Right now, nothing. I've got a Tristan coming that I'm excited for but I'm all bought up, meaning I don't need to buy anything because I bought everything I wanted that's been released up to this point. I'm looking forward to future HGUC releases and possible G reco releases if a movie does come out.

How did you do the inner frame, lots of masking? I'm about to paint my first 1/100 IBO kit but I'm not very confident in masking currently so I would love some advice if possible.

>>15706572
depends on which part you are talking about. most are separate parts that i just painted separately but iirc the only ones that needed masking were the leg pipings(?)

it can result in some problems but i typically paint before assembly

>>15706586

I believed some masking was needed on the arms as well but it seems like the part separation is better than I recalled.

But for the pipes on the legs, I assume you did the proper color on them and then masked the pipes only and did the normal frame color afterwards? It feels like the logical approach.

>>15706603
oh right, the golden part on the forearm, along with the pipe at the elbow (painted it gold and silver)

surprisingly, i did the opposite. painted it the frame's color then left the pipes unmasked. I usually do masking based on whichever is easiest to do. It hasn't happened yet but i do get a little worried about having color differences due to this way of painting & masking

>>15706548
>shitty 00 suits
You shut your whore mouth. Exia, 00, and QAN[T] are perfect.

>>15706548
RG 00 raiser is one of the best kits ever, period. the only flaw it has is that it's easy to assemble the GN drives wrong, and that's not even something wrong with the kit, the manual just doesn't emphasize what exactly you're supposed to do.

>>15706635
Because we really needed 3 releases of the same fucking suit in the RG line..

How would I go about topcoating a RG?
Normally I'd separate the limbs but with the way the inner frames are on the RGs I don't feel like that's a very good idea,
Should I just take the shoulders off, throw him on a stand in a T-pose kinda way and spray him, then do the shoulders?

You can take the arms and legs off the standard RG frames no problem. Just swivel the arms forward to expose the joint that you can separate, it won't cause any problems.

The Dreissen is pretty nice, the Halberd(?) it has could be more stable, I would have preferred if it had some kind of peg for it but you could see how it would limit poseability. Arm gimmick is a very simple peg system that is (ridiculously) tight. It stores the weapons nicely on the back, though.

As for the Doven Wolf the legs tend to sag when you pose it on an action base. Otherwise it's fantastic overall, just be careful with the antennas on the head. It's a remarkably solid kit standing on the ground, though.

If you ever wanted a Linkin Park gp01, buy immediately before they double in price

>>15706667
Cheers, the same should go for the Zeta, which is what I'm planning to topcoat, right? Just want to double check in-case I fuck up and hand grenade it.

I finally found an appropriate arm set for my current Franken-Build. The arms are made from 2 SD Neue Ziel droptanks, a Barzams thighs, some bit from a "The End" gundam (Knee, I think) and some hands from the Build Fighters Build Knuckles. Nice and lanky.

>>15706681
Oh god, I have no idea about the RG zeta. I know it has horribly flimsy non-standard hips, I don't know if you can even take the legs off that one. I imagine the arms work like normal, though.

A different look for the same thing. The Byalant already has a weird silhouette, and I wanted something more "slenderman" or scrawny. I buy model kits and gunpla on sale with no intention of building them properly, and mine them for parts.
It's more fun for me that way.

I can't decide where to put these skull faces I cast. I'm pretty set with the one on the knee but I was playing around with some other spots and can't decide if i like the closed mouth skull or the screaming one, or if I care to have one there at all. Alternatively where else could I put a skull if not on the benis?

Anyone have any experience with CanadianGundam?

Recommend me an airbrushing kit.
I'm currently painting an MG Gouf Custom via spray can, and while my blacks turned out fine. The Dark blue seems to be somewhat thick no matter how lightly I spray. (though this could just be because of its reflectiveness.)

In any case, I want to move onto greener pastures in the painting world, and spray painting is honestly a hassle.

>>15707639
I bought this one earlier this year. I think it works great. Iwata though I think is considered the best.

I personally have the Badger Patriot 105, great little starter brush. Can spray anything and has the option to slot in different needle/nozzle types to make it more for fine detail or large coverage.The company who makes it will assist with repairs if it gets damaged, only cost to you is initial shipping. It's pretty cheap too on Amazon.

Oh wow there's another New Yorker here?
I mostly get my kits from Chinatown.
Dashop has a huge selection but their prices can be too much sometimes. There's a smaller store in the first floor of Elizabeth center across the street with better prices. The guy lowers the prices even further if nobody buys the kits. That's where I usually get my kits from. I'm actually planning on going there this Sunday, I just hope the kits I've been wanting to buy aren't already sold by then.
Another shop opened up on the lower floor of Elizabeth Center that sells gunpla but I haven't really checked that place out yet.

There's also Midtown comics in Fulton street and Times Square. Times Square store has a bigger selection, and their prices are alright. Last that I can think of is Image Anime, they have a good selection of kits and even P bandai stuff, along with a wide selection of paints and other things. The guys working there (that aren't the old Asian owners) are really nice and helpful if you've got any gunpla related questions.

I'm glad they did. It gave them time to grow and learn through the RG line's every release.

Now, since they learn reusing frames for certain designs is bad with the Sinanju and with the hope of the Unicorn being this surprise miracle, we could actually have a good RG of the Nu, Hi-Nu, Sazabi, ZZ, and all the big boys.

Also, fuck you, the 00 RGs are some of the best in the line.

Tie in the kits so you can instantly unlock said mobile suit in the game.

Will it be readily available a year down the road from now or do I need to buy it now if I want one?

My local hobby store has a pretty rad selection of gunpla that rotates frequently. The box I got mine out of was like 11 bucks - A Gundam vs Zaku thing from the 08th MS team.

But uh, unless you really want 2 dirt cheap gunpla to use for a practice piece, the model is straight trash. Loose joints, basically nonexistent articulation, godawful color separation, flash on the mold, parts that don't stay on without glue, etc, etc. You really get what you pay for.

>>15709058
What is it that makes the paint so vivid and not the usual quality? And your brand of paint and topcoat used, please.

>>15708223
Its p bandai because they just stuck in new claws onto a really old hguc kit.

Do you realize how old the hguc zgok?

Didnt we all just complain about the hguc tristan being a massive waste?

Despite spraying with light coat, which worked fine for regular paint, the testors matte topcoat I used dried in weird splotches.
Will polishing with microfiber cloth remedy this hideous development?

I'd take pictures but I'm actually not home atm.

>>15707666
>>15707655
thanks mates, I'll just start with the master airbrush kit before getting into more pricey attachments.

>>15709102
The old HGUC Z'gok is actually a really solid kit considering the design of the arms and legs. It's nowhere near as bad as reusing the Alex and Zaku III kits for Twilight Axis.

>>15709101
I use either Gaianotes or Modo which generally have the same result. For the topcoat i use a spraycan instead of airbrush, mr super clear flat.

i'm not sure what you mean by it being vivid compared to the usual quality however.

MG Gouf Custom guy here, my inner frame paint idea is coming out better than expected!

>>15709115
I think he means it looks neat and clean.

I use acrylics because they're water based and safe, but lately I've been considering experimenting with some lacquers to try to get better and more durable results.

>>15709127
i think it might be about the level of control? i'm still using a basic airbrush and one of those tiny air compressors but after switching from spraycans my painting has almost always been like that.

Can't really give a detailed explanation because i just do it by instinct, sorry about that anon.

I mean, this is kinda obvious, but there are a bunch of idiots in this hobby; her included at times. What's really wrong with this?

I want to start kitbashing, but I don't want to buy a whole kit just because it has some really cool wrists, then let the rest of it go to waste. Any tips regarding this issue?

>>15709589
On the upper floor (The floor you enter in) there's a store in the back right corner of the store. It used to be downstairs but moved up after they renovated the place. There's also another new gunpla shop downstairs, turn left and go down the hall after taking the escalator and it'll be right there.

I can't say anything about the new one but the first one is my preferred place to buy gunpla due to the fair prices, even lower 'sale' prices, and the fact that he sells the summer campaign parts for only $3 when they're given out, which is nice since I don't see them sold in many places for non-shitty prices and I don't like ordering online just for the hopes of possibly getting the one or two I wanted.

>>15709625
Thanks, do you know if they stock Kotobukiya kits by any chance? Been looking to gift a buddy of mine a SRW kit and want to hold off buying online due to how long it takes to ship a lot of the times.

>>15709648
I can't say for sure, I never really look at anything in his shop outside of gunpla. I think the place called 'Dashop' across the street from Elizabeth Center has a better chance of having it since they have a much larger stock of different kinds of kits, although their prices are more expensive.

Almost done with the powerdoll. Going to weather it a bit more and give it some waterslides before I move onto making a small hangar for it. Need to get some 1/35 people though.

How do I build my kits to be sturdier?

Most of all the HGs that I've put together have parts that fall off super easy and it makes posing them super frustrating

Is there something i'm not doing when i'm snapping things together that makes them not as fragile?

>>15709786
If you're building old kits, use glue

>>15709786
Does it fall off, and it doesn't need to move or come off? Glue it
Does it fall off, but needs to move or come off? Apply a thin layer of glue to the contacting point and let it dry to give it a better surface to grip

quick question, how do you "clean" your kits. do i just soak my kit in water with a bit of dish soap? i know theres an ultrasonic cleaner, but thats out of reach at the moment.

Hey /m/aggots, I'm looking to buy a kit for the first time, I'm stuck between the standard Gundam marker kit and the hg stark jegan kit. I have a bunch of leftover paints and oils from my 40k days and I'm not sure if those are even compatible. If not I'm most likely just going to get the Gundam marker kit.

>>15709923
Citadel (if you were dumb enough to buy GW paint) is of course "compatible" with Gunpla, it's just paint.
You might want to get a Zaku II or RX-78-2 to practice assembly and painting on first. Still get the Stark Jegan, but RX-78-2 and Zaku II kits are cheap as fuck so you might as well grab one as a disposable practice kit.

The plastic quality is pretty good for a third party kit. No flash on mine and nothing felt brittle. The only downsides where the fact that most of the grey joints are polycaps. The arms are the biggest offender because all of the non-shoulder ones are polycaps and i didnt have the right type of koto joints to replace them before i sealed up the seams. Its too pricy and i'd say only get it if your going to seamline weld and paint it, oob the white is that grey white color they use for rgs

Does lacquer thinner brittle or melt plastic? I bought some from a local hardware store for cleaning brushes and other purposes. I'm testing the brand by soaking a piece in it.

>>15711028

That shit will basically melt. I think that's part of the point too, it's probably what lets the paint "bite" into the plastic.

>>15711030
The piece I soaked got soft in the extremes but brittle in the middle. Maybe I didn't soak it enough.

>>15711040

I guess getting "soft" is a more appropriate term, I did something similar and I was able to leave fingerprints in it etc. I just assumed it would melt if exposed more.

I'm currently doing the pg unicorn, those legs are a hell to do but i'm really satisfied with the results, if you want you can go for the leds or the full armor expansion, but i think the FA is kinda hard to find at a reasonable price.

>>15711421
I dunno about the Unicorn anon. Looks beaut and has a ton of presence but it's a shit to do anything with after a while. Mine can't hold up anything more than a beam saber after having it for about a year and a half and there are some bits to the transformation that do NOT feel good at all.

>>15711327
They could use S2 suits since the end of the original (hence Amazing Exia going full on Exia Repair).

I don't understand bandai sometimes.

What makes them think something this shitty and lazy is acceptable?
Who saw this, and said, "Yeah, this is good. Let's do this."

A new comic book/card game shop opened up in town, and it turns out they have some gunpla in there.
They had stuff like the GM thunderbolt for £30
They had old SEED HGs for £20
They were even selling one of the old 80's 1/144 MSVs for £15.
What a terrible time to be alive.

You know you want a Titan's version.

>>15711424
That's what I was thinking. no matter what kit I chose it's going right on my desk in my home office
>>15711449
yeah I haven't seen the full armor anywhere. I'm still not sure if I want the LED or not since I probably won't have him in destroyer mode.
>>15711475
see that's the stuff I wanted to hear from this. there aren't really any in depth reviews of the pg so i wasn't sure if it had problems or not.
>>15711612
Eh my job isn't really tiring. it's an engineering job where I'll have a lot of downtime but I'm encouraged to play around with the 3d printers and have been told I can build model kits and 3d print stuff for them at work as long as I take pictures for us to show customers.

>>15711643
The LEDs still show up in Unicorn mode. Check out Jabman's review on it.

Curious if anyone tried this but can the HGBF K9 Dog Pack attach to the GM Striker OOB without any modification? The instructions for Striker here looks like the back ports are similar if not same to the GM Sniper.

Yeah that kinda annoys me with the Unicorn, I see people singing its praise everywhere but I'm just sitting here trying and failing to get the shield to look natural because the arm just flops around. Hell the only time I've seen people acknowledge the floppiness is in an ama on leddit with the Dragon Momoko guy before they released their PG Unicorn.

I wish I could say something about other PG's, but my Mk.II is just sitting unmade waiting for shelfspace. I do know it apparently has the best frame of any PG though.

I never got through a full video because I can't stand their fucking crackly robot voice. Just WHY?!

>>15711587
Comic book stores are the worst place to buy gunpla. My first kit was a Seravee that I bought for nearly $40 from a local store when I was in middle school. That was like two months of saving up my allowance.

i have no issues with mine besides shield+beam gatlings on one arm droop a little but that was solved by tightening up the joint a little with super glue on the peg method.

worst part of the PG unicorn i have to say are the flipfloppy sidefoot panels due to them being on ball sockets for transformation, i wish they were static and rigid but that wouldn't work with how they are positioned in NTD mode.

oh and the hands, while they hold stuff fine, i painted them since if you look closely they're molded in two different colors, the blackish and the brownish. looks fucking stupid, they're just hands from the PG strike or astray don't remember which one, or if they're the same themselves. i wish they would redesign the PG hands to be like the new articulated MG hands. i know i've seen some complaints about them since they were released with the Nu ver ka but i've yet to run into any fucky issues with them and i find them superior in every way to static swappable hands, just don't hamhand them problem solved. DM's turd party copy of them are alright too, just a more rigid plastic, whereas Bandai's kinda feel like polycap type material.

>>15710830
Yeah, I've learned my lesson, never using this countries mail service again.

>>15710778
Damn that sucks, I got up early today to go in person. Looks like its still not here, but at least I know its at the state distribution center. They told me it should be there by Thursday too. At least the people there were nice.

>>15709985
I'm amused that Halloween colored Gundam is coming out in October.

>>15709992
On one hand it's retarded. On the other hand I actually want this kit so whatever.

>>15710078
My only issue with usagundam store is they use bubble mailers so you'd better pray the postal service doesn't decide to flatten your model.

they were touch up markers so i found uses for them around the house. the paint came out really thick and i had a blucliff after i finished. that's when i learned not to trust prime92. also her autismo rage fit at rrobbert

>>15712055

>>15712111
Don't start this again.

>>15711839
see I actually prefer swappable hands. like the fully articulating hands can really suck at gripping things. I honestly don't get why they don't just make both for the kits

>>15710889
Already have a grey one, no worries bby. I haven't built a gunpla since my Fag ver ka back in December. I'm excited to have enough income to start again

My RG GP01 is coming on Tuesday, any tips?
I've built 5 HGs before, so this isn't my first kit, but I want to do this right.

>>15712333
don't handle small parts in such a way that they'll drop on to the floor. There's going to be a lot of them.

Is there a more readily available matte topcoat spraypaint that i can purchase?
Kind of tired of waiting for cans to ship, plus there are no hobbyshops near me.

Why is this a bad thing? It should be much easier to find the pieces you drop on a hard floor.

>>15712533
yes exactly thats how big my fear is

>>15712575
Oh, I gotcha. I lost a faceplate in the carpet at a friend's house. I get why you'd be scared.

I always put the pieces into the lid when I'm not using them. Maybe you can try that.

>>15711116
Just build it in the box? Keep the runners that aren't being used and finished parts in one half and use the other half to build in.
