Totally forgot Architect was coming this month and I'm still not sure what to do with her. Thinking of mixing her with Duraga to make some kind of knight or maybe mixing her with Kagutsuchi Otsu (Or Tieren Ground if I want to deal with Gundam swapping) to make an armored sniper.

Or perhaps I should go silly with it and mix her with a Lapierre. Any suggestions? What's everyone else doing with theirs?

I mean, I'm still angry, but at least it's just in principle.

>lapierre
it's "rapier", just for reference. all those flying FAs are named for implements of stabbity death.
rapier, stylet(stilleto), khanjar...
baselard and it's offspring are slashy as well as stabby, so you have baselard, cutlass, zulfiqar (that being the baselard+extend arms version. I had to look it up to know wtf it was.)

>>5588083
I thought it was supposed to be a portmanteau of lapine and rapier

>>5587962
>and I'm still not sure what to do with her
Do what I do. Stick the box on a shelf and never build the kit. [I'm sorry Gourai!]

Sword and board.

I'm going to give her Stylet's blades, the two knives, and mount shields from some busted up old Gundams on her left forearm and shoulder. Don't really know which ones to use, though. Probably cobble together some sort of booster pack for her back.

I also have a shit-ton of loose beam sabers, so I was thinking about making some sort of holster or bandolier for them.

Very nice.

Do you have a pattern and list of materials you used?

>>5588359
>>5588394

Thank you! The white fabric is just a fine jersey. You can't see in the photos, but the hood is also lined in the same pink fabric as the inner ear, which is a very thin cotton. I just starched the shit out of the fabric before sewing which makes things a little easier.

As for a pattern, I would be happy to post if I had one! I just kinda put it together on a trial and error basis. However, I can draft together an improved pattern if people are interested.

>>5588489
Please do if it isn't too much trouble. No need to rush either.

Quick question. I'm colorblind, so are the FAG skin colors all the same, or are they just different enough that it would look odd if you, say, used a Materia's upper arms on a Gourai's body?

What paint did you use on the silver parts of Materia? I mixed some gunmetal pearl pigments and gloss medium I had lying around and the results weren't as good as I'd hoped. I used acrylics on the white and black (still no teal accents yet) and it turned out fine.
I like this picture, btw. I can imagine her saying, "Nuh-uh-uh, senpai, you must give me what I want."

Why don't you make your Shinki some damn pants before you start making shit for others?

Do Gabrine and Renge ever appear for less than 10,000 Yen? I kinda want them (albeit I'll be making some clothes for them as I don't like how...exposed they are) but I've only ever seen them once and that was for a lot of money.

I've used chrome silver acrylic from Tamiya.

>>5590248
Pants are optional, anon. Does your shinki have pants?

>>5590356
Good to know. I am thinking of trying some leafing (glue+sheets), but unsure about how well it would do on something that scale. I'll test that on some of the leftover parts still on the runners.

need some help guys. I am recasting mms 1 chest pieces, and while the chest itself is coming out great, I am stumped on what to do about those tiny hooks that latch the chest onto the body. they are just too tiny to not be copletely ruined by tiny bubbles that form because of the curve not letting them float out.

So anyone who has recasted or made custom chest pieces for mms 1 shinkis, what do you do about the hooks? Or is there some other way you can attach the chest snug?

>>5590790
Ignore the hook nub things and use a bit of blutack to afix the tits. That's what I've done with my old Arnval and Valona who's hook things went missing. Non invasive, reversible fix that I forget is even needed most of the time.

>>5590812
That's a shockingly simple solution I am shocked I didn't think of yet. Thanks mate

>>5590812
I should look into that. my vitulus' bigger rack has suffered a case of "hooks not glued in place properly" and I'd been trying to figure out the best choice of way to reattach the hooks, but if some blutack will keep her tits where they belong...

>>5590577
There are chrome films from Hasegawa that you might want to look into. Likely a lot easier than gluing on sheets yourself.

http://www.internetmodeler.com/scalemodels/nrtools/Hasegawa-Trytool-Finish-Films.php

>>5590790
You could just pull the hooks off and cast those separately, they're just glued on.

Alternatively just make your own using plastic plating.

>>5591096
>>5590812
now another question. How in the hell do i cast the heads properly? i guess i should just make two peices then glue together
but what about the joint? how am i gonna cast that without risking ruining the otiginal head

>>5591177
You're going to have to make a 3 part mold for the heads.

You can pull the joint out without any damage with a revoltech plier and some hot water.

>>5591181
thanks again, was hoping it would not entail of removal as the last time i used hot water i accidently warped an at st, but whateverr works best

>>5591255
If you warp something, you can warp it back. With hot water.

Also don't use fucking BOILING water, just hot.

https://world.taobao.com/item/520101352067.htm?fromSite=main

First time using taobao and I tried buying a couple of these via taobao focus. But they cancelled all my items with the message:

> cancelled Item is cancelled because the seller is never online or shop is probably closed.

I'm sure people here have bought from this guy before. Anyone know what's going on?

>>5591619
Don't use taobao focus, just order them yourself and try talking to the guy over alichat or whatever.

You don't need a middleman for taobao anymore.

You can find a guide here:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWR_zQYfkSepEUzB9qS9yc7_YmCbka243

Use google translate or their in-site translation tool (which is also google translate). It works fine.

Chatting, google translate works well between Chinese and English, I was able to communicate directly to the seller and hold a conversation about how much we like shinkis via the in-site chat program and google translate.

If you live in the US, you might not even need to try and get in contact with the seller and just use consolidated taobao shipping or whatever.

>>5591619
I had taobaoring cancel my order too. By the way, that listing is simply the pre-order price. I do have a tall blank body on pre-order with this seller, however, I had to pay full price upfront. Taobaoring didn't take issue with that and they didn't have a problem contacting the seller either. That was literally a week before as well.

>>5591690
>>5591692

Thanks guys. I ordered some other stuff too which has gone though, but I'll get the rest of my money back and try ordering directly.

Got Howling in the post today. Whilst her articulation in armoured form leaves something to be desired, and her paint is a tad sloppy in places, overall I really like her. And for £12 including postage I can hardly complain.

My biggest complaint with her is that the stand, whilst a necessity due to her top-heaviness, is only good for flying poses. I've assembled it such that she can just about get her little paws on the ground, but she has to lean forward a smidgen.

>>5591690
I got frustrated and gave up when it came to alipay. I figured middleman fees were better than the frustration.

>>5591619
If you still want a middleman, I use Celestial Delinquent, and she had no trouble with that seller last time he ran the mold.

>>5592045
Guessing she is your only shinki? Now take what I'm about to suggest with a grain of salt as I only have a light armor stand, not a full size one,but you might be able to jury rig up so extra bits that attach to the stand arm using a combination of the extra connection bits she should come with, as well as the sprue/runner they come on. The spruces are the same width as the pegs for shinki gear. If you have anything like Lego technic stuff, you could potentially modify some elbow tube joints into accepting the pegs and thus be able to add links and bends that allow you to get her lower to the ground. Of course it might be easier to make a whole new armature that is a lot shorter, but I don't know how heavy howling is and make break simple attempts.

again, no experience with that kind of stand, just throwing out the first ideas that came to my mind.

>>5592074
Nah, I have Espadia as well. Thanks for the advice anyway.

>>5591692

>>5592081
240 CNY for mms3 tall body. No head. I don't even think the listing was specifically for that. It just seemed my middleman worked something out with the seller. They offered a head for a little more and some free decals too.

Do you guys know a good place to get waterslide decals? Specifically waterslide decals of cherry blossoms? I need it for a thing I'm doing that looks good in my head but will probably look like shit in person.

>>5589607

Thanks, though it turns out it was a pointless question since I didn't realize the nude resin bodies weren't the same color as the plastic until seeing them next to each other.

>>5593804
Thanks!

but really,, why arn't they showing up when i search "Picco neemo"? is there a bunch of other stuff ive been missing over the months?

>>5593821
Amiami has a brand category for all of AZONE's stuff, but you need to filter the 1/3, 1/6, and 1/12 stuff.

In other news I customized my Lirbiete with the spare balljoints and small pigtails from a Custom Lily. Pics later once the protective coat on her chestplate dries out properly.

>>5593821

Because AmiAmi, like the entire nation of Japan, can't into web design.

Do a search for picco neemo, pick one of the cloths which shows up, then browse the category it's in. That's what I do. It's always all sold out anyway.

Does anyone know any good books on sewing/making doll clothes? I'd love to make some clothes for muh Shinkis but I have almost no experience in sewing, though that is something I'd like to change. I know that 1/12 clothes do exist but I like making my own stuff.

>>5593894
The sewing is reasonably easy, it's fitting the patterns that's the real work.

I think Lirbiete likes her new twintails a lot.

Honestly the climate around here did a number to her chestplate, the paint got kinda damaged by the heat and humidity so I had to coat it with a layer of clear nail polish. Also she's my oldest shinki, maybe not the hottest or the most adorable but she's still a good shinki.

Zielbellen's custom body is a 2.0 pico neemo 'blank' made from a generic custom lily, I got her a set of military clothes. Got her other head on her normal shinki body so she's now "twins" with herself, hahaha.

>>5595045
This statement is bullshit. Regular cotton thread is fine. A small needle is preferable, but you certainly do not need specialised needles and thread to be sewing at this scale. However, your actual stitches will need to be scaled down a bit.

>>5593804
Most importantly, find relatively thin fabric with a high thread count. Fine knit fabrics are also ideal and don't frey as easily. There isn't a particular type of fabric you should be using. If you have a fabric store nearby, you should be able to find something suitable by seeing the different fabric types in person.

>>5593894
I don't know of any books that focus on 1/12 scale off the top of my head. They probably do exist, but looking at tutorials for regular size clothing will be a good start. You can apply a lot of the same techniques at a smaller scale too.

>>5596822
Hello new friend. Quite a few have named theirs, but others still prefer the model names or derivations thereof.

>>5596822
I started naming mine because it felt weird calling bright feather, bright feather all the time. If she looked Native American I may have been fine, but as it was it felt more like a model name then a character name, so she is now Brigitte.

>>5596822
You can, if you're creative or remember them all. I have 20 Shinkies and only 5 of them are named (My Good Girl, Tempesta, Xiphos, Lemuria, and Lavina). Everyone else I call by part of their name but that means I have a Meri(enda) and a Mari(celes). I have an Air Dominance I wanna name but I have no ideas.

>>5596822
Some do, most just call them by a shortened form of their model name. I call my Valona Val sometimes, but by her full name other times. It's all personal preference and how waifu you wanna get.

Finally put my Gourai's weapon kit together. Anyone know what this piece is for? It's some weird T connector that I don't even remember Gourai having anyway, and it isn't pictured anywhere in the instructions or the box.

>>5596822
In the lore, you name them the first time you turn them on. Most of us name ours as a kinda nod to that.

...and I have 24 Shinkis and I can (somehow) remember the names of all but two of them, who I haven't named yet.

I am more ready for this than anything in my entire life.

>>5603700

Yeah, she's looking better and better. I dig the blank legs, tights, high heels and the cute little bunny tail.

>>5603706
I love how they went full shinki mode on her, almost like a dry run for later. There is quite literally not a single thing I dislike about her right now. They went with the better butt, she has unarmored legs, I love her theme, and she just looks nice. My only concern is that I'll end up buying way too many of her for limb swaps and customs I'll never get around to.

My only concern is how they'll do the legs. Will the armored and unarmored legs go up to that mid-thigh seam? Or it almost looks like the knee joint is different here. Maybe that detaches? I hope it's not an either/or thing.

>>5603662
>>5603663
preorders when, I need several of these

>>5603753
From what I see, the armored leg parts come from gourai/stylet plus the new baselard parts, while the unarmored legs come from materia with new high heel feet.

Kotobukiya is generous enough to give you this much extra parts from previous releases.

>>5603831
The butt is cut much higher up the hip than Materia is, so that's different. Will also prevent that frumpy ass that materia seems to have if you don't pose her properly.

There are a lot of online fabric stores that will send you free sample packs. A few years back, I managed to get about 20 free packages from random online stores. Some swatches were too small to work with, others were of suitable size. But hey, it's free. Give it a try.

Mostly I'm unsure of how these screws are supposed to go in. This is the page that seems to picture it. Am I just supposed to put the screws into the plastic? Or do I use some kind of glue.

>>5609354
The lowest row appears to show how to create a seamless screwhole-free seal.

The measurements for the screws and surfaces seem to be talking about tolerances for fastening stuff.

>>5609358
Thanks. anything helps.

Also here's the entire instruction manual if anyone can made heads or tails of it

http://imgur.com/a/n5l3o

>>5609354
There are a bunch of silicone tubes that came with the kit, 3mm with 1mm hole, 3mm with 2mm hole, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm.

Most of the screws go with some silicone tubing in the joint to maintain friction.

Learn hiragana and katakana. They're handy in situations like this, especially the latter, and you can probably do it in an evening.

>>5609480
Okay that helps a little, but does the screw just drill into the other side? or is it glued?

>>5609484
The kit uses no glue, I have the same one.

Everything is affixed by screws. You just need a pinvise woth the corresponding width and you're fine. Every place that needs you to screw will have some mm measurements there and the word ネジ
For screw and シリコンチュブ for the silicone.

Just follow what it shows in the page with a slightly smaller hole than the width of the screw and you should be fine.

>>5609518
Oh and the mms for the screw usually means how deep you need to drill. It's something you need to keep in mind.

>>5609523
Alright thanks. And for the plastic tubing do I just cut a section off of the corresponding size that it requires?

>>5609529
Yup. But they're going to be in teeny slices of like 1 mm sometimes, so make sure you have a sharp knife.

Got Strarf Lavina and Lancamento in the post yesterday.

Lavina is a mixed bag. On the one hand she looks absolutely awesome- she's like a 6" tall demonic robot overlord. Her accessories kick arse and I love her colour scheme. On the other hand, there's things I don't like about the MMS 3rd body- the replacement of the balljoint at the base of the neck with a hinge is kinda lame, and getting the "vests" swapped is a fucking nightmare. Also she comes with a fucktonne of parts, and getting her armoured up is terrifying, mainly due to all those tight pegs (the thigh pegs are frighteningly tight). Also there's some paint blemishes here and there, which kinda sucks. I love her but I won't be fiddling with her much.

Lancamento is loads of fun. Some paint errors (which seems to be a recurring problem with Shinkis- my Espadia's paint is beginning to chip in places) but overall the QC is pretty good. The beetle mode for the armour is a lot better than Espadia's, and her faces are adorable. Heracles is a little awkward (the heels seem somewhat unnecessary) but looks awesome overall. The only design element I dislike about her is the "armoured" chest piece, which seems a bit ludicrous to me.

Still, overall very solid purchases. I'm calling the Lancamento Clara but I'm not sure about the Strarf Lavina. I'm considering Algol (as I'd originally planned to name all my "evil" looking Shinkis after stars) but it sounds a bit...manly?

>>5610340
the thigh armor connectors on the strarf Mk2 mold are pretty absurd, yeah. I wound up trying to carve out the socket a bit. for expensive game-package exclusive molds you'd think konami would have had someone at the factory pay attention to tolerances, but it seems not.

Got ya covered, senpai. Some Anon translated them a few years ago.

FL017/L Strarf MK.2 Lavina is FRONT LINE's latest addition to the bestselling Strarf series and a variation of the FL017 Strarf MK.2 rolled out in 2041.
In order to enhance its close-range capabilities, a sensor suite in guise of a muffler, a close-range use hand cannon, and other equipment have been added.
Since the Normal variant received an update in 2042, the Lavina type was planned to receive a similar update.
The existing handcannon, sensor suite, auxilliary booster, pilebunker, and other parts were added to enhance its close-range combat abilities.
In addition to this, a head visor was introduced to allow better control of the added parts and shorter reaction times giving the shinki better mobility characteristics despite the increased equipment load.
In addition to this, the armor parts can be combined to assemble an assault fighter using the gatling shield as a core which covers middle to long range combat where the shinki would otherwise be at a loss.
The default AI setting is slightly more honest than the normal model and easier to handle but in combat, has a tendency to stubbornly stick to the offense, giving a glimpse of a more combative personality.

>>5612215
Oorbellen is a stubborn airhead, Zielbellen is harsh but will blush at a moments notice. That's what the translated bios say but there is no info about the recolors.

>>5612178
I was interested in the Titan girl but no one had her that could comment on quality. Also hear they're a bit shorter than shinkis.

>>5612178
>How come no one ever brings up the Mobile Suit Girls in this thread?

If their designs werent so uninspired and amateurish i'd probably get one regarless of the quality issues.

>>5612178
Speaking as someone who owns both a shinki and a Bandai AGP figure, the AGP tech figures have some joints with poor seating tolerance - the mid-torso joint under the ribcage is so loose the figure pops in half regularly, and the hip assembly has inferior articulation and a lower-quality feel. Hell, even Figma and SHF figures have inferior hip joints to shinki.

How are they?
Lirbiete is 7000 yen and Vervietta is 9000 yen.

>>5612545
Well they both kind of look like they have the Downs but Lirbiete a cuter.

This, give her some Myspace angles when taking pictures and she'll almost look like a functional shinki.

>>5612551
>>5612547
Kek I thought something was off about them, couldn't quite tell what.
Is Lirbiete worth it at £45? Really torn between her and the Yahoo limited edition Unit 01 for £50

>>5612560
It's worth it. Join us.

standard approach is give it a clear matte coat then brush on some darker blush to give it contrast and recoat when you like it so it stays

>>5612178
Similar, sure. My shinkis/FAGs like to steal my Unicorn's stuff. I haven't had any problem with my AGP Unicorn, but I guess I got a good one? She can stand on her own, but getting a Tamashii Stage helps a lot. She doesn't have the poseability of Shinkis due to the bulk of her forearm armor and restricted hip joints. She's also almost a head shorter than Shinkis/FAGs.

>>5612470
Aw shit, love the metallic pink.

>>5612470
>White Materia
Patrician taste

I finally have my materia to build, does she need super glue to stay together or does she snap pretty snuggly?

>>5612120
Huh, that's funny. I expected her to be the exact opposite- a Strarf, but instead of being stoic and silent, being the Shinki equivalent of Galvatron (so a total psychopath who wants to take over the house and kill her "master"). I can just imagine some of her lines.

>"I take orders from NO ONE!"
>"I have only one master...DEATH!"
>"Cross me...and DIE!"

But then I rarely pay much attention to Shinki's "official" bios and just make up personalities for them (occasionally inspired by the canonical bios). Heck, for some reason my autism compelled me to write a whole "backstory" for my collection, including for Shinkis I don't even own yet. Once it's finished I might post it here.

>>5612917
She snaps together pretty snugly with the exception of the waist balljoint which pops out quite easily.

Just glue that a millimeter or two up on the peg and it'll stay on just fine.

Seconding this mod if anyone missed is a while back. Works like a charm.

I like her. She's roughly the size of a figma and has about the same articulation range as a non 2.0 figma.

Between her backpack and her twintails posing her head can be a bit of a hassle, but other than that there's no real issue worth mentioning. Like half of her cost is probably the G Defenser, which is pretty cool but when she's in it you can't really move her around a whole lot because its huge and bulky, but it has multiple configurations and shit so its kinda shinki armor-ish

Oh, and get a tamashii stage for her if you want to display her with the G defenser, because you'll have a bad time getting her to both stand and not look awkward wearing it.

Have a hastily done size comparison shot next to some other toys (HG Origin Char's Zaku, Arnval Tempesta, Figma Nyaruko, Stylet)

>>5613140
thanks, I did see they recommend gluing her chest thing and the toes so I'll do that when I get home.

>>5613181
It's recommended, but not completely necessary. I would do the toes for sure, since sometimes the pieces come apart when you use the joint. I haven't glued mine, but I have that worry that they will come apart and go missing if I take her anywhere without being in a closed pouch or container.

really liking Materia

>>5612470
paint looks a tad [a tad mind] thick - or is that just the camera making it look like that?

what are the extra parts in materia for? Two extra thighs and then one weird looking thigh with an extra part.

>>5614188

They redesigned the thighs for Materia. Those are the old Gourai/Stylet parts.

If you buy the Koto option parts kits the old-style thighs work better with them.

>>5614194
ok cool.

decided to ditch subtlety, what do you guys think?

need to touch up a few areas, also one of the pigtails broke off right before the joint so I need to find a way to mend it. Crazy glue and plastic cement aren't doing it.

>>5615270
>Crazy glue and plastic cement aren't doing it.
Drill and pin the piece then.

B..but Battle Rondo!

Kind of a weird question for those with large collections of Shinkis: does any of you ever feel you have, well, too many? Like there's a bunch in your collection you just never pay attention to, and that you'd probably be happier with fewer? I've been looking at the 20+ I have and thinking, maybe, I overdid things a little...

>>5615270
Not sure if I'm right or not but I think the paint on her is a bit too thick on some of the parts

>>5615399
The only ones I don't like as much anymore would be my oorbellen and kohiru :/

>>5615270
i can still see the blue on the white thigh armor.

How do I get one that won't cost me an arm and a leg to see if I want to start collecting them?

>>5615405
pre-owned on amiami has some cheapies

>>5615431

Thanks. I'll check it out!

>>5615431

Hmmmm.... not a one in their pre-owned section, according to their search.

>>5615434
just temper your expectations on what's available

might be able to find a wave 1 strarf cheap, but you're certainly not going to find most heavy-armour shinks cheap

>>5615439
oh, yeah. amiami's pre-owned is weird about that. filter by company -> konami and not busou shinki

>>5615440
>>5615444

Thanks again. I'll give it another go.

I don't need the biggest or best - just one to "try out". I can always go from there.

>>5615447
Remember, Waffebunny isn't a full Shinki. It's just an option parts set. Strarf looks like your best bet for cheapness.

>>5615448

Gotcha. Some good preowned deals on there - thanks for the help.

>>5615464

Don't forget to name your Shinki, 1/12 clothes, etc.

I've gotten my used Shinkis from Mandarake. They have a better selection than amiami, but prices will vary.

THIN YOUR PAINTS

>>5615444
Don't know what happened with it. Use to be last year that you would watch both konami and shinki pages to catch listings that one had the other didn't. Then slowly less and less were showing up on the shinki page until finally the last listing got sold. I can understand if they want to consolidate things, but they still got shinki in the preowned category listing

selling some shinkis as well as armor sets over in the BST. I'm very flexible for shinki bros so hmu. I have sold here before, although a long time ago.

>>>5615697

>>5615399

47 shinkis and counting. I don't regret a single one. I gave each of them a name and a distinctive personality, so that helps.

>>5615399
I'm in the 20-30 range and I already feel like I have too many. A handful are desk bros, a dozen or so are full or double armored setups that I barely mess with but look cool on a shelf, and I have a few more in pieces in bins with spare parts. And also now I have a couple of FAG kits to build. I do feel like I should downsize.

I have over 50 not including FAGs. I fully intend to collect all of them.

I've never been one to play with toys physically all that much though, to be honest.

I am that very archetype that showed up towards the last episodes of the TV anime.

I have no regrets.
