Any tips on how to loosen the stiff joints on RG frames?

>>14519898
You don't want to do that. Just be patient when adjusting them.

>>14519898
Can't you just decrease surface area contact or lubricate the joint? Just use some common sense.

>>14519898

What is the point with this kit anon ?

>>14519981
To make us not want a MG, but it only makes me want a MG more. Why would I only want to build half a kit, Bandai? What are you thinking?

>>14519981
If you want a PG but don't have enough space left.

All for the same price.

>>14520320
G-Self's horns go the other way anon. Though I suppose it could be backwards.

>>14520320
It's not backwards, so not G-Self

>>14519898
Be careful trying to loosen up RG joints. From my experience with them they can go from too tight to too loose very quick. Double-check that all the sliding parts are hooked up & cut out properly, then try working the joint again. After that, hit them with a little lube. I would not recommend shaving down parts just because those frames are so delicate.

>>14519981
Experimenting and trying to find new ways to resell you your favorite kit, along with what >>14520036 said. Just catering and trying to find a crowd that's willing to pay PG price and detail at MG scale.

Though, I think it's a failed one that's gonna be one-off. If the High Resolution Barbatos sold well, we'd already be swarmed with High Resolution RX-78-2, Strike, or whatever other popular kit, maybe even a High Resolution Zaku II, Char custom or MP.

What's on everybody's desk right now? I just snapped together my The O. Waiting to see if any of the thrusters will need glue.

Re-uploaded different pic to show the messala's yellow beams can fit into The O's beam sabre hilts. It's in the left hand.

>>14520997
My model had problems with the back and front leg plates holding onto that rectangular peg, for some reason.

>>14521008
Well I think with The O there might be quality control issues. All of the tiny black thrusters fit differently, some oddly. I will eventually have to glue something.

As for the leg plates that was some inherent marks on mine. Must be from the odd shape and the engineering at the time it was made.

What are some good cheap Kotobukiya kits? I'm on budget now because college

>>14521022

The 1/144 or whatever Muv Luv shits are like 2500-2900 yen apiece. You can literally get them off Amazon Prime for 30 bucks and under.

If you want to buy from Japan you could get some of the old Armored Core kits for around the same price, and the Megaman kits are cheaper, and I think some old SRW kits and the Etrian Odyssey girl kits(Sniper and Imperial Soldier) are also around 30 USD. The Phantasy Star Online kits, the older ones, are also around that price, maybe less.

But most of those kits are worse than the Muv-Luv kits in terms of the plastic quality, engineering, etc.

Astray Out Frame

I've gotten a big problem today.

I found one of my primer cans (Duplicolor) leaking from the nozzle and other seams/openings. So there was a clear liquid dribbling out and I'm very much sure from the smell that it's the solvent.

How do I remedy this? If I can't remedy it, how do I safely dispose or disable the aerosol can?

Just ignore him. He's so attention starved that all he does is talk to himself. He probably won't go away for a long time but eventually he might kill himself. Just ignore and hope.

>>14521152
I fucking wish ignoring worked, but he's been here for so fucking long shitposting every day and ban evading every time he starts spamming images. I came here, got chewed out for being a filthy snapfaggot and fixed my shit, it wasn't hard but it was easy, why can't he put forth the same effort? It's fucking disgusting.

>>14521166

If you talk about him, you will be treated as him, because he is known to reply to himself. Fuck off.

>>14521189

Nah, just flip a coin. Once you actually have both, you'll only feel more indecision. Trust me. Better to just have one and get it out of your system.

>>14521182
There's plenty of shit to get worked up over, but I'm fucking tired of his shit, and I know everyone else is either, but I guess there's fuckall we can do since he just ban evades every single day.
>>14521176
I'm well aware he replies to himself, but thinking I'm him is downright retarded since he only does it to praise himself or ask questions to himself. I wish there was better options then ignoring the fuckhead.

>>14521166
I know, I feel the same way. Just don't let it get to you. We tried pointing these things out to him when he first arrived and we didn't get anywhere, there's not much else left to do. Posters like him and the current Kuromukuro rager get off scot-free and that's just the way it is. I'm currently working on being a better painter so that when he posts his fucking garbage I can reply with something that looks professional. Eventually I hope the general can come together to be able to blow every single one of his shitty builds out of the water.

I'm actually depressed at how much money he wastes on the hobby, really. And then to come here and expect recognition for throwing it away is embarassing.

>>14521202
>>14521204

Seriously, only going to post this once, but if you talk about him, that's what he wants. You don't get it. Someone posted an essay on /m/ like a week ago about shitposter dynamics, how every board has a couple severely autistic no-life dudes who just shit up the board to make some kind of name for themselves and rile people up.

You can either take it to mods directly in their 4chinz IRC and try to get him kill-on-sight banned or you can ignore it. And since mods don't seem to ban him, ignoring it is your one choice.

Guy spends years and hundreds of dollars to troll a single 4chan board. Who fucking cares. Stop talking about it. Ignore him, ignore everyone who replies to him. Let's move on from this.

Why the shit are you asking for a Ground Gundam revive? The Ground Gundam kit already out is a superb kit that has little to nothing that needs updating

There are so many other kits that actually DESERVE a revive

Excuse me, I'm just salty that Bandai won't make a fucking GM revive

The Ground Gundam Revive came out already, it's called the Origin Gundam Local Type.

This is your chance to try.

Get some sandpapers, a plastic saw, some plastic cement, and make King Gyan with a double wide chest, two or three heads, four arms, and elevated legs.

MG God Gundam 2.0 P-Bandai confirmed!

>>14521814
You don't usually use it like normal plastic cement, it works better if you apply it into thin cracks (ie seams) and let capillary action work its magic.

is it worth that much?

We tried taking this to the IRC, they ignored us because... I don't really get why, the one who handled it was stupid about it or something.

I understand that I'm about to sound like a newfag, but what exactly is entailed when you call people snapfags?
Is that just people who do straight-assembly with no painting?
Is it building it and painting it, but with no customizations? Even then, do part replacement customs count, or does it have to be scratched?

I've been here for over 2 years now, but I always see people using this term in different ways, was wondering if there's a general consensus on a definition for it.

The Hi-Res kit is basically an MG-sized PG, but it's also got that special plating & hyper-glossed look going on. Also, the frame is solid as fuck. HLJ did a build video for the initial Hi-Res Barbatos and Syd was losing his shit over it.

Personally I'm miffed that the hi-res is so wildly different from the anime model and the gunpla. I mean, just look at it, everything about it is superior. The shoulders are nicer, the mix of blues and grays is gorgeous, the brown tones are a nice accent. All in all, this is the Barbatos we should've gotten across the board.

niiiice, tell me, just how messy are the decals for the damn funnels? Those are the ones I dread once I reach that section. Also, how backheavy it is? does it really needs the clear support base to stand up?

I'm going slow with mine, since I can only work on it on weekends and applying every single decal until they are in the perfect spot is extremely time consuming

The HWS parts are actually VERY simple, if anything the most complicated section are those extra leg armors and they are comprised of like 6 parts each only

The Funnel decals are pretty bad, after ripping most of the decals on 4 funnels I gave up and just poorly threw some purple Tamiya paint on the rest. They give you the white bits on the funnel decals separately too.

When you've got the backpack on, it's pretty bacheavy, so the little stand it comes with will help. It weirdly feels really front heavy when he's on the base the Hi-Nu comes with. Whether or not I've broken the joint on it, but just something it keep in mind.

I'll give the HWS a shot later, but going from the funnel decals, the HWS shield decals will kill me.

>>14523092
I see
given how tacked the hi nu looks with the HWS I just plan to leave it in a stand up pose, just holding its weapons
at least the decals on the shield don't wrap around surfaces, they simply are a lot, like 20 or so

I just got my RG Mk-II titans and it came with these cords.
I took a quick look at the guide but didn't really see anything about them. Is there a recommended tool for cutting them or should i just use scissors?

>>14523701
I just used my knife. There's no "right way" but you do want to avoid fraying. If it does start to fray though, a dab of nail polish can help stop it

>>14523712
Thank you very much.

>>14523701
So, a recommendation, cut a bit longer than prescribed. The cord is actually longer than what you'll need, so you should have room for at least 1cm extra if not more. I built mine over a year ago, so it's hard to ballpark exactly how much extra there is. Trim from there.

>>14523733
I learned this issue first-hand. One of the cords I cut for my Titans Mk-II on the legs is a hair too short. It also frayed. So there's one cord (out of, what, six?) that looks like shit. Then I end up with extra, but nothing long enough to replace the ugly one.

It was a harsh lesson.

wtf Bandai includes 2 multicolored runners of parts for the new armor but then just throw in 3 whole runners of a Gundam MK-II just to built a hyper bazooka? they should have just used the bazooka from the MK-II 1.0, all the parts were on a single runner and would be much cheaper.

>>14523826
P-Bandai kits are often retarded with runners. RG Zeta 3 has a lot of wasted plastic as well.

>>14523834
Z-3 was just a recolor, they got wacky with those runners to get the colors right, they did the same with my G-3 OYW. this just feels like a waste just to get one extra gun.

What pin vise do you guys use?

I'm in the market for one.

>>14523844

It doesn't actually make a difference. I use teh Hobbyco one because it comes wit a decent set of basic bits and they're all stored in the handle. As long as it's not complete shit and holds the bits, it'll work.

>>14523841
P-Bandai isn't about efficiency, it's about being lazy.

It's why they're P-Bandai to begin with.

>>14525169
is that a motherfucking shotgun?

>>14525169
I don't know what happened to richigo or ANT or all the rest, they kind of disappeared on us. And it's kind of a disgrace to even call them "builds", although I can't think of a better term because snaps doesn't sound right. Shitheaps maybe?

Playing around with Aves Apoxie Putty for the first time. Set some onto a piece that needed the back portion sculpted and a small flat putty piece onto some plaplate for detailing patterns.

When is it best to scribe detail into the putty? The packaging isn't super clear on that, it just says to let things cure 24 hours before sanding which would only apply to the piece I'm adding a back to.

>>14525175

Richigo is still around. I think ANT had to move but I also remember seeing him around recently, maybe a month ago. He's probably busy with life.

It's also not a good season for building in general. Hot and humid as fuck all over America right now.

>>14525173

>>14525187

>paint
>waterslides
>the fact that it looked like this when I started

Meanwhile Snapshit's idea of a mod is swapping beam sabers/rifles between kits

>>14525264
In that case:
no nubs
no atrocious gouged nubmarks
seams welded
painted
coated
customized
stickers all aligned nicely
attention to detail
good lighting when the photo was taken

And this is coming from someone who is still in the topcoating stage, I'm not a great builder myself but you will be able to tell the difference between a nice, clean build and snapshit's zero-effort disgraces.

Holy fucking shit stop talking about this one faggot.

>>14525363
The Type-C, and by that record the Powered and the Striker are just some of the better 1/144 GMs out there articulation and build wise. Combined with the Cardigan's ability to just strap shit to it's 10 or so hardpoints made it an easy pick for the group build compared to an older kit like the regular GM and the GM Command. I was hoping to see at least a GM Quel or a GM Cannon II here or there, but it's mainly been 0083 GMs and GM Sniper IIs

>>14525383
Whoops, my mistake. You're right though, they are great. I was going to use the powered GM as a base for my group build too until I lost motivaton.

>>14525384

Also if you're still learning, the most important thing to learn for painting is probably masking. Once you get that shit down you're on the high-road for some rad looking things.

253KB, 2400x1600px

Scratchbuilding in general is fun to learn too, but I'd only recommend it if you can find junker kits for cheap or have a lot of spare parts lying around. This sword is from an Amazing Red Warrior sword blade, a GM Bazooka, and a part from the booster of an MG Aile Strike, plus a bit of pla plate. I was gonna use it with the GM but I figured it's more of a Zeon looking design than a feddie one.

>>14525741
I'm told that plastic "For Sale" signs you can pick up at dollar stores are actually made of styrene, so I'm gonna try and see if I can get anything outta them as a cheap plaplate substitute.

But yeah, the most important skills anyone who wants to do some serious building are

>Proper sanding
>Seam welding
>Painting (Be it handbrushing, airbrushing, or rattle cans), or hell even just top coating.

Just those 3 alone are enough to improve your builds.

>>14525753
seam welding is one of those basic skills that I still haven't picked up on yet.

>>14525719
>>14525722
>>14525735
>>14525741
>>14525753

Thanks for the dump, definitely saving these. Seeing good builds get posted here pumps me up to try doing it myself.

I've gotten sanding down and I've been working on seam wielding but there are a lot of times when I get stuck since some parts can't be wielded together without forcing other pieces to get stuck with it which makes painting a bitch, like with the Type C/Powered's arm/elbow joint where the joint is supposed to be in the arm when it snaps together, how do I work around that? Do I just commit myself to masking hell?

Hey /m/
I'm getting the MG 1/100 Gundam Titus kit in the mail today and am planning on performing my first custom job ever. something incredibly small, not too huge a venture. Just what's pictured: I'm gunna pay homage to an old favorite of mine and give Titus a football-helmetish treatment like Gundam Maxter. I've read the guide and have seen some great options for how to achieve the paint job, but honestly there are so many options I don't know what to choose. ponying up for an airbrush machine might seem pretty excessive for such a relatively small change when I could dilute some paints and just do it that way. What do ya'll suggest?

The huge shoulders, hands and legs, the laser donuts and fucking LASER KNEES.

>>14526636
I'd say just start with brush painting. Get some soft brushes, and some modelling paint. I would normally recommend priming, but you could probably just get away with some light sanding since the blue and grey and much darker than the white plastic, and there won't be much rubbing except for around the neck.

Just remember to have patience and to thin your paints.

How do you guys avoid rounding out sharp/squared corners on parts when sanding off nubs?

Jep, and they're shitting out another P-Bandai HG Crossbone as well.

>>14527050
If using a knife, run it along the peice without peeling it, but with a sanding stick or paper, just swipe one way, no back and forth, and check it after each swipe

>>14527064
It looks so much better than I could've imagined.
Fucking p bandai though, it'd probably add up to $50-60 with shipping, is that worth it?

I wonder if this means we'd get an Aqua GM too somewhere along the line. We need more GMs.

>wanting a kit that is guaranteed to be a foil stickerfest

Why?

>>14527081
Are these damn things such hot sellers that Bandai really believes hocking P-Bandai versions of them will sell?

>>14527090
Because I'm not a baby and I can paint those in myself no problem

It's a great design, and I've always wanted a kit of it, fight me.

hahah oh wow
this is bullshit, the Kai Kai's only difference is the actual skull in the chest

Like you wouldn't believe

>>14527114
wait a fucking damn second
didn't they already release the HG X-1 Kai like one year ago or so? it even came with a shitty ass cape and the whole arsenal
WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY MAKE THIS?

>>14527081
Thanks doc.

>>14527128
If you wanna be technical, the HGBF X1 Kai Kai Full Cloth ver GBFT is the exact same suit model, just with shitty pearl plastic and the Full Cloth weapons set, sans screw whip.

>>14527145
>just with shitty pearl plastic and the Full Cloth weapons set
oh right, that was one fucked up model
pbandai a shit

>>14527009
I agree, I think I screwed up stickers. Shading was supposed to be much more visible. You can barely see it on a shield and mind you I shaded the whole kit.

What is the best way to put the stickers on an RG gunpla.
I want it to look as perfect as possible

>>14527094
i have 4. I love bears

>>14527155
With great care. (Use small tweezers)

>>14527094
They're amazingly popular, especially among customizers.

>>14527155

Small tweezers/toothpick, dip stickers in water beforehand so you get a little leeway with moving them on the surface of the model. Then when you apply them, gently press them down with a Q-tip.

>>14527162
>>14527171
Thanks

>>14527081
Why do people like these things so much?

>>14527181

They are cute, cheap, and easy to make.

>>14527064
>it's based on the $20 Origin kit

See all that orange? Stickers

>>14527114
To be fair, it looks like they're including ver Ka decals.

How mad would you be if this was a regular release?

>REEEE BANDAI MILKING BY RELEASING SAME SUIT AGAIN

We already have 2 different regular release Xbones

What I don't understand is why waste time with another X-1? When will they make the X-3? All the parts needed for it already have molds, except for the v-fin I'm pretty sure.

Even better, how about the X-0? If bandai made a p-bandai X-0, I wouldn't even give a fuck about it being overpriced and buy it with no regrets.

How would I go about making a Command's legs look cooler?

>>14527572

Missile pods might work.

Or additional thrusters/air intakes like the Gundam Alex has.

>>14527572
But they're already cool

In the Federation, even Kampfer is Jim.

>>14527697
The front part makes them look really bland to me

>>14527706
That looks fucking cool

>>14527064
So never ordered from GG Infinite, is it worth it or does he tack on a huge shipping bill to the $35 dollars? I need this kit more than anything so I'm going to have to get it one way or another.

>>14527081
Do they really come with little instruments? That's cute.

>>14527064
Fuck yeah called it.

>>14527572
Think of it as a big blank canvas, you have alot of possibilities with plaplate and/or scribing.

ban evading like a motherfucker

Does anyone paint their gunpla in 80-100 degree weather without any trouble?

I'm trying to decide if I should get an airbrush or not. I'm not going to have access to a climate controlled area. Painting in my garage is the best possible option, but it is always awfully hot and dry for a good part of the year.

Thanks.

>>14528026
Hot weather can dry paints too fast, so if you can, use thinner with a retarding agent in it, like Mr. Leveling Thinner. Also, Mr. Retarder. Or even both at once.

>>14528038
Thanks a lot.

>>14526636
for that mouth guard (dont know what its really called) either buy pla plate or styrene rods and glue them together. OR cut some plastic out from the runners and sand them down to your preferred size and glue them. for the paint, remember, thin your paints and multiple coats

>>14527086
If you really want it that much no price is too great. Unless it's too great but oh well that's life.

>It's fast!

So how does one go about with seam removal if I wanna paint the model? I can't wrap my head around making it work.

>>14528695
>Another gunpla guide:
>http://funakatown.com/images/Building_Gunpla_Final.pdf

This guide covers seam welding.

>>14528618
Everyone on here literally thinks they're god's gift to gundam models. Nobody ever backs it up.

>>14528701
I gave it a look but he didn't really seem to cover what I'm looking for. He talked about seam welding, then kinda just skipped to painting. Maybe I have to dig more but this didn't seem to teach me anything.

>>14528695
You weld/putty the seam, Sand, then prime and paint over them. It's not rocket science.

If you mean how you deal with parts that get locked into other parts but need to be a separate color, you either paint them beforehand, mask them, and then lock them into the part your seam welding around them and remove the mask after you finish seam welding and masking the outer parts, or else you seam weld it all together at once and go cray on the masking for different parts.

Either way you need to plan your build process out.

>>14528618
how much trouble is it to switch up your internet for all your different trips?

>>14528762
Makes sense. I really hate masking but I'll give it a shot.

>>14528773
I hate masking as well, but sometimes it's unavoidable. Especially as you go further back with older kits.

>>14528785
I don't suppose there's any kits that more friendly in this area than others? I was eyeing the Zudah but he looks like he'd be a messy dick to seal. Zee Zulu is also pretty appealing.

I was gonna practice on some petit beargguys since i've literally never sealed a seam before.

>>14528808
You want a good fodder gunpla that doesn't look half bad? Get the HG GM. Cheap and useful for any general practicing.
