Bout halfway done now. Dunno if I want a final gloss coat or flat coat with some very minor chipping. I'll have to decide on that once I get there though.

>>6226895
IMO semi-gloss would look pretty good here.

If I'm using acrylics for painting and enamels foe panel washes, should I buy Alclad's Aqua Gloss or Klear Kote? And what do I use to clean my airbrush after using it?

Klear Kote, though it's enamel. If you can get a Future or a lacquer top coat, that would be better.

Always use industrial grade lacquer thinner for cleaning.

----------------

here is my work in progress, run out of gloss. I want another coat on this

>>6227370
I thought it was lacquer. I guess I'll stick to the spray cans even though I would prefer to airbrush it.

>>6227375
Why can't you put a lacquer topcoat over acrylic? I've done it over tamiya and had no problems.

>>6227381
Anon who replied to me said that Klear Kote was enamel and i'd be putting an enamel wash over that. The cans I was talking about was mr topcoat.

>>6227384
Oh, was a little confused. I'm pretty sure you can decant Mr topcoat if you can't get lacquer topcoats readily

>>6227386
Either that or Aqua Gloss since it is more of an acrylic. I just don't trust when they say that water is all you need to clean your Airbrush.

Whenever I start feeling bad about my backlog pile, I just think about my uncle's basement.

Do I remove seamlines with cement while I am building my model or only after my model have been fully assembled?

>>6227519
depends. Probably easier to do most it while building. Rather than finishing and then having to try and pry parts apart.
Even though that's usually what I do because I like to see how it all looks before detailing it.

>>6227519
up to you.

I usually snapfit the entire kit first with some way to disassemble it easily. It's easier to plan your assembling and painting process with a completed physical model in front of you.

Now I'm wondering what to do build next, the backlog I had ever since last year is almost up, with only the following left:

Koto's MGS4 Rex was insane as far as the number of runners go. It had all the runners from the vanilla version (which was already a lot, like 20 or so), and then threw all the battle-damage parts on new runners (adding another 10 or so).

Looking dope. I started my Vidar the other day.

I'm working on painting my Schwalbe. I've got most of the frame primed, but I need another can of primer before I go any further. Kind of going for a ground type Schwalbe look. Gonna try to fit some of those extra Barbados 6th form parts on it and eventually weather it some.

I've got a Jesta and Sniper MGs in the mail. I'm thinking of giving them the Vidar's handguns and going full blown tacticool buddy cops with them.

Anyone got any pictures of metallic or high gloss inner frames? I'm curious what that would look like before I try it myself. I figure the frame would be unpainted metal if it was real life.

>>6227858
Yup, it's pretty much just a reissue of the original kit with a bunch of new runners tossed in for the damaged parts. The instructions only cover the damaged version, though, so you'll need to download the instructions for the regular one if you want to build the railgun.

>>6227786
I feel like the IBO lineup is gonna be your best bet, although a lot of the mobile suits from G-Reco would also fit the bill (the Mack Knife and G-Arcane come to mind).

MGs are like RGs only bigger.

There's nothing that different in terms of building any of the grades, putting together an RG is the same as putting together an HG only it takes more time and there's more parts.

MGs are the way to go though, much easier to detail, they look like actual models on display. Unless your just snapping them together then its whatever, I guess a competition of shelf space.

Char and Amuro look like they're about to drop the hotest colony of UC 0093.

Honestly though I took this photo to show the comparison of about three years of progress in my model making and painting. Finally airbrushing, shading, using Microsol and set etc. the difference to me is night and day. Gotta say I'm happy with it.

>>6228547
Looks great anon. Is that Sazabi a straight build?

>>6228551
Nah, it was painted with rattle can metallics, didn't turn out all that great imo, kinda want to do it all over again.

Should i donate my barbie lups to my hobby shop for them to display and buy a wolf king? The design really grew on me but i dont want similar kits taking up shelf space

>>6228234
Not that guy but i made the mistake of putting some of them on when i built mine. I was too afraid to scratch the finish trying to remove them so i ended up top coating with gloss and then flat to get the damn edges to blend in. Worked out ok and the edges are only viewable up close.

>>6228539
I'd much rather build an MG than an RG, the smaller scale but same/higher complexity make RGs a pain

>Nuka Graze guy knows how to take photos.
DOES he though? I don't see anything special or out of the ordinary about that photo. Like, props to him for actually going outside instead of another lightbox shot, but it kinda sucks in terms of framing and clarity. The best shots there in terms of clarity are Graze D.M. and Grimgerde. Both are adequately lit, clearly show the model with the majority in focus, and don't have distracting backgrounds.

I also give some points to the Graze Dreider photo. It's not great for this, because you want to be able to see all the details in a situation like this. I typically save shallow DOF for cinematic shots where people will already be familiar with the character or toy I'm photographing. But it's got a good feel to it nonetheless, and I like it personally. It's also probably my favorite build out of everything there.

>>6227370
That's a nice visual effect on the armor, what paints are you using for that?

>>6227381
I once sprayed Testor's GlossCoat over the MG 2.0's beam javelin tip that had been painted with Tamiya pink acrylic. Ate at the paint a little, mostly on the edges of the 'spikes' but ended up producing a nice look for it.

I can't decide which gundam is more weeb, Red Astray or Musha Gundam

>>6230083
Musha is on the same level as Sengoku Astray. The regular Red Astray is just a robot with a big weebsword.

>>6229902
I have no fucking clue, we were on an ancient version that was slow as piss and it was there when I started three years ago. We moved to WHD like a yearish later.

I'm going to be moving and won't have a permanent address for awhile. Finished backlog too.

You don't. You march down to the local hobby store and overpay for some shit locally. That's your penance for not properly arranging to get your fix the proper way.

>>6229537
Koto is still making HMMs, just at a snail's pace. I believe they even announced a new kit at WF just recently, but I don't recall which. Like another anon mentioned, they also do reissues of older kits from time to time.

>>6230192
A-are you being serious? I never thought of trying that before. I have tons of really pretty nail polishes.

>>6230192
Do you have to thin it somehow? I tried using it on a miniature long, long ago and it dried thick enough to obscure any detail.

lacquer thinner

>>6230308
>>6230306
>>6230301
Makes sense. Nail polish is lacquer based.

You can probably thin it with straight up acetone too, most lacquer thinners are acetone based anyways.

>>6230301
Oooooo, fancy. Are these dollar shop nail polish or?

>>6230311
yes
>>6230309
dont, acetone just glumps them up. don't know why but thinners leaves a smoother finish

>>6230313
Do you have to use retarder? For some reason I expect nail polish to dry too fast in an airbrush.

>>6230318
no retarders, though i use hobby grade thinners and it works just fine

Maybe I should use nail polish for lenses, that gold on the left looks good for visors

>>6230083
Musha is actually Japanese.

Red Astray is filthy gaijin who bought an inferior kiku ichi monji knockoff from China

Do you guys ever stop painting a project and start building a random kit you had lying around just because you're more in the mood to build than you are to paint?

>>6230374
take your time, enjoy it! Master Grades are really fun experiences, especially if you haven't built any inner-frame style kits before

>>6230339
All the fucking time, and like >>6230360, I feel terrible about it. I had a MG GM Sniper lying around half complete for literally three years because I was too lazy to build all the weapons and shit. I also have like 5 half completed HGs at the moment, and I'm about to start a 6th.

>>6230374
After experiencing the god-tier engineering of this kit, you may have ruined most all other MGs for yourself.

>>6229873

3 new kits are coming. One is a completely new kit (storm Sworder), one is a new armor variant of a previous kit(Sturm Tyrant, so kinda like the various armor options for Liger Zero), and then one completely resused mold in a new color style (Liger Zero Empire version).

aside from those new kits, I feel it is worth pointing out the number of reissues has started to thin down from the past year when they went into a frenzy.

>>6230301
>dat bronze with the slight patina effect around the edges.

Does that actually work well in real life? How obvious is the effect when moved around?

>>6230784
Kinda like borderlands cell shading. It always shows on the side. I havent used that one yet nor could think of any real life reference

>>6230780
That is tragic. HMM is probably the line I'm most interested in right now and I am hungry for new releases. What's more, I know there are shitloads of incredible Zoid designs waiting to be made...it hurts that the line seems to be winding down a bit.

>>6230784
Not him, but I know my nail polish. That's a multichrome, meaning the color will shift as the light hits it. And while I've never used it on a kit, it works great on nails. The effect varies depending on what kind of light you view it under though. The effect is pretty dull in my room, but out in sunlight the colors shift pretty wildly as you change the viewing angle.

>>6230339
way too dang often. I can say of the probably 7 kits I painted thus far, only one of them I can confidently say has been completely finished(granted there is a touch up here and there I need to fix eventually)

Worst part is one of them even is mostly unpainted except for detailing and some strips painted on and that still got left by the way side once I started looking at the waterslides.

Goddammit.

>>6230787
>>6230788
that is very very interesting. Not sure where I would use it as well on a kit, but I am in love with the effect.

>>6230788
I would not say the line itself is winding down, the number of reissues is but not the line itself. IIRC the resissues built up in momentum shortly before the release of Deathstinger which kicked off the start of the second wave/season/chapter/whatever kotobukiya was calling it after the first chapter ended in 2013.

Considering the fact death stinger released at the end of 2015, and we had no news of what was next until winter wonfes revealed PK Kong, and then after PK Kong we got Gojulas the Ogre, and that was it until this past wonfes. There we get two prototypes and a 'in the plans' for a total of 3 new things.

So I say the large number of reissues during that year or two was because they wanted to keep the interest going until the new stuff started to pick up momentum in releases. If we get another 2/3 kit reveals at Summer wonfes and continue like this for a couple years then hopefully I will finally get my Konig Wolf.

Separate. You can check ebay for them.

Hes missing a lot of peices actually. It's still a wip. Decaling the legs and waiting for some metal parts to come in tomorrow. It should be wrapped up by next week or so.

Thanks man, also when it comes to buying them are they all one size or do I need to specifically find a 1/100 LED unit?

Pretty sure the 1/100 ones are a bit generic, it's if you go to buy the PG 00 or Unicorn ones that it's specific I believe.

>>6231004
>amigo
My fellow gentleman of refined taste. Truly a shame the thing seems underappreciated. I really do hope they release an HMM of it with the option parts from the start, or at least the DSRs.

Maybe if it sells really well, they might ask Tomy if they can release an HMM of the prototype designs they had for Konig CAS parts like the Liger Zero and Fuhrer. Would love to see them being allowed to get creatuive and create an entirely new CAS for it too.

>>6231403
I had no idea the konig was supossed to get CAS parts, that's pretty sweet.

>>6231414
yeah, there were some other similar things that never got made that were revealed at some WonFeses during the decline of Zoids. THink Redler was meant to have some kind of upgraded varient.

Newbie here, my friend just gave me my first dose of plastic crack and I'm looking for more. Where do you guys generally buy your kits?

Said friend just uses Amazon because he's got that free Prime 2-day shipping.

I'd like US based places on the east coast because I'm an impatient bastard. Also, is there anywhere in particular to stay way away from?
Are bootlegs a problem with gunpla?

File: Mock detail.jpg (145KB, 1400x974px) Image search: [Google]

145KB, 1400x974px

I'm stumped on part of a build. I am trying to show the cockpit I'm adding to this Mock, but I want to cover portions of it so it only shows the important mechanical elements, which I highlighted in the photo. I tried using Aves epoxy putty by attaching it to the edges and sanding it to the right shape but I'm guessing it doesn't grip/harden correctly because while sanding it always cracks. This is even though I've been told it should cure rock hard, and have tested some consistencies with the same result. I have plastic sheets too, but then they would need to bend. I intend to glue the clear green over the details so it shows through while not being exposed, sort of like a plane canopy.

Do I have to glue the epoxy putty to where it is staying? I feel there's some element I might get eventually, but maybe someone else here already knows that I'm screwing up somehow.

>>6232499
East coast? if you are reasonably close to a big city like New York, there are usually stores there that would carry gunpla. Otherwise, Hobby Town USA and Barnes and Nobles for a marked up price on most of the kits. If you rather not pay the extra ten dollars then you can still get free shipping with amazon prime without being a member, it just takes 5-8 days.

You may scoff at that wait time now, but the further you descend into this hobby, the more you will realize how convenient and cheap that is compared to other import kits. Especially if you try ordering P-Bandai stuff.

Looks like Neo Zeon has veen doing some secret shit

>>6232519
The problem with epoxy putty is that it has no elasticity to it - it'll stay rock-hard and grip solidly provided it's on a completely still, stable surface. But styrene has a little bit of give to it, so when you're putting pressure on the part by holding it still while sanding, it bends just enough to keep the cured epoxy from sticking to them (either cracking or sliding off in a single piece). So what you need to do is find ways to sand the piece while putting a bare minimum of pressure on it - get inventive with tweezers or clips, use a sanding sponge, what have you.

>>6232706
>And with this Neo Neo Neo Neo Axis Mars Zeon will finally topple the Federation!

>>6232710
That just seems impossible, I would need to take off excess of which there would be lots on a large-ish area like a torso cover. And I'd need to cut out a portion of the epoxy putty to show the green clear plastic. Would maybe building a thin styrene base glued onto the sides work and then putting over that to build a slight foundation? Because otherwise this doesn't seem feasible. The only time this putty hasn't cracked was when sticking it into a large creavce that allowed it to have the suppoort of the piece under it, like gap filling. But this is like trying to get the durability and thin element of styrene with the curve of putty using just putty, and then from there cutting into it.

I mean, there are example qwith figures and gundam models of whole parts built solely from putty, this doesn't feel like it wouldn't ever work.

Such an awesome looking GM and made me think they were going to have her go against the odds with a mere grunt unit.

>>6233445
the gm cardigan was barely new though, take a powered gm & a couple of armor pieces and call it a new suit. They spent way longer on the ez-sr team which got 1 episode too.

>>6232519
I think you need to pla plate it. Calipers, some steel protractor, and a T-rule will do wonders in producing cuts.

>>6233156
>At least
They haven't done anything at all.

>>6233174
>Black sclera
I'd be all over that. Of course, then I'd want some skin color variants too, but that should be doable with rattle cans if one really wanted.

slight edit to eye because it wasn't visible in the original photo, but I feel some BWOOM always can help on monoeyes

>>6233381
It does look really cool with a blacklight shining on those flame parts though

Something about the blurryness makes it look like a 3D render

Already posted this on /m/ bit figured I'd post here too. Just put together my first painted model, the original HGUC Gouf. It's not perfect but I'm proud of my first endeavor into paintjobs.

>>6233788
I like it.

>>6233803
Sweet, thanks. It's painted by airbrush with Tamiya acrylics and flat coated with Future that has been made into a flat coat with Tamiya flat base mixed into it.

>>6233445
yeah that too. Maybe I need to go back and watch or at least skim through both series for a proper comparison, but I really feel that one of the bigger flaws of that sequel has got to be not giving all the various enemies whose suits actualy got kits their porper due. First series I recalled a lot more buildup and actual scenes of them fighting in episodes before when they actually fight the MCs.

But again I fully admit I need to refresh my memory before I start spouting that opinion like some sperg lord.

>>6233854
meant to reply to >>6233460

Not sure if anyone saved them or if that anon is still around, but some time ago some one posted I believe a Canon Tortoise painted ion wargamming miniature style, along with a couple ofther models done similarly. Anyone happen to have the images? Lost all my saved images of paint jobs when I reformatted.

Isn't there an expo this weekend? When do the reveals come in?

Hey guys! Long-time creep, first time poster. Just thought I'd get in on the fun and post my collection real quick :) almost all of them are WIPs, either not having any paint yet or in the process of being painted.

Got my Vidar panel lined for the most part. Gonna do some gold and silver on some of the weapons and frame parts before I topcoat.
How's it looking so far?

Shit, ignore the trip. I use it on another board.

Fuck, broke a piece. What type of glue should I use? Hobby Glue seems expensive to fix this, are their cheaper alternatives.

>>6233869
It was on the 8th. Nothing new besides a Gelgoog recolor or something iirc

>>6233938
Super glue.

>>6233943
Is super glue recommended also for securing pieces that keep falling off? The Vidar's leg thrusters and the cream colored pieces on the backpack wings keep popping off.

Did the season 1 ibo 1/100 kits sell like shit? They made one for every gundam that showed up that season.

I'm just wondering why I got stiffed out of a fucking 1/100 frame shiden or a helmwige reincar

>>6234065
Wondered the same thing. I'd like a 1/100 full city.

>>6234075
The Gusion 1/100 was a fucking rip off. $50 for a kit where you can only build one.

>>6234065
1/100 always sells worse than their 1/144 counterparts because of price. Add to the fact that you couldn't even have complete configurations because they never released any option kits and it's clear to see what the better thought out line was. Oh you want to recreate the Gusion Rebake with rifles and cannons? Too bad, only one rifle and for cannons you gotta buy 2x Barbatos. They didn't even try.

Same person as the guy who posted the gouf custom earlier today, back with my favorite design in real grade form

>>6233912
Those look awesome! I dig the metabee gusion rebake.

That Astaroth needs work though :P

>>6233912
Man Barbatos looks bad without paint.

>>6234098
00 Raiser is one of your favorite? I don't agree but solid build.

>>6234025
Yes, it's a viable repacement.

>>6233869
MG justice, some horrendous GBF suit, the thunderbolt HG gundam thing with cushioned shoes

>>6234128
Another anon on /m/ suggested plastic cement. Would the tamiya thin cement be good enough?

>>6234139
Yes. I use both plastic cement and super glue for attaching parts.

>>6234141
Cool. Thanks a million.

>>6234103

Thanks man :) and agreed :P the Astaroth Origin is one of the ones that hasn't seen any paint yet. I am looking forward to figuring out a good color scheme for him though!

This model is so bad in comparison to your last that I can't tell if that lighting would be any better for the other one.
I just take my pictures outside, there's no way to beat natural lighting.

I'm actually pretty proud of this one :) and agree that natural lighting is great!

>>6234296

The paint is smooth, but there is a wash on it to make it look grimy. I guess it's not translating very well lol

>>6234295
>I'm actually pretty proud of this one

You really shouldn't be. It looks like a dog chewed on it and then you put it in the bag of your vacuum cleaner before you did a quick pass over your carpets.

>>6234303
either the paint is grainy, the model is dusty or the over use of wash is grainy. Whatever it is, it does not look smooth at all.

>>6234316

It's the dust on the model :P I made a mistake not dusting it before taking these pictures lol

How's the Nemo? I have the GM II on deck and have been thinking about picking up more grunts, and the Nemo looks pretty modern compared to other GM variants.

>>6234381
Nemo's really good. Ever so slightly more dated than the 2.0 frame but just as poseable. Less stiff if that makes sense.
Not quite as detailed also but I still like him.

better than all the 0083 mooks at the very least

>tfw want GM II but fuck buying a GM for 80 bucks

>>6234396
should have preordered it!
