== 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

Personally, I don't much care for the leg lined in brown. It looks a little...warm, let's say. Almost orange or red tinged.

Considering the kit is wider than usual, I think the thicker lines on the legs look really good.

So the leg lined in gray, I guess.

Picked up. Not a huge Zaku fan myself, but it's stellar that the inspiration can be traced back all the way to his childhood.
I already liked the typical synopsis and the slight spoiler one on the publishing site though. I hope he gets the upcoming Master Grade, if an author even has time to build such a thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQj4lgp6Qdo&t=10s

Relatively new to gunpla but couldn't find an answer to this in the guide. I'm looking to buy some bases for my models and I know the differences between action base 1/2 but when watching some reviews on youtube I sometimes hear mention of action stands as an option to bases but when I look around I can't find anything about them. So do they exist or am I being rused by people on the internet?

Did some work on the skirt armor yesterday, want to keep it someone flat on the face so that the decals look nicer. I'm kind of going to be using the sazabi ver. ka for references on what to do in order to cut down on the tons of planning it would take otherwise. different sections like the giant booty will still just take some thought though.

>>15687397
Thanks, assumed that was the case when I couldn't find anything on youtube. When I get everything set up and painted I'll share my embarrassment with all of you.

How is it overall? I'm considering getting one and a Rick Dom II.

>>15687733
is this really the last one? pretty good choice for it i guess

>>15687733
Despite all the shitposting it gave us, I think I'm overall pleased with what the IBO line gave us. Got some fantastic grunt designs like the Graze and Man Rodi, got a few pretty standout Gundams too, like Vidar. And that's not even going into how easy the IBO line is for kitbashing and customizing.

If nothing else, IBO is a good indicator of where I hope gunpla engineering continues to go in development. Nice inner frames, easy to paint, and cheap.

It's step up from the 0080 kit, but it still predates the modern era of HGUCs. While it looks nice, don't expect a lot of articulation. The pose in the picture is pretty much the only two-handed pose you can do with the rifle.

As far as the Rick Dom II, I heard its excellent. Snap always tells me good things about it.

its still got a long way to go, form 2 is a resin printer that works a bit different than other 3d printers and it's $3500. i've just seen some nips use it to mostly fuck around, saw one do a scopedog with it to get used to it. but the results do speak for themselves.

The yellow on the legs came out good, but the orange up top feels a bit dark. I've still got some paintwork to do on this so I'm not done just yet. It feels a little too-white right now.

I wanted the Providence water decals so I went hunting for the P-bandai set on ebay and just chose the cheapest one with good ratings, "Thehangarbay", based out of Japan.
Today, a week later, I get the package and notice a handwritten note folded up inside.
Seems like they give a hand written note in every shipment? Pretty nice of him, appreciated it a lot.

Uh oh I think I'm starting to get into this kit

>>15688106
I don't know about the whole line or availability affecting price, but yeah. Awoken Unicorn is hovering around $110 (though I have a $25 amazon card), even coming straight from Bandai. Not too shocked, though. Figmas and RD figures are pretty much always more expensive than kits, and she has a good number of optional parts.

Is there any way to get something like those joint cover things from the MG Thunderbolt kits on their own? Seem like it'd be cool for customs.
I'm not even sure what the actual material is though, since I've never built those kits.

>>15688064
Good luck, I hear AGP has some pretty bad quality control issues (at least with the Kancolle ones.)

Can't wait to start painting this guy. The stability issues are anoying, but I'm just going to glue it properly.

All in all I'm surprised by how good everything fits and how great the kit looks for a bootleg.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

guys i fully snapfit a kit, and now i want to paint it, i took it apart and now i'm going to paint an inner piece, put another on the outside, mask the first, etc and continue.

is there a way around having to mask everything but have seams welded and smoothed flat?

atleast yours isn't topling over because the hip joint can't bare the weight, nor does your head explode like a grenade when you look at it.

Seriously though, all of those issues can be fixed with cement, but damn will I be glad when I'm building a Bandai kit again.

You don't handpaint all of your kits with no primer and while they are fully assembled? It's the truly refined technique!

It's not paint, I'm sculpting and now sanding down new extensions for the shoulders. You can compare it with this stock photo.

>>15688207
The Bandai Tallgeese doesn't balance for shit either, mine is currently leaning against some stuff on the desk it's on because it keeps falling over. The Tallgeese just doesn't stand on its own as a kit, it needs an action base which I should order for it at some point.

>>15688238

Mine can stand just fine, but the ground poses are limited. It does have tiny feet after all.

That's a much better shade of orange. Almost there with this one.

>>15689039
do you have any masking tape? the black lining on the thigh looks a bit rough, same with the red on forearms and fists

>>15688138
You can make them. Here's a video.

https://youtu.be/8yVzbzwC0SQ

>>15689052
The black on the thighs looks a bit sloppy because I used a micron there (Since i knew I'd never make it look good via paint at that thinness). The hands were masked, I just never got around to scraping off the excess on there, same with the red on the forearms

>>15689039
I like the cute short shorts! ;^)

>>15689066

> I'd never make it look good via paint at that thinness

what do you mean by this?

>>15689066
dunno, try testing on a spoon with a can of black spraypaint. as is, looks kinda distracting, for me at least

>>15687745
The Rick Dom II looks nice but has shit articulation, I regret buying mine.

>>15689363
Can you mod at all? The Bolden Arms Arms pack from Gundam Build Fighters help add articulation if you're particularly upset about it.

>>15687519
I assume that's styrene. How do you cut it so it fits those lines so perfectly? I haven't figured it out yet.
>>15688125
What are you using to sculpt?

>>15689366
I can, I was considering modding it to somewhat modern standards of articulations. Though I'll check out that pack you mentioned.

>>15689379
Yeah, it's got all sorts of ball joints and movement parts for getting older models up to standard, albeit with slightly altered design in the joints due to that. It also comes with a few armor parts, missiles, and missile launchers which just incentivize more customization. Funnily enough the promo photo shows it being used by a Dom.

>>15689373

I use notecard to test complex pieces and just practice with styrene really. The shoulders have like a "skeleton" of styrene and then are coated in epoxy putty. I use apoxie sculpt but there are lots of good brands.

>>15689421
Different anon. By skeleton you mean a couple cut pieces of styrene sheet glued together into a very crude basic shape that is then given the final details/thickness/roundness needed wth the apoxie? I've got the same putty myself and am wondering.

>>15689421
How do you achieve the shape on the notecard? Just eyeball it?

I loved how open exposed the iner frame was. Also most of the suits looked really cool.

Also Vidar was a 10/10 design.

>>15689421
I've started playing with sculpting, what is your method for getting it so smooth and clean? Right now my stuff is a mess of mangled globs and heavy sanding (and the marks to match)
Is there a process you follow?

File: visor process.jpg (117KB, 640x601px) Image search: [Google]

117KB, 640x601px

>>15689560
Yep basically, under the putty is a curved sytrene sheet with 3 bars under it connecting it to the plastic of the shoulder piece

>>15689767
Yeah, the notecard is really cheap and I can do things like fold it in half to make things perfectly symmetrical, then you just trim it until it fits, then use it as a template twice (or however many times) on the styrene.

>>15690420

What kind of putty are you using? My stuff starts out that way it just takes a lot of sanding. I try to always make sure I have more than enough material and then cut it with a knife and sand it down to shape. I also use water on my fingertips etc. to work with the putty, which doesn't impact it later.

>>15689060
Neat, thanks.

Are there any tips about lining stuff? The guide doesn't really go into detail here.

I bought a MG turn A some time ago, alongside some gundam markers (black and grey), but never started work on the lining. How easy is it to fuck this up? I prefer an unlined gunpla over one that looks like shit.

>>15690750
It's really hard to fuck up lining, because everything can be cleaned. Just spray on some gloss first if you're really nervous and line away.

And you don't want the Turn A unlined. Trust me on this.

>>15690331
10/10 from the knees up. The thrusters were dumb and tf kinda feet are those?

>>15690766
Yeah the "knife" feet are weird, but I like how bulky they are.

I actually love those big ass thrusters on the legs.

>>15690581
>What kind of putty are you using?
I also have apoxie sculpt, but I'm pobably putting too much material on. What grits do you use for sanding it down and then finishing?

>>15690815

Short answer: I use everything from like 250 to 4000 depending on how much needs to be removed.

Long answer: I use a ton of different sanding stuff. I use stuff as low as 250 for serious removal, I have giant files for taking off tons of material, I also love love LOVE my "greatplanes easy-touch hand sander" which is a flat aluminum plane that you can attach adhesive backed sandpaper to. I'm sure it was overpriced like many hobby products, but having a super flat surface that is large has been really handy for a long time. I also use micromesh pads and these Hobby Stix Swizzle Stick Sanders. For the shoulders I got the shape pretty good this time, so I used 250 grit sandpaper, then 400 grit sandpaper, then a few different micromesh pads. I used regular tamiya primer (not fine) to fill marks, then I'll sand that down and put finishing primer on top when it's smooth.

>>15690834

This thing just has so many awesome uses, like say you need to get the edge of a long styrene piece perrrrfectly straight, this thing makes it a piece of cake. Especially if you are doing something like the edge of a box, where you have 3-4 edges you need to make perfectly flat, this will do that easily where a file would not be as easy. Also instead of having to control a small piece of styrene and a small file which can change angle, this is so large you only need to worry about the angle of the styrene piece.

It also is great for shit like erasing surface detail you want to replace, it tears through plastic like an eraser with 220 grit paper on it, so if you are making a custom where you need to chop part of a big piece off and then get the surface perfectly flat, this thing is a lifesaver.

>>15690815

Also don't be afraid to shave the putty down with a knife first, it can safe a lot of time if you do it carefully.

>>15690834
>>15690847
I'm >>15689560 and the flat plane sanding device sounds useful. Would it be at hobby stores or only online?

>>15690953

Depends where you live I suppose; my local hobby shops carry them but they are also on amazon for like 8 bucks or so. Not sure about other retailers. There also might be a different brand alternative if you can't find that one.

>>15687733
This one has a lot of extra parts! I'm going to get 3 of this!

So what are the other kits involved in the gunpla evolution project? I checked online and all we know about is the zeta which released a while ago. Will they be giving MG kits a makeover?

Slower day today, had lots of stupid little issues that required several steps to fix. Removed more material from the chest beak thing, I'm still going to refine the shape more though. Also got more detail on the donger, I like how the little top styrene stuff turned out.

Don't reply to shitposter, you're better than that.

Your kits look great though.

>>15692797

When people use the term "surfacer" that's more like what I'm using it for here. When you start changing things a bunch like this there are many little things to check and fix and primer helps a ton with that. So the stuff here is not primed to get ready for paint, its primed to check for errors and fill small sanding scratches etc. So here I'm using regular tamiya primer and not fine primer, because I like the larger granule size for this. Before paint it will probably be given a surfacer 1500 coat that is the final step before actual paint.

Also primer helps you determine how things will look when painted one color. When you're working on changes you don't always know how they're going to looking when it's just sandy scratched plastic. Look at the beak area for example, it's like half white and half red, dusty and scratched. It would be really hard to tell if both sides are symmetrical for example.

>>15692826
>At least a decade old prototype shown off around the same time as the MG F91's release.
It wasn't even a prototype. It was literally the 1/100 System Injection F90 kit with weird modified arms and detailing on various parts. This was back during Shizuoka 2006. But that guy's the image spammer so it doesn't matter anyway.

Shitposter doesn't ask questions, so I took that as a sign that it's someone who's actually asking something.

Also I forgot to mention for any aspiring Symphomodelers, but the horns on the head are from a junker MG GP-01FB's V-Fin cut up. They both looked and fit perfectly for the horns.

But it depends on whether or not you want to work with plate and putty.

I'd prefer not to work too much from scratch but if I can't find anything to bash it with then I may have to. My main concern is retaining the ability to use the shields on the arm so I'll have to sculpt around it. Thought about getting one of the build fighters option sets. This one actually has some pieces that seem like they'd work.

>>15692892
I've got leftover EZ parts I could cannibalize for it, so the I'd say using the option set ould be a good move if you're not confident in being able to sculpt pieces. My only concern with kitbashing has been that parts can sometimes seem odd with the kit they're added to.

>>15692892

I'm not sure how much scratch stuff you've done but feddie arms are some of the easiest pieces to learn on if you want to try it. Anything square is nice.

>>15692922

Give it an hour, it's pretty quick but really depends on how much your using and if it's your final coat.

>>15692931
I had been looking at what was on amazon but everything that felt thicc enough was either zeon or otherwise stylistically incompatible. Seems like the option set is my best bet unless I can find something else to bash it with. Best of luck anon.

Alright so I bought myself pic related because I wanted to try hand painting the GN condensers on a 00 wip.
I've been having a bit of trouble though.
I've been using a guide that said I can thin these paints with water so I've been going with a mixture of 3/5 paint and 2/5 water, but my results haven't been good.
The paint tends to be very watery and doesn't stick to the plastic.
Should I just get regular thinner, or go with spray cans for this?

>>15693620

Its hard for paint to stick without primer. If you're hand painting, you want to do it in small thin layers and build it up. Each layer you add will stick easier to the previous layer.

>>15693620
Tamiya is not like other acrylics and has to be thinned with thinner, or isopropyl alcohol. I'm sure the guide mentioned that too, that tamiya is different from most acrylics. Also for the love of god PRIME your parts, it helps a lot.

>>15693743
should've focused on the seamlines of those flesh parts first.

>>15693620
>Tamiya acrylic
That's the worst brand to start hand-painting with. They don't say it but it's formulated more for airbrushing.

Vallejo acrylics might work better, you can thin those with distilled water but not with normal thinner

>>15693956
Again, in that case the guide was wrong as you see. Get some Tamiya acrylic thinner, or isopropyl alcohol. I have Tamiya and can confirm those things work. And use a respirator, Tamiya, even being acrylic, has harmful properties.

>>15694376

>>15694697

Jegan is very well made and cleans up super well due to the color of plastic. Nice base for customizing by being so plain.
Jesta is the same as Jegan (same frame) aside from cleaning nubs.
Build Strike looks neat.
Lightning is ok if you're fine with the look.
I dislike Transient's design but if it floats your boat it should be fine.

Don't get Impulse unless you're willing to do actual work with filling seams and painting because it's not up to modern standards.

36KB, 611x435px

Having decided to get through UC stuff in production order, a combination of just finishing Zeta and also going to Anime Expo for the first time has me itching to get some Gunpla for the first time in fifteen years. Rather than just going with snap-together HGs as I did before, though, I want upgrade to MGs and try out some of the actual hobby work. Not too enthusiastic about the painting part, especially seeing how much expensive airbrushing is emphasized. What I'm thinking, at least for now, is nub-sanding, seam-removing, panel-lining, non-sticker decals, and matte topcoat finish.

If I like it enough, I have my eye on the Nu and FA-78 Ver. Ka kits, but I want to start on something more basic. Currently considering the good ol' Zaku II, it's most current model apparently the MG MS-06F 2.0 from 2008. This space variant makes for a better choice than the MS-06J ground type from the previous year as it makes both ground and flying poses sensible options.

Is this a good path for me to go down, or is it advisable to do a different first model or hobby steps?

>>15694724
>OO Raiser
Maybe, but I also want to build the rg at some point so I'd rather get a variant but I might go with the standard. Is seven swords too flimsy or anything?
>Jegan is very well made and cleans up super well due to the color of plastic. Nice base for customizing by being so plain.
Great, It's probably my favorite grunt suit.
>Don't get Impulse unless you're willing to do actual work with filling seams and painting because it's not up to modern standards.

>>15695873

>>15695905
>around the superior Japanese plastic folded 1000 times runner
Seriously though. Bandai Hobby produces the best toy plastic I've seen for any brand. It's amazing how tough they make 1.1mm thin polystyrene when you have toys with entire limbs and shit just cracking. There are some missteps but 98/100 times gunpla plastic is amazing

>>15693364
If you're just looking for a neat desk toy yes. It will look fine snapped together with stickers. If you want something more presentable for display it takes very little effort to panel line and maybe dab in a few tiny details with paint.

>>15695905
I built my first two kits with generic store-bought nippers and by the end of the second kit they barely worked anymore.

>>15695864
I don't do gloss but the Krylon matte finish can work in a pinch and is under four bucks at Walmart. There are options out there they each have their own eccentricities though. Your best bet is to test some shit out on plastic spoons and see what works for you.

Pretty worthwhile, especially on Origin kits and things like the Turn A which are pretty heavy on panel lines. Keep in mind that it doesn't need to specifically be Gundam markers, pretty much anything .03mm will work. Copic Markers, Sakura Microns, ballpoint pens, lead pencils, and so on all work just as well, if not better, than Gundam Markers..

I just finished mine and I wish more kits had effect parts. It's kind of a childish toy gimmick but I love it.
My only complaints about the kit besides those 3.0 hands which are just straight up inferior to the third party hands you can buy nowadays, are the way the ankle guards are connected and the fact that the underside of the little tube on the origin beam rifle is hollowed out to save plastic. That's some no grade shit, visible hollowed out parts on a master grade is downright offensive

Throw that shit out and pick up some Tamiya tape instead. Regular painters tape is designed for large surfaces and won't properly mask model paint.

Of the kits I built it was easily the most difficult if only in terms of how much there was to build. There's a few parts that need glue, namely the horn and some boosters on the V.O.B. unit. The transformation is a little disappointing because the arms don't seem to seal up properly and the head doesn't sink into the chest like it does in promo materials although I'm not sure if this is because I did something wrong or if it's a problem on kotobukiya's end but since no one reviews these kits in English it's hard to tell. Also be careful with the two horns on the wings because they're really easy to snap off if you're not paying proper attention. As for seam lines the only ones you'd notice are the ones on the boosters and arms/legs.

GM revive fucking WHEN

any tips for a beginner attempting to hand paint small details for an HG kit? I'm mainly concerned with painting the head, there are tiny details that I am not sure how to paint without it leaking all over.

>>15698922
Do it very carefully

First off: Thin your damn paints. This much should be hammered into your brain by now. Remember to work in multiple small layers instead of doing one big layer

Second: Grab a fine-detail brush. The shit at Michaels isn't gonna cut it, if you have a FLGS in your area check out the brushes they have there and either take a look at the sizes they have there and buy an equivalent at a local hobby store or buy the non-Games Workshop brand they stock there if they have one there (GW tools are overpriced as fuck and aren't really worth it outside of their glue, and even then I'm moving towards the Tamiya bottles these days)

If something leaks over, depending on the paint you're using it's a fairly easy cleanup. If it's a water-based acrylic paint like Vallejo or Citadel just apply some water to a clean brush and scrub away at it until it comes off. If it's something like Tamiya or Testors that's a bit harder to get off with just a brush. Lightly scrape the area with a toothpick or an x-acto knife if it's just a small touchup.

>Thin your damn paints.
You can use thicker paint for small details.

He's god tier modeler.

But on the side he's also been designing new Gundams (half the shit from Build Fighters Try like EZ-SR, Denial, Mega Shiki, Lunagazer, Lighting Zeta, Hi-Nu Vrabe, Amazing Strike Freedom, etc. a bunch of new side story shit like the GM Dominance for various Gundam manga) and providing reference designs for Bandai to create new kits from (HGCE Impulse, upcoming HGUC Blue Destiny Unit 1, etc.)

>>15699055
Michaels sells ribbon that has wire on both sides, I grabbed a roll of that and folded it in half to get the size I needed, then attached a second wire at the bend using iron-on adhesive to keep both the wire and the two halves in place. The ribbon attaches to the backpack with a cut sprue that's ironed on the same way as the wire was.

>>15693302
I like the look of that FA 0 Gundam

a great modeler and decent mech designer, but his official MS art and lineart are inferior to Katoki or Takigawa.

>>15698736
Goddamn, Naoki killing it like always. Super novel concept too. I wish there were more Asian modelers that followed his design sensibilities instead of the ones who insist on throwing a pound of greeble and plastic on top of a model for the sake of detail.

>>15698990

You can, but I'd say you should still thin it decently.

First time buying Gunpla? Bandai usually have promotional campaign stuff that they give to retailers to throw in.

>>15699403
This is my fourth one from Japan, and yeah I've not had this since my Turn A.

Cheers for telling me.

>>15699424
Why.

>>15696901
What's the idea?
Just build the kit
You don't need a groupbuild just to build, man

>>15699424
What the fuck.

>>15687994
I just got an mg Providence myself, how was it (if you've already built it)? Do I still have to watch out for those snaptastic SF 2.0 hips?

>>15699458
I was planning on a kitbashing a mark raison based build, but it's only thicc area is the arms.

of course building anytime is fine, the groupbuild is usually just to motivate me. but i'm running out of shelf space, so i would like the builds to have some meaning instead of just finishing a simple build thats just paint and topcoat yknow?

Has /m/ built the best gunpla kit?

Don't want to install any more apps, my phone's storage is filled with tens of thousands of images from this site, only a couple hundred MBs of storage left, and if it survives for another month I can put them all on my hard drive when I build a PC.

Fucking hell, that's beautiful.

What's a good way to apply dry transfers?
I'm building an MG Epyon and want to put the more noticeable ones on, at least.
I don't normally try to apply decals but those white lines definitely appear to be part of Epyon's visual identity.

Well this should pave the way for Kirara tetra, Build Reiji, Sei MKII, Tatsuya Amazing, Felini rinascita, Super Shia, and Lady Kawaguchi Red Warrior.

Finally started on painting my MG Tallgeese 1. Something wrong with my airbrush though. What's the smart thing to do anons, replace faulty part on current airbrush or finally upgrade to a better airbrush?

Clean the thing ten times over just to be sure something is actually broken.

>throwing a pound of greeble and plastic on top of a model

Turns out, on the Megami Device site, if you do this, one of two things will happen:

1. Your MD can't clear entrance into the fighting stage
2. The MD's weight stat goes way up, and the battery life stat goes all the way down

>>15698736
What if that turns out to be for build fighter?

damn man, the pattern is sweet. How did you pull it off? Was it precut masking tape, or like some mesh net you covered it with? The lords have mercy on you if that was hand cut masking.

>>15699294
i'd add more dark red and dark grey to the chest, looks bland with that block of grey. dont know how close you want it to the monhun design, but maybe add more grey/dark grey accents

First time builder here. Ordered the Gunpla Starter Kit Vol. 1 that has the RX78 and The Zaku 2. Was $10 so I figured why not.

I have my cutting board, my tools, and everything laid out.

How do I deal with discolored nub marks?

Also, what color for line paneling looks better on white? Black or Gray? I only have a black marker.

Thanks in advance.

>>15700979
Paint.

Either/or.

Black goes on gray and blue, gray goes on white, brown goes on yellow and red.
