Just got the MG wing gundam, ive built the heavy arms n shenlong no problem but am worried about the wing proto, am guessing the frame will be different than most since it transforms. Anyone else built the wing proto ver? Anything to look out for or be extra gentle with?

Was my first build. Only thing I can really remember is there are weight issues, it can't balance very well with the wings, gun and shield all on. Outside of that I like it a lot.

>>14386797
Also forgot to mention the guns will flop, combined or not. I used a little bit of blue tac to stick it to the arm.

>>14386797
That's not too bad, I was more concerned with the frame breaking. When I built the rx-78 2 rg the arm and left knee joint crumbled. I guess as a MG I dont have to worry about it much

>>14386753
oh god, maybe I should just cancel my preorder now.

That makes even the VF-25's decals look tame.

So I'm messing with plaplate and putty for the first time, what would I use to carve out the hardened putty, a scribing tool? would've tried already on my own but I don't own one, just an exacto knife and a drill bit thing.

Eh, a lot of plane and macross models have had huge decal sheets. I remember my hasegawa vf 1 had a sheet twice the size of a typical mg gundam's and it had huge decals for the colored parts on it.

picked this up at the denver comic con. i haven't really built any of these since i was a kid but i had a lot of fun doing it. took me something like 35 hours and my fingers hurt from it but im pretty happy with it. probably buy more models in the future but probably not another PG, this was way more work then i thought it would be.

i dont post in /m/ but i dont know where else to talk about it.

Does anyone have any experience pinning or gluing the MS Blade 01 Builder's Parts?

I'm looking around for a tutorial and can't find one specifically for this parts set.

>>14386825
Because this is the first time in two years that I'm actually trying to be a responsible adult and while I am starting to feel the sting of loneliness again I don't trust myself to have a good meaningful relationship while doing things to better myself. I also have trust and abandonment issues with woman after my ex broke up with me two years ago and my mom moved to fucking Alaska 6 months before. Also I usually go for girls that want nothing to do with me or have boyfriends already because no one in this fucking city is single anymore.

>>14387429
Looks nice, you probably shouldnt have started with a pg but w/e. Panel line it with a grey marker and give it a better and less boring pose.

i want to do a different pose but in destroy mode its about as tall as the stand will go so it doesnt give me much creative freedom as i want. part of me want to order the full armor kit for it but its a lot of money for adding very little it feels.

i may try that grey marker thing down the road.

>>14386993
I kinda want to get some decals for my 1/100 scale Barbatos. Don't know about my 7 1/144's though, since they're all top coated already. I've not seen any decals for IBO kits yet, but they haven't made any MG's or anything. Hell, the Hi-Res model doesn't even come with decals. You'd have to use generics from other kits if you wanted them.

Personally, I think the Barbatos would look great with little warning signs and such here and there, but Bandai hasn't made any IBO decals yet, from what I know, so we'll just have to see if they provide.

Also, don't forget to sand down those safety nubs on the v-fin. Really makes the Barbatos' v-fin stand out, IMO.

>I'm looking around for a tutorial and can't find one specifically for this parts set.
>guys i need a tutorial specifically tailored to each and every item i purchase

Not sure if serious, but in the case you are I will say this:
You really need to learn to think for yourself. You will not find a pinning/gluing tutorial specifically for that set, nor will you ever. It would be an incredible waste of time, and completely pointless. That set is made of the same polystyrene as all the others, and the glue and tools are the same as well. Once you understand how the tools work, the same processes will apply across all kits made of the same materials.
If I see more posts like yours anon, I will just start ridiculing you.

>>14387536
Samueldecal has tekkadan symbol decals. For the warning symbol stuff just grab a sheet from a gm or rx-78 or Nu. Thoses have tons of them on it.

>>14386825

I prefer the ground type, but that's just an opinion. Get the one you like the best.

The MG is old. Like, really old. It's fairly solid, but the core fighter and sundry can be temperamental. Articulation is somewhat limited compared to newer kits.

The best kit for your money is the RG, no two ways about it. If you've got the cash to burn and some space needs filling, the PG is great.

>Get a knife and carefully shave it off. The leftover bruises can't be helped, just mitigated.

Airbrush told me to get sanding sticks. I'll talk to him about it later, maybe my hobby shop has some cheap ones. I don't think a knife would be better than sanding sticks from the sound of it.

Just build the RG MKII whenever it arrives. The barzam conversion is mostly just gluing pieces to the RG frame or chest pieces. It was my first conversion kit but I really like the look of that barzam form.

Anybody with a helicopter model kit in 1/144 mind putting it next to a standard OYW UC MS 1/144 model kit so I can see how they look next to each other?

>>14388230
that phone jesus christ put it out of its misery

>>14389213
No. It must suffer more.

>>14388653
The RG MKII is the best of all the RG so with the conversion kit you retain that solid feeling of the construction while beefing up the kit a bit with the larger legs,chest, and much larger head (it comes with two different barzam heads). The rifle addition is kinda meh but I added it for completion sake. Favorite part is the crotch beam cannon. It's glue heavy in attachment as at least mine wasn't super tight fitting on the existing parts/frame. I didn't really like how the cockpit moving parts were designed, which kept opening so I glued it shut. 8/10 IMO

>>14387536

have a chisel ready so when you seam weld it, you can clean the other surfaces that sand paper cant reach

No seriously, that's all. They do it all the time with gashapon merch - you can get the normal toy, or you can get the super special translucent glitter one. This one they're going all out, just count the levels of exclusive:
> Only available at GFT
> Amuro's Zeta colors
> Alternate 'Initial Verification' version
> Clear color version of all the above

The BF MG line has been using existing frames for everything. Red warrior could reuse the 2.0 frame. BB would need a new unique frame. Red warrior was also the new ms of a popular character from the first season and also could get sales from plamo kyo/regular red warrior fans on top of it.

It'seems like we finally got a meme that no one else wants.

So I want to branch out from Gunpla and try some kotobukia kits, but I've heard they can be fiddly as hell. Any suggestions? I've been eyeing their White Glint with the big ass booster.

>>14392279
Emphasis, I guess. 4chan has no real text formatting so he can't italicize or bold it.

>>14392164
I think I get it, though I think I'll have to get multiple GRaze Eins for it.

>>14392509
The second set of arms isn't from graze ein.

>>14392520
I know it's from the R-Gyagya. It's just that the Graze Ein comes with two axes for better cleaving action.

I was wondering if you could replace the shoulder turrets with arms, or if the Gusion Rebake's arm pods would be helpful for that. I don't have either.

If you were to get the Dark Matter or Fenice Rinascita MG, which one would you get. I'm leaning towards the Fenice because it comes with it's own stand and I have a lot of 00 things built and to build, but I want to hear some other opinions first.

>>14393285
>paint can replace transparent parts and improve articulation

1/72 VF-31J from Bandai now shipping from HLJ, the Ozma and Alto VF-25s are also back in stock (except for the base Alto vf-25)

>>14392613
I really like that Stargazer. Transient is cool too.

>>14392235
so semi-gloss

>>14393380
Fenice Rinascita is overall better tahn Edgia dark matter.
However, regular Fenice is better than both. That was the kit that should have gotten a MG.

What do Bandai's hideous water decals adhere best to, bare plastic or a gloss coat? I'm planning on actually managing to get all the decals onto my VF-31J kit before some of them scrape off this time, and I'm kind of looking for advice.

On my VF-25 Armored and VF-25 Tornado, I used water decals on bare plastic, and didn't get from one end of the model to the other before some of them scraped off from just handling. This time, I'm thinking I'll clear coat each individual outer armor piece, decal them, then clear coat again, before assembly.

Painting is not really in the cards since color matching is a pain in the ass (great, let's use blue decals on white for half of it, and white decals on blue for the other, so you *have* to match the blue paint somehow)...

It can be a little loose, yeah.
You can just do the glue trick or it you're feeling lazy or not wanting to do something so permanent feeling just tear off a small piece of paper and put it in between the parts to add a slim amount of thickness and some decent friction.
That's what I do for temporary fixes since I'm always super broke.

Actually, I'm thinking about gluing it on. You think if I detach the dark blue connection piece and reattach it in the other side they'll get loose? I just want to have the option to switch between a lefty and a righty configuration.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7GeC5ZdRkY

Don't worry too much about it, I actually didn't know or notice this until someone pointed it out to me about a month ago in these threads. If you only have nippers just be VERY careful, but sand paper is probably your best bet. If you're in America, Testors sells a cheap good set of like 5 sheets of differing grits for like $3-$5 I think? I find them at Michael's or Hobby Works, so they're not that hard to find.

>>14394223
Ah, thanks.
>>14394230
Yeah, that was the issue with shopping irl. All I found was legitimate sand paper at a Lowes.

>>14394240
You can find 1000, 1500, 2000, and 2500 grit in the automobile section at Walmart.

>>14394341
>grit that fine
For the life of me sanding doesn't work unless it is 400 grit. 1000 and up just does nothing.

>>14394341
>>14394361
Yeah, that's what I believe I was working with, but I do not recall. It just wasn't too good and ended up scratching it mostly I think.

>>14394361
>>14394380
I find that 600 grit works well after trimming the nubs with an xacto knife, and I'll smother it out a bit more after with 1000 grit

>>14394361
You're meant to start low and as you progress move to finer grits to mediate potential damage.
Start with a nipper with a cut far from the piece, then make a second cut closer (but not flush to) the piece.
Remove most of the nub with your xacto knife
Remove the protrusion with your "low" grit 500-1000
Smooth the mark with your medium grit 1500
Finish the part with your high grit 2000+
Done correctly you should have negligible mark left on your piece, while also removing the nub in its entirety with no deformation

So, did any of you filthy gaijin get the Kotobukiya limited FAG Jinrai with skin-coloured limbs?

http://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/information/information-80004/

The extra parts don't fit together and you have to send in the postcard that comes with it to get the fixed version of the runners sent to you next month, for free. But only to Japan, of course.

>>14394389
Still too high for me.240 grit to get rid of the excess. Anything higher would take a whole year to build

Am I the only one who thinks that the entire one year war deserves the origin treatment?

>>14394389
Why do you cut away from the piece?
Stress marks?

>240 grit
Do you enjoy scratched plastic? Pic related, it's something like 150 grit vs 600 grit

>>14394444
>Why do you cut away from the piece?
Cutting away from the piece puts less stress on

>>14394444
Yep. If you cut it flush you could put strain on the plastic or gouge out a piece, and you'd have to fill it in with putty/surfacer later.

Though if you're gonna be painting, discolored marks are largely unimportant, since you're just gonna cover it all up anyway.

>>14394414
No, but the few of you who think that are fucking dumb.

>>14394463
Ah, okay. Yeah most of my nub spots are kind of small cuts more than anything. Will work on that for my next kit. It's easier to see it up close at least.

>>14394470

There isn't anyone on this board that owns one that would discourage you (if you like the design)

>>14395549
It's a good looking kit and looks solid

I was gonna get it at one point but ended up buying nu Ver ka because muh gundamu

>>14395631
Yeah, I love the design, love how it's bulky, but not just blocky at the same time

>>14395641
I've been looking at the Nu Ver ka too, cant decide between the normal finish and the Titanium one, it's got a nice flashy look

>>14395645
I got the regular but I think titanium finish might have terrible nub marks, but I never had it so I wouldn't know

Does anyone know what effect Britain leaving EU will have on britbongs who buy plamos from Japan

Can people here who have both nu Ver ka and hi nu Ver ka post a side by side picture of the two?

I want to see how bulky hi nu Ver ka is compared to the regular

>>14395663
That's the only thing that worries me if I got it, i'm still quite new to this, but i've been doing quite well with my kits with sanding down nub marks, oh well, might take a while to decide

Have some juicy Hyaku Shiki Revive!

>>14395645
Don't do the metallic finish.
>love how it's bulky, but not just blocky at the same time
The word you're looking for is "Tacticool"
>>14395663
Bunch of brit investors got scared and went and boosted the yen (stable bet cause it doesn't fluctuate much..ever), so prices will probably go up then stabilize in a few weeks once everyone realizes, effectively, nothing happened.

I think Dalong has pics, not sure.

>>14395686

Gonna get the Jesta at least, more I look at it the more I want it

>>14395696

I don't know about everyone else's experience, but the plastic seems more susceptible to warping (though not like the clear parts which just shatter), and also scratches can be a bitch. You should be able to work out a way to achieve a similar shine with a selective blend of matte and gloss coat and some highlights should you want that *schwing*

>>14395701
Also, this.
Now, don't they make a couple that have some really fancy attachment points to the sprue?

Has anyone ever built the 1/100 akatsuki ?

>>14395701
>>14395704
Alright, thinking on it, it probably isn't a good idea to go for that if im new too if it's more susceptible to warping etc, i'll stick to the normal kits

>>14395773
There was someone here a few weeks ago (though it might not have been this general) talking about it iirc.

>>14391519
to give the covenant back their bomb?

>>14395549
I got one, but I haven't started on it yet. People say nothing but good things about it though so yeah, get it.

find the first ball kit, it includes a 1/250 scale ball. really cheap. hope this helps

>>14395848
Which Unicorn kit is it that's >never ever
For whatever reason, I've incorrectly thought it was the Bryantlant Custom.

Anons I need your help. If I want my gunpla to have a gloss coat will future be good enough as a final top coat?

>>14393490
Don't color match and call it a custom

>>14395833
