***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.

For those who are retards like myself and line things before you have the proper tools, the Gundam eraser marker is just diluted Isopropyl Alcohol. Instead of spending $4 for a couple of ounces you can get an entire bottle for $1 at almost any store.

Just make it 1:2 so it doesn't strip every bit of whatever you lined off.

I finished my Spiegel the other day, and I've got a MG Jesta in the mail. Any suggestions for a new kit? I've been thinking the Vidar or maybe the God Gundam.

Disgusting spoiled millennial shit.

>>15257499
Both good options. Far as the Spiegel hands go, having seen you post this in /toy/, I say drop the polycap hands entirely and grab one of the Jigen Build Knuckle sets. Each one comes with a full set apiece of Small/Medium/Large hands, and the Smalls should be perfect for mid-90s No/High Grade 1/144s.

unlike the floppy mess that is the RG, this one can hold up the massive backpack like a champ with no issues at all
that is including the bit extra weight of the metal thrusters

>>15257711
Curvy suits are where metallic paint really has a chance to shine (figuratively and literally). The Sazabi looks like sex in metallic too.

>>15257718

>>15257732
in a scale of 10 I'd say 6/10
the real challenge is not fucking up the titanium finish when removing the nubs and that can be nerve wrecking
I also skipped the whole reverse wash thing for the gold trim and used the stickers since their metallic shine goes perfect with the metallic look
adding the metal parts was also something new since I never tried them before, but once I understood how to put them, they were a breeze

I would recommed this thing if you:
- have the cash to spare (10k yen is no slouch)
- really, really want a shiny Sinanju and,
- don't feel like spending extra money, time and effort attempting to get the metallic finish yourself

>>15257766
I'm so jealous my RG sinanju looks like trash compared to this.
If you guys want a Sinanju I definitely advise you to not pick the RG one.

>>15258655
might be because of the angle, but the center chest looks weird under the gold. i like the gold, but there should be more if its supposed to be iron man IMO. dont forget to panel line and inner frame looks messy/unfinished, like you just slapped some silver and called it a day. i suggest painting that stomach section, looks really out of place. other than that, i like the glossy red and gold.

also the gun REALLY looks out of place, again, IMO

Hey all, got a question concerning ol' Heavyarms here..

I'm thinking of getting the HG WF-04 Heavyarms Kit (alongside Kyrios and Barbatos) But I haven't had any luck finding photos or even a review? Genera concerns about the kit?

I already have an EW Heavyarms from way back in the 90s (pic related). I'm also wondering if any of the above mention kits could work with any of the HGBF accessory sets like the Jigen hands and such

>>15256386

Another question on the MG Ingram, any suggestions on how to paint those rubber parts?

>>15259406
3D printed in translucent plastic/polymer

It's most likely SLA printed using liquid resin.

From what it looks like it's just the "look", a statue to prototype how it'll look rather than the actual thing.

>>15259614
You can get interior touch up paint for cars that's designed to be used on seat fabrics and vinyl and shit like that. It's designed to flex. That's probably the only thing you'd be able to paint that with without it cracking and flaking off. It's sold in spray cans too.

New Gunpla Expo in ten days. Hopes, dreams, expectations, and despair?

>>15259603
Depends on what paint. If you can, vallejo acrylics are the best for handbrushing, and since enamel thinner will chew through ABS plastic, I'd avoid them unless you prime first.

>>15259594
Indeed it is but that video answered my most worrisome concerns. A few paint apps and it should be bitchin' for the most part

>>15259712
Tamiya is easier for me to get though. Have a hard time hand brushing their acrylics but their metallics are easier. Will enamel still eat through unprimed ABS if I use lighter fluid? I'll be testing this when I can.

There's usually a silhoutte of a tentative MS something if there'd be an upcoming release.

>>15258115
Almost every one of the Builders Parts HD comes in both 1/144 and 1/100.
I got these ones myself for my MG Sinanju since the included emotive hands can't hold the beam rifle for shit.

any reason the blood orphan line has no MG? I know the 1/100s are good but I am just curious

>>15259927
IBO is Bandai's absolute budget gunpla line. Pseudo-internal frame aside, you can tell that the joints are very cheap and the kits are made to use relatively as little plastic as possible unless the kit breaks 1500 yen (the lazy ass shoulders of the Io Frame Shiden are a horrendous culprit).

Essentially, Bandai didn't want to give up making really cheap kits that turned out a profit, so they cleaned up their act slightly from the G-reco kits, told the mechanical design team to work off of the same internal design to streamline production, and lo and behold, they found a way to both explain why every MS in IBO has the same basic internals compared the HGUC, and also use cheap as hell designs in terms of plastic consumption and ease of manufacture.

They've made their money back and they've seen they don't need to work much harder to turn a great profit.

>>15259927
MGs are more complicated to make, therefore they take more time to make.

>>15259946

A new mg mk ii with the rg proportions and detail. The mk ii 2.0 is cool but the head is too big and there's not much detail.

A new zeta with the rg detail but not as fragile as the rg. Same with the mk ii the latest mg is solid but it is lacking on details.

New gp0/fb mg. I bought the really old one bc I love the gp01 fb and you can really tell the kit is like 20 years old.

Since the 200th mg is going to hopefully be announced soon I want it to be special. Hopefully either a popular suit that has no mg already, a really really good looking mg that can replace the zaku 2 2.0 as the gold standard mg, something unexpected like a mg psycho gundam, or the mg g self since it's like the only protagonist suit without an mg besides barbatos and even that has lIke 4 1/100s. Definitely won't happen but I'd love a 2.0 alex. id also love a mg fenice that's the original fenice, mg psycho zaku, or kampfer amazing (or just a kampfer 2.0) Oh yeah and a new dom would be stellar

For rgs I'm honestly really surprised we don't have an rg unicorn.
I'd love to see a rg turn A or turn X.
Maybe more build fighters rgs since apparently the build strike sold really well. hopefully we could get a fenice or zaku amazing.

For hgs
Honestly high grades are killing it. The origin hgs are all solid and the ibo ones are cool too. I'm sure any new hg will be great too.

I'd love a new Pg or even a 2.0 of an older pg. I really want a pg but my favorite suits that have a pg are apparently bad pgs and even though the strike and strike rouge are supposed to be really good I just don't know if I want one. Unicorn looks cool but it's too expensive for what looks like a scaled up mg. it just seems to lack the detail a pg should have imo.

Ng 1/100 I'd love a big zam.

out of the 200 MGs + that have been released, they slay almost half of them.

>>15260271
whoops, 100+, that's was a typo

>>15259860
Original God MG is perfectly fine and honestly better than most of today's MGs. The one and only issue it has is ball joint in the hip instead of 3-axis joint. Otherwise that fighting frame beats the shit out of today's gimmicky but weak shit.

>>15260261
No they wouldn't. The frames are neat but they're just hunks of plastic. They don't even have butterfly joints in the shoulders or any of the articulation you'd find in MGs in the past decade.

>>15260261
Anything is way better than HGs, the only reasons I'd consider an HG is either it's a Build Fighters kit or it doesn't have a 1/100

>>15260121
>>15260121
I could swear MG 200 was the ZZ Ver.Ka but I guess not, I'm surprised they didn't take that chance. I don't think bandai can possibly iterate anymore on the RX-78 or Zaku II for the time being, so I'm assuming it'll be some fan favorite pick from UC or one of the more popular AUs.

>>15260353

MG Atlas Gundam ver. Ka

>>15260353
You do know that MG 100 is the Ɐ Gundam, so it's not gonna be the next RX-78-2 or the Zaku II.

I'm hedging on the G-Self. Highly unlikely but the Ɐ was a complete surprise too.

>>15260361
1 ver. Ka per year, that's the rule.

>>15260128
You can literally kit bash a HG Seravee and a HG Rafael to make a HG Seravee II with very minimal modification.

>>15260353
MG 100 was Turn-A, decided by a vote, yeah?

No word of a similar fan vote for 200?

Do you think the new Denial will have different colored clear parts?

>>15259909
>>15259893
All plastic joints and part separation won't do anything if there's not some new feature that would make them worth buying. Though it would also be likely since they'd bring back those undersized bracket hands that you guys cream your pants over because you want SIMPLE parts on MGs which is meant to be a more complex building experience than a NG

>>15260353
I think the zz ver ka is 198 and the 199 is a new justice gundam (?) I've seen that rumor but idk if it was legit or not. ZZ ver ka would have been a good choice for 200 but since it's not I'm hoping they're going with something better for the big 200.

I'm the dude you replied to so my main hope is for a new alex or kampfer but it won't happen.

I'd say most likely we are going to get another origins mg like we did with the rx 78 origins.

no it was not decided by a vote.

MG 100 was Turn A because Katoki has a hard on for the design.

All the voting was to "Guess the next MG" not "Pick the next MG"

Also 195 is GM Sniper 2, 196 Providence, 197 Justice, and 198 is MG ZZ.

I don't think they're counting the Kira Yamato + Freedom 2.0 and MG RX-78 The origin with LEDs as "new MG kits"

Some say this will be the last convention here in the Phils. Can someone confirm?

>>15261379
what's the difference anyway?

>>15261383
It's not a convention, and no, it probably won't be the last expo.

>>15261385
An expo is "an organized presentation and display of a selection of items."

A convention is "a gathering of individuals who meet at an arranged place and time in order to discuss or engage in some common interest."

Basically, if there's a scheduled list of events, it's a a convention. If you're just there to look at stuff, maybe buy something in the gift shop, it's an expo.

6th form has the mace.

It was a silly retarded move by Bandai, one that I hope they will rectify in the inevitable MG.

>>15261385
Expos are usually set up and run by companies in order to show off stuff and connect with the fans. Conventions are more set up by an outside group and companies may have a booth or panel but they aren't running it.

But the sixth form is the ugliest of the bunch.
He didn't even have the mace anymore, by the time he had form 6.
Whatever, I'll just get lupus rex.

>>15261447
Iirc it was because barbatos was originally supposed to ditch the mace at form IV (who's appearance in show coincided with the 1/100's release) but then they decided to keep the mace but it was too late to change the kit.

>>15261467
Form 6 has all the parts for form 4 and 5 except the gun, sword, and schwalbe boosters. Basically if you want form 4 with the mace just get form 6.

I have the 00 and mass production bandai kits, and they're both pretty meh. The rubber cover on the arms seems like it'd be a pain to paint because it bends, and the completed models are really hard to keep posed without falling over from the slightest tremor. They look fine though, and the bandai line seems to be the most complete TV one so if you want all the different models I'd guess it's the best bet.

They'd be a bit small for most MGs and a bit large for most HGs. Something like the HG Nu or the MG Victory would probably be able to hold them without them looking off, but just about any kit from either line could hold them.

>>15258667

Legs, waist, torso, head, and guns are from the HG Raphael (pic related).

You need to get the arms from the HG Seravee (not pictured) and you pretty much have a Seravee II. I have not built either kit but they should all use the same polycaps so kitbashing would help you retain most if not all of the articulation.

>>15262863

Please bear with me, since I'm a chump that doesn't know better.

I have pic related (1997 Bandai LM Series 022 Sachiel) in my closet since ages and I would really like to give a try to this model building thing once and for all.

If I go to a "Games Workshop" store will I be able to get the required tools/painting/advice to start this hobby? Or can they only attend the needs of Warhammer-like merchandise? I'm specially iffy concerning the colour palette, since the instructions are in japanese and I don't know if I can bullseye the correct acrylics. (if someone has a Sachiel colour guide at hand, it would be a lifesaver).

The only other store I can imagine asking for starter's help is a traditional model building shop (trains, tanks, planes and such) but I'm afraid the patrons there will just tilt their heads in confusion when I show them what I want to work on.

tldr. Please help me so that I don't end up exactly like this guy on the video:

speaking of group build, what is the most non-graze graze custom to sneak into the entry?

Zeta-Graze okay?

>>15262998
I'm assuming the colors are referencing Gunze Sangyo color, or whatever they're called now. Color list as follows:
A) RLM Black Green 7
B) Gran Pri White
C) Flat White
D) Clear Red over Silver
E) Blue Silver (Metal Black)

Good luck

That's a secret for another 24 hours, bud.

>Zeta-Graze okay?
Depends on how much is Zeta and how much is Graze, desu. I'd need to see it to tell

>>15264665
Technically it ends on March 1st, but if you send it in a few hours late it's alright.

I've heard /m/'s Gunpla/Plamo general is a pretty good source. You should go there some time!

I have no clue anon, I get all my news from here.

>>15265032
I use here and /r/gunpla yeah, yeah, reeee
One of the two places will have any new news.

In any case I check out Degenki Hobby + Gundam Kits collection, and am subscribed to a bunch of Gunpla enthusiasts on twitter.

Disn't someone say DM kits were basically off-brand Bandai stuff? I like the Obari-like proportions of the Heine Destiny and the Strike Freedom.

GundamGuy's deal is that he reposts images from other places, sometimes not crediting the sources and sometimes getting things wrong (I haven't visited the site in a while, but I remember seeing the 1/100 Graze mislabeled as the 1/144 Graze). He also occasionally posts his own speculation as fact. Apart from that it's not that bad as an aggregator site, and honestly it's probably one of the better Gunpla news aggregators in English.

TagHobby's a Chinese site that deals with Japanese figures and merch in general, but it tends to be more reputable than GG in my experience and occasionally has its own exclusive scans. gtoys.blog48.fc2.com/ seems to be a popular Japanese site for Gunpla news, but I don't particularly care for its layout. There's also Bandai's own bandai-hobby.net [age if you want to get information straight from the horse's mouth, but you'll limit yourself only to press releases and will have to wade through moonrunes.

Honestly though, lurking /gpg/ and one other site like GG or TagHobby should get you most of the Gunpla information.

Not Gunpla but Gundanium Gateway is a fantastic little site for Converge/Assault Kingdom/STANDArt/other smaller mobile suit figures.

Do waterslides peel off after a while if they aren't sealed with a topcoat?

>>15265159
His pic stealing was so known that some modeler watermarked his pics with something like "GG is a thief" or something and he still used it. I use gundamkitscollection but really don't know if that's a good source.

I was wondering, with all the weight issues of Gunpla due to heavy buster swords, shields, giant backpacks, why don't they implement metal feet and ratcheted joints?

I got into Transformers recently as well as some Threezero toys and noticed that ratcheted joints are essential for large scale figures, in particular for Transformers due to the frequency of transformation.

I've always found many Gunpla designs silly as they are always compelled to recreate a 2D design in 3D form that is not suitable due to the unbalanced weapon weight.

For example, I would choose the the Gundam Vidar over the Lupus Rex as the latter has that heavy mace which requires a stand.

>>15265242
That stuff can be solved by thickening the joints with glue or paint.

>>15259823
Gundam Cross War art = MG box art.

>>15265242
They are model kits first and foremost. They have to be build-friendly. It's the same reason why gunpla mostly uses paint-friendly Polystyrene and not just ABS for the whole thing.

Anons, I want to build a cute mecha girl, does anyone know of some feminine mecha model kits?
Preferably cheap, and I already know about Nobel Gundam.

>>15265242
ratchets stress plastics over time, especially on smaller figures.
die cast are expensive to manufacture and would jack up prices, which is why they are usually reserved for premium/adult collector-oriented figures like soul of chogokin, riobot or ex gokin. plus they are terrible for midair posing.
also most of oversized weapons are hollow anyway and even so, nothing wrong with using stands.

>>15265297
GN Archer is a good choice as well.

>>15265297
Could always pick up some FAGs? Or Super Fumina? If those are too girl, not enough mecha though, then there's maybe the G-Portent, Gebera Tetra, GN Archer, or even Figurise Black Lotus.

>>15259691
I will never stop hoping for a MG G-Self

>>15265436
This.

I mean it won't happen but I gotta have some hope in my life.

>>15265242
If it was a Hi-Resolution kit with the pre-built Inner Frame I can see Ratchet Joints working. But this is model kits we're talking about so no, won't work.

>>15265159
Chinese sites he steals from also hate him. For a while some of them were putting insulting watermarks calling him a bunch of shit on their images because they knew he couldn't read them and would upload them to his own site.

>order a bunch of kits and option parts
>ship it
>only get one of the option parts I ordered
>check private warehouse and a single option part is still there

FUCK

>>15265699
Where did you order from?

HLJ, pretty sure no other place has a private warehouse function. No idea if I fucked up or they did to be honest.

>>15265214
They can. Actually some peel off alms it immediately like the full armor gundam thunderbolt ver ka. it all depends different kits have different water slide quality like the full armor gundams don't have enough adhesive do they fall off fast but others like the sinanju stein's seem fine

So, I'm back. I took the "Games Workshop" solution since their store is at nearest from my workplace/home. Good news; I got the equipment and more. Bad news; I'm 100 Euros poorer, what the fuck ;_;

On the lughter side, the clerk was very helpful and offered me to come by for a trial painting in a figurine before I start with the big proyect in mind.

>>15264599
Thanks. I managed to guess some of those colours with help of the pastebin (mech9). But as I told the clerk the paints I wished for, he said he can't work with those denominations and advised me to "be creative with it", like mixing colours and adding layers.

There was but one thing...He gave me the advice to buy as an extra this citadel model spray to "basecoat" the plastic before I start painting. Not sure if it was the wisest of purchases or if he wanted me to spend some extra cash.

That's Warhammer minifigs....Do you normally basecoat your gunpla? For what purpose?

Once again thanks for the tips.

Found out about the Full Armor R.D. today. Want it. But I'm sad the 144 hasn't (and may never?) be released. I'd love for it to come with the GN Wings, done much better than the last attempt.

>>15266070
IIRC the wings came with the roll-out color version of the 0 Gundam

i think the legs are too slender, it looks like a fat guy with no leg muscle.

>>15266066
Base coat stops underlying colour from showing through and helps the actual colour layer stick and not flake off

>>15266066
>>15266366
Also should mention you can also do a top layer of clearcoat as well for a matt or shiny finish

What is your personal favorite kit box art? For me it's the zeta plus a1(amuro's).
I don't know why I like it so much maybe it's just because I really like the suit and the kit is still pretty good even though it is pretty old.

Regardless on whether the Astray is ugly or not, I always thought this one was pretty good.

>>15266474
That box art is cool. I like action shots like that.

I'm on the fence about whether or not the sengokou astray looks good or not. Depending on my mood I either love it or hate it

I'm sure this question gets asked a lot but what is the best looking MG RX-78?

>>15266609
It's MG Red Zaku II 2.0

>>15266196
>done much better than the last attempt
Worry not, I know. But they where underwhelming, though, it's not as though people were crazy over the Gundam itself so it was just a nice reference to throw in.

>>15266609
people will argue either the origins or the 3.0. Personally I like the origins the best.

I like the 2.0 as well and you can probably get that super cheap

>>15265297
Sorry to piggyback on your question, anon, but I was browsing Gundam Wiki just for the fuck of it earlier and:

>Although there are other 2 MS Girls kits (Emma as Gundam Mk-II AEUG and Roux as Zeta Gundam) that have been made by Bandai, they are very obscured.

T-This is bullshit, right? i'm gonna waste so much time and money if it isn't
