Who /spacepack/ here?

>>11759807

I like it more than the atmospheric pac at least

>>11759807
purple reflector pack is better.

>>11759807
You know it.
Now I just need to actually get caught up on G-reco

>>11759807
It's coming. Eventually. I'm getting it almost just for the shield and to add that core fighter to my collection.

Since the stand connector is on the pack itself rather than in the G-self's crotch, I think we can do some pretty fun modding stuff with that backpack.

>>11759824
that and the NotHuckebeinBoxerFrame

>>11759824
Obviously
>>11759807
I spacepack, but I wonder if you can put the packs on the Arcane. They are both G's after all

High Torque Pack kit when?

>>11759833
>I wonder if you can put the packs on the Arcane
Can't in-universe, but I'm sure you can fit the ones that don't wrap around the G-Self just fine.

>>11759832
that thing was fucking stupid.

>no on-board weapons
>cant use handheld weapons
>armor in the wrong places
>engines pointed in the wrong direction
>does nothing but sit in the hanger then jump around on its own

why did they think this was a good idea? why do they keep slapping on new armor packs that they dont even know will work with no input from the pilot?

>hey there are 2 teams of airborne high mobility MS heading our way, better slap on a huge hulking armor pack with no ranged weapons
>oh btw it will take half an episode to calibrate and you'll need to get out to actually punch or kick things

kit unbought so fast.

>>11759833
>but I wonder if you can put the packs on the Arcane.
You could with a very minor bit of modding. The G-Self's rear torso has two parts: the inner part has 2 holes for the now standardized backpack attachments for GBF stuff, and another piece covers it up to give the G-Self it's single-slot attachment point. The G-Arcane has the standard 2 hole attachment point on part A1 12, so just place G-Self's back piece onto the Arcane (may need to shave off some of the sides), then attach the G-self specific backpacks on top of that.

>>11759855
Really? Thanks I didn't know that. I will definitely do that now though.

>>11759843
oh and the DBZ-tier fight scenes didnt help any either, even if they did look gorgeous.

>>11759843
I keep falling behind on G-Reco and Kamen Rider Drive, for some reason.
No problems keeping current with GBFT and ToQGer, though.

Firstly, wrong thread topic, but whatever

>why do they keep slapping on new armor packs that they dont even know will work with no input from the pilot?
Because they had been working on attaching the high torque pack before they knew wuxia were attacking. Remember, the Amerians are trying to figure out how these Rose of Hermes blueprints. While they need Bellri to test them, it's clear to the Amerians that Bellri's only there to spy on them, so as amicable as they treat each other, they're keeping their own interests in mind first.

>that thing was fucking stupid.
It tanked beam rifle shots. With no beam shield. In UC. That alone should tell you something.

>kit unbought so fast.
Well, there's no kit of it in future release schedules.

>>11759872
That looks sillier than the Core Fighter on the front of the G Armor.

>>11759879
G-Self has already been shown to deflect beams in a number of different ways on its own.

>>11759855
Different anon, but I just putting the Ez-ARMS on the GSelf and part of the back collar is in the way. Also putting the G-Self's rear torso on the Arcane doesn't go in all the way, but if you want to mod the parts then it should be able.

>>11759893
>it rotated the image

4chan pls

You should still be able to see what I'm talking about though.

>>11759886
only by application of its beam sabers, though, or through the reflector pack. The High Torque pack deflects beam rifle shots straight on its (photon?) armor.

Same anon.

Actually you don't need anything special to mount the Atmospheric backpack on the Arcane.

>>11759914
The tab holes do look similar, but are they the same? I wouldn't put it past them to make the dimensions slightly different.

>>11758995
There is really little comparison between the Technique Impossible
EVAs and the PG. The Technique Impossible Eva kits are perhaps the
most complicated and sophisticated models ever made, even moreso than any Gundam PG. The TI EVA kits
feature an entire internal armature of a complexity I have never seen
before in a for sale kit. As an example I believe there are something
like 50 pieces used for the construction of the spine/neck alone. The
internal structure has clavicles, a multiply ball jointed spine with
a limiter built in to keep the torso from twisting too far without
the appropriate downward bend to the spine.

Over all of this you than add a latex rubber skin, and then affix the
armor over the skin.

Visually, the most notable difference between the two kits are the
fact that the TI kits are a bit smaller than the PG, and more
strikingly you notice that while the PG is based on the static line
art, the TI kits are based on the lankier "angry" EVAs as they appear
in combat in the anime.

All in all, The Technique Impossible EVA kits are by far the most
complicated and technically impressive models I have ever seen
outside of a stop-motion armature. Back when I liked EVA, I started
building one of them (I bought them all as well as the PG), and never
completed it due to getting fed up with the series before finishing
the monster.

Good luck finding one for a reasonable price though.

>>11760064
Really easy build, but only got two "real" poses, crouching and sniping high, or walking with the sniper low.

>>11760121
That's a little disappointing. But the crouching snipe is still a nice pose.

One more question. Is the gimmick knee specific to the zaku 1 leg, or could I pop it on any old zaku? I'm planning a kit bash.

>>11760110
Bummer.

>>11760148
The gimmick is part of the leg articulation, and pop up outside via a hole on the knee.

Been working on this guy and its quite a lot of fun. It's good to get back to the glorious MG inner frame.

Really can't wait to finish the strike pack and slap it on along with the edgie 9000 arm blade weapons.

Mfw light reflection looks like nubs.

On that note, the nubs aren't so bad but still need some work. I messed up and sliced my finger but just more blood for the Gunpla gods.

I know the feeling man. Not from pla per se, but I show my music to people when I absolutely hate the version of whatever song I'm playing, and most of the time they're like "It sounds good man." Familiarity leads to contempt, and we're not completely intimate with your Stamens and Zetas and what not.

Has anyone here tried liquid masking? Cause I would rather paint the gold on my sinanju then use stickers and I think liquid mask might be way to go.

>>11760544
Man, just use a thin brush and clean off the excess with a q-tip. People make this way more elaborate than it should be.

>>11760544
Do a reverse wash. Paint the piece gold then do a enamel wash over the piece in blade to paint the recessed areas, then use a qtip wetter with enamel thinner to scrub off any excess enamel. Obviously put on a lacquer clear coat between the gold and black wash.

>>11760575

amidoinitrite?

>>11760595
NO. You're meant to attach the legs to the potato, not WITH the pelvis.

>>11760591
Highly highly recommended. It can pull off the layer beneath when you remove the mask otherwise. Never had it happen to me on a big scale, primer really helps keep the masked paint down.

Also go find something which can thin the liquid mask you wish to use. Getting a favourite paintbrush all globbed up is just saddening.

>>11760601
dm legs are ball joint, so they dont fit, i can remove the beargguy leg joint and put the dm one but it was just for fun so i dont want to dismantle it

>>11760602
Thanks for the tip.

Either I am just shit with masking tape, or I keep getting shit masking tape. Even with pressing edges down with finger nails and what not, things still seep. Worse with hand paint, still small seeps with spray. I mean it's down to the awkward surfaces, but I'd hardly need to mask if the surface was easy to work with...

That's one of the reasons why I really liked anon's Ex-S entry with the two tone blue.

3 HG destroy with headstand
4 RG Destiny

okay new topic:
Do any of you guys get model burnout? I've been doing this shit for a decade and still like it, but every once in a while I need like a one or two month break before I get in the mood to build gunpla.

>>11761508
Yes. I'm just now recovering from a burnout and am getting ready to paint something again tonight.

>>11761508
I got model burnout in between body parts of an MG recently. I'd just finished building 6 HGs though, I probably should've taken a break.

>>11761508

I'm burned out bad right now, life shit and too many projects going at once, I have to finish something after this coming weekend is over

>>11761508
I'm a newfag to model kits, but I get burned out on video games pretty easily. I have Pokemon right next to me but I can't really be bothered to play it. I tend to get bursts where I play for hours on end without breaks; I didn't even consider playing through MGS2+3 until I had that feeling that I could play through in one or two play sessions.

>>11761538
I get that with extensive builds. If I spend too much time in a session, I generally put it off to the side for later.

Though tonight... Tonight I get to start on Shin Matsu's Hi-Mo Zaku 2.0. Stoked.

You'd be surprised. There are quite a few who post in both threads pretty regularly. Overall /m/ does have more snapfitters, but that's more because they have more people new to the hobby and more posters in general. And overall the skill on this board has been improving and catching up to /toy/, where the shitposting has also become far less than it was a year ago.

Stop this board war crap, it has no purpose other than stirring up shit.

Pretty much just doven wold arms and torso slapped onto a zaku III custom, with the barrels on most of the guns replaced with pieces of runner and a scratch built waist to make the parts fit together. There's a couple other small things but that's the general gist of it.

>>11761633

The guy is full of crap. I post snapfit stuff on /toy/ all the time and don't get shit on for it unless I forget a nub in a really obvious spot (And /m/ will point that out too). And plenty of people post simple topcoated straight builds pretty regularly as well with no issue.

Kind of, you need to mod several of the pegs (Shoulders and bicep mostly) and scratchbuild part of the waist to make it compatable and raise it up a bit to clear the megaparticle cannons, but after that its mostly just fixing seams and filling gaps.

>>11761665
Of the sleeves markings? No, I didn't bother taking pics of that since I just filed and sanded them off then primed over them with no issues. Was pretty simple.

That doesn't mean shit, once a pic of mine got made a OP pic and it was just two OOB zeon kits brofisting over a box.
Just that.
No panel lining, no paint, no top coat, no mods.

OP pic means shit, it's just something somebody from the general made so to keep continuity between threads.

>>11761674
He was saying that ANT has posted on /toy/ and made the OP pic there with a mostly topcoated straightbuild before with no problems. He was even complimented in that thread for the nice job he did.

There really isn't much difference between the boards other than number of posters really.

How about we just post our builds and don't care about what anyone says otherwise. This isn't GBWC. So long as your not posting Red Cliff I could hardly give a damn about quality unless you ask how to improve.

Give it a shot. I was terrified of fucking up on some of my first customs, but sheets of plastic aren't really that hard to work with. Modding is basically just glueing stuff to other stuff, filling gaps/uneven parts with putty, and then lots and lots of sanding.

>>11761749
I knew I'd someday have to use sandpaper. No time like the present.

>>11761762
Sanding is easy as fuck

>>11761762
How have you not sanded things before if you're at this stage, may I ask? It is one of those basics taught along with "don't cut too close to the part or you risk gouging".

Are you a hobby knife god at clean cuttings?

To the anon who wanted to see a Mega Ride Launcher on a Hazel, I just bought a Hazel Custom. Both items should come in at around the same time, Christmas-ish.

I'm calling it the Hazel Cannon.

Aaaaand I've lost my file. Searched the whole damn room and I can't find it. Guess I'll throw one in with my next batch of gunpla.

>>11761922
Might as well ask, anything particularly recommended that I can throw in from HLJ or something?

>>11761932
I just bought their three pack. Has served me fine.

>>11761932
For the stuff like files, I class them to the likes of sandpaper. eBay ones that don't look like they'll break and you should be fine. They're not for finer for so it should be okay if it isn't pristine branded.

>>11762017
Unless you don't care about resale/collector's value, go nuts.

Alternatively, buy an RG/MG and unleash your lining desires there.

The fuck? So uh. Requester here. I just honestly wanted an album of ANTs builds. I appreciate the cleanliness. I also mostly just wanted the stamen/nu

>>11762058
Nice ruse, faggot. I uploaded wallpaper ver of each build, if that is your thing. I did it to satisfy my autism before three of them didn't have it.

So what's the latest thing that made you go "What the fuck?" For me it's the Banshee Norn I just built. 4 beam saber handles, 0 beam saber blades. I mean I have spares, but seriously, they can't cost that much to add.

Will sanding the top coat off cleaning remove it? I want to remove some nubs kits I had done when I was a beginner. Might paint them as well.

>>11762101
>nu ver ka is insanely well engineered
>yellow chest vents are two simple solid pieces that you have to panel line

>>11762130
I can't into your sentence but I'll just say some general things:

1. Sanding top coat will remove it
2. It's pretty easy to re apply the top coat
3. Sanded parts look top coated

>>11762124
its funny too cause the kit came out in 2012 and it feels so outdated with those shitty joints.

>>11762101
HG G-self's arm. Its arm has a full inner frame, which is fantastic, but its humerus bone/frame is at a back-bent angle to the radius/ulna. It's the armor on top that forces it into a 90-degree bend, and that can be fairly easily rectified.

It's like the suit gains flexibility/mobility as it loses more and more of its photon armor...

>>11762154
Sorry I just woke up for a nap. But thanks for the answer.

>>11762159
Wait really? It was from 2012? That's weird because it really does feel dated. I thought it was one of the earlier HGs.

>>11762143
It's more of a punch in the face when they've gone through all that trouble and tech just to hollow out the vents in the face, but not the larger chest vents.

>>11762130

stripping is almost always better than sanding if you are completely removing paint of whatever kind. This is only true if you test pieces and make sure you know how your parts will react, but it's much less labor intensive and you don't run the risk of rounding off parts or killing details.

>>11762180
I was more confused than mad about it
I guess it was because of the led gimmick and not wanting it to shine through the vents
honestly I wish they had not done the psychoframe and had just dedicated more effort to the rest of the kit

>>11762175
>Part separation on not only the chest vents, but the head vents too.
>Seam lines well hidden for the most part and the only really obvious ones are on the back of the forearms where there is no place to hide them.

>Separate clear piece for forehead sniping camera
>Multiple different hands for posing that use a peg to secure the weapon to them on the trigger finger ones
>"Feels dated" because they didn't give it double jointed elbows

You guys sound spoiled on modern kits. GM Sniper II is a pretty damn nice kit all around.

>>11762210
I didn't say it feels ancient or anything, just that it feels dated. The lack of articulation on the elbows on this kind of kit REALLY hurts it. It'd be like if the God or Shining Gundams didn't have well articulated limbs.

Overall it is a nice kit, just those elbows are killin me. I might have to pick up a second just to custom mod those elbows to give them more articulation and make it so it can do the cover-art pose.

But on the cover art its elbows are only bent at 90 degrees.

>>11762239

More like its closer to a traditional scifi plamo.

Looks like a regular model to me.

>>11762240
Most HGUC don't include a left handed trigger hand.

>>11762126
KV-2's are love and king of derps.

>>11762245
That's not a possible pose however. The arms can't bring themselves that close to the head. The upper arm there is clearly shorter than it is in reality.

Also the waist has very little articulation so I'd have to modify that too.

>>11762256

>>11762286
I wonder if it'd be possible to modify it to use double-jointed elbows from the other GM kits.

>>11762280
>>11762286
Yea, this is the pose mine is in currently.

It just needs a bit more articulation so I can bring the sniper rifle up to the the eye and articulate the neck and waist a bit more.

>>11762329
Except for the snapfit part.

Oi... why does it have to be so busy today? You think ringing up people and informing them to order in advance since we're moving and will be closed would have helped. Instead, they ignore it and place "urgent" orders. Fml.

>>11762444
But that's how the kit is. Because it has such a high chest, it looks all the more derpy when looking straight or worse, up because the neck isn't all that pretty. That shot is only about 90% chin down, as well as being shot from lower than chest level looking up to suggest scale.

The only instances where whole head looks good is side turn or Gundam Evolve Omega cover/MG Z3 cover pose. Other than that, it's hard not to have chin down in stand-by pose.

And I like head down poses. It's just more prominent on the Z3 because of the way its designed.

Building the Blue Destiny Unit 1 right now and I gotta say, I really wish it had red and blue colored thrusters. The stickers are... sad to say the least.

But everything else thus far is really great. I know there's a BD unit 2 but is there a BD unit 3?

Gundam F91. I love the F91 but I don't know what was wrong with me that day and I fucked up the kit really bad to the point where when I was done it pained me to look at it. So I just bent it apart with my hands.

Red Cliff?

>>11762615
Is it one of the nub monsters? Or was it one of the horribly painted kits? Did you nail the poor Zaku? Did you explode that GM?

>>11762615
You threw it out the window a la rrobbert184?

GM firework?

You can get good stuff under 100 easily, I got mine for less than 80 buck, Fujifilm JX650

My personal recommendation, pick semi-analog camera with mechanical zooming lens.

speaking of robert, he's been giga-ded, but he's been doing lots of written reviews on hlj's site. too bad it's so disorganized that you can't really get to them all.

vegeta came back, so that's neat I guess.

it prompts you to put some actual effort on it, can't wait for mine to arrive along the mg nu gundam

I started to work in the hg double X, but I have to get my hands on some third party holographic stickers for the panels, so it won't be done anytime soon

>but keeping it around makes me sick.
At least tell us what kit it is.

What can I use as a substitute for a cutting mat?

>>11762608
I practiced painting on it, and am using it to practice modifying parts.

I was it in the store and thought "yeah, no, I don't care if I fuck this up. It's only $15".

As far as I'm concerned it's destroyed, if I do anything useful with it in going to turn it into a red cliff... And keep cutting up parts of it.

>>11762644
it would very much give it away, but I can hint that it's from Gundam Wing.

or maybe it's not.

>>11762647

I use an old towel.

>being this attention starved

>>11762647
Me personally I use a kitchenaid cutting board that was cheap, but cutting mats are usually the best way to go

>>11762653
I just don't want to ruin the background for a certain image. Sorry if that makes you upset.

>>11762678
Either you are horribly attention starved or you didn't make anything.

>>11762686
Would you admit if you made red cliff?

>>11762678
Question, have you sent an email requesting a gunpla? If so which one?

>>11762692
Some of us has made worse.

>>11762695

Have you?

>>11762704
>he missed when everyone including him called it Nu Cliff

>>11762695
This. Most of us have something that's shameful. However we're not all attention whores about it going "Oh yea, well I made a thing. What thing? I won't say! GUESS FOR MY AMUSEMENT!"

Back to actually Gunpla related though, does the 00 Seven Sword use 4 LEDs? And if so can I wire them all together or do I have to turn each one on and off manually? Also is there a visible switch that's easily accessible? Lastly, if I can wire them together, has anyone ever wired them all to a single action base that plugs into the wall?

>>11762694
I have yes. It was for a custom.
>>11762686
I'm just replying to posts that like 12 people will see. I made one comment and people started responding, is that my fault? This clearly isn't about attention. I just know that if I spoiled it here, it would get out else where. And that's not very fun. Just ignore it.

>>11762712
Also I realize the irony of calling shit on attention whoring and then using a trip.

>>11762718
You're on anon. It's not going to "get out" no one will know it was you. You're anonymous, that's the whole point.

>>11762705
Explain

Building the lightning saix as my first HMM kit

I would build multiple different parts, and put them aside to not be used for another 2 pages in the guide.

It just seemed like an odd order to do things

Building the tertiary accents and structure first, then putting it aside

And then building the primary structure and sticking all the other already built stuff on it

old pic but still wIP, I'm a slow builder
