== 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

That looks really good man. I usually look at little pilots figures as trash but damned. I think you've inspired me to try to paint one.

Thanks! I'm painting him for a friend; I picked a RG MK-II to be my first gunpla and Kamille is even smaller. They have lots of detail though, so it's nice to paint them.

(Also I'm shamelessly putting the photo again in this thread)

>>15677857
Well, best of luck doing an RG as your first kit. They're certainly not mega hard but it always helps to throw together a few cheap HGs before you pop into something that is a bit more expensive.

Make sure to show us your wip, I can't wait to see. I literally passed on buying that RG MK-II today just because I didn't know what its quality was like.

Had a little mishap today. I was in the process of attaching A25 to A8 but hadn't sanded/scraped down A25 properly (if the picture isn't clear, its TINY and hard to work with), so it wasn't going in snugly. Frustration mounting, I squeezed it a bit too hard and wa l a, it sprang away with explosive force. I couldn't even tell what direction it flew so I'm doubtful I'll ever find it. So long, A-25 bro, also I guess this shield will never be complete.

Do you mean voila? Sorry to hear that man. When I was making my first kit I had a pic related moment and caused a thruster to fly off into orbit. Wife found it while sweeping and all was well, several days later.

Some of them are egregiously bad. While I support not lending to tripfags, if they're participating in the thread and built up a little trust, why give them shit? I mean they're guaranteed to go shit-mode eventually by the nature of what draws them to trip/name and trying to do shit like that about them just causes them to go defensive instead of listen.

But just be mindful of who you reply to and about what. If you feed them you hurt not just yourself but the other people who are here in the community with you, who support you, give advice, share progress, and are willing to help you on request.

>>15677919
It's not about any old trip/name. It's about one guy with multiple trips shitting up the thread.

Even if a GBWC contender dropped some world class competitive great one it wouldn't make an effect. Your stance is an ego defense one.

You don't play it close to the chest enough. Try harder or go home. Bake on your replies longer so you don't reveal your own insecurities and open willingness to shut out outside opinions without consideration.

I'm the guy who defended you as just liking the toy aesthetic recently, so take it as mild non-aggressive observations from someone who has no malice towards you.

Everyone likes their own thing. I like clean assembled kits without paint, without overly large amounts of detail, without excessive decals. But I don't like shiny plastic so I sand mine over the entire kit.

There's two enemies here. When people give you shit, you give it credit with a response, you gave them that power. Secondly, my best guess is most of your pictures in replies aren't kits you just finished but from a folder, and that just kind of...it doesn't do anything positive or add anything to anything you are saying.

>>15678232
I'll post mine, as I'm a third party. This was my first kit, HG Shining. Did it with tool side cutters and a nail file. Fucked up a lot.

looks awesome, love the head/v-fin and simple color scheme. did it take multiple tries to get that white panel lining on the red or is it pretty simple

>>15678521
its quite simple, but removing the excess can be a pain since for some reasons the white kept smudging and would not go away easily even after rubbing it off with thinner

>>15678560
White gundam marker? Mine does that too. The yellows are stubborn as well.

>>15678472
Your panel lining is superb. Can I request a pose?

>>15678569
i mixed a bottle of tamiya's white enamel paint, but i might have added too much thinner so it really only works for the smaller lines

>>15678578
what kind?

poseability is limited and i'll only be able to deliver in about 8 hours but i can try

I'm almost done with the build; I didn't found it to be too difficult to assembly having good tools. As for its quality; I have built other models before (miniatures and historical ones, but never plamos) and I have to say that I find the RG something close to witchcraft; I still can't understand how they can make articulated parts in the fucking sprues. It's by far, the most quality model I ever assembled.

MK-II looks amazing even without painting it, but I'm going to do it anyways. I'll post pictures once I start with it.

>>15678748

Thanks. I think that the most important thing for shading at this size is having good brushs and paint using a really thinned mix. Pic is the texture I'm using for it.

>>15678890
>I still can't understand how they can make articulated parts in the fucking sprues.
They have pieces made of a different plastic (with a different composition and higher melting point that won't fuse together) already in the mold when they inject the majority of the plastic

Tell me about it. $25-30 bare minimum, and those will probably be an ancient kit on par with one of the vintage cheapo Gundams at worst, or a 1000 yen Space Yamato at best. Complete with parts not even fitting together correctly.

The prices on American kits blow me away. If there's a Hobby Lobby near you, grab one of their 40% off one item coupons online. HL is a store I avoid, but 40% off kits have to be a loss leader for them, so I'm actively draining their budget for war-looted Iraqi antiquities. They have a surprisingly large assortment, too.

Oh that is one damn good kit, I have it and love it to bits. If only Bandai made more. Just some advice, tighten the joints, the skeleton and all because this guy is moreso HG, no full inner frame and with the joint cloth starting to tension after compressing it for a while can be frustrating when your arm pops off its socket repeatedly. And give it as much panel line as you do because it looks naked without it.

As for the golden crest on the chest its chromed so might want to cover it up with topcoat, doubtful you can see it properly on the image here but one side of it flaked. Also cement as much no moving parts as you can, some parts fall off easily

But there are videogames which are more fun and have a wider audience.

We should get with /tg/ and just make one ourselves. I have a buddy who made a Risk type strategy table top game but he's got different gametypes like capture the flag, conquest and other things. He based a good portion of it on Battlefield vidya games but it actually plays well and is a fairly balanced tabletop game. I bet with our levels of autism and /tg/'s guidance we could make something cool.

My brain is dumb and always thinks of flag colors which ruins some color schemes for me.

And if I stick with the orange, how would this color work for the eyes? I didn't really want to change the faceplate colors with this scheme.

>>15680141
maybe it's just my personal taste but I think the face plate should always be the same or a lighter color than the color of the helmet piece.
And yeah, 3-4 colors max

>>15680162

Generally I might agree with you, but it's a bit hard to go for a lighter color than white and I didn't like white on it in this case.

The original helmet color is black and the faceplate a light blue kind of color so it does follow that idea originally though.

I really want the faceplate and v-fin or the chin and v-fin to be the same color because I like the triangle it creates. The shape is always there, of course, but the colors being the same on those pieces emphasizes it in a way I like.

Not the other guy, but it varies from kit to kit I think. I have Tallgeese II and Tallgeese III, and the III is nice and stiff, but the II flops around.

Ebay is your best last resort.

Fix it with super glue or adding Future to it, even a slight layer of tape will do. Models are what you make of them.

I'm looking to purchase a new camera for general use, and I was wondering what you guys recommend/use.
I currently own a 16mp Tough Stylus, but while I'm grateful I can take it with me under water and up mountains, the picture quality and lack of manual settings is pretty disappointing.

Of course I plan on taking pictures of my gunpla with it, hence why I ask here.

Oh man that was close, i have been checking ebay during the last few weeks but only found the old resin kit. Just had a look now and found the last of 13 and snapped it up at a decent price.

Thanks for the suggestion, touch wood it doesnt turn up crushed flat!

MKII is probably the best RG build quality wise. If you're going to start with one, it's the one to start with.

Time to get started with my first P-bandai.

>>15680399
Understandable. I've been making the Real Grenade Sinanju and so far, everything feels pretty solid, other than those free floating pieces on the knees, and the toe pieces. But those are held on by friction, and it';s not much, so I get that. So far I'm thinking people overly exaggerated how bad RGs are.

>>15680457
My RG MKII is the only gunpla I have that I let normies handle, because it's solid as a rock.

>>15680497
Some of the RGs have issues, due to the detail they're putting in at this scale. Like you said, sometimes they have to resort to having pieces held in only by friction, with some of the earlier ones the process to inject two sets of plastic in one mold and make articulated joints wasn't mature and honestly fuck those real grade hands. They're a cool concept, having poseable hands at that scale but they aren't worth it and they don't even look good. Another problem is sometimes they can be very, very particular about how they put them together, and if you make a mistake and parts aren't set together just exactly right, you end up with a hand grenade. One of the easiest ones to fuck up is the 00 raiser, if you aren't very careful to get a little grey piece in the GN drives seated as deep as possible, the side binders won't lock in to place and will just flop out. The manuals don't bother to warn you which pieces are very hard to get correct, either.

What >>15681041 said.

richigo, WIP in progress and beam knight usually have some good builds and you can always count on the OP image being above average than most.

Most of the good builders are on /toy/, and frankly it's a better quality thread than this one, mostly because the coons are more-or-less exiled there.

Sam's site hasn't been updated in like 5+ years now, you need to check his facebook and send him an email asking if he has any left (He's currently sending out the preorders now that he has his stock in). It could take a week or two for him to respond though. He's slow as fuck when it comes to emails.

>Exiled said shitposter through sheer determination

Actually its more like /toy/ has actual janitors and the occasional mod who kept deleting his retarded spam. Also helps that /toy/ got immunized to worst shitposters back during build fighters airing. Like the guy who lost his shit whenever ffs kits were posted and the ffs-fag who couldn 'T stop feeding him.

There's also how /m/ 's /gpg/ is generally more open to discussing the series kits are from, which may be good or bad depending on your perspective.

Thanks for the response but i found one on ebay in the end. I did notice how out of date it all was, facebook seems like an odd way to go about business but whatever works for him i guess

>>15681622
Think about it this way, Facebook gives him another way to communicate to people, allows for an inexpensive blog format to show off new products and get the word out quickly and easily on a site many people are already on, and allows for easy archiving of inventory via the photo album system.
Why wouldn't a mail order reseller and custom decal printer like that format?

>>15681102
Glad to hear it, mate.

I look forward to your next project that inspires me.

>>15681247
Looks pretty good, anon.

As somebody who bought an airbrush 4 months ago, you won't regret it.

The issue that I find is that the paint chips way too easily.

>>15681905

If it bothers you a lot you could switch to lacquers for your basecoats.

>>15681622
Facebook isn't really odd. More and more small businesses are using Facebook to reach out to their clients and/or customers.

>>15681905
>>15681943
Yeah, I get that big time. I'm a huge spaz so scratches are inevitable. I'm just experimenting and practicing now. I'll try lacquers when I have a well ventilated space/make a spray box. Might have to rely on topcoats to protect my precious work for now.

>>15681594
Adding to that, the articulation wasn't great even ten years ago.

Do i buy RX-0 Unicorn (ova ver.)? He looks cool and i want to make little shelf with little uv led to make it look even better.
Just want to know other people opinion about Unicorn.

>>15682201

>>15681514
of course not! no need to brag if no one knows what they are looking at...

>>15682247
alright, lets say i am then.

could you do these things you say are easily done?

>>15682201
the ova version is slighlty better, basically the original with couple new parts. non transforming v-fin, lightly better knee articulation, new parts for the head to show it has vulcans, and blue beamsabers for some reason. overall, its a kit thats there to look cool. transformation is finicky, but not that bad from my experiences. feet can get unreliable over time and the knees and elbows can only go 90 degrees.

summary: both versions are basically the same, but the ova version is the better of the 2

I mean the NA market isn't as big as Japan but I'd like to think we at least rival some of the smaller P-Bandai countries and we'd at least make it worth their while profit-wise.

Leaving aside that it's just not that common for militaries to plaster their uniforms or machines in the bright colors of their flag, that combination is just garish without really conjuring what it seems meant to conjure. That yellow torso block just looks out of place.

I haven't finished painting a gunpla in a few years, my old ones looked like shit thanks to me being shit at painting back then, I used overly glossy paint and overdid the drybrushing.

Most recent kit I've finished is this little T-90 from late last year, /toy/ liked it.

I'm a lazy fuck, but I might enter the thicc-build if the kit I want to build gets here soon enough.

>seam lines
shits hard yo. It did seal the body, but the fore arms were 3 different pieces, and the cuffs sat onto those. And the cuffs were two separate pieces. I didnt want to fuck it up and melt the wrong piece. Same thing with the upper leg. Those gold pieces sit inside of shit, and make things hard.
>gold trim, out of place silver
Nazis had gold eagles and sliver trim all over the fucking place. Idk what your on about anon.
>bad stg44
ya thats legit, I suck at doing weapons and that was the only silver I had. Although I did think about modding a wooden stock onto it, I just didnt have the pices to do it.
>triangles
Thats was actually the thought process on putting them there, although they did look way better with the warning decals I had at the bottom of the legs, but those fell off during me fucking up the top coat.

It's even worse than it looks from that picture, lost a lot of fine detail on top of those light bits.

But I just showed something I did less than a year ago, can't see it in that photo but there are decals on the back that look kinda ok compared to that barely held on swastika.

The OVA Acguys don't have the camo, so the gunpla could just be 'TV version' like some other TB kits have been.

>Pale Rider Space Type kit has parts from G05

D-does this mean we'll finally possibly get HG G04 and G05?

Help me decide between doing a Kimaris Trooper or a Hazel for the group build since I have all my stuff squared away now and both kits are sitting in my backlog as the only "thicc" units.

>>15683850
Possibly. The runners will be a good indication of whether or not they'll be released soon™, but Bandai could always just tweak the CAD data now that it's been made.

>>15683525
Is there really no model of this version? It's so rad.

>>15683099>>15683078

No because p bandai is supposed to be a pure profit vehicle where even unpopular shit makes money. How you ask? By having everything no matter what have $33 shipping. P bandai u.s. Site has been up for a few months now. It sucks.

I spent the whole day today modding the shoulder joints on my tiny-gogg. Now the two articulated arms can rotate 360 degrees at the shoulder (they come fixed facing out to the sides). Not sure why I'm going through all this trouble when I already have an HG hygogg _(:3

I'll be adding some dark grey and red paint details when they arrive

Is that Universal Unit? Do you have any others? How are they? I really wish they didn't replace Assault Kingdom.

>>15684184
yeah, it's universal unit. it's the only one I own, I'm gonna buy the zgok E p-bandai kit soon for the hygogg missile arm things

I was disappointed to find out that hygogg only has one articulating arm out of the box, and only the non-articulating arm can rotate at the shoulder. so I bought another box and made the modifications so hygogg can wail his arms around with extreme freedom

both hygogg kits came with very tight join fitting, so sanding the holes bigger is a must, i broke a joint on my first one because it was too tight and it twisted the peg off the plastic. it's also not fun posing it with very stiff joints.

the thunderbolt ground type gundam is kinda cool
some of the parts are recycled from thunderbolt GM so I just put the GM legs in instead of the gundam one

only two complain are the manipulator arms on the backpack have 0 articulation and for whatever reason they expect you to only hold one shield on the left side instead of one in each side
and the hovercraft looking foot looks fugly

That's not actually a good thing. Look closer at the official art for the gundiver, the HG is missing shitloads of colors.

For instance, the gun on the left arm? The tip is supposed to be gray.

>>15684945
newfriend here, is prime92 some kind of tranny?

How do I stop being a snapshitter? I panel line and I've started to top coat, but I don't really understand color theory enough to attempt to do a custom paint job

Sorry I'm retarded, the Guncannon.

>>15685010
Yes. In the process of doing touch ups right now.

>>15685028
Yeah starting to notice some color app needed, the manual doesn't really do a good job at pointing everything out, Especially on the Gun in aqua configuration, though nothing but a Gun marker touch up can't fix.

Could have sworn I saw a MG Atlas confirm, but guess not. Not sure if I want to buy a HG Atlas now since I have a MG Full Armor and want a MG Atlas to go alongside it.

>>15685363

The review pics don't really do this thing justice. Revive HG RX-78-2 for scale.

I wanted to get this done for the groupbuild, but I don't know if that is possible with this much surface. I bought can primer and can base red just because it's so much surface. Feels like i need a house painting gun...

just curious, you ever get those p bandai funnel effect pieces?

>>15686068

Nope, I've had the kit in the backlog a long time and didn't order those funnel effect parts. I might look into some knockoffs or something if they exist.

>>15686120
i really question bandais decision on what becomes regular release/pbandai. im sure they could have made it a regular release and have an adapter for older kits like the quebley. i wish they made more effect parts in general

>>15686194
p bandai stuff is just collector crap sold at enough of a markup and with ridiculous shipping costs so that it actually makes some money. They put things there that wouldn't be able to make a profit as a regular item.
Even if it could be used for quebeley or whatever, I don't think that many people would be buying the funnel effect parts.
