>Is an airbrush really worth the $2-300? I'm just getting into painting, and don't know if I'm going to be doing anything like weathering or even serious amounts of painting, and it really just doesn't seem to be worth the investment. Is it really that much better than hand painting with a brush?

$300 is a good estimate of the cost of the airbrush, compressor, paints, mixing tools, cleaning tools, respirator, painting tools (masking, holding, etc), and maybe even a booth.

it's worth it if you want to enjoy airbrushing. It's not necessary if you want to enjoy an MD or FAG. It can maximize your enjoyment of a gundam.

pick up airbrushing if you want to pick up airbrushing. not because you want to pick up gundam/models/whatever.

That's the best hint ever. Should be pinned here and on /tg/ as well.

Never.

Sadly, these are never ever.

I'd like figuarts personally. They do muscle guys pretty well.

Franzburg a cute.

Darklight Crypt (the skull tower with wings) is the only one,, except maybe Boomer (green dynamite troll). Everyone else is pretty common.

>>6223260
Darklight Crypt is rare? How much can I get rid of it for? bought that skull dude + level for my kids years ago but they've grown far out of toys to life now.

>>6225352
lose? about $6.Total lot is about $20.

>>6222269
Not true.
Swastikas, the nazi type, are not forbidden in a historical context (i.e. like a documentary or a history book) or certain “art“ (like movies, theater, satire).
Videogames or Manga (see: Hellsing) for example do not count.
As long as it's used to teach, to research, to educate in non-glorifying way it's all good.
I am not sure right now how the rules are on miniatures or “toys“, but I doubt they are allowed there.

Germans are high on keeping up their past and educating about it, the “no swastika“ rule is to make sure people can't use it in a positive light (like on flags or other neo-nazi merch) or to deny what happened.
The NSDAP is forbidden, so their “logo“ is of course too.
In school you learn a lot about Nazi Germany and there are constantly WW2 documentaries running on certain TV channels.

>>6222268
Revell is a German company, doubt they will make little swastika stickers for their buyers.

>>6222268
Because in Germany is illegal to sell merchandise with Nazi symbols.

You tell us, Lindbergh.

>>6221548
probably not well, the wings don't have an airfoil design so they can't create the pressure difference for lift

But there are flaps which seem attached to wires? Remote-controlled?

If the flaps are angled right and can be altered during flight, it should be able to fly ...

Thanks to the magic of time-lapse, the pieces are already washed. Let's get these open and get shit sorted.

Bags are different texture; the vanity is brittle and tears easily, the computer desk is really goddamn resilient and coated in carcinogenic factory dust.

Instructions are just printed on one side, back is blank. Logo is a little artifacted.

Taking a look at that hottie, can't wait to get to that waifig so let's get going!

Proportions look better on the Sentinel one.

>>6135251
>opinions

I personaly think the Sentinel one looks like garbage, both the proportions and excesive surface detail.
The aoshima is the most accurate, revoltech and kotobukiya kit are good stylizations that stay true to the design. SRC looks good too, and compared to this SOC might end up looking better proportion wise, like Daizyujin did.

>>6135553
I didn't like the Sentinel either, mostly because of the excessive surface detail, nevermind the salty pricetag. The Aoshima just seemed like a great candidate for something that'd display well with the SoC Mazingers, but it'll be interesting to see how this one will fare.

Airazor needs a new toy, partly because she/he doesn't have a good show-accurate figure, and partly because I want Based Sakamoto-Senpai's crossdressing office lady in plastic form.

>>6222721
>What other BW characters do you think deserve updated figures?

Rhinox, Rattrap, Megs, Dinobot, Black Arachnia, Tarantulas, Waspinator. Not in that order, mind you. Just those are the ones that I feel deserve MP's. Also if I had it my way, Cheetor wouldn't have gotten any MP, because really, was he ANYONES favorite? I always saw him as annoying.

these hinges don't serve any purpose, do they?

>>6215030
Remind yourself you're buying dollies and that makes you a faggot. Then buy something cool, like robots or trucks that you can smash together.

Seriously, I don't know what to tell you. I think Hot Toys are fine, but I wouldn't be spending a grand in two months on them, since they don't appeal to me that much. If it's what you want and you CAN afford it, no reason to change. If you're going broke, well... stop being fucking stupid and putting yourself in debt for plastic.

>>6215030
Hot Toys don't age well. The bodies are rubber and will eventually crack. Remind yourself that their longevity is poor and they won't make it to see your grandchildren.

>Hot Toys don't age well.
I am aware of this but me having fun with a Harvey Dent 2 Face that I got 2 weeks ago - I've been so happy.

I ordered an Indiana Jones Hot Toys now and I am so excited to have it in my hands :)

Even though I know they may not age well just something about them makes me want them so bad

Recap of last thread:
> boiling might help
For minor distortion of resin doll parts.

> recasts
This is a multi-factorial problem on various levels of human character and integrity.
This is an anti-recast thread.

> good face up artists on /bjd
They're not taking commissions.

> Centaurs
...with lewd butts

> Realistic vinyl bjd from Granados
There is promise here for the lack of better alternatives. But what about the future of resin?

> even has pubes
doll foreheads with pubes. Isn't supposed to be some kind of third-eye?

> Hating on Choo
Same face syndrome

> Repairing cheap, ruined dolls
The seller still wants like, full price for it.

> Miku 2017 DD is underwhelming.
inb4 miku is mah waifu

> Culur is copying? Rafael/Pasha, Enchanted doll, Dollstown incident.
Wait, everyone is copying now. I'll just close my store so nobody can copy.
Stop copying me.

> Identify X doll for me to resell it.
Read the faq. The truth is out there.

> Buying default fullsets are boring.
It could be worse. Like the horrible ass-clown bjds out there.

You're so good with the recaps. Thank you for your work.

Can I get some recommendations for high fashion doll clothing? I'm so jealous of Sybarite and Fashion Royalty owners' clothing options. I guess it's to be expected since they're FASHION dolls first and foremost but I wish some of their clothing makers would make dresses for dolls from Unoa, for example.

>>6170511
I love unoa and I'd really like to see one in high fashion clothes and shoes.

Regarding people's dolls looking messy or nice, I'd rather see 1-2 well styled and beautifully displayed dolls than a big jumble of ghetto styled dolls with wonky eyes, ratty wigs and low quality clothes just stuffed into a cheap book case. But that's just me. I will never have more dolls than I can display well maybe with just a few in a rotation and put away for a time. Otherwise, I'd need a whole doll room to actually do it nicely.

Wide stance, hip thrust.

That's great and all but there's a thread for this stuff. Use the catalog new friend >>6218132
