***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: 3/1/17
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:
$40 prize pool to spend on from Amazon (>>15024502)

On a sign of good-will, Groupbuild entries are gonna stay open until the next thread, whenever the fuck that is.

>>15267887
Oh good, because I just finished and now just need to take some pictures.

So just curious, for any of you out there that uses air brushes, what's your compressor?

>>15267911

I use a Harbor Freight Tools compressor

No you don't, you don't paint your kits. Why would you have a compressor?

>>15267887
how many submissions so far

Guys suggest me some mgs I should get. I want a new one but I don't know what to buy

Recommend me a kit you like and the reasons why you specifically like it.

Preferably something a bit obscure or underrated. Don't recommend the usual recommendations like the sazabi ver ka, zaku 2 2.0, full armor gundam thunderbolt etc bc I probably already have it.

>>15267887
will there be a new group build right after this one ends? I love group builds but I didn't participate in this one because I don't really like the graze

So does the group build technically end tonight or tomorrow night?

The Wing Fenice MG is good, it's poseable, sharp looking, comes with beam curtains and is an all around improvement over the Wing EW kit.

Or the Kampfer. It's oldish, but it's a Kampfer.

>>15268103
Why do you need a carpenter saw? You're building gunpla, not a bird house.

>>15268114
Razor saws are commonly used for cutting styrene sheets and parts cleanly, newfriend.

>>15267985
I actually already have the strike and I love it. The age 1 does look interesting and I don't have a kit from age. I may go with the turn A tho to go with my turn x.
>>15267988
origin guncannon is cool but I'm looking for a master grade.

all good recommendations the ex s is probably just a bit out of my price range. if I'm going to spend over $100 on a kit I will just get a pg strike.

Keep suggesting guys I've liked a lot of them so far but I haven't decided yet

tell us your approach, write us an advertisement to promote your model.

A weathered model usually tells a backstory, where it been and what it done from its scratches and dirts.

not being rude or taking it personal, but you could put more effort on it and youtube some examples before experimenting on yours.

i know people who burnt a fucking hole on his M4 and read stories of people taking their models to shooting range.

Finished up my Custom Graze for the group build. I modded the rifle and added a radome dish the back so I'm calling it a Designated Marksman type.

Also trying out some new lighting for my photobooth. I think it turned out much better than dim yellow mess I had last time.

Hyakuren legs on the Grimoire makes for a pretty good combo, I think. I think I need to do something with the skirt pieces to cover the ball joints.

Thoughts?

>>15268179
I decided to try out those newer Vallejo Metal Color paints. Was dissapointed to learn that the "Metal varnish" was literally just their regular gloss varnish rebottled.

The paint itself works nice though. Goes on a little rough but levels off smoothly overnight.

I figured the Holster was one of the IBA/O weapon holders.

>>15268188
The chunkiness in the middle kind of throws it off for me. If possible, try replacing the ab-ball cockpit thing with something thinner maybe? And slightly bigger feet. I think that would do it.

Depending on taste. The Zaku F2 from 0083 is very well made and not too much of a stark change from the basic 0079 Zaku. There's several Origin Zaku kits, they're all great too, though I prefer the non-origin look.

Because the original ones had AGE and G-Reco-tier sales for any non-Setsuna suit. So they never bothered making MGs for them.
Besides, Bandai have all but moved on from MGs so it's no real use wishing for new ones of old shows.

Go for what has your favorite suits. There's a larger variety with HGs and some HGs incorporated fixes to issues early MGs had (Like the HG Gouf Custom not suffering from floppy arms)

I have
1 MG Tallgeese
1 RG Sinanju don't buy this
1 HG G-Lucifer (first kit I got from a convention, it introduced me to gunplas)

I'm waiting for the backorder of RG Red Astray (come on HLJ it's been 2 months already), and I have a MG Zaku II 2.0 coming up in a couple of weeks.
What should I buy next ?

Well as a suggestion you can make it look like hes holding his sword to the crotch in a "Check out the size of this sword" fashion.

>>15270037
No. Not until I can paint and seam weld properly, at the very least. I'm not building another snapfit in two days to see it sit on my shelf half finished.

>>15270037
I don't feel like building anything anymore.

It is a very Seig-y look, yeah. I think that's why It's growing on me.

I would replace the abdomen, but the nature of the Grimoire torso/skirt makes it tricky to find a part that will fit. The feet balance pretty well too. I'm not joining the ledge crew, but I'm impressed.

>>15269726
HGS are more popular, they are cheaper, have way more kits, and also have lots of option sets.

But personally I love MGs, way more detail, easier to paint. Only problem is they take up a lot of space, and the action bases for 1/100 kits are mammoth.

I have one RG but its too small and will fall apart if you breath on it.

>>15268129

Anyone tried using these for cleaning panel washes? Saw some korean video using it but it's really not that good or I'm just not doing it properly and just seemed to push the paint around. I just went back to cotton buds.

My nigga, i thought i was the only one who bought this kit. The transformation is way better than mg zeta and mg delta.

>>15271175
I always loved the Rezel but I hate the fucking dicks out waist. Would have to hard-mod that shit if I ever bought one..

>>15271218
It's understandable for Zeeks to be intimidated.

>>15271218
Yeah, that thing is only good for a chuckle when you finish it and for holding the shield in waverider. There should have been a mechism to fold it in. The mg one is kind of hollow so i guess it shouldnt be too hard of a mod. Will probably require some koto joint parts

>>15271272
I was thinking just saw it off and plaplate over it LMFAO

>>15271049
I only have the Zaku II. It's one of the earlier ones, so it makes since there's some kinks.

I just think for the price, I'd rather get an MG.

>>15271324
I hate my RG Zaku II. I have never broken a kit until trying to get the leg off the Zaku II, somehow snapped the leg joint. The fucking thing falls apart if you look at it too intensely and those decals are a huge pain in the ass. Not to mention the metalic ones that start coming off 3 seconds after applying them.
Much happier with my MG Zakus and will probably never buy an RG again.

>>15271344
What. My RG Zaku II is one of my more sturdier RGs.
Much better than any of the SEED ones and miles better than the RX-78-2.
Maybe you just have a case of the hamhands.

I know right, everyone should get rid of their Zeta RGs. No body wants that piece of shit.

In fact, I'd take em off of your hands if you want.

What's are kits that come with big fucking shields? I just built a Nu HWS and discovered how sexy giant shields are.

Stein's shield is pretty massive. Uhh.. Guison Rebake?

I really think this is my favorite kit so far. Fantastic design, cool gimmicks, and he feels really sturdy. I'm honestly excited for the metal build coming out just because this one looks so good. He's sort of got me in the mood for something with massive wings, or just more guns/cannons.

Something really sleek and simple with no bells and whistles might be nice too though.

>>15272406
I agree that the rear plate is lacking in detail to a fault, but I think being able to mount the beam launcher makes up for it.

And another thing that's growing on me is his size. He's tiny compared to everything else on my shelf, and it adds a surprising amount of character.

>I'm glad to see you cleaned up that lining.
Thanks, and if you're the anon who suggested alcohol for that in a previous thread, I have to thank you again for that tip, though I was correct in assuming I needed steel wool instead of cotton swabs to scrub the excess Metallic away.
Thankfully the regular opaque colors from these acrylic paint markers don't require such extreme measures, but I think this fuck up that ultimately kept me from getting the Ritter Reinforce complete on time may explain why.

I don't know if you can see it in this photo, but there is a gunky grey residue left on these bits where the Gold paint has been semi-scrubbed off.
I'm assuming due to how well the paint sits straight out of the marker (note the hilt of the Knight Blade I have YET to fuck up) that it's some kind of leveling agent they add to the Metallics to make them paint decently.
I'm also guessing it's this same leveling agent that quickly gunks up my brushes when I pour it out and try to hand brush with it.

>Just what were you doing to fuck it up so?
Pretty much exactly what you described.

Like I've said before, the metallics of these acrylic paint markers REALLY do not want to come off, so instead of rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab you need rubbing alcohol and STEEL WOOL, and even THEN quiet a bit of scrubbing to get it off.

This actually make it really great for panel line details, as whatever paint isn't in an indent will come off first, but it becomes a nightmare when you want to do anything else with it.

>>15273190

The weathering on the knees looks pretty decent.

all I can think of.. is "why".

I can really only build one kit every couple months so like.. I only order one. I don't get why you need that much shit.

Maybe I'm just too picky in which kits I want.

>>15274158
the reason I have so much backlog is I usually buy a kit when I think I'll have ti me to build it but then usually something happened and my free time is gone. It also doesn't help that the hobby store is right next to where I play magic and in between rounds I'll stop in there to see what they have and depending on who's working they usually can convince me to get a kit. Like if it's the old guy he usually tries to get new the newest kit he can order and he always saves one behind the counter in case I want it and I can't say no to that. There's another guy around my age who works there and if he orders, he knows I like zeek suits so he tries to find a bit more obscure zeek kit that I may like or he tries to get me a p bandai at a good price like he found me a picture bandai guncannon and only charged me $1 extra than what the store paid to get it.

You could, actually. However accent already has the best consistency, so it's basically if you're up for experimentation.

Considering the location, the gunpla at midtown comics are stupidly cheap. The PG Zaku was $85

>Using steel wool on a kit?
To be fair, it is 0000, so it's for striping paint and polishing plastic...

>>15274990
>Sounds like you're using Gundam Markers, right?
Nope, don't have no fancy hobby stories here in the boonies, so I had to make do with Wal-mart sold Elmer's Painters Paint Markers.
Hence why the metallics are being such a bitch to work with, they're paint markers meant to be directly used on kitschy craft shit.

Extra large shirts are comfy.

>>15275227
Where is this store?

>>15275227
>Japanese imports next too huge shirts
they know their customer base

Tired of being a no good snapshitter, so I'm buying supplies. I don't think I'll ever do full paint jobs on kits though. That said, am I missing anything that could be useful?

>Panel Line Accent Color Black/Grey
>Enamel Thinner

I already have nippers. Thinking maybe some paint pens? Only for small details of course.

>>15275429

>>15274507
interesting topology around those corners. I've noticed spots of pinching in some areas on your previous posts, smooth your edge-flow my dude

>>15275429
>proper cutting mat

>>15275484
A nice thick piece of cardboard would do but frankly speaking I don't know what you'd use a mat for.

One of my favorite modelling tools is sanding sticks and sanding sponges.

>>15275492
Well I use plaplate desu so thats why I need it. High quality Korean nail boards work better than typical sanding sticks in my experience.

>>15275497
>plaplate

Ah, I see. Yeah, the most I do on that front is a mini Tamiya saw to hack down certain parts, though it's still a damn sight better than trying to cut with nippers. Does a Tamiya flat saw work on those too?

>>15275227
>not organized
So close.

>>15275522
I'd assume so, my step-dad is a toolmaker by trade so I just asked him for a really really tiny handsaw.. works amazingly.

>>15275257

That specific one was in Times Square

>>15275267

I have no idea how anybody could be fat in the city desu. Nobody owns a car

Next groupbuild will start in April most likely. Scheduling right now is probably gonna be

>Graze entries posted tomorrow, voting for winner starts then
>Voting ends on Monday, winner announced on Tuesday
>Sometime in the middle of march I'll see what groupbuild ideas you guys can come up with and poll which ones you guys like the best
>Groupbuild announced a few days before April, officially starts on the 1st.

Next groupbuild won't be suit-themed again, however (LIke a GM build or a Zaku build)

Aww gay, I want to see the graze builds. How many entries have been put so far.

>>15275653
Looks like about 15 from the blurry picture here >>15274654

>>15275618
you already got a list of groupbuild ideas already?
i would love to try a "mythological" build

>>15275658
You mean like knights and dragons and such custom builds?

>>15275653
Gotta leave some element of surprise for you guys. You'll see em in a few hours when a new thread is made, so it's not that long of a wait

>>15275658
Here's the list of the runner-up groupbuild ideas from the last poll

>Zeekbuild (Build a custom MS using a Zeon MS from the OYW as a base (Deviations of OYW suits in later shows like the Zaku FZ, Gelgoog Marine, or Gouf R35 are alright)
>Melee Groupbuild (Build a melee-focused MS without any beam/projectile weapons)
>Coldsteel Groupbuild (Build an Edgy mobile suit, and give it an appropriately edgy backstory to go with it)
>Oldschool Groupbuild (Build a custom MS using any kit released before the year 2000 as a base)

Zeekbuild probably won't be in due to being similar to the Graze one, but the others might be options. You guys are free to come up with ideas for the next one

>>15275673
MG Group Build

Just build a good Master Grade

I have a few group build ideas

>bearguy build (build an entirely custom bearguy and make it pure original)
>artillary build (build any MS and make it have the most firearms possible)
>girly build (make the most faggy, gayest and prissiest looking MS ever)

Non gundam group build lets go

>>15275673
Sportsbuild (Pick a sport and build an MS to represent it)

>>15275695
/toy/ just did that
they got three entries total
probably didnt help that it ran concurrently with this one

its not like i could kitbash a graze and a ship into some sort of kancolle graze or anything...

>>15275701
Who is bigger us or toy?

>>15275748
The /m/ threads move a lot faster and have at least twice as many posters.

>>15275748
/toy/'s just a slower board than /m/ in general. Although they do also seem to have more active jannys/mods.

>Bought 00 Raiser

>White Dingo in May
Life is good, /m/en

>>15275674
I have fucktons of MGs, I'd be glad to do this.

>>15275758
Providence is coming out this month, right? Unless you want the Devilarts one.

>>15275748
/toy/'s threads came first, and the /m/ threads are a copy/extension of those. and the guide in both ops are managed by gelgoog guy, the guy who also manages the /toy/ threads.

regardless though the /m/ threads tend to move quicker, and the previous /toy/ groupbuild had many more entries, so it may be a combination of both winter months and non-gundam stuff that threw people off.

>>15275763
It comes out this month but my supplier gets it on April. Good thing I get it cheaper than market price.

>>15275771
Yeah, it's coming out on the 23rd, which is like, a week away from next month so it's not a huge deal.

So I airbrushed chrome silver on top of gloss black on top of airbrushed fine surface primer, all tamiya, on a few spoons for practice. The black coat had pretty heavy orange peeling, but the people I showed this to say they can't see any orange peeling on the silver coat whatsoever.

Am I doing this alright, or am I going about it wrong?
