One of the Zaku 2.0s or Turn A. I haven't built any of the MG kits released in the last year, the most recent I have is Shenlong I think.

I don't get why people had so much trouble with the MK.II powerlines. Measure, cut with xacto, put in place, and shove in with a mechanical pencil if they won't stay.

>>14489623
its because for me the cloth kept getting the way of the pegs and wouldnt close properly, and while i was trying to fix that the inner wire would keep slipping out.

Posting here if anyone'd like to help out.

Basically I'm going to be getting my hands on an obscure garage kit soon, a Dimension Diver/Daibadi Aphrodite A color resin type. A few other dudes are also interested in having one, but this seems so rare that the one I happened to snag seems to be the last one that could generally be found easily at all.

Basically, what I and those guys would like to do is find a means to recast the models' parts so that everyone can get the model rather than there being just the one. If anyone knows of a service or group that could help, or if you're up for it (hopefully without destroying the base model!), please do help out. Are you taking casting commissions, or do you know someone who does? If so, multiple people may be interested.

The model is articulated and uses separately purchased joints. I did ask /tg/ about this as well, the part casting shouldn't be difficult for those experienced.

The trick to getting the RG Freedom and Strike Freedom to stand unaided without needing a "Smooth Criminal" pose is to spread the wings as far as they go, and bend them forward a little. So long as you haven't ruined the ankles they'll stand just fine like that. The Aile Strike can be posed free-standing with the Striker pack attached if you do an action pose with it, like stretching out the gun.

One thing to be aware of for all RG kits is that if you pop the shoulder armor off a few times, it tends to get a liking for doing so and it can be a pain in the ass to keep it from doing that all the time. This goes basically for all the RG's that I've built - Freedom, Justice, Strike Freedom, Aile Strike and 00 Raiser, since they use the same attachment system for the shoulder pads.

>>14490066
Why wouldn't you just buy stands? I learned my lesson after the 00 Raiser

Currently building the VF-31J. I hate stickers. But I hate Bandai's decals even worse, so I'll persevere. Hope I don't ruin too many of them on the way though....

Have the forward fuselage and one wing assembly done right now, time to start work on the other wing.

Speaking as someone who's built a few HGs but hasn't really put a lot of time in the hobby overall, how are the Re/100s? There are a few suits in the line that I like a lot and I've been considering picking up (specifically the Dijeh, Mk III and Efreet). I hear that they're about HG level but scaled up to MG size, is that accurate?

>>14490066
RG I. Justice when?

>>14490260
hg when? Fuck!

>>14490260

Pretty much. They're a lot of fun to build too.

>>14490260
Construction is HG style.
Outer armor is MG style.

As a person who doesn't give a fuck about inner armor because it's only going to be covered, RE/100 are really good.

Anyone know how to make stickers that weren't applied fast enough stick again? Just applied the two crazy forked stickers that go around the upper intakes on the VF-31 and the thin parts of the sticker keep popping off after being pressed down...

>>14490276
apply a clear coat on top of them to help keep them down

>>14490272 >>14490275
Cool, thanks guys. Will probably pick one up on my next pay. Looking forward to building again.

Hi /m/
I read the guide, but I didn't find the answer to my question, so I'll ask it here.
I've been wondering how to paint gunpla the right way. I'm not new to painting (been working on warhams for eight years now) but I've never painted anything this big with this much detail before. How do you guys do it? Do you paint the parts on the sprue, then do touchups when removing them? Do you paint and seal each piece individually before assembly to prevent stuff scratching, rubbing or dirtying during assembly?

>>14490339
I also painted warhammer for years, and what works for me is i snapbuild the kit first, then take it apart into sections that will be main colours, such as inner frames, different coloured plates, etc, then i paint those, then seal them when painted

>>14490339
I'm new to painting Gunpla myself but I'm pretty sure it goes
>Cut piece out
>De-Nub
>Clean if needed
>Prime if needed
>Paint
>Panel Line/Panel Wash when dry
>Top coat
>Assembly.
I believe you do assembly last because sometimes parts will cover each other up so you'll end with some pieces with uneven distribution.

>>14490339
What you don't want to do is paint the pieces on the runners, it's a bigger pain to clean up after nub marks and sanding than any other method. Generally, you want to paint pieces either individually or as a sub assembly depending on the piece and colouring. For example, you may want to keep the lower half of the leg assembled and paint the whole thing a solid colour, while you may want to paint some of the smaller details on the face as individual pieces.

>mg g-self never

>>14490647
It seems even though the blu rays sold better, the gunpla didn´t and Bandai just wants to forget about the whole line.

anyone else get turned on by these things?

I want to start painting some kits. Maybe just some HGs since they are cheapest and easily replaceable.
Wanted to ask if anyone here has hand painted any kits before? I can't really afford a spray kit, so I was wondering what kind of results can be achieved with a brush and paint.

>>14490909

Don't bother unless you are Bob Ross tier. Just get some cans.

>>14490909
small detailing you can probably get away with.

painting a whole kit by hand will take up a lot of time if you're being a perfectionist. A long time

>>14490732
Huh

nice, think I would purchase it just for that but I like the unconventional design too

>>14490919

Thanks. I'll try it out on some spoons and GMs then.

>1/100
>Did I do good?

No, you bought the worst scale out there. There is literally no good reason to buy 1/100 when 1/144 does it better and with more kits to boot. If you go for the size, why get something only slightly larger than 1/144 when you could go PG. 1/100 is for hamhanded snapfags who lack the dexterity and precision to work with the superior 1\144 scale.

Patience, properly thinned paint and some decent brushes. I usually stick to using vallejo model color.
I really need to finish something else because I'm getting sick of posting this gm.

I am never buying spray topcoat ever again.
I'll spray it on a model, and it -always- fucks up a shoulder part and ruins it, and then I have to go out and buy a whole 'nother model just for another fucking shoulder piece.

Pretty sure its the new space type graze. And graze is already the MP version of grimgerde.

>>14491218
Are you actually spraying a whole kit as is oob?

If you are en separate it by section to paint for even paint and total coverage, while masking poly caps.

I usually separate the kit into five parts: head, arms, legs. Then take out the poly caps if is easy or mask with tape

Then practice on some cheap kit first

>>14491449
You're probably right on this, but things like sense and logic are not the Carta Issue way.

>>14491478
I'd love to start recasting, believe you me, but right now is not that time, both for the reasons previously mentioned and more.

I'm perfectly willing to pay someone to recast it, even if I can do it on my own. I'd still like it to be done better, faster, and hopefully in more widespread a manner than I can currently manage.

>>14491463
Aside from the color and decal selection, are there any new parts for it?

>>14491535
Looking at the images here http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000105753/
No, none. Same weapons, same shield, same backpack, just everything in a different colour

Really liking the look of the MG X and Freedom 2.0 so far. Which one should I get for my next MG?

>>14491463
Not gonna lie, I'm not a fan of the GM sniper. His arms seem disproportionately small to his body and he looks really clunky holding his gun.

How much do you thin your vallejo? I have gunpla markers and some bright vallejo colors. I'm planning on using the markers on the frame arm girl I'm working on right now, and applying the primer and top coat by hand. Is that a good plan?

I have dark vallejo paints coming in the mail next week. Should I wait for them or just say fucj it and roll with the markers? I only have red and purple paints right now left over from the zaku I was doing last week.

I was only going to paint the metallic parts of her kit for now because I'm not confident about my flesh tones.

so if i immediately fell in love with the Mack Knife design and havent even watched the show is it worth it to get the 1/144?
or is it a mediocre kit?

Sazabi deviates from the orignal design too much. Just look at all the necessary openings it has (that i circled). It's a wonder how simply shaking the kit doesn't incur all the pieces falling off

>>14492015

I enjoyed building the Sazabi more. The entire "pseudo-inner frame integrated into the opening panels" gimmick is so much better than Nu's destroy mode. That plus Nu's funnels are cancer OOB. I hated that crap.

Only thing I don't like on both are the bulbous shoulder connectors.

Hate the idea of it, but gonna have to buy a whole kit for the Sinanju Ver. Ka.'s beam rifle.

Heard it's a great kit, but all I want is just the rifle. Looked all over eBay and Taobao, that was all "no bueno".

Might be a long shot, but anybody here got any trashed parts from that kit to be willing to sell?

>>14492241

Just get a bootleg Sinanju kit as a parts farm.

I have a question:

What can I do to the joints if they were fitting before but after I paint the parts they don't fit as well as they should. I covered the male and female parts with masking tape before painting and applying a dullcoat and even cleaned the parts with thinner just in case. Pic related.

Also who ever did the line art for Tallgeese Centurion way back when, thanks. I hope I did it some type of justice. I still have to do some touch ups and apply decals, etc. But here it is.

>>14492272
Is it possible the paint around the joints is just sticking together and giving them a hard time? Even if nothing specifically got in the connections, the thicker parts may not be able to move around he joints as well. Try cleaning down the joints and the areas around them a second time. As a last resort, you could shave down the pegs, but that's risky.

With the new new P-bandai GM Sniper II, you'd think they'd just make a master grade already :(

>>14490129
Next month, I'm excited to get mine.

>>14491865
Less stress marks and easier clean up mainly

Anyone know if you can use clear paints to change the colour of beams?
I'm coming up with a plan for a custom that uses the DX's beam sabers but I'd want yellow or orangeish beams instead.
Would I be better off just not having it clear?

>>14492703
I just handled my Destiny for the first time in a while and it legitimately frustrated me.
>Leg pops off when I take it off the base
>Small parts fall off with the tiniest touch
>Small parts fall off without even being touched

>>14492875
Try it on the runners.

You can paint it a similar color to what it is but a color change will bleed through

>>14492875
i think you'd need to mix with the color of the beam plastic. because you going for transparency, the colors will mix with one transparent on top of another rather than one paint covering another.

>>14492978
Yeah that's what I was thinking.
It's a lime green so it's not too far off from yellow, so that should be fine, hopefully.

>>14492895
I will once I actually get the paints for it, but I'd also rather not get paint that I won't even end up using if this shit doesn't work.

>>14492955
solution is to use multiple layers or a more opaque primer like grey

>>14492875
clear is difficult, you'd get an effect more like putting layers of coloured cellophane ontop of eachother it'll just tint different colours

>>14493086
What about painting a beam saber chrome silver and then a clear color on top of that? Would that look any good?

>>14493090

I thin 1:1 with vallejo's own thinner. I don't imagine you'll get great results doing the primer and topcoat by hand though. I'd wait for the other paints to come in the mail.

>>14492015
I liked it, the funnels are absolute shit though.

>>14493732

Please elaborate.

>>14492318

The parts connect, but when I try to move them they pop out of place.

I thought about shaving the pegs but as a last resort. I used a q-tip to clean all around and inside it, but I will give it another once over.


Thanks!

The 1/144 version didn't include the visor part for some reason.

>>14493951

I don't know if this is physically possible, but can the Build Burning be assembled by putting the ball for the shoulder joint into the poly cap socket before the socket goes into the collar that surrounds it? That basically fixed the V2 Assault Buster, which uses the same poly caps for its wings.

>>14494261
The socket isn't a polycap on the BB. It's a part made of PS like the newer joints.

>>14494266
Disregard, I am an idiot and there is a polycap.

I lost the beam magnum's magazine, feels bad man. Have any of you lost pieces of your kits in stupid ways?

>>14495067
just buy a new one.
What are you, poor?

>>14495067
The only thing I ever 'lost' was my Revive Gundam's beam sabre. It fell under my bed-head. Was a bitch to recover.

>>14494896
It's not really the strength of the joint that is the problem. It's the intrinsic mechanical design of the arm/shoulder that sacrifices stability for range of motion. IMO so take it with a grain of salt

Is topcoating what separates the men from the babbies?

>>14495713

Topcoat is the entry level shit to make your gunpla not look like ass.

>>14495713
You don't have to topcoat everything.
For exemple, I never topcoat alclad II

>>14495717
Sounds about right. I've only finished one build so far, and working on my second. If it's true that it's one can per model, then I'm probably only gonna topcoat my Psycho Zaku for now.

What do you guys use for topcoating?
Testors or Tamiya?
I keep seeing comments about Testors causing decals to blister and panel lines to get kind of runny.

>>14489430
this picture just made me order that gouf

...thanks anon

>>14495944

Tamiya's is easier to use by far. I think it even sprays out of the can more finely. Pretty sure all Testors has over it is availability and price. That said, Testors is perfectly usable as long as you do multiple light coats. Spray light, wait for that to set, then spray a little harder next time around.

If you do, you shouldn't have any problems. If you don't, you'll get the runny panel lines and blistered decals.

>>14495972
The idea of runny lines and blistered decals really scares me as it'll be my first time going through the process. So, I'll probably grab Tamiya in the end.

>>14495862
There no mods in /m/ bruh.

>>14495980

You faggot, it's not that hard to deal with, you would have to be hosing your shit down with Testors to get your lines to run. Just a couple quick passes, wait several hours, then another few passes, and you're fine.

>>14495994

I was posing my 00 Seven Swords/G and forgot to put the little adapter piece you use to store the gunblade thing on the right shoulder away. Didn't think more about it for a couple of months, then I took the thing down to give it another pose, and couldn't find the adapter.

I kept looking for the thing off and on for nearly *two years* before it turned up, but I finally found it on a table that was full of stuff I'd put there while looking for the part.

I need to invest in something to keep all the weird odd bits in...

does anyone else with the MG Turn X have problems with the backpack? mine is always falling off

>>14496109
How? That shit slides in places pretty deep

>>14494896

The problem with the Try Burning is that it uses a very different poly cap that has a ball joint socket, but is designed to fit into a cylindrical socket of its own. And when you put the ball into the ball joint socket, the poly cap expands noticeably. If you put the poly cap into its recess first and then attempt to cram the ball into the socket, it won't go in all the way, and there'll be nothing holding it in place. So the Build Burning's arms, if assembled according to the instructions, will fall off a lot.

If you insert the ball into the poly cap first, and then stick the poly cap into the hole it's supposed to go in, the edges of the hole will press the edges of the ball joint socket down around the base of the ball and hold it in place securely.

But this might not actually be possible to do with the Build Burning, since the hole the poly cap goes into is actually two halves of an outer ball, and the poly cap has little tabs that prevent it from being inserted from the outside.

So, my proposed solution to any new builders of the Build Burning and its revisions is to assemble the ball without the poly cap, cut the little tabs off the side of it, thread it over the ball from the shoulder piece, and then push the poly cap into the rest of the ball from the outside. That should fix the "falling off" problem.

(the HGUC V2 Assault Buster uses the same poly caps to attach its wings, but there the poly cap can be inserted from the outside without modification. If you build that kit in the order suggested by the manual, the wings will fall off with a particularly hard stare. If you put the poly caps on the T-shaped part that the wings connect to first, and then press them into the holes they go into, the wings are never coming off again ever.)

When I pour a batch of custom mixed acrylic paint into a glass jar for bulk keeping (ie, yellow-orange/brilliant orange for gunpla yellow parts), is it preferable to mix in 1 parts acrylic medium and 1 parts acrylic retarder?

I was considering this for Vallejo paints? Anyone?

>>14496127
I don't know. the two pegs on top don't really hold that well.

>>14496199

I would personally mix it each time, mixing for each kit will make each one slightly different and you won't have so many kits with the EXACT same color on them, which is noticeable.

>>14496201
I had to look up the manual to even remember which two pegs you were talking about.
It seems you need to push the part into place until you hear a click, so it could be you just didn't push it in far enough.
I've never had my Turn X's backpack fall off, that thing's pretty damn sturdy.

>>14496215
Of course, I want to make a separate batch of a less lemony yellow in another jar.

But what can I say? I went to Yanase's site the other year and I like how he replaced the bright yellow of some of his gunpla with a warmer yellow orange.

>>14495944
I think testors is ok as long as you just do a few light coats with it. The only time I've had trouble with it was when I was still new to topcoating and laid it on too thick all at once. I used testors on this K9 and I think it came out alright, although I do prefer tamiya if I have the choice.

and yes I took the picture on top of my toilet, my bathroom has the best lighting in my apartment

>>14496215
>mix it each time

I tend to have a hard time that way, getting the color exactly right using Vallejo deep yellow + german orange/scarlet + a little white

That said when I paint teeny gunpla eyes with this, the paint gets a little... lumpy and it's not a flat even layer, even when thinned. How do I fix this? More medium? More vallejo thinner?

That's not quite the part im talking about. I'm talking about the C12/11/25 part shown here in step 1(4) where the backpack attaches to. The backpack attaches to it fine, but the C12/11/25 part always falls off the back of the Turn X.

>>14496279
Huh, weird, but same deal.
Looks like it clicks into place, and I've never personally had a problem there.
I can't really think of any other advice right now aside from make sure you don't have any nubs it the way and push it til it clicks.
If it still remains a problem falling off all the time then you could also just glue it on, but I really don't think that should be necessary.

>>14496511

Nah, I've just used all the big ones. Holy crap that was annoying. Some of those things would not stick worth a damn.

>>14496522
How are you applying them?

>>14496535
How about you learn to apply yourself, snapkunt?

>>14496522

Also, the kit itself is annoying. I can't transform it without the torso armor coming apart, so I haven't actually managed to try out the battroid mode yet. The Gerwalk mode is way too rickety for me to trust, and while the kit holds together really well in fighter mode, the landing gear sucks and the front gear doors won't stay closed. I have no idea how to display this thing like this, except maybe just biting the bullet and having it stand on its landing gear like my VF-25 kits.

>>14496535

The old fashioned way, peel them off, try to line them up properly, and when I finally get it right, rub them with a Q-tip.

It's just that all the ones I've been doing so far are very very long and slinky, so trying to get one end of the sticker aligned properly without the other end sticking to something it shouldn't is major annoying.

This way you keep talking to yourself isn't healthy and is quite frankly disturbing. Please seek psychiatric help.

Hey guys, in your opinion what's the best way to paint a monoeye? I had read that one of the best ways to get a cool eye/visor effect is with a metallic paint then a clear color paint over it, but I can't seem to find a good clear pink. I settled for clear red on my previous model, and I used a section of clear pink beam saber runner for the kit before that, but that trick won't work all the time. Should I just settle for solid pink?

See >>14496878 >>14496883

I would appreciate snapshit's "contributions" if his models weren't so bad looking and he stopped being such a shit disturber

>>14496926
I've seen some people just pick up like bags of small fake jewels that they glue on, those can look pretty damn good.

Taking off your trip doesn't change who you are, snapshit. You're a stubborn ass who refuses to even panel line, no wonder /toy/ kicked you out the moment they saw you coming.

Nobody cares about your shitty undetailed no-effort snaps. No matter how much you have to invent conversation to even post them, nobody will care because it's something that a ten-year-old could do. You're just worthless.

For clear colours, you can add some food colouring to future. Club House even makes a pink food colouring in their neon colours 4 pack.

>>14496957
He can post, I don't mind when he posts upcoming releases, but his models look like shit. It's like everyone forgot all he originally did was post the exact same poorly build g-reco kits over and over again, multiple times per thread.

If you're going to regularly post models here, at least put some effort into them.

>>14496968
I think >>14496834 did more damage than you did. I was actually wondering why it was grey too.

Snapbuilders should not be praised, but they should also not be shunned.

When are Koto's LED Saber's going to be in stock?

Yeah, that sounds similar to how I used the clear pink runner, but the kit I'm working on now is the Gouf R35, and the eye can move around. I'm afraid that adding a large physical piece like that might impair movement. Thanks though, I'll certainly keep that in mind for other future kits

>>14496972
>For clear colours, you can add some food colouring to future.
Holy shit, does that actually work? I may have to give that a try. The only bottle of Future I have though has yellowed a little bit, so I don't know if that would have an impact. I might be able to get some new stuff though. This is the same stuff, right? It just doesn't say "Future" on it? Or is this a new product with a different formula?

>>14496993
I agree they shouldn't be shunned, but then again, most snapbuilders don't act like they're better than everyone else.

>>14497004
From what I've read, it's the same formula just rebranded

I don't really understand why snapbuilders post their kits. I'm a snapbuilder, mostly because I don't have an airbrush yet, but I don't really see any reason to upload pictures of my entirely generic snapped 'n panel lined kits that are the exact same as anyone else's. It just doesn't seem like anyone would be interested in pictures of my kits until I make something with actual effort put in that I'm proud of, so what would be the point?

>>14497016
Exactly. He's not just a snapbuilder, he's also a shitposter and will be treated as such.

That's good news, thank you. I'll give that a shot

>>14497012
Oh yeah, that is, word-for-word exactly what I did for my 08th MS Zaku a while back and it worked fantastically. But, like mentioned before, I'm worried that adding a physical piece might hinder the movement range of a moveable visor

>>14497051
Then yeah, pink food coloring mixed with pledge is probably your best bet.

Just be sure to use the Finish/Varnish, not the cleaner. As a side note, this trick also works with most liquid acrylic gloss's from the art store as well since that's essentially what Pledge is.

>>14496917
Because I realize that people don't want to see my shitty snap-fitted models. I'm not proud of them and don't think I'm at a level to post in the thread, so I won't.

>>14497119
We're not shitting on the guys who want to post theirs. We're shitting on one snapfitter in particular because he shitposts.

>>14497119
Nothing wrong with posting a snapfit. Just don't post it and say "it's done, no more work to be had here and it looks great" or "this is my 35th snapbuild, too lazy to detail". Snapshit does both of these. We offer constructive criticism and support for real builders but snapshit has no desire to improve so we have no desire to see his same shitty work for the thousandth time.

The main difference between your regular OoOut-of-Box poster and Snapshit is that the OoB poster doesn't proclaim that his most recent kit is the greatest accomplishment in this thread. Snapshit is disliked for his holier than thou attitude, his obvious samefagging, and his incessant shitposting both in and out of Gunpla General (And that's with the possibility that he isn't the misnamed filename guy). The one thing I'm glad about him is that he's admitted that he's purely a gundamfag, so basically any other show on /m/ is safe from him.

I mean fuck, the guy was patting himself on the back for using some glue to hold a thruster in place like it was some big ordeal. It's not like everyone in these threads are master builders who work solely on resin garage kits but don't brag about doing a simple task that anyone here has most likely done

>>14497169
He made a reddit account that was litterally "shitpostingfag"
If you don't think that's an admission to being a shitposter, you're delusional.

>>14497178
>posts photo of snapfit providing info on a display stand

also why should I care about him shitposting on reddit? it's ironic people get their panties twisted when they can just ignore it when no one is really "anonymous" there

if you really have a problem with his posts just filter his trip. you don't have splerg out when ever snapfit posts a something you don't like because its snapfitted. honestly sounds like you're making a mountain out of a molehill just so YOU can shitpost. there's really not much else to say

anyone who has been here since GBF aired knows that snapfag is the image spammer, he started off spamming the same dozen pics of his shitty built g-reco kits and then switched to misnamed files cause his images kept being deleted

>>14497044
It's partially just because people like that particular model.
It also helps with general feedback, say if you see someone posting a kit you're interested in, they don't need to have painted it to be able to tell you how the build went and what problems the model has.
Plus there's also a bit of pride people feel once they finished snapping together something. Sometimes it's someone's first or second model ever, and even if they don't consider it finished, just the act of putting together a model can be relaxing and refreshing in a way.

At least that's my guess.

Hey senpai, the head crest on my Rx-78-2 3.0 vanished without a trace. Does Bandai Japan send parts to the US still? Or can someone post a pic of their box with the Bluefin sticker on it so I can get it from them?

>>14497512
lel, word replacement

Should I go for the MG Hyaku Shiki 2.0 or MG Chars Gelgoog?

I for one don't mind snapshit. Hes like a dumb little brother

>>14497604
which design do you prefer more, do you paint your kits?

its worth keeping in mind that the gelgoog will have waterslides restocked in 12 days

does gloss top coat fog up clear parts?

Reminder that everyone who defends snapshit or even talks about him, is probably also him. Just ignore. Do not respond.
