to reply to >>6149287→ have some ideas you could try.
1] you coyuld do what one guy did with a busou shinki and use a 1/144 scale gundam 00 leg [pic related].

2] the gundam AGE Razor mod kit has legs that [with jury rigging a connecting peg to connet the two together]

I placed Yda's head on the MD body but I feel her head's a wee bit too small for it. Any thoughts? Should I try a different Shinki head?

>>6149915
I want both, ackshually.
I wanted to give Gourai Materia's legs and arms and Stylet some Architect-like mechanic legs.

>>6149986
How does blue stuff works? Do you press it to get the shapes out or you need to pour liquid plastic like you would with a normal resin mold?

>>6150207
Well, shit, that's great.
I'll wait for it to [you can not]hit mandarake[spoiler on /toy/] to give Gourai some legs and leave Innocentia barefoot.

Now I'll have to think what gendum I can get for cheap to give Stylet robot legs.

>>6150162
Yea, I'll go fix the body up once I've decided which Shinki to upgrade. It's between Tempesta and Yda but really leaning on Yda since she's MMS1.

Okay, I asked this on the gunpla general but the reply was weird.

I've started considering getting a IBO kit, the 1/144 "first appearance" Barbatos, to use as prosthetic legs for my Stylet. The peg connecting the upper thigh to the lower thigh on each leg has a 3mm diameter and the legs it comes with are 2.6 inches long, but I guess you're all familiar with the sizes on FAGs.
Anyways, is the 1/144 Barbatos apt for it?

>>6150391
I've seen a picture of an Oorbellen with Barbatos' legs with blue accents before, but for the life of me I can't find it. Now I regret not saving it.
Also, i have the 1/144 Barb and it's a really fun kit. It's so posable.

Wanna hear something funny? Femminists fucked with the gynoids wikipedia entry as part of their "storm wikipedia" fuckery.

It's not funny.

>>6150859
The treatment of gynoids in fiction has been seen as a metaphor for misogyny, as in the film Blade Runner, in which all three of the important female characters are gynoids, two of whom use their sexuality to attempt to manipulate or kill the protagonist Rick Deckard, often using sexualised imagery, such as when Pris attempts to strangle him between her thighs. Daniel Dinello writes that the violence with which the gynoids are treated represents Deckard's hatred of women. The third gynoid, Rachael, acts as a submissive female, even after Deckard "virtually rapes her."[5] Thomas Foster writes, about the novel Dead Girls by Richard Calder, that the technological bodies of gynoids depict sexism in an unnatural context, highlighting its negative impact. They also show that stereotypes and societal attitudes will not necessarily be altered through technological progress.[26]

Japanese anime and manga both have a long tradition of female robot characters. The artist Hajime Sorayama is particularly influential, with his "sexy robot" images, found in his collection The Gynoids (1993).[27] These pieces depict primarily females with metallic skin. Some may interpret "gynoid" art as comments on gender and sexual conventions, and race, by highlighting the "whiteness" of the traditional pin-up girl.[28] The sexualised images of gynoids have also been interpreted as fetishisation of the female body, racial differences, and/or technology.[29]

Not quite on topic, sorry, but there's no dollhouse thread up right now.

Planning on making a basement dungeon diorama, but I'm having a bit of trouble deciding on the floor. I like pic related for the wall, and was originally planning on just cement flooring, but I don't know if that will clash a bit with the wall. But I think going with stone flooring along with walls might make the room a bit too fancy or castle-ey instead of the 'makeshift torture dungeon' look I want. The other option is cement floor and wall, but I think that might look a bit too boring. Any suggestions?

>>6151487
Dirt floor.

>>6151487
Try a flagstone flooring for like a dollhouse patio. The broad, uneven stonework would be a nice and distinct contrast to the walls.

With a grimey paint scheme, a gloss coat to simulate moisture and a drainage grate it could work .

That's a good idea and would be very easy with cement and a bit of styrene strips. It'd be a bit harder to manage and might look a bit too nice if I go with flagstones though.

>>6151487
if your willing to do some work Hirst Arts Fantasy Architecture have a rang of doungen floor that you make by casting plaster molds ad producing them to the amount you need.
Its mainly geared toward the 28mm miniature rang of figures but if its a floor you need some of them might look right for you.

Not really. It's whatever the main dye is, which varies from model to model. Additionally, the hips are usually dyed in a different colour from the main body.

If you're into sculpting and painting, toss one on the forehead so you can remove the visor. That'd be neat.

>>6154410
You mean for Stylet? That could be doable or it could be messier than I thought.

If I want to modernize Stylet with newer body parts, what were the old engineering problems it had? (Of course, there's the matter of making a new cloth skirt)

>>6154414
The ankles were my biggest gripe. She had zero mobility there.

>>6154396
Wait, were you the same guy translating the sheet for the FAG faces?

>>6154414
Her wrists are the old type, which had a ball joint on the hand plugged into a socket on the wrist. Stylet's are a bit less loose than Gourai's, but it still means she doesn't have nearly the range of wrist movement that the triple joint on Materia onward allows.

Her ankles, as >>6154423 noted, are fairly lacking in mobility, though it's not bad by comparison to the wrists.

The hips I think are the old type, though they've been playing around with those to try various designs from the looks of it. Probably fine to leave them as they are unless you're unsatisfied with the range of movement.

If you're especially ambitious, you could replace the skirt with a cloth one.

It's your kit dude, if you build it and are happy with it that's all that matters. Some people like the look of a painted figure, or want different colors or to do customs, so theoretically yes, paint is necessary for those.

If you're intimidated by the materials list for airbrushing, handpainting is also an option and is a lot less resource intensive. It just takes more time in my experience.

Those really don't exist other than in edge cases. You can always whash the colour off plamo and start over again.

>>6154576
FA Girls look fine without paint, though Stylet needs some on her wing blades if you want them to be blue and black. I also typically do some painting to add bodysuits, but if you're fine with them being a bit more lewd then you should be fine going without paint.

Most are a-okay without being painted. However, painting them makes them stand out a lot more. I compare my blue Materia who has been detailed with my pink Materia which has just been put together without any painting, and the differences are pretty stark.

>>6154636
Yeah, I've been struggling to make it through Stylet. Finding cooperative weather and time have not been helping.

I've no idea where you got this. There is only one green stuff: Kneadatite blue/yellow Epoxy Putty.
Different sellers usually just repack it.
Tacky and hard can be acheived varing the blue/yellow percentage in the mix.

The break is right under one of the knee pegs. Broken one on the left.

>>6155890

I actually had a similar thing happen to my Architect when I was putting her together, only with one of her elbow joints. I put the peg in the hole on her upper arm and rotated it a little bit to see if I would need to apply future or whatever, and the whole goddamn peg twisted right off.

You should be able to pin that shit back on, and cement the fucker in place. Maybe sand down either the peg or the hole so that it moves smoother and doesn't put as much stress on the piece.

Oh man, alright. Some good news there is that JPN-Depot got back to me, pic related. Seems like they're open to it. I'm pulling in some outside help for the order sheet, but (fingers crossed) I'll get that done today. I can at least read the order sheet better than the VLOCKer's girl picture, haha

>>6155890
That's a repair that will take some plasticard to stabilize the pieces and thin poly cement to weld them. And then about a week of rest so that the weld can mostly harden.

Probably, I've only been into plamo since summer 2016, and I've lived pretty heavily in Bandai and Koto circles.

I don't know enough about the language to be able to pick out which symbol is what from a blurry picture

But hey I mean actually, if you're around when I post the sheet translation, would you mind checking it? Especially for the addresses

>>6156015
What is there really to translate? The top is the address where the middleman will fill and the bottom has each runner piece with the quantity you want then the subtotal price for those. You can use the runner guide in the instructions to see what each piece is.

Specifics, one thing I found out was that you can't order more parts than are included with the kit, as per the sheet.

Pic related, this is what I have so far, I don't think the address in the upper right corner is right, but I can't get anyone I know to check it until probably Wednesday. Other than that this seems more or less accurate to me.

>>6156277
Also, someone I talked to mentioned that if I'm mailing a letter to Japan, I'd need to write the address in romanji if it was coming out of the U.S. I don't know how mailing money would work, if I'd need to get USD converted to yen or if I can just send USD.

>>6155867
Does this say it drops tomorrow? Oh man oh man, I'm so ready. I held off on buying two of her initially but this is absolutely justifiable. Thanks, anon!

You could theoretically buy an already-built, painted one, but those are hella pricey.

Thanx anon. I was curious about how did you do the two halves.

>>6156353

Huh. Green Stuff, you say?

How durable is this shit when it hardens? Is it comparable to resin? Because sometimes I end up needing to cast small things like that shoe there and I don't feel like going to all the trouble of making pour molds.

>>6156397
Not him, but I've a long experience with gs and sculpting epoxies in general.
>How durable is this shit when it hardens?
It is durable. Obviously depends how much stress put it on it.
>Is it comparable to resin?
Not even close. GS is a bit gum-like compared to other materials. There are ways to make it less elastic but more prone to breaking, or more elastic, but gummy.
Green Stuff is like the 4x4 of the sculpting clays, being good for any job, but perfect for none. One of it's strong points is it's cheap and easy to find in stores.

>>6156397
Its kind of rubbery. Seems durable. Never used resin.

I made a chest plate and although it fits, the arms slide out when you move them too much. It doesn't feel solid like plastic.

>>6156421
>>6156412
How does green stuff compare to other brands of epoxy putty? In my personal experience, epoxy has been such an ever-present tool for other non-delicate uses I never really stopped to think about brands.

>>6156509
See >>6155803.
Keep in mind ellow part tends to cure over time and becomes grainy in some spots which dosen't mix well. Even if the more you buy the less you pay, refrain to stock large amounts in your home if you don't plan to use it all.

>>6156538
*yellow part

>>6156509
The epoxy I used on the shoes comes from Spain (Green Stuff World's ebay), included with the Blue Stuff as a pack. On my country there's a cheaper epoxy putty but it cures very very hard and its too brittle on thin parts. So I would say there are differences.

>>6156551
I've tried many, and in my experience most of its problems comes with aging.
If you buy somewhere which doesn't restock often, you may incur in a "bad" one.

>>6156892

>>6156917
I should clarify, blonde is the Hresvelgr=ater FAG which is the normal release, the one with clear parts and 3 extra faceplates is the exclusive.

>>6156892

>>6156892
They played me, and yet I'm still going to buy one. Like hell I'm preordering anything that doesn't make me rip my pats to get at my wallet in the near future though. I feel betrayed.

20 bucks of official decals just disappeared into the air. Thanks SAL, fuck me. They're all sold out now too.

So if a kit comes with 1 blank face, you can't order more than 1 blank face?
That pretty much kills using this method then.

>they played me

You people are blind if you didn't see this coming from a mile away and doubly retarded if you feel any betrayed for it. It's fucking Kotobukiya. Their main thing is recolors, we've seen them release recolors immediately after releasing the main colorway with how they released Jinrai and Indigo version Jinrai. On top of that, Hresvelgr Ater is one of their more popular Frame Arms kits. It was going to happen and you being blind idiots doesn't equate Kotobukiya somehow betraying you.

>>6156892
>not getting all of them

These things are spaced apart far enough and inexpensive enough.

>>6157467
I'm blind? Problaby. I don't know why you are so triggered by our posts and take it on personal level tbqh. Maybe you work at Kotobukiya, who knows?
If we can't even vent some frustation here I don't know what ll come next..

>>6157485
No, its just retarded to blame others for your own lack of foresight

>>6157493
Nevermind the fact the kit releases in June. That's five months from now.

>>6157467
Yes, because expecting everyone to know sales figures and lurk Twitter 24/7 is a reasonable thing. I never even see the Ayer mentioned around these parts. You are right on Koto and the recolor issue, but only even announcing the new colors immediately after another release will not stop striking me as a shitty thing no matter how many times it's done.

>>6156892
>Hahaha early adopters BTFO

Why btfo? More girls, more fun, what's not to like?

>>6157507
Your own ignorance doesn't justify assigning malevolence to the announcement of recolors from a company that's been doing that since conception.

Luckily, Koto doesn't simply release recolors, there are enough differences in each variant to justify buying more than one of the same family.

Besides, Hres=Ater isn't a new thing, nor are the 5 million baselard variants/derivatives.

Wrong. The malevolence is there regardless, ignorance just means I didn't know it was there so it stings more when I find out. It's shitty and I don't like it but I do know now so I can be on the lookout.

Oh, fuck off. I'm going to bitch about a company that makes a habit of springing things on their customers for extra dosh, the practice stinks to high heaven

>>6157604
imo it sounds like a tooling issue. Since the Hres body probably wouldn't be reused for future designs, and with no new fags on the horizon other than the poofy twintails that doesn't even have a prototype, rather than have an idle factory or spending the time and money to swap out toolings, it'll be more efficient to just push out a Hres variant

>>6157604
They didn't spring anything on you retard. It doesn't come out for another five fucking months.

>>6157632
>They didn't spring anything on you
retard. It doesn't come out for another five fucking months.
And they told us about its existence two fucking days ago, dumbass. Conveniently, that's about a week after the normal variant released and that's springing things on me.

>>6157617
That's a reasonable train of thought and I don't actually blame them for making the most of their resources. My issue is the timing. Decisions like this don't happen overnight and there is no way they didn't know they were doing this at the absolute minimum two or three weeks ago when we still could've changed or canceled our orders or last minute shoppers could've had notification to wait. Had this happened months later I would've bemoaned them not making up their minds faster, but I wouldn't be as miffed about the situation. Like this you know they waited intentionally until we were stuck with the original variant.

At least they've been kind enough not to make the exclusive colors the best ones (at least in my opinion) so far.

>>6157768
Just go sell your purple Hresvelgr and sit out while everyone else enjoys having both. The only one bitching about "MALEVOLENT BUSINESS PRACTICES" is your paranoid self.

Can we quit the bitching for one minute and take note of this thing in regards to the clear parts for Ater?

Looking at the blog, it says they added polarized plating to the clear parts for Ater which looks shinier and nicer but has the downside of making parts thicker so they had to rework the molds somewhat for her compared to the original Hresvelgr. I don't think I've ever run into anything like that so far in gunpla or other plamo, has anyone else?

Shit, I wish I had the uncolored clear parts for Hresvelgr. I'd repaint her to look like Altines to go with this Ater.

>>6157808
So..what's the difference? I don't get it.

>>6157834
I can't help you if you are blind

>>6157808
What exactly is polarized plating, and is there any way for me to emulate that effect at home?

>>6157840
>is there any way for me to emulate that effect at home?
Painting

>>6157842
Kill yourself my friend. Obviously I'm asking what kind of material I should be spraying at my plastic part to get it to look like that.

>>6157840
There's a type of prismatic paint that emulates the effect.

>>6157808

There's nail varnish that gives nails that look, i remember a lady using it to give her Qubeley a nice look.

>>6157808
There's a few kits that are plated such as MG/RG strike freedom, Unicorn's, Hi-nu's, and yes, the parts get thicker and I've seen a lot of people break parts because of that. (Especially RG strike freedom's wing)
But this is the first time I've seen a company actually make a whole new mold just to put coating on it.

>>6158282
Is it that uncommon? Lots of people seem to like stockings/pantyhose and the like, right? They can't all be foot fetishists too.

Got my Megami kit in the mail today. First kit of this kind but I couldn't pass up on the qt cat girl. I also went for it as I usually hear that many people enjoy the building and figured that if I ever run into any other designs I like this was a good starting point. I even went and put in orders for some other kits that piqued my interest. Gonna go start putting her together so guess I'll check in again later.

>>6158426
Just ask for something that will give nails a nacre finish or ask your mom/sister/girlfriend/wife about it, about the thinner i'm sure enamel thinner will do.

Be careful with that T bar in the hips and the bottom of the feet that support the toe joint. If you have the know how, you should probably pin those portions of the kit.

That said, it's completely unnecessary for the thighs now that they come with much better ABS joints. As for the wrists, that's up to you, but personally I think the shoulders are a bigger issue when it comes to holding heavier objects.

I'm hoping to write up a specific tutorial on that and a few other points I pinned on my Assault, but I haven't had much time to lately.

For making your own Megami Device Battle Points charts. I forking this and translating it but that seems to break something within github despite it working perfectly fine on my desktop, so I gave up on it. If anyone can fork it and host it from their own repo, please by all means.

Just replace the terms on the left with the terms on the right:
近距離戦闘 = Close Range
中距離戦闘 = Mid Range
遠距離戦闘 = Long Range
装甲・防御 = Defense + Armor
重量 = Weight
稼働時間 = Active Time
隠密 = Covert Ops (or Stealth, if you prefer)
索敵 = Recon
空中機動 = Air Mobility
地上機動 = Ground Mobility

It does seem to me that Innocentia comes with toeless feet, you could potentially get into recasting and cast some psuedo-socks.

>>6159265
An anon earlier in the thread mentioned that Stylet has pretty limited posability in her ankles, and Materia's wrist joints break pretty easily, so watch out for that. Those are the two main things I can think of.

>>6159132
Yes

Those are missing like the bottom half of the foot in order to make it easier to fit into doll shoes. Not really meant to be used bare.

My poor wallet, she reminds me of Graffias, my second favorite shinki, so if she looks promising (or even gets a kit) I'll be pretty tempted

Hey, that's pretty good. Can't wait for that giant hands set. Part of me wants to go full Strength with my catgirl MD, but I think they'll look better on Gigantic Arms.

>>6159540
Thanks for the head up anon.

>>6158969

Gavotte you're such a faggot.

>>6158558

In addition to Hres's weapons, or instead of them?

>>6159875
Instead of, probably.

Ah. Aight, I'll probably just end up buying them both since there seem to be enough differences to warrant it.

>>6159894
So I'm building a suit a bit like >>6158746, but it has platform boots and thus needs feet. I was looking at using spare Architect frame feet, but they don't fit correctly into the spot I want. Now I'm considering either Extend Arms 01 or the leftover legs from a Kagatsuchi with the Extend Booster. Maybe the feet from the Booster itself if they're compatible. Anyone have relevant experience with these?

>>6159265

Stylet has a lot more small details that need to be painted if you want her to look like the sample art/promo pictures than most other FAGs i've seen.

>>6160039
Hresvelgr looks pretty detail-intensive too. can anyone that's build her confirm?

That's all the pros a man needs. Fucking SOLD!

>>6160096
>>-can't do stormtrooper team ups with multiple Hres

I think that's plenty balanced out by Hres sisters.

>>6160146
Nah, that's like a bunch of named (albeit not main) characters vs. a ton of faceless mooks with horrifying aim.

>skip basebunny because too many FA:GS and too many orders but kinda regret it.

So i finished building my Megami last night. Feeling pretty good about it though I do think that the point where the arms connect is a bit too tight since whenever i try to twist the bicep part it pulls off the entire arm. It might just be me since I'm new to these but pretty happy with how she turned out.

>>6160185
>Someone please tell me she's gonna be regularly available
Stalk Manda and pray. I did order the LE because those colors are amazing, I just hope the magazine is worth the fucking shipping weight.

Red Baselard is a magazine exclusive. Red Hres hasn't been announced yet, but she'll probably end up going for something like a November release.

Apologies for the confusion man. I only took a few pictures as I finished her pretty late so I intend to take some more a bit later.

>>6160551
>So that's a no then?
Probably not. You'd piss off current buyers and make future ones shy away if you made a habit of re-releasing "limited" figures. What you'll want to do to get one is, as mentioned, watch Manda, but also F5 ALL of the stores on release day and a few days after to see if anyone cancels/refuses payment. There are usually a few that go back up this way and if you're diligent you might get lucky.

>>6160735
If all that fails, there's Buyee.
