I like Zero
>>11843947hey that is my F91now here is a bit banged Mk II ready to go
>>11844064overall it is a pretty good model, the only downside I can point out is how they decided to do the legs and waist connector with simple ball joints in polycaps, as they are pretty loose, you can see how the legs kinda sag a bit when you pick up this thing
>>11844065
>>11844066the collapsing shield is a pretty unique feature
>>11844066the chromed pistons in the feet are a very cool detail, but you can barely see them
>>11844065Yeah, the MG AoZ Hazels reuse the frame and suffer exactly in the same way; still love 'em, though.
>>11844069I'm quite satisfied with the result, not bad for an almost out of the box build with barely any paint used (just red for the inside of the thrusters in the backpack and the silver drybrush)my next purchase is set to be Mk V but after that, I may pick up a Zeta
Excited to start working on blue 00, sad it never got a scene in shin eva
>>11844150Where do you live? Im interested
got my starflower lily kit just nowreally looking forward to this one, but I've seen some nasty happenings with the shoulder joints so I'll try to be super careful with this one
>>11844873>starflower lily kitis this the mecha flower motif kit?
>>11844878Damn, would be a helluva road trip. Utah
>>11827648>>11827652>>11827653I really like the colour
I want a anthro quebert.
In what ways is this different from generic glass files? I've been seeing posts about how you should only ever swipe in one direction, and shit like that.
>>11846278It's pretty easy to leave lasting damage on a siren by being too rough with how you handle it.
>>11846278DSPIAE Siren works by using grooves of teeth to shave off the plastic, the picture on the box shows you how the teeth are arranged on the file. You can only swipe in one direction because that's how the teeth bite into the plastic. Other glass files work using small protrusions to grind down the plastic to dust, the direction you're swiping doesn't matter because the protrusions are uniformly shaped and spaced. Do note that files like the one you have tend to clog easily, make sure to have a cup of water and toothbrush nearby.
>>11846314All right, so it's functionally no different from the 2k grit generic glass file I'm using right now. Good to know.
Meant to post this but she finally shipped. The zaku is supposed to this month as well
>>11846965My P-Bandai wishlist is down to like four things, but ultimately I'm waiting for tariffs to subside before I commit, because goddamn I remember paying only $50 for MG kits before and now they're asking for like $80 for the same kit.
>>11846966Yeah I've canceled tons this year because of the price increases. I have a HG kit stuck at hlj because they want to charge me 60 bucks to ship a $20 kit.
>>11846971I gave up on HLJ last year. Cancelled all my orders and closed the account.
>>11846976I still don't understand why they don't let you remove card details without contacting them. That's like the most basic security feature.
>>11843947Posting again because I'm a fucking retardDoes anybody know where I can get pic related nowadays ? Every re-seller wants a liver and a lung for itAre there any rumors of a reprint in the near future ?
>>11847563Regular Zero is getting a reissue, maybe they'll get to X2 Zero after it.
>>11847573Don't you mean X1 zero that just got released ? (round shoulders, no saber, lead pipe)
>>11844873Had a lot of fun building it. If Gundamit gets any color variants will buy.
>>11847677any advice for the shoulders? I've seen many people complain they broke theirs when installing them
>>11847702I have no idea WTF they did to break them because they seemed pretty normal to me.
Tiny PE is tiny. Getting the 1/72 might have been a mistake for this particular subject.Post WIPs.
>>11847787A glider?
>>11847857No, it has a motor.
>>11847563either wait for a reissue or get black zero. Simple as.Also might as well pick up the new version of X1 zero to get parts that fix THAT zero's leg joints. SOmetimes i hate this fucking line.
>>11847677Does your kit come with clear option parts? The reprint doesn't have them, so maybe they also fixed the issues with early batch.
>>11848203Yeah it did, I just ended up following the normal build.
>>11843947Bumping this.
https://x.com/hPndGcIRWX12266/status/2077729514571096534
>>11847958Are there ANY real chances for a re-issue of X2-X3 Zero and this point ?
>>11848578now someone make a cubism gunpla
Does anyone here have experience with the macross kits? I apologize for being off topic but I'm really tempted by these valkyries.
>>11848776Depends, which brand and form?I bought recently this battroid of the trainer valk of max factory and it is very easy to put together, like a Bandai HG but needs some glueHasewagas and wave plane Kits are more tedious imo
She's finally here and I am disappointed! Forgot it was just a RG and opened the box and the first thing I see is swirly silver. I see enough of that cheap look from marvel and others and I was hoping this would be different. She'll go in a pile of all the kits I'll never build
>>11849396Just paint it, retard.My problem with these kits is the lack of waterslides.
>>11849396A matte topcoat does a decent job at hiding the plastic look that Bandai kits generally suffer from.
>>11849400>My problem with these kits is the lack of waterslides.Tell me about it, I wish the gundam base grandaddy came with waterslides.
>>11843947Anyone getting him? He looks alien. Might get him. Its amazing how the change of color scheme makes him look distinct enough from the original.
>>11849404if you can paint your nails you can paint your gunpla
>>11849589And you could even just switch to the alternate look if you want to differentiate them further. Plus they have enough extra parts to look pretty different aside from the dreads, like the big hands, championship belt, etc.I'm happy with the original (though I haven't gotten it yet) but it looks good.
Speaking of alternative uses of masking fluid: you can use it to hold things too small for the smallest alligator clip.
>>11850626That's what I needed to buy. I was out yesterday thinking about what I forgot and I couldn't remember for the life of me.
>>11850626jesus christ
Is the Full Mechanics Aerial a good beginner build?
>>11852518As a beginner you should start with a HG kit, they're much cheaper and more beginner-friendly. So if you make a mistake, then there's less regret that you screwed up because you didn't just destroy a $50 kit.
>>11852522I guess so. I just feel like I would hate working with smaller pieces
>>11852518Anything is a beginner kit if you can follow directions.
>>11852530You think a more complex kit with more pieces isn't going to have small pieces you dumbass?
>>11852530It's a matter of complexity as well. While it's true that HG kits do have small pieces, they aren't a nightmare to construct because you don't have to mess with a pre-built frame or put together a bunch of microscopic color-separated pieces, or shit like that. And while that's also true to a degree with Full Mechanics and RE/100 kits, as a beginner you want to start with something simpler.And let's be real here, the vast majority of Gunpla are HG kits, so if there's a particular design that you like odds are that it's only going to exist in HG format. If you're going to be getting into building these things, a lot of them are going to be HG. Your options for 1/100 scale kits are either going to be Full Mechanics, RE/100 or MG, and those are all significantly more expensive than HG kits (on top of taking up more shelf space).
>>11852522I mean, FM Aerial is basically big HG when it comes to complexity.
>>11852928I wish it had the HG's fancy clear parts. Those bits are *neat*.
>>11852540>>11852553>>11852928Yeah from the build videos I watched, the full mechanics did not look that much more complex than the hg version, just larger. And the head especially on the hgs seem insanely tiny. Also the knee joint looks substantially worse on the hg (maybe that's something that can be modified idk). For the moment, I have ordered an hg RX-78-2 like the OP guide suggested just to get my feet wet, but the Aerial really caught my eye for some reason.
The fully custom one from the Ray Studio video is quite beautiful as well, wish something like that existed officially.
this is going to be interestingI'm going to build next the Sinanju Red Comet 3rd party kitbut I also got for it the diecast inner frame and I'm suprised by how easy to assemble it has been so far, compared to the one made for the MG Strikebarely halfway and already feels chunkier than most Metal Build figures
>>11854037It's a beautiful design, that much can't be argued. Its only real flaw is that the show's writer is a hack who relies too much on overdramatic bullshit.
>>11854063I want to grab a red comet, I heard it's ridiculously complex.Couldn't be any more complex than Osiris though.
I saw a silhouetted video from premium bandai on Youtube and confused it with the G-Self. It had a large RG behind it. Got excited for a second...
>>11854063when putting together a diecast inner frame I like to do the same with the actual frame that will be replaced. I did this with the MG Zaku Warrior from Seed and the MG Strikewith this Sinanju Red Comet it is actually necessary, as so far, there are small but crucial differences in some parts: the hook in the butt to hold the bazooka is different, as well as the calf boosters, the one of the model kit are way bigger and hold two boosters instead of onekeep in mind the diecast frame is intended for the normal MG Sinanju, either the ver Ka or the OVA version>>11854479>I heard it's ridiculously complexnot really from what I put together so far but I just saw for myself the most glaring flaw it has: the thigh balljoints that connect the legs to the waistever heard of the ver Ka and its problem with the peg of the waist snapping in half? the Red Comet kit has that same problem but in those balljoints becuase the fit is ridiculously tight. Once put together, those parts are pretty much immobile and trying to adjust the angle for the legs will result in the peg breaking very easily, since this is all just ABS plastic
>>11858166the Red Comet is also taller because, for some weird reason, the hips connectors to the waist that are sandwiched between the 2 round parts are extremely long, you can even see 2 rows of those little hollow rectangles sticking out of the legs and I don't know why, unless the red armor that covers that section is actuallly that long,
>>11858179nvm, just checked and yes, the longer hip pegs are necessary for the red comet kit, since the thigh armos is larger, so I had to swap parts between the 2 kits
>when you need eye surgery tools to apply liquid maskReading the scale on the box is important. At least I didn't get a 1/144.
4th kit done.Love the aesthestic and articulation. Really cheap too. Downside really is the qc. One of the the helmet is broken. Some gold paint are faded (lol even the gold in the runners are faded). One of the horse lgleg is broken but not loose but not as tight as the others. Will get the black version if I have the time.Anyway, I don't know if this is the appropriate thread. Seeing that its mostly bots and future stuff.Can anyone recommend more fantasy/medieval themed kits? Aside from 30ms (since Im already aware of them).
I feel like I'm doing something wrong when it comes to my Godhand nippers. Stuff's way more clean yeah but I still see some stress on the plastic. Someone posted a comparison pic a couple threads back and my cuts didn't look anywhere near as smooth. Also confused how you're supposed to do it / file it when it's a rounded surface like with a lot of the aquatic suits.Might just be retarded.
>>11863185Two-cut method, meaning you cut the gate once a good distance away from the part, then cut closer to the part to remove the nub while still leaving some material. Then you remove the remainder of the nub with sandpaper or whatever. Cutting flush to the part even with Godhands will just result in stress marks and gouges 80% of the time.Godhands are a fucking scam if you just sand/file your parts or just get good with a sharp hobby knife, purple ruitools are the most expensive snips you could ever need. At the very least, cut with the center of the blade and cut slowly with the godhands. Obviously don't cut flush against a rounded surface with any nippers, leave some material to the nub and sand/file it down carefully to preserve the curves.
>>11863199>Cutting flush to the part even with Godhands will just result in stress marks and gouges 80% of the timeI cut flush to the part most of the time and I don't see a lot of stress. Not that it matters to me since I prime and paint everything anyway.
>>11858179With arms now
Articulated the elbow a couple times, now there are stress marks and the front panel looks like it's gonna break off?
>>11863379Are you sure you installed it correctly? If you try to rotate it while it's not seated right, it's going to twist and bend the other parts.
>>11863453As far as I can tell yes. The other arm got a slight stress mark on the front panel as well but not nearly as bad. Maybe I'm bending the elbow too far, is it not meant to bend all the way in?
Due to demand from others I'm going to give a one-week extension on this current Groupbuild, new end date is now 8/7/26
>>11863366Where do you get your Maskol?
>>11862938SNAA has a mecha model line of Knight themed kits, shop around aliexpress for a good deal, they are great kits
today's haul, got a Mk V from aliexpress along a banshee from buyee so cheap it would have been a crime not getting it, just 8k yen because the box is a bit damaged
>>11863862amazon.co.jp
>>11863888>SNAAIm interested with Galahad. Whats the average experience with their kits? I previously enjoyed building Hemoxian kits. When I put together some parts by mistake they are easy to dismantle. Pic related on the other hand and currently the one im working on Locust by Nuke matrix is not as smooth. Also the nubs of the latter mentioned kits are placed in noticeable places. Hemoxian knows where to place them so stretch marks are hidden/not as obvious.
>>11864575What is that!!!
some recent builds over the summerleft to right:HG Laevatein (managed to track one down), ShenShou MGEX Unicorn (No LED Ver.), 30MF Liber Knight with some option parts
>>11864864Medieval knight w/ horse I got from Temu. Currently displayed as a centaur>>11862938 Really worth it for the price aside from the problems mentioned. I plan on getting the black version to make a momom (overlord) or at least looks like him. Love how articulated the skirt is. With effort you can hide the gaps. I wish the arms are a little longer though and new weapons were included like a spear or a lance instead of the same accessories like his no horse version.
>>11864575No BS they are great kits, RG quality for cheap, original design's. Well worth it anon, go for it
>>11865352>ShenShou MGEX Unicornhow is that one? worth it?
I just found out that there are monster hunter model kits but they are in blind boxes. Did anyone here bought and build one?
>>11865877I bought some out a couple years ago but they weren't blind boxes.
>>11865872mine cost me around 20 dollars before shipping. i would say it's worth it. you get the MS, rifle, bazooka, 6 gatling guns and 3 shields. no cage but you get the stand of the shields.the tolerances feel good, not too tight for me. my 2 nitpicks are the the manual is pretty blurry, so that might hinder the harder parts of the build. and the thigh armor doesn't really close that nicely in Unicorn mode, but that could be a problem with the official one too.
>>11865458This looks really nice, I do love knights>but alas qc issuesFuck. Is the articulation alright at least?
>>11866308For a knight yeah. The pauldrons and skirt are articulated so they dont hinder movement and can even be manipulated to hide joints like>>11864575 Balljoins in the neck, arms connecting to the shoulder, waist, wrist, legs and ankles. Dropdown hips too.
>>11866361I like the Liber Knight enough, but its shoulders are attacked to the backpack, so you can't raise its arm all the way... he needs a buddy though>those seam linesI normally just snapshit and don't care about those, but uh... oh geezHow much was it, I never used temu
>>11866365$8 w/free shipping. You can probably get it in a much lower price than that since it wasnt on sale when I got it. You can get it on ali of you want, just search medieval knight kit. They are the same company who made those crusaders and skeletom kits floating around.>seam linesYeah its pretty commom from what I read from the reviews. Most people doesnt seem to care since its cheap or they are casuals. Personally I can ignore it because its so cheap and I really want a centaur figure.
are there any precautions that need to be taken when painting over clear plastic?I'm assuming there won't be great adhesion so am I going to need to sand down the surfaces?
>>11866461>there won't be great adhesionclear lacquer paints will do fine>sand down the surfacesat which point the plastic will stop being clear, congratulations on your high intelligence
>>11866380It's like 19 USD on aliexpress here in Canada... but he also comes with accessories and a horseBut yeah you pay for what you get, a knight as cool as that can claim the seam lines as his own aesthetic, he'll plainly have gaps in his armor that you can't stab anywayAnd oh, I forgot about centaur mode, it wasn't even advertised
>>11866495I don't want it to be clear, retardI want to paint over itare you ESL?are you slow?
>>11866507Clearly your ZZ made that reply and he wants to stay clear
>>11866507what's the point paying extra for clear if you don't want it to stay clear, genius?
>>11866516checks out for being a retard>>11866519I didn't pay extra, they're blind boxes you intellectual pedophile
>>11866520good luck getting help then, american
>>11866520Y-you didn't like it? I'd definitely want a regular ZZ before a clear one, but it looks pretty in its own way>you intellectual pedophileHahahahaha what the fuckAnon you're wonderful, I hope your ZZ turns out alright
I finally bought my 2nd Gundam, the RG God Gundam! I'm a little over halfway through, my only problem has been putting the shoulders together since one of the pictures was really unclear and I fucked shit up, ended up having to just superglue the pieces together. I like the idea of a Gundam who isn't just a gun and shield gamer.My first was an RG Astray which I presume will draw the thread's ire.
>>11866524it's cool that it's clear but I wanted to make a little diorama to break up my other mini painting which either means painting the clear artifact, trading for a normal one or buying ANOTHER one for like $30 also the ZZ isn't mine, I have a clear red nightingale but it's still on the sprue
>>11866529I don't know if this will help you, but I recall that a cool way to deal with a transparent-gold Hyakushiki was chroming the inside of it, or something like that, maybe you can do something similar. I don't paint though, maybe ask /m/'s /gpg/>it's not even the ZZ>but the mono-red NightingaleOh shit, then maybe what I said might help, I hope it works out, I'm looking forward to how it turns out!>a blindbox was $30The only blindbox/blindbag I have is a tiny tiny tiny 4-piece Rafflesia I got as a gift, had no idea what it was as a kid but I'd definitely love to have more blindbagged mobile armors now. Coloured the entire thing in metallic red marker and now it looks alright.>>11866528That was my first RG, what the fuck was your first kit, that your second one's an RG? Sorry for your loss, it was a fun build and result, but I'm putting off building the Shining, it was several weeks of needing surgical precision but also somehow needing sufficient force to get things in, but also not breaking them? I remember needing some angling and force for something for the chest as well, although I can't remember the specifics. Something like "sliding it in at an angle but making sure it snaps, so that the head or chest crest can move properly"?>the first one was also an RGHoly shit, did you read the Silmarillion before reading the Hobbit
>>11866532I spent a bunch of years playing tabletop wargames so I'm not unused to handling a craft knife, and frankly the instructions are flat pack furniture tier. So far I gotta say I'm very impressed with the Burning's (tl's note: God's) range of articulation, especially in the ankles. The Astray can't be put in a cool post for shit without a stand it seems but the Burning's ankles go way further for cooler stances. I'm gonna have him open handed with his big energy halo rings behind him. Or maybe I'll have him dabbing on the Astray on the shelf.
>>11866536Tbh I've usually left him reverently alone, because the sheer price and amount of moving parts scares me a lilSorry to hear about the Astray>it came out before the UnicornAhh, I was warned of thisI hope you're able to still do fun things with the Astray, and maybe get an HG Master Gundam or a bootleg Fuunsaiki for more fuun with God Gundam
>>11866541I can't remember what it's called but there's an RG I sort of want but it's super pricey, it hovers off the ground and can shoot its arms out, and there's a pack of parts you can get somewhere to give it laser fingers too, looks fucking rad.
>>11866544That 100% sounds like the ZeongThe HG isn't too shabby either though, and the SD comes with lil legs so you can at least brag that you have a Perfect Zeong in some form. The RG looks over-detailed to me but I'm satisfied enough with the HGGotta fucking love wired weapons
>>11866549That's the one! Maybe I'll get it for Christmas.
>>11866551I hope you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is alclad chrome a meme?got a hg sazabi recently that i want to doll up and thought a dark red mirror look would be nice. i'm not having trouble with a glossy finish on the base, but the chrome always comes out cloudy and not as reflective as the base when i apply it at around 12 psi and about 4 inches away from the plastic, my airbrush needle is 0.3mm if that mattersi know youre supposed to go very light but it seems to just happen basically instantlywtf do i do?
>>11866740aside from psi and distance, trigger control is a thingpolishing alclad with a eyeglasses cloth after it dries is a thingpolished aluminum is every bit as chromey as chrome
>>11866532RGs really aren't that hard especially the newer ones which are almost retard proof
Quick question. I built this Iris. Promo images show her with a beam saber and there's also mention of it in the manual. She doesn't come with one though. I've looked through a bunch of weapon packs but can't seem to find the beam saber. Who knows what's up?
>>11867621Koto (and Bandai as well to a certain extent) has a terrible habit of taking promo pictures of their kits with pieces from other kits. You're supposed to Google Translate the moonrunes at the bottom of the promo picture and realize that the sword isn't included.The sword comes from Koto's Zero kit from 2020.
>>11867625Thanks, I had a feeling it was some previous kit. Did try to check them out but couldn't find a definite answer. Guess I'll swap her hand for something else then.
Progress report on my RG Burning Gundam. Scuffed a piece on one of the shoulders but superglue came in for the rescue, besides that it's smooth sailing. That eye decal was an absolute cunt to get even remotely aligned.
>>11867053I know, it's just very intricate>>11867947The eyes were an absolute nightmare as well, same with getting the chest sticker positioned rightAll that's left is the core lander, then?
>>11868478Yeah the core lander and a bazillion decals.
>>11868617>decalsI never bothered with any of those, I did panel line marker his mouth, vulcans, chest cannons, and chest vents though>don't you want your model kit to look like an actual robot and not a toy1) >/toy/2) Considering he's a super robot, yeah no I really don't mind that he looks a bit unrealisticOn the other hand, it was very tempting to add the kanji decals for his wings, that looked pretty cool
>>11868620I paid for the decals I'm gonna use the damn decals.
>>11868624That's absolutely fair enough and I hope it works out. I'm also curious as to how it'll look like. I should actually give decals a chance and apply all of them on someone and see for myself whether it looks good to me, so I'm absolutely looking forward to how you'res looks like
>>11868628Here's my RG Astray fully decal'd if that helps.
>>11868632It doesn't, the camera's not focused very well and I don't know what sort of pose he's making and I am very very sad
>>11868636The intention of the pose is he's jumping to the side while firing, I just wanted to show the decals better. Also the Astray's ankles are really bad for poses, the range of rotation is super low so he can't balance for shit.
>>11868642Maybe the poor guy would benefit from a lil stand, and have you warm up to himA stand is an absolute game-changer and gives your robot a tremendous degree of presence, as well as flexibility
>>11868647Here's a better angle of the pose since I know it's killing you.
>>11868679Thank youI guess the decals look okay, I don't know the history behind the mobile suit to know what's what though. I do have the Blue Frame Second L to build though.I just was never a fan of the many red decals that I assume are various forms of safety stripes. I vaguely understand that we have some of that irl but it feels a bit dinky to see the clean cartoon robots and then have my model kit have "CAUTION: BEAM SABER OUTPUT, TEMPERATURES WILL EXCEED 6,000,000 C" or "THIS SIDE UP". It feels like the same vein as printing "caution: do not eat" stickers on individual bulletsCorporate markers or unit numbers I might fuck with though, I think I gave the Ez-8 its two 08 stickers
>>11868617>and a bazillion decals.Please do them with waterslides they look so much better than the normal plastic ones.
>>11868679Yeah, poses like that look a lot better with a stand.I have my RG Wing Zero in a similar pose and you gotta use that torso articulation more, even a slight turn makes it a bit more dynamic.
>>11868717Also excuse my dusty figures, I've been a bit too busy to clean them.
>>11868717>poses like that look a lot better with a standYou see that sword on the side of the model? ;)
>>11868720Jokes aside you can buy cheap ones on Aliexpress for nothing.
>>11868721You think this is a motherfucking joke?
>>11868717ngl this gundam lookin kinda...zesty...
Unlimited power!Decals at a later date.
POV: You're fucked
>>11869418Glad to see it's done!But also its right arm has the finger things on his wrist backwards
>>11869424I swear I triple checked that as I was putting them on and it said to do them that way. I'll spin them round.
>>11869425Kiotsukete
does 30mf belong in here?
I didn't even bother thinning my paints because I know I'm never going to open up Barbatos and I'll probably lose the other one.I don't even have any kind of flesh color paints.
>>11869648Well, bugger me- I thought I was in another general.Apologies, >>11869598 !
Got me some German tanks (and ruined brick walls and sandbags and barrels and stuff) so I'm thinking of doing a diorama. I wonder how I should go about the weathering.
>>11867621>>11867625All of those promotion images but Koto couldn't be bothered to re-issue X2-X3 Zero
>>11869649so it doesn't? Where does it belong? the girlpla thread doesn't like it either.
>>11870127I mean, you can post 30mm here but people usually go to the moddable toys or customs thread.

Tired of Evil-Lyn fucking up for the millionth time, Skeletor drinks a magic potion to show her how the Evil Sorceress thing is done!
To her close Sisters, Ingrid have soft and somewhat gentle side. But outside, the rest see mainly her "war" face - serious, emotionless and focused on the goal. Her combat equipment is adjusted for brutal, close combat engagement, allowing her to rapidly close the distance and deliver the killing blow. Multiple thrusters - massive main ones on the back, supported by additional on side and front of her legs - coupled with precise thrust control gives her unparalleled flight and movement capabilities. While her frame include massive ion canons mounted on her back and side, close range plasma shotgun, she often ditch those, leaving only dangling connection cable. Instead, she prefer melee weapons, including her signature, massive halberd. Like frightening crimson lighting, Ingrid is ready to strike whoever might threaten her friends, hard and true.
Agnes was once a beggar living in the dystopian city until one day she fell into a hole on the back alley, when she opened her eyes, she saw the armor floats above her and forcefully attached onto her. Now she have to defend the city that she hates, from the attack of the machine devil.
Shown in her powered up form, Strelizia shows a striking scarlett red paint job!
Lich Corpsnel Greer didn't have much luck with 87 so she's upgraded herself this time. She finds that organic matter conducts ether much better than metal, even blood iron. Most Corpsnels use organs intact, but Greer likes to also use the broken bits others leave behind. By integrating them into her limbs and weapons, she can multicast curses with her helping hands. Murder mechs are useful too as their cobalt cores make nice antibacterial plates that help preserve the organic bits. She's meticulous about her ether storage as they were hard to find and will be harder to replace. Their distracting size has helped in end many situations in her favor. Her hexed shotgun handles the rest of them.
"You want someone dead? For cheap? And don't mind some senseless property damage? Then we're your girls! I'm Bitsy and the big girl is Pferd, we're the Spare Pair, the cheapest merc duo this side of Neo Wrexham!"Two machines, designed to infiltrate, take care of their target, and self-detonate to cover their tracks, were quickly rushed out without their internal bombs. After levelling the St. Fairbourne Hospital for Disabled Orphans to the ground, the two machines awaited their end, and after days of waiting for their demise, realized they were free.Now, years later, the two now make a killing, killing. Enough money to cover their ammo, repairs, new parts, television adverts, and whatever the two women desire."Our 3 for 2 Thursday offer is back on for the Summer Holidays, and we now offer the new Slow and Painful package, in addition to Instantaneous Smithereens! So, call now and get that ****** dead!"
A gift from Yuna Roma Seiran to the princess of ORB, the Stryko Rouge is a reimagining of the princess's mobile suit from the conflict two years prior.
A Nymph of the Alquand Church, Helvetia uses a flight type frame with a special lightened direct energy sniper cannon - VARS 3Q94, and a quad tubed missile system - MORAD 082, mounted on her frames backpack mounts. These weapons are perfect for hunting heretical nymphs whom have shown disloyalty to the Prime Church and Saint Eden, and for hunting Gardina special forces nymphs, or any whom might prove a threat to the Prime Church.As a primary arm Helvetia favours her M24 'Klukai' assault rifle with a backup underbarrel launcher, its flexibility blending well with her rapid hit and run tactics.01001000 01100001 01110100 01110100 01101001 00100000 01101101 01110101 01110011 01110100 00100000 01100100 01101001 01100101
After miserable attempts to further map the lower levels of the 'structure'. The SanJu Heavy Industry commissions a new exploration unit. Using the RYDIRA sister series, known for it's respectable adventuring prowess as the base. The new unit named RYD-068, is built with enhanced scouting, endurance, and offensive abilities.After studying the data from the previous failed expedition. SanJu has come to the conclusion that a support unit is needed to aid the new exploration model. The CBM-948 a collapsible bike mech unit featuring a completely new transforming frame. Capable of switching in three modes, bike, mech, and exoframe to support it's sister unit. It was later given the green light to house an advanced AI to further improve it's support capabilities. Though the engineers really just added it in to give the RYD-068 a proper companion, a sort of brother unit to help her in here lonely and perilous journey.
Developed in secret within Anaheim Electronics using captured Axis AMX-103 Hamma-Hammas and data from the prototype YAMS-132 Rozen Zulu, the Wicked Witch was designed to be a dedicated Newtype Defense for normal Earth Federation MS Forces. The enlarged head unit contained a powerful Psycho-Jammer using emitter vanes within the standardized thrusters on the hips and shoulder of the suit. The Psycho-Jammer blocked Psychommu waves of enemy Newtype suits in a sphere around the Wicked Witch. It's only offensive weapon was a large single barreled beam cannon in the palm of a cabled Incom unit forming its left arm as the suits generator couldn't power much more once the Psycho Jammer was in use. The optional "broom" was an additional Psycho Jammer with its own generator giving extra range but a narrower field of effect, useful for enemy newtypes at a distance.The addition of the Wicked Witch to a Federation MS squad dramatically improved the odds of surviving enemy Newtype Super-weapons.
Once a decorated and renowned soldier of an experimental force, gone AWOL after a disaster invoving her arm malfunctioning. Kaplayt is a rogue, roaming the wastes alone.At least... that's what she tells everyone. Kaplayt's true origin is known only to her, and it's debatable if she even knows. Rumor has it she suffers from grand delusions, or some form of degenerative psychosis. Some attribute it to her crude biotech arm; that it drains so much blood from her brain that she can't think straight. Others think Kaplayt always had a screw loose, and her obtaining such a weapon only added another chapter to her bizzare mentality.Whatever the case, it's rare you'll ever see Kaplayt actually utilize her monstrous mechanical limb. She's usually timid and standoffish, always speaking of hiding or being hunted. If you're unlucky, she'll accuse you of seeking her out, and go on the defensive. It's... unclear how her mechanized appendage actually works. How she's able to lug it around with such ease or produce such explosive force to attack with. It even displays a limited ability to transform for more specialized use, though Kaplayt herself doesn't seem fond of this mechanic...
A wandering soldier from a different dimension who has fought and earned glory alongside countless proud souls. Her unique mastery of dimensional travel and its applications in combat have earned her a longstanding reputation as a great heroine. What began as a quest to return home turned into a legacy: even now, the many lives she has touched reminisce fondly of their battles alongside her. No matter how powerful the foe, none can survive her mighty blade. No matter how great the distance, she will return.
Minori is a mechanic who specializes in performing repairs for the Armored Fighting Suits of mercenaries who fight against the occupation of Earth by the Strahl Democratic Republic. She wears an SDR mechanic's leather jacket, which she takes great pride in having stolen it herself.
And that's all of the entries. Thank you for participating in the 30th Groupbuild! Place your votes here!https://forms.gle/pZiADc661Mp5KNU99Next month marks the 10 year anniversary of the first-ever Groupbuild that I've hosted over on /m/. In place of the usual security question, I've instead added a form where people can share their thoughts on the Groupbuilds, be it good or bad. I've been hosting these for 10 years now, but I'm always open to critiques and suggestions on how to run these things. Cheers to everyone who's submitted something over the last 10 years, and hopefully we get to another 10 down the road!Now for the next theme. We're back to the old way of suggesting themes, the ones that didn't pass the final round of voting are back again for a second chance at it.>Armored Up Groupbuild (Build either an armored up mech (ie: Full Armor Gundam) or a suit of Power Armor (Kamen Rider, Space Marine, etc)>Criminal Groupbuild (Build a mech designed to be used by a criminal or an evil organization)>Giant Weapons Groupbuild (Build a robot that uses oversized weaponry (buster sword, hyper mega bazooka, enormous drill, tower shield, etc)>Silly Groupbuild (Build a goofy ahh mech that doesn't take things too seriously)>Stolen (Build a mecha made by one faction, but change its aesthetics and style to its rival faction [ex. Zeon-themed Guntank, Federation-themed Gelgoog, Titans-themed Zeta])Any other previous themes can be suggested as well, be it old ideas that have floated around for years (Lookin at you Elemental) or something brand new! I'll take theme suggestions for the next 3 days (Today, Sunday, and Monday), so get to suggesting things!
>>11871921I know exactly what a piece of shit this kit is, so this is top-tier effort.
>>11872022like how bad is it? worse than old koto?
>>11872086That's right. Fitment issues out the arse, extra flimsy around the head, faceplate problems, weird sequencing in the instructions... Really good colour separation, though, considering the age of the design.
Do you guys actually watch the anime or just like building cool mechs? side question, what are the best gundam series?
>>11843947Is there any hope for this getting reissued? They just put up the green lighting version on pbandai and figurerises output while sparse is still putting out kits. I want my pink ball and I want for less 150 bucks
>>11872325>side question, what are the best gundam series?It's all mostly very good, with a few exceptions; Not bad for a nearly 50 y/o franchise. The compilation movies of the original series are generally reckoned to be a good place to start, but watching the full series is honestly even better imo.
