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.

And I forgot my link.

Why does Mr color thinner have different numbers(250,110,400) and would it be better to use mr color leveling thinner for someone living in SE asia?

Anyone know where i can get a MG sized Shotlance? i'm thinking of painting a X1 into a X2 since it would be cheaper then the P-bandai one

FLAT finally arrived!

The surface detail is great for a NG 1/144, and it is surprisingly amazing to pose because the construction is so different from typical suits. I'm gonna paint this guy when I finish some other kits so no stickers for now. Here are some of my favorite poses with the kit.

Something that amuses me is how similar some of the comments are to our own.

How many kits does one build before they fully master the art of removing nubs with a knife/sandpaper without leaving any shitty white marks?

Because I really hope I don't have to live with all these shitty fucking skirt pieces I ended up with on all future kits

>>13866190
It's just good? There's nothing wrong with it and it looks nice, what kind of question is this

>>13866315
What qualities make one say it's nice?

Is there a lot of detail for a SD?
Do the pieces fit together really well?
Good posability?
Good stability?
Does it come with extra equipment?
Are the stickers special in some way?
Is it just an easy build with interesting pieces, making it fun?

I'm interested in getting one and I would like details from someone who seems to know them.

Fuck stickers

>>13866380
Are you that much of a snapshit that you cant even put the stickers on?

Why dont you paint the sticker details yourself?

Also, how do I nip the piece off the runner without it flying off like loony toons?

>>13866415
Payday next week, car insurance payment today, so cant go ahead right now. Doesnt help that conversion rates are horrendous at the moment for AU$.

But will do, Anon, will do.

>>13866212
thanks friend

>>13866402
thats odd why a Gyan? i thought about getting one, if just to have every Zeek ms

>>13866425
Get better, sharper nippers. Sticky tape over the part. Surround yourself with a cardboard wall.

>>13866425
Buy a half-decent nipper. Cheap ones like $10 wire strippers pinch the plastic instead so clipped nubs fly off into the abyss when you clip them. Good ones will instead cleanly cut the runners, which also reduces stress on the plastic on the parts.

Also read the guide.

>>13866425
Hold the piece you're nipping out when you cut the last gate, instead of holding the runner itself

Yes, it's a BB Legend and they're all nicely detailed
Yes
Yes
Yes
Three forms
Not really but I guess the green ones are sparkly to match the sparkly clear green plastic
Yes

The only Legend BBs that aren't great are like Versal Knight because it has just too many stickers and Musha Victory because a third of the plastic you're paying for is in that gross gold and the basic kit without those parts is kinda boring

why would i do that? the person you originally replied to was asking about using a knife/sandpaper. With those 2 things you can completely get rid of nubs. You just have to have the different grit sandpaper, a fresh exacto blade, patience, and technique. Don't lay down your shortcomings like it applies to everyone that builds gunpla.

I like every iteration of the Graze except the pink one.

I should have asked here or gone through a review before buying, but man do I regret getting the V2 Assault Buster. I love Victory which is why I got it, but this kit is just a pain. The hands are pretty shitty, no beam sabers, limited articulation, and the cannons on the back in the Buster or Assault Buster modes are pain in the ass to move - they're on a ball joint that pops out if you even try to move it adjust it. Terrible. I guess I'll keep it in a hybrid of the Buster and Assault modes since gunpla is freedom and all that, but for my second kit it really hasn't been pleasant.

So if you live in the US it's Presidents day weekend. What are you working on this potentially three day weekend?

I just finidhed my GuP tank. Went really light on the weathering as in the series they are well maintained.

>>13869186
The Zeta Plus is great, and if you like the look there's that Lightning Zeta from GBFT that NAOKI designed.

1000 grit doesn't seem to do anything at all, do I need to go a little coarse like 400?

Do I need to sand internal frame parts on MGs and RGs?

>>13869647
Yes these are two good suggestions. If you like the MS mode of the Zeta, want an updated cool design of it, and don't care if it doesn't have a waverider mode then definitely get the Lightning Zeta. If waverider mode is a must for you, then the Zeta Plus certainly gets the job done while looking pretty badass in the process. Also don't sleep on the Rezel. They are essentially Zeta Gundam variants that all have a waverider mode. The Rezel Type C is especially awesome, definitely one of my favorite kits that I own.

How do I practice without dropping wads of cash on HGs that I'm not gonna be proud of?

Got a bunch done today on this guy. Gutted the inside of the chest and sacrificed a GM to Plamor to give it some better shoulder articulation. I also split the front skirt and started on the seam welding. Next order of business is to add a ball joint to the waist and maybe ankle tilts to the feet.

Also could someone post a pic of the smallest hands that come with the Jigen Build Knuckles next to say the hands from a HGAW Wing or a Crossbone?

What exactly am I looking at here?

I am still kinda new and wanted to start detailing kits better, I'm gonna start small and detail weapons first, is it good or at least acceptable to just use gundam markers or should I actually get some paints?

>>13867706
>and it costs some fucking 1610 yen
Glad I live in Japan, it's only 900 yen on Japanese Amazon and you get free shipping.

>>13870840
>>13870843
it looks better without the bunny ears

just admit it

>>13870843

I was thinking of taking the Rebake's shield and the GN-X lance and really making the Grimgerde look like a viking maiden. Some different shoulders would help too.

Too bad that finding the GN-X for under 30 dollars is like searching for the bones of Jesus.

>>13870850

Gundam markers are pretty much only good for detail work, but the problem is they're imprecise so you need to squeeze the paint out and paint it onto the parts with a fine brush. You COULD dab the marker on as light as you can, then scrape away the excess with a toothpick, which I've done, but it's a pain and paint directly from a marker just goes on too fucking thick.

Smearing metallic marker for things like heat hawk/blade edges works.

>>13870836
Anyone? Also what color should black and gray pieces be panel lined with?

>>13868781
They introduced negative intrestrates recently to right? Which means bank account savings are discourged and that you should invest in bonds and the stock market for returns, but I thought this was a sign of weakness and that it would weaken the yen to help exports

Yes, negative rates have never helped, and Japanese due to their culture hold onto their money rather than investing. The current rate of exchange should hold even as US markets dip.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel your panel lining is a bit heavy. Not Dalong heavy, but still heavy. It works for some areas like the shoulders and the bottom of the legs, but the chest and the upper thighs are too strong IMO.

As for the shoulder vents,those are the seals, right?

>>13870952

Because it's a different lance and I want that one.

>>13870960
shoulder vents were gundam marker applied with a small brush, the white needs a few more coats to be thicker desu

as for the panel lining it was my first time using the pour type panel lining so you're right it was applied too liberally

An attempt to take the old 1/144 Heavy-Arms Custom from 1998 and give it decent articulation. It's my first time doing a kitbash that isn't just gluing parts from kit B onto kit A, so I figured I'd use a cheap EW kit since they were getting reissued last month.

Anyone got a good website for GFF and Zeonography figure reviews? I want good pictures of them.

I leave them but I try to buy another of that same kit and do it justice. I use the old ones to experiment new techniques on. I once had this GM Type C that had holes drilled in it, seam welded legs and one arm, every body part a different color, shield covered in random waterslides, limbs replaced by other limbs. It was a monster. Then my mom threw it out.

You must have described 70% of the building community.

Lets face it, only a small amount of people actually go deeper into Gunpla building. Commoners don't put an incredible amount of efforts into kits. I believe snap builders to be a large part of Bandai's revenue while people who are amazing at building will buy 1 or 2 kits a year and spend a year customizing it.

It is the snap builders which are saving the community and industry.

Didn't get too good of a pic of this one. But at least it's fully painted.

She a brat who steals plamo parts and hides them if I leave them sitting out where she can get to them.

For some reason this guy chose gloss as his final topcoat despite weathering it.

Not sure if this was an entry or not as there was no entry stub for it on the table. That and the front is held on with tape.

This entry was actually pretty good. According to the entry stub the builder is 70 years old. Hope I see him at the winner announcements tomorrow. I would love to chat him up.

Just two more pics left. Which are my entries.

This guy is actually a bit sloppier than he looks in the pic. I missed some areas when I cleaned up the panel wash that you can't see from this angle and I didn't bother fully seam welding the arms or all the joints as I was running out of time.
And I know it's a bit blurry, the site thinks the good image has "possible malicious code".

And the gm was mostly just to test out some new materials and practice with my new airbrush stuff.

This was the main entry, the tank I posted the other day. The Yukari fell over at some point.

And those were the entries. Not a very big contest.

Make sure to have paint ready for the Hardygun. When done right it's a beautiful model, Gerbil has one and it's great looking. If you don't paint save it until you can, for your own benefit.

>>13873298
I got it because I love the design and it seems like good custom base as well, although I have no idea what to do with it yet or just straight build it.

>>13873291
It was fucking massive as well. Like 2-3 feet long. Must have required a ton of masking.
