SD Group Build

Rules:
Pick up an SD anything, plane, Gundam/other MS, whatever, if it's generally an SD it counts (so I hope to see someone do a D-Style). Obviously, per all group builds, you'll want to paint it.

Submissions:
Email it to [email protected]
USE AN ACTIVE EMAIL ADDRESS

Due Date: November 1st

Good news! A kind anon has purchased some prizes for the group build. He has decided to do a random drawing rather than judge them like I did in the previous group build. Winners will be contacted via email.

For those curious, I intend to start the secret Santa signups on October 1st.

Secret Santa

It's that time of year again. Just look at the form and fill it out. Signups last until December 1st, pairs go out in the days after that.

A few things:
-Use an active email, I don't want to be hounding you and then have to repair someone.
-Use your full address, I don't know every damn city and zip code in the US.


A new option, Cards Only. If you pick this you're assumed to be willing to ship international (it's a card after all). It doesn't have to be a handmade card, just something nice. Of course handmade is nicest, but not everyone has the skills for it.

I've built about 9 or 10 RGs and am interested in it simply due to the lack of "enemy" type suits.

Is it ever explained how the stats and abilities of gunpla battle works.
Like, are the performance based on the performance of the suits in fiction? What about shit that doesn't exist in established fiction?

>>5976785
main characters just apply a plot armor coating to their kits

>>5976785
Gunpla each have a base performance level and can vary in stats based on the design itself (and example given in the show is that beginning gundam is very quick and agile even oob). But the more you detail, paint, and put work into your gunpla the better its performance will be overall. Modifying and scratchbuilding can also augment and give new abilities on top of the performance boost.

What if it's painted like red cliff?

>>5976789

So besides the hobby aspect, what is they appeal on these? Are they a lot cheaper than regular action figures? Once one is build, are they fragile?
Would it be easier for someone looking to produce action figures to start with plastic models?

How far can I go with kit-bashing?
Can I take the arm armor from say, a Musha Gundam and slap it on a Graze that has the chest armor from, say, a GM Sniper II?

>>5977255
It can go as far as your skill to modify parts. Not all parts are compatible off the bat so that's something to mind.

Is that just a standard Gusion because you bought the 1/100 Gusion/Rebake kit and had a spare Barbatos frame or does it actually look unique?

>Cheering on our respective teams during the tournament, taking the piss at each other for teams/picks.
>Pickup games against Gunpla Chads or twats who pick on kids, humiliating bullies and shit.

Step 1. Find diameters of relevant mounting slots and pegs on the frame
2. Use rubber cement to temporarily mount pegs into the slots
3. Mark the ends of the slats and pegs and press the armor pieces in, and note where the impressions are.
4. Whittle the new pegs
5. Fit the new test pegholes and slot ends, etc
6. Mount armor pieces onto inner frame

And no mutilation of the inner frame happened.

>>5977274
The barbatos frame and gusion frame have some differences in where stuff like the armor pegs into the frame and the the joints and feet frame. In series they are supposed to be identical frames but bandai made some differences to gusions frame to get the Gusion -> Rebake gimmick to work.

You can modify the gusion and barbatos frames to get the parts to fit around them and glue them on though.

I've seen the gunpla threads. The majority of them are snapbuilds with flatcoat and a different gun while in the "Gunpla battle is real" threads they're either using just a grunt that they are magically top tier at battling with or they're using some super overloaded or edgy thing that they could probably lack the skills to build in real life.

The reason I like the GM for it is that I'd mark the sharp edges of the torso with gold. I do think that a black Guncannon with gold rings on the gun barrels might be interesting if I can figure out good compliments to the otherwise pure black paint scheme.
I'm game for any OYW Feddie suit really, the RX-78-2 excluded.

Goodnight friends. May our seams be well welded, our nubs safely clipped and whittled down, our paints thinned and our days and nights happy.

>marker to hid nubs
well that doesnt works since i can clearly see them.

>>5976022
Sorry for late reply:
RG Z'Gok is one of the more solid RG kits, mostly due to simplicity, but it does have couple of armor pieces that are on a loose side (can be plastic cemented if you like, since they have no impact on articulation, and they generally stay together if abit rough on figure). In terms of how well all pieces hold together, it's worse than: Exia, MkII, and Astray, but better than most RGs. It's not too light (weight wise) and posability is great (check dalong or another review site for this), weight has great distribution and the fatty limbs help with being able to pose comfortably even doing crazy two arm stands with no attachments. It feels like a complete improvement over the HG in every way.
If it proves anything, it's that the more simple grunt suits would make for amazing RG releases.

Ofcourse instead we get RG Shinanju (despite Bandai saying no Shinanjus or Unicorns because too fragile), which seems to fall apart as easily as the RG Seed Kits (as in Freedom and Strike Freedom and less Justice and Destiny). Sure it looks good, but I can just paint and modify my HG which will not have any pieces fall apart nor have any issue posing. The choice to use a tiny MkII frame is disgusting considering the size of this figure. I do like the tiny little detail with the inner beam-sabers and extra mobile parts that expand which HG lacks, but like I said: I can just make my own resin modifications if I really wanted it.

I remembered as a kid when they used to sell a special plated GP02 in a local toys r us.

>>5976886
Main question is what are you paying the bulk of the price for? Is it the Model or the Paint that comes with the model?

>>5977860
I remember when gunpla was popular enough to sell in TRU period. Thanks to Toonami

>>5977863
I think it's a paint kit from a motorcycle detailing company, not a model kit with the paint in it.

Has anyone received HG customize campaign parts E through H when ordering from HLJ? I've gotten 10 parts from them in total, and they're all A-D. It's a shame because I really wanted E, F and especially H, while I couldn't really care less for B or D.

>>5977896
Yeah, I have.

I'd kill for set C

>>5977879
>Toonami
Well it might jsut well come back to that popularity with the return of Toonami and the IBO getting a Toonami slot. Sure is nostalgic to see Gundam on Toonami again.

>>5977925
Nah man they're massive drop in view when it's IBO slot.

The super mini-pla Ideon hatsudou set is currently back up for preorder at amiami. No more discount, but that's how it is at all stores. These damn things sell out too quick. Well... I preordered like a doofus because I couldn't make up my mind when they were still around. It'll just go up in price like Xabungle did, so if you want him, I'd personally say just go for it.

Working on Qubeley revive version. I love how most of the pink or blue bits are molded seperately. I hate stickers with a passion. Unfortunately the shoulder binders and eyes are still stickers, so I decided to paint just those parts. I managed to match the pink pretty well, I think.
In this particular instance I found it easier to paint it directly on the runner, since it held the pieces together more securely. Since I'm not going to be painting the rest of it, priming wasn't an option anyway.

I kind of wanted to get back into doing some modelling, something cheap like Revell that I can get at my local supermarket for basically a tuppence. However I was wondering about paints. Are Revell paints any good? I don't want to buy an airbrush.

So are MG's really dead or is this just a slow year? Is the RG line replacing it?

>>5978890

GBFT+IBO kits and the fact that IBO got 1/144 and 1/100 are probably the real culprits IMO

There are only so many people to design and engineer kits, and there have been lots of new suits to create kits for

>>5978890
Mg isn't really dead just they shifted focus to P-Bandai for most of the releases in the MG Line, which many of us don't like. Fuck the P-Bandai for making the Heavy Arms EW into a P-bandai.

>>5978905
>>5978890
Forgot to mention we had 10 P-Bandai Master grades that aren't plated or clear vs the 3 Standard release we had for 20016.

>>5978890
No replacing no dead. Just forever slow.

>>5978890
I'm pretty sure IBO 1/100 are holding up the designers, since they're basically MG-lites.

>>5978890

>>5978903 this squares with >>5978905

The ident is there because I'm sick of seeing nice builds and being unable to find where they come from. It's not a name I use any where else or have any intention of doing so. But you're on a thread full of Tripfags and I'm sure you call them out on it all the time.

start working on something more complicated than a gundam, then when you get frustrated you'll want to work on the gundam again.

How do I make Super Fumina look less hideous?

>>5979405
speaking of which, i realized something, They were able to make a small version of the figure rise bust, when i look back to 1990 highgrades with the injection molding and how they can make multicolor injection on a small part up to several color seperations on one small piece, makes you wonder why Bandai didn't revisit that for the super fumina.

Finished up the arms and figured thats a good place to stop for the night.

Some of the placements of the gates and resulting nubs are pretty bad but thats what I get for being a snapfit shitter and not painting.

>>5979413
Super Fumina was a mess to begin with. Figma has proven the best way to do anime eyes is just decals on a flat surface with exchangeable faceplates for different faces/expressions. Even with the new Figurise busts relief sculpting looks off at times and contradicts the flat nature of (especially modern with two tone) anime artstyles.

It was a cheap attempt to cash in on waifushit, designed by guys who don't know how to design waifushit at all. Even professional sculptors frequently go with decal eyes for scale figures, not sure what sort of hubris led Bandai's modeling department to believe they could do better than guys who have dedicated themselves to sculpting statues of anime characters.

you're in luck there are a million pictures of it unpainted out there because they are bought by wing fan casuals who don't care about the model part at all

>>5980002
...paint the kit?

Are the models in the manuals hand painted or are they airbrushed?

>>5980002

Assuming painting has a difficulty of X based on your experience, this kit does nothing to add more difficulty. Like the hi-mock or many of the other origin kits, it's about as easy as it can get to learn because nearly everything separates nicely and has no seams. Maybe the hardest part is that the ball joints rub if you don't account for it.

>>5980059
Most likely airbrushed

>>5980059

they are absolutely airbrushed, sometimes with hand painted details or smaller sections, but usually all airbrush

Some of these kits have been scalped and sold on stores at ridiculous prices.
Some worth mentioning are the Gotaitei Sonken and Genbuso Ryofu Tallgeese which I'm getting.

I'm with this guy. There's something about the Jesta that just rubs me in all the right ways.

>>5980291
Oh shit, I hope the Mk-II will get a reprint.

>>5980303
Same! My collection needs one to go with the rest of my Mk-II models.

This inflicts me with both rage and joy. It is a complicated feeling.

>>5980387
I dont get it.

>>5980293
It's tacticool, I'm sure 90% of Jesta owners pose them with little camouflage net and paint them in camo.

absolutely this, the rifle is easily one of the most ridiculous things in gundam

>silencer in space at all
>magazine

just

>>5980472
Hey man magazines are perfectly reasonable.

>>5980474

does it come with any other mags? I haven't built one

>>5980477
I'm pretty sure the things on the underside of its right arm are supposed to be mags.

>>5980480

damn that is even more tacticool, especially because it's already lifting the weight of the mags with the arm at all times, they should have just made the mag on the gun 4x the size

OK, I may have gone overboard a bit

I like that the Jesta has a sub-arm shield instead of the shield being attached to the actual arm.

>>5980490
I don't know he looks pretty cool tho.

>>5980490

lacks cohesion, very ugly

I might spend a semester in Beijing next year, is it a good place to find gunpla? Or am I better off planning a trip to Hong Kong?

>>5980490

unlike the other guys who are just saying they don't like it, I will try to point out what I think is the issue

I think the elongated shoulders and the neck being too long for the head makes the whole thing feel very spindly, especially with the already thin waist of the IBO suits

>>5980569
Hit the nail on the head.

How's this? I've always been back and forth on which head to use. I like the big dumb mk 2 head though
