What's the feddies' obsession with jim heads on all of their MS?

Why don't they just mass produce gundam heads?

>>14674202
Is it sentient?

Did it kill its pilot?

>>14674206
Hopefuly, we wouldn't want a gundam to be dependent on its pilot.

>>14674202
>>14674205

The lighting makes it looks like you added that weathering over a metallic paint coat. The result is pretty strange to say the least.

SHOW ME YOUR FAVORITE GUNPLA!

Gundam heads are dumb.

>>14674206

It is probably cheaper to produce a GM head since it's simple and just one color with a visor slapped over all the sensors, rather than the shit going on in a Gundam head.

Pro-tip. Don't use black to preshade vibrant colors.

Do a highlight instead.

>>14674235
bless

>>14674300
Alternatively, add a bit of black to whatever colour you're going to paint it, and preshade with that

>>14674202
>>14674205

This >>14674300 but you also need to practice way more brush control. Get cheap acrylic craft paint thin it way down and draw the thinnest straightest lines you can on paper. Really helps.

>>14674312

may also help to play with your pressures and speed (slow) to do this

>>14674300
>>14674310
>>14674312
Thanks for the tip. I've never done preshading before so I expected that I'll fuck it up

>>14674329
Eh, it takes some practice. My preshading/highlighting was so all covering you couldn't even tell I had tried it.

>>14674337
My first* preshading/highlighting I mean.

>>14674329

Yeah this is the kind of thing that actually takes more skill/practice, before this it's kind of just figuring out how the brush works and doing pieces evenly. This is fun because it adds this kind of new dimension to a kits look and you have to actually get better at painting.

Im thinking a dark metalic green for the darker chest parts, and maybe a lighter limey green for the limbs. Also trimmed with a nice shiny silver. Cause you ain't a true G if you ain't got no chrome.

>>14674374

Yep. Plamo wise there are some really really old Bandai HGs, as well as some recent modern kits in the Real Robot Revolution line. As for figures in general there are a few chogokins and RDs as well
>Galient
You're pretty shit outta luck for that. There is a pretty expensive gokin out there though.

== ACE PILOT GROUP BUILD ==

Starting September 1st, you have two months to build, customize, and paint a mobile suit of your choice into your own personal design. This can range from just a repainted Zaku to a kitbashed Gundam loaded with any spare rifles and rocket launchers you can find. Any suit from any series is fair game, just design what you would use as a MC suit. When you're done feel free to post it in the thread, but also send it to [email protected] so that all the entries can be compiled/posted at once when the group build is over.

Group build ends on October 31st, get building!

I was honestly thinking of doing no prizes, but I guess it'll give some incentive for you guys, and I do have an unused giftcard laying around that I should probably use. How does any HG kit under $25 sound?

>>14674687
It's what people voted on, I guess the way I worded it makes it sound like "Do whatever you want". Just make an Ace Pilot's suit didn't feel like it had enough unf to it. /toy/'s GM Groupbuild was about two months too, so I figured two months would be enough time to acquire kits/materials and work to your heart's content.

Also since I guess money's involved in this group build now I should adopt a trip to thwart fakes.

>>14674655

I really hope I make it in time.

Yeah, I'm asking because I can help contribute prizes, as I have some kits lying around. I can throw up a Frame Arms Cutlass for the winner. Alternatively I can also throw in a gift card.

>>14674740

I wanna compete, but I don't airbrush so I doubt I'll win, but if I got third place and an action base or two, that would be rad.

>>14674740
Having a second person shipping out prizes might be a bit confusing, but the giftcard might work depending where it's for.

I've been royally botching my attempts to learn airbrushing
Using a cheap Testor's "babby's first airbrush" kit that relies on canned air

I can't get it to actually spray paint, it looks like the paint nozzle on the canister is freezing over, I assume from the canned air. Is that actually what's happening/how to prevent that? I don't think the paint canister feed whatever is clogged up because I keep it good and clean

Also, after about the 4th time I've run out of paint while still on the same color I feel like color-matching is getting old. Do other anons use big paint bottles for their air brushes, or mix colors up in a larger bottle and add to the air brush bottle as needed?

Last question, I'm using acrylics, how long should I wait for it to dry before adding the top coat? Since it's pretty dry to the touch at 1 hour, but apparently takes ~a week to cure

What's the point of Daban Ver kas when they aren't by katoki?

It is quite an open category, but I think it's deeper than it seems. All the good Ace Customs aren't just a mish-mash of various parts loaded up with weapons, they're still fairly consistent in design with the faction's Mass Production suits. Take Woolf, for example, and even the Hyaku Shiki is still very much in line with the Zeta and later iterations if you ignore the bling.

SPEAKING OF WOOLF. I think a lot of the AGE designs deserve better than they got, so I'm using my new G-Bouncer for my entry. Was going to use Adele arms and legs, but it was out of stock at the time and I forgot the Diva Colour version was a thing, which was in stock. So... I'm repurposing an HG Spallow's arms and improvising with some modified Transient legs.

Pic related is the colour scheme I'm thinking of using, along with a mock-up. I've decided to instead use a modified G-Bouncer head though, with the 'ears' cut off and a commander horn.

Lmao girls don't give a fuck what you collect if you are confident and say "Because I like the look of it" or "Oh this is my hobby, I build for fun" Ive had girls compliment my gunpla collection and figures because you know why? Because I dont drop spaghetti.

And if a girl doesn't like them or makes fun of them, guess what, they aren't for you.

I realise this could be a bait post because this little fumina is nothing compared to an actual cast off figure which admittedly can be a bit of a hard sell in comparison.

>>14675168
So you will feel degenerated when I get you to receive my Big Zam

>>14675255
The bust works perfectly fine if it's with other character busts or the character's gunpla.

If you have a shrine dedicated to the character, then THATs a hard sell

>>14675255
This guy gets it. The key is to not go full retard. Women like men with hobbies and other priorities. Women are selfish creatures they see you being dedicated to something other than them as a threat and it makes them a little more attracted to you, their ultimate goal is to get you to me more dedicated to them than you are to that thing. Of course if you do fall into that trap you lose because they got what they wanted and there is no more challenge there so they start looking elsewhere. Its the basic principle of you want what you can't have and what they want is your time and attention. all of it.

>>14675217

I only have a regular Gouf.

What are your opinions on secondaries?

Do they "deserve" to build gunpla despite being completely unfamiliar with everything that goes on in the actual anime?

>>14674655
Can we make writing a backstory for the ace pilot a requirement? I want to read more cringey shit.
Also I wouldn't mind donating like 5 bucks or so via paypal or something for the prizes

'll answer that when you can answer why you have like 12 pairs of fucking shoes and 10 different jackets.

>>14675308
Gundam/gunpla is the only thing i care about on /m/ and I don't give a shit about any other anime or anything
What does that make me

>>14675308
I think I'm a disgrace to gunpla.
That being said I'm watching the animes as we speak.

>>14675308
Are secondaries considered people who build but don't watch any anime and not the other way around?
I mean the anime is made to sell the kits

>if you have a shrine dedicated to the character

not really, I had heaps of Ayanami Rei figures that nearly fit on one shelf and it was totally fine(But ive since sold most of them for more Gunpla)
But it depends on how big the shrine is I suppose and what miscellanious things you add (dont have a birthday cake with candles still lit in front of it basically)

a fumina shrine at the moment would be like a couple of her gunpla and statueshit, I dont think it would be a problem for some anons to have one that size

>>14675401
Mobile Suit Gundam.

Followed by Zeta Gundam

Followed by ALL the OVAS, ie War in the Pocket, Stardust Mammories and 08th MS Team To palette cleanse

Then ZZ Gundam.

Then Char's Counter Attack.

It's what I did.

>>14675485
Is ZZ that bad?
What makes it so horrible???

>>14675343
So build the Fenice Rinascita next then.

>>14675514

ZZ is great, but gunota can't accept that the first 18 episodes are comedy. Second half is serious stuff better tha Zeta's second half

>>14675514

ZZ is fine, and gets good late in the series, it's just way sillier than Zeta so many people who transition right to it from the end of Zeta dislike the jarring transition

It's not that it's bad. It's just mood whiplash. If you start ZZ immediately after finishing Zeta, the abrupt toneshift will throw you for a loop. That's why I recommend to watch the UC OVAs after Zeta.

I started ZZ immediately following Zeta, and I appreciated the change in tone. Zeta ended on a pretty sad note, so I liked that ZZ gave me a palette cleanse for its first half, before getting back to Zeta-like tones.

>>14675514
The "ZZ is bad" meme is pretty stale desu.
I was on /m/ as I went through the different series in production order, and /m/ kept hyping ZZ as some terrible shit.

It's not anime

>>14675343

>>14675165
Studio Reckless kits are fixed posed, so it has no articulation. It's not shit because it looks 100x better than the Bandai HGUC Xeku-eins. Some people like resin kits because they are not manbabys that need model kits with articualtion so they can play with them like action figures in their parents basement.
Mecha resin kits are models that you build and paint, like Hasegawa or Tamiya military models. They are not intended for people who want toys.

Bandai kits are toys that you can paint, but most of the people who buy them usually just snapped together and play with like toys. I'm not a manbaby so fuck that shit. I prefer a real model kit.

Most GK mecha kits are even easier than Bandai kits, especially the original castings. You could probably just superglue that thing together and it'd hold up just fine, pinning's rarely even necessary with those 5" GKs.

The only concern for newbies is working with resin

>>14675690
Oh, ok.
But i ask for Lieutenant, not a Captain you baka.

>>14675722

and 0 parts separation for painting and fitting parts

like literally everything difficult

>>14675743
I can almost guarantee that particular Studio Reckless kit will have parts separation for most of the parts that need to be different colors if not virtually all of them. At the very least it'll be on the same level as Bandai's HG 1/144 kits. It's not some waifu scale figure, mechanical kits are almost always meticulous.

>>14675254
I assume Blue transparent parts is the standard and Purple is the Devil Trigger shit.

Can we make it so the group build must be grunt suits only, but you can add in (gundam or MC suit ) parts to your ace custom?

>>14675824
>ace
>not a gundam

>>14675824
There's quite a few "Grunts" that get upgraded to Gundam versions for customs though. The GM striker upgrade comes to mind.

As well as "Ace Custom" Gundams that are mass produced.

How's the PG MK-II Titans? I want to buy it soon as a birthday gift to myself.

And depending on how they finally canonize it, waterproof from aqua gm even though personally think it makes more sense it was rx-78-1 upgraded with aqua parts as it has more of the original frame of said gundam especially with land type now.

Be worse if they pbandai origin gun cannon white base type.

So I've only built about a half-dozen kits so far and other than one (which I attribute mainly to it being RG) I haven't really run into a hand grenade yet. I feel like I'm due to slip up eventually, though. Are there any kits that would be considered 'must avoid' for being grenades?

>>14676017
They're only hand grenades if you want them to be. The only true hand grenades I've ever built were the RG Strike (after months of endless fiddling and armor swapping though) and some SD's with garbage balljoint connections.

So I've done model kits before, and sculpt alot etc. This isn't my first rodeo; but for my first gunpla kit I got the rg Mk II (AUEG)

How fucked am I

>>14676062
You'll be fine.
My first rg was a Mk-II also and it turned out great.

>>14676062
RG MkII is the most stable of all the RGs, be it AEUG or Titans. You'll be fine.

once upon a time we were building imported 90s gunpla from anime we could only dream of being able to watch. things like Victory Gundam, Zeta or X were a mysterious, far-off concept that could only be accessed with a laser disk in the land of the rising sun; some weird some weird kit from an import shop was all we could get.

Panel lining without paints or Gundam markers, is it possible? How do I do it?

>>14676148
mechanical pencil

>>14676148
I get by with a feathertip marker and some q-tips. Just a little pressure on the marker will let the ink flow into the grooves, then clean up the overflow with a swab (or if your really ghetto, just wipe it away with your finger).

I just use a mechanical pencil. You can wear it down by scribbling on a paper or use a sanding stick or something to make the tip as sharp as you want so you can get the lines in deep crevices.

When you're done building it, glue in anything that's loose and not supposed to move.

What the fuck does that have to do with the question being asked though? I'm thoroughly confused.

>>14676662
Sometimes gluing two pieces together makes for a cleaner looking fit, especially on newer kits, since the piece doesn't loosen up and it doesn't get worn down due to repeated removal, whether deliberate or accidental.

Runner of the Berserga DT plamo.

Is there anything I might need to know about the Gundam local type? Just picked one up last weekend but a few of the parts thus far have been oddly fragile (the red visor being the worst one).

>>14677111
seems overpriced and lacking in content

would've preferred an HG rx-78-02 with bunch of cannons

>>14677069
Short answer, spray.

Long answer, you want an even coat of primer that allows other paints to adhere to the surface better. For that reason, any *proper* primer for plastic models is a laquer, because it will have a stronger chemical bond to the plastic, giving you a more durable base to paint on top of. Laquer paints dry fast, so brushing isn't really an option; ergo, spray.

SDF Macross is solid asides from some QUALITY animation and some parts of the post-war episodes. If you like it continue watching in production order.

Martian Successor Nadesico is pretty darn good comedy with hints of a harem, and it still holds up even the dub.. Avoid the movie though if you don't want to spoil everything that made the TV series good though.

If you want a more serious real robot show with some comedy bits here and there watch Full Metal Panic. The robots are more grounded to Geass S1 levels before the 7th-9th generation KMFs take the stage asides from about two-three exceptions.

This thing a decent alternative to sanding? Alternatively, is an exacto knife an alternative to sanding as well?

>>14676795

its possibly drying before hitting the part, play with your distances, air pressure, and thinning ratio

>>14677209

they're both stupid faggots

>>14677201
That's just for "Gundam White" parts right?

>>14677376

learn to paint or quit

>>14677382
I like my models to look nice while I don't have them painted yet

>>14677347
There is no decent alternative to sanding. Stop beating around the bush and just learn to sand, it's not hard.

How does the Gouf custom compare in terms of articulation to newer releases like Gouf Prototype and Revive?

>>14677389

then leave them in the box

>>14677347
What is that?

>>14677398
Thank you for your brutal honesty. This is why I come to fourchan. Its not some fucking cuddly hugbox.

Do I need a mask to sand plastic

>>14677408

I would heavily suggest one yes, you will sand more than you think and most people around here are not very clean.

You can wetsand to keep the dust down but it also is a somewhat different process with tradeoffs.

How far can I go snapbuilding a kit before I reach the point of no return and I can't like paint it in the future to make it look better?

>>14677407
Gunpla is freedom. As long you are satisfied, it's okay

>>14677415

I typically don't put any stickers on if I plan to paint but you could easily add them if you don't mind spending time cleaning any surface they were on

>>14677418
fuck off enabling secondary snapshitters
if you want to get into this hobby you better fucking do it correctly

>>14677412
Can I just use a disposable mask everytime? Is it better then nothing?

>>14677423

yeah it's not fumes like painting, you are just trying to block the dust from getting in your system

>>14677422
Why? Most people aren't going to take part in any competitions, hell, most of snapfitters aren't even of /m/. Be it lack of time, talent, motor skills or simple laziness, let them be. Oh, sure, mock their creations for what they are but why care about them doing gunpla 'correctly'? It's not like each and everyone is producing another Red Cliff.

>>14677423
One 3m mask will last you many models.

Alternatively, do it outside and position yourself so wind pulls dust away from you.
Also, dust reaaaaally messes with lungs. Not in quantity you can get from gunpla but still, why risk it?

>>14677422
But gunpla is freedom.

I fucking hate the end of the months because I just want the restock list to be out so I can budget myself. Why can't it be the first already?

>>14675574
Don't lie. ZZ IS bad. Its just not anywhere near as bad as people say. It's still the worst of UC Gundams hands down, and still pretty low on the totem pole overall. I honestly think it's better than Wing, SEED, and IBO. And of course Destiny, but that goes without saying. It's primary issues are tone, and some logic errors, like Moon Moon and a certain character's death.

An x-acto knife is a good idea in general. You can shave down the nubs with it, but you have to be careful about gourging the plastic. You probably will still need to sand though, depending on how good you get and how high your OCD is.
A file does the same thing sandpaper does, so yes, it is an alternative.

>>14676692
Are you sure you get what's being asked?

>>14677462
I liked ZZ more than Z

>and a certain character's death
If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, I can't disagree with you there. I was pretty miffed they weren't dead after I got a heavy dose of feels from it. Moon-Moon didn't really bother me though.

Just for reference, I only got into /m/ this year. I like all of UC, so I'm not lying when I say I like ZZ. It was fun. This all comes down to a matter of taste, honestly. Of all the gendums I've watched, the only one I haven't liked for far is 00.

Is that Volks or Wave?

It's fine to Like ZZ. I just think it's objectively not good as a whole, but has some really good chunks in it, but can be enjoyable.

I was referring to Rasara

That's fair.

I thought you were speaking of Leina, but Rasara's death confused me as well, looking back. I don't understand how she got injured there. I didn't see any rubble hit her.

Can't wait to see the finished product.
