== THICK MS GROUPBUILD ==

Build a kit of your choice that's heavily armored, and thick in the thighs/arms/torso/general area. Examples include:
>Dom + Dom Variants
>The O
>Virtue/Seravee Gundams
>Gusion/Man Rodis
>Full Armor gundams (If they're heavily armored, and not guns strapped everywhere like the FA Unicorn)

Non-Bandai kits are allowed, so feel free to whip out a Frame Arms kit or something and work with that as long as you make it thicc as fuck.

Start Date: 6/15
End Date: 8/31

I'm posting this here again since no one seemed to reply from the last thread:

So, some of my old kits have parts that just keep developing magical stress cracks/fractures. Pic related but not mine.

My Clanche actually had her wrist guards shatter to pieces. How the fuck do I repair this and prevent it from happening again? Specially the wrist guards on the Clanche. I have an inkling the ball joint on the wrist expands the polycap too much thus cracking the flimsy THIN plastic wristguard...

- If I sand the wrist joint to make it smaller, the hand will end up limp and loose.
- If I shave he polycap's outer edges, the wrist guard will be loose.
- If I shave the inner part of the wrist guard that hugs the polycap, the wrist guard will be loose...

I'm stuck in a clanche-22 here.

Also. in regards to fixing stress fractures/cracks, do I use putty? or plastic cement to reattach and seal them back together? And what kind of putty do I use? Is that tamiya brand stuff ok?

So is there a problem with the Tristan HG? i saw a lot of memes about it being shit.

>>15614581

>>15614581

>>15614609
>>15614610
All the runners except one are completely new though.

>>15614617
And it still has early 2000s level details and poseability. They didn't make a good kit, or save money on runner development. A failure on every level

>>15614617
Yeah but the one runner that isn't new is all the shit joints of a 2004 kit, making anything new completely redundant. The miniguns don't even fit with the covers properly. Hollow shit everywhere, it's garbage.

You can slap on new outer pieces but it doesn't make it any more of a reprint when the core of it is still the same Alex from over 10 years ago. It's just complete stupidity for them to do that, and i curse what ever suit who gave the okay to do that shit. We can get a new Alex revive potential but no we get a kit that is bad even for it's time.

I just hit a roadblock and really need some help in regards to painting. I've been working on an off on my armored core CR-C90U3 kit for the last couple of weeks and finally got through painting all of the parts (except the ones on the PC runner) and began assembling. It's my first time actually painting a kit and while I know it wasn't the smartest idea to start with this kit, I really want to make it look good. The thing is, I used metallic black (enamel I believe) as the primary color for the frame, but after I finished snapping the head together, I noticed that the black color came off of the back of the head. I began to snap the back of the core part and noticed that the black coloring also started coming off. It does leave a nice chrome finish but since I already have 2 shades of silver for the kit, I'd like to keep it black. All the other black parts have their color so I'm sure it has something to do with me getting my fingers on them.

Is there a way to protect the paint or will I have to repaint all of my black parts?

Nobel gundam finally arrived.

Sometime this summer I want to kitbash her with a GM to make a GM girl, still haven't ordered the kit though, anyone got recommendations for which GM to use?
Which ones would have parts that fit nicely with the size of the Nobell?

I mostly want to do a classic GM girl but if others are a better fit I might consider them.

depends on the kits, they make special connectors but they aren't that flush.
it's better to custom build

>>15614814
Not really. Is there anything else I need to do before or after I go back and prime it?

>>15615025
Personally I like to wash the parts in an ultrasonic cleaner with some soapy water but failing that you could just lightly clean them off with a toothbrush to clean off oils and shit. Using a primer is essential to painting though so the paint has something to adhere to.

The basic premise of a beam saber is a jet of superheated minovsky particle plasma contained within an electromagnetic field loop, taking the shape of a blade.

Then the rest of UC throws physics out the window and lets that field warp into any shape you want. I like the Gengaozo's beam mace the best.

I'll give you a (you) since I'm feeling charitable.

>So, some of my old kits have parts that just keep developing magical stress cracks/fractures. Pic related but not mine.
First thing's first, you need to give us pics of YOUR kit and your problem first before anyone can begin to give you any kind of advice. Your descriptions are too vague, and without being able to see the problems ourselves, we're not gonna know how to begin to offer you constructive advice. Like, we have no idea if it's "stress" cracks like you claim, or something else entirely (pic looks less like "stress" and more like plastic degradation from using corrosive paint without a protective primer/base coat)

>>15615742
I'd actually like to give actual pics but I don't have a decent camera. And my s5 doesn't seem to focus when taking close-up pics. My macro shots of the problem part keep getting a potato-quality result that you can barely see anything besides a pixelated blur. Ergo my use of someone else's pics as an example because it's the closest thing that looks identical to the cracks I have.

Also, regarding my query, this part:
>in regards to fixing stress fractures/cracks, do I use putty? or plastic cement to reattach and seal them back together? And what kind of putty do I use? Is that tamiya brand stuff ok?
This wasn't that vague. You could've answered that, at least. But nevermind. Since I got more "actual help" and useful advice over on the other gunpla general.

The release list is wrong! Dant isn't releasing until the 24th! I'm leaving Japan on that day and wanted to pick up 2

>>15614500
Not really sure how to help that friend. I do weird things to my gunpla and have yet to deal with age cracks like that. If it's a kit I really like and feel I have to devote more time to it I usually study the pieces closely and then when building I'll coat the underside of the pieces with JB Weld or some other type of epoxy, making sure to not be problematic with any range of motion. It gives the kit heft as well as secures any magnets, ball bearings or iron filings I may hide inside. Maybe that's what you need to do to strengthen and reinforce pieces so they won't crack over time.

>>15615812

>And my s5 doesn't seem to focus when taking close-up pics.
You just have to keep trying. Unlike my current phone the S5 just needs time to macro.

Can also help to stick a hand somewhere in shot and focus on that then move it back or forwards if you need to.

>>15615976
Thanks, anon!

>>15614923
The proportions for the backpack and trikeros are wrong in that they are too small with the former having different shape that the original preventing the use of those claws. Besides that, the model itself is great.

Gundam plastic models are babby-tier plamo, though. it's easy to understand why military, car, miniature, etc. modelers dislike being associated when the skill floor for Gunpla allows modelers to put out shit like Nub Destiny, Red Cliff, and who can forget pic related, and unironically think they did a good job..

C'mon... what part of tried everything sans factory reset didn't you get. Zooming in just blurs things even more.

>>15617078
While it's true that Tristan's general shittiness has called attention to the general unwillingness of the gunpla fanbase to step out of their snap assembly comfort zone and do some basic touchups, it sure as fuck shouldn't be considered some sort of litmus test. The Tristan is a legitimately lazy kit. It's so out of place I'm almost certain it's some kind of marketing stunt, like later on in Twilight of Axis the Tristan will get upgraded to a new frame entirely and a new kit will come out with a proper new runner replacing the Alex's.

But oh wait, you're just shitposting for (you)s so I don't even know why I bother.

>>15617102
>>15617090
It's definitely a shitty model by today's standards, and bandai is heavily at fault.
But it also shows that modern gunpla builders have gotten lazy.
People should be taking it on as a fun challenge.
Revamping a crappy lot is one of the most fun and coolest experiences a builder can have.
It also lets you go all out on techniques.

>>15617131
its a shame because i like the design from an astectics standpoint. i think ill buy it and that new gmgm and mash the two together somehow.

>>15617137
I buy kits on 2 reasons.
1, if I like the mech itself
2, if the model is technically impressive.
Tristan does neither.

Er, no? It relies on the camera2 api, which admittedly the S5 doesn't have so iirc it doesn't have manual focus or a pro mode anyway. But any phone that has camera2 will have all sorts of manual controls built in to its default camera app.

Anyway, like I said in >>15615983 the best way to get the S5's camera to focus is just move the phone and the subject of the photo around a bit, maybe give it something flat and bright to focus on. And sometimes you won't get it perfectly clear, but it'll be clear enough that you can make out details well enough, just with some fuzz.

HiMock has that squat statureand those stumpy legs/arms. Tryon 3 (and thus the vanilla ZZ) on the other hand still has the standard gundam proportions, it's just a little beefier than most other MC Gundams. Full Armor ZZ on the other hand is most certainly thicc however.

Revamping a kit can be fun, but the oldest and shittiest thing on the Tristan are joints, the hardest and most fiddly part of a build to redo by yourself, not even mention upgrade.

>>15617955
To be fair, it IS meme shit and there's more discussion about what even qualifies than there is about builds.

>>15618034
>it's thicc but not thicc enough
Yeah that's not confusing at all.

>>15618178
Tristan needs more than "revamping," you might as well scratch build your own gundam for the amount of things wrong with the kit.

Anyone know where I could get some fuck-huge ball joints in the range of 0.75 inches to 1.5 inches in diameter?

They'd make a largely scratch-built kit I want to make 100X simpler to do, I want to enter it into the THICCBUILD but if I don't use simple, easy to implement joints I'll probably just get lazy and do a Dom or something.

Vote to rename the group build " Thicc: the quest to get BIG " so people will stop questioning it.

>>15618196
I thought it was fairly straightforward reasoning.

Let's use the OG Gundam as a basis for what would be considered "normal" proportions. Tryon 3 in comparison has more of a bodybuilder look to it than a thicc look. The only thicc areas to it compared to the original gundam are the legs. Something like the Virtue on the other hand is more in-line with being "Thicc" (Although that comes with the virtue (hue) of having another Gundam underneath all that armor)

>>15618354
That seems a little silly, since it's totally possible to take any kit and make it sufficiently thicc with enough armor/plaplate/sculpting

>>15618424

If nothing else, I feel like they are really easy to use. I have only used them with their brand primer so far but I have to try it with a proper black base as well.

Too lazy to take a new image, so have one from a few days ago. I'm starting to get closer to the finish line, but I chose one hell of an MG to have as my first fully painted MG. The backpack itself feels like an entire kit, and I'm only painting one variant of it.

>>15618441
I think the problem here is that "thick" or "thicc" isn't a very well defined term. It's kind of a newer concept that hasn't cemented itself in everyone's mind yet. Everyone can look at the Gusion or The O and say "Dayum, yeah that's thick", but they don't know how far that term extends and what exactly it envelops.

I think maybe you should use some other terms to reduce confusion (and butthurt) over the next 2 months. For instance, broad and stout are really good descriptors here.

Yeah yours is lookin pretty nearly complete but I think that's cuz your nailing it on your first try. That putty stuff used as "cloth" for the joints is a really nice touch.

I do not, some of those cups (the red one and the one with the paint on the left) are the ones I use to store stuff like thinner/cleaner in so that I can quickly dip a Q-tip or something when I need them handy.

Also most of those cups are actually clean on the INSIDE and those that are clean are the ones I use to mix paint in.

I've never had anything "contaminated" so far.

You know every time I see a groupbuild or some customised kits I'm always eager to join up, but as for customising I never do that.

This debate over what does and doesn't count comes up at the start of nearly every group build on here and /toy/ (Especially anything that uses the word "grunt"). Even during something as specific as the graze group build we ended up stretching the definition to include grimgerde and reganlaze. And the one anon is the one organizing everything and paying for the prizes in the end so he makes the rules.

If you want to bitch then either don't enter or make your own group build with a theme you wanted. No one is stopping you from doing either one.

I always thought /m/ had a solid definition of what was considered thick and what wasn't. I mean skinny shit like most 00 suits and IBO Gundams asides from the Gusion should be obvious as to what THICC isn't, and I used the RX-78 as an example of not THICC since most mobile suits share a similar build. It's mostly Zeon stuff that you see being THICCposted asides from stuff like The O or the Rick Dias. I was trying to get a little bit of every modern HG line with that image, and I was using the Full Glansa as an example of a Full-Armored gundam that would be considered fine, although in hindsight I probably should've used the Baqto instead for AGE.

I'll leave it up to you guys if you want to decide what's THICC and what isn't. It's better for yourself to look at a kit and go "Hey, would this fit in with the rest of the group build?" rather than to have people arguing over what's thick and what's not for the next two months. I'll rescind my prior comments about the ZZ/Tryon too, since they're pretty cool suits and are reasonably bulkier compared to most main gundams. I'd actually like to see what people would do with it if it's not just a straight build/repaint.

THICC is a pretty dumb meme too but I do love heavily armored suits so I'm okay with this group build anyways

>>15619038
>>15619044
That's actually looking pretty nice so far. Digging the way the back thrusters are mounted on the Neue Ziels's arms like that. It should do fine probably.

>>15619061
serpent custom is one of my favorite grunt suit, but i lost/broke alot of parts since i've had this kit for almost 12-15 years, same goes for the sd neue ziel, so i decided to kitabash them together
>>15619065
if people are going to complain mine doesnt fit the "criteria", at least i had fun building it

>>15619090
>hopefully i can get those hg builder parts hands and get those incorporated

You're going to need to hollow out the wrists and fit a polycap in there before using the builders parts hands. Not overly difficult, but depending on which polycap you use you may need to trim it down a bit.

But yeah, the 90s polycap hands are terrible. You can't even really paint them as it just scratches off at the drop of a hat.

>>15619079
Different anon here. More participation would be nice...but how many people voted on this poll? Wasn't it close to 200? How many people entered the last build? 16.

I almost want to suggest the poll going by email so only participants vote for the next build. And then anyone in the thread can enter.

>>15619103
And more than 40 of those votes were for thick build, but at the end of the day only about a dozen will probably enter.

People just like having a say in what they see posted in the threads and want to be included I think. They really should give kitbashing a try though. With modern kits its especially easy to swap parts around with a little research prior to buying kits.

>>15619103
The way strawpoll works is it counts each vote for each option, so it's 200+ votes spread across the 6 options that were on the poll.

Conversely on the last two google polls I did while we were also poling for the next group build I got somewhere between 46-53 voters, so that's probably a more reasonable account for how many people voted in the strawpoll

>>15619102
dont worry, i've got that covered. found some sd kits that have the same polycaps i can borrow

>>15619109
>found some sd kits that have the same polycaps i can borrow

Careful with that, in my experiance most sd kits use different caps than hg and their hand balljoints can be different sizes. Unless its an early 2000ish kit, iirc those came with the same pc runner as hguc at the time.

>Package arrived.

I'm honestly more excited for the nippers than I am for the barzam.

>>15619117
should've said this, but im using an sd force impulse and checked using some hg hands from other kits and it fits, so i should be good to go

>>15618918

Well I am certainly the opposite. I don't really get the point of painting a kit in the same colors it came in, it feels pointless somehow even if the original colors are good.

>>15619123

Participation seems to be exclusive, honestly. I see posts about how people who don't make full customs don't have the right to post. A lot of people that lurk this thread don't own air brushes I imagine. I try my best to put effort into my kits with detailing painting, decals, and what not, but there are a lot of people that say snapfits shouldn't even be in this thread. You can't have more participation and also have it be Gunpla Expo level customization and workmanship.

>>15619155
From my experiance most people who complain about snapfitters tend to not do much more than snapfitting themselves.

ENTITLED snapfitters are a different story though.

>>15619155
No fuck that. No where has Groupbuild Dude said that only customs are accepted. I'm pretty sure there were 5 kits last build that weren't customized beyond paint. Maybe 4, I'm not sure.

Honestly, so long as it's denubbed and painted to any degree that doesn't qualify as trolling, I welcome anything. Rattlecans are good if you prep them, and a decent airbrush runs about 50 USD, I believe. And you can get a compressor from the hardware store for 20.

That actually makes me think a straight build would be neat. No paint, just denubbed and sanded like Kawaguchi teaches.

>>15619210
>No paint, just denubbed and sanded like Kawaguchi teaches.

You mean those how to build videos he made? There are multiple videoes included in those about how to use an airbrush, thin paint, and even preshade and paint gradients.

>>15619228
You know, I forgot all about those. All I'm saying is a no paint, pro sanding build would be entertaining.

>>15619210
>No where has Groupbuild Dude said that only customs are accepted
I always thought otherwise. Maybe I'll participate in the THICC build now. I'm like >>15618918 and don't care for doing kitbashes or custom color schemes. I fucking love weathering and camouflage customs though.

speaking of airbrushes, what kind of hobby places would carry them? would something like michael's have them?

>>15619288
They carry badger and the iwata neo which are decent for beginners, although from what I've seen they're a bit overpriced without coupons. You're better off buying one off of amazon honestly.

>>15619240
Then do that. So long as you have something you are moderately inspired or enthusiastic about building for the groupbuild theme, you're golden.

Hell, Man Rodi is one of my favorite suits and I have a really cool idea for one, but I can't get excited about that right now and it's killing me.

>>15619288
I'm not sure about Michael's, but Hobby Lobby has them. Their 40% off coupon brings them in line with Amazon, I believe.

My dreams of silly will be crushed if the O chest/neck is too narrow to fit a gouf head. Which seems like it might be the case looking at dalong.

After looking through my backlog, the first kit that seems like it would be good to paint is the RG Wing. Is there any blatant reason why I SHOULDN'T do it or anything I need to look out for?

>>15619363

I'm thinking it can work even without the gouf head, though it would be nicer with it. I'll just have to use a fairly gouf-like color scheme I guess.

>>15618241

>>15616685
maybe try to focus that rusty rain look around the little bits and joints and such.
places where water would seep in and collect a bit, typically on metal structures you see those around vents and things like that.

I like the overall design you've got going on though.

What kind of weapons are you giving it? I was planning on using the O together with a pair of fuckhuge gouf style cannon hands from a summer part campaign a few years ago but now I feel like my idea is way too close to yours, I didn't notice the zeong hands before.

Am I overreacting by feeling like me using pic related with the O is too close to your project or not? Because as said, they are both finger cannons.

That's from the SD.

>>15620036
nvm im dumb

i'm wondering about HLJ sales, in order to get a Zeta and put it on the warehouse to wait so I can even split the price of the shipping.
I'm an eurofag, so it would be like 3010 yen with shipping included, something like 24€.
On Amazon the model is something like 33€ with prime, and it would arrive in 5-7 days.
Sincerely speaking, I don't mind about waiting, 'cause of my backlog and my other activities, and the offer sounds convenient if you don't care about time (you can wait even for one month for stuff to arrive, or even more)
The main problem is that I'm not completely convinced about the item, so I'm asking the zetafags in this thread and the model owners, what do you think of the RG Zeta, is it worth buying afterall?
I'm planning on doing custom paintjob on it.

Basically people who whine and complain about easy to fix shit whenever bandai doesn't hold their hand 100% of the way or it doesn't live up to their standards for an action figure in terms of playability after they build it.

Some complaints are legitimate though, like Gusion and Rebake being put in the same box. Who ever thought of the idea I want to punch in the dick.

>>15620168
>Fuck bandai making that simple recolor a P-Bandai and making the color scheme I don't like the regular release!
A lot of P Bandai are more than a simple recolor. And I don't see why wanting more part separation is a bad thing. It benefits snapfags and actual modelers. Not every kit has to be a shitty russian tank kit with no color separation and lots of flash. Model kit technology advancing is a good thing, and of course people will expect the modern standard.

I will agree with you 100% on articulation though. A kit can be an absolute brick for all I care as long as it looks glorious. Fuck all the guys shitting on MG The O and RE100 Nightingale.

>>15620168
Nobody complains about the p-bandai recolors because the world doesn't need a 10th zaku II 2.0. People complain when p-bandai makes things like Altron or Heavyarms MG, or things like 7 sword 00/Full Saber Qan[T] p-bandai because they have unique shit on them.
