>>5899128
There's a few slowpokes out there who haven't got theirs yet. It would really suck to have to wait for the reissue.

Todays delivery :P
MMS type Hunter Blood Barret BB resin kit.
I already have a recast of this in its original red and white, but when an original popped up on mandarake I couldnt resist.
Was surprised to see that not only is it in variant colours (black and pink instead of red and white) But it comes with a whole new set of weapons too.
new weapons are a pair of beartrap weapons, (think katar x beartrap)
a pair of hunting knives
a pair of 4 barrel handguns
and a gatling tail for the wolf
I woulda been happy with just another regular red version, ecstatic with this.

Is this supposed to be a catgirl?

To the anon collecting Werkstra. Ebay has one for like $97 plush shipping.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/131930244619

>>5898898
Saw it, didn't care for it, saw more of it, wanted it, but would still prefer different colors. Bah.

>>5899494
It's supposed to be in my shopping cart is what it's supposed to be.

>>5899667


the koto web shop has a different color, sort of

I'd assume you'd have to get it through a proxy or auction though, as I think their web shop only sells to japan

I also am not too fond of this particular design. I'm waiting on the rest of the pictures to decide. The body is fine, I suppose, but I've never really been a fan of the hresvelgr.

>>5899682
I've had a forwarder set up for ages so that's no problem, but they really didn't change anything significant for the coloring. Pink hair does not go with those shades of purple and while the colorless clear parts are less offensive than the aquamarine ones on the original I still don't really like them. I'll probably have plenty of time. E to think on it though, so whatever.

>That price

Though her armaments seem quite complex so I'm not too fussed. Glad to see them finally implementing different hairstyles, kinda tired with the currently released ones all looking the same from the front, aside from Materia of course.

>>5899744
She's not mine, just pulled the first one off twitter at the time. Jeez, I thought japs knew how to paint.

>>5900387

Theres also some pretty bad nubs left over too, otherwise the grainy photo makes it look somewhat decent, paint wise.

This is so uninspired. Resculpting everything for surface detail et. al is gonna be hell, see all those clothing seams and stitches on the suit?

Generally, I don't like the Decepticon-esque colors that's default to the design. I'll wait for a recolor, I guess.

The Shinki 10-year anniversary inspired me to make two comics today.

Even though it's past midnight, so technically, I missed it.

>>5900444
I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw the belly vagina.

I'm not gonna lie, the latest fag looks like a clusterfuck

at least you can stick different shit onto it to make it look better

>>5900409
>-Set includes "MB42R flying base R".
at least it comes with a action base

>>5900461
I kind of like clusterfucks. It means a ton you can do with them. It also means a ton of assembly though, holy shit.

>>5900498
Whoops, missed.
>>5900484

Nothing wrong with a good old fashioned belly button though.

>>5900371
Probably because it's the first non-fumikane FA:G.

>>5900484
You seen the kit she's based off? Some straight up "macross"/ "transformer" territory. She's closer to "Otomedius"

Yeah, the Hresvelgr is probably the most clusterfuck kits in the Frame Arms line in general.

>>5900518

yeah, I've got both versions, just for the extra parts.

that being said, ive seen my share of sleek vf's and I wouldn't consider vic viper to exactly be a clusterfuck either

if you are referring to the mode where she appears to be riding the frame rather than wearing it as an exoskeleton, then I can understand where your coming from

Serpent Noir is 70,000 KRW
Original Ice Cracker is 56,000 KRW
Sand Sakura is 80,000 KRW

All three come with some new parts he's added to the kits.

Orders are being taken until the 15th in Korea.

>>5901536
Sand Sakura costed like 109 with EMS shipping to the US. Not bad all things considered.

>>5901559

why get sand sakura over serpent noir?

afaik tell its just color preference, and perhaps a pre-applied decal face?

they seem almost identical to me

>>5901560
I think another difference between the two is that sand sakura comes with cat ears

>>5901560

May want to check the guide in the OP. It's been updated with instructions on how to order and stuff.

>>5901615

i ordered noir yesterday.

also. I'm assuming its fine to paint colored resin?

I've never worked with that material before, just gunpla

>>5901623
It's fine, yeah. You're still going to want to prime it though.

>>5901623
Other than being brittle and possibly toxic to you, there isn't much that's different from building a gunpla kit with this one. Just handle it gingerly and you should be fine.

Really, you likely won't have to fill in airbubbles or anything that's usually the case for resin kits either, cause Muscuto's casts are top-notch. I have legitimately never seen a resin kit of this high quality before his ICE Cracker. Even the best ones that I saw from WF had small irregularities like flashing and airbubbles that I had to fill in. My first Muscuto kit, none of that.

>>5901397
This is fucking amazing

>>5901536
>>5901559
And it was 240 shipped for one of all three. 80 bucks apiece is MORE than reasonable for those things.

Does anyone know if it's possible to order individual parts for FAGs?

>>5901699
You can use that form that comes with them to buy additional runners (japan onry.)

>>5901704

I have a few fags but I havent even opened them yet. this is good to know

>>5901559

given that hes only learned of the internet last week, i'd say hes doing pretty well

>>5900449
Fuck yeah, Sirbine

It's my favorite Damashii. So beautiful

Sooo, once upon a time, when Busou Shinkis were plentiful and (relatively) inexpensive, I bought Vespelio. Later, when the newer bodies were released, and the bicep and thigh washers were optional, I saw it and said "Hey, that's cool." and I modded my Vespelio to be similar.

Fast forward to the present day. Vespelio's been in a zipper bag, tucked away in a box for a good while now, and I have no real interest in displaying her.

I know what I've done has more or less killed any resale value she once had, which I've found to be, low end, around $100. Would $50 be a reasonable amount to ask?

>>5902674
She goes for up to 5-7k at Mandy.

She's nothing special nor is she in demand anymore.

Still a fun figure.

>>5902688
Ah, gotcha.

Yeah, admittedly, I'm long out of touch with Shinki related stuff. I've seen there are model kits in the works, but that's on account that I'm into Gunpla and Koto stuff.

>>5902674
>>5902694

>>5906408
What'd I do wrong with the lining, if I might ask?

>>5906413
The thin lines like those on Materia and Gourai's shoulders look good. Might just be the angle but some lines don't appear too well or lacks consistency with other lines; Gourai's left arm looks thick and the right leg doesn't show well.

>>5906402
Also, I guess if anyone's interested, I'd sell these two for $35 shipped. That's less than half their combined MSRP, I believe.

holy shit they really pimped up the base- uh.. Frame, huh?

>>5906780
Hey, people were free to post their email if they were interested in them on here. I've done plenty of sales that went that way before.

>>5906783
The mechanical part? Yeah. It's going. To be a pain to assemble but so much fun to play with. Glad they tried using some, uh, older stock for the human portion for a change.

>>5906832
Here's the plan; we put together the girl.

>>5906864
And ignore the mechanical bits? You must be mad. I'll probably do the girl first and then the robutt in bits and pieces afterward so as to not drive myself mad though.

>>5906920
>And ignore the mechanical bits?
Yes? just pretend it's a light armor third party shinki and call it a day, put together the mecha bits when you feel like she needs the third party STA-AP.

Well that part's gorgeous as well, but I was referring to the improvements in the girls' body sculpt

Baselard's a step in the right direction but this seems leaps ahead

>>5906922
That's basically what I said.

>>5906935
Oh, that. Sorry, but when you use "pimped" in that context I normally expect rhinestones and spinners.

Yeah, the sculpt is nice, but I find myself noticing that the joints look less jointy, as far as that makes sense.

As far as what you mentioned though, they dropped lots--well, all-- of the torso armor which makes them look less chunky and more organic. It's a big change but not necessarily a bad one, though I did like Stylet. A bit more angle to her chest armor and she'd be even better.

>>5906779
It's a micromachine.

For anyone who ordered from Muscuto, just thought I'd tell you that a Korean holiday is coming up and it's wreaking havoc on mail there. Just expect some delays.

I'm working on a section on how to magnetize the parts for more convenient partswapping. Ran out of magnets however, so I'll have to finish it when new ones come in.

Pic related is a sneak peek.

>>5907060
I asked by email when he was going to ship, sadly no reply. Having some info on the matter would be awesome.

>>5907718
You are doing the Gods' work anon.
I guess this works with cat and serpent, since they are basically the same figure?

>>5907718
What magnets size are you going to use?

>>5907960
I've been using 2mm for most of it other than a few parts like the back piece which is 1mm.

Really though, anything is fine as long as it fits.

>>5907958

He seems to be busy because of the holiday shipping issues, and well the holiday itself too, but I asked on the cafe for you.

He's been shipping any orders from within korea first, so we'll probably see everything that's going out of the country shipped at the same time sometime after.

Also, seems there was an earthquake yesterday in korea, so that might cause some delays too.

>>5907958
And yes, magnetization works with all colorways of ICE Cracker. There's a slight difference between the helmeted head and non helmeted one however.

>>5907970
Scratch yesterday, seems it hit a few hours ago and very close to Muscuto.

Should be fine though.

>>5907970
Just got a reply that he's planning on starting to ship international orders tomorrow. So soon.

New face in the works from Muscuto.

>>5909749
so cute

Guys, word of warning about the decals in Muscuto's kit. Don't use mark softer or any kind of decal softener on them. You WILL destroy them.

They're a lot weaker than what I'm used to from Kotobukiya, in any case.

>>5907718
Do you need that many magnets just for one kit? I only ordered 25 2mm ones.

>>5909811
Thanks for posting this, I was planning on using that.
>>5909749
This face doesn't come with this batch right?

>>5909908
I counted at least 14 2mms in my kit. And 2 1mms.

>>5909921
I should probably order a few 1mm magnets too then.
>>5909811
Is Mr. Mark Setter okay to use or will that damage them too.

>>5909918
It comes with Sand Sakura, at the very least. It's the unfinished face in that set. The terrified/embarrassed one is fully done out of the bag.

>>5909926
Wait, my mistake.

Yeah, no, that's a new face he just posted on the cafe. Not included with the recent release of Serpent Noir. He'll probably sell it stand alone later.

>>5909923
Mark Setter should be fine. It doesn't react with the decal in any way, in any case. It just makes the back side stickier for the decal to hold on to.

>>5909923
The 1mm is just for the back plate. If you don't plan on using the included wire stand, you don't need it. Unless you're planning on making the cat ears removable or something.

>>5909933
Scratch that, don't even use mark setter. It just makes it more difficult for a decal this delicate. In fact, if you need to fix a wrinkle or something, just dab it with a q-tip and some water, but not too much, because too much water will damage the decal too.

I'm really glad he included 3 sets of decals in my order from way back. I just burned through 2 of them.

I would like to buy this but it seems like a GK. I was looking at the listing on Amiami and it says that it "comes unpainted" and I contacted their support and they confirmed that it requires painting. However, looking at the photos of the frames on 1999 it seems like it's fairly coloured. Will it look awful if I just assemble it without painting and be a waste of time? Or will it still look fine? I'm sorry if this should be obvious, I haven't purchased any figures which require assembly or painting before.

I asked /a/ and a guy told me to check this place out, some nice figures here. He also said I should be able to get away without painting. I actually used to paint warhammer models, but I haven't in a few years and my paints have dried up.

>>5901882
Do all of these models require this much effort?

>>5899744
Is this another frame arms character, just painted?

>>5910815
They're premolded in color, but not all the details or any of the color gradients shown in the promotional photos. If you've ever built or seen gundam kits before, they're about similar to that.

The blue one linked is a painted frame arms girl stylet. The other one is a resin color garage kit which takes a lot more effort to get done than a typical plastic model kit does.

Have you considered lurking more or reading any guides in the OPs of various threads on this board? Particularly the gunpla guide and the ones in this thread.

>>5910817
Alright, thank you. I'll take a look at those, I have a bad habit of not as I'm sure alot of people do. Thanks for tolerating that.

Where did you find 2,5x2mm? I never heard of such measurement.

>>5911666
exactly what >>5911757 said.
They're made of 3mm acrylic.
I have a laser cutter for my business and get to mess about making shinki things too.
The arms are from SH Figuarts stands and have a 3mm connector on one end. However they can also be fitted with a claw of holding too.
They're too small for 1/100 kits, but would be fine for 1/144 robutts and 1/12 figures.
One like in the pic will run you about $20 when I get around to listing them.

>>5911998
they'll be fine

Just finished writing the magnetizing guide.

I'm not going to bother with a published doc, it's just too much of a headache. So back to the old doc:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yztsKaMvP_hxPKgOJS9mqKRLaqsxJ40pXF3NJTE1ODY/edit#heading=h.bpdhdjq5zz2x

>>5911998
Sorry, seems I made a mistake earlier. I was using 2.5mm magnets. Really it should be fine either way when it comes to fitting, but that .5mm really makes a difference when it comes to magnet strength. I ordered 50 2mm magnets assuming they'd be fine, but they were quite a bit weaker than the ones I'd already had in.

The doc now has links to K&J Magnets, who has the size that I'd like.

>>5911998
Looking at the N rating of those and the ones I got:
https://supermagnetman.com/collections/neodymium/products/d1002?variant=11410255683

It looks like yours are even weaker than the ones I had. You might want to cancel that order and get the ones from K&J linked in the document.

>>5912048
If you really want to get to specifics, the ones I had been using before til I ran out just now are these from HiQ parts:

http://www.hiqparts.com/product/468

Hobbysearch sells them here:
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10144817

It's either EMS to the tune of 5200jpy or SAL parcel for 4400 for my order. I don't know if not having the expansion kit would have let it slide in under RSAL, but I kind of doubt it considering how bulky model kit boxes usually are.

>also, she has the innocent/ditzy look

Isn't that the point? Gourai is a tank, Stylet is a jet, and Architect is some sort of construction unit. The Materia are civilians, so they're not supposed to look serious or mean. They're supposed to look happy.

>>5915181
Wasn't one of the new materia we've gotten images of a catgirl too? I want it now.

>>5915252
Yes, but she's still in concept-art phase. It'll be a while before you get her.

>>5914914
>$75
Lucky you. Mine totaled out at $83 with EMS. Do I need to email Hobby Search to get my shipping bumped down to RSAL? Because I can't find a place on my page to do that.

>>5915503
I know, and that kills me a little inside. Oh well, what can you do?

>>5915607
Buy Materia and glue cat ears on her?

>>5914876
God dammit. The past three months my order has been held up by Picco Neemo clothes and every month I say never again, but I buy more of them anyway.

>>5914949
be warned that those feets are less "high heels" and more "tiptoe-pointed thrusters". don't have any illusions about making something stand on them without aid, be it a proper stand or the mini-stand clear bits included to put in them.
then again, if they're not going to end up as "feet" I guess it's irrelevant.

>>5915621
That's silly. You're silly. I'm taking my consumerism and going home.

2chan thread for gigantic arms is up.

Of particular note are the decals and blank head that comes with the full set...

Why wont they just sell us blank faces now that they have the mold? Seems like easy money to me.

>>5915933
You can probably order replacement parts in japan.

>>5915933
>>5915944
That's my biggest gripe. Too much of the accessories and blanks stay Japan only.

>>5915512
>>5915512
So after looking I don't think I can change my shipping. Looks like I'm eating this 80 bucks for rabbit girl

>>5915949
Japs hate the west enough that they are more than happy to make less money so long as it means not bothering with gaijins. There'sobviously a point where the lost money balances out the hate, which is why amiami takes overseas orders, but that's a good rule of thumb.

[spoiler]off topic, but that's why Valkyria Chronicles started sucking after the first. They ignored the overseas success and instead tried to make it sell better in Japan by pandering to otakus' famously shit taste.[/spoiler]

Any update on masucato? From any other anons? I'm afraid that he's ill or something like that

>>5915971
Two nukes and they whine about it forever sheesh

>>5915933

Someone needs to bootleg this on one of the 3d printing sites.

>>5916044

If we'd only nuked them once I could have gotten my exclusive FAG parts. If only we'd known.

>>5916034
>masucato
If you meant Muscuto, yep, he have gone completely quiet while I still wait a reply from him.

This might be the cleanest resin I've seen.

>>5916089
San Francisco.

>>5916092
Dang that looks great.

>>5916092
>>5916081

Noice. I should have gotten mine today too but I missed the mail man. Going to have to go pick it up tomorrow morning.

Korean holiday. Everyone on the peninsula is busy as fuck making awesome food and spending time with their families during it.

>>5916092
Is the inside of her mouth colored resin?

>>5916139
What holiday is it? I'm interested what they do on that day

>>5916152

>>5916142
It's white. So that's one thing you will need to paint.

>>5916081
>>5916092

Mind posting a picture of everything laid out?

>>5916160
Are the fang teeth attached to the face or the mouth?

>>5916174

Not sure, that's why I'm asking to see all the parts laid out.

The teeth are attached to the mouth piece.

Just linking this thread >>5824269

>>5916210
Neat. Doesn't seem too difficult to paint in any case.

>>5916208
So much hyped to get mine

>>5916210
My god that's an amazing level of detail.

Tip: Leave the mouths on the gates til you've finished painting the mouth and decaling and clear coating the eyes and face. Glue it in after assembling it by letting glue flow into the cracks from behind.

>>5899106
what the fuck is a flesberk.

>>5916563
I'm assuming it's a mistransliterizaion of フレズヴェルク(Hresvelgr) the name of the recently up for preorder Frame Arm Girl.

>>5916565

>forearm and cuff is a single piece

Is it me or is baselard a more petite build compared to the gourai reference body releases?

>>5916563

Fleswerk was the name of the white and blue recolor of Hresvelgr.

>>5916966
no it wasn't. that was "hraesvelgr atel"
