are trigger airbrushes as beginner-unfriendly as everyone says they are? how much more difficult are they to use compared to a double action airbrush?
>>11634864God damn, that thing's design is ugly as hell. What the fuck happened to Digimon? How do you go from WarGreymon to THAT?
>>11635125They are good for coating the whole thing quickly (priming, topcoating etc), but not really for shading and things like that. It's all about fine control of the spray.
>>11635141While I didn’t expect my pic to be in the OP, I will say that Digimon are always ugly, which is part of their charm. KaiserGreymon is the combination of like ten different spirits, hence the clusterfuck.
>>11635154And I think Bandai's being sadistic enough planning to release MagnaGarurumon exactly one year after KaiserGreymon's by proxy. They didn't announce him in the recent reveals last week, so it has to be another September release.
>>11635145I know that's a common complaint with them, but I really haven't had any problems doing fine details or shading with my trigger airbrushes. It's definitely not quite as accurate, but I think it's perfectly fine for something the size of gunpla. Only time I bust out the classic style airbrush anymore is for much smaller stuff, like minis.
>>11635310>it's perfectly fine for something the size of gunplaCan you free-hand camo with a trigger airbrush? I don't think I could (but it's probably not so much about the trigger as about the distance from the hand to the tip of the airbrush for me).
>>11635141fuck you, kaiser is greathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYQrPB6m7P0>>11635245I'm almost sure they will make magna pbandai, hence more expensive for you to make susanoo
>>11635340And fuck you too, if they are making an all-original Digimon design with no parts shares P-Bandai. It's criminal, especially for a Garurumon parallel.
>>11635345>It's criminalyeah, right up Bandai's alley, unfortunately
have any of you dudes tried kitbashing? I'm thinking about getting some cheap kits and going to town. I kinda want to do something similar to makoto kobayashi's designs *not pictured here*.
The 30mm armored core kits worth it? The prices seem to just keep climbing its disgusting, even with usagundams sale they still seem overpriced and the bs with the gun packs not having all the parts bothers me.
Current WIP.Not much left to go and I painted the eyes.
>>11635322Can't say I've ever tried, but I've never tried free handing camo at all before. Maybe I'll try it on my next kit and report back.
>>11635497No, they're pretty small for their price tag.
Cooked myself a little base.
OH No no no noGunpla brosWhat is our response?
>>11635599What's there to say, the tamashi line is typically more expensive than gunpla. If you want gunpla to look good, you're meant to put some work in yourself like painting, scribing etc.
>>1163559920 year old plamo vs modern action fig?
I want to start getting into Kotobukiya’s Zoids kits. Is Godos a good one to start with? Also Guysack the Scorpion one.
If I didn't pre-order (I fucking hate pre-ordering) the Rajang and Mizutsune Zoids collab kits, am I fucked? I don't think I saw the Rathalos and Magnamalo reprinted at all since the first release.
From a friend who dealing with the floods in Thailand rn. Take care of your collection, Anon. You never know when disaster may occur.
Anyone have experience with Gaahleri's mini compressor + airbrush? Want to move on from spray cans and wanted something smaller so it seems good, but literally every review on youtube comes from an influencer sponsored by them so I cant find something unbiased
Hey guys. Started with an RG (left) and gave up. A year later I bought an HG (right) and had fun doing it.I like to think that they're fighting but left lost miserably, just struggling to survive.
>>11636067RG Red Stray sucks ass, sorry you had to experience that. It’s from when the line was still finding its footing.
>>11636260I do like the model. Considering doing another from the same saga or whatever they're called. So you don't suggest i do so?
>>11636293More modern RGs are way better constructed and have fewer gummy ore-built elements. If you’re saying you want to do another SEED RG, there are some more recent releases that are good.
>have you play with shit>Shit did not sellWhat went wrong?
>>11636447Its shit
50 euro bucks for this and the waterslides, good deal?
>>11636447wtf thought this was a good idea?
>>11636613Very. Europoors like you won't see another deal like that for years
>>11636616No point trying to understand Bandai and their decision making process
>>11635544yummy!
>>11636753>recirculation Wing Zero Ka for 80 bong bucks on ebay straight from japanIt's 20 more than if I had gotten it from the Gundam base in Camden a while back but hey, at least it isn't the 120 people usually sell it at.
What do with a stuck core fighter on my 2.0 RG? Felt like I was gonna break it.
>>11636886Pics my dude. Let's see how it's stuck.
>>11636888*flashbacks to a guardsman head glued to a penis*
>>11636888Feels like that red part of the body is gonna break off.
>>11636897Can you disassemble the torso around it at all?
>>11635599I want the chinks to hurry up with the 1/100 one
Say, if you are outside Japan and your P-Bandai item is bound for shipping in December, when exactly will your item arrive? I once ordered an item slated for November last year, but it came in on December 1.
>>11637328They send you an e-mail with the tracking number the day that it's put in a shipping container. There's no rhyme or reason, other than sending you an e-mail when the pre-order period ends telling you when they expect to ship it out, and the second e-mail with the tracking number itself.From what I can tell, there's variance depending on the specific items you ordered (I assume they estimate the shipping date based on when your ordered kit gets printed and boxed). I've seen other anons get their P-Bandai shipments a few days before me, probably because their order contained different or fewer things.
>>11636770FUCK!The one I bought here was a replacement for one that was lost in the mail almost a month ago and now that one is arriving today.I guess the good thing is that I got one for free but still.
>>11635778Anyone got any insight?
