Any other Shinkifags into the Candy Meteor kits? I managed to find this after scouring 2 mandarake stores while I was in Japan a few years back. Easily my favorite.

Asking in this thread just to be safe. Anyone have that pictures of the three Materias on that Tamashii trident stage?

if that bulk fag runner thing is happening, I'd definitely want some innocentia chest pieces

Varying degrees of 'done with this' from Fuchsia.

>>5949905
Yeah, I can definitely see people wanting multiples of her chest plate. And ears. And smugface. Probably her shoulders too.

Innocentia does seem the one to wait for, but that means holding off for another several months. I suppose people have already waited years though; I'll call it time to get my shit together and form a plan.

My local anime goods/toys/kit store will help me preorder, I'm getting 3 Innocentia myself and lurking other local stores to grab more as they show up.

>>5950065
Gentlemen, this man is ACTUALLY going to build a catgirl army. How many are you shooting for? I stopped at two; one to fuck up and one to assemble properly after learning from the first.

>>5950095
I don't think I'll have a limit to how many I can get. Ordering 3, plus whatever I can manage to afford.

Gonna basically take up the rest of my /toy/ budget not devoted to other things.

>>5950265
As of yet nothing; I'm basically still in the brainstorming stage as to how things might work. I don't really want to make a ton of different orders either so at this point it looks like I'm waiting for Innocentia to come out so I can get regular and smug faces along with a few runners containing the new shoulder design, chest plate and whatnot too.

Does anyone here spray clearcoat onto their shinki parts with (non-face, non PVCish ones) to protect the tampo prints/decals/details that might chip easily? Some of the details on shinki bodies are obviously sprayed on via stencils/templates.

I lacquered my original Lirbiete's chestplate because the local climate was bad for her paint coat.

Clear nail polish seems to work well for my purposes, the paint they used for MMS3 chestplates tends to get sticky when it mixes with Mr Ultra Clear.

>>5950335
I wonder if the chestplates would play nice with Krylon clear gloss/matte sprays?

>>5950341

Swapped my order to them early this morning. I don't t currently have anything to combine the order with that month or after, but knowing me I well might.

Did anyone want more sylphies?

They're cute, but I don't really want all six and no one seems to sell them individually.

>>5951582
You could always buy six, keep the one or two you want and sell the other four for like 12 bucks a piece. Someone did that in the BST a while ago.

>>5951584
Problem is he has to open them to find out which ones are which.

>>5952078
No one really cares. The 6 in the BST were gone in minutes.

Amiami still has some left. Not the ideal solution, but a workable one. I think I saw someone earlier ordering on NY too; I'm sure you can still find one or two somewhere.

>>5952870

Looking again HLJ does too, actually, and with their cancellation policy there's zero reason not to order the max then just cancel the ones you don't want before the ship date.

I wonder if they'll have more for sale after release date.

Can anyone confirm/fix?

Meanwhile: anyone know if schmetterling will match well with "red gym clothes body"?

>>5953957
I just clicked it, works fine. She's ver.2, red sports body is 1.

>>5953974
Huh. Odd. I had to copy it due to mobile nonsense. But should have worked.

Anyways.
How jarring of a difference is that?
What might a better option be?

Materia is getting a brown skin option. It's still hardly a tan, but I'm glad I waited on getting her, because I'm definitely getting that version.

>>5954021

Alright, given that I:

is $40 fair for a loose strarf with only the spare hands/hair? I don't see myself getting into the line past her.

Muscuto's put up a new sale.

I'll get around to posting it once I've got everything organized since it's quite a doozy this time. As usual, read the guide before asking questions.

Tell me about Muscuto kits, I understand they're unique garage kits, but how interchangeable are they with shinkis/FAGs and does he only ever do lewd stuff?

>>5955883
Not very interchangeable at all other than being in similar size/scale.

They do have a single 3mm port in the back for the stand though that could be used for other things.

>>5955879
And I just got paid. Awesome.

Another ask about [resin kits in general]

I've often heard that resin kits need sanding and resin sanding makes DEATH DUST for breathing.

But muscatos stuff generally looks real damn smooth already and the guide doesn't mention sanding/anything more than some careful nipping and shaving.. at least not in the first half.

And I don't have the setup to fend off toxic materials in my hobby space

So complicated models don't really scare me. Sanding and breathing DEATH DUST does scare me.

Are Muscatos kits appropriate for me?

>>5955951
Buy a respirator, wetsand, and clean up your work area with a damp cloth afterwards.

If you can do those, you can work with resin.

>>5949509
>most you've spent on a shinki
That desert warfare murmur is very very tempting.

>>5955951

To summarize:
New ICE Breaker colorway - Fang Banshee
Finished (!) face parts on sale now for all colorways
Finished (!) mystery parts now for sale. Presumably the R18 versions of the crotch and boob plates that were previously "all ageified" last release.

Prices are in the document.

>>5956022
No problem, I just wanted to share something I thought you guys might like.

>>5956034
other than for the cutting the pegs off, not all that much. I mean, it'd look much better if you sand down the mold lines for sure, though. Regardless, this shouldn't produce so much resin dust that you die on it immediately. Maybe cut a couple years off your life at most.

>>5955975
I'd say it's a bit harder than 40k models just cause some of the parts are so damn tiny. Older Infinity models with the tiny, fragile antenna bits come to mind.

Being really apathetic towards toy collecting is really starting to be a problem.

Prices are dropping lately. I've seen Dengeki Achs going for 10k or lower.

You just need to know how to find them on Mandarake.

>>5958101

It's more than just the price, it's that I I don't know how much I'll enjoy them. I've had a pair before, Lancamento and Espadia, and after I put the robot together I just didn't do anything with them aside from the occasional equipping them with their armours or making the beetles.

Even something relatively cheap, like Eukrante that I see at 3.5k a lot of the time, I still look at that and see, "3.5k plus whatever the shipping is for something I don't even know if I'd still like in a few weeks".

Baselard talk, what do you think about the lower torso/hip section engineering?

Yes, I think it's for the best, there was a decent Picco Neemo thread some time ago, but the last one was just too dead. And the clothes talk applies to Shinkis and FAGirls just as much.

I passed on that because the hat was D sized, but it doesn't look TOO bad. Personally, I'm super hyped for the new military set. Too bad there's so much coming out this month that I really should only get one.

So, I managed to get that decal sheet scanned at 1800 dpi. Too big to share over 4chan, but here's a 300 dpi version for anyone who wants to print anything out.

>>5963311
Think you can put a file that big on imgur or would this work fine if I took it to a printing place?

It's occured to me that with the green background, this won't be much use to anyone printed out. I'm going to take a couple days and try to throw something together with a proper alpha channel and good colors that you guys can use for good decal reproduction.

Thank you to those who emailed me, but it won't be necessary. I've dusted off my old mediafire account and should be able to share the files that way. tinyurl extensions to follow:

zxz43ks : 600 dpi gray background image, for use at, say, a kinkos.
h53zfr6 : 600 dpi transparent png for use in a decal printer that can do white ink. I think. I don't know how high of a resolution those machines can print at, so this file might be useless.
zpyg8da : 300 dpi transparent background png, should be printable in any decal printer if the above file is too big.
h9ejykb : 300 dpi gray background png. Any laserjet can print this.

Anyone getting these for a FAG room? The single vague '330 mm' measurement has me a bit confused. Is that two of the squares end to end, so one square would be ~165 mm squared? Which means a Detolf would be able to fit a 4x4x4 room of them almost exactly, right?

If you're used to building plamo, sure. She may be a little overwhelming for a first timer. She easily has more runners than any of my other FA:Gs. You do have the option of just building the base figure and then saving the heavy armor bits for later.

Honestly, the pictures in the manual are pretty straightforward, so it's not really hard. Read the gunpla guide. All of it. It eased my fears a lot and gave awesome tips when I built my first one.

My advice:
>don't rush
>do the steps in order
>if you're not great at painting, she will look fine without painting - just maybe a little bland. I was pleasantly surprised her cheeks already had a light blush.

>>5964829
depends on if you have an airbrush or not. Hr. Hobby Super Clear tends to be very popular with Gunpla enthusiasts because of consistent, high quality results, but it can be rather expensive. If you have an airbrush, your best route might be some of testors lacquer topcoats. They're fairly affordable and offer good results. Pic included for an example of how the matte finish looks.

>>5964873
I don't have an air brush yet, so hobby clear will be my choice. It won't harm the plastic at all, right?

>>5964915
nope, it's fine to go on bare plastic.

>>5964873
Different anon, but I heard that lacquers can really mess up ABS plastic. Is that not actually the case? I've been putting off doing an actual top coat for fear of ruining her.

>>5964995
Lacquers from cans, particularly topcoats tend to react differently with plastics due to how quickly they set. I can't speak for lacquer spray colours, but I've used lacquer topcoats for years with no ill effect.

>>5964995
Thinner used in paint will make the plastic brittle so that it cracks easily, in cases it becomes so brittle that it just crumbles to pieces. That's why you need to use primer before painting.

So yeah just use Mr Hobby topcoats, you can spray those onto the plastic directly.

Probably a good idea to wash first though since Kotobukiya kits are pretty bad with residue.

>>5964873
>Mr. Hobby Super Clear

But it's lacquer-based topcoat, and will eat enamels and everything not lacquer.

>>5965054
You tried it before yourself or you're just regurgitating?

>>5965150
if it eats plastics, I guess I've been lucky for the last 7 fucking years. I've never had it or any other lacquer based spray varnish eat my kits or any other paints. if it was an airbrush lacquer paint and had an extended drying time, it'd be a different story though. The fact the topcoat dries within a minute or less and cures very quickly keeps it from aggressively reacting with most kits. The big one to watch out for is usually enamels like humbrol without proper priming, that stuff can cause some nasty reactions with kits.

>>5965154

About the same, you'll be fine. If you're really paranoid though, just topcoat initially with an acrylic based gloss varnish or the like. Over my years of model work I've never had an issue, but YMMV.

What's a good place to buy 1/12 scale furniture, weapons, etc? Is HLJ the best place?

>>5965652
HLJ has alot of options, they seem to cater to it moreso than some of the others, but amiami, hobbysearch and others all carry small assembly kits that are either expressly 1/12 or fit into that scale nicely.

You can also try western sources like Etsy and Ebay for dollhouse and model supplies. 1/12 and 1" scale items fit nicely with Shinki and FA;Gs.

>>5965190

>>5965652

>>5963955
Maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems that for almost all hobby decal printing, it's going to be a massive pain in the rump. If you don't use a white backed paper you can't "print" white decals and the backing color bleeds through colored decals. But if you use a white decal then you lose the flexibility of being able to trim around the proximity of the image and have to be extremely accurate. So then if you bring clear decal paper to kinkos can they print white on it to get the right colors? As far as I know, commercial decals use a sort of silk-screen process.

>>5967098
"massive pain in the rump" is a pretty big overstatement. Worst case scenario, just avoid white. Best case, as with eyes, just paint a bit of white under where the decal's going to go.

>>5967064

Oh of course I have a tripod, could never take shots with a Sigma lens without any kind of stab otherwise. It's just a pain taking it out every time when I feel like taking a random shot.

>Sigma
When I hear sigma, I think of my retarded Sigma 135-400mm abomination.

Oh boy I had an EOS 300D which looked remarkably similar to the model here (likely one of the Rebels as well).

But speaking of the lens, oh god. I just have an ordinary 60mm E-mount Sigma. Kinda wish that I could bring it closer to shinks but well, making do somehow.

Controlling lighting is pretty important for getting the shot you want. With higher ISO you introduce more grain into the image so keeping that low is generally a good thing. Also if you want to take pictures of your toys with a high depth of field, you need a lot of light or more exposure time so you can stop down to like f/22 (greater depth of field). Higher f-stops (lower numbers) tend to give a shorter depth of field as does shooting close to the subject.

If people are discussing ISO, aperture, and shutter speed, I'd assume they have a grasp of how all those factors interact with composing a proper picture.

That's not true at all, a lot of people make the mistake of letting their environment control the shot and thus think about F-stop and ISO in terms of lighting and exposure while forgetting those things will affect how your photo draws attention. Sure you can understand those concepts, but if you have a nice camera and no proper way to light things, you're just shooting yourself in the foot.

And the road trip begins!

Last month I managed to get some handmade miniatures relatively cheaply from a random street stall. Got two plates of food and a tiny smartphone.

The phone's labels were peeling just a bit, so I had to cement them down with a little clear nail polish, which also helped the gloss finish.

Question for any owners of both FA girls and Figma's
while reading a blog showing them building their first Materia they mentioned this:
>Clever! They basically kept the Figma, Busou Shinki, Nendo, gunpla & etc faceplate patent while keeping things nice and light

Does this that [with maybe some modding] you could theoretically use a Figma faceplate on an FA girl?

With some modding, you can fit anything on anything, anon. But I don't think that's what that blogger meant. More than likely they were just trying to talk about how the faces are swappable like figma/nendos are and just went slightly too verbose with it.
