stop making new threads when it hits BUMP limit. since /m/ is really slow it can stay up for a little while after that. only when the IMAGE limit is reached can you make a new thread

How badly does the MG Psycho Zaku need painting? I feel like I'd have to properly shade it to satisfy my autism and it's a really expensive kit.

/toy/'s gpg is currently doing a FA and FAG groupbuild, which runs until September.

I'm watching McGillis vs Iok and the Grazes painted in Carta's Blue/Red colors have shields. Were those ever released as part of a kit/options set or are they an anime-only thing that'd need to be scratchbuilt?

>>15718569
im not sure what scene that is, but is there any chance its the shields from option set 1?

>>15718669
Here's the (long) video, you get a good view of a charging Graze with the shield in the next few seconds.
https://youtu.be/xeySOHOoveM?t=22m35s
That shield looks like it MIGHT make a decent base for a scratchbuild, but the shape is a bit off and it's probably way too small.

>>15718569
>>15718687
No

There are a lot of things that won't get kits or option sets.

>>15718697
I wonder if it'd be reasonable to 3D Print. Would have to make a model for it, and then the question is how expensive of a printer you'd need to get satisfying fine detail on the shield.

Oh my.

>>15718738
They've gotta announce a new MG Wing Custom right?

>>15718738
does anybody on this entire planet like ""bird"" mode?
Why go out of your way to make a version of wing zero ew that includes it?
Also that's a high res model

>>15718687
oh that looks more like a tower shield variant. 3D printing would be pretty viable if you put some good work into it. When i get mine working i may want to try that.

>>15718760
The image is a GFF Metal Composite, it's not the High Res one.

>>15718687
it doesnt seem that hard to make, you just need to assume alot of the sizing and do the measurements yourself. it seems its 2 large plates connected to the graze shield here >>15718669
theres also that grey piece on the top that that looks like its sandwiched in the middle.
>>15718737
you probably need to research how fine of a detail the 3d printer can do

There are still a bunch of Graze kits we need.
Graze Schild (the one in discussion right now), the Regal Lily, and the Graze Stachel.

So it does have a name. Well i'll be dipped.

>>15718696
And now I want to make a Megaman Zero build.

>>15718760
It's dumb and serves no purpose, but I love Wing Zero EW's feathery space wings.

>>15718813
Yeah, they actually introduced it as a genuine variant. You could probably use Carta's Graze Ritter as a kit base, and with a few simple modifications (or as is, really) you could use the Gusion Halberd from Options Set 3. The shield is the biggest, hardest part of the kit and also the main draw because I'm a shield fanatic.
I mean I bought a MG Full Armor Gundam because it has FOUR (4) shields.

>>15718738
>Fix Figuration
eh

>>15718824
or really it just looks like a regular graze axe with a long handle and spiked tip, simple mods. the shield could be done with some simple plaplate is you know how i imagine

>>15718760
It's larger set of wings are meant to look like folded wings, so seeing them spread out like it's supposed to be a bird mid-flight looks wrong.

>>15718760
Yeah a lot of that Glory of Losers gear seemed kind of redundant in the case of Wing Zero. The EW version was already designed to compensate for the missing shield with it's wing shield, and all those extra components for the buster rifle just seemed to let it fire a beam everyone already thought the default TBR was capable of firing on it's own. It's like they retconned the TBR to be weaker then had the extra bits power it up to it's previous power shown in the TV series.

Really stupid idea, but would there be a good selection of kits for a Knights of the Round Table theme?

Knight-like suits? Gyan definitely instantly fits with the theme. And many other suits with some paint scheme/modding.

>>15718954
Might get the Gyan. I actually don't like the design at all but supposedly the newish HG is actually a really great kit and it does fit the theme.

There are several suits in AGE that's Woolf uses that fit alright with new weaponry. And Gundam Legilis. It even has a dragon to slay with Danazine.

I always felt the suits Athrun used in SEED felt noble, the Justice/Infinite Justice and Aegis.

00 has Gundam Throne Dwei, Gundam Arche and of course GN-X which can even come with a lance.

UC has I guess Palace Athene, Dreissen.

IBO models.

Better off getting the Gyancelot than the vanilla Gyan. It's a) more knight looking and b) has all the parts for the regular Gyan.

>>15718883
Well the ibo gundams fit it well, the kimaris type the most.

>>15718883

*block your path*

>>15718883
Ideally you'd take note of the differences in knight's personalities, weapons, and personalities. For example, Percival was the one who got back Excalibur, so he'd be a gundam that has a big fuckoff sword like an anti-ship sword from SEED, or Bors has superior speed, so he'd be something like F91 or late UC.

I'm just pulling shit about this from wikipedia here, you probably know more about this than I do.

I finally worked up the motivation to finish my GM Sniper II. It's been sitting half done for a month. Got the waist built and went to work on the legs only to break the part of the inner frame that connects the back heel on his foot to the rest of the frame. Whole thing is pretty much ruined now since I can't attach the heel on one of his legs. Really kills my motivation to work on other kits.

>>15722566
Can't you get some putty?

>>15722573
Probably. I don't really have much experience with putty. I'm not sure it would resolve the issue. I broke the part where the actual heel snaps in, the plastic is loose now and it won't hold on and just falls out. I'm not at home atm so I can't take a pic

>>15722937
Will do. I appreciate it. I haven't fucked up a kit in a while so this was annoying to say the least. And this is coming off of a month of no building anything. My depression has been pretty bad lately so working up the motivation to even work on gunpla is a chore in and of itself. Breaking the kit after finally working up the motivation to work on it also didn't help things. I don't even want to look at my backlog stack right now.

>>15721687
>>15722788
I think this is the first RE/100 to reach a level of quality where you could display it next to MGs and not have it look cheap and crappy in comparison. They finally got there.
kshatriya WHEN?

>>15723131
So why not just make a MG then instead of a RE/100?

>>15723139
the point of RE/100 is that its 1/100 scale kits for suits that are too huge, too complicated, too etc to be represented in master grade with a master grade quality full inner frame, to the point that if they did it would have to be the cost of a perfect grade and nobody would buy it.

>>15723095

>>15723139
because I do not want to pay for or fuck with a inner frame during construction, Just gimme the shit I am going to see when I display the kit.

why would someone pay extra for a complicated inner-frame you'll never see? as long as the outside looks good i'd be satisfied, and building is still more fun then pre-built

>>15723388
Because we pose dynamically so you would see the frame; or we're advanced modelers that need the frame exposed; or for other reasons like modding.

>Kits should have inner frames for REAL modelers like us.

Heh, all these arguments about how people should just buy completed figures or need bandai to hold their hand can be applied to you too since if you take it up a notch a REAL modeler should be able to scratchbuild or kitbash their own frame together.

We're all modelers here guys, I'm just glad we're getting modern pretty damn nice, big, high detail kits of stuff like hamahama and Djeh at all.

So I'm slooooooowly getting better with panel lining and sticker applying, so I'm thinking it's time to start using sprays, especially now that I have the room for it. I'm just hoping to ask some small questions not answered in the doc.

First, should I just use topcoats, or should I first spray the runners the colour from the guide (A light blue for the arm pieces of the GM Sniper II for example)?
Second, all the guides show the pieces assembled before they're sprayed, but can I save time by spraying the runners themselves?
Third, should panel lining be done before or after spraying?

>>15723244
>>15723315
Sounds like Re/100 are perfect for you then.

>>15723388
Its obvious that inner frames are there for better poseability. Inner frames help with weight balancing as well as making detailed armor pieces easy to connect to the model.

Its a sophisticated way of constructing a poseable model kit.

You're talking out your ass, no one is taking a pompous stance like that.

>>15723480
NEVER PAINT ON THE RUNNERS YOU MORON. The guide should have covered that. If not it should be simple thinking to find you that spraying on the runners wouldn't allow you to cement parts together easily and would leave bits not painted where you cut and sand nubs.

Panel lining has to be done after spraying paint, but for painting markers wont work as easy and will smudge. You need to do something called a "panel wash" where you thin down paint a lot and touch a brush to the panel lines to let gravity guide that paint along the line. It requires a gloss coat over the paint.

Cut model parts out -> Seam work to not have it look bad -> Painting -> Gloss -> Panel wash -> Final coating.

>>15723488
>Its obvious that inner frames are there for better poseability.

Posibility is determined by the joints and how their range of motioned is designed. There are toys and models that don't need "inner frames" and they have the same range of articulation as MGs with frames.

>>15723452
Stay butthurt and learn to type english better.

>>15723506
Inner frames allow for bending that actually looks natural, as well as neat gimmicks like knee armor separation.

Complaining about inner frames is like complaining about getting more cake.

>>15723523
When you hold them they also feel solid. The plastic doesn't have that flexibility you have with hollow parts. You can also tell because of the weight and inertia of the parts. Inner frames, even ones made of light plastic, make a model feel solid in your hands and less like a cheap plastic toy.

>>15723506
Inner frames are designed for their joints and range of motion.
>Inner frames WILL have a high range of articulation, toys and models CAN have a high range of articulation without an inner frame.
It seems you agree with me.

Would anyone be down to resin cast some parts that I've lost in moving?

Very slightly, by reducing and moving the fins on the rear legs.

There was some guy who modded the fins to go inside the leg when the legs bend so his Unicorn could get a near full 180 degree collapse of the knees. I think I saw it on hobbyfanatics ages ago but might've been posted to one of the blogs back then. Anyone remember or have pics?

>>15724259
In the long run, if you see yourself painting many models, an airbrush outweighs spray cans in costs and usability of techniques. With that in mind, test out with some spray cans or fully hand painting a model to see if you like the look of fully painted kits/can deal with doing that work.

Don't be scum.

>>15724395
No matter how you paint, you're applying layers and will want to prime parts so you have the desires white, grey, or black undertone for the part.

>>15724395
Primer is never needed, but if you're painting two different colored parts the same color than they'll look different without primer, and it will also scratch off much easier

>>15724474
Primer should always be used to protect plastic underneath. I can't think of a situation where I wouldn't use it.

God damn it.

>>15724395
the only time you wouldn't prime before painting is if you're only painting tiny details like head vulcans or a zaku's monoeye. Otherwise, you want to prime so it provides a layer that paint will stick more easily too, and also gives a uniform base coat.
I don't see why Vallejo primer wouldn't work with Mr Color.

>>15724474
unless your not painting at all it is needed it fills in defects in the plastic gives you a better surface for the paint to stick and not chip off and gives a even color for your paints not to be off color.

>>15724491
>>15724615
I'll clarify - you can totally apply paint to bare plastic, it's not a very good idea though for the reasons I gave, and if you're going to the trouble of painting using primer isn't much more work

RX-THE END was meant to be a sort of Chimera of a bunch of different ms and aesthetics from different series. Its got G gundam pistols and gundam heads, Gundam Age Vegan-like design, gundam 00 gn fangs and particle trail, gundam wing deathscythe binders and sandrock cloak, etc.

The ghost thing is basically a gundam unicorn fetus. In series it didn't even open up, it just absorbed beams and impaled people with its horn in surprise attacks.

He built it based off his former "Cruel Gundam" which was a hydra gundam with a bunch of parts kitbashed straight onto it from other gundams.

... So are they?

>>15724952
yes

Now that the thread's dying I really have to wonder why IS the cat in the tissue box the Gunperry?

>>15724893
I think they look cool, but only when
A) Done on the right kit and
B) When they're not done to excess

>>15724879
Thank you.
>>15724933
Good information. Yeah, the booklet says its concept derives from Deathscythe Hell and Devil Gundam.

>>15724952
Yes, the things that say STICKERS right there are waterslides.
Fucking hell gunpla builders can be dumb.

>>15724953
Thanks.
>>15725065
How rude. No need to be so impolite when someone is asking a simple question anon.

>>15725102
Anon you are asking some really REALLY stupid questions, ofcourse people are going to be impolite. You deserve it.

>>15725102
by yes i meant they are waterslides btw

>>15724856
I managed to get this half price from Hobby Link Japan recently. A great source of spare parts for kit bashing.

>>15725105
Again with the hostility. Calm down, this question isn't hurting you.
>>15725141
Thanks, I'm not so stupid as to not understand implications.

>>15725170
You should probably know they're not waterslides and >>15725141 is either an idiot or fucking with you.

>about 80% done with my last painting project
>lost all my steam, already starting on something new

First time I do something like this, I'm gonna end up with 10 almost done projects aren't I?

>>15725174
I know. Not even the original anon but I couldn't turn down the opportunity to fuck with an easily excited idiot.

I assume the kit itself isn't popular enough to have made the chinese make a knockoff frame so that you can build both?

I ended up getting the kit during a sale and now I sort of have an urge to build both of them. Whoever thought of the whole 1.5 kits in one box needs to get fired.

I feel my own intellect being drained away by your stupidity. So yes it is hurting me.

I'm trying to find a good way to pose a MG RX-78GP02A Physalis but the bastard is too sensitive. Sadly there isn't an action base that can support it. Is there anyway to do this or will I need to drill a hole or two to make it happen?

I'm still relatively new to all this (only have made about 4 kits so far 3 MG and 1 HG) and yet I'm still a bit cautious when it comes to making modifications and painting (and the damn Physalis needs to be painted.)

Anyone with the cutecube wondwort, what is the deal with the extra runner in the bag again? Do we use it instead of the one in the bags or was the bad runner already removed?

The Victory MGs have well done sticker placement

Which one /gpg/? The frame would be a metallic gunmetal.

>>15725476
left looks better

>>15725476
Right looks more natural. Left one looks like it's missing armor parts.

>>15725476

left is going to look kinda boring in paint, you need separate frame/body gray if you want to make that scheme.

>>15725476
I want that purple stuff.

>>15725476
right

I tried to stick closer to the Doven Wolf's original scheme with the first one, which has a dark grey on the torso/thigh armor pieces and a lighter grey for the frame. I don't think the dark grey goes very well with the red/blue though.

Finished building the Revive MK II last night, and really liked how it turned out. Need to get the Revive Hyaku Shiki, and Evolution Zeta next when I can.

>>15725344
Samuel decal literally just opened every box and tossed in the fixed runner. So the bad one wasn't removed.

>>15725595

don't use as dark of a gray, and it's really hard to use paint to show the differences between things like a regular grey paint and a metallic paint that might be the "same" level of gray. The metallic look can create contrast of its own in a way.

>>15725595
Doven Wolf's original colorscheme is shit and contrasts hard between the armor plating and the frame underneath it.

Any snap-builders (or nearly) order the cutecube Woundwort? Curious what you think of it.

This is basically modded hydra gundam from G-unit.
