>>5735672
Personally I dig the big eye designs. But then I really like cartoony, exaggerated designs so eh.

>>5735637
I know of one taobao seller that occassionally runs a recast of MMS3rd blanks without the need for rivets or screws. https://shop68300666.world.taobao.com/?spm=a1z0b.7.0.0.BoVtX2

Other than that, it's Yahoo Japan, secondhand sites, or conventions.

So if I want to use ethe various 1/12 clothes and what not out there I should get a nude body and use it for that plus whatever shinki head/face I have on hand?

>>5736272
I mean you could put clothes over their normal bodies but it'd look like wearing clothes over clothes. See pic above your post. Using the matching nude body for whoever you want to dress up will look much better.

>>5736350
Depending on the Shinki it may look like they're wearing tights under their clothing, it's hot too.

Graffias's scorpion tail has an attachment for turning her into a Lamia. Shit's cash.

>>5736782

You can get her for about 11000-12000 yen if you're patient, and yes, she's worth that price.

>>5736795
It can also be used to make her into a scarrow

>>5736795
Fuck, now I need a Graffias.

>>5736796
I see. Hmm, that's not so bad I guess, better than what her wavemate Sharatang usually goes for anyway.

Fug, I need my Noise Marine waifu. Shame I'm not in a position to be acquiring any more plastic crack at the moment.

>>5736782
Doesn't she have light up LEDs?

>>5736833
She does. Blue. And depending on how you turn the key (shaped like a guitar pick) they either stay on, or pulse quickly like a DJ booth.

I preffer the girtablilu mode.

It depends what you mean by based on animals
>I think Fubuki and Mizuki were supposed to be Tengu like. at least Fubuki was.
They were definitely Tengu, but tengu were based on animals - crows, foxes, that sort of thing. So you could make an argument for them being animals in a roundabout sort of way.

>Maryceles and Proxima were based off mythological creatures
It depends if you count those as animals or not, especially since you could just as easily say octopus and horse as opposed to kraken and centaur. Of course, if you did, you should Gabrine and Renge

>the Fencer sisters have gems as the main motif.
They also have a ballerina vibe, based specifically on swan lake costumes, so they are based on swans in a VERY roundabout way.

>>5737490
not all of them are absurdly expensive.
Partio and the sky-girl line hasn't reached the double digits yet. Most I see partio go for is roughly $70

>>5737490
There are still some cheaper ones. Almost all of them are more expensive than say, a figma, if that's what you're used to, but still some good girls under $100 USD. Just set a FigInStock reminder for your grail Shink.

Nigga that's a plane miko, granted she's got bunny ears but it's not the predominant theme.

>>5738108
Thus, subtheme.

Murmeltier has a woodchuck/beaver subtheme and Asuka's a bunny.

>>5738050
>>5738077
Take tons of photos of her. The swimsuit alternate version of Maochao is pretty adorable.

Gabrine arrived today from buysmartjapan. Plus side: nothing missing, no broken pieces. Down side: midsection joint a little loose and whoever had her before me fixed the weak ankle joint problem by gluing both joints into a fixed position.

>>5744859
Try isolating the stuck parts and putting them in the freezer for a bit. If it's superglue he used then it should make it possible to free the joints.

>>5744885
Thanks anon. I'll give it try later.

>>5744899
Just be careful, OK? I haven't tried it myself, and I don't want to be indirectly responsible for Gabrine breaking. Try and get some second opinions first, maybe do a little research. Just don't use any kind of "glue remover" on her- they WILL melt the plastic.

>>5744859

Gabrine doesn't actually have weak ankles. She has super-tight ones that get stuck easily. There's no glue in there. Or if there is, they broke once already. Just be gentle with her and you'll work them free.

>>5744859
>whoever had her before me fixed the weak ankle joint problem by gluing both joints into a fixed position.

Shittiest camera in the world, sorry (I'll get a better one if I try to sell anything so you can actually see what you're getting) but here's my first attempt at recasting. The painted ones are the originals and the unpainted ones are my recasts. Just started small with an Architect and Werkstra face, but they turned out very well. There were more than a few small bubbles which are hopefully due to my ineptitude. I'll practice a bit more and if the imperfections clear up at all (or even if they don't) I'll try the full body recast.

Long story short, as of right now, my first run was great for personal use, but not quite high enough quality that I'm considering selling anything yet.

Fort Bragg got a re-release recolor with extra faces. Why couldn't they?

My Renge has a hairpiece and I got got a bunch of laser cut parts from Richigo when he was making them.

>>5745579
The wings and tail are from etsy correct?

>>5745548
Do you just cast pieces to customize or do you sculpt stuff from scratch? Been considering getting into the game but I dunno if I have the skills. I'm an alright painter but I can't sculpt for shit.

>>5745592
I've been using broken/old parts for the most part. For example, my Waffebunny lost a pigtail so I ordered a new one and now use the old one for experimentation. And then kit bashing works a lot. Grab a custom lily, widen the neck hole a bit, slap some cat ears on it, and shove a shinki face into it, or something like that. That gets real expensive though.

Aside from that, it has been sculpting bits from scratch (hair is surprisingly easy) but now casting is giving me a TON more options. One thing I'm planning on doing is recasting Werkstra's front hair piece and giving her straight cut bangs instead of the parted ones, for example. Werkstra would be too expensive and rare for me to irreparably fuck around with before this.

A bit of one...you probably won't ever find a new one, but used ones show up on Jap auction sites fairly regularly (at least a year ago).

It's worth hunting, though, if only for the insane props...the SWAT girl came with a TON of realistic weapons, a special right hand for the sniper rifle that also allows the user to point with melee weapons, plus a Shinki-scale Zippo lighter and carton of cigarettes.

And odds are, he either hasn't thought of what to do with the last three yet or prefers them base.

>>5746362
Oh, I've read his comics. It just always looked like a normal house to me. I typically picture a dorm as having multiple bunk beds and the like especially given how many girls he has. For economic purposes of course

Maybe he can get them scarves and hats? That would personalize them a ton.

>>5746352

Currently un-personalized are Edy, my Yda, Lucy my Jusivy, and Leah my Ianeira. I want to give Leah a meme-window sweater, so that one's just logistics, but nothing appropriate has come to me for Edy or Lucy. Lucy's going to be used in a haunted house storyline far in the future, so she needs something cute but creepy. Edy's new, and I just haven't thought of anything for her. She's going to be their Quartermaster, handling inventory and logistics for supplies and the like. (And I already have more hats and scarves than I can shake a stick at, so I want to avoid those going forward.)

I'm super jealous of how good your Maochao's face looks. A lot of the older shinkis' faces get oily, slimy and indistinct looking as the plasticizes leech out. Mine doesn't photograph nearly as well as yours does.

Wait so this plasticizer IS a thing?

What is it exactly? I thought the first anon was just fucking with me like those "Finger Box" threads.

>>5748422
Yes. You must have at least two.

>>5748435
It leaks out under the right conditions. It requires a nebulous combination of temperature, humidity, and time for it to secrete out. One important factor is the composition of the figure. What sort of plastics are injected and how much of each? The quality and variance of these plastic components also play a part. You can easily wash plasticizer away with soapy water. But the more that leaks out the more rigid your plastic will become. These toys aren't designed to last very long. Cherish them while they last.

>>5748435
Plasticizer is a chemical added to make plastic soft and pliable. As the plastic degrades over time, the plasticizer "sweats" out of the figure and it gets more brittle. You'll know it when you touch it because it'll be sticky. You can wash it off but it's likely to come back once it starts. Some figures never have it,, some get it quickly. Exacerbated by things like high temps and humidity, but not necessarily caused by them. It is a mystery. For certain protection, sacrifice a Benio to the toy gods.

>>5748444
>>5748450
Well shit, Thanks guys I'll have to keep an eye out for this.

>>5748435
Renge and most other mms 3rds don't suffer from the leaky plasticizer issue, at least under 'normal' conditions. Ignore the scare stories.

Yep, confirming it that those are PLUM "option parts"

Can someone post pics of parts used to give Strarf Mk2 her clawhands? I've got the FAP, isn't there supposed to be a part specifically for that? But there's a million pieces in here, I have no clue which one I'm supposed to be using.

>>5748458
You're getting trolled with logical fallacies, it's not plasticizer; it's release agent. All you need to do is wash it away with dish soap and warm water and making sure to not leave any moisture on the screws and rivets.

>>5748926
I don't have the FAP myself but I think they're squarish at one end (where they connect to the arms) with big chunky round wrists at the other. They go with the replacement arm pieces that can be used to carry the smaller swords in the heavily armoured mode. If you can't find them, you can use the round male-male connector with the pegs on the sides, and if you want it is possible to slot the arm guards onto them to make them look more presentable.

From the box bio for Dusk.

MMS TYPE CANNON FORT BRAGG DUSK

Maker / Arms In Pocket
Type Number / AIP021D


Since 2030 Arms In Pocket was touted as the top maker of model guns and other military toys.
2037, the company completed AIP021, Fort Bragg, which was developed with higher performance weaponry even for shinki development.
True to its concept of a "cannon" type shinki, it specializes in stationary long-range combat using its FB256 1.2mm smoothbore gun which is unfolded from its backpack.
In order to help strengthen its weakness of close range combat, it has been equipped with a combat knife and a small shield.
Because of this optimization, it has allowed the shinki to take a larger variety of tactics.
Though the default AI setting has a serious nature and can be a little stubborn, in the middle of a mission it seems to abide by a creed of absolute obedience to its master.

>>5750946
Bonus Zelnogrard Berig box bio:

MMS TYPE FIREARMS ZELNOGRARD BERIG

Maker / Arms In Pocket
Type Number / AIP035B


With AIP021 Fort Bragg's success in shinki development in 2038, Arms in Pocket developed AIP035 Zelnogrard with the aim to increase firepower.
In order to stay portable and to reduce overall weight burden, Zelnogrard's main weapons' launcher and attachment mechanisms were incorporated into the arms and legs to allow an increase of firepower without sacrificing mobility.
Variation type AIP035B Zelnogrard Berig also further developes the shinki by increasing its defensive capability with newly added shield equipment.
It is possible to reconfigure the shield into machine gun attachments to not only increase defensive capabilities but offensive capabilities as well.
The default setting of the AI is bright and positive, but has a wealth of knowledge of military data and has a slight tendency to chatter on about military topics possibly due to the makers' obession with military goods.

>When she activates her "Shelling Stance" her backpack unfolds and allows her to engage shelling at all ranges.
>A healthy girl who perceives everything (even perversion) positively. However, she can be annoying if a hierarchy is not set, and needs to be told what is good and bad.


>MMS TYPE FIREARMS 'ZELNOGRARD'
>MAKER // ARMS IN POCKET

>A shinki equipped with various firearms. With enhanced accuracy which allows her to take full advantage of her weapons, she excels at medium to long range shooting tactics.
>She is also equipped with a knife to fight in close quarters but overall prefers to fight outside of an opponent's combat range.
>Lively and super-positive thinking, she is able to make friends with just about anybody very quickly.
>Usually treats masters like friends, but occasionally shows glimpses of a feminine side.
>Very curious and is willing to try various things.

They're from Dengeki Hobby Magazine. They're in different colors than the original releases, and sometimes come with bonus parts too.

>>5755388
They're the "shinies" of shinkis. Different colors, sometimes little extra hair parts and stuff. For instance, normal Eukrante has pink hair and purple armor. Shiny Dengeki Euk has blonde hair and red armor. Either way, a Good Girl.

They're rarely more expensive than the originals. Just get the ones whose colors you prefer.

Got a new Shink and she's really floppy in the upper torso. The joint under her chest cant hold shit for pose. Do I have to take screws out to get to that joint? It's a ball joint, right? Do I just dip it in future?

It might be help.

Fock, i put some paiper in joint but it looks like i fucked her screw-thread. Her joints go loose again but i afraid i can't put screws in their places this time.

You're not me

>>5755480
No im not, sorry. But i have this problem. I did all this and now i dont know how to make tighten upper torso.

Unless it's dengeki ach and yda.

>>5755507
Speaking of which, are Ach and Yda worth getting? Yda in particular looks awesome (Ach looks great too of course but Yda is my favourite out of the two).

>>5755521
They are.

Seconded, can confirm. You can do crazy stuff with their trikes when the colors match.

My mid-building photosession turned weird.

A note of caution for anyone opening up Shinki bodies. There are several clear plastic pieces in the center of the torso designed to maintain friction for the joints. They are easily lost if you're not careful or even aware of them.

That's a bit cruel isn't it?

>>5755816
So that's like softcore planelegs?

Those boxes are great. I use them for everything. I have them scattered everywhere.
