***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.

Are there any pictures floating online of the Plamax Gipsy Danger put together OOB like we had for Cherno?

Painted nail or paint accident? Curious.

>>6121505
It's a 1/72 kit I think, basically pg size. Cheaper toys have done hand rotationso on smaller scales.

So I'm buying from Mandarake for the first time and I was wondering how fast the SAL small packet shipping is. I'm assuming it's the slowest since it's cheap, but HOW slow?

>>6121590
Its 1/100, but the zeong is fuck-huge.

Stickers were a bitch, MA mode is neat, even if the arms are prone to falling apart. Modern SD Sazabi for size comparison.

>>6121634
Just as slow/fast as any SAL shipment from Japan, if you have experience with that. Living in west coast burgerland, it usually takes about two business weeks to get to me, sometimes faster. Most of the time spent is waiting for it to reach the states; I can't speak about other nations' postal service, but once it clears customs it very quickly gets to me.

First time getting into painting and I don't mean to blogpost, but it's just such a weird feeling not fully putting parts together and saving the individual limbs in bags, rather than just putting everything together as I go.

I'm really glad I can be lazy with sanding though.

Doing my first topcoat ever and didn't see this in the guide. Should I do water slide decals before or after the topcoat? Doing clear matte finish

Just finished the red astaroth and I fucking love both of them, but why do they have such retarded hip and shoulder armour? I think they look way better without them.

Does anyone have pictures of the Hugo custom that looked like a metal gear? Thanks

>>6122716
Yes ma'am. I'm using a can of Testors Spray Lacquer I got at my local Gundam/hobby shoppe.

I'm boned, am I?

Oh well, gives me an excuse to get the MG (and not fuck that up).

>>6122703
This is why I use sharpie for panel lining. Sure it's poor mans gundam marker and noob tier panel lining, but at least it doesn't bleed

>>6122716
>>6122703
I'm assuming it's inadvisable to go over it again with the pen, right?>>6122703

>>6122777
You could put the lines back in with pen but that wouldn't get rid of the smearing. If you want to fix this you'd really have to strip everything off and reline THEN topcoat again with a different spray.

It appeared in Island Wars. What's the problem, other than >Super Fumina?

So I remembered seeing some mods for the FAGs and thanks to the power of google translate I've managed to find some

I don't understand the one with the gourai/stylet style hip joint and the stylet chest piece though, can someone who understand moonrunes explain
https://www65.atwiki.jp/fagirl/pages/13.html

Did anyone get the Hobbystar Harute? Is there any reason to get it over the resin kit, besides the fact that it's not resin?

Are the details just as sharp as ML's original? Does it feature everything? Including the GN scissor bits?

I ended up making nubs because elongated pointers would look strange

>>6122907
Which gourai hip one?

The one at the top looks like they used third party joint parts (Wave?) and a clipped piece of runner to make a new hip joint. No idea what that's about.

The one a little further down with the gourai in the schoolgirl outfit doing a high kick is to fix the problem Gourai had where the one thich popped off notoriously easily by using Bandai hgbc Bolden arms parts and hollowing out the old socket to replace it with the bandai one.

>>6123235
Yeah I got one second hand in a trade, the torso was part built, but was easy to dismantle.
I'd recommend you get one of the resin ones, like the Mersa one.

I'll probably go see the Gundam Statue at Diver City in Odaiba on my next Japan trip in February before it's taken down.
Aside from building a few RG kits I have no idea about the franchise or Gunpla on a larger scale. Is there any kit (preferably 1/144) that's really worth buying from Gundam Front Tokyo?

>>6123391
i bought the odaiba version of the megasize

exclusive clear colour/recolour/titanium versions and a gatchapon machine that had silver badges of every gundam head

dont forget the gundam front museum too

Will I still be cool if I skip the normal Asshimar to get the Green Divers version instead?

Post your Gunpla based nightmare fuel. Pic related.

>>6122844
I don't see what's so unusual about it. This is the sort of shit that's made to be an exclusive - an old kit cast in new colors with one or two additional runners of new parts. The real question is who the hell is foolish enough to buy a Super Fumina variant of any sort.

>>6123391
I'm also going there in february, but I haven't lookd into it much yet. I imagine they sell p-bandai shit there, though. Can anyone confirm?

>>6121634
SAL is pretty much "we'll stick it on a flight when there happens to be enough space in the hold." Sometimes that only takes a couple of days, sometimes that takes more than a month, but the average is around two weeks.

>>6121394
Nothing yet. That Schizophonic blog uploaded pictures of their OOB Cherno build a couple of days after release, so I imagine they'll do one for Gipsy any day now.

>>6123429
I just finished putting stickers on my MK II and it was much easier than I expected. The zaku seems to have less of them too.
I wish the clear part of the stickers didn't stand out that much though.

>>6123441
Titans though. Titans ueber allem!

>>6123488
RG I take it? Titans or AEUG? I suppose I can eventually do the stickers, but it seems like such a job, need better tweezers as well.

>>6123544
Yeah, RG titans version. I personally just do it with my knife.

>>6123545
I could try that. Last kit I did I managed to lose one sticker and ruin another. Makes me a bit nervous to work with that many stickers. Might just put it off and build my Sazabi, when I should be doing other things at that.

bro imagine all of those were metal and required folding and gluing

For line markers is there an equivalency I could potentially buy at a hobby shop as opposed to ordering the specific ones off say Gundamplanet or Amazon or wherever?

Sorry if this is a stupid question or I skipped over it in the guide by mistake.

>>6123561

>>6123429
That was the second kit I built.

One of the pins holding the spring on the leg tubes snapped off when I tried to push it into its socket. Managed to fix it with superglue.
The waist snapped when I tried to push it into its socket. Manage to fix it with plastic cement.
And then I lost a bead for the head tubes and couldn't find it again. Left one out at the other side so it's barely noticeable now.
Lost the no. 7 stickers - they stuck at an akward angle and then catapulted themselves away. Cut out new squares from the overprinted areas.
And the stickers for all that small raised detail looked terrible because the margins stuck out super noticeable, so I just left them off. Who the hell designed that idiotic shit?

And does anyone know how much kits would the small rattle blue Mr Top Coat last?

>>6123429

I put the stickers on the back of its knee and seeing how briefly they lasted, I just haven't put any of the stickers except for the mono-eye.

>>6123877

As for breakages, I haven't had any. I did almost lose a bead from the face-tubing though and it gave me a scare. The stupid thing is that there are spares for the other beads on other parts of the body but not the tiniest ones on the head.

All in all, I was so scared of the RG Zaku II because of online opinions that I took extra care building it and it turned out nowhere near as bad.

Pretty cool overall. Unlike the Gipsy, he doesn't really have inner frame outside of the torso. Hands can be swapped between the closed fist and open hand with simple jointed fingers. Elbow only bens 90° though. Batteries and switch for the LED are at the top of the head and the cover is just held on by a battery cap.

Are the Z'Gok E and Hyggog any fun to pose? I like the designs, but looking at dalong, they seems rather stiff.

>>6124910
Well o course, I just meant I'd like to cover up the giant gaps.

>>6124463
zippo is a turpenoid and will embrittle bandai plastic so be careful when handling it after.

Needless to say, if you plan on playing with it, dont use zippo.

>>6124862

>>6124920
The zgok e is pretty fragile if memory serves, and the arms have limited articulation.

I don't have the physical thing to check sorry, i pulled it apart for scraps because i got tired of the arms falling apart.

Looking at getting the Wing Gundam Fenice and Meteor Hopper (Possibly Build Fighters on blu ray as well) for a family member who likes anime, but has never built Gunpla. Their first exposure to Gundam was Wing back in the day. Does this sound like a decent plan and decent gunpla choice?

>>6124953
I'm being extra careful, and I'm already mentally prepared for the worst if it comes to that.
Could you recommend stuff that works with Vallejo Wash? I know some people even use Zippo on Tamiya Line Accent.

>>6125112
>people even use Zippo on Tamiya Line Accent

Usually because they are using line accent on paint, which seals the plastic and prevents the solvent from attacking it.

Ive never used vallejo wash, I usually prepare my own artist oil washes so I'm not sure what would clean/ remove it.

>>6125097
Of course not.

>>6124859
Side by side size comparisons when

>>6125097
Only if they already have an interest in building models, otherwise just getting them to watch Build Fighters might be a good place to start. You can gauge their interest in the hobby from there.

most of these are first type of joint(used in kits with skirts mostly) pic related is what ive been looking into.
>>6122924
yeah they changed a bit but still give runners for both thigh types(not hips) because they fit to the same peg. this is mostly joint relief, in this case issue of too precise measures forcing more stress and friction as a result on stock. what they did was in simplest sense make it easy to pose and harder to break the peg.
rest is also on mostly relief and making it easier to disassemble.
>>6122958
two things. one both seem to be custom or molded there. purpose is for the same hip curve and size as the second type of hips. this allows for different clothes based off how the top looks.

Thanks mate! Learned something new today.

This comic bothers me every time I see it. If the bitch you want asks you a question like that, grow some balls and tell her. No wonder people don't get what they want.

But she doesn't like you anon.

>>6125288

Doesn't matter if she does or doesn't. If you don't have the balls to tell her when asked directly, you don't deserve her or anyone else. Who knows, if she knows you are interested, she might develop feelings herself.

Worry not, I wasn't trying to make empty compliments. The suit was the 'perfection' and you are 'perfecting' your ability to do it justice. I respect that.

Goodness knows I won't bother to do that with my first kit for a while, largely because it looks surprisingly good out of the box.

That depends, do you feel more in the mood for gun gimmicks or transformation gimmicks--ranged or melee?

Is the Cherudim the Designer's Color Ver? You may also want to get stands and effect parts for its 'bits'.
In the Kimaris Trooper's case, you may be tempted to pick up the Grimgerde along with it, but do you feel up for that?

I'll probably have to since it's unlikely the HMM Liger parts will work on an HG in any proportionate way. Still, at least I can practice paint and LED stuff on the YMS-08 Dom first before moving to MG.

What's the best-looking HG that has unobtrusive (ideally very few) stickers?

I recently built both the HG Turn A and the HG Unicorn Full Armor Destroy mode, and I found it extremely refreshing that they both used stickers *very* sparingly. They both look great just with some (extensive) panel lining and some minor paint (mainly the eyes).

So in any case, what're some good, non-stickery HG kits?

Out of curiosity, do you put your nippers as close as possible to the part when you snip them off the sprue? Cause that is usually the cause for gouges like I'm seeing here.

Well, it's official. Bandai has well and truly given up on inner frame detail. Not that this is anything new, the writing's been on the wall for a while now.

One of the early magazine reveals said it's based on the Gundam 2.0 frame. Not sure what you're surprised about. The arms and legs look like they're just the GM frame with junk attached to mount the extra armor. The Torso is new and looks like it's made to support an ab crunch.

quick thoughts on this thing:
- everything needs paint, as it comes molded only in black and white
- similarly, masking is a must for the front flap and the rear, as well as the turbines in the back
- every piece and section you want to attach needs superglue
- the canopy is clear plastic, painting it with clear blue is really hard to pull off if you are using a brush
- its comes with A SHIT TON of decals, I just used a few ones
- the wheels do spin!

Quick, name one better-looking or higher quality HG than the Full Armor Unicorn.

>>6127701
hg sinanju

>>6127701
Origin Char's Zaku II

>>6127701
Better looking, as in anime-look fidelity? Quality as in number of accessories or lack of seam-lining, good assembly design?
You need more precise criteria mate

>>6127701

The only thing that looks gaudier than that clusterfuck is the Blunderbolt kits with that backpack nonsense.

Katokifags have no standards, literally just "pile more useless shit on" the fanbase.

>>6127721
Better-looking as in not looking cheap and not being covered in crappy stickers like a bunch of other HGs.

I think the Unicorn works well mainly because 1) it has a very simple colour scheme, so it doesn't really require extra stickers, and 2) it has a fairly busy design, due mainly to the psycho frame breaking up the otherwise all-white armor. A bit of panel-lining also really adds to the kit's complexity, "making it pop."

I don't really know what I meant by higher quality, though.

>>6127737
Snuh?

>>6127739
In that case, I'd say I enjoy the Early Guntank. Simple but detailed design, and it manages to fit into the overall gundam aesthetic while being very different.

>>6127701
In my opinion? The Nu or Sazabi in terms of appearance. Red FAU looks a bit better in my opinion, but I am glad you really like yours, Anon.

>>6127701
Pretty much anything from the Origin or IBO line. They objectively beat the pants off of it in terms of detail, engineering, and price. Whether you like the actual look of them is subjective.

>>6127784
Armor detail is pretty sparse on most IBO robots, but I guess you can argue that the inner frame makes up for it.

>>6127737
The "put a bunch of shit on it" mentality is literally the point of these full armor kits. They're about excess.

I'd also hesitate to call it gaudy. It's only made up of four main colours, and the silhouette isn't really all that complex considering all the shit tacked on to its back.

As for the Thunderbolt kits (I'm assuming you're mainly talking about the Psycho Zaku), they're interesting given their in-universe explanation. The Zaku with its massive backpack and weapons arsenal is a sort of last-ditch effort in an ongoing arms race between Zeon and the Federation. It's a desperate ploy to combat the newly introduced Gundam, and the Zaku's gratuitous design alone demonstrates how terrifying and overpowered Gundams are -- I think it's a very successful design in this regard.

>Armor detail is pretty sparse on most IBO robots

Actually you would be surprised. The Graze and Shiden are probably the most bare, but stuff like Barbatos Lupus, Man Rodi, and a bunch of the others have a bunch of little panels and details on the surface armor. Not to the level of origin kits, but more than most HG had just a couple years ago.

>>6127790
I don't think that's the point at all, the FA Gundam in thunderbolt is just a ludicrously geared. It's just the aesthetic of that particular variation of the universe.

>>6127790
>The Zaku with its massive backpack and weapons arsenal is a sort of last-ditch effort in an ongoing arms race between Zeon and the Federation

Not exactly. The Brotherhood forces were breathing down the Zeon outpost's necks and had already attacked their ships directly, killing off most of their MS. Zeon reinforcements weren't going to arrive in time so they took the zaku frame they were using to test out the prototype reuse-P system on and loaded it up with pretty much every weapon they had hoping to save their necks and stall for time until reinforcements arrived. The system turned out to vastly outpreform their expectations. Originally Zeon barely gave a fuck about it.

>>6127812
>until now.
That's a Man Rodi anon.

>>6127799
Strangely enough, I never saw a panel lined Gusion until now. A lot of people keep them bare, for some reason. Thanks anon

>>6127814
>>6127815
Yeah I confuse the two of them all the time. Still didn't see it.

>>6127711
>>6127713
I'll probably end up getting the RG versions of these if I ever pick them up, just because the RGs seem to look a lot better (and I think they're more fun to build).

>>6127763
I'll definitely look into the Guntank. Vrey bizarre design, which appeals to me.

>>6127778
I was considering the Sazabi. And I'm a fan of the Green Full Armor, just because there's a nice contrast between the missile pods and the psycho frame. I'm bummed that the kit doesn't come with the javelin, though.

>>6127784
Thanks for the tips. Both these lines do look very tempting. I was considering the Barbatos, but there're a few disappointing aspects to it.

>>6127815

That's a Man Rodi.

Gusion has plenty of surface detail too though.

Like I was getting at before, Bandai has stepped up their game the past couple years in terms of surface detail on HG kits. I onder if them making star wars kits has anything to do with it?

>>6127822
I'd say probably. The FO stormtrooper is obviously plain due to it's designs, but the ships are crazy detailed.

>>6127382
Derringer be praised.

>>6127804
The Thunderbolt FA is so geared up because it's being used in a space with a shitload of debris.

>>6127811
Sorry, to be clear, the arms race I was referring to was specifically the one going on in the thunderbolt sector.

>>6127828
And the zeeks operate in the same space. Hence the crazy amount of thrusters and fuel tanks. That's still just an excuse to pile on as much shit as possible. Even the not-psycho Zaku still has a fuckton of equipment.

In the manga at least, that's just what the designs for all of them are like, not just the ones in the thunderbolt sector. The MS guarding and attacking A Baoa Qu are like that too and the zaku II used for operation british as well. We'll have to see how the OVAs for the second arc handle the designs, but in the earth arc a lot of the stuff still has things like joint covers at least.

anyone know where you can get replacement parts for a HG rx-78-3? I broke the front skirt part and I need a replacement.

>>6128132
Probably not. It has like an entirely different exterior armor than Man Rodi does which is too parts heavy for an option set and doesn't seem popular enough to get its own kit if a predominately featured protagonist suit like land rodi is being regulated to option set parts.

I'd rather have a spinner rodi anyways but that's never happening.

IBO Kimaris Trooper, IBO Astaroth, Origin Zeon suits are great to check out if you're looking for good looking, sturdy kits that look good only with panel lining and some sanding. I love the Unicorn HG Schuzrum Galluss but I would hesitate to include the Zeon suits from Unicorn HG line because of the stickers they need for the sleeves and black areas on the chest that are always somehow large swabs of stickers across curved surfaces. I'd rather have them charge me more for those kits and have more runner/separate color runners.

I have to say gunpla fans are more fortunate in terms of choice compared to toku fans.

I usually hate 'stack a bunch of shapes' on it but I don't mind the Thunderbolt designs at all. In fact, that's the only main Gundam design I've liked since the original RX 78 and the dark blue Titans Mk II

>>6128244
It's not mine. And I'm not entirely surprised at the thick paint job, the majority of that Rodi is 3D printed and the paint is covering up the very visible print lines.

I am praying so, so very hard. And I am not a religious person.

how does one install the LED units? given their odd outer shape, i figured they must twist and lock into place, but it looks like they just sit there under the neck. specifically asking regarding MG origin rx-78, the tab for the on/off switch snags a ridge in the torso making it a hassle to remove. have thought about glueing it in place

>RG Sinanju
don't
the HG is better by being much more solid and able to stand up

the RG version is a floppy mess

get pic related for thinning and use lighter fluid for clean up

>>6128438
Hmm. Good to know. I own the HG (unbuilt, but I own it) and was feeling tempted by the RG's gold chrome. At the same time though, I didn't like how mushy the sculpts were on the gold parts. They look thick and doughy. So along with the floppiness, I guess there's no real reason for me to go for the RG anymore.

Me and my girlfriend just finished our first gunpla models (HG Julieta's Reginlaze and HG Geirail) because we're starting Iron Blooded Orphans. We had fun putting them together, after doing a few more we're gonna move on to 1/100

Are these water transfers? They don't look like normal stickers.

>>6128576
Those are stickers, just clear backs.

>>6128576
Can you peel them off? They look like stickers anon. Try peeling the edge of the whole sheet to see.

>>6128568
Looks pretty neat, plan on painting?

Says right on the bottom, "marking decal" in katakana.

Waterslides are blue backing with no 'border' around the actual sheet. Also says 'mizu tensha shiki decal' on the bottom.

Marking seal, hurr

Liking unconventional mobile suit designs that aren't UC is suffering. I'd gladly trade the flood of HGBF retools and Seed RGs for some more G-Reco or Turn-A HGs.

Again, it's not mine, and it seems to be 95% 3D printed.

>>6128194
The leftermost is the RG MK-II. I'd highly recommend it. Looks great, feels great, fantastic engineering. All around great set.

>>6128438
The RG just looks significantly better than the HG, and it's not loaded with a bunch of crappy stickers. I'd gladly trade floppiness for a really fun build and a fantastic final look.

What Gundam markers would I use for cleaning nub marks for Gundam Thunderbolt? I'm new to Gunpla and was wondering which I would need for this Master Grade. Sorry if its obvious.

Bandai continue their attempt to usurp kotobukiya on the mecha musume front,and continue to fail.

Just finished this. Finally sat down and put on decals and stickers. Any way to stop the stickers from looking so.... stickery? With the clear box edges

Is this different?

>>6129193
The best way would've been to very carefully cut around the actual emblems so there'd be less "sticker" over all on the suit.
Then paint extremely carefully on the remaining border. Still, you'd be out of luck for what sticker was left being shiny, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

>>6130954
yes, his is the billion spark kit.

>>6129053
I like it. The only part that puts me off is the Fumina head.

You could kitbash this with a FAG's head and it would be pretty neat.

>>6128827
That's the high grade. Also,

>gundam markers

>>6128827
You could use real touch markers to clean up the discolored parts if you're just starting off. I recommend getting the zeon and federation sets. You get 12 markers and they're also good for panel lining.

>>6127106
>giving a fuck about the inner frame

If it improves articulation, I couldn't care less about the internal frame being sparce.

>>6131054
stick to your HG kiddy kits and leave the MGs to the adults.

The GM Sniper 2 uses a modified RX-78-2 2.0 frame for the legs and arms which is super detailed and also has a larger amount of construction with more functional such as pistons that retract in addition to having a 3 axis pelvic joint instead of a simple ball joint.

So yes, the RX-78-2 Ver 2.0 frame is better than the Nemo frame.

Honestly the only thing that Bandai could have done regarding the GM Sniper 2 is to make random ass cut outs on the shoulders inner frame and the front crotch armor inner frame like they did for the RX-78-2 Ver 2.0

The Nemo doesn't even have internal frame for the crotch armor or side armor, so those connection points are making it look more bare than it actually is. If you remove the crotch armor inner frame from the GM Sniper 2 frame along with the shoulder pads, it instantly looks just as detailed if not more so than the Nemo.
