For anybody using Telegram, here are some FAG stickers: https://t.me/addstickers/FA_Girl

If I have time I might just trace and vectorize the speech bubbles in illustrator to make it look neater, otherwise let me know what other FAG stickers you'd like in the meantime

Is Tamiya Extra Thin cement the best option for seam welding FAGs? Do I need more than one can for two FAGs and is one can of topcoat also enough for them?

Done the three restaurants in Akiba UDX. Might get 2 or 3 more in before I have to leave.

>>6406878
Any chance you would sell a spare base?

>>6406865
Update: Installed the drill's new motor. Looks like I need to smooth out the base of the drill so it will turn more smoothly.

It works fine tho.A little counter-intuitive, but you have to insert the LR44s into the battery pack with the positive electrode on the spring , when usually it's the reverse.

Probably, but most of the reason is because I'm going maximum overJew and combining her with stuff that's supposed to release next month too. SAL to these parts is usually only 2-3 weeks if that.

>>6407318

Last time i used RSAL took 4 months. Never again.

>>6407307
Fugg, releasing already? I gotta find a way to delay her. My wallet's already hurting from SOL Hornet, Figma Iowa, and AX. Then this month it's white Hamburger, SOL Roadrunner, and some Picco Neemo clothing.

>>6407337
I dunno, I'll probably keep playing with that particular bit of fire until I personally get burned. It would be nice if we got some more updates between Japan and the states though. I'm curious how many places those packages get moved to (and left).

>>6407341

I just paid for mine. Paid for my Hornets last week and I've got a 40k order to pay later this month.

>Little robot girls sure are a lot of work.
But the smile they put on your face is worth it.

I've ran into a major problem.

I was a little eager for seamwelding, so I welded together the limbs before measuring how and where to cut the joints for the c-joint cutting.

I tried initially by making styrene copies of the joints and trying to make guesses on where to make the cuts, but the ABS on these Koto joints is so stiff, so C-jointing is not possible. Instead, I have had to make a straight-on cut at the tangent to the joint sockets.

You can't C-joint, the plastic is too stiff for bumping and flexing into place; you need to make tangent cuts that move straight into the holes.

Right now, I've made incorrect cuts on the joints so you can see the gaps/pegs, and one joint is far too stiff and locked in, that I have to pretty much carve it out.

Is my only solution now to look for replacement limbs and joints?

>>6407444
How did you mod in Hornet's faceplate on the FAG head socket?

>>6407491
Yeah, I usually go with DHL just to reduce abuse transit time, but they still manage to bang up packages quite a bit.

>>6407506
you have the option to not accept it from them if the package is banged up. they tried to do that to me a long time ago didnt sign and sent it back. got a letter of apology and 2 days later got the replacement and i didnt pay a single cent extra

>>6407506
considering the price of the shipping and the item is almost the same i better get that FAG box untainted

>>6407508
>>6407510
Yeah, DHL does not actually deliver to where I live, they farm out the last leg to USPS, so they always point fingers at each other when it comes to damages. as far as not accepting the package, they always leave it at my door instead.

Its just all different levels of annoying. The only winning move is not to play.

I got that pic off twitter, but I'm guessing he used magnets.

>>6407493
Since I'm having such a hard time with C-jointing, and with mishaps..

Should I still attempt to C-joint the ankle parts, since the joint system is the same way as the elbows and knees?

Or should I suck it in and just spray carefully the assembly and move the parts gently to expose the joints to painting?

>mfw I realize Materia and Innocentia have different knee joints compared to Baselard, and I could take it up using the black legsocks of Inno and just make up the difference.

Still, c-joint the ankles or do the rotate joint, spray, rotate maneuver like the other people here?

>>6407523
if you have/can afford replacement go ahead
if not, suck it in
ill never try something new without a backup plan

Any of you guys still at Akiba?

>>6407540
So to break it down:

Plan A: Get a replacement set
+: Reliable, idiot-proof
-: Time and money

Plan B: repurpose Inno's black leggings, plane it to be flush to the thigh parts
+: I can do this in a fortnight
-: Feeling guilty I'm using from another kit
-: Hoping nobody will nitpick that I did repurpose Inno's leggings for Baase

Plan C: Stick the leg joints in a 3D scanner, rebuild back the shape, print out a copy, drill new holes and C-joint where appropriate
+: Cheaper than buying new shit
-: Will take me a couple days out of the week to do it
-: I'm rusty at setting up for 3d printing
-: I might make the mistake of misplacing where to C-joint again

Plan D: Make epoxy putty copy, rebuild, recast in Epoxy resin
-:Setback is a whole week or more
-: Epoxy resin is inflexible and definitely is bad for c-jointing

>>6407580
> Have a 3D printer
> Not printing out tons of parts to kitbash with
What are you doing, man?

>>6407585
3d printer?

Public library has a couple of them, but the queue to use it is long. Have to go on a reservation list and timeslots.

>>6407585
Plan E: Stuff a Lego brick with welded ABS runners and mill it into the shape of the knee joints, and drill holes
+: Will take 2-3 days tops
-: Lego brick ABS plastic is less pliable than Koto's ABS plastic?

>>6407592
You'd have to figure out the differences in the manufacturing processes to know how more or less pliable the ABS is, I guess.

>>6407602
Exactly. It's a very spotty plan, Plan E that is. At this point I don't know what to do.

Naturally the worst plan is to rebuild the joints with melted ABS/sprue goo + brass wires and try again at C-jointing, yeah?

Yes. What a question.

First FAG or first plamo? If it's just the former buy whatever you want but keep in mind that thimgs released after Materia have better construction. If it's your first plamo period maybe Innocentia or Jinrai, they're both pretty simple and Inno is great for dress-up while Jinrai has lots of accessories to start you off.

Hey guys, will these joints 1999.co.jp/eng/10433461 fit for FA:Gs? I found out their wrists are quite fragile and want to stock up with replacements.
>still haven't mustered up the courage to try painting them

>>6408698
Should be

Google suggests a koto set, Kotobukiya M.S.G. D-120.

Those have the added benefit of being poly rather than the usual koto plastic.

You should be posting Ao instead. Or Bukiko.

>>6408714
Don't see a wrist joint in that one, althoug I'm now pretty sure it has to be one of the "mecha supply joint sets"

>>6408727
What you need is a small balljoint, maybe four milimeters in diameter. There are a couple of those on that runner.

Alternatively, you can screw small set screws the sockets and use a 4mm ball magnets as joints.

>>6408175
Custom work. The blurb says the creator did it as an imagining of how an updated kit with anime details would look. Shame Koto won't release an official updated...

>>6408262
The FA Hres is from the Moon faction in the original FA lore. The other FAs with FA:Gs are from Earth, which tends to design its mechs to be more blocky, whereas the Moon's are more sleek and alien.

>>6408747
Huh.
That magnets idea is pretty interesting...
And I won't have to order things from abroad too.
Cheers, I'll think about it.

>>6408193
The Bearguy-san China is more in the right direction with the face, IMO.

>>6408783
I'm eventually going to give that a go, but first I have to get some silicon strand, because metal-on metal alone won't have friction worth dick.

>>6408322
Is the Godhand worth it if you're not doing the two cut technique? I just cut a bit away then use a hobby knife to whittle away the rest of the nub.

>>6408692
Can anyone ID the toy Jinrai is riding on? Feels strangely familiar, like some 80's toy of my childhood.

>>6408692
Just ordered five from TOM. I'll be checking back here in a month or two looking to trade I'm sure.

>>6408337
If you want to go for the one with the most armor customization potential out of the box, I'd recommend Architect since she has a ton of 3mm peg connections. Jinrai is also a good choice since she comes with a lot of weapons

>>6408939
Tom?

godhand practically eliminates the use of hobby knife and most of the time its a clean cut
>you cut a bit away
>you remove the remaning nub
most of the time its just two steps to remove nubs cleanly, my tamiya cutter cant even do that

You should be supporting the Volks mecha girl, IMO. They're in a comparable size range and they really truly got something for everybody in their future lineup. They also start out with what can easily pass for a Ball-mecha girl, which is hilarious in itself.

NTA, but trimming her bangs would help a lot too. Sliding a file along each clump of hair should help even it out. I really wish the bangs didn't go down that low, but it's sort of a FAG in general issue. I like the color scheme you picked for her, FWIW.

How are the APGs compared to Shinikis and MMS? I really like the design of this figure more than most of the others.

>>6410824
With soap AND water? And how many coats did you do?

>>6410863
both soap and water, and I did about 3 coats after the main paint job, and one final coat after drybrushing some wear and tear

>>6410824
airbrush or hand painted?
with primer?
what kind of paints did you use?
there's so many factors on why this is happening on acrylic paints

>>6410874
Handpainted, with primer, using "Apple Barrel" paints from walmart (Which are definitely not meant for model kits, but it was my only option)

>>6410879
>"Apple Barrel" paints from walmart
Well there it is.

>>6410847
I dont know but the gundam ones look incredibly uninspired.

>>6410884
I was thinking such, but it seems suspiciously easy to chip even for a Walmart paint

>>6410879
You did everything right except the brand of paint. If you really can't get your hands on Vallejo, I think you're just shit out of luck. Acrylic paint chips easily enough as it is, and that stuff's not meant for plastic models in the first place.

>>6410898
Ah well, I'll look into getting better paints, but for now I just have to be careful. Thanks for the feedback guys

>>6410902
Where do you live where you can't even get Vallejo paints?

>>6410903
I live in the Northeastern US, really close to the Canadian border, so it's the definition of living in the sticks. The only store in my area that sells the things anyone needs is the local Walmart, and this applies to paints too

>>6410926
Can't you order them off Amazon or something? I've been able to do that in the past, though those paints ended up unused as I moved right after and they're still boxed up away in an attic, probably all dry by now.

>>6410735
That's lovely.

>>6410933
That's what I'm planning on doing

I want to finally buy my first FAG, but I figure I should make the most of shipping. Is there anything specific I should be buying from the MSG set for spare parts or joints etc?

>>6410958

Buy everything

>>6410958
>goingdowntheslipperyslope.jpg
depends on which FAG you are buying

>>6410963
Red base seems like the best value since it comes with the book, but I fear this is the beginning of said slope, so I would rather be prepared in case I hamfist something and break a peg.

>>6410965
yeah you'd probably hamfist base because some of her parts is tight (in more ways than one)
you probably need to get some extra parts for the wrist joints since you wont have any extra from the newer FAGs

>>6410958
Mecha Supply 06 Joint Set B comes out later this month and has spare wrist joints, the most commonly broken joints.

What else you get depends entirely on what you want to do with your FA Girl. A Gunblade Lance is a magical girl staff that can go nicely with her.

>>6410983
>>6410980

>Mecha Supply 06 Joint Set B

>>6410965
DO NOT start with Baselard. Start with Gourai, both because she's the easiest and because you'll be able to appreciate how much better the engineering in all the subsequent kits is.

Can you elaborate on this? Do you just mean the kits require more work? (Putty, cement, paint w/e) or something else?

Ok for one person but too small for Aoi and her parents.

>>6411118
Her parents don't live with her.

>>6411107
NTA i think hes talking about youll notice how the kit improves chronologically from gourai to Innocentia albeit not much and theres subtle differences on their build (like their legs, arms etc)

>>6411107
Gourai (and to a lesser extent, Stylet) is significantly less poseable than the other girls. Her wrist joints are weak, and as such, she can't hold anything heavier than a rifle without assistance. Her skirt is a single piece of plastic as well, meaning her thighs can't even bend a full 90 degrees upward (pic related, this is as far as her thighs can go). Her feet have a similar problem because of the way her legs are designed. Her torso join (the one that allows her upper torso to bend) is pretty weak and prone to breakage if you're not careful with it.

Stylet fixes a lot of these problems but not all of them, and her kit actually introduces some. Her wrist joints are a little stronger than Gourai's but not by enough for it to really matter, though her skirt, thankfully, is separated into like 6 or 8 parts, so she has no trouble posing there. She has the two long twin tails though, which are both fragile and lack an appreciable range of movement, so posing with them attached is pretty annoying, especially with the turbine on her back, which always gets in the way.

Don't get me wrong though, they're both good kits and good girls, and I personally like Gourai's aesthetic more than any other ones, but even Architect, the third kit, is way easier to work with compared to Gourai and even Styko.

>Wrist joints are weak

I disagree, it's the ABS on ABS shoulder sockets and pegs that are prone to wear and tear and becoming loose, a problem that Innocentia's POM on POM shoulder joint construction fixes. There's a custom fix floating around the previous threads using a polycap piece from one of the MSG kits to entirely replace the shoulder sockets and neck peg, but that requires extensive remodelling of her torso cavity with a dremel and reshaping her shoulder pegs.

>>6410688

You could probably find a pattern for a pleated doll skirt easily and scale it to your liking. They aren't that hard to make.

>>6411184

Finding the fabric is the hardest part I think. I've never found a good source for fabrics that would work at 1/12 scale.

>>6411186
I walked into a fabric store the other day and the only things I found that weren't too thick were sheer things that would make Innocentia look like more of a whore than she would if she just ran around with her panties exposed. It sucks.

>>6411194

No one wants a slutty FAG.

>>6411196
Right? Problem is, every FAG so far aside from Hamburger and Bunnylard look like sloots with their crotches exposed. It's indecent.

>>6411186
I just ordered some fabric a few days ago from a company that specializes in DIY doll clothing. I was planning on making a skirt for Gourai and maybe some pants. I'll report back on the fabric once I actually get it in hand.

Origami's here is one of the few ones that can be considered good.

You fellas really make me want to give Styko the magnet-treatment.

What should I do with Stylet's swords?
The look so dull.

>>6411524
Have the blades chromed up real shiny.

>>6411593
What should I use for that?

unfortunately we likely will only get statues of those at the most. well maybe they might make some kindd of apropriate face plates and a deal with one of the clothing makers to make the outfits. But I don't expect to see a new body for base sadly.

terrible, worse than the folks using oversized clothes like theyre from the great depression

> ABS on ABS shoulder sockets and pegs that are prone to wear and tear and becoming loose

I already assembled my Baselard, but I can pop out the ball joints, how do I remedy the wear and tear now?

Can I still apply heat shrink to the ball peg joint and then grind the socket a little to accommodate, or is coating one of the joints with Future more than good enough?

Google translate says "No, it does not."

So I've been trying my hand at making some tiny clothes and finally made something that looks nice (imo). Feels nice that I finally did something nice for my MD other than make her a small bed.

>>6412148
Hey, that actually does look pretty good. Good job, Anon!

>>6412148
The jeans work (the patches are weird though) but I think the shirt needs something. Maybe something like a hem on the sleeve but I don't know how hard that would be at that size.

We're missing context on what she's saying that to. Seems to be the poster below it that's cut out.

Thanks anon. That was about the 4-5 version I did. Had to make a bit before I felt I had one I was happy with.

>>6412210
>the patches
Yeah I added them when I saw that part of the pants were coming apart. I made it possible to store small weapons and such, so it has some use.

I had another pair that looks better but it was drying since I made it using fabric glue. I was planning on adding some small design or something on the shirt so it wouldn't look so bland but haven't picked/come up with one.

got a couple of dumb questions too. do grapple and snipe come with enough to make both or one or the other? and what's base's base price? I seen her around 80 on the net and the only place in japan i saw her she was about 80 too.
