>>11585170>not FA Haykushikiloltechnically trueanyways I started with the SNAA Tristan, curious RG-like inner frame but man, the plastic of this thing is much harder than I expected
Asking once again:I have a kit that after over a year of proudly displaying on my shelf, I realized I could've done much better. I want to revisit it (redo some panel lining and fill gaps, mostly, maybe airbrush a couple details), but I already applied flat topcoat.Should I strip the top coat? What's the best way to do it? Or should I just try filling gaps and panel lining with the topcoat on and then do another layer or two?
Started posting onntwitter @goggplamoWill probably still post here
>>11585405Stripping is the worst part of this hobby by far.Unless you are broke, its probably better to just buy a new kit. Its unlikely that stripping will remove the panel lining, because lining tends to stain the plastic.You can't fill gaps on a kit that is not painted, unless your filler matches the color of the kit, and even then it probably won't work.
>>11585405What kit is it, I want to see!If it's an old friend and you were proud of how it turned out, might be neat to keep him as-is and just get a new kit while still fondly having the old one as a special friend. I'm sort of anticipating that it's not a grunt suit but still. It'd have its own charm by being an arguably "less" or "worse" job but still proudly standing next to recent and more detailed builds. Hopefully it's not an expensive kit, at the very least.
>>11585409Should use the gunpla gallery. Main problem is its low activity. Good thing is you wont be burried under stupid political posts and squabbles over stupid shit. Project V Hobby r3d printed resin white dingo proto beam rifle. Good shit. Nice print quality. Highly recommend.
That's half of my orders here.Now I'm waiting on HG quacks and the 30MS nurse parts.
>>11585904Forgot my pic
>>11585421Megami Device Little Red.I mostly just want to fill the seams in the legs and arms. I recently started doing that with my newer models, and it's so easy I want to go back to my previous ones and do it. This is one of the few that I top coated since I didn't think I'd want to change anything at the time.
>>11586671She already looks adorable and completely fine...This looks like an expensive kit however, so I don't know about getting a second one. And I'm a snapshitter so I can't tell you anything about topcoat
>>11585906MG Virtue is a nice kit
>>11585405An easy way to strip paint or topcoat is some isoproyl alcohol and a toothbrush, give it a soak and start scrubbing.A second one is dirt cheap on Mandarake though so I'd just grab a new one and go nuts with that, or instead get her the matching Grandma who's also about 3kish yen on there and fix her up.
>>11586949store in the mall has one. Do i get it?
>>11587410Depends, does it cost more than ninety bucks? I bought mine for sixty from Hobby Lobby, but I'm quite sure they're not going to stock them again for quite a long time.
>>11587437maybe 5$-10$ more then online
>>11587470Then it really depends on how much patience you have. Online webstores tend to have sales during the holidays, and if you're lucky you can save probably 15-20% more during Black Friday or so.Whenever I order online, I do so in bulk, to save on shipping costs. It tends to matter more for things like paints though.
something entirely different
which getter model is better? Im leaning towards arc, because dragon seems to be a retool of GMazinger.
>>11587551these seem really cool, but a bit overpriced
>>11588040I got it from amiami's preowned section for mere 4k yen because yes, a brand new AC kit is expensive as hell, especially these "full package" versions that include extra weaponsstill preordered the upcoming Steel Haze from Koto which seems big as fuck
anyone here have experience with the Volks kits? this thing really caught my eye
>>11585409I might take a page out of your book and make a twitter account for plamo.
>>11588205It looks like it wants to hurt my hands.
Any custom decal printing service you recommend?
>>11588308Okay fuck it here you go everyone @PlamoPower. Go nuts.
>>11588205I bought the Daccas soon after preordering that onereally surprised to see volks finally made plamos of the latest Nagano's abominations
Fat Cat is about to release a 1/100 model of the RG God Gundamhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYFOzBaSu9Qthe RX-78-2 they made was superb so I guess this one will be another great model
Hey anons, could I get some feedback on this please, good or bad. First time painting a gun with brush paints. It needs to be cleaned up a bit still.
>>11589711looks good from the thumbnail
>>11589719I'm guessing that's your way of saying it's too small
>>11589373Oh fuck, I'm going in on that one, I love me some G Gundam.I'm going to build my RG Shining tomorrow.
Can you paint these areas with a black gundam marker, or do I have to buy paint?Also, why is this general do slow? I thought gunpla was a huge hobby. Is there another general somewhere else?
>>11590771You may have to paint that since those crevices looks huge>there another general somewhere else?Yes /m/ but trust me, it is absolute shit there. Like holy crap, that general/board has been filled with genuine retards for a while now, I do not even recognize the place anymore. Youll get help there definitely but you also have to filter through tons of memespamming homosexuals there.
>>11590771you would need at least to use a brush and paint with acrylicsmost SD kits are known for having almost no color separation so they won't look good unless you really put a lot on effort on masking and shitthere is the /m/ thread but as >>11590807 says, it is a permanent shitshow now
>>11589711Here's the kit for the gun I painted. Kit is hand brushed in Vallejo. Not all that happy with the gun, a topcoat might help
>>11589803Didn't make much progress today but it's a start
>>11590771No no no no noI've done all of this with Gundam MarkerI'm not taking them off their stands for you but I did panel-line Mazinkaiser with a humble pour-type black marker. It has details in the shoulders, chest, head, sword, and even pilder, and panel-lining them really makes the details pop.I SHOULD learn to paint but I have not. But in any case, you can delay getting paint for now. You probably could hand-paint those details but I haven't tried this.
>>11591399Oh wow, thats nice to hear. Thank you. I havent used gundam markers before, do they come/rub off easily?
is Stedi a good brand for tools and such or is it the type of chinkshit that falls apart in ten minutes?
>>11585360I can see why this SNAA Knights of the Round has become quite popularthe aesthetic and looks this thing evokes are pretty cool, worthy of a main character (disregard Tristan's NTR tendencies in the legend)
>>11592699
>>11592700it comes with a whole array of 12 hands! first time I see this point finger mold in a robot model kit
>>11592543Got a pair of thin blade ones (not single) a while back and they've worked fine, for the price they are pretty good and their other stuff like the glassfiles are perfectly fine too.
speaking of tools I think my DSPIAE single blades are about to give out, their cuts aren't as clean anymore and they often leave a tiny little strip left when I cut.Guess it's time to decide if I wanna get another or just fork out the cash for a godhand
>>11593102Ruitools are cheap on Amazon if you don't want to shell out for Godhands. That being said I've had mine for like 10 years no with no issues.
>>11593102Maybe try adjusting the screw? I don't think they really "go bad" usually.>>11593114It's all the same factory. Same product. The dspiae brand sells the chink "3.0" nipper (godhand equivalent) for the cheapest so it's the best.
>>11593487>"3.0" nipper>godhand equivalentNot really.
>>11593638I mean, there is a noticeable difference but it's still pretty small.If we're going just by dollar to performance ratio the dspiae wins.
>>11593871>next to no stressvs>nearly the entire cross section is stressed>pretty small difference>dollar to performance ratioIf the "performance" is the ability to build unpainted kits without noticeable stress marks and the nipper basically can't do that (like the picture shows), what difference does the price make?
>>11593902>entire cross section is stressedanon that is glare not a stress mark. that photo could probably do with better lighting.
>>11593934Yes, it is a stress mark and there is nothing wrong with the lighting. Here's a different, out of focus shot I didn't use in the collage. You can see the stress on both sides of the cut pretty clearly. In any case, I did that test with my own hands and I can confirm that the DSPIAE nipper is basically dull compared to any GH.
>>11591779After applying it, yeah, but after that it sticks fine, I think topcoat helps preserve it though. While applying, you can rub it off with a q-tip or your fingers and some rubbing alcohol or sanitizer. There's probably better ways to do this, but I just apply, rub with my fingers, reapply because I rubbed too much off, rerub, etc.And apparently you shouldn't use it after building, since if it gets into gaps, it might cause cracks?
>>11592702complete
>>11594412
>>11593951Oh damn, it really is. Never seen a stress mark look like that before.
Always nice to start something new.Post WIPs.
>>11594492ok
>>11594525exchange their heads
>>11594535In a bit
>>11594492This kit's approach to arm and shoulder articulation certainly is original.Personally I think Wave should stick to what they do best (which is making sanding sticks) and leave plastic model manufacturing to Koto or Bandai.
>>11591399I paint everything with gundam markers, all these guys were painted like that
>>11595374In a row?>the three-pack of waterboys I wanted to get>that tiny Tetsujin>that tiny Combattler>that tiny western thing that was one of the first robots>the Valkyrie>a bunch of things I don't even recognize>a bunch of Gundams I don't even recognizeSDchad I kneel
>>115949477 polycaps per leg is kind of impressive.
>>11593951>>11594470nta but I grabbed my dispae and tested, now granted I didn't treat this one super well as it was my first single blade so it's probably a bit fucked bit it does do similar stressmarks, it's a 30mm alto if you're wondering
>>11595903Do yourself a favor and glue those wrist polycaps to the hands.They're insanely weak, even on the original Academy version.
>>11597038>father, give me legs!
honestly never realized balty had such a fat ass
>>11597484>SMPguaranteed to:1.- Be PBandai because of fucking course2.- retardedly expensive, 40k yen at least
>>115975233.has shitty ABS joint-sockets that snap when you just look at them funny
Is the 1/100 golden warrior and Osiris aerial dominator worth the money and risk? Bootlegs rarely seem to work out for me.
>>11595903You'd think a kitchen knife sharpener has no use in plastic modelling, but then you realize that it's basically a large flat diamond file, 400 grit or so. Very useful when you want to keep a side of a part perfectly flat. Especially well suited for wet sanding resin.
>>11597648Usually when you see third parties with very good reviews, they are GOOD. I rarely have a middling experience with chink shit and ive been buying/building a ton of them recently.
>>11597648I can vouch for Golden Warrior. It's pretty good.Also heard Osiris is pretty much MGEX quality according to the reviews. Too rich for my blood though.
>>11597648I can vouch for the golden warrior too, spent a few weeks working on it and it is a very good kitI still won't crack open the Osiris, I plan to work on something else first
i saw an anone some threads ago showing this airbrush with i believe a hobby mio portable air compressor? I have some questions about this set up. How good is the air brush itself compared a regular styled one and how long does the battery last?
>>11595378>SDchadI’m incredibly autistic and only want cute sd robots around me, finished mk iv titans test team colors and crossbone x2 ill take pics after im finish hydrating >picrel more SD, sd Gashapon with a diorama made of 3x5 index cards
>>11599330This is so cool... I at least want more articulation than just the head and arm swivels, but seeing them all nice and detailed is really impressive, especially with a cool background like that.>there's even platforms for them to stand on
>>11594412This is OOB no paint right? In the middle of building mine
>>11599388yes, no paint, just some panel lining
>>11599330>>11595374No MGSDs?
>>11588205VSMS kits are very high quality but the build process is a bit of a painThe clear plastic is very hard and brittle, and Volks' gate marks are huge, so cutting off nubs takes some patiencePolishing and surface prep is also extremely important, and fuckups are very difficult to fix because you have to paint straight over the clear plastic with no primerThe joint parts are ABS and require ABS cement, a huge pain in the ass to deal with in my experience
>>11600406Also, painting GTMs is an unforgiving endeavor, your paintjob has to be perfectly even and consistent because the translucent armor will make any inconsistency in the paintjob glaringly obvious, and paint mixing is a required skill if you don't live in Asia where you can buy Volks' custom paint mixes, or import them from China.
Got some progress on Nadleeh
>>11585846bro clean your fucking shit theres dust and hair and shit all over that gm
>>11600635Sorry, I have cats so it gets dusty in my room.
>>11600406I do have the first IMS Bangdoll kit but I enver built it due to seeing videos stating how difficult and shit it was to build, glue and paint but honestly, I may as well try another OOB and just see how it looks
>>11600406the daccas looks pretty good by merely straight building it, no paint used:https://hjweb.jp/article/1763660/2/if anything, it seems the real challenge of those kits is removing the nubs from the clear parts
>>11600865Daccas and Kaiserin look pretty good OOB, this one not so muchBut yes, the nub removal and surface prep are the hardest parts (they pack the runners in protective bags to prevent scratches but my parts were still scratched the fuck up)
>>11600865that does look nice, I bough that model kit and it is on its way so it should arrive soon, it may be a breath of fresh air from the usual gundam stuff>>11600905reminds me bandai's transparent kits, are you supposed to topcoat these? even if you use clear topcoat won't the parts get foggy?
>>11600911This is what a painted one is supposed to look like, they aren't meant to be fully clear like Bandai's clear kits, canonically they look opaque from far away but semi transparent from up close.
>>11600820VSMS kits are very unique and interesting builds and a much more enjoyable process than Volks' older plastic kits which were more akin to building an old military model in the shape of a robot. There are just some precautions to be aware of.
Is there any good place to keep this part or do you just leave it in shield mode?
>>11600989i dont mean to be rude but is that your hand?
Something I finished awhile ago, just never posted it
>>11600627Okay, Virtue begins tomorrow.
>>11601483I dig the mauve with that green-gray, good stuff.
Gave this Bandai Liber Knight some gold trimmed armor to make it more visually interesting. What do you guys think?
>>11601710Gold trim is a classic for a paladin/good guy look, if that's what you're going for. Did you use a gundam marker or something similar? The brush marks on the codpiece are very visible in the photo.
>>11601713no I just used vallejo model color, specifically metallic bronze. I agree the brush strokes are very visible, I should have thinned the paint a little more.
>>11601710Neat, reminds me of what I did on my Edelweiss a few years ago.
>>11601716if I do it again I'll have to figure out something better, because the vallejo paint doesn't adhere super well to bare plastic. I did try and sand it a little bit to get a rough surface it could bite on to, but it only helps so much without primer.
>>11601710as >>11601713 says, gold trim is a timeless classic for any armored knightyou caould maybe try just tiny bit of weathering to try to improve the overall look
>>11601722I'm more of a vehicle models guy and I wasn't really sure how to weather gunpla type stuff. I had seen this one on reddit after trying to find any examples of other people's builds (and its what inspired the gold trim in the first place) and I really like the look of it, but he doesn't say how he pulled it off besides it just being dry brushed.
>>11601719You might want to try something that bites into the plastic more aggressively like a solvent-based acrylic or lacquer, or seal the whole thing in under a layer of clearcoat.For what it's worth the Revell acrylic I used for mine has held up fine, but I don't handle her very much.
>>11601734I'll probably give it all a blast of clear coat when the paint has had some time to dry and cure. I usually use mr hobby lacquer and an airbrush when I'm building scale models, but the thought of masking off all of these pieces to do that here makes me want to suck start a shotgun
>>11601739I've never had good luck with vallejo sticking to bare plastic, I've always had prime it beforehand. If you have it, their brush on primer isn't too bad if you're only using it for small stuff like trim and detail work.
>work on a night shift>pay is good but I end up too tired to work on my toys (same reason why I dropped 40k minis)>buy them assembed and painted at a 500% markup on ebayAm I the only one?
>>11602018I mean, half the fun is building and painting yourself so I would say you're a rarity
>>11602062I used to buy Zeonography, MSIAs and Robot Spirits, but prices are getting so outrageous that I'll rather fork the extra cash and buy a better-looking product
>>11602018why not just buy robot damashis?
>>11601637Thanks anon. Ive been curious about this- to those that paint, how do you decide your color scheme if your painting it in custom colors? I dont really have a method, I kind of just use my minds eye, and as im building the kit I think "if this was X, then it will look good with Y".
>>11602119I do!
fellow europoors, what's up with the price spikes on HG kits? I'm not talking about the extra big/ fancy HGs but the new gquuuuuux kits. I remember the first time they appeared they were sold for around 20€ (a normal price) but now they are over 30€ and those aren't scalpers but normal shops. Is Bandai shipping them to the us first and then over the pond?
>>11602164You should give them all to me instead
I'm a 45 year old man. I've been collecting this and that toyline or card game or series my entire life. I've more than I even remember owning. In my childhood I collected toys like MUSCLE or Battler Beasts, things to play with the local kids. But they were jealous of me and slowly shunned me. In my teens and early 20's I collected Warhammer, Mage Knight and other miniature game pieces and had a fabulous collection. But I would only bring the strongest figures and no one wanted to play with me. Later in life I collected tons of other random things like Gashapon and such for no one's entertainment but my own, but no one ever saw them. Then I followed fads like MLP, Halo/Destiny/CoD Mega Bloks, and specialty toys like Glyos and my collections rivaled even the owners of the IPs! But... I was not humble... and was shunned for being a braggart.Not too long after that my life started falling apart. Work became increasingly soul-crushing to the point where I could feel myself slipping. In my darkest hours I boxed up EVERYTHING and gave it away to people I knew. If they didn't want it I gave it to charity, and if it was something the charity wouldn't know how to sell, I simply threw it away. Everything. A LIFETIME OF EVERYTHING.But a single random (and I truly mean random) miracle happened and my planned death ended overnight. I languished for several years not allowing myself a single new hobby since, if I was going to die, it would be less to trash later. But, now, I just recently latched on to Gunpla, making stupidly expensive purchases with some internal intent to fit in with a community I have no reason to be a part of, just hoping to at last find some kinship I know won't come from here.My life has been so lonely and why is it raining so hard now?
>>11602656Try and find a local gunpla build night you can join, they're very fulfilling and fun.
>>11602656Welcome anon, and god fucking speed. Built a kit and post it
Built the 5 hg gundam with some katoki elements, can't wait for the new ew hg kits.
>>11602970
>>11602971
>>11602973
>>11602976
>>11602976Also made a beam saber arm for the Heavyarms
>>11602656What kit are you working on first anon? Im curious. Also, dont be so hard on yourself friend, your more then welcome here.
>>11602977I always and only see the Shenlong still in stock for dirt-cheap and it's honestly putting me off of the kit. I don't mind Wufei or Wing, but the fact that it's singularly the only non-Leo Wing kit like that where I am makes me wonder if there's something glaringly wrong with it, or if it's just the character or design not being popular.
>>11603189As you can see in the pic, the green is missing on the shoulders and that's the only issue this kit has, but I prefer not having the green anyway so it's not a bad thing for me at all. In fact Shenlong has overall the tighest joints and that makes it less annoying to pose than some of the other kits here so it's not the worst.
>>11603445Then maybe it's just the design or character. Is the extendo-arm thing any fun? He looks standard and inoffensive but nothing amazing, but probably more impressive than Sandrock or Heavyarms imo. But if you get more than two you'd feel compelled to get them all
DSPIAE Siren is a decent glass file, but boy is it ever poorly designed. The back side is a mirror, which looks good in promo pics, but not when you're working with it under a bright overhead light (and if you're working under a magnifier it can literally blind you). Shit Design of the Year right there.Solution: painter's tape.
Nobody talking about the PLAMAX Dragonar-1? /m/'s version of the board is too toxic for me to reply to right now, so I want to ask for pointers if anyone's interested.
>>11604530What you wanna know?
>>11604530never built a plamax kit, how they compare to bandai?
>>11604973Plamax are closer to traditional model kits. Stiffer plastic, less articulation, tighter fit, etc. I'm honestly confused on why that kit is Plamax and not a Moderoid ngl.
>>11604530>>11604973>>11604992I have only built two guilty princess and one 1/24 votoms kit and they are pretty decent, quality is closer to kotobukiya from few years ago. Though based on what I heard the kits I built are some of the better one they made and overall it can be hit or miss.The difference between plamax and moderoid is that plamax is a Max Factory brand that is designed in-house, moderoid is a Good Smile Company brand that has the design outsourced to other companies. MAX and GSC has long time partnership since the beginning of figma but they are two different entities.>>11603526I swapped out the extendo-arm with a normal one since I was going for a GoL-insh built so I didn't play with it too much, but it's a pretty neat feature, the only problem is that it can't defeat gravity when you extended it with the two extra extention parts. One thing I forgot to mention is that shenlong has the best troso articulation if you are very creative it can be very fun to pose along with the extended arm.
>>11605235>it can't defeat gravity when you extended it with the two extra extention parts.Sounds like you got the CCA version of the kit.>One thing I forgot to mention is that shenlong has the best troso articulation if you are very creative it can be very fun to pose along with the extended arm.Need pics..
I've seen at least two reviews of kotobukiya's AC kits saying they're not beginner-friendly or they're for experienced builders. is this even remotely true?
>>11605761They do require a buncha touchups since theyre older koto kits. Parts may have fitting issues and such.
>>11605761>they're not beginner-friendly or they're for experienced builders.This is pretty much true for all koto kits released pre-covid, then they started to improve very fast to capture the inflow of new users brought by covid lockdown..
>>11605794>>11605763so, it's pretty much fitting issues? anything I should look out for? I'm not a beginner but the way they're described makes me a bit dubious
>>11605798Yeah mainly fitting (includes loosenes of course) and takes a million touchups.>I'm not a beginner Than youre good to go, I consider 99% of this board better than me as im just a snap shitter that only does barebones cleanup, and the few older koto kits I built werent too bad (takemikazuchi, ex s,r ed 5) so if you can say that youre not a beginner than youre a-okay.
>>11605798I'd say pre 2019 koto kits real issue is they pack a gorillion tiny parts for building up sections that would be much simpler in a bandai kitthat, and they also tend to leave very glaring seams almost everywhere, afterwards they starterd to improve but if you wanna tackle an AC kit be ready for that kind of thingI really hope they seriously step up their game with the upcoming AC 6 kits they are making
>>11605858theyre making AC6 too? so how's that set up? are they making them a different scale?
>>11605863Yes, they're MUCH larger, almost PG size
>>11605863here it is, they are making steel haze first in this new linethat right next to it is one AC4 kit, the size difference is massive
What does it say about me if I prefer old, cartoony looking kits and really toyetic designs over most modern releases?
>>11606053It tells me you are a friend
how do i cope with oversanding/overcuttingi'm decent at cleaning up nubs but i still end up hamfisting it sometimes
Recs for a good Qubeley kit? Bootlegs are fine. I was disappointed by a video of the Yiya 1/120, it was on my radar previously
>>11606479Isn't the HGUC one fine
man I'm building the IMS Volks 1/100 Bangdoll and boy, it is quite the experience, sure you need glue and be careful with the order to assemble parts but it is slowly taking form and man, it is such an amazing design
I think I should finally do my Unit 06 next week
>>11606553the waist and all its skirt armors are such a pain but once put together it makes quite an impressive display
>>11602978hell yeah
>>11606553You picked the worst and hardest of their kits to start with
>>11606875I'm curious why they say thatalso, keep in mind I don't plan to do a paintjob, I don't even have an airbrush and I think the light blue color the model comes molded in is quite eye catching alreadyif anything, Im just painting the visible areas of the inner frame with metallic black and small details, like the back of the skirt armors, but this will be almost an out of the box buildthe main challenge so far was the frontal skirt armors with the engraved runes: they are attached to the waist with glue through a very small frame piece you also glue on their back and the contact area is very small so even after the glue is dry, the parts feel flimsy at best
>>11607056nevermind, I can already see why this thing is deemed as cumbersomeseems like 90% of the difficulty is putting together this thing, holy shit those skirt armors are an absolute nightmare
>>11607295nonetheless, once put together it is quite a sightall the skirts remind me of a flower
What happened to the Robot Damashii general? Did interest die out?
>>11607409its here >>11586028 but seems whoever made it forgot to include the titlethat and interest and posters have definitely hit a low, no thanks to bandai's retrded prices and terrible QC in their latest metal build shit
Does anyone know any paint mix to make this type of orange tan anime girls have? Gaia used to sell the perfect paint for it but discontinued it.
>>11607729mr.hobby 30ms series?
Gave the rings a spritzing of a holo red Gundam marker. I think, I went a bit overboard but it doesn't look bad.
>>11608115My instinctive reaction was "why doesn't mine look like that, is this p-bandai", so good work anonWhere is your Master Gundam and a good duster though
>>11608205I was planning on dusting off those shelves today but I had an unplanned visit for most of the day.Master... Part of me wants to hold out on an RG.
>>11608288Well how about you plan on having Duster Gundam visit that shelf this week buddyAnd I get what you mean, I got the HG anyway, and there's nothing wrong with it apart from Fuunsaiki's back legs being made solely for one pose, but I wish Master Gundam at least came with fists, and I'm used to the retarded level of articulation that RG God Gundam has (even though I don't pose him, because it's too many moving parts and I don't want to break him). Got myself the HG Shining in case the RG was missing effect parts, so I could either turn it into a Rising if I get the RG or just stick with the HG if the RG sucks ass.>everything looks great apart from the lack of a Shining Finger Sword which I have from the HG, but the RG Shining is larger than RG God
>>11602656Come hang out on Twitch Gunpla streams. It's a great community. Look under the Miniatures and Models category. I know>inb4 twitchbut for real, it's been a godsend for me and the people are great. It's nice to interact with people in the same niche. Look for local build nights too.Also, even if you don't feel like it, you deserve love. (unless you're a total piece of shit but I doubt that)
73 dollars for a high grade on p bandaiAhaAhahahahahahaahahahahaha
>>11608539A good chunk of that is tariffs in combination with price hikes and inflation.
/m/ didn't care but y'all might. Got this for 77 after shipping and taxes and they still had some if anyone else wanted to grab one. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/191158
>>11607297it is getting taller
>>11609096I'd lend you a hand but I'm clearly not there yet.
>>11609741armored core?
>>11609828Armored Core. Gonna ride off this tangent to talk about >>11605798. I got the CR-C840/UL and Jack-O's ACs this NYCC with no Gunpla experience whatsoever. I will say it's a little explode-y, some pieces need to be viced down to stay but other than that things are going smooth. I only had to stop and find two pieces so far since they fell off, I'm up to the feet with the legs assembled since that pic.
>>11605761>>11605763Meant to add to this. Also these are probably the reproductions so they're probably better to assemble than the originals. Still want a Dual Face and CR-C98E2 Nine Ball.
i see on the chinese instagram that there are huge ass 3d printed rx 78-2s, like 6 feethow do i get in on this?
Posting progress. I just need to find a 3 and 8a and my RG Eva set will be complete

>>11607729i think sukima sangyo had some videos or patreon posts about painting gyaru skin for GKs.
