***Non-Gundam Group Build***

So this is pretty straightforward, build something that isn't Gundam. I literally do not care what it is, if it's not Gundam it counts (and just to get this out of the way, Bandai is fine). I do not require full paint jobs this time either, as I know the vast majority of people here build Bandai and that's it.

This is also not a prize build, but a regular group build.


Submit to [email protected].
Due Date: February 1st, 2017.

Just tossing this here because of the confusion/misinfo issue, and that many of us do not go to /m/ on a regular basis.

>>6053169

>>6053170
Nobody cares.

>>6053170
>>6053191
I care.

>>6053166
do you mean not part of the gundam franchise, or not a gundam-type MS?

>>6053190
If you make a roll of blue tac or something like that, place it on the surface, and give it a light push so it sticks in place, then the widest part of that roll won't be were it contacts the model, but a bit above, and then it'll curve inwards. Even if you don't actively try to make it like that, you'll have to push things around a good bit to make it not be the case.

The widest part of your masking substance overhangs the base (the part in contact with the model) of it.

If you have that overhang, and spray largely from straight above, then a bit of paint will leak in under it, despite the direct path from airbrush to model being blocked by the widest part of the blue-tac, giving you a slightly fuzzy border.

Or you can spray in slightly from the side, so you get a direct path, and a sharp border.

>>6053209
I'm interpreting it as "does not have the word 'Gundam' anywhere on the box".

>>6053210
Oh, neat. Got it, I'll keep it in mind when tackling camo.

>>6053209
>>6053216
I think the point is to avoid the entire Gundam franchise.

>>6053245
This.

Does anyone happen to know if the Ryusei-Go is the same berrylicious colour as the Aegis and Justice? I'm assuming Flauros is going to be the same colour as Ryusei-Go and with some minor changes I could really get into that design.

Special thanks to GG for sorting out my Secret Santa issue. Some anon is going to have a very gunpla christmas indeed.

New Anon from last week. I decided to start painting for the first time. Guinea pig was a GM Sniper II in artic colors. It's really rough but it was a great learning experience. Anyways if anyone has any tips or pointers I'd like to hear em!

>>6053548
I offered to get an Gundam Altron/Dragon for my brother who use to love it in wing, but he politely declined. I figure it makes sense considering all his time is spent in medical classes or working.

My family bought me the Revive RX-78-2, God Gundam and the SD Neo Zeong. I'm quite happy with those, or will be come the 25th and unwrapping.

>>6053661

So, I am comparing the various HG releases of the RX-78-2, and I am thinking that to original HG might be the best route to go in making my HG version of the RX-78-2 T, so I will have one to go along with my SD version.

Anyone know if there is a stupidly basic looking Gundam I can spray or handpaint to look like picture related?

>>6053676
lol, I'm trying to do scoring from hits. I tried.

>>6053699

you do that with a burnt toothpick or incense, not paint blotch

When your DIY sanding sticks get worn out, do you put another layer of sand paper on top or make a new stick?

>>6053699
Still, nice directional burn splatter on the arm.

>>6053701
I mean, two months ago I'd never built a model. So everything is new to me. That's really good advice though. Got any for removing the paint I already got there?

>>6053723

i see from skirt plate that you painted the pieces white before taking them off, its not advisable since it leaves an ugly nub scar with its originals plastic colors.

there are many ways to "re-do" the apeshit stain, sand it off with a 600 to 800 grit sandpaper and paint it over, etc.

>>6053166
Any possibility of extending the end date to March 1?

>>6053738
Only if enough people request it.

That works, I'll give it until the end of the thread.

>>6053661
Go for things like panel lining before you start on wear&tear.

>>6053684
Any of them? SD is just a small Gundam, I don't see why you can't just paint the HGUC or Revive, it's going to be the same with HG scale and each would have slightly different proportions or detail. You do know you can create or cover as much detail as you want on a model with plastic sheets and putty, right?

How are the Macross Frontier kits? I really loved that series and was thinking about grabbing a kit or two.

>>6053783
I'm actually planning on painting it in regular gundam colours.

How does one go around priming frames?

Separate the individual pieces of each part then prime (i.e. separate the leg of a frame into its components) or prime each part as a whole (i.e. prime the whole leg frame in one go)?

>>6054235
prime sections or individual parts, otherwise exposed frame might be unprimed/unpainted in some poses

this is from wiki

>He can also destroy all the conjurer's enemies by burning them up.Commonly people represent him as a humanoid leopard with big claws.

>Flauros is depicted as a terrible and strong leopard that under request of the conjurer changes into a man with fiery eyes and an awful expression.

>Flauros can also supposedly be called upon when a mortal wishes to take vengeance on other demons.

That last bit might mean someone dies then another revenge fight for the Tekkadan with the ryusei go colored new Gundam.

Feels good to finally get the waterslides done. After a year of leaving it plain I got to work. I hecked up in a couple of places and I regret not having the right setup for seamlines. While it is regrettable, I plan to put clear coat on to finish it off and hopefully hide any small blemishes.

When using clear coat, is one layer fine?

It can be just as long as a pole weapon for reach.

There is a reason that the beam javelin never really took off or saw much further use.

In ibo there was no beams (Until this past episode) and no beam sabers so the polearm is still king of melee weaponry.

Glad you have your item, thanks for being a pal and looking around. Does looking on amazon or HLJ/another Japanese site and keeping to a $30 limit sound good? Whatever site you prefer to buy from please let me know.

I don't know they definitely still using it as standard issue with the GM III, not far to believe that its only used for certain instances of some enemies have armor so thick that a standard beam saber might be risky.

That entire battle was full of old stuff on both sides. One soldier even joked about it.

>>6055383
Oh yeah, I think that's where it's from.

Yeah, I figured the chances were pretty low since it's pretty obscure. I don't even really know what VS is.
I didn't know it was unofficial though.

>>6055439
Its an exclusive original design from a Bandai game, not Sunrise. And the game was gundam Try Age now that I look.

>>6055449
>>6055439
>>6055363
For all we know the design might be canon but the gundam still being intact isn't known. Maybe it was destroyed with the other 45 frames.

>>6055452

I wish these games weren't just in Japan. I'm pretty curious about what they reveal about the Danalion, and if it has anything to add to the IBO setting.

Besides, it's a pretty good design and I dig the sword rifle.

Stuff like this makes me wish we had some more Dynasty Warriors Gundam games. IBO would be perfect for that style of gameplay.

READ THE GUIDE so you can know how to build properly basic etiquette like photo resizing. Dalong.net shows off model kits wih freat picture reviews. I don't know your answer for the question but I'm sure if the weapons are not included in the model box it will be in an optional parts set.

You would have to buy the hg rebake from the first season. Actually, you would have to buy 4 of them to get 4 of the rifles like it used in that one fight.

Or you can say fuck it and get the axe from option set 3 like it had against the Geirail.

Gusions whole thing is that it's an armored powerhouse. Plus the Geirail was kind of a shit MS even for its time.

>>6055689
I see it like an expensive, master tooled and built Gundam with probably no expenses spared when designed with technologies from hundreds of years ago, against a grunt suit built for a combination of price and efficiency.

It's like comparing the Batmobile with a VW Beetle. There will be some major differences and discrepancies between them.

>>6055703
193 are currently out, with an additional 5 down the pipeline.

>against a grunt suit built for a combination of price and efficiency.

Geirail manual specifically states that it was built with "Easy to maintain" in mind over being powerful since MS fell out of use post-war and they didn't really need overly strong MS anymore to keep the peace. Same with the Graze which replaced it. The entire reason they're rolling out the Reginlaze is that people are using MS again and they need a better unit that can put up a show of force.

Iok is really damaging the whole "strong" image they're trying to enforce though.

>>6055689

then watch Thunderbolt. For a show with two OP suits, it still does a great job of making every shot look fatal and important to dodge.

The Astaroth isn't to my taste but at least you'll have a solidly engineered model. The GM Quel on the other hand is really cool looking, be sure to take care when cleaning nubs on black plastic. Might want to paint that one because of it. Mega Man merch is always a positive to have.

Anyone thinking of buying the mobile armor? And paint it in some tropical bird's colors.

Think we will ever get decent scale HG Mobile Worker sets? Like they did with the Ball or Loto? After watching Episode 24, I am lusting after one. Fuck me, but that was one of the most brutal episodes so far.I only hope the series keep getting even better each week it airs.

>>6055740
Looking forward to the future episodes of IBO, that is for sure. It already has me planning on getting a Graze or two, and Barbatos.

There are 1/144 mobile workers of pretty much all of them already. They're in the option sets, really tiny, and made of like only 4 pieces.

What you really want is something like a 1/35 or 1/48 scale version of them in the style of the UC Hard Graph kits from years ago.

WTB: used/broken gunpla for kitbash/custom purposes. If you have some I might be interested depending on the kit.
What I'm really looking for are the following:
HG Strike Freedom, looking for both arms
HG Freedom, looking for legs
HGUC GM Type C, looking for skirts and hip section, main body and head.
Open to anything else, though, so please feel free to reply here or via email with offers.

For the dijeh i just used some aves apoxy putty to make the dragonbone pauldron and cemented it to the top of the right sholder. Its not too heavy so it doesnt weight down the dijeh. The head is made of the djieh head with some master gundam skirt parts to make the sides and top of the helm. I went with a dijeh because i didnt want to ruin an mg zaku if i messed up.

For the kit on the right, i basically took my old brave commander type and added styrene plates over its body to make it look like plated armor. For its sholders, i used the wrist armor from an old 1/100 ng wing zero custom.

Alright, thanks.
Yeah, I'm planning on only getting things that'd be hard or expensive to get online, but I'll probably succumb to the temptation and buy regular kits too.

I'm also kind of excited to try all the Gundam arcade games they have there, even though I won't know what I'm doing literally 99% of the time. You ever play them when you went?

if you have to succumb, make sure you buy new kits or really cheap gm kits, i bought 10 kits and had to ship it all back to AUSTRALIA for 7000 yen. I weeped

I did try Gundam maxiboost and the gundam pod games

Playing maxiboost is fun if you do an arcade mode on your favourite machines you havnt played with yet (like legilis)
But DONT play against otaku, they will kick your asshole and mock you by standing there and blocking. My excuse is not getting used to the arcade controls from ps3 and being one versus two japs. Fuck them. Only 100 yen a play tho, arcades are real cheap.

The gundam pod was fuckin A
You are essentially inside a cockpit and the build fighters music plays, its orgasmic. You move with pedals and fly over the map shooting zakus or gms. Its heaps of fun.

In short, try out the arcades. But dont get scammed by ufo catchers. (Unless you ask one of the workers how to play, they will give you a few tips)

>>6056554
Oh man, I'd have weeped too. My plan was to just bring an extra luggage bag and fill it with gunpla. Although, now that I think about it, that probably wouldn't end so well for the gunpla since the bags of luggage are kind of just thrown in there and probably spend the whole flight crushing each other..

I've never heard of maxiboost until now but alright, your advice has been noted.
Man, you're making me even more hype to play the pod though. That's the main thing I'm looking to play. Are the pods and other arcade games seen in any common arcade, or can I only find them in some super specific places like huge shopping center arcades or something?
Also, how friendly/helpful were the workers? I planned on asking for help since I won't know how to play the games, but I was afraid it wouldn't amount to much due to the language barrier, and I've heard a lot of japs don't really like tourists so I was worried they wouldn't be too friendly. Not sure if that last thing is really true though, just what I've heard.

>>6056569
Trust me if Gunpla battle was real I would spend more money on customizing than kits.

>>6056569
Do you open carry or concealed carry?

>>6056575
Open carry my HG, concealed carry my SD for self-defense.

Waterslides are on the blue backed material, right? Normal decals are not?

>>6056594
Usually. In my experience the sticker decals and waterslides are different shades, though honestly they're really similar shades.

>>6056596
Damn. I might have to leave them off my Nu in that case. Thank you.

>>6056594
>>6056596

Just to latch onto your subject.

Are waterslide sheets specific to the gundam model, or can you just use any since its mostly engineering babble?
I really like those small numbers and markings on all the plates and shit, and I want them for my Barbatos kit to liven it up.

Carry on can work too, one backpack and a bag of gunpla will work

Have you played extreme vs series before? Otherwise its still fun on arcade.

I played it at a building that had restaurants on the first floor and then a large arcade on the second floor that had ufo catchers and a crepe shop. It was in Kyoto, nijo station, which actually is only two stops from the actual Kyoto station that has the kyoto hotel and kyoto tower. If you stop at that famous station, take a ride to Nijou. You will see the building when you exit. However, visit yodobashi camera near Kyoto station for fantastic gunpla displays.

As for requesting help, brush up on a lil Japanese or buy a phrase dictionary and learn the key phrases you want. Japanese people are very very friendly, and are happy to help you. Knowing a bit of the language will score brownie points too.

Wherever you heard the locals being unfriendly bullshit, has never visited Japan or has a bad attitude and stinks like shit.

>>6056604
If you're talking about the Nu Gundam Ver. Ka then they're waterslides.

>>6056606
No rule that says you match kits and decals, but generally you'd want to match decals with kits since the decals were designed for the specific kit.

Still, if you're not bothered with the specifics go ahead. Make your ZAFT Barbatos or something.

I have a Hi-Zack and I don't like it at all
What do I do with it? I'd get the Vanargand conversion kit but I don't know if I want to spend so much money on that

>>6056609
The Nu Gundam SD.

>>6056560
That's mostly true of custom builds too, they can be stupidly expensive once you start buying equipment and materials. I imagine that big ass Jesta mobile armor that won a contest cost a few hundred in supplies alone.

My airbrush setup and collection of paints I still have probably cost me like 700 USD. Not to mention my spray booth and respirator mask, plus the table to put all that junk on. And my putty, HIPS sheets, various cutting and scoring tools, etc. Yeah a lot of them are one-time purchases but are good chunk are really consumables.

Who ever wanted the Red Astray Frame for SS, you're lucky I remembered today to check, I got the last one in stock. That and the Rider Skull is coming, in Feb. Happy holidays to all anyways.

>>6056531
Well the head currently rotates and looks up and down from time to time but I'd love to see some more movement in the arms, or just panels opening and closing across the body. I'd pay whatever stupid amount of yen to sit in the cockpit if they made that an option too.

>>6053166
I might work on this for the group build.

No worries man, that picture of garma I posted, was in a Gundam bar in Osu, Nagoya. Its called Sieg Zeon. Its a very Lala themed bar but the guy who owns it used to be a zeon soldier cosplayer and his collection is impressive. However it opens at like 5:00pm and a coke costs 500円...

But its very comfy, he put on the episode Tobe Gundam while I drank my coke. When I decided to go, he got out from the bar and we both saluted each other and said "Sieg Zeon!"

Nagoya doesn't really have much to do though, sakae is a good choice if you do go, and Osu is like a cosplay district. Id recommend just going to the big three, Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. Although, an occasional detour to a new place is fine, be adventorous! If you can do it, take a shinkansen to Hiroshima to see the A-Bomb dome. Its actually quite the emotional atmosphere when you go into the museum and look at the displays of destruction.

If you want, do some research into midnight buses if taking a shinkansen drains your wallet too much in the trip. Ive done it three times. Entirely up to you though.

Staying in a manga cafe overnight can be cheap, for less than 1000 yen you get access to internet, a chair that leans back 90 degrees lying down, and mango everywhere. But a hotel might be more convenient if you are a first timer to Japan.

>Wherever you heard the locals being unfriendly bullshit, has never visited Japan or has a bad attitude and stinks like shit.

This is honestly my experience as well. Locals were all super nice and helpful across different cities, I was in Gifu, Nagoya, Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara and from museums, to restaurants and bars, they were all nice. The only rude guy was the multiple storey moe pillow store in Akihabara I got lost to, he got offended when I asked him if he had any gunpla or revoltechs on any of the floors... but really that was just that one slimy looking guy. Everyone else, from all ages were super nice.

>>6056723
You reminded me of the time I got caught by the Akihabara painting lady. She was nice, but I had to spaghetti my way out of there.

>>6056729
>Akihabara painting lady

what?

>>6056611
BST, give it to someone. Why buy a kit you dislike? Aside from kitbash part material.

Yeah, you kinda get that feeling from Akihabara and such, otherwise spot on
I remember sperging by forgetting how to insert the tickets, and this nice old lady helped me. When I had ticket trouble in Odaiba, this sweet girl and her boyfriend helped me out. I was so grateful to them.

>>6056729
>akihabara painting lady
wait... no way, that one lady in the Akiba's trip is also in the real Akiba?! Fuckin sasuga....

>>6056740

?
>Why buy a kit you dislike?
It was a gift

>>6056739
there is a lady near akiba station that will sell you expensive fake painting.... every local knows about it
>>6056747
well they tried to be as close to the real akiba as possible

>>6056747
They recreated akiba down to the sex shop chain, why wouldn't that be a real thing

Finished my first SD. Fun kit, even if the stickers were annoying.

>>6056748
/toy/ has a Buy Sell Trade thread up constantly. As for the gift part, can't help you there.

>>6056723
Of course they are going to be nice. It's Japanese culture. You thank the hibakusha for the gift, but then throw it away when they aren't looking.

Probably the G-Self.

It would make sense because Turn A was the 100th.

Thirteen SD kits for $110. Two box sets, to be entirely accurate. Does that price seem acceptable?

>>6056888
I can see it now.

There's going to be a special edition like the Turn A did to help drive up sales. This might be a tactic Bandai will employ because G-Self really wasn't that popular.

>>6056888
But the Turn A was a great design. The G-Self is the Playskool My first Gundam.

>>6055832
>Those patrol robots from 00S2

What kit did those come in?

>>6056985
I think the Ahead has them.

>>6056992
>>6056985
yep

>>6056899

G-Self is also a great design. Both Turn A and G-Self are meant to really do a new take on the original's look, I actually like both. That being said, I don't collect MGs so I don't have a horse in this race.

>>6056998
They look like Ticks from Titanfall 2. Neato.

>>6056999
I suppose I might be biased, since I was so hyped for Reco in G, and it just was so awful to watch in my opinion. I'll respect your opinion Anon, but like you I have yet to get into MGs so my opinion is null.

Will we ever see a return of the HY2M Dom? I really love the look of it, but it doesn't seem to high on Bandai's priority list.

>>6057035
HY2M?

Man, this thread is so much nicer than the /m/ one. Glad I made the jump. Anyway, repost! If anyone sees the Ge-Drei or the G-Commander from this line anywhere, please let me know! Most of the others are on E2046. I've got to pick up the Sturm Jaeger at some point too.

So, how do the rest of you posting here feel about older gunpla? I have been looking at the 80's MSV kits, as well as the older G-generation Zero / G-generation F kits, but I have noticed some issues between older and newer suits. Mostly it is scale - compare the SD kits below - would a kit half the size of a SD really be worth around the $5-10 or so average cost? I can completely understand markup due to age/desire for the kit, but I feel like I might be getting shafted in the long run if I start picking up stuff like the Zaku Minelayer or Tank, and the CCA movie SD kits. Thoughts?

>>6056885
What kit is that? Hard to read from the box

>>6057085
Char's Z'Gok. HG.Just cropped the image to remove my RX-178 and the majority of the unneeded counter space shown in it, because it's not needed and only takes up space and loads slower for people looking at it.

>>6057051
That neogeo is a resin kit right?

>>6057117
It is, yes. There's a ridiculous number of different Neogeo resin designs out there.

>>6057117
All of those are resin kits.

California SS bro, your package was sent tonight

Ohio anon, your package has been shipped.

>>6057051
I want that fucking Kondo Zeta.

E2046 is all out, any leads on where it could be stocked?

>>6057239
Yahoo Japan Auctions or Mandarake. E2046 is ass, you shouldn't buy from there in the first place.

>>6057051

>glad I made the jump

fuck off it's not some exclusive club

>>6057264
You gotta admit, it's a huge increase in quality due to the sole fact that a certain tripfag doesn't rear its head

>>6057254
Damn, Mandarake is out too.

Any tips on what kanji I should enter for yahoo auctions?

>>6057266
Sadly, that's wrong.

>>6057283
和久 ガンダム

>>6057309
Thanks!

>>6057310
Use google next time. You can find the kanji for most things on Wikipedia, ANN or some mecha fanwiki.

>>6057310
Okay so I checked YJA out of curiosity and there don't seem to be any. That leaves ebay and asking around on forums or facebook.

Also there was a 1/100 Goblin for six hundo if anyone's interested.

>>6057329
Damn, what a shame. Hopefully e2046 can make some more recasts soon.

>>6057332
E2046's casting quality is more often than not utter shite. I wouldn't recommend getting anything from there unless you're willing to do a lot of work.

Sorry for shitting up the thread.
Why were air tanks needed for airbrushing?

>>6057335
Damn, that's ass. Guess I gotta look for a resin GM elsewhere.

>>6057088
Thanks bro

which japanese 7-11s have gunpla in them?

i've been in maybe two and couldn't find any

New thread: >>6057466

>>6057383
They're not needed, but a tank means the compressor isn't constantly running and making noise

>>6056999
>>6057023
Turn A's design was different and strived to be different. The build for it is unlike any other MG and it deserved the 100 slot. G Self looks different, but doesn't try anything new. It definitely looks like a Fisher Price toy.

I've got my fingers crossed for Age 3 MG, but I know that'll never happen.

>>6053972
That Artorias is kinda neato
