>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.

Would anyone be able to help me with a Taobao order? I seem to be stuck at "Waiting for the warehouse to sign" with no option to pay anything. But on another page it says "Current transshipment state: parcel is being sent to transit warehouse, to be transferred after the warehouse receipt, please pay the transfer fee"

I haven't touched gunpla in over a month. I did 4 MGs in a row with a couple HGs thrown in and I just got burned out. It didn't help I fucked up my GM Sniper IIs foot and haven't fixed it yet. So that kit is currently like half finished right now. I really should work on my backlog.

>Can you teach us your Oyumaru recasting technique?

I'm not exactly good at it, all the parts I made turned out terrible, even the two I used on the kit are slightly misshapen and have an obvious "cast" look that makes them seem out of place, but here are some tips:

-It's good to poke holes in the bottom piece of the mold and press the top piece into them to make sure everything lines up right, like how gunpla pieces go together.
-I noticed that it's important to shake the oyumaru off after putting it in hot water to get it mostly dry, having a lot of water in the mold will make bubbles that cause bulges in pieces.
-clean the molds before melting them down again, mine has a bunch of flakes of milliput inside it thanks to me neglecting to do that
-the hardest part of the whole process is filling the mold completely while not putting too much in to put the second part on properly, making extra channels or holes for excess to go through(kinda like Gunpla runners) helps a bit but you have to be very careful to only put in the exact amount of material the piece needs, it won't just squeeze out easily if you press the two parts of the mold together, the mold will just warp and you'll end up with an overly thick piece with giant pieces of flash
-try to avoid having seam lines in the middle of the piece, I found that I was better able to mold the piece in pic related with the mold in pic related that covers most of the piece rather than just half, the oyumaru is soft enough to just bend it until you can wiggle the piece out

>And how thick out of the can were these Krylon sprays you used?

They were fine after some shaking, coat of paint wasn't too thick unless I sprayed too close or too slow, but a few times they made an extremely rough sandpaper texture on the pieces if I didn't shake them properly, spray on whatever you're using to hold the piece first to tell if the paint's coming out properly.

Putting together the RG Qant and I gotta ask, is it just me or is the connection of the shield's swivel really weak?

I mean it's a peg and a hole, but if I try to rotate the shield, the peg falls out.

>>15829585
It's pretty finicky. In theory it has a locking mechanism where it can only be removed at a specific angle but it breaks very easily

>>15828471
Looks like they are trying to China you up. Hope it wasn't too expensive an item.

>>15829596
Guess I'll thicken it with some glue then.
Also it seem that the rotation on the upper arms is really loose. Is that just my kit or is that normal with all the RG Qant kits?

>>15829605
no, but it's odd because I didn't have an issue before

>>15829609

>>15829069
>It doesn't, this was a resin conversion kit.
I was trying to figure out where you got X-0's gun blades and I guess that explains it.

>>15829708
hmm, well it's loose on mine. Superglue seems to be doing its job though.

>>15829688
You won't need to worry about the size of the feet once you get the skis on.

>>15829486
I also tried following that one FAG guide to recasting faces on that wiki page, but doing it with epoxy resin builds up heat that the oyumaru mold deforms.

I don't know how that one guy managed to do it.

Yeah go ahead. Just be careful with the sleeves: don't make them too tight.

Also optional rule, build the backpack first.

Has anybody here tried assembling a model together without instructions or an image to go off on? I feel like it could be a fun 3D puzzle that could have interesting outcomes.

The usual plan is once the current Groupbuild ends, we do a short poll for what everyone's favorite entries were while discussing possible ideas for the next Groupbuild. Once that one's done I'll make a strawpoll for what the next Groupbuild, and we'll probably start in the middle of September.

First post of my build here. Please be gentle senpais


Next project on my list is weathering, which I know jack shit about. Any starter tips?

>>15831224
I've seen so much conflicting info on this I don't even know anymore. People have reported everything from "it won't do anything" to "only if you use too much will it actually crack" to "it practically disintegrated in my hands."

Personally I've tested it on only one kit, and it's still sitting on my shelf in one piece, perfectly fine. Last time someone asked this question was like a week ago and I took that kit and messed around with it and was fine then, and it's still fine now. But I'd still hesitate to use it on bare plastic regularly. Plus giving it a quick gloss coat before using the panel line accent actually helps it flow better, in my experience.

>>15831224

Do it without any paint or clear coat at all on your own risk. I wouldn't recommend it.

>1/1 Unicorn

Why am I even still breathing ? End my suffering

>>15831264
>actually thinking a secondary-at-best suit from a mediocre series should get a statue built of it
Yeah, you should probably go ahead and kill yourself.

>>15831254

Well, my quick experience with it before I stopped using it on bare plastic:

>use it on a 1/100 graze with no issues
>use it on RG zaku until a wasteskirt broke from me moving it slightly

The thickness of the plastic and how the panel lines work probably matters a lot, with the RG there were several tiny and thin pieces forming the panel lines on the waistskirt.
Which obviously isn't a good combination with a slow drying liquid that makes plastic brittle.

>>15831264
I'd rather have Strike Freedom.

>weathering, which I know jack shit about.

1) Less is more. Don't go overboard with your weathering. Smearing a bunch of paint on your kit like pic related isn't weathering, it just looks sloppy. Also if you're thinking of trying to make bullet holes or something, keep them small/in scale.

2) Consider where you want to apply weathering. If you want your Graze to be used mainly in space, it wouldn't make sense for it to be heavily weathered on the feet with mud and stuff.

3) Look up some tutorials on youtube on stuff like paint chipping and washes.

>>15831272
The kit I used it on was an HG Grimgerde, which most of the pieces aren't that thick but it also doesn't exactly have a lot of lines that go over thinner areas, so that could make a lot of difference.

>>15831228

Chipping mainly goes on exposed edges and the like.

An easy way of doing it is to start with the sponge method and then merge some of the chips with a fine brush. Also, vallejo camouflage black brown seems to be the go to color for chips.

>>15831228
look up tutorials, they're incredibly useful if you're a beginner

The Nox Gundam looks and sounds edgy, but don't be too afraid. Underneath all that edge is a nice bulky MS with a soft side. Cool attempt at a psuedo-Gundam Mk V

Even in death he still serves, and this Heavy Flamer Rodi is ready to serve up something hot! This is only the first of many Rodi entries in this groupbuild, and one of two 40k-inspired builds!

On the more simple side of things we've got this Revive Qubeley. Not much to say here other than good work on the panel lining.

Last of The Os is the Regal Goliath, taking an already large suit and bulking the heck out of its feet/arms/shoulders/chest. The Gyan head really accentuates the size of the thing.

"An early prototype made by Anaheim Electronics after the war not intended for production or to sell, but simply to gather more data on more thickly armored and heavier ms." That's the information I received for the builder on his Golioth.

>>15831443

I usually feel like weathering is extraneous and takes away from the look of a build, but then there's the inevitable opposite like this, where weathering would probably accentuate the look by complementing the organic parts.

Nice sculpt.

And here's the group photo for the groupbuild. Asides from a few initial kinks this groupbuild was really fun with a good mix of Gundam types, Zeon MS, and AU suits.

I'm gonna do another poll like the one for the Melee groupbuild where you can vote for specific categories for each entry. This poll will run from now until the end of next thread (So this one and the next). After that we can start polling for the next Groupbuild.

I initially started these groupbuilds with the goal of encouraging self-improvement/experimenting with new techniques in these threads, as well as to get more people to actually building and not arguing with tripfags. You shouldn't feel afraid to enter just because you see one or two really good entries during one groupbuild.

>>15831591

>>15831610
I did Para-DX for the melee one but sadly was tied down by real life for this.
I always try to enter since i really like the groupbuilds, can't wait for the next one though.

>>15831614
>Maybe Shell or UPS.
Hell no anon, the color scheme is inspired by ferrari, but I don't actually want it to look like one.

Whuch gundam markers are better for panel lining? I've been using the fine tip pens but i'm curious about trying the real touch markers.

>>15831610
I agree, I always try to enter despite not doing any customising (just painting the kit) and most of the time I get no votes at all, but I still enjoy the idea of a competition and it motivates me to try more and new stuff every time.

Didn't enter this time though since I loath the theme. Looking forward to the next one.

How the fuck do I proper remove nubs/stress marks? I have gundam planet nippers and I cut close, and 1/2 the time it does the job, but other times it leaves a very close stress mark. If I use heavy sand paper(600?) it fucks up the plastic and light paper (1200?) doesn't do shit and still fucks it up a tiny bit.

Which 1/100 or MG should I start with in general? I REALLY liked try burning, but I hated it after adding the fire pieces (looked bad and were impossibly hard to attach/study the back/strands on the fire punch. My favorite build I have done so far visually is Star winning (real mode), but the stickers look like ass.

I'm still waiting on mine, USPS is being retarded about updating the shipping and managed to lose the package for like 2 days earlier in the week. Should be here tomorrow and I hope so, it looks like such an amazing kit even compared to Bandai stuff.

what's the largest thing you've misplaced?
I lost an entire runner and I've been looking for 30+ minutes.
I'm positive that it phased out of existence

My will to build gunpla or even live
I keep buying gunpla I think I'd like thinking it'd motivate me to build but no matter how much I surround myself with things, I still feel pretty empty and unmotivated

Only reason I still go on this general despite not being too interested in gunpla anymore is that you guys are the closest thing I've got to friends and a social life

Who's the chick with the black jegan? Where is she from

>>15831449
Sadly I'm not quite confident or skilled enough to attempt weathering. This is my second painted kit, and I'm still struggling with acrylics.

Once I have the money I'm going to go 100% for lacquers. Acrylic isn't worth it.

最終的に頼んだのはガンダムタイプ、仲間外れで喜んでる日本人どもで2004年で見限ってる、現に作れていないし、聞く気も無い、海外で言うゾンビロック、演奏中に勝手に舞台に上がって騒ぐ馬鹿集団、日本のはまさにそれ、嫌いになったのが2004年、そして20017年の今頃にお前は嫌いだと言われても負け犬の遠吠えにしか聞こえない、色はあまり関係ないみんな皮肉や悪口みたいな物、みんな海賊名とかモンスターとか、ジムスナイパーのエンブレム、カメレオン=本体は緑色、でも色々な色に変われる

Well, I would.

>Spray Testors Matte topcoat on plain plastic
>Looks like greasy shit
>Spray Testors Glosscote on piece painted with Tamiya spray
>It eats through the paint and looks like crap
Is it just the weather conditions or is Testors simply not good for gunpla, much less tamiya.

I'm testing the paints again as I write this, but I figure I'll ask as I'm waiting for my spoon to dry.

>>15832892
I've been suspecting for a while that Testors tends to only cooperate with its own brand stuff, besides Testors topcoats/lacquers having a much stronger solvent than the other brands.

>>15832321
Deep space theme?

>>15832928
>Purchased multiple testors canisters because it's hard to get paint, much less topcoat, where I am
I hope to fuck my current paint test works

Love people like you, when you quit the back log gets sold for cheap.

How many groupbuilds have there been thus far?

>>15832321
I have an idea for GM in mind, so I will for GM as the theme of next group build.

Yeesh, I thought I'd never have to see that again since I boxed it away forever

>>15832321
I'm down for a ranged groupbuild, it would be pretty nice to have a parallel

>>15833258
It's based on the Gundam God Master, and yes, it's sexy as fuck.

Do funnels count as ranged?

Sorry for being a pleb. I haven't seen Kamen Rider.

Its fine, just correcting since the builder isnt here. It is perfectly reasonable to assume it was god master based if you haven't seen ex aid.
