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

>>14730216
A kit that is almost too good for its price.

>>14730244
The only reason I bought the HG over the MG was because the HG was 10 bucks where I bought it from, and I didn't research the MG to see how good it was.

It really is absurd the difference in quality from HG to MG in general though.

Does anyone know if the High Grade Alex's Chobham Armor will get along with other kits, or does it have pegs that the Alex has holes for or something?

Is there any shame in being an MG oob builder? Every time I plan to paint one of my HGs I get really anxious and don't bother.

>>14730202
>tfw you kinda want to participate but you're shit at painting so you probably won't win

>>14730308
So practice. There will be more contests in the future. There's no rush. Just like regular building, show off what you believe is presentable.

>>14730308

You're doing this hobby for you, not for us. So long as you put a modicum of effort into it no one's going to bitch.

Dalong.
And yes you could put it on something else if you modded them otherwise its unlikely you'll find another suit with the exact same body as Alex.

>tfw stress marks being a bitch
Fuck grey and fuck blue. I did the multiple cuts and everything but these marks seem to be eternal, I tried filing and sanding with low grain sandpaper.

>>14730360

You could try applying a very thin coat of extra thin plastic cement, which will melt the surface and eliminate the stress mark unless shit is really damn stressed.

Oh, and of course I ask my question about spikes just as the last thread ends.
Anyway, anybody have any tips on how to sharpen shoulder spikes?

>>14730397

Use a wheel.

>>14730359
Dalong doesn't have pictures of the insides. The instruction manual helps some, but not as much as that would.

>>14730386
next time look at the instructions on dalong

>>14730360
Drip very hot but not boiling water onto the affected spot. A couple more times to let it absorb the heat should see the stress mark fade away with more passes.

>>14730334
I'm the kind of perfectionist (it's ironic because I'm far from perfect) who'd feel like shit with anything subpar. If my work isn't good enough to win 3rd place, then it probably isn't even good enough to show off in my opinion.

This is probobly my oldest kit I was thinking of Sanding it down and and closeing to seemlines on it but I'm worried I assembled it to soon and should just leave it as is, What do you think I should do I don't want to end up wrecking it it was one of my first that I made and it has some gauges but I think putty will close them with ease then its just a matter of painting it. I only hand paint and atm the moment all I have to work with is testors so I'm hesitant to even try and primer it as none of my paints are liqueurs

GN Archer lewds please

>>14730533

I think you should just spend 10 bucks and buy a second GM, then do that one right. Then you can have them next to each other like a before/after thing.

>>14730533
>gauges

Baking soda + CA glue trick as an instant gap filler.

>testor paints

Don't do it, it will eat through the plastic easily.

>hand paint

Use reaper or vallejo paints for this purpose.

>>14730544
>buy a second GM

If it really is ten bucks in the guy's area then sure.

>>14730548

HGUC GM is 11 bucks on Amazon from Japan, with >SAL. Or he can get it with Prime in 2 days for 16 dollars. Which is kinda steep for an HG GM but not too bad.

>>14730443
Got confused when assembling one of the GM Sniper II's arms - had to get the polycap out of the forearm, but not the hand doesn't want to stay in the socket. Any suggestions to "tighten" that connection, or should I not even bother?

>>14730554
just wait a week or so. I've seen it at 8 with prime, the low sellers are probably just out of stock atm

>>14730533
Why is the head so high?

>tfw you snap together two pieces that are extremely hard to separate
>Realize that you forgot to put a polycap in
Every time.

>>14730533
Just letting you know, you didn't put the neck polycap in correctly. It shouldn't be that high.

>>14730244
What is masking tape and paint?
I mean, I agree with you, the MG is way better than the HG for the Turn A, but for much different reasons. If your only complaint is about the colors, then you're in the wrong hobby.

The piece won't fold down now, but at least it doesn't look wrong.

Do users normally willing to trade kits?

I'm hoping to either sell off or trade off my MG Sinanju ver ka (don't rail on me for it) for either a MG Hi Nu Gundam ver ka or another MG Sinanju Stein ver ka.

Since all I wanted out of the kit is just the beam rifle. But it's brand new, everything's still in warp.

>>14730941
Zondo Gei, Pez Batara, Divinidad, Cornix, Dictus/Digitus, X-0, Phantom, Desphys.

>>14730280
The chest/backpack, leg, shoulder, and skirt parts are fitted specifically for the Alex's proportions, which compared to other kits has a bit of a squashed down torso segment.
I tried fitting the armor around a GM Command, GM Type C, and GM II, and the only parts that work are the forearm guards.
So if you wanna give your kits some Pop-eye arms, then you can do that.

I decided to order Tamiya modeler's side cutter and modeler's knife and after those arrive I'll start building MG Jesta.

>>14731090
It is Shadow the Hedgehog. In a Call of Duty 4 case. Dunno what to say about that.

So when can we expect the MG Barbatos, hopefully with the hammer included and not in another kit altogether?

>>14731148
Probably never, since Bandai makes a mint on the NG 1/100s already.

>This seems too good to be true

You're still paying middleman mark up. You can just now order it from the bandai website and choose a middle man to order it from instead of just ordering it directly from the middleman's website. Literally nothing that matters has actually changed.

It is. As of right now the only things you can get from it are 5 things, only one of which is p-bandai. Those kits are

>MG RX-78-2 3.0

I've built some with water slides, and somehow it broke too easily after a while. I don't know, maybe I'm doing it wrong. It is a lot easier to put decals in place though.

So is the Thunderbolt Jim the best (HG) GM kit or is there an older kit that's still just as good?

>>14731406
Thunderbolt jim would be pretty good but the shield arms are a solid piece from what i hear.
Haven't built mine yet

Anyone know if you can rejuvenate a gundam panel lining marker? I let my gf borrow mine to panel line her bearguy and she never put the cap back on. Normally I wouldn't sweat a $3 pen, but my local hobby shop closed down and I'll have to wait on shipping for a new one.

First real attempt at a painting project beyond spraying green onto a graze to figure out how an airbrush works. Besides the edgy color scheme based on the Hunter of Black Clothes manga I'm pretty happy with how it turns out. Wish I had taken the time to fix those seam lines though, they look much worse now than they did originally because I had to take the legs apart a time too many during reassembly.

Anyone got any ideas for the guns it comes with? It'd be nice to add some more color to this edgy fuck.

>>14731675
I dig it, anon. I'm creatively bankrupt or I would give you some ideas.

>>14731675
Two tone black and gray is the usual color scheme for guns.

want to start gunpla. Over Flag's both MG and HG looks badass. Do you recommend it for a starter? And want to buy 1 mg, 1 hg and 1 rg or fuck rg s and will get 2 hgs instead. Am I wanting too much or is it enough?

>>14731703
Yeah, but most of the machine is already black and grey so I'm worried it'll look weird if the gun is the same combination. Then again it'd probably look weirder if the gun was suddenly really different.

>>14731725
You can never want too much gunpla.

I've no experience with the Overflags personally, but you can't go wrong with an MG of the Zaku II 2.0, either MP or Char's custom, and I hear nothing but good things about the Char's Z'gok RG .

>>14731725
There's no MG Flag, so I assume you mean the 1/100?

Anyways, if you're just starting out, I wouldn't recommend the HG Flag; it's pretty flimsy and doesn't have great articulation, which could be pretty frustrating for a beginner. If you want to get an HG that's Flag-like, I had pretty good experience building the Braves because they feel far more sturdy than the Over Flag. Otherwise, I've heard that the 1/100 Flag is pretty good, though I've never built it, myself.

>>14731767
The Gouf Revive is a great kit. so is the Gouf Custom. HGs, of course.

Just be warned, if you pick up the MG Gouf Custom, the weight of its shield gatling is too heavy for the arm to support on its own, so you'll need to brace it against something or support it with something like a figma stand or something.

Otherwise, if you try and put it in a pose like pic related, eventually the gun will droop down.

>>14731787

The HG Gouf Custom has the same problems, IIRC.

>>14731802
Not really. The polycap in the shoulder has a little shelf, and the connector in the arm has a ledge. The ledge sits on the shelf and supports the extended arm. Plus the shield gatling isn't as heavy as the MG version.

>>14730941
Kits for the Batara and X-0 are guaranteed, and we may end up actually getting kits for the Den'an Zon/Gei. Quavarze and Vagon would be cool to see, but I dout they could get their transformations to look stable/good

>>14731619
Digging the blue visor. Nice work

>>14731914
Yeah, it turned out a lot nice than I thought. Basically just took a clear runner, cut a piece of the rectangle label part, and cut and sanded it flat and into shape then dipped it in future to hide the scratches before painting it with clear paint.

Got the idea after someone posted someone on a japanese blog doing something similar.

It's a sign to stop being a snapfag and start painting your kits.

>>14732334
Not him, but I've painted a few kits, and I don't feel the need to panel line after wards. Honestly, the paint seems to bring details out a lot better than unpainted kits. So, I save panel lining for unpainted kits.

>>14732320
The problem with local stores around the world is they usually aren't well stocked unless they are well know.
In my opinion it's best to order from japan but skim local shops and sites for treasures that most people have skipped over.

Usually articulation or if there's a deal going on. The Zaku II 2.0 was my first MG and I was blown away by how sturdy and flexible it was.
Qubeley MK II isn't anywhere near as limber, but it was going for cheap and I liked the Puru decal.

>>14732809
Really depends on how much you buy at a time. 4 HGs will cost about 2000 yen to Toronto, so if you're buying more than that, you'll hobbywave will probably be the cheaper option. Plus, he only asked about shipping.

>>14732845
I just bought 4 HGs and got quoted at 1780 yen for shipping, if you care about actual numbers.

>>14732845
not my problem if you're not buying in bulk from HLJ man

>>14732854
I got quoted for 1980 to be exact, but if you get some of the larger HGs (eg. Rezel Type C, FA Unicorn DM, etc.) it'll definitely be more.

>>14733008

It's amazing.

>>14733026
>That visibly rough surface texture

Wherever it is you're painting it's too humid. You're getting water moisture in the air mixed into the spray.

>>14733033

How humid is too humid? Above 50%?

>>14733036
It should say on the side of the can.

>>14733047
Well at least it wasn't a big project and I can definitely learn from my mistakes.

>>14733026
Finally some O Gundam love. Definitely one of my favorite HGs. Like the color scheme but as the other anon said you gotta watch that humidity. I live in Louisiana so painting outside is nigh impossible. Consider making a spray booth like I am if you live in Hell's moist taint like I do

>>14733070
Hot California day though, I didn't take Humidity into consideration but I definitely will from now on, any helpful spray booth set up suggestions?

>>14733077
I don't really have any useful schematics but if you since you don't live in an apartment it's a bit easier for you. All I know is that the basics of the booth consist of a filter that catches stray paint over a fan that leads to a sealed passage way for fumes to exit the building so you don't get super cancer and die twice over. Someone else here might be more suited to help with those specifics

I'm late to the party. This was the first thing that came to my head and for some reason I was thinking of the NEVEC divers from Lost Planet 2. Contrast colours are good, but realistically for military divers you'd keep it to a few details here and there. That being said, I think a dark blue scheme is what most screams aquatic MS, given the technicolour madness of 0079's aquatic suits is more a product of the 70s/80s than actual common sense.

So iv'e about fucking had it with this custom zaku shit ive been trying to do. It seems like not matter how I spray, the coat always gets bubbly. This one fucking piece..... Ive had to strip it and respray it about 4 times now. This coat specifically seemed to have gone on too thick. The last coat on it wasnt bubbly so much a fuzzy. The pieces next to it are alright, but I cant seem to get any consistency in the coat to save my life.

I'm beginning to think perhaps using Zgock as a tester for my paint was a bad idea I tried "Priming" As the hobby shop owner suggested however I well the results speak for them selves. Oh and ham fingers managed to brake both the left arm and leg The three Colors I tried were Flat White Flat black and flat grey What I didn't realise at the time was while the Shop owner insisted that the flats were Primers, They were not liqueurs so ya I haven't tried painting sense because I lack Real primers also apparently all my testors is useless because I'm trying to hand paint.

Might try doing magnets in the legs with putty I have been watching tutorials on youtube and it seems really easy. What do you guys think I have tried Repairing these Joints multiple times but I just think I will keep braking more of them the longer I try to "Fix" them.

>>14733945
I've got the quanta built, once I finish the decals it's on to the zaku then the mk2. Gotta get the zaku in there for solidarity. SIEG Zeon mother fuckers

>>14733954
First off Primer is essential in all circumstances, don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise

Second if that's the HGUC Z'Gok that kit is fragile as shit in those arm joints from personal experience (Same shit happened to me when I tried taking it apart to do a custom ages ago)

>>14733954
Yeah, magnets with putty seems like it'd be the way to go (I'm assuming you've tried using plastic cement and letting them sit for a few days). Also, if you got Testors enamels, you can hand brush them and get decent results, although I did find them a pain to work with. Also, be sure to pick up some mineral spirits for thinning/ brush cleaning (or you could pick up their own thinner for thinning. Up to you).

Post zacks

I'm still kinda new to the hobby, but i'd like to paint my kits at least some time
Would just buying the spray can and using it be sufficient for the time being or am I better saving for an airbrush and compressor?

so my hobby shop is a train hobby shop the owner doesn't exactly miss lead me on purpose but he tends to suggest things and I agree that it makes sense how does this plastic cement work is it like Epoxy putty? I've asked the gentlemen and he doesn't really know him self he has been quite nice to me sense I'm the only one of his customers currently buying paints.

My 2 cents.

Spray Cans are easy but offer little control. But there's ways of doing pre and post shading without air brushes. Cheaper than getting an airbrush and compressor. So if you want to paint a few models that's a good option.

Airbrushs are far better, but more expensive. But also much more expensive. But once you have it, paint is pretty cheap. You also now are able to shade, control pressure and mix your paints for the right color.

Also usually if you have an airbrush you'll probably want to build a booth. A lot of people with cans just go outside and spray.

See if a hobby shop around you has booths. What I did was buy a cheap ($30) airbrush and I go to my local hobby shop and use their compressors and spray booths. That way I don't have to worry about getting my little apartment dirty.
Only real downside is the hourly cost, and the fact that I have to lug my stuff there. But my place I can keep my kits there over night.

Testors is flat-out shit. You'll need to dunk your parts in Purple Power to clean it all off.

But since it's Testors enamel, the plastic parts have probably been damaged chemically and are now brittle.

>Buying tube glue

nonononononono stop, you want a bottle of glue like this for precision application

>>14734079
>Is it like expoxy putty.

Not at all, it's not cement like the building material, it's cement as in it cements pieces together like glue. It comes in liquid and gel form (the tube in your pic is gel). It melt plastics (mostly styrene) at the area of contact so when you press the two parts together and it dries the pieces are now fused to each other.

Its used for glueing parts together and erasing seam lines.

Lighter fluid and qtips seem to do an ok job of striping it. Well... good thing I bought 2 just in case of massive fuck ups. Iv'e been using testors just because its what the local hobby store has.

A quick phone pic, I've been working on this guy pretty much all day since it's the only day I have off for a week. It's actually a really fun build, and really solid compared to my other RGs.

>>14734389
>/tg/ here, what games do you recommend for fighting with your gunpla?
I was actually just thinking of a concept for a Tabletop system for Gunpla Battle...

While you can always stat them for Brikwars, it will always have a bias towards Master Grade and larger scales simply due to the system's use of body size when it comes to the size of the weapons you can use in a single turn.

Instead, I'm thinking of something based around a set amount of "Plavsky Points" each player distributes to their Gunpla's various Attributes and Weapons, maybe a pool of dice like my ideas for making Mobile Frame Zero less of a cluster-fuck.

>>14734917
I think one of the hardest things would be determining mobility. Do you paint it with wide strokes? Do you try to finetune it to give units with slightly more output higher initiative? And what do you do when you can't find proper data on the unit since unlike say Battletech, I don't think there are TROs for Gundams.

>>14734917
>>14734963
its would be comlicated to balance but this is just a general idea. you have 1 master grade to be your "ace" that gives buffs and gets a general debuff when destroyed.

you could build around heavies which would be full armor ms and shit like that. and small suits being quick and move around the board. and the weapons and such attached to them giving stats and such while adding a "weight" to the suit, controling how fast they could move around the board. yould have to make a chart with each kits basic mobility and weight.

while depending on the board setting being space, water, and land that all have different attributes

>>14734980
>MG ace
You really shouldn't mix scales on a tabletop, unless you're going for an Ein's Graze kind of affair.
As far as "heavies" go, the Full Armor frames seem to be pretty fast too (just look at Io Fleming's FA-78)
Even bulky units like the Gusion and the Man Rodi aren't THAT slow, and if they jettisoned their heavy armor (Gusion Rebake) they'd be just as fast as their lightly armored counterparts so Gundam mobility is pretty fluid and hard to pin down. All I can see for truly determining speed is if a unit gets an output listed (The RX-78-2 gets 1380 kW, making it faster than an RGM-79 GM at 1250 kW.) Not all units have listed outputs though, I have no idea how many kW the Barbatos puts out with its dual Ahab reactors (although it is explicitly mentioned it was built for agility.) But there's the question- what's faster, a Man Rodi without any armor or a Graze? A Zaku II or a GM Command?
The second movement issue is Space vs Ground. On ground the weight of a unit is important since you have to deal with Gravity, but in space thrust will quickly overcome weight. Our Gundam Gusion does well in space and is actually decently mobile, but the second you drop it into an atmosphere it'll collapse under its heavy armor and be inoperable.

Makes you wish Bandai would have paid some attention to the possibility of tabletop Gundam, doesn't it?

>>14735028
>gravity
I probably should've at least added Air Resistance to that list, actually. Probably far more of a concern than gravity, and factoring in how much air resistance a frame has would be a massive pain in the ass.

>>14735028
were are going to have to disregard actual preformance if you want to balance a game. otherwise youd just have full armor gundam, psycho zaku, and unicorn etc. just soloing the game. like i mentioned with the chart, your going to have to take a kit and decide what it does.

>>14735055
or just have gms and other mass produced suits be the bulk and only allowing one sazabi, gundam, whatever else.

>>14735055
Funnels would demolish any fun that could be had.

>>14735066
I'd go with this, each unit has a cost.
You want an FA-78 Full Armor Gundam? Here you go. The other guy has a whole bunch of Zakus for that same cost, and unlike the animated series where everyone jobs to the protag the Zakus can actually scratch your paintjob in tabletop.

>>14735079
funnels could be a fun game play element, spreading small hp units to distract the enemy, just nerf their damage.

>>14734963
>I think one of the hardest things would be determining mobility. Do you paint it with wide strokes? Do you try to finetune it to give units with slightly more output higher initiative?
I'd say broad strokes, Gunpla is FREEDOM after all.
Mostly, Mobility would be one of the Core Attributes, you could put all your Plavsky Points/Dice into it and just tear ass across a Battlefield.

Thursters and other "High Mobility" parts could act as static modifiers, with the caveat that they could be specifically targeted to be destroyed/removed.

>>14734980
>you could build around heavies which would be full armor ms and shit like that. and small suits being quick and move around the board. and the weapons and such attached to them giving stats and such while adding a "weight" to the suit, controling how fast they could move around the board.
Larger Weapons or Defensive Parts could bring static Mobility or "Evasiveness" minuses, but would of course have their own bonuses.

For Weapons, I'm thinking they'd have different properties based on their type:

Close Combat - Plays directly off the "Physical Power" attribute, which would otherwise be a suits "Unarmed Attack," give modifiers or even MULTIPLIERS to the attack, but the weapon in question has to physically touch the opposing model.

Ballistic - Huge Static Modifiers to Ranged Attack Damage or "Tracking," but have a low maximum cap on the amount of Plavsky Points/Dice you can pump into them for extra damage.

Beam Guns - Kinda the opposite of Ballistics, you can pump ALL of your Plavsky budget into them, but they generally have low Modifiers. Might have a special Anti-defense property though.

Missiles - Static Damage and Tracking Dice you don't need to use Plavsky on, but you've only got a limited amount so make them count. Might also add extra damage to an Enemies Attack if specifically Targeted.

>>14732376
We have his red zaku in hg

>>14735094

Defensive items like Shields or Armor can outright shrug off weaker attacks, but an attack that matches or greatly exceeds it's Damage Rating destroys said item. Thankfully, it also tanks ALL of the Damage from that Attack, leaving the MS otherwise unscathed.

>>14735092
>funnels could be a fun game play element, spreading small hp units to distract the enemy, just nerf their damage.
Well again, this is why I'm thinking a Point Budget based system would be the best:
Funnels, like non-missile weapons, require some of that Mobile Suits' Plavsky Points to fire, but they also need them to Move and/or Evade as well.
While a Funnel will probably have a decent static Evasive bonus due to it's small size, it will still sap Points/Dice from it's mother Suit, so more Funnels or a more powerful Funnel will make the controlling Unit that much weaker.

>>14735094
beam weapons can ignore armor but have low damage.

>>14733256
your girl has a d20 around her neck. You lucky son of a bitch

>>14735130
i was thinking the funnels and whatever counterparts could be apart of the mother mobile suits cost. like if you want a sazabi or a nu gundam, your gonna have to pay up. and restrict the funnels to be within a space radious of the sazabi. or set them as a turret that cannot move. or making the sazabi static while you have free control of funnels. a special gameplay element for the units that have them. we would also have to set "army types" while loose in the suits you can use, theyd have basic rules that they need to follow and a basic strategy and restriction. like feddies can produce more units while zeddies can have more "special suits" but have a smaller general force

>>14735133
>beam weapons can ignore armor but have low damage.
Nah, a lot of famous Beam Weapons are huge Cannons that can pump out a huge amount of damage.
While they have low to non-existent damage modifiers, you could potentially pump your Suits' entire Plavsky Budget into a single shot for the BIG BEAM.
They also might only bypass a Defensive items' ability to tank an Attack only if they had a greater amount of Plavsky Points put into them than the Target did for their Defense.

we are actually coming up for this gunpla table top boys. if we could actually organize a group to bring it together, we could make something really cool.
