***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.

>Yellow LED is P-Bandai
why

When is GundamPlanet going to start giving away the 2016 Customize parts? I just got my order and I got 2 B's from 2015.

What's the best/most accurate G-Self or Full Armor?

Not sure if there are any differences in the kits.

>>6057481
Never, they're jews and never give anything out until it's too late

>>6057476
buy the bootleg leds off ebay.

Just as good, much much cheaper and readily available.

>For fun buy one of those chinese waterslides off ebay
>Shipped out November 11th
>Only just today landed in customs

This sure takes a while.

I don't know about you, but I like the idea that it goes flying back about 30 feet every time it fires its cannon. Useless, but hilarious.

Thanks Santa!

>>6058538
Best thunderbolt FA is the MG, with the two hg being literally the same mold, just slightly different colors.

All the G-Self hg use the same base mold for the most part. "Best" mostly comes down to preference for the loadout.

>>6058529

how is the origins better anon? I have and love the Astaroth, kind of on the fence about the A.Origins, wondering if I should grab that or a Gusion instead.

>>6058538

I pretty much bought every other G Reco kit except the G-Self. I will say that the Perfect Pack G-Self was pretty tempting.

Any anons around here who got/built the HG G-Self?

>>6058592

Thank you.

>>6058597

Which is your favorite?

>>6058444
Why not became the snapshit-kun of /toy/?

>>6058606

>>6058602

My fav G-Reco kit? The Gastima, easily. It doesn't have any fancy gimmicks but it's just a super cool looking design for me. Surprising runner up is the Catsith for just how blocky and fun its accessories are. I'd recommend the Grimoire too.

Oh thank god, it's not actually that shiny OOB. I would absolutely destroy that finish during nub removal. Yeah, riding that thing would never work but I'm sure some sick poses could be made and I'd likely end up getting kits for the other unit types anyway.

Come to think though, why isn't there a base Liger downgrade kit? You can buy it in any configuration standalone or buy the base and upgrade it to the other configurations, but there's no way to buy a standalone upgrade and then make it the normal Liger.

Abysmal.

Well time to buy some models.
Thinking of 1 large MG, 2 mid sized mg or a bunch of high grades. So far these are my choices, which ones do you recommend?

Large MG
Sazabi, Nu, Hi Nu, or ReZel Type C

Midsized
Hyakushiki, Jesta, Tallgeese, Rezel Commander, Unicorn Banshee, and Zaku Cannon

Highgrades
ZII, ZZII, Tryon 3, Graze, Marasai, Arios, Vidar, barbatos Lupus, Gusion Full City, Tieren, Unicorn Full armor red version, Banshee. and revive hyaku shiki

>>6058925
Keeping the gundam white in all the colour schemes dilutes them so much that I genuinely couldn't tell what they were without looking at the shield marking.

>>6058954
Sazabi Ver. Ka.

Such a good MG.

sazabi is a impressive fuckin kit.

So I'm using Tamiya to do some panel washes. Somehow I fucked up and bought the X-10 gunmetal that for some reason has shiny bits in it which doesn't seem like it'd be good for the purpose. For general use washing on lighter colors, what's the best gray to go for?

But buying kits will be more expensive. You'll have to find other hobbies, some of them might even be more productive to society! Our great and wonderful leader will even make YOU great again!

Would a SD be an appropriate gift for someone who has never built a model, but might enjoy it? Person in question is also a successful radiologist in training, so they have the intelligence/mechanical skill for it. I mean it's not a young kid or anything. Thinking the Barbatos DX, since it has all the accessories..

>>6059181
I bought him a gift card to the movies, so he can take his fiance. It's my younger, far more successful brother and we both watched Wing and G Gundam on Toonami as kids. It's a bit of nostalgia, and if I decide not to give it to him, it's not like I will waste it.

Both Bandai Hobby and Sunrise are part of Bandai, but that does not mean that Bandai Hobby owns the Gundam designs or franchise. They have to get a licence to use them just like any other company (although they supposedly get it cheap).

Japanese business practices are weird, Sunrise basically acts as its own company despite being owned by Bandai and Bandai even has its own anime branch (Bandai Visual) seperate from Sunrise (although they often work together).

Subscription box came in from USAgundamstore. $30 shipped, you can just sign up for the current month without making a subscription.

Tweezers, reverse tweezers, a decent hg, a fuckboi wing kit (but at least a cool one), a sheet of 800 paper, a bag of scale screws, 3 pots of Tamiya Acrylic.

I'll probably do another month and see how different it is from month to month.

Actual FL anon here (as proof we ended up deciding on several Fed or Zeon kits plus option parts through HLJ) and space sounds good for mecha stuff.

>>6060241
We do a monthly build gathering, so splitting the box up across who needs what isn't awful. I'm hoping for a cheaper version that focuses on detail parts instead, which they said they'd work on if the main one went well. Indecision and high shipping keeps me from getting a lot of that stuff.

>>6060236
USAgundamstore?

That place has the worst customer service I've ever dealt with.

>>6060252
Other than the fact that it's basically a lootbox(shame on you), I'm more miffed on the fact that hobbymate has an overseas presence.

That shop is literally aliexpress for modellers with an even higher premium and run by a shill who is probably not even an experienced modeller. Seriously, he doesn't even know what he's shilling at times.

Wait, they send 4 random boxes, as in, you probably won't actually get the full kit?

I just got that aurora film that you recommended in the mail, gelgoog guy.
It's just a chrome foil sticker. I think I got gypped.
Oh well, at least it only cost 2 bucks

>>6060533
You will get everything shown in the images.

Hey, guys. This past weekend I bought a box of thoroughly fucked Gundams to use as spare parts. I managed to strip off all the paint with liberal application of CSC, but it appears most of this shit is superglued together.

What's the best way to separate glued parts without destroying them?

>>6060682
Superglued? If it's epoxy glue then your best bet is either knifing it apart until the glue cracks, or slightly wet the glue with some acetone, being careful not to damage the actual plastic

If it's cemented then you'll have to cut them apart

>>6060682
Any solvent that will attack superglue will attack plastic much worse. Throw the parts in the freezer.

My favorite so far (Neue Ziel hasn't arrived yet though) has to be the Hizack and Wing Gundam. Gigan and Grimoire are excellent too.

I'm a noob to Gundam so most of them I don't know much about outside their names. I'll look them up on the Gundam Wiki though. They have got me interested in watching the tv shows again I'll say that.

>no paints destroy plastic
Assuming you mean PS; bullshit, lacquers can destroy PS.

>what you need to be careful of are ABS polycaps
Polycaps are made of PE. Bandai sometimes uses ABS in their kits, but rarely will there be anything resembling polycaps on the sprue. Any oil based paints (enamels or lacquers) will damage PE and ABS.
