***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]

I built a HG GM. I'm thinking next about buying that starter set with the RX78 and a Zaku. Any more recommendations? My sister wants that Nobel Gundam, is it good?

>>15119736
Yes, the Nobel is fine, both versions.
Main actual problem with it IMO is how it gets marked up a bit.

The RX-78 and Zaku kits are the old HGUCs, so they are pretty dated. The RX-78 G30th is a slightly newer kit and comes with a gundam marker. Though most people will swear by the revive.

>>15119790
>Though most people will swear by the revive.
that's cause nobody wants their kit from 2009 to have single joint knees or elbows

>>15119808

I'm not saying the revive is bad. Someone may like the G30th design more.

>>15119773
I ordered through a local comic shop and pretty much paid currency exchange rate only.

It's a cute kit and a joy to put together after slogging througvh some RG or MG

>>15119736
Try the thunderbolt GM if you are a fan of GMs.

>>15119808
>Wahhh 90 degree bends

Fucking baby

So are all three 00 kits basically the same(00, 007s,00r), like are are the parts perfectly interchangeable just different accessories?

>>15119933
Yes

Use dalong

how are Medabot models?

and why isn't there a recent sumilidon model?

So I'm putting together another shopping list of kits I'd like and currently the pot includes:
HGUC 1/144 #117 Gouf Custom
HGBF 1/144 Scramble Gundam
HG 1/144 #18 Zaku Warrior
HGUC 1/144 #105 Zaku F2 ZEON Type
HG 1/144 YMS-03 Waff
HGUC 1/144 #37 MSM-03C Hygog

How are these kits and are there any that I should really drop? Any recommendations?

>>15120048
I didn't even realize they have models. I've been looking into SRW:OG models myself.

>>15120396
Oh, I'll add that I was considering getting the black-tristars but it was really pricey for 3 zakus and a large axe.

>>15119736
Must be nice to build Gunpla with your Imouto.

Anyone knows where I can get one of these in Europe? Really cant be bothered to pay 80 bucks in shipping + customs if I import it from HongKong or the likes.

Its the PG RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Final Battle Ver.

Help me out /m/. I'm doing a straight build of the 3.0 RX78. Should I use top-coat to seal the stickers in? (I would like to use them) Also, which type of coat should I use?

Another question. I heard tamiya enamel panel liner/thinner may weaken the plastic, so should I panel line only after coating with topcoat?

Thanks guys. Sorry 'bout the questions, this is my first build.

>>15120423
I saw this one at my hobby shop when i bought my Ryusei-Go.

Which topcoat would work best for making chrome less reflective?

Has anyone here tried a matte top coat on chromed parts before?

If there are anons here that are more willing to let the general die than use this thread, none of you were that interested in gunpla anyway.

Great, now I can't resist the urge to assemble the GOUF TROOP

>>15120793
Is it just me or do the bugu and mobile worker look more menacing than the goufs?

>>15120812
Probably because of that bar down their sight area

Why is the torso so damn tiny?

>>15120818
why do the old style double elbow joints look better than the new ones?

>>15120793
Bugu looks nice. Did Ral tell whoever that "it's no Waff boy, no Waff"

>>15120813
The lack of a trunk, I'd say. It's a little too long for my tastes on the Goufs

>>15118217
new invite link pls?

>>15124971
isnt it just snapfit's discord? just stick to 4chan

This motivates me to go beyond snap fitting

>>15127202

Kido Musha Dai Hagane
Hado Musha Mazaku
Tekki Musha Haganemaru
Kido Bujin Tengai O
Cho Kido Daishogun
Tekki Musha Bakushinmaru
Gouken Gundam
Trinity Daishogun (kind of, gattai)
Kido Musha Rekka Daihagane

>>15127219
thanks anon! they're p expensive but im still gonna pick a few up

>>15127836
Cho Kido got a restock. Should be around 2500jpy even on the second hand market.

Dumb question here. I wanted to at least start painting my kit this weekend, but it's raining. I've heard advice against painting in overly wet conditions, but does it actually mess up the paint? Or just make it take longer to dry?

>>15128980
go huff some paint

>>15120423
I got a better question.
Is there a way to get the green internal parts separate. I cant be havin no $400+ for a model kit shit on my shoulders when I can get a PG Unicorn for $100

>>15132098
Go ask in the non-shit thread

>>15132098
pretty sure there are clear psycoframe recasts out there.

>>15112962
The sticky had some dead links so here is a paint compatibility chart that I use for warhammer modeling: http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart

I'm trying to see what color would most closely resemble a generic zaku. Would it be Sybarite Green?

>>15135768
Post it in the other /gpg/, most people have Snapfit filtered.

>>15135820
I'm confused I posted about colors not a model kit. Also why do people hate snapshit in the first place?

>>15135832
Mostly, he treats assembling kits with nothing added as something to be praised of instead of just something. Think of it like some guy fielding an army of unpainted IGs, except it's slightly less disgusting.

>>15135846
what's an IG?

>>15135847
Something you wouldn't care about, don't worry about it.

>>15135820
>>15135846
Oh we are talking about a tripfag. Okay I need to lurk more.

>>15120818
The torso isn't tiny. It's the skirts being really long that is bothering you.
