Let's nuke this one and start over.

2 questions.
1. What are some of the best 1/100 articulated hands I can buy separately?
2. Where can I get 1/100 weapons that would fit nicely in those hands, especially a beam saber?

Bought this old Endless Waltz kit, I guess it requires painting? Do older kits typically do this? Because I wanted to pick up the rest of this set, but now I don't know, as I currently lack the means to paint.

>>15286037
If you buy an old kit, expect to paint. Only as Bandai got better at color separation did paintless kits become standard.

>>15286037

That's the crux of old Wing HG kits. Check the sticker sheet, there may be one to cover that shield up.

> Do older kits typically do this?
Yes, older kits tend to be one colour only and have bad line seperation, you also have to drill out your own holes and sometimes (depending on the age of the kit) plastic cement everything and still end up with very loose parts if following directions.

>>15286037
short answer: yes
long answer: also depends on scale and grade. older kits required painting the further you go back. better start practicing.
look at some kits they've made in the 80s and you can really see how far they've come

>>15286054
There are stickers for the white, but not the blue. Suppose I could just buy a can of blue spray or something. Feel like it'll differ to much from the rest of the kit though.

Finished snapping together a RG Sinanju. Heard about this guy usually having loose joints, lots of pieces liking to fall off, and the inability of this guy to stand without using a base. havent had any of those problems other than for the tips of the toes occasionally falling off when im holding it and moving stuff around. Did I get lucky?

>>15286074
You could mask the shield and hit it with a white and blue spraycan

>>15286198
Yeah, gotta learn eventually I guess.

>>15286248

Well the good thing with old Wing kits is they are cheap to practice on. That Tallgeese shield has all the sculpted panels you need to mask and paint it.

>>15286903

God Gundam needs paint.
Gundam X is actually surprisingly good, I really enjoyed it.
I don't know about Double X. I hear it's impressive just because it's big but the lack of surface detail hurts it.

Oh dang i can only afford to put lining decal and topcoat at this point.

>>15287058

The only paint it needs is yellow on the chest jewel thing. You can just buy a can of Tamiya Yellow, mask the surroundings, and spray.

I think Gundam X and Double X require no paint whatsoever so if you really don't want to paint, get those. Or start buying Master Grades. Most HGs require some degree of detail painting.

>>15287065
Yeah nice advice thanks, i only stick to HGs for now since i don't have the space and money for them, probably down in a few months i will get MGs.

Just got into Gunpla for one month and a half.

How do you keep a backlog, /m/? Maybe its because I just snap, line, and topcoat, but I buy a few, build them, bask in their glory, then get more. How does one even let things like this accumulate?

Not that anon, but is the issue that the peg is too tight or that it's breaking under the weight of the kit if you're not using the stand? Because the former should be easy to solve just by sanding a tiny bit.

>>15288128
>>15288124
The Freedom 2.0 isn't that heavy, I assure you.

The issue with the hip is both tightness and basic physics. Following the instructions will make you put the legs into the hips in an awkward angle.

It would've been fine if the peg was on the legs themselves, but the pegs to attach the legs are on the waist.

That, along with the somewhat tight hole means you're using more force than usual to put the peg in. But that's not the biggest risk.

The hole that the instructions tell you to put in the peg is attached to a swinging joint, so there's a chance that joint might suddenly move. That sudden movement is the biggest risk to the peg breaking.

There's many solutions, but mine is to minimize the movement by building attaching Step 8 <3> to the waist unit WITHOUT attaching it to the legs, THEN attaching the legs through the thigh hole. It's a less awkward angle and there's no swing between the hip peg and the thigh hole.

Gonna build the RG Sinanju (may my sanity rest in peace), and since it comes with a glossy red I think I'll keep that look for the red, but what about the other colours?

Gloss gray looks horrible, so matte on that one for sure. Flat or gloss for the black and white?

>>15288668
You could always put a semi gloss coat on top of the red so the shine's more reasonable, as well you should try removing the waist and putting some superglue over the ball joint to tighten the waist up

>>15288920

The Origin doesn't have a core fighter so it has the best waist mobility. It has the newest engineering and comes with a bunch of shit and a shoulder gun.

The RX-78-2 old MG is old and it shows.

The 2.0 is the most "animation accurate" and comes with a shitload of stuff but has less surface detail.

The 3.0 is a copy of the big Gundam statue so it has a slightly different design and more surface detail but comes with less stuff.

>>15288935

I'm having some issues with removing the nubs on the arms, the curve causes issues with my exacto knife. Did you guys just sand them down? Also is 1000 grit best for polishing the plastic back to the way it was? I guess it's not a huge deal, I'm just gonna top coat it when I'm done.

There are much worse than the f91. The stickers on his shoulder are easy to put on, as are the little triangles. The blue stickers on his cannons are so huge that they're impossible to mess up. You really not outta let that steer you away from the kit. It's such a great design and the kit's all around solid.

I can't wait to see what's wrong with their AC kits.

Up until the Muv-Luv kits Kotobukiya was famous for their brittle plastic. I think the apex of their shit plastic was during the AC4 kits. Practically like glass. Also, horrendous seam lines.

Frame Arms are when they started really stepping their game up but the first gen FAs have serious problems with tolerances and parts fit.

You should get it just because you love the ZZ there are a couple issues with articulation because of the pack and there are a couple parts that need painting (the knees) but its pretty solid.

i beefed mine up to prevent stress marks and sanded the pegs a little bit so it wasn't so stressfully tight, still tight but not enough to worry about, and i used some JB weld to fill in all the gaps in the swinging peg parts.

Deadline has passed, entries voted on for two days, and a winner announced today. There was even an extra day extension to get entries in.

>>15292562
Well.. shit.

I don't want to assemble anything yet because I want to start painting but the weather has been shit for the past month here.

How would I get two torsos together like this?

A spider mecha has been my dream custom and I'd like to replicate this somehow.

The way that one was done was due to how the IBO kits are attatched at the waist. The Graze there uses the ball polycap pointing downward from the upper torso with the hole end is in the lower torso, while most other modern HGs (The Gaeon in this case) uses the balljoint on the lower torso and the hole end in the upper torso. This way lets the builder attach the two torsos together without any serious modding.

>>15292604
We knew that already, because TRY was birthed from GBF.

>>15292658
Great, thanks for the info.

I'm guessing the legs are joined to a backpack on the bottom torso?

Think I'm just gonna stick to MG's for the Wing kits. This HG 1/100 has some very iffy joints, so it's prob gonna require a stand. That and the color inaccuracy.

Those old 1/100's haven't aged spectacularly.

I bought the Neo Zeong 2 years ago. I built the Sinanju it came with, but you'd better believe that fucker is still in the box. Very daunting.

Just sell it or give it away, man. You're a disgrace.

Gundam 0 head, Dahack chest and shoulders, Cherudim/Arios arms, 00 Seven Swords Legs and Montero's weapon

>>15293031
I Like it but I could use a little bit more bulk of my opinion. And maybe the head should be different than just a Gundam without the v fin

>>15293031
>>15293039
>Taking out the V-fin at all
>Taking out the V-fin and not sealing the gap
You sicken me, but otherwise it's not bad. the normal 00 legs might be better than the 7swords since you're not using them to hold weapons.

>>15293031
>>15293039
i like it, but you should really do something about the head. either maybe cover it up with a mask, or add something to the head so it doesnt look like gundam without a v-fin

>>15292214
Fifth place? Didn't expect to get any higher. Thanks to those who voted.

This is an alternate head that I quite like but don't like posting because I literally just glued random parts to make it (back of exia's head for the "visor" and a beam saber handle for the "horn"). Sometimes I change the chest for 0 Gundam's chest but the shoulders end up looking too small in comparison.
>>15293043
The plight of a kitbasher with little to no other skills :(. I change out a lot of parts so I'm a little hesitant to cover the hole incase I want to use the V-fin for another kit. I agree that it's distracting though and its why the first pic >>15293031 was angled to hide it

>>15293067

Personally I love the lean appearance of it and think you shouldn't change a thing. I don't like that alt head, it looks too bulky and monstrous. I would save it for something else like a Dom kitbash.

>>15293067
If you're stuck coming up with ideas and you just want to do kitbashing, then Gundam Breaker 3 is good since you can get an idea for how well the kits would mesh.

>>15293039
I love this

>>15293067
I think the head is a big improvement. cleanup it a bit and add a little paint and it would look perfect

Tried to bulk it up using the Jahannam shoulders but they barely fit making it almost impossible to post
>>15293091
Thanks! 90% of my enjoyment of gunpla comes from kitbashing but I have no one to share it with :(
>>15293119
One day I'll try my hand at painting, would really open up the options. Right now I'm forced to kitbash using parts of the same color

>>15293135

I think you should just leave it like in here >>15293039. That looks perfect to me. It looks really lithe and agile and fast. When you change the head, the new head doesn't really fit and the shoulders are too big now. Don't be that guy who has the perfect marshmallows and then throws them back on the fire because he thinks they're not done enough.

Yeah I'll probably stick to that, at the very least because it doesn't fall apart when I try to pose it. It was fun trying out the suggestions though, never know what will work until I try!

Bonus old "spider tank" kitbash

>>15292871
What do you expect from a 20 year old kit?

Also my MG Tallgeese 2 is on a stand, shit has horrible balance.

>>15293170
Having only just started building, I didn't expect it to be too different than the couple of modern kits I've already put together. At the very least I never expected paint to be required, but now I know.

I need a kit that really says corp sec. The GM and Jesta Cannon both come to mind, but what else can you guys recommend?

A Kampfer or Jahannam painted black would work pretty well. Maybe Dom too.
