The stretched out legs aren't even my biggest issue with Katoki's redesigns; It's the way he shrinks the head and torso to such minuscule sizes that makes his stuff look so horrible to me.

It doesn't work on the Zaku. The legs are genuinely just too long. Look at it. The suit is literally half legs.

== 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 stick to 1/144 kits and you're good. When you're done feel free to post it in the thread, but also send pics to [email protected] so that all the entries can be judged/posted at once when the group build is over (If you don't want to be judged for the contest just feel free to mention it when you send in your pics).

Prizes include:
>1st Place: Any HG kit under $25 + an Action Base 2
>2nd Place: Any HG kit under $15
>3rd Place: An Action Base 2
(Note: Shipping is to USA and Canada only)

Group build ends on October 31st, get building!

if you dont think your paints when using an airbrush it will just clog and damage the brush instead of model.

also get an ultrasonic cleaner while you're at it. it works wonders with both airbrush and model pieces.

So I finally finished my first ever Master Grade. I made a few mistakes but luckily nothing that broke or ruined the basic framework. Be honest with me, did I do alright? And if you could I would really appreciate some advice for future MG projects

>>14692140
the waist and legs were the first things I assembled due to hearing that breaking problem
once I did it, the mechanism is pretty clever to give extra range of movement, but it seems really fragile, so you want to be extra careful with it
I suggest to sand down a bit the pegs of the pelvis and thighs connectors to eliminate any friction and make them rotate and move more smoothly

>>14692135
Damn that's perfect

Shit why do mobile phones make all the damn pics sideways on 4chan?

>>14692197

Shouldn't you color in the panel line on the upper arm?

>>14692209
I thought about it but I wasn't sure if it'd stay due to being points where the pieces connect

>>14692202
4chan strips metadata from photos when they're uploaded. Try saving the photo as a new image after you've rotated it.

>>14692216
No, it'll stay. That seam-line was disguised as a panel-line for a reason.

>>14692233
I'll take the marker to it some point tomorrow then, I still got a rifle and bazooka to finish and I should probably panel line the shoulder cannon and the other weapons as well

>>14692164
Plus there's a TV down there. I was watching Build Fighters while finishing up my MG today

I'm most likely retarded but how the fuck do I attach the RG MK-II to an action base?

>>14692281
super glue

So the big december release really just a zaku with a new hat, a shitty one at that judging by the massive fuel tank.

This has been the worst year ever I gotta say.

Just got done building, actually. Put a can of topcoat on it. Kinda wish I had that stuff that melts the edges of stickers. Oh well, I'm still happy with the build of my favorite Gundam.

Though times like this wish I still had a backlog of kits to build.

>>14692322
>stuff that melts the edges of stickers

Those only work on waterslide decals.

Anything else like stickers or dry transfers don't melt and bond to the plastic.

>>14692348
Well shit, guess I read something wrong. Could've sworn there was something similar to stuff for Waterslides.

Has there ever been a gunpla kit whose legs were fun to build?

If anyone suggests MG MkII 2.0, I started losing my shit around the point I had to cut cloth tubing for the legs. The legs are very nice from an engineering standpoint, but it didn't make it any less of a chore.

>>14692399
It's in poor english and I've already seen build fighters

>>14692430
Oh fuck, they did that for the MG too? I hated that shit for the RG

>>14692417
What's the white kit in the back in the upper right?

>>14692441
You're shitting me, they did it for the RG?

I always figured it was on the 2.0 because it was taking design cues from the PG.

>>14692430
>It's a cut the cloth tubing then cover 99% of it in plastic episode

I don't know whether to love or hate the guy for not using the Aile Strike as a base.

What is the best non-Revive version of the RX-78-2 at 1/144 scale, with consideration to OOB surface detailing/body proportions/posability? The RG, the G30th or the original?

Or would mashing up various body parts from all three yield the beefiest but posable setup possible that's not Revive?

I just built the HGIBO Astaroth. It was shit. Didn't like it at all. Felt really light, cheap and weak. Everything looks official. Bluefin sticker and everything. Is this kit really just shit or did I manage to order a convincing bootleg?

>>14692655
Thanks for the help, I wasn't aware when I said "HGIBO", but your post has eased my worries. I thought the implication would be clear that even by the standards of an HG kit this thing makes me wanna throw it in a fire, but I guess I'll need to be a little more upfront next time. That way, it'll save me from having to make a passive aggressive post when some shitter comes in making what they think is some kind of clever or humorous post when they aren't actually even answering the question THAT WAS FUCKING ASKED

Yes, I am mad. Fuck today to be honest.

>>14692676

Have you never built an IBO kit before? The entire frame is PVC and then the designs are like 90% frame. What were you expecting?

>>14692694
I've built the Carta Graze Ritter, Man Rodi and the Hyakuren HGs.

I only build HG kits, for a couple reasons.

None of those felt quite as bad as this one did. I really liked some of those. I also built the 1/100 Barbatos, but that one felt bad too.

>>14692676
Sorry dude, but their HG kits suck. Get the NG next time, or actually don't be such a dumb fuck and do your research before you spend 12 dollars on a kit. You poor thing.

>>14692702

And no, this isn't how I display it. I was just messing around during a different build.

I have an RX-78-02 here, but I don't want to use gay ass stickers on it. Does anyone know how different it is from the 3.0? If not very, then I might try to get the waterslide decals for the 3.0 and put them on 02.

So I guess i'm behind the times the hildorf got a kit anyone know if its any good?

The price is fifty more then Psycho mk 2 so I'm kinda hesitant to buy it. Given that it should be way smaller.

origin for all the extras.

This. Origin has so many optional parts that make it worth getting over the 3.0, and any add-on kits for the 3.0 are still compatible with it.

And personally, I like the design of the Origin better. Also not a fan of the grey on the 3.0.

Finally I can join here. Snapbuild my first Gunpla ever, was really easier then expected, thought I would fail at the moon runes. Gunpla building was really fun, unlike Revell models I used to build, I was really suprised that I actually really needed no glue at all.

So, after this first, fast build for the first time, whats a good Gunpla to try coloring on? I would probably use Citadel colors, as Im used to them.

Anyone has the HGAC Wing Zero? I dig the design but I heard the arms and waist fall apart too easy.

>>14693973

Those are some of the easiest fixes. I've heard the same thing although I've also heard others say it's very solid so I guess it's a case by case basis.

If yours is loose just dab some krazy glue on the balljoint while it's not actually connected to the model. Just a thin layer or two to thicken it by some nanometers and get a little more friction going.

>>14693982

I posted this last thread, this is the size comparison on an HG. They're not designed for either, really, but it depends on what you're looking for. The pile bunker attachment goes quite nicely on an MG.

>>14693647
There's a bunch of great kits for testing your painting. RX-78-2 Revive (for angles), Zaku II (for smooth curves), things like the Hi-Mock are dirt cheap too and have big smooth surfaces for easy painting. Citadel paints are alright but you'll want to make sure you thin them quite a bit to avoid brush streaks (since I figure you'll be hand-painting) - the pigmentation suffers a bit but they work alright.

$50 and its a great starter kit. Sprays nicely, Comes with a decent compressor and its a double action gravity fed, which is by and large considered the best.

If down the road you want to upgrade to a better one, the compressor will still be there for use with the new brush.

>>14694590
I started out with something like that. They're good for beginners since they're not at all complicated at the cost of versatility. Plus most, if not all, high quality air brushes are not only more expensive themselves but require a compressor, while those work fine with cheap air cans.

tldr: It'll work just fine

It's a total stickerfest and even then some parts need to be painted for color accuracy.

But the engineering is pretty damn good from what I've heard.

So if you don't mind either being color inaccurate out of box or having to put in some extra effort painting a lot of details and transparent parts, it's fine.

>>14694723
I've got unit 4 (I think it's 4, the blue one) and it's pretty neat. Just note: All the white lines are stickers, the pink effect parts are clear and have to be painted, the thin red lines are also stickers. Otherwise though, it's not bad.

You need an airbrush
Paint the base coat of the model
Then use a darker mix of the basecoat and airbrush it in fine lines over panel lines
Then go back to a wider spray with the original base coat paint with a "mist" coat, which a very, very light coat, which will take down the contrast between the base coat and the darker panel line aiirbrushing

>One is $14, the other is $90, even with discount
The amazon one is 50, and its free shipping. Yes, one is 14, but you got to look at the comparison

>50$ Airbrush
>Is an actual airbrush
>gravity fed
>dual action
>comes with a compressor and some basic tools
>compressor is a standard compressor and can be used with any airbrush down the line

>14$ 'airbrush'
>is a plastic stick external mix toy
>has a cheap rubber tube running to air from an aerosol can
>is made for children
>Nothing from the actual 'airbrush' can be salvaged when you go to a real airbrush as nothing is used by anyone else (because its a fucking toy)
>is a child's version of single action

You get what you pay for man.
Honestly, its a 14$ spray paint can for children

How do I achieve this kind of finish?

It seems to have combined matte whites/grays with metallic everything else

I'm not sure what he did for the plavsky crystals, but the pain body was probably this.

>literally need to spray 1 coat of paint
>windy as fuck, can't paint
>go back to work tomorrow

>>14694966
The clear parts look like he did a candy or sparkly mettalic coat on the inside surface of the clear parts but left the outer surface untouched so it retains a bit of clear depth while still giving it pop.

>>14694979
in a thread one time i read that was kob, guess I was wrong.

I'm currently only up to CCA in terms of Gundam (going in production order), but I'd like to branch out to other series in terms of kits.

What's some cool kits from Seed, Wing, ect?

>>14695088
Epyon, Heavyarms, Destiny, Freedom

>>14694622
>>14694698
I bought this airbrush to practice with too, and the mini compressor only activates when you start to spray, but either I screwed up hooking the thing up to my moisture trap, or it doesn't like to feed air through the regulator/trap anyway.

Either way from what I've heard it's a decent knockoff, but I'm hesitant to shoot Mr. Tool Cleaner through it since I don't know if it will melt anything.

>>14694912
I don't think you're quite understand what money is. I mean if you want to buy the full Airbrush for me, I'm not gonna say no. But hey, continue to be an ass about it.

>>14695175
Oh god what. I'm kinda interested how the melting agent would look if it were sprayed out of a brush. Might give a really cool effect to shields.

>>14695181
Melt as in melt the rubber seals that prevent the brush from leaking. Mr.tool cleaner is basically just a stronger lacquer.

>>14694636
take my strong hand

>>14695189
Well damn. Just gotta get some cheapo brush to sacrifice.

>>14695181

The guy is just trying to tell you that if you're going to buy an airbrush you might as well get something decent, instead of a piece of crap just because it's a cheap piece of crap. You are being more of an ass than him.

>>14695189
I've heard of some people who just replace the rubber seals with teflon tape to keep the brush from leaking, which might be what I end up doing if that solvent ends up eating through the rubber.

>>14695213
I was just inquiring about a single item because it's cheap and I have the paints for it already.

I'm not looking to get an actual airbrush quite yet as I don't have the money nor space for a good set up yet.

Just finished an Amazing Exia which was not so amazing. Eye sticker slipped and tore the left eye in two. The neck joint stretched the plastic in the bottom of the head after I noticed the sticker and removed the head to remove the sticker so I can paint the eyes instead. Had to add to the neck joint to make the head fit again so now the neck looks funny. At least it was a cheap buy and everything else is ready for panel lining and such.

>>14695252
How?

Thanks for saving me 50 bucks anon, I was considering buying a blue frame.

Never cared much for the G-Armor but this is well done anon. As the other guy said, maybe the preshading on the white areas is a bit too strong, but still better than 90% of what /m/ puts out.

>>14694053

Thanks for the tip, but I think Ill try panel lining first on my next kit. Ordered a Astaroth, even though someone in this thread just said its garbage. Kinda like IBO designs, except Barbatos. Lets see how bad it can get.

Gonna get that RX-78-2 Revive, but that is a kit I really want to look good, so Im gonna try practicing on others first.

And oh wow, the Hi-Mock really did get a kit.

Someone here build a Kabakali? Really like that one, but apparently G-Reco kits arent really good quality, and the beam rings kinda look... ok at best.

>>14695389
you're are fucked man. to be desu honest you're fucking fucked, my man. it's all downhill from here. fuck man i'm so sorry

>>14695416
I've already started eyeing up what to buy next @_@

How's the HG Gundam X? How different is it compared to the MG

>>14695442

The HG is really nice.

>>14695429
Firstly
>Emoticons on 4chan
Secondly I'd say look into the UC Revive line, possibly Build Fighters as well but most of all pick the gunpla you want to build.
If you don't have tools already I'd recommend getting some as well as a Gundam Marker set for panel lining, especially before you try any larger projects like Master Grade builds.

>>14695459
thanks :^)

>>14695442
Much simpler obviously but it's pretty nice. Just gotta be careful that it doesn't take a full, if the satellite canon breaks, it's very difficult to repair.

Why gunpla attract so much weird autism people?
Why do i think i have autism?

>>14695450
>>14695476
My main concern is the looks of the satelite cannon, from the pictures on the amazon listing it looks not too great; or rather, cheap.

>>14695489

It's a fucking HG, of course it will look cheap. That said it still looks pretty good.
