>>11729478I have the RG Hi-Nu (thought this point who doesn't lol) and the Nu-FF, I can check once I get home from wageslaving.
sewer skirmisher ez8 done. first time weathering and i absolutely overdid it because i tried every technique i could find. no posing because no time
>>11729534
>>11729534>>11729536looks pretty good but does that mean all the brown on him is feces?
>>11729534>"i'm done">"i am so done"
>>11729534>>11729536looks giga rusted
>>11729534>>11729536>don't like weathering>read the post>open the pics expecting it to be dogshitNo this just looks like a reliable rusty warrior anon, you did well
>>11729495hey that's my modelI decided to end up displaying the moebius zero on its own with the big gun attached
just got picrel in the mail today, what am I in for? also just finished ZZ tonight, FUCK that show and FUCK Judau
Will my plamo/shipping get wildly more expensive because of the war in sandland? Figuring out if I should just put in my orders now.
>>11729869A very large and fun kit well-representative of Haman-sama>shoulder stickers are difficult to get in and look nice>you'll painstakingly cut out 10 tiny funnels that you'll never deploy or do anything withApart from that it's great though, all the better with a stand.
>>11729869I used to like it, but then this came out
>>11729903looks bad and is a shit scale tho
>>11729869Really nice HG. Just use some pink paint or a marker instead of those little stickers.
Alrighty, I've got MG Barbatos all panel lined. Tomorrow I'm going to go out early, grab some snacks and drinks and hole myself up in my building nook.
>>11729506Any luck, anon?
>>11730353Oof, sorry, I completely forgot about this when I got home yesterday. I'll go dig out my kits and calipers now.
>>11730353>>11730355All right, so, both kits use ball joints for the front and side skirts. For the Nu-FF (which is just the Nu) those are parts H14 and H15, and for the Hi-Nu it's part F16. I can confirm that the width of the balls for the front skirts are 4mm in both cases, so short of something like the the skirts themselves being too big or obstructive and bumping into other adjacent parts like the knees and side skirts, there should be absolutely zero reason why they should not be interchangeable.
>>11730377Amazing, thanks anon!
>>11729959What parts need pink paint? I don't get why the box art has the inside rims of the wings as pink. In both the line art and the show the inside of the wings are black.
>>11731251The divots outside the wing binders, the set includes stickers that you'd put there but they don't look particularly good.
>>11730259I never got around to doing this.I ended up falling asleep mid day after finishing some chores I had on the back burner and wasting my entire day
>>11729495What if I'm experienced and I still fuck up?
>>11732394That's life, everyone fucks up.
>>11732394everyone fucks up, dont worry
>>11732394It's not about the fuck ups, it's about fixing them.
>>11729869Just built a bootleg mk2, I fuckin love her.
>>11732394I just fucked up this collar on MG Barb. It happens.Granted it irritates me to no end that I did it in the first place but you'll only notice if you look at it up close.
Are markers reliable to do full repaints? I hate brushes but want to get into customizing more
>>11733380Why not get an airbrush?
>>11733411Space consuming. I usually like to do everything right at my computer desk, where I don't want to be airbrushing
>>11733461>get into customizing>do everything right at my computer deskpick one
Got myself a tiny bench(?) disc sander. Supposedly it's for sharpening tweezer tips and such. Powered by a standard USB-C phone charger (not included). Obviously not powerful enough to grind steel bolts, but for styrene it's just fine. Rotation speed is adjustable continuously from 0 to max (not sure what max is but it sounds like 2000rpm or so). Comes with 400/800/1000/3000grit self-adhesive sand paper discs (3 discs of each grit). Seems pretty useful for sharpening/fine adjustments of small parts.
It fucking over
>>11734226What am I looking at
>>11734231Robot Damashiis replacement
>>11734245Walmart Robot spirits. Robot damashii deserves to be replaced. The price point is actual garbage and the Blokees are literally half the price for a negligible difference. Blokees can only really go up from here.
Finally picked up the RG Hi-Nu, I knew the box was big but I didn't realize it would be the same size as MG Wing Zero ver Ka's box. I think it was a $10 difference too so I'm interested in how they'll compare.
>>11734226looks like slop to me
>>11734226gundam blokees? for real? I got a few of the saint seiya line and they are great
So I got my 30MS Fuyuko, but then 30MS Asahi shows up. What should I do, pick up the Asahi, or go for a twin set of the HG GQuuuuuuX Endymion Overdrive and GFreD in one purchase? There's a sale in the shopping mall I'm scouting out kits for, which is why I'm only getting it today.
Anyone have experience with these? I got this one recently and the orange rust works fine but the gun metal and silver don't adhere to the little brush thing and I was wondering if this is a thing that happens and can be fixed.
>>11734947Are you a child or a retard? Is this the last of your neet bux for the month? Make up your own mind.
>>11734987I've seen others say the included applicator isn't good. Try getting a make-up brush instead.
2 of my mystery boxes come today! I sadly missed out on bundle M. They canceled it because of mastercard being stupid.
>>11735056K and L bundles, right? Can you confirm if they contain the HG Messer Minelayer, RG Tallgeese II, HG Leo-R, and RG G3 Gundam 2.0? Based on a couple people getting the same contents in their J bundle and the bundles explicitly containing the kits in the example image, I'm wondering if this also applies to all the other ones.
>>11734987I just bought that exact one and yeah just get a make up brush.
>>11734987Yea they are actually really fun to use, but like>>11735034 the applicator is garbage. You want the brushes that are small black sticks with foam on one end. Dirt cheap, dollar stores have em
>>11734753Best RG there is IMO, enjoy
>>11735061here is what my bundles came with. Any I don't want are being sold. Anything good here? These were J and K
>>11735325Damn they're giving those Altrons and Plutones away like they're trash.
>>11735056>>11735061>>11735325What are these bundles sorry? How much are they?
>>11735332>RG G3 2.0, HG Naion, and HG Leo-R were in the example illustration, and were in fact in the boxHuh, so it is true, you can predict three of the items in each gacha box.I guess what you consider "good" really depends on what you want out of these bundles. Personal opinion, Avalanche' Exia, Hi-Nu Bazooka and Funnel Effects, Gray Zeta, Vigna-Zirah, Naion, and Sword Calamity are probably the most valuable ones that you got. HG Turn A Moonlight Butterfly wings are also probably good, there are probably people who would buy that off of you but getting your own HG Turn A isn't that hard either.As for the rest (again, personal opinion):HG Altron and the other P-Bandai HG Wing upgrades got converted into retail releases in celebration of Wing's 30th anniversary, so it's really easy to just buy off the shelf these days.RG G3 2.0 is just a straight recolor of RG 2.0, so I can't imagine many would want it unless they're explicitly fans of the novel.Sayla's Guncannon is a recolor of the retail Guncannon with a Gundam Hammer thrown in, again probably not that valuable.Heingra is just a Heindree Sturm with different weapons and a different backpack, otherwise just a retail mold with different colors. Probably not that valuable unless you have two or more and a Beguir-Beu to recreate scenes from the show.The MG Strike Sword/Launcher package is just the weapons from the 2008 retail kit (which itself uses the 2003 retail kit as a base) molded in slightly better colors and with a waterslide sheet. I'm pretty sure that retail MG kit is still getting reprints so the parts themselves are pretty easy to get for kitbashing purposes. Though if you want to build your own MG Perfect Strike, the 2013 MG Strike Remastered shouldn't be all that hard to obtain either.Clear PGU Gundam parts, it would probably be easier to find a buyer for that than to spend $250 for your own PGU Gundam, clear body kits are kind of an acquired taste so you either love it or hate it.
>>11735346They're a new thing Bandai started doing on their P-Bandai site last year. Give them money, and they'll send you a box of random assorted Gunpla (each bundle is standardized, so if you buy a J bundle and someone else in Bumfuck Bosnia also buys the J bundle, you both get the exact same contents). As far as I can tell, the example images do tell you what two or three of the items in the box will be, and based on what everyone's been saying they've gotten the MSRP value of the box contents exceeds what you paid for it, though with the caveat that since this is P-Bandai they still make a profit since they cut retailers out of the process and get all the money themselves.They seem to only do this during their twice-a-year Gundam Base stock cleanout, so whenever they start putting Clear Colors and Extra Finishes and Core Mechanical Platings and Exclusive Action Bases on the store, that's about when these gacha boxes will show up.
>>11735362>>11735349I'm keeping the Leo-R, Guncannon, and Zeta. I already have the moonlight butterfly though they were a chinese KO from like 20 years ago. I have the PGU Grandpa but I haven't even put him together yet. The clear parts would be neat to see the skeleton but eh.
>>11735349man I'd be pissed if I bought a blind box and got an add-on for a $250 kit I don't own
>>11735325doesnt seem like a bad value but my backlog is big enough from kits i actually wanted already
>>11735349B&N has HG Turn A on sale right now if anyone wants to grab a cheap one to go with the wings
>>11735362Cool. Sadly not in my region so fuck me I guess.
justt getting started but im going feral i need more
>>11735362>Australia finally gets p-bandai>still dont sell gunpla through itmonkey paw
how's astrea type f? Is the RG or MG better? I don't like 00 but I love the type F.
>>11735750But think of the clothes in sizes that won't fit the average oceanic citizen and the shittty plastic keyrings
>>11735752I have the MG, it's just a red exia with some extra parts. I assume the RG is the same
>>11735879yeah so is it a good kit?
Finally cracked opened my RG Hi-Nu and this is the first time building the funnels. I built 'em right away but holy fuck that was grueling.
Not the best setup for pictures, but just a couple kits I've been working on. 30MF is so addicting
>>11737099Neat, do they all share the same joints? Looks like you could make a co custom combining those two.
>>11735993anyone?
>>11737191Dalong and YouTube exist, anon. How many hours are you gonna wait when you can find your answer in a few minutes? You are also not obligated to watch the whole video, you can even skip to the end to find out the verdict/answer to your question you absolutely retard.
>>11737197I wanted to ask people here not some fucking gook. Hope your dad dies of a painful cancer.
>>11737198"Hurr durr I wanted to waste my time being retarded."Excellent rebuttal.
oh this is /toy/ I forgot how this board was
Anyone build a Gelgoog Jager? As much as I like the design the age of the kit (mostly the shit articulation) is putting me off. Still trying to convince myself to get it.
>>11737190Yeah, it's Bandai's 30 Minute Fantasy line. These two are already customs made with parts from other kits
>>11737306see>>11737197
Hope this is the right spot for this. How are Frame Arms Girl kits in comparison to 30 Minute Sisters?
>>11733461I mean, you could get a cheapo hobby table.
>>11737453I've only built one FAG and it's Ayatsuki. They're taller than, 30MSes but not by much, have way more accessories and are a bit longer of a build.
>>11737486Forgot my pic
which color scheme should I paint my wing gundam with?
>>11737884
>>11737884Sorry forgot pict
>>11737890middle
going up on P-Bandai at 8 PDT today.
>>11738474getting 3 of each to resell. I do like the epyon though
>>11738474i do actually like the epyon, its just garish enough to look goodthe other two are fucking ugly though
>>11738474gross
>>11738474I wanted to get them on Genki but I never got a email for them. I don't want to pay 180+ from the US store.
We've recently seen the Endless Waltz movie customs for Sandrock, Altron and Deathscythe as HGs, but the Heavyarms Custom, has there been a recent HG release, even P. Bandai?
>>11742183>Altron and DeathscytheThis is news to me, they've only actually announced Sandrock Custom as a retail HGAW kit.And yes, all of them had HG Fighting Action kits back in the 90's when the OVAs first released. Also HG 1/100 kits.
Are there any knockoff, third party, or 3d printable kits of the thunderbolt Ball? Or like an upgrade kit to turn the regular HG ball into the thunderbolt?
>>11742302yeah
Are 30 Minute Sister hands able to hold accessories that aren't part of that line? Food and drink and stuff like that.
>>11737891Second this
>>11742316Okay
>>11734226fuck your shitty AI, how dare you fool me
>>11733987Fuuuuuck I want it, but I shouldn't. I have too much gear already.Your impressions anon? Useful?
damn the RG RX-0 Unicorn was fun, any other good RGs out there of this sort of quality? I picked up a Zeta but i looked around and apparently its not as good
>>11743524But his face
>>11743524ShiningGodEpyonWing TV versionRx-78-2 2.0GaoGaiGarTallgeeseGundam MK2SazabiAll solid RGsI personally like the RG Amatsu Mina but the legs can be a bit loose, I ended up using one of those joint strengthening pens on it.
And Kaiser Greymon is done.Can't wait for that Magna so I can have Susanoo, I might even buy another Kaiser so I can display both.
>>11743679thank you anon!soon my router defence force will be mighty>>11743584yeah i messed up the sticker for the face so i had to turn his head around
>>11743693>messed up the face stickerOh man, that's rough... if it's any consolation, I think the regular one's head is more interesting though
>>11743323>Useful?Useful enough that I got myself 3 more (one for each grit) and made a sturdy base for them out of a spare drill press base. Also I found that a laptop charger (or similar) that provides 9V via USB-C makes a difference in performance compared to a 5V charger.
>>11742316Any names or sites to look at then?
>>11743712Speaking of altogether too much gear.Got myself this DSPIAE electric pinvise. I was pretty sceptical initially, but it actually managed to surprise me. It is small enough to pass for a regular pinvise, it rotates slowly enough (but with quite a bit of torque) so you can control it pretty well. My test for it was to drill a hole through the centre of a sprue and as you can see it did fine. A pinvise you can use to drill out a barrel is a good pinvise in my book.It also has a switch that locks the motor and the black bit at the end rotates, so you can use this as a regular old pinvise (you also use that mode to switch drill bits).I bought the "bare tool" option which comes with empty drill storage, I had some DSPIAE bits lying around so I put them in, but I'll probably use the Godhand bits with it anyway (they are compatible).
>>11743693>yeah i messed up the sticker for the face so i had to turn his head aroundI mean, you could always get some black and green paint.
tips for using Gundam markers? having a rough time trying to paint in little details like vents and thrusters
>>11744009Anon your pour-type marker?
>>11744030not panel lining, that's easy enough, I mean using the paint markers for stuff like the yellow V on a jegan's pelvis
>>11744051I alcohol-wipe and scratch things with my fingers, (I have a metallic-red marker and it's pretty easy to scratch off once it's dried) I'm probably not the best person to ask. I'd personally do literally what I said, but an actual human being like you might want to use whatever tape anons use for covering shit that they don't want painted.
