Gunpla/Plamo Secret Santa!

Sign ups run until December 4th. I'll try to have everyone paired up by December 6th.

Like last year, I'm going to have everyone fill out a Google form so I can collect the information easily.

Also, if you have some kits in your backlog that you are willing to part with feel free to email me a list and estimated values.

***Disclaimer***
If you want to enter with stuff in your backlog, that's fine, but please be aware I may not be able to pair you with someone who wants something you have to give away. If you cannot afford to purchase a new kit in case of that, please just hold off this year.

Ghost posessed grimoire. Only done the butchering on the torso section pending the actual modification. I'm going to be running a line of LEDs through the kit to put behind some effects I'm making for it that'll have ghost stuff essentially coming out of the damage.

Should be neat.

so what's your favorite gunpla blogs, /toy/?

also what's the general consensus on gundamguy & gunjap etc..?

>>5303303
What even is going on here? Which weapons does she come with? It better not be the hands because those are just Koto MSGs, but the buster canon and purple shields just don't go well with the girl at all.

>>5303318
What kit is that? What are ya planning for it?

>>5303366
Gundamguy is straight informative, but I don't follow it so much as go there when I need to see pictures of recent news.

I don't know really anywhere else to go for info, as I get all the technique tutorials I could want on youtube.

A lot of other gunpla blogs I've seen are generally run by dicks.

not too sure of his nationality. He used to have his face up on the site posing in sunglasses. The thing is he's allways making bitchy posts (in very broken english) accusing other sites of stealing his content when he steals a great deal of it himself.

gunjap almost literally copy and pastes from gundamguy

Any gunpla deals for BF/CM?

>>5303368
Knowing Koto and previous FAGs she probably doesn't come with anything except some basic weapons and the rest is seperate weapon packs. Heck, its based on the Architect Frame so it gives them more excuse to make it barebones

Actually nevermind, amiami to the rescue

Included parts:
>3 types of pre-painted expression parts (front looking face, illustration based right looking face, shy left looking face)
>New mold color made impact knuckles (can be exchanged to Impact Edge)
>Elbow joint parts for attaching Frame Arms "Architect" front arm
>3mm joint parts included for front arm part. Also, knee features 3mm diameter big peg attachable attachments on both sides.
>5 types of PVC made hand parts. Hand part can be exchanged with previously released Frame Arms Girls series hand parts.
>Left arm and right leg part to recreate image illustration (knee and elbow joints not articulated)
>Eye decals
Lots of reuse but a heavier focus on costumization

I need to fix a broken peg on my HG . Should I get the fine or the normal Tamiya drill bit set?

buy an hy2m head set and some 1/100 builders parts hands?

I recently got a kit from Mandy and it completely reeked of basement. This is common for goods from that site, at least in my experience, but usually the smell wears off once I get the items into open air. This one, however, I guess its stink wasn't just the packing materials it came in. Even after being built & left in the garage a few days, there's an awful scent. Anything I can do about it?

>>5303479
I've gotten temp banned for doing that before so do it at your own risk

I'm looking to make some grunt suits.

Clanche or adele?

>>5303491
Is there any way of explaining to the mods about the situation on the affected boards?

>>5303485

ive bought stuff from mandy regularly for 4 years or so, never had that problem ever. The worst thats happened to me was they sent me the wrong order so i got a huge stack of hentai instead of kits. After contacting them, they let me keep the hentai and re sent the kits once stock came in. cant complain. if you'd left it packaged theres maybe something you could have done but too late now youve opened & built it.

>>5303485
Dip it in febreeze?

Well, check sprues with it first. You never know what kind of shit is in air fresheners.

>>5303507
how much for tallgeese?

Do you paint parts then remove seams or paint after seams are removed? I imagine removing seams after would require you to repaint the seam area anyway.

AGE grunts are 10x better with the razor or artimes conversion kit. go for adele, it fits both. clanche doesnt.

>>5303517

remove seams, paint parts, assemble parts, resand & retouch the seams. pain in the ass i know but less masking that way.

Thinking about buying MG 1/100 RX-78-2 Ver 3.0
Anything I should know?

>>5303496
Personally I'd go with the Adele because I like my all-rounders, but both are top-tier.

>>5303527

its the best rx-78 for engineering & articulation so if you like the look of it go for it. Animufags like the 2.0 for looking like the original series (no detail basically and the worst articulation of the MG's behind the 1.0), the OYW version has dated articulation but great panel lining & details while keeping the proportions of the original series ...and theres the new origin version which i dont own so cant comment on. It looks nice i guess but after buying 4 rx78's fuck who cares anymore. someone else will have it to talk about.

I...i thought It was great.

>>5303558
>(no detail basically and the worst articulation of the MG's behind the 1.0)
Are you retarded? The 1.5 elbow joints only allow for a measly 90 degree bend and the ver. Ka's leg joints have poor bend (slightly more than 90) and no ab/oblique articulation.

>>5303482
>buy an hy2m head

man those things have been out of production for nearly a decade.

>>5303570
Mandarake to the rescue. (Though she's 4k so you should get something else to go above 5k to avoid 500 yen handling)

>>5303527
Copper paint for the joints. Or use the stickers and see how long they last.

>>5303578

theyre in stock at hlj and have been for a long time. bandai started reissuing them a couple of years back.

>>5303576

i didnt even mention the 1.5 or the ver ka. i was mentioning the good ones.

>>5303485
Baking soda?

>>5303500
I've gotten 2 kits from them before, the contents of their boxes smelled similarly, but it passed, so I assumed it came from the bubblewrap or something. This shit was unreal. For about $3 I gues I can't complain, but still. As far as leaving it packaged was concerned, DHL literally destroyed the box during a random inspection, so I might have been screwed on that front to begin with. The built kit doesn't fill the room with odor as the sprues/box/manual did (had to throw them all out), but a deep sniff up close will not go unpunished.

>>5303506
I kinda get the impression it'd then just smell like a febreezed basement. My allergies are sensitive to the stuff anyway, unfortunately.

>>5303598
That's a thought, hmm.

I havn't got any of the other RX MGs to compare, but the articulation on 2.0 is fine. Unless the other kits can rotate the torso 360 degrees, which I doubt due to the core fighter function being essential.

Hell, the kit was designed and marketed with doing poses from the anime in mind. many of which were more organic and human-like than previous RX-78s were capable of.

Mandarake also likes to kill trees.

Considering how little it gets new production runs and its current rarity, would $25-$30 be an okay price for 1/144 hydra gundam?

is GM sniper k9 a good kit?

Does anyone have the reprinting schedule for Bandai? Has the 1/72 VF 25 kits gotten any new production runs as of later years? Though I assume they're gearing up for delta now.

>>5303756
The only drawbacks are the pistol holders kinda suck and the 90 degree bends on the arms other than that it's great

Whats happening is that a local comic shop is having a black friday sale. There stuff is normally marked up even compared to other local places with gunpla, and they have a couple of old kits that are really marked up (hydra was $40). But at midnight they are having a 40% off sale for all figures and models. Just found out that my favorite hobbyshop is doing a 20% off all models deal too which is unexpected since they never have a black friday sale.

>>5303847
The only non-p bandai kits with shot lancers are a couple of old 1/100 F91 kits that are hard to find now.

The shoulder to binder arms support the weight just fine, at the detriment of actually fitting together fine.

It's the shoulder to torso connector that stinks. Mounting heavy equipment to shoulders is always a no-no.

>>5303558
>its the best rx-78 for engineering & articulation

It's also a flimsy piece of shit

So what kits desperately need a revive among the older kits? Lets hear those hot opinions.

>>5304014
Zeta, Zephyranthes, maybe the Alex, wouldn't hurt for the Exia to get one to colour-correct those clear parts and redo the shoulder and hips,and the G-Saviour Space Type for the topkeks.

A hyaku shiki might be good too.
Basically a scaled down MG 2.0 with articulation fixed, as I heard the one with the mega particle cannon had articulation issues.

>>5304021
A GM with RX-78-2 articulation would fuck me up so great

>>5304028
Yeah, I wouldn't mind a Revive Shiki. I think the area of gold kits is over though, it would probably be cast in that faux-gold mustard colour. Not that I'm complaining, just a comment.

Thinking about the Alex, I don't know how much could be done as far as improvements beyond basic articulation bumps could go. All of those verniers are very small and dual coloured, doesn't seem like there's an efficient way to colour-correct them outside of painting.

Mg heavyarms is apparently selling well at barnes&noble to the point bluefin was having trouble keeping up with demand.

>>5304259

We're mostly talking hg. A couple of the wing mg getting made p bandai is different. Due to higher price and production costs, mg are riskier investments than hg are, which is why bandai will throw out stuff like the zII as an hg, but it will never see any mg release.

An hg of the other AC gundams is entirely possible. RG is a different story, although bandai did show that they were interested in it with that one poster image.

>>5304286
>Bandai
>Carrying about their foreign demographic
Just because us burgerfags liked Wing so much, doesn't mean the Bandai overlords give two shits about it.

What are some non-hobby specific brand topcoats you recommend?

>>5304304
Burgerland is pretty much the reason why bandai still makes dbz figures and keeps old wing kits in near continous production instead of like once a year like other older series.

>>5304300
No, the reason why we got a ZII is because a recolored version was one of the lead suits in the game with the Pale Rider. We aren't getting any new Wing media from Banrise like we are with UC. Without something to promote it even HGs aren't going to happen, Bandai has proven that by skipping suits like the Guncannon Detector and Gustav despite their cameos in Unicorn.

The reality is that non-lead Wing suits aren't going to get shit from the mass distribution gunpla lines.

the more people beg for something, the less Bandai will cater to it, especially if the gaijins are the one begging.

the altron was pretty much a 'fuck you' to all gaijins,

ive noticed the elevens have stopped completely pandering to westerners lately, not just with gunpla but with video games, cars, action figures, etc.

>>5304386
Where's the evidence that they are? Other asian nations have P-Bandai shops even if they stock late, Bandai only acknowledges the US because Bluefin is trying their damnedest to bring it over. Ex. Gundam info campaigns are arranged by bluefin and only available through bluefin partners.

>>5304390
Well thats because of demand and whatnot. So it makes sense that there isnt a pbandai shop in the states. With my experience in retail, people dont buy foreign stuff cuz "the instructions arent in English". Also depends where, so i can kinda see a bandai shop in la, new york and prolly oahu since thered be some interest. I mean yea its shitty but atleast theres still websites and sellers that stock up on em, so us westernbros aren't completely forgot about

Like over where i live, the hobbyshop owner personally goes over to japan/Thailand and stocks up on em. He doesnt get p-bandai but he gets dm or mc kits aswell. Shat myself when i saw that he had the gp04 and astray head bust aswell as the xi and dm tallgeese

Pretty sure most Americans here can tell that Bandai doesn't exactly hate or not care about the Western market in general. Look at IBO, they're pushing that shit hard over here. But at the same time, they're not investing in having any Expos or official shops here. It's not that complicated.

Tamiya acrylics are not meant for handbrushing.

How would the acrylic paints you can get at Walmart work for just minor detail on stuff?

>>5304592
Real bad.

>>5304576
That is the problem. I do thin it but then I get low pigment in each stroke and more of the clear gloss.
So when I start to get a solid color, the coat is thick.

>>5304595
that's too thin then.

LBX kits are great fun, I finally got around to building my Ezeldee and even without stickers or paint it looks great.

But it made me sad to think how they were a non gundam line on SD budget, if only a bit higher, with care put into it while SD Ex standards got shafted with no budget and even more stickers and gaps. If they had been LBX style gundams with similar engineering and price points I'd be all over that.

>>5305050

>>5305081
Have you bought any Legend BB kits

>>5305098
Only one but I've been meaning to get more, i know they're great but its still limited to the shorter/chunkier SD proportions and articulation, i like that LBX kits still have elbows and knees and SDEX kits give the impression that they tried to get there (at least in articulation) but gave up halfway since they stuck to regular SD proportions

i wish they would release a knight gundam kit with normal proportions. I cant into SD's either. I love LBX though.

>>5305081

theyre great kits but a lot of work if you want to paint them. Usually a lot more masking than an HG kit. Visible polycaps everywhere too (especially on d-ezeldee) which restricts your colour choices. I bought a few of the LBX modelling books from mandy if anyone cares enough to see how the japs paint them.

Would Krylon or Bosny be a better alternative to Temiya primer?

>>5305122

Wouldn't that be what it looked like in the series it's from

>>5305139
yes. for better results you can change the spray cap with a tamiya one so that it mists more finely

>>5305146
But which of the two,though? does changing the cap make the final product finer?

>>5305151
yes, changing the cap makes it better in my experience.

The Xi from Mechanicore is very, very, very similar to Elyn's kit. Piece layout, the type of details found all over, the way they do their CAD pictures and their prototyping, etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Elyn folks closed the company, relocated and opened up a new entity to get away from whatever situation caused the Kshatriya not being able to be shipped outside of HK.

Two things.

B&N now stocks barbatos hg kits (and probably other ibo kits) and for this weekend there is a 30% off coupon thats good for anything in the store. No membership required.

Does anyone hope we'll get another MG with RG aesthetics, the way MG 3.0 did for RX-78-2?
I'd really love new Mk.II and Zeta MGs.

>>5305357
The 3.0 wasn't made to have rg aesthetics so much as both the rg and the 3.0 were kits of the 1:1 gundam. And there are a couple like the nu ver.ka and sazabi that have a similar look.

>>5305357

>>5305349
>Are these things ever posable?
They are. Only the resin kits are statues.

>it just looks like they're made to be built in these boring ass poses with no character or dynamism.
They're models, not toys.

>>5305375
Model kits, even non-articulated ones, can still look dynamic anon.

>>5305270
Yeah, but this is just one kit in the geekshop

Because otherwise, members in our anime shop (cost $5 to be a member) get 35% off all model kits, basically normal HG kits are around $20-25, while transformable ones/bigger boxes can get over $30 AUD. Kshatriya is $60 here actually.

MG are around $50-57 however, but bigger kits like Nu Gundam Ver Ka are $100.

Actually we got the Perfect Grade Unicorn for Nearly $300 here I believe, as well as the LED lighting in stock.

So this shop is a slice of heaven in comparison to the prices of other shops.

I like how the shield becomes a tactical apron

>>5305496
>tactical apron
In my head, I always called these full armor codpieces, but I think I like tactical apron more.

>I like how the shield becomes a tactical apron
I like how Koto got off its arse and made a new FA that isn't a rehash or repaint or a variation of the existing ones.

Is there any way to get the little shoulder-chest parts on the Astraea Type F to stay on?
Every time one of them falls off I am brought a step closer to suicide.

>>5305600
Have you tried glue?

>>5305608
>>5305600
Seconding glue, anon. From what you say, it might just save your life.

>>5305328

$20 and shipping. which would be like 7$.

Is there any place where I can buy 1/100 scale weapons? I want to get a couple of these machineguns for my MG Zaku 2.0 and Dom

>>5305807
MG Dom comes with them, look for loose bits online.

Can I use this for gunpla?

>>5305880
Of course you can use it. Will it work? Well, there's only one way to find out.

>>5303982
what? hardly, it uses some parts from the 2.0, if one was floppy then the other would be too.

but idk, mine isn't at least, my 3.0 is pretty sturdy.

>>5305880
>>5305910
Those color cartidges are probably some sort of marker ink and not paint. Based on the image its spray is horribly messy as well.

>>5305912
The only 2.0 parts on it to my knowledge are the weapons and the corefighter.

>>5303518
would the Graze be compatible with the Razor kit?

>>5303878
Earth magnets maybe?

>>5306087
Graze? No. It attaches to the AGE-1's limbs. The Adele uses the AGE-1's limbs. You'd have to modify the Graze to fit it.

>>5306087
From the bicep down on the arms should work since its just a 3mm peg iirc (you may have to shorten or lengthen the peg though). The shoulders and legs won't work without mods due to different connections (although if you clip a piece of 3mm peg and use the balljoint adapter from the amazing booster you could add the shoulders).

I don't think the skirts would work.

>>5306145
Although you would have to buy an age-1 normal or an adelle to make it work for the joints and hands.

>>5306145
>>5306149
Actually, scratch the legs part. I forgot the hips on both attach to the pelvis with a 3mm peg.

Heads up to folks who like 1/144 Kapool kits, Mandarake just got a grip in at Sahra, not sure exactly how many but I just ordered 3 and it's still available.
Been after some Kapools for a while, so excited.

Survived my first black friday and was able to ship out half my warehouse from hlj.
Cant wait for thw graze custom and dom r35

First time trying to paint how am I doing?

>>5306247
Looks good, but I think purple looks better on curvy suits if you candy coat it.

>>5306247
>how am I doing
>places a box of craft acrylics in the picture suggestively
if by "doing" you mean "baiting" I'd say you need more finesse

>>5304638
What do you think about this guy on Plamo Tsukurou hand brushing a whole tank, camo and all?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDXpmkBqcCc&feature=youtu.be

>>5303507

How much for that Seed shit?

>>5306349
Are you a souless nip machine with robot servos for hands and trained to build plamo before they were even born?

>>5306349
he literally used an airbrush in the second half you massive faggot

>>5306356
He used an airbrush for the _second_ tank you massive faggot. He even puts the handpainted and airbrushed tank side by side at the end of the video.

>>5306354
Imagine, that old guy was building and handpainting plamo before they invented airbrushes for it.

How do I go about painting this seat to look like leather?

>>5306361
Its like watching Bob Ross paint. It looks easy, but no way are you going to replicate that level of skill and talent. This nigga is freehanding camo with a single glance and without guides.

>>5306364
I would look up some cockpit painting guides for aircraft models, or ask the scale model general

Help? just getting trolled on /m/

Anyone have the GP Nippers? Are they really better than Tamiya nipper ? Want to upgrade my Xuron pair to something better with a reasonable pricing

>>5306385
You are getting trolled, can't say i've ever used GP, mostly because im not a faggot. But I absolutely have used tamiya and they certainly cut a lot cleaner than that!!

>>5306385
If both can be had for the same price, go for the GP.
I find tamiya products kinda overpriced for what they are.

>>5306385
As an alternative: http://smile.amazon.com/Squadron-Products-SQ10206-Sprue-Nipper/dp/B000GL1L60/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448683182&sr=8-1&keywords=squadron+nippers

I use these an they give me a nice clean cut.

>>5306385
Both are shit to be quite honest.

Hate to be that guy who just comes for recommendations but should I just grab the $80 kit in the guide? Or is there something better to get for maybe around $150? I really have no experience with airbrushing at all, but I don't want to feel the need to upgrade if I go with the $80 one and feel its not good enough once I'm familiar with painting.

>>5306467
Are you going to stick with this hobby?
If yes, just drop money on a good set and take care of it.

>>5306349
Pretty damn cool, wish i had hands that steady like him

>>5306467
Get the Master TC20t tank/compressor unit and a Badger Patriot 105 and a Badger to Iwata hose adapter.

>>5306385
I don't get why they uses runner pieces when comparing nippers. Shouldn't it be of a real piece before and after sanding down the nub?
>>5306437
Wait, for real?

>>5306476
the master compressor is shit

>think up cool kitbash idea
>know exactly what I need
>one if them is the HG zeta
>really like zeta and want to have a complete one
>would need to pay the price of the kit and shipping for essentially a pair of legs
i should've picked a different hobby

>>5306525
I would say I feel sorry, but we all chose this hobby bruh.
We all chose this path.
Also what was your kitbash idea?

>>5306511
Yeah, I was looking to replace my Xuron 410s (on the right) because only one side is actually sharpened, the other is just honed. I can say that I can feel a difference in how the Squadron pair cuts compared to the 410s, but assuming the Tamiya and GP nippers are also both double bladed, there probably isn't a drastic difference.

>>5306514
Given me zero issues since I bought in January.

>>5306529
GP01 body, Zeta legs and head, and either the Build Strike or X Maoh arms.

>>5306525
$10 isn't much at all for parts for a custom build. Assuming you're actually going to paint it and not just build it in an hour or two and then forget it.

>>5306537
Man those Squadron are fucking huge. I'm also using the 410's and I feel like they've dulled on me now. Thinking of getting the 2175ET or those Squadrons.

New thread: >>5306611

>>5306561
They're surprisingly comfortable though.
