**MELEE GROUP BUILD**

Build/paint a robot with a loadout focused on melee combat! Anything from shields to swords to lances to axes to bare fists is fair game. There's no room for ranged weaponry here, however, so anything resembling a rifle, Rocket Launcher, cannon, pistol, or any other ranged weapon is a no-go (Small ranged weapons that are built into the kit itself like head vulcans are ok, however).

More clarification here:
>If the body part has a built-in ranged weapon (head/chest vulcans, claw beams, etc), then that's fine. If it's a separate part like the Alex's arm vulcans it's best to leave those off.
>Melee weapons with in-universe ranged capabilities (Like the Kimaris's lance or the Gyan's shield) are fair game too.
>Any scale and any brand is fair game here, you're not limited to just using Gundams this time around.

First painting attempt, what do you think? I used the Gusion because I don't care about it too much and I thought that its colour would be a good way for sperimentation.
I used acrylics. First a very light silver base coat, then a more decise bronze layer and gold as the last in order to get a metallic colour more similar to the one in the anime.
Some dirty spots are there on purpose, I don't want it to look too clean so I left them instead of correct.
Would a light weathering on the edge give a more badass look?
Also the photo may not be the best, but using the flash would give a poorer representation because it would reflect the light and accentuate the spots painted less well

this is a great habit, since you get tons of minimum risk denubbing and sanding practice on internals where even if you fuck up it'll just get covered

I think it'd look cooler if the white parts were tan, and the light yellow was a more vibrant yellow orange.

Anon, I know this will sound crazy, but next time you do bullet holes, heat up the metal part of a thumbtack over a candle. Stick that sucker in there and twist-wiggle it around a bit to get some plastic goop over the sides. Paint the hole black and the now-hard goop silver. Weather as you see fit and enjoy your tasty bullet holes!

I actually didn't have any flash on the hands for these. I remember seeing yours a few weeks back and was fearing the worst. I got lucky I guess. I am using some new nippers so they cut off nicely.

Spiegel was my favorite when I was a kid watching G gundam, so when I started getting into Gunpla this year, it was the first Master Grade I did. Really wish I could go back and redo it, but i still like it. My only complaint is the hands have terrible flash and I fucked them up trying to remove it.

>>15418211
That sounds really good. Hopefully mine is relatively flash free when it gets here.

The only part I actually painted on the Spiegel was the V fin and all of the other yellow pieces since they aren't anywhere near the right color. I just used a gold Sharpie because I'm lazy.

Here it is with said gold paint and a shitty panel lining before I fixed it

>>15418223

Does anyone have experience with the Tamiya Weathering Master sets? I've recently acquired a couple of different sets and I don't want to start fucking up any models before figuring out how to use them properly.

I've never done weathering before, the most I've ever done is panel lining and a topcoat, so it's time to level up. Someone told me these were pretty easy to use and you can get decent results with them, but most weathering "tutorials" I've found just offhandedly mention that these are easy to use then go on to talk about completely different methods.

>>15418923
search youtube or buy a cheap kit

>>15418923
Read what the elements are on each of the tamiya sets and figure out where to apply the different weathering...things. For example you'd probably want to use soot near something's exhaust, sand and mud would go on the feet of something, etc. You should pay attention to those tutorials as they're probably covering techniques using paint over the actual weathering kits, but they'll still show you what kind of weathering goes where.

Does it matter if it's matte or gloss? I've heard somewhere that decals adhere better to a matte coat. Then you can just gloss over the whole thing after decals.

Hello anons, I have a problem with my Turn A MG.

I builded that thing months ago, then i had to travel oversees and stood there for a while, so sorry about the dust in advance.

The problem is within the arms, the attachment on the elbow joint is weird, it doesn't hold up, if I keep its arms raised they will stay in place, but as long as I try to lower them the just fall apart.

I tried everything months ago, But I just gave up, also because I had to go, but know I want to resolve this problem once and for all. Any ideas?

>>15420535
Other way around. You shouldn't put decals on a matte coat since the surface isn't smooth.

Are the Gouf Custom and EZ-8 MG kits worth buying? Or should I just get the HG that came out a few years back?

Good to know. Thanks. I think I'm gonna weather the Jesta. I should top coat, weather top coat, right? Or is it okay to just panel line, decal, weather, and then top coat?

>>15420572

Depends on how you're doing the weathering. if you are using weathering kits you should flat coat first so that it actually sticks to the kit, but if you are using drybrushing you can do so before flat coating, makes it easier to remove any mistakes.

>>15420546
>>15420555

i'm sure you tried this already but did u try pushing the arms up more to get the PACHI/clicking sound?

if it doesn't work try sticky tak, pinning the joints

Probably going to use the weathering kits for the rust, black, silver colors. I'm considering marking the shield up with bullet holes and putting some scratches on the armor with a file. Then I'd fill them with black/silver as needed.

I guess you top coat after that right? To keep it all contained?

>>15420580
I tried more than once to push the arms upwards with all my strenght, it did a clicking sound, but not always, and it would never go more up than this. Here, another video were I show the joint directly.
It may seem that I apply some force to move the joint, but that's not true. I doesn't even have the flexibility to touch the shoulder with the hand, and that's weird because I saw it was able to do that in reviews videos.

>MG #198 ZZ Ver. Ka
>MG #199 Only Derringer knows My bet's a Jim
>MG #200 G-Self
According to Derringer the ZZ Ver. Ka's not for December, but he also mentioned that this year's highest profile release will be something from Star Wars. So MG #200's probably coming some time in 2018.

Built my first Gunpla. Was between buying this or a ZAKU, and figured the latter would be even more common to find.

Coming from having only done 40k models before, I really appreciate not needing glue or much paint. On the other hand, fuck stickers and those things that make up his arms and legs.

>>15421727
You'll like Master Grades, I can tell.

>>15421734
Oh? Guessing that's because of the optional decals?

>>15421760
That and they're designed to be even less reliant on paint than HGs.

>>15421006
aren't we due for a MG Atlas Gundam sooner or later? I imagine it will probably be after all of the OVA episodes has been released.

>>15421760
master grades very rarely need paint at all. they newer ones especially only need eye stickers at most. also they are generally more detailed and better quality

I will always wish for the Stargazer to have an MG.

Is G-Self Perfect pack is really as bad what people said? Any opinion from someone who built it aside for Snapfit-kun?

Is there a list of third-party manufacturers?
I've picked up Zaku talking about some of them in his videos but I often can't tell how to spell the names

>>15421006
It's going to be MG Barbatos for 200. Or maybe the Tristan

>>15419223

>>15419213
I want a 2.0 of the gp series or 08th ms team suits.
But i bet its one of the new mobile suits / novel design/ a beloved design.

Wait it could be the xi gundam.

>>15422036
It's actually not that bad. It needs a lot of color/sticker apps to be accurate, but it's fairly good. It feels solid, a lot of the places that need color touch-ups are molded so as to ease painting, the clear blue pieces look nice, the Perfect Pack itself is articulate enough for what it is, and it gives you a buttload of stickers to help be more accurate. The biggest complaints about the G-Reco kits come from their over-reliance on stickers and the sub-par articulation, especially when compared to their contemporary HGUC counterparts that were kits being released as part of the All Gundam Project or the Revive sublines. If you're up to painting the details and don't mind the ~90 degree arm/leg bends, they're fairly nice

Meanwhile no one complains about the ~100 degree arm/leg bends on many IBO kits. Although fair enough the inner frame gimmick helps balance things out, and people gave both Rebakes shit for being unrepentant sticker-fests.

>>15420735
Not tht anon but yeah that is weird.

Well, a Revive Zeta hasn't been released yet, being slated for for April 20th. And technically it's part of the Axcelerated Evolution subline instead of the Revive subline, but that's just nitpicking.

you may have the ballshaped part of the joint swapped. try swapping upper arm joint sides, that wasn't a problem for me once i heard the audible click of it securing into place, even hamhanding occasionally doesn't fug those elbows up.

No, it's just that the RX-78-2 is the first in the line and shit happens to the first in the line. Should've gotten the 3.0 instead.

Gonna assume you mean the GP01. The Mark II is a solid RG, probably one of the best ones in the line. The GP01 is a bit fiddlier because of the core fighter gimmick. The upper half tends to fall off easily. But they're both leagues above the RX-78-2.

>GP02

You mean GP01FB?

The top portion of the torso sits super loosely on top of the corefighter waist and falls off super easily, but topcoating it or standard joint tightening techniques on the pegs fixes this issue thanks to the added friction.

The mkII is all around solid.

I overdetailed the frame for Barbatos. I should have taken the simpler route I did with the Grimgerde frame.

They look so good together.

>>15426605
I don't think that's overdetailed at all, I quite like the look of the barb frame man.

Why would i care? I'm a FAG.

We must be due some announcements soon. IBO has nothing left except for dantalion and astaroth, we still have no sign of the ZZ or the other new mg for December and all we have out of twilight axis is Tristan and that shitty p bandai zaku iii from 16 years ago.

My first ever painting purchase for a airbrush landman rodi:
>H11 Flat White (acrylic)
>H24 ORANGE YELLOW (acrylic)
>C28 Steel (lacquer)
>Thinner: Mr.Hobby T104 Thinner 400ml
>Primmer: SF-289 Mr.Surfacer 1500 40ml

Top coat: H20 Flat Clear (acrylic)

Tell me /m/, is this ok.
My airbrush and air compressor are on the way, really looking to paint for the first time.

>>15423232
If they do that they should AT LEAST give it the armor components to become the GN-000FA.

How much of a handgrenade is the RG chars zaku? I bought it several years ago as one of my earlier kits. I saw the springs for the pipes and instantly put the kit in the deepest of my shelves.

>>15427021

Simply put, unless you're buying a MK-II, don't expect any sort of stability out of a an RG kit.

>>15427025

I've built several RG:s and I know how they are. I'm just afraid of the pipes more or less exploding on this kit specifically, leaving me looking for pipe parts for days.

>>15427031
I didn't have any problems with the pipes on mine, even pulling on them when they're fully assembled they hold up pretty well.

>>15427019
Nope, MG 0 Gundam will have not one but TWO p-bandai expansion sets.

One for the GN particle wings,
one for the FA parts.

Fuck you Bandai.
We're lucky the 00 Raiser HG, PG and MG at least came out well before Bandai started p-Bandai-ing every little add-on.
P-Bandai was already a thing, just not as prevalent as it is now.

I suppose all the Raiser Sword effect parts were included in RG 00 Raiser only because they were included in the HG, PG, and MG, so Bandai couldn't bullshit not including them in the RG.

If 00 aired today, perhaps the whole 0 Raiser would be a separate p-Bandai pack.

>>15427104

I wonder what scale that is

>>15427107
a star destroyer is 1600m long

according to my bad math and judging from the look it looks around 1/2000 or more?

>>15427104

I need to know how wide it is, at least between the edge of the base + one side. If it's too wide I have no idea of where I could display it.

when this weapon set releases, the little round light will look incredible on top of a hi-mock's head, and its backpack can hold the spare weapons and long lights, I think I'll make a police variant

Any tips ?

Why the fuck is it so badly red/yellow shifted? Did you add a filter?

Never add a filter over natural light dude.

>>15427471
That bokeh is gross and it's distracting my eyes form the kit.

I get the feeling it would look a lot better with panel lining

>>15427741
The flowers behind are still in focus to much. Try using a wider aperture to get them to but out of focus but not completely blurred out.

>>15427788
Yeah, always isolate your subject from the background. Otherwise your attention is drawn away from your subject. Also I can see how chewed up the plastic is from what appears to be a file and rough marks all around. Just something to be aware of when taking photos in good light. It'll highlight every little issue.

Do you guys exclusively buy online or buy over priced kits at your local hobby to shop to 'support small businesses' ?

>>15427806
I buy at my local hobby shop with the permanent 20% off sale.

>>15427799
I was just talking to a buddy of mine about rule of third, def going to utilize this info for my wing when I finally finish the stickers. Will hopefully be able to shoot today, fortunately it doesn't have any issues panel lining or paint. Crest piece broke though so hat looks like shit but I'll just have it look at something

I don't even have an ordinary hobby shop nearby, I buy my paint for handbrushing from a /tg/ shop.

Im a Leaf and Gunpla tend to be over priced as fuark in stores.

>>15427806
I bought my first kit from a local hobby shop for like 4 times the price of it online with shipping included.
I only buy online now.
I'm a hue btw.
