Gunpla/Plamo General

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.

nope. not gonna argue about it more, but last raven was the peak of the series. hands down. if you couldnt handle the AC Nexus series Difficulty/new heat system/ new controls you were bad. took a bit getting used to, but once you played a bit you got a hang for it. i did enjoy some of the ACSL weapon types though, howitzers were fun as fuck. the fact that there were weapons with all sorts of different stats but the same model shows that the dev team was just looking to add filler. the way ACNexus and ACLR story just flows together makes me giddy as fuck.

i need to line this White glint and VOB kit as well as sticker it, but i need practice with that so im buying a bunch of mass produced zaku IIs to get into lining before i do that. i want to really do the GAEA (and evangel) justice so thats going straight to backlog until i get gud.

I beat it you shitlord I just had way more fun playing Silent Line and before that when I got an emulator. Nexus just throws a wrench into the fun mechanics of the game.

>>13824996
then instead of saying NEXUS KILLED ARMORED CORE say i had more fun with the simplified mechanics of silent line instead of tuning individual ac parts, and micromanaging HEAT with energy/boosting.
thats all there is to it. also the fact that it had 7 different endings and branching mission timelines was pretty neat i thought. part destruction was cool ,and having to individually repair parts was good. i played it on PS2, not an emu, so i hhad the chance to buy each game and have fun with each of them. theres not an AC game pre 4a that i havent fully completed/100% i also played dark souls and i can say with 100% certainty that FROM is at its peak when creating genuinely challenging games. you cant quantify an opinion like "X game killed X series" without having played through a great portion of it and compare it to itself.

managed to get Nexus with Special edition Disk, was a pretty cool experience to play old missions with a new engine

Don't respond, just filter him

So does top coating prevent paint from chipping? Or like, getting imprints when say like your nail scratches the surface?

>>13825030
Oh man. Anon, get a gray panel line marker in the future for white pieces. Black is too much of a contrast for those.

>>13825044
why the hell are you using your nail to scratch the surface though

>>13824819
I love the graze custom but the graze custom 2 extra curves and thrusters even furthering it from the standard graze... so yeah now I basically got one of each graze type so far coming except the blue one with tallgeese head thing.

I screwed up a joint on the kitbash im working on with the standard graze to the point it be a bigger issue to fix then replace so decided to get the high mobility for extra parts it only comes with. So gonna use whats left of him in a kitbash with another kit I bought just for parts haha.

Im gonna wait on rebake until I get comfortable with masking so many small parts just hope it becomes a rare rerelease suit, and definetly waiting on the new gundam with the gyan vibe, dalong should its sprues are ripe for reuse so Ill wait for its later version to see which id prefer.

>>13825051
I take the kit apart sometimes, what I mean is when you. say. put the kit together and something doesn't quite fit, you push down on the piece, and sometimes your nail might hit another piece and put an impression in the paint. It's just happened to me before.

What are the best SD units? At the risk of sounding gay I am looking for the ones with the unique eyes because they're cute.

What the hell are you doing? Are you pressing parts in using your nails?

>>13825073
They're already cut. The paint makes it hard sometimes to put the pieces together so I have to use force sometimes and I have big hands. Listen I just asked a simple question, does top coat prevent that kind of thing or does paint just naturally imprint? If you're not going to answer and just reply with crap like that just save both of us the trouble and don't reply.

>>13825082

SD Musha ZII if you want to skip right into the holy-grail or Star Winning Gundam if you want a cheap, second-place taste of the holy grail.

Topcoating should guard the paint from smudges, scratches I'm not so sure about. You should be topcoating if you're painting anyway though.

they are just peal and place stickers right? just peal them off with the edge of your knife and carefully stick them on, then rub with the edge of your fingernail to remove any air bubbles.

or just buy some decals from SamuelDecals like any sane person.

>Why doesn't bandai include water slides in perfect grades?
they do now thanks to Katoki, even for PGs Bandai wanted their kits to be easily built without needing very many tools, so they just included stickers and dry transfers.

>>13825165
You also need a better surface to put your kits on.

And lol UNO cards. Why do you even have those?

>>13825172

Hmm, I see.

I wish I had one of those fancy ALPS printers so I could print my own white decals.

Also, I'm not seeing any water slides in the Unicorn PG, but I know they make aftermarket slides for them- is that what you meant?

i just looked again, PG Strike Freedom came with waterslides, which was Katoki's design. Unicorn has regular decals but the FA Unicorn set has a huge sheet of waterslides to replace the stickers.

like i said before just order some sets from Samueldecals, Alps printers arnt even in production anymore and there are plenty of third party sets between him and Chinese printers making their own stuff; not as detailed as Cartograph but good enough.

>>13825296

>>13825484
The FAGs are 1/12th scale so it's more Figuarts/figma scale than the size of a frame arts kit. You'd probably be able to fit the Frame Arm's frame in there but which kit you'll be able to put in depends on the kit itself

>>13825667
probably not the kagatsuchi then

So, a regular HG Pale Rider hasn't yet been announced because...?
In fact there's a bunch of possible kits where Bandai clearly has the mold, and they haven't been done yet for some reason.

I can only hope for a Strike Noir 2.0, Verde Buster, and Blu Duel to go along with that.

They already made one, albeit the gimped R version. Unlike this fully armed Robot Damashii.

>>13825721
Because it's a design that's only from a video game, rapidly losing relevance and interest, and since they packaged the kit with the game already as well as made a p-bandai most people in their primary market already got the kit if they wanted it at this point.

This, it looks hideous. People shat on the Barbatos a lot but I liked it for its skeletal, demonic design. This is just a clusterfuck. The brutal mace replaced with some bulbous fold-out club. Those retarded giant high heels, like it's a Gundam Throne. Those tacked-on binders that looked out of place on the Schwalbe Graze and even moreso now. Those WoW pauldron shoulders and that all-white mess of a chest that make it look like it's got football armor on top of its twiggy frame. And those blue slabs on the arms.

This is just bad.

Remember to sand in one direction, almost always. Pushing & pulling are different motions for your hands & you're likely to not hold the same line of motion forwards & backwards. Going one way only makes sure that you minimize the variance in your strokes & keep the sanding surface moving in a uniform direction in order to maximize the uniformity of your material removal.

Guys I always have uneven surfaces after sanding curved surfaces. Is there any way to properly sand curved surfaces?

Make a sanding sponge by attaching some sandpaper to a sponge/piece of foam. It'll more evenly distribute pressure over a wider area as you sand, reducing uneven surfaces on curved pieces.

ibo is here to stay, wither you like it or not. it got confirmed for a(t leas ta) 50 EP series anyway. i cant wait for all the juicy melee kits

> being this delusional

>>13829798
to be fair, we had other things besides G-Reco and Try Suits during their run. Thunderbolt isn't helping the case, as they already have kits.

>>13829798
It is shit.

>>13829807
Better then wing, so I'd say it's decent.
The story is a bit garbled and they pulled the ever-so-retarded move of having a main character in a killshot scenario and yet, not actually having the guy make the shot, but I think otherwise it's alright. It's just a bit slow, which would've been a lot more justified if it was a 50ish episode series from the start.

i was talking about the larger action bases, not the character plates. stuff like the char aznable, shinjaku, unicorn, esef and zeon logos, etc. hoping bandai would release more of those would be a false dream though. id pay out the ass for a large action base with the Iron Flower on it.
also holy shit clean up the nubs.

you people are blinded just by the term chainsaw. Take a second look, it's the dinkiest chainsaw ever and that weapon still looks like ass. The blade is so tiny and can only be used on limbs, it's like safety scissors.

Glad there's some chainsaw, maybe there will be like a cool couple kills with it in the show, but overall still disappoint.

So, Barbatos is getting:
- shoulders from new teal Graze-chan
- hip thrusters from Ein's Graze
- chainsaw club
- redesigned arms with redesigned arm guards (like form 1) with built in vulcans
- heels and bulkier torso armor

At least all the thrusters will be useful against hi-mo mobile suits and make it so Barbatos isn't useless without weapons

This kit and my not-having-it will haunt me to my dying days

I refuse to give in to Amazon and their ludicrous prices, but if it's going to be like this, is there really any other choice?

Holy shit gourai literally print money.

do you guys who put kits together use a specific surface to do this on or do you just use whatever surface you have available?

The magazine scans show it can deploy normally.

For what reason they open up I don't know but maybe it's just for show.

>>13830242
I sit on my bed while building and use the box to hold the parts

>>13830278
It's just some sort of heat vent gimmick.
So long as it's optional, I'm okay with it.
Some people do whine about the tacked on spikes on the wing cannons but if they really hate it, those can easily be cut off and sanded down.
Looks promising so far, might easily be the best representation of the Freedom, better than the RG for sure.

>>13829992
I recall some of the old promotional artwork for the original Gundam showed it with red eyes. I think some Origin artwork did as well. Could be mistaken though.

Finally finished, this is my best work yet, although i gave up on painting the collar black because i fucked up masking to many times. Kit looks great overall, i don't like how tiny the revolver is, the barrel is thinner than Ingram's finger.

Looks like something from the 80s/90s. I know the thing's a candy toy but I guess asking for the red to be molded was a bit too much. Still can't wait to get him though

how do you get your supplies there?

>>13830708
Depends, what supplies?
I'm barely getting into painting, trying to start with detail painting. I was planning on ordering the paints from Tamiya mexico.
For nippers/building supplies I just get whatever I can use from Hardware stores. I have to cut the pieces from the runners with a pair of fucking pinzas perras and then trim it a bit with a pair of toenail clippers and sand/cut the last bit with an exacto knife.
Worst part definetly is fucking college, m8.

>>13830717
Shit. I meant Pinzas de corte.
They can be pretty fucking unwieldy, I accidentaly fucking snapped my HG V2's faceplate because of how damn big they are.

>>13830717
no painting, ok, what about topcoat? I never found a good substitute for tamiya flat
