>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.

Why does the /m/ Gunpla OP have pics of random boxes instead of poster's builds with the "Gunpla General Read the Guid" text over it?

>>15755185

probably because the guy who makes the edgy magazine cover OPs keeps getting banned all the time.

How difficult is it to save a pic and then put text over it? Not the magazine stuff, just the way its always been done, and is still done on /toy/.

I think its way better than just random box art. And its a tip of the cap to anon's how post their finished fits for precious (You)s and validation.

Holy shit mecha gaikotsu almost destroyed his unicorn.
Gotta hand it to him, it's a sturdy kit and he almost managed to fuck it up.

>>15755218
Makes sense. He reviews kits like he reviews figmas.

>>15755218
How the fuck are you supposed to do that anyways?

Just from the front? IIRC, the MG has this weird mechanism where you pull something from the back and it pushes it forward.

>>15755226
>the MG has this weird mechanism where you pull something from the back and it pushes it forward
And so does the RG, I've seen like 4 reviews of it where they do it correctly.
This one for example: https://youtu.be/atGf6ltMTKM?t=9m59s

Say what you like about the guy who made the covers but at least he gave enough of a shit about the thread to make them.

>>15755218
mecha gaikotsu is the worst gunpla reviewer.

he speed builds, takes shortcuts and he gets a shitty kit as a result. he needs to take ownership that maybe some of his kits that he reviewed aren't that good because he rushed the shit out of it just so he can epeen to get it on youtube first.

Planning on sanding the nubs soon and painting it, but leaving it for now because it's going to be a while before I get to it. It's why I put on the dry rub decals, also it's hard as hell to get rid of nubs on the Jesta because the finish on it is so easily discolored.

Probably the MG, but the RG is technically more show accurate.

>>15755609
I thought they were pretty good asides from a select few that used older kits as a basis like Build Mk. II, Ms. Sazabi and Qubeley Papillon. Most of them are either based on more recent kits like the Sengoku Astray or were designed to be reused into their original base kit (Like the Gouf R35 into the Revive Gouf)

How is it? I've heard mixed opinions on it

>>15755648
It's pretty shit. The shoulder plates aren't free moving and they have these weird flap things where the arm connects to the torso that block forward and backward movement. The thruster wing things on the back are just rod-in-claw so angling them upward occasionally detatches them. Outside of that though it's pretty average. Most of the issues could be fixed, but the shoulder pads are pretty much fucked

im trying to build the PG Evangelion but getting the pieces into the rubber sleeve things is really difficult. i cant read japanese so im probably missing something from the manual. anyone here whos built the kid before and can provide some advice?

>an anachronistic release
I think this describes the Tristan perfectly.
If you ignore the context the Tristan came out in, it's a perfectly fine kit that any skilled modeler can make something good out of. By itself, it's not horrible.

Except, if you look at it in the context of current year, 2017, it's just simply a fact that it's on a technical level not up to par with what Bandai is capable of in the HG scale, not even to mention the 1/144 scale.
They're in the same scale -- different grades, yes -- but compare the RG Unicorn to the HG Tristan. Then think about the fact that they both came out in the same year and were made by the same company. You can even compare some of the IBO HGs that came out this year and last year, the HG Atlas, or even the HG Barzam or the HG Ground GM. Whatever you do, the HG Tristan really doesn't stand up well to any of those.

Also, the tallgeese absolutely cannot stand up without a stand.

>>15755720
Feddie AGE kits are pretty damn good and some have probably the best articulation on an HG out there for the price. Vagan models vary, but the Legilis and Zeydra were pretty good.

Early G-Reco kits range from meh to bad, but the later kits are pretty good (Dahack, Gaeon) and need a bit more work out of the box compared to other kits from the same year

>>15755609
>>15755616
Don't listen to him,just talking out of his ass. The build strike kits are pretty good, just some small problems for them like the Full package being sticker heavy on the backpack.

Other BF kits for the most part are pretty good because they were sourced from very decent kits to begin with like the K9 Sniper and the Megashiki.

If you're painting it then there's no reason for that anyways. Even if you weren't going to paint it completely a flat coat will remove the plastic shine for you.

>>15755824
>Can't stand up without a stand
Is it that back heavy?

>>15755360
Hahahha, I laugh in sympathy with your plight! When you look at it closely, it actually has less detail than the old Alex! The Alex even has more thrusters than the newer Tristan! Good for you for putting that thing under the knife to give it a bit more surface detail, but are you going to add in some more verniers as well so it's more a bridge between UC90s MS and UC100s MS like it's supposed to be?

>>15755523
Remove job, but add school and no disposable income to that list for me. I feel your pain.

>>15755854
Eh I just want it to look good while I keep it on display before it eventually gets painted.

Super back heavy. It was okay without weapons, but as soon as I added the dober gun, it toppled over. On a stand, it's okay.

On a side note, is there a trick to using those pegs that come with most kits to attach to an action base? Mine never seem to stay on and pop off constantly.

Help me pick some colors for this guy. Im getting a spartan-y vibe, and may do that.

>>15755948
Grab some microfiber fabric or something similar (The smaller the threads the better, mostly for scale reasons). Find a good connection point for where you want the cape to attach, and plan the cape around that. Make a template of what size you want the cape to be out of paper, and cut it out from the fabric. Trim the edges for your needs and attach it.

If you want to make a poseable cape this guide is a good basis. http://www.toymania.com/customcorner/lhcape.shtml

>>15755948
Cut up cloth is occasionally used. You don't want it to be made of plastic as it's going to have a limited pose unless you manage to articulate it by section if pieces off. There should be tutorials around the net.

So I just built my second kit, the RG Amatsu Mina. It was fun, though a big step up from my HG MS-06S. It doesn't feel quite as pliable as videos have shown the kit to be though, so I was curious. What can I do to ensure my kit is the best build possible? I'm not afraid of fucking up, just wondering if there's things I can do to ensure a better build.

>>15755982
>>15755988
So next question: Over the verniers or under? Going over would be like the Crossbones, slits cut to allow the verniers out. Under could possibly be split into 3 segments or something.

I really want a limited release Unicorn box ver.
But I'm trying to be smart and hold off for the eventual Banshee Norn and FA unicorn with Green psychoframe.
I'm really annoyed that they couldn't just release the Unicorn and Banshee at the same time though.

Anyone have any estamates for when we should be seeing P-Bandai variants?
I wanna guess some time in mid-autumn, but I don't pay attention to P-bandai stuff.

Man, that Blitz Arm is making me kinda annoyed that they never did RGs for the other GAT-X units.

GM Sniper K9 is pretty much the base GM Sniper II HG with a new backpack/gun and some 1/144 Zeon soldiers. Only flaw I've had with it are that the pistol holders don't really like to stay on and take the whole leg from the waist with them.

EZSR comes with a ton of option parts for kitbashing purposes or if you just want to make your own EZSR custom.

Build/Try Burning have amazing articulation and tons of different hands/effect parts, but are lacking in actual weapons if that's more your preference. Kamiki Burning apparently uses the same internal construction but I don't know how much the armor impacts on the posability.

There's probably gonna never be another kit like Tryon 3 out there, so if you're into the Super Robot aesthetic go for it.

Transient's a bit of a sleeper hit of a kit I feel. The all-white look probably isn't for everyone but it's really something with a new paintjob. Transient Glacier looks like trash though.

In all honesty the Build Fighters/Try line is pretty solid, the only kits you really should avoid are the Build Gundam Mk II, Qubeley Papillon, Miss Sazabi, Amazing Exia/Dark Matter, and any of the SD Kits. The Build Mk II could probably be fixed if you bash it with the Revive Mk II, but the others aren't really salvageable without heavy mods.

>>15756066
I haven't decided if I want to paint it, but ofc I'll be coating it and panel lining it as always.
I have only painted smaller parts of kits (shield recolours) and never done a while kit so I'm a lil unsure of how to go about it so I wanna try it out on some GMs

So for >>15755982 and pic related I actually used a ribbon that had wire on the edges that I cut in half and ironed together using the iron-on adhesive mentioned in that page I linked.

For >>15756071 I just used a cheap yard of black cotton fabric I got off Amazon. I meant to do that tutorial for it but I never got around to it. It's a bit on the glossy side however, so if you're looking for something more matte you might want to try searching for that.

>>15756114
I've thought about using ribbons, but I don't think they come wide enough for Grievous. I'm trying to find a good fabric for the Star Wars kits, but I feel like cotton is going to be too thick.

I always loved the Rick Dias. Wish it got more love for being zeta's "heroic grunt unit".

its the 1/72 VF-0S kit from Hasegawa
it does not transform and was a real pain in the ass to complete, would not really recommend it to people who have only built gunpla unless you want something a bit more challenging

Hasegawa released the Battroid form of this kit but the plastic in that one comes molded in a weird yellow color, not pure white like the Fighter mode

at least the wings can move

>>15756587
Just in time, I was thinking of a good Unicorn kit to get (I only have the non-transforming HG). I thought you'd have to be a newtype to assemble the RG, looks like newtypes were the ones engineering it instead.

>>15756692
Things like the Mack Knife and Recten are just so fucking out there, they look like they don't even belong in Gundam. Most suits though, specifically Grimoire, G-Self Prefect Pack, Jahhanam, and most others really, were pretty good.

Whoever is making the new profile pics should probably make the threads from now on.

Looks like a clean build, but some of those lines are pretty splotchy, especially on the hands. Rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab can easily remove the ink.

how do i stop the parts from getting that white mark when i snip them from the runners. i don't have any paint to paint over them.

>>15756861
You have to cut away from the part initially and sand down with files/sandpaper or knife it off. The only real way to remove any hint of a mark is paint. A flat top coat over the model will remove scratching marks.

>>15756861
Snip with a little bit of the runner left and sand it down
If you cut directly at the base of the part you'll likely cut into it, hence the little white mark

>>15756870
Also depending on the color of the plastic you may be able to slightly cover up the nub mark.
Black will always have one but you can cover it easily with a sharpie or something, while white will almost be unseeable so you won't need to worry
Weird colors like maroon are the worst because you absolutely need paint for it and it's dark enough to always leave a mark unless you get lucky

>>15756918
Newtype engineers high on psycoframe dust, channeling the power of SOREDEMO from beyond the time.

So i have a question for you guys
For a while (even though i have a huge kit backlog) I've wanted the white dingo gm sniper, with the MG sniper we got this year we also got the Mg Dingo and theyre somehow still in stock on gundamplanet or back in stock but the HG is going to be back in stock again and im trying to save my money so can someone tell me who has the HG version of the regular sniper or the white dingo tell me if its worth it getting the HG over the MG?

>mg unicorn is a few degrees away from being a brick

Bandai needs to give the guys who worked on this kit priority over everything.

My first kit was the HG Banshee norn and that came out well. I got rid of all the nubs and sanded what needed sanding then did some panel lining. It was a snap build, but it looked good. I painted it a few months ago as an anniversary project so I can't show it.

My first paint job however was kind of meh. The painting itself went well, but I screwed up when I tried to detail some parts. Also the paint job is a little boring and I didn't do a lot of color variation and separation. See pic related, the geara zulu was my first paint job, the Banshee is in the back.

Someone riddle me this.
The Astray I ordered by SAL arrived two days earlier than the expected earliest date, so it took just under 3 weeks. The Clone Troopers I ordered before the Astray have yet to arrive, and it's been over three weeks ( I thought I paid EMS on them but apparently not, even though i was given an EMS tracking number) Should I be contacting someone about this or just keep waiting?

I have to apologize for all of those grenade jokes I made prior to its release. They really put out a stellar kit.

International shipping is unpredictable. You might have gotten registered SAL if you got a tracking number and it's not EMS which isn't really any better than normal SAL.

Sow tih all the hyp for the RG unicorn, I have a question. Do you guys paint your RGs or not? Especially with the transformable Unicorn it would seem to me the paintjob would be destroyed in the transformation.

>>15758247
well not much point in painting the psychoframe. My concern is it'd be too tight to transform. Maybe mask all the part undersides?

I have an idea. Capes for everyone

Hey, anons.. Kinda sad here.

In an effort to tighten up my RG Sinanju's arm to shoulder joints, I ended up tightening it too much and broke it when moving the thing. A lesson learned.

Does anybody know a way I can get this replacement parts? Tried looking up things about Bandai Hobby but since Google translate is a mess and I can't read moonrunes, I'm having a hard time.

It's the F1 29 and 28 parts that I need.

Speaking of breaking shit,

a month and a half ago, i applied a fuckton of floor polish to my FM Vidar, cause his joints were shit.

fastforward to a week ago, and as i wiggle his hip joint off the rod, so i can edgeline the fucker, the rod snapped

fuckin' cost-cutting measures, making the hips as hollow as a fuckin' waffle.

I'm not sure if there's a stability meme or something, but I have one of those, it's sad about the v fin amirite, and I know why you're supporting that arm so hardcore with your hands while you do that.

He's no grenade but to get him that stable you're throwing down some cement or glue.

RG Banshee or FA Unicorn is more likely
But in terms of an entirely new mold I think the highest chances are.
RG Nu
RG ZZ
RG Sazabi
RG Turn A
RG Gundam X

Hey /GPG/, I plan on getting some Gunpla for use as miniatures in a tabletop game of Mekton Zeta, but I've got a question? What works better for my purposes? 1/444 or 1/100 models?

>>15758608

Gunpla is probably way bigger than you think, even 1/144 is pretty big.

what's the best way to remove old spray paint? i have a half-built HG sazabi that i started with the intention of painting years ago but the first coat went on extremely uneven and i haven't had any time to fix it since them because of college. i eventually want to strip the paint down and give it another go so its not just going to waste sitting in pieces in my basement

>>15758624
1/444 is like, 5 inches average, right?

>>15758608
1/44 is modern action figure size. 1/100 is 70's action figure size.

You might want to check out Heavy Gear miniatures or something similar.

I use denatured alcohol, red colored in my country and available in the supermarket.

>>15758648
is that just regular rubbing/cleaning alcohol? ive never heard the term "denatured" before

>>15758658
Alcohol is taxed in some countries, it's just alcohol with stuff in it so you don't drink it.

>>15758638
I'd say that's not that big, not when you could just make their surroundings fit their massive size. I've already got a few ideas for buildings and whatnot, after I get enough 1/444 Gunpla.

>>15758672
1.5-2 inches vs 5-7 inches

You do you, bro.

For tamiya paints, what happens if I mix the flat XF series with the regular X? I'm not trying to sound stupid.

Love it

>>15758606
If 1/100, the custom is nice. Comes with a ton of extra parts for kitbashing.

>>15758747
it should make it semigloss

>>15758747
>>15758779

Like anon said, X gives you a gloss finish while XF gives you a matte finish. They both airbrush easily with a 50/50 thinner to paint ratio

>>15758689
You found an old artifact.

>>15758779
Thanks. One more question, how clashing does it look if some colors are gloss and others matte if they're both going to be topcoated matte in the end? What about gloss?

Because the only purple Tamiya offers is gloss, meaning I'll have to mix red and blue if matte is desirable.

>>15758689
I actually have the rick Dom laying around.
You may need some glue for those old 0080 ones. They love to break.

Does this have the same shoulder problem as the rouei?

>>15757404
I don't paint or topcoat, but use this. I've never had an issue of the plastic crumbling to bits.

>>15758900

Then you can count yourself lucky. Enamel paint/thinner as well as lighter fluid makes plastic brittle. Look at the label on the jar, it states:

Caution: May cause plastic to become brittle. Do not apply to parts which must be pressed in or movable.

Now, the thickness of the piece you're using it on, how much you're using etc obviously matters, so you can get lucky and not have anything break.

However, recommending the product to someone without informing them of this danger is just shitty. I would not recommend anyone to use it on bare plastic, it's an unnecessary risk.

>>15758803
as long as you use a matte topcoat at the end, the colors that was gloss should be matte. i think it would be clashing if some parts were glossy and some were matte

>>15758803
i mean if its all topcoated the same way, how the pieces are prepared shouldn't matter much.

>>15758440

>>15758928
>However, recommending the product to someone without informing them of this danger is just shitty.

I was merely unaware it had that interaction. It wasn't my intention to sling misinformation, so thanks for educating me/them. I will consider myself lucky, and make sure to use the minimum to further mitigate risk.

>>15758953

Sorry if I came off a bit too hostile, I'm just annoyed at it not being mentioned in a bunch of videos/guides about enamel washes when it should be basic knowledge.

>>15758951
no.
