***GM Group Build***
Rules:
Pick an HG GM, and paint and customize it. For it to count as a GM, it literally just has to have GM in the name of the MS on the box, otherwise, no, it doesn't count. As far as customizing it, I'm going to place a limit on that. The limit is 50% additions to the kit.
To define 50%, look at it like this, you could take a GM Custom and replace the arms (including shoulders), legs, and backpack and I'd call that 50%. I'm not counting handheld bits in that. If you're unsure of something please ask in IRC, the thread, or email.

Due Date: 8/12
Submissions go to [email protected]
Submission format
Please submit photos in jpg via a compressed file (zip, rar, or 7zip), please don't link images to imgur or photobucket or the like. Please also name yourself, even if it's a pseudonym. Also indicate your participation in the contest below.

***Contest***
Instead of doing just a generic group build this time, there's going to be a prize pack. The prize pack will contain a GM Sniper K9, a set of glass paint mixing jars, and a Tamashii stand (sized for HGs or RDs). Shipping is at my expense.

Rules for the contest:
If you wish to enter the contest I'm going to actually need some proof. Please send me pictures of your kit as a work in progress and a final product with a timestamp and your email address. I hate to put his burden on you guys but this is the internet and people suck.

Judging
Regardless of who wins the contest proper, all entries will be made available on a blog post on Saturday, August 13th. Actual judging will take place Saturday as well, with the winner announced that evening. The winner will be contacted via email and be given a two day grace period for responding. PLEASE USE AN ACTIVE EMAIL WHEN SUBMITTING!

>>5824414
I had greater plans for my GM until I realised scratch building is such a pain in the butt

how long do these tiny cans of topcoat last?
they also have this mr. super clear flat spray that comes in a bigger can. are those basically the same things?

>>5824628
2-3 kits at best. 20% of what's sprayed from a can actually gets on the kit

>>5824628
Mr. Super Clear is Lacquer
Mr. Top Coat is Acrylic

Acrylic is safer, but weaker. If you go with Mr. Super Clear, make sure the paint as fully cured and dried. It can fuck up acrylic paint or eat through un-primered plastic. Although I've never had a problem and I mostly use Mr. Super Clear for flat coats and use acrylic paint, and never paint the white parts.

Also Mr. Super Clear comes in gloss, semi-gloss, and flat.

What do I need to look for when buying an air compressor?
I found a Westminster one for about 30 dollars on Radioshack.

>>5825066

A pressure regulator is a must. A tank is also something that is much better to have than to not.

How is this one? Some guy is selling it for about 100 dollars without airbrush. No brand provided for some reason.

>>5825369
It's an old MSV design that's not being featured in any popular media while the Local Type is a new design, with new mythos that belongs to the new Origin OVA.

If I panel line after painting withought gloss topcoating how bad would it be

>>5825485
with markers?
you run the chance of chipping the paint along the panel line

a wash?
you run the chance of stripping the paint along the panel

all in all it just means more work to strip and repaint if you want it perfect

>eat through un-primered plastic
This meme needs to die.

Lacquer thinner != acetone.

Anyone know long it takes for Mr.Cement to fully set?

So I dun goofed and put the wrong primer on and it had dried. What's the most effective way to get this off? It's acrylic primer from Vallejo.

>>5825623
Lacquer thinner is a concoction. It will usually contain a large portion of acetone like 15-20~%.

And acetone isn't the only solvent that will attack plastic. Limonene can dissolve HIPS and to a lesser degree ABS (though this takes much longer), which is why Mr Color Limonene or whatever it's called is basically just Limonene and maybe some other junk. From personal experience, lacquer thinner will attack plastics, even stuff like PVC, but of course the effect varies from plastic to plastic.

If you're impatient like me I just slice off all the excess a few hours later when it stop being so squishy.

>>5825685
let it soak in bleach, maybe cola if you're afraid bleach is too hot

>>5825685
Try windex. If all else fails an overnight soak in Simple Green will remove most acrylics.

>>5824322
Maybe if Bandai decides to be really, really kind we might get it as an option part? I know it's unlikely, but fuck it, it's all I have left to hope for. My fingers are crossed.

>>5825599
Yeah they are sold in many places, just like >>5825608 says make sure they can work with low pressure, too. It's useful when you are airbrushing fine lines or details.

Lacquer thinners come in different varieties with different chemicals. Here #1 contains 20% acetone and #2 contains 60% toluene (methylbenzene)
http://www.woodworkingnetwork.com/wood-blogs/what_chemicals_are_in_your_lacquer_thinner_127807253.html

Acetone and methylbenzene will melt HIPS, most HGUCs and older 1/100s. Acetone will melt ABS. You have a 50% chance according to this, but considering hobby lacquer primers chemically etch onto plastic the recommended thinners probably contain toluene or acetone to attack the surface of the plastic. If you've ever worked with PVC it's recommended you use a solvent that will attack the plastic for paint to adhere better.

>>5826011
>woodworking lacquer thinners contains bad things that can melt plastic
>therefore lacquer thinner in your hobby spray can can "eat through un-primered plastic"
There is a gap in this logic somewhere, I just can't put my finger on it.

>>5826079
That's reason why lacquer paints can only be airbrushed. The solvent attacks the plastics then evaporates promptly. The end result is extremely durable paint because the pigments are fused partially into the plastic.

Anyone know if any sites are selling old HGUCs like the GM real cheap?

Honestly neither, you want a compressor that has a tank so it's not on constantly and thus heating up. If the area around the water trap is hot then it simply won't work and you'll have a bunch of moisture going through the hose.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001738DXU/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_6anNxbXS6VQKQ is honestly fine even if it's not a brand name compressor; I've been using it with no problems.

Oh, ok. In that case, should I make a similar structure that's square and just do the round part of it with a puttied outside layer? I haven't worked with putty and plaplate much so the thought process kind of eludes me. I still don't see how I'd do a caved in shape.

Thanks for the answers !

You can get an 1/100 MG Heavyarms Endless Waltz Version that was released in 2012. There's other MG kits from Wing EW if you're interested in expanding from Heavyarms

>>5827832
Thank a lot anon. It looks a little hard to not fuck up a 1/100 since I'm a beginner but I guess I have to start somewhere.

>>5827841
If you can build a 1/144, then you can build a 1/100. there is no higher level of skill involved, just more pieces.

And to answer your quest, no, there has not been a new heavyarms kit in 1/144 since the original run of the series. In fact, that shitty olf 1/144 NG kit is still the only non-SD kit of the TV version of the design. The 1/100 MG is a katoki redesign version that has more missiles, but instead of the gattling arm it just has a giant gattling.

>>5827885
>>5827885
Thanks. It's pretty sad since I love the Gatling arm design.
Is there any hopes of them making one someday in the future or is it unlikely ?

>>5827885
Although if you aren't strictly atached to getting it as a model kit there is a fantastic non-scale figure of it from the Robot Damashii line which is probably the best version of the TV design currently available in any form.

Also yeah, they still make the old model kit if you really want it. You can get it for under $10 most places it's in stock.

>>5827894
The RD goes for over $100 and is definitely not worth it unless you have to complete an existing collection of Wing RDs, none of the Wing RDs would be worth that price alone

>>5827893
There's always a chance, but not soon enough for it to be relevant to anyone (5+ years at least).

>>5827894
Under 10 bucks won't kill me. I'll probably pick one even it's not a really well made one.

No major ones, but hobby wave has flat rate shipping to the US and Canada ($12 and $18 respectively)

Putting together the Full Armor Thunderbolt MG. I'm being given two options for the eyes. Solid yellow or an off-green see-through. Which one is meant to be stickered over? The only other MG kits I've put togethered had eye stickers and nothing else. Are the clear ones light piping?

>>5828329
For a fun effect, stick a silver decal (or silver/chrome paint) somewhere back behind the clear eyes (like what they did for the Turn A) to give it a bit more definition in those "better light conditions"
From what I just read on >>5826325 There's a similar option on the crest cameras concerning where you want to put those stickers.

>>5828404
Thanks.

2nd question for anyone. What are my options on articulated hands? The other 2 MG I've done had articulated hands, and the Full Armor Thunderbolt just has 3 different pre-posed ones.

>>5828475
I thought i saw powdered GM for a moment.

>1 teaspoon provides a 100% daily need of vitamin G and M.

>>5828500
Switch out which hands you want basically.

>>5828510

Well, I meant more in terms of if I could buy articulated hands somewhere and just slap them in the ball socket.

The Try Burning is kinda rubbish but its hands are great. Why doesn't every kit come with hands that can actually bend at the wrist? So many kits with rifles need it. Ironically only the holding hands on the Try Burning can't bend at the wrist. No chance of holding a bullpup rifle or bazooka.

>>5828521
Build knuckles exist

Are there any bootleg MG Banshee Norn yet? I really don't want to pay $120 for a slightly supped up Banshee. How the fuck is it going for over double the cost? Fuck Bandai, it makes no sense for a leading unit in the finale of Gundam Unicorn to be P-Bandai

Welp. I just fucked up the Thunderbolt MG. I used the wrong fucking plastic sleeves for the arms.

Anyone in the US ever have to pay for customs fees? Is it expensive?

>>5829029
Yes, it was the first time like I said and I learned a lot of lessons the hard way. Restarting several layers didn't feel like something I wanted to do. But it's something I'll keep in mind if I do it again.

>>5829041
Did you even test fit? Do you even think about what you're doing before you build?

>>5829051
The difficulty with pre-building it first was all the big ball joints and clear pieces all over, didn't want to pick it apart after painting. I did think a lot about I wanted to do, like the angle of of the camouflage, but that it would be difficult to make it all conform without putting it all together completely. But my thinking was that camouflage works by irregular shapes since nature doesn't do straight lines, so it would probably be fine not to pre-plan too much.

Just got a ultra sonic cleaner for free

Anybody have experience with these for gunpla?
Should I just fill it with plain old tap water?

I'm thinking of walking in like mister big dick and offering them money for it even though it's clearly not for sale

What would a reasonable offer be?

>>5829077

I worked at a store and we sold a few of them at 2 grand each brand new. We sold a used one that was a little sunbleached for about 800. That thing is rare

How long for primer to cure before I start putting down the base coat?

>>5829121

Depends what primer it is. I'm using Stynylnrez at the moment and normally leave it a day or more but that's only because I can normally only manage 30 minutes at the bench on any given day. But I've also painted over it within 10 minutes.

If in doubt with paints, 24 hours is normally a good time to shoot for.

>>5829132
Mr surfacer airbrushed. I dont have a large window to paint so I'm having to rush it all.

3, maybe 4 coats, and let dry for an hour is my plan.

>>5829140
By they way, for anyone who uses Mr surfacer 1000, what's your thinning ratio like?

>>5829075
Traditionally you can use soap and water for cleaning things well. And other various liquids used to weaken/strip acrylic paints like Windex or isopropyl alcohol mixed with water. Test yourself.

>>5829314

I've just decided that I might aswell just die with as many kits as possible. Though as I've actually run out of storage space I shall have to start building them. Too bad I only work on one model at once and take, on average, 6 months per model...

>>5829310
>>5829320
>5 new kits per week
>1 kit built every 6 months
>currently at 190 kits
With your current age and some math we could get a good estimate on how many kits you'll complete in your lifetime and how many will be in your backlog when you die. Could help with planning how much space you'll need to store it all

>>5829306
Worse.
Because I am now buying conversion kits before they become rare and even more expensive. Like PG Unicorn dress up kits.

>>5829333

5 kits last week was somewhat of an aberration. That's more normally a monthly figure. Though I haven't ordered anything this month (and I'm trying to keep it that way though the MK Zaku Tank is tempting). Last weeks delivery was an HLJ order.

They're not all gunpla (I would say that they make up somewhere around 40%) the rest are mostly 1/72 and 1/48 scale aircraft with some Sci-Fi stuff, tanks and a few busts and the like thrown in for good measure.

Newfag here, what problems would I face handpainting with acrylics in 80+ degrees Florida heat? My windows don't open so I can't paint inside the house. Also the guide said that matte finish spray fucks up if it's too humid and I don't even want to bother building kits if I can't give them a matte finish. Should I just quit and/or kill myself now?

>>5829368
Get a fume hood.

How did Bandai fuck up the MG GN-X so bad? Almost everything is nice and tight except the waist swivel and the hip joints. They literally sway in the wind, it's inconceivable.

>>5829552
Did you leave out a poly cap?

When looking into bending styrene I saw a method with using near-boiling water and submerging the piece there for a bit then bending around a circular object as needed. But trying to bend the styrene around a pen (very thin size, like .10/.20 or so) it undid the bend right after. Is there some tricked thing I'm missing? Do I need to hold it there over a long time with a clip?

>>5829559
A lot of the joints are ABS on ABS, including the waist swivel and hip joints.

>>5829368
Water based acrylics are safe to use indoors. Be sure they're water based and not something like Tamiya.
You can also matte finish something with hand painting. Vallejo, P3, etc are all wonderful water acrylics that go on pretty good but will require practice to perfect a good ratio of paint:thinner for your specific environment as well as putting on a solid layer of paint without brushstrokes.

Almost every brand of hobby water acrylics have their own Matte coats/tarnish/whatever that you can use. Alternatively the classic Future with Tamiya Flat base works.
My only concern for you would be where you would prime. I don't know of any good handbrush primers off the top of my head.

Also a Dehumidifier would be a great way for you to control the moisture level in whatever room you decide to paint in.

Well as reference I just used a small bowl of water and microwaved it for about a minute. What would be the right amount of time then? And I'm also partially thinking I didn't hold the part against the pen for long enough.

>>5829592
Just boil the water and let the plastic soak for a bit. Or get a food grade thermometer. And yea, hold it in place for a whole or just glue the ends together.

>>5829596
Sure, I'll just have to use trial and error until it's right.

The answer to this question is always "probably not", given the odds (billions of people in the world, either they agree or not).

You're worried about handpainting acrylics? Most acrylics are safe to drink! (Some contain pigments you don't want to ingest, make sure the can says "non toxic" before you start chugging.) Floor "wax" is a clear acrylic, and you're supposed to cover your entire fucking floor with that. Indoors. The glue will kill you dead long before the acrylics will have any effect on you whatsoever, and even with plastic cement the only precatiouns you really need to take is "don't intentionally huff it".

I'd tell you to off yourself to get the neurotic worrying out of the gene pool, but let's face it, you'd probably try to do it by skiping your vegetables for dinner and expect that to off you overnight.

For the spraying, high humidity will be an issue. Await suitable weather, test on something you don't care about before going over the model(s) you want to coat.

It softens the decals so they can fit to irregular or round surfaces and not look like ass
it is also advisable to use it on very big decals, such as the ones in the extra leg armors of the HWS hi nu for example

I assembled my first model kit, Wing Gundam Zero, after finding one at Wizard World Comic Con. I don't have a gundam marker or accessible paint, but even without the touchups it looks pretty damn nice.

They had more dynamic proportions and surface detail and some nice articulation for an sd, but they had big gaping hollow parts that outright obliterate detail instead of working around them, sub par part separation resulting in stickerfests, are outright allergic to clear parts even on kits that need it, and exclude any of the gundams gimmicks in favor of this crappy looking "combine random parts to form a clusterfuck weapon and give it to your hg" thing.

The line is just all around a disappointment compared to BB kits which are only a couple dollars more.

>>5831282
I did actually, but I dont like the fit and would rather build something else out from scratch

>>5831334
Are they replacing the BB line with them or are they just "the cheapest shit you can buy" line of gunpla next to the rest?

Bb and legend lines are continuing, it just looks like they went for an easy mold reuse on barbatos.

I'm hoping they make a BB rebake or a legends version of them. The fan customs look fantastic.

Is there another paint guide the website in the OP is down!

What's the difference between this general and the /m/ thread? Why does there need to be 2 generals for the exact same thing on 2 different boards?

>>5831563
>two different boards
there's your answer, faggot

>>5831235
real grade sinanju with color separated gold trim stuff soon.

The lack of rg 8th ms kits is suffering.

>>5831605
That is an absolutely stupid amount of stickers.

I thought you kids loved Ver Ka's.

Never said I didn't.

I've begun to accept some SD models, but yeah, I don't care much for the IBO designs and I'm sure a lot of people don't. The thing that they like is the frames, though.

>>5831270
the problem really is balancing the canon power levels of the weapons in gundam I think, or figuring out a way around that.

>>5831398
what would you like to know?

>>5831605
good god that completely ruins the awesome intimidating military look the EZ8 had.
and the pose is awful too

>>5831675
I'm not the one that made it, though its the closest thing i can find as an example of a possible rg EZ8. I'd prefer if they did it more like the RG MK II.

Found a great way to tighten up ABS on ABS peg (swivel) joints. Just put a piece of that rubbery electric tape over the end of the peg and push it in. Nice and tight. Of course, it's only been a day. Guess we'll see how long it lasts.

>>5831688
I'd rather they do 2.0s of the MG Ez8/ground type GM/gouf custom.

ikr. same deal with marvel and dc figures, fucking keep it in /co/. and muh waifu figure threads should be kept in /a/ as well.

Working on Grimgerde here, and about to paint the swords. I've got primer and silver paint, but what would it look like if I painted the silver straight onto the shiny gold plastic Bandai used for them?

Just made my first Gunpla ever, just chose the cheapest one from Barnes&Noble down the street for $15.. I know I could've gotten a cheaper one online but I didn't feel like waiting on shipping for a hobby I don't know if I'd enjoy, but I did!

Can't read moonspeak but the box says it's a Kimaris or something... Anyways, I haven't sanded any nibs yet, or painted or anything, but I was wondering if anyone here has any custom paints for this guy to give me an idea for my first paint job.. I have some craft paints [spoiler]gf works in Michaels so 5-finger discount[/spoiler] and like one or two enamel colors...and I'm using only an x-acto knife to cut shit

Anyways, feedback would be enjoyed :) maybe what model I should move on to next? I kinda either wanted to do HG Grimgerde or RG MSN-06S Sinanju [spoiler]he's expensive but I think he's pretty!

>>5831926
>feedback would be enjoyed

you didnt do anything though

>>5831926
Good job! Anymore pictures?

>>5831926
Get a hobby knife and some high-grit sandpaper (Like 1000 grit) and remove those nubs before anything else.

Give the guide a read through or at least skim it.

You can use kraft paints for small detail touch ups, but if you plan to paint larger areas get a hobby paint of some sort. They are finer and have more vibrant colors.

>>5831698
That tacky electric tape is literally Satan's design.
It should work alright though. At worst, you'll end up with a load of sticky residue when you try to remove the joint.

Well... maybe not feedback as in critique on the job I did, but more feedback as in, like I guess, where should I go? Did I chose a bad model and should be looking forward to much better gundams? or is this a good quality HG and some others I might chose could be much worse than this
>>5831939
Yeah, one more, same pose on mine, but my girlfriend made one too and added the lance to hers, which makes it not want to stand up very well! nor does his arm want to be in any position other than on his side because of it's weight, but I got it to stay for a moment just for a photo
>>5831943
yeah, I was gonna get the nubs before anything, I've read up on tutorials and videos on youtube and whatnot before even buying, my local card shop has some Citadel paints that they told me were really good for models, it's just a lot of the models on the guides, I don't really like... like I said, Grimgerde, Sinanju or Wing Gundam (MG) are what I wanna do, but no one really recommends them from what I've seen

>>5831953
whoa that image size, I'm super sorry guys I'll work on that on any future images I post... They're coming straight from my android

>>5831633
I like a bunch of the IBO designs, it's like almost half Gyoubu's work and Gyoubu is awesome

>>5831953
Check out dalong.net for gunpla you may want to build. OLD category is probably something you want to avoid unless you really want to jump into it

>>5831767
That's cool, I prefer 1/144

>>5831959
Found a couple I liked, thanks!

Providence, Nix Providence, Stargazer, Gaplant TR-5, etc
