Well, that's why I haven't ordered anything in a month. It's hard, though, because I doubt seam removal, painting and all that other shit is as calming and meditative as just snapping something together. I want to get into it, but I don't know if it can replace my desire to build things.

>>14571144

If you're content to just snapbuild it's fine, as long as you're doing it well with panel lining and proper nub removal. If seam welding and painting seem dull to you, the answer is to work on two kits at a time, so you have something to do while waiting for the paint to dry.

Need ideas on what to do with all my gunpla boxes

My gf is going to throw them out unless I throw her ass out first

Hey /m/! few weeks ago I asked for some advice turning a Titus into a subtle Maxter Tribute. Well halfway through I got the frankensteining fever and used some parts from a Zeong model and I gotta say, for a first time custom job I'm really really happy! Beam knees, laser fingers, custom paint job, and the sexy Maxter face-shield. Mmmm~ Anyway, just wanted to share and say thanks!

>>14571200
It doesn't seem dull, it just seems like it'd have a different kind of appeal. I like snapping things up while listening to podcasts and seiyuu radio shows, and I doubt I'll want to do that while painting.

>>14571206

Ask her why she wants to throw out shit that isn't hers.

>>14571212

That looks pretty nice. Good job.

>>14571222

You don't have to paint if you don't want to. But the actual painting process takes like, a minute. Most of the time spent painting is masking, thinning the paint, setting up the pieces to paint them, waiting for paint to dry, etc. You could easily do your weeaboo shit while doing all that.

>>14571206

>>14571212
Oh hey, I remember you. Good to see the build turned out well.

>>14571226
Nah, I want to paint, I just don't know if I want it badly enough to spend 200 yuros on an airbrush setup.
I'll probably do it in the end but I've currently still got some doubt.

I bought two kits almost a week ago now, the Zaku I Thunderbolt HG and Ryusei-Go Graze HG.

I'm pretty new to kit building in general and was wondering how the fuck am I suppose to separate some parts after they have been attached, as I now know what colors I want to paint them with. Is there any kind of tools or techniques I should be using?

>>14571234
Its more like 90 euros, I think

sorry, americafriend and I'm not sure on the exact conversion

>>14571239
I was recommended an Iwata NEO CN, which costs 75 euros. Sadly the Iwata NEO Mini Compressor costs 135 euros.

>>14571236
Cut pegs at an angle to reduce surface area and friction, you can use a plastic cement or putty to cement them together if the part winds up being too loose.

>>14571284

If I already have it built am I fucked?

For the most part I can section off stuff but things like small detail parts I think I'll need to mask and paint by hand.

>>14571289

You can try to get your nail or the edge of your knife under the part and gently wiggle the pieces apart. For some parts that have a very tight fit, you'll just end up damaging the part. But it should work in most cases. Just have to be very gentle.

>>14571355
couldn't tell what are the contents though.

so it's just runners on paper and a manual?

>>14571332
so I guess, paint the surface black and mask the parts for yellow?

>>14571206
Pin them to your wall and display your gunpla on top of them.

>>14571369

Yeah, it should not be too hard. Remember to apply a glosscoat after you paint it black so your tape doesn't tear off the black when you mask. Although if you use that modeler grade Tamiya tape even that is unlikely to happen.

Suomi perkele.

>>14571374
thanks a lot! Kiitos paljon!

I wish Dalong did system weapons and other such builder's parts.

Like I want to see what the 007 system weapon looks like with this attachment on the rocket, but there's like no images on the internet and the only three people who have it just take it out of the box and do nothing, or have voices so ear rapingly high pitched or nasally that I can't bear to keep the video up.

I'll ask again since I posted just when the thread died.

What kit and scale would you like to have announced no matter what the IP? Bonus points for notGundam.

I'd love a MG Helldiver, the UN spider tank in patlabor 2 and the spider tank from the first ghost in the shell movie. In 1/35. A 1/12 gecko from MGS4, and all the other main metal gears in 1/100, from Main series ones like TX-55 to offshoots like the Gander.

I want to buy some of the old victory 1/144 kit. Do you people know where I could buy them?

Some of the bots from Final Fantasy Type Zero looked nifty. Not this thing in particular, but I recall the boss robutt you fought at the end of the prolouge was hella nifty looking.

Now by kit are you meaning like something you'd have to build, or do you just want a scale fig you can just buy and place on your shelf in one fluid motion without stopping?

>>14571784
I'd like a 18cm Zearth because I really like Bokurano. A new updated Huckebein 009 would also be sweet

Sometimes I wonder if people know how mentally handicapped they are.

how hard would it be to make some "battle scars" on a gunpla? something like explosion marks, bullet hits or other stuff

it probably would require fine painting jobs and scratching/piercing/damaging the parts and I'm not sure how it would affect the integrity of the model.

It's for a hook part that holds the bazooka when it's not in use.

>>14573591
Oh, cool. I've been thinking about getting the Origin Zaku for a while now, especially after all the pictures that anons have been posting about it.

>>14573623

It's a good kit. I was hamhanding it and broke off the peg holding the big rifle into the hand, and it still manages to hold the rifle anyway. Impressed.

>>14572978
good god i am in love with this thing

>>14573640
Yes. We know.

>>14573548
Better than I could do

>>14573630
That's cool. I honestly forgot about the handle pegs, I was worried about how well the gun and especially the heat hawk would fit, but I guess that's not something I need to worry about anymore.

I really hope they make a revive GM or an Origin GM too, to go along with it.

>>14573690

Literally the only flaw I can think of with the kit is that the rifle is too big, so as impressive as it looks, you're probably going to need to have it use both hands to hold it unless you tighten the joints with some superglue. And when you use both hands, the rifle is so big you have to fiddle around a little bit. That's why my hand pegs broke off.

Other than that it's nearly perfect. Almost a full inner frame, amazing posability, looks fantastic even with just panel lines.

>>14573697
Zaku I is probably my favorite looking grunt in UC.

I remember hearing that the power for the Zaku I wasn't very good. Is that why they never have thrusters on their legs?

>>14573704
Thanks for letting me know, I'll make sure to be careful when posing it. I'm surprised about the inner frame part though, didn't expect that from it.

The color of the plastic looks like shit though, in my opinion. If I could, I wish I could paint it the standard Zaku green.

Hey guys, is a matte topcoat gonna fuck up the crinkled plastic coverings on the MG Thunderbolt Gundam? Seems like it would be a pain in the ass to mask but if I have to, I will.

>>14573079
Salt gun for scratches, or .22 for a bazooka hole. I want to see what happens with some .357 into an HG to get some dead gunpla, or even step up to .45 for something like a reactor explosion.

Can't look worse than the Fireworks GM.

>>14573891
I would not recommend mixing them it. Try what you suggested first, primer then gloss black then metallic on a spare part or a plastic spoon. You may need to buff the pieces after to make them shine.

>>14573079
I've heard burning a stick of balsa wood and using the ember to do laser damage works, and i've tried it, I like how it turned out. it also leaves behind soot if done right, so it's already done when you take the ember out, just needs a matte coat

>>14573933
I would test fit and then take off all the parts from the inner frame and paint each piece rather than the whole kit. That way you don't have to worry about messing up that vinyl wrap

>>14573949
Alright, I'll try that, thanks. Should I wet sand the metallic layer or just apply a coat of Future and wet sand that instead? Or both?

>>14573977
Buff the metallic layer if you need to, but don't over do it since some of the paint may rub off. Depending on how shiny you want it, I would not recommend a top coat on those pieces unless you want a slighty duller finish. Alclad does have super glossy clear coat to maintain a super reflective shine, although I never used it.

It depends on what paints you use, how shiny they are, buffing tolerances etc. Practice is key.

>>14574020
Alright, I'll keep this in mind and practice this. Thanks, anon.

>>14573769
It's bretty good. I use black personally, but I'll transition to grey at some point.

>>14573975
Not painting this kit, just applying waterslides and sealing them with a flat matte topcoat.

I've already assembled one arm with the vinyl/plastic "cloth" underneath. It's a one way deal I'm afraid. There's really no good way of taking it off for disassembly once it's on without ruining the material altogether.

>>14573534
The MG has an inner frame and is all around a more solid kit.
The 1/100 NG is like a beefed up HG. The differences in color is that the NG is a slightly lighter shade of blue and red and the stickers. Things like the raisers wings have blue stripes on the side.

Quite frankly, given that the price difference is 15 dollars, I don't know why anyone would buy the NG when the MG exists.

Just actually built that kit. You get most of the parts you'd need to convert a Cannon into a basic Jesta (one shoulder, one shin, and all the Jesta's weapons), so with two you could theoretically make a Jesta out of a Cannon. The only difference is that the it'd be stuck with the Cannon's bulkier neck collar.

This guy was just a posing nightmare for me to the point that I didn't even do a photoshoot with him. I hooked him up to a base, got him in a passable pose, and put him on a shelf with no intention of ever touching him again.

Is there any way to thin gundam markers? I've tried lighter fluid, enamel and acrylic thinner and it just wont mix and trying to find anywhere that sells model paints in northern ireland is just about impossible.

So the Kotobukiya formula model kit have an inner frame.

>>14574877
RG can be a bit delicate, but they're a step up if you're still a little unsure about tackling a MG. IME they're also good to practice panel lines on.

The RG Titans MK II one of my favorite kits and one of the most structurally sound RGs right now. Plus it comes with the extra parts to give you the option to make the test version which I think looks even cooler than the regular MK II imo, so that's definitely an awesome feature. Also you can never go wrong with the titans color scheme.

I can't personally speak on the Nu but I have heard it is awesome as well and I have plans to get one at some point.

If price really isn't an issue I would say get both honestly. They are both really nice kits but if you are just gonna pick one I'm gonna be biased and say go with the MK II.

>>14574602
For me it was the Destiny EBM. The back weapons refused to lock properly, the legs were loose and the back hinges were stiff. I'm pretty sure it's because of the silver coating, but either way I was disappoint.

I am in love with the RG MKII. I suggest getting 4 of the RG's, three for the Titans squad as it comes with the pieces to make any of them and another for the Chinese Barzam Refine conversion (glue heavy) kit which looks amazing as well.

The nu ver ka is also as beautiful at a larger scale but consider getting the funnel expansion (p-bandai or knock off) to give that bitch some major presence as a model.

I ho early believe both are the best of their individual grades so either way you can't go wrong.

How the hell do you get lower part of the shield to connect to the upper part on the MG Mark II 2.0? The little teeth-thingies constantly fall off the part they're supposed to be attached to, no matter the angle or direction the upper part of the shield is facing. It's like they were designed without gravity in mind or something.

At this point I'm seriously tempted just to glue the upper and lower halves together because this is a poorly-designed mess.

Why in the world would we want 3 Wing RGs? If there's another Wing suit, the Epyon, Tallgeese, or one of the other mains would make far more sense.

Personally, I'm on the UC train, so I'd like the Mk. II frame turned into the Alex, if possible. Only the wrist gattlings ought to prove an issue - even if they decided to add chobham armor, given how fuck-huge the pieces would be, it should still be doable.

Anti-ship Rifle for gun and plain old MS Fists for melee.

So, I have a question.
Ive been getting rid of the sprues in multiple ways to test (sandpaper or file) and ive been finding the file works a lot better (sandpaper leaves this dull sanded look on the parts it touches, which is almost impossible not to do when the nub gets to almost nothing, and its obvious where it was sanded), but every single thing ive seen says use both, or just sandpaper.

What am I doing wrong. I got 150 and 300 grit and even auto sandpaper to sorta 'finish' it, but even then I can still tell where it was sanded. Am I wrong for liking to file it down instead and what am I doing wrong with the sandpaper.

>>14576610

It still is.

>>14576684
Use higher grit. 1500 or 2000. Or, if you really want that part to shine, even higher grit from micromesh pads and sheets.

>>14577085
white primer for vibrancy, but it's probably also the lighting setup, the contrast with the background and a little digital retouching

>>14577085

That's just normal paint

It stands out or "pops" because of the dark background and the grey base color and lighting

If Jimmy was white you probably wouldn't think much of it

If it's the brightness you mean, that's because it's not just your normal blue but would have a tiiiny bit of cyan to it (forming something closer to cerulean than blue), whether mixed in by the painter or sold as a ready made mix in some paint brand.

>>14576685

>>14577501
In the future, consider working with tiny pieces like that in a plastic bag/trash bag, like hands and runners inside the bag, so if things are flying off vertically or whatever they will hit the bag and fall within. Alternatively you could work over or (hands and tools) inside a cardboard box. I'm not sure when you are loosing hold of them, but if you contain your work area things won't go bouncing off into the ether.

>>14577501
I held the parts while I cut the last gate so they couldn't fly off, then kept them in the box and only put them in place while holding the parts in that box, overkill maybe but I didn't lose any. And yeah cleaning the nubs on all those tiny ass ones wasn't fun.

They didn't fly off when I even took them off the runners. I held them in place with an alligator clip when I took them off. It was when I was placing one in its slot, and it shot off. Then, I decided to try with tweezers and it shot out of the hold. Thanks for the tips, anons. Is there any chance any of those other bits are spares? I skimmed through the instructions and I only saw G5 on the high torso.

You'll get the same old Hi Nu shit mold and articulation.

Sadly it uses every single one of those thrusters, you can tell which parts are leftovers cause they have an X over them in this part of the manual

>>14577696
Huh. Guess I'll come across it at that point and hope they don't look bad without 'em.

So for the longest time, I had the v1 MG Char's Zaku and while moving it, I snapped the leg, I just picked up the v2 MG Char's Zaku, does anyone know how they compare?

>>14577703
It's better.

>>14577702
If you lost them to carpet, pantyhose over the end of a vacuum hose. If hardwood/laminate, look with a bright flashlight and move it around lots looking for the shadows.

Unlikely since the stickerfest full armor, and the transformation would be a pain

I'd really like one of the Seed Destiny Zaku, those always looked neat

maybe not for you. I got an advance one and surprise surprise its great just like all the revives so far. Not allowed to post it yet but when it gets closer to the release I will.

>>14576684
150 and 300 generally too rough for the plastic. Usually I stick to 600, and finish with 1000. That being said, nips seem to like to use files (it's even how they show building them in GBF), but they can eat through plastic, so it becomes harder to correct mistakes you make

I don't stop by these threada all that often. Was just wondering if i wasted my money?

>>14578658
No? All those kits are pretty solid.

>>14578131
While I understand what you're saying, at the same time it really can't be too much different from the Delta Plus, Delta Kai, Delta Gundam, or Mega Shiki. The legs, arms, head, and torso are all the same as parts on at least one of the previously listed kits for the most part. The only things that seem new to me are the feet, the shoulders and the backpack.

Even though I have all of the Deltas and two Mega Shikis, I'll probably end up getting this too. Kinda too far in to Shiki land to stop now. I wonder if there will be a p-bandai MP and/or a FA version released down the line.

Come on anon. The least you could have done was put a red dot sight on it.

>>14578674
Actually it's probably an all new mold that uses the more modern, smaller polycap tree by the look of it. Based on the promo pics it has balljoint shoulders which means retooling the entire torso. And so far each revive has been an entirely new mold. The rx-78 and redwarrior don't even share any parts despite being released close to each other and it would have been easy enough to do so.

And I don't see a revive kit taking the bulk of its parts from a mold that is now around 6 years old.

And actually there is a preview of the runners up and yes, it has the smaller polycap tree. It's a new mold and not the delta mold like the mega shiki was.

I'm glad I bought the 1/144 Sinanju Decal Set in preparation.

>PG gunpla came in today.

Should i just go really slowly?
Maybe I'm just not ready....

Those delicious fat thighs though.

>>14579065
Is that a Origin Zaku Custom?

>>14579058

You sound like you're going to put it in your ass.

>>14579073
Someone has probably tried and the thought of that scares me

>>14579071
Yup.

>>14579065
Is it alright to directly mattcoat the glossy red or is there a special way to do it?

>>14579193
I mean if you want it glossy I wouldn't recommend the mattcoat but yeah you're fine.
