The poll for the Group Build is complete, and with more than 25% of the vote the winning is the Ace Custom option. I'll do a proper writeup later, but the general idea is to build/paint your custom suit that you would use if you were an ace pilot. Custom armaments/weapons are a plus.

SHOW ME SOME CUSTOMS

Fuck OP, I love how fucking ridiculous the build process for the RG Zeta is, I almost didn't want to finish it because of this form.

Not mine, found it in the Gogg thread going on. Why is Gogg (and by extension Hygogg) so based, guys?

>>14667036
Its part of bandai's new service where their website now lists a licensed middle man option you can pick as a shipping option on p bandai kits if you are non-Japanese. So far the only kit listed under this is transam 00 raiser and you still have to pay all the middleman markup.

>>14667028
Perfect timing, I was wanting to attempt a custom.

>>14667028
Hey and ive been wanting to do a something like that and was planing on doing it during the fall.

Id like some input on it tho, im planning to use the Gelgoog jager as a base and paint in yellow and black. I was then going to attach the Gelgoog marine commander shield to it, and give it a beam bazooka. Lastly I was maybe thinking of putting the Psycho Zakus backpack on it.

what are gunpla generals thoughts on this?

Neat. Might have to actually try to get in on this one.

Does the 1.5 Gundam count as a "Grunt"? I haven't seen 00 and always thought it was kinda the MP version of the Reborns.
If I'm not gonna be able to use that, I'll use the Adele or G-xiphos.

>>14667064
What are those little squares on the torso? Are they a specific piece of styrene/putty or did you mold them yourself? Looks very cool by the way.

Such as?

I mean the Ez-8 is an "Ace Custom" of the Ground Gundam, but that's the only Ace Gundam I can think of, but even that's because the Ground Gundams are practically grunts themselves.

>>14667088
Neat. I have to try making something like that.

>>14667091
Railroad and artcraft supplies. The stand itself is an actionbase although things like dollar store picture frames and pinewood bases from the art store are very commonly used as well because they can be picked up cheap. You can get little tree kits anywhere that sells model railroad stuff but it's easy and cheap to make your own out of twisted wire or glued together sticks. The grass and leaves are "Flock" which is made of sawdust dyed green. A thicker flock is usually used as foliage. I'll post a pick of some of my supplies later to give you a better idea if you want.

>>14667089
Just thin plaplate cut up into little squares and glued on. I wish I had researched reactive armor a little more and made the squares closer together.

The Casval Rx-78 isn't really an Ace custom. It's an entirely new unit. Yes it looks like the Rx-78-2 that Amuro used, but the guts are entirely different and unlike that of the classic Gundam.

Fair point on the other examples though.

Sometimes I seriously think about getting the RG RX-78-2, but the G30th has this hellish knee joint that's nigh impossible to mask cleanly (You can't separate it, the joining point is too delicate)

>>14667060
Honestly? The Psycho Zaku backpack is way to unique to its parent suit. It can't be anything else but the Psycho Zaku backpack, which was one of a kind. I have the same problem in Gundam Breaker, I feel it makes a suit look more obviously derivative than if you use more generic things in interesting ways. The Gelgoog base is great, for instance, because it's mass production and there are a ton of interesting things you can do with it.

Other than that, what are some other suggestions for other things I could add to it.

>>14667764

Looking at the transformed modes it seems extremely similar internally to the HG design, at least the mechanical portions such as hinges and joints. Hopefully the knees are different (they look different from the pic) because they are kind of a shitty part of the kit. I also hate the way the external knee armor connects on the HG, but that could easily be different.

Yeah I don't get what this is supposed to be exactly. The whole reason the Stargazer works is because it's so clean and different and yet in motion its design makes so much sense.

This tries to copy the aesthetics, but then slaps them on top of a Zeta with Hyakushiki legs? Why? It doesn't work. The Hyakushiki's fucking exposed legs clash so hard with Stargazer aesthetics.

No.

Is HLJ worth using for some reason I can't discern? Seemed pretty nice until I got to the shipping selection, cheapest option was fucking $50. I'd rather pay the markup on amazon and get it in 2 days for free.

>>14668109
the warehouse is pretty much the only redeeming factor. shipping would be $50, like on the kshatriya and sinanju together, or about $10 like on a single hg gouf or zaku

>>14668109

Generally you want to order from Japan only if you want to buy a lot of kits at once(like 100 dollars worth), and want them before they go on Amazon since Amazon gets newer kits like 2 months after Japan does, or you don't care when you get them if you're going to cheap out and get SAL.

If you just want 2 kits don't order from Japan.

>>14668109
EMS usually takes about a week, about the same as UPS ground from california to New York. Usually HLJ prices are okay, often lower than amazon when you buy a bunch of stuff. Then again, I heard EMS prices went up recently so who knows.

How limited are my options if my favorite suits are late UC?

>>14668109
With the USD and yen being 1:1 now, there really isn't any point in importing if you're in the US unless you don't want to wait. Especially if you have prime.

F91's Crossbone Vanguard has old 1/100s of the Berga Giros, Den'an Zon, Dahgi Iris, Vigna Ghina, and Vigna Zirah. Good luck finding them though.

Crossbone's Crossbone Vanguard has only the main Gundams in both HGUC and MG, with like half of them being P-Bandai.

Zanscare has old 1/144s of the Zoloat, Zollida, Contio, Rig Shokew, Tomliat, Shy-Tarn, and Abigor. There's also a 1/100 of the Zollidia. Again, good luck finding any of these, since Banrise fucking hates late UC.

How do you get the camo pattern so smooth? I know masking tape is involved, but is it particularly easy to cut it into a rounded shape? I've got some Tamiya, is that what you used?

File: IMG_3619.jpg (1MB, 1600x1200px) Image search: [Google]

1MB, 1600x1200px

>>14668347
its just Tamiya cut in freehand curves, i wouldnt use anything else.

it was one of the first camo patterns ive done so there are some rough spots, especially where peices of tape met, but it came out pretty well in the end.

>>14668372
And the gist is you cover a section, then after painting that section cover the paint with masking tape and go over the blank section? I could read a guide but anons explaining tends to get it across better.

>>14667860
I'm pretty sure there are still places that have the actual MSV Zaku Tank kit, though there are two of them, one older, the other a smidge newer.

>>14667864
Are you planning on putting decals on?

>>14667658
They need to make a line that forgoes the transformation gimmick in favor of enhanced stability and posability. Like, the robot damashii Zeta Gundam for instance. I wish my Zeta Plus or Gabthley could pull off the sort of stuff that action figure does.

>>14668381
that was a really simple paint job, just paint everything with one color, mask off roughly half the surface area then spray on the second layer.

there are a few different ways to apply camouflage markings, it gets more complicated the more colors you want to use and what the pattern is. the general rule is to start with lighter colors and go darker with each layer and make sure the previous coats were dried properly before applying more tape.

if you want to be really lazy there are camouflage decal sets now, which are convenient for digital camo and weird stuff like hexagon camo.

hobbywave has good prices and $18 flat rate shipping, and ordering from Japan almost always is cheaper that local.

That being said, If you live in the GTA and want to get only one or two kits or buy one in person, Ukato has some decent prices, and, while it's a bit more expensive, AnimeXtreme on Spadina has a very good selection

Do you guys buy kits in bulk? Whenever I buy a kit I usually build it within the week, unless you count putting on the decals and painting and all that which I do over a period of time.

>>14670472

I used to work a very punishing job, so I'd buy kits in bulk but it would take me like 2-3 weeks to put together a single kit since I'd be able to work on a kit maybe 1 day out of the week, and I was never fast to start with.

That's how you get a backlog. If you're putting together a kit every week you might as well buy in bulk since it should be cheaper in the long run and you have to wait less.
