== 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!

>>14704478
Yes.

>>14704556
Build Mk. II is just the 11 year old Mk. II 2.0 with a booster and slightly different head and chest.
I've heard good things about the Sengoku though.

>>14704562
>>14704478
You *can* print your own (all you really need is the paper, which you can probably find online), but the biggest problem is that most printers can't print white, which limits a lot of what kind of decals you can make

>>14704580

I see. Thanks, I thought that it was pretty much a long shot. I order from samueldecal or other third parties and was just wondering if it could be done independently.

>tfw you have a bunch of kits but are waiting on cutters and hobby knives

suffering

>>14704607
Waiting on paint is worse. Just to have it arrive and find out you forgot a key color you needed.

>>14704607
just use fingernail clippers, I won't tell anyone

>>14704609
Where do you order your paint from?

The HG is old and shitty.
The MG is old but not shitty, actually pretty solid.

>>14704623
Right now I'm too new to use lacquers so I buy tamiya/vallejo from scalehobbiest because it's cheaper there than on amazon and they generally have what I need in stock.

This is also just a general question, but how often do you guys run out of primer? I feel like I'm just tearing through these spray cans after like one HG. Do you guys buy in bulk or something?

>>14704635
Thank you

>>14704612
Getting new nippers for every 5 kits is kind of overkill...

A knife / blade, I understand, but nippers?

>>14704678

I've started changing out my blade after every 1-2 kits because the quality of xacto blades has seriously, seriously declined.

>>14702184
>Left trigger hand

What kits come with left trigger hands? I love me some dual-wielding.

>>14704699
That's pretty reasonable. 2-3 kits depending on the grade seems to be the limit before rust and nicks set in.

>>14704575
Thank you. I mainly like the Builds' guns, but if they're on a not-very-good frame then I guess I can get something else instead.

>>14704678
I take my nippers seriously

Also I use it as an excuse to go back to GundamPlanet because I love it there

>>14704703
Yeah, my personal limit is 1 per 2 HGs or 1 per MG.

>>14704703

The thing is that I used to change them out every 2-3 kits, but now sometimes I have to change them out every single kit because sometimes the edge just rolls/bends like it's fucking nothing.

>>14704710
Personally, it depends on how much time passes between kits for me. If I'm knocking them out back to back I can get three good builds out of a blade. If there's enough time between the kits for rust to set in, maybe 2 depending on how bad it is. If it's back-to-back MGs I change regardless after the second one.

What the hell are you guys doing to rust your knife blades? They already come pre-oiled and unless you live in the rainforest it takes months for them to even show discoloration for me.

Seriously wtf are you guys doing?

>>14704736
I live in Singapore which has 80-90% humidity.

>>14704736
I build my kits in my basement (no humidity control), my xacto didn't come with a sheathe for the blade, and I tend to leave it laying out when I'm in the middle of a kit (3-4 days for a HG, over a week for a MG).

>>14704701
>Left trigger hand
>What kits come with left trigger hands? I love me some dual-wielding.

Seconding this.

How compatible are the old HG Seed Destiny kits with the HGCE Force Impulse Revive?

>>14704701
HGUC ZII

So Bandai has been on a roll with the revive and Origin kits, did they hire new engineers or what?

>>14704812
I would assume so. The Origin kits are fucking masterful.

However the lack of MGs makes me a sad boy.

>>14704816

To be fair, the MGs they're putting out this year are two Thunderbolt ver. Kas which were likely very ambitious and expensive. They also put out that Hi-Res Barbatos, two RE1/100s and IBO 1/100s.

Next year there will probably be more MGs.

Is this supposed to be here? My airbrush is cooked and won't spray anything (air flows fine). I've taken it apart and cleaned it multiple times now and can't see any issues so I'm lost. This is all I could find but it might just be something I've never noticed while cleaning before.

Water just bubbles in the cup and it'll rarely splurt. Can't find anywhere where it could be clogged after cleaning it, even using a brush to see if I can find where there may be some dry paint but nothing shows up.

Have gone through many google suggestions but results stay the same. Am I just going to have to buy a new airbrush?

>>14704786
I don't have access to any to compare now, but I'm pretty sure the backpack connectors are different.

Fuck, guys, I really can't wait for winter this year.

I always hang out in my basement and have a show like Trailer Park Boys on while I'm building my gunpla. I'm wrapped in a blanket with the major source of heat being my space heater set so there's that balance of not too cold without the blanket, but it feels great under the blanket, along with the image of snow from tiny the basement window making me feel so much better.

God, winter is the best season for comfy gunpla building.

I think this thing is gonna be as close to done as it's gonna get. Would have only needed some touch up paint on the back mounted guns, but the freakin peg on the left side snapped off again. At least I managed to make the left hand more snug, and the wiring seems to hold up for the most part. Just need a good stand for this guy (suggestions would be appreciated), solder on some extension wires, and I'm just gonna close the door on this guy.

So what are you guys working on?
I'm trying to put LED's on my kits now, anyone have thoughts/tips for this one?
Anyone tried running their own LED's through HG before? I have Khashatria and two more regular jegans unbuilt and i want to LED them all alongside this Stark. Im messing with it right now. planning to make a diorama build, so if anyone has had experience with trying this, I'd appreciate it.
Sorry for the grainy photo, im sleepy and wanted to post this on here before i crashed for the night

>>14704844
That sounds like some gay shit, anon, but gay shit I'd like to experience

>>14704872
If you're gonna put LEDs in Kshatriya, you're gonna have to get some of those SMDLEDs for the thrusters, since those don't have much room to work with, unless you don't mind the wires showing out the back and the bulb sticking out. I did an LED for the mono eye, where the LED itself is in the torso and the light being fed upwards using fiber optics.

>>14704872
Working on an RG sinanju.
Hopefully it's my last snapshit build.
That depends on how well my next build goes

>>14704897
Thats a great recomendation for those surface LED, but im not quite confident in my soldering to get that fine work done on prepping them. I like your fiber optic cable idea though,

>>14704921
It works well overall. Just make sure you have a small enough drill bit or knife to bore out the eye area. I went a step further and carved out a hole in the top portion of the black chest piece and put a clear red runner piece behind it so when the LED is on, it looks like the psychomu is active. Good luck on your end.

>Can't wait to watch S2, and watch it change forms every episode, forcing me to buy 25 kits, and 25+ extra kits for the add-ons
A true hero. I'm hyped for the Lupus and the new Graze and the Tekkadan units (especially since they revealed the option set gives you different faceplates for them) but I'm on the fence on the new G Rebake, having bought two of them the arm articulation is unexpectedly bad and something about him makes him clunkier than the barbie even without the backpack on.
I'm dead meat if runners and manuals show new and improved engineering for it, though.

>>14705108
I had the 1/60 ingram a long time ago. the rubber cowling that went over some of the joints was stiff and a bitch to work with. Otherwise they're solid, if dated kits. Close in size to the taller CCA-era hguc kits

I'd like a helldiver or a brocken if I could get my hands on one.

>>14705169
Thanks.

>Close in size to the taller CCA-era hguc kits
HG Sazabi / Nu size?
Do you remember if the box for the kit was big too?

>>14705171
Woops, meant to say taller hguc kits *or* CCA-sized. I'd say Jegan sized but with chunkier limbs. Box was comparable to small-medium hguc

>>14705201
Perfect.
Thank you again.

>>14705157
What did you expect? I made "forms" that aren't official forms, like the Mars Duel and the Armor Purge "forms" that get very limited screen time. What can I say, I love me some Barbies. And the Lupin's still got that V-Fin I do so love. Not sure how I feel about the Type A/Gusion Re-Rebake, but we'll see when the gimmicks and the show produces a moving picture of it. New Graze looks ok, but I've built 6 of them (Crank's, 3 Ritters, Ryusei, and Ein) so I'm a little burnt out on them, but I'll probably buy them too, since I'm a slut for IBO kits.

There's probably gonna be a little more new engineering, since I saw some promo pics showing off the "complete" Inner Frame, and for a HG that's unheard of before IBO. So that might be another reason to get them?

In other news, I also finished his Graze yesterday, and the banner for it, so I got some fun looking shots of the Barbie and it in the episode 3 poses. Gonna dump the 4 images.

These two were annoying since the focus would make the Barbie too bright if I focused on the Graze, but I wanted to get a clear shot of the Graze too.

This one was easy, since I only had to focus on the Barbie, and the Graze could be OoF since that gives it the shoulder eye view look.

And this was just a fun pose, but hard to get right since the lighting was a spotlight and reflected off the table too much at some angles.

Still have to do some detail work on the Graze, but I got him built without looking at the instructions, thanks to the number I built before him. What do you guys think? Did I miss anything?

I tried weathering for the first time.

>>14705288
>smearing poo on your gunpla

>>14705297
>not making the difference between Argellan Earth and human feces

>>14705298
Nah, he's got a point. Weathering is supposed to looks layered, and grimy, not like Harambe's counter attack.

Maybe try dry brushing some Browns and blacks on raised corners, or adding a little more colors of the dirt spectrum to areas you think the kit would most likely impact things during every day use?

>>14705301
At least your criticism is constructive. Thank you.

>>14705169
>I'd like a helldiver or a brocken if I could get my hands on one.
HLJ had Helldivers and Brockens in stock the last time I checked.

>>14705288

Bro no.

>>14705308
Try something more along the lines of what happened on the model's right side of the v-fin. Those little lines, in moderation, can go a long way, and remember, less is more when it comes to weathering. Unless you're doing straight up bullet holes into the cockpit, or actual battle damage like a lost limb, weathering won't really give you too much all around.

GM Revive when? Or at least a Hi-Zack Revive or Zaku III Revive? *crosses fingers for December 2016 or Jan 2017 release*

These HGUC's need new molds bad but Bandai keeps spouting out Strike Freedom variations.

They like whoring out the molds.

There is a Revive Ground GM announced, or HGUC Ground GM or whatever the fuck. So now we know, they have a GM mold. Probably a Revive GM will be out within the next 2 years, I would bet my firstborn son on it.

>>14705242
Yeah I'm pretty hopeful given the new innerframe, but we'll see. I may fall victim to my weakness later and get the Rebake MkII no matter what just by virtue of how bulky and blocky it is. I know what you mean about Graze burnout though, I have a Ritter and Carta up, and I'm working on Ryusei now. I'm keeping good pace though all things considered- probably because I finished a Lightning Zeta and the difference in engineering was a breath of fresh air.
Think we'll be seeing some kind of Re-Grimgerde later? I'm sad we don't have more Valkyries yet.
Any plans to get the Astaroth/Origin?
Any chance of a group shot of the Barbies in Ginyu force/sentai poses?

>>14705330
There´s people who like the Zaku III?

>>14705352
A ground gm would share basically no parts with a vanilla gm. The surface details are different on pretty much everything. At best it would maybe share the runner for the grey joints.

There's people who like Zaku?

Astaroth is actually the next kit on my to-do list. I bought the last 2 Barbies, Crank, and the Astaroth at Otakon (as well as a RG Qanta for my sister and me to make together for the Setsuna display, but we finished that already too), so I'm almost done with that backlog.

My girlfriend built a Nemo and is working on the F type Zaku (she wants to paint it but isn't sure what scheme to go. Pink and blue her favorites, or a more muted white like snow Camo) and I got her the Tieren Taozi for her birthday since her favorite color is pink, and she fell in love with it during our watch of 00.

I still have quite a bit of a backlog outside of that, so I'll prolly be holding off on buying anything until I finish more of my backlog. I really want the Hyaku Revive and the RG Sinanju for my Char collection tho.

I'm sure Chocochar will get a new suit, or at least a revamped Valkyrie. I mean those japs love their Char, so they're not gonna write him off as Durandel again.
Hmmm, maybe I'll lose a few like that when I get home. Right now they're just all lined up, but I could do that and the Weasley Family Photo I've been meaning to do!

If I were to get a 1/144 Physalis I should get the MLRS one because it includes the Missile Pods as well as the Nuke Bazook right?

I have potentially very dumb question regarding HLJ purchases
I ordered last month some plamo, one of them was Valsione which was listed as Sept Restock item, decided to check availability today, and it is discounted.
And being listed in my open orders as discounted.
That means that I'll never get it now? Or that it being processing as purchase atm?

I wouldn't say mad, but more like perplexed as to why. "Shitty pose" is too vague, seeing as they might not be very creative or just haven't gotten the hang of it, unless you mean straight up "KILL ME" terrible.
I have some of mine in straight up standing in hangar look because they're difficult to pose, but I try my best with some, succeeding at times, failing too. I should spend more time doing it, really.

>>14706150

I pose all of my kits just standing up display style.

>>14706150

>>14706100
My excuse for some of my shitty poses is that I just pose the GMs like they are in the anime. Literally standing around being useless.

Anon, I think you have a problem.
Though if you're looking to sell, I'll buy that MG Epyon off you. I'm assuming it's the EW version?

>>14706636
Not sure if I can use amazon, but I might go ebay unless anyone here is interested.
The only thing I know I really want to sell is the Norn+Led, Archers, Megasize Char Zaku, and maybe one or two V2 MG.

>>14706647
It's the EW version, but you might as well buy it from HLJ since it'd be the same.

>>14706100
What do you consider as a shitty pose or not one at all? I don't think I've ever seen a Gunpla not look like its posing, even if it is kinda bad.

>>14706670

Amazon has a thing where you can sign up to sell on Amazon and all it costs is 99 cents per sale unless you plan on signing up with Fulfilled by Amazon. It's pretty much the same as selling on ebay only I think you have more visibility on Amazon, but I'm not too sure about these things.

You can try selling on here too, throw up a list and post it for a couple days and you're sure to get some bites.

Not sure about other Tomytec models but I've done this and a VF-1 that I posted a couple threads back and they are fighter mode only. Small scale too (1/144 of a fighter, so yeah), but they look amazing.

>>14706677
Hmm, I could try that if I'm able to from sweden. I feel nervous about using services so time to read the ToS. Neat, thanks.

What elephant? The next barbatos? I don't care about that. I might but the shoulders are too dumb.

I just got a DSLR for work and school, but I'd like to start using it for Gunpla photography too.

Any top tips? Also, I remember ANT, god bless his soul, used to post a pic with multiple settings. Something like that'd be great.

>>14706760
protip: just mess around with the settings. manual mode, low iso, lots of light. find something that works.

>>14706718
How much would you want for the Megasize Char's Zaku?

I've never even seen one of those for sales so I wouldn't even know where to begin to offer you a fair price for it.

>>14706743

yeah, I've never seen a vf looking that contemporary before.

>>14706769

Not the guy selling it but Mega Sizes tend to run around 75-100 dollars on average. The problem is I sincerely hope you live in Europe since he is from Sweden, so in order to ship such a huge fucking kit internationally it would probably cost like 50+ USD.

>>14706769
I'd sell it for a bit less than what HLJ wants, and would include some small things(maybe two HG weapons or some parts from one, a few polycaps too if wanted). Easiest would be going on there, adding it to stock and seeing how much it would cost in total.

I'm going to buy the PG Phenex and the Sengoku Astray even though I haven't built the PG Unicorn or Banshee or Red Frame Astray yet.

Only reason why I'm not getting the 1/144 Dendrobium is that I have literally nowhere to put it.

What's that kit that everyone here shits on but you just love? The RG Zaku II is honestly one of my favorite even though everyone calls it a hand grenade. For me at least nothing falls out or breaks very easily, and its so flexible and can pull off a ton of cool poses. It helps it was one of my first kits.

I haven't heard much to any bad talk about the RG Zaku. I built the Char, and it's pretty solid. The hoses were a bit tedious, but aside from the fingers, it's not a hand grenade. Now the GP01fb is, quite honestly, a hand grenade, and the Freedom with it's wing bits being held together with 1 micrometer of plastic are pretty hand grenadey, imo. The 00's and MK-II are solid, while the RX-78 is a bit flimsy in the shoulders and hands, but solid everywhere else. I hate he base connection tho. Worst base connection I've ever seen.

I've finally decided to bite the bullet and buy some Gunpla. I'm leaning towards getting a Zaku and an RX-78-2, but I don't know what grade to get - what are the pros/cons between HG and RG?

On mobile so image might not be in the right orientation, but this me.

>>14707046
if its your first gunpla and you don't have model kit experience I'd suggest HG, since RGs have some unforgivingly small parts and while the 'technology' and quality of the kits is superior to HGs they aren't really noob friendly imo

HGs have much fewer parts and are way more forgiving for first timers, plus cheaper. I'd suggest HGs just to get your feet wet.

>>14707046
They both have the same height anon 1/144. the difference is that RG has more pieces so start with HG if its your first time building one

How do I paint on cameras? Is it like silver as a base then clear color over it? Do I need to do the thing where you paint it black before spraying silver on it?
On MGs where it's clear plastic, can I just directly put clear paint on it without priming?

>>14707046
>HG and RG?
RG is generally more detailed and complex (in terms of the amount of parts each kit has) than HG. Both are 1/144 scale, so it really just comes down to surface detail. HG is now the default grade for kits, they usually are of high quality minus lacking proper full coloration in most kits. So it's up to you - slightly more expensive but really good looking kit vs good looking and generally cheap kit

>>14705381
This.

>>14707053
>>14707058
>>14707067
I'm new to Gunpla, but I have built some model kits in the past. and already have some tools - a side cutter, pair of tweezers, and hobby knife.

Do the RG kits for the Zaku/RX-78-2 have any problems besides the few I've read about in this thread?

>>14707096
My first (only) RG was the Zaku 2 and its solid, my only complaint was the springs and rings for the pipes were fiddly to put together, and sometimes the skirt armor falls off if you move it around too much but it is a really solid kit and was a LOT of fun to build. RX-78-2 is always a good choice because I feel Bandai puts the most effort into what is essentially the flagship kit for them.

Anyway, here's the one that Anon wanted. Took me forever to get them to stand still, since any slight movement caused them to wiggle and fall over. That and I couldn't find a pose for Armor Purge Barbatos, so I just had him standing in the background. Had the first three do the Cooler Force, and the following 5 do classic Ginyu. Love this picture!

>>14707098

is that a pink purse in the background?

do you have a hot sister?

can you send me her panties?

don't worry i won't do anything weird with them

>>14707064
For transparent pieces, there's no real point painting them unless it's to change the colour, and even then the results aren't usually great because the paint is clear.
For painting cameras on regular parts, silver to reflect a bit of light, and then clear. Black base is for metallic surfaces to make them look more realistic

>>14707098
Looks nice anon. What scale is that?

I don't really care about Gundam I just want some kits that are fun to build.

What are some fun-to-build kits?

>>14707178
Any perfect grade

>>14707178
Personally, Build or Try Burning are good. Simple kits that can go together in an afternoon, great articulation & effect parts for all your hot-blooded kung-fu needs.

Just taking a quick glance at staples.com, doesn't look like they have printers that can print white, and I highly doubt that they have waterslide paper either.

>>14707209
After some digging, probably the easiest way to do this would be to buy and ALPS printer, but they've been discontinued, and refurbished ones cost upwards of $400 depending on the model. Not to mention, according to wikipedia, they stopped making ink cartridges for it last year. Other options include Citizen's Printiva series (which also seems to be discontinued and not sold anywhere), and some oki printers (the C711WT being the cheapest as far as I can tell, which starts at $3395).
In short, good luck and hope you have a lot of money to spend.

In my head, my collection is essentially a UC museum, with obviously zeek-sympathetic leanings and some oddities thrown in (IBO/Build fighters shit). Not having these regal suits that were honestly only propaganda pieces anyway in the roster just didn't seem right. Also, I got most of them fairly early in my gunpla madness, before I understood what things like "P-Bandai" and "snapbuilding" really meant. A lot of the MGs in that pile are being reserved for a time when I feel my skill is adequate to at least do them justice, if not pay exquisite tribute. Until then, many HGs and a few RGs have honed and continue to nurture the craft.

Still determining what weapons to strap on it but I think I have the paint scheme figured out. Never done a group build before so I'm excited

>>14705288

might as well paint your Turn A and call it Turn P if you're going to be that autistic about weathering

Also look up Oil Streaking techniques and look into mud/dirt effects and pigment powders.

And remember the golden rule of weathering.

"Less is More".

The more subtle the weathering, the nicer the overall appearance usually is. Weathering should make a good model look better, not distract from it and be all that you notice.

>>14707878
Also, that guys youtube channel has a lot of good modeling guides on it.

Sweet fuck, this thing is twice as thick as the box for the VF-31 while being just as wide and just as long.

Was planning on doing a prototype doven wolf/silver bullet but I ran out of ideas on how to actually customize it. Thinking of doing a geara zulu now since MGs are out of the question.

Does anybody here actually find panel lining or basically any of the other post-assembly steps fun/enjoyable?

>>14707965
the only "post-assembly step" is photography m8 and it is p. enjoyable

>>14707965

You should panel line as you build.

>>14707965
Panel lining can be pretty fun, same with painting

>>14707910
Make the Silver bullet a Celestial Being mobile suit and make it one of the early meisters
I dont recall them ever having wired bit testing, so that's a decent start for a backstory.
You could also make it wireless because muh innovade/AI pilots

>>14707991
Man painting looks intimidating desu.
I look at the stuff I've snapped together and my eyes are instantly drawn to the imperfections.
Fucking up a paint job would physically wound me.

>>14707803
Haven't settled on a color scheme quite yet.

Need to just settle on one and get it painted so I can get onto light weathering and minor decals.

>>14708008
Invest in a lot of thinner. As long as you thin your paints and separate the pieces, you'll be fine. Buy a few SDs to practice on.

>>14708008
So pick up an inexpensive, simple kit like a GM or a Zaku for the express purpose of practice. It's not one that you're meaning to look good, it's one you're gonna screw around with until you can master a technique that you can use to make something else look good.

>>14708020
>>14708026
Alright I'll do that.
I've got a guncannon II i wouldn't mind fucking up as practice

MGs Exia and 00 Raiser.

Everyone keeps going on about balance issues, shitty ankles and whatnot, but I've had none of those.
There's very stiff articulation in the torso for a reason. Play with that and the heavy weapons/backpack can be posed anyhow you like.
I've actually reposed several of them owned by other modellers, and they all say the same thing: center of gravity is too hard to visualize.

I like them so much, I've been hunting my holy grail kits for years (see pic).
I bought Trans-Am Raiser during a business trip to Japan last June (found it in a warehouse sale in Kodama), whereas Trans-Am Exia got a reprint in August and it just arrived recently.

I'm happy.

>>14708140
>gloss injected version
Gross. I will find a way to paint those colors in a way that looks good though.

The RG RX782's shoulders love to fall apart, but some glue can fix that. Otherwise its a decent kit.

Hey, could I get some opinions on this scheme? It looks pretty finished to me but my opinions are mostly shit anyway and I dunno, it just seems either too busy, to be missing something, or both to me.

I discovered panel washing recently, it is an orgasmic feeling to watch the drips of ink spread like a Christmas tree through the plastic and neatly line all the tiny details.

Tried playing with my new camera and my new ghetto lighting setup.

Whaddaya guys think?.

Also, the kit itself is not perfect, yeah. I built it back in High school and only topcoated it very recently

>>14708218
Seconding with question, do I need to like topcoat an inner frame at all?

>>14708333
Perfect example of why non-shit photography makes shitty builds shittier.

Lighting: 4/10
Focus: 7/10
White balance: 9/10

Build: should not have topcoated/10

Hover over the word and they'll explain what they mean with discontinued. They don't expect new runs of the product or their distributor told them so, could still happen though and has happened.

>>14706718
Hey! Another Sweanon here, I could be interested in some of your stock, depending on prices and timing.
I live in Stockholm.

What happens when I use a clear coat over a matte coat?

Will the matte coat lose its flatness?

Yes, the instructions on how/where to cut bits out so you can implement polycaps and put actual working joints on it.

ooooh wait that's right, /m/ doesn't have any mods, def not ones that would delete those posts so I guess sucks to be you faggot :^)

>>14707803
i keep going back and forth between deciding to make a feddie one or a zeon one. i'll probably end up making both and putting paint and detailing into whichever comes out nicer

I live pretty near Stockholm, bit south of it, but I've got no car so I would have to use the train. you could e-mail me and we could probably work something out, I could use a trip again to Wentzels so going there wouldn't be inconvenient. [email protected]

German here. I could probably take some of those off your hands. EU import tax is a bitch.

I remember that HLJ had the MG Zaku I on "restock" for almost a year, where it would say "_____ Restock" for whatever month it was. Needless to say it didn't restock in that time so you're better off finding a different source to make sure it does get restocked

>>14708622
yeah, seems that way. I just have 10 kits in warehouse already, want to sent them all if I won't get Valsione. Don't plan to make new HLJ purchase for awhile after that, I'm real slow with plamo.

>>14707803
Where is that chest from?

>>14708432
I ordered the Valsione when it was apparently reprinted. I also saw the Discontinued. I figure that someone hit the wrong key or something when changing the status.

Have faith, I guess.

I don't have much hope. I guess demand was just bigger.

So I just topcoated my second kit.
This was bare plastic.
And I seemed to get a frosting effect.

The last kit I topcoated had a glosscoat.
Is that what I should have done to prevent that?
I was damn sure you can flat coat bare plastic.

Is there anyway for me to clean this up without losing the coat?

>>14708720

Do you live in America?

>>14708733
No. Siberia. Why?

>>14708729
you're spraying your matte coat to far from the kit, basically thinner is evaporating before it actually reaches the plastic and the paint gets wonky because of that

>>14708738
I am usually actually afraid of spraying too close. Huh. Any suggestions? Should I just go back over?
I saw a possibility of clean up with rubbing alcohol, but it didn't say if that would remove the topcoat or not.

>>14708747
practice on plastic spoons

>>14708738

How close should you spray?

>>14708754
follow directions on the can otherwise >>14708752

>>14708736

Because I have a Valsione deep in my backlog and I was gong to sell it to you but if you live in Russia it's all fucked since it would cost me more than the cost of the kit just to ship it and then it would be held by the merciless jews of Russian customs. Sorry.
