Let me see! Thy WIPs!
>>21576713best thing that came out of these threads since 2011
>>21576718>This vote lasts until the end of Saturday.hurry up fatties
>>21576713>buying chink 3rd parts bitsworst build since 2011
Would dark blue or black work better for panel lining the lighter blue plastic of the Aerial?
>>21576741Gunplas cast their own shadows as 3D objects. Don't waste your time panel lining those robots.
>>21576741>panel lining bare plasticIt's going to explode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>21576721Made some progress on this.Anyone else pick one up yet?
>>21576768nice, CLEAN paintjob
>>21576721Built my Arianrhod Fleet Graze tonight. Surprisingly easy and fast build. Took less than an hour total.
>>21576718awful security question, all of gundam build was baby shit
>>21576783congratulations for following the instruction manual
At the rate things are going with recent MGs, I'm questioning if Bandai is going to try to do some shit like MGRG or something.Since shit like the recent Dom has less detail than most RGs, and it feels like MGs barely are a focus anymore.
>>21576790Good
>>21576790mgs have pretty much never had a lot of detail because in general they go for line art accuracy over the how much greebling can we put onto a 1/144 kit style that rgs have
>>21576790mg is dead
>>21576798everything grade that isn't fotm with an actively airing TV series is dead>2022>1 mainline HGXX release >1 RG release>2 updated 1999 MGs that reuse parts from a 2019 kit and share 95% of the parts between the two kits >1 MGEX that looks like curry barf>0 PGs>0 EGsgunpla is over
>>21576813We've had entire years with ZERO (0) new releases before, kid.
>>21576796yes and nothat applies to UC MG kits a lot more while the latest seed kits are a lot more detail rich following in RG's logic of "this is a 16+ metre tall thing so it should have more detail and little mechanisms as it moves"then suits from 00 and ibo were designed with dense detail that could be simplified/reducted easily in mind for selling toys, hero shots and animating
>>21576815before MG and HGUC were a thing, yes. Otherwise that statement is patently false.

*kills the heart and soul of MG*no problem mgaggots
>>21576825cool ugly zeta
>>21576825BasedInner frame detail was a mistakePut that level of detail on the armor instead, bandai
>>21576783Looks like a Happy Meal toy. What's with those colors?
Zowort Heavy got some sick boxart.Also it's still weird how it's the same price as the regular Zowort.
>>21576876I can't figure it out like the regular zowort has a different forehead with a horn and thrusters instead of weaponsbut then the heavy has shoulderpads alongside a larger gun so ??
>>21576867Idc I'm gonna paint it in vaporwave colors anyway
>>21576721I'm not very good at masking
>>21576718Saturday ends in 5 minutes.
>>21576825what is this
>>21576901It's still Saturday for another 3-5 hours in the good half of the US
>>21576906my cousin terry
>>21576911Don't you mean Vinny
>>21576906master grade alex v2.0
MoggedWhy the fuck did UC mobile suits get so big
>>21576921Double check real life to understand why.
>>21576901It's been sunday for 13 hours baka gaijin
>>21576927Not for the part of the world that matters
>>21576921It's a pendulum.
>>21576921>>21576943and THEN f91/crossbone happened, and we all know how that went
>>21576925kindaZakus are the mig25 to the RX's F15. Big and intimidating scaring the Feds into a mountain sized leap ahead in technology then they got bigger with crazy experimental ones hitting the 20m mark with Zeta/Waveriderthey then go into the bullshitium spruce goose area with ZZ, NU and Xi/Peen-pole
>>21576921More armor!More armor!More armor!Oh fuck beams don't care about armor!Beam shield! And small and fast!
>>21576956>kindaWe're not yet at the micro-isation timeline in real life like Gundam turned into. Zaku 1/2 and Gundam I parallel to the MK V tank. I would say that the Unicorn and maybe the Hathaway's flash era mobile suits are equivalent to today's Abrams, Leopard 2, T-14/F-35 Su 57 etc. I think we will soon see miniaturization of real life combat vehicles like we do in Gundam.
>>21576956>>21576982Data linked UAVs are basically just irl funnels
>>21576994>can be casually brought down with a release of jet fuelNot quite.
>>21576999 jet fuel did nothing, they had to physically ram it lol
>>21576999Not quite what I'm talking about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvf9v4EHovY&t=94sAlso, iirc, the SU-27 actually had to hit the propeller physically to take the reaper down.
>>21577005>>21577009My point being that from the examples in Gundam we have seen, funnels are a bit too nimble to be taken down like that drone was downed. Or the countless other ones have been.
huh???
>>21577012Sounds more like you're moving the goal post.
>>21577012I think you're missing the point.
*cooms*
>>21577021>>21577023>claim that uavs are funnels>Dispute this by pointing out a uav taken down casually>NOO REE GOAL POSTS MOVEDWhy are you like this?
>>21577032If that's your angle, you might as well argue that they aren't the same because UAVs don't have to be operated by psychics.
>>21576982the 78's titties takes pure inspiration from the post mig25 jet intakes and it's strength compared to the Zak is very analogous to the leap in tech the claps made with their jetsZaks are definitely inspired by ww2/soviet vehicles visual design-wiseThe purposes and size of something like the ZZ is in the goofy area. Mecha isn't realistic, but Zeta has a practical function that doesn't suspend your disbelief too far of being able to fight in space, the point of no return when entering an atmosphere and in air combat when in atmosphereZZ is meant to do all this AND be submersible while also lacking the fat chunky binder and shield that Zeta uses for re-entry (and carry other suits for both logistical and planet-fall purposes). When Neo-Zeek finally get around to stealing the Zeta they lean heavily on it's air/space superiority leaving out the big niche regular old Z has cornered the market on Nu is more excusable being a more space oriented suit and the Hathaway suits fly on magic
>>21577046the angle being that funnels aren't dog shit bitches taken out by being casually bumped like uavs.
>>21577052concession accepted
>>21577051>Hathaway suits fly on magicNot really. You could theoretically power an aircraft just with hydrogen particles (which are basically everywhere and unlimited) the only problem is they don't really explain how they do it or how they deal with the heat which really doesn't matter anyway since it doesn't affect the plot and only the biggest fucking dorks would care about that shit.
>>21577031which they didn't give her a horse face compared to the artchest could be a bit less flat and the legs could've had a bit more depth in it's details like the artalso I still don't get why Katoki is going with these chunky vortex generators still. They might have to be that thick to survive the electroplating process or some bullshit, which we could just go back to the way they were molded on the chest piece like the Nu if we HAVE to have themotherwise very excited
>>21577051>Zaks are definitely inspired by ww2/soviet vehicles visual design-wiseI don't disagree there. Early on they tried to definitely paint Zeon as Germany during WW2. However, I'm going based upon the real life size increase of combat vehicles in conjunction with Gundam. Pic related. Look at the size of that P51(?) compared to more modern jets.
>>21577077wish fug
>>21577051ZZ can't re-enter the atmosphere on its own, it has no waverider functionality anon. Try watching ZZ sometime.Hathaway suits fly on the same magic warships did in the first place. Well, that and, like many things in Gundam, a technology proposes IRL: electromagnetic fields to create a fake aerodynamic profile.
>>21576867Gundam protagonist powers made into a weapon, that's why all of tekkadan got fucking slaughtered at the end of IBO, those dainsleif launchers slayed the villains
>>21577092oops pardonmust be remembering gfortress moments wrong because they do it like 2 or 3 times in the series
>>21576921The serious canon answer? Bigger and more powerful reactors which allowed for bigger and more powerful weapons along with more powerful thrusters to carry the thicker armor. In the case of the Xi and penolope specifically they have minovsky craft engines on them like pegasus class ships have which allow them to easily fly in the atmosphere. They're huge as a result of the minovsky craft being big and needing a big reactor to power it all. Then shortly afterwards they found some way to shrink the size of reactors while retaining output and the era of smaller and lighter ms began.
>>21577102It's purely for space and atmospheric cruising. It has to use a ballute to descend. Fun moment where Ple in the Qubeley has to shoot off its shoulder binders because they're fucking up reentry while riding Judau down.
>>21577094God that ending was fucking retarded. Gonna make a diorama of Julietta's Reginlaze and Iok's Graze getting wrecked to bits by the Barbatos and Gusion Rebake. I might actually paint one of the Dainsleif Grazes in gaudy clown colors with Tekkadan decals slapped all over it to stick it to all the retarded Gayhorn fans.
>>21576638>Time to buy 30 or 40 cheap HG's to ruin before I can actually paint something well I guessNot buying 30-40 Painting Models from The Gundam Base instead.
>>21576638 bro, just scribe and paint spoons
>>21577146Is this the most shameless thing bandai has done so far?
>>21576718I can't wait to not join the group build when the theme I want doesn't win
>Recently reignited my interest in creating Gunpla and wanted to start with one of my favorite suits from Destiny, the Windam>Found out about its HG release>It's two years oldFuck me. I might have to go pay some scummy scalper for this kit, even more so if I want to get the optional NOOK parts.
>>21577205It's 17.99 on gundam planet you smooth brain.
>>21577205It's <$14 at NewType anon...
>>21577205Pfft. Not to mention that the backpack looks retarded too.
>>21577213it costs two months of salary in my shithole country
>>21577229What's your PayPal? I'll send you $20 USD for some feet pics
>>21576721Are the artifacts resin?
>>21577240No, plastic
>>21577243ok, neat. Looked into a couple I might want to snag, but wanted to know if I needed to build them in the garage or not
>>21577146>>21577160wouldn't you still have to prime it anyways because its still bare plastic even if just monochrome
>>21577225The magic of photoshop.
>>21577146wish they'd do these for the phenex kits or really anything that costs extra for being prepainted
What are the chances of HLJ ever restocking their "backorder" list? It's ridiculous how they have almost 1000 under that category.
>>21577286HLJ backorders depend upon bandai reprinting the kits.
>>21577225I honestly have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking at.
>>21577225just high grade things
>>21577213Out of stock there.>>21577219Their shipping prices are crazy high for non USlets. I suppose I can just ask a friend there who I can reimburse.
saw one of these for ten bucks at a store, and also experienced my first half built kit in a box. Should I return this shit?
>>21577301oh you're a uero. bbts has it for 1979 and galactic toys has it for 1995. usagundamstore has it for 17.99. not sure if you can get it from any of them.
>>21577305What did you expect for 10 bucks.
>>21577296I DON'T UNDERSTANDWHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE WRONG
>>21577308No I'm in Flipland. Stock comes and goes around here fast.
>>21577032the aircraft sustained damage, and the impact was likely unintentional.
>>21577317speaking of flips, I'm playing a VN (kind of) in which one of the best girls is a Flip
>>21577309well honestly even half built I wouldnt complain. if it didnt look like it was chewed off the runners
>>21577328bite the bullet and convert it into something else, salvage whats actually good and use what bits you dont use for other conversions
>>21577286they do get restocked, it's just that there are possibly thousands of people abusing their backorder system by leaving a ton of orders to reserve a kit years in advance. Now that bandai refuses to bring back the monthly restock list, it's impossible to tell what gets restocked so nobody fucking knows until maybe new reprints show up in your local stores
>>21577160I think what they're doing to LINKL PLANET is even more shameless.https://bandai-hobby.net/site/plamogirlsproject/news_27.html>>21577265Wouldn't that depend on what shade of color you want the end result to be?You're probably better off asking someone who actually owns one.I only posted it because I think it's ridiculous that a "painting model" is less available, and presumably more expensive.>>21577284>wish they'd do these for the phenex kitsLike pic related? Good luck finding one, though.
>>21577305>No GradeHas there ever been one that didn't look like cheap chink crap?
>>21577365Some of the 1/100 SEED Destiny no grades looked okay.
>>21577317No luck on Shopee?
>>21577365ye, 00's simple shapes translated perfectly into their 1/100 ng kitsthe Ippei designs for IBO demands lots of panel-lines so we got some highly surface detailed 1/100 IBO kitsalso those sentinel ones aren't that horrible 1/144 kits given them coming out between zz cca's line before the tasty f90-91 multicolour molds came along
>>21577375I saw one already built lmao and they're either overpriced and being sold at China over there. Let me see if Toytown has it on their site.
>>21576768Where'd you get it?
MG double bullet reprint soon, I can feel it
>>21577360i wouldn't mind a 'painting model' made for people who already had intentions to recolor a kit for less money than if they just got it with the parts pre colored
>>21577376these look shitty and chinese>shallow panel lines that need to be rescribed >all vents will need to be carved open>soft surface details due to the v fin being molded into the head >completely random detail thrown on by someone entirely unrelated to ippei, that detracts from the original lineart instead of complimenting it super mega dookie, only a tastelet would think these look ok
>>21577360does that even have the connectors to make the phenex or the v fin? i specifically wanted the pg anyway, i don't care about hgs much. also they sell those every year during that expo thing with all the other gundam base kits
Here's what to expect for the next P-Bandai drop
>>21577425>shitty>chinesepick one
Hopes?
>>21577431where are all the obscure interesting suits that never got a real model like hildolfr
>>21577439Hildolfr did get a model kit retard
Does anyone know what the name of this specific chisel/tool is?I've watched japanese modeling videos and they use this Chisel with blades alongside a dull centerpiece to easily carve seams into panel lines/give the illusion of a panel line.
>>21577425>3k moon-dabloon 1/100 kit needs a bit of workstop the presses!>shallow panel lines that need to be rescribedvery few kits of any brand work perfectly without rescribing>all vents will need to be carved openeven modern MG kits do this. Also it's depiction in anime makes it look like recesses painted blacksoft surface details due to the v fin being molded into the head it isn't and that's no duller than a lot of MG kitsit's lance has a pointier tip than a lot of MG kit's edges>completely random detail thrown on by someone entirely unrelated to ippei, that detracts from the original lineart instead of complimenting it no? it's very faithful to Ippei's vision of the suit unsullied by the animators need to simplify
>>21577440and i said 'real model kit' midwit learn to read
>>21576862wait is this an actual known problem? my alex 2.0 got the exact same defect and I thought it was the shipper's fault and glued it
Any new IBO kits or is my wallet safe for the foreseeable future??
>>21577431I'm more interested in the Umas than anything else from that pic.
>>21577404Gundam Central for the R4 parts, the DM Exia is older.
>Wyburst getting a new model>but it's by ModeroidWhat a shame.
>>21577449It did get a 'real' model kit you drooling fucking retard eat shit and kill yourself
>>21577486Yeah its too bad it's not being made by your mommy bandai for toddlers like you
>>21577486and what is "wrong" with moderoid exactly?
>>21577494Too expensive and they don't ship to my third world country

>>21577517Just airbrush naked.
>>21577443 #Sujiborido BMC Danmo.Alternatively, you can just sandwich a dymo tape in the seam and run your scriber along it.
>>21577438RG Mazinger Z, Great, or Mazinkaiser.RG Gundam X or Turn A.HG Dygenguar and Aussenseiter.
Why do entry grades exist when everyone would rather just have an HG and SD's are better babby Gunpla anways?
>>21577567they're just nothighgrades for the newbies that get scared at the prospect of fucking up a high grade
>>21577567aside from the lack of funnels the eg nu is way better than the hg
>>21577438RG King J-Der, Choryujin, Mic Sounders the 13thP-bandai Gekiryujin
>>21577559What's the best alternative to BMC anyway, that shit is unobtainium
>>21577567The hint is in the name. They're cheap, accessible ways for people to dip their toes in with zero commitment. You can even build them without tools entirely and still get okay results.The RX-78 and Nu kits both look pretty good too, not out of place on the shelf with HGs. The EG Strike comes off a little too simple and plain to me, though.
>>21577438King gainer kit
>>21577567EG achtually means it's going to actually have good parts seperation unlike a hg
>>21577438I'd be happy with any of these getting an announcement:RG Qubeley, The O, Kampfer or BallMG Gerbera Tetra, Gabthley or Geara ZuluHG Batara and or Zondo GeiPGU AcguyRE 1/100 NeroEG Dom MGSD Acguy
what are these super basic looking display bases I see nips photograph with all the time? I want to use some of these instead of the super busy official bandai action bases.
>>21577620looks like a kotobukiya hex base
>>21577562Bruh the >>21577562Infinitism kits might as well be RGs
>>21577443>>21577559You could also try gluing some pla plate onto a flat blade
>>21577438RG VictoryHG Desultor or Lfrith Pre-Production typeHGUC Xeku Zwei HG SRW Huckebein or Wildescwein Kyoukai Senki sequel stuff
>>21577552That kit just has so many fucking stickers and some awkwardly placed ones. I had an easier time putting decals on RG Crossbone. Was worth it though it's a great looking SD.

to the anon who asked how to evade the EU's plastic spoon ban
>>21577624thanks anon that's just what I needed
>>21577648>plastic spoon banwhat the fuckhow fucking cucked can a region be
>>21577653Just you wait until you hear of the plastic straw ban
>>21577651they're pretty good bases
>>21577648>same price for 1 pack of 16 (on a runner) as for a 150 pack of spoons
>>21577653the planet fucking dying is more important than your silly little hobby
>>21577671consumers not getting plastic spoons ain't going to change shit, the issue is unregulated 3rd world factories pumping out those spoons which probably wont be too effected by this ban
>>21577679how exactly would they not be affected by a huge part of their market disappearing?
>>21577679supply and demand, that factory won't be pumping out as many spoons as they would be otherwise if the world's third biggest economic area isn't buying any
>>21577684>>21577686spoons don't go off or anythingno reason for them to stop producing a storing spoons
>>21577686...Which will mean the machines will be retooled to pump out some other cheap plastic shit instead.
>>21577689warehouse space costs money bro
>>21577690Why not just convert those spoons into more cheapo entry grades?
Is there a hobby similar to gunpla that combines my love of anime with something cool, but doesn't take up physical space? Doing kits and customising them is great but I run out of space.

>>21577879Jesus fucking Christ. Please explain in excruciating detail how THE PLANET is fucked by plastic.Say it out loud so everyone in the thread can laugh at you for being so fucking dumb.
>>21577885Purity and escapism
>>21577894I read that as putty and escapism
>>21577885Its a hot new fad they'll get over it in a couple of business cycles
>>21577892you can spend literally 5 minutes and find hundreds upon hundreds upon fucking hundreds of professional, peer-reviewed research papers investigating and defining the many, many ways plastic harms the environment from taking centuries/millenia to decompose to the microplastics in your blood potentially permanently damaging the entire human genome.I'm not your teacher nor your mom, if you can't do the absolute bare minimum to learn and understand the world around you it's not my problem.

So I finally switched from acrylic base coat to lacquer base coat, and while that anon claiming there would be less clogs was full of shit, jesus christ does it adhere well. Even using acrylic paints and no top coat I can't scratch the paint off with my fingernails
>>21577902don't bother, you can't logic someone out of a position they didn't use logic to reach
>>21577903That's the joke my friend
>>21577896>PuttyMight as well, since they look at Idol's to fill their battered heart from daily life.
>>21577908literally a skill issue if you're getting clogs with lacquer, did you try adding a little more thinner or lowering the psi
>>21577908>and while that anon claiming there would be less clogs was full of shityou gotta change something up because this really should not be happening.
>>21577908You're not thinning it enough or cleaning it between adding more then. I can prime using mr finishing surfacer 1500 for hours without anything clogging up. Just backflush and shoot some lacquer thinner between refills and thin your primer.
>>21577902So this is the average /gpg/ poster. Think about what you posted.Think about it long and hard because it's clear that you lack reading comprehension skills.
>>21577902Anon, what you're describing is life on the planet and not Earth itself. The other anon is right in that the planet will be fine.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W33HRc1A6c
>>21577922earth is worth absolutely nothing without life, particularly human life, on it. By itself it's just a worthless rock in space.
>>21577481How is the DM Exia by the way? Worth picking up?
ummm actually the big lifeless rock will be fine, it's just everything that lives on it that will be fucked. I am very smart.
>>21577925Good thing evolution is a thing and the hardiest will survive. There will always be life on earth unless it is utterly annihilated. Plastics aren't gonna do that. Also you should even be into this hobby if you're against plastic.
>ummm actually the big lifeless rock will be fine, it's just everything that lives on it that will be fucked. I am very smart.
>>21577894>>21577906That's so sad.
there is already bacteria that eats plastic. in 10 million years there will be a new humanoid reptilian race that eats plastic
>>21577933Ubironically, yes.
>>215776970080 and 0083, only 6 and 12 episodes respectively. I emphasized the length cause I know you have no patience and probably only watched the recap movies, you FUCK!
>>21577914>>21577915>>21577916I guess the issue was that I still used my old acrylic cleaning method of rising my cup with a water spray bottle first before cleaning it with ipa and a brush.I assume the water caused the paint to clump instantly

>>21578004This. Humans have only been alive for 2000 years and we've already fucking destroyed the planet with plastic and now its dead and we're all doomed. God humans are so fuckingg YUCKY
>>21578010>2000 yearsLol
>>21577951Water + lacquer immediately turns into a goopy mess, you need to clean it with airbrush cleaner or lacquer thinner
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJpQGZgP7dMAerial Rebuild review.
You retards throw out dozens of plastic runners each year (unless you're hoarders) and think you're so righteous because you can say spoons are bad on an anime imageboard? Just have one less kid and you're all square with Mother Earth, no need to play these stupid games with straws and spoons.
>>21578027I hate women and mother earth is the biggest woman I know. So I had 5 kids just to spite her.
>>21577966Oh, thank you, anon. I was sleepy when I posted so that helped me. Also, I'm thinking about buying the SAB (Samawangu) chisel set, hopefully that would work.
>>21577751Cleaning slime+black light to spot dust are handy tools if you really are too lazy to dust your place before and after painting.
>>21578027>Giving a fuck about the planet.Get a job hippie.
>>21578027A handful of Autistic anons painting a dozen of plastic spoons a year is not the same as an army of staceys throwing 50 plastic spoons into the next bush at her bi-weekly BBQ
>>21578045He's shitposting dude.
>>21577438Please just give me the MG 2.0 Zaku I
>>21578058You and me both brother. Also Virgo.
How long has it been since the Gyan Krieger got reprinted? I'm trying to decide if it's worth spending $40 plus japan shipping prices to get one. Knowing my luck, it'll go up for pre orders on P-Bandai as soon as I get it and I'll be mad, but I also don't remember it being re-released anytime in the past few years.
>>21578027>Just have one less kidDon't forget to eat ze bugz and own nothing
>>21578027I melt my plastic runners and mix it with soup to have for lunch to help the environment
>>21578066
>>21578027The birth rate in every developed country is already below replacement rate
>>21577305Ohshit that was my first kit in like 2002.Really flimsy but wasn't awful if you plan to make it a statue
>>21578076And that's okay. Infinite growth is impossible, it's a bubble. Let it pop now and it'll hurt less.
>>21578076If only this happened to countries I deem inferior and subhuman.
>>21577885Maybe 30MS isn't doing as well as hoped? Bandai turned them into VTubers, for the 30MM/30MS YT channel, and have an Uma Musume collab, too.Lest we forget, Bandai has their own idol group, too. LINKL PLANET already has a "2nd Generation", 7 singles, a TV show, and a bunch of live performances incoming.>What's the deal with this Japan obsession about idols?It's like a system for maintaining the hierarchy at this point. The rich and powerful men get to pick and choose, while the lower class men get hooked and spend money on these unattainable women. The idea of becoming an idol is glamorized, so young girls will want to become idols, thereby perpetuating both cycles.
>>21578098>Maybe 30MS isn't doing as well as hopedthey're constantly sold out, even people in japan are having trouble getting hold of them. they're doing just fine
wake up GBD, the results of the next group build theme voting is today!
>>21578106his new wagecage overworked him to the point of karoshi, we're never getting the results. rip groupbuild dude
Lads, what kind of table do you use for your work area? I'm debating on making my own, buying one from IKEA, or one of those foldable 5 ft tables from Walmart/Sam's Club.
>>21578095So USA, Europe, Australia and South Africa
>>21578110kitchen worktop. i got a joiner to join 2 of them into an L shape and use 1 part for a computer desk and 1 part for a workbench. it's held up by heavy duty wall brackets rated for 30kg each
>>21578110Three piece dining room table but I would buy a butcherblock if I were you. My desk is butcherblock it's superior.
>>21578110the ALEX drawers at ikea with a table on top is very nice, all the tool and paint storage you will ever need
>>21578110I use the floor because I'm not staying where I'm at long term.
>>21578110I build on your bed with your wife while you're at work
>>21576824Gundammit is actually a pretty good site for finding 3rd party kits and such on the cheap, got the MG Thunderbolt for 60 bucks
>>21578110Two foldable 4 foot tables from Walmart in an L shape. Works good. Would be nice to have shelves above though
>>21578121Jokes on you, mate. I already divorced her.>>21578114>>21578116>>21578117Good suggestions, thanks.
Well the results are in, and after consistently being in the running for like 6 years now it's finally time to kick off the 14th Gundam Fight! More details to come later today!
>>21578152I just use a folding table. Apartment dweller here though with limited space.
>>21577751Hand painted?
>>21578159i'm going to make a nazi gundam, how about you guys?
>>21578159Well, I'm out.
>>21578163Same. Gonna make a diorama of a Geara Zulu with SS decals shooting itself while cowering in a bunker like a little bitch.
>>21577877Bro look up the MASSIVE plastic trash mass floating around in the ocean, we absolutely need to cut down on plastic use. Also-what are micro-plastics
>>21578163I will glue gundam head to a forklift to make polish gundam.
>>21578167anon, that's just the uk...
>>21578163Are you going to storm - I mean "peacefully protest" GOD'S house when you lose the election again?
>>21578098Its the opposite really, 30 Minute brand in general has been selling really good to.As for IM@S collab, it's an anniversary of that branch of IM@S and Bamco just want to sell merch.
>>21578159OH NO NO NO NO NO NO
>>21578159Imagine if someone makes a russian gundam and gives it a cope cage
>>21578167Stop talking about it, it's clear he's just a disingenuous or autistic retard saying "uhhh the planet isn't going to explode haha so it's going to be fine and I'm going to willingly ignore the context behind what's being said that everyone understands.">>21578169I'm pretty sure a Polish Gundam would whine about not being able to do whatever, then enter then have a meltdown about not winning.
>>21578176kek
>>21578110TV tray, works suprisingly well with its raised sides. Runners on the bed next to me within reach
>>21578159I just realized something, there's definitely going to be some people doing the same country, how is that going to work? There might be a lot of Neo Canada entries for example
>>21578180Don't think too highly of yourself nobody is making a leaf gundam lmaoI however am going to make a kiwi gundam
>>21578180>how is that going to work?there's not going to be a real gundam fight, it doesn't matter that most of the entries are going to be nazi and russian
>>21578180IIRC in the G Gundam prequel manga each country had regional qualifiers so all the people who wanted to be a representative had to beat each other first before going on to the global tournament
>>21578180Repeat Countries are expected and are totally fine, you could handwave any two or more that share a country as being competing entries to represent that country like how the Mirage Gundam was the second choice to represent Neo France.
Hope someone makes amerimutt gundam - kitbash amalgamation of 5 different timelines.
==14TH GUNDAM FIGHT GROUPBUILD==>Build a Gundam themed around a country of your choice! >This time around it's Gundams only - no non-Gundam MS allowed. Keep in mind though that the definition of what a "Gundam" is in the Future Century is very loose (ie: Nether Gundam, Mammoth Gundam, Mandala Gundam, etc) so you're free to go off the beaten path when it comes to Gundam design>You can use other G Gundam kits as a basis, but try to make something completely new instead of just submitting an existing suit as-is.>Your choice of country is up to you - you can choose your home country or any other country on the globe to represent in the Gundam Fight>The key element to each Gundam Fighter is a special move/finisher (ie: Shining Finger, Rose Hurricane, Gaia Crusher, etc). Try to come up with a move that makes your suit stand out!Submit your entries to gunplaplamo@gmail.com , include at least 5 finished pics and any WIP pics you took while working on your entry, as well as a brief description of your build. START - 3/19/23END - 7/31/23LET'S GET THINGS STARTED!GUNDAM FIGHT ALL SET, READY...GO!
>>21578199with so much weathering that it gives the entire kit a natural looking brown color
>>21578212I guess I'll just use this as an excuse to build/paint my RG God Gundam. I don't do the whole kitbashing/customization thing. If I can't submit that then I'll just work on something else and maybe join next time.
Oh yeah one more thing, since Imgur is being shit at the moment I've gone and made a Flickr page to host all the Groupbuild entries from the past 6-7 years. The only problem is that I have a maximum limit of 1000 photos, but considering 20 Groupbuilds in only has me using about a quarter of that I think we'll be good for another decade or so. Let me know if you guys have any issues checking it out. https://www.flickr.com/photos/197891373@N06
>me trying to come up with the most racist entry possible
>>21578212My Neo-Vatican's Child-Molseting Gundam will be the champion.
>>21578180There's going to be 2 entries, I don't think there will be a ton of overlap
>>21578236Just make every single Arab stereotype and have it don Swedish colors.
>>21578034Great tip, gonna give this a try next time>>21578162Only some of the details like the pellet mines
reaching bump limit in less than 24 hours is never a good sign
Maybe the shitpost groupbuild won after all.
>>21578244there's been a lot more shitposting since the janny got firedthanks duel
>>21578246depends how dedicated to shitposting some of you are, I know maybe one guy will go make a Nazi Germany gundam or something but definitely not another.
>>21577559Thanks, anon. It was on the tip of my tongue this whole time. Only thing I could remember was BMC, which I've bought bmc stuff before but this guy never shows up on any site.
>>21578249>a nazi germany gundam would legitimately be aesthetic as fuck>call it a shitpost angry face.
>>21578247how can we convince duel to get into gunpla so we can doxx him like snapfit-kun? maybe even track him down and shoot him when the civil war starts
>>21578236Neo India is going to get really interesting
>>21578212Going to paint a gusion in pink, and give it some pig ears+snoot and a pig tail and call it neo ukraine gundam.
This is going to turn me into a full on autist.It'd be simple to just make an American Gundam, seeing how I'm an American myself and that's what I know, but that'd be boring. At the same time, a surface level interest in my nation of choice wouldn't result in a good final product, so I'm going to need to do a lot of research about the history and culture of whatever nation I choose to use for my build.
>>21578271make something for Mongolia
>>21578270This except I make a Z Gucci pattern.
>>21578271anon, have you seen G Gundam's gundams? other than Shining and God pretty much everything is a walking stereotype. Shining and God are too, it's just more subtle. Go wild, that's the whole point of this groupbuild.
>>21578270based
>>21578271make a tacticool school shooter Zaku
No Neo-Filipino Gundam yet. I know you Mexican Asians are here.
>>21578284Neo phillipine gundam would be a tthongli strike freedom eating pagpag
>>21578271Make a Gundam based on American cryptids. Something like Mothman Gundam
I just hope that most offensive entries won't be accepted. Having regular raids by mental children with minds rotten by Discord and /pol/ is bad enough.
>>21578293or just resemble the jollibee bee
>>21578297go back to twitter faglord
>>21578296He can make a wild west Gundam, a colonial era Gundam, an Indian/Native style Gundam (think Buffalo and shit). He can make a Gundam based upon other eras of the US as well>60s rock n roll explosion>70s disco>80s funk?>90s uhh nevermindWell, if that's all within the rules.
>>21578297Pretty hard when some countries base their whole identities on hate (Noko, Iran, Russia, etc.) >>21578298Sure, a fat bumblebee already fits a joke meme country anyways.
>>21578218no dude, you don't get it, mixing random parts is creative, it's not like modelling is supposed to recreate some existing design to best of your ability
>>21578300I don't even have twitter, you half-brain retard. Making Nazi entry or russian/ukraine one when war is still going on is not "funny". It's sign of having mental age of 13 years old.
>>21578307Mixing random parts is cringe but I respect people who sculpt and scratch build. I just don't want to do it.
>>21578303Yet there are others that don't. French, Italian, England, hell even Germany can be made around bear and sausage instead of Nazis. Brazilian footbal Gundam, Egyptian Pharaoth, Mongolian Horse Archer, Polish Hussars, choices are vast. If somebody "creativity" limits themselves to shitposting, it's their problem.>>21578302Glam rock, KISS painted Gundam with sonic guitar weapon. Someone make this happen.
>>21578302You just know it's going to be Twin Towers Gundam instead.
I am going to make a diorama with Neo Sweden Gundam Lars watching his wife, Gundam Ingrid getting fucked by Gundam Abdul and then crying himself to sleep while thinking how people hurt each other by choosing wrong pronouns for men dressed in skirts.
>>21578308oh you're from reddit thengo back
>>21578176There is no context because no one ever talks about it. It's always "it's killing the planet" and that's it.If anons bothered to say that it's killing life on the planet then there'd be no fucking problem. The Earth was fine before humans and it'll be fine after.
>>21578317GBD would need to chime in if that would be allowed if it goes too much into shitpost territory or not.
Is Texas a country?
>>21578333Is mayonnaise an instrument? Yes___
>>21578326That's what it means you stupid fucking moron. That's what everyone means. Welcome to what everyone knows and understands except for you.
>>21578333it wisheshowever outside of america, most of the american stereotypes are actually texan stereotypes, similar to how a lot of german stereotypes outside of germany are actually bavarian stereotypes with no relation to the rest of the country. so you could enter a texas gundam as an american gundam and it would fit
>>21578297There are only 2 ways to win this group build; >an incredibly well planned and flawlessly executed build that manages to beautifully reflect the aesthetics of the chosen nationor >the most aggressively retarded and stereotypical racist caricature you can come up withI, for one, can't wait to see which one it ends up sweeping the vote

>>21578212>7/31In gonna tell you right now I'm gonna need a week extension
since metal builds aren't kits, do the daban bootlegs of them basically just recreate the design with their own engineering or what?
>>21578337No it fucking doesn't. Learn the meaning of the words you're spewing.
>>21578322No Reddit account either. Why won't you go back to kindergarten instead?
Please extend the groupbuild deadline I'm not gonna make it
>>21578308>>>/twitter/
>>21578359>you'relol. lmao. Not the original anon. Stop being autistic and learn to understand what people are trying to say instead of hyperfixating on word choice. >>21578341You already know it's going to be the second, but I'm sure there will probably be some decent non-memers. A couple at least. Maybe.
Why does the worst theme win every time?

>>21578316>If somebody "creativity" limits themselves to shitposting, it's their problem.Looks like you have a problem with 4chan as a whole. This place leaves and breathes edgy, provocative humor.
I can already see it now. When I die and go to Hell they're gonna make me build the Woundwort rifle over and over
>>21578401is that you, chris-chan?
>>21578405We all have a little mayor of CWCVille inside us
>>21578401Hell for me is having to pose anything with it. I fucking hate that rifle. It's so fucking stupid and unwieldy and basically the posterchild for what's wrong with AoZ designs. Great basics, shit addons.
>>21578398It used to be more "provocative" and less "edgy". Too many people can't find difference between these two.

Nemisis warbringer WIP. currently undecided on the trim color
>>21578526Who said I'm using only the regular freedom? This is just the only kit I needed to buy and need a few parts off it.
Hey, I was wondering something if anyone can help. For Armored Core plamo, has anyone tried putting NEXT weapons on Gen 3 AC kits?I've got a Supplice and it includes weapons from the other Aaliyah variants (which is a pretty nice bonus) and I recently ordered a couple Armored Cores to try and kitbash my AC3 Main. Since NEXT hands look different in photos, I was wondering if I could put the Supplice rifle in the hands of pic related.Just for curiosity at the moment since I'll have another spare rifle for it if it doesn't work.
>>21578561Yup. They're compatible. All weapons across al llines are, including ACVD's I believe. Definitely for the Gen 3 and Gen 4 lines, back weapons included, barring any geometry issues that would prevent them from doing otherwise.
>>21578561Just realized I forgot to mention that this rifle would be going onto the "Spare Parts AC" leftover from me building my AC3 main, if that was confusing.
>>21578566Thanks a bunch, anon. All I needed and much appreciated.
>>21578401dark gold is never a good replacement for yellow. metallic yellow can work, but that gold you used looks atrocious, particularly with all the other colors remaining the same. the original yellow is much more complimentary.
what actually happened to the old janitor? do they just get swapped out every couple years?
What is it with chinks and making overdesigned pointy shitty copies of mobile suits.
>>21578619Hiroshimoot has them butchered so he can consume them and gain their power. Only when properly infused with the essence of misery from having to play janny to autistic shitposters all day can their malice mature, and satiate Hiroshimoot's dark hungers and make his powers grow.
>>21578626Chinese simply loves kits overloaded with ornaments. Just like that. Even their plastic girls have tons of stuff that often interfere with posing.
looked through the G gundam wiki and forgot the noble gundam existed, anyone here going to turn the noble gundam into a male themed gundam?
I wanna test this kind of paint to panel line. Im gonna use it on a RX-78, so mostly white parts. But what kind of grey do you think I should go with? They have gray, dark gray and light gray.I have only used gundam markers before, and the gray one I got almost looked like purple when lining the panels.
i know theres 1 australian here
>>21578644I use a custom mix of grey and black from forever ago for white, I think it was either before they had alternate greys or before they were commonly sold at least. Not sure how dark grey compares but I'm guessing it's gonna be the closest. Light grey is definitely too light for use with white unless you want an extremely subtle effect.
>>21578619apparently duel spammed so much on irc because the janny kept deleting his shitty threads that they fired him
>>21576721I finished HG Aerial, I love this build. I have the DLC backpack otw too.
>>21578644Personally, I was always using normal Grey on white, brown on red/yellow and black on everything else. Once tried "dark grey" but it was pretty much the same as black, only very slightly brighter.
>>21576721>>21578672
>>21578529>You a gay priest? probably tranny groomer
>>21578677>>21578672Did you paint this or is it just panel lined?
>>21576721idk

Can you get sick from eating raw bacon? I just opened a pack up and ate 3 pieces before I realized I didn't even cook it in the microwave

Can you thin mr color paints with tamiya thinner?I'm trying to thin my paint but it just stays goopy and falls to the bottom of the bottle no matter how much thinner I put in, which I'm sure is way past 1:1 ratio now. What am I doing wrong?
>>21578969are you using acrylic thinner in lacquers?
>>21578969If you're using lacquers in general you should just use mr leveling thinnerAlso your paint might not have been shaken/stirred/mixed enough
>don't have my tools at the apartment after I moved for a job, left them at my in-laws'>have a mighty craving for the Huckebein and my birthday is coming closeAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
>>21578973That's precisely it, thanks anon. I didn't realize there was different thinners for lacquers and acrylics so I just bought any bottle of Tamiya thinner.. in hindsight, it should've been obvious but I guess it's all art of the learning process.>>21578974Thanks, I was just about to ask if there are any thinners I should look for specifically since I got the wrong thinner like a retard. Also, are bottles of paint that are 3 to 4 years old worth trying to use still or should I just throw them away before it fucks up my airbrush? Half of my mr color paints were hand me downs from a buddy who got out of the hobby, but he mentioned how old they are and was unsure if they're still usable.
>>21578983you can replenish old lacquer paints even if they're dried up. you should be able to just use thinner but mr hobby do sell a specific "paint replenisher" product exactly for this purpose. not entirely sure what the difference is
>>21578983You should be fine. Pick up some Mr. Leveling Thinner and just use more than you would normally have to.
>>21578987Usually hobby brands like to sell the same product under multiple different names but charge more to rip off the people who don't know any betterLike how Tamiya Extra Thin Cement is just Airbrush Cleaner with a small brush on the cap, sold for way higher price per volume.
>>21578981Just go get them.
>>21577431>Gamma Gundam>GunEZ>GM Sniper Custom>Pale Rider Calvary>Crossbone KaiHow close will this line up to our next drop? Because holy shit I might pre-order a lot.
>>21578987>>21579012Thanks anons, I appreciate the guidance out of snapshitting. One last question, can I salvage my bottle of paint mr color lacquer paints after pouring acrylic thinner into it? I thought I was making the genius move by attempting to thin the whole bottle at once so I can use it again without much work the next time I need that color, but then I fucked myself over by mixing it with the wrong thinner. I poured out most of the thinner (I think) since it wasn't mixing anyway, but I'm afraid of trying to thin it with the correct thinner and then fucking up my airbrush because the paint was too far gone.
>tfw gonna build a banana gundam to represent my shitty country

>>21579066>banana Gundam>not Favela Gundam
>>21579044If the paint is still in there, just let the paint and thinner separate or let it dry off. Then move on from there.

Do you have any tips for using G-Rework decals? I got some for my MG origin because they were the first available, but they done seem to separate very well after soaking
>>21579151toes
>>21579161I soak em for 10 seconds then leave them for 10 more, they come right off. They're basically immobile until they're saturated but then they're smooth as butter.
>>21579217By leave them, do you mean let them air dry while they absorb the water?
PG Haro when?
>>21577365VOTOMS 1/20 stuff
>>21579250Yeah, I just keep them held in my tweezers and outside of the water for the count of 10 and then apply, but if you're a speed demon you could set them down and get a rotation going

>>21579269Its definately working better than before, though its still taking a bit of work to slide it off. Should I let it soak more, settle more, or both?
>>21579161Try using hot water
>>21579377I don't have running hot water. Will cum work?
>>21579331Not sure, are you losing anything valuable by washing them regardless?

>>21577438MG Mercurius
>>21579417>recent PB kitsThey're not particularly recent anymore, the X-0 is the newest and it's not really new.
>>21577438I hope for multiple new HGUC kits and at least 2 RG kits.I expect 3 WFM HG kits, another preview of the FM Aerial, and MAYBE a new RG.
>>21579420>the X-0 is the newestanon, Patchwork came out 2021
>>21579428Yeah I was just about to say I forgot about Patchwork, which really is barely worth mentioning since it's only one new part, the anchor shield, and just a repackage otherwise.
>>21579287>MG Hygogg only in dreams.0080 designs deserve more kits in general
>>21579429which is pretty sickening lmfaoCan't think of what's worse that or the fact x-2 and 2 kai weren't the same kitx-2 kai almost has all the lance parts spare lmfao, they just HAD to cut the sprue short and not include the gay little cape
>>21579435It's annoying there was never an X-1 or X-2 package with the long rifle. Still waiting on the F90 L pack to get my hands on one. And yeah, X-2K not giving me a second shotlancer is such bullshit for all the spare parts these fuckers come with anyways. I have five million useless beam effect parts but god forbid I get the missing 4 or 5 parts to make a shotlancer....
>>21579431I'm honestly surprised it only got that one HG. Granted, it's a good kit for its age--but still.
>>21579449Having recently built the Hygogg and Z'Gok E I honestly think they're both extremely obnoxious kits in dire need of an update. Their limbs suck fucking dick. The Hygogg's legs are terrible particularly. Lot of other elements are okay but damn it deserves so much better.
>>21576721Curse my autism for making me paint accessories I'm not even going to use in the finished build

One of them LITERALLY eats shit and likes to watch their wives get fucked by black men, one of them is a swarm of a billion bugmen and the other has gross goblin noses and weird spine problems

>>21579883>>21579899ayyyy similar color schemehttps://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10015513dunno if this is a canon one or just some funky wave recolor also the scheme feels like it's really taking from Ippei's G-lucifer and Solidea
>>21579899
>>21579947Wow those are the worst feet I've ever seen.
>>21579883>>21579947it's like a shitty g-lucifer, which is still pretty damn good by IBO standards.it also had gespenst-esque saws on wires which is kinda goofy but at least better than 99% of ibo weapons
>>21577438Serious question. To the people who keep asking for a revive HGUC Dom, what aspects that you want Bandai to update? >B-but ball and socket jointsEasy modification to change it to a peg joints>B-but mug ugly handsBig deal, just buy alternative hand for 5 bucksI rather have an updated Dom Tropen or Rick Dom II. Bandai just need to make the mono eye movable and change the ugly hands
>>21579965are people asking for a Dom revive? As far as the og Zeon grunts go I'd prefer the gelgoog to get one first but even that isn't even in the top 10 of HGUC kits in need of a revive. Dom is fine as it is, though I wouldn't say no to a HG Origin Dom as an alternative to it.
Here's your list of hot new gunpla kits that my uncle has told me that will be announced at the next hobby show in a few days:>RG shin getter>MG narrative C pack>MG reborn gundam>MGSD Barbatos 4th form>Full mechanical forbidden gundamAnd for ibo fans asking for HGs for the new gundam frames and mg lupus, those will announced in may. Hope to see you all on Wednesday.
>>21579980unironically a better list than whatever we're probably getting
>>21579980>chink shit SD crap before MG lupus>MG for the narrativeYou can already tell this is bullshit
>>21579981We will found out soon enough.
>>21579986>You can already tell this is bullshitThat's how you now it's real
>>21579965hg dom is perfect, the one asking is probably reddit
>>21579465i do that toobut i usually give them basic bitch basecoats with no shading or anything and don't bother masking off any non-separated partsi really don't know why i bother>>21579893even your hobby lacquers use acrylic pigments, your painted builds won't be safe either unless you use oldschool nitro lacquers or lead paint or something>>21579947ew
>>21579947ehhhI think this would be more neat if it was a Valkyrja instead of a Gundam

>>21575786>>21579473>>21579820Just saw this shit, it actually doesn't look that bad... now I feel compelled to buy the Lfrith Chimp as well... fucking marketing schemes
>>21579980Was the RG Gaogaigar in 1/144? Or is it non scale? If Shin Getter is next, I'm curious if its going to be decently big
>>21580316Oh that's actually cool
>>21580316>>21580340FUck it makes sense too cause of the long arms + short legs and we already see something similar with the upcoming Demi Trainer variant
>>21579965 >To the people who keep asking for a revive HGUC DomThe "Gunpla G35 Revive Project" was a limited branding used for 5.5 kits during the Gundam 35th anniversary event. The branding was subsequently dropped for all following kits and removed from subsequent reprints of the original "Revive" kits. "Revive" isn't a denotation that was used subsequently by Bandai, and is merely terminology that was incorrectly applied by reddit to kits never released as such.
>>21580357basedalso dom doesnt need a new hg, the old one is as good as kits from 10 years later
I didn't really like any of the wfm kits and the more I look at some online the more I'm actually liking them. Fuck.
>>21580357>5.55.5?
>>21580365agreed
>>21580213I don't get why we don't have a brand new S/Ex-S kit. It was one of the first MG and HG ever made so you figure the design is popular enough to warrant it.
>>21580413I thought this thing released in 2019??
>>21579767https://www.ebay.com/itm/125618176043
>>21580435what the snapshitter pinoy meant to say was that he wanted a 2.0 and not a 1.5. So it can do all the crazy poses like in his favourite gundam sneed episode
>>21579980Actually, we're getting:>RG Victory Gundam>MG G-Self Ver.Ka>MG GP01 Zephyranthes Ver.RKa>MGSD Zeta Gundam (full transformation)>Full Mechanics Aerial Rebuild
>>21580444I wouldn't even be mad.
>>21580413The first HGUC kits almost seem totally random.RX-78 was the 21st lit in the line, and before that came multiple Zaku IIIs, multiple Qubeleys, multiple Z'Goks, both forms of the GP01, and even Gogg.
>>21580438Gundam Seed poses are kino because they remind me of super robot shows. Cope.
>>21580444You wish.

>>21580480>no exodiaFake and gay
>>21580357nerd
>>21580357whore
>>21580480validity of this list aside, what the fuck is "regenerated" gundam being mistranslated from?
>>21580480>those MGsP-Bandai
>>21580357someone didn't get bullied enough at school>>21580496unless they did one too many lines of coke and it's Regenerate Gundam, it's probably Reborns. Which is somewhat believable since we just got done with the S1 main Gundams
>>21580496>>21580500Regenerate Gundam from Astray?I feel like this is an awful lot of plastic to make a new Aegis bolt on. This alone makes the list dubious.
>>21580500I didn't get bullied because I did the bullyingking of the nerds
>>21580511yeah, that one. It's a long shot amongst long shots since it's like 35m tall and very massive to boot. So that's got to be either a mistranslation or the whole list is fake. Or, most likely, both.
>>21580480>figure rise mano sakuragii thought the idolmaster stuff was going to be 30ms? i guess they're doing what they did with tokai teio where they do one on FRS then another one with a different outfit on 30ms?assuming the list is legit of course

one day i will learn to 3d model and create 3dprintable conversion kits for all these obscure shitty designs you retards want kits of and charge you pbandai scalper rates
>>21580661I feel like there was some kind of fuckup with marketing for thunderbolt part II that resulted in much lower viewership. that and the mangaka's hand exploding. (based fellow Acguy appreciator)
>>21580659You can always be crass and do something like Police Gustav kneeling on a black Messer for the US. An dirty yellow Freedom for China or monkeyfied GM for Brazil. With the effort you WILL put on your fucking build it's hard to come off as insulting or racist.

Working on the RG Zeta. I've never painted an "early" RG before, are these preassembled joints/innerframes paintable or am I better off just leaving them unpainted?
>>21580702It looks already but I wish anons weren't getting baited into thinking this is canon and not a consequence of how the kits are designed
>>21580702i like it, its like a more sci fi seravee
>>21580702it cracks me up how people can't cope with Thorn's proportions being funky just for the sake of it. The modern /m/odeler cannot comprehend non-standard proportions without a gimmick based around them
Anyone know any sites for commissioning custom decals or something?I've been looking for decals like pic related from the HGTO Zaku, except with gold stripes rather than white.

>>21580736most of katoki's lineart looks like the virgin walk meme
>>21580690Will they even be visible afterwards?
>>21580718the only reason it looks proportionally weird is the giant round gundam head. it looks completely fine when that is out of the equation.
>>21580746I don't know, I wanna know if they are paintable or not. If they are paintable and they aren't visible any way, I won't. Was hoping somebody on /gpg/ has had any experience with paintijng early RGs.
>>21580757so, the proportions look weird when you consider all the proportions? woah
>>21580757Nah, the leg is the problem.the upper part is normal
>>21580741>>21580736Cope, they are called Ver.Kino for a reason.
>>21580757give it a graze-like head
>>21580757kinda works
>>21580757You're crazyIt has fucked proportions all over
>>21576721I didn't do shit all weekend.
>>21580777Not sure about this one. >>21580783He's right, it only seems fucked because you are immediately assuming it is a gundam because of the head. It wouldn't look out of place in an armored core setting.
FUCKING CHIMPANZEE CHICKEN FOOT SHIT
Did Tekkadan ever get their hands on a Graze (other than this one)? And do they have any dedicated colors or did they just paint shit however they felt like?

Huh my hobbytown has a few MG Turn As in stock. Might pick them all up
>>21580759poorfags from gpg would have to sell their kidneys to afford RGs, don't count on them giving you any advice
>>21580690the frames are made of polypropylene and ABS which paint doesn't like to stick to. it can be painted with normal paints, but it is recommended to use something like gaia multiprimer to get the best adhesion.
I'm moving to an apartment and I can no longer afford to spray paint outside. I've been studying spray booth exhaust fan systems for like the past 6 hours and I'm so confused...My first thought was buying this cheap ass $100 spray booth from amazon but the description says it only has an airflow of 540m3/hour.For $100 I can get an explosion proof with 2280m3/hour and just build my own spray booth Is it overkill to make my own system?
>>21581032Why do you want an explosion proof fan?
what is the point of painting a kit in the colors it came with when it looks the same as topcoat on plastic? lol.
>>21581038Mustard gas from airbrushing lacquers
>>21581044didn't we already have this bait this thread
>>21581032chink booths are good enough but a diy one will be both cheaper (if you don't overengineer it with a dumb ass fan) and better
>>21581032keep in mind an offical mr hobby spray booth has like 50 cfm and isnt explosion rated
>>21581058is this the power of 1000 times folded authentic nipponese technology
why would somebody put a topcoated bare plastic rg p01 in an acrylic display?>>21581053>baitlooks no different from topcoated plastic
>>21581071pretty sure that literally is topcoated snapshit, he showed an rg gp01 in a panel lining video a few months ago and he said "this is just on bare plastic"
>>21581044>>21581071Why do you retards act like bandaibaby snapfit kits for toddlers are the only ones that exist? They're mid level models anyway, the best models actually require glue and paint
>>21581076>bandaibaby shit>mid levellmfao
>>21580723Good question actually. I'd look around on Etsy, they have a lot of people that do all kinds of gundam related stuff, including charging a grand for a super duper custom paint job
>>21581077True they're actually closer to bottom level. I was being generous.
>>21581076>the best models actually require glueif it is not snapfit the model is mid and has engineering not worth your money
>>21581088Can't disagree with this honestly. If they don't want to put even minimal effort into making a good model kit I will not spend money on them. Requiring glue does not make a model kit good by any stretch of the imagination. Just tells me they don't have the same talent bandai and other manufacturers do.
The PG Millennium Falcon is the single greatest model kit ever made.
>>21581099>is that heckin star warserino??? wholesome big chungus chewbakarino?????
bandaibabies don't want a model kit project to work on, they want a toy they can throw together in an hour then swing around while making whoosh noises
>>21581103That's god damn right, bitch.
>>21581105dont care all i do is snap fit, detail paint with gundam markers and panel line with pic related and spray top coat and im done. i am a modeller and am no different from losers who have to waste time and money gluing poorly engineered, low effort """kits""". cope
>>21581109so that's why all the groupbuilds suck ass lmao
>>21581105yes, and?

>>21581130It really doesn't. Topcoated plastic looks like garbage and I call it out every time I see it posted. They always respond with some dumb shit like 'herp derp no point painting white plastic white'If that was true I wouldn't fucking call it every time. That lazy faggot who only paints the details on his AOZ kits, the faggot who only painted the purple on his RG Hi-Nu, the faggot who posted the 30MS with the big sword, etc. You can see that trash a mile away.
PGU restock when?
>>21581138never
>>21581105this is why everyone here is always screaming at eachother.
>>21581135Aren't RGs specifically made for that though? Even their official promo shots are topcoated plastic.
>>21581139I just want to snap the big bitch together and never use those nasty decals or paint it. No reason to pay the scalp prices...
>>21581135holy cope
>>21581135How can you tell if the white part of a gunpla is painted or topcoated plastic? There was an Anon that posted a BfM kit earlier this thread and I couldn't tell.
>>21581149Exactly. That's why you are supposed to shade like a true modeller instead of just recoloring parts like a baby. No one is going to mistake shaded and/or weathered kit with a snapshit.
>>21581153i am no less a true modeller than someone who shades if i just topcoat plastic. hell even just snapchads are modellers.
>>21581146Your builds look like shit>>21581149Topcoated plastic always lets a small bit of light poke through. It's hard to tell on some spots but easier along the edges. The Aerial posted earlier was obviously fully painted but he either used glossy paint or finished with clear gloss making it look similar on the surface to a long snapped kit but you can also make out some grain on the surface that only colored pigment paint leaves (and not clear)
>>21581156holy cope
>>21581153I've never actually seen a shading job on gunpla that looked good
>>21581159is this cope for just blasting base coats on at 50psi ? lol
>>21581142Their promo shots are literally 3D renders
>>21581145>>21581138Its been getting restocked like everywhere
>>21581161The ones in their manuals I mean.
>>21581160Post an example of good looking shading on gunpla
>>21581159do u like my alex
>>21581169>>21581171
>>21581171Flawless paintjob but try to take it further by scribing it, never stagnate brother.
>>21581178i don't like excessive surface detail>>21581175thanks glad you like it, it's definitely my best work so far
>>21581171not that guy, but great jobhope some coping paintlets will learn from you
>>21581178>Flawless paintjob>poorly lit scene>can barely see the shadingOK>SCRIBE IT BROLMAO
>>21581171which paints did you use for white?
>>21581181all you do is disparage peoples' builds on /gpg/ and have done so for the past several generals what is your deal?
>>21581082>charging a grand for a super duper custom paint jobI've seen those and they never fail to make me both laugh and cringe.Also, can someone tell me how bad of an idea it is to NOT wait a day for plastic cement to dry before sanding? I really want to get started with painting already and I'm hoping that waiting a few hours will be enough. How much would I regret it?
>>21581184a mix of mr color gx white and a bit of gx blue to make a sky blue sort of colour for the basecoat, then the main white is just mr color gx white over the top. i prefer to do my shading by 'highlighting' the main colour over a darker colour rather than preshading with black lines
>>21581185>and have done soThat was my first post disparaging anything.It looks good from what I can see but it's not clearly "flawless" since it's poorly lit.I don't disparage anyone, just point out facts.
>>21581171>shadows on protruding edges>surfaces that are facing in completely different directions being brightly litWhat about this is "shading"?
I have plaplate to practice scribing patterns on but I'm just rescribing some lines on this RG I'm working on. Any tips for scribing? I have scribing tape too.
>>21581191Its called pillow shading and a lot of deviant art artists do it.
>>21581191this type of shading isn't meant to emulate shadows and lighting like the zenithal shading they use for mini painting, it's to emphasise edges shapes
>>21581199edges and shapes*
>>21581199Whatever it is it looks fucking weird.

Where do you guys get your styrene sheets from and what thicknesses and stuff? Never used them before not sure what I actually need
>>21581209scrap food packaging>smug chad.jpg
>>21581209Get it here *unzips dick*
>>21581209ebay0.5mm and 1mm
>>21580947lol
>>21581228that's probably the same type of person who'd say that all nippers are made in the same chinese factory and there's no need to buy good single bladed nippers when $5 double edged Italeris cut just fine
Do you guys know of any gunpla sites that do giftcards? I'd like to just give someone a giftcard so they can buy some gunplas they likeI don't really wanna do amazon
>>21581230Meanwhile Diaspae and Trumpeter ARE made by same company but with different brands and cut just the same, while difference in price is noticeable. And in the end, you need to level with knife anyway.
>>21581209Just waltz into hobby shop and ask for some, there is no particular reason to stick to certain brand and they vary in availability across countries anyway. In my shops you mostly get either Tamiya or Plastruct. Tamiya 3mm and up are quite bad to work with, by the way. Lately got some high impact polystyrene with 3mm thickness at another hobby shop (no brand specified) and it was much better in handling.0.5, 1 and 1.5mm are basics but it really depend on what you want to do with it. Also get some metal ruler and knife (ideally "scriber knife") for cutting (you cut it like you would cut glass - slide blade on surface up to half or 1/3 deep and break). Watch out for fingers.
>Cement some parts together>Realize after it cures and the seam is sanded out that I forgot to put the polycap inside one or two of the partsBros.... not like this.......
>>21581277just project the polycap into that plastic shell with your mind like a true modeller
>>21581277just saw it back in half then re-weld it
>>21581230>there's no need to buy good single bladed nippers when $5 double edged Italeris cut just finethis is true if you're painting
>>21581171what colors did you use for the frame? it looks really nice
>>21581292Seconding
>>21581292main colour is alclad steel, silver detail is alclad aluminium, pipes are vallejo metal color copper, joints are alclad black chrome, thrusters/gatlings/pistons are greenstuff world chrome (but this one came out kinda bad for some reason, not sure why because i've had good results with it before)
>>21580870>And do they have any dedicated colorssee the Shiden, those are probably as close to standard colors as you are gonna get with Tekkadan
>>21580870seconding the shiden, it's the closest thing you're gonna get. Tekkadan doesn't really have a single set of official colors, but then again very few gundam factions do.
Went and got those MG Turn As. They actually had 6 in stock so picked them all up. Going to keep 2 and sell the rest lol
>>21581351based
>>21581351cool blogone tip though: fiction is much more entertaining when there's a hint of realism to it, unless you're going all the way with satire/caricature
>>21581355Check your local hobbytown if you have one. No BS here. Said they had them in stock on the site for my store. Called them up and they did. So I got them.
Since you people consider stopping at base coats real modelling, then why don't you just go one step further and stop at primer?
>>21581360afraid i'm on the wrong continent for that
>>21581355it must have been reprinted recently because a store in my country has it up for preorder for june arrival
>>21581360>HobbytownI wish I had one closer the closest one is almost 2 hours away. Pain, but I get to live in a rural area so I can work on my models peacefully.

Why do you even care about these leaks?>poorfags have to allocate separate budget in advance (half year in the least) for few plastic robot kits if they don't want to end up in a cardboard boxI see. That's why.

Help. I've fallen and can't get up.

>>21581734Definitely not. That means they pulled a prank on you and assembled your kit then put it back in the box.

Never knew how decent aliexpress was for gunpla. They have some older non reprinted stuff for not out of this world pricing and they have newer stuff including retail and p bandai for actually good prices. Damn
>>21581916yes, completely legit, please buy an authentic pair of changhands too while you're at it
>>21581513Bandai would be based if they actually went through and made a MG Regenerate Gundam. Though I'm pretty sure all signs points towards a MG Reborns Gundam. Also damn it, Narrative C-Packs. I would've preferred the B-Packs but guess that means the latter is going to be P-Bandai.

Just snapshidded my Psychoblade Woundwort. I might paint it white and put some AEUG decals on it.
No reply? Thought so.
>>21581965Oh god that poor thing.Did you drop it on a belt sander?
>>21581965Dear lord. At least use higher grit sandpaper.
>>21581965>A woundwort was sold for this
>>21581972>>21581973It's just dust from using the same sanding stick for like 10 builds in a row

>>21581933Is it going to be a stickerfes like the fig rise digimons?
>>21582027No because I don't take a knife to my models
>>21576921lore answer is muh space for more minovsky particles and then when F91 comes around technology had advanced enough where they could make smaller units but same/more power. Real answer is jap recession happened so less plastic and so smaller kits.
>>21582036It's better than a belt sander
>>21582046It's also just an interesting idea for tech to end up progressing like that along a long enough timescale. I really like the idea of everyone making a push for more compact and agile mobile suits as an 'out' to the size arms race.
>>21582046>Real answer is jap recession happened so less plastic and so smaller kits.Not true, the bubble economy was still going when F91 came out.
>>21582055I can appreciate something like the Xi because it kinda looks like a Nighthawk or a stealth jet, but for me, the Penelope or the Nightingale is when it gets ridiculous.
>>21582055Things tend to increase in size over time regardless with a few moments where tech can shrink things down before you make things bigger again. Look at tanks or planes. They're all massive.One day UC will be full of massive suits once more. It's only a matter of time before the post G Savior timeline brings us Gundam being larger than the Psycho Gundam being the norm.
>>21582046>Real answer is jap recession happened so less plastic and so smaller kits.I think it was more a push to keep the lines in one scale. By CCA most of the kits were only 1/144 with only the Nu getting a 1/100I think f90/f91 was made smaller to let the line be a unified 1/100 while still coming out a similar size to 1/144 sized cca suits with the f91 getting another 1/60 kit to match the size of the 1/100 NuThe economy wasn't doing horrible until post 0083 with, with I think the f91 variation toy line being a way of squeezing some cash out of already made moldsThe quality of the art with f91 and 0083 show how good the money was right before a crash and rice/housing shortages. Victory hides it's woes with some damn incredible animation though
>>21582055I think if beam shields were invented earlier the size down might not have happened as quickly, as people realized that for all the armor you stack on a mobile suit beams will still tear them to shreds, so making something fast, agile, and small produces better results than bulky sitting targets, like capital ships tend to be. I-field generators were used to aid armored units, but really only mobile armors could field them effectively. Bu if beam shields were introduced earlier they could be used to supplant armor and increase survivability against beam weapons, so there wouldn't be a need for increased agility just yet.
>>21581187A day is maximum overkill. give it a hr or 2, if that. No regerts
>>21582076They just need to invent IBO style beam coating. Shit deflected a mobile armor laser no problem. This would eliminate beamspam shit and bring back more conventional weapons as well as more armored suits.
>has Gunpla kits out the eyeballs>only has cheapo monkey entry grade tools except for online and specialty shopsFailpenis never ceases to amaze me when it comes to retail stocking.
>>21582121There is anti-beam coating already, the gold armor of the Hyaku-Shiki and Delta Gundam are coated in it. It just doesn't work as well as in IBO. More than anything else, beam rifles changed the way of war in the Universal Century.
>>21582126>Hyaku-Shiki and Delta Gundam are coated in it.*shoots a beam at the joints*
>>21582135Which is exactly why anti-beam coating really didn't catch on, while increased maneuverability eventually did.I'm discounting all the tech created to support Newtypes because that got mothballed after Narrative, when the Federation realized that creating weapons that can turn any Newtype/Cyber-Newtype pilot into a force of mass destruction is a terrible idea, and did their best to cover up the existence of Newtypes altogether.
>>21582135damn newtypes ruining a good old fashioned war
>>21582121anti-beam isn't too hot in UC and really hits it's peak in Xboneit's all about the I-fields with honourable mention to the minovsky shield which only a handful of suits ever got
>>21582152
>>21582152wake me up when the real right arm of the forbidden one gets a kit
>>21581157>Topcoated plastic always lets a small bit of light poke throughWhat if I want light to poke through, like for example on the or the hair of a 30MS kit?
