I ditched the fuel tanks and the bazooka that could also go attached to a hard point somewhere in this mess

Is it normal for primer to make plastic really brittle or am I doing something wrong?
I was testing on a runner this Rust-Oleum can I found at the hardware store, and I accidentally over-sprayed a bit
I let it dry for like a day and when I came back to it the runner snapped right in half just from a little pressure

It is such a sad floppy mess

>>14619952
That doesn't sound right.

It also sounds like some solvent in the primer went into the plastic and started snapping polymer bonds.

Or somethign else had happened to that bit of plastic earlier in its lifetime to cause such an effect.

>>14619963
honestly, the fuel tanks are really bad compared to the rest of the kit
while they are divided in 3 sections each, the nubs are super noticeable all over the round surfaces
considering pretty much everything else was undergated, its as bandai gave up on them

as for the bazooka, the hardpoint where it is supposed to go is really weak, merely putting it into place gave it those white stress marks

>>14619897
My first Gunpla, the HG Wing Fenice. I liked the style of it but the pieces were really easily prone to falling apart, it scared me out of HGs until I grabbed the Kamiki Burning which feels much better build wise and is probably my most stable kit

What's the general feeling of the metallic style shit? I personally really dig it but I never know when I should go for it. It's silver as a base, then painting over it with clear colors right?

I'm thinking of doing it to a Zero Honoo. I wish I could make it blue flame thing but I don't know how to change the clear orange to clear blue.

Well shit, I wasn't planning on getting the p bandai GM sniper II since it's just a lazy recolor but apparently it'll come with a Tin Cod (or is that a Saberfish? Something else?) and now I really fucking want it. Fucking DAMMIT bandai.

>>14620015
It looks pretty good on curvy kits like Sinanju and stuff.
People usually put gloss black below the silver, but I've got no idea why. I think using silver or chrome as the base suffices

Also somewhat related, anybody know what a candy coat looks like with a matte topcoat?

>>14620054
The gloss black increases the overall contrast, the black darkens it while the gloss makes the reflections brighter

Why do all the thunderbolt line of models cost so much more then a regular hguc?

>>14620122
Loads of plastic.

>>14620122
Thunderbolt is the new popular Gundam in the neighborhood.

>>14620054
Metallics look better better on a black base (more reflective and realistic). I would post pics, but I can't find the spoons.

Do I have that right? Should you gloss topcoat the black before silver?

>>14620122
Because there's more plastic in them, duh.

>>14620142
Most gloss coats will actually slightly dull the shiny finish, especially if you use high quality paint.

There are also gloss black primers available so you don't need to prime and then paint a gloss black on top.

>>14620030
The arms didn't stay on very good, not gonna enjoy making another one when I convert it into an R JarJa when the ZZ kits get reprinted.

They're cheaper, more detailed, and have all the gimmicks you can pack on a 1/144 scale, what's not to like?
And they're the least hand grenade RG bar the MkII.
Only problems is the legs movement is limited by the front skirt on Exia and the QanT shield binder tends to fall off the attachment.
Everything else and the 00R is pretty much perfect.

So awhile back I talked about how I tended to buy kits in 3's well I tried painting my first model a month or two ago and it was a Char's Zgok, I fucked up pretty badly while I was happy with how I painted the Joints I couldn't figure out how to properly apply a primer to the rest of the model so parts of it are grey or 3 different attempts at white.

The Shop I use to by paints claims that Flat colors are primers but I'm just not seeing it, Should I buy paints that explicitly state they are primers I'm hand painting and most of my paints are testors...

>>14619897
V2 gundam, it looks so nice but god damn does the articulation suck

>>14621138
No.

>>14621175
Why not ?

>>14621164
Primers in the traditional sense are more than just flat colours. Primers are meant to bite into the plastic and provide a better surface for the paint to adhere to, which is why "real" primers are laquers. This is also why they're meant to be either airbrushed or are in a spray can.

Also, I found that testor's are annoying to work with, and you're better off going with a different brand, or at least using testor's model masters line, which is supposed to be nicer to work with.

>I just buy packs of blades and change them out once per kit.
But what do you do with the old blades? And, do they get rusty?

>>14621544
I never knew that. So, rust is inevitable on any hobby knife if I don`t do this process? And about the oil, do people always have to wipe the oil off to continue working? The oil doesn`t rub on the plastic of the kits?

>>14621555
Personally I find my generic Tamiya cutters work pretty good, although I worry about rust.

>>14621561
The blades do get rusty after about a week or so (I live in the tropics, very humid). More importantly, they get blunt. Blunt blades are bad because they don't cut well, and they make you use more force which might lead to an accident. Plus, nothing feel quite like gliding through plastic with a new, fresh knife blade.

As for blade disposal, tHere's a compartment in the blade package to put the old blades, I just dump them in there and load up the new ones.

>>14621561
Not that guy but proper hobby knives for modelling come with a two-part package, one that holds new unused ones and one that has a one-way slit you throw old ones into.

If you're using a knife that doesn't have one of those or can't swap out blades, it's probably a CRAFT knife for art, not a modelling knife.

>>14621561
The oil layer seals the metal from moisture thus preventing rust. Most people will wipe it off before use to avoid making an oily mess all over.

I found this kind of lubricating pen at a local japanese dollar store. It's just paraffin oil in a pen but it's convenient for this type of uses.

>>14621568
Now I`m even more curious, couldn`t you just do the oil process to prevent rust? And sharpen the blades yourself to save some money?

>>14621547
I've used tamiya #123 and #35 nippers and they are very good alternatives to the godhand.

How can she hug and leglock you without limbs?

But yeah, over here the Godhand costs more than, oh, a fucking MG kit. (SGD$90 for the Godhand vs $80 for an MG Fenice Rinascita )

>>14621547
If you can buy it at a fair price.

Honestly an okay pair of nipper is enough.

Cut away from the part, trim it down with the nipper without making gorge marks (distance to part may vary with brands, blunt and substitute tools are not recommended due to their tendency to leave horrible gorge marks), trim with knife and sand.

That's about it, a pair of very sharp nippers just saves time by being able to cut much closer.

>>14621690
I saw it for $85 at hobbypoint.

>>14621695
Yeah, that's what I do too. Hobby Point has started selling sanding sponges/sticks recently and it's a miracle what they do to plastic. I can polish it to a gloss shine with the 1200 grit along, to say nothing of the 4000 grit.

Also, I thought the price tag at Hobby Point was 89.90 (I saw it at Century Square).

Doesn't look like I'll be leaving this neighborhood neither. Welp lads, it's been nice knowing you.

With how many BF MG we've gotten so far which reuses the base MG released before, what are the chances we'll be getting an MG Gundam X Maoh?

>>14622014
Concievable at the least. He's not a girl so 10 Yo boys in Japan would buy it

>>14622014
Probably none. The X maoh wasn't especially popular in hg form and the x in general wasn't an especially popular mg. If we do get one it will be p-bandai at best.

>>14621942
That looks like shit

All of them.

I built 1 real grade and 7 high grades

Can I jump into the Sazabi MG and Nu Gundam MG? Or do I need more experience?

>>14622452
No man. You need to have built at least 25 HGs before you can start on MGs. 30 is the preferred amount around here though. Don't expect to get taken seriously on this board if you haven't built at least 46 HGs before building your first MG. In fact, if you haven't built 69 HGs you can go right ahead and fuck off into a burning building and don't come back until you show me all 84 HGs you've built.

Yeah man you're fine. Some people even start with building MGs first. Dive on in. Have fun! Gunpla is freedom and all!

Do you use clamps to hold the parts together tightly? I sort of feel like because I don't use clamps I'm not getting even pressure and i'm getting these mixed results.

or maybe we just need to run some more cement over the part thats giving us problems

If Miku was legit drafted into being a pilot, how long do you think she'd survive?

>>14622701
I like to imagine she's a cyber newtype, if she were in the Gundam universe. So she'd probably last a few battles before getting gunned down horrifically, like the Puru series.

>>14622152
they're just describing the time it takes to build various grades.

>>14622725
It's completely unrelated
The guy was asking about a Kotobukiya AC kit, which are incomparable to Bandai Gundam kits

>>14622678
kind of unrelated but Wokada is the best Miku artist alive

>>14622014
Probably would have came out by now, so I doubt it, might get a MG Gyancelot tho.

Is primer supposed to come off if you scratch it or did I do something wrong? I was cleaning the piece in soapy water to get some acrylics off it by the way, if that affects anything

She'd be a prisoner of war and be used as a sex toy by the federation

>>14622898
Yeah, sometimes it feels that if I so much as breathe on a part the primer will just fly off beyond the rainbow.

Once primed try to avoid touching the part too much, you can only really have gentle toy fondling action a few days after the topcoat has been applied.

>>14622959
Nobody said she'd be a Zeonic pilot. I fully support Miku raping a Zeek Len and Rin (and laughing smoking in the corner while watching the two of them cry and fuck)

2 quick questions

Firstly for anons more experienced in airbrushing than I, what would be "ideal" conditions weather-wise for actually airbrushing? Like, I know that airbrushing in high heat/high humidity is bad, but what can I realistically get away with temperature-wise since the humidity here rarely gets under 70%?

Also, I remember seeing a while back anons posting how they stored their boxes/spare parts in different ways, and like a big dummy I didn't save any of the pictures because I didn't see myself having a dozen of these damn things around. Anyone feel like sharing some space-saving storage techniques?

>>14621942
>sees shrunken image

>expands image
yikes

>>14623179
Pre-shading works best on recessed areas or "shaded" pieces, ie pieces that should be in the shade of other pieces. Just slapping it on all panel lines makes it look terrible.

>>14623175
good question

>>14620280
there are zoid kits that looks good OOB
Shadow Fox,Berserk Fury and Liger Zero are few examples.

>>14622782
I assume most plamo kits take about the amount of time an MG kit does.

>>14623284
just spray the damn parts

>>14623175
>>14623513

Those are actually beam cannons.

I saw a box at a comic store I went to, but I'm trying to figure out what it was. it was pretty big and looked like the RX78 flying standing on his shield. Any idea what it could be?

o-oh wow anon, I didn't know you felt that way... but are you really okay with a robot like me?

Has anybody bought from Gundamplanet before?

What are your thoughts?

I want to own every OYW MS, and they have them pretty cheap

>>14623814
They're pretty great. Shipping is always at least 10$ though, so order in bulk.

>>14623814
They ship by flat rate, so buying in bulk is cheaper. Free shipping for orders over $100, last I checked. Most mobile suit kit purchases will also automatically enter you into their raffle if you're interested in that sort of thing.

>>14623818
Thanks anon

>>14623823
Raffle you say?

>>14623833
Yeah, 3rd place gets 30$ credit, second is usually an RG, first is usually a PG or something else insanely expensive, like this month's first prize.

>>14623847
Not that anon, but I'll be buying up all their OYW stock, getting into that raffle

You're pretty far. The only store is in NJ. That review must have been a one time thing, I've always had a good experience with them.

>>14623895
Explain to me the private warehouse.
I don't buy too many kits, so I've mostly bought from amazon because I can also get tools through there. I got a big order for Christmas though, so I'm comparing prices soon.

>>14623943
Yeah the guys are really cool, they usually just have anime on while sitting at the register or stocking stuff around the room. They'll ask once or twice if you need any help but also stay out of your way if you look like you know what youre doing. No complaints here and they know their shit.

>>14623948
You can buy shit and have it stored for you up to 60 days, and you can combine items into shipments freely pretty much

>>14623948
When you buy a kit on HLJ, you have the option to send it to your private warehouse. I don't know what it looks like, but I've just imagined it as like a cubby hole where they put kits you buy into. You can ship anything in your private warehouse out at any time in any combination of packages. However, they will only hold kits for 2 months, then they ship them out whether you want them to or not.

What I normally do, is when a restock list comes out, place an order for any kit that I would like to have, then keep it there until the next two restock lists come out. If nothing on those lists interest me, then I'll buy something I've had my eye on for a while and ship it out with the other previously bought kits so I don't waste a ton of money on shipping a kit or two.

>>14623955
>>14623962

I ask because I'm looking for this:
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/godhand/item/godhand-gn-125/

Is it wise to buy RGs ot MGs when I am just starting off?
Of course I am not planning on tackling those yet but sometimes I hear how some kits are out of stock and it worries me.

>>14624584
Yep! That's what I did. Remember that you can start wherever you want, there's no difference in how difficult it is, just in part number.

>>14624584
The only reason it's suggested to buy an HG is because they're cheaper, so if you fuck up or end up not liking the hobby it's not like you just wasted a ton of money.

>>14624665
Just to clarify, I mean why it's suggested to an HG if it's your first gunpla

I would argue that HGs can be trickier as their parts are smaller.
