***Graze Group Build***
Rules:
Pick any 1/144 or 1/100 kit from the Graze family (Pic Related), and paint and customize it. As far as customizing it, I'm going to place a limit on that. The limit is 50% additions to the kit.
To define 50%, look at it like this, you could take a Graze Ritter and replace the arms (including shoulders), legs, and backpack and I'd call that 50%. I'm not counting handheld bits in that. If you're unsure of something please ask in IRC, the thread, or email.

Start Date: 12/1/16
Due Date: 2/1/17

Submission format
Please submit photos in jpg via a compressed file (zip, rar, or 7zip), please don't link images to imgur or photobucket or the like. Please also include some WIP photos of the kits being constructed/painted/etc as validation that it's your custom.

What.
>We're working on making the board better so we don't end up with the last groupbuild for every single group build.
For one that's gibberish, for two that ignores the /toy/ thread.
>See, a lot of people like to parrot "read the guide" but I think a few people actually follow what it says, that's just by judging the last groupbuild.
No shit a few people follow what it says. Most people follow what it says. That's because they're not daft.
>A lot of people like to keep /m/ as their little hugbox, a place where they feel in charge.
That's what personal forums are for. I'm not willing to believe people are that daft, even with all the stupid shit I've seen.
>We trips don't care about anonymity because we can respond when called out on something.
Anyone can respond when called out on something. I'd be able to do that if you didn't have your trip on. That's what replies are for.
>These people are afraid, because we basically do whatever we want by upsetting the status quo set up by these individuals.
What individuals? Do you even know where you are?
>The real shitposters are the dum-dums who spam every general with image dumps and then blame us with the excuse that we take off our trips when we have no real reason to.

its actually two tones of green. Medium for the body and SAC bomber green for the rest of the body.

Literary all of my kits are a variety of different military greens, greys or earthly tones. I'm not into flashy looking schemes, really.

Finished my blue GM. Wanted to make a friend for my red one. I love the beam swrod design, cause its not just a flat pice of plastic, but also im ass at painting it. Tried to layer a red/matallice red/ and transparent purple. It looks more like a red hot stick than a beam saber, but oh well. Over all a solid kit. Would recommend for beginners.

took a slightly better pic which makes the contrast in tones more easily distinguishable. the Dom II behind it however was painted in dark green and Olive drab so the shitty resolution really makes it difficult to spot the differences.

The bright yellow markings on the Dom where intentional. Back in WWII the Germans painted bright yellow stripes on the tails and wing tips of their aircraft to aid in identification.

So now with the zaku, SD burning and the two GMs done, this is whats left of the backlog. Both have lots of runners and will be a much bigger project than any of the previous stuff I've done, aside from the zoid. And that took me fucking forever to do. If I do the gouf, I think I might want to paint it. Idk what colors though.

>We're working on making the board better

No

No you're not. Honestly I don't think you're that bad of a guy but the fact you're buddies with that autismo snapfit really shits on any sort of positive reputation you could have. And snapfit is doing nothing to improve the thread and this board, Posting/reposting pictures of nubby OOB builds when the gunpla thread gets slow doesn't help at all; and the threads he makes outside of the gunpla thread are consistently garbage. For example making a thread and just posting "xyz series is shit" is not a way to "make the board better", it's a way to start a shit show. And why do you give a fuck about this thread's groupbuild? You didn't participate in the last one as far as I know, and based on your distaste you have already shown for the Graze and it's variants, I would think you won't be participating in this one either.

The gunpla thread can be pretty slow sometimes, as well as /m/ as a whole; just accept it. Two obnoxious tripfags aren't going to change that, especially when you wear that trip like a badge of honor, holy shit get the fuck over yourself.

Also I thought /toy/ was the hugbox? But I guess by that logic, anywhere that doesn't put up with snapshits bullshit is a hugbox, or at least your definition of what a hugbox is. Bottom line though, if you don't like it, fucking leave; nobody is forcing you to be here, there are a multitude of other websites on the internet where you can go to discuss/post pictures of gunpla. Maybe rather than "fighting the good fight to make this board better" you can find somewhere else where no one gives either of you any shit and you can just enjoy yourselves. But hey, let's be serious, we both know you and snapfit won't do that though because you like being special snowflakes here.

Almost forgot, here's your (you)

>>14972056
It's a meme
Hlj is my go to place for ordering

SAL does take forever and it makes anyone anxious waiting two months or so for a package without knowing where it is and when it'll get to you, but i've never had a package go missing.

SAL is slow as fuck though. Although I kind of enjoy it if it's something I'm not in a rush to get. It takes so long taht I completely forget about it and then one day I'm randomly greeted by a pleasant surprise that i totally forgot about.

>>14972056
HLJ is reliable enough. Sure prices might be a little higher than other sites but they are guaranteed to deliver. SAL is your usual 15 days affair if you live in the US but whenever I buy through them I always ship via FedEx because it only takes those guys like six days at most.

>>14972056
I love HLJ. I've done a lot of business with them and the Private Warehouse function allows me to save on shipping since I do a lot of impulse buying.

When in doubt go for neutral tones. you'd be surprised how much better certain kits look in greys.

So I've always thought it would be cool to do an alt history nazi zaku complete with ss bolts and swastika decals. But I have 2 questions.
1. Would it be offensive/in poor taste.
2. Witch zaku would look the best done in thta style?

>>14972068
is that time any different if i live in canuck land?

>>14972128
1. Zakus and Zeon are inspired partially by Nazis (and Imperial
Japan who were allies to nazis) anyways. Not particularly far off.
2. Geara Zulu is very Nazi-es que
3. So is the alternate head for the Zaku FZ from WITP.

2> Geara Zulu

>>14972128
1. i think it would look really cool, but its all up to you
2. choose a zaku with a german looking helmet with it (dont know what they're called), like zaku kai/fz, geara doga, and gear zulu. check dalong to see what they look like/quality, havent built them myself

>>14972128
In my personal opinion it would look better with iron crosses over swastikas

>>14972128
>>14972154
this desu

>>14972154
Iron crosses is more associated with the Wehrmacht IIRC so it looks more military.

It's the diff between putting the USAF star and the Democrat donkey on a machine.

>>14972056
>how terrible SAL is
Not at all. If you live in Western Europe it will, at the max, take like 2 - 3.5 weeks. If you have registered SAL you won't even have to worry about where your package is, and you can even track it with your local postal service (postnl here in the Netherlands) to see exactly when your package gets delivered. Some countries have import taxes and shit on other types of shipping, so I tend to stick to SAL, registered or unregistered if I want to save a few europlops.

>>14972173
its not difficult to simply use the water mark decals of German tanks or aircraft. Using an stencil to draw Swastikas and SS runes on the other hand is a little more labor intensive.

>>14972199
Agreed. Also, if you're the guy posting military scheme MSes, I just want to say that I like how they come off.

>tfw you built the RE/100 GP04 and are happy with it but you like the design so much you want to get another one

It got me back into gunpla modelling. I love it.

>>14972173
I never actually thought about it that way. You never really did see tanks and shit with swastikas on them. You did see them on some ships though.....maybe they would look more appropriate on an aquatic suit like a zgok or somthing?

>>14972218
The thing about German WWII patterns is that there's several hundreds of variants you could try. While tanks rarely where painted with Swastikas all of their aircraft had them painted on their tails.

>>14972218
The only example I can think of for ships is a bigass swastika on the main deck of the Bismarck or some other large German vessel. Probably because a black symbol on a white background is pretty much "I AM A HUGE TARGET PLEASE RAPE MY FACE" visibility-wise.

The whole ' beauty' of German patterns is that they never really standardized any particular patterns aside from the theatre markings ( the bands of different colors near the end of the tails for example) Yellow was used to identify planes operating in the Eastern front, White for Africa and the Mediterranean and some units used on the defense of the Reich had red bands.

>>14972218
Iirc the Germans did use swastikas on captured tanks to help with identification. So should you want to do the same thing with a GM or something feddie at some point that might be when you want to.

Also see image related.

>>14972067

There prices are only like a dollar or two higher than amiami, which is one of the cheapest places to order from. But the real reason to use them is the private warehouse feature. It also looks like they are adding a point system for further discounts and they have sales several times a year to clear out inventory which can be a good chance to pick up kits cheap.

The only real negative is that since everyone uses them it can be hard to find what you want in stock. Especially right after Christmas.

I'm looking for some good HGs that I can put in my shopping backlog so the next time I go to buy an MG and want to round out the cart a bit more, I already have some shit ready.
How's the G30 RX-78 that comes with the panel line marker? Obviously articulation won't be as good as the revive and the beam saber isn't colored, but it looks aesthetically more pleasing than the revive in my opinion and has some extra shit like the F R E E gundam marker.
Also what are some solid HGs in general?

>>14972507
HGs are overall pretty solid when it comes to quality across the board. Just go for what you like/ is currently in stock.

Personally speaking I like to keep the Monoeye/ Feddie MS ratio as close to 50/50 as I can but that's me.

>>14972507
The G30th's pretty nice. All the panel lines really help break up the large sections of white on the arms and legs, and the fact that it comes with a Gundam Hammer is pretty neat.

HLJ has their winter sale up, but in my opinion the deals are pretty shit. It's like 300 yen off what they normally ask for. Not worth the shipping hike in my opinion.

What >>14973173 said
The way the rule works is any alteration you make that doesn't come from graze is counted toward the number, speaking purely technically you actually wouldn't be making an alteration. However, if you replaced graze arms with AGE Titus arms you could say that's about ~15% change. If your entire kit is graze parts that you modify you never even really touch the alteration percent, but if you replace 50% of it with non-graze parts you tap it out.
How exactly that number gets metered out is where it gets nutty though, because it's not like we go from part count so what I use as a guide is arms 20, legs 20, upper body 20, lower body 20, head 20. Since it's a graze though, if I was only modifying the chest with non-graze parts I'd say that would be 10 if it was just a frame modification. Obviously if you only change one arm or leg the number would be halved as well

Not from the mouth of god though so ultimately the final rending is up to Groupbuild guy

>>14973231
Basically just don't slap a graze head on an entirely different kit and call it a graze and you should be fine. As long as it is clearly still based on a graze I don't think anyone will care too much.

>>14973231
Since we're talking about it now, I was wondering if mine is over 50%

The only parts I replaced from the Graze are the shoulder armor, lower legs, feet and front skirt armor
The rest is still graze, but with bits and pieces from other kits slapped on all over it.
Since they're still Graze parts but with extra armor and bits added on to it, I'm wondering how much it adds onto the 50% rule. I feel like I may have gotten a little too carried away with slapping bits of plastic on it, but at this point I'm not sure what I'd want taken away since I'm pretty satisfied with how it looks.

>>14973249
Post pics, and honestly I don't think people are going to be too anal about the 50% rule. It's carried over from /toy/'s gm build and is mostly just in place to keep people from slapping a single gm part onto a kit and calling it a gm.

>>14973231
>>14973249
Adding bits and pieces to the already existing Graze frame/armor doesn't count towards the 50%. It only really counts if you replace whole limbs or the torso.

>>14973331 is perfectly fine for example, since it still has the Graze aesthetic from a small distance. Since you swapped out the lower legs and the shoulders, that'd be like 30% going off of pic related. Things like the torso/skirt mods wouldn't count since you're working off of the base Graze kit.

>>14972672
That's actually a really good idea. What would be a good soviet suit? Im thinking something mass produced because communism(eeewww) I have a guntank on the way, maybe that? Iv'e herd people talk about soviet tanks being a big deal. Idk if that's because they were good or bad though.

I need a site where I can download stock pictures of Gundam model kits. I'm creating a site in Wordpress for a college assignment. It's an e-commerce site for Gundam model kits. If any of you know good sites where I can download a bunch of model kit pictures, preferably not fanmade. Would be greatly appreciated.

>>14973333
As confusing as it is, alclads paints (except gloss black) are lacquer but their klear kotes (except for aqua gloss) are actually enamel based (as I found to my horror upon trying to do an enamel wash on their regular gloss). The line itself is called "Alclad II Lacquer". The klears are enamel so they don't fuck up the lacquer paints.

Thanks anon. The shoulders, lower legs, weapons and all the edgy pointy bits are from two Age 1 Razor packs, with bits from Amazing Exia sprinkled here and there. The booster is the schwalbe graze backpack with part of the amazing exia backpack placed over it, and builders part verniers added onto them.

I thought it might be Razor, especially since it was completely white, but I thought it might have also been the Northern Weapon Pod or some other thing from the HGBC line.

Any Flip /gunpla/ anons here? What are some cheap acrylics for handpainting?

>>14973662

You want to use enamels for hand painting. But if you insist, I would use Tamiya brand.

Is there any /m/ gunpla chat outside of IRC?

>>14973685
This thread. We don't really need a discord or something similar, and ones we've tried before have gone to shit real quick and dried up. They're redundant.

>>14973692
Fair enough. How active is the IRC?

Does anyone have an AG kits? I know they're really basic and have like no movable joints but something about the really basic looks and colors and pieces speaks to me. I'm specifically thinking about getting a Genoace or something. I was thinking it might be a nice start for painting a kit too.

>>14973712
My sibling has two. I mean, they are really basic and have next to no articulation (the elbows and knees don't even break), but they probably would be good painting practice I guess.

>>14973712

From what I've heard, they really aren't worth it.

If you're lucky, you'll find them for really cheap but they're usually priced only slightly cheaper than their HG counterparts due to including some gimmick meant for a game with the kit.

If you want something blocky and basic to practice painting, older NG kits might be worth a look.

>>14973675 doesn't know what he's talking about. Tamiya paints are good, but can be a pain to work with for handbrushing since they dry faster compared to other acrylics (this leads to more obvious brush strokes). Vallejo are what you want to work with if you're hand painting acrylics

Seconding this anon. Most Tamiya paints are meant for airbrushing. They're Acrylic LACQUER paints. I'd go with Vallejo or Citadel. Vallejo's cheaper, has better bottles, and is almost as good.

Gonna have to agree with you on tamiya acrylics. Their good paint and have solid hues but the fact that they dry so quickly you have to find a new way to pace yourself.

Heres a crappy pic of my rx-78 zeon gundam.
Theres only a few places of paint I really like, the rest is just sloppy looking but I guess it almost passes as battle damage

>>14974185
Actually tamiya can be thinned with either lacquer or alcohol. Both aren't good for handbrushing though.

>>14974215
how are testors acrylic/enamels, they ok for hand painting?

Does anybody have the HG geara doga? Is it one of the better HGs? Or is it not very good? I know HGs vary wildly

I realize I'm way late to the party, but I did something similar to this to spice up one of my older kits.
It's a Zaku FZ with some decals off a sheet of 1-72 scale luftwaffe waterslides. The decal scale is just on the verge of too big for HG and too small for MG, so they only kind of work for both scales.

When spring comes, I am planing to paint the upper portion of the shoulder-shield in yellow since an MS would be more concerned with being identified by friendly air, rather than ground support. Much like german tankers would drape the reich's flag over the top of their hull for the same purpose.

1/72 VF kits use Action Base 01's, they come with adaptors to mount them properly.

It depends on the color and how big of a surface you want to paint. By and large Testors enamels hand paint acceptably except for white, red, and orange. Their line of flats hand paint probably the best of all their colors except for silver.

Testors acrylics I don't have as much experience with, but I can testify that their flat black acrylic is some of the best, easiest paint to apply to large surfaces I've ever used. On the minus side, it's flat black.

P-Bandai, short for Premium Bandai Webshop is a market place platform created to allow different Namco-Bandai companies and their subsidiaries the ability to sell directly to the end consumer. Originally a Japan region e-commerce solution, it has since expanded to other countries such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, with other satellite fronts planned and also international delivery services through contracted intermediaries.

Items within the P-Bandai stores can range from small production to open market items and are limited by production number and license viability for region.

hardware store sprays depend a lot on the specific brand. Most of what youll generally find at a hobby store in terms of sprays is testors and 'model masters' witch I think is also from testors. If you go with them, I recommend sticking to their flats and metallics. Just don't expect any consistency in terms of spray thickness. Ive used them a lot and have had several issues. Sometimes you just get a bad can and it wont stick to shit no matter what you do. Now I cant speak for their PAINT, but Tyiama primer is VERY nice. The spray is a fine mist, kinda like the mist setting on a garden hose. And is hard to fuck up in terms of using to much, just because it goes on so light. I would assume their paint is similar. Good luck finding it in a store though. Mine only sells their primer. I want to switch over to using them, but I need to find a decent place to order it from.

So how ridiculous would the pricing be if Bandai ran every piece under a painter that'd paint all the decals and color separation onto the piece?

Maybe you're confusing me with another anon? I don't really post here often lol. This build took about 3 weeks

You're a retard, it won't look anything near high quality. There's a reason people use modeling paints, they work well. Other shit won't.

What is it with people choosing damn hard kits for their firsts (=w=") (relatively speaking). I'd recommend putting this one in the back-burner till you've got a little more experience under the belt.

>>14975009
Just buy an easier to build kit before doing this one.

I'll probably get one of the pic related as a guinea pig before I fuck up the full armor. Thanks a lot for the input guys.

I'd buy it over the Laevateinn.

A simple 1/100 kit as IBO kits would have been good enough for beginners.
They're easy to build in every way and the pieces are bigger than HGs so easier to deal with.

So I've noticed in all the reviews of the re/100 Bawoo that its toes are never pointed down when it's in a flying pose. However, they clearly point down if you deform the ankle like pic related. I'm guessing its impossible otherwise and people don't do pic related in ms mode because it's not canonically supposed to do so or something. I already ordered mine because it looks super dope otherwise, I was wondering if anyone could confirm.

>>14976083
We haven't even hit 300 posts yet or dropped below the first several pages. We have another day or so until we need a new thread.

do you guys know any stores or sites that sell separate runners or polycaps?

I'm needing some to repair an old gunpla I have, the caps are worn out

Are there sticker reference sheets available somewhere? I can't find any in the manual of the Zeta Plus A1 and I can't find a place for all the stickers based on the images of the finished kit.

>>14975961

no

>Honestly, I just fell in love with the damn brick as soon as I saw it.

gotta admit you're right in there. I almost spent all my money buying that kit, but decided to buy some zakus and z'goks instead
was too afraid of getting him badly built.

I'm definitely buying FA thunderbolt and/or psycho zaku MGs as soon as my current order arrives
(or maybe I should get hi-nu?)

What's your BIGGEST SHAME lads.

Okay anon, I'm going to share a secret with you, a secret method for tightening worbn down joints. Just telling you this could have me expelled from the knights of Pledge .

There exists a secret product, a simple gloss varnish used for floors called "Pledge with Future". Simply coat the plastic parts of the kit the polycap comes into contact with. The balljoints, pegs, and holes, but not the polycaps themselves because the varnish won't stick well and will rub off easily.

Then let the parts sit for 2-3 days and the joints will magically be tighter.

>>14976381
yeah i still dont have one either

i was gonna get one on banzai hobby but they sold out :(

>>14976381
my biggest shame is accidentally breaking the waist piece on my Jesta (my first kit) and then i thought i could use it as custom parts but ruined some pieces while trying to pry them apart.

I sometimes sorta sympathize with image spammer and wish this shithole could die so i can be finally free from here.

i also bought a chink bootleg strike freedom out of curiosity, shit was so bad, loose leg pegs cant even stand, i lit it on fire and enjoyed watching it melt

>>14976411
This. I thought about picking up the Revive but I already have so many Gundams it'd just blend into the background. Maybe the MG 3.0 once I can thin down my backlog, as the statue is pretty cool.

>don't use flash

I don't like this advice. what this should have said is: bounce the light from your flash using foil or white paper, diffuse your flash by putting white paper (or whatever, experiment with materials!) in front of it. Use aluminum foil or even white paper to reflect flash from the other side of the figure. Or use a combination of flash and ambient lighting by using slow-sync flash.

I really should get some better lamps in here. Also doesn't help that the sun is down almost 24/7 here now that it's winter.

>>14976544
Or get a tripod and prepare for half a minute long exposure times.

>>14976549
Alternatively, jack up the ISO and enjoy your artifacts.

22. She's been saying she'll start going to the gym soon so that might help. She looks like she could have a nice face, but all the weight she's gained kind of buried that. I feel ashamed for being so shallow, though. She's very caring and supportive and a good person, but... her face.

>>14976516
She keeps telling me about how I'm such a nice guy and how I'm not like all the shitty, shallow guys that made her really depressed before. Makes me feel too bad to just say it.

Man, owner of the hobby shop I go to was right, I really should just focus on model kits instead of girls.

>>14976546
I feel you, my pictures always come out yellowish too. Its probably the types of bulb we're using. Kudos though, thats a better picture than I could ever take.

Try lowering the temperature of the photo, it'll balance the yellow to a white. Most editing software has the option, including smartphone apps.

didn't resize it on purpose, so you can see the clean work that I did with those nubs. I feel like a knife pro.

I bought it several years ago and kept meaning to use it on my gunpla but I was afraid of fucking up.

So it just languished in a corner of my storeroom and I even lent it to my friends, though I never used it myself.

I'm not even sure where it is now.

>>14976587

I spent well over $50 replacing every light bulbs in my room with cool-white LED bulbs because I couldn't stand how shit all of my gunpla looked with yellow-cast incandescents.

I use a lamp normally and my ceiling light is a UV light, so when I feel like it I can experience the exhilarating feeling of glowing Gunpla

>>14976694
does that have any health hazard when you get exposed on UV rays?

>>14976781
I don't stay under it for extended periods of time, perhaps half-an-hour at most, and you of course need to avoid staring into the lights. Most UV lights sold for domestic use should be fine as long as you don't remain under them for a very long period of time and as long as you don't break them, as a lot of them contain Mercury

>>14976614

Worst thing that can happen.
I broke a PG's hands because of paint and I had to replace them with 1/100 hands.
Now it has cute little hands but at least it feels complete.
Your case is far worse, how did you break them ?
