Apparently the red highlighted joints are really tight on this release of WISM Soldier and Assautl, and might require some adjustment via sanding or otherwise.

Keep it in mind while building and don't hamhand your kits.

I don't know how many times i broke a piece because of that reason.

I believe theres another twitter hashtag for frame arms girl just without the ・

which brings up some alternate results. I stopped looking on twitter because theres too much scratchbuilt shit I can never make myself and its depressing

We already knew about it from the last thread, but another warning about that T joint in the hips for Megami Device.

This person apparently tried to move the hip beyond the range of articulation without having adjusted the tightness. Recommend shock oil and sanding.

>>6080847
the "world" section on that site really clinches it; the concepts used in the setting for shinkis RE: what they are, the holographic battlefield stuff, etc... fuck, there's even a nod to the "illegal AI modifications" subplots from rondo and battlemasters in there.

Why? There are few better alternatives to fix it without going full retard and gluing it.

>>6081231
fucking hell people are tearing these things apart.
I'm still putting it down mostly to poor handling by idiots. They can't snap this easy if you're careful and gentle with them.

I'll definitely be making sure the joints aren't too tight when I build mine.

>>6081376
Take a look at the joint design, it's seriously not great.

>>6081376
Shinki hard plastic is ABS. That's lego plastic. Super durable, but can still break sometimes with mistreating.

Model plastic is styrene. Super soft. /Will/ break. /Will/ get brittle over time. Megami Device are model kits, not toys, and need to be treated carefully and gently.

>>6081407
Looking at the sprues of Frame Arms girls, They're a mix of ABS and Styrene. And POM too now, as of Baselard. Not sure what material that particular piece is for Megami Device, but if it's PS, they really should have made it something else. I have a feeling this will be one of the points of improvement we see in the next set of kits with the T joint being replaced by ABS (if it already isn't) or POM.

>>6081402
The notch cut into it doesn't help things at all, yeah. I have a feeling they were designing this thing with more articulation in mind than durability. There's probably a groove that it runs along on the inside of the crotch or something.

That said, if you have a Baselard or Indigo Jinrai, you've got a POM runner in it. H for Baselard, not sure for Indigo Jinrai. Simple fix would be to cut a T out of one of those sprues and maybe the notch as well. That will hold much better.

Indigo Jinrai's X runner. Would probably be easier to use Indigo Jinrai's because there's a pretty nice uninterrupted T in the middle there, whereas with Baselard's you'd have to trim some bits.

Man now I'm nervous about building my megami girls and I haven't even gotten the kits yet.

Richigo I have a question about the full gear set for shinki's in your shop.

How compatible do you think it would be with a FAG?. Innocentia for instance. I have no shinkis but I like the wings.

>>6081602

>>6081608

Will do.

>>6081535

[concern]

>>6081575
>smells like poisonus cancer
That's because it is. Get an organic respirator when you work polyester resin. Always. The disposable ones are cheap as fuck and last 50 hours.

You have no excuse and your health is important.

>>6081705
You guys make me too scared to do resin kits.

>>6081705
It isn't. Most resin kits nowadays are made using polyurethane resin, not polyester. Polyurethane is chemically inert when fully cured and it isn't regulated by OSHA for carcinogens. It's flammable though.

>>6081714

I don't think muscuto's require much sanding. The main problem is when you create resin dust when you sand. If you don't do that then no problem.

>>6081720
That said, you should still use a dust mask at least. Breathing in anything with tiny particles like that is still bad for you.

>>6081720

carcinogens aren't even really the problem though?

its that the resin goes in your lungs and gets stuck... Unless you have a respirator

>>6081726
You don't need an organic respirator like >>6081705 suggested for something that doesn't release carcinogenic fumes.

A dust mask is enough.

>>6081730

This type of resin is cured with benzene, dude. That's the smell. If it smells like death you need organic rated respirator cans.

>>6081721
It does require sanding honestly
All resin parts have pic related that needs to be cut and sanded if you want a clean smooth result. Also, if you are going to add magnets, as the guide suggest, you are going to produce a lot more dust.

>>6081535
Anyone could tell me where I can buy a muscuto ? I looked up amiami and amazon but didn't find anything on these.

>>6081811
Check his twitter. Best to order from him through email.

Here is my 2cents about bulding it:
1) Read the whole guide before you attemp anything.
2) Read the guide again and keep it at hand while you build your figure along with the paper in the kit.
3) Some of the pieces (expecially the little ones) doesnt fit straight with plastic and ll break if you force them, so have a pot of hot water nearby to deep them in.
4) Use cyanoacrylate glue.
5) If you are going to magnetize some of the parts, do it before assembly.
6) Sanding and drilling are going to produce bad smell and fumes, so a mask or respirator can be handy.
7) Did you read the guide? Seriously read it again.
8) Waterslides are bitches. They tear and rip really easly so place them with lot of attention and care.
These are the first things that comes to my mind.

>>6081800
just jumping in here, there is sanding required, but it's actually very little because the pieces are so small.

personally, I use nub clipper, scalpel, then 2 grits of sandpaper and the sanding is very little because the resin is very soft as is, unlike the hard plastic of a gundam. a couple passes will do you a great deal.

>>6083054
MD and FAGs attract a lot of new blood to modeling. They likely knew that other modelers use enamel - but don't want to bother with primer or a base coat since MD are primarily white to start with, so "what's the point?"

Also custom machined vernier nozzle replacements instead of some off the shelf drop-in ones, they rescribed the panel lines and added more in some places, applied over 100 stupidly tiny decals from various Hi-Q custom sheets... basically went full autism mode and completely overdid things because that's kind of their shtick. Their previous auctions for Materias and Architect sold pretty high too but not nearly this high.

If there are problems with the durabilty of the Machineca bodies used on Megami Device kits, could Konami be holding back the release of Busou Shinki kits using the same Machineca design until they see how the bodies perform? Especially since we know Konami used to put a high priority on durability with the original Busou Shinki line because they hoped kids would buy them.

I'm afraid of Konami being right on their hunch that these buyers will not treat them as a once-and-done model kit but as some psuedo-figma/SHF.

With the breakages being reported, they're getting ever closer to their hunch.

in b4 mostly POM/ABS construction and 2.0 re-releases later.

>>6084260
Why should Konami care when the whole thing is Kotobukiya after licensing it from them, moron?

>>6085723
however, it shouldn't be in konami's hands. konami isn't the one selling the product.

neverminding that regardless of what customers do, they're still marketted as kits, with all the caveats that come with that.

and no amount of excuses are going to justify the complete lack of news since last winter. release schedules shouldn't affect prototypes getting painted, either.
if konami is doing anything (and the faggots probably are), it's likely unrelated to APSY's design and more related to the way they keep burning any bridges they've got left.

It's a good thing I had practice with Koto's SRW kits, the older Alt Eisen kit is top heavy and has a weak hip joint, and gave me practice for FA:G assembly. Also Apsy's old RaCaseal kit has a weak forearm plastic piece near the elbow, had to glue it back together after it developed stress lines and broke, but it was great practice since it has the pseudo-shinki style construction.

Arnval still jelly she can't pose as well as the Megami Device girls.

looks like they are primarily a wonfes thing and will be available online at a later date. but only on kotoshop.
I'm not really too fussed about ordering these, I was going to buy some regular ones to paint this color anyway.

>>6086252
I like the silhouette, but they really need to get cleaned up before I can tell if I'm jealous or not.

>>6086228
Well, they're WF exclusives.

>>6086699
I beg to differ.

http://hobby.dengeki.com/news/310114/

They're WF/KotoshopJP exclusives. You're going to need a middleman unless KotoUS finally gets their heads out of their asses, which I don't think will ever happen.

>>6086699
You might also want to note that >>6086256
isn't links to the kotoshop entry that you'd preorder from. That's the product information page, not the shop page.

Kotoshop page looks something more like this:
http://shop.kotobukiya.co.jp/shopdetail/000000003733/

>>6086228
It's interesting how Kotobukiya doesn't even bother painting these kits or even taking care of the seamlines anymore for promotional shots.

>>6086803
>isn't links to the preorder
Yes, but I noted that later.

>>6086812
Really? I thought the faceplate was painted.. Does it comes with that iridescent look?

>>6086228
Damn that is nice.

>>6086820
some stuff in koto kits comes prepainted. faces on FA girls, MDs, etc.

>>6086812
they generally seem to have a preference for slapping together a kit off the shelf like that. it's a nice bit of "feet on the ground" factor, I think; they seem to be at ease with the idea of having a relatively even split of people who go all out making kits look cool and people who just want to build and pose the robot(girl). since stuff like faces tends to come as pre-painted parts, it's a fair way to communicate exactly what you're getting fresh out of the box.

and they also seem to love showing off customs, so I suppose they look to that as the "and here's how it looks if you REALLY work on it" form of advertising.

>>6086820
It's probably prepainted out of the box.

They wouldn't have just painted just the visor if they were going to leave everything else unpainted and leave the seamlines.

They're selling the kits ahead of the Kotobukiya Shop preorders opening. Regardless, still exclusives to both WF and Kotobukiya Shop and you won't be able to get them unless you have a middleman or forwarding service. Or KotoUS brings them over on a near impossible chance.

Is this color discrepancy a known issue? This is the only photo I've seen with it and the description doesn't seem to mention it

>>6087358
They're Kotobukiya shop exclusives, not WF exclusives.

WF exclusives are limited releases which means once they sell out you're never getting them again.

Kotobukiya shop releases are only limited in the sense that you can only buy them from Kotobukiya, but there are reruns if they do well which is why you can still get the green and white Gourai to this day,

>>6087372
Eggplane Stylet? Monotone Gourai?

The Green Workmanship Gourai was a commemorative kit for them opening a new location, not something tied to an event like Eggplane Stylet, Monotone Gourai, and the upcoming WISM recolors.

Check the manual, they might just be different materials which might account for why the color is different.

From UNOYO's review linked earlier the shoulders do seem to be in a slightly pinker tone of white.

Best solution would be to just paint the kit.

Literally still on the shelves in the Akihabara store.

Does anyone know a middleman service for amazon.co.jp, for items they don't ship internationally?

>>6087464
Yeah, in the Akihabara store of Kotobukiya. Not Amiami, HLJ, Hobbysearch, or where else that people that don't reside in Japan could buy them without a premium like there is on Mandarake.

You still need a middleman.

>>6087491
Try Tenso. Cheaper than outright getting a middleman.

2chan thread for WISM Soldier/Ass is up.

http://nov.2chan.net/y/res/3617566.htm

>>6087502
Yes, Kotobukiya, where they're still in stock and will remain in stock, that's the entire fucking point, that they're not one time limited event releases like WF exclusives.

Retard.

>>6087503
Thanks.
My heart thanks you, but my wallet hates you.

Going to preorder Hresvelgr tonight along with a bunch of modeling support goods. I was told in the last thread that HLJ is cheaper overall than Amiami and has the warehouse option which is good in this instance, as the figure hasn't released yet but the accessories have. Yes?

>>6087682
The private warehouse is a good trick to keep in your pocket for any situation. That said, they only let you hold things for two months so do watch out for that in the future.

>>6087519
Good luck buying them without a premium if you don't live in Japan.

>>6087682
Seems to be inconsistent as to which retailer has them for cheaper. It's usually only by a couple hundred yen though.

>>6087722
But Amiami's shipping is more expensive cuz they use a bigger box

>>6087730
EMS doesn't care about the size of the package, they only price based on weight. That said, amiami does have a tendency to really stuff that box with a ton of paper.

>>6087503
How do tenso fees compare with fromjapan?

Do you not know what primer is?

>>6089144

No, I don't own and proudly display a sombrero.

>>6089150
Not him, but primer won't really help when handbrushing lacquer. The real issues with handbrushing lacquer is that it dries way to quickly, literally within a few seconds unless you are really glopping it on. This causes bad brush strokes, uneven layers, actually pulling up previous layers on your strokes as the thinner eats into them, and lacquer thinner is really bad for paint brushes, especially hair based ones.

>>6089119
Uh

I don't hand paint, Mr. Colour is acrylic, and the parts were all primed.

Like I said before,

>the problem was that the coating was too thick and stressed the joint too much.

To be precise I got the ball in but the coat was too thick and it couldn't move at all in the socket, and it broke when I tried to get it out. Pretty dumb mistake but eh. I took care to sand down the ball joints down first after that and had no further problems.

>>6089169
Mr.Color is an acrylic, but its not a water or alcohol based one (unless you were using mr.color aqueus which is water based). Regular mr.color is thinned with lacquer, thinning it with water or alcohol will not thin it properly.

I think fromjapan recently reduced their fees

But I've used treasure japan as I think they were cheaper at the time.

Tenso might work for stuff that isnt limited edition like koto web shop stuff

>>6089969
Tenso works fine for everything, the only complication is that you order all the items yourself, so it requires you to have a bit of knowledge of how to order things in Japan domestically as well as have an account at the store you want to shop from. You basically get a PO box within Japan to ship things to and gather stuff there till you're ready to ship everything to where you actually live. Since it's basically cutting out half of the middleman, the service is cheaper.

Actually, that's what I used to use. I'd use an old pair of wire cutters to clip the part out high up on the gate, then trim the nub away with a hobby knife on a cutting mat. I did it that way back when I first did hobby modeling, but that was like fifteen years and an arm injury ago.

The last few months I've been having a bad go with my right hand being numb (the first three fingers at least). Most of my FA Girls have turned out ok, but I gouged the hell out of Basalard in a couple of places with the hobby knife because I couldn't control it properly. Im hoping trimming it down about 95% and sanding it smooth will be easier.

I still havn't finished Baselard's frame, I'm hoping that when the sanding stuff gets here and I get some practice in I can finish it, and maybe do some seam welding(if the model cement and plastic sprue shard thing works hopefuly I can patch the scars on baselard as well).

>>6090437
That's kinda spooky.

>>6090603

Seamlines got you down? Got some gouge marks you wanna fill?

Easy solution. Mix plastic cement (preferably Mr. Cement Deluxe since that melts anything short of POM) and some chopped up piece of sprue and you've got color matched putty!

You're welcome.

It looks worse in colour, but less threatening.

I think I was going to go with them but then I had to send some sort of documentation or get approved or something first because of japanese law. it was too much hassle at the time as I almost never need to forward anything.

What are the chances of us seeing translations for this?

Also, how'd I miss the manga announcement? I knew about the anime but nothing printed.

>>6091413
More than the shinki manga, since FAGs are proving to be more popular.

Well, I've been trying to get a team together to scanlate 2036, since I have the RAWs, but finding people who have the time to is difficult.

Currently trying to get the Megami Device comic that's on Megamidevice.com translated, and even that's like pulling teeth.

Here's a preview of that, btw. I found a way to get higher resolution RAWs, so this is gonna be redone. I had asked someone to clean the RAWs for me so I can just translate and typeset as I go, but I'm still waiting on them so I'm pretty close to just doing it myself like I did with this page..

>>6091558
Is cleaning hard? I could maybe try picking that up.

>>6091552

Thanks for the effort though. Everything I like at the moment no one cares to translate.

I can just about struggle though with my bad Japanese, but its still nice to see things translated so they can reach a wider audience.

>>6091137
Cute!

Check your emails folks, I just got a message from Donimassa asking for my address and whether I want physical or digital.

He's sending digitals on the 30th, and physicals on the 4th.

Did anyone end up finding more taobao links? I'm about to order some other stuff and might get a few FAG related items while I'm at it.

>>6091956
I bought some excess water slides off this modeller, he had indigo jinrai's decal sheet last I checked. Animelab never sent out my faceplates so I'm refunding them.

>>6092207
I ordered my faceplates from the same guy but it didn't arrive yet ;_;
Been stuck at "Arrived at post" for a week

>>6092214
At least he sent out your shit, I should have taken the time to chat with him

This manga is destroying my expectations of the girls

Why is baselard smiling? Why is stylet not 200% smug all the time?

>>6092238
>Why is baselard smiling?
Because welcome to Fumikane "i want to draw girls with deadpan faces and thousand yard stare" Shimada, they probably forced him to design Stylet with a smug face at gunpoint. I dont want to think what they threatened him with to make him design the alternate shit eating grin face for Innocentia

>>6092207
Link? I've been looking for extra decals>>6092214

>>6092249
Weren't Innocentia and Hamburger done with someone else on board? I didn't think he had full say in those.

>>6092238
Really wish I could get the RAWs for that but the thing's IP locked on Comic Walker and Comp Ace isn't one of the magazines people scan on a regular basis.

>>6092280
Innocentia is made by Fumikane
Hresvelgr is made by E-ji

Precisely, I wanted a deadpan thousand yard stare pouty baselard. Its like the difference between Yuu and Ro

>>6092298
Weird, Innocentia is a huge departure from his normal style, then. I mean, she even has tits. I wonder if someone managed to find a gun in Japan they held to his head after all.

>>6092311
It's not like he never draws boobs, he just prefers perflats.
