Which one should I buy this month?

Do we really need a new thread now? The old one's only on page 7.

>>14196886
Berkut.

It's probably a kneejerk reaction threadpost in response to the other thread, not every anon that makes the thread knows the unspoken rule of "wait until page 9 or 10" and we don't have toot in here making the threads for us all the time anymore either.

>>14197118

I'm still working on it but I've had other projects with deadlines. I will finish it in the next few weeks, I have the white and silver parts down I just need to do the masking and the dark parts.

Good luck, Anon!

I can't post my favourite one as I don't have any pics, but of the 10 HGs I've built so far I really, really, like my Victory. It's just so... neat, yet simple.

Does anyone know where i can get extra MG stickers? not decals, but the sticker sheet.

>>14197605

I legitimately don't think I've seen this asked before

You might try posting your country and what kit you need, someone might have a spare if they used decals

>>14197628
Singapore, if anyone has the stickers for the MG Quanta's circular areas beneath the clear green parts i'll be willing to buy it from you.
It looks really good but i dont have them anymore

>>14197581
i have a bottle of Model Masters acryl "flat" topcoat and model masters gloss that I was going to try to paintbrush on..is that a bad idea?

>>14197644

>>14197572

>crim law exam

Godspeed, anon

>>14197657
maybe in the future, but as i am right now there's no way i can beat the perfect circle and printed words it has

>>14197653

that is really a tough call yeah

cans would be the best for you, but if I had to topcoat a kit without an airbrush I would do a gloss finish with Future for sure. Future has insane leveling properties and is one of the best at hiding brush strokes. Lots of jet guys and car guys just literally DUNK their whole clear parts, shake them off and then leave them alone and it's all good. You can brush it pretty well for that reason. So if you can get future I would do that. You have to LEAVE IT ALONE though, no matter what, even if it looks like it's getting hazy or whatever. Put it under a box top too so it doesn't get dusty.

If you have to use what you've got I would do a lot of practice first.

Been meaning to ask you, where did you get that shield?

>>14197789
the extra parts came in vol 14 of some unicorn manga I bought from HLJ like 5 months ago or so

Epoxy isn't that great for sculpting anyway. There's a transition gap between working with clay or wax and working with epoxy. Epoxy is much stickier and cures quickly which has messed a lot of people up.

Why can't you get epoxy anyway?

I'm more excited for the Auge, personally. KOG will probably reuse the same dated Mirage frame as the LED and Terror and so it'll be a lot less stable than newer releases. Auge will be a 100% new tooling from the ground up, and probably won't cost nearly as much as KOG because it has no gold plating.

I think it will probably be like how Bandai went about making the Hyaku Shiki 2.0's gold parts, so not so much plating as is spraying. All the pictures I see of the old resin kit this was based off of have that same gold color. But it will still cost a lot because of the gold.

They'll probably give you a metal rod to stick in their backpack like they did for LED Mirage. I don't see why Auge needs a stand since the weight distribution will be balanced by its huge flat feet.

Here's hoping we get a proper Junchoon someday to replace that shitty old Wave kit.

Pro tip in Japan
Grab item
Hand to cashier
Hand more or exact amount of yens
Collect left over yens from bowl by the register
Grab the bag that your plastic toy now inhabits and leave.

Never once do you have to talk.
If you feel like you should or like to pretend that you do go in this order and nod a lot.
"Ikura des ka?"
"Kore kudasai "
" Domo "

And done, you were even polite.

For your sanity in the future, tamiya now makes a curveable/bendable masking tape that is supposed to work pretty well.

>>14198166
Cheap paint is cheap because it has low pigment resulting in less vibrant color. Depending on the formula is also may not adhere or level well.

You can still use it, but there are better paints than cheap craft store paints.

I've got a question for you guys regarding the 1/144 System Weapon kits...
Can anybody find the more obscure ones for less than $20 a pop in the US (i.e. NOT 001 and 002, and the double-bazooka kit)? These things are priced more heavily than crack according to Amazon and Ebay.

A long time ago, I got a pair of extra antiship swords for the PG strike by writing an email to Bandai (or was it HLJ?) and asking if they had the specific parts in stock. Since Dalong scans the manuals it shouldn't be too hard to find the parts you need.

Though it might be wise not to get too greedy, they'll probably frown at you if you ask for 500 Sinanju bazookas.

>>14199503
Looked there and even found one, but the guy ran out in supply to build a whole beam magnum.

>>14199505
Heh, nah. I'm just looking to buy a single Beam Magnum from the Unicorn Ver. Ka kit and (with the idea popping up in my head) MG Gouf heat sword and shield.

>>14199424
I'm the guy that was asking about the Pale Rider, I don't want to spam your inbox because I'm sure you're getting plenty of emails although probably less than you were during christmas
Is that a good number for kits, or are you looking for people to get larger numbers like 10+ before you entertain them?

Finally "finished" this guy. So how badly did I fuck up this model?

Idk why, but I'm not really feeling the boots. Maybe if I went pure black, or black instead of the bright red?

On a side note, if I dull coat the clear parts of the Unicorn Destroy mode, will that ruin the effect with fogginess?

>>14199627
I think it turned out really damn good honestly. Silver paint on the axe could have been a bit cleaner, but hey everything else looks really damn solid.

>>14199648

What part of the ankles? You mean the side bits? again, I was just following the color separation the kit had, and just made light red for the light blue parts, and dark red for the dark blue parts. The feet just feel off entirely to me for some reason?

question: how ould one go designing a custom suit? Where would you start designing it? Or if you already knew what you wanted, is there some good line art to mix and match to make it easier to see how it looks?

>>14199718

Well how could you mix and match lineart to make a custom suit?

Surely you don't mean just jamming a bunch of parts together. That's just what they called customs to sell extra build fighters kits.

The MG Buster is great, a mostly solid kit. Trim the ball joints on the cannon arms though, the default fit has been super tight on the three kits I've seen built (including my own) and on one occasion caused the pegs to snap.

>>14199844
Would the ground gundam/EZ8 really count as a true gundam though? It's not a single off shoot prototype with immense power. It's also mass produced.

>>14199917
But Ez8 is a single off shoot with (slightly) greater power. Ground Gundams are Gundams, although they're literally worse than GMs. Victories and F91s were mass-produced so that can't exclude them.

>>14199937
>literally worse than GMs
Are they, though?

In the extras Karen took a cannon shot square to the chest and was back in action shortly after. They even explicitly comment on how tough their armor is.

>>14199917
Isn't the Ez8 just a repaired Ground Gundam

>>14199958
The armor is all. Just look at their acceleration stats. They'd never be able to pull off an assisted jump like the Gundam or GMs and as shown in the show they're not particularly mobile, whereas the GM is almost as good as the Gundam pre-MC coating

>>14199958
They have luna titanium thanks to being made from leftover project V parts. In all other aspects they are supposed to be lower performance due to needing to use limiters to make their random project V parts work together properly while the ground GM benefited from newly built parts designed to work together without the limiters.

When Shiro's ground gundam was repaired into EZ-8 it actually got a small performance upgrade thanks to incorporating some spare GM parts.

>>14199958
GMs are better in literally every other way. Mobility, flight, generator power, beam weapons (which make armor basically useless). I'm talking real GMs, not Early Types or [G]s, although I think those are refined in different ways they aren't as good.

what if there was kankolle

but it was zeek aqua ms

>>14197984
>>14197990
What triggers me about this is that it looks blatantly like their strike mold. Sure, the Strike Noir is an upgrade of the original Strike but it looks different in some areas. The chest and random parts such as the ankle armor look totally off

I've been to hardware stores. the place I got my hobby knife set. I had them special order my sheers. I have my panel lining pens in the mail. but the fucking sand paper is killing me.

>>14200793
400 is only to mill away anything above the plastic line very, very gingerly; from there it's a smoothing process with higher grits. I suggest 1000 to smooth, 1500-2000 (possibly a coffee filter after that if you're autistic about scratches) to buff scratches out.

Well, the Clan Nova had the arms mounted on the legs, which were mounted to the body. It couldn't torso twist, which was a big weakness.

Does anyone have lineart for the Sinanju Stein? The Fabgeese gave me an idea of how to paint one.

>>14201238
Just remember, dont use florescent paint. That shit is the worst. I'm actually thinking about throwing that fucker back in the box and forgetting it in a closet.

Really gay-ass jaundice.

>>14201290
I think you should be proud of it. I'll heed your advice about the fluorescent paint, though.

>>14201290
I thought the whole point of the fabgeese was to look awful.

Just tried out doing a panel wash on some spare pieces, I either ended up removing a bit too much of it or a little too much stayed on. Should I just lower my expectations on getting a perfect result or just get more patience?

hi guys, I am new to this and I want to start painting a few kits.

I'm going to use tamiya spray cans for this and got alligator clips and whole lot of other things prepared. What I am confused is, do i spray each individual part I want painted first then assemble? or do I assemble first then paint on top?

>>14201630
You can do it either way, but it's generally easier to paint each piece. If you mask certain areas then it's fine to do it at once, and sometimes it's even required if a kit has bad seam lines that are fixed

Reborns Cadenza and G-Snowscore, another Symphogear custom.
Some of you may remember me naming the Chris on the right G-Soft, but my wife suggested Snowscore as a reference to her surname (Yukine: "sound of snow).

I recolored the huge blade recently while finishing Chris. I wanted the blade to have a bit more yellow, but now it has too much yellow. Don't think it's a problem worth fixing again, though.

You're only bad if you leave nubs

>>14202233
Nah, nothing wrong with not painting. Not everything has to be customized. You really should shave off the nubs though. And panel washing/lining will make a kit look A LOT better, even if its not painted.

>>14202753
In planning, using Build Burning as the base (minus the head, which I'll salvage from another suit).
The only items left undecided are:

1. The shoulders. All-white would be more accurate to the source design, but the black version on the right feels better as a robot design. Opinions, criticisms, please?

2. Rear skirt. BBG's is just too plain. Probably gonna go through my spare parts box and see if I can mash up something decent.

3. The pilebunker gauntlets. I went all out went making the main weapons for Maria and Chris, and Hibiki deserves the same. Currently looking at the lower arms of HG Origin Mobile Worker.

HOLY FUCK THOSE ARE PERFECT.

Also, you're the one making the Shenshou Jing Stargazer? The legs on it (I believe you said AGE-2's?) really look the part.

That God Gundam is neat, too. Paint looks a bit thick but your color distribution is beautiful.

>>14202932
Could you post more pics of that God please?

>>14202943
Yeah, Shenshou Gazer is just a Stargazer with a modded AGE-1 head and AGE-2 feet leftover from an AGE-2 Artimes. The Double Bullet kit comes with the feet part for AGE-2 Normal so I just made some holes in the Stargazer's legs and puttied them into place.

Shining Gungnir was the first Geardam I made, even before Transient Gungnir. It was before I had proper skills in nub removal, masking, and especially hand painting. It's a bit of a mess honestly, and I'm probably gonna make a new Hibiki eventually. The original idea was to use the Super Mode head for Berserk Mode, but I might move on to a God/Build Burning kitbash and go for the scarf instead.

Now what excuse to fit "Synchro" into the name?

>>14203022
Synchro Jingazer?

So are Tamiya clippers worth the price? Im using some cheap $10 but somewhat good clippers from a craft store.

These clippers still don't work that well, Im right now testing them on some unused brown sprues and they leave white marks and not very smooth nubs. I don't know if its because Im not using them right or if this is normal.

>>14203161
Cheap-ass clippers pinch the plastic, leaving stress marks everywhere. Premium nippers actually cut the runners, so there's less stress left behind. And less nubs flying off into the abyss.

>>14203161
You're not supposed to cut all the way down, you're supposed to leave a small nub and then sand it or remove it with a hobby knife.

Cool, Ill need to get them.

But another question I have, is SPN-120 godhand truly worth its price?

hey has anyone here tried painting those clear eyes from 00 gundam kits with clear paint ? I just painted mine but I can barely see its eyes without shining a light behind it to reveal the eyes will using gloss coat or future solve the visibility problem?

Well, this is where I know I must be doing something wrong with the knife.I do often cut far away from the edge leaving a fairly large nub left.

After cutting that off, im left with a nub like pic related, but often cutting that off with the knife results in a gouge mark. Ive been trying to learn to use sand paper to avoid this, but im wondering if its possible at all to use a knife for it.

Is the HG Red Warrior worth it? Or should I just go for the MG

>>14203235
Always use a sharp knife blade and apply force, using the adjacent flat surfaces as a guide, towards the edge. That is to say, towards the usual seam or part edge.

>>14203235
knives always leave slight marks.

For best looking but time intensive results, trim, then file, then go through the grits. something like 600, 1000, 2000.
I have 1500 grit sanding sponges I got on ebay that i like and Walmart sells high grit 3M in the automotive section.
If you prime+paint, you dont need that high of a finish.

>>14203259
I enjoyed it alot for being a hg.

Just a heads up, hlj has gn archer in stock ATM. Not sure for how long though.

What are your experiences with Daban?

Worked on detailing graze some more. Started adding these flap things to the reactor thing on the back similar to grimgerde and the gundams. They need a little cleaning up and I need to finish the bit at the top but otherwise I think it's off to a good start.

Guh, I told myself I had bought enough Gunpla, but I jumped on the GN Archer bandwagon.

Whaddya think?

>>14203814

Not unless you have every other tool you could need first

>>14203978
If you're going with white as the base color, it's better to decide on which color comes second, third, and so on.
As it is now, the blue, red, and yellow have equal distribution, so they sort of blur each other out.

At least that's what I think.

Thanks dude! Still working on it.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good decals?

Sup /m/ates. So I'm new to the whole Gunpla hobby so I got here to ask some questions cause I'm inexperienced in this hobby.....and bored atm. So, for my forst Gunpla I've ordered the RG MK.II Titans Ver. and the 00 Raiser (both on their way) and also today I've ordered the HG Barbatos 1st form. What's your opinion about these three kits? Oh and also I'm thinking of customizing the barbatos, so any help to get me started is appreciated.

>>14204142
I'm not sure, I cut that off on mine

>>14204252
Pretty much all of the RGs are great besides the GP01 and the Zeta and the Barbatos is a good kit but it requires a lot of extra effort to look show accurate

>>14204308
I'm thinking of a custom build for the barbatos. Do you have any reccomendations on a customizing guide???

>>14204382
You have to come up with an idea yourself. After that it's a question of whether your skills can pay the bills.

>>14204252
>So, for my first Gunpla I've ordered the RG MK.II Titans Ver. and the 00 Raiser (both on their way)

Both of them are among the best RGs, so you're good there. If you're inexperienced I would recommend building the HG Barbatos first though, just to get the hang of it.

>>14204409
I meant reccomending a place where I can find some customizing techniques.

>>14204308
do you have a GP01 or are you just parroting what other people have said

>>14204474
Coincidentally my opinion aligns with others, but I only have the Zephyranthes and I doubt the FB is substantially different

>>14204491
>>14204474
I have a GP01Fb; the most fragile part is the torso (hurr core fighter durr), but everything else is solid.

Where are you guys getting your line art??

So as I was doing some priming yesterday, I was about 1:30 - 2 hours in, and I kept getting a huge amount of condensation built up in the hose and brush. Anyone have suggestions on what to do? Do I need to go buy another moisture trap to put in line with the hose? Is there a certain brand I should be looking for? It's happened a few times and it's really frustrating. Suggestions?
