***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 [tentative]
Submissions go to

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.

>>15098610
Hey, I have a legitimate question. Why ist it after all these years, you don't want to try anything new with your kits? Like panel lining, campaign parts, or kitbashing? Like, what other hobbies do you have?

>>15098667
Fair points in all cases honestly. So why do you show them off despite everyone hating you/your work? Outside G-Reco, which I dislike personally, you seem to have decent taste in suits.

>>15098826
Don't listen to complaints about the rubber. For an older kit, it was the Zaku 2.0 of its time/line. Perfect in every way and won't let you down.

What do you guys think is the best HG Zaku 2? It seems the origin ones are good, but i want a standard color one. Should i just wait until they inevitably release one in that color? Also which one would you guys say is the most anime accurate?.

>>15098962

Well the old HGUC is show accurate, but the downside is its old. Since Zakus sell like hot cakes, a mass production version of the Origin Zaku is inevitable

I finally worked up the courage to try one of my Eva kits that I've been sitting on.
Haven't done the waterslides or topcoated yet, but I'm really impressed with how well the stickers and panel lining made this thing look.
For those who are curious, LMHG models like these are much closer to MG kits in size and part count.
I had to do quite a lot of de-nubbing on this one, and there are some imperfections in some of the larger pieces.
I'm not going to paint this one because I have an identical kit due to an ordering mishap. Sometime much later I'll build the other one with full finishing techniques and compare them.
It was a fun build, and definitely the most complex that I've attempted so far.

In other news, I'm still working on my 1981 Gogg kit, but that's going slowly. I've got 0 painting experience, so I'm trying to do it properly (primer is curing on a couple of pieces now).

Update on the DM Destiny Heine custom

Had to loosen the elbow joints since they were too tight. Also the frame for the shoulder is kinda tricky and is prone to stress marks if you're not careful. Gonna go get some cement at our local shop if ever it breaks and since I'm out of cement anyway.

Starting on the legs right now.

You guys have the Johnny Ridden custom? What's your kitbash setup? Everything I attempt ends up with a clusterfuck.

How's the mg mk 2 2.0 and the mg zeta 2.0 ? I like both designs but they're pretty old so I don't know how they hold up. I'm assuming the hyaku Shiki 2.0 is great tho

Does anyone know of a kitbash of the 1/100 Duel and Buster Gundam? Can't find the site I saw it on.

>>15099426
They hold up.

>>15099078
Didn't someone have an iirc Nu ver Ka. with the stand like 1/3rd of the way off of the edge with no indication of how far the drop would be?

>>15099452
That was beamknight, right? Even so, I think I'd personally still give Origin anon the edge for just flat-out balancing its feet on the ledge, and then proceeding to put it in even zanier one-footed poses. But let it always be remembered how beamknight set the trend.

Are there aftermarket 1/100 hands that fit in scale with the smaller MSes?

>>15099746

>>15099609
I hear the black pour type sucks ass, and doesn't flow nearly as well as it should. Supposedly it's better to use the grey.

I've got the Pour Type set that comes with the remover pen, grey, brown, blue, orange, and olive. The grey is REALLY dark, like if you give it a second application you end up with a black line anyway 90% of the time, and it flows very well. I haven't tried the other colors yet, and for the life of me I have no idea what you would use the blue, orange, and olive pour types for.

>>15099238


My friend bought me it from a Barnes lol. Eh, he's alright. I personally prefer MG over HG but it was fun putting him together

>>15099746
Woah really? When did that happen?

I just want to make sure but you don't have to put a clear coat on a model before panel washing with enamel paint right? I just got one of those x-wing bandai kits and there's no way in hell i'm going to attempt that thing with a fine tip gundam marker.

>you'll be too lazy to build plastic models.
Hey I already build one, I only need to panel line it.

>>15099780
I am still new I just started with my second kit, and I just wanted to start panel lining stuff so I just bought the official gundam sanctioned pen for that.
I just tried it out and it kinda spills everywhere, but I also have 2 left hands and a hand that is so unsteady I might as well have nerve damage, I mean when I did my first kit a few weeks back I literally cut myself with my knife on the very first nub.
So it could just be me.

>>15099426
With the MG MK II 2.0 you can put it in kung fu poses and it'll stay up all day long. Very balanced and articulate kit, would recommend. Only downside to me are that the shoulders don't have a whole lot of forward/backward range of motion to them which can make posing a two-handed grip on the rifle a little finicky.

No, I was in a similar position when I started. For half of the kits I built in the beginning I cut my fingers so often and so deep my right thumb has visible scars on it to this day. But it just dawned to me a few weeks ago when snapping together something that I hadn't cut myself in months. There's a point where you just get the right type of grip and cutting method and then never cut yourself again.
The pour-type pens aren't -that- bad, they just don't flow too well at certain angles. Just use it on thin longish lines, and the regular gundam markers for panel lining for everything else. When it flows, it does it's job perfectly fine. But yeah, it is a bit messy.

I was hoping I could do all my panellines with that pen.
Finding the right equipment is such a bitch for some reason in my city.
I guess I'll just have to wait and buy some marker sets on HLJ since my second kit(sengoku astray 144) that came in yesterday evening needs a lot more painting/marking than my first kit(barbatos lupus 144).
The crossguard and handle of the katanas are going to be a real pain to deal with with my shitty hand eye coordination, but I'll just have to buckle up and git gud.

Got my Iwata Eclipse in the post today, so I can finally retire the piece of junk that came with my otherwise great compressor. Now I just need to set up a spray booth (either homemade or prebuilt) and I'll finally be able to paint that godforsaken Unit 01.

Speaking of which, what's the general's thoughts on airbrushing enamels? I have a Humbrol Chrome Silver which gives a really nice shiny finish by hand (not Aclad levels, but still really nice) but I heard somewhere that enamels can be a pain to airbrush.

How is the Turn X? Was thinking about it, but I'm a little gun shy after the RG Sinanju.

I would recommend amiami over HLJ for buying markers and pens - they usually have much more in stock.

>>15100182
Thanks I'll check it out.
Any recommendation for which markers I should get as a total beginner?

>>15100197
It just depends on what colors you think you'll need for your kits and what effect you want to achieve with them, look through here.
http://slist.amiami.com/top/search/list?s_keywords=gundam+marker&submit=Search&pagemax=40

Just look up some guides and reviews on youtube, they'll tell you what you need to know.

The only ones I would recommend are GM01, GM02, GM03 for the panel lines, especially the 01 and 02 since you'll be using those a lot. People say to use the GM03, the brown panel lining marker, on the color red or yellow, but I personally think it doesn't fit that well with either. It's your choice either way because le gunpla is freedom and all that.

Yeah that's why I added the meme prefix to it - yes, you can do whatever the fuck you want to your kits, but if you do a poor job of it and it just looks stupid you can't use "gunpla is freedom" as a "get out of jail free" card for any of your errors or shitty work.
Having pride in stuff you did is great, but in an creative hobby humility and ability to take criticism is key. You can also learn a new trick or better way of doing something that will improve the end result of your kits.

doing some nice materials, create a rig so I can move it around(rigging is my nightmare, will probably take the longest) and then take a million cool renders with it.

Never had any real goals with it other than improving my modelling skills. If I had the time I'd probably try to do some short scene with it

How do you guys eliminate connection lines? I want to have a lineless LMHG but I would also like to spray each plastic piece separately so I don't end up getting paint on other connected pieces, but to remove lines you need in many cases to glue parts together to encase moving parts. Thus endangering getting sprayed paint on said moving internal parts. I guess taping is the solution but I've had cases with paint getting under the tape which is annoying as fuck.

They said they don't like something and why. I personally disagree but they are entitled to their opinion. They aren't saying anything should be banned and they don't sound furious, they just don't like a thing. I'm not 13 years old or autistic so I won't get mad as fuck about seeing someone say something I disagree with on the internet. Especially when they're a literal nobody from a YOUTUBE COMMENT of all things.

Almost every hobby I have is now overrun by people overreacting to comments made by one or two retards and screaming about SJWs being a threat to western civilization or some shit just because a 14 year old girl on tumblr said something silly. Please. It's gunpla. It's just fucking plastic robots. We don't need to go through this shit all over again.

A dumb youtube comment. Whatever. The end.

Normally this would explain why, but why would someone even be offended by a generic anime love polygon with no sexual tones whatsoever? That's just retarded.

That person has a different opinion to you. If that really annoys you and you think they're wrong, why not go tell them instead of telling us?
Seems like you're looking for a bubble.
4chan is full of people taking screencaps and running back here to their safe space so they can hear exactly what they want to hear and have their own opinion fed back to them. Why not actually reply to the comment instead? Because you're just another hugbox faggot, you're no better than the people you mock.

Ask them. Unless you don't actually care about their opinion. In which case, what are you bitching about?

>>15100678
But I already have a Freedom 2.0.
And I can't stand Kira's ugly mug.
Why aren't they selling the Fenice R stand separately? Shit blows the AB1 out of the water.

>>15100691
Because doing research and fact checking on your own is haaaaaaaaaaard.

>>15100708
How does a basic AB1 stand that comes with the Fenice beat out a basic AB1 stand? Legitimate question since I have only seen pics of the stand with the Fenice on it and they look identical.

First time building a Gundam model kit but I've run into a wall here This is a Gundam (Wing) Proto Zero Master Grade. The problem is (red) chin is popping out from the face plate (white). What do I use to make it stick? The chin is way too lose.

>>15100774
I used Tamiya AS-29. I like it but it's not the exact shade of green I wanted. But until I get an airbrush setup, I'm stuck with whatever spray cans are available.

what are some mistakes you've made when building gunpla?

for me:
>panel lined with gundam markers then used testor top coat and it made the lines run
> rg mk ii went to put a clear coat on before panel lining and putting decals on. accidentally used matte coat instead of clear and now the panel lines come out terrible.
>mg full armor gundam thunderbolt ver ka I put the water slides on but decided to let them sit overnight and was going to put a clear coat on in the morning. water slides fell off and ripped. now it's covered with bits of decals
> mg sinanju ver ka fucked up water slides for the gold trims.
>didn't clear off the plastic dust on my file before I filed a different color part and now there is black dust stuck in a white piece. will eventually paint it tho

I have more but those are the biggest

how about you guys

>>15100821
Reading through gunpla / model building communities.

>>15100784
Never built the Proto Wing, but if it's like most MG kits I've built, the chin piece should be held in just fine by the rest of the head/face once it's together

>>15099082
For such an old kit, the Rick Dias is a fun build with some interesting gimmicks. Also one of the first kits to come with clear effect parts that plug into the beam saber handle.

>>15100784
You either haven't put together the rest of it or you snipped something you weren't supposed to. Worst case scenario, just glue it. You should be gluing anything that isn't movable anyway.

>>15100835
So its rather normal for the chin piece to be kind of lose at first?

>>15100831
Too fucking true.

>>15100843
Well I started on the lower face like the user manual says. I haven't started on the rest of the head yet.

>>15100863
Hey, moron, have you tried following the rest of the instructions? I'm looking at Dalong right now and it's kept in place at later parts.

>>15100846

>>15100867
I'm not a millennial...

Its just that its been years since I put together a Gundam model kit, just wondering why its so loose. In any case, I bought some liquid cement for plastics. That should do.

>>15100952
>millennial meme
Not all of them are stupid, but clearly you are. Millennial or not. It's loose cause it plugs into the face mask and then locked into place with the back piece when you connect it all.

Stupid people of every generation. Which now begs the question...

Alright people. What is the stupidest thing you've done or seen regarding plamo?

>What is the stupidest thing you've done
Use a Tamiya spray topcoat (laquer) over my acrylic paint job. Overall it didn't fuck it up too bad, and the parts that did mess up were easy to hide, but it took me a long time to figure out what went wrong

>>15101080
That's an understandable mistake. I once used the wrong Simple Green to strip paint and instead melted my Jegan into sludge. Whoops.

Anyone here built the Wing Gundam Zero EW Real Grade? I'm currently working on the right arm, but the hand isn't popping into the socket correctly. It seems like the joint(?) at the end of the hand isn't long enough to make it into the socket properly.
It's either that, or I've incorrectly assembled the piece on the forearm. I've taken it apart and put it back together multiples times though, so I don't think that's the case.

So my local card shop sell gunpla ....for reasons...idk why? Pick up thees cause they were cheap. I normally hate the ever loving fuck out of the graze, I think it looks dumb. The one with the shoulder cannon I see posted sometimes I actually really like. this one reminded me of it, so its ok I guess. The one with the big scissors i got only because it was cheap. I have no opinion one way or that other about it.

How can I tell if a seam hasn't filled/welded properly or if I just need to sand more?

Apparently squadron putty is more for seam filling/welding so it does the same thing cement glue does, where it dissolves the plastic to get a cleaner fill

Can someone recommend me a functional pair of nippers/cutters? Which brand and model will be more forgiving for a noob?

The /m/ guide recommends xuron 410. Other guides recommend tamiya or godhand.

>>15101977
Get whatever pair is in your local hobby shop

>>15101977
Recently I've gotten a pair of Xuron 2175 Maxi-Shear cutters, and they handle pretty well. They're also larger than average so they fit my big ol' mitts nicely and as a plus they'll give you more leverage so cuts that would be more difficult with smaller nippers happen more smoothly.
They were 13 dollarydoos on prime when I got them so I wasn't put out that much further than any other pair of cheap nippers. I've seen other people recommend Gundam Planet ones, but I have no experience with those.

>>15101971
Graze Ritter is a great kit cause it has all the normal Graze armor and equipment as well

>>15101971
Does backordered mean that you have to wait 3-4 weeks for it to be sent? I never tried it before.

>>15101994
backordered means they're expecting to get restocked but they're currently out of stock. It's like a waiting list for when they get the next shipment, whenever that happens.

>>15101993
Ryusei-Go has the Graze Kai parts, too, just all in red and pink.

The top part doesn't just rely on friction from a screw to keep it's position, and instead has a tab to adjust the angle. (It's the same thing as the high adjustment, but they only implemented it on that new AB1)

I got a set of the gundamplanet nippers for christmas and love them. I think if you snapbuild or build a lot of kits they are a no-brainer and totally worth the cash.

I previously used tamiya nippers for cutting kits out and still use a xuron 2175 for scratchbuilding work because they have larger blades and the shearing works really well on styrene stock, which is softer than kit plastic.

Any of these are good choices but you will be happier in the long run if you buy the best tool you can each time.

Also I know a lot of you guys are using cans or handpainting and want to have more fun paint options, check out fingernail stamping plates. They are basically engraved metal plates you pour paint into and then scrape the excess off, then use a clear silicone stamp to transfer the paint. They are cheap and work well with enamels, and you don't need any other equipment.

>>15102118

Well that rose could be a nice decal for a custom unit.

I did something kind of similar but more of a pain in the ass, I sanded down rhinestones to fit certain slots on the model kit.

It's been long, /m/.

So I finally have time to play with some plastic, and my friend conveniently found places in HK where you can rent airbrush and booth at a rather cheap price. So the Nu head finally got some experimental work done. Repainted out-of place blue parts, repainted the chromed parts completely forgot about the front gold rings until assembly, etc. It's not done, what with decals and some repaints and lining and all, but it's going to be. It's nice to plastic crack.

Damn, after some digging, found out it does not transform, stuck in Destroy.
A shame too, at that price, size, and only the bust, should be easy to make a solid transformation.

It's fine, guy, the silence means there's not much to complain about. there's nothing ruining in them other than the posing being a bit stiff, but that's just whatever you want.
Also it's like morning/midday and everyone in america that can afford the hobby has to make money somehow.

I loved the F91, such a solid build and minimal painting required.

This picture turned out real nice. I'm having a hard time finding a pose I like for this fellow.

If you can't get good light, try taking them outside during daylight. LED lights work nicely I've found. Also heavy arms is the best thing about wing.

Black and gold is an A++ color scheme.

>>15102628
Oh...its kinda hard to get those in russia...only ebay and other sites. Because damn anime stores in russia overprice everything like twice. So those was ordered on ebay. Sooo they ok?...i mean i idnt cover the stickers...didnt clue parts...

>>15102646
You're fine! What I meant is the poses they're in don't seem as natural as they could be, but if you like how they look, then you did a good job. you don't have to glue parts since, for most kits, everything stays in place just fine. for a beginner, with MG's no less, you did a ok.

>>15102596
/m/ is a slow board. You don't need to affirm attention to yoir own posts in mere 20 minutes.

And lurk more before you post unless you want to invite shitposts in the future. It'll do you good.

>>15102640
Weeeell...outside currently -34...its winter in russia. But i will try... :D

>>15102659
Thank you very much. Feel better. I mean for a long time i just readed about Gunpla on /m/ and never though i will do one myself. Cпacибo! (Thanks!) =)

>people are using my name
lmao why, I only use it when posting updates and answering questions about it.

Anyway, overall small piece , didn't give me much trouble except that part on the corner thah led up to a smooth front, took me a while to figure that out.

Also fixed the shoulder pads, were too thin but you couldn't tell without looking at it from the sides.

>bought Gusion Rebake FC along with Option Set 3
I should prepare myself for lots of detail painting

Anyway, I remember reading somewhere that an option set cointaining 2 rifles for Gusion would be released and i'm assuming it's on Set 9 since 8 only has parts for the grunts.

I got into gunpla a few months ago, and completed my first MG about a week ago, think it turned out really well.
I'm unsure whether I should panel line that area around the kneecap, or just leave it be.

Quality taste

What fucking website do you guys use for buying mechanicore kits? Everytime I go looking I just get blogs of people showing them and facebook links

>>15103232

>>15103234
I'm sorta new, please excuse my retardation.

Also I like the ugly over desgined shit, I can't help it dude

>>15103232
I order off kings toyland via their facebook page.

>>15103313
Thank you, I'm not at all familiar with Facebook store type shit because I just don't use Facebook in general so I thought it was kind of odd

>>15103328

The hair color in his picture was a dead giveaway.

Working on a HGM Val Varo kit, and I plan to try my hand at pre-shading once it's done. Should I pre-shade the visor area? Or leave that alone

How do you make a clear pink coat? Really thinned clear red?
