***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

They really got the proportions right on the HG Atlas

>>15113336
Too bad it's ugly as hell. It's not only overdone like the Astrays, it's also got an original-GM diaper going on.

>>15113336
I didn't like the linear too much, but I like the look of the kit.

Looks way better than the lineart. Still undecided whether to buy this or not though.

>>15113336
Glad they beefed up the shoulders a bit.

>>15113336
It still sort of gross.

I can't believe they gave the artist this much leeway.

>>15113336
Looks better than the line art. I still hate it though.

Speaking of stuff like this, I saw a magazine clip showing a 1/144 Gundam Vual. Anyone know if that was a kit due for release or was a scratchbuild?

For your own sake, consider picking up a cheap HG to build before you tackle a RG. It'll give you a chance to get a feel for working with the plastics and processes like nub removal and sanding. Think of it like a tutorial for the more complex RG. I'm pretty sure everyone here will admit that in hindsight their first kit was pretty bad, and it would be a shame for that to be on a RG. Actual taste in frame aside.

>>15113731

My first kit was MG and it turned out exactly how I wanted it to be, with a bit of weatherin and everything. As long as you can follow instructions and research enough you can do anything on your first go.

The arms are RG Exia frames that were left over from RG Quanta. I'm gonna use the Razor's thighs as the bicep armor, cut them down to size so they fit properly. Still no clue how the fuck to make the shoulders work though, or what colors to paint it.

Hey guys, I started gunpla building last year but so far only made some basic 1/144 IBO stuff.

I was thinking about buying pic related but I wanted to ask here if someone knows if this guy requires painting or you can get away with the stickers.

Speaking of stickers, I've seen a whole set for Zephyranthes/Full Vernian sold separately, is it worth?

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10245949

As you can tell I have no confidence in my painting skills, so for now I'm trying to get away with stickers.

thanks for the kind reply, I kind of got the idea from this sweet video from the op's playlist.

Those are waterslide decals in your link, not stickers.

And RG are color accurate out of the box.

>>15113862
what is the term for the effect on the white pieces? It looks like air brushing but is there a tutorial anyone knows to get the effect?
of this pic.
>>15113795

can i buy the ground jim yet?

Is there really no SD Zaku in the seesaawiki?

>>15113875
It's called shading or color modulation. And occasionally highlighting.

It all depends on the technique you used to get that effect. And yes, you need an airbrush to do it properly.

>>15113882
Ok thank you.

lol not to scale

What's the better version of the RX-78-2? The 2.0 or the 3.0? I'd imagine the 3.0 is better engineered but the 2.0 certainly looks more accurate.

>>15114031
2.0.

>>15114033
I see. Hmm. Did they really screw the pooch on the functionality of the 3.0 or is it largely down to aesthetic preference? I can see the appeal of both aesthetically (2.0 is far, FAR more accurate to the animation, but the 3.0 looks more "realistic") though I'm leaning towards the 2.0 because it looks much simpler to paint.

>>15114044
>but the 3.0 looks more "realistic"
That's because it literally is. It, like the RG RX-78-2, is styled after and has the proportions of the soon-to-be-decommissioned 1:1 RX-78-2 statue at Gundam Front. The 2.0 also has more accessories and is more anime-accurate, but it's really up to you.

I personally like the 3.0 more, but that's just me.

>>15114193
the scale threw me off, I hope i got that one. Might paint it and frame it. Thanks anon

>>15114189
>Why not the Origins version?

Simply put, didn't know it existed. Thanks for letting me know though, it looks to be the right balance between anime accuracy and a more modern take. This is all theoretical of course as I still need to actually pop my Gunpla cherry (as soon as my airbrush setup is sorted) and something tells me an MG isn't the best way to do that. I heard that the IBO kits are good starting kits, is that true?

>Why would they decommission it?
I think the weather was beginning to take its toll on the poor old thing. It's sad, but even the Gundam must rest eventually. I hope they bring it back eventually, I'd love to see it in-person. Either that or do a 1/1 Zaku.

A little bit of music to ease the pain:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHdYXUHl06o

>>15114178
It looks like Extreme Gundam or G Saviour.

>>15114189
>>15114207
I feel like decomission is the wrong word, they're definitely taking it down and closing GFT for the moment but it's been said to be expected back up by 2019. Japan has a lot of pride in that thing, there's no way they'd leave it gone- they'd build it up further out and let nature take it first.

>>15113336
All the yellow part beside V-fin gonna be sticker isn't it.

>>15114207

The IBO are simple, but I personally don't really like them. Might be good for practice though. But after that, you should definitely go for the Origins RX-78. It's not that complex, and is amazing all the same.

>>15114207
>Either that or do a 1/1 Zaku.

Hopefully that will finally encourage them to get off their ass and make new MG Zakus. The HG Origin kits are incredible and I want that magic translated to 1/100, damnit.

>>15114368
They are quite divisive designs I'll admit. I haven't watched IBO yet (working my way through UC) but I do like the Barbatos' design, especially the variation with the thick sword/"tetsubo". Unless the reason you dislike 'em is functionality related, in which case I might go for something else.

>>15114372
Have you built any of the Zaku 2.0s?

They are some of the best MG kits, the bar of which all other MGs should be measured against.

It has an actual inner frame rather than the sticks figures alot of modern MGs have.

>>15114444
Also if you talking design wise they would likely just use the 2.0 frame, hell we might get a Zaku 1 2.0 from Origin

Are there any kits that you thought looked like shit but then your opinion on them changed?

I didn't like a lot of the IBO S2 designs but I snapped together a Hugo recently and it's really quite nice.

>>15114382

Yeah, it's how they look for me. Season 2's designs especially. I got the Barbatos 6th form and the Graze Custom, but even then I only dig the latter.

>>15114444

I haven't actually. I've been considering it, but I hold out hope that the advancements made in the Origins High Grades will be brought over to MG.

>>15114477

Hugo is the only S2 kit I've picked up so far

>>15114580
It's better have some neat gimmick or unique weapons, since I don't see any reason for people to buy it.

I have no idea, actually. A friend bought it thinking it was the real deal, but almost threw it away when he realized how shitty the plastic was after a leg just snapped right out of the box. So instead, he donated her body to SCIENCE.

It's a lucky thing that it uses the same size of ball joint that the 1/144 kits do.

1. Surfacer is to make paint adhesive and smooth

4. Clear because you want the chrome to shine through
5. Apply more for saturated color

It'll be one of the kits that come out after the show is off the air and all the things that are actually in it have been advertised. April at the earliest. Probably May or June around when the HG line is likely to end.

>>15114607
>People will buy it simply because the Alex is a good design but the HGUC kit is dog shit.
This is a perfect reason, honestly. The ancient Alex HGUC can't even hold its own gun without pulling the gun hand nearly outside its wrist polycap.

>>15114622
>>15113336

On one hand, I hope the Atlas Gundam fucking bombs so we never see it again, but at the same time I could really use its accessory guns (fuck that gay tire tread shield) and cannibalize its otherwise nice legs for a kitbash.

I think the atlas is the main gundam that gets most to the heart of the question "what is a gundam" rather than just any mech, and is divisive for that reason.

If you've never built a zeon suit before definitely check out an Origin Zaku, either the Char or Tri Stars versions, because it's good to have a Zaku and those are some of the best versions in 1/144

Picked up a box of some 40k dudes on the "cheap" at my LGS since after building/painting nothing but HGs and Tanks for 2 years I felt it was time for something a little different. Looking online they're still as bullshit expensive as I remember them being back when I tried getting into it over a decade ago (See that Tech Priest on the right there? He's made up of about 12 parts (with 3 extra parts for your choice of head/guns), stands a little under 3 inches tall and costs $36 USD on his own). At least I got this box set for $70, I wouldn't dream of getting everything in it on it's own ($36+$39+$66 for the Tech Priest/Rangers/Dunecrawler)

Once again /m/ proves it's the among the dumbest boards on 4chan.

Have you ever even stopped and thought about why tanks are called tanks?

>>15115221

holy shit you guys can't stop getting shit wrong

they are called tanks because that was one of the code-words used to disguise what was being built and transported prior to WWI

>>15115242
How does that conflict with anything I said?

>>15115252

because you asked him if he had ever thought abut why tanks are called tanks, when it really has nothing to do with what you were talking about

>In his autobiography, Albert Gerald Stern (Secretary to the Landships Committee, later head of the Mechanical Warfare Supply Department) says that at that meeting "Mr. (Thomas J.) Macnamara (M.P., and Parliamentary and Financial Secretary to the Admiralty) then suggested, for secrecy's sake, to change the title of the Landships Committee. Mr. d'Eyncourt agreed that it was very desirable to retain secrecy by all means, and proposed to refer to the vessel as a "Water Carrier". In Government offices, committees and departments are always known by their initials. For this reason I, as Secretary, considered the proposed title totally unsuitable.* In our search for a synonymous term, we changed the word "Water Carrier" to "Tank," and became the "Tank Supply" or "T.S." Committee. That is how these weapons came to be called Tanks"

>>15115262

so tanks are called tanks because guys on the committee didn't want to put up with jokes about being on the "W.C. committee"

hilarious

>>15114877
The reason that line is there is the obnoxious shitposter twins keep posting theirs as the "Official" one.

the gyancelot and by extension the gyan revive . poses really nicely despite its less than flattering look. the waist hinge mechanism and the swing out caps should be standard in HG design.

>>15115350
Spiffy. Props to whoever did that.

Are RGs, in general, more detailed than MGs? I've heard some say they're HG sized MGs but I've also heard people say they're more detailed than MGs and closer to PGs. Which is right?

>>15115959
it depends on model to model but id say that they are mg tier.

>>15115959
More like hand grenades.

>>15115959

They have more surface detail than a lot of MGs, which are older than the RGs. Compare the MG Destiny to the RG.

But that said MGs are far more structurally sound because cramming all that bullshit into 1/144 weakens the integrity.

>>15115975
Only a few. The newer ones, sans the Zeta, are pretty stable.

>>15115211
I used to, more than a decade ago.
Last Citadel model I made was a Land Raider Crusader, kitbashed with a Predator autocannon turret replacing the roof-mounted hatch.
Just because I could.
The out-of-the-box manufacturing quality was pretty poor, however. The metal twin-linked assault cannons didn't fit the turret they were supposed to be mounted on.

>>15116037
No, it's not bad by any stretch, but that fucking waist man.

>>15116089
yes its a bit wobly, but comparing it at all to zeta is complete hyperbole.

>>15116103
I didn't do the comparison but I see what you mean. But if the Sinanju did transform, it would be fucked

>>15116040
If it's the old style crusader, the hurricane bolters were pewter and didn't fucking fit at all into their sponson mounts, and on top of that were too heavy even with super glue to stay attached to the plastic.

God, compared to gunpla, I wonder why the fuck I liked GW stuff back then considering their quality was crap tier compared to even the oldest HG kits from the start of the line.

That's me, but the only remorse I've had was with the HG Kimaris. And not because I didn't like it but because I seem cursed and I keep losing parts of the kit/breaking it/fucking it up in some way and buy another one only to fuck it up too.

The regular GM II was a P-Bandai release. There's some speculation going around that the AEEUG version will be a normal release, which would be interesting since iirc the only thing similar to happen like that is the G30th Gundam being released as part of Gunpla Starter Set 2.

Why is everywhere reasonably priced RG Zetas sold out? Everywhere I went before nobody gave a shit about them and they were in bargain bins. Suddenly everyone wants them and now they're fucking scalper prices.

>>15113743
My first kit was an RG MK-II, and the only thing I regret was doing the panel lines on the shield with a pencil (this was before I bought some Gundam Markers). It looks fine otherwise (and the shield itself doesn't even look half-bad).

If you're patient, delicate, not brain damaged, and if do a decent bit of research before starting your first kit, it's pretty hard to fuck anything up spectacularly. RGs also look fantastic out of the box and are engineered in such a way as to hide most nub marks, so these kits, while time consuming and intensive, are actually pretty newbie friendly (at least in my experience).

Scribe a guide line and then use a hobby saw.

What if you need to just cut into a concave part? A hobby saw won't reach in that case.

I guess just use a hobby knife or scriber and go really slow and careful? It would depend on the type of cut you are trying to make.

Any tips for the RG Sinanju? I overpaid on this kit, and I really want to make sure I don't fuck it up.

How do I make this look as good as possible? Are there parts I should just glue to save on aggravation? Any problems areas I should look out for in advance? etc.

>>15118812
The waist joint is TERRIBLE. Once completed, I found impossible for mine to make it even stand up, an action base to display it is a must.

A mere out of the box build is enough for it to make it look good, as the red plastic is glossy and shiny and the gold chromed parts are dope.

However, be very careful when assembling the black parts for the sleeves and knees, they are very thin and can break very easily.

The shield is too heavy for the arm to even lift it.

While I love the Sinanju, the RG left me very disappointed, reason why I finally decided to buy the MG of it.

Well shit, coupled with the ground Rodi parts, I'm going to have to buy several of these.

>>15118833
Thanks for the tips. I've definitely heard this kit has major issues, but it looks so fantastic (and I'm not nearly practiced enough to paint an MG Sinanju). Any tips for not ruining the glossy red, or are the nubs generally well-hidden?

Also, is it worth it/even possible to panel-line the glossy red bits?

Also, has anyone got experience using HG Sinanju Decals on the RG Sinanju? Is it do-able?

I posted in /toy/ already, but I may as well post it here too. My first build of the year, MG Powered GM, is done.

Looks fantastic, but purple on the legs will never not remind me of Fabgeese (rip fabgeese, we cry every time)

What effect were you going for around the visor?

>>15119029
Thanks! The part I remember most about fabgeese was how he thinned the paint with industrial strength thinner.

I wanted to make it look like it was glowing.

Nice, just built a TIE Interceptor, doing the water slides right now but I'm not sure if I should use the slides for the canopy or buy the masking set. Not even sure if I like the glas better than the open canopy. But you'll see on the Snowspeeder that they probably could have easily combined the cockpit glas and beams

>>15119005
So easy a dog could build it.

>>15118506
Probably a silly question but are these just like Gunpla?

>>15119129
Yes. To the point where I've seen non-gunpla modelers complain about them.

>>15118188
what would doing that pose change or prove differently from the pic i posted before?

>>15119159
>I've seen non-gunpla modelers complain about them.
I wanna see some of these.

>>15119171
Very likely the usual complaints about these being for casuals because of not needing glue or paint. Which is true, but people don't have to be faggots about it.

>>15118994
I dig the glowing effect of the eyes, I think it worked out pretty well.

still a WIP, need to prime then buy paint and shit. I like the design but dislike the colours, it's going to be more of a pet project anyway

>>15119408
Snapfit you have your own thread, go use that.

they need to release a revive alex, so what better way to build hype than to release this and then reuse 80% of its mold for the alex

>>15119464

I just hope they do a good job and don't do some lazy faggot shit with parts/color separation like they've been doing on some kits lately.

Maybe I should actually do a edge shot with it. It would be like, the only kit I have that if it fell off the roof I wouldnt care.

>want to prime
>primer is lacquer
>don't want to spray that shit inside because we have pets
>garage is not only cold as shit, but also step mom's really fucking nice car is in it leaving no room
Is the only thing I can do between now and springtime get shit ready to prime and snapbuild RGs?

Move your stepmom's car out of the garage for 2 hours.

Wow this kit is surprisingly based. Despite the head being a pain in the ass to fix.
