Since we all finally got our GN Archers, what's next on the NEVER EVER list?

>>14234263
Well since the preorders are up for 00 and SEED 1/100s that list is growing smaller for everyone by the day.
I think the only thing on my NEVER EVER list now is the HG GN Sword IV
But I'm sure I'll cave and pay rape prices for one sooner or later.

I'm looking to recolour a Zabanya to the classic white/blue/red colour scheme but I'm struggling to find appropriate decals. I want a ton of decals, but I'm looking for small warning text and hazard-type symbols, maybe also large text. All of these in black/gray, white and red. I've recently found a decently priced decal website but now my inner sperg is having an autistic moment. I'm a gundam noob but I don't want it to have text that is clearly wrong. Like if it says ASTRAY on its shoulder then I'll feel stupid as fuck.

Tl;dr. Can someone point me to some models with a slide of generic EFSF decals?

Pic related. I love the decal set but my paint scheme is mostly white, so for instance the holster bits won't even show the decal. There will also be no green.

>>14234661

there are many variations and it's a great kit, what's the problem?

I mean, I could change the holsters to blue but I don't think I like it as much, especially as it would feel like a lazy compromise.

>>14234662

I got a set of GP01 RG decals from sammy that have been great for random efsf stuff

>>14234664
There's still no 1/100 and the latest kits are P-Bandai.

>>14234263
G-Bouncer/G-Exes.

>>14234665
the funnels or bit shields or whatever they were looks a bit bland in all white, maybe add some red or yellow accents on them?

>>14234668
I can't seem to find them in 1/144 scale

RG Sinanju preorder open when?

Also, is RG red frame worth getting if I already have the MG?

>>14234682
I totally see your point. The plan is to put plenty of black-text and red warning style decals on them and then heavily weather the entire kit.

>>14234520
Zaku 2 and MK II are classics, you can't really go wrong with them if you've got some nice build ideas in mind.

If you're planning to go straight OOB the Strike kits will be your best option, Strike RM is probably the most solid MG in history.

Wing suits if you really want to be that guy.

>>14234607

Maybe something like this anons? If not go ahead and reuse mine if you wish, I fixed some of the areas so filling in with paint is a bit less tricky in areas. Granted I may have missed some in the massive white areas as I only focused on filling the lines in where it made sense.

>>14234977
Did you get the acrylic or enamel?

Before hguc 199 was revealed I was curious to see what it was, maybe it was the blast impulse finally ! Then it was revealed...The FA unicorn destroy mode in red WHY !? It's the same kit just with a red psycho frame and the hyper beam javelin which you can get elsewhere and the only thing new here is generic looking decals, this is something that should be online exclusive in fact iirc they released the FA unicorn ver ka master grade with red psycho frame as online exclusive. So why does the hg fa unicorn with red psycho frame get standard release !? It's hogging up the spot for another kits like the sword or blast impulse ! ARGH

>>14235054
The Unicorn will sell more than the Sword or Blast Impulses. It's not "hogging up the spot" at all. If Bandai wants to make the S/B Impulse, they will. Given the Force Impulse Revive, there's a chance they just might do it soon. Just be patient.

>>14235070
All I was saying is that this fa unicorn with red psychoframe is hogging the spot that could have been another revive. We don't need another fucking Unicorn
it should have been p bandai exclusive...

>>14234931
G bouncer is definitely getting rereleased in June. Not the exes though. HS has it up for preorder.

>>14235092

You expected the 199th kit in the HGUC line to be from the Cosmic Era for what reason, precisely?

I used to have a local store near my university. I mostly buy paint there but it was run by a friendly old man and his son that would always ask about the progress I was making on my kitbash stuff. I would stop by at least once a week just to say hi and browse their stock. Then they closed. Now the next best thing is a Hobby Town that's a 45 minute drive from my house.

ASSUMING YOU ARE IN THE US.

Unless you are doing the online contest you will need to bring it to one of the listed conventions, which means buying a ticket for the convention. There is an online form you can fill out and email to them which lets them know that you are coming and helps them figure out how many people are entering. But you can walk in and enter as well.

There is also an online entry category where you have to take some nice pictures from different angles and submit them where they will be judged against other online entries.

>>14235540
i'm not, but i think the one for my country is online since the deadline is before they announce the venue.

It's not very good, and I'm embarrassed that I can't paint it because I don't own an airbrush, but I'm having a lot of fun building my first MG.

Really would be nice to be able to paint, though - I could get really aggressive in my sanding against those awkward small white spots from where you cut the piece off the runners, as I could just paint over it.

I might look into picking an airbrush set up, eventually.

>>14236759
I don't like the strike though. The exia is cool, but it's not anywhere close to my favorite, anon. This thing with arms where I mentioned could be like a bulkier gerbera tetra with quad arms or something.

>>14236692
>>14236701

We've already had two P-Bandai releases of the Custom variants already. No idea why they're neglecting the original so much, it's obviously the superior design.

>>14236751
>Stick the arms underneath the main thrusters so they can be burned off after one flight

Wow great design choice there, Einstein.

>>14236400
Don't bother. Pretty sure the seam is isn't really noticed because it's disguised as finger joints or whatever.

>>14236828
>underneath
nice reading comprehension, Einstein.

The MG Zeta Plus is only 23 dollars on HLJ while the HG is 18.

Is the MG really that bad?

Hey gm cannon guy, you still around? How's your build going? I've been pretty interested on how your project turns out since I absolutely love the gm design and I've always wished for a gm cannon hg.

>>14236751
Welcome to Zeta, where every design is a 0079 rehash or LOLSORANDUMB.

>>14236856

yeah they are great I agree with you

>>14236856
>Mk.II
>Not the best Gundam

I pity your taste

>>14236848
It's not that the Zeta Plus is outright bad, it's that it's an old MG from 2002 and was priced for its time. Bandai doesn't adjust older kit's prices for inflation, and HLJ discounts from the RRP. Add in exchange rates, and you get older MGs being pretty cheap today.

>>14236861
It's kinda meh, actually.

The Zeta Gundam though.... Took some getting used to...

>>14236865

listen it's hard to tell when you have it, but you have the shit taste

>>14236861
I was just pretending to be retarded.

>>14236680
fair enough, actually, standing up, i think it looks pretty good, arms look okay, but i still think the shoulders look too large for her. good luck on your build, always been a huge fan of these kind of builds

>>14236866
But anon, you like the Mark II.

This is common knowledge. Only people with shit tastes like the Mark 2.

>>14236882

the mark ii is maybe the highest tier favorite suit

please, tell me yours

you betcha boy, I realized that I had some gel type cement instead of liquid cement, so I took the cut up leg and just kind of put it up as far as it would go and don't you know it stuck fine.

the Unit 02 release was just recolors with one duplicated runner of new parts. the actual Byarlant doesnt really share that many parts directly with the Custom from Unicorn, which didnt have very modular runners so it would be an odd hodgepodge of new parts, old parts and unused parts.

>>14236921
How's it look from the side? Does the gm leg stick out too much?

Also, are... are you using a sharpie to paint?
An airbrush and everything that comes along with it is pretty expensive, but definitely worth it in the long run. I'd suggest you save up for one. Either that, or a paint brush, some paint, and a lot of patience and steady hand movements.

>>14236899

Nah, not to paint, I just used a blue and red one for the sensors, although that would be a whole new level of cancer.
The leg doesn't stick out much, and with the foot in there, its basically hidden.

I never realized but it truly is halfway between rx78 and nu. neat.

Nu is actually better looking

>>14236845

By "inside" the thrusters you mean in place of where those guard flaps are, right? That's exactly underneath the fire, if the Byarlant does anything but hold its arms out forward, like a freaking dweeb.

>>14236961
Hah, alright then. It's looking pretty good so far. It makes me feel good inside to see someone make a gm cannon, I'll accomplish my dream vicariously through you, anon.
Your camera is blurry as shit though. What's going on at the top there? Is that masking tape?

>>14236974
No, I mean before those. Generally where arms would normally be. Why the fuck would anyone put arms underneath thrusters?

>>14236983
Yeah, it's just some cheap tape. I think the camera issue is that it focused on the manual instead.
And in that downtime of me being in the shower, I realized I had an unfinished Zeta GM Sniper Custom with waterslides and all that I can use to the same effect as the cannon kit.
God bless the GM.

I dunno about you guys, but those "wings" in the silhouette look a lot more like Jarja's pauldron horns if you ask me. Neither would be a bad choice for the next RE/100.

Was it confirmed? If so, that's pretty neat.

the beatles can be your favorite band too but it's a pleb choice still

>>14236986
then if it used it's arms to shoot things the thrusters would be firing directly down onto the arms

"Generally where arms would normally be" is exactly where the guard flaps are on the Byarlant. You're gonna have to draw us a picture to elaborate on how your arm placement is safe from the fire because you're not making a lot of sense to us man.

For you anons joining gbwc, whats up with the rules? I heard it was only original kits but ive seen some with MSG weapons and stuff while checking out the place last year.
Are these allowed too?

>>14237126
These 1/144 No Grades are meant for experiment and practices anyway.
But if you ever find Heavyarms again and Sandrock, better hold on to them. They never made it into 1/100 line unlike the others so basically they're Blast Impulse of their time.

>>14237157

yeah they mean no third party basically

third party accessories are ok I believe

>>14237171

Bandai made that HG R-Gyagya. There is a higher chance of them reusing that mold than to create a whole new one for a RE/100.

>>14237171
>>14237180
Koto, B-Club, and Wave parts are probably treated differently than third-party Chinese ones.
Since they don't have the license, Chinese ones that directly copied or based on Bandai own accesory (like that GN Sword IV) are in dubious legality.

>>14237234

Alternating between finishing my snapbuild of the RG Strike and building the Staghound Mk. III. First time using putty, it's kind of tedious to sand, I need to find some popsicle sticks or something.

Apparently you put effort into the thing,unlike me,whose first Gunpla was also a zaku variation who usually snapshits the kit together real quick so he can play with it,then eventually either takes it apart later for parts for a kitbash,or if he really likes said kit,does its' detailing work.Here`s a kitbash-in-progress of mine.

I'm a newbie to gunpla and want my first model to be the RX-78-2 because it kicks ass. However, I see a shit ton of RX-78-2's on the various stores listed in the guides. Any recs on a good one for beginners?

>>14235947
I'm finishing up a bootleg Gerbera Tetra from R-Club. I like the design but the engineering is absolute shit so I decided not to bother with spraying or coating the top armor to finish it faster.

My real effort is going toward an MG Hyaku Shiki 2.0 and a DM Akatsuki Gundam to pose as Nios for Father's Day.

High Grades are easy with a good amount of detail. Great for beginners and those with a little experience.
There's an old HG RX 78-2 and a newer updated one. Get the newer one.

Real Grade is the same size as High Grade but with more detail. (Think of RG being HG size with MG detail)

Master Grade is bigger than High Grade and with more detail.

Perfect Grades are huge, tons of detail, and expensive as fuck.

if you're getting started, HGs will be your bread and butter. When you feel confident, get an MG or RG. RGs are barely less expensive than MGs and the RGs are so small they can be difficult to put together and detail.

it's alright. lots of pointy bits, lots of plastic on plastic that can get loose quick joints. putting the wings of light take up too much space, fit issues like most bootlegs, be extra careful with the face/head regarding fitting, might need to glue both halves together. needs a fair amount of work but worth it.

Old MGs have slightly more dated engineering, they tend to use screws in some places and occasionally (we're talking very rarely, my oldest kit is a GP01FB from 97 and it still has one) don't have inner frames.

The MG Zeta Plus (c1 in my case but the a1 is pretty much identical) is fantastic, its reasonably stable, the transformation is really well thought out and everything fits together well. It only uses one screw in each leg but even then that wasn't essential, everything fits together nicely and I think there is only one seam (you can see it in the picture actually!) that is particularly bad, the rest are reasonably easy to fix.

I'd recommend it but then again when you spend a while working on a kit you usually begin to love it.

Just finished a no scale Macross delta VF-31J from Bandai. Simple and almost all the color its made from stickers, but they are thinner than your standard gunpla sticker and its the fiest kit I have made a wash, I used Vallejo wash and even for the white parts I used Black instead of grey, grey was very light and the detail didnt show, and black in here didnt look like a Dalong kit.

Right now im working on G-Shelf perfect pack, the build itself its interesting even if the engineering could be better but holy cow, it uses a lot of stickers and even then it needs more touch up for some details.

>Old MGs have slightly more dated engineering, they tend to use screws in some places and occasionally (we're talking very rarely, my oldest kit is a GP01FB from 97 and it still has one) don't have inner frames.

Yeah, no.

Older MGs have significantly less articulation and balance, much lower parts count (the runners might remind you of a modern HG), similarly low color separation, entirely different proportions (big heads), overall less gimmicks, and they didn't have full inner frames (which is what 99% of people mean when they say inner frames) until MG Nu. And they didn't consistently have full inner frames until MG Aile Strike 1.0,

If you get an old MG, you shouldn't expect it to be capable of doing much more than a nice standing pose.

It's a combo of preferring 1/144 and the MG being way too pricey.

There is no substitute, I'm afraid.

>>14237041
You're doing God's work, anon. Good luck, keep us posted.
The sniper custom is another one of my favorite designs, I'm still salty that it appears in the box art of other kits, but never got its own kit. It'd be so easy to make money off the gm template too, since a lot of the variants share a lot of similarities with the gm, so they wouldn't have to change much for each kit.

>>14237670
As an extreme gm lover, I hope you'll post progress pics of your current work too. I'd love to see how that turns out. Gms need more love and attention, they've had a tough life, they deserve it.

I'm thinking of getting a nice GM anons for maybe customizing it. Point is I don't know which one I should get, (except the GN Archer ofc). I want one that is not too pricey and not too old. Mainly looking for an HG, but if there is an MG I'm up for it.

>>14238198
Honestly, Bandai could just make their own HGGM for basically nothing since
1. GM is really cheap
2. A ton of variations
3. Most only have minor differences
4. Could make a Camouf, which is technically a Zaku so it would print money

>>14238215
If you're looking for a "not too old" HG you're SOL there's not been a new one for awhile and they all use the same 90 degree leg articulation as each other. So hold your breath for HG revive whenever it shows up like the rest of us
On the topic of recent though, GM Sniper K9 comes with a lot of option parts and the EZ-SR comes with a visored head and a LOT of option parts for swapping and customizing alongside much better articulation as it's a new mold. Slightly different is the GM Thunderbolt with the whole backpack and slightly improved articulation.
All of those are standard HG price (Amiami has them at 1450yen)
While slightly more than most GMs (which are usually 800-1200 JPY) those would be my first look for a GM to customize, especially with their respective option parts.

>>14238216
Yeah, they really could. But they still haven't, and it makes me so mad the more I think about it.

>>14238215
This >>14238248 anon is right, pretty much said most of what I'd have said.
I'd like to add though, that the gm striker and gm type c/powered are kinda old, but not really bad, they've got pretty good articulation.
There's also the jesta, which isn't very old either. That's a gm too, just a very advanced and tacticool kind.

>>14238262
I would've thrown Jesta/Cannon in there, but it's a little further from "classic jim" than even the EZSR.
Jesta is a fucking dream though, I'm a little upset when I look at models I want like Jegan Ecoas but realize that they don't have anywhere near the engineering and articulation the Jesta has.
Jesta and Guncannon are really the only visor kits that come to mind when I think of recent engineering, and that's kind of sad.

>>14238270
Yeah, the Jesta is a stretch, but I figured it should be presented as an option anyway, just because it's such a good kit.
I was pretty disappointed with the Ecoas Jegan and Stark Jegan too, but I guess that's what happens when I get the Jesta first, really set the standards high enough so that everything else after was in some range of disappointment.

That is incredibly sad though. Visor suits are largely ignored, meanwhile Bandai is shitting out more HG monoeyes like its the only thing they know how to do. The MSD line really bothers me, because it's mostly just Zakus with some new parts.
I'm hoping that maybe, just maybe, they'd do the same with the gm too, since they're releasing that visor proto-gundam..

It's definitely in the realm of possibility, and the details aren't really there because prototypes but some of the new builder parts look like they might be visor-head alternatives?
All we can do is hope, I guess. Who can fault them for printing money, right?

>>14238248

The best bog standard GM you can currently buy is the GM II

>>14238299
That's for the upcoming GBF OVA, right?
I remember when I saw that for the first time though, it made me feel so conflicted. I've been hoping for so long to get new visor kits instead of just more monoeyes and Gundams, and then we get.. two gm heads and a a visor Gundam. I mean, it's something, but come on.

>>14238315
It might be, it might not be. It could end up just being an HGBC set. Nothing is set in stone yet.

If I stop being a snapfag and join the glorious custom militia, would some1 be willing to gift me a cheap GM cause my wallet atm is attempting to jump off the Tokyo Tower.

>>14238412

About halfway done, still contemplating between keeping the saber or using the gn sword 5

i dont know why my pictures keep getting rotated

>>14238417
Atm I'm nearly all out of money. Gotta wait till next month's pay. So no spending money on gunpura this month.

>>14238412
If you can't afford the already incredibly cheap gm, how will you be able to afford everything else that you'd need to buy in order to make a custom?

>>14238426
I already have those since my brother does some airbrush art. It's just my hobby money for the month are out. DAMN YOU BANDAI FOR MAKING PLASTIC CRACK.

>>14238461
Then, are you.. unable to wait one month?

>>14238470
Mainly yeah. But I didn't really mean it that I wanted some1 to gift me a GM. It's that I can't fuckin wait to get my money. And then I'll have to wait for 3 weeks to get it cause of SAL.

The pegs are 3mm so yeah they can. I dunno why people complain about there being no clear Action Base 2s when you can get a Tamashii Stage 5 set with three stands for the price of 3 Action Base 2s.

Dunno about that stand specifically but I've used Figma stands before to hold up my HGs. You can see such in the background of this pic I made a while back.

Thing to note: They don't have any real weight on the base so if you put the model too far one direction or the other it'll tip over, so you have to add weight somehow or only pose your gunpla standing on the base, standing on the ground or in the air directly above the base.

Oh yeah,, he was a blast to put together. Got him in storage right now though until I can set up a work space.

Here's another example of using a Figma stand for HGs. Once again, in the background.

>>14237999
Saved.

>>14238982
qt pics, anon

Does the stand ever give in to the weight of the kit and droop down? I've always wondered that about them, they don't look that strong. Then again, I guess gunpla isn't usually that heavy anyway.

>>14237999
Hey, aren't you that one guy

>>14239025
Nah. They have screws in the joints so on the rare occasion they do droop you can just tighten the screws with a phillips head screwdriver and it holds just fine again. Most often the drooping only occurs after I've loosen the screws to change the pose and then forget to tighten them back up.

Thanks. I try to avoid using the stock "pointing weapon in direction" poses. Though I still need to buy a real camera.

>>14239047
Oh wow, that's great. Thanks for all the info, it's helped me make up my mind on buying some of their stands.

And for what it's worth, your picture quality isn't as bad as some others I've seen around here.

>>14238198
I`m planning to modify this GM into a suit with the weight and maneuverability of a Late UC MS.Also repaint it yellow and black.Probably integrate a more powerful weapon system,and in general make it into a highly nimble MS that can also carry multiple weapons on hardpoints on its' body.

>>14239131
Yellow and black sounds like an odd combination, but I'd like to see how that turns out, sounds like a cool custom gm. Post some pics and share every now and again, mang.
