My advice would be practice by cutting up extra backing paper for waterslides into small "Katoki-warning-label" sized bits, and then move them onto a dummy model.

It definitely took me awhile (cut my decaling speed in half easily) when I first got them, as I'd been doing waterslides since I was 8.
After I did some practice (and used up most of my extra warning/caution markings) I had basically retrained my muscles to work with the new system.

give it to me straight doc.
Will I be able to fit a HG, a MG and an action base into SAL?

>>11745001
Nope. Most places won't even allow for 1 MG + AB in a SAL box.
Depends on the MG Box, some of the older MG boxes are "smaller" than the new standard which is wide flat boxes instead of tall skinny ones.

Typically you can only do 2 to 3 HG boxes for a SAL shipment depending on how small the HG boxes are.

>>11745059
Nice. I've always loved the Destiny. Already have the MG one and I plan to get the RG sometime next month.

You could always try to tighten the joints around the arm so it can hold the sword better.

So.....how does tallgeese III shoulders sound on Sinanju?

In my head it sounds good, but I don't know. Tallgeese III head though, that's gotta look good on Sinanju body

>>11745116
You would need to use the 1/100 tallgeese parts on the 1/144 sinanju. Otherwise the 1/144 TG ones parts are way too small proportionally.

They decided to do a weird thing with MG F91, Crossbone, and Turn A where they don't have polycaps at all. It lead to the whole thing being really loose and wobbly.

Or at least the Turn A is. Can't speak for the F91 and the Crossbone since I don't have them.

You can fix this problem with some Pledge Future, but OOB, yeah.

F91 and Crossbone are also really small. I think MG Crossbone Full Cloth is about the same size as HG Sinanju?

These aren't the breasts I was promised

I have a display shelf that can take around half a dozen gunpla.

At the moment, my plans are to have RX-78-2 vs Char's Zaku, and Unicorn vs Sinanju.

What should I have for the other pair? My first idea was Exia vs Graham's Flag Custom, but that's not very dramatic.

>>11745696
I have six ordered, I want an army.

>>11745703
But there are. 4 of them infact.

>>11745704
Wait for MG Dark Matter and have it fighting the Build Strike.

>>11745696

So many of them.

I want to stick the Masurao's head fins on one and paint it black and red, to make Mocksurao.

>>11745703
anta baka? no one promised you anything

>>11745696
Too silly looking for my tastes, so no.

>>11745713

I should clarify, RX and Char's Zaku are MG, the rest are gonna be HGs. I guess I could do Dark Matter vs Build Strike then...

>>11745704

Turn A vs Turn X is the correct answer.

>>11745724

If there was ever a HG of that, I'd mod it to have beam skates, a beam hockey stick, and a purgeable set of react armor Goalie Pads.

So, in summary, a full armor Goalie mode for tanking hits and a high mobility Player mode with brutal cross checks and beam puck slapshots.

Canadians are nice and all... until you put ice skates on them and a hockey stick in their hands.

>>11746094
What we have had so far has been complete shit, so.

>>11745857
Your weathering doesn't look like weathering so much as just dirt, like a dog rolling around in the mud. When doing weathering, you need to think of the cause of each piece of weathering and to what extent. Water streaks for aquatic suits. Mud on the feet for ground suits. Laser burns on shields, and so on. That weathering is just too uniform and sloppy.

>>11746087

/m/ liked the Lightning Gundam more than the Build Burning when they were both revealed. /m/ didn't like Build Burning until after the first episode aired when they saw it in action for the first time.

The only opinion that hasn't largely changed is Winning Gundam.

>>11746295
I think that's mainly because in anime the Lightning is more of a white color. In kit it's a minty blue.
Also having to buy the BWS separately is a bit of a kick in the face.

I still haven't built my MG

A weirdly specific question:

Other than an RX-78-2 or any Zaku IIs, which MGUC has the most accessories?

>>11746802
Full Armor Unicorn

>>11746811

I feel like a complete dick shifting the goalposts, but any particular notables from OYW-era?

>>11746817
kampfer

>>11746817
Kampfer for sure
2x bazookas
2x shotguns
and the chain mine

>>11746827
>>11746829

And being the dick I am, the goalposts continue moving: I already have the HG Kampfer.

>>11746720
It was on sale on a site I know yesterday for 33 € cos black friday, sometimes I hate being poor. :(

>>11746817
My guess would be Kampfer. Shotty x2, Bazooka x2, Stram Faust x2, beam saber x2, chain mine x1

Might be some other that has more stuff but the Kampfer is pretty loaded

>>11746720
It's natural to get a boner for seeing suits belonging to the same pilot together.

Right?

>>11746837
No OYW suit has more dakka than the kampfer. And if you already have the HG you are better off, because the MG is old and busted.


Time to tear the goalpost down.

>>11746862

RIP the goalposts.

I guess my self-imposed task of collecting the HGs of every Zeonic OYW suit carries on. Next in line is the Rick Dom.

I was just asking about the MG f91 in here a couple threads ago and no one really had any complaints. I know about it being without polycaps but it didn't sound like it was that big of a problem.

Anyone here actually own this thing?

>>11746817

The GM Quel, GM Custom, GM Type C (Space or Earth Type), Gundam Ground Type, GM Sniper, GM Ground Type, Dom & honorable mention to the Rick Dom.

All of those have 2-3 guns + 2 beam sabers and some cool gimmicks. Except for the Rick Dom who only has 2 guns & a beam saber, but it also has the coolest accessory, the giant Beam Bazooka.

ye

>>11746884
It's a perfectly fine kit. Being ABS on ABS joints means continued re-posing over time will take it's toll but it's stable, fairly solid (feels a bit weak because it's so thin & small but it's really not), has a solid number of accessories, gimmicks that work flawlessly, and great articulation.

The only two complaints I have about the kit are with the F91 Harrison Custom, as it has to use an abundance of yellow stickers to make up for a lack of color, and doesn't come with the stand.

>>11746862
There's always the Model GoGo Kampfer Kai kit, it's expensive, but based on a Zaku 2.0 frame, a well needed update, even if it's a third party kit

>>11746087
No, that was build burning

>>11745518
The Alex is a terrible MG, even by early standards. The heels would warp putward on me, and horrible proportions. Why it hasn't gotten a 2.0 is beyond me.

>>11746428
Fuck, that looks like rock candy and I want to eat it

I love rock candy

>>11746944

Ironically, both it and the Kampfer suffer the same problem. Their HGs are miles better than their MGs.

>>11746944
Because dirty zeeks are always all like OH MUH BURGER and Christina gets shafted.

I like Bernie, by the way. But Christina does not get enough love and thus the Alex.

>>11746959
Well shit. I was really hoping for the MG to be decent.

Guess I'll have to kit-bash an MG RX-78 with the MG Alex to create a decent MG Alex.

Thanks guys

I actually have the HG Harrison but its sitting in my backlog until I learn to paint, cause those yellow stickers are rough. And this MG looks beautiful

Does anyone have any tips for cleaner looking decals? I've been decaling Char's Zaku MG and they just don't look quite right.

So I tried airbrushing an action base just to get the hang of it
When the piece gets covered by too much paint it's because I am pulling too much or I am airbrushing too close?

>>11747004

Six of one.

Better to have too little paint on a piece than too much. Back up and ease off.

>>11746999
Use waterslides they usually look better, but first watch a video about how to put them and the various solvent you need to use, that helps a lot.

>>11746999
For Peel & Stick decals or Dry Transfers, there's not much you can do but hope you get the application right the first time.

For anything Peel & Stick, I use a 3M Nylon Spudger to flatten them out some and help remove any air bubbles.

If it's waterslides, then you'll want to get some decal setting & softening solutions to help them mold better to your paint or plastic, so they look like they're one with the armor.

For Peel & Stick or Waterslides, sometimes trimming down the excess on the edges can go a long way.

Cut around the sticker on the sticker sheet with a knife, leaving the and line it up to where it's supposed to be placed. If it looks too big, you can trim it down the finally peel and stick when you're happy with the size.

Spiegel HG. The current Spiegel MG is just fine IMO. Could use some accessories but otherwise it's fine.

>>11747004
You have to make sure to airbrush in quick movements that are a fair distance away from your subject. That way you can't cover it with too much paint and you can build up from that to reach the level that you want.

Brother?

Aren't most of those kits almost ten years old, hence kinda shit?

Has anyone actually bought from Banzai Hobby before? Their site seems messed up and the search completely broken.

>>11747593
The Dom holds up fine for sure

>>11747593
The Dom is pretty much the beginning of the "2.0" style as it has almost a full inner frame, individually articulated fingers with a peg system for the hands, moveable mono-eye, etc.

Besides a few ugly seams on the weapons and the fact that the hands are technically not compatible with 2.0 weapons, the DOM is a very solid kit.

As for the GMs, they're not bad but they're also not complicated. They all have minor small problems with some joints being a tad loose, or holding the gun not being as easy as it should be, but those are all easily fixed.
The proportions, molded detail, etc are all still very solid.

I would say that any MG previous to the Dom should be avoided unless you want that goofy looking Zaku I.

As for kits after the Dom, some are still solid and others have 2.0s or VerKAs that I would choose over them.

For those that don't, the only really bad ones I can think about are the G04/G05, Alex, ZZ / FAZZ, & Gun Cannon.

I will say that a few kits before the 2.0s are a bit lack luster but there is nothing terrible about them including the Rick Dias, Hyaku Shiki, & Hi-Zack.

Don't judge a kit by it's age as some more recent kits are just a nightmare to work with sometimes.

>>11747598

Banzai hobby is having a sale right now, but the shipping gets larger the more stuff you put in. Now, that's an obvious outcome, but I'm wondering if it's exactly worth it? Will it be cheaper to just purchase the kits from somewhere else?

I'm gonna tell you the same thing someone told me when I was in your shoes: Slow your fucking roll, homie.

You're going to start getting hooked on buying and collecting rather than building. You might start rushing kits to get through your backlog and the quality will suffer for it. You might look at your backlog and have so many things to pick from, that you choose nothing. At worst, you may end up like my friend who had a bad day and stopped caring about buying food - he just went for the quick satisfaction of buying a few more kits.
Try not to blow literally all of your money on kits. It's not good. "Plastic crack" is a fun joke when you're not broke.

>>11748612
>never, ever want paint to come off
that's dumb

you want the paint to come off when you want it to and not to come off when you don't want it to.

also, paint that -truly- doesn't come off uses chemicals that will kill you.

Master Gundam gettin shafted from the picture I see.

I tried, that was the only way to get everyone in and have their hand and face showing.

I'm going to rely this pose when my tablet charges up, it has a much better camera.

I dunno, only been to three stores that even carried gunpla, and Tatsu was the only one which I could call a gunpla store. I don't think there's been a time when I've gone and there hasn't been someone building something though.

Makes sense, although SF is so much of a hassle that it usually isn't really worth it. sorry for all of the off topic

Speaking of gunpla stores, I live in SoCal. There is a hobby shop called Robot 4 Less near where I currently live and I've been there once, but do you guys know of any others?

Anime King Inc. in Irvine. Not as big a selection as R4L, but in my experience they're more likely to have newer kits on the shelf.

>>11748922

>also, paint that -truly- doesn't come off uses chemicals that will kill you.
All paint uses chemicals that will kill you, but it will only kill you if you're dumb and don't take safety seriously.

340 yen from HobbySearch, Official Bandai ones.

There were many leftovers, and within them quite a few begging for "creative placements".

I places some small subtle ones on top of the GN condenser green stickers, so in hope they look okay below the clear acrylic.

Chinatown in LA? I'll check it out when I visit but I typically stay out of LA unless I need to do something specific. Thanks for the tip.
