Thanks, the streaking on the side is typically done with oils, either enamels or artists oil paints, then I use a lot of odorless turpentine to do thinks like rain streaking. Oil-based paints such as enamels and artists oils are a pain to work with (because you can't touch anything) but are really good for weathering because they blend very easily.

>>15743175
Not that anon, but plaplate can be used for many things. The most obvious is building parts from scratch by gluing sheets together at different angles and sanding. It can be helpful for small details too, like making a shape on a blank area of a kit for some interest. Another usage is modifying proportions by cutting an area of a model piece that has no detail then gluing plaplate there and sanding it to the correct shape. See that shovel on the left? That's just a runner cut as a handle and glued to a few plaplates I sanded into the rough shape needed. Very basic, but it gets the point across without me needing to buy some special set.

Tallgeese and wing/wing 0, Kampfer and Alex or Ez-8 and Gouf custom? She dislikes the zeek designs so I would be getting basically one ot my three favorite antagonist designs.

Kampfer and Gouf Custom are great in HG scale, Tallgeese hasn't had an HG since decades ago but the MG is well made as many anons will agree. If you want to merely snap without work don't get the HG scale Tallgeese, that much is for certain. Wing had modern HG, RG and MG models so you're open on that.

Thanks for all the swift replies. Im thinking Gouf custom/Ez-8 to start as thats the series we're watching. But my idea now is to do rival sets with her. Stardust memories is next so we'll see which Gundam she likes better.

>>15744579
Nope they just have hundreds of prototypes hidden from all of us, no doubt they had the sandrock kai since the beginning of the first EW sandrock and only brought it out in response to the thrid party.

I wouldin't be surprised if they had MG of the Leo, Jegan, Unicorn 2.0 based on statue, Zaku Origins, Tristan(Which may or may not use the Alex MG frame) and various other kits we probably won't ever find out.

I mean they have shown us prototypes of an MG Nobel, Dragon, RIsing and Maxter Gundam,not to mention there was a Zaku Tank.

>>15744255

>>15744619
>hundreds of prototypes
Mmmah, no they have a lot of cad data on drives not prototypes. The first step in the process for the project is CAD, not sculpting a prototype.

>response to third party

No. for a large entity it takes a lot of coordination to schedule production amongst other items being scheduled. It was not a response, it was always going to be announced at this time to have an Oct release.

Honestly I think you may have overdone it, but that is just my opinion. I don't think it looks bad though!

>>15744878
With that level of weathering it looks odd that it's fully intact with no pits in the armor or gouges.
Although I know it isn't easy to intentionally damage a model.

>>15744904

Maybe yeah but I haven't topcoated yet and I can remove as much as I want pretty easily so I can always clean it up. I think some parts need a bit more open space of the original color, which is easy enough to do.

>>15744907

I wanted it to be more like its sat outside for like a long ass time rather than actual battle damaged, but I understand what you mean. That's the problem with weathering though you always want to make it look natural but it ends up too intentional and not accidental.

>>15744878
Weathering newbie mistake #1: Going overboard.
While it might work with model tanks and in dioramas where there's some context to the dirt and grime, on a standalone kit it just doesn't work.

Also I know I'm being a pedantic lorefag here, but in IBO the nanolaminate armor that makes MSs so OP is literally the paint, so seeing it worn off triggers my autism.

You are but I get it. Though as far as being OP in IBO the Gundams aren't really presented as that great (at least not compared to other series) compared to most other suits and neither is Nano-laminate.It's also multi layer so it should be able to be worn off at least to some degree.

Napalm melts it right off, It doesn't do basically anything at all against melee weapons, and close range firearms will rip it right off and long range hits can damage it as well though not as much.

It would never be damaged to that degree but yeah I get it.

>>15744946
Not to start a vs bullshit thread but:
> IBO the Gundams aren't really presented as that great (at least not compared to other series) compared to most other suits and neither is Nano-laminate.
The Gundams thing in IBO was mostly the twin reactors, every MS had nano-laminate armor. Also nano-laminate is pretty much immune to beam weaponry, so there's that.

>Napalm melts it right off,
Not actually, that one scene of Biscuit freaking out about the napalm was just him freaking out.

>It doesn't do basically anything at all against melee weapons, and close range firearms will rip it right off and long range hits can damage it as well though not as much.
Weapons in IBO are the way they are BECAUSE of how OP nano-laminate armor is. It's not that the armor doesn't help against these things, it's that these things were developed to counter nano-laminate because it changed warfare forever in the setting.

as long as its not ridiculous shitposting I don't see the issue really.

>It's not that the armor doesn't help against these things, it's that these things were developed to counter nano-laminate.

But isn't that exactly the point? It's not some kind of invincible super material (at least not anymore) so it CAN be busted and broken. McGillis even comments about Mikas Nano laminate armor being blown off by repeat hits to the back of Barbatos and it wasn't more than 2 or 3.

>that one scene of Biscuit freaking out about the napalm was just him freaking out.

I don't know if I buy that. If a few bullets can take it off, flaming molten goo sticking to your MS is probably not good for the paint job. Actually if anything id argue it's worse since i'm pretty damn sure the inner frame ISN'T covered in Nano laminate. You get napalm on or in your shit and your joints might melt apart.

Still I think it is mostly irrelevant as I believe most of the armor doesn't corrode anyway with or without the coating.

I just think it looks cool. Not trying for accuracy if I wanted that I'd have just kept it factory.

This looks amazing.
It makes the Astaroth really look like it was dug out of the ground and put together.
As a standalone build the weathering seems a tad bitexcessive, but in the right context it can work.

What do you with a part that's stuck /m/? Like if it won't go in all the way like it's supposed to and can't be pulled back out either. It's stuck halfway. I haven't found anything in the guide about dealing with this.

Is it ok to do enamel washes on top of Alclad topcoats?

>>15745131
Jobber mafia

RG unicorn transformation isn't that bad. Only had 10-15 parts pop off in transformation. Arm and head articulation are shit.

>>15745336
Everything I've found elsewhere says no, because Alclad topcoat is enamel and not lacquer, unless you used the acrylic Alclad stuff

>>15745364
Aqua gloss? I'm just looking if I can also use my airbrush for topcoats since I've been priming with it lately. Though alclad is harder to buy in my country than rattlecans like mr topcoat

Among my built kits it's only
6 1/100 NGs
15 MGs (including the patlabor alphonse)
MG rex ver black
4 bandai 1/72 star wars kits

My backlog is crazy though, like 8 MGs, 2 PGs (Unicorn and banshee), Rex, Ray and Sally, about 7-8 star wars kits and the ARX-8 from Koto. and Oh yeah, the Hasegawa 1/72 f¤ Phantom II Ace Combat 20th anniversary edition

They never said they didn't want to do more with gunpla mafia, just the other world. And that's because giving more focus to a fantasy world and the world building it would need would detract too much from the gunpla battle theme.

Gunpla mafia was always fair game.

I tried to thin gesso 50-50, ran too thin.

Made gesso - thinner 60-50, had to thoroughly clean the airbrush because of all the gunk.

Pantyhosed the solution, ended up too thin.

Gesso is shit.

Also, the cloak doesnt really align properly because the chest protrudes too much.

>>15747087

>>15747087
Never use modelling cement for tightening up a joint, it works by melting the plastics together rather than as an adhesive.
Clear nail polish or thin superglue is best for joint tightening.

Same, but in 2015.

Does anyone know which action base this is? I had initially thought it came with the Kaname figure bust, but after I finished building her, I realized it was sold separately.

Want to make sure I get the right one so I can display the VF-31F and Kaname together.

>>15747176
It looks like just a regular Bandai action base 1.

>>15746850
What is that? a limited edition metallic?

>>15747064
The problem isn't even that they're loose. It's that the major joints of the shoulders and hips are very thin, very soft plastic. I haven't noticed anything off with the shoulders but they feel like they'll snap when you move them, and the hips are even worse. Just pegging them on had stress marks on all four sides on the hole, and the whole assembly flexes worryingly with the smallest movement.

As I said the kit is nice, but it's hard to enjoy something you worry about breaking just from posing it.

Is it really a hand grenade as /gpg/ says it is?

>>15747698
They don't call the line Real Grenade for nothing.
What, you didn't think the G stood for Grade did you?

>>15747698
Sorta? It's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be though. Kneecaps and toes are held on by friction, and tend to not stay if touched. Forearms are kinda iffy too, but that's really all I've noticed.

I think the Gaeon in the pic is the perfect example of a gunpla with just the right amount of light weathering. You have to remember that mobile suits are supposed to be as big as fucking buildings. Just imagine if the life-size 1/1 RX-78 in Japan (or any building for that matter) was to be left abandoned without anyone to clean and maintain it. Its paint will start to chip from the edges, dirt will accumulate, and it'll become discolored due to constant to the elements, but probably not to the point where it'll have giant ass splotches of mud/dirt all over it. The big weathering marks you see on tank and fighter plane models look OK since, relatively speaking, they're A LOT smaller than an MS. Unless it's combat damage, big weathering marks on gunpla just messes with your sense of scale, and makes you think that something looks "off".

>sense of scale
Does anyone really appreciate the scale of a MS from a 1/144 High Grade, unless you put it on a diorama/next to a 1/144 scale tank

Daban quality is eh, DM is better.

Daban 8808 MG/100 MB Exia + R2 + R3 + Avalanche

(TL Note: The four pictures are, from left to
right:)

Exia
Exia R3
Exia R2
Avalanche Exia

This product is a model kit that requires assembly. Currently the factory has only produced gray-colored prototypes. The finished product will be fully colored and have over 800 parts, and it will be of higher quality than the 8802 MG Strike Freedom. Preorder discount window is only open for a week, subsequent batches will be more expensive and they will not include the R2 and R3 parts.

Gundam 3.0

The elbows and knees are a pain in the ass to build for a first timer but other than that it was pretty easy.

>>15747581
Just come to New York. The stores here have plenty in stock anon.

>>15747536
There's no way in heck one of the Banshees (vanilla or Norn) will be P-Bandai

One of the best Dragon Momoko models. They've improved so much from the Tallgeesessssesesse

>>15747790
Dont underestimate P-Bandai abilities to be total jews.

Is the Strike Freedom effect parts, just the effects, or does it have the HG too?

>>15747784
Jokes on you I live close enough to the border I could.

>>15747808
It's like the MG version.
You get the main kit plus the effect parts.

>>15747699
Idk my first RGs were the ARF and Exia. Both were very solid. I just want to know if the Sinanju is as solid as them.

>>15747812
Goddammit. I just purchased a spare Strike Freedom for the X30A I was doing.

I really want to get a Testament but its backpack and shield looks so small compared to the actual proportions. Is it worth it anon? Based momoko is tugging my wallet with the Avalanche Exia and i might just get this too.

>>15747774
Thinking of getting that if thats the case, but Daban's plastic quality is still shitty and the super tight fitting issues and I'm gonna bet that Exia will suffer from the same issues too.

Wait a sec, why did the Aquatic Gundam get a P-bandai release but there are no kits for the Aqua GM?

>>15747833
How are the stickers/decals?

>>15747833
The Testament is definitely worth it. Sure, the backpack is lanky, but I think it's for good reason - the model's actual ability to be able to support it in both modes without sacrificing stability.

>>15747767
RIP ;_;7

>>15747749
Well, sense of scale aside, small scuff and weathering marks just look better in general. Case in point, the Astaroth made by anon.

>>15746543
I would freaking love if they, and it would make sense to complete the Kimaris family line. But like the Vidar, it would need new feet

>>15745506
I started with an Ez8 after I got heavily into the first Renpou vs Zeon arcade game. I actually wanted the Gundam [G] but I couldn't find it. Still lots of fun though.

It's hard to find anything in the US and when you do it's horribly overpriced.

Gamestop and comic book stores tend to have them around me, oddly enough.

It's already been proven not to be, although the sideskirts still explode so I guess you can't have PERFECTION.

Are you going to do anything besides just snap it together?

Are there any kits that come with a hyper-focused/cutting torch beam saber or is that something I'd have to custom build?
