***Graze Group Build***
Rules:
Pick any 1/144 or 1/100 kit from the Graze family (Pic Related), and paint and customize it. As far as customizing it, I'm going to place a limit on that. The limit is 50% additions to the kit.
To define 50%, look at it like this, you could take a Graze Ritter and replace the arms (including shoulders), legs, and backpack and I'd call that 50%. I'm not counting handheld bits in that. If you're unsure of something please ask in IRC, the thread, or email.
Start Date: 12/1/16
Due Date: 3/1/17
Submissions go to

Submission format
Please submit photos in jpg via a compressed file (zip, rar, or 7zip), please don't link images to imgur or photobucket or the like. Please also include some WIP photos of the kits being constructed/painted/etc as validation that it's your custom.

Reposting from /toy/ in case. What's the recommended waiting time between hand painted coats for Tamiya acrylics? It's just very small areas that I masked improperly when using my airbrush, this is the old HGUC Gouf I am using as a first painting attempt. And thinning ratio, if you know. Googling the topic didn't leads to much conclusive info.
Anyone know how to remover the core fighter from the MG Crossbone XI?
Are HLJ ok? ordered 2 in stock iteams 2 days ago and it's still not in my private warehouse. Anyone else experiencing delays?
>>15128667
HLJ in general is considered pretty safe, SAL is slow but you should still receive your items. I've ordered from it during sales multiple times with SAL and had things arrive to the US within 2 weeks.
>>15128667
theres also the says 'in stock' and its 'not really in stock' problem that every business has inherently

Not to be a dutty repeat poster, but no one replied last thread. I just snapped my first kit together (See Pic). I'm going to prime and then paint it in a red and silver motif. Will Citadel spray primer be ok? I have loads left over from my warhammer projects. Do I need to prepare the plastic in any way? I can tell it's very different to GW plastic, I haven't worked on it's like in years.
>>15128686

>>15128758
Scrub/wash with kitchen detergent? It's what I do for resin.
Thanks to a fireball and pepperoni pizza induced dream, I had a thought...
How long would it be before we get another RG Grunt for Zeon? Much less Feddie? How did a Z'gok get picked before say, a Gelgoog or a Dom? How come they haven't done any Feddie grunts at all? Why do they keep making 2.0s for kits that have had more recent releases than ones who truly deserve it?
Why is Bandai so afraid to swim into the deep end and be a base company?
Because nobody replied to me last thread, what kit is this?
>>15129103
Z'gok got picked because it was a Char suit probably.
>>15129116
It's a custom based on the Throne units from 00 that incorporates IBO traits I think?
>built char zaku 2.0
>decide to change pink to dark red like the one from Origin
It looks like johnny ridden's now.
Also what causes top coat to look like it's snowy, I did something wrong did I? This has never happened to me before but it's the first time I actually painted a kit instead of just top coating it.
>>15129081

>How did a Z'gok get picked before say, a Gelgoog or a Dom?
I don't fucking know, I don't know!
This confuses the fuck out of me.
Of all things, why the Z'gok instead of at least a Dom from the Tri-Stars?
>>15129128
But thinking like that, how come no Gelgoog or Zeong? He had the Gelgoog longer than the Z'gok.
>>15129186
All good choices. But the fact they aren't willing to do a GM and Ball combo is concerning.
>>15129191
See, a Tri Stars Dom would sell like hot cakes since people would want three. I bought three HiMo Tri Star Zakus, both HGUC and Origin because it's the fucki.g Tri Stars!

You need to make the other shade of red on the skirts and the torso
>>15129341
Lighter or darker? I'm a bit colorblind or something I can't see much of a difference when it comes to a color's shade, just assume it through the names.
>>15129352
Darker, the red on the torso and skirts should be more of a brick red or maroon
>>15129367
Alright, thanks.
Too lazy to decal the other leg and build the backpack.

Whats this Yellow V-fin Nonsense?
>>15129521
Same sort of nonsense as the shoulder cannon, the wrist vulcans, and the chest-mounted mega machine cannons. Origin has a lot of dumb nonsense like that.
Since when did they add a yellow v-fin in origin?
>>15129521
What grade is this? Mine has a white vfin
>>15129539
Some of Yas's watercolors for Origin have the v-fin as orange, and the eyes as pink.
>>15129509
Wait, I thought that had a ZZ feeling to it. But that's way to skinny. Is it a conversion kit or?
Its a new Master Grade Origin Gundam that comes with 2 leds, yellow and pink.

>>15129552
It's an all plastic kit of a resin conversion (ZZ Extra-Fit)
>>15129521
It's yellow in the manga, hence that release being the manga color version.
>>15129600
Nice, where does one acquire this?
>>15129551
Probably would've helped if I attached a pic. Interestingly enough, after skimming the raws the v-fin seems to be colored as yellow consistently throughout Origin. The eyes are sometimes yellow, sometimes pink (but more often they're pink).
>>15129609
Ebay, China, Gundam Central
>>15129622
Much appreciated.
>>15129618
It's peculiar how the V-fin is yellow in the manga but everything else is white. But they had the foresight to include both colours for the eyes on the kit.
Fucking crazy i own every volume of gundam the origin and never realized.
>new model info
>still nothing new on Barzam
s-so thats still happening right?
>>15129762
Bandai confirmed over Twitter that it's not happening. It's currently on "hiatus" like the MG Age 3. So basically cancelled.
>>15129762
>>15129889
I had no expectations, yet I still leave disappointed.
>>15129908
He's bullshitting you.
>>15128242
It was my first kit too. Still a WIP since i'm waiting to put on the stickers the same day I top coat it. (It's been like 65% humidity for awhile now)
Can anyone confirm if pic related is the right brand for clear coa?. I read that thia is our equivalent of future/Pledge. Sorry for phoneposting
>>15130043
>>15130043
Right brand, wrong product. That's a liquid polish, you need the varnish.

Dumb question here. I wanted to at least start painting my kit this weekend, but it's raining. I've heard advice against painting in overly wet conditions, but does it actually mess up the paint? Or just make it take longer to dry?
>>15130075
The humidity will "orange peel" the paint afaik
how big is this fucker going to be? i own the 1/144 AT-ST and its just barely smaller then my MG Crossbone, but a AT-AT is fuck huge
Have we heard anything about a GM-II AEUG version? I know the EFSF one is P-Bandai, but IIRC wasn't there an AEUG version on display? I don't want to shill out for a p-bandai if I can just repaint it.
>>15130082
Ok, I guess I'll have to wait. I assume it'll effect primer the same way?
>>15130085
An AT-AT is 22.5 meters tall.

So will this thing have good elbow bends, or are they stuck at 90 degrees? I know that Bandai's managed to make those sorts of "circle-jointed" elbows bend at 180 degrees with some neat engineering, but I'm not sure if they've done so with 1/144 kits. I'm wondering because none of the promo pics I've seen have had the arms bend past 90 degrees.
>>15130156
>>15130160
>>15130163
>>15130170
I take it back. It doesn't look so bad as a kit. I can think of some fun ideas for customs with it already.
>>15128618
>build the SEED-5 MGs with crappy stickers and top coat
>MG Providence Premium comes with water slides for all 5 of them
Fuck!
>>15130194
looks like it can't bend much further than 90 due to the forearm armor.
I've got a tough decision now, either lupus or rex. They're too similar to justify both
>>15130162
There literally nothing (nada) wrong with that you kek.
>>15130194
Going by this >>15130194 even with the xbox hueg forearms it still has the standard IBO bend of approxx 100 degrees
>>15130226
Yes it can, the only problem is that the joint is likely prone to become lose just like the Graze Ein kit.
help me out here anons,
i wanted to attach a big ass sword to a solid cape piece without compromising the aesthetic of the cape when the sword isnt on it. what do you suggest?
>>15130085
The Bandai AT-ST is 1/48.
>>15129949
Final progress for today. I won't be able to work on it again for a couple days but it's looking great. Not sure yet though if I want to do the stickers right away or wait.
>>15130085
Are those three numbers at the bottom not the dimensions?
>>15130279

Finished snapping this qt. Can't wait to paint it .casino bunny girl colors
Hey /m/, I heard the call of the wild, so to speak, and ended up buying, building and painting a Rozen Zulu. It was my first time experimenting with thinning my paints and I learned a LOT. But on the whole, I had a nice time of it. Came to share.
>>15130487
Rotate.
But it looks especially good for a first time. Even if it's an edgelord paintscheme, the trim is impressive. Much better than my first time.
>>15129521
For the second release I think they should have gone with the magnetic coating space version upgrade he recieves after going back to space

>>15130578 yeah the picture is upright on my phone but it posted sideways no clue as to why this is. Bah. Anyway, thanks man, this was a crazy paintjob to say the least, and yeah it is an edgelord paintjob, but that was my theme from the outset. Rozlord Zuledge
>>15130962 thanks man! First I was just layering and layering red but it wasn't as vibrant as I wanted it to be (you can still see evidence of this with the feet) . The a friend told me to put down an undercoat of testors silver before applying red. By golly it worked! So basically ever bit of red you see that really popping, well, that's why! Everybody's gunna freak probably but used I used
Pic related mixed with nailpolish remover at a 70/30 ratio for the rest of the red. Worked out pretty okay though! By the time all the red lines were done... It was a fucking mess. So I busted out some matte black and cleaned up the messy lines which is why some of the black sections look a bit lumpy. I learned then and there that I need to buy some damn masking tape if I EVER wanna do something like this again! But yeah tl;dr:"THIN YER PAINTS" is very good advice, use small brushes, undercoat anything on black with silver to give that shit a nice vibrance, and mask your shit cuz you won't always luck out with the same black on your brush as you had with the spraypaint. Also patience. I thought I was gunna knock this out in a night. Not so, muchacho.
>>15131240
Sorry here's pic realted, I'm all thumbs today.
bretty cool
OK so I got everything built up. I got some touch up markers and a good exacto blade to get rid of nub marks. Now I got a basic set of Gundam markers, the six pack, and then a fine tip black. I've seen a lot of people say that you should go with fine tip grey on the white panels. Makes sense. Only issue is no one locally has any fine tip grey markers, the grey one in the basic six pack I got seems to be a bit too thick for panel lining. Online is gonna take forever to ship too. Should I order the grey online and just wait or line it with the fine tip black marker I have now? First gunpla kit in like a decade and I never panel lined or finished a kit before. I've only snap built and that's it.
>>15130989
What colors are you painting it?
I fucking love how lean this kit looks
Hey guys. Im in taiwan these days and was wondering if any here had up-to-date know how of any stores where you can get some gunpla without getting stiffed on the price? Google isn't all that helpful and a lot of the first hits are for stores that have closed down it seems. Or is it so popular there will be several hobby stores in taipei that sell gunpla?
>>15130989
I felt pretty meh about that suit until I built it.
great kit
>>15130434
Baselard is a QT there, but I'm still holding out for Hresvelgr when I can find a chance to grab her.
Anyone built a plamo from girls und panzer? I love tanks and was thinking about picking one of those. The normal ones are too advanced for me I think.
>>15131585
They're the same as normal tank kits, except they come with GuP decals and are slightly more expensive.
>>15131600
Oh ok. I thought you had to paint normal tanks and you didn't have to on GuP kits, like Gundam
>>15131372
You should probably order the grey and brown panel lining markers for when you want them in the future, but black panel lines are actually fine on pretty much everything- some people just prefer the somewhat more subdued looks of grey on white plastic and brown on red.
Pretty sure Dalong does black panel lines on nearly everything, if you want to see an example of what the lines would look like before you commit.
>>15131653
the only true way to panel line is with one of those brushes they use to write kanji, and you must do it under a sakura blossom whilst being the last heir of the top yakuza clan.
Often times, I see fully primed kits put together. Do people prime like this, joints and all?
Or do they prime everything and then reassemble?
Bandai is releasing Bogue's Draken in 1/72 scale and it comes with the sword Keith's lacked. I guess it was a last minute addition to the design, just for the final fight.
Talking about Lloid, I hope Bandai will release his white Draken too. The colors were cool.

is anyone happy about the IBO arms box number 9?
it's literally a conversion kit:
--Ground Graze
--Scharfritter
--Landman Rodi
the only weapons are 2x rifles for the FullCity
by accident, Bandai released the perfect box for me, since ALL the above are in my backlog...
>>15132773
You're slow. The consensus was that people are pretty happy with it, since the Ground Graze doesn't have an HG and neither does the landman rodi.

Reviews SOON
>>15132773
Now if only they release the other Rodis, the Gilda, and the mini Graze.
Completed snapfagging and decal'd the actual MS.
One more beam rifle to do then decal it.
>>15132773
There was a pic of the assembled and painted Scharfritter and it kind of looks like crap in model form, like the head is way too big compared to how it looks in the lineart or something. And to make it you'll need to also buy two of option set 8 for the shoulders and pickax.
So I was able to jerry rig the Tallgeese decals to make a label for my Leo. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I used the g in Tallgeese for a 6 in the model number.
Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to make the OZ logo.
>>15129415
How'd you get hold of the ZZ ver ka? They haven't even announced a release date yet.
>>15133005

>>15132817
He definitely had more fun with his reviews 7 years ago.
When did the light die?
>>15131585
>>15131606
Yeah, they're just your average tank kit. Platz just licenses the molds from other tank kit companies like Dragon and throw in a set of GuP Decals. If you do decide to pick one up to try building a tank, I'd say go with a 1/35 kit over a 1/72 kit due to how much smaller the pieces on a 1/72 kit can be.
Fuck the headlights on this thing, one of the few times I've actually had to use tweezers for something.
>>15133181
Dun lie. That's clearly the Robot Spirits figure. Keep it Plamo guys. Bad enough with Snapshit here.
>>15131400
I'm not yet sure. I'm thinking of using the base collors for once, but make the suit more red then that.
I've also been thinking about gold, white and orange.
>>15133632
If he wants to post it, let him.
And also, Snap is the only good builder here.
>>15133684

>>15133173

>>15132789
>>15132977
>And to make it you'll need to also buy two of option set 8 for the shoulders and pickax.
Yeah, that's the only really sucky part, while I don't mind two sets of Pickaxes, it means you'd get two sets of Reginlaze alt hands, and I'm not big on getting a Reginlaze in the first place...
Same could be said for the Battle Blade in Option 4, but honestly I never like it compared to the Knight Blade.
>>15132851
>Now if only they release the other Rodis, the Gilda, and the mini Graze.
I don't know about the Gilda, but they did show Amida use to pilot a Spinner Rodi before the Turbines were founded, and the Hloekk Graze just showed up as an Ammo caddy for a Railgun Sniper variant of the Graze.
>>15130989
>>15131400
Perhaps this might serve as some slight inspiration, though, more for details than color scheme.
>>15133632
I'm not sure if you're serious or not. But look at the ankle armor, I just kept the original Tallgeese ones instead of scratchbuilding.
I did base the gun, chest and color off the Robot Damashii version though.
Anyways thanks for the compliment.
>>15133769
I used an MG Tallgeese, the head, knee armor, butt thrusters and gun (minus the scope) can be bought on Shapeways.
It's fucking expensive and you'll need to sand and re-texture the parts to get them too match.
The chest and feet I scatch built from the Tallgeese parts.
I waited 2 years for a RE100 Leo or for a chink bootleg but it never came.
Leo is the best looking grunt of the whole franchise.
>>15134038
Just repost the wip pics to shut that one anon up
>>15134062
I don't have much. I honestly think I'm being trolled.
>>15134085
Still good proof
>>15130272
Post a picture of the Cape. Are you aiming for having the sword diagonally across the figs back? Easy solution could be to put the sword into one of the cape's folds (if there are folds) and cut off part of a thumbtacks nail and plug it in. Of course thats gonna leave a small hole when you remove the sword. Dont seen any way to not get a hole in it unless you want to make a short strap for the sword to hang from.
>>15132835
I wouldn't be surprised if another one is being built. there was a thing to see if a moving one could be constructed.
It's a long shot but does anyone want to help me identify what kits were being used for this?
>>15134691
I know that the backpack is using those hd part kits.
>>15134696
>>15134698
last one
>>15134698
legs are Geirail I'm fairly certain, torso is the Ball
>>15134698
Crotch is from the Doven Wolf, arms look like they belong to a Gundam-type MS.
>>15130156
nice design but gundam primary colours dont work for it. Dont ereaally like the feet either
>>15134038
>>15134085
A+, bro. I'm tempted, because the Leo is sexy, but I don't feel I'm good enough just yet.
>>15134698
The arms are from a Murasame.
>>15132076
If you're gonna go through the trouble of grabbing one, get the 1/100. It actually comes with all the weapon options. That said, serpents are sexy, so don't let the age of it stop you if you like it.
Ok so how big of a chance is there for a MG The Origin Char's Zaku II?
>>15135583
Why would you want one when the only differences between origin and the 2.0 is a darker shade of red and tiny ass vulcans on the chest?
First time building a Zaku and usually dont get a response on /wsr/. What exactly am I supposed to do here? This is a tube for the leg piece and it looks like it wants me to slide the rings over but there is no actual piece to slide them onto.
>>15135768
Anyone want to help me out? I'm also debating between an Iwata Eclipse vs. Revolution.
>>15135727
What grade or scale is your kit?
>>15135727
You are just supposed to slide the power cable rings onto the spring as shown.
>>15135888
Go back to your thread, you shouldn't need directions.
>>15128688
>Will Citadel spray primer be ok?
Gunpla plastic isn't that fussy from my experience. Even Rustoleum primer made for outdoor shit seems to work just fine.
>Do I need to prepare the plastic in any way?
Rinsing the parts in warm soapy water never hurts.
>>15135727
I'm going to assume thats a MG 2.0 Zaku, which in that case >>15135895 is correct. Your kit should have come with some sort of wire or tube to act as the part between the pipes.
>>15135936
Go post on your thread.
>>15135727
Yeah, all you need to do mate is slide that metal piece onto the small elbow joint then chuck the small pieces on it (read slide them on.)
>>15136003
There's no need for that nonsense when he's helping a fellow anon. Any other case sure. But he's actually contributing in this case. Don't shit up the thread over every little detail.
>>15134822
>>15135303
>>15135399
alight thanks for all the help
>>15136084
No. He's complained enough about how boo hoo hoo we've got a big old hugbox that there's no reason for him to post here. He can stick to his thread no matter how helpful he is.
>>15136183
Well then if you don't want him involved then how about you give anon some advice.
>>15134691
Kind of reminds me of an Ogre from Titanfall
>>15136246
Because I was off playing X-Com. I've got things to do that don't involve keeping Snapfit from posting.
>>15136370
>>15136183
And? That's not a good enough excuse. He was helpful. You were not. By your logic, go back to /v/ since that took priority over helping a fellow anon in this hobby.
>>15136254
The modeler named it the "Titanball", so I think that's what he was going for
>>15136383
You're not spending every waking moment sitting around this thread defending Snapfit. Besides, X-Com is /m/, dumbass.
>>15136410
I hope Snapfit dies a death similar to the swimmers in Chernobyl, but if they are helping an anon out, let it slide you halfwit. Also, X-Com is /v/ first. It's a fucking game, with very minute amounts of /m/.
>>15136457
No tolerance for Snapfit. If he insists on making his own thread, he can use it. If he won't use it, then he can stop making it.
How in god's name is X-Com minutely /m/ though?
>>15136467
Clearly he needs a containment board or better yet a ban. But you're no better always attacking him even if he helping. He's probably never going to be an active part helping out, but take what you can get.
And do you pilot robots/tanks/jets/heavy machinery? Are you a full cyborg/android/augmented human? Does it follow the rule of cool? Is there lots of screaming incoherent things while unleashing bullshit attacks? The closet /m/ it has is weapons, which is more /k/, and the alien cyborg things.
>>15136483
He really does, but him sticking to his own thread is just as good to me.
UFO Defense has Power Armor, Flying Armor, Sectopods, and then HWPs and Cyberdisks more distantly, TFTD just has Ion Armor and Magnetic Armor, it's more Godzillaish. Apocalypse has nothing but power armor for your troops, Interceptor I think has nothing especially /m/ but nobody plays Interceptor anyways, and Enforcer has Enforcer and Sectopods. Enemy Unknown has like five different power armors, Cyberdisks, and Sectopods, Enemy Within adds MECs, Mectoids, and Seekers or Stalkers or whatever the squid robots are called, and 2 has some kind of jello monster in power armor or something, I haven't played it yet.
>>15136500
Fair enough point. I'll concede and agree with you there.
I had a total mind blank about the earlier X-Com games. I automatically assumed you were playing EU or EW. I find it hard to say Power Armor is full /m/ but I'll concede to that as well. My bad.
>>15136537
I like 1-3's focus on administration more than XCOM's focus on puzzling out how to erase the xenos the fastest. I've been thinking about painting something in X-Com colors, but they're all beige and shit except the Disruptor Armor from Apocalypse and the stuff from TftD, and I'm not good enough at painting yet to put on logos.
>>15136553
I only remember sucking at the earlier games my first attempt to play them as a kid.
You could always make a stencil and paint them on that way.
>>15135366
As far as skills go, It was my first time to scratch build anything. Plaplate was really helpful and so was liquid cement.
I used epoxy putty to smooth things out and fill in any gaps, which was probably a mistake I should have used normal tamiya putty. Epoxy is a bitch to sand.
If its not a money issue (an MG Tallgeese and those 3d printed parts aren't cheap) I say go for it. Aside from the size, Tallgeese and Leo are basically the same suit. Just maybe watch some youtube videos on how to use everything first.
Give me a reason to not fall for the Vidar meme suit.
>>15136704
The 1/100's arms can barely move forward.

Is the Devil Art MG Providence worth picking up?
It's third party but the detail looks superb,and it comes with DRAGOON effect parts.
>>15136930
It's called the Radiv. It uses two Rapiers at once, two guns at once, and 10 finger fisting while delivering fleshlight footjobs.
>>15136940
Why not get the official one?
>>15136935
Nice, hows the build? I like the weird proportions on it and thought it getting myself one
>>15136940
The Bandai one is also coming with effect parts.
>>15136940
How much money do you really save getting a knock off?
The base prices are often pretty OK, but the shipping is insane for an MG.
The only time I thought about getting one was the Tallgeese because it came with the Tempest Heat Lance. I'd probably shell out 20 dollars just for that piece.
Hey /gunpla/, my friend got this as a gift from his brother, he noticed that there's absolutely no Bandai labeling or anything like that.
Is this a knock off or some sort of misprint?
>>15134696
What backpack is that?
>>15136994
It's a bootleg by Dragon Momoko.
This is technically gunpla-related since this is a resin kit.
Who the fuck is that on the bottom?
>>15136994
Isn't that the Dragon Momoko logo in the bottom?
>>15136994
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=MG+epyon+box
obvious knock off.
>no Endless Waltz logo
>no Bandai logo
>>15136985
The bootleg is slightly cheaper, but I just like how detailed it is. It keeps the bulky asthetic of the Providence but sharpens it up a bit. Plus the leg armor as that "splitting" gimmick found in the old MG Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice.
>>15137007
>>15137005
>>15137004
Alright, thanks. We just wanted to know. Kind of has some novelty to it, considering he got it for free.
>>15137005
It's really bothering me how they made the chest of the top figure absurdly large, it makes her tiny head look even tinier.
>>15137005
looks like a made up character just for that figure, since Google only shows me that when I searched the name.
>>15137028
It lists her name?
>>15128618
I have that racaseal ,where is the scarf from?
>>15137003
i still cant figure it out, I really wished the dude who made it had some picks of the back before he painted so it would be easier to identity.
>>15136397
>>15136254
the rifle and eye tells me its a Tone titan from Titanfall 2
is this normal release or P Bandai?
>>15137269
looks like a normal release from what i've seen
>>15137267
it has the same paint job as well
>>15137292
I hope so, cause I really really want it.
>>15136397
>>15137267
I wish I could do this stuff right now, i'm still pretty new at all of this
>>15134691
gerail is for the legs
The arms are definitely UC, not sure what.
>>15137319
Torso is hg ball, crotch is hg doven wolf, arms are from hg Murasame, legs are from Geirail. The rifle is from summer 2016 HG customize campaign parts, the rocket launchers are from another HG customize campaign parts. The only things that are left to identify is the backpack and what the modeler used as the eye.
the pic is from an earlier build of it but includes the eye piece.
>>15137267
they should of went with a northstar since Northstar looks like a ball.
That and Tone is a shit.
>>15137269
normal I believe its on sale at hs. yep

Sorry I didn't read the whole thing, so I guess she's originally from a card game.
>>15137371
well shit, I would never have found that. Thanks for the info.
So, my attempt at making the OZ logo.
An O decal, some straight line decals and some white paint, and I think it actually says "Freedom Treaty of the Zodiac" but only ants can notice that error.
Amida's Hyakuren flying off shelves.
>>15137392
I thought it was Order of Zodiac.
Looks good, though.
>>15137413
It's supposed to be Organization of the Zodiac, but I couldn't find an "Organization" decal in the right size.
I used a ZAFT (Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty) decal and re-arranged the words.
>>15137416
if that leo is 1/144 then it does not matter, the text cant be red anyway
>>15137418
It's 1/100. But yeah you can barely make it out, you really to really get up on it.
>>15137416
That's kind of the nature and appeal of scratch building, it's unique and has a story of how you built it. All of these quirks that kind of make it personal.
I really fucking want one, but I know I'm not up to snuff yet. Someday I 'll have a Leo model and Deckard's blaster.
>>15137435
It's been a pretty fun experience.
But I know the moment I finish detailing this guy, Bandai is going to announce a RE100 Leo for like 2,000 yen.
>>15137439
>Bandai is going to announce a RE100 Leo
Anon, it's been like 21 years. They won't ever do it.
Or a Virgo, for that matter.
>>15137410
RIP best couplenot like there's much competition for that title in IBO, though
>>15137459
I thought with the MG AC kits, the tease in the planning image and the tease in the Gundam Magazine that hinted at an Altron 6 months before the official announcement And the fact that the RE100 line is for kits that aren't popular enough for an MG. There's a possibility. But yeah, I not holding my breath.
>Or a Virgo, for that matter.
I'd buy any 1/00 AC grunt
>>15137473
I can't wrap my mind around that image. Is it implying that Leo is in the same candidate batch as Kshatriya and a Jegan? That's baffling.
>Altron
Ugliest Gundam and worst pilot of the series.
Like I said, Serpent is still around for 20-30 USD.
>>15137496
It's implying that they are possibilities I guess, even though they ended up making GM Sniper an MG. Who really knows.
>Ugliest Gundam and worst pilot of the series.
I like Shenlong and Altron both their TV and EW versions. MG Shenlong is what got me into gunpla.
>>15137523
>MG is p-bandai
>>15137523
I was implying the early series one looks uninspired, though I suppose that's Shenlong? I get confused because Wufei always says Nataku.
But yeah, I doodled many an Altron in school in my youth. Though I've always had a soft spot for Sandrock.
I started building recently after about 25ish years. My dad used to buy me SD kits all the time when he was overseas in the military when I was super little.
What's the best looking HG and MG for the MS-09 Dom? Best looking as in I don't need to fuss with paint for it to be passable.

Finished the G Bouncer as my first Gunpla of the year, and absolutely love this guy. Definitely want to check out more AGE kits, since I really loved the Feddie suits from that show.
What is the yellow thing for?
>>15137694
Despite AGE being a terrible anime, the gunpla are really freaking good
How's this kit compared to Gundam High Grades from the 2000's? worth getting?

>>15137694
God do it. AGE kits in general are great and the MG AGE-2 I'm making zero progress on right now is probably one of the best MG's I've made.Except all the polycaps fuck them.
>>15137875
It's a very pale green
you know who needs a model kit?
>>15137694
I still have this and the AGE-3s in my backlog.
>>15137889
Woundwort?
>>15137918
Do you really want to see all that hot glue?
>>15137732
Terrible gummy hands and it's got problems with standing due to the weight of the backpack. The feet aren't polycapped either.
I'll probably try to recast the hands once I finally get around to building mine.
I'm thinking of trying out an earlier HG out of curiosity. Is the Z'gok or Hi Zack any good
Honestly, black claws look nicer but also clash terribly against the rest of the yellow edges.
>>15138062
It'd probably look better with the white claws standard Lupus had.
>>15138062
Don't worry, HG will have stickers for claws and stinger instead.

The Tekkadan logo probably won't be parts like the Lupus' shoulders, will it? As much as I wasn't a fan of the design I liked that on the Lupus. :c

What the flying fuck. Was the budget really stretched that thin?
So why is it not called Revive?
Did the Revive line get axed or something?I only know that nips and gunotas were pissed that NAOKI was involved with the line and that he "ruined" Impulse, Qubeley and Hyaku Shiki's proportions. He is to them is like Katoki to /m/, but with dedicated hatethreads

Revive was never a "line". It was a marketing gimmick just like the All Gundam Project before it. It's been a couple of years so now they're moving onto the next marketing gimmick. Basically just same idea, new name.
>>15138303
It's a promo for the Providence. The Justice is a horrifying gestalt of the Savior and the Infinite Justice, from what I remember, not a proper Master Grade.
