It's that time of year again. Just look at the form and fill it out. Signups last until December 1st, pairs go out in the days after that.

A few things:
-Use an active email, I don't want to be hounding you and then have to repair someone.
-Use your full address, I don't know every damn city and zip code in the US.


A new option, Cards Only. If you pick this you're assumed to be willing to ship international (it's a card after all). It doesn't have to be a handmade card, just something nice. Of course handmade is nicest, but not everyone has the skills for it.

I guess you could? Though honestly, there are HGs that are so cheap (like, not much more than an AK) that you might as well just try one of those instead. Read the guide (in OP post), never paint right out of the pot, thin your paints. Handbrushing is harder than rattlecanning. Good luck.

Has anyone here bought anything from this site before? It's at http://www.bandaionline.com/

The url is suspicious as fuck, but i can't find any evidence of a scam. Just several people asking the same question that i am.

It has a paypal option for payment, so that's probably a good sign.

So do you think it's legit? I hope so, i already bought the two p-bandai graze.

I'll say. The t3 suits are incredible.

This is the green version i was talking about. It actually says 1/144 High Grade in the upper left block of text.

Is it a resin kit or a mislabeled no grade or something? The L shaped shoulder armor looks like a different piece than the one used in the standard HG hi-zack.

Aside from the gaplant and the hazels, what other t3 suits got HG kits?

Look at this thing, it has three pairs of arms, and one of those appears to be from a zeong.

Are the shoulders and thrusters from anything or are they unique to this suit?

That pictured suit should be feasible if you grab the Eyezack kit and modify it a bit. Paint as well.

>>6012817
No, I've only recently become interested in the anime. I've been building gunpla on and off for years though.

Hey can anyone tell me how big the HG zeong's arms are? Could they be used in place of the psyco gundam arms used here: >>6012786 ?

>>6012836
They originally retailed for like $5-$8 depending on where you got them (Unless it was a large or limited special release). Because they've been discontinued their price is starting to inflate.

>>6012852
Sure, if you want a suit with arms as big as it. Good luck spending all that money for that.

>>6010844
In no order...
Beni-Shiki, Zaku Sniper Palt., GM Striker, HiMo Ground Graze, maybe G-Bouncer Ground.

Similar but these are actually itty bitty model kits, not just action figures. I beleive it seems the details and sculpts are improved, but they do suffer from the issue of needing some clean up work as models. You also got to applyu stickers to them and the worst part imo from reading reviews is the lack of stands. Hell they even lack any holes to plug a stand into like say a preexisting assault kingdom stand or similar.

>>6012836
>>6012863
The successor line is called Universal Unit, so I suggest keeping an eye on that line for stuff you want. I personally really need to grab volume 2 cause it has Hygoog and the extra purchase standalone figure for line 2 is also a Z'GokE

I just bought a hg zeong at a 25% discount so I'm pretty happy. It was around $20 in USD i think.

There's an MG perfect zeong for $160 AUD at a local store that I've been dtaring at for months, if i like the hg zeong I'll probably buy the mg perfect.

As a first MG, how does the perfect zeong rate? I've got a ton of HGs already.

And of course i want a suit with arms as big as itself, how is that even a question fampai?

Less "transformation" more "split into two fighter craft"

>>6013991
It splits in two, whereas partsforming is having to disassemble the entire kit in order to reattach them into the alternate form.
Bawoo just does its split and minor transformations and off it goes again.
Which is why it is also best.

>>6013661
Fingers crossed bud.

>>6013254
I'm such a sucker for designs like this. Advance of Zeta and Sentinel Gundam have the best designs, hands down. I've had my eye on a Chinese plastic cast of the Deep Striker for a bit.

>>6014719
Yeah, the most frustrating part of P-Bandai is dealing with middleman fees. 3780 yen isn't that bad of a price for the kit, since it's exactly how much the MSRP+tax of a GM 2.0 is.

>>6014703
>>6014711
It's reusing the gm/rx-78's mg 2.0 runners. Those already had articulated fingers, just as individual pieces you needed to assemble rather than a single sonic welded piece.

>>6014712

It very distinctly looks like his last deployment was a six week stint inside a cow's rectum and he hasn't had time to get a wash yet.

Looks like it was half buried in the ground with a bunch of old junk piled on top and ten left out in the rain for a month or two.

What I'm saying is, go lighter on the weathering next time. "Less is more".

>>6015996
exactly what i was going for

>>6016003
it was more of a field test,sort of.i ended up trying more and more,resulting in an old rusty and in dirt covered mecha.but thanks for the advice

>>6016007
Don't make excuses for poor worksmanship. You asked for criticism, accept it and improve the next work.
Also, don't weather or paint without seam-welding first, at least in more obvious areas. And the crotchpiece on the GM looks way too clean in comparison to the rest of the model. As another anon said, "less is more". With that much rust and dirt the GM shouldn't be moving at all, it would make much more sense as an abandoned wreck in a diorama of some kind. The panel lining on the neck is also very messy, and it also looks like the paint you used needs to have been thinned on the shoulders.

>>6016017
Maybe he wanted to make it look like the model was fighting in the glorious defense of colony Cowpatty 5.

>>6015993
Because I love looking at solid color figures

What is that "petrol" they said to use, that comes up in Google Translate?

Do they really refer to lighter fluid for that?

>>6015355
I had an idea come up that wouldn't damage ABS like using those things would, similar to a tip on putting waterslides (but if you're afraid of messing up the paintjob from spraying gloss beforehand)

Run diluted(?) Future onto the general area where you want to run the wash, let it cure, and then you can use an acrylic-based wash in lieu of enamels. I'm guessing you can make wash by having a small amount of paint diluted in Future, or you can do it via a larger proportion of water and matte medium?

What do you guys think?

Are there any taobao stores that ship directly to the US that have the Dragon Momoko 1/60 Unicorn?

I'm gonna shill nippon-yasan for p-bandai again, note i'm not affiliated with them or any of that shit

these are the shipping prices for the MG GM-II (to australia)

The GM-II itself is 4350 yen where as bandai sell it for 3750

Anyone else built the RG Zaku II Char version? I am getting stuck on this step where you have to put the cuffs/wrists on and its like a little square piece with a square on the bottom, but the manual reads like it should click into the arm piece, but nothing happens. It just sits there loosely and I cant put the following piece in, so I juts have some shitty hand with no wrist there.

>>6016332
Thats around the shipping for everywhere.
Word of warning though: they do not know how to price shipping on larger items and will send an updated invoice for the difference if they short it.
Overall still one of the cheapest places to get P Bandai stuff for now; leagues ahead of GGinfinite and GentaiKits. With P-Bandai partnering up with certain middleman services that ship worldwide there may come a time where Nippon-Yasan may not be the cheapest.

On Hobby Search it's the Universal Cutter.

What I wanna know is: Are there any equivalent tools that do the same job? I was thinking of the Fiskars Job Boss scissors but they pretty much cost about 3x the price of this cutter. So do you guys think it might be a good buy for cutting pla-plates?

>>6017129
The size you're going for is a little small but to fabricate shapes like that by hand, generally,

>1st thing is to template the shape. Either draw on the plastic itself or print/paste a pattern there.
>Remove as much material using rough methods like cutting, leaving behind some buffer material
>Use slow material-removal methods like filing and sanding to remove the buffer material and achieve the shapes you want.

>>6017144
The box seal was resealed as well actually

Threadly reminder: "pla-plate" is the most superfluous word ever and using it makes you sound like an idiot to modelers (this includes gunpla modelers) who were alive before 1998.
The word is "styrene". An entirely new vocabulary for the exact same shit is not necessary just because you are building robots.
Next thing you idiots will be calling glue "pla-weld" and nippers "pla-snips".

>>6017145
>buffer material
>slow material removal

I am an idiot. No wonder I couldn't match the shapes up all the time, because I kept directly chopping and scoring on the outlines.

On another adventure of cutting plastic, I've been experimenting with cutting clear acetate sheets (hurray for 49 cents/sheet) for lenses and stuff. When I do score and cut them the edges are jagged, and they don't take well to being smoothened on the edges (also that flexing).

Tips? And no, my area has no sources of clear pla-plates.

>>6017153
Pla-plate is actually a trademarked name by Tamiya, but it sounds so generic it just caught on.

Styrene is a component of many different copolymers most of which aren't even used for modeling.

>>6017153
Modelers call it numerous different names actually. Pla plate is just a newer term because Tamiya sells it as a product called "Pla Plate" which caught on as a generic term the same way Kleenex did.

This is pretty much on point. I heard the story where he shafted a guy out of the top three only to have his entry take his place. There was also that cringy as fuck anime expo panel

>>6017417
They bumped like 7 people out a few days after the event and never made any effort to tell them, then had a public shitfit when one of them told them that was a shitty way to handle that.

They think, particularly Clem, that they are the public face of the hobby. It sucks because they put themselves out there and then blow up and act like douches.

They give a bad impression.

>>6017424
They also knew they were going to do that like as soon as they gave out the awards, as they cut the video feed of the event right at the awards phase so people wouldn't see what got bumped.

So, they didn't just try to tell people. they tried to make it hard to find out who the fuckup even involved at all.

He dab!

>>6017144
Have you got any other grazes to compare?

If you want i can describe the plastic in my ritter for you.

>>6017151
As in the external layer of plastic wrap? I was under the impression that it was added by the retailer. My hlj kits are always multiple boxes wrapped together, whereas the kits i buy in person from a local store have an outer layer of plastic shrink wrap, and an anti theft tag/sticker inside the box.

What are the best dom/rick dom/domtropen/dreissen/etc HGs?

Recently build a sandtropen and I'm a bit disappointed.

I've got today's episode of 3-gatsu no lion on right now.

>>6017781
Why the hell would i want to attend?

>>6017824
The HGUC vanilla Dom/Rick Dom is nice.
AFAIK the only difference between the Dreissens is coloring and decoration.

Let's also add in that the health insurance for it sucks and the mortality rate is high.

Excuse my lack of knowledge, who's head is that?

Sinanju Stein, Sinanju beore it got stolen by the Sleeves and repainted to look more like a Char suit and less like a Gundam.

>>6016780
It's nothing special. The G-Armor box set has the 2.0 and the G-Fighter, both molded in the real-type colors. Oh, and it was a standard release, not P-Shill.

>>6016971
It is. I wish I'd both built it and also learned of the exclusive 4-pack sooner.
On that note I really should get started on that Ironfoot as well.

>>6017566
I need to -actually- get around to filling/forming/drilling more milliput & green stuff in my Space-Com GM's new backpack and fanny-pack.

>>6017618
Sometimes. I want to see if some clearanced bluetooth speaker tower will connect to my laptop from the basement.

>>6017722
Because I inevitably come up with more things go to add or want to play in a different order from what the computer feeds me. I don't know ow what this order is when I'd be making a playlist, either.

>>6017765
Nah, it's a Gusion. Thanks for reminding me to snag a Liger with my next Amiami order though.

If I were interested in getting into Zoid kits, what would be a nice, cheap starter? My youngest brother had a motorized Liger Zero I built for him, which sadly is gone I think - I just want some of the nostalgia, and some of the awesome designs.

>>6017888
I'll have to take a look for that set. Love the original Gundam design, and that's just too good to miss out on. That bubble canopy, so rad.

>>6017851
That looks so much better. Would be nice in Hyaku Shiki gold as well.

>>6017836
Wow that is an old kit. infamous for it's weak shoulder joint breaking.

When I drain my compressor tank I get this orange liquid come out. Is my compressor rusted and fucked? There anyway to save it?

Holy shit, IBO is fucking amazing. Should I grab the HG Barbatos to show my love for the series? Still watching it on Toonami, so I'm nowhere near the end.

>>6018020
Better pucker your asshole, cause there ain't no lube where you're going.

Is this the same as the model on the left? I'm not seeing anything on Dalong, and I know it's the original Gundam design.

>>6017776

So, they like don't think you're gay or an otaku degenerate? I only ask, not to be rude, but because I would get a nendo maybe but I don't know how people would generally react.

I kinda wanted a nipako and i'd give her a mini table to make mini gunpla or one of those little arcade machines they sell at hobbysearch.

>>6017910

you could possibly make playlists based on what your feeling like, like hotblood or if you're wanting to channel some *A E S T H E T I C*

>>6017716
God you're a faggot cunt lol.

I'm not a hobbyist nerd like you, just trying to have some fun and figured I'd make a little post, forgot this place was full of losers though, enjoy your cheetos.

>>6017836
Surely!

>>6018127

not that guy but why are you insulting faggots? seems to me that you're the cunt and now you're also outnumbered. we dont need you here

>>6017716
Like lmao. "Jesus man"...

I don't know what you mean was a dumb decision. I'm a software engineer and make $100,000 a year so I can afford to throw away money at toys all I like.
As for my model sucking, get over it. I really don't know why you have to act like a little snobby elitist cunt and try and make me feel like I made a bad decision buying my first Gundam. For the record you don't know anything at all about me, I'll have you know my parents just got divorced and I could really use a distraction in my life right now, which is why I picked up a toy spur of the moment. You have problems.

>>6018130
I like gay ppl but I don't like faggots, hope u understand, or are u an SJW?

>>6017781
Not him, but every year of SCGMC people from their group have competed in most categories.

There's quite a few guys in their group.

They even joke at events how they win half the prizes themselves.

>>6018047
That's Dougram, mate

>>6018135

if youre a engineer and this is what you make its really easy for me to know that youre full of shit. truth-wise. like as in your not really an engineer

>>6018135
Don't get so defensive, it just gives people more to work with when they inevitably fuck with you.

You're on 4chan, you should know how to deal with this. When someone gives you shit ignore it, and don't take it personally. It's part of the 4chan experience, especially if you leave yourself vulnerable by making a mistake, being inexperienced, or reacting like you just did.

If you're new to the website then just assume the worst. Assume someone is going to take advantage of any vulnerabilities and either remove them, or don't take it to heart when they attack one of your posts.

Anonymity allows posters to attack each other without feeling guilty, but it also means those attacks are almost never personal. It's just circumstantial, like a fisherman with a hook in the water.

That barbatos looks fine for a first attempt. I'd recommend buying some sprue cutters for the future.

>>6018057
>So, they like don't think you're gay or an otaku degenerate?
If they think that or treat you differently after knowing about your hobby you should pick better friends. If you're really that insecure then this hobby isn't for you anyway.

>>6018135
You really need to grow up.

My room is filled with gundam to the point I look like an excessive maniac, but my friends enjoy my cool robots, even my gf supports my gundam hobby
Ive brought Japanese exchange students over to talk with and they are always like "sugoi"
One of them actually said "ah, you are weeb" i laughed so hard

its all about the personality you exhibit, if you are a timid person its harder to play it off, but if you have one nendo in the room, dont even pay attention unless its brought up, and even then just say "Oh its a cute little figure I got"

if you are a boisterous person you are less likely to be caught off guard

and if they talk shit, tell em to fuck off, thats how we do it in Australia :^)
