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.

Bought my first gunpla (well actually i've bought two FG rx-78-2 but it is my first experience).
Tips about painting are welcome
I have a question for you: Are there any model that do not require painting? And how do I avoid these models?

Dalong

mg gyan or mg zaku

To anyone who owns the HG Zaku II Origin, can you guys give me some pics or comment on the waist articulation? namely the horizontal pivot and the forward lean?

I've been looking at Dalong, Schizo, and a couple other photoreview sites, and they've shown in in pretty good poses, but they don't really show the waist articulation in detail, just the limbs and the upper torso. I'd like to know how far it actually goes.

Thanks in advance.

Best transforming HG?

This should be the photo for some future thread's OP. I saved richigo's picture for motivation, because I've been having problems finishing my builds lately, and to remind people that /m/ gpg isn't just a bunch of shitposters shitposting.

I really hope the RG 00Q can hold it's shield bits like the MG. It's one of the features I want the most...

>>13951445
Whoever is the technical person for MS designs for IBO is really not good at their job. I mean, we've got Nagano-esque unbalanced thin waists, high heels, dirt simplistic weapon designs, etc.

Why isn't there a better selection of Metal Gear models?

>>13951445
It's a high grade.

Those kind of things are pretty much expected of them.

>>13951445
Part uses less plastic which helps with material costs. It also lets them mold s piece with more depth to it without making it a solid block of plastic.

I was looking at the badger air compressor on Amazon but they're almost $200

I don't mind spending more money for a longer lasting air compressor

And the builder's hands and arms are all bandaged up cause he keeps cutting himself on his gunpla as he sets his GP Base.

>>13953620
hey man it happens to the best of us, I have more p-bandai kits and gunpla expo exclusive kits than I care to admit.

Is the HG 00 Seven Sword alright? I know the HG Exia has got some problems.

I'm thinking about grabbing 00, Virtue, Cherudim GNHW/R or Zabanya, and either Arios or Kyrios. I've got GN-Archer and I kinda want a cool CB squad based on my preferences.

I'm about a week off from finishing painting my Graze Custom as well.

well hell, blog time, more /adv/ or /r9k/ than /m/ but i kinda want to get this out of my chest since i have no friends that can relate to this but you folks.

Don't read this post, ignore it, ban me, whatever. I just feel a need to write this out here regardless what other think about me. I'll even spoil the long ass text so you don't have to look and accidentally read it.

I just threw a major fit with my family because they were complaining about my hobbies and how it brings shame to mom and dad.
As expected of chinese family, every time they see me playing video games is like a regular parent spotting their child doing drugs and every time they see me building model kits is like their 25 years old only child playing with kiddies toys. Not to mention japanese toys for old folks raised under Mao Zedong's doctrine.
So i kinda snapped and begin throwing all my collection into their boxes, even damaging some along the way.
Yes, i'm 25 and still life with my parents, also yes, in that rage fit i threw everything i build since i was 10 into boxes, from the very special PG Zaku II i got in a christmas when i was 15 and snap built it with my bare hands in an all-nighter to my latest models that got featured lots of times on gunpla OP threads, (which i bought with my honorable and hard earned money, mind you).
So no more plamo, video-games and anime, no more 4chan until i move out to live on my own. (I seriously doubt i can quit them all until that)

welp fuck, writing out my angry is terapeutic, im so tired that i wont even bother to finish it nor reread my own writing. Maybe i should start writing a book instead of posting my blog on 4chan.

So yeah, good bye ya all, hopefully its one less burden for this thread. At very worse i managed to quit building models and will keep browsing 4chan. At very good ill be able to stop bringing shame to my family and spend my time and money to live out by myself.

Hope i won't be back to check for replies.

Not that guy, what's leveling thinner composed of?
I can't find any of those brand name supplies anywhere where I live

>>13954512
It's thinner with retarder mixed in. It slows down the drying time of the paint. Giving the paint a chance to level itself when painted

>>13954513
What kind of retarder? Glycerol?

>>13954514
That i'm not sure. Different paints, different retarders. I know Mr Leveling Thinner is lacquer, so it's more potent.

>>13954519
Yeah, some kind of Alcohol I'm pretty sure possibly Isopropyl, but don't quote me.

Duel, cause I wouldn't.

Destiny would be my choice if I didn't have the RG

>>13954555

I don't have the destiny RG but i'd like to modify the proportions so the MG is more like the metal build, getting the DM isn't really a choice

>>13954558
>wait you say get the duel because you wouldn't personally get it?
I should've said didn't. It's probably my favorite Seed MS with freedom in second, Destiny being my favorite from both shows together, but I just didn't want to get it in 1/100 cause it'd be bigger than the RG Destiny. Kinda weird I know, but eh.

Ah thanks, I just noticed the kneecaps have a bit of excess on them, I was going to give it a look over before coating it.

Is there a knockoff set of RG destiny WoL anyone knows of? Pbandai is too expensive, let alone the markup scalpers have

You should do some panel lines too before coating it.

good job, little critique; it looks a bit busy with the shields and mace slapped on the back, also i think it would be more aesthetically pleasing if both shoulders were barby's round shoulders

>>13953761
are those shoulder boosters from that newer red warrior gundam kit? looks pretty sweet, i would only switch out the head to some other gm, like a jegan or pale rider or even the elf bullock head would look sweet here.

>>13954020
That's Seven Sword/G.
The G is the gunblade and was added later.

>>13954059
I have both 00 and Archer.
Her manual says you can remove her binders and add them to other kits. It works on the 00.

>>13954955

I hope its an Ex-S

For paintless builds, should I panel line then topcoat, or panel line on top of the coat? Then top-coat again I suppose

AC kits are higher priced because they are fucking hueg. theres a lot of materials, gimmicks, and design going into a kit. they are also rarer than gundam so unless you get it from a nip store its going to be overpriced. expect to pay close to 60 a kit on average.

>>13955408
Just looked this up. Didn't get something tho; so after you make the cast of the pieces, then what next? How do you turn the flimsy and hollow styrene pieces into a solid kit? And how do you scribe details into the styrene if it's that thin?
Or I might be dumb and misunderstanding something.

>>13955433
You cut the newly casted part up to create perfect fitting layered parts which you glue onto the original piece which is what gives the parts that multiple layered look.

guys is there an easy way to clean up ink? its a real hassle doing it with a cotton bud and alcohol. i tried using domex on my parts but it only cleans up acrylic paint

>>13955335
that's a HG right? Airbrush got a good deal on both of the original Unicorn Destroys.

>>13955395
I'm really craving a HG Zeta but I want to wait for the REVIVE.

>>13955553
I imagine a Revive Zeta will happen at some point, so just wait for the moment..

>>13955478
please dont tell me you are using a sharpie

>>13951238
I need your armor plates, your paints and your screwdriver

what am I looking at.

>>13955652
Where'd you buy the Rensoho? I don't even care about boatgirls, but I've been meaning to get one since an anon posted theirs in here.

>>13955652
Do you think you'll be making that kit soon? I've been thinking about getting one myself.

>>13955672
>>13955677
Possibly, I kind of want to finish the Layzner first but I can't imagine this will take much time. I usually import my shit, but they're $15 on Amazon Prime at the moment.

>>13955679
Holy shit, that's almost no markup compared to importing it from Japan and paying for shipping. Thanks anon.

>>13955693
No problem, be warned though, it only comes with two gray runners. So if you plan on having things colored then it will require a little bit of work, but I can imagine the kit looking fine OOB.

>>13955711
Is the floatie ring red, white or grey?

>>13955720
Grey, that's the only major painting that needs to be done imo and it shouldn't be that hard.

>>13955722
Thought so, simple job then.

Tell me about it. What techniques are you using?

>>13955872
You paint?

Also, the shield needs some cleaning up, left foot and crest as well.

Daily reminder to not only ignore the retard but anybody who replies to him

>>13955872
I'm scribing lines around the area of where the color goes, and hen filling in the area with black paint.

The vulcans are damn near impossible to do unless you have paint brush, and I forgot to apply color apps before placing some stickers down

>>13955746

Found his second critical mistake.

Don't reply to him, he's our attention-seeking village idiot.

>>13955995
Wow. Why are you guys a bunch of bullies?

Now that all my savings are gone, it's time for a new start. Already set my eyes for an HMM Geno Saurer, but which of the three should I get? Are they just all the same kit?

The "cleaned my fucking nubs" method

>>13955222
No idea who the fuck you were talking with. The point, you idiot, isn't having a topcoat or not, it's knowing if panel line have a better finish if painted on the bare plastic or some topcoat.

>>13956151
depends, if you're using a panel wash then i would do gloss top coat to make it flow easier then flat topcoat on top of that. for something like gundam marker/pencil/real touch marker i would just do it over plastic then flat top coat

>>13956162
Thank you for the tips.

vanishing gundam is proving to be quite dated

>>13954463
I like the regular ReZel more, but if you can't wait the GR variant has a nice color scheme

>>13956274
I put in my order early after that. I'll just wait.

I grabbed the Zeta Plus, so that should keep me entertained for the time being.
