of the 30MS kits I want the most (Sestieh mainly) is going to be out of stock forever anyway
>>11575312buster dolls are betteri still like 30ms personally, but they are objectively worse30ms just has more customisation parts overall, that are mostly compatible with any kit
>>11575315Yeah I was thinking of seeing what I could do with a 30MS and a 30MF kit, but even at the best prices I can find from shopping around that's almost the price of a Buster Doll already and I'm reasonably sure that once I find a configuration I like all the extra parts are just gonna gather dust in a storage binThis pretty much seals it for me, thanks
>>11575187Too bad mine is already here. And a stupidly thick (14cm) large box, too. Oh well. All the frame arms tooling is probably pretty old at this point, I guess I'll just be putting up with a little extra jank when I finally get to her.
>>11575352I'm retarded and I mistook the prepainted parts of the upgraded Stylet mech as separation. And there were quite a bit of these, so just like with the FAG herself, I hope you're ready to do some painting.Still, a big bummer.
>>11575293>possible to source without those?Not be American. I've been paying the same 15% import tax (plus processing fee) for years. A proxy might be willing to undervalue, but even then you might be boned if the customs type bothers to google the list price.
>>11575354Eh, she can't kick my ass a hard as hand scale xf-3 Stylet. Girl is tiny and her armor is molded in two colors and white is not one of them. Basically spent a weekend with a toothpick and the smallest brush I own adding tiny paint apps. White Gourai kai and Kongo for scale.
>>11575368oh, I know. If you're up for REAL ass kicking, try the hand scale innocentia. Pic related, I went the easy way and got the koto store bonus for skin-tone runner.
>>11575384Nah, I still have hand scale Gourai and Durga I in my backlog and after that I think I'm done with the hand scale line. Even working under magnification, the paint apps on Stylet were at the lower limit of what I can do. I think Koto had the right idea moving away from hand scale and QPmini and going all-in on grande scale.
>>11575388I find the hand scale line quaint, and it works with Hexa Gear stuff scale-wise. But I agree that it's a good thing they went full force on grande, allowing us to make funny images reminiscent of fractals with our favorite FAG.
I said earlier in the thread that i was making a disgaea sorceror, here it is completed
>>11575397
>>11575398she got that predator stare if you know what i mean
>>11575400i need to get that face decal thing that kotobukiya has put out, also actually get decal softener and fixer considering ive only been using water, also one of my non sisters customs.
>>11575401Regardless of how she looks, good job on finishing her. The decal application itself looks good from the photo, just alignment is wonky. Instead of buying the doohickey, you can also try this method from one of the FAG booklets
>>11575398i really like how you painted the hairdrybrushed it?
>>11575401The decal thing is for SST faceplates, is that a 30MS head? I like the D ring regardless.
>>11575402nta but is that? just really thin tape?
>>11575403Airbrushed, first coat is the lightest then the dark coat and then you take an abrasive and lightly sand to reveal the lighter tone, saw it on a jap yt video and im using the same stuff which is a disposable sponge polishing material will try to find the name but the jap guy is yuchi.
>>11575410Take a closer look at the first image.
>>11575402Why does Koto has all of these guides and 3rd party parts and optional stuff and 30MS doesn't? What's the difference? Is Koto not as anal as Bandai on hobbyist stuff or something?
>>11575430Koto has been on the girlpla grind for a bit longer than Bandai, and customs are ingrained into plamo as a hobby. HobbyJapan Baselard and Type 10 Gourai Kai both come with extra booklets that showcase how you can make your model look nicer with minimal effort. Baselard's one literally shows how simple and effective just panel lining can be in elevating a model's looks.Also I didn't know Bandai was anal about people getting creative with their models, what's that about?
>>11575401>>11575397>>11575398Cute!
>>11575355CheckedHopefully the supreme court overturns it all by then
>>11575415Abrasive weathering is a very japanese thing, and a super powerful technique. Interesting to see it applied to hair. Gratz on leveling up!
>not an actual product >you need to use three different kits and paint it yourself to make this>one of those kits is a dreaming style shop exclusive that is a pain in the dick to obtain overseas Give me a break, Koto. I even convert my gaijin money to yen for you, and I've given you lots of it over the years. Stop being such a tease.
