***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

Good to know you two don't bother reading the OP copy-paste, let alone the guide

How can the rules include not being a faggot when you both use it?

>copies the "there is no gunpla general discord" line in the op
>still posts a "gunpla general discord" post anyway

your continued stupidity is amazing.

Reminder that based Bandai Hobby Division makes their kits in-house using the cutting edge of injection molding tech.

Meanwhile Kotobukiya keeps raising prices for janky engineering and poor quality Chinese plastic.

Man that looks good

Does anyone know where I can download scans of:
- Hobby Japan older issues?
- Gundam Hobby Life (espescially 006)?

Thanks!

>>15052854
I got the Kamiki Burning which I don't know what to do with, never been a huge fan of that one so I've got to think of a neat way to customize it, and the Zaku F2000.
Not a whole lot but I didn't want that many, my backlog is too goddamn big as it is

>>15055591
they're supposed to be there, the third party modelers designed a huge groove to be there to hide the the seamline with their own panel line. they did the same thing on the shoulder missile launchers, sides of the legs and the head too.

>>15055626
ther art doesnt have that plus its not very aesthetically pleasing tbqh

AKO Creation took some creative liberties with the mold to make it easier to manufacture, they were a small company so dont expect fancy technology and sharp casting. the whole thing was molded in fragile grey plastic like a military model and parts go together more like a tank kit than gunpla.

Part of my Christmas haul, a friend bought me the RG Sinanju. I've never thought about the RG kits and am quite intimidated by the thing

>>15055381
What`s the other smaller MS supposed to be? Are they the same scale?

>>15056927
It's the Nero from Gundam Sentinel, you can consider it a high end GM-type. It's in a smaller scale than the GM III next to it.

>>15056959
I was hoping it was some miniature MS...bummer. It looks really cool though.

Now you know how the inner frame detailers feel when they cover it all up with armor parts

>>15057255
when was the last time you detailed an inner frame? when was the last time you detailed anything?

Trying to build a spraybooth that won't blow up in my face. This a good fan for venting it?

My friend got me the Shin Musha Gundam MG 1/100 as a Christmas present. I was not expecting this.

>>15058636
Actually it doesn't even say grade of it but I'm guessing MG.

>>15058637
it says it right on the front of the box.

>>15058666
The box doesn't say anything on it, just 1/100 but nothing denoting HG, MG, or whatever. He ordered it via that Wish app so you're probably right though.

...are you kidding me? Upside down? Here's the corrected version...

>>15059302
needs nub removal and panel lining
its fine for a first kit though

also you a missing 1 beam saber handle

>>15059336
Yeah, I just finished so I decided to take a break before doing any panel lining.

And you're right about nub removal. I tried to get as much of it off as possible, but there's clearly still some left. It helps a lot to see it in a picture like this, where it's way bigger than real life.

I found the saber handle after taking the picture and put it back on, and even redid the photo. I liked the composition of this one better though, so I figured I'd still use it.

>>15059341
What was your removal method?

Tips for painting gunpla? Don't wanna do anything to crazy at first, just wanna make my hg strike really shiny
>pic unrelated sorta

>>15059349
Well, clearly I didn't do much, and I may misunderstand exactly what everyone means by nub removal, but I tried shaving down a lot of them either with the craft knife or with sandpaper, especially with parts that needed to fit tight and which I feared it would get in the way.

Even then, I definitely missed some, and I got better at it as I went along, this still being my first kit ever and all.

>>15052854
Nothing so far. Have to go buy my own haul when the store reopens tomorrow. The new shipment came in on the 23rd, but I haven't had a chance to get in yet and they were closed today. I'll be picking up the RG Build Strike and the HG Vidar and Flauros.

>>15059353
Mmm maybe you didn't shave far enough down then
Also you can cut the middle of the front plateskirt so they move individually and you can cut those tabs off the v-fin

Shopping right now for some new tools. How is the quality for Tamiya and Mr.Hobby tools? I have a pair of nippers from Tamiya that are really good shit, but I've never bought Mr.Hobby before. I'm considering it because they're a little cheaper.
