I never realized how flexible Gunpla was. Anyone know where I might be able to put streaks and oil stains on the Wehrmech? I'm thinking under the bullet holes, but I can't think of where else.

>>5665137
Put some staining around the joints, yo.

>>5665150
will do, i was thinking about using a cotton swab with some oil paint to just spread grime around, and that should be pretty easy to do with the joints, i'd just need to let it dry for a day or two

Well, finally deciding to get around to at least plan the colors for CHROME MACHINE!!. I'm going to turn the green into chrome, and the dark gray into black chrome, but have no idea what to turn the light green into. I was also wanting to incorporate holomatic spectral chrome after seeing some images of it on kits, perhaps on the upper-body armor, shoulder discs, arm armor, and shin plates?

>>5665060
I'm consistently more and more tempted to pick up some kind of TIE kit. Maybe I should hold out for a Defender.

>>5665272
I can't quite articulate why, but this doesn't even look like a gundam series design. It looks like it belongs in an entirely different mecha franchise.

Anyone know what I mean?

>>5665283
It looks like an SRW design

>>5665283
Too much miniscule detail I guess?
It's by the same guy that did both kimaris, pepe gundam and all reco ms that's not g-self

>>5665280
I know, I'm saying Koto shook up the market with the fags.

>>5665283
Doesn't have your typical gundam features. Not counting the standard IBO design schemes of course.

Nope. Next RE100 was just shown in one of those silhouette light boxes that distort the shape but it clearly wasn't Kshatriya.

Just buy the HG, and buy the RE whenever it comes out (probably not this year)

And thats it. The VF has no need to transform into any other forms, just unplug the leg/arm assembly and equip to the gril, then transform the rest of the VF and plug it into the back.

But its just a concept anon, things could change(like never ever releasing).

definitely no for an open house show but this time only official guests and VIPs are around

>>5665553
Not really, the base kit doesn't have removable armor of any sorts. There's no "cast off" option, so to speak, so the anon's right.

FAGs have some cast off armor parts and their limbs are designed to be swapped out easily.

What they mostly have is hardpoints that make it easy to attach parts and weapons to.

>>5665612
I can only think of Gourai's thigh plates that can be removed without looking like absolute trash.

But thats beside the point though. We're all arguing over nothing here, FAGs are fine for what they are, shinkis are shinkis and not FAGs

What's the cheapest way of getting gunpla in Europe? (France particularly)
Cuz site like amiami have good prices but the shipping costs are horribly expensive
Amazon seems to be the best deal but isn't there anything better,?

>>5665854

Hard to blame them, considering that they expected Age to be the big saviour of Gundam for kids and then that turned out to be a nostalgia wank toy show.

I'm curious how many gunpla builders in these threads post their shit on youtube

Seems like it would be an easy way to slowly build some as revenue since I see some people with thousands of subs who just poorly snap fit kits together

>>5665897
Isn't there copyright on gundam stuff? I'm not sure if you could make money like that

>>5665904
Aren't "reviews" under fair use though?

plenty of people make money from playing video games or review films

>>5665883
Hobbylinkjapan works better than Amiami, shipping costs wise, if you play a bit with the private warehouse.
Otherwise, yeah I get them via Amazon/ebay, sometimes. Be wary of using EMS with HLJ though, they use chronopost once the package is in France, who overcharges the TVA tax with their own bullshit fee.

You can't sue people for reviewing your products (even if they are making money from the review) unless you have evidence that they are outright falsifying information. Basically its protected like parody is.

It's also really not worth sueing over and usually is bad press if you do. Companies will even occasionally send larger reviewers free new products to help advertise them.

Sending a C&D or asking a site to take something down (Or in the case of youtube they take it down themselves before even being asked) is not the same as a lawsuit. You can send letters and requests like that willy nilly for the stupidest of reasons because technically it is a private matter and the law is not involved in it yet. Its only if one party ignores the request or decides to escalate it into court that it becomes a legal issue.

They can't sue you over it without looking like idiots and assholes, but they can sure as hell send letters just like any old senior citizen dissatisfied with something.

Found this somewhere, here's the rest of the Star Wars kit display, anon.

The A wing comes with that turret accessory.

When you guys are painting kits with inner frames, do you topcoat the inner frame separately from the outer armor or topcoat a limb with all the armor attached? I'm feeling if I did any detailed painting on the inner frame at all, I'd have to topcoat it first before armor unless I want scratch marks all over my pistons, right?

The turret is a neat addition. I just hope they'll release a B-wing at some point too, then my life will be complete.

If the final finish of the armor is different than the frame top coat separately.

Scratched paint is something that always happen on parts like the inner frame. It is suggested to sand the parts a bit if the fit is too tight and result in paint scratches.

I skip the gloss black if I feel it won't affect the final finish.

Chrome and silver is more for clear colors I believe.

Just vacuum. Or build one of those clean boxes. Those boxes where it's isolated from the outside and you interact with the contents using gloves connected to the box. I've seen some people build it using a clear plastic tub and rubber gloves.

>>5667155
it's not much of a challenge to cover something with paint in 1 coat, the trick is to cover in paint in as thin layer(s) as possible, that's where airbrush and multiple coats usually come into play

thin coats also tend to dry much faster and not grab dust out of the air (which your coat seems to have)

>>5667394
yeah, you can even build a whole clean room for working with resin.

or, you know, you can just wet sand it nice and slow by hand and avoid the expense

It's getting released that soon? Just when I thought things couldn't get better.

Now if only they'd release a B-wing too..

Question about the 1/100 Gusion, can I get like a cheaper 1/100 Graze or something and use that frame to put on Gusion's armor? I already have 1 as a Rebake but I want both. I am also open to light modding if that is what it takes.

>>5667755
Graze frames are different from gundam frames. Beyond that, I don't know.

>>5667755
No Graze. 1/100 Barbatos but you may really need mods because it doesn't have the same inner frame as Gusion.

>>5667602
It's so easy to forget the scale of mobile suits, like when metal gear Rex's rail gun is barely bigger than the gundams bazooka

>>5667647
Google "Bandai star wars" and you'll find the plamo site with the schedule for them, also monthly in the general Bandai release List

>>5667755
Nope. The barbatos frame won't work either without modding parts as gusions frame has some different connections and proportions compared to barbatos.

I already tried to swap the frames and the amount of mods needed started piling up.

>>5667959
The main issue is the knee joints. On the gusion they are separateable at the joint and you can just pop the gusions lower leg onto them.

On barbatos the joint is fixed in place by the lower leg parts and will need more than a little cutting to get it to connect to gusions lower leg.

You will also need to trim the gusions waist armor to fit around the frame.

Most everyone there is a snapfag, and a good amount of the best kits posted there are from other forums anyway. A lot of the stuff that isn't snapfitted is just repainted, which is fine.

Making some progress on this kitbash I've been wanting to do for a while. I know I wanna add silver and some gold details while keeping the red as the primary color, but I'm not exactly sure what parts I want to paint what color. Also, does anyone have advice on how to attach the Graze Ritter headpiece that came with the Barbatos 6?

Is there a good, simple guide to wire up LEDs into a kit for someone who has zero experience with electronics whatsoever? Do I need shit like a soldering iron?

Honestly, I'd say paint the main armor red, and go for gold joints and silver pistons, like this. Also for attaching the headpiece, glue and putty.

Grimgerde without the helmet wings really rustle me though, more than it should. I WANT to like it because it's neat, but the more I look at it, the more I want to punch newborn infants as hard as I can.

As for gold details, having fancy gold trimmings like pic related might look neat, since it's all ornate and knightly and the grimgoose has that knightly look to it. I heard it's pretty easy to do, using decorations they use for fingernails, or something. I think?

That... actually looks really great. The Tallgeese looks mixes pretty well with the Grimgerde, especially the white color.
The head still bothers me, but nowhere near as much as that other guy's, I guess because it has that thing on it. The head without anything on it just feels naked, and wrong.

>>5668990
The head looks terrible... It's almost formless, like an albino killer whale suddenly developed a human spine and it's tilting its head down at you. It sounds creepy in theory but it looks silly as shit because it has no jawline.

Should you completely snap fit a kit together then disassemble before painting?

>>5669019
Not necessarily. Use your best judgement.

>>5669019
If you're snapping it together before painting the kit, you should be thinning/shortening the pegs and tabs while making their respective holes a bit wider for easier disassembly.

Otherwise, paint it first and then put it together.

>>5669019
Partially. If you're gonna seam weld, then cut the pegs at an angle so they won't snap together so firmly before building. This way you can see where parts chafe and may scratch at the paint before you disassemble to paint.

>>5667469
Looked like shit? Maybe the MG ones, but the Figurise 6 Kamen Riders were better than Figuarts in many ways. Also, the Star Wars models are pretty much FIgurise as they use some of the same techniques and polycaps.

Gold inner frame details might not be a bad idea actually. I know I want to keep the skirt red, as if it was cloth a knight would wear. Likewise, the shoulders and some bits on the arms/lower legs would be silver like where armor would go.

Also, the headpiece needs a slot to go in. I can either sand down the notch (and some of the rest of the mohawk) to shape and glue it on, or make a slot on Grim's head.

>>5668946
I don't mind helm wings in general, but the ones on the kit are way too long. And not many knight helms had wings. I'd prefer a horn or something anyway.

That's a good idea for the gold trimmings though, never heard of that method. I'll try adding them to the skirt for sure. Just gotta figure out where to put the silver.
