Is one of those arms sword jobbies reversed? I'm not familiar with this kit.

>>15318759
Thanks for that.
I tried to manage the panel lining better, but I can't seem to get it any finer with a gundam marker. I tried the gray marker, but the white on the Spiegel gundam is kinda gray anyhow, so it washes out pretty easily.

The nubs were kinda tricky for me as this was one of my first kits. My biggest problem was the flash on the hands. They're rubber, so it doesn't shave off easily, and it flexes too much for my nippers to grab onto. I'm probably going to just order some extra 1/100 hands.

Gonna try to top coat this week. The only thing available locally is testor's dullcote, but I've got some semi gloss I ordered a while back. I thought I could semi gloss, apply decals, and then matte coat.

And yes, one of the blades is reversed. I must've missed it when I was posing.

Any advice is appreciated.

>>15318885
As always, thoroughly test new paints on a bit of spare runner/sprue just to make sure it won't eat your particular kit's plastics.

Give each paint layer its full cure time to help avoid awful problems. It takes patience to cut that risk down, so if it feels like it's taking longer than it should, is ok.

>>15318895
Any advice for the panel lining? Can it get any better with the gundam marker, or do I need to just try panel washing?

>>15318926
You can always lighten up/thin out panel lines with solvent and a q-tip cotton bud, until you cap it with flat clearcoat. That stuff sponges up panel lining in a bad way if you try to panel line after flatting.

Panel washing is indeed awesome.

>>15318950
Noted. I tried pointed q tips and alcohol last night, but I felt like it was too thin/messy looking. Maybe I'll try again tonight and post some pictures for criticism.

>>15318975
No harm done! You can always strip and try with a little less or a little more until you're happy with it.

if you switch to washing, you can mix up a correct graytone for your Spiegel.

Why can't we be like this?

>>15318926
3mm mechanical pencil is how I started. There's an official gundam one, but any will do. That's only for the white parts though.

Also real touch markers with q-tips. You just have to keep in mind that real touch are meant for smearing with a q-tip. Watch some vids on Youtube.

There's also panel line ink, I forget what's its called. But basically you drop it into the crevasses and it spreads out on it's own. Never used it though.

>>15319483
I've heard the terms "very good", "solidly put together", and "poseable" used to describe it. I don't have it but it seems like the kit itself is very good.

Top-down view, imagine the Dendro missile boxes containing the visible axle. The Meteor Units will serve as vectorable winglets; their engines can pitch noseup or down to help the mobile armor maneuver more rapidly.

>>15319531
Dendrobium+Meteor? You must have a big room. You should connect them to the Neo Zeong too.

Right? The more the merrier....at least when it comes to dakka (imo).

>>15319511
really like the color scheme so far. might be because of the picture, but the gold on the thighs look a bit grainy. my main question is what happened to your manuel

>>15319561
It's not that grainy, but I think it's the future + the lighting on the picture.

As for the manual, I accidentally spilled some dish soap on it ( I was washing some parts in the sink and had the manual next to me for whatever reason). I left it and the parts overnight to dry and it stuck to the counter Went to pick it up and then it ripped.

>>15319511
Thank goodness you didn't go overboard on preshading. I think it looks ameijin.

Good choice, the Ɐ Gundam was my grail for a while, and I'm more than happy with it.

Few tips:
Panel line the thing, preferably with black. It honestly looks too plain without panel lining.

The yellow clear piece looks like it can easily pop off. It does, and it's up to you whether or not you want to thicken it.

The green in the forehead is a dry transfer. Honestly just paint it in.

Painting the cow is mandatory.

>>15320590
>>15320598
Honestly, as the person who complained about the pre-Christmas order myself, the only issue I ever had was them accidentally not sending some of the extra weapon sets during a campaign when they still had supplies.

>>15320529
I honestly don't know why people think MGs are a good idea for your first kit.

>>15320609
Maybe it's their first gunpla but not their first model kit.

If I had the choice back then I would've started with MGs.

>starting with a MG
Nice, you have balls
>>15320432
Make a tarp with garbage bags put it on the wall and use your bathroom maybe, wear a mask too.

>>15320636
I started with an MG, there's nothing inherently harder with them. It's just more pieces and I guess more of a risk if you fuck up because of the price tag.

RGs are hard though just because there's 1000 pieces and their all small as fuck. At least with MGs most of the parts are pretty large. They are also easier to detail and shit, again because of the size.

>>15320641
do RGs even need extra detailing? They're already super detailed

>>15319548
Marry me

>>15320658
It's not like they are panel lined or anything.

You could display an RG out of the box, then again you COULD do it with any kit. Granted an undetailed RG would look nicer than an undetailed HG, it might even look better than an undetailed MG because the size is small enough for it to go unnoticed and there's a lot of color separation on the parts.

By detailing I mean:
painting
shading
panel lining
decaling
weathering

You may or may not do one or more of those.

>>15320658
other than panel lining, not really

I love the look of a finished RG, but Jesus they're a chore to build.

I'd probably never bother with them if the payoff wasn't worth it.

So I've been playing that new Ghost Recon: Wildlands game lately, and I've got a HG Jesta and Jesta Cannon in my backlog, so I thought it'd be cool to make a special forces MS squad.

I'll probably just do them up as a 4 or 5 suit squad. What would be cool to go with the two, other than more Jestas? I'm thinking Jegan ECOAS is an obvious choice for #3, but for #4 maybe something more specialized? My ideas so far are either a GM Sniper II or, to get a little more "elite custom unit" style going on, the GM Sniper K9 from the Build Fighters line. Assuming I go five man unit, the last one seems like it should be some leader type, going with some kind of Gundam for the unit leader isn't out of the question but feels too... stereotypical, either way I'm thinking either Delta Plus, Zeta Plus, or ReZEL Commander Type. Though I think something non-transformable would make more sense, to fit in better with the rest of the squad?

So the squad would be:
Jesta
Jesta Cannon
Jegan ECOAS
GM Sniper II OR GM Sniper K9
And some kind of leader.

Then after that I gotta worry about decals and other coolness.

>>15321432
Well, keep that passion burning bright. I look forward to updates.
Part of me wants to suggest the Byarlant Custom for the leader, but that's me thinking about having a replacement for the drone and thinking it'd be cool to have the leader be the one who takes to the skies and gets in the back-line. It's not really meant for squad action ala Ghost Recon.
Although I've yet to see the original Byarlant in action so what do I know really

You could also go with the Loto:
(http://schizophonic9.com/hgucloto.html)
Or the 1/100 R44 Guntank that succeeds it:
http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/F-50D_Guntank_R-44

Charm points being that it's smaller than the other suits and less advanced, yet it's the leader. Lots of tactical looking features and you can customize it. Also as the leader it's meant to stay back since it's their get-the-hell-out-of-Dodge machine since it can carry multiple people if the need arises.

Well as you can see from my picture, you can actually deck out BOTH, since you get doubles of the optional equipment as well, so I have one fire support with cannons and machine guns while the other is a close support with mega vulcans.

The colour balance is off here and it looks a lot better on the RD promo pics and this video, I find:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcVWCC4vs7U [Embed]
I'll freely admit to my bias of liking green, meaningful optional parts and just having 2 separate looks in one package.

Fortunately I can mount the shoulder canon without much green exposure when it's beside the RX-78-2, I mean 02, when they're ready.
Just love how the 0 Gundam mixes 2 different Gundam series. 3 if they'd give us the GN wings for that feathery look though different from EW Wing Zero

I also enjoy the proportions and how beefed up it looks, I know the green isn't objectively good with those colors but I'm capable of seeing it as a necessary evil rather than and eyesore. Still a damn shame there's no 1/144 for use on other suits, like the Dynames.

On that note, I was wondering if it was actually possible to have armor pre-saturated with GN particles to the point of looking like/providing Trans-Am, albeit for a far shorter time and being incapable of generating more on its own. Basically an excuse for the green parts to be Trans-Am colors.

>>15322298
The Shin is more like if someone showed Sy'ds Turn A to a late 90's sentai robot designer and told them to make slight changes.

i'd say your metallic paint was too watery, causing the paint to not stick. i think it looks fine, giving that "shaded" effect, but some parts like >>15323080 may need another go and use a q-tip to wipe the excess like here >>15323092

>>15323185
>>15323172
I showed it to a friend, and he said to roll with it also. It's some testor's spray acrylic on tamiya lacquer primer. I may just finish the frame off with it and see how it looks. If it's not complete ass, it'll be under armor anyways.

Primary white with secondary/tertiary orange/grey always looks pretty good. I'll admit, I'm not that good with color schemes. Maybe you could go for a military/camouflage scheme? I think that would give it a sort of Metal Gear vibe.

The arms actually do fold up into a neat compact square and can be swivelled into the empty space below the graze shoulder pieces.

I'll grab a pic of that when i get home from work tonight,

I do intend for it to be a space type, I have some empty space on his back where I can throw in afew thrusters and a pair of booster tanks. Was also thinking between having these raptor graze ein legs, or the long pointy woundwort type space legs. The best would be a combination of both. Space legs are my fetish.

Waterslides included with the Providence Premium.

Literally nothing on it is made specifically for the Providence, only for the other SEED kits.

Bandai baffles me sometimes, but at least you get a whole bunch of decals you can use on other kits, right?

>>15324682
Opposite, these water slides didnr exist before for the other kits. So they eent through the trouble of making shit up for other products to throw into this one

>>15324716
It's a clever way to get people to buy the Providence for more than the asking price.

Pretty shit move, but it's a shit move I can respect.

Do you think we'll get a mg #200 poll this year?

>>15324737
There will be a poll, but bandai most likely has already decided on what they're going to make already. The poll will just be to build hype.

I'm no expert on this, but I believe what you would want to be doing is mixing Tamiya enamels to make your own purple panel wash, no?

I'm betting on a G-Self as the 200th MG for the same reason. My only question is what equipment they'll give it; I'm thinking the Perfect Pack and matching shield is likely, but aesthetically my favorite pack was the Atmosphere Pack and favorite shield was the one it used in space.

It's P nice but iirc i had to put a tiny bit of blu tack between the kit and the stand because it wanted to fall backwards or forwards.

>>15324678

Quite happy I didn't get the premium then...

>>15325028
I hope, the G-self is one of my favourite suits and the HG is horrible.

I got a robot spirits one which is okay, but nothing special.

>>15324760
I wanted to do this with panel lining, but didn't think it'd be doable with a pink panel lining pen in Vidar's blue. Maybe if I'd gloss coated first.

Hey, if grandpa there can look as good as most others in their prime without a HEAD, I believe you can gain some satisfying results yet.

Heck, make it another test-type, paint it your own colors if you feel the 'purity' of the RX-78-2 is completely lost to this kit.
Call it the [O]RX-78-2 or the RX-78-2O, the O stands for 'Oops', and put a tiny tape logo with the same word curdely written on it a la ODST Mickey's helmet somewhere, possibly on the spot of the mistake.

It's not the Gundam that makes the man, it's the man that makes the Gunpla! The beast of possibility lives in you!

>>15323636
Love truly is a crazy thing. There's lots of both of those qualities in this build so far. Let's see it reach a crazy good finish.

>>15324005
Second verse, same as the first. It's looking quite nice indeed.

>>15324440
As would I, provided the story didn't drag down the action in the sense that it wasn't good enough. I don't personally mind not having a ton of action sequences if the story aside from it is good.

>>15324711
Oh this is bullshit, would it kill them to make that a regular release?

Looking at this makes me think of the Millennium Falcon, which in turn makes me surprised there hasn't been a Gundam (as far as I know) where the pilot can go into a ship-like back-pack from the Gundam itself, as opposed to a core fighter.

It's really not a dealbreaker, anon.

If you know what you're doing it's pretty much a non-issue.

>>15325607
i got a zaku 2.0 early on, the review praised the hell out of its articulation.
when i built mine the legs kept falling, no matter what.
the peg that links that hip seem awfully thin for such a thick leg

>>15325241
its the same waist/hip joint as the Freedom 2.0, so it seems it may be a bit fragile if you are not careful

>>15325618
I know. Like what I said in >>15325607, it's not a dealbreaker.

>>15325617
It's the same peg on the Freedom 2.0, and I can attest that they're tighter than you think.

The perspective on the picture makes it look weird. I guess its a normal-shaped MS that rides a beam frisbee?

Oh yeah, here's a picture. It is 19.4 meters tall, so no manlet. Zanscare MS are so strange, I kind of love it. I don't remember this suit though, I'm only on episode 34 so I guess it hasn't shown up yet.

I just picked up a few more sets of Gundam Markers. I already have the Feddie and Zeon color sets. I picked up metallic since I've been wanting to paint the yellow sections on my kits gold, and the two real touch marker sets for weathering. First set seems to be your standard color set where as the second one has more earth and dirt tones. How well do the real touch markers work for weathering? I wanna try them out and have an idea of how it'll look when I weather my Ground Gundam.

Personally I like all grazes, but the Reginlaze I like less than the others.
