Busou Shinki and Friends General - Sayonara S1 Edition

So is the site where Taiwanese robot chest enhancers can be bought a closely guarded secret, or can we have a hint?

>>6382035
You can either contact the dude via facebook or buy his product from some online place. Look it up in the previous threads, people talked about it.

The Chinks probably are selling recasts as well.

Finished Innocentia today. Waiting for the FAG bike so she can do a race against Hresvelgr.

>>6381391

Probably superglue. It imbues paper with a plastic-like quality. But he seems to be using some high-quality paper as well.

>>6382089
Hopefully soon so they can get back to making things that aren't garbage.

>>6382201
The FAG bike has to be my most eagerly-awaited release ever. I'm contemplating if I should get more than one so Jinrai and Innocentia Blue can both have one.

Here is a the pic of the gourai upgrade for those interested

>>6382207
Well it's not like that's expensive. I assume the green stuff is something it won't adhere to, then. I was thinking of trying some lighter weight paper too, but for now printer paper seems fine. I do need to get around to cloth though as that shitty skirt still made Inno look leagues better.

I want to rape Ao in Christmas and make Gennai Gourai watch...

I am going to miss this shit, need the S2 ASAP or have the same rune as Conan at least

>>6382197
I mean, I am here just for this.

Also, nice FAG, but you have to work a little on the front of the butt-armor...

>>6382309

Thanks dude. But yeah, that's just a test fit. I'm probably gonna fill it with epoxy or something once everything is in place.

I also need to cover up the sides of the cannon's balljoints, since I gouged ou the parts that covered them to make it all fit. I'm open to suggestions, honestly.

gel instant cure glue (super glue)
plastic model use glue (plastic cement)

They probably mean any plastic cement you see on the market that contains styrene in it which is pretty much anything other than any of the "thin" cements. So something like pic related. I'm thinking that they soak the paper in the cement and wait for the solvent in the cement to evaporate, which leaves the styrene in the fibers of the paper, reinforcing it.

>>6382377
>plastic cement
I guess it might work for *plain* paper, but the solvents in those will eat the patterns/dyes of decoupage paper.

Normally in decoupage paper techniques they use PVA glue or some brand variant of mod podge to harden and seal the paper.

>>6382394
Yeah, the guide specifically says "copy paper" so I don't think it's really putting into consideration any other kind of paper.

>>6382398
What's the difference between this "sterol resin" blended into plastic cements and actual styrene?

I have an architect coming in the mail and I've been wondering something. What would be the best method by which to remove her skirt? I'm planning on making a mid-shin length skirt for her to replace it.

>>6382394
cant you just do a work around on the pattern problem? [spoiler]make them like stickers or something?[/spoiler]

>>6382503
Get a Jinrai. Basically an architect with some added armor bits.

>>6382503
Architect's skirt comes in eight parts, of which seven are optional. You can avoid having a front or side skirt by just not using parts H5, 8, 9, and 13-16. However, you need part H10 to form her lower back, and that part has the rear skirt baked in as part of it. You're going to have to carefully shear most of that off using a knife or trimmers and then sand down the rest. You can then sandwich in the cloth skirt between the steps 7 and 8 assemblies. This may result in a few gaps, which you'll want to fill in using putty.

I like the missile pod. Not sure on the back-mounted gun or not yet. Its cool but might be more fitting for someone else.

Yeah, its one of the 1/144 Kotobukiya ones.
The F-15. Here's a picture of it I took before I finished it so the chest vents aren't installed. I built it a couple weeks ago.

The engineering on them is fucking weird, especially in the wrists and ankles. And honestly the articulation isn't very good. I can see why it binned so hard on HLJ back when I bought it a couple years ago. Comes with some ugly ass little BETA, though.

Even though my topcoat says flat, when I apply it (I use a brush) it dries glossy. Is it too thicc or do I have a terribad topcoat brand? I'm using the Model Master Acrylic

>>6382653
Got a pic of your topcoated product?

>>6382653
Not every matte varnish is equally matte. I've used some that end up being very slightly satin.

But also with matte varnish (and primers and basically anything) you REALLY need to make sure it's mixed properly otherwise it can end up being glossy because the particles that take the shine off aren't properly mixed in.

That and the school the combloc girls go to in Upotte! is called 'Akaganeko' which if you break up the syllables a certain way translates to basically mean ''AK is a cat'.

Use Stylet's skirt and hair, Innocentia's limbs and torso. Some color tweaks with a photo editor.

It's surprisingly doable.

I'm incredibly mad. I don't use facebook very often and apparently missed the payment deadline by a day. Just messaged them and hope they let me still pay. If not, I guess I'll just have to hope that someone recasts it. Why did it have to be through facebook?

Sent the payment and it's just a day late so hopefully they still honor it. If not, hopefully GK-m gets his hands on it like the Gourai blank body. Speaking of, I have a Stylet nude body I've been meaning to recast one of these days, though I think I need a proper vacuum chamber.

That was done with air dry clay, if only because being able to be cut with scissors was the telltale sign.

Catch is, even when dry they don't take well to handling unless they're in a more robust, solid form like those tiny jewelry trinkets and not spindly hairpieces.

>>6384946
>FaGs are supposed to be 1:1
Not necessarily, you're thinking of MD. Even if they were scale though the naval guns could also be appropriately sized due to reasons so it works.

>>6384946
Fags have no real "canon" scale according to Koto. The manga and anime are just exploring one if infinite possibilities.

Whereas, like >>6384952 said, if you want figures that are specifically 1:1 scale and nothing else, MDs fit your theme.

>>6384952
>MD
Excuse my newfaggotry but what does that mean? Also aren't they 1:1 on the anime?

The designer for Jidao and Leidao posted this saying the end of the anime made him wonder if he'll ever get to see Jidao in an anime. Maybe a sign of things to come.

Megami Device. If there's a successor line to Busou Shinki, that's the one.

I...can't tell if you're joking or not? You're literally in a "Busou Shinki and friends" thread. Anyway...if you really don't know, Busou Shinki was a mecha musume toyline produced by Konami years ago. It was unique in that nearly every figure was designed by a different Japanese artist, so there were a wide range of styles to pick from. It was pretty hugely popular and even spawned an anime and several games, but died an untimely death because Konami is dumb and doesn't know what they're doing anymore.

After BS died, FAGs and MD kind of rose from the ashes as spiritual successors to take its place.

>>6384946

FAG kits came well before the anime or Lab Days manga were ever even conceptualized, so they're technically Non-Scale.

All good. There's a lot of stuff out there now because how Busou Shinki disappearing left a massive gap that a whole bunch of companies took on themselves to fill. So now we've got Azone with Assault Lily, Kotobukiya with FAGs and MDs, Megahouse with Desktop Army, and even Bandai with how they're handling AGP lately. You should be able to find something you like if you look hard enough.

I'm actually trying to deliberately nitpick about hexagear so I don't end up buying the entire line like I already do for FAGs and MDs. Those Governors look fantastic.

Another thing to note is that while those lines are all by different companies, they all seem to cross promote their stuff like a happy family with the exception of Bandai. We're getting a Desktop Army Gourai and a Frame Arms Girl Sylphie (Desktop Army's first entry) for example.

>I'm actually trying to deliberately nitpick about hexagear so I don't end up buying the entire line like I already do for FAGs and MDs. Those Governors look fantastic.

Honestly so far the troopers and pic related are the only things from the Hexa line that I have any interest in.

>>6384994

Scale to the model kit.

>plastic crack
Should have told me earlier, already broke 2 parts of my Inno already. It's gonna be a pain to fix them since my liquid cement doesn't seem to work that well with them.

I am regretting painting my Inno in her original colors now, I want to try something else and go crazy with the customization, are those other brands/lines the same size as FaGs? Are their parts compatible?

>>6384998
I don't even want to think of the possibilities of mixing that with Guardian Arms.

>>6385010
I've frequently masturbated to the thought.

>>6385008
All of Kotobukiya's lines, save for some of the licensed ones, work off of 3mm pegs or the hex socket. Any incompatibities you find, they have an adapter for too in MSG.

What parts did you break on your Innocentia?? The usual suspects like the wrist shouldn't be too fragile anymore since they replaced it with POM.

>>6385013
The articulation that attaches one of her twintails to her head, the peg that goes into the twintail broke and is still inside. My plan is drill a hole with a hot piece of wire on both ends and glue them together with a small piece of wire inside, don't know if it would work with this plastic tho.
Also broke part of the "C" that holds the toes to her feet, but they still hold in place so that's not much of a problem.

Not gonna lie, building and painting FaGs have been a lot harder than I expected.

>>6385017
Use two pieces of wire, one at an angle if you plan to move the twintail, otherwise it will come apart again at the join

>>6385022
That's really smart, will do, thanks.

>>6385021
Looks better, but those twintails are too poofy.

I can't wait for the Metal Gear customs of Byakko, release when?

>>6385199
Koto also has a kit of REX and I think RAY as well, so we have parts for customs available.

For silliness, It would be cool to have a Poche custom of Gourai that makes her SV-001 Metal Slug-themed.

Make her turret bulbous and round with a snub gun, make her armor thicker and rounded, and make her treads more pronounced.

I do not have any guides strictly dedicated to just hair scultping with any large amount of in depth details, but I do have this. Has more focus on forming the hair then most other guides I have seen before so should give you a good idea of how to go about it for whatever you have in mind.

now if you want to take the route of more realistic hair using actual clay and then resin casting duplicates of it, then there are tutorials for that. The method in this image I can't image being too good for highly detailed realistic hair.

>>6385346
I actually dont really like camel toe that much, nipples though...

>>6385197
there is no need to use gundam markers. Or any paint for that matter. However panel lining is recommended and Stylet does have a lot of parts that should have more color to them but does not. If you do use gundam markers it is advised not to paint the whole kit with them, only details as gundam markers are not that great at giving a smooth result without extracting the paint and applying with a brush.

Here's some progress on filling up the spare Baselard. I bought some MSG kits just now in a bid to patch up some missing bits of the spare flesh body from the Hobbylard set. Namely I bought P109, P125 and P129, but P129 ended up giving me the most use and the others didn't really see much use for now

So far, I've used a 3mm drill bit (see pic) to drill through 2 round panels in the P129 set in order to fill the gap between the Materia foot and the Baselard leg, due to the peg in Materia's ankle joint being longer than the socket for Base's leg. The larger round panel on the chest I have temporarily affixed with blue tac, but I might just glue it to the body in order to replace the ring. Replacing the verniers on the arms' cuffs was difficult, because the verniers in MSG P109 didn't have the correct socket and their bases were too thin to drill out, thus I might just nip off the cuff pegs and pin on the verniers instead.

I'm not sure about the chest pieces flanking the centre ring but I might just cover those with putty and stick on a panel from the P125 MSG set. For the collar I'm not sure what to do so I'm open to suggestions, otherwise I'll just try to sculpt some frills for her.

Also I bought some cotton today, thus I'll be making clothes for my FAGs soon

>SOL Hornet has only got the bodysuit legs

I have to scratchbuild a new set of armor legs, or create spacer pegs and new feet that are armored to balance it all out.

I am so out of ideas on this.

>>6385021
It's actually a salvagable design using minor mods.

Saw out the lower helmet jaw and tweak it to be an oversized muffler.

Then re-arrange the hair pieces to eliminate the tacky 1991-era twintail look. Use the ribbons on her head instead.

Is the anon with two Murmeltiers here?

I recently just acquired another one and I was wondering what kind of builds I could make

Or if anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated

>>6385282
Or you could just go with the Slug Gunner suit which has a pile driver on the arm.

>>6385374
For sculptability of hair before putty gets too hard, is it better to go with epoxy putty and start carving when it's halfway cured, or go with polyester putty (as done in the plamo tsukurou videos)?

I was surprised and horrified to find out that when I was carving cured epoxy putty (Aves sculpt) with a knife, it crumbled into powder as fine grained as flour.

Don't want that getting in my lungs. Its like it wants me to wetsand all the shapes, with all sorts of sponges and needlesticks.

>>6385686

Next time do not use greenstuff for that kind of work, cause it isn't meant for sanding. Try milliput, procreate or my all time favorite brownstuff.

>>6389112
Well I guess I could always use my xacto and slice off enough to add on a milliput layer

Second time I've ever used putty.

What's the best low-budget I can have for a dremel-esque tool?

>>6389261
Hope you installed a couple magnets beneath the putty, because you might regret not being able to attach headgear later on.

>>6389273
Nail manicure sets should work. They're cheap and they can be made to rotate slow enough to work on thermoplastic materials. No idea how well they do on hardened putty though.

>>6389273
A basic Dremel that can handle wood, plastic, putty etc should only run about $40-50.

If you want cheaper just search amazon, or similar for a "rotary tool kit". You can easily find corded off-brand options for $20-30.

Other options include checking local hobby shops, modeling supply stores, and craf stores. Asking again for a rotary tool is generally the easiest way find what you're looking for.

>>6389367
Time to hit up Art Friend and some of the other craft stores I know of then.

>>6389379
I hate Art friend for taking forever to restock. I've been waiting on those no. 17 xacto blades and krylon primer for months already

>>6389463
>Krylon primer

That is not an actual primer. It's not very good to use.

>>6389264
I love how a simple eye patch can make anything chuuni.

>>6389607
Can confirm, Krylon primer covers well, but goes on REAL thick. Detail-coveringly thick. I hate that dedicated model primer sprays cost so much for so little, but I've yet to find a decent replacement.

>>6389317
Not that anon, but that's a great idea!
