I'm not sage

Do you think bandai will do another run of MG jesta cannon to go with Unicorn TV?

>>5587916
It wouldn't surprise me if they did.

>>5587916
more important question is will it be Jesta Cannon RE:96 TV version? I would joke to add 2.0 or Londo Bell Use version to make it extra unnecessarily long.

I'm guessing this is a long shot but does anyone know about the quality of the Fujisaki Anime Masterpiece series? It's old so I'm guessing it's not great but I found some on mandarake for a decent price that look interesting.

Noob question, but are the decals that come with Real grades stickers or waterslides?

>>5588229
Stickers. They may look like waterslides but they're not.

>>5588233
Cool thanks. Was assuming they were waterslides and applying them accordingly with no problems. Just recently realised it doesn't actually specify anywhere.

Anyone knows y my matte topcoat became like this after a while ? The dust just wouldn't come off and i had to use alcohol to remove the coat entirely. Not sure what i did wrong.

>>5588265
>The dust just wouldn't come off
>Not sure what i did wrong
You let it get extremely dusty m8. You solved the riddle!

>>5588265
It's harder to clean caked dust off a matte surface because it's not smooth like bare plastic or gloss coat, you just gotta clean it more often

>>5588253
Nope. That's a thing I was doing. It works.

Here we are, the metal black grimgerde I said I would spray. (the lower leg should have been gold but I was too lazy and stopped at the black primer layer) Not to mention using the stickers for the sensor because I am a lazy hack.

Still need to spray over the parts the clip held onto as I thought it would be hidden.

IBO kits are inexpensive but the usage of a lot of plastic on plastic joints make them really stiff when posing. So that's something I don't really like about them.

>>5588420
From dalong's review, yes.

Shame about the obvious stickers though, put me off on putting them all on.

I've got a big box of really old, busted up Gundams that I've been trying to salvage with little luck. I'm actually considering grabbing one of the Frame Arms Girl Materia types and using the shattered remains of a mobile suit to make some sort of mecha musume shit.

I've got a Gouf with obliterated joints, a Kampfer with most of it's body crushed, and an assortment of green parts that appears to have been an SD version of something I can't identify. I thought it was a Big Zam at first, but it doesn't have any legs and there's these big pointy triangle parts on the shoulders.

What do you guys think I should go with?

There is no mention of them being P-Bandai.

Finally finished my RG Justice, I really wanted the flight pack up in flight mode but it's so back heavy that I've found it impossible for it to sit up in anything but a very front heavy pose.

No, sir! These mobile suits, smashed and ruined though they be, hold sentimental value. They represent a time in my life when things weren't quite so shitty and joyless.

That's why I've held onto them for so long, and why I'm considering going the mecha musume route. Can't bear to get rid of them.

Is she Chinese?

>>5589281
It's hundreds to thousands of years in the future. There's no telling what she is.

Her character design is themed after a fox though. And her makeup is similar to traditional Japanese Geisha.

>>5589283
Why would a general dress like a Geisha? It's like she asking for them to fuck her up.

>>5589285
She was basically a figurehead. She's never been in an actual fight before the series.

>>5589285
She's the daughter and sole heir of one of the top 7 noble families that run the military and the division she commands is intended to be purely decorative in order to get her put of the way.

The hg ritter manual mentions different features on the machine were made specifically to be aesthetically pleasing since the ritter was supposed to be used primarily for ceramonial purposes rather than actual combat.

The main reason she keeps going after the MCs is she wants to prove her division isn't worthless.

>>5589536
Since I'm new to all this, what does revival bring? Better overall build? or just a few changes? Right now I was just going to grab this gouf since he is only 6 dollars. Maybe I can get the new one when it comes out and use the old one for paint practice?

Hyakuri is a decent design, though it doesn't feel... Gundamy(?) enough to me. Like I could see it being from a different property. Guison is dope though, I forgot about that one.

>>5589514
Holy shit are you me? My story is the same as yours, I kept seeing these threads & eventually caved, ordering the exact same two kits! The only difference being my Z'gok was red (blue was sold out at the time & I was impatient). & I started watching 0079, too, so as not to be a fucking hack. Awesome. You're gonna enjoy yourself, it's a very fulfilling hobby!

I haven't, but I bookmarked it & a few other variations a while back. I'm a few months into the hobby but for the time being I've just been going through the main kits from 0079 & some SD's I like.

So question. Why are fire based weapons so rare to see in the Gundam Universe? I can imagine it having some really horrible effects on enemy suits.

Given the insanely high melting point of armor and the only benefit would be if you got lucky enough to over heat their systems, it's not worth the risk of range.

Fire is far too close of a range compared to beams and such. Hell even a javelin usually has longer range in Gundam.

Newbie here buying the zgok and others.
I have these little terran marines I got from the blizzard store for 10 dollars. Don't really care for them or have use for them, so figured I'd use them to practice panel detailing for the first time! Looks pretty shitty, but thats the point of practice and it being the first time and everything. Also I rushed a bit and the grooves on these are fucking tiny.

>>5589717
You should try brush pens. The ink gets in the grooves a lot easier. Also, you could do some sickass brush drawings/writing in your spare time.

I'm at around the same mark. Started making them back around the 98-99 mark cause a couple of hobby shops had them around and I liked mecha more than tanks. When I graduated High school in 04 I gave them all to my friend as I had no real space to put them anywhere.

Finally got back into it a couple of years ago, feels good man, its nice to knock out a project in like a week or so. I'm starting to get to the same amount I had before, probably either need to put some away as I've gotten my airbrush skills a bit better. Oh well.

Bandai Star Wars C3PO 1:12 Scale Model Kit

Yeah, I know but I'd just like to know so I don't make any mistakes.

>>5590382
>first panel
If the par number says B1-5, look for B1 and part number 5
>second panel
when snipping the part off the attachment point which connects to the runner, dont cut it clean on the model to allow a little breathing space for those parts to take the stress when you snip other parts
Then snip them clean off once the parts are fully free from the runners (this will help avoid white stress marks and warping)
>Third panel
Make sure to snip just the sprue attachment off flush with the part, be careful to identify which is the sprue attachment and which is the part.

The NYCC competition is part of the gunpla builders world cup. A link to the rules can be found on the bluefin distribution website.

>>5590465
Does that mean it's not open to anyone participating?

>>5590468
The nycc one is open to anyone who can show up with a kit at the event. Gbwc events in the US are in the regional stages until the last con sometime in the fall, then the winners of all the regionals are compared and one is picked to go to Japan and represent the US.

If some of my friends asked me to do something which was in fact a simple task, but they were afraid of doing it because they had no prior experience or knowledge, I would tell them how to do it to prevent a future case where they relied on me to do simple task for them.

This anon, however, just sprouts meaningless jargon and passive aggressive answers which are not clear enough to signal an actual change in the other persons behaviour, but instead, forces them to rely on you more since he provided literally less than nothing.

I'll give him credit where credit's due, the kits he picks out are usually pretty high-quality. That one in particular was an impulse buy on his part since we were at our LHS and it was like, $15.

I'm new to this general and I wanted to ask what I could use to paint these set of 1/16 guns that I ordered.
I wanted to know what were some decent spray cans that I could use for these.
They're made by kaiyodo and they're just JPN capsule stuff.
From pictures they just come in the standard gray plastic with no deco.

Painting my naussica gunship.

It's handpainting from this point forward.

>>5591319
Spray cans are overkill for those things. Just hand paint them, but make sure you thin them properly and apply multiple coats or use an airbrush.

Or you can ignore above and just use whatever spray cans from your local shops. Just make sure you're spraying from at least a foot away.

>>5591319
They are literally the walking dead.

>>5589141
It is a very siilar approach to the Barbatos 6th form, which give a lot of play value due to more accessories and the option of a form change that slightly reverts slightly back to the vanilla version but not exactly. Teh Graze Kai is missing the regular Graze boosters and the Barbatos 6th form is missing the 4th form elbows, katana, gun, and extra polycap to build the regular feet.

>>5591356

I have asked several times for suggestions re: hand-painting & always either gone ignored or basically told to "get an airbrush". 'Cause I'm obviously just gonna drop a big chunk of cash on something I don't have much use for nor any practice with.

>>5591500

buy an airbrush you poor excuse-filled cuck

>>5591500
>>5591486
There's not a lot to brushes honestly. As long as they're approved for acrylic (which 99% of the mare), you're fine. For handbrushing, though, Vallejo, Citadel or P3.

>>5591500
Simply because not a lot of people handbrush.
I have tried life color and it brushes pretty well, but the end texture is like a latex and doesn't sand well.

>>5591486
I'm going to be an asshole and say that the only way you can paint a tiny 1/16 gun and have it look good is if you use an airbrush.

Can will put out too much paint and it will cover whatever little surface detail your guns have.

Hand painting with properly thinned paint will require multiple coats to look good which again will cover the detail.

What you need is one thin even coat of primer followed by a thin even coat of paint and the only way to get that is with an airbrush.

Pic is very related.

It's a very simple kit, less parts in total than I've seen in individual hg gunpla limbs.

The detail is very solid.

So since I need a 1/100 scale building for my current project I will need to scratchbuild it. So to help with scaling it I picked up a HO scale building form model railroading to use as a reference since it is fairly close (HO is roughly ~1/87 scale).

I'm going to use it as painting practice for buildings too since I've never painted one before. Should be fun.

>>5591548
I want to paint small details on like one or two kits. Beyond seam-welding, panel lining & other simple modifications, I'm practically a snapfag. So it's not worth the investment for me, & that's without mentioning I live in a terrible climate for it in a house with no proper setting.

So, the upper right waterslide of Sally's "skull" rolled into a tube and stuck to itself as I tried applying it. Any way I can un-fuck this, or should I just strip all the stickers off and forgo the skull entirely?

>>5591208
Well, well. This will be my second RG purchase it seems. I wish it were chromed though. Nobody seems to want to do chromey gold Hyaku Shikis anymore, and it makes me sad.

>>5591728
It's a custom from a magazine.

>>5591208
Also, I dig the proportions here way more than the MG 2.0, so I'm pretty happy.

Somewhat related, I built my first RG recently and was frankly stunned by the level of quality, color separation, and attention to detail for the price point and scale. If not for the uncomfortably tight frame and my preference for 1/100, I would buy nothing but RGs from now on.

>>5591730
Oh. Well, shit. I got all excited over nothing.

Here's a slightly less shit picture with the wings and railguns extended

>>5591748
Honestly? As a custom it looks sorta meh. I feel like customs should be things where you have a base but completely change everything, as opposed to just slapping wings or missles on it.

The fine molds ones are much nicer. I've come to deeply respect fine molds as an amazing manufacturer of model kits.

>>5591751
I get that, but my goal was to take the build burning, and make it look more like the Impulse/Destiny (like with the longer front skirts). Not sure what else I should do for it though

>>5591757
Get pieces of the destiny and impulse. Thats just a bb with red weapon and dm booster parts
Maybe get the destiny wings, and impulse weapons + skirts

>>5591763
They are destiny wings, they came from the 1/144 NG. The head is from that as well

>>5591771
Oh, looked like the dm booster. But still i would add more to it to make it not look like the bb with a new head

>>5591775
Yeah, I'm taking the gauntlets from the destiny right now, not too many other parts that I can take from the NG. I have an old NG Blast Impulse lying around somewhere, I can take parts from that

So for a "how to build" video, what are your guys do and donts?
Planning on either doing a hi-mock or a serpent, talk about the basics of building. Either as a speed-up of me building or chop it into parts.

i couldn't help myself

Hey yo here is a chart I made to compare rail gauges to other scale ratios. 1/100 is real difficult to shop for, yeah.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Vznm8yx0eeVKujVOIKn15oZrM8MJmc8-9SMIxYUlKnE/edit?usp=sharing

I originally compiled this information in an attempt to find compatible terrain for 28mm miniature wargaming, only to discover that model railroad gauge scales is a nonsensical shitshow.

Why does this think look so much like a Graze? Or vice versa.

>>5591987
Same designer

Need some opinions on HMM Lighting Saix, and Gun Sniper Leena Special.

Lighting Saix seems suspiciously cheap for how large it seems to be.

>>5591996
I don't have the lightning saix but I believe it's similar sized to the command wolf which is comparable to an average master grade.

That's what I figured too, since they cost about the same. But unless this is some crazy trick photography, the Wolf seems significantly smaller than the Shield Liger, and the Saix seems of somewhat similar size to it (albeit not nearly as bulky).

my custom graze. I made it so the binders are fit on to the sides. I would be lying if I said that the KG-6 did not inspire the color and design.

I don't recall Ebikawa ever being credited with working on AZ.

>>5592099
Apparently I'm full of shit

>>5591748
Looks alright, but I'd do away with the rail guns or swap them with something else, and I'd change that shield out for a better one.

Otherwise looks alright. Maybe see about tossing the Try Build Burning parts instead. Never was a fan of the base Build Burning myself.

>>5590372
So you can convert this too regular graze(ground) and graze kai, or this kit just come with sword and boots for your old 1/100 graze ?

I asked this on /m/ but I also want to ask you guys
how I should I improve this, I like the basic of it but it feel like it can be more than that

also what waist I should I use

I got both wolf and saix and got some comparison photos for ya.

Please forgive the following poor quality iPad photos as well as missing parts, masking, horrible cluttered desk and so on in the middle of painting and fixing loose parts on the saix as well as heavy spring cleaning so tons of clutter on the desk from other parts of the room.

But enough of my rambling blog moment. As we can see with the limbs stretched out to a rather neutral stance to bring them to a full standing height, saix is a good bit taller then the wolf. Also of note is the boxes they come in. The wolfs box is nearly identical in size except for that wee little bit of extra height. bear in mind I don't know how big the other wolf kits are box wise, but I'm willing to bet they aren't this big due to him containing the weaponry of every wolf kit.

Now for a top down, as was likely to be assumed already, saix is good deal longer then the wolf. I do however want to express something that easily noticeable from these images. The limbs of the saix are lanky and factor a good bit more to its height then for the wolf. Combine with the fact the saix really doesn't look good posed to its full standing height, while the wolf works it better, you may often not see as big a height difference if any with most of the poses you may put the saix in.

Next post I will finish up with my thoughts regarding the price difference.

Now for the final post. Just took an angled pic of them necrosis to each other to get a better idea of overall bulk and size differences. I really don't think either one is bulkier then the other, although the wolf does give that impression due to being smaller in all the other dimensions. Maybe the proper word is he is stockier? Like the difference between a human and a dwarf, still roughly the same width just squished down.

Pricing, well at this point from how old the kits are, it depends on reissues. i think saix had a reissue recently which helps the price out a lot, but even without that reissue it was one of the latter releases of the line so it's price was always in the forties range even for Amazon, up until last fall. Then the price suddenly dropped again, so guessing that's when the reissue came about, if there was one.

The wolf I have is I believe one of the much later wolf releases and since it has all those extra weaponry from every wolf released, it's price logically is gonna be higher then you might expect. It all depends on the wolf you are comparing prices to the saix with, he comes with stuff that came with a total of three different wolf kits. He has the default gun turret, then Irvine's long range gun, and finally the AC specification of the double cannons, a leg mounted rocket launcher, Gatling gun, and finally leg boosters. So yeah, a lot of extra junk.

How do you chisel out those trapezoid insets, like on the shoulders and the feet? Or is it actually an extra layer of pre-cut plaplate?

Sorry, but yeah which is the better waist and how do i make this less "plain"

>>5592771
I like the one on the left more, actually. You make it less plain with paint, obviously. You could probably add a backpack of some sort to it but I think it's pretty cool how it is right now. Sometimes simple is best.
