If a Z'Gok, which just got an RG, gets a revive before the GM, that's the biggest insult possible.

Anyone selling any gunpla?

>>13546780
Zeon sells, and the base GM design from the original series isn't the best looking thing in my opinion, other GM designs are good, just not that one. It's the flat crouch rather than the gundam crouch other GMs have.

>>13547002
It really depends on how well you like other Gundam. The first season isn't bad, and is a pretty good divergence from the usual plot after the terribleness that was GSD. The second season is much less tightly written (with very evident executive meddling) and retreats to more standard Gundam tropes at the cost of a lot of character development, which is unfortunate.

The movie's pretty in line with other Gundam movies: less action that you might otherwise expect, more world-building and presentation of science-fiction concepts.

All-in-all, it's okay to not too bad. Then again, I genuinely think G-Reco is 9/10 and the best anime since at least Turn A, so invalid opinions all around, I suppose.

>>13547002
Definitely. But it's also a show that's best watched with an open mind and free of anyone else's opinions.

>>13547054
They're two completely different animals. 00 is more of a fast-paced thriller than the slice-of-life drama that is Turn A.

It also takes more after western sci-fi literature than any other entry in the franchise. Think the Foundation series, Enders Game and Childhoods End with robots.

Anyway, the proportions look nice and I hope Bandai gives us two-toned white and blue plastic like with the Exia.

>>13547128
on the top of the foot? Yeah. Didn't have such a big gray slot between the white and red, though. Color separation and new green parts should be fantastic, so I'm looking forward to it.

Everyone shut the fuck up.

The best Gundumb OVA is ZZ Gundam! This is law.

I bought a RG Gundam Mk.II 1/144 for my 14 year old son. He has no experience with this, do you think he'll be able to do it? Are there any tutorials for this specific Gunpla that I can give him to use?

>>13547240
Yeah though RGs are harder than PGs

>>13547240
read the guide

>>13547240
Start him off with some HGs. Save the RG for later when he has some experience under his belt. He'll appreciate it much more that way.

>>13547244
I did read the guide, but I ordered this thing a few months ago for him. I wanted to ask your opinion about it and also to ask if there's any tutorials for this specific one.

>>13547240
>He has no experience with this, do you think he'll be able to do it?
He'd find the number of parts the RG has tedious and it might make him hate gunpla. Just get him an HG

>>13547240
> do you think he'll be able to do it?
Some kids can, though I personally would not start off someone with a RG; a HG, or even a non-scale 1/100 would probably be more suitable.

While the RG Mk II is the most stable of the RG's, it has a ton of very small pieces and the instructions are not as simple as easier kits such as an advanced grade or high grade.

>>13547258
>tutorials for this specific one.
Building a RG is the same as any other gunpla, and any more advanced techniques are probably not a good idea for a 14 year old, regardless of his skill.

>>13547269
1) use a q-tip to align and press down on decals/stickers
2) clean up your panel lines. If you insist on using a marker (and I would not, as panel washing is just as easy and looks far better), make sure you go over the bits again with a bit of thinner on a q-tip. There's bad spots on the inside of the left arm, on the face, and on the front of the legs and knees.
3) clean up those nubs
4) fingerprints on the plastic are very obvious; cleaning them and applying a top coat will preserve it much better.

>>13547282
yes

It is, but that's the old HG RX-78-2. There's been a very recent new release, which has some issues (different proportions), but with superior engineering:

If you prefer a less anime-accurate version, the 30th anniversary HG is also good:

Any recommendations that don't require sharp objects to build it? He suffers from an onset of cerebral palsy so that has me worried

>>13547323
Can he use nail clippers?

>>13547323
A sprue cutter and sandpaper or metal files will work ok. Hobby nippers shouldn't be particularly sharp, just keep him away from x-acto hobby knives.

>>13547240
Yes, he will love it. He will learn from reading the manual, don't worry.

>>13547323
>don't require sharp objects to build it?
Some Bandai kits have pieces that snap off the sprue and don't require cutting implements, but no Gundam plastic model does.

The LBX line from Bandai is quite simplistic compared to most Gundam kits, but are engineered to allow for pieces to snap off:

Amazon listing:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=LBX

>>13547323
the 1/48 scale Mega Size gundams have big parts that are easier to work with and snap off the runner with a tool, no cutting needed.

>>13547342

Mk.II RG father here

I just bought two HGs for my son, but is there a translated manual for the Mk.II RG?

>>13547387
It's all in pictures, you don't need to be able to read anything

>>13547387
> translated
No. Almost no manuals for any kit are translated or will ever be translated, since it's usually fairly obvious what is going on just by the pictures. That's also why a RG is not a good place to start for a 14 year old, as they usually have some interesting/ingenious engineering going on.

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this and just built the RG RX-78 30th anniversary kit, the HG victory two kit and I have Char's RG Zaku on order. What I was wondering was what Kits are your favorites or you just had lots of fun building?

the AS armor stays on pretty solidly, especially the chest one where i thought it would be flimsy. the front skirt armor likes to pop off at times though if you don't put it in correctly (i.e take of the torso to get access to the base skirt armor so you can press against it more firmly)

They're the old ass 1/100 HG kits, which look like this in less capable hands.
You actually need two sets for the Assault Buster because each mode was sold separately (and now I've got a vanilla V2 to do whatever I want but that's been sitting on my desk for like 3 years)

they're 1/100 HG kits from 1993, floppy partsformers that need some paint but were the only choice for a good looking V2 until the HGUC and MG came out. the wings are from the 1/144 NG V2 kit from the same time, smaller than the P-Bandai wing set but much cheaper and will fit in both the old and new kits.

Does anyone know if the mk2 has been discontinued? My local shop has had it "on order" for months now and i'm starting to think it will never be back in stock.

picked this up instead when i went to buy the mk2

Only kits discontinued from Bandai is the original hg gundam, gundam mk2' zeta, zz from 1990. All orher kits are still actively reproduced even from 1980

>>13549329
If you're talking about the HGUC, then you should know the new HGUC 1/144 Revive MK-2s come out this week

>>13549329
Which mk II? RG, mg, hguc, pg, 90s hg, old ass 80s kit?

>>13549343
I don't know. Just asked them to hold an mk2 for me.

There's more than one?

>>13549343
was talking about the mg ver 2.0

>>13549349
There's easily half a dozen.

If this is your first kit and you're worried about hamhands, get the HGUC. If you're competent with using a hobby knife without getting blood everywhere, get the RG.

>>13549356

My friend, I did the same. Built the Destiny as my first RG thinking "well if I fuck it up, I don't love the Destiny anyways" now I'm really looking into picking up the DM "Metal build" Destiny MG. As well as looking into panel scribbing (is that the right word?) to make the MG more like the RG.

Sorry I don't like panel lines. Also I have old kits to practise on, don't' worry!

Would anyone who has the HGUC GMIII mind measuring the back of the legs for me? Specifically the gap between the two halves, down near the ankle.

I'd like to order the stuff I'd need to build leg thrusters at the same time to save on shipping.

Yupp, since Bandai can't be assed to make one DM ripped of either the RG or the PG or both to make one and make it compatible with the SEED backpacks. Or atleast the DM ones, haven't built the DM strike yet but I assume it has the same backpack connector as the bandai SEED MGs, the IWSP might look good on the Skygrasper

STarted work on an idea I had for a haunted Grimoire. Removed part of the chest today, going to reshape it and add the detail work, going to remove the face section for the head tomorrow and refine that before working on the first of the scratch built pieces.

I'm going to run LEDs through the kit, too, so I've started mapping and cutting channels for them.

Have some gore.

>>13551410
What makes it haunted? Are you gonna bind a ghost to it?

>>13551421
It's going to have a set of ghost posession style effects I'm making coming out of the damaged areas that will be lit with the LEDs, and will be suspended over a creepy base kind of like a floating puppet. There's going to be a sort of translucent ghost skull coming out slightly from the blown in head unit.

I need to fix a broken peg on my HG Bearguy . Should I get the fine or the normal Tamiya drill bit set?

What does shitposter-kun gain from doing this?

Guess I'm off to /toy/ now. No real point in working through this shit. See you guys in a day or two.

he's actually working overtime now, he's spamming the /toy/ gunpla thread as well

He feels like he's done something, briefly.

Well the mods deleted all his images on /toy/. Hopefully they do the same here (they probably won't.)

Can some one tell me why people smooth down stickers with q tips? Im kinda new to gunpla building and trying to finish up an hg banshee for my first build

>>13551992
soft rounded end, doesn't put dings or scratches in the sticker and will flex over them to give even pressure.

thanks to the Super Quantum yugioh archetype, I've been feeling like doing power rangers stuff. because I don't think there's power rangers models, however, I'd like to make a gundam model...and the google docs file isn't there.

>>13552121
SUPER ROBOT.

The proportions are basically what the mecha are like in Mashin Hero Wataru.

>>13552121
Use it to test different top coats or primers. Or take the parts you like and try to kit bash something, or better yet make a diorama with another kit standing over its wreckage.

>>13552121
Is there a way to cut directly through the face on that? I've been thinking about a custom build I want to make and if I could just cut straight through that, it'd be perfect.

How are the metallic gundam markers?

>>13552193
silver is disappointing, gold is pretty nice, green is especially useful with 00 models, and blue is relatively underused.
They're nice for little details like eyes and stuff, but the paint chips off so easily sometimes.
I can't warn you enough if you want to use the silver for swords and stuff though, it's closer to gray

>>13552193

the green ones are extremely useful because a ton of kits use that exact color for various small details that you really want to hand paint anyway

>>13552193
even when topcoated gold will leave gold dusts if rubbed
silver is the shittiest of shit

Not guy the same guy
But what is your opinion on the yellow G-markers?
I am getting the Full Cloth Crossbone and know that shit has tons of yellow accents

>>13551155
Yes, there's pictures on the Facebook page

>>13552351
They're actually pretty good for minor details. They still don't beat actually mixing your own color and painting, but they can be a quick fix if you aren't looking for anything too professional. They do tend to be a little more yellow than the usual Gundam Yellow though.

what's your main reason to buy certain gunpla?
the series?

the gimmicks?
or the mobile suit's strength?

>wanted yo use parts from an EZ-Sr for the Heavy unit in my Graze squad

The arms and legs are all a little shorter than that of the Graze and the waist unit is a male connector.

I'm liking IBO's style and the gunpla looks good.
Batbatos has a unique but still gundam look in the vein of Exia.

GP01Fb is one of the coolest kits I've ever built.

>>13552904
Do the extensive modding. Even if you fuck some of it up, at least you're trying and learning new things.

>>13553487
That looks amazing. I remember reading somewhere (maybe in the guide) that most RGs have some minor issues; does that apply to the GP01?

>>13553460
I know you didn't ask this but a much better SD kit would be Legend BB Command Gundam, Strike Ryubi Gundam or Knight Gundam

Kurenai Musha Red Warrior is okay but it's just a bit under the standard Legend BBs set, one of those would be a better time

As for RGs, the Mk II, Z'Gok and 00R are my favorites, but the Destiny and Astray are both really solid too

The GP01s are great aside from the Core Fighter-upper torso connection being loose for a lot of people

>>13553537
Shit, I started looking at those kits and saw on the "related" area the Knight Unicorn and goddamn does it look neat. Too bad it's unavailable.

I'll go with the Knight Gundam I guess, thanks for the recommendation.
