Let's see for any gimmicks before we settle on pure hatred. True the ZZII is lackluster, and we don't need all these damn bears, but Green [Q] might be decent.

>>14400109
Base was the Cathedral from the BF manga, MG probably never.

>>14400191

The green Qant is ugly and looks like shit.

>>14400172
First things first. Do something else, pick up an RPG you like and play for awhile. Don't think too hard about all the robots.
While you're playing this RPG download a show you've already watched, and wouldn't mind watching again.
Grab the easiest and most relaxing kit you have after RPG time is over and start at the top, don't stress too hard while you start clipping pieces. Make sure the aforementioned show is playing.
Does your attention waver? Take a minute and enjoy what's happening in the show, and then you can resume the build. Take it at your own pace and don't be afraid to stop building for a little while if it gets to a good part.
In case of differing tastes replace RPG with another type of game or relaxing activity of your choice.

Just remember that the build is not a race, and if you only build a chest piece in two days, then that's just the time it takes.

Look, if you don't just like the Qant that's just you, but the only significant changes so far are the ears and the backskirt. While I raise an eyebrow at the ears, I don't particularly hate it.
It doesn't look like shit, it looks like a green Qant.

>>14400214
The head looks completely different.

>>14400214

No, you faggot. I love the Qant. But this is total garbage. The colors simply do not work reversed like that and the cat ears are dog shit and at best pointless.

Hey guys, /m/alaysiafag here...

I've done this in spare time...

What do you think anons?

>>14400266
Well it's a start anon. It's good that you have an intended direction, but you should really clean up all those nubs.
That aside, maybe strip the paint, sharpen the V fin and the center fin, and then repaint it, but make sure you thin out your paints properly, and don't rush it. It looks like your reds and yellows mixed a bit there. I would say do yellow first, let it dry fully, and then mask the yellow parts and paint the red one. That way you'll have clean lines and no intermixing.

>>14400214

OK, it looks like we have an A runner with the red parts changed to dark green (?) and the clear parts changed to blue, a new B runner with only four parts in common with the old one (possibly multi-colored? There's a yellow bit at the solar plexus that's not from the 00Q, though it might be an insert on the A runner instead), an unchanged C runner (inner frame), and a new D runner (blade parts).

The cat ear part looks like it basically replaces the rabbit ear part on the original kit, and it should have an even smaller sticker sheet than the original Q unless there's something strange going on with the shield...

>>14400301
The yellow part is simply the blue piece on the Qant in yellow.

>>14400312

No, check the shapes again. The original is kind of V-shaped with a sharp crease at the centerline, the yellow part is flat in the middle.

>>14400214
I can't be the only one who thinks that aside from the slightly silly cat ears the left is a much better design. Dropping red from the color scheme, simplifying the knee and shoulder armor while simultaneously adding detail, reducing the sharpness of the lower chest area to match the rest of the machine's "blunted" profile, adding definition the ankles... it's so many little things that on their own look much better to my eyes.

>>14400388

Ankles are literally the same parts as on the original HG kit, I'm holding it right now and the legs aside from the knee armor are identical.

The shield might be a little bit busy though, I'll have to see it from a different angle (and see what other gimicks those blades have) before I'm sure.

Also, the parts for the standard V-fin (another change I missed earlier) and the rabbit ears will most likely still be included, so you can build it with the stock head if you want.

I just managed to break a peg of a 3-piece hand when removing the thumb section.

Do you guys practice any special precautions when picking hands apart, or should one just simply be more careful?
Is this inevitable for these hands and one should refrain from changing load-outs too frequently?

>>14400609

Just got to be careful, like you would with any thin peg.

>>14400609

I'd suggest a combination of being more careful *and* not changing loadouts as often, because the pegs *are* fragile, and most of the time they're ABS and not fixable if they do break.You *might* be able to salvage it by drilling out the broken peg from the hole and replacing it with a short metal rod or a pair of tiny neodymium magnets or something.

Blue/Orange/Light Gray is my go-to colorscheme, but I kinda wanna go with a sort of WW2 US Olive Drab sort of deal with it. For the record it's the GM with all the guns strapped to it from last thread >>14394885 so the Olive Drab might work.

>>14401024
Yeah it probably would, and if that's out of your normal scheme, I say do it, son.

In a general sense what is better. Spray cans, or hand paints?

Hand paints

Pretty happy with how the seam welding practice went with Jim II. Much better this time around than on my previous kits.
I'm really surprised by how nice and tight all the joints are too. I wouldn't think that the dopiest looking grunt would be the strongest HG I've built.

>>14401511

If you only have the option for one, go for hand paints, because you can do things with those that you literally can't with spray paints - like fine detail painting.

If you have the option to go with both, do so, because spray cans are much easier to do large surfaces evenly with, expecially if you prep properly (clean, prime, mask, paint), and there is basically no other way than spraying white primer followed by white paint of the right glossiness to get something that's actually white and even.

No, it's more expensive, you should stick to buying from your home country. Don't buy any there, or you'll just be wasting money.

Airbrush problem guys.

It was my first time spraying Future floor spray from my airbrush (Badger Patriot) and I sprayed at about the 10-15 PSI range. First coat was a light mist and things went fine.

I took apart my brush and cleaned it while waiting for the coat to dry and do the second coating. But when I went back to spraying the airbrush shot out the liquid when I just meant to use air. And bubbling was happening while I was spraying near the nozzle/needle cap. I tried with water, same deal. I've sprayed before this session with thinned acrylic paints and it has gone fine.

I assembled how I always have, what's going wrong?

>>14401747

>>14400745
This is the most ass backwards bootleg I've ever seen, they make a 3rd party backpack for the extreme type Leo's and then make a 3rd party bootleg of the extreme gundam. What not just change the colour and corner the market for people who aren't willing to pay £90+ for an extremely dated hg that hasn't been reprinted in years?

>>14401807
Mainstreet Akiba has plenty of good stores, some resell P-bandai. Yodobashi has a great selection for gunpla and plamo. Try Yellow submarine at Akiba station, they sell gunpla parts (at a premium for sure, but cheaper than a whole new kit) Picked up The launcher and swrod pack from the MG Strike instead of buying the whole thing (don't need another 2004 MG Strike) and put them on my Ver RM

>>14400057
Is the conversion kit? The proportions seem beefier than any of the MG's on the market right now, but yet again I haven't built any of mine.

>>14401747
RIP your phone

>>14401678
Gunpla boxes are pretty big, dude. I'd reckon it'd be worth it if you buy a shitton of them.

>>14401678
No. Extra pieces of luggage cost way more than shipping, which also charges based on size of the package but but focuses more on the weight, and gunpla is light.

>>14402224

Whether the charges are calculated more by weight or by volume depends on the shipping method, as well. EMS and SAL scale differently, and while EMS is more expensive for small orders, when you're ordering low density stuff like Gunpla or other Plamo, there's a break-even point where EMS actually becomes cheaper than SAL. I always try to order my gunpla shipped from HLJ in groups of four, because that's about where SAL shipping catches up and passes EMS shipping. And delivery within the week with tracking for less money than delivery "within the month" and no tracking is never wrong.

EMS IIRC has an absolute size limit though, so unless you can't fit all the kits in a box that's smaller than the maximum EMS size, don't try to send it that way.

>>14401678
if you overnight them or something maybe but checked baggage is fucking expensive as hell

>>14400214

Did you just run Windex through it, or did you soak the parts? I'd take the thing apart and soak the parts overnight in Windex and see what happens before trying anything stronger.

No joke, you can dip a lot of the stickers into water as if they were a water slide. That will let you position them a lot easier. Just press it down flat with a Q-tip or something to soak up any water left over and it will stick when dry.

And no, the water will not ruin the stickiness once it is dry.

Weak hair joints, problems with the fit on the hair parts (requires cement + sanding if you don't want an obvious gap between the parts), the inferior legs (Stiletto and before's polycap ball version, not the upgraded Materia swing joint version).

Also half the price/content of the kit is the stupid MSG arms.

>>14404256
How is he cage anyways?
How is the Unicorn MG itself from it?
Is it the same as the OVA version or what?

>>14404242
Any particular reason why?
Each of the kits have something I really like, so I'm curious as to your opinion.

>>14404260
Thanks. Now I know which parts I should fix.

>>14404248
I want that green frame Banshee.

>>14404263
Literally same except for the really glossy finish and cream white color of the armor. Cage is dank though. Really wish I painted it but I was too lazy to do so

>>14404272
It's a little hard to tell from the pic. Is that what you have really glossy?

>>14404275
It's glossy. I'd show it right now if I have the proper camera and lamps, which I don't have right now.

>>14404280
I see, thanks.

How does the cage scale with other MGs?

>>14404283
I think the standard 18m tall suits might properly. It definitely hates back heavy suits though.

any reviews of the VF-31 yet?

>>14402688
Put a bit of dishsoap in the water to lubricate it too and it won't clog up so easy

RG 00 Quanta

which to build first?

I'm kinda tempted to hold onto the RG 00 Quanta until the Full Saber stuff comes out though.

Are the Graze known for having shitty shoulder joints? Because the ball joint on mine falls the fuck out if you even breath too hard in the same room.

>>14404700
Not problems here, see if you accidentally the joints while building.
My Mk.II Revive has an incredibly loose right leg, because the connecting joint was slightly dented or something during building

My backlog is kind of bare, it's been a lean six months or so. VF-31J is on its way though.

And I have plenty of WIP's, it's just that they're regular Plamo and not gunpla. (stares into corner at eight under-construction Hasegawa VFs... most of which have been sitting there for a year.)

>>14404265
To be honest there's not a huge difference, but it generally has less paint applications required and is my favorite season 1 suit. Not to mention it is generally harder to come by

remember kids, dont mix up the lids of your spray cans while painting, otherwise bad things happen...

Ugh. Dusting the Gunpla shelf is always such a pain, every time I touch one of my kits they tend to decide that "no, not holding this pose today". Even if it's just plain standing up. Also, having to pick them up and look at them just points out to me very clearly what an inferior builder I am, but at least my Gunpla are in better shape than my regular plamo.

Counted on my shelf today: 23 HGUC kits, 15 other HG kits (HG00, HGAW, HG G-reco), 5 RG kits, and six MGs. Plus three VF-25 kits.

How big are your collections?

It's made from a mg red warrior backpack swing arm (i only ever plan on displaying red warrior with the one bazooka), a modded extra shoulder joint from hg graze that came as leftover parts with graze ein, and some styrene rod to act as an adapter between the two.

It plugs right into part of graze customs backpack.

Short story time but
How do you deal with "Gunpla burnout"

I used to build kits 1-2 month. I love it. Even if sometimes I just snap build something just for the "hell of it" I was happy as fuck

Then it happened. I just buy kits and I don't build them. Heck I even wash the runners as well. A few days ago I saw "THE O" and the "GUSION" for sale in my local hobbystore. I've been looking for this kits for months now but I was too "Meh, they'll probably go to the stockpile anyway"

What is wrong with me? I used to even take photos as a tripfag as well.

>>14405962
Did you do that with a pen??

>>14406126
No, some sorta chisel/whatever thing to make the lines themselves, then I used a black gundam marker, to see how they ended up.

>>14406125
Just take an extended break dude.
Burnouts happen because of excess.

>>14406125
>gusion
Fuck, I would stop building too if I saw that piece of shit in person.

>>14406144

The Gusion Rebake however is fitting of it's color scheme. Shit

>>14406125
Personally, since I live in the northern hemisphere I feel the pressure to get shit done in the summer months since I can't use spray cans inside, so I do whatever I can during summer and slow down in the winter, although it's hard since plamo/gunpla is released all year long

>>14407057
what? i have the MKIII and dont remember having any sliding polycap fuckery like you speak of

>>14407070
its the poly caps with the outter circle split into 4 parts

I think it was the thrusters and when I slid it in without a gap outside the whole thruster won't close properly later on just on that part

I had to get my sharp tweezers and open the whole thing and adjsut the polycap so the gap is facing the other part and it went in just fine

>>14407033
I tend to stat with Weapons, then legs, then either arms, or the waist if I want the legs attached to something.

The RG's tend to start you with the legs, and work your way up, which is a nice way too.

I kind of like that idea. So maybe, a white king (wielding all four beam sabers) and a black queen (with both beam rifles).

The headpieces will be what differentiates them... the King needs something cross-shaped, while the Queen needs a multipronged piece. Any ideas?

>>14407007
Most likely a centaur unicorn, I saw a nice concept art of one plus I have the leftover torso and legs of the unicorn I would like to use up

Can't help but think something like this has been done before.

What is the most essential iwata airbrush to buy for this hobby based on personal experience?

>>14405458
>the knight of chaos
Really? Id expect something more unique and relatable to its color scheme.

Nice build though

>>14405458
I thought that looks pretty good. What place did you get?
Kind of a gay name though.

>>14408363
I couldnt think of a nice one, so its just a tiny easter egg.

The character I based this off had that title

>>14408367
I let my inner weeb out too

I didnt place, was hoping for that prize money to buy more gunpla

its early july next weekend, stop whining.

Look, we all knew it was going to be a decalfest. Now maybe the sheer amount of decals is a little overwhelming at first, but for this type of model, it's par for the course.

Even without decals, it looks pretty nice.

Now, you want to see some decal mania?

What bothers me isn't that it's a decalfest, it's that they're stickers and not waterslides so it looks like shit.

Doesn't it come with both? The 25 and 27 kits did.

Why do people hate the avalanche? I think the dash variant looks really sharp.

>>14408540
Do people hate it? I've always thought it was rather nice. It gives a bulky but not immobile feeling

>>14408556

The whole point of the Exia is it's this streamlined, pared-down mech ninja.

When you just strap bulky shit on that it makes no sense.

>>14408503
Shiny Edge waifu.

>>14408060
Its Solar Auxilia, the real marine of 40k
im gonna use HyGogg as my army personal Regimental Knight, called it "a new, experimental STC's"

>>14408621
Nice. I'm waiting until Blood Angels get their day until I jump into 30k, but I'm pretty pumped for it.

>>14408570
Different stuff for different situations I guess? Maybe sending a lightly armored ninja would be dangerous so they tried to add stuff to buff it up

idk I didnt read the backstory for the avalanche

Am I the only one who thinks pre-shading makes the kit look like ass?

>>14408633

But the ninja is supposed to be extremely fast and stealthy. If they need more firepower and armor, that's why Gundam Virtue and Dynames were created. It makes no fucking sense. Avalanche Exia is genuinely like some kid's kitbash. Some kid would think it was cool to stack needless armor on a thing while missing the original point of it.

>Fixed the ugly seam on the gun, the rest dont bother me so I didnt weld those

Good job anon I'm proud.

>>14408741
if it's subtle it's not so bad but when it's overdone then yeah it's pretty ugly

>>14408741
99% of the people who try to do pre-shading or weathering have no idea what the fuck they're doing.

>>14408744
thats true. if i ever got one i would probably just turn it into a heavy weapon custom instead of using the blades

>>14408570
>Exia
>Ninja

It's a light armored knight.

>>14408156
not bad anon, nice effort

althought the white decals are a little hard to see on the lighter blues

>>14408744

The Avalanche pack if you actually look at it is boosters, more boosters, and boosters on top of the other boosters. And then the Avalanche Dash pack adds...more boosters.

The bulk of the Avalanche isn't armor, it's GN condensers to feed the GN particle thrusters. The backstory is that the pack is designed for high speed intercepts at long range, kind of like the Deep Striker. The story it shows up in has it used to intercept an asteroid that was on collision course with something or other.

>>14409076
Also of note, Avalanche and Dash were precursors to the GN Arms

So, I just finished this new HG i got from B&N, and it came out great, but for some reason the polycaps for the arms wouldn't allow the first torseo pieces to fully clamp together. Nothing's really wrong with the figure, but should I be worried?

>>14409277
it looks dusty
I somewhat agree.
I feel like the 00 gundams don't really look good with weathering unless its applied professionally well.

>>14408487
It does. I just finished mine but have yet to put on the decals.

>>14406125

When im burned out of plamo I just center in another hobby, right now Im burned on videogames and Im doing plamo, 2016 its the year im building most plamo, previous years I got burned out because i got shitty tools and it took and eternity doing kits but with new tools Iy got better.

Maybe you need something "new" for you regarding plamo.

>>14408504

It does. The only Bandai VF kit that I know didn't come with both stickers and water decals was the Tornado pack, which only had waterslide transfers.

What's a good wire type to use for INCOMs? All I have to work with now is the heat wire off my buddy's Gouf custom.

Most art stores sell various wire in loops for a couple bucks. Find one you like there.
