Is painting mandatory on PGs?

>>14715710
Is painting ever mandatory on Gundam kits?

>>14715714
HGs sometimes need it.

So is anyone getting the Scopedog that is coming out this month? I'm pretty excited

>>14715710
color seperation on pgs is perfect. only paint if you're a masochist

>>14715710
Top Coat is always mandatory.

If you have an airbrush you should be painting everything because you can mix the right color.

If you're using spray cans and you're not making your own colors spraying the armor seems dumb to me, but adding details like gold/chrome/gunmetal/silver/Titanium on certain parts like thrusters and weapons can add a lot while leaving the main colors be.

While sanding and denubbing is always mandatory and top coat hides it some it will look better with primer and paint.

You know, I'm still kind of amazed we didn't get a Zaku Amazing MG, even if P-Bandai.

And nothing of value was lost

>>14715751

Is the Gundam Breaker videogame Gunpla-related?
If so, how far into the game (3) do I need to go before I unlock Barbatos or Gusion?

>>14715868
Yes it's heavily Gunpla related. That's the whole point of the game.

You can get the Barbatos like 5 missions in I believe or just going to Bounty Hunter mode until you find someone using Barbatos parts.

>>14715877
I mostly just meant is it cool to post about it here.
I just picked it up and I'm looking forward to grabbing the Barbatos, the FA-78 and maybe one of Char's Zakus.

>>14715891
It's an okay tangent, but there's usually a GB3 gen and we hit the page10 with the bump limit within a day or two as it is already.
Best case scenario you can talk about customs you want to build having made them in GB

>>14715891
Nope. We had GB3 threads, but they're dead for now, till the next batch of DLC comes out.

>>14715695
Post the group build you fuck

>>14715815
>mobile worker
Yeah, anon, you got some fine taste.

== 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!

>>14715815
>Jesta
mine came today as well.

Gunpla truly is freedom.

>>14716061
Will it free me from my never ending depression that seems to get worse and worse every day

>>14716090
Yes. If it doesn't I'll buy you a MG.

>>14716097
How do you guys get the motivation to build? I have a bit of a backlog because I kept buying kits that I thought I'd enjoy building or having on display, hoping that doing that would be enough to get me to want to build but I can't seem to get myself to actually start anything.

>>14716090
No duh?

>>14716118
Think of a project and do it. Give yourself a deadline. My current projects revolve around group builds luckily, so I have motivation and a deadline from those.

>>14716118

I think about how two of my friends went to Thailand and had some wild orgies, and how the cost of their trips were about as much as I've spent on gunpla. So if I don't build it was all for nothing.

>>14716145
Gross.

>>14716136
I've tried something like this, didn't work though. But I think it's mostly because of my own inability to properly meet any deadline I give myself. I try to force myself to just do it but I end up just losing steam after building an arm or a torso or something. It sucks, I can't get myself to enjoy anything anymore.

>>14716145
That's pretty funny. You must've spent a shit ton on gunpla.

>>14716160

You can't force yourself to build. If you have to force yourself the hobby isn't for you. I don't know about anyone else, but for me gunpla is a meditative experience. I relax through the gentle motions of denubbing and things like painting give you time to do whatever it is you need to do while waiting for paint to dry. If you're getting bored try working on 2-3 kits at the same time so if you're sick of one you start doing part of another. Just have a well-organized area so you don't get confused.

Also I'm pretty sure everyone has those kits where you buy it and then you lose all motivation to build it. If you didn't start you can always sell it. If not keep it for future customs.

Oh jeez. So guys, anyone here own a PG Zaku? What's there to know about it that Dalong can't teach me like how sturdy it is? And are there somewhat old MG (I'm guessing his collection is mainly middle 2000's) kits to that are worth asking for? Sorry for blogpost.

By the way, it takes a while before you actually fight a Barbatos to get his parts, but you can develop them from Gundam G-Self, which you develop from the Gundam and also appear pretty early.

Jesus... it's like none of them learned how to transform from the Zeta. Honestly I think the Zeta is the only transforming unit that I actually like. Even then I wish the Zeta's shield didn't attach to the front via magic.

OF ALL TIME

>>14716426
I think the Bawoo handles the transformation into the Bawoo Attacker decently well, although the Bawoo Nutter is pretty bad.

>Gundam Ground Type backpack in GB3
Is this a real fucking thing? They strapped a FRIDGE to this nigga's back.

>>14716437
Minus it's FUCK HUGE booster things, I agree. Wait, is it a parts former? Do you have to float parts from one section to another?

>>14716439
But it has to separate into multiple parts, which is totes lame. Anything with a single piece transformation without floating parts/parts forming is best.

>>14716440
Yes.

The best transformer, both in design and in transforming mechanism, is the Airmaster.

>>14716446
Nah. All that happens is that you fold up its chest piece and fold out the tail bits.

>>14716439
Why is Bawoo even a partsformer in the first place?

>>14716446
Other than the sword-rifles, no it's all one solid transformation. Legs just collapse in, (You need to remove the kneecaps that hold them in place though), shoulders and chest flip up, backpack just folds out. It's loads better than most other HG transformations (ReZEL and ZII comes to mind)

>>14716463
I think it might have been to make the original toy actually transform, but I haven't picked up a No Grade of it to fiddle with. They maybe could do the transformation by folding the legs back, so that the hips would be just below the backpack, but the engineering isn't there.

>>14716453
110% agree. It's a single transformation and it's awesome.

>>14716459
>>14716464
OK, that's actually pretty good. It just looks awkward when it's in MS mode IMO.

>>14716426
Zeta's transformation is a massive clusterfuck.

Things like Zeta plus and Murasame do it much better.

>>14716485

Zeta's transformation method is supposed to be a clusterfuck. It was designed by Kamille.

>>14716453
>Best transformer
>Not something Macross
VF-1 a best

>>14716510
That's not the VF-25

Does anyone know the difference between the Zaku 1 Sniper and the Yonem Kirks Custom Zaku 1? I can't find anything really about it, so I'm not sure which one to get.

>>14716160
Build with others. Maybe collect a few people that like to build Gunpla, chuck everyone into a Skype call and point your webcams at your work area. You'll be surprised how much more fun it is to do tedious tasks like sanding and nub removal when you can watch a handful of other people also making progress on theirs.

>>14716545
>dalong.net
It's just extra details

>>14716485
The Z+ has nearly the same transformation.
But yes, the Zeta is a clusterfuck, but at least it's a decent transformation without "HEY YOU GUISE!" face peaking out the bottom or just flipping it over.

>>14716549
what if i don't have friends

>>14716545

The Yonem Kirks is the same thing with some more panel lines, a slightly darker color maybe, and some mortar tubes(?).

>>14716601
carrying cases for spare beam sniper rifle barrels

>>14716314

Does anyone like Scramble Gundam?

>>14716469
I kind of meant in the series. All that happens when Bawoo shows up is the Attacker docks with the Nutter and forms the actual suit. Why have it in two segments to begin with, why not have a waverider form or just keep it as a single mobile suit?

>>14716640
there was no stated reason, Zeta and ZZ era is when everyone went a bit crazy with a lot of high end or gimmicky or experimental but ultimately inefficient and impractical designs

>>14716426
There is the AGE 2 though.

I mean it isn't perfect, but at least it makes an effort to not look like a robot laying down.

>>14716552
biggest difference on the Z+ is how the wings move, on the Zeta they flip and spin and unfold on sub-arms with multiple attachment points in each mode, while the Zeta Plus just rotate out and plug into the torso...

Going right in deep with my first gunpla kits . Got 3 rg kits cause flat rate shipping. And I know I'm gonna do them. Picked up chars zaku, quanta and of course; the mark 2 AUEG. Because fuck

>>14716696
Well, the Bawoo's surprisingly close to the Victory's Top Fighter and Bottom Parts.

>>14716707

You know, if these are your first kits you're inevitably going to end up with nubs(not too bad) and gouges(bad). I don't know why people keep jumping into the hobby with complex kits. All you're doing is fucking up more time consuming/expensive kits.

Get yourself one of those 10 dollar IBO HGs and do that first, please.

>>14716720
But the Victory actually had a legit reason for being a partsformer, in that damaged or destroyed components could be ejected and a fresh one would dock to continue fighting, after the awful beginning where the League Militiare forced Uso to learn midair docking mid-battle. I don't recall Bawoos doing the same thing in ZZ.

>>14716830
I did it. If you're gonna be in there a while, wear a mask so you don't choke.
Run a vent during and after, and if the kit isn't drying in that room, then run the shower with hot water for a few minutes. The steam should rise taking most of the fumes (if not all) alongside it and your bathroom is safe to shit in again.

Are there any good eva kits? Looking to pick up an 01, preferably.

Has anyone done any of the frame arms girls kits? Are they any good?
They look pretty interesting/cute, and the one normal frame arms kit I've built was great fun so I've been considering picking one up

>>14716958
The first (Gourai) was fairly experimental and had a couple limitations and issues, but each release had built off of and improved over the previous one.

>>14716939
Bandai's are good OOB but Kotobukiya's need some paint.

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy the Perfect Grade. There is a rubber jacket that is used for the underbody, amd it is a cunt to work with. It WILL rip on you, because the holes for body parts are miniscule.

Alright, I'll look into the Bandai kits. On just a quick search I found this: a kit for the rebuild unit 01. This one looks like it comes with a good number of accessories too. Are there any real differences between the different kits? I notice that there is another 01 kit from like 1996.

Forgive me, but these elbows are kind of suspicious. Are they just a kind of rubber that goes over an inner frame or something? I ask only because I can't find any EVA stuff on dalong. In all the screens I can see, the elbows don't seem to move.

So I saw a Super Gundam mk2 on amazon just now it looked great Had these weird pink trails coming out of its head. As I looked closer it was not In-fact the Titans Colored Gundam MK2 but a pink haired girl covered in Mk2 Armor and weapons systems, 124 dollars wat. is the girl PG or something?

>>14717350
You use the syringe to count the droplets you put down.

When you see a ratio, you can count it by how many paint droplets you put into a cup or plate.

You should do the Sazabi since if you build the Zeta you're just going to be thinking "shit, I should've built the Sazabi first so I could pose it with my Nu."

Fucking hell, everytime I see a pic of any amazing HG Origin model I get all the more pissed that MG wise we only got the Gundam and that's it. Imagine how amazing the Mobile Worker would be as a MG, or Zaku 3.0s based on the Origin design, or the Dom and Gouf Test Types....

Makes me seriously want to hope that one of next year's shows will be an Origin anime that directly adapts the manga. I wouldn't even care that it'd just be a fancier retelling of the original show. Just give me some goddamn MGs from it.

Can a thin coat of surfacer be used as a substitute for primer? I'm sick of spray cans.

Should i get the hg kampfer or the kampfer amazing?
The mg is sadly out of the question.

>>14717746

Those kits use the same mold so it's literally just which one you like more. Either way you're going to have to paint in a lot of yellow. I prefer the regular once since the weapons are cooler.

new here, should i topcoat after panel lining a kit ?

>>14717770

Megaman would just use Striker Packs instead of having shoulder cannons.

>>14717776
Nah he fought CannonMan to get this upgrade

>>14717784

But then he would lose them if he switched to another robutt master.

Good thing he's NOT. Topcoating will prevent that

Hot damn. Ran across this while looking up Sinanju customs. Stein was already kickass, but Gundam Stein is amazing. Makes me want to do a custom inspired by this.

>>14717776
also what are striker packs and would those really work better?

>>14717820

They originate from SEED. Basically backpacks that carry additional guns/gear that strap onto the MS so it can perform different roles, whether that's high speed, long range firepower, melee, whatever. G-Self does it too.

>>14717746
Kampfer if you like militaristic weapons. Amazing if you like futuristic weapons.

>>14717830
Oh that is cool

>>14717698
Confirmed for garbage taste.

>>14717333
Specifically telescoping or just extending? The Gundam Virtue's GN Bazooka extends a bit, I suppose, but if you're fine with folding cannons the MS Cannon builders parts are pretty awesome.

First off never use full-black for lineart, it looks like trash and you won't be able to go over it with a new color unless you restart.

This guy almost has it, but his layering is all over the place. I'm going to assume he doesn't actually mean to use the same grey as the inner frame for armour parts, as that's a terrible idea. Try not to use colours both under and over other colours, as it makes it look all haphazard.

As for the grey itself, don't make it too much a contrast with the shite as it's purpose is to break it up, not be a colour in its own right. The principle behind it is spot on, though.

Lastly, make more use of your detail colour. In my humble opinion black and white colour schemes always, always need a fairly bright colour to contrast with, which should be a bit more prominent than the occasional lens here and there.

All that being said, black,white and yellow is a great colour scheme.

Yeah, I kinda derped there with the black. Realized it a bit too late. It kind of ended up being just really dark grey for "black".
I was aiming for a sort of panda scheme, since it's going to be my Trueno inspired kit. I should've mentioned it at first, I'm really, really sorry.
That said the extra yellow for top camera and the round in the arms wasn't anything I thought of, so I'll definitely keep that in mind, and the yellow at the end of the shoulders I was planning on having orange at, for the orange lights.

Hey Orphans,
My name is Ein, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are manlet, retarded, no-lifes who spend every second of their day guarding stupid ass princesses. You are everything bad in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten any pussy? I mean, I guess it’s fun killing people because of your own insecurities, but you all take to a whole new level. This is even worse than having no parents.
Don’t be a stranger. Just hit me with your best shot. I’m pretty much perfect. I was 2nd Lieutenant of the Martian team, and starter on Lord Gaelio's team. What positions do you play, other than “jacking off while crying 'Kudelia sugoi' ”? I also get straight A’s, and have a banging hot girlfriend (She just interfaced with my Arayashiki; Shit was SO cash). You are all faggots who should just kill yourselves. Thanks for listening.

>>14719280
If a dude is taking pictures of kits like that, he's not thinking about how cute he looks or how he wants people to pay attention to him, he's just showing off kits. Girls posting in the examples in the thread are purely for attention. They have to include their face in it, otherwise they wouldn't even post it in the first place because they're insecure about their positions as women. There's always exceptions to the rule, but what's been posted in this thread aren't so.

I assume you mean MG. The only touch-ups I see are having painted the missiles red and their surrounds a darker grey. Which, by the way, is easy as hell because the missiles come on a separate piece that plugs through the holes in the shoulder, it's a great bit of convenience design.

>>14719459
Found the hole!

>>14719459
Considering that men created the hobby in the first place and put the most effort towards it, in addition to being the primary consumers of the things this hobby has to offer, yes, what men what matters more than what women want.

>>14719454
how could feminists possibly ruin gundam/gunpla??? japan doesn't give a shit about american third wave feminisim.
I don't get it. Why wouldn't you want to be in a hobby where cute girls might be interested in the same things you are?
Don't act like you didn't play WoW or Runescape when you were younger hoping to come across a real girl

Literally Tomino's words

"What I want modern day Gundam fans to understand is that Gundam wasn't nurtured by the PlaModel enthusiasts. It was young women who first came to the after recording studio, and Gundam is a work that began with their support. And it was a work that had no connection to the popularity of Gundam PlaModels. So I think the most important thing is creating a work that will attract those kind of girls to it again. I don't think movies as an entertainment industry can succeed without touching on that kind of fundamental portion."

“The very first fans of the original Gundam were young women. Definitely not the PlaModel enthusiasts. With both Gundam and Raideen, of the first fans to be active, 90% were girls. Among a gathering of 1000 fans, about 100 were boys. Around when the first cour ended, young women began to gather to the after recording studio. It took until much later for male fans make an uproar, around the time series got canceled. I thought: You’re late to the party!”

"When the movies were screening, we had many male fans who got into Gundam via Gunpla come to see it. Meanwhile, the girls who had been fans since the TV series aired got together to create their own world via fanzines. The fans, never interacting with each other, existed on separate planes."

They can ruin by getting feminists in the scene and feminists in Japan.

Cute girls ain't landwhales, get out of here.

>>14719484
Well fuck Tomino?

I like the guy but it's the Bandai execs who created the Gunpla scene, not him.

>>14719484
literally no source

>>14719485
none of the girls posted were landwhales, they were at the very least fuckable. you're reaching so hard here mate. Japan will never give a shit about american feminism.

Guys, stop responding. This shitposter killed an entire thread with the exact same topic like a week ago. Nobody cares if you have a cock or a cunt.

>>14719481
>oh fuck they found me out, better post my last ditch reaction image!

>>14719484
Even if this is a quote from tomino, even if it's real, he doesn't seem to understand that a small population of women that were nearby the studio doesn't represent the fans of the series and franchise as a whole. I doubt kids anyone that was under 18 could even make it to these movies, at least the ones where tomino was hanging out. It's a biased sample of population.

>>14719493
Sure but according to tomino chicks were the original fans and kept it going. gunpla happened after. We might not even have gunpla without those female fans. the true fans

>>14719504
>Shit, I made no argument, better strawman muh feminist boogiemen and tell them to leave!

I'm glad pukes like you aren't capable of reproducing

@14719509
>calls me a retard for not believing you
>only now posts source

>>14719507
They were the only fans at the time numbnuts. he considers them the real fans of the franchise. He recognises that a healthy franchise is built by women and men

>>14719484

>video games were cool before women invaded that hobby
>now the same troupe of strong independent womyn is roaming around every TV series, movies and games shoving down your throat

Literally fuck off you attention whore

I couldn't give a shit if there's girls who do gunpla like Prime92, my beef is with people who need to think their dumb fucking face needs to fill half the shot. This is a gunpla general, why do you think I care what your face looks like? Man or woman, if you put your face in a photo showing off your model you're just doing it for attention. No better than a tripfag.

>>14719515
>hole

>>14719522
dont blame women for these AAA developers putting out the same shit every year half finished or indie devs pushing out some nintenyearold shit and calling it art.

>>14719523
Pretty much this. Which is why rrobbert was the best reviewer. I miss his videos.

>>14719522
Clearly there is some secret cabal of new age feminists who run from hobby to hobby strictly to ruin it
>>14719524
Sound argument, grognard
>>14719523
I agree entirely desu

Post fucking kits and stop talking about bitches already. Holy fuck, why do you guys fall for bait so easily?

>>14719521
So you're saying MSG initially only had 1000 fans, and they all came to the movie screening and were mostly women? You're saying that tomino knew exactly who each fan was, despite it being a publicly broadcasted anime that thousands of people could see? You're a fucking idiot, and so is tomino if he considers them "the real fans" because they could come to a fucking venue he was at once over forty years ago.

>>14719523
k so vegeta8259 is a massive attention whore because he shows his face

>>14719536
>implying gunpla isn't a social hobby

>>14719540
Well I suppose some facet of that is true, or else why would you bother starting a youtube channel or entering contests if not for the adoration of your fans?

>>14719539
I'm not saying that, tomino is.
He was there and you weren't, but you have an awful lot to say so who's the idiot now?

>>14719540
He is, but not for putting his face in reviews, which are good. It's the videos where he does unboxings and sits in front a camera and describe his ideas for a build that make him an attention whore.

>>14719549
The one that's using the "one true scotsman" logic to claim something that obviously isn't true, you fucking moron.

>>14719545
but prime 92 gets the all the hate
What's so bad about having girls in this hobby like really? Id watch a girl reviewer if she made good reviews. unlike prime. Being cute would be a bonus. Why is that bad?

>>14719557
prime92 gets hate because his/her reviews fucking suck and his/her mic is like nails on a chalkboard

>>14719451
The Camera?

>gender war faggotry shitposting completely fucks up yet another thread

>>14719564
The green bit over the v-fin, instead of using the green sticker I just painted the clear with a light film of metallic green

if I had more hand dexterity I'd have painted the eyes on too but hey its whatever

>>14719555
I do that and have no views

White men are literally the worst. They want to exclude everybody that doesn't look like them from everything they're involved with.
They don't want women in the workplace
Minorities in their suburbs
Women to vote
Blacks in their schools
Muslims on their planes

And their reasons for all these are flimsy at best.

>>14719557
Prime92 gets hated on because her reviews are fucking awful and while I haven't checked out any of her customs recently she was absolutely horrifying in her painting skills before. She also for some reason tries to talk about lore or setting information for kits forom series she hasn't seen before and doesn't even bother googling for some basic info. Plus the voice modifier is knives-in-the-ear terrible sounding.

Literally all she has going for her is a wide selection.

I wish /m/ had mods. Or at least Janitors.

>>14719589
I agree with all of those things but none of those things have anything to do with her being a woman? yet it comes up all the goddamn time.

>>14719544
That was the first gunpla thread I entered. Good times.

>>14719597
That's because people are shocked to hear she's a girl because of the voice modifier. I don't think I've ever seen people actually hating on her videos for being made by a girl.

>be woman
>4/10 maybe 6 at best
>average as fuck probably just a background character if her HS was an anime
>realised just a few friend orbiters aren't enough
>can't get more through video games now since gamer gurls are everywhere
>can't in anime since there are fujos in that hobby
>discover plastic model building
>shove her average ass face in every picture of her mediocore as fuck builds just to show off that she's a woman with that hobby
>virgins start to orbit her thinking she actually cares about the hobby instead of just attention whoring

if these women actually fucking cared about the hobby they'd shut the fuck up and keep their faces out of pictures, them showing up in 1 ever 2-3 pictures of their "gunpla" is enough to show they aren't here because they care about plastic models
