***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
[email protected]
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.

PRIZE:

I can hear a tiny violin playing somewhere for this guy

Can anyone who has the HG Hyakuren tell me if it has a full inner frame like other IBO kits?

I hate it's design and the show but it's a cheap kit and I kinda want to use it as a base for a non-Gundam related model of powered armor with similar proportions, and if it has an inner frame that'd make things a lot easier.

Also I saw a pic of it in someone's hand that made it look unusually small for 1/144, is it actually shorter than most kits?

>>15103833
it does not, at least the pink one doesn't

Pretty cool overall. Unlike the Gipsy, he doesn't really have inner frame outside of the torso. Hands can be swapped between the closed fist and open hand with simple jointed fingers. Elbow only bens 90° though. Batteries and switch for the LED are at the top of the head and the cover is just held on by a battery cap.

Origin Edge-kun here, for a non edge question, I've been sorting out poses, and while it's still WIP until I can get some top coat to start weathering, I've been trying to sort out poses for him, using my Turn A's gundam hammer, and I was looking for advice or suggestions on how to pose the hammer, the way I have it now it blu-tak'd to a spare figma base to have it not swinging in the air (and have my 3.0's core figher just cause)

Listening to the RX-0 ost and reading this makes my heart glad. What a triumph that it survived.

I rather randomly obtained the Assault Kingdom Dom. Colour me impressed and while I know about the splendid RD, if it's not too much to ask, what are some opinions on the best Dom/Rick Dom model kits?

The Heat Saber is giving me imaginings of a Liger Zero inspired Dom variant, to say nothing of the other armours tied to that Zoid

>>15105111

Origin Dom is the best.

>Origin Dom
Hunh, it's different from the YMS-09 Variant and canonically has a more boxy build than the standard Dom.
It's even still available at a shop I have significant points left over at. I just may have to pick it up with the 2-type Guncannon (and theme it after the Shadow Fox.)
Much obliged, Anon.

>>15105301
Is that the Rick Dom Prototype?

That bazooka looks like the Rick Dom's beam bazooka.

Are the Z'Gok E and Hyggog any fun to pose? I like the designs, but looking at dalong, they seems rather stiff.

>>15105306
Sadly I'm not experienced enough to pin down what the suit is trying to represent exactly.

How do I prevent/fix resin warping?

Also, diminish resin cleanser by itself, and is the fluid to be binned after or sort of reusable?

>>15105505
>Diminish

Stupid phone. I meant "do I wash with"

>>15105505
you can straighten warped resin parts by submerging them in hot (not boiling) water and straightening before cooling
Resin is slightly thermoplastic.

>>15105517
do you import from Taobao directly or is there a reseller/forwarding service you use in particular?
I was looking at some stuff on Taobao and I'd like to buy some cheap things here and there but I'm too dumb to know what's best for me.

>>15105524
I use a middleman service (bhiner.com specifically)

>>15105517
Do you wash your resin with one of those ultrasonic submerge vibrator thingies?

>>15105543
Thanks, hopefully I can make some successful purchases from Chinaland, but finding the right keyword can be a pain sometimes.

>>15105556
soak in detergent, scrub with toothbrush, wash in ultrasonic, rinse, sand parts with high grit sponge/paper, scrub with toothbrush, rinse in ultrasonic.
>>15105561
What you looking for specifically?
just the scale and GK yields results ( "MG GK" for example)

>>15105570
Thanks for the answer. My last question would be when you wash/rinse in ultrasonic what solution do you use?

>>15105570
I was mostly browsing through plastic kits and conversions for 1/144 since I'm too much of a baby to work with Resin and I haven't branched out of the scale. It's easy to find things that are well known like Exia R3 or BTF Full saber but it took me a long while to find the MMF XN Raiser kit, or the knockoff Exia Ignition. I was probably trying too hard though, odds are there's an easier way to find things and I haven't accidentally walked into it yet. It doesn't help that I don't really have a set idea of what I'm looking for, but as far as I know there's not really a repository for "these are third party kits china has made" bar whatever Samueldecal advertises.

I had this kit years ago, literally impossible to get it to stand in that position. Same with this pose from the Red ASTRAY frame.

I've been shopping exclusively for 1/144 kits, but was thinking of breaking into the 1/100. Are there any suits that would fit in looking much larger than the other suits I have? Still kicking myself for not picking up that zeong when I had that chance.

Re/100 Nightingale and the Gundam MKIII are both rather large without seeming disproportionately so. MG Sinanju, Sazabi, Nu, and Unicorn are also larger suits.

I only have experience with the Hygogg, but that one is quite fun to pose.
The main problem with posing it is weight management, as the body does not have quite enough mass to offset the arms if they are stretched out too far from the center of gravity. But this can in turn be counteracted by placing one of the arms in a different direction for counterbalancing or placing it on the ground to give that arm a bracing pose.

There is no waist movement and my kit had loose knee joints that i still need to fix. But so far I have had more trouble being creative enough with the tentacle arms' possibilities than actual problems getting the suit to match what I come up with.
I've heard some bad reviews of the Z'Gok E. In particular that the scaled sections are rigid poles, but I haven't touched one myself.

I mean the standard warning and hazard triangles should work, but if you're feeling experimental Sammy has these Tallgeese ones and because of the general silhouette and the way the Grimgerde is shaped they might work out?

>>15106815

that's alclad dark aluminum, it's a metalizing lacquer which is how you get that effect. It's basically solvent with tiny pieces of metal that align to the surface when the solvent evaporates.

>>15106822
>I stretched the limbs and torso to make him a bit more menacing
It certainly is much better than the squat original, but the MS design itself is pretty derp. You're really working hard to squeeze blood from a stone (but it shows good craftsmanship).

>>15106822
>alclad dark aluminum, it's a metalizing lacquer
That's neato. Do you apply with a brush or do you airbrush it on?

What do you guys think of the Astray's design?

>>15106855

It's airbrushed, it evaporates so quickly it's basically impossible to handbrush

there are lots of good reasons to get an airbrush

>>15106867
Does the Blue Frame really have its beam boomerangs attached to the side of its head?

>>15106869
I love alclad, but I'm trying to see if my hobby shop can start stocking vallejo metal color for that very reason. From what I've seen it looks nearly as good as alclad, from what I've heard it airbrushes beautifully, and best of all its water based so you can handbrush with it too for touchups or small areas (it warns about handbrushing large areas with it causing uneven finish).

>>15103697
>get a package from Japan seller

These things are awesome. I wish I knew about them sooner. I haven't bought an SD Gundam for years. They were cool, but didn't like how restricted they were in articulation. The NEXT and Dash figures are a great blend though. Anyone buy them? Any recommendations?

>Zeon got both the Z'gok and the Zaku as RGs

I just want a GM III RG. The HG is good, but goddamn it I'm greedy.

Huh. It looked much better when you had it primed
Oh well good paint job, man

>>15106897
I want a GM III MG. They reused the 2.0 frame for the GM II and even the Sniper II, so it's certainly possible. I wouldn't even care if it was P-Bandai.

>>15106897
The humble Zaku is Gundam-tier in popularity. Not even Char's, but the green grunt Zaku is essentially the RX-78-2's best friend now in how long they've been together.

I'm sort of with you on the Z'gok though; I have no idea how that got popular enough to warrant an RG. I love the MS, but why did it get an RG?

Just finish HG MK II Titans. Sorry for bad quality pic. Whats the highest sand paper grit i should get for nub marks?

>>15108325
you want to clip parts of fthe runner, then use an exacto to cut the nibs flat. paper wont work in removing the nibs as you run the risk of sanding the plastic around the nib. this looks like shit with darker pieces.

ideally, you want to flatten the nib with a blade, then glue the parts together along the seam. after the seam has dried completely, you can cut off the excess glue, and sand it down flat, filling in uneven areas with contour putty, and sanding it down once it dries. from there, you paint.

if you arent going to paint, dont worry about sanding, just use the blade. less damage that way, and looks much cleaner

>>15107981
yeah but that barely looks like it shares parts with the Ground GM mold.

>>15108401
No, the reason i want to know is because i cut the piece off the runner, use knife to remove nub but it still leaves a mark. some poeple say run your finger nail over it, which helps, but its still noticeable. I wont be getting rid of seamlines or painting anytime soon, I just do relatively quick and relaxing snap builds for fun. I may paint in future, but not yet. Dont have the money or equipment.

I bought the Lightning Gundam Zeta for $14 on ebay.

Did i do good?

>>15108414
desu, painting and glue is fairly cheap. spray cans run about $3per, and glue and putty run $5.

i would imagine the sharper the blade, the mor elikely you are to actually cut the plastic, rather than pulling it, which is why the plastic turns white/tints.

a sharper blade is more liekly to cut through the plastic, preserving the color underneath.
i would imagien running a nail over it is good for checking smoothness. if all else fails, model master sor whatever has a 10 sheet sandpaper set, with rough to polish grit, like 600grit max. you wont be polishing, but itll be fairly smooth. any higher, and theres comes a point where its taking a smooth surface, and applying a subtle matte to it.

idk, i really dont like sanding kits im not going to glue or paint.

Question for all my fellow Gunpla fans.
For those who choose to use a display case of storing and displaying your completed Gunpla, I take it the most popular display case is the Ikea Detolf. I have 2 myself, but I don't have any space for a third. Any one have any ideas for a model of case that would fit well on top of a bookshelf or table?

What I had in mind was essentially a detolf that was half as tall. But wanted to see if anyone had seen some good ones out there.

>>15108480
Can you link me? I'm looking around but cant find any!

I already canceled my order

>>15107874
>>15107889
Combined with the simpler hands and how many more panel lines they're putting on the outer armor, very much like many people here banrise is slowly turning MGs into 90s HGs.

Master grades are supposed to be complicated and take time, fucking babies like you asked for simpler construction because you kept twisting the hands off the trees and breaking them and the only past experience you had was with 1/144 HGs

>>15107718

those crazy turbines

>>15108867
quick thoughts on this thing:
- everything needs paint, as it comes molded only in black and white
- similarly, masking is a must for the front flap and the rear, as well as the turbines in the back
- every piece and section you want to attach needs superglue
- the canopy is clear plastic, painting it with clear blue is really hard to pull off if you are using a brush
- its comes with A SHIT TON of decals, I just used a few ones
- the wheels do spin!

Works fine, but looks a little bit thicker and it's harder to get a good chrome so most settle for something like aluminum or silver.

The main difference with airbrushing it is you spray it on much thinner and can build it up in thinner coats as well as adjust how deep/dark you want the color because of it (You just spray on less layers).

Unless they manage to get Tested to do a one day build, it'll be pretty stale in Trumpland

The Ecoas Jegan bazooka seems to work better under the arm than the bazooka the Stark Jegan comes with. Please ignore that nub mark on the Bazooka it doesnt look that noticeable irl only when I use flash you can see it.

I can't find any titty gouf. Tried google, but I don't read moon.

>keeps his room dark to hide nub marks on his snapbuilds

>>15111481
Maybe she isn't streaming right now. Hell, she's probably finished the gouf by now. Who knows if she'll do more.
It was pretty boring though, to be honest. I didn't stick around for long.

hard to tell if its Kampfer or the Kampfer Amazing variant. He may also have painted it?

>>15112112
its the normal HG Kampfer, the Amazing has different legs and shoulders

>>15112112
Thank you! Now i know its Kampfer. :D

>>15111856
I fucking love your work. You really don't get enough recognition. You still should have won that contest with your Crossbone over Ant's Nu.

>>15112112
Yeah its just the normal HG Kamfer, unpainted. Pretty good kit but part of me still wishes I shelled out some extra cash for the MG

>>15112068
Thanks dude, the horse is from the Master Gundam HG if you were wondering. You can put quite a few High Grades into the saddle

Posted in /toy/s gunpla general too.

Just finished my first MG in over a decade. I used to do a bunch of HGs of mostly Gundam Wing and G Gundam stuff back in middle school. I did do one MG of Shining Gundam and remember having a very tough time with it. The RX-78-02 was a very enjoyable build and got me back on the plastic crack addiction. Just got done order the Gundam Mk II 2.0 as my next kit. AEUG version. I want to pick up the RX-79 Ground Gundam and the RX-93 Nu Gundam. I'll probably need to get some Zakus and Char's Sazabi if I'm gonna also get Nu. Oh what a slippery slope.

Don't bully, it's my first MG in a decade and I still need to panel line it and build the weapons. Any good recommendations for getting rid of nub marks?

sandpaper

>>15112157
I'm terrible with nubs too, will invest in some. What grade of sandpaper works best?

>>15111329
DELET

>>15112142
Know what you mean. I only recently got back into the hobby after an 8 month break and I just ordered 500 dollars worth of kits.

>>15112160
I used to use 2000 grit for nubs, but that burns through sheets like candy. Now I just use 1000 grit and it works fine and comes out just as nice.

>>15112142
Photoshop

>>15112160
I use several. Work your way up from 400, to 1000. Go up to 10,000 if you want a mirror like coat.

>>15112142
When you pick up the Nu and Saz, get the Ver. Ka versions. The original MGs are very dated and don't look anywhere near as good.

What's the proper scale for Zoids?

>>15112259
what do you mean proper?

>>15112259
The one i've build and the ones ive seen are all 1/72. My gunsniper is about as tall as a 1/144 gunpla. although its way longer and a bit wider. The ligers ive seen built seem WAY bigger than my gunsniper though and they are both 1/72 i believe. That could just be case the liker was bigger in the show or somthing idk.

>>15112259
The proper scale is 1/12. Everything else is a knock off not made by Bandai.

>>15112336
>Bandai
>making Zoids

pick one

>>15112365
Pretty sure he's trolling considering his suggested scale is "1/12", which for a zoid would be something like the size of a small bike depending on the zoid.

>>15112430
Fucking imagine riding a Liger Zero to work though.

Eh, Liger Zero at least isn't that much bigger, although that could be down to my posing.

Yes I know it's unpainted and generally pretty shit, but it's the first kit I built since Zoids died and I kinda want to leave it as-is to show how far I've come.

Frustration hit hard with real life stuff this week, couldn't get anything done and wasted a fuck ton of time in factorio.

No problems here except I did some nasty proportion mistakes in this piece and the previous lower chest one, You'll see that it doesn't match with the reference pic anymore but I measured it, it's fine.

2bh I don't know If I can handle the skirt. All the pieces flow so perfectly together. I don't know what to do right now. Maybe I'll do the thighs.

Also realized that I've been doing this for over a month now, time sure flies.

When should one be using MLT as oppossed to Mr Color Thinner ? Is there a flow chart for choosing which is better for a given situation?

>>15112979

there are extremely few circumstances where regular thinner is better, and you should always get the 400 bottle of leveling

>>15112823
After seeing the inner frame Im kind of wishing I picked it up too (Currently detailing a few areas on Cherno to cover gaps before I get ready to paint). Too late now though, he's sold out basically everywhere that isn't charging scalper prices.

Maybe Max Factory will do reprints given how well they seem to have sold, although I doubt it since I don't recall them doing reprints of anything yet.

>>15112989
I'll sell my soul for a Striker Eureka kit

>>15112983
Curiously, what are those few instances?

>>15112993
I'm thinking that they were waiting to see how well Cherno and Gipsy sold before working on Crimson and Striker. Of course, it took like two and a half years from the initial dysplay to finally releasing them so I wouldn't expect a release anytime soon. Max Factory likes to take its time on releases.

>Romeo Blue and Tacit Ronin never

>>15112979
Mr.Leveling thinner is better as it has self leveling properties that result in a smoother, more even finish. That stuff is gold if you're airbrushing Mr Color or Tamiya.

Just don't ever try to handbrush it.

>>15113006
How about enamels? Thanks in advance.

>>15112998

In instances where you would want the paint to dry as quickly as possible. For example in a military model where you are using paint with a matte paint finish you may not want it to stay wet for as long. But for basically everything we do, leveling is always better.

>>15113020

this is not used for enamels at all and will not work with it at all. Never cross-use shit for lacquers and acrylics with enamels.

>>15112823
>shit sold out everywhere
brb killing myself for not preordering it

>>15113020
Enamels are oil based. Do not use lacquer thinner on them, it won't work.

If thinned properly they can be handbrushed just fine, although they have long-ass drying times between coats and you really got to let them cure properly before topcoating.

Can't speak for the Gipsy, but for Cherno unless you are a massive fan of the movie or jsut had to have the design, you probably would have been fairly disappointed with the kit for the price on it. It's got several gaps and areas where you can see the pegs and in some ways the $20 Neca figure was better articulated. Overall the Gipsy looks to be the better of the two but Cherno has the cooler LED setup.

Also the Gold Frame Amatsu Mina is disgusting.

When you clip the pieces from the runner, use a hobby knife to remove the rest of the nubs.
