First for JIM

>>14608190

I'm really thrilled this kit is coming out. I was frustrated that we got HGUCs of the gundam type and the Ez8 but nothing of the GM.

Sniper type is probably a p-bandai

Transient Glacier is pretty cool looking, to be honest.

I'll get it, along with Shia's Quanta.

That ain't no P-Bandai, it's an advert for what you can do with MS Builder parts.

Someone re-created a Psycommu -Zaku using builder parts and customization.

S'all good. Just tell them the truth and then they'll look like the fools.

>>14608350
That's a pretty shitty RG.

>>14608357
You're right.
I hope the Build Strike isn't this bad.

>>14608356
I don't think you really realize what it looks like to other people when you handle a model that small.

>>14608368
How is the Strike? Because I imagine that would be a pretty good indicator of what to expect.

>>14608350

I have the HGUC somewhere in my backlog. Probably will look 100x better if I paint the engravings

>>14608372
Strike's alright, so hopefully they'll just improve from that.

>>14608350
According to Zakuaurelius or however you spell it, the plastic is like the rigid, brittle plastic used in hard clear parts. That probably means the fit isn't as tight because having a tight fit could mean the plastic will break easily. This ultra glossy plastic was obviously a terrible mistake.

>>14608376

It's an RG. It's always the same story with RGs. Look amazing, but you're supposed to pose it once and leave it.

Don't know if it belongs here, but I have this idea
> 3d scan each individual non-moving part of kit
> oversize them from e.g 1/144 scale to 1/100
> go to 3d print centre(they have better printers than I'll afford to buy in my whole life)
> paint and build a kit
Is it possible? Has anyone tried it before?

>>14608420
The best 3d scanners are still shit
The best 3d printers are still shit

It won't look anything like an injection molded part

Is decal set necessary for waterslides?

>>14608410
>you're supposed to pose it once and leave it

no body else does this to their other kits? I do it to HGs to MGs because I don't want to find out the poly cap joints brittled out after years of being ignored

>>14608430
Maybe paint+treatment can get it looking halfway decent?

>>14608478
If you print it in ABS with really fine layer heights and sand it you can get a decent finish. Or you can finish it with an ABS slurry made from ABS and acetone mixed together. Good DLP printers can achieve near injection molded quality but it's photosensitive resin and the build volume is pretty small, so I doubt you could make 1/100 parts with it.

Aaand I just finished my RX-78 Local Type. Must say, rather nice kit!

>>14608499
OK, sanding it down is actually good idea.
But would height layers still matter then? How? If it is to be sanded to being flat

You're like Dalong's mentally hanidcapped little brother.

>>14608535
It'll make a small difference depending on how good the finish is from the print. If you're just sanding the steps then it will probably look okay.

Jesus Christ I hate this kit. They might as well call it HGUC Snapped Hips.

>>14608410
But the Gundam MK II is fantastic, I repose mine all the time, and I've heard similar things of the Strike.
Hell I repose my RG Char's Zaku II fairly often and have had no problems.
I seriously think people having trouble with those kits are just being really rough with them.

>>14608529
Can anyone explain what the fuck that name means?

>>14608529
The amount of panel lining this guy needs to look good reminds me of the 90s Wing kits.

>>14608561
The RG Zaku II is pretty sturdy, the only parts I've had come lose are the front skirts during more extreme poses. I'm more annoyed by the fact that the bazooka handle is fixed, feels like it hampers posing quite a bit.

>>14608555

Love th look of this kit. Wish it was 1/100 though. I'm new to Gunpla stuff and I'm kinda bummed that so many kits are 1/144. I want them to be at least 1/100.

Anyway, I just finished these two kits.
I liked the designs of both of them, I just wish the Guncannon dude was 1/100.
The Gm looks awesome.
I'm going to weather them both soon.

>RG Titans Mk. II

Between these, the only ones I try not to touch are the Zetas, the rest are all pretty solid. Sure, some lose skirt armor might fall off, but that's not abnormal for balljoints at that scale, and excess trim pieces should probably be glued on in the first place. Not the skirts themselves, but any small pieces you layer on.

>>14608190

Is that a sticker visor?

>>14608555
Get fucking rekt, this kit is great. I have a Garma Custom and thay exact one and they're both standing proudly.

Who else is getting the RG Build Strike

>>14608698
I would if it comes with the Star Build Strike pack and effect parts. So, probably not.

>>14608698
Maybe. I think the Build Strike is going to be a wait and see for me. I'd like to see how they do the Star Build, whether it's a new kit or through an expansion like with the Skygrasper, before I pull the trigger. Reviews would also be nice.

Say I want to replicate the glossy red of the RG on the MG and only have access to handpainting and spraycans, no airbrush. What's the best way to go about it?

Right now I am thinking:
>cover existing red with a (semigloss) clear coat
>Tamiya bright red spray can
>decals, panel lines, touchups, etc
>final (semigloss) coat

How off am I?

>>14608682
Looks painted. This might be a painted grey prototype, so it doesnt have clear parts.

>>14608825
semi gloss will leave it looking like plastic again.

go for straight gloss and you probably don't have to repaint it red unless you want it a different shade of red.

Which one should I build next? Nearly done with the Zaku II, just need to place the waterslides.

>>14608993
I'd go with the Grimgerde personally.

>>14608993

They're not waterslides, they're normal stickers. HGs don't come with waterslides. It's almost always stickers except some old kits like the Qubeley which have dry transfers.

Also, Grimgerde if you want a simple build or the RG if you want a longer enjoyable one.

>>14609006
nope they are waterslides

>>14608563
Snapkunt only snapfits kits. That's it.
He never un-nubs them, never panel lines. he just snapfits kits and posts them here.

It's a good thing he's got that trip now, because back in the day he'd do it anonymously and never fuckin' stop. His trip has not stopped him from sockpuppetting as other anons "supportive" of his nonsense, though.

>>14609016

Stop shitposting, they are not waterslides. Fuck off, you aren't funny.

But it does come with Dry-Rub Decals.

It's blatantly false. You and probably the retard who posted that likely think I'm mad about it, but I'm not. It's just not funny. Like this >>14609039 is not funny. It's not clever or cute. It's just shitposting.

I'm confused, the zeta has always had vents on its face?

>>14609106

No bro.

>>14609106
no

>>14609075
Sticker sheets have a plastic sheet on the paper itself, with the stickers cut out on it that you can take off without any sort of special stuff
Water slides doesn't have a sheet on the paper, and if you hold it so that light reflects off of it, you'll see the water slides on their own on it.
Dry transfers are a sheet of clear plastic kinda stuff with a white wax paper on the back to make sure they don't get fucked up before use, too hard.
Just gotta look and be careful if you're really unsure.

I was being 100% serious tho...

>>14609165

I dunno, they love whoring out the Zaku and they did give the Psycommu Zaku a cool animated sequence, so MAYBE...

For panel lining the Zaku II Origin, will a grey gundam marker work well?

>>14609193
Try a brown one, Brown fits red plastic better than grey.

>>14609203
Damn, I don't have one. Guess I'll have to go shopping soon.

>>14609193
No, the model will become a ticking time bomb that sometime over the next year will come to life, kick your dog, fuck your mom, and spontaneously combust and burn your house down.

That's why you should use brown.

Does anyone know where I can see what the Keroro kits look like right out of the box?

>>14609252

>>14609284

Retard, Dalong is Korean. His name is Jong Da Long.

Seriously though it seems like there is very little info on those kits in general. It's a long shot but you can try asking a question on Amazon, then they email someone who bought the kit asking if they can help

>>14608457
guys?

>>14609338

No but it helps.

>>14609349
okay, thanks. Maybe when I get an MG with waterslides, I'll look into that then. For now it's just an HG.

Why don't they just sell the kits in grey or white to encourage people to paint?

>>14609203
I think black looks even better on red

>>14609583
because then waaaaaaaaaaaay less people would buy them

the idea is that anyone from a beginner to a professional can put together any given kit and have it come out looking good. because that way they make more $$$. and thats what this is all about. they couldn't give less of a shit if you paint or not.

>>14609583

>>14608993
nothing. take a nap and play some video games, then fap and go to sleep.

maybe because I personally dislike the hyaku shiki as a suit, so no matter how good the kit, I won't like it

>>14609676
I think the people complaining about the Sinanju are people who never built an RG before. They are all like that, if you weren't expecting it to be a hand grenade then you only have yourself to blame for the disappointment.

>>14609702
if you built the 2.0 you'd change your mind

>>14608350

Can someone give me some tips on cutting pieces off the runner? I just built the revive RX-78 and somehow cut one of the inner arm pieces too short so if I try to pose that arm it just falls off. How far away from the runner should I be cutting? Also, how do I get rid of nubs effectively? I've tried using sandpaper but it doesn't really seem to have much effect aside from scratching the surrounding plastic, regardless of grit. Lastly, what would be another good HG to practice with before moving on to suits I care about and would like to build well?

Are the G-Self kits as bad as I'm hearing?

>>14609922
are you retarded?

>>14609939
are you?

>>14609938
Yes. They were designed to be appealing in the show, not to be made to work into a toy.

That said, the Grimoire is a fucking solid kit.

>>14609938
If you mean the G-Self in particular and not the show then they have a stupid amount of stickers but aside from that they aren't actually that bad.
The articulation is alright but if your getting the Perfect Pack you better get an action base along with it since it's ridiculously back-heavy.
Over all they're about as serviceable as a slightly older kit like the HG God Gundam. More stickers but slightly better articulation, especially with the Perfect Pack.

The guide is helpful for that.

Do any of you own a Paasche V airbrush? My gramps have me one after he found out I build models. I did a test spray with some water and thinner, then disassembled and reassembled it. After trying to test it again, the air goes out but the water won't. I've cleaned out the cup and wiped off the nozzle and needle. It might be that it's just old, though, or I assembled it wrong.

On a serious note though, I was hoping someone might know something about if there are things like full spectrum rgb gunpla (or just any type of model) bases around? Or if not will I have to learn how to use that arduino pro thing?

I'm asking because I recently made some computer upgrades so now my mouse, keyboard, waterblock and fans are all going to be customizable rgb, and I just realized all my action bases are clear plastic so I figured its a perfect opportunity.

And then richigo just happened to be here, so I gotta belive in the sign of zeta right?

Dip them in water and then maneuver them around with a toothpick, then when they're in the proper position, press down with the lightest pressure you possibly can with the toothpick, just to get it to stick on the plastic, before carefully pressing it down with a Q-tip or something.

That's my method.

Don't know about everyone else, but bootlegs are fine as long as they bring something original to the party that Bandai has denied us. Buying a Chinese bootleg that just tries to copy the Bandai kit is boring, with third party sellers and shipping it will cost just about the same anyways and Bandai doesn't get the money to develop more kits. Dragon Momoko's Seed kits have been pretty good in this respect, downsizing the PG Strike's aesthetics to Bandais 1/100 frame and releasing a 1/100 skygrasper. ZakuAurelius has a comparison vid of a MG buster and a bootleg buster. The bootleg is just pointless for Westerners.

It's really nice to see someone who's starting out be able to take constructive criticism without sperging out; you are a welcome addition to the community anon.

I think you should buy a few of the smaller action bases, They are relatively cheap and allow for a lot more options for gunpla posing. If you do decide to go that route, a helpful tip is to not over tighten the screws when you build them. I mean, you want them tight enough so that they stay in place, especially when your gunpla is attached, but not so much so that moving it around is a struggle. I personally made that mistake with a few of my action bases in the earlier times of my gunpla building and suffice to say, that those particular stands have all snapped and broke in one way or another. Although, if this does still happen to you on accident, sometimes you can be lucky and have the break be somewhere that you can glue it back together without having it's adjustable parts movement restricted.

pic related is the type of action base I am referring to. They come in a few different colors so you can match them up to whatever color your gunpla is if you like. The main colors they have, black and grey, go with pretty much everything though. Also if you end up getting any large HGs, RE/100, and/or MGs in the future, the larger action bases are optimal for those kits.

Naoki saved the Gyan.

>>14611616
It's like you've never built a model kit before.

>>14611633
MGs aren't supposed to have seam lines

is the exia MG as shitty as the HG?

>action base that restricts poseability
I don't understand

>>14611675
for brick kits.

>>14611637
most all pre-2010 mastergrades have seamlines all over in obvious places

starting with zaku 2.0 they made it normal to separate the pieces on their actual armor edges instead of through the middle

Oh boy, my Formula arrived

The plastic on all the new IBO kits look really bad, did they change the formula or something?

Especially on these

What

>>14611913
if something is super hard then it has no give to it and is brittle. polycaps are super soft and flexible, glass is hard but brittle

>>14611920
Oh shit, yeah.

Massdrop being 94 cents cheaper convinced me to just buy it off of Amazon. Now it'll show up tomorrow instead of a month from now.

I really want that G bit head.

The fucking eye stickers are so fucking painful for me holy crap. Everytime I end up with the eyes slightly to the left or the right, and even if you can't tell until you actually look really close it sets off my autism.

They look like jobbers, which is what they are.
And that's fine.

>Sextant guns and shields

The Northern Pod was a mistake.

>>14612137
That fucking shield on the right one isn't going to block shit.

>>14612152
It clearly will block anything small enough that goes right in its direction. That hand is safe as fuck.

>>14612152
It's a buckler, bruh.
