I'm gonna do it. Gonna make the plunge and try to learn airbrushing. Got me a cheap Testor airbrush kit and gonna grab some cheap Testor acrylic and see what I can fuck up.

What should I look for in a primer and top coat though? The guide wasn't too specific on that and there isn't a real "hobby store" in town so I can't just waltz up and buy "Tamiya-brand thing" and whatnot. Got a store with basic model paints though, so I can probably substitute, at least until I decide if I want to seriously get into airbrushing

I built a shelf for my gunpla today. I'll be adding more gendums this Tuesday, I plan to go to GundamPlanet's store in Palisade Park.

>>14590034

Don't do it, you'll just get overcharged.

>>14590047
I'd rather pay extra than wait for the box to ship. Plus, it's only a little deviation from my way home from work, so it's in a convenient spot.

>>14590047
Not him but if you do the math it actually evens out pretty close. The cost of shipping from Nipland is about the same as the total markups you pay from a domestic seller.

>>14590034
You're not planning on keeping the boxes on the shelf too, are you? It looks kind of sloppy

>>14589978
don't bother painting it until you clean off those disgusting nubs. They're everywhere and very noticeable. Also I don't think that airbrush will work quite as well as an Iwata or Badger model, depending on if it has variable pressure.

>>14590069
Nah, just a temporary place until I find a nice spot for them that's out of sight but still accessible.

I want to paint the RX-78-2 in the Titans color scheme, any suggestions?

>>14590146

>>14590146
Maybe base it off of the MK II's titans scheme?

>>14589978
Listen to >>14590071 but also don't listen to him. A cheap airbrush is perfectly fine to start off with, then move on to a fancier one once you get the basics down. He's right about the nubs though, those will show up even with the pain unless they're sanded smooth. AT LEAST 800 grit (the higher the grit, the finer it is). But where did you get the airbrush that you can't get primer and topcoat? Primer I can't hep much with but it's not really necessary unless you're changing the color of the kit. If you're still going to paint it green you don't really need it. As for topcoat, a lot of people swear by Pledge floor polish, but it's going to come out on the glossy side, which is fine if that's what you want, and you'll want some gloss for panel lining and decals, but you'll have to find something to go over that if you want a flat finish.

>>14590177
That looks great, thanks anon!

Anybody know where an anon can get a full armor gundam MG (not tbolt) for a good price

>>14590343
The usual Japanese sites if it's in stock, Mandarake, and Amazon. I don't get why people don't just go there first as if there's 20 sites they don't know of or something.

>>14590071
Alrighty then.
I did actually find a primer though, it was hidden away but they had a single bottle of it, and several things I assume are topcoats (They were clear and labeled things like "Gloss", "Matte", etc..)
Thought I did decently on the nubs though, they look bad but are pretty smooth (I worked them over with the file from my gunpla tool kit, probably isn't the optimal method) Will see about digging up some fine grit sandpaper and trying that, will probably have to order from Amazon and wait for shipping though.
First weekend off in a long time so I'm just throwing things together suddenly

Did find my GM kit I forgot about, I kind of gave up on a while back because pretty much everything needed to be painted and I was absolutely botching the paint job with a brush + enamel paints
Only painted the shield so far at least, but the all of the pieces were hit with a clear acrylic (I think) to help the paint stick or something along those lines I can't even remember

>>14590431
Some people do use files, but I think sandpaper is a bit easier with the differing levels of grits being a bit easier to work through
>Gloss, matte
Those are definitely the topcoats. Glosscoat is what you'd apply after painting if you planned to then panel line it afterwards.
Matte would be the final coat. If you just want to snap build and panel line, then you can apply matte coat after all of that.

>>14590047
Gundam Planet is pretty neat if you live close enough and don't mind the mark up in place of shipping and wait time. Personally, I think the fact that it's a warehouse stacked to the ceiling with gunpla leaves more of an impression than the gunpla store at Gundam Front.

Would it be weird if, in order to plan out my kitbash, I just cut/copied bits and pieces of the suits I'll be using with the paint program?
Because that's what I'm doing.

>>14590860
No, that's a perfectly valid tactic. Photoshop is preferable but whatever works for you. Dalong for size reference and lineart for coloring in.

>>14590865
I don't own or even know how to work photoshop, but maybe in the future.
>size reference
I didn't even consider that.
I just chose three rather similar kits and tossed them together. Wanna see? It's really something funny.

New to Gundam, is there a reason for everyone having a cutting mat? I looked at the guide, and besides mentioning that other tools commonly used for modeling can come in handy, I don't really see a good use for it, though that may just be ignorance on my part.

Got my MG Guncannon snapped together with a old 100mm machine gun from a ground type gundam

>>14590923
So you don't stab the table underneath if you're using a hobby knife. I build on a table, so I had to get at least a small one.
Plus, it looks cool!

>>14590923
It's so you don't scratch up your table when you're cutting stuff. Same reason you use one when preparing food.

>>14590923
What >>14590930 said, but also it has measurements on it for quick reference too. And another good thing is that what you cut into the cuttings mat can then be rolled up and thrown in a trash can.

>>14590928
Explain why you subject yourself to association with Snapfit and for what reasons you could ever possibly consider a known shitposter a friend. And doing this while not trying to get him to improve at modeling. If you're not actually him, that is.

>>14590893
That kitbash should actually work considering how much slimmer the Revive Guncannon is compared to the regular one.

- to avoid cutting the table beneath
- the grid can give you size references, for stuff like plaplates
- it also serves for point references, which is very useful for placing symetrical decals

Double counting what paint I need before I order some. It would suck if I missed one.
Specifically, Tamiya paints. I recently got an airbrush from a family member. It's old and probably not that good, single action, but probably better than hand painting.

Kinda surprised no one's made any 3d printed joint conversion parts similar to what we find in campaign parts. Until bandai gets head out of ass and makes them anyway. Would love a sprue of jus ball to peg joints meant for arms and ankles at times.

What's the easiest way to get this out? My friend gave me one of his old airbrushes and this was in the cup. He said it was most likely acrylic. The reason I ask is that when I try to spray, nothing comes out and was thinking there might be blockage.

>>14591463
Soak it in lacquer thinner while scrubbing it, make sure there aren't any rubber gaskets/seals.

Can this stuff fix cracked polycaps?

>>14590979
MG Banshee (Marida) that I got way overcharged for.

>>14591460
Making 3D printed ball joints is hard at that scale. I tried and even with a perfect cup to support the ball they might not come out right. I was able to make one for a Figma but it was mediocre at best.

Materials is another problem, since FDM printers don't have perfect reproduction from files due to mechanical imperfections and there aren't a lot of good materials to emulate polycaps.

If you were to get a set of joints like you want printed at shapeway it'd probably be the cost of a HG 1/144. The figma joint was like 3 or 4 dollars IIRC and minimum shipping was $5, and that was with me as the maker, so no overhead for commission.

>>14591342
I don't get it, where did he buy those hands?

>>14591349
Everyone should have at least one RX-78-2.

>>14591496
it can't, at least not when I tried.
you might need some of the heavier stuff

>>14591496
nah.

>>14591102
why does everyone buy this shitty setup?

>>14591589
I didn't buy it. The box was covered in dust though so I don't know how long ago he had it, much less when or why he would buy it.

>>14591496
Polycaps are a different kind of plastic and won't melt from this.

So I'm looking through the various guides and I'm not entirely sure on this - I should use Tamiya extra-thin cement to glue seams together, but what about gluing plastic plates for scratchbuilding? What I'm reading says that the Tamiya stuff will evaporate super quick, so should I use super glue or is there another special glue for that purpose?

Hey guys

I was recently in Tokyo and bought my first couple of gunpla sets.
I've never watched any of the animes but I always loved the designs of the old school Gundams.

I got the big 1/48 RX78-2 and a 1/100 version of it (I bought this one at the big Gundam store in Odaiba)
And I got Bearguy because it was the most Japanese thing I had seen. I had to get it.

I ordered four more from a UK webshop but they're fucking expensive outside Japan! They're seriously half price in Japan...
If I had fucking known how hooked I would have become.... I was in the fucking heart of Gundam and I didn't fill my suitcase with kits....

Anyway, I should get a 1/100 MG Powered GM and a 1/144 HGUC Guncannon (21st century real type version in the next two days.
I also bought 1/144 HGBF Ghost Jegan Type F and M that should come a some point here in August

I want to get a Gusion too, a HG Origin MSD Local type and a Zaku. I'm thinking about getting the 1/48 Zaku next time I'm in Tokyo.

I didn't really like the Unicorn models until I saw the red one with the LED kit. Now I'm thinking about getting that one too next time I'm in Tokyo.

I want to get some of those real touch markers too and make some heavy weathering on my 1/48 RX 78-2. I painted and collected Warhammer for 20+ years so I'm pretty familiar with weathering techniques and stuff, I just figured I'd get the markers too.

I have one important question for you guys:
Does anybody know where I can get the 1/144 Ez-SR Fox Hound kit?
The only places I can find it don't ship to Denmark... I would really like to get it since I think it's one of the coolest Gundams I've seen. I only just got my first gunpla kits in June so I was late to the party :(
I would really appreciate if somebody knows a place where I can get the Fox Hound

I'm 2m tall and I was just a little bit taller than the foot.

The mall behind it is very nice too, the ground level has an amazing food court and it of course has the huge Gundam store and museum on the top level.

Odaiba was pretty cool in general, there were no tourists at all. It looked like a place the locals came in the weekend to chill. It kinda reminded me of Singapore.

I'm going next Spring. I love flowers so I have to see when the cherry trees blossom.

You'll still be tall in Japan lel. I'm basically a giant beast there. I'm 2m tall and I was sweating my ass off all week I was there. I'm from Denmark so I'm not used to warm and humid weather.

Awesome you can stay for two months. I was only there for one week and it was just not enough. I don't even feel like I've scratched the surface.
2 months should give you plenty of time and I'm sure since you're into the whole Gundam/gunpla thing now, you will really appreciate the huge gundam store and museum they have in Odaiba.
I hope you have a great time mate

I'll be staying for a month next time so plenty of time to take it easy and soak it all in.
I'm going to walk around all day, go to concerts and shit and then get some gunpla kits to sit and build before going to bed.

Shit articulation. Funnels keep falling out. Sticker panel lines. Massive balance issues. Can't stand with the heels. Garbage transformation.

That's like how there is a HGAW Airmaster, but no Leopard, for whatever reason.

Non plated is a godsend because it hurts my soul every time i have to strip perfectly good special finishes for a custom

>>14592999

There is a Build Fighters Leopard, so it is coming eventually since they already shat out the mold. Hope the Air master and BFpard sold decently or they might make the regular one P-Bandai.

>>14592981
This is an empty Testors bottle right?

Because Testors/Model Masters paints are chemically _harsh_ on model plastics.

Yeah, it was this >>14589978 cheap babby's first airbrush kit. Came with 2 empty bottles for mixing paint in. Learned the hard way with the harshness of Testor's paint with my Zaku kit, but it did look kind of cool in the end

Also holy shit airbrushing seems so much better than handpainting (At least for even coverage on pieces). Will probably let that dry for a while and slap another coat on for good measure, though these bottles are pretty small and I'll have to mix up another batch 'bathroom-tile blue'

>>14593152
I don't think that kit's undergated. You shouldn't spray on the runners. Paint also looks slightly thick on a few parts. Namely 33, and 34.

This is really out of focus. Which version of the Tallgeese are we looking at?

>>14592795
>>14592999
Yeah, it sucks. It's part of Bandai's "HG All Gundam Project" apparently, so it's no surprise they only stuck to the main Gundam mobile suit(s) of each series. It looks like they just wanted to get out all the main designs from the AUs in a modern HG format. Hopefully they'll start a "HG All Grunt Project" soon. Who am I kidding, it'll never happen

Airmaster yes, no for everything else.

So on the subject of the All Gundam Project, why couldn't they at least update the existing molds for the other 4 Gundams from Wing?

And why the fuck is the HG Leopard DaVinci a GBF model? Why couldn't they at least give the Airmaster some company?

Note to self: Don't spray on the runners

>>14593638
Isn't Wing still fairly popular in Japan?

>>14593638
I don't think Bandai updates molds that are several years old. Are those even HG scale and 1/144? I thought they were 1/100 scale. It's usually either make a new mold or don't bother.

Leopard DaVinci is a GBF model because it has different weapons, proportions, and detailing than the normal Leopard Gundam.

>>14593638
Yeah, it's kind of sad that the only 1/144 heavyarms available is from 16 years ago.

>>14593638
>>14593654

They were probably working on an HGAW Leopard but didn't want to make the mold for just one kit from an old show that wasn't even that popular. So they designed the Da Vinci and rolled that out first because it's new and in Build Fighters so it might sell more.

I think within the next 2 years they will probably roll out the HGAW Leopard.

They are 1/100 and need a ton of work. I did deathscythe hell as one of my first kits. Its legs are shit, and it likes to do swan dives off the shelf. I mean, i mostly just snapshitted it, but now that I know things, I would recommend gule or some type of reinfocement for the knees/joints. And the scythe too.

Hide my mouth and nose in my arm and knock the model down to the ground.
The resulting noxious cloud of disintegrated plastic and seemingly decades old dust and bacteria spooks the spider, as I rush to seek safety, and preferably a weapon, in my surroundings.

>>14594304
all you do is put a little bit of cement on the edges of the parts, wait a few moments for it to get a bit sticky and squeeze them together and clamp them with something. then after you can run some more glue over the seam if necessary, but i usually dont

after the glue has cured you file down the excess, and most likely there will still be a faint line where the seam was. then you apply some tamiya basic putty, i usually thin it with a bit of zippo oil and brush it on. once that dries sand it smooth.

but i would never out glue on the seam after snapping the parts together, thats pointless, you need the parts physically bonded all the way through the thickness of the styrene

>>14593729
Doesn't say shit about what stage to do painting at.
Figured on the runners was as good as any time to get a good first layer on everything.

>>14594402
Think, anon: If you paint while on the runners, when you cut them off there will be a very obvious unpainted mark where the nub used to be. And when you're sanding to completely erase the nub, even more paint will come off.

A relative is going to Japan in September and they offered to bring me some kits to save on the shipping, but since they're going with an excursion they're going to have little free time, and because they don't really know which kits to get me either, they told me to order them online and ship them to the hotel they're going to be staying at.

>>14594801
Money is just about the only excuse I'd say is acceptable here, people who just don't care or "think it's too hard" are pretty shit tier in terms of hobbyists. When you can just save up to paint your current kits before buying a new one.

Are those things in the front skirts and the calf boosters supposed to be extra beam sabers?

Is there something magical about assembling a "toy"/kit?

>>14596108
Yes. I can't pinpoint it but it makes me happy.

It's meditative. You can focus on the task at hand and distractions fade.

It's one of the few things that helps manage my depression and keep me from becoming suicidal.

>>14596147
the origin kits have some of the most amazing HG engineering.

>>14596105
Enjoy your aids

>>14594787
That's some list of no-grades, since none of them has MGs I'm not going to question your decision to build them, I'm a stickler for 1/100 myself, but only MGs after practically every 1/100 I ever built got a better MG over time anyways.

Better? Worse?
I may have to rethink the blue on the legs.

Is it possible to get replacement gunpla parts? Was putting together the legs for my mg 2.0 zeta and put the hip joints together wrong. They were so difficult to take apart that i ended up losing the tube bracket to actually connect to the waist

Anyone else receive their RG Sinanjus?

The box is HUGE for a RG kit.

The box itself is at least double the size of the boxes for the RG Exia or 00Q, or even Wing Zero.

Hell it even surpasses the size of the box for the RG Zeta.

>>14596401
I only purchased the ones that have no MGs because I wanted a 1/100 representation of the designs. A lot of these come off as a bit short so they don't scale all that well with MGs, but they don't exactly look horrible when compared either. The ones that got MGs make their old 1/100s look totally out of proportion though.

When you guys are sanding seemlines, what grit to you use. Ive been using a file because I prefer the finished look, but its not doing so great with seemlines.

I have a 2000 grit auto sandpaper for finishing that I enjoy, but I need that first grit level.

Also, What grit do you guys use for everyday things like removing nubs and such

Oh fuck, the Formula was released

>>14596754
400 for when heavier sanding is needed, then I just use 800 1000 and 1500 for everything else. I mainly use 1000 for a happy medium, but 800 works if I need something slightly heavier.

>>14596759
would the 1000 work well for removing seemlines?

>>14596017
only the extra skirt armors have beam sabers
those things at the legs are just additional boosters

Alright, /m/. I'm about to take the plunge and build my first MG. Specifically, the Hi-Nu ver. Ka. Nubs have never really been an issue, but I do have one question. I'n my HG Exia model, the saber was just pure white. What am I supposed to use to color it? Those Gundam markers? Would the Hi-Nu have anything similar to this kind of situation? Iread the guide but I couldn't find any answers to this specific problem

>>14596519

I've come to realize that with orange you either have to go all out and make it a main color, or be so extremely subtle with it it's only an accent. You can't half ass orange because it's such a distinct color, especially when you have it paired with two shades of blue.

I would make the forearms dark blue to match the rest of the mech and make the shoes dark blue too. Try making the lower legs dark blue and the thighs light blue, to both match the forearms and break up the large chunk of blue that currently forms the torso, waist, and thighs. Instead of an orange crotch, try light blue for it. If you must have orange on there besides for the visor try the chest vents, wrist cuffs, the missiles, and shoe tongue armor part.

>>14596807

1) You're supposed to use fluorescent paint but with those "all molded in one color" beam sabers they will likely look shit no matter what.

2) No, the MG does not have that. Next time you need a reference as to what the parts of a kit look like, there is dalong.net.

>>14596752
Bought the three ng 1/100 astrays and the two busters, it'd weird how the NG gold frame and akatsuki has the mekki plated gold when they're not even supposed to be at the top of their class details wise.

>>14596807
>Would the Hi-Nu have anything similar to this kind of situation?
nope
it is one of the best damn kits ever released, enjoy it

>>14596811
Do you have the Amatsu? I was thinking about picking it up

Ive never painted my gunplas before (outside of early attempts with my old warhammer paint). I know most people recommend spray kits and tamiya paints, but the main question I have is do I still need to prime (ive only ever really heavily painted warhammer figures and they /needed/ primer).

if its basically required (or if its not, what reason do you use it), what brand do you use

>>14596756
FINALLY

>>14596810
>>14596815
Thanks for the quick responses, guys, I really appreciate it. One other question though; is the exia HG supposed to feel a little cheap? I can't have the dual swords on its hips because any pose makes them pop off, the pieces in between the shoulders and chestpiece keep popping out, and the GN sword is loose as fuck when it's put together.

>>14596868
HG Exia is complete crap, should get the RG dude

>>14596870
Figures. At least it was my first build, so I have nowhere to go but up.

>>14596877

If it was your first kit I would at least get a couple more cheap HGs under your belt before you tackle something like a ver.KA MG

>>14596910
I've done a few. My most recent was an HG 1/100 Sandrock Custom, and my only real complaint for that kit was the lack of articulation and the overall maneuverability of the legs in general. I just really like the 1/100 size as compared to the 1/144. Is the MG G Gundam a pretty good starting point for MG's?

>>14596952

MG G Gundam is an ancient piece of shit.

>>14596969
Not him, but is there any /good/ higher than HG G gundam kits? I fucking love G gundam, and would fucking kill for a PG shining, but honestly havnt looked to much into the kits.

ANy you recommend? nothing below MG. I hate smaller gunplas

FUCK. Will we ever get new G Gundam models? I saw they made some for all the main characters, but they look like garbage. I just want a nice Gundam Maxter

>>14595379
No, as long as you show you want to improve and put at least some semblance of effort into your models, you'll be treated as fairly as everyone else

>>14595379
Not really, it's just one person who's given snapbuilders (like myself) a bad name.

Just ignore him, and you'll be fine.

>>14597034
You don't need to improve, really.
Just build the models the way you want to.

I'll try again when i get home, but here was a quick fix before I left this morning.

>>14597039
I mean improve as in taking criticism well and applying it when needed,. If you make a nub destiny wannabe because of your lack of skill, obviously you should try and apply what people are saying to try and better yourself/models, or else you'll just end up like snapfit.

>>14597076
>obviously you should try and apply what people are saying to try and better yourself/models

You don't need to.

>>14597119
Then don't complain when anons call your builds boring and shit or just flat out ignore you.

>>14597119
Enjoy being as unpopular as Snapfit, then.

>>14597158
>>14597168
Enjoy missing the point, retards.

>>14596759
How do you even sand anything with grits that high? It would take 15 minutes to sand a single nub. I start at 120 and work up

>>14596839
always prime

>>14590431
>Thought I did decently on the nubs though, they look bad but are pretty smooth
I have the same issue. Last time I built a kit I tried to follow the guide and sanded them and you can't feel them at all but they're still very obvious when you look at the kit.

I'm new to painting as well and use Tamiya spray can primer, but I'm worried because it feels like I just tear through the thing, like at least 3/4ths of it gone on one HG. Hopefully I'm just using bad technique.

>>14597285
It might be stress marks, which I have a bigger problem with than nubs and is actually the primary reason why I started to paint.

>>14597305
this reminds me, how do metal paintjobs look on gunplay in general? Do they usually need to be repainted?

I used a whole can on about three petit bear guys, man. I hear one can is how much is needed for an HG. It worries me because I do the same and I'm beginning to enjoy painting.

I wonder how long it will take for a nip to do a Formula unboxing at least

>>14597493
There already a french review of it.

So I asked this in the last thread, but at the end of it's post life, so I'll ask here. Whats the quality of the Barbatos 1/100 6th form kit? Is everything on it fairly sturdy, or does it just slip about and fall apart if you look at it?

I'm also wondering about the Big Gun Zaku pack kit and the quality of that kit, as I've been eyeing it for a while now.

>>14597510

1) It's good.

2) It's good.

>>14597522
is the original better than the 6th form?
know what the best G gundam MG or above is?

>>14597570
The MG is the best you'll get of it except for the HG, even if it's old.

>>14597574
even better than the 1/60?

>>14597584
Afaik, the 1/60 is ancient, and I guess it's most likely a brick potato. The MG isn't too horrible, but some things could use some cement on it.
