>How do you accessorize your tiny robot girls?

By increasing their effective combat range one hundred-fold.

I actually would like to make a cute little miniskirt for my Valona, but I feel like the fluffy material I have doesn't seem suitable for a succubus like her.

Do people actually go chat on that Rizon channel?

>>5535067
Not bad fallbacks, but I was hoping for a catpaw the size of a standard shinki (or FAG) hand that I could cannibalize for a full custom.

The Revoltech Melynx might work, though I'm not sure the size of it and I'd rather not wait a few more months.

Going fully custom seems to be the only option there.

>>5535090

There are probably some prize figures about the right size, but I dont know any specific ones.

>>5535268
>>5535318
I might poke at some prize figs, but I'll probably try to fully fabricate them, fail, and then just stick with the normal hands. Thanks for the help, at least!

>>5535978
I dont know about Mao and Hau but Partio and Pomock do.

As someone should be getting his White Materia in the mail tomorrow.

About the knee joints, should I sand down the peg a bit (making the round peg not so round) for easier knee movement?
I am building Skylet right now, the left knee joint literally stuck. You are turning the blue peg when you moving the black knee part.
I don't want this to happen again.

>>5536242
I heard similar things about Gourai's elboww. I would say sand down the elbows and knees slightly on all FAGs. Don't want to make them floppy, but do give it a little extra clearance for the moving parts.

>>5536242
I have the white materia that i assembled gew days back - the joints were good not too stiff not too lose and i did a raw build. Hope this helps!

>>5535978
>>5536059
Perfect, thanks a lot! Hopefully I can find a damaged one so I don't feel bad about probably ruining it.

Do we know who's coming out after Jinrai? I'm hype as hell for Baselard.

>>5538291
They didn't specify at Wonfes

>>5538291
It just hit me that Baselard isn't using Materia's lower body as a base like Jinrai is.

I thought they'd be basing all of the newer ones off of Materia but I guess I was off the mark.

Will be interesting what the differences are.

>>5538510

As long as its got the improved thighs and fixed hip joint like Materia, it's all good.

>>5538517
It likely will, but I'd imagine the articulation would be even better on baselard thanks to the high cut.

>>5537885
Thanks, looks good! I was thinking of painting them, though, which is what I meant by ruined. I ended up finding a damaged Howling swimsuit on Mandy that I won't feel bad messing with.

>>5538654
Just a reminder, those are the ones that come with Pomock.

Is it possible to sew clothes for my FAGs without a sewing machine?

>>5534129
What kind of fabric is that?

>>5541067
Yes. It will take longer, but it's easier to hand sew at such a small scale. Just practice stitching until you are neat enough.

I'm not saying you're wrong since I don't have them in hand yet, but at the bare minimum, it looks pretty different from the pictures I've seen. Plus, Howling comes with heels instead of footpaws.

Not him, so I may be wrong, but it looks like this Picco Neemo dress. Now that you ask, I'm actually not sure what they're made out of. They feel cotton, but I can't say for certain. The boots are from one of the Assault Lilys, I think, but I'm not sure which one.

>>5541067
Sewing machines are kinda shite at this scale as you're working with part that are smaller than the machine's foot plenty often. Sewing by hand's the way to go, really.

>>5541385
Aparently got things mixed up at some point, i was only talking about Pomock and Partio, i dont have Mao or Howling.

>>5541398
No problem, it's actually very confusing.
Maochao and Howling standard versions come with neither hand nor feet paws
Maochao's swimsuit comes with footpaws, but no handpaws
Howling swimsuit comes with handpaws, but heels instead of footpaws.
And then Partio and Pomock standard version come with both hand and footpaws, but their prototype versions come with neither.

I went with Howling swimsuit because I can use her parts for a cat, dog, or bunny custom just as easily depending on my mood when she gets here.

I need pictures of Gabrine's back/butt with her armor bits on.

There was a period of my life where I refused to collect anything cute so the only Shinki I bought when it was out was Grappapp and a Strarf for her body. Then they all went extinct and I succumbed to kawai ugu and it was too late to get them for a reasonable price.

You can make anything cute by investing in doll clothes though, even Grappapp.

Thanks for this, I was considering grabbing a couple pairs. Being able to get them in different colors is nice, but the texture looks a bit too off for me, and sanding them down enough looks like it'd make them too small or ruin the detail. I think I'll stick with resin for now

>>5545759
If you use very fine grit sandpaper you should be fine.

>>5545775
Ah, thanks. Maybe I will try a set or two one day if I need some in a specific color, or if I get bored of deadly deadly resin.

>>5545789
Get it in non-colored polished WSF, then dye it how you want once you've sanded it.

>>5545789
One thing to note is that they are a rather tight fit (the colored ones, anyway) and the bottom indents for the nubs on Shinki heel-joints don't quite fit into them.

Anyone else get one of these sweet, sweet rivetless recast bodies? Just tossed my first of two together and I've gotta say it's worth every penny. I highly recommend them if he runs the mold again. I ordered two bodies, two extra sets of chest, two blank heads, and two painted heads, and I've only found one bubble. Thinking of going full retard with the other and making either that black cow girl (though I may wait until I can find a broken Graffias for her) or maybe Original the Character since I got a couple blank heads with it.

Shitty pic, sorry. When I get a real camera, I will take ten good pictures for every shitty picture I've posted here.

>>5547913
How does it feel compared to a regular mms body?

>>5548077
It feels pretty good. It's resin, so it feels much more like a doll body than a toy body. Way more matte than normal Shinkis. Texture wise, it feels like Picco Neemo bodies. I'm not sure if resin or plastic is more durable, but I'm not used to resin so I'm babying it for now. I'm especially nercous about that horseshoe shaped hip joint. It's a very faithful recreation, just with resin joints replacing the rivets, so articulation is just as good as a normal MMS3rd.

Only major complaint is the chest piece, which is rigid resin and I can already tell it will be the first thing to break. (which is why I got extras) Though on the other hand, I felt the chest of the MMS3rd was the weak point there. And megamelons makes everything worth it.

>>5548127
Did you have to glue the parts together or does the body still have screwholes?

>>5548142
The holes are there, but it works like a regular plastic model where it's just a resin peg through a little cap. Hopefully you'll be able to tell what I mean from this pic.

And it definitely needs glue. The fits aren't nearly as precise as a factory made toy. You could get it together without glue, but it'd fall apart after a few poses. Especially the joint caps, which would be super easy to lose.

The neck, upper arm sockets, and thigh sockets needed to be tightened up with nail polish, but the rest of the joints fit well. I needed to widen the hand holes a bit with an x-acto knife, too

Taobao. Here's the seller's store. I think he ships to America, but I went through a proxy because I'm retarded. He doesn't have any blanks up, but they sold out super fast, so I'm sure he'll run the mold again. I actually got lucky and snagged two that someone else canceled.

The site implies that by listing USPS as a shipping option, but I honestly have no idea. I think you have to sign up with Alipay still, and that's where I gave up. It's worth the middleman fees to save the headache.

Here's a question: If you were in charge of the revival of Busou Shinki, and got to pick an artist to do the character designs for a pair of new Shinki figures, who would you pick? What would the "theme" be?

For the artist, I'd pick Satoshi Urushihara, as quite frankly the guy's art is god-tier. Like the best parts of 80s and 90s anime rolled together. As for the theme, possibly a crustacean theme (so spiny lobster and king crab) or a construction theme (so cement mixer and bulldozer maybe?).

That'd be awesome. Yamashita is a fantastic artist. Sadamoto would be a good candidate too, though I don't know how good he is at mechanical design.

Another good option (don't know if he's done some already) would be Mika Akitaka. He's great at Mecha Musume and he's a well established mecha designer too. IIRC he did the designs for Galaxy Fraulein Yuna. Pic related was a drawing of Squid Girl as a MM he did.

>>5550576
A shinki modeled after Ika Musume with articulated tentacle-hair would be cool as hell. Make it so like Maryceles she has sockets in the tentacle hair for pegging weapons on.

>>5550583
Aye, it would. Mecha-Squiddy would be a thing of beauty.

So I'm considering getting some more Shinkis. I only have Espadia at the moment but I love her and I think I need more. Obviously Lancamento is a must as she's her wavemate, but what are some other good ones that can be had for fairly reasonable prices? I was considering getting the Fort Bragg set and the sports outfit body for her (as it's the cheapest "custom" body on Mandy ATM) but I'm not sure if the body would be compatible (I know mixing MMS 1st and 3rd bodies is a very bad idea). I would get Murmerltier (or whatever the panzer Shinki is called) but she's ridiculously pricey.

Also, how would I best go about making a cloak for Shinkis like pic related?

Lucky. I wish Koto did cons in my country.

>>5560522
Fucking Eggplanes are cute.

Is Zelnogrard any good? She looks to be more lightly equipped than some of the other figures but she still looks fun. I like the swappable cannons.

>>5560670
She comes with some futuristic shield bits, but that's not the important part.

She gets swappable expressions whereas the vanilla fort bragg only has one head.

>>5560758
Her arms and legs can be swapped into rather gigantic guns. I think potentially you can swap all her limbs into guns if you wanted to with the exception of her head.

>>5560913
OK, thanks. If I see her for a non-wallet-rape price on Mandy I'll get the Dusk variant. And thanks for the info on Zelnogrard! She looks pretty great- if I could I'd form a little squadron out of her, Fort Bragg and Murmeltier. Shinki artillery corps, man.

Question to the anon who bought blank shinki recasts from:
http://world.taobao.com/item/520101352067.htm


I bought 3 bodies and payed 150 yuan and got to the page in pic, but is that it or are there other fees I have to pay such as shipping?

>>5562438
Not that anon, however I did purchase a recast from that seller a year or so ago. Used a middleman though.

It looks like that price may simply be a deposit to reserve one?

>>5562094
Other kits. You basically have to learn how to deal with nubs and you can't do that without having some nubs to practice on.

If you're trying to be hardcore, get some really cheapass terrible WW2 fighter aircraft and try to turn them into something presentable. That requires all the tools of the trade - the knives, the files, the sandpaper, putties and seam filler, pla-plates, clamps and heath guns.

>>5562555
It's a shame the blank Shinkis are so fucking expensive or I'd get a few and buy some older Airfix Spitfires for cheap and convert a sort of "sister" for Asuka from the parts.

For that matter it's a shame Asuka is so bloody expensive.

>>5562094

Kits of mobile suits from the current gundam show are around 1000 yen each before shipping.

Grab a graze or something and practice on that.

Or get some old military plamo like the other anon said and learn the hard stuff.

Eh, those are just acrylic eyes. You can get them cheap from BJD shops. For a cyclops, they'd probably be the 12-14mm, but if you want normal eyeholes, 6-8mm would probably work. They even make anime-themed ones (usually referred to as animetic)-- I think GLIB is the company that makes a larger variety of the small ones. You can look up sites that sell Parabox or Obitsu to find some.

You can also DIY them. There are some people on Etsy that make teeny tiny urethane or glass ones. There's also an abundance of them on Taobao.

That being said, that custom is so fucking cute.

Thanks anyway anon. You're pretty cool.

Yeah, I can imagine, though I'd prefer to do something a little different from Asuka, and definitely different from the Strike Witches "propeller/fuselage legs" setup. Perhaps a fuselage and propeller mounted as a kind of hip pod via the thigh hardpoints rather than actually replacing the lower legs?

Fuck, a whole series of real-world plane inspired Shinkis would be cool. Perhaps a sort of "Siamese twin" Shinki inspired by the Blohm and Voss 141, with one big Shinki and one smaller one connected together?

>>5564810
You could chech for an EX Fort Bragg and a Benio/Xiphos, it's cheaper that way.

Just watched the first episode of the Busou Shinki anime. The battle scenes are definitely the best bits, that's for certain. Not to say it's awful, but it's pretty cliché. The constant squeals of "Masuta!" get on my nerves a bit too. I'm still gonna watch it all the way through though, and it's in no way dampened my love for the toyline.

The opening fight with Eukrante versus Strarf was awesome though, and made me even more excited for when Lavina arrives in the post. All hail Strarf.

Speaking of which, it occurred to me; once Lancamento and Strarf Lavina arrive I'll have 3 Shinkis, but I really ought to give them some names besides their "model names". I'm thinking Clara for Espadia and Lola for Lancamento, but I'm not sure what I'm gonna call Lavina. Something demonic like Baal or Orobas perhaps?

>>5566353
Oh god, now I'm worried. Poor Ines.

Anyway, here's a question/thought experiment for you guys. If you were directing a new Busou Shinki anime, how would you do it?

I had 2 ideas. The first was for a light and fluffy slapstick comedy centred around a Shinki collector/otaku and his constantly bickering collection of Shinkis, who (much to his eternal annoyance) are perpetually battling for his attention. Antics would include
>Grapprap trying to build something for Master, only for her work to be constantly demolished by Fort Bragg's artillery shells
>Bright Feather injecting some kind of hallucinogenic into anther Shinki's jelly can to embarrass them in front of Master
>Sharatang and Baby Razz engaging in a kind of musical battle which creates such a racket that Master locks them both in a display cabinet until they stop playing

My other idea...(continued next post)

The show made me buy Fubuki

(Continued from >>5566325)...was a post-apocalyptic epic saga entitled Busou Shinki: Armageddon. Humanity has all but destroyed itself through war, yet the world continues on, driven by the leftover AI that replaced most manual jobs. Shinkis live amongst the ruins of civilization, fighting for territory, resources, or simply revenge against those they for some reason perceive were responsible for the deaths of their masters. It'd be pretty grimdark but not "edgy" per se (I hate edgefaggotry) and would have comedic elements. In addition, most of the featured Shinkis would be modeled on custom builds/non-stock figures, thus keeping the "Buy these toys!" factor without being too much like a merchandise driven cartoon. In an ideal world it'd have music by Susumu Hirasawa.

I might even do these as photocomics when I have more Shinkis. Maybe.

You and me both. You normally can't buy that sort of loyality.

I have a confession to make; I am a bad mastah. I have had my latest Shinki for months and only today have I gotten around to unboxing and photographing her.

Got to say I'm a lot happier with her than I expected to be. I got her because she was a fraction of the price of Kohiru but I'm really happy with my choice now.

>>5566421
Me too. I have Harmony Grace, Orb Lunaria, Ziel Amethyst, Vervietta, Strarf Bis boxed up and haven't been able to open them cause I'm moving in a month or two and I need to pack my toys, not unbox them...

I want to let them out..

The english blurb in shinki boxes state that WW3 never happened, implying that all the technology developed before 2040 went into civilian applications instead, terrorism is still a thing though.

wait for the new line better quality since its Kotobukiya

Hmm your question gives me an idea. I wonder how well shinki themed game of Maid RPG would go over with the folks of this general. Obviously some, ok probably most, of the tables would need to be altered to better befit a shinki. Perhaps two forms of generating characters, either use a randomly generated full production shinki with some possible random variations in demeanor, or full on custom shinki down to weaponry and color.

Would prolly require a good bit of thought as to how faithful one would want the modification to be to actual shinkis, but the heavy free form nature of Maid seems to be perfect for it and of course the massive similarities between a maid and a shinki in the first place helps too.

It'd be interesting to play and I've already played mods of Maid RPG so picking up on it would be easy. If this ever got designed I'd happily play because I might be finished with D&D by then.

>>5566504
I'd be down for that...if I had any experience at all with Maid RPG. Still an awesome idea in any case.

>>5566511
ok old line with new articulation points aka rerelease line, happy?

Busou Shinki Battle Rondo was a thing.

>>5566834
I did not play that, only seen clips of the battles, so forgive me if there was more to it then what I am assuming there is.

Maid RPG is a very different thing, to start with its not even a video game like battle rondo, it's a tabletop like DnD. Second battling is not a major focus of it unlike (I assume) battle rondo, ever seen anime in which maids appear, particularly the ones that focus on the maids like say hayate combat butler? You play those maids in Maid RPG, heck the anime of busou shinki in general tends to match a lot of those same sort of things.
you are a maid trying to please her master, see the similarities?

>>5566860
Though Maid kinda starts out with the characters going on a shopping trip in the morning and ending up fighting off giant crabs and sentinent icebergs around teatime...

>>5566891
So in the shinki version you would probably fight a normal sized crab which still is giant to your 6 inch frame. Off top of my head the shinkis dealt with a random racing match, creepy ghost owned shinki, and a has to stop a 'bomb' from exploding a plane. Sounds like typical Maid sessions really.

>>5566454
Yeah, terrorism seems pretty incredibly common in the world of Busou Shinki for whatever reason.

They're not too different from other kits, and actually look pretty decent as straight builds. If you plan on doing a straight-build, just pick up some cheep random gunpla kit. Really practice and get in habit of cleaning sprues.

If you really want to put the extra love into it, I suggest picking up an exact-o/ hobby knife, some plastic-cement and some high-grit sand paper to hide and smooth out seams.

Don't paint unless your comfortable with your skill, you can always revisit things later.
