get the PS2 colors version if you can find it, the pastel colors are a little funny but it makes it stand out.

the Anime Colors OYW looks better in pictures but up close you realize the colors are pretty off, the inner frame is a green-grey while the weapons and backpack are in that ugly lightgrey-purple that Bandai should never use again Also the yellow and red are more of an orange hue; altogether i dont see how its close to "Anime Colors" at all.

best colors are G-3 but everyone knows that already.

>>5542137
>ugly lightgrey-purple

That color mix is as they say, absolutely disgusting.

Covered all that on the revive mk ii with german grey.

Thanks. One more question, does the Origin version have two beam sabers? Because in all the pictures it looks like it only has one on its back.

You can pick whether to put two beam sabers or the over the shoulder cannon thing

>>5542213
yeah it does, i'm building it right now and it has the ability to have the two sabers on the backpack like normal

>>5542217

Look man I'm still waiting for the HGAW Leopard Gundam. I know the pain of waiting for kits. We got that that HGBF custom version, just give me the easy kit, Bandai! Damn you!

Anybody know where I can get high quality poster prints of the HG Thunderbolt box arts / Thunderbolt covers?

Did we get a list of March restocks?

Got the runner holder in the mail so I was eager to test it out, The sword Impulse has a crazy amount of Lettered runners though, up to T

>>5542735
how are you liking the holder so far?

>>5542735
Will heavily trigger my autism to the max using that thing with some of the hmm kits though. Quite a few runners coming in pairs or even quads, Using the same letter more then once but with numbers stuck on the end, yes the autism would be triggered.

>>5542604
Yeah. It's really small and sad.

>>5542925
The rails feel too shallow so it's easy to cause a domino effect because they aren't fasten good enough. and it certainly feels Chinese in the sense that there are 16 groves and 15 letters. That comes in handy with doubles but only once, might work the best with just the pieces needed for that section rather than all of the runners in the box at the same time.

>>5542244
Still no Abigorbine at all when they actually bothered making a custom machine out of it.

Annnd the back side. Only have the sandrock left. Probably will be on hold till I get some progress on the PG Zaku.

>>5543038
yeah with some runners they have a little piece of plastic that's thicker than the rest or a piece on the edges that sticks out like a leg. I usually just cut those and then the runner will fit just fine.

Does anyone know if the pic on the right a future release, or some mod kit for the pic on the right, or what? Because it looks fucking awesome.

Oh and sadly only the female one was made. The male one is ingame only...

>>5543583
Oh whoops I didn't realize you meant the male one. I need to read preceeding posts before I speak.

>>5543566
Do you think there's any chance of them making the male one?

>>5543588
Literal 0% chance.

>>5543628
Why?

>>5543647
Because caseals already have 6 kits when male casts have zero. Not even PSO1 who are popular.

>>5543647
all the kits are to advertise for pso2 with included codes, and literally every figure/kit is female due to popularity and the game being mostly female pcs due to muh cosmetics endgame

What's the difference between the MG MS-06F Zaku and MG MS-06J Zaku?

>>5544282

J is the ground type. F is the original

>>5544330
Are the proportions significantly different, or is it mainly just color and decals? I ask because I ordered one on zenmarket and I can't figure out which version it is.

>>5544335
They're literally the same kit with different legs and backpacks.

The J comes with the Missile Launchers for the legs whereas the F comes with some extra Bazooka parts.

>>5544340

The white on the body I find kind of fine, but maybe a very faint creamy colour might work.

>>5544700
Best articulated hg zaku to date.

Lots of stickers. Don't look good up close imo but the origin line is decal heavy.

Why can't Bandai print water decals for them. It will sell like Bandai water decals.

>>5544689
The Hasegawa kits are slightly more similar to military kits. When building mine I use masking tape to hold the pieces together while doing my test fitting. Glue is basically mandatory for the finished product.

So where do you actually work on resin kits? I assume in a painting booth but if I don't have one would I just have to go outside?

>>5545396
pretty much but still wear a mask

Posted this last thread but didnt get help

I went to go use my iwata neo airbrush, and when i pressed the trigger, alot of air was coming out, even after i let go off the trigger. Nothing was coming out untill i removed the front cap. I took it apart, cleaned it and it still does the same thing.
Is it broken or do i need to clean it out better?

>>5545521
The Neo is dual action right? Did you pull back on the trigger while pushing down?

>>5545531
Yea, i have the dual action gravity feed, for it you need to pull down and back for paints or liquids to come out

>>5545521
Lube the needle? Sounds like it's not moving smoothly. Possible some dry paint in the body.

>>5545552
Just getting the stupid question out of the way. Is the needle loose? Check to make sure it's fixed tight. If it's loose it won't pull back and let paint flow when you pull back on the trigger.

Other than that it may just be clogged which a deep clean should fix.

The needle did have dry paint, got it all out but i will try lubing it. But the problem i had was the front cap was on all the way and nothing would come out of it untill i unscrewd it by a tiny hair and when i let go of the trigger, air would be coming out for a good minute before stopping.
Ive had my brush sitting in a bowl of cleaning mix, gonna grab some pipecleaners after work and clean it out

>>5545625
>Iwata Neo
>Soaking in cleaner

I hope it's not especially harsh cleaner or you removed the O-rings first.

>>5545636
Its a water/alcohol/tea-tree oil mix that i use for cleaning/removing paint, not too harsh since i use the same mix to clean panel lines. But sorry if this sounds stupid, but what does the O-ring look like? Ive seen it mentioned alot

Anyone here own one of these guys? Thoughts?
I'm tempted.

>>5545647
It's a tiny rubber ring. Cheaper airbrushes often use them as sealers. More expensive airbrushes don't typically need them due to higher quality manufacturing.

The Neo, despite being technically an Iwata brush, is the Chinese factories own design and is Iwata's budget option airbrush, which gives you the benefit of Iwata's warranty and making parts easier to find if anything breaks.

>>5545686
Oh cool. It never had any rubber rings when i first got it. Im guessing that those would be by the tip inside?

Learned the hard way that as sanding the fuck outta points of contact prior to painting the inner frame is necessary to preserving it.

It's a loose wire, not connected to the frames.

>>5547444
Check the bags the runners came in.

So after adding in both the paint and thinner, I put in the retardent which is about... 2:1:10 of a ratio of paint, thinner, then retardent?

Question for airbrush owners: My brother's giving me his old Badger 150 that he hasn't used in forever. Looks okay but a bit on the grungy/grimy side on its surface. Any recommendations to clean it up? Will Simple Green or the like do?

>>5547525
Tool cleaner, airbrush cleaner, rubbing alcohol, thinners all work.
Be careful around rubber parts like orings and don't dissemble past what you can comfortably put back together then come bitch here about how we broke your airbrush

>>5547444
Is that it in the background

>>5547532
I'm sure I'll have to clean the internals too, but this will work with cleaning the gunky residue on the outside of the brush as well? On a side note, are all airbrush jar attachments universal?

>>5547444
>>5547447

>>5547574
No they are not universal. Google your brush and see what sizes it uses. And yeah just weat a paper towel with some thinner like alcohal or cleaner like simple green and give the outside a good wipe down. It's badger so it should be stainless steel.

Vanishing Gundam still needs its weapons

>>5547482
Do I just use paint and retardent without any thinner if I'm handpainting? Because I'm seeing some people that say that's the way to go.

>>5547812
You're gonna want to still use thinner, even when handpainting. With handpainting, you want multiple thin coats to mask brush strokes, and thick paint doesn't do that.

>>5547622
Huh that looks better.

Dunno if this is the right thread to ask but. Recently obtained a Kotobukiya medabots kit. One of the sheets was slightly melted and major component was rendered unusable. I emailed Kotobukiya support since I cant read moonrunes. Anyone else have any advice in terms of getting contact. If worse comes to worse I can 3D print or cast the good part but its pretty frustrating.

>>5547952

HLJ can order individual runners of some model kits for you, not sure if Koto is one of the companies they do it for.

Airbrush problem anon here

So i put everything together, it gave me the same problem, but then i realised that i didnt tighten up the part the goes in the brush.
It sprays good now, though i am running into a problem with the needle/paint. The paint wont come out unless i mess around with the needle, idk what can cause this other than dried paint on the inside, and i know it cant be that since i just cleaned it and the tip, i tried lubing it too

That sound coupled with finishing the model may just be one of the most satisfying things ever.

the reason its not working is because youre using cement

You need something to bind the metal to the plastic. People usually use superglue but epoxy resin works better. THEN you cement the outer plastic bits together

How hard is it to get replacement parts for PG kits? Thinking of grabbing this incomplete PG Strike Freedom, but it's missing the weapons (which I don't mind, the display will be more focused on the dragoons anyway) and the head (and maybe some other parts on the upper chest).

Figured that even if I can at least get the head restored, it'll be a good display piece for cheap. If not, I'm not out much money.

ITS TOTALLY NOT A GUNDAM
no really, that's the issue, when the SRW divine wars was airing, the Huckebeins got completely erased from existence due to the above, as they regarded the hucky was too gundamlike to appear in any other show that wasn't gundam

keep in mind by that time, kotobukiya had released all the huckebein kits: the original (and first SRW plamo), the Mk II, the Mk III, the Boxer monster and the trombe recolors. Well, they even forced kotobukiya to erase from their records that they ever made those models

>>5548948
Well that explains why the HGs are going for hundreds of dollars. And I thought it was just nips being scalpers.

>>5548959
yeah, they are pretty much rare kits, since they will never be reprinted, EVER
in mandarake they go from 3,500 to 6,000, all the 3 huckies, being the Mk III and the original the most expensive ones
the Boxer is 15,000 yen

>>5548962
How often do they show up on madarake?

>>5548964
supposedly, they update the site on a daily basis, but to know when new hucky kits arrive? can't say, just keep looking for ヒュッケバ in the browser, its huckebein in moon runes

that seems to be a kit, but it is not kotobukiya's
by its price, I guess it could be somehting similar to a fucking no grade, in other words, complete trash
better check dalong in its kotobukiya section, there you can see the Huckies and all the other SRW plamos and see their boxes to recognize them when they appear in mandarake or any other store

I'm unlearned in gunpla and this is only the second frame I see (first one was Gundam Exia). Since I need a robot-like frame for a project, is there a way to know which kits comes with an inner frame and which don't?

>>5550048

>>5550048

MGs, RGs, IBO kits (HG 1/44 and "No Grade" 1/100) and PGs all have inner frames

>>5550056
>>5550060
Thank you guys

>>5550060
That's kind of a misnomer since a lot of the older mg's and The IBO 1/144 kits don't always have a complete inner frame though. I'm pretty sure the ZZ gundam doesn't even have one.

For the most part those are the outliers

>>5550048
What are you trying to do?

The Zaku 2.0 MGs are very good do in part to their frame and tend to be cheap.

>>5550060
>IBO kits (HG 1/44)
Only the Graze variants, Grimgerde, and all but one of the Gundams have inner frames (the original Gusion lacks an inner frame). The rest of the HGs lack inner frames.

So something just occurred to me, I was initially pissed that the only way to get the 1/100 mace for the barbatos is through the 6th form kit. But the more that I think about the more I realized I could just use the parts to display the frame by itself and just swap parts if I wanted the final form with my original kit and have some spare parts.

Am I falling for bandai's ruse cruise hard at this point, or is this actually a good thing. I'm a little conflicted right now.

I want to kitbash and mod a 1/44 Zeong into a slimmer more standard unit. Smaller proportions on the waste and with legs. I want it to look like the parts aren't recycled but it should go good with a standard Zaku machine gun. Does anybody have any idea what mobile suits might be useful. I was thinking of using maybe the chest from a Gouf prototype and the arm and some parts from the Zudah because there is nothing really similar to the Zudah. Plus the Zudah is just begging for begging for some shoulder armor.

>>5550482
Well a "slimer" version would be the zeong zaku.

>>5550489
Basically! But I want to make slimmer Zeong that doesn't just look like a Zaku with a Zeong head (which would look great imo but I want it to look better). The Zeong is often referred to as the "creepiest" mobile suit so I basically want to take that quality and make it into a slimmer grunt design. Imagine it has two Gouf heat rods! I think the Gouf is a good midway point I think in terms of bulkiness.

First fitting of the parts after painting. Needs gloss coat, minor detailing, panel wash, etc.

Not very happy with how it turned out, it's a very mediocre paintjob. At least the final colours turned out okay, although I wish I had gone with my initial plans to paint it blue.

Question. Im looking for some old ass kits that shouldn't be this hard to find. Namely the wing 1/144 kits. Deathscythe Hell, Heavyarms, Altron, Sandrock, Epyon, and Mercurius. I can find them on ebay, but theyre like $15 to $20 each before shipping. Hlj and hobbysearch have been out forever. Any ideas?

>>5550699
1/144?
If you're outside EU it might not be worth it, but I found a site called "nanolandia.it", it has some old kits, Shenlong and Deathscythe is 6 euro each, and shipping doesn't seem too bad, but the others might be a bit more, pricing is a bit weird, and I don't know how good the site is.

That base specifically is from Warmachine/Hordes.
It's a Gargantuan base.
Not many things in Warhammer are that big without completely forgoing a base entirely.

An alternative to searching for a spare base, wood plaques or signs should make good bases that even look pretty fancy if done right.

Like I asked about, I like pinewood bases from craft stores. They're like $1 and you just need to sand and paint/stain them yourself.

>>5552166
Fuck off already, retard.

>>5552122
>>5552107
I feel like I'm losing brain cells reading this shit.

>>5552173
I didn't make that post

>>5552165
safety first, anon :^)

>>5552169
I already said it. Whats wrong with an anon not being able to identify a frame of the kit

Woah CrashmanX you're so up to date on gundam news and know everything wow so amazing all these people who know nothing are mere plebeians

>>5552173
I'm not the guy who lashed out against richigo posting his resin build

>>5552184
>I already said it. Whats wrong with an anon not being able to identify a frame of the kit
Good job completely ignoring his post

>>5552184
>Woah CrashmanX you're so up to date on gundam news and know everything wow so amazing all these people who know nothing are mere plebeians
Where the fuck did he imply any of that?

>>5552190
>>5552193
Not that I'm unbiased but I agree with him

there's too much fighting going on, I'll just post more stuff

Sure. If that's what you got from what I said then yea. Ya filthy plebeian.

>>5552199
You're saying that because I agree with him he's wrong? That I shouldn't agree with him at all because that has no baring on him being right? Did my post aggravate you that much?

>>5552199
>bunch of people gang up on whoever
>someone defends him
>suddenly ad populum

I'm rolling

>>5552033
I'm not sure about the arm pieces. I'll have to wait and see what reviews say.

>>5552199
I don't think that applies, but then again I'm not sure what people are even arguing about anymore. I think this argument has transcended disagreement.

>>5552207
I'm not saying he's wrong, I'm saying that your post was completely unnecessary and provided nothing but noise

>>5552217
So "very."

>>5552190
>newfag being new
>call him out on his newfaggotry
What does this accomplish? Nothing but elitism. Anon can be interested to modelling and be in this thread out of interest, it isn't an impossible concept to wrap your head around either.

Tell me what his post is all about then.

>>5552193
Tone of speech, along with the very pretentious way >>5552122 was worded

>>5552205
Come up with a better defence

That wasn't a defense. I'm not defending anything. You're just a filthy plebeian, I'm sorry.

Enough with this stupidity though, back to the Gunpla. Revive Alex when?

I don't think so bud

>>5552227
>too many words

Here's your reply.

>>5552209
What's the articulation like on those MG zakus?

>>5552244
Thanks, here's your (You) in return.

Christ, I'd get not knowing a Gundam if this was /m/'s /gpg/, but this is /toy/. There's a fair chance that anon just saw the picture on the front page/with an extension while mousing over threads checking the latest posts, thought it looked neat, and then wanted to know what it is so they could get one. And it's not even that famous of a Gundam - it's just one of many in a decades-long franchise that comes from a show that's not even very popular amongst its target demographics.

It's inner frame and fuckoff mace are sexy, though, and I hope that the 1/100 6th Form doesn't get rid of the original feet on the inner frame.

>>5552227
Dude he answered your question, is him being mildly pretentious about it really worth this derail?

fairly excellent I think, much better than the 1.0

char's zaku from the gundam the origin line is the roughly the same range of motion in the mid section, but the leg motion is where the 2.0 excels

Anyone has the exploitable from /v/ where this guy falls into a crowd of people having a discussion, says something and everyone spergs out?

It would be perfect for this moment

>>5552255
6th form comes with OG feet and pretty much everything but the arms in terms of the body, I believe

If I want some G Gundam shit would I be better off getting an MG God Gundam or a Robot Spirits Shining Gundam?

So, is there a site or app that's like MyFigureCollection for gunpla?

>>5552270
The G Gundam MGs are old as balls, and the Robot Damashii are super articulated but not models. Take your pick.

>>5552270
>>5552276
Alternatively, the HG's are fairly new and nice.

>>5552272
Dalong is as best as it gets.

>>5552284
>Alternatively, the HG's are fairly new and nice

I got the HGUC Shining and it's kinda flimsy

>>5552284
No no, I mean a site where you can make a checklist of your collection.

>>5552289
It's only flimsy if you let it be! Also maybe God is just nice in general then.

>>5552294
Haven't heard anything like that, but it'd make a neat and very terrifying thing to see.

>>5552294
Pretty sure MFC has pretty much any gundam kit on there.

>>5552297
Looks like MFC actually has a few kits at very least.

>>5552256
I'm not the guy who asked the question.

I just think its fucking stupid to call out the anon for being uneducated for being new. This place isn't a hugbox for shit modellers to post shit build and expect everyone to cuddle them, but this was a legit and innocent question.

I would have called out against an anon even if it wasn't a tripfag who made the post, but in this case he made himself easily identifiable, so here we are.
