Gunpla/Plamo General

What do you all think of the Tieren? Both as a kit and design. Rarely see it mentioned.

Posting my favorite Mass PRoduced Feddie suit again to see what people think..

Also, have a question. Besides the Strike Rouge and the Tieren Taozi, are there any other pink mobile suits? Pink and light blue would also work.

>>14213562
Got a space type with a mystery bag a few years ago. I like everything about the aesthetic except for the garish propellant tanks on the knees.

Probably going to use it for armor parts on other kits.

>>14213575
Something about it seems off. Like there should be panel lining on the legs.
Other than that it's pretty good. Nice mousepad too.

>>14213562
Absolutely hideous. Probably the worst suit out of 00. Pink dickbutt Tieren Taozi and the weird-ass Space-type make me wonder what they were thinking when they designed this.

>>14213581

Thanks, I tried to do some panel lining on the legs, but I used a light grey, as opposed to a darker grey or black. I'm honestly thinking about going back and doing black or at least the darker grey. Also, some of the panel lining is on the separation between the calf and the rear of the leg, so that didn't really come out very noticeable. Still gotta work on the arms though.

>>14213595

I want to say it was going for a more CBT "walking tank" type design, and then the HRL just slapped a pair of wings and verniers on it to make it airborne/spaceborne.

>>14213651
Mg comes with unicorn horns and I don't think the HG comes with either

RG Alex when??

>>14213661
is the Fix Figuration Metal Composite Phenex any good?

>>14213678
I meant the unicorn version, Phenex one is coming out in April I think.

>>14213575
Char's Zaku II.

>>14213664
I'd like an HG Revive first. It honestly needs it.

>>14213678
No idea. The only unicorn kit I have experience with is the MG, which is kind of flimsy. However, I love the fact that it has the transformation gimmick, which was the reason I got the kit.

So what are your predictions for Shizuoka?

Well I finally reached 100 orders in my private warehouse on hlj.

How do I split them up to be the cheapest possible? I want EMS.

>>14213682
It transforms.

Also it's 20000+ JPY, so approx 200 dollars + shipping.

If you want it and can afford, why not? hobbylink.tv featured the Banshee in one of their videos.

What other mobile suits are you expecting or hoping for the MSD line on the Feddie side? I love the concept but I'm not familiar with Gundam enough to know what else they could even do next.

>>14213765
Ugh, The Origin face just looks really weird.

The visor doesn't really help either as it just makes it look like its missing eyes.

For 2000 yen though there should be something very special about it?

>>14213765
Considering the RX-78 [N] didn't even exist until the announcement, who knows? I'd like to see all the ten million GM variants honestly but that's probably not happening so I'll leave it up to chance.

>>14213784
Nah, ~$20 is the average price for Origin and MSD kits, maybe a little on the higher side.

>>14213760
Put everything in one shipment to see how much it will cost

>>14213792
The Zaku kits included an assload of weapons.

To me this is a bare bones release like the Revive RX-78

>>14213792
There were ass loads of zeon grunts for MSD so far so let's hope we get some GMs.

>>14213562
Tieren looks nice and beefy. I like the High Mobility version more though.

Plus its name is literally Iron Man in Chinese.

I'm really excited for thunderbolt. it's one of the fe gundams I actually really like in recent memory.

>>14213854
But GMs don't sell.
Unless...

>>14213765
Pixie Gundam, and I'll paint in slave wraith colors if they do. But probably revive ground Gundam so they can finally revive ground GM to go along with this and the ez8s newer proportions. Then they'll revive pbandai blue destiny kits with the new gimmicks from its latest manga.

But as for msd origin feddieprobably reliable unit 4 and 5, revive Alex, or mudrock are only other one year war huge variants. It's not like GM variants had to be prototyped like gouf, Dom or gelgoog. They literally used ground GM data mixed with GM type e data to further refine the GM model from Gundam. Then used GM standard frame to utilize variants like cannon. Then for special roles or suits to counter zeons more powerful suits, maybe aces they refined their variation s of sniper custom and type e into type c, sniper 2 cold climate etc.

Now maybe well get a zanny, or other hybrid zeon to Gundam suit for the data but doubtful.

>>14213887
>an alternate realty where Casval joins the EFSF instead of the Zeon Military
How would Gundam have changed if Char was a Feddie pilot instead of a Zeon one?

>>14213896
Char be a GM piloting a red GM light armor, night seemed then intercept before his own high speed gundam. or some crazy shit. No data on gundam, no harm intercept attempt or death. Earth battles be way harder especially on American front, all those wacky amphibious mobile suits would be used to stealth jaburo but probably still fail as GM's would probably be in high tier variants if not stronger

>>14213983

Koobukiya Gigantic arms is up for reorder. It has a bunch of different forms, works with both FAGs and regular frame arms, looks good on its own, and it seems like in addition the main releases they are selling is two halves separately.

>>14214020
>Koobukiya Gigantic arms is up for reorder.

Kotobukiya* Gigantic arms is up for preorder*

I need to clean my keyboard out....

>>14214000
Char would pilot: GM Light Armor -> Night Seeker -> Interceptor -> Custom Gundam. ???? The Gravity Front would be harder to fight in than space, especially considering Zeon's amphibious MS would be sneaking into and attacking Jaburo. However they would still fail as GMs (and all the different variants) are stronger than amphibious suits.

I think.

Speaking of, there should be more love for the GM Spartan and Aqua GM. They'd be perfect around the Jaburo area. I have a hard-on for jungle/tropical and aquatic MS. Land Combat/Desert and Armored would be nice too. Or any of the tens of types that are forgotten. I just want some GM variant love.

>>14213896
Char would most likely replace Sleggar, and be the experience Feddie offier given to the White Base at Jaburo only to job at the Battle of Solomon.

>>14214033
No, see, he'd be an ace fighter pilot, but then he'd be involved in the testing process for the Project V Mobile Suits.

When the timeline reaches the events of MSG episode 1, it's probably more or less be much the same, except Char would probably back Amuro up in the RX-78-1 once things got too hairy.

Many episodes would highlight how Char manages to perform well despite the Prototype Gundam being technically inferior to Amuro's Gundam, and have him act as a sort of mentor figure to Amuro, while there would be obligatory tension between Sayla and Char because he didn't want her to fight in the war.

>>14214153
Sounds like the novel but that's a picture of Gihren's Greed's Casval Gundam.

Why don't we have more extreme gundams? One would think Bandai would have released all 800 variants by now.

Is it partially owned by another company and they don't want to give them money? There has to be some back story
I just want the Leo and Phoenix form without having to pay 300 for the figure version

>>14214159
>>14214153
Novel had Char's corps and Pegasus crew teaming up after everyone has a newtype moment courtesy of Amuro's death after a battle near the end of the war, but Char never pilots the Gundam. The only instance I know of Char piloting the Gundam is the Gihren's Greed scenario where >>14214153's picture comes from. Char and some loyal Zeon forces team up with the an EFF faction, and Char has a customized RX-78 made for his use which is outwardly identical to the Gundam but features hybrid Zeon-Federation tech.

>>14213631

>>14213765
Thinking about it what if they use the origin gouf for msd efreets? New chest and back pack around same frame and build design. New head top pieces, two standard zaku shoulders if not custom type. Arm parts plug in where grey elbow block connects to forearm, slight changed crotch and skirt armor as well as feet. But oddly the biggest reason I wonder this is the legs, even on the demonstration type theres two panels you put on. Even the revive gouf doesn't separate those from the calf armor.

>>14213765
How about the Gouf Flight Type for Zeeks? It leads into the Dom doesn't it?

Act Zaku was mentioned somewhere on another thread, too, I think.

>>14214020

>>14214963
I'd recommend getting an actual MS-sized pistol.

What SD/cheap HG do you recommend for first paint practice?

>>14215068
HG GM - Any older ones
HG Zaku - Same deal but for Zeeks
SD - Most any except the BB Senshi Sangokuden line which are very intricate and require tons of masking or the current line, EX -Standard, which is godawful.

>>14215085
EXstandard is available in B&M though so are more accessible and are just as worthy of paint practice, if not more so because of they need paint apps more than most bb senshi, don't they?

>>14215068
>>14215085
I'd recommend an IBO kit like the Graze. The Graze has like two seams that need welding and that's it.

>>14215199
It can be swapped to a bunch of different forms, one of the promo pics is a regular frame arms, and it's koto so it's all 3mm pegs and holes anyways.

Worst comes to worse you may need to drill a hole to connect a hg, although depending on the hg it will probably be undersized.

>>14214998

Off the top of my head, I only know of the Strike Noir and DSSD Civilian Astray.

So I summon the all knowledgeable masses of /m/ to help me. Also is it only me that has to wait 1 month to get his shipment home for HLJ through SAL (currenlty waiting for 3 weeks for my RGs) ?

78-2 is their most iconic suit. They hype it every chance they can get. If they have to pick only one suit to make (be it 1/1 scale or 24k gold or just the latest 'line') they will always pick 78-2 first.

The problem that I'm running into with my guncannon is I don't have a model that really complements it, like..

>>14216715

Thanks, it's for a magazine article; a traditional model mag in the US wants to start doing some mecha pieces and they offered me a job after I emailed them. I don't feel like a great builder or anything, but these projects are pushing me and it's nice to have some pressure like that. I almost always build HGs because I enjoy the design and build aspects more than the rest of the process, but I'm doing an MG to give me more to work with. I'm not sure it will be creative enough for a GBWC entry, I might enter a kit just to try the whole contest experience though.

modern proportions make it look so much better

there are lots of F91/Victory era suits that would look much better with modern kits

Out of curiosity which model mag?

>>14216777

Finescale Modeler

How dated engineeringwise is the MG Kampfer and the MG 0083 GMs? I love those suits but they seem to be early MGs, and the MG Ground Gundams I have seem so lacking in comparison to the newer kits

>>14213631
>>14214295

He's lying. It's not. Clean them better. Other than that, good job.

>>14216785

I've been working on the 0083 GM-C and it's very much a dated kit. There is almost 0 surface detail (which is why I chose it) but the internal frame and core block are great. I guess it depends on what you're looking for. It's from the era when they were going for animation look on the outside, detail on the inside.

>>14216576
>>14216706
If you want a kit to compliment the Guncannon, You could wait for the Zaku I to drop on the 19th. The other Origin Zaku kits have been great so far, there's no reason the Zaku I should be different. Or if you don't want to wait, the Origin Waff is also a good complimentary kit, as it's still early Zeon with early Fed.

Or just get the revive RX 78 + Origin Guntank for full modern "Operation V" fun

Do you think they'll do another weapons campaign set this summer?

I hope they do. I want more weapons. Also this one store I go to that sells them is running out of stock. Soon I won't be able to buy them for $3 them resell them to chumps for $7 to $10.

I have no idea how I missed that when I was planning this. Honestly kinda bummed, not sure how to proceed. Modding the parts occurred to me, but I'm afraid of messing it up and ending up with useless parts.

>>14217159
It's generally worth doing the harsh stuff if it means getting your end goal to succeed. Parts can be rebuilt and puttied, but chickening out on a viable plan is stupid if you like the idea.

How do I get a F/F 3mm part? I want to adapt some Gabthley claw-feet or Byarlant claw-arms to my Kshatriya shoulders but I need to find a way to attach them. Thanks. Also why doesn't Bandai sell these kind of like what they did with Ballden joints? Did Ballsen just flop horribly?

There is only one way to learn how to do shit and that's to do it. Learn as much as you can first, go in with a plan, but in the end you can't ever just be a pro from the beginning.

>>14217184

Buy a pack of square beam styrene, drill a 3mm hole in it. If you want something even easier just buy tubing with a 3mm inner diameter.

>>14217207

I just looked up all that shit for you and it's a super easy fix you goob

you just need to cut the connections off of the leopard shoulders, glue some extra length of runner on there, then plop the gexes shoulders on them. If you have any tools you should pin them with wire so they are stronger, but you really have everything you need to do this.

Also make sure runner is the correct diameter for the gexes polycap, I'm not doing THAT much research, but basically you have everything you need to make an adapter.

here is my illustrated guide

>>14217248

For the arms just clip the internal "frame" part with the attachment peg in the top of the arm down enough that you can fit the female polycap from the other set in there. You may want superglue for that but use it sparingly or the cap won't be able to flex enough. You may also need to trim the outside of the cap down with your knife to fit it.

This is probably the more difficult fix of the two and I can't help much more than that without actually having the kits.

Seriously, take some time measuring for the arms, you are changing an M to M connection very close to the top half of the elbow joint, so you are going to need to be careful with posing etc. no matter how you do it. Try to bend the lower elbow joint more than the top after.

>>14217384
the skirt armor around the problem area is covered in super glue because when I was trying to cut out an area for the raised area that side snapped clean off, and the shield had a poorly painted base coat of a weird purple I should have striped beforehand, and the only issue I see on the cannon is this monstrosity which was the result of not something it out after cutting it, which also has glue on it.

Just finished building my first RG, the GP01Fb.
I can see the problems people complaining about, though not really severe in my case. I do have my own part breakage that frustrate me though.

So that's RG. Amazing piece of engineering but I'm not sure if I want more. Maybe I'll just take the Justice and pick HG/MG for other designs.

Why is Bandai retarded at ankle design? Put a fucking hinge on the inside of the lower leg that's supported at the top and inside. Connect it to a ball joint that goes into the feet. It'll let virtually every HG have perfect ankle range of motion that can do perfect splits. Almost all MS have the room for a hinge in their legs.

A set of Ballden Arms later and we have achieved twin tail status, dess

>>14217827
Two ways to fix it is to figure out either a poly cap size with ball joint type that would replace the slot polycap end of the ankle joint. Or just a ball joint thats big enough to friction fit tightly enough into the poly cap peg holes for one. And open up the foot sockets rim around the upper edges, but leave the majority of the hole in tact. You dont want to take to much material away that it makes the foot loose or not hold the ball joint.

Cool. I would have positioned them a little differently if it were up to me (more like the Second Victory if I could, just because I love the style) but it's a perfectly acceptable take on a good design. I'm always thinking up customs that are in practice no more than swapping out parts but I never really imagine creativity from that angle. Not that yours is terribly creative but it's not something I would have thought of.

Thanks, Geahnon.

>Unicorn just gets a recolor of the hguc full armor

You honestly dont want an rg unicorn, no one does

>>14218222
why not?

>>14218125
what are the chances that the sleeve markings will be seperate chrome pieces?

>>14218224
The original MG Unicorn already suffered from high stress parts breaking. Arm flaps come to mind. I've heard more than a few complaints about those. And the articulated horn/fin. The RG would suffer much worse.

The only problem the original MG Sinanju had was the waist joint breaking but that was because they designed it partially hollow like idiots and it happened to suffer from high stress at the base.

>>14218230
I'd totally buy 2 of them if they made a regular one and transformed one

>>14218230
but doesn't the mg actually transform? if as >>14218235 says happens, wouldn't that fix most problems? then again, then it would be a hyper detailed 1/100 unicorn, not an rg

>>14218125
>sinanjew
wake me up when it's Kshatriya

>>14218238
Its not the mo of rg kits though. They want it to be as over the top as they could. They would either have to make the parts slide easily, metal reinforcement parts. Or really improve the inner frame. To many smaller parts that it may be a floppy mess oooor just a grenade unless they pull it off.

I just wish it wasn't a char suit, oh well.

>>14218155

>>14218224
the engineering for a transforming 1/144 scale model would be horrendous, especially with the unicorn having independently moving armor panels and inner frame, the first master grade 1/100 unicorn model had some issues with poseability and joint flexibility, as well as a shitton of stickers

for the HG 1/144, they didn't even bother to try and incorporate any kind of transformation, they had separate models for unicorn mode and destroy mode

to try and make a fully transformable RG 1/144 would be kind of insane, it's not just a matter of shrinking the 1/100 master grade

>>14218253
char? its a full frontal suit. they have nothing in common at all.

>>14218257
>>14218249
I understand the problem in engineering such a thing now, I guess I can just hope for the kshatriya now

>>14218259
the sinanju's more of a char suit than the sazabi is

high mobility and speed, red, and it happens to be a customized improvement of the base machine it came from, it's thematically a modern char's zaku (in the same way that unicorn is a thematically modern RX-78, big beam gun and high end protection)

Another point in the Dreissen's favour is it looks like I can stretch some fabric over these bits on the chest and make it look like some manner of speaker. Subwoofer? I'm not sure the term for these things, sadly.

A vary tired and lazy theory based on Astaroth and particularly its design. Right now the standard design is asymmetrical with its right arms armor being from another mobile suit, a glove or giant hand unit and it's left inner leg seemingly missing calf armor. If you look at the right leg it has armor.

In the past some /m/ users wondered if it would eventually pull a Barbatos and become symmetrical. The photo of the glove shows its possible to place the thumb on either side allowing it to be a left or right hand. Given how both arms are designed you can swap either side no problem where as the leg just needs a calf armored piece.

This lead me to wonder if in fact a p Bandai or normal release of a symmetrical unit with either arm type made, especially with how it take a few more runners for either option.

So I've been contemplating on which one of the SD Unicorns I should get, out of the Unicorn, Banshee, FA Unicorn, Banshee Norn and Phenex. Which one is the best out of the 5?

>>14218046
Holding your head up the entire time would be annoying and tiresome.

HGUC Zeta plus really tight in some places. difficult to pose.

>>14218904
FA Unicorn > Phenex > Norn > Banshee >Unicorn
FA has by far the most parts and "playability", Phenex has that neat blue psychoframe with two armed armor rather than just the one Norn has, and Norn is just superior to the regular one despite not having the neat claw, leaving stock unicorn as the least loved unless you MUST have the red psychoframe

In process with this little one. Got to finish panel line and pick up some paint for certain parts.

>>14218913
Yeah. The only way I can see it working is if she's supposed to have her head down and where that blue light is below her face is the view screen from the cameras.

And then she lifts her head and looks around for more direct spatial awareness, or something.

Like honestly, I think the only upside to that pose is knowing that she's already in the anal ready position once you defeat her mech.

So any news about the RG Sazabi??? Release date? Price? ANYTHING???

>>14218988
I really don't want to make fun of you but you're honestly a fucking retard

>>14218999

you're correct, starts tomorrow at 9:30 JST, this doesn't change the fact that we still don't (or potentially won't) have any information on an RG Sinanju (not a fucking sazabi) yet

I was under the impression that Mandarake sells P-Bandai kits as well, at least I've seen them a few times there.

>>14219022
Mandarake is a (chain) second hand store, they sell whatever people bring in

>>14219024
A pawn shop, you mean?

I wonder if they have Battletoads.

>>14219028
>Battletoads
No western shit, only pure wapanese.

>>14219028
Doesn't a pawn shop imply that you can get the item back? You sell the item to them and they resell it.
