== 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

>>15636813
Good work, you made that shitty kit look like a decent poster.

I want to buy two of the Unicorn Nemos.
I want them to escort something.

A Jegan, perhaps?
Maybe the eggstoast Jegan?
I have Zeta Plus, too.

Buy them Base Jabbers and have them escort the Byarlant Custom.

>>15636975
I'm a little worried they'd look goofy next to an ANGLED suit like the Byarlant.

Techwise, just how outclassed is the Nemo c.a. 0096?

Aren't the Nemo and Byarlant both Zeta-era suits? There's no more of a tech gap than there is between a Marasai and the Gaplant. One's a mass-produced MS, the other is some technology demonstrator/elite shit.

>>15636969
I was always ass-pained that the Zolo didn't get a kit in the old 1/144 V line because it's one of the first and most prominently used MS in the series.

>>15637061
Yeah seems like it. Not a fan of the arms myself. Do like the skull looking head tho.

>>15636969
The entirety of ZAFT's grunts could use some modern kits, but Non-UC grunts don't get shit after their series has run its course.

I just want a HGCE GINN/CGUE/DINN/GuAIZ.

Review is up on Schizo's blog.

>>15637287
It's selling like hot cakes here in akiba. The stack out had less kits than tge Tristan now and lines are packed with people buying multiple of the kit

>>15637355
From looks of it Dantalion has a lot of customization potential for how compact it is.

Should I go with trimming a generic polycap's pegs into a rectangularish shape to match the slot inside a plastic part, and then make up the difference/secure it...

...or is it more structurally secure just to find an actual replacement polycap that slots in?

(The difference between the two options is can potentially be $20, don't ask any further about that point. )

What to buy, the MG Turn A or the MG Turn X

>>15637427
Why is the difference $20?

>>15637458
Both of course

>>15637458
I prefer the Turn X's design and gimmicks more, but you can't go wrong with either.

>>15637458
>>15637483
only correct answer

>>15636969
>Den'an Zon
>Some of the more overtly racist G Gundam designs
>Wing grunt suits

Bandai pls.

>>15636969
Anything from Victory Gundam or F91 that aren't the main lead Gundams, to be honest.

And no, the F91 Jegans don't count since they're barely different from the regular CCA and Unicorn ones

Alright, so what's the preferred topcoat to use here? I don't like using anything acrylic based because it jams up my airbrush, plus I use acrylic paints, so no good there. Is Alclad II Klear Kote worth picking up, or should I get something from a can and empty it into a bottle?

>>15637483
>>15637490
>>15637506
Got the Turn A
And seriously, Banzaihobby prices are amazing, how come hlj and hobbysearch are even alive.

I'm surprised I never see Maschinen Krieger in these threads. Not that I'm one to talk, I still haven't bought one myself. Planning on ordering a new shipment of plastic crack tonight including a MaK. Does anyone have any experience with them?

It's not really surprising since the kits require a bit more effort than gunpla. Plus Ma.K isn't super popular like Gundam.

Here is the Ammo Knight I am working on. Textured with Tamiya putty and primed with Army Painter silver primer so far.

Depends, what kind of clear coat are you looking for? Alclad flat is nice but their gloss is enamel so you can't do enamel washes on it (which is why they have acrylic aqua gloss as well). They come prethinned, and I'd highly advise making sure to wipe the lid grooves off thoroughly after using them or the lids can get glued shut and you basically have to cut apart the cap to get them off again.

I personally like mr.color gloss and flat. They are very thick out of the jar (the flat looks like fresh cum) but thin them out with mr.color leveling thinner and you get a beautifully smooth finish.

Wear a respirator for all these options.

Pic related is alclad flat.

>>15637470

Why potentially $20 tops?

FAG-use, flesh-colored spare poly caps that have specific slots and pegs, also middleman fees, Taobao, and the like.

We will never see a good kit of the Devil Gundam. I hold out hope that someday some madman at Bandai will create a massive 1/144 Ultimate Gundam but I know I'm just setting up for disappointment.

>>15637689
You're right of course, but after having these threads open for like two years straight I'd have expected to see them mentioned at least a few times.
I'm getting the Groserhund for now, but I'll probably have to practice weathering and army patterns before I paint it as I've mostly just done clean looking gunpla.

>>15637773
It does get mentioned from time to time.

Be prepared to have to manually place rivets on the Groserhund. It can be a bit maddening.

Alright /m/aggots, lets see your shame.

Post your backlog.

The HG Zeta is pretty much done, minus stripping the stickers and painting the wing edges like others have discussed here, those stickers were terrible. I'm currently working on the GM Sniper II, was planning on doing Freedom or one of the Star Wars kits next.

The HGAE Zeta was surprisingly intricate, though I wish the verniers on the rear plate behind the waist were solid blocks instead of separate pieces. I don't like that they have give in such an odd location.

Cool cool. How does one use marker and brush? Like do you squeeze the ink from the marker and use the brush? Sorry, I'm still new at this.
>>15638067
If there's anything I wished it had, it's the ability to partsform without the use of that big hunk of plastic. Partsforming doesn't bother me, especially for an HG, but I hate how the head and body get tossed aside.

>>15638066
I only have two kits left in mine. The FA Unicorn Red version and the Rezel Type C with the two mega launchers. I'll probably build the 3-or-so action bases I got before I build those.

Indeed. Thanks to that, not only is this kit stable but it really has some fantastic possibility. It's too bad some of its potential gets held back by the back wings. And yes I've heard the horror stories of the RG. I was about to get that before I ran into this kit in my local weeb store. I was also thinking of getting the MG 2.0 but the fact that it can't stand well turns me off. I think I'll wait for a 3.0 or Ver Ka.
Btw it kinda irks me the ZZ gets a Ver Ka but not THE Zeta.

Yeah, it's probably that. Also if it gets caught up during a big mail period; during the holidays I've had EMS take as long as SAL. But that doesn't mean too much since SAL takes about ten days to reach west coast US anyway.

The Guncannon Revive's hip joints were really weak out of the box. It could stand fine, but couldn't hold an aerial pose like this without the legs falling down. It's fixed now, but did anyone else have this problem?

I have a sheet of orange decals, but I'm not sure if there is a point in using them on this color, I'm afraid they wouldn't show up well. Opinions?

>>15640696
Nah, that's just first model syndrome. As you build more you'll improve, and eventually the improvements will be sorely noticeable. When I got over the initial hump I realized that my models were significantly stronger and tighter at the joints than any model I had completed before that. My HG 00 Seven Sword is pretty solid because of this, the only time there's any weight issues it centers around the GN Buster Sword, but that's only in some poses that overextend the arms.

That paint job looks really clean. Something I myself always run into is that when I do a pannel wash and then clean up the exces with a qtip, I have strands from the qtip getting stuck to the kit or slight smearing from the exces paint.

There seems to be none of that on your kit.

>>15642739
I use tamiya's enamel wash and wipe them with q tips slightly wet with enamel thinner if that helps although that happens to me too when i accidentally apply too much paint. if it flows nicely throughout the lines with a small drop then i can typically clean the excess without problems

Another thing i found to make that happen is when my paint raises the panel lines to the point where i can't gently slide the q tip across the surface without wiping the paint inside away too

So I have a gold leaf tamiya marker. What is the best way to actually use it to paint stuff like V-fins and Lupus Rex's fingers?

Finally finished my first serious attempt at painting a kit. Almost everything that could've gone wrong happened. Didn't help that I went from Tamiya cans then hand and airbrush when it arrived. A lot of fixing up and retouched and still easily noticeable mistakes. I just posted this because I promised myself to let myself get criticized till I get good. A good take from this is what one anon said that painting a kit is 90% prep.

How do I get rid of the sticky stuff left from masking tape from a kit painted with acrylics?

>>15642882
Yeah just swap the hands with the okd hands attached to the double gattlings

>>15642822
Yeah I do the same, I'm guessing it's just having too much paint in there.

>>15642886
he regrets his decision

>>15642896
Good masking tape shouldn't be leaving behind any sticky stuff...

>>15642921
Maybe it's because I left the tape on for a long time till taking it off?

>>15642894
For your first go it's not that bad anon. As much as I hate it when people say this, it is the best advise and it aplies here: thin your paints more!

It's tempting to brush a piece in one go, but doing multiple thin layers is still the best.

That also goes for the top coat!

Different person posting, but does a room with windows open and a ceiling fan blowing down into the room while I sit on a desk below it count as well ventilated?

make sure to use clamps or something to hold the parts in place DO NOT hold them with your hands unless you like pain

So RG Sinanju. Due to it's glossiness, would panel lining with tamiya accent and then wiping excess away with thinner result in any sort of damage to the out of box gloss? Can't decide if the few panel lining opportunities are worth it.

Not telling you to be a jew about it, but if they're local or near you, they're more than likely to compensate you in some way for this. Obviously you don't mind as much, but it's more or less illegal to sell a customer something under the pretense that they're getting Item A but you send them, on purpose or accident, Item B.
Definitely let them know, as a business it's highly unprofessional to let something like this happens.

It works out a little cheaper to get them from a japanese site like Hobbylink Japan (Good selections, good prices, good stock), Amiami (pricer shipping but mostly like Hobbylink) and Mandarake (all second hand stuff, but great prices, plus there's a lot of rarer bits on there too.)
I've heard good things about Banzaihobby recently, might be worth having a look there as well.

It'd likely be that or a new unicorn to coincide with the construction of the 1:1.

>>15645433
That's a good point, completely forgot about that.

Maybe we'll get a new Banshee too, I've been wanting something bigger than the HG for a while.

>>15645278
Well what type of paint were the sprays? If they were acrylic it will work, if they were lacquer or enamel which are the common can types you will need appropriate lacquer thinner or enamel cleaner like mineral spirits. And always prime, it saves a lot of hassle and makes the colors go on easy and scratch less easy. Topcoat too.

>>15645437
After having built EVERY available scale of banshee (I have an unhealthy addition(, I can easily say that the MG is the worst by a country mile. With that said though, if you really want a banshee MG it can be pretty serviceable. The biggest problem I found was with the pegs being too shallow on the shoulder and ankle armor which meant they are pretty prone to popping off if you so much as look at it funny. I'll probably get a lot of (you)s for this but honestly the only solution I had for fixing the ankle armor was to glue them in place, hardly a big issue though since it doesn't hinder the transformation. The feet are total dogshit though but again, if you use an action base with it it's negligible. It's just one of those kits where you have to make a ton of compromises just to build the damn thing.

>>15645486
how is the PG Banshee?

The manager itself is great, it does suffer from having trouble holding up the armed armor shield and the larger beam magnum due to the weight of the revolving launcher. In the end I ended up putting it in the novel loadout with the shield and beam magnum just because its arms would sag down every time you tried to pose the magnum. Now the LEDs are a different kettle of fish altogether. Trying to get a wire into the backpack and then fit the backpack on to the body is an exercise in tedium,same goes for the head. The wire just loved to pop out of the backpack/head as to placed it onto the joint. Since its my only pg it certainly was a challenge, but it does look great, the leds react really well at night and having the option of novel/norn parts is really nice, not to mention if you want the original ova banshee but don't want to be jewed by p Bandai, daban did a copy of those which is about 1/3 the price.

Well the rg is out in August and we're at 198 master grades including the zz which isn't out until September. They could potentially release mg 200 around late spring/early summer 2018 at which point the rg may well have reached saturation point.

>>15645575
Thanks for that. I was considering the Mk-II or the Banshee to be my first PG but now I'm leaning more towards the Banshee.

Never ever put plastic pieces in lacquer thinner or mineral spirits to strip paint, they will not survive that.

Does anyone have any experience with the Kotobukiya line of Cyber Troopers kits? All I know is they're 1/100. I've had my eye on the Viper II for a while now and I want to know if it's worth buying. I loved the game, still do despite how dated it looks, and would like a few kits to mix it up a little. I'm worried about fitment and plastic quality. I'm not spending $60+ on something that is going to crumble to pieces or has casting problems that people just overlook because of reasons.

>>15645429
If I'm forced to pick, I'd rather have the Destiny 2.0 to be honest.

>When you read the instructions and still end up cutting a part that looks like a tab but isn't, so now you gotta go through the ball ache of getting a replacement part as a filthy gaijin with no Bandai support

>a bug landed and got stuck in my wet glosscoat

I lifted it away as soon as I saw it but I probably squished it a bit. Rest in peace.

>>15646067
squished or not it would be poisoned by the topcoat.

>>15645433
I hope it's a Unicorn. Yeah, yeah, there have been a lot of MG Unicorns but let's be real here. Even with the vOVA updates, the base kit is a decade old at this point. It looks okay doing the Katoki pose but that's about it.

>>15646062
RG Exia?

>>15646062
Honestly if it was just a HG or RG it might just be easier and maybe cheaper to buy a complete new kit and use the one you had for practice on painting or something. I don't know how much people resell individual parts for.

Oh and a great thing about the banshee pg is that the runners are almost entirely undergated so it honestly does make speed building pretty easy with virtually no downsides.

>>15646008
Why not just buy the dragon momoko metal build, the aesthetics are virtually the same as the 2.0 seed range adding overt, ridiculous jagged edges to every surface for the sake of 'detail.'

>>15646453
I can't afford a metal build and I want to give it a custom color scheme anyways.

Dragon momokos metal build model kit is cheaper than most master grades.

>>15646481

Are there any major issues with the kit apart from the typical?

>>15646502
I haven't built it myself but I've been eyeing it for a while and generally I haven't heard many issues. The only prevalent problem is the dragon momoko third party hands that are similar to the mg 3.0 hands except they're really loose. This isn't much of a problem though because all dragon momoko kits tend to come with at least 3 pairs of hands.

>>15646502
Also if you aren't keen on the original destiny colors the Heine Westenfluss custom costs exactly the same price. Just to really give a massive fuck you to bandai.

>>15646508

I usually prefer the simple, solid hands anyway, thanks for the info. Where do you get your third part kits from? I haven't gotten any before.

>>15646513
I've only ordered a few, the first two (tallgeese iii and try burning) were from gundam model centre and the other two (woundwart and akatsuki) were from Samueldecal. I'd recommend going for the former since they give you an invoice and shipping straight away. Samueldecals ordering process is just too messy.

I don't have a camera good enough to take a picture but how the fuck are you supposed to remove nubs without having the entire piece turning dulled and scratched up? I cut the pieces off the runner far enough away that I could come in with an exacto knife and shave them off real close to the piece, yet after sanding AND buffing the piece still looks scuffed and there is clear discoloration where the nub was. This is my fourth kit and it still looks awful so despite watching probably hours worth of video there has to be something I'm not getting.

>>15646567

Paint. It's extremely difficult, if not impossible, to completely avoid any discoloration, and to do so all the time.

>>15646580
It's not just discoloration, they're stress marks that are noticeable from multiple feet away. I wouldn't mind that much if I had never seen a non-painted kit without them, but I have so clearly I'm doing something wrong.

>they're stress marks that are noticeable from multiple feet away
>with an exacto knife
This is your problem. Using an exacto knife may work for a lot of people, but not for everyone. Personally for me using a knife leaves me with stress marks/gouges (might be the knife, might be the user)

I suggest you try using a file and sand paper and se how that works for you. Do as in pic related and see how that works for you. I know it works for me. You'll still have discoloration, but like the other anon said it's almost impossible not to get that.

Painting is always a good next step if you are willing to give it a go, but for now try the file instead of a knife.

>>15646632

I'm too clumsy with the file and always sand a bit in the wrong area as well as where I actually want to.

I use godhands -> xacto with #17 blade -> sand

Sometimes I do use a file, but only the round kind and if I can't really do it with the other tools.

>>15646632
I followed this and it ended up as the cleanest piece I've ever gotten. Might just be a fluke because it's a dark grey piece and usually the worst offenders are red and blue pieces, but thank you. I only wish I could retroactively go back and do the other ones I already mangled with nippers+exacto.

Can anyone give me some tips on seam welding the shoulder pauldron for the Origin Zaku II?

Here's my idea:
Shred the male (thinner peice) on A15
Seamweld them both
Slip it through the bottom, into A14's larger peg

Anyone have any other methods?

Hey guys,

I just finished building my 1/144 HGUC Ex-S Gundam, and I noticed that you can apply decals to the shoulders.

So I did just that, but now I'm at a loss for what to do next. What kind of decals are they, anyways? How do I know if they're water slide decals or just dry rub?

>>15647156
They're stickers.

You can't peel off waterslides and there's a thin backing on dry rubs.

>>15647156
are they on a light blue background or on a clear sheet of plastic. the former are water slide and later are dry transfers

Why is the Thunderbolt Zaku II so goddamn expensive?

>almost 40$ for the normal version
>Big gun set is somehow cheaper at around 30$

I want to customize it's arms, head, and backpack, then give it a desert Zaku spike shoulder, not-MG-42 gun, gelgoog jäger style fuel tanks, and a subtle green camo scheme to make the ideal Zaku II, but I can't because poorfag.


Pic unrelated just a cool Zaku kit I saw somewhere

>>15647197
Because it has a lot of shit inside.

>>15647204
He's wonderhing how tb zaku is more expensive than a tb zaku + Big Gun.

>>15645531
Try making one using a plastic tree for parts

>>15647204
Isn't the normal Thunderbolt Zaku not that much more complicated than the average UC Zaku?

How much does it cost in yen?
If it's more than 2000 that's even more jewing than I've come to expect from bandai.

>>15647362
Their prices on Hobbysearch. Original release in parentheses:

>HGUC Zaku II (2003)
900 Yen

>HGTB Zaku II + Big Gun (2013)
3420 Yen

>HGTB Zaku II (2014)
1620 Yen

>HGTB Zaku II + Big Gun [Gundam Thunderbolt ver.] (2016)
3420 Yen

>HG The Origin Char's Zaku II (2015)
1530 Yen

I assume the TB Zaku's backpack justifies the price increase.

Might be overpriced because they're hard to come by, Bandai probably hasn't made a batch standalone kits for a while.

If so I'm surprised it sold that well, I thought everyone hated the thunderbolt Zaku II kit because of the stickers and unusual proportions.

What is the most clean and efficient way of removing nubs? I tend to cut the piece off with the tip of my nippers but I still get some white residue that I can't seem to sand away without scraping the fuck out of the piece even with the softest sandpaper/stick.

>>15647999
Knife then sand then buff.

If worst comes to worst just sand the offending nub then paint the piece.
