What is the worst kit you guys have built? For me it has to be V-Dash ver ka. If you fucking look at it wrong it breaks apart, I am scared to even touch it because it is so unstable. Can barely hold it's small rifle and even just an idle pose is frustrating. It's not just me either, I've never heard good things about this kit outside of people just liking Victory's look in general.

SazabiAnon here with a WIP shot of my first HG kitbash.

I'm looking for a cheap way that I can get a pair of swing arm shields. I'd like to not drop $20 on a Powered GM Cardigan or Thunderbolt kit. I also don't have any experience with pla plate.

Any tutorials or cheap kits out there that would be up my alley?

Does anyone use a printer for custom gunpla parts here? do you think its worth buying a cheap printer for that?

Hgbc sets. Specifically powered arms powerder, battle arms, skull weapon, or even bolden arms if you just need the manipulator arms and not shields. They each come with parts to make articulated swing arms and the pegs can plug directly into the 3mm polycap hole most shields use. The skull and battle arm sets also have little claws that can clip onto handles.

>>15596129
I hate his face why the fuck is there a piece of armor just in front of his eye

>>15596101
Do you have matching shields you want to use from the kits you have or are you looking specifically for those old EFSF shields? If the former you can buy the Powered Arms Powereder and get the folding arms.

So the top looks like shit, desu. Even though I've already top-coated it, is there an way to fix this?

>>15596244
I dont think you went light enough with your coats of green. Light multiple layers of paint, my man. See if you can strip it and try again. Look up stripping paint from gunpla so you don't ruin the plastic with thinner.

If this is your first time painting, do it on a cheaper kit like a Hi-Mock or something along that price range.

>>15596254
So, for stripping I found a tip for either soaking it in rubbing alcohol or spaying with windex. Also yeah, it's my first time and this kit was only about $5 so I thought "what the hell". For the parts that are going to stay white like the limbs, would it be easier to just use white primer and topcoat that?

>>15596244
>>15596244
try brakes fluid soak it in for a day and then brush

>>15596262
Yeah, I use rubbing alcohol too, but I paint with acrylics so i didnt want to suggest it.

i never used rattlecans for gundam so maybe someone else can give input, but my baseless advice is that white primer and topcoat should work?

First time hand painting, but does this seem to be too thick? I'm going to clean up the edges if you guys think it looks okay.
I'm having a hard time judging what's considered too thin/thick .

>>15596835
this looks too thick imo

remember that the reason for thinning your paint is to achieve a result that doesn't look "globby" or show brush marks. It seems tedious but if you get a colour on in one or two coats, then it's probably too thin. I would say 3 is the minimum with dark colours like black, but expect to do a lot more with lighter ones. If you can get it, try using some drying retarder and maybe even a bit of flow-aid so that the paint has more time to kinda even out before drying. Also, let the paint dry for an hour between coats depending on your paint. You should never get full coverage with your first application.

Drying retarder and flow-aid aren't 100% necessary but they make things easier.

I use them for small touch up details after I'm done spraying. If I'm feeling lazy, I use them to paint unpainted areas of a sanded snap kit.

>>15596901
i think they are just kinda beginner mode for adding small details. part of me thinks that the only ones that are relevant are the flowing ones and the pen type ones for panel lining. Only times I've heard of people using the actual paint markers are because they didn't want to use stickers or wanted to cover up nub marks.

>>15596914
the build is neat, and the transformation is nice. Problem comes from the plamo plastic which isn't sturdy enough for a transforming figure. The armor is also just kind of tabbed on and wrapped around but it still feels like it might fall off. I'd get it if you really liked Frontier.

The delta stuff is much more sturdy since it's newer, but they're ugly as hell. Delta stuff also has a stupid easy transformation which helps with stability.

Hey Blast. Thanks a lot dude. I voted for you. Much love for fist-fighters,my man.

>>15597121
The issue that I have with it is the red paint. The grey is fine, and I haven't seen your reasons for painting it the way you did, but are the red bits meant to also be weathered? Damaged in some way? It looks much too unnatural. The red paint itself doesn't look like it was layered on properly, like it's "sticky" looking in some way. It's not solid? I have a hard time describing what I'm looking at, but the red paint application looks unnatural. I think you could've chosen a better color scheme overall. That's just my two cents, though.

I feel the same way Anon. The idea of participating in a group build seems fun to me, but there are a lot of nice customs in each competition. I don't have the infrastructure to get into painting due to apartment life, so my entry is limited to a base build with detailing painting, decal setting, and a finishing coat. I see people here say you shouldn't even post here if you are just doing a base build, so I don't imagine something like that would be welcome for the competition.

So my boyfriend and I went to my local arcade and won two petit'gguy, which we went home and made. I'm an amateur who only fucks with HG/HGUC, and it was his very first gunpla, but I'm so proud of how they turned out!

>>15597142
I feel that. honestly, I don't have an airbrush, so that's all rattle cans and handpainting. The Red is spray enamel and the grey is 1-coat primer. Yes, I did weather the red bits, and I guess I was proud of it till now? Anyway, weathering the grey bits the same way proved difficult cuz the silver I was using to weather just doesn't show up well on it. Honestly, I'm completely stumped on how to make grey look weathered. Gold too. I had it unweathered like the Hercules special at one point but thought it was time to finally try my hand at gettin' in some practice at weathering. Anyway, I think I learned my lesson about only weathering one color. Should have figured out a good way to weather the grey cuz having only one color weathered confuses the viewer via inconsistency.
Thanks for the feedback, dude!

>>15597602
I think a rusty color would have shown up better on the gray.

Is the Rouei THICC enough for the groupbuild?
I only have him and Helmwige to consider and the latter is mostly just top heavy rather than full on THICC.
Also have a Kimaris Vidar and he does seem to fit the bill.

>>15598248
Compared to other IBO suits, Rouei is obese.

>>15598316
I've always appreciate how Teiwaz remembered to put armor on their mobile suits' waists.

>>15598332
desu I think that the battles in IBO are rigged, that's why you never see anyone aim for the waist, despite it being out in the open and vulnerable

>>15598240
I still don't understand how Gyanko's swimsuit works,

I mean if it makes you feel any better I'm planning on entering a 1/100 Virtue If I ever finish it that is haha.

Only thing that might get me in trouble though is that I'm planning on seeing how leaving off most of the Virtue's armour on the waist/chest looks, and I'm definitely not using the Virtue faceplate because I don't like the look of it.

It's shit, what are you going to do about it ?

>>15596468

>>15598332

The reason they dont attack the waist is because the frame is literally that fucking durable, and the waist is the thickest part of that durable ass frame.

Most kills in IBO are strait up cockpit shots leaving most if not all of the rest of the suit intact. The only things that manage to straight up lop limbs off not at a joint are the gundams themselves and only when they are armed with top tier weaponry or are going fucking fast like when kimaris jousts through someone. or Dainslaif which is made out of the same materiel as the frame in the first place

Well the only Thick suit I got that's not built is a Rodi so I guess i'm building that. I think I'm gonna make it arctic themed. Maybe Soviet winter camo or something along those lines.

I would love to do a Kondou graze but I dont have the skill nor plaplate for that monstrosity

>>15598332
>>15598362
Mobile suit frames in IBO are made out of the kind of shit other shows would make armor out of, and the "armor" the IBO MSs have is just extra surface area for the nano-laminate coating.

The frames are super durable as it is, which is why it's not that big a deal to fully cover the entire thing.

Looking up at my Origin, my personal recommendation is to get a torso light to use with the clear piece. Otherwise go with the stickers I'd say.The eyes are actually sunk in pretty deep due to the brim of his helmet, so foil behind plastic probably won't show up that well.

>>15600112
>>15600147
Actually the foil behind the eyes of the RX-78-2 revive in particular actually looks extremely good. If is any sort of light source whatsoever they shine pretty damn brightly, can see them lit up from all the way across the room.

Fresh off the snap-log, it's the Jegan Normal type from F91. Nice kit, not much of a step-up from the regular Jegan but worth the price tag if it's less than 40$.

And while I really like the darker color scheme, that was completely unintentional. I meant to go for a more vibrant purple to match my Zaku, but couldn't mix a purple red blue & white that didn't look too neutral.

Working on my group build. Swapped the propellant tanks it comes with out for the builders parts ones. Also managed to find the missing arm piece that was bugging me. Other than scribing some more panels in a few areas I don't think I'll do much more to it.

Beginner here with a couple of questions

1. There will be a 1/100 Gundam Atlas?
2. Where do I buy 1/100 weapons? I've checked on ebay but I can only find expensive metal weapons, not packs with lot of them

>>15601078
1. Maybe but don't hold your breath.
2. Kotobukiya but scale to Bandai 1/100 is not guaranteed

>>15601078
There is no current plan announced for a 1/100 Atlas but Katoki making something wouldn't surprise me.

Bandai doesn't really make 1/100 weapon sets like they do with 1/144. Koto makes some 1/100 weapons but they are mostly sized for their own kits and can be hit or miss with gundams in terms of size.

>>15601052

Are you using acrylics?

Enamels and lacquers dry fast enough that this shouldn't really be a problem.

Either way, I would drill a couple of holes in the side so you can stack them.

Finished this like over a week ago. I should really have used brown for the preshading instead of black as the black kinda makes the shading look green, and probably not have painted the monoeye clear red because it just disappears unless it's in a really good angle.

Other than those issues I'm fairly satisfied with it as a second airbrushed and first preshaded kit.

Looks really nice. Next time paint silver behind the clear color to make it pop better and catch the light.

Also have you considered trying out chipping effects? I think it would really add to the look of that paint job and kit.

>>15601222
You can't picture how what would work? Stacking boxes or air flowing sideways?

Unless your acrylic is alcohol based, acrylics take a few minutes to be dry to the touch, multiple days for the water to dry out, and a week to cure. So if you keep them sealed up that water can't go anywhere.

>>15601281
The stacking. I imagine that the containers would stack regardless of holes.

>>15601263

Yeah I could probably have done the silver trick, question is if that's something you can handbrush in or if I need to do that with airbrush as well? I mean, brush strokes shouldn't be visible on the inside of the piece, right? Also, I'm not sure if it would look good on this particular piece due to the shape (see image).

As for weathering, I have messed around with it a little before but I find it easy to make mistakes that don't look good.

>>15601284

If the holes are on top you would most likely block the holes when stacking, wouldn't you?

That "20% off" thing on most of them is based off the kits msrp, which is around the same amount hlj usually takes off anyways. They just basically took their old listing and stuck a big "SALE!!!" sticker on it without changing their actual price.

Outside of a couple things they have been trying to get rid of for a long time the sale is lackluster as fuck in terms of actual discounts.

>>15601355
Spent my allotted gunpla money for the month on a PG unicorn right before the sale went up. Rip

Nope, the sale's pretty shit. Besides, I'm already waiting for my most recent order to arrive

>>15601355
this "sale" is fucking garbage

>>15601374

I'm only looking at anything 35-40% off for that reason. On some of the kits I know exactly what they cost before the sale so I know if the sale is pointless or not for those.

I'm thinking about grabbing the GM III and the Mega-Shiki because they're pretty cheap. I'll probably end up grabbing another M.S.G bit too.

>>15601355
The 00 MG is extremely tempting. Problem is not much else is and I fucking hate importing for one kit.

>>15600573
Not bad. I feel the blue may be a little dark but the red and gold look nice.

>>15601355
HG mass production Z'gok, to with my RG Char's Z'gok, and 2100 yen for the RG Zeta also seemed like a pretty good price to me. Considered getting the Strike Rouge for less than 1k yen, but decided against it.

>>15601355
Revive Gyan, Transient Gundam and Reborns Gundam

Will a sealed plastic container be best for storing parts that have been gloss coated, or should I still put in ventilation holes + filter sheets on the outside?

>>15601255
>>15601259
Actually that overall Dunkelgelb color you got is kinda close enough for the African-based German tanks in WW2.

We're getting somewhere here. Not sure if there's anything else I want to add, but I do know I want to do some sort of cloth around the black of the Z'gock arm and the white tube parts of the legs.

What's the ball park I need to be shooting for when it comes to good humidity and temperature to do some painting? Running an airbrush with spray booth, but my only option is outside for now.

Wanna make sure I don't fuck this up too hard

Nice to see some progress. All I've done so far is order the kit + some detailing parts and decided on a color scheme (rip the ~10 or so spoons that gave their life for me to find what the best matching color mixes are).

>>15601565

I was going for desert (I used vallejo model color buff), so I guess that's good news.

>>15599952
Which one?

>>15600879
That's actually quite interesting, I wouldn't have known about this otherwise. I'll take this into consideration. Thank you!

>>15601355
A bunch of hands and builder parts, because it's the only thing really discounted enough to be worth it with the shipping. Hopefully there will be a bit more they get to a sale with Koto bits and Frame Arms.

>>15601355
Picked up a PG Banshee

>>15600869
I just want to take away its head and replace the ones in Dantalion

I was with you up until that point.

>>15601839
For $250 they should have already built it for me.

>>15601869
They're model kits aimed at the modeling market filled with people who enjoy the process of building and painting. People looking for a cheap action figure they can half ass assemble in under two hours is not their market.

>>15601883
Anyone picking this over a PG Unicorn is out of their mind.

WIP of that Thicc Build, cuz I said I would post more this time around.

>>15601355
MG 00 Raiser. Been wanting it for ages, but been on the fence cause the price. Now at 3900, I jumped.

>>15602114

I got the Qant, as it was also on quite a discount. I didn't see the point in getting the Raiser as I already have the seven swords MG and the RG Raiser.

>>15601355
I was thinking about getting this kit to kitbash with a Silver Bullet. How shitty are these older kits though? I can't find a picture of this anywhere only HG Doven Wolves pop up.

>>15602114
I want the Raiser but nothing else in the sale interests me and I don't like importing for one kit. It sucks passing on the deal, but I'd rather not buy it than buy things to go with it that I don't want or need.

>>15602015
Has the groupbuild even officially started yet though?

>>15602159
For kit bash they're not bad. The plastic is a little bit more brittle, and if they have joints they're certainty not PE, but you're just boring holes or cementing right? It's not bad.

I gave my petit guy some BJD eyes I had leftover from another project,

>>15602181
I was mostly just thinking about stealing the gun and shoulders to replace with the Sikver Bullets since its around the same price as a build fighter weapon pack anyways so yeah I guess I'll pick it up.

I just noticed the general copy pasta is trying to push a /m/ discord as the only text channel when there's been a #gunpla on rizon for years

Hmmmm. That's a good point. I'll hold off on doing anymore to this thing till I'm certain its begun. Thanks for the catch, anon.

>>15601355
I thought of picking up a pg banshee, but with the Canadian dollar being shit, it's really only saving me 30 bucks, which is not enough to justify me purchasing it.

What do you guys use if you don't use that?
I've been meaning to restock my supply, but I don't feel like forking over 18 bucks for a few sticks.

Latest from the Snap-log, it's the Jegan A-type! Unlike the B-type, the newly molded fore-arm holds the shield quite well.

I've got a question about the groupbuild. If I was already working on a thicc mobile suit (seravee GNHWIB) would I still be able to enter? I finished most of the modifications last week and started painting today.
If not I don't mind, I'll still post the finished product here.

>>15602190
thats kawaii as fuck anon

>>15602278
no you made a Gunwax

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B598NqRgY3E
They actually fucking remolded the alex.

I'm fucking dying right now. I asked my local store owner if they got their order from Bandai in (Because some asshole bought their entire stock last week) and he said they got the shipment.

I make the drive down there all excited and shit and when I get there "Oh, we only got our shipment for magic."

One question though, anyone got any youtube channel recommendations for painting and panel lining?

>>15602769
That fucking beam rifle.

Twilight Axis deserved better

I love how the Tristan turned out, don't you?

>>15602483
I do on occasion because of getting Prime on a six-month basis sometimes.

>>15602483
Since I have prime I usually buy most my stuff from them unless it's hard to find.

America Alert: Mega Size Grandpa is currently 67 bucks on amazon with free shipping if you have prime

>>15602181

>the plastic is a little more brittle

you know these are all reprints right

>>15601828

>needs paint and glue

you need to stay the FUCK away from this series or you will be crying hard, these are not friendly to build

So I'm starting out in gunpla but this isn't really about the models themselves. Should I spend a little bit since HLJ has a sale going on and get a small stock of action bases so I don't need to worry about them in the future?

>>15603255

I think the big question for that is what kind of suits you like, because some really need an AB to pose, others are happier on the ground. I'd certainly get a couple of them, they're insanely cheap

>>15603243
Reprints often aren't done with modern plastic mixes and use the old formulas a lot because that's what their molds were made to work with.
