Kagutsuchi really feels like she's missing something with how simple she is out of box, something I don't think I've felt with any other Frame Arms Girl kit. Fortunately the frame arms version has a specific upgrade kit designed for it, and it's easily altered to work with her down to even having holes on the side of her knees to attach the front legs to them.
I really like how this looks, with a bit of thought you can even attach her stock back skirt and sub arms to the back of the frame on the back legs, meaning she can still use the super large weapons the base version was designed to use.I wish I could find my selector rifle, it would be perfect here.
Fiona and Zeke prototype got shown off
>>11711945>Red recolor Liger girl already planned
>>11711987>in before exclusive mirage version
>>11711987She has a painted prototype already.
I don't know how I feel about the Nidy Arcanadea girls using the same parts. >>11712000Good numbers.
Don't know how I feel about the L chassis kit yet, the body looks nice but the head...
So this is the proper thread? I'm confused since there is another too.
>>11712102The other thread is older and has more posts. Maybe OP will copy his news posts over there.
>>11712102>the op is present and updatedThis is NEW THREAD.
>>11711945Fiona looks great, but of course they nerfed Zeke because of the way this stupid armor gimmick works. I will get it because there’s no other way to have Fiona.>>11712062Didn’t realize these were L-type, they’ll probably dwarf my 30MS stuff, which isn’t terrible.
>>11711945shrek soon
>>11712024Nidy is kind of a one-trick pony art style wise, so you get what you get. The brown girl does things to me, though. Might not bother with the other two.
Big Lumitea is up again on Hobby Search if anyone missed the first round of pre-orders. I realize she's been up on HLJ this whole time, but I refuse to give them the satisfaction. I wanted to order somewhere that would actually fill and ship my order in exchange for my money, instead of just taking my money and going to the pub.
>>11712185Grand scales are just too big for me in a significant number... Baselard is unwieldy large and she isn't even originally that big of a kit.
>>11712163Shrek with Donkey zoid when.
>>11712137Shouldn't be that much of a size difference. Sestieh is basically an L-type Sister for comparison.
New Luluce hair looks so much better its insane.
>>11712174He does have a bit of a problem with face shapes being all the same. Other than that he is pretty good about unique eye and hair designs.
Does anyone know what the best topcoat for flesh parts is? I'm trying to replicate the sort of soft texture that a lot of the base plastic skin colors have without any luck. Tamiya matt on top of lacquer is how I have been doing it so far, but it doesn't look (or feel) quite right...Thanks for your help.
I wonder if the p-bandai acerby is going to be Sestieh or Raidira colored or worse, a new color.
>>11712452The skin for all girlpla is simply matte plastic. So you just have to find a brand's matte you like and go with it. Maybe play around with layers of it a bit since that changes the look a smidge.>>11711923I think the simplicity is part of her charm though. You get a brand new (great) body, some fun parts, and a simple design that's easy to build on top of. It's like a short breather since almost every single non-30MS girlpla release is super crazy detailed almost to a detrimental level these days.
Kaguya pre-orders on Wednesday
>>11712559I feel like I need something that diffuses light a little so that the surface LOOKS satin, I don't know how to explain it, I've seen paint jobs that look almost like they're patialy transparent, and I assume it because of how the topcoat texture affects the light hitting it.I'm not talking about having different primer and base coat colors, it is the top coat doing it.
>>11711932Needs more plastic blocks
>>11712573Hrm, it's probably a combination of the camera settings used, and the actual paint job below the topcoat because almost all people in this hobby (Jap, Chink, or otherwise) use the same shit for topcoats in the exact same way- it's almost always either Gaia EX10 flat clear (which is typically regarded as the best hobby-grade matte finish out there), Mr. Hobby GX114 super smooth clear flat (generally regarded as the runner up in this regard), or regular Gaia flat. Nothing special in terms of spraying techniques or thinning ratios. Just those things on top of the kit. Same goes for all the literal professional-tier guys you probably look at. So what you're seeing and trying to make sense of is probably just a combination of their camera settings and however it is they painted the skin.
I went to Suruga-ya in Akita City. I greatly regret not having space in my suitcase. I also didn't make it back before the store closed.What was I thinking buying EG doraemon and kirby at donky?
>>11712795Other pictures were blurry. Kizuna archer was like 3700 yen or something. Valetta was like 5100 yen.
>>11712803
>>11712807
>>11712795I was getting ready to complain about the US site's markup, but I actually only paid 700 yen above that Xiao's price during a free shipping sale. I guess it's just kind of a good deal
>>11712452If you're not painting, use a sanding sponge. I personally use 3M Superfine. It's somewhere in between 320-400 grit.Great help when sanding cemented seamlines, too.Here's an old photo as an example. Dunno if it's a good one, but that's what I have on hand.
