first for FAGs

Does anybody even care about Fleswerk? Barely seen anything about her. I'm not crazy about the design either to be honest.

>>5672033
All we've seen is an unpainted prototype from one event so far I think, so, not much to run with.

>>5672699
>>5672710
Are they just for looks? They look like they have a usb connector

>>5672722
In-universe the dock is a wireless charging cradle for shinki.

What's the deal with those diabo-whatever things? Are they just shinkis for people with no taste?

What >>5672733 said, but also yes the toy is just a little stand with a USB powered light. Easy to take apart and put your own electronics in if you want though, like the one with a mini arduino board in the top post. I changed the LED in mine to blue and made it battery powered like this one.

You can also improvise your own if you don't want to spend gobs of money on something so simple.

>>5672710
Well, if you're willing to spend over $65 USD on 3DPrinted stuff, there's a cradle on Shapeways.

>>5672115

>>5672807
I was thinking of making a cradle of sorts with some epoxy putty and maybe some other materials. Probably will find a way to coat/protect the surfaces.

>>5672318
Preorder when?

How are Architect's Impact Knuckles different to the MSG kits?
I don't really like how flimsy the connection looks on the sample photos.

>>5672807
Damn, guys.
Now I want to make custom cradles for my girls.

I would think a 3D printer would be great for making all kinds of shinki and other figure accessories.

>>5673473
So far as I am aware all the primary weapons on fags are literally just the MSG weapon runners thrown in with maybe a new handle on the FAG runners.

Oh, those. I get it now. Not exactly relevant. They get points for being similarly sized figures robogirls, but they haven't said anything about them being palm sized battle robots and they definitely don't look like girls cosplaying as preexisting mecha, so they're stylistically and thematically different from everything in here. That's why no one really talks about them here. There's also no overlap between the artists/designers of that line and any of the ones making all of these.

But on the figures themselves, they're some GK artist's neat original figures that got wider releases due to popularity. Seem to be part of some sort of all-robot highschool or something, pic related. AFAIK they haven't fleshed out that universe beyond character designs and a few random promo images. Buy em if you like the designs. They'll probably fit Picoo Neemo dresses better than Shinkis do because of the proportions. Check out their general,

I might try to sculpt them on epoxy myself, but I'd still need to learn how to build the circuits for the LED and decide what to do with it as an electronic device.

I have been thinking of get one of these Momos to test the waters, I like the overall aesthetic of the figures and they are bigger that your average 1/12 fig,
Something that I don't like about of these polynians robochicks is that there too expensive for a small figure and even the base ones are bare bones in accessories
Also the Cu-poche FAG looks cute as fuck

They show up rarely on Mandarake and when they do, they go for bargain bin prices. I saw one of the first wave for 4k just a week or two ago. It might even still be up.

Oof, I dunno. I totally lucked out and found her and Gabrine together on a Noppin auction for about a hundred or so total last year, before all of them started jumping in price again. She is arguably my favorite ATM, tho, so I'd probably be willing to go about a hunnert plus for her if I had to.

I have more questions than answers :3

>>5677094

It's a roleplay accessory.

>>5677256
Ahh. But no lights or anything?

>>5677278

It has a USB cable that plugs into a computer, that turns a light in the cradle on, but that's it.

>>5677286
That would be a cool idea for an iron man figure, not HT, if a 6" could have a small lithium battery or something

>>5677286
One of my silly homebrew ideas was to fuse a USB battery pack with a custom-made cradle, so I'd have a practical charging cradle for shinki with a built-in power storage like a mini-UPS. In-universe it'd be a custom charging cradle that would work away from AC sources once charged.

>>5676815

>>5677332
The Revoltech Iron Man Mk. II and Mk. III had LEDs in their chests, but you had to pull the torso apart to access the switch. They stopped using that gimmick in later figures in the series.

Homebrewed /toy/ OC, those're straight from some nameless shinkifag in these threads. He made a tumblr for them too but his roots are here.

Okay, I already asked in /gpg/ and they didn't know anything helpful, but I see FAGs posted in here sometimes so maybe you can point me in the right direction.

I'm looking for shots of a centaur thing a guy made by strapping either a Grimgerde or Graze mobile suit to the back of an Architect. Does that ring any bells for anyone? I know it exists, I'm not crazy.

>>5682672

On blank waterslide decal sheets. Those exist. They're 8x11 which is why I have some duplicates, so I don't just have a bunch of wasted space.

>>5682676

Hope you also have a printer that actually prints white instead of just leaving it blank though

What kind of paint did you use for your FAGs and what did you guys used to loose their joints?
Somebody mentioned something last thread but I forgot.

>>5682942
>loose their joints
http://www.amazon.com/Traxxas-1666-Silicone-Dampener-Oil/dp/B0006O5GKY

Safe on all plastics and metals, a tiny bit goes a long way.

>>5682942
I run my hobby knife along the inside of the joint a couple times. Take off a very very small amount at a time though.

>>5683028
Well, shit.
I'm back from looking for it, because no third world tier service from Amazon to my third world country, and there was nothing.
What can I use instead?

>>5683296
Basically any silicone oil will do, that's just conveniently sized.

>>5683305
I didn't find any silicone oil of any kind.
There was some of that wood polisher and dashboard brightener??, both with silicone and nothing else.

>>5683305
But a warning about silicon sprays - a lot of them contain petroleum and will fuck up some plastics, so, make sure to check the label for whatever you find. Pure silicon = good. Anything else in there with it = stay away.

>>5683314
Without knowing the specific product I can't say one way or the other. Find it online and link it maybe or take some pics of the labels?

>>5683326
This thing.

>>5682942
>Loosen their joints

I find I need to tighten them more than anything. The left shoulder joint on my Materia wont stay up unless its all the way up and my Stiletto's hip/thigh joints are also very loose.

Any suggestions?

>>5683476
Try using a thin coat of nail polish.

>>5683346
I would stay far far away from that stuff. Look for silicone oil, not a polish or cleaner or anything scented. There's no telling what's really in that.

>>5683588
Would Tamiya model car lubricant work? Is that one silicone based?

>>5683614
Like shock oil? As long as it's 100% silicone it should.

I'm sitting here looking at my architect still in the box, but I can't bring myself to assemble her. I'm slightly terrified of trying to put her together and screwing up. Is this normal for first time owner?
(reposting because left name from other board on)

>>5683912
Go over to the gunpla general and pick yourself out an HG and build that first. That way you can practice and screw up all you need on that one so you'll have your techniques down for your girl.

>>5684054
HG?

>>5684076
High-grade, the gunpla kits have different gradings for difficulty/part accuracy.

>>5683912
A couple of things I learned from building my Stylet:
1) If you only have shitty nippers available, leave a few milimeters of excess when you cut and be really patient because you'll have to sand down that shit. Get at least three sheets of sandpaper on different gauges; I started with 1000 and will be finishing with 2000.
2) Do everything in the order the instructions tell you and only cut what you are told to use in every step.
3) This is related to 1. Never let anything you cut to become white because that might spread and bite into the piece you'll be using, and unless you're painting everything you won't want that.

Good luck, guy.

>>5684085
>sandpaper
I use emery boards for my 40k models. It's the same as sandpaper but easier to use and trim. So that's one base covered.

>Never let anything you cut to become white because that might spread and bite into the piece you'll be using
I don't understand what you mean.

>>5684111
When you cut, you apply pressure to what you're cutting. Plastic turns white when it's crushed and that might spread to its surroundings.
Shitty nippers will need more pressure than usual to make a cut and it might white plastic on the pieces you'll use. Also, bad form when cutting will do that so be careful with how you cut.

>>5684128
Okay makes sense and does nothing to ease my anxiety. Still not like it'll assemble itself.

>>5684145
Basically: "Use a fresh, sharp knife"

>We added Vitamin E and Aloe Vera to minimize friction and protect and restore tissues.
Yeah, nah, you're only supposed to keep aloe vera in food safe plastics because it leaches chemicals readily, so putting some sex lube with aloe in it on toys might cause brittleness eventually. It could work fine, but I wouldn't risk it.

That hobby grease should do the trick though, it just a little harder to apply than oil sometimes.

Are those hobby cutting matts worth picking up?

>>5687732
I tend to have more respect for people who have them. They make you seem more serious about your hobbies.

>>5687732
Well yea, why wouldn't they be, unless you're happy getting your table all sliced up

>>5687732
They make cutting stuff way easier, because you worry less about destroying your desk or table. Get one, it's worth it.

>>5687763
I'm still using this ancient cutting mat I got from my old school days. Still works.

>>5687777
>because you worry less about destroying your desk or table
This also goes beyond destroying by cutting, the cutting mat is a perfect place to do shit on top of without fear of leaving paint, glue or whatever behind on your table

>>5687779
I find once you get a cutting mat you hardly ever need to replace it, my current one has been with me for years, at some point I wasn't doing any hobby things and put it away where it got hot and all weirdly bent, but once I got into Gunpla I put heavy shit on top of it, straightened it out and have been using it since

>>5687732
Nope. Order a kit online, grab the cardboard box it ships in, and layer up pieces of cardboard the size of the mat you want. Tape around the edges and you have a perfectly good, free cutting matt in whatever size you like.

>>5687856
Until your xacto knife goes right through and gouges the desktop, or you spill some filthy thinner on it and think 'hey it's fine the cardboard soaked it up' and then you move it and you have a big stain.

The only time I've ever replaced a cutting mat is when I spilled a bottle of plastic cement on it. It stunk up the whole house until I opened all the windows and melted all the lines off the mat.

>>5687877
I did too. Then I sliced through my index finger and had to go to Urgent Care.

I'm rethinking how I live my life.

I've been doing plamo shit for ten years and haven't cut myself even once. Maybe you guys are just clumsy?

Statistically, it'll happen one day because:
1. Death is a patient motherfucker

>>5687913
Yo knoe, snap-fit isn't plamo

>>5687953
What? Plamo is just an abreviation for plastic models whether snapfit or detailed glue together stuff.

>>5687913
I've never cut myself too bad. I know I'm tempting fate though.

>>5687889
Pussy.
I once stabbed right through my right thumb cutting a rubber hose with one of those knives made for frozen meat and only needed to bath it in alcohol and put a compress made out of cotton and two bandaids on it.

I never implied anything like that, everybody knows Konami's busy tearing itself appart. Work on your reading comprehension.

Well I finally got my first shinki. I got a strarf in the mail today, and after washing the plasticizer off, she's good. Previous owner kept everything about perfect so no problems besides a slightly loose joint which I'll fix up later.

But basically she seems like cool stuff, and I can get how there's still a dedicated thread here for this line.

>>5689815
Welcome friend. Good job starting with Strarf. And if you think that's good you should consider buying some newer ones too, the designs and articulation for the second gen figures are even better.

>>5689815
>plasticizer
Is that a protective coating thing?

>>5690102
Read the guide. Plasticizer is in every plastic in varying amounts. Makes it softer, I believe. Older toys sometimes start to "sweat", or leak the plasticizer. It shows they're degrading, but usually easy to wash off. More common in toys that haven't been released from their cardboard prisons.

>>5690144
Plastizer is weird business. I had a nedo I was gonna display recently, sticky as hell, covered in the stuff. Soap and water washed it right off. All good. But I open up some I've had in boxes way longer and they come out pristine. Confuses me.

>>5690144
Okay thanks. Also is there difference between shinkis marked PVC and ones not marked PVC on Mandarake?

>>5690151
Temperature, humidity, and exposure to sunlight/UV rays affects the rate of plasticizer leakage, I think.

>>5690197
This. Being in the box is sort of an insulator from heat/humidity/UV, especially if you have it in yet another box like a shipping box. Of course this won't make a difference if you're house is a sweltering jungle shit hole but if it's just a little warm it will keep things cooler and avoid massive leakage. In that scenario you could have figures on your shelf leaking while stuff in box isn't.

>>5690144
I'm pretty certain this strarf spent most of her existence in this box (no one even looked at the instructions); so she was probably sweating it up quite a bit in there.

I think the only part that can be swapped is the bottom part of the hair.

>>5691971
>I think the only part that can be swapped is the bottom part of the hair.
Like, the back of the head? I should've been more clear, but I want to swap the posterior halves of their heads so Gourai gets the twintails and Architect the short hair.

>>5691991
They all use the same connectors, or similar enough that it wouldn't be too hard, but the edges might not match up so you'd likely need to sand/putty.

Most fabric dyes no longer take to plastic well but I would still recommend making sure you've sealed the dye with ice water and washed it once or twice before just in case.
I'm overprotective though.

>>5697508
So from the looks of that, you take the tube bits from the far left, shave the pegs off and use those? That's not hard.

>>5697952
Not exactly, other Shinkis came with the same fitting but without the pegs on the sides. But you can modify them if those are all you have. They're included just for this sort of thing.

>>5697952

There are other ways to attach the hands as well with the given parts, don't be afraid to experiment and figure out your own config.

Does anyone know how to strengthen the swivel joint that connects the mid section to upper body section on a FAG? Every time I try to connect medium to large back packs for boosters or back mounted guns and cannons, my girls like to do the limbo making hard to pose them.

The only thing you can really do is just replace it with a different joint.
Maybe try revoltech joints or figma joints.
Don't use the ball joints from bolden arm arms though cause it's as loose as the original.

Might wanna check any hobby stores that caters to either tabletop gaming or train/other vehicular model hobbies.

If I knew of other anons willing to group buy I'd join in.

Really regret pre ordering so much, otherwise I'd have gone for the whole set.

>Apoxie and green stuff
Thank God those are also used for fixing broken shit. We have loads of green stuff.

Now to find a tutorial to sculpt twinbraids.

I know what you mean. That Charlotte Yeager scale is coming out that same month, and I really can't justify a near 300 freedom dollar order to get two sets of them.

Make ropes, braid ropes, attach braids. Add mass for hair and the tip after the braid base dries.

I don't know much about green stuff, but if you wait an hour or two after mixing the A and B parts of apoxie, it should be sturdy enough to not get mixed together but still pliable enough to shape.

That sounds like something I could be starting now.
Stylet's head proportions are the exact same as Gourai's, right?

>>5703440
Nice.
On what program did you do that digibash?

>>5703445
Oh shit. I meant Architect in place of Gourai.
I'll be using the back of Architect's head as the back of Gourai's so I can attach the twinbraids on her.

Just some good ol' fashioned Photoshop

The trick is using adjustment layers with masks. Lots and lots and lots of masks

I know I've seen these somewhere but can't find it.

>implying all latin american people aren't white
Come on, man. every country have his amount of people from different ethnicity
If we gonna go with stereotypes, I could say that 100% of USAfags are burger-eating landwhales and UK is now the backyard of Muslims
