Our next Group Build!

Field Repair

Basically what this means is that rather than the mobile suit being fresh out of a factory, it's quite the opposite. Whether it's trudging through dense jungles or dodging debris in asteroid belts, your mobile suit has seen some better days.
You've been out in the field for quite a long time now, nearly half a year of active duty in the front lines and your personal mobile suit's pretty banged up. What's worse is the fact that there isn't a maintenance bay within several thousand kilometers of your local area that's capable of making any major repairs. Your unit's engineering crew has resorted to patch work and jury-rigging to keep your machine operational. Stray fire might have crippled its legs and arms or otherwise dealt considerable damage to a mobile suit's systems meanwhile some units have simply lost bits of armor and panels to the elements and have been forced to patch weld metal sheets over the exposed inner workings.
In any case it's beaten to hell but somehow you and your team have somehow kept it chugging along and now command's ordered all units operating in your theatre to fall back to form a defensive line against the enemy offensive.

Don't you deceive me. I know you didn't build that. I just wish it had a kit though, shit looks so god damn good.

Every attempt I make at panel lining my MG Turn A is turning into a disaster. How can one person fuck up so much on something that's supposed to be easy?

>>13673148
He did the waterslide markings it comes with though

So I just finished putting together the MG Proto Zero, and noticed that there were two small pieces left over.
When I checked the booklet to see which pieces were unused those pieces aren't crossed off, so what the fuck are they for?
It's E53.

Dude. That is so fucking rad.

Is it possible to fix scratches in plastic parts by going over the scratch with plastic cement and then sanding over it--much like how you weld seams together?

If you're being serious, I don't know. I've had bad luck with rounding off pieces with these.

So are sanding sticks and sandpaper in general supposed to only last like ten seconds before they turn white and become unusable, or am I doing something wrong?

>>13673466

Yes.

Paint also helps if you are planning to paint it.
Simply do a tad more over the area that got damaged, and then do the other coats over that.

>>13673496
Are you wetting your sandpaper down?

If you wet sandpaper or sanding sticks that aren't made for wet sanding, you'll lose all of the abrasive material.

>>13673508
I'm not.

They just seem to lose all of the abrasion extremely quickly whenever I sand.

decided to go with flat aluminum for the wing binders of the zeta plus, I haven't got it here but I already masked the blue parts on and I'm going to do the white tomorrow morning. I'm also planning on making the pink a tint darker (sources on the net say to use red paint as opposed to black or grey to darken pink so i'll experiment a little)

Project is coming along nicely, once I get the pink to the right tint it'll really start to come along as that is 90% of the armour parts

>>13673801
>>13673809
Okay. In my defence, nobody ever told me that I was supposed to dunk my sanding sticks in water for them to work properly.

>>13673993

in addition wet sanding can be nice if you aren't wearing a mask because you get far less dust into your lungs

it also can get really fine finishes when you get into 2500+ grit range, but can sometimes be harder to see where your marks are at lower grit levels

>>13673999
Got it.

Any amazing sanding techniques I should know about, wise masters?

So far I've been going with "rub it a lot" and "use the appropriate grit and don't go too rough and ruin your model like a retard".

>>13674003

experiment with how hard you are pressing, and how fast you are moving the paper

people also have different preferences on moving in random directions to get the whole surface even or only one direction,

If you need to sand a flat surface and are using paper, get a popsicle stick or something similar and glue the paper to it, otherwise you will round off the corners.

My favorite sanding and body work tools are
>squadron sanding sticks, coarse, medium, and tri grit for finishing
>micromesh pads
>jewelers files

I also have some weird locally made strips that are very thin, and some cone shaped ones

this is just the stuff I have found I like after lots of testing, and it's really focused on heavy work like this old zaku kit

>>13674003
Sandpaper glued to popsicle sticks is great for sanding flat parts and much cheaper than buying premade ones

I bought the Kotobukiya Tsugumori kit but haven't bought a stand for it yet.

What color of stand would best fit it? White or black, maybe clear?

>>13674055

I like clear stands, the clear action base 3 looked better than I thought it would but I don't know how big the tsugumori is

It's just showing the mechanism in the hips to swing the legs down and forward a bit more for posing

>>13674089
It looks a bit better in a standing pose with the leg mechanism upward, but if you swing it downward as shown you'll have more range of motion for dynamic posing.

>>13674125

Get German Gray (the darkest shade of gray I can think of) and White.

Mix them and experiment with the ratio until you get the shade of gray you like the best.

I guess my choice is restricted between V-Dash and Graze custom then

>>13675024
Pick up the long distance booster from IBO, I think it comes with both barbatos and graze. Or maybe it was weird and had graze parts or something.

You get something that has shelf presence and hopefully won't take an hour to assemble

its not a brick at all, the extra parts only hinder the poseability slightly in a few areas but it is still perfectly flexible. the hardest part is just working around all the guns and fins sticking out in different directions and getting it to pose correctly with the mega beam rifle mounted at a weird angle.

sure feels like september in here

I have sort of a general question about Gunpla. I built my first one yesterday and I really enjoyed it. It wasn't particularly hard and since the guide says that there isn't a difficulty difference between HG and MG should I bother with HG anymore? MG just seems all around bigger and cooler. Do people just get HG stuff because the one they want isn't available as a MG model?

>>13675289
get a PG

>>13675289
HG's are considerably cheaper, smaller, and have much broader selection. I like all my kits in the same scale and the variety. I stick to 1/144.

what's up bros it's been a while. left right after ibo came along and the shit posting was at it's maximum. Is it over now? can i finally breathe? did i miss the yearly generous anon? did he deliver?
is the January restock up yet?

>>13675289
MGs are way cooler. If you want one, get it.

>>13675266
1. Use nipper cut off far from the actual piece
2. What should look like after
3. Use nipple cut off half of nub
4. What should look like after
5. Use fingers or desk to stablize your hands. Slice off nub going upwards like a mountain.

5a. *optional: or use sandpaper to take off the nub.There are different grits, 1000 then 2000 should be good. DONE.*

6+7. What should look like after step 5. Do the same as step 5 on the opposite side till the mountain nub is flat.
8. Use finger nail to press on any stress marks to help make it disappear. (won't fully disappear if done wrong or did not use any sandpaper)
9+10. End result

11. Pic if you have mircoscope eyes. Otherwise it's barely noticable.

Good luck ! Please feel free to ignore my guide if you don't like it.

You need nippers and some flat sharp blade with a handle. Becareful please

theres also the 1/100 HG. ill never complain about the HGs poseability compared to that thing, the shoulders have zero movement because the cannons sit on top of them, elbows only move about 40 degrees and the knees cant hold its weight at all with the AB stuff on there. plus all the partsformers components make it impossible to stay together and will crumble if you look at it funny.

Got a really nice kit for christmas and I don't want to just snap it and do panel lining on it, I'd like to make the colors look a little nicer. I've only painted model cars before, so I'm probably going to test painting a cheaper kit first.

Reading the guide for topcoating, will the colors of the base plastic look better by just topcoating them (no paint), or should I really think about practicing on the cheaper kit with a primer->paint->topcoat

>>13675427
Usually, I put on music from the series that kit belongs to. Lets me remember seeing it on screen or looking at it through manga pages.

As for non-Gundam songs, usually Armored Core OSTs or whatever stations I have on Pandora.

How useful are Gundam markers generally?

>>13676150
He wasn't making fun of you at all.

>>13676161
If you're a snap-builder then you can use them to cover over nub marks that are left even after sanding, and they're a simple way to panel line as well. I prefer to use enamels to panel line since I think it takes less time

So when you guys paint parts, do you bother fully painting the whole thing? Like would you use paint on the parts that never see the light of day?

>>13676201

The more you paint where you can't see, the more fitment problems you have to correct later. It's really a case by case basis though, you definitely want to make sure you'll never run into a situation where you pose the kit and suddenly see primer or plastic though.

>>13676215
I ran into this problem a lot when I was painting the MG Unicorn where pieces that seem like they'd never be visible wind up being very prominent or noticeable. I just get annoyed whenever pieces have very deep recesses or when I have to move the clamp onto different areas to get another part of it painted.

>>13676234

generally if a part needs to have the clip moved, it means another type of attachment to a stick like sticky tack or masking tape would be more ideal

I have that same hobby knife from Menards, I'm pretty sure it's their store brand. Came with that light and like 10-15 blades in a plastic case yeah?

Are there any tutorials on building a beam saber is it just as simple as putting a clear pary into a hole?

>>13677309
Hey sorry for the late reply anon! Yeah it's the same one you described, but I don't really use the light on the knife. It doesn't help much when I have a lamp instead. I usually just buy standard replacement blades, I don't get too crazy with the ones that come with the knife holder. Good eye!

>>13675823

Yeah, it's Resin.

So someone tell me, is the GM Striker a good kit? It's one of my favorite GM variants so I'm going to buy it regardless, but I'd like to know what I'm getting into.

For HG kits, do you guys separate the front skit or just leave it be?

>>13677763
Depends on the kit I suppose and how the front skirt connects. I did it to my Revive Gundam and it was preddy gud.

Its always better to just snip it in the middle without removing any excess, as it helps the friction of the independent skirts.

What is even the point?

Guys question, if you can still feel some nub (sometimes on one side only) should you continue to sand (I sand in one direction) or should I leave it be provided that It's mostly flat except for the other side. It's rare for me to actually sand a nub down flat perfectly, other times I end up going too much (I use 1k grit sandpaper) any tips to git gud at sanding?

No one that's worthy as a modeler! because when you do more then snapping a kit out its no longer a toy.
Dare i say it, Gunpla done right is art. I am well aware that this statement carries a lot of pretentiousness, but in a board that had people with talent getting over taken by the likes of you and your shit posting someone needs to tell you where you stand. this was once a grate general but not any more.

And before you start this "I just wanted to share so don't criticize me" and "I don't want to go any further with my hobby" let me answer you before you waist more of our time.
NOTHING is free from criticism, no matter what.
If you have no time to improve, we have no time for you.

How awful are ZAKU Warrior kits? I really like the designs but I feel spoiled by sticking to modern gunpla..

Is that the MG or HG? Anyway, nice decals.

I can't believe how long it's been since I got my Jahannam. It's still going strong like my old Elf Bullock and Gaeon, my first kits in years.

>>13679237
What decals are those?

Is this a resin kit or a plamo? How do you usually recognize one from the other by the runners?

Why is 1/144 the best scale?

Because it has everything. To better see this look at all the Zeta Gundam and ZZ suits that were made into HGUC's. You can only get 1/144 G-Reco suits. There's a tasteful variety rather than 'only making the most popular ones.'

Has anyone here built an oldschool 1/144 HGUC Rick Dias?

If so any comments/opinions?

>>13679602
I built it. It was alright. There isn't really much to say about it. It is what it is. That Clay Bazooka stores on the back the same way the Hyaku Shiki's did. I'm sure of it.

>>13679578

Kit variety is good, easier to be creative with changes to kits (I don't just mean snoozy kitbashes but those too I guess), n scale rr stuff is close to the same size, dolls dollhouses are same scale, kits are cheap, more room to display, easier to make variants with alternate runners like build fighters kits due to no internal frame, etc.

These are just some advantages, it can be done with any scale which is why its simply a preference question

>>13679602

Great design but the kit really feels old

so, when are we going to get plamo of this.

What is the most unbearable kit to put together?

>>13679632
Zeta define? Maybe after the HG REVIVE?

Do we know what is going to be the 200th HG?

>>13679651
Non-scale Muv Luv kits from Koto. They just DON'T stay together.

>>13679693
knowing the nips, it's probably gonna' be strike freedom or anything from seed. I'd be a liar if I said I didn't want a Strike Noir Revive or Stargazer Revive, though.

>>13679651
30 year old Zaku kits.
The fucking thing falls apart if you so much as look at it.

I just got around to putting this together. Jesus fuck is this kit bad. The "Snap-Fit" idea sounds okay at first but it's nothing like your typical bandai/koto kit. The treads are the worst part easily, they're a single piece of hard plastic that you need to use a blow dryer to bend properly into place. I even snapped it at one point while building, so there's that.

tl;dr never buy models made by ruskies.

>>13679699
It'll be a fucking Zaku Revive.

>Graze
Easily one of the top 3 kits of the year.

>RX-78
Proportions are a bit lanky but there's no real flaw to the kit other than the hardpoints on the arm.

>G-Self
It's shit. Enjoy your lack of thigh swivel and inaccurate colors.

>>13679884

This guy's looking better than I thought this kitbash would look. Just need to figure out a good colorscheme for it.

ugh, looks like a massive hunk of plastic.

>>13680243
Maybe because it is? Anon said they haven't decided on a color scheme yet, so that sort of implies it hasn't been worked on much yet past the concept
