***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.

First step of customising my first gunpla. The Grimoire shoulders offer very little movement. Do you think air should chop off the neck fins? Are they hollow?

>>15237033
>Do you think air should chop off the neck fins? Are they hollow?

Life is too short to settle for limited shoulder range of motion; chop away, son. Godspeed to you and your hobby saw.

Besides, if it's a melee unit it should really have maximal arm articulation.

So, I wonder which one should I buy? Here are my two choices

>HG Gundam Vidar
>HG Astaroth Origin

Which one should I buy?

>>15237586
Both are sexy as fuck especially Vidar, but Astaroth Origin is more fun to build imo.

>>15237439
It's a double negative. He's a shitposter, but at least an internally consistent one

>>15237439

/m/ discord spammed in every thread. Perfectly OK

>>15237586
Vidar is missing its sliding rack gimmick and its back binders can be obtrusive to shoulder/arm movement, not to mention easy to pop off. Otherwise it's a solid kit.
Astaroth also require a little painting like on the elbows, but no real problem for me.

>>15237431
I think Bandai is trying to murder the garage resin figurine market.

>>15237930
just like how they murdered the mecha musume market, right?

>>15237682
Two wrongs don't make a right.

>>15237930
Those are not from Bandai, they are from Max Factory.

>>15237968
Well, they tried.
Should've hired someone who can sculpt animu face better or maybe pull a Drossel, give every girl a qt robot face/visor/sensor and call it a day.

my vote is for vidar,i snapped and painted mine in a day and love everything about it. I know it has slight nubs and a bit of scratched paint in the pic but i've fixed that. but listen to>>15237691 the back binders are fucking annoying. you can easily get around the sliding rack gimmick by just cutting the connectors for spare blades. sure the rack doesn't slide but you can still pull a blade out of the rack.

This is a good kit? i'm going to buy this or the PG Strike, personally i like wing more but is an older kit than Strike.

>>15236952
I really like that GPG logo, anon. Do you have a full image of it?

I'm thinking of getting a 1/100 barbatos 6th form for my first attempt at painting a kit. How should I go about painting the emblems on the alt shoulders, knees, and chest? Hand painting, or should I try to do a wash? Or make a stencil/mask it?

>>15238308
Go for the Strike, universally lauded PG

>>15238308
You can just get a RG Wing Zero and get a PG Strike. Won't be as big but it will share the same levels of details

Anyone know how the 1/100 Vidar is? I don't know how you guys feel about the 1/100 NG's but the Graze has been really fun and I already have the Lupus ready to go when I get finished. Just doing different detail paints on the Graze at this point.

>>15237992
Then it's fair competition, since they won't be able to produce things like this as cheaply as Bandai could.

>>15237968
Don't joke, because they could have if they wanted to. Don't forget how much impact the RD and SRC lines had on the super poseable robot figure market. That MS musume wasn't designed with affordability in mind was the main reason why Kotobukiya is doing so well, aside from the fact that Bandai couldn't sculpt human faces to save their life.

Christ, how the fuck did he make the cape look so goddamn good.

It's probably static.

>>15239404
Is that a Zaku backpack?

>>15239409
It's definitely based off of the Zaku 1 Sniper, With the exposed machinery on the right side and all. Alongside the rifle. But I don't remember it having a 1/100 release. Plus, the modeler was explicitly going for GM sniper with salvaged Zaku sniper parts, hence the shield, right leg, and visor.

Plus, the proportions are off. The Sniper Zaku backpack is way bigger, so it's probably custom. I'd like to guess it's using the HM Zaku 2 backpack as base, but I'm not sure about that either.

>>15239401
this looks so fucking good
where can I buy it

>>15238308
I've built both. The PG Strike is much better. It's a goddamn near flawless pg. My only gripe is the seam lines on the gun and they could have used some better part separation for the inside of the shield.

You weather at different stages depending on what your doing and often put down multiple clearcoats of different kinds across the process. For a lot of it you want to do it on top of a satin coat though followed by a flat coat.

Haven't touched my gunpla for a while.

Do you guys sometimes build and then take parts apart for painting? Going back and forth between painting and prepping parts drained me very quickly.

>>15242017

Yes, it helps with memorizing how the parts fit together and familiarizing yourself with the details of a kit before painting.

How can one go back and forth between painting and prepping parts?

>>15242032
Well sometimes I'd grab say all the parts for the legs etc and paint those then go back and do others.

Probably very stupid an inefficient.

I'm having some trouble with the high grade psycho zaku, could anyone help me?
the problem is: some polycaps are too big for the holes they're supposed to fit, more specifically the hinges on the plates that cover the leg thrusters(circled in pic related) and the ones on the piece that connects the legs to the main body.
did anyone else have this problem?
I trhought about shaving off some bits of the polycap with a hobby knife and also tried shaving the hole to widen it, but I'm not sure if it's the best way. should I graba a sanding paper and try that instead?

Oh hey, Hobby Search has the Lancelot listed as restock. Guess Bandai wants more money from the R3 hype.

Much better than the 1/144, it's THE ideal Vidar kit unless Bandai make an MG for it.
Great part separation, the sliding gimmick is there, the pistols finally get their own holsters, the hands now have hinge joints for better posing, and the arms articulation overall is much better.
However, the legs still can't bend for more than 100 degrees, the feet can't accomodate to splitting pose unlike the 1/144, and the back binders still use ball connector, though my Vidar's binders connect pretty tightly so far.
Pretty good kit IMO.

>>15242591
The only time I found a polycap too big for its socket, I was using the wrong one. Are you sure the same isn't happening to you? Some of them are very similar.

Do all RG feel like that ? I have a MG elevated duck near it and even if it struggles to balance itself without action base because of the super vernier, it feels extremely sturdy.

Thanks! I had been eyeballing it for a while. I've held off on the series until the past week because I like to binge watch. The Vidar is a beautiful design so I want to be sure to get one of the kits.

>>15243150
That's the joke all the time about the Zeta so I never got it. But my Exia and Mk.II both are fine. In fact my Mk. II fell off the shelf from about five feet one time and other than some accessories flying off he was pretty good. The exia is a little more touchy though, with dangly bits and how slim the design is naturally.

>>15243214
I don't mind the hands being molded to the weapons though. It guarantees a secure and gap-free fit. It's only a problem if you don't paint them.

>>15243543
I have the Zeta in my backlog waiting to be built. Is it really THAT bad?

>>15243543
you got 2 of the solid rgs. I found the mk ii and the 00 kits to all be solid. The zeta though.... That's the hardest kit I've ever built and it sucks because I loved the zeta gundam so much

>>15243619
It's not. There just happens to be a load of hamhands on /m/ bitching about it.

>>15243619
The problem with the Zeta is that the joints become very loose if you transform it a bunch of times. So pick a pose you like and display it that way and it'll be fine.

>>15243829
Or do like I did, get two and keep one permanently in each mode.

>>15243150
Nah i got the RG Strike Freedom and its probably my favorite kit so far. i also got the rg exia and as >>15243543 said the shoulder/arm area is a little iffy.

Is the HG Thunderbolt Zaku II worth it without the Big Gun?

If I'm bashing Gunpla parts on a FAG should I be using 1/100 or 1/144?

Smaller MG and larger HG.

For weapons either use 1/144 or better yet get some koto M.S.G. stuff.

You are correct, sir; the magic of Blue tack is strong in that WIP image.

These days those smoothbore (with spare hot-swap barrels!) +railguns are modularly attached with 3.5mm neodymium disc magnets, eight per gun. MBP/10 would magnetize again.

The Kutan parts are also magnetized on so that they're removable so's I can swap in the anti-beam cloak, old WIP pic related.

The oly grade I've ever built, spent a lot of time on it and did enjoy it, I'd say it was a good kit overall but there are a few bits that will easily fall off whilst trying to pose it, and as others have said, the wings.

The wings are damn heavy, and will give you a whole lot of hassle depending on the pose you want it in, I also found the the joints struggled to hold the twin buster rifle up decently, the legs had a few small screws to sort of lock things in place if my memory is correct, could have been handy to have that option with the arms too.

Years and years since I've built it so might be off on a few bits, not a bad kid, just a few little niggles.

So I want to put a ZZ on my collection.

Should I go with the Full Armor MG or the regular MG? Is Full Armor the same kit as the regular with extra parts or a whole different thing?

But Denial doesn't have wings.
Cathedral has wings.

Or did they add wings to the Denial to fulfill the Meijin's original vision?

Does anyone have a picture of how the part between the torso and arm frame pieces on the RG Astray are supposed to go on? D5 and D6 are the parts, the instructions are frustratingly unhelpful.

>>15245397
I really hope that there would be plamo, jaegers look so wrong without some kind of weathering effect.

They can do detail just fine when the actual design has it.

I'm shocked when I hear people liked the Jaeger designs from PR. They were 1) way too tall even for a Kaiju movie and 2) generally looked like crap.

>They can do detail just fine when Disney is standing over their head with the katana Miyazaki sent them in the 90s
Fixed.
They'd never fucking do it otherwise because all they care about is mold longevity and make everything as soft as possible for the 90% snapper fanbase who don't care.

>>15246403
Im a brit who loves polish largers also! We should start a polish beer and gunpla club

>>15246834
That's for their gunpla. For their other lines that aren't going to be regularly remade for the next 30 years they don't care about longevity as much. Just look at their Halo stuff and recent Patlabor kit.

>>15246924
Even the new Patlabor kit is a soft gummy mess of non-detail compared to what literally every single other military model manufacturer does on a daily basis. Bandai simply can not be trusted outside of Star Wars and again that's entirely because of Disney's influence.

Warner Bros has nowhere near that kind of influence but more importantly is notorious for not giving the slightest of shit about the quality of their merch.

>>15246932
that's some nebulous comparison

pics on a more detailed patlabor kit would help your argument more

>>15246834
>make everything as soft as possible for the 90% snapper fanbase who don't care

wouldn't a snapper actually like more detail because he's too lazy to put in the work to put them in himself?

>>15246924
Halo stuff isnt by bandai japan, that was bandai america thinking they could make model kits.

THe ne patlabor kickass I dont know how incompetant you are to think it sucks.

>>15247405
Spruekits are made by bandai of Japan and distributed/marketed by bandai of america. Every box and even the logo otself says they're made by japan.

Having built a couple the plastics are the same as gunpla as well.

>>15247405
>>15247457
Also, I wasn't saying the patlabor kit sucks, quite the opposite actually. I said it had higher detail than most gunpla because they weren't as worried about the most deteriorating.

no it doesn't say on their logo. it just says they were designed there. That's different from the GunPla logo that clearly says "made." There was clearly some stupid shit happening in the background which also led to this line bombing hard.

>>15247471
They're made through a contract between the two companies and have been since day one. The danball (except the level 1 crap) and the pokemon kits are literally repackages of the japanese versions.

Grabbed the Man Rodi on a whim and this little guy is charming my pants off. I need some ideas of what type of colors I should paint him in, though. A red comet makeover might not be too bad, but coating the whole thing in a single color seems a bit dull.

The earlier post reminded me of this. You know the knuckles on the zaku II mg? Back when I built mine a few years back, I forced it into the slot, not realizing that it was grooved on the opposite side. Now it doesn't stay inside and falls out if nudged.

>>15248675
Dropped a really small connector piece for the funnels of the HG Hi-Nu once, found it like a month after in the one place I didn't look - under my desk where my feet are.
Reason being, I could have sworn hearing it fall and bouncing off a metallic piece on some furniture to my left, so I searched everywhere to the left of where I build to no avail. I stopped building for a week, then begrudgingly finished building the kit, lamenting the fact that I would NEVER have one of the funnels finished.
Lo and behold, a few weeks after, I just happened to find it.

So while you might lose motivation, the fact is that the piece IS somewhere in the room, and that you WILL find it one day.

>>15250527
It's the design 3-D printed next to the RE100 Bawoo for comparison.
On the last page, and on the website, it says we'll be seeing and getting more info on the ZZ ver ka on the 24th of March.
So 1 more month until we get a release date or maybe a prototype displayed somewhere.

A bit easier than trying to push them all while still on the runner.

Nearly everything about this kit posses me off. Who at Bandai thought it would be a good idea to make large parts in abs plastic? This stuff is impossible to glue and sand easily and get seam lines off.

The construction, while not locking parts in, is still build upon build upon build. There's still half a sprue of polycaps to use.

Anyway... Slav Origin Guncannon.

>>15251707
they all use the same parts so yes.

>>15253581
That's fine. I would never notice it. Nice fix!

>>15253691
oh i really fucked up then >…<

>>15253637
What? The Origin Guncannon doesn't use a single bit of ABS.

And there is cement for ABS. And ABS is about as easy to sand as PS.

>>15253581
Just use some cement and sand, simple.

It's uglier than Hell's asshole and has way too much going on with its oversized accessories.

Even the FAZZ doesn't get as unbalanced as the Atlas with its retarded boosters, shield, AND long gun.

Even the EX-S Gundam at least has some more aesthetic consideration than the Atlas.

Is the soft plastic used for joints not ABS?
Whatever it is is awful and melt when sanding off the flashing. Cutting or scraping off isn't any easier.

I see you're new to gunpla. Take a look at your manual and find the runner layout page. Next to each runner it has (PS) or (ABS) or something. That's the type of plastic in parentheses. (PS) is polystyrene; (ABS) is ABS; (PE) is polyethylene, a flexible and slightly elastic plastic that's wear and tear resistant.

You can see the PC-001 is (PE), meaning it's polyethylene. There aren't many cements for it (and they're more toxic than PS cements probably) and most people don't use cements on it because it's usually used for moving parts and generally shouldn't need gluing.

Also, PE is a very soft plastic and has low, for lack of a better lay word, melting point. So if you try to sand it it'll get softer like gum. You shouldn't sand it, only trim it with a knife, but usually the parts are hidden well enough you shouldn't have to.

For future reference, ABS is a rigid plastic like polystyrene.

Sorry image rotated for some reason

>>15253967
Rotate and THEN save your images before posting, anon. Right now the board is stripping the metadata telling your phone to auto-rotate the images, and I ain't craning my head to see all these images.

I have yet to recover the lost PC-B. For 3 and a half hours I've been on my hands and knees inspecting every nook and cranny in my room so I can continue building my 1/100 HG Shenglong kit.

Feeling around, getting a bright light to cast shadows off the floor, flipping my bed around to see if it could have gotten stuck in the sheets, even going as far as to enlist the help of my roomate far behind on rent to cover the opposite side of the room.

To help better understand the scene in question, I've been using a slightly bigger piece from the PC sprue to hopefully get a better idea as to where it could have landed. My results prove inconclusive, and I may fear that the missing piece may have actually been vaporized during its course from my sweaty hands to the gray carpet of my bedroom.

It is past midnight and I have work at 5 in the morning. I will not sleep, eat, shit, or think about doing anything else until I find it. I may even call in sick to spend the day combing my carpet and furniture.

God help me.

>>15253999
You'll find it one day, anon.

No. I can't find a single screenshot of that scene, but the closest you'll get to an anime representation of us is that one shot of Tatsuya Yuuki when he was painting a kit in the clubroom wearing an artist's apron and a gas mask. I don't think there would be groupies fawning over most of us, but that's beside the point.

This kind of thing tends to happen for any model part that escapes to the floor. For some reason they usually manage to acquire enough energy to tunnel into parallel universes and are lost forever.

the unicorn nemo is so cool

it came with a modular gun which is really neat as well.

Also I was naughty and just used the tan parts rather than the navy blue. I kinda like the effect

I resorted to religious practices, begging my Gouf and Psycho Zaku for forgiveness, knowing I have committed a great sin in building a White Devil in their presence. They heard my prayers and answered them swiftly.

It fell into my pocket, which I didn't bother checking

There is a lesson to be learned from this my brothers; fuck Gundams. Zeon is where it's at.

awesome, now finish it so we can see what the finished product looks like

>>15253960
I'm really not new to gunpla. I guess I'm used to older gunpla. Rigid parts with polycaps for movement.

Having the actual parts made out of this plastic is terrible. Scraping with a knife isn't helpful for removing seamlines/ flashing.

Which is your fave? Tyskie is great because I can get them from tesco and spoons, but I love warka when it can be found.

And back to gunpla, what do people think? I like the height, but the legs are a bit too spindly. I think I need to find a more thicc suit. How tall is the Jahannam?

>>15253999
Protip: Look for another kit you like on dalong.net,then look at the instruction scan for it and see if it has a spare polycap you need, they almost always have spares
