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?
>>11637587You could probably get the Rajang one for a decent price in ebay?
>>11636447>have you play with shitWhen did the entire userbase of 4chan stop speaking english?
>>11638359Around the time India got Internet access.
>>11635778They're both on amiami under names Gatling Fox Mitsune and Knuckle Kong Seiten
>>11636897If you're still here flip it over and take a picture.
Brown Background Anon here, got some decent deals from my local import store so I got some shit to show.GQux Guncannon is a nice preview of some of the RX-78 construction, and while the torso is novel and does a decent job of simulating the bulk of the original design, it’s a bit of a wonky end result. I’m looking forward to the RX-78 white version to add to my collection, and I like the parts of the Guncannon that I’ll be building again.The more I compare the GQux to other builds, the more I like it.
>>11638786I finally got an Anaim kit (it was ten bucks, why not?) and I like a lot of the design choices, not only in this kit but in a lot of the Anaim stuff in general. I will definitely pick up something else from the line down the road, since these things are crawling off the shelves. Too bad.
>>11638789…I also got 0 Gundam and Wing Zero RG, but I haven’t built them yet. I also have some 30MM stuff but I’m going to throw that into /mrg/, so… have some dark fantasy guys.
>>11637334Maybe it's also based on the shipping location. Southeast Asia could get a week delay at worst, IIRC, but there's no way Bandai would ship during the holidays, right?
>>11635778I got the magnamalo from hlj earlier this year. Its barely a model kit youre just putting armor on a frame. They also walk but mine came with a dead motor. 2/10 model kit and it made me cancel the others. Burgerland anons what sites do you use now that hlj is charging an arm and a leg for shipping. They tried to charge me 400 just to ship ms general sloth and adding more kits just made it more expensive
>>11638789This thing looks like it's missing a head
>>11638866I think it's on you for not researching what kind of kits Zoids are. Kotobukiya's HMM and Takara's RZM and AZ series are more similar to gunpla
Nothing flashy here, just trying out the RMZ line. Honestly, not a bad kit. There are some minor annoyances, though. The ankles are probably the the biggest offender in that they're not even a ball joint just pegs into a hinge polycap. It gets a pass because it's the first in the line, but I do hope future releases get an upgrade. Other minor annoyances are the lack of color separation on the black parts. It's minor because you can just paint it (I did), but at least on the HMM they're separate bits. One thing I thought was odd was that are pre painted parts. The white on the tail and the gold on the blades. The real annoyance here is that those parts have a nub on them. Again, you can fix it with paint, but the really odd thing is there are both white and gold parts already. Minor gripes aside, I really enjoyed this kit. It's right up there with modern high grades in my opinion and it might even be a little more. Like a high grade with a bachelor's degree, though that might be due more to size. While definitely smaller than its 1/72 cousin, it's still decently sized at 1/100. I'm not currently at home, so I don't have a MG on hand for size comparison sadly. As much as I love the HMM line, I do see myself getting more of these and currently have the noticeably smaller Command Wolf on deck.
>>11639070I was a bit disappointed in the ankles also, but ultimately I feel like I can get over it for a Zoids kit at a decent price.
Got this on a whim. I like it

Tried going for a weathered look on this one, went for a barely holding together one instead.
>>11640772A touch of rust could do well if you're confident enough to try it.
local model club had a secret santa sort of thing for our monthly meeting and I got these.this will now be the second Macross kit I've built despite having never seen a single episode of any Macross series in my life
>>11641630You should at least watch Do You Remember Love and Macross Plus
>>11641630Watch the original show and Macross 7
>>11641630And listen to Future Funk while you build your model.
>>11641666>>11641699I'll look into it>>11641703im generally always listening to japanese city pop and jazz fusion when I build so I'm already pretty close
What should I do if the plastic loses color or has blemishes after seam welding using goop/plastic cement?Is the only solution to just paint over it?
>>11641731Yes, that's kinda of the point. Snapbuilders don't use cement.
>>11641754Well... it'll stay on the shelf until I feel like bringing out the airbrushing booth, then.I like painting, but I'm in the mood for building.
>>11641731>plastic loses color or has blemishes after seam welding using goop/plastic cementThere is no real reason for it to do that if you use the right cement (no resin) and the color of the plastic goop matches exactly the plastic you are welding.

Is there a plamo kit for a Honda XR as pictured?
oh baby
>>11642848sadly, XR types are not "iconic" or "relevant" so Tamiya hasnt made them, or any model kit maker as of yet.
>>11643270What about the Bandai XR200R kit? Which could be a good starting point for a conversion, or maybe the Hasegawa XLR Baja/250R (MD22) kits would be a better starting point?
So lads while searching my local sites for any new stock I might have missed I seen some fast and furious blind bags and they looked like they were close to 1/100 scale and in person they are close enough heres a shot with some 1/100 scale pilots.
I was wondering if this might be 3D-printed and it's not. It's molded in smooth, slightly rubbery plastic, holds the bottle nice and secure.

why does it take bandai decades if they ever decide to update a kit. chinks are pumping out kits and they actually try to improve upon them.>see MG 1/100 barbatos lupus hardly any change, shit looks like an upscaled HG>RG akatsuki using a decade old inner frame from the strike gundam and the cost of that kit is more than double
another gunpla release date, another case of HLJ not fufilling my order because there wasn't enough stock.yeah I'm done buying gunpla from them
>>11644436At this point I get all my gunpla from second market sources.I no longer have to worry about preorders and such. And older kits are great ways to try new skills such as pla plate stuff.
>>11644272>>11644436great opportunity to branch out of gunpla into wider plamo
>>11644493pretty much the same here, or getting it off my local hobby store that has been really good with getting in new and old stuff>>11644598yeah I've gotten into the 30 minute line because they're cheap and are easily avalible here and it's been a blast, Fantasy is genuinely one of the best model kit lines I've built, looking into trying some non bandai lines, got some Megami Device kits I need to build at some point
hope they make more hg code geass kits
>>11644686>got some Megami Device kits I need to build at some pointCareful with some of the thigh parts, I've had a few just crumble on me before.
>>11644828thanks for the heads up, yeah I've heard they can be pretty tight so I am gonna test fit a lot just to make sure
41yo here, this is my very first model
>>11645584Aand finished it while we were down, my very first kit, I'm honestly surprised I didn't broke anything.I'll wait a couple of days as to not burn out, but I have the YMS-08B ready!
>>11645595Hell yeah man, nice work.
>>11644272it's easier to improve on an existing design than to make a perfect one right awayalso bandai has to recoup r&d costs somehowcan't believe i'm defending them but facts are facts

>>11642897This model is cool as fuck AnonWhere did you buy it from?
/smg/nigger hereQRD for someone who has built 80-something model kits? What do I buy and where does the weathering go? What to buy (as far as brands are concerned, I know that there is Bandai, Meng and a few others)? Building a model for a girl who *loves* anime, she likes Evangelion, TTGL, Code Geese (Peace was Never an Option) and Escaflowne. No clue if she has seen Macross, Gundam or The Big O, but I might do Gundam anyway and also include a flash drive with the full anime of said series (depending on which one, the local shop has a lot of UC, Wing, G, SEED, SD and Build), if she has not seen it. I know that she has not seen Rayearth, if that matters.
>>11649579Are you asking what kits to buy or what you need for weathering?Because kit wise it depends on who makes what, Bandai has made Code Geass kits and the RG Evas, there's a Moderoid Escaflowne, there are the Plaiobot Gurren Lagann kits, I think they're doing a reissue for Gurren Lagann itself next year? and there's Lazengann and Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann.Weathering is something you'd probably be better looking at some tutorials for but it's not too hard if you just want to make the grimy rusty look.
>>11649594>Are you asking what kits to buy or what you need for weathering?Both.Thank you for the information. I will do my research. Any recommended YouTube channels or websites (apart from Scalemates)?
Anyone know much about Chinese plamos on Ali/etc? I was hoping to find some cool original shit, but the only inexpensive shit I see is clones or IP copies. They seem alright, but still...
>>11650031If Chinese bootlegging companies attempt to make an "original" kit, whether it's a Wuxia Notdam with dragons and spikes or a Gundam IP design at a scale that Bandai hasn't done yet, they tend to try to charge prices comparable to Bandai if not more. If it's a wholesale copy of an existing Gunpla kit, they tend to try to undercut Bandai and sell it for cheap.More of the original stuff is starting to make it to US webstores like USAGS or Newtype. Ali is where you go to find Daban shit.
>>11650057I see. Any of the budget shit (ie, sub $10) worth peeking at, or is it gonna be a waste of money compared to the alternatives? I just haven't built a kit in a while, but I need to fill up an Ali cart and thought it'd be cool.
>>11650064The general rule of thumb for those is, expect to have to do a decent amount of your own work to make it look good (filling in holes with putty, filing down connection parts to make them fit properly, etc.). They tend to cut corners in order to maximize profits, on top of generally not being very good at what they do. It also varies depending on the bootlegging company, which unfortunately is something I have very little knowledge of. For instance, there's apparently at least two companies that bootleg the HG GM Spartan, one of them good and the other bad. They also will occasionally change the naming on the packaging and some of them will quickly go out of business and sell their molds to others on very short notice, so it's something you kind of have to do your own research on or know someone who keeps up with this shit regularly.All in all, it's generally something you buy if the Bandai version isn't readily available, the Bandai version is too expensive, or you just want to roll the dice and get some kitbashing material. I know that Daban tends to be "reliable" but their shit also requires work. I think JMS is another reputed bootlegger. But again, this is not something I go out of my way to do research for.

>>11650476*whistles*So its supposed to do the detail work traditionally done by the hobby knife?Is it like a razor blade, or more of an ultra fine file?
>>11650528>So its supposed to do the detail work traditionally done by the hobby knife?No, it's a scraper/chisel, it doesn't "cut" stuff like a hobby knife.>Is it like a razor blade, or more of an ultra fine file?Neither. It's a relatively thick piece of ceramic sharpened at 60 degree angle. You can't shave with it (though you can shave off a nub if you have steady hands), you can scrape off flash along the side of a part and you can make v-shaped panel lines.

>>11650031Chinese OCs aren't going to be cheap, at least that's what I've seen. This girlpla I'm building right now cost about the price of MG Nu Gundam and it's very detailed with plenty of part/ color separations plus gimmick where you can swap between full robot head and human head, among other things.In recent years, the chinese plamo hobby industry is getting pretty serious so for these OCs, you will be expecting them to cost serious money similar to the Japanese counterparts.
>>11650768Whats the most difficult, skill involved kit you have worked on?

>be at Gundam base>Limited version Hguc hyaku shiki restockThere are 2 version of thisThe champagne gold set that with the mk2/zeta and the chrome standalone versionJust what color is this supposed to be? Which one should I get?
>>11651388How much are they and how much do you like the Zeta, Mk II, and Hyakushiki, and do you paint
>>11651388>>11651416>both Hyakushikis have different coating>Mk II has different colours>it's the 0088 P-Bandai Zeta and not the default Zeta, apparently has more colour correction than the regularIt just depends on how much you love the other things and whether you paint. I have the regular HGs for the Hyakushiki and Mk II and look forward to getting the Zeta, but I know people who disliked the regular Hyakushiki just painted it themselves
>>11651416The 3 in 1 is like twice as expensive than the standalone chromeBut I don't particularly care about getting another revive mk2 and the new zeta- that I think is clearly inferior than the original- though the box set zeta used the one with the color separated wing binders which is nice
>>11651438Then just get the other Hyakushiki if you don't care about 2/3s of the set?
>>11651139That kit being? And why is it so difficult?
>>11651727It's not about a specific kit, anon. Every kit I decide to build next has to have something I haven't done before/has to require a new skill I don't have yet/etc. That's what makes this hobby interesting for me and it also makes every kit I build the "most difficult, skill involved" for me at that point in time (which is obviously subjective).
This place opened near where I live!
>>11651826Fair enough. Godspeed
>>11649617Bit of an update: I bought a EVA-00 from a no-name brand (neither Bandai nor Meng, plus it is box scale). The girl that I am building for really likes Rei, which is why I chose it. Two of the guys in the shop said that they were very good. I posted in /smg/ originally, so I will copy some of the stuff that I said over there...I will be doing a repaint with the white being replaced with Vallejo Game Color Bone White with a white filter using AK 3rd gen acrylics. The orange will be a custom color using AK 3rd gen paints. No clue on the gray and red.Any recommendations on a wash and futher weathering apart from some sponging and drybrushing of aluminum? I am thinking of a dark blue-gray wash with Vallejo Pale Blue as a base and perhaps a medium filter over the black parts, but I have no clue whether this is accurate enough or not. I guess I could rewatch all of NGE since it has been a good five years at least and I just started watching anime for the first time in two years, but I am knee deep in a rewatch of Maison Ikkoku, so I do not want to change things to something else.I will be gluing as much as possible together, since I don't believe in snap fit, but there seems to be movable joints, so I will leave those free. Later an anon on /smg/ said just snap them together, less of a hassle.Any other tips would be most welcome, since this is out of my comfort zone.
>>11653274>I will be gluing as much as possible togetherIf you're going to do that then make sure you use cement and not actual glue.
>>11651835I went to a roaming Gundam Base on a comic con, I still regret not buying one of their exclusive Gundams
>>11653578>missed the month they were selling the base RG 2.0 and Wing Zero recirculation in London's pop upFeels bad man.
>>11653578The exclusive stuff shows up on P-Bandai every now and then. When I went to the roaming one when it popped up in my state, their selection was almost purely retail kits unfortunately.
Any recycle niggas around?I'm going to nipland soon, and want to take a bulk of runners with me to dump into the bamco recycle bins.Problem is, I won't be around gundam bases for at least a couple of weeks. Are there any other spots other than gundam bases to dump loads into?
>>11653741The extra jet fuel that will be used to carry your plastic trash over to Japan is going to offset any good you'd do by recycling it there. Stop being silly and recycle it locally like the rest of us.
>>11653741Ignore the other anon and enjoy the little animations they play for recyclingMake sure to film it!
>>11653743I'd be going regardless, thought I might as well stack my backpack with plastic.>>11653756Last time I went I vaguely recall seeing a runner bin placed randomly somewhere and thinking to myself I could've just went there instead of bothering with the Gundam Base. I don't recall where it was, and I'm seeing conflicting evidence online.
>>11653756Oh hey, you're the guy from /v/.
>>11653442Yeah, Testors medium... But I did minimal gluing. Weathering was the differently too, but I still did drybrushing, filters and washes. I feel like this can be improved upon... The chipping on the body is not to my satisfaction either.
>>11654087Also, that is the just my camera can do... My apologies.
>>11654089>justbest
If anyone here has the black magician girl model kit i'd like some help, please.I followed the instruction like i always do but something just feels wrong about her neck and how it came out. The necklase is too lose and the "neck looks jaringly ugly like this. I can't push it down anymore without the risk of literally snapping her neck but i feel like i missed something here. Or it actually is how it's supposed to be and i'm just tripping?
>>11654821From the pictures I've seen that looks normal. I'd say just keep on putting it together
merry christmas....newtype!
>>11654821I've got her and that seemed like the intended design for the neck/necklace
any thoughts on mercurius and vayeate?other than fucking p-bandai
starting with the 3rd party Jieda kit, looks pretty good so far
