Anyway, what'cha workin' on, anons?

>>13981638
I'm trying to finish an hg dark hound just mixed the dark grey paint, maybe I'll finish it this weekend or the next one

>>13981638
I finished prepping a Nemo for priming, now I just need to buy a new can of primer.

I also need to stop putting off painting the last third of my Catsith.

>>13981638
Just finished the kit int eh OP, not working on anything right now and thinking of taking a short break from modeling.

>>13981638
Finishing up white wolf zaku 2. I don't think I'll do painting or panel lining just yet but I'll be working on Bernie's Zaku afterwards.

>>13981638
Graze Kai II Ryusei-go, Grimgerde, and Graze Space Colors just arrived. Gonna be working on them during the weekend.

Doing the panel lining on my Turn A and taking silly pictures while I take breaks. I've never done this before so I can tell I'm making mistakes, but I think it looks alright and I'm having fun.

Reminder.

Do not respond to snapshit. Report him when he avatarfags, we'll get him banned eventually.

>>13981779
Just do them, pussy.

Remember, man, they're just HGs. Plow right through if you have to. I just wrapped up my MG V2 ver. Ka and I kinda want to kill myself. To be clear, I mean that I just finished up the lower body of the kit, as the upper body & arms, as well as the two core fighters, were not that bad. Final assembly, and that fucking waist section, were brutal.

>haul came in
>HG Kyrios, Arios, RX-78-2, and Fenice
>MG Zaku II 2.0 White Ogre
>Can't touch them until spring break which is in 2 weeks.

>>13981785
Lighting is meh, so I don't really see any issues.

You using gundam marker or something else? Gray for the white bits, but black for the blue parts. I don't think there's anything to line on the red or yellow..... If you're using gundam marker, just clean up any excess with a cotton swab or your fingers. A bit of spit will help if it's started to dry.

>>13981959
I'm using gundam marker, grey on white and black on the blue. All I have left at this point is the arms, I think I'm doing okay. Really I'm just struggling to find a pressure/thickness that looks right, but that's just part of learning.

Should I use black on any darker colored parts? Turn X, for example, is a weird sort of inbetween light and dark green. Would I want black for that?

>>13981977
Honestly, I find that if you're cleaning up afterwards, pressure is more about waste than anything else. Then again, you may want a thicker line than I do.

At this point, my lining has been exclusively with gray and black, so I have no idea about the Turn X.

>>13981977
>turn x

a dark green sharpie + cotton buds + something that'll wipe off sharpie + microfibre cloth

Currently snapshitting the Dragon Momoko MG Destiny MB.

Holy shit, you really need to file the connectors on EVERYTHING because the fit is so tight they'll cause stress marks. The polycaps on the knees were deformed out of the box (only half of it was molded).

I paid $40 for it so I am not really disappointed since it looks really good.

>>13981977
Cool colors are darkened by blue
Warm colors are darkened by brown
This works on shading and panel limning.

>>13982035
A sharpie? Really? Go ahead... try it... then tell me if you can wipe it off.

>>13982108
Isopropyl alcohol wipes it clean off 100%.

>>13982115
I've always seen that Sharpie is permanent, no mater the rubbing or other chemicals.
Never used it, only going off of the experience of others.
However, it does seem to be a bit too sharp of a contrast to be effective. But this can be subjective.

How easy would it be to make those dino hand from the new bara kit into arms

>buh buh but freshly applied

He's gonna use it for panel lining, you goof.

>>13982275
Well I stand corrected.

Panel lining should be an accent, sharpie is pretty high for contrast.
But like said, it's subjective.

So when's next big event for gunpla announcements? Feels like we're dripping what's left of the known kits plus the few being released along side IBO so it won't spoil much.

I just hope system weapons hasn't been cancelled that sries has a lot of possibility left still. Same with other option parts stuff. Some actually new thunderbolt kits get released now that they're being animated, next few revives, rgs for rest year etc.

>>13982393
next weekend iirc

I might just paint this thing since there's a lot of the metallic glitter they used in the plastic making marble effects on the surface.. Its really obvious on the blue parts.

>>13982696
Is that gouge mark on the blue hand armor part of the design?

>>13981638
Latest thing I was working on was painting a GM in standard white/red colors to get more practice in using an airbrush. I got frustrated and kinda just left it alone until recently though because no matter how many coats I used, the parts stayed the same primer grey instead of going white.

The yellows and reds turned out fine, albeit darker than I anticipated, but the white coats just.. never worked.
Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? Did I mess up my paint/thinner ratio since I'm still trying to get the hang of it? Was it a problem with my airbrush?

>>13982721

Try and give him a yellow beak and belly. Maybe brown or black lining.

Green or brown "shell" armour with green arms and legs. Maybe yellow fingers if you are feeling really hardcore.

I don't know if it's Blaster has a opening muzzle that kind of peeks out but that could almost be a turtle too.

For fucks sake my airbrush wasn't playing ball, PSI too low and paint just fluffs out, PSI a little higher and it spiders and scatters.

I had to be ultra super precise with the pressure and amount of trigger and it still made for a shitty job, even when I cleaned the fuck out of all the parts.

Since when did Barnes and Noble start having Gunpla display cases? I saw that at one a couple days ago and thought it was rad.

>>13984288
1) Astrays are ugly
2) Different angles are always going to invoke different images
3) Sometimes gunpla isn't anime accurate - this drastically undermines the value of lineart when creating designs
4) of course it looks different when the creator can't even follow their own pattern. A number of sections are different between the right and left images.

Finished my Graze!

Learned the hard way that as sanding the fuck outta points of contact prior to painting the inner frame is necessary to preserving it.

Also gonna have to pick up on seam welding in the future, although I think I may hold off on it until I get more confident in my masking ability.

Last time I ever saw the frame like this, it's a mess underneath now, and I'm not sure I want to repaint shit. It's a shame too because I detailed the rivets and was really proud of it.

You know that feeling that you want to buy something and eventually that kit becomes uninteresting for you because you don't have money to buy it?

Spay cans are a pretty okay choice if you don't want to invest in an airbrush. Just hold the can a few inches away, go for nice, even passes, and wait for it to dry and stuff.

I did the red on this Sinanju with a Tamiya spray can. Didn't do the inner frame because the joints were tight as all hell.

Thank you, I used an airbrush, never used spray cans so I can't comment but I imagine it'd use the same principals as an airbrush just do light coats and you oughta do fine. It'd probably be more unwieldy and expensive in the long run though.

>>13984904
>>13984905
How expensive are those kit if you buy them in store?

>>13984911
I bought a 1/144 freedom gundam for $22

>>13984911

I bought the RG 00 Raiser for about $30 bucks. So, not too terribly bad.

>>13984911
I don't think Barnes and Noble prices the HGs and RGs differently, but from what I remember the Fenice Rinascita was around $54. There was also a RG 00 Raiser and an HG Amazing Red Warrior hidden on the bottom shelf there.

There's just something about going into a store and picking up a box of Gunpla.

to all those people who buy theirs online, I would recommend visiting a hobby shop at least once even if their prices are ass. It's how they can turn a profit

>>13984904
> spider-wrapping the single biggest box there
I'm sure it's some regulation like objects over a certain value but under a certain size get it regardless but holy shit wat. How are you going to just walk out with a box like that?

>>13985143
It's company policy. Anything over a certain value gets spider wrapped and possibly put on the shelves behind the checkout counter. You would actually be surprised by what people have managed to get away with stealing. People can't watch the door all the time and there are tricks to not setting off the alarm.

It's also to prevent people from opening the box and stealing the contents since the way they work is that you can't slide them off or stress them too much without setting off the alarm.

>>13985143
That's actually how the Moaning Lisa was stolen the first time. A dood just walked in, picked it up, then walked out with it.

>>13985130
WTF? I have to buy overpriced merchandise just so that a store can turn a profit... Why exactly?

>>13985167
I remember this one thing from the training videos. This couple stole tens of thousands of dollars in merchandise from B&N and it took a long ass time before they were caught. Their preferred method was to come in with a baby carriage with a blanket draped over it like the kid inside was sleeping, except it was empty. They'd load it up while no one was looking, then the wife would take it into the bathroom to remove all the security tags and stickers from everything, then just stroll out of the store.

>>13985194
>not supporting your local businesses

>>13984904
>>13984905

The stores receive most of them pre-built and are encouraged to build one themselves for the display. IIRC if it has a MG Fenice then an employee built it.

>>13985167
>>13985198
It's obscene how much loss there is in retail. Hell, I remember one time I was out at the grocery store, some guy barely got caught with a pair of spiral hams stuffed in his pants. Not exactly small hams either.

Has anyone got any of the IBO Character Stand Plate yet? I don't really understand them; are they like Action Display stands? Or just bases for them.

>>13985204
Oh, that's neat.

>>13985264
Why would anyone pay more for something they can get cheaper online?

>>13985265
They're action-bases. Come with an arm and shit.

Apparently they're reasonably sturdy on their own (probably because of the wider overall base) compared to the regular 1/144 bases. They also interlock like other action bases. Also, I just realized what you do with the non-pilots. They're spacers. Stick a Kudelia, Atra, and Orga in between Mika, McGillis, and Gali Gali when making your diorama.

>>13985271
>doesn't understand micro-economics
So, basically, people spend money and the people who got the money spend their money. Hopefully. When you send money elsewhere, it exits your economic system. While you are part of a national {and international} economic system, you are also part of a series of more local economic cycles. Buying locally, even if it's a bit more money, enriches the place where you live as opposed to the places you don't.

Now comes the part where say you were pretending to be retarded this entire time.

Because, in the long run, it turns out better for everyone. Yourself included.

>>13985290
Convenience fee, that's the way I see it. My local hobbytown has normally 10 dollar HG kits for the same amount if I used ems.

>>13984911
My local stores prices HGs a few dollars more than the JP sales price but it's not that big of a deal since you get it right then an there.

>>13985301

>>13985290
Well online shopping and trading is killing off retail right now for that very reason right now. I take it you must be a little younger to not have noticed the vast amount of retail shops closing down because of shit like Amazon

>>13985290
I'm willing to spend a few extra bucks if it means I can pick up my gunpla right there instead of having to wait weeks for it to arrive. Hell, I could probably get everything I'll ever need for this online, but I still go to my local hobby store because it's convenient, I like to browse the collection of kits/paints/supplies, and the owner is a swell guy.

>>13985290
Paying a couple bucks more than what you would normally get online is like purchasing with expedited shipping except you can start building the same day of purchase.

I want to see you order a kit with 1 day shipping from Japan and tell me how much out of the ass you're paying!

>>13985275
So the arm is for 1/144 by default? that's pretty chill. Was kinda hoping they had a 1/100 McGillis one.

Some kits are really bad at standing up; typical reasons are lack-luster joints (definitely an issue on some older designs) and being back-heavy. Not sure if my RG Zetas could stand on their own, but I don't want to risk it.

But yeah, nice thing about the bases is that you can interlock them. The Chara stand plates also have at least 6 slots so you have a lot of variety in deciding how you'll orient your gunpla. Then again, they have to so people aren't forced to put characters on weird angles to get the poses they want. If you're interested, here's a review of one.

>>13985374
The overall design of the Gelgoog is fine, it's just the body that's awful. Thankfully, the Gelgoog Jager fixes that.

>>13985374
What's wrong with the gelgoog? Sure it's a little boring, and it looks like it's wearing a one piece lady's swimsuit and carries a boogie board. I guess it's face kind of looks like Alf. But other tha those things what's wrong with it?

Partly it's because it's where Zeon aesthetics finally met proper beam tech in the show. It was the suit Char used before Zeong and was a fair rival for the Gundam for a bit there, plus it's what he had at Texas and in the iconic Lalah battle. It looks mean and has a reputation for being tough. But at the same time, pretty much any variant of it improves the design in some fashion.

Two questions for this thread:

Between enamel or acrylics, which one is best to use on painting inner frames without making the plastic brittle? (in b4 airbrushed lacquers)

For general sanding work on plastics, should I use P95 or N95 masks? ( I have a P100 respirator but it's too clunky wearing it spending a couple hours at the desk. I don't mind when going outside to spray though. )

>>13986389
It's called priming and coat management champ. You can use any paint really, it just comes do to how properly it's prepared and applied

We have two very small ones, and one of them does stock a few gunpla.
It's on the exact opposite side of the country though, and it's not worth the travel time and costs to buy a kit for up to 4 times it's retail price online and in Japan.

I always tape the decals down so they dont move, then get a coin to apply pressure. You should be able to see the decal move of the sheet. Then lift up half the tape and see if it worked, if not fold it back down and keep using that coin.

It's not all nostalgia though. The grunt designs are solid and generally stick to simple, grounded concepts rather than going all themed-monster-of-the-week or multi-tool clusterfuckery. There's a beauty, an elegance, and a consistency to them. Yes, having a boxy mech only sport a rifle or maybe a beam saber can feel generic, but there's something more authentic in that.

The same applies to the Gundams to some degree - they're more colorful and thematic, but they pick a gimmick, stick to it, and manage to remain stylish.

It's rather like Kabuto or IBO - the mechanical aspects shine, while the rest of the show is a repetitive stream of prancing showponies spouting stiff dialogue.

When I build I usually don't do anything else, except maybe turn background music on to tune everything else out. I guess in a way it's still relaxing, but not because it's lethargic, but because you can focus on one thing for a while.

>>13987494
It really depends on experience and investment to find it relaxing. If you're inexperienced or spent a lot of money and time on a model, you'll be afraid of unfixable mistakes while building. I know I was super tense building my first kit, but after it was done I was satisfied, even if it was a nubby, terribly-lined, poorly-stickered mess.

>>13987658
>I know I was super tense building my first kit
I remember my first kit I kept going "Oh that's interesting" when like the legs or arms attached. It took me like 8 hours straight to build my first kit.

>>13987268
what gundam is that?

>>13985143
Not gonna lie, when I was 16 and broke I would just walk into major retail stores, grab the biggest box I can run with and just casually walk out the store.

It's disgustingly easy to get away with that kind of thing as long as you act cool.

>>13987793
Even if you are noticed most chain stores will do nothing and will actively tell their employees not to confront or chase after a shop lifter.

Some douche I went to highschool with said he stole two fishing poles from Walmart once. Stuck them down his pant legs and walked out of the store wadling like a moron with workers giving him funny looks.

>>13988118
Hmmm. They're on some sort of pivot...

>>13988085
If it's the shitty 90s kits with polycap hands then to replace them you will need to do modding. Modern balljoint hands won't fit them.

Otherwise there's the mentioned build knuckle hands, the builders parts detail up hands, and articulated third party hands like hobby base makes.

>>13988135
They're literally the same same hands as the Build Burning with a different back of the hand

>>13988135
As idiotic as Sekai is, the Build Burning has some excellent articulation and a wide plethora of hands to choose from.

I guess we have Sei to thank for that.

How much would you anons pay for summer campaign parts? I've got a whole bunch in a box somewhere that I was thinking of selling, not sure how much to put it up for though. Last time I checked eBay, some sellers were selling up to $10 each but that seems kind of overkill.
What do you all think is a decent price for them?

Hg Zabanya + the first two IBO weapon sets.

The way he attached the missile launcher to the shoulder is genius. He took a graze side skirt and used it as an adapter part.

Man I wish I was creative enough to do something like this.

Fuck me that looks cool. Also looks like the AC from the cover of Nexus.

Does anyone know if Tamiya synthetic spray paints are ok to use on gunpla?

I'm disappointed. I hoped I'd see some ideas on what others do for makeshift rear skirts (it's a problem on a custom I'm working on now).

I've been to several B&N looking for my gunpla fix and they're either don't have them or it's full of one or two kits. The one near me has a fuckton of Try Burnings and petite Bearrguys.

The ones that do have gunpla all have the same thing: terribad display of models.

Sometimes I wish I could volunteer to build one for better display

How do I deal with stress marks and naturally shaky hands that make using the hobby knife a real chore?

>>13988409
>Sometimes I wish I could volunteer to build one for better display
So why don't you then? I once built kits for display for my FLHS. But they discontinued selling gunpla to focus on YuGayShit and Fagic: The Gayening. It was a tragedy, to say the least, but hey at least I got my kits back.

So give it a try. Just find a manager and be all like "Hey bro, I build gunpla. I can make some awesome looking kits for you guys to dislay that'll improve sales."

>>13988416
>naturally shaky hands
Smoke some weed.

>stress marks
Paint is honestly the only way to get rid of stress marks/scuffs.

>>13988416
Ultimately just tried and true practice and patience anon.

Just keep at it and you'll improve, getting comfortable with your tools is a part of any craft.

>>13987983
Elizabeth has a few VAs attributed to him/her/it, and Furuya is one of them

>>13988441
>>13988452
A medical condition causes the shaky hands, so I guess weed or practice won't help much.
At least I won't spam images of my horribly painted, dalong-lined kits here unlike some people who don't even have the decency to line theirs.

>>13988480
There's some techniques for shakey hands that might help such as learning how to balance your wrists on a table, using two hands, etc though I'm sure you're already aware.

Just practice and experiment it's a hobby, the whole point is to relax and enjoy it for what it is. That shit gets lost here way too often (granted you're right about the amount of spamming shitters here like he who shall not be named)

>>13988480
You'd be surprised at what some decent kush can do for you. If you don't mind me asking, what state are you in? Cause if you're in a legalized state, you can get some medical herb to help with the shaky hands. And if not well... Why not move to Oregon anon? We have some great cities, great small towns, we're far north that our summers aren't crazy hot, and we're right on the Pacific Coast.

The only down side being that winter and spring are rather harsh and cold. Too cold to paint most days.

>>13988480
I can't help much but I've got sweaty and shaky hands so I run into the same issue quite often. My advice would be to only use the knife to cut the nub so it's almost entirely gone, but so that there's still a little bit left. Then get some high grit sandpaper, I'm talking 1000 - 6000, then just sand the hell out of that baby (and the higher grit you go the longer you'll have to sand, but it's worth it). Thumbnail press and voila - smooth without any shitty gouges from cutting too deep, any really obvious stress marks, or unsightly sanding-marks you'd get from using rougher sand paper.

>>13988212
That's it, snap building my Graze.
