Here's a quick WIP of my mecha musume amputee kit. Still lots of sanding, a bit of shaping, and I need to figure out a good way to make the ribbons. Pretty happy with how these are turning out, but it was surprisingly difficult making sure the stumps attached flush. Working on FAG first, but I also want to do MD, shinki, and Picco Neemo stumps and covers.

He has a booth.fm store. It should be linked in his twitter profile. You need to sign up for booth.fm, open a tenso account, read the instructions on how to get stuff shipped to your tenso account, learn how the booth.fm storefront works, and buy the stuff when it's available. You can help yourself with google and google translate with all of the above.

>>6423259
Meh.
I'd pay it-- the same way I'd pay for the Shinki blanks.
But if there's no face-- and if it's too much of a hassle-- I'll just avoid it.

Shame, though. The little brunette in >>6423236 is just too damn cute.

So I'm going to ask something really stupid.

I've done a little bit of resin recasting a couple of years ago, and know that for two part molds you use a layer of oil/grease on the first half before pouring the second half on top so that the two halves don't stick when the silicone dries.

So I lost my recasting stuff at some point when moving out so I just got a cheap mini casting kit since I only need to do a small part. The problem is that it does'nt come with the oil/grease for doing two part molds.

So my extremely stupid question is can I just use something like olive oil or baby powder instead? Or is there some other commom item I can substitute it with?

>>6423272
Just get some 1 or 2mm styrene rods, cut them down, and paint a little filter on them.

Now a cigarette holding hand would be tough.

>>6423307

Tamiya Epoxy Putty, smooth surface type.

I'm no expert on putty mind you, this is the second time I'd ever used it and the first time was literally just filling a hole in a flat surface and sanding it level.

I generally order using a middleman service. Much less of a hassle, IMO.

Somebody said that Tamiya or Mr. thin cement would be the best for FAGs, but the store I'm buing them from doesn't have those.
Are any of these good enough alternatives?

>>6423533
Mr. * is always at least decent; I've never used the premium cans but the basic coat they have is one of my favorites. As for glue, it looks like they have Testors stuff, if you can find their cement it works pretty well.

>>6423533
You can cut the middle-man and straight go for a bottle of Methylenchlorid combined with a Touch N Flow/ Pin Flow applicator, IMO.

I applied it with a small brush for a while now and while it works, it's also kinda wasteful.

And Mr. Products are pretty good, yes.

>>6423276
They're sold as kits and official releases always include waterside decals for the eyes and full-color instructions. (Unless otherwise noted.) My one criticism of these is that the decals are kind of newsprint-y. The 1/12 ones made by hi-q parts look great though (these figures are closer to 1/18 in size though)
He's restocked the blank bodies I think three times now since they released near the beginning of the year, usually around/after toy shows.
I'm not a huge fan of tenso, so I just use my regular middleman (TokyoBuyers)

fg-site's been dead for some time now but I just learned of TINAMI and there's a load of cool shit on it. Just saying.

Apparently there was a mass exodus to that place from fg-site after the latter went full retard with their "pay real money to get points to upvote other people and other retarded shit" system (I kind of drifted away some time before that happened so I didn't know).

They really need to sell a high heels MSG separately.

Hello everyone, I finally got and started building my first FAG, and was wondering how exactly to go about all this seam welding.

I have only ever built planes many years ago, and I would either apply some plastic cement on the pieces after I put them together or I would use some putty.

However, in the event of having to fix things as well as messing up the surface with cement, is that really ideal for fags? Should I just use putty instead in case a joint breaks and I need to open something up?

Finally, what's the best way to sand some of the joints to make them less stiff? Some seem to be in really awkward positions...

Sorry if these are retarded questions, but I don't want to fuck up irreversiblely.

>>6424177
> I would either apply some plastic cement on the pieces after I put them together.
yes thats what i normally do
> Should I just use putty instead in case a joint breaks and I need to open something up?
whatever makes you feel safe Anon
>Finally, what's the best way to sand some of the joints to make them less stiff? Some seem to be in really awkward positions
the best way is the one you are most used to. like always

imo Anonkun probably need to hamfist these things so hard in order to break their joints. and since you already know how to model i doubt that you will be THAT careless. im more worried about dropping these than breaking them while posing

>>6424248
>best way is the one you are most used to. like always
How do you do it then?

I have never made a joint based model in my life

>>6424281
cut a strip of wet/dry sandpaper?
if you really have to sand joints just the elbow and knee and probably the ball joint that connects the head to neck

>>6424300
hornet really a qt
glasses from where?

>>6424304
How often do joints need sanding, anyway? I've never had joint problems with gunpla (except when I broke a hip joint on an HG Sandrock as a kid) but those are Bandai and I guess have better tolerances than Kotobukiya products.

>>6424309
i never had any joint problems on mine to the point that i needed sanding (with the exception of that neck ball joint) people say they break their elbows/knees because it was too tight.
im also afraid that sanding them just accelerates the speed of the wear of the joints and makes the joints very loose later on (which i hate so much) and old koto also hates polycaps which was my gripe on older kits since i was pampered by bandai.

Another question:

Building the legs now, it give me a choice to use a polycap socket or an abs one.

Is there any reason not to use the polycap? Why give me a choice?

>>6424390
color choices, but i'd get the improved durability one vs the old one

>>6424393
I mean, both look flesh colored to me.

Which is the improved durability? I assume the abs?

>>6424405
which fag?
my hornet came with orange abs and dark gray polycap T leg joints

polycaps

>>6424425
Thanks, wish I knew why they included both since they are the same color

>>6424431
abs' tightness vs polycap's flexibility perhaps?

>>6424425
>>6424431
If you look next to PC(C) it has A(21) indicating you can use either one.

>>6424446
I think Anon was curious as to which would be the ideal choice of the two.

>>6424451
>>6424431
Polycaps can't be painted. ABS can. Also some people prefer the looseness of polycaps over the tightness of ABS.

>>6424490
The ABS joints are the ones you want to use, in any case.

>>6424494
>in any case

ABS to ABS seems like all-or-nothing friction, broken a lot of joints like that.

>>6424499
The polycaps were too weak to keep the hips from getting too loose. The ABS joints were included as an improvement.

>>6424309

You don't need to sand the joint. Get a lube stick from the diy store. Uaually it's used to grease sliding doors and stuff. Looks like a stick of candle wax.

I test fit joints and if it's gonna-break tight, I rub the lube wax on it. Very easy to control and it's not messy to use like shock oil. 100% reversible by just wiping it clean.

Been using it for years on kits, Transformers, Hasbro figs, SHF... you name it.

After both sets of shipping and the proxy fees a single body ends up being about 160 usd. I usually get two figures at the same time because they're small and the ems shipping stays low. The proxy fee is almost 20% which might be high but it's basically what I was paying my friend when he lived there and these are his friends. I used Celga way back when but they are in the northernmost part of Japan so buying anything was always extra in shipping and I felt like they weren't as flexible.

Wonder where he is.

Maybe it might turn out right and match the faceplates' plastic color better if he uses white primer, and or reduces the amount of character flesh 2(the pink color) in the recipe?

Am I totally colorblind? The faceplates that are already painted seemed to kinda match the default plastic color or at least that's what I thought.

>>6425875
The face plates only have the eyes painted on, anon... the rest is raw plastic...

That said, it's better to just put topcoat on raw plastic and define the skin with weathering powder over full on painting it.

Also
>>6425648
Going to suspect the color is kind of different because the person who took that image didn't prime white. The skin tone looks off because the grey is showing through.

Architect friend here again with one last question:

Everything is now ready for paint. Regarding the flesh parts, would it be better to paint it, then add the grey armor (crack it open after) or should I put the armor piece in, mask it, and then paint the flesh?

>>6425686
Source is Rampage Ghost. Those aren't one-offs, they're the resin kit official "dlc" like the two pack he made for the WISM soldiers.

>>6425944

>>6425933
Masking is an option, but if you're going straight to painting from assembly I'm sure the easier option would be to weld the thigh part and trim tabs on that part that's supposed to slot in between so you can paint it separately and then just glue it in at the end. Assuming I'm remembering how the assembly of that part works correctly.

>>6425965
>I'm sure the easier option would be to weld the thigh part and trim tabs on that part that's supposed to slot in between so you can paint it separately and then just glue it in at the end.
Wow, I'm dumb, that would be a total piece of cake compared to masking or trying to pop the seam to insert the armor piece.

Thanks anon.

I may have a problem. I ended up buying both. The pictures on eBay led me to believe that I'll be getting pretty much two entire sets of each, but that can't be right. Ended up paying 60 shipped for the pair, and if I'm getting 4 bodies with that, that might be one of the best shinki deals I've ever gotten. And then I'll be able to stop using a black blank for a custom mannequin.

>>6426424
>>6426450
The guide in the OP is for gunpla, not specifically FAGs.

In any case, you can paint the flesh parts on FAGs, but it's not really worth it unless you want a specific skin color. The base flesh parts are fine, you just need to topcoat them to make them look painted.

Yeah, that's the topcoat I use, though I know other brands work just as well. Matte is definitely what you're going to want to use on at least the skin parts unless you want your girls looking like oiled up strippers. For the armor parts, it depends on which FAG, but the less sci-fi ones like Architect and Gourai look better with matte as well, imo.

Where you keep the original flesh parts but add to it selectively with painting?

Yeah I'll need to see first how others test with trial and error, it's been raining and humidity is too bad for the airbrush.

Yeah, in that case, you'll just want to paint every part that is or will be flesh-colored just to make sure there are no inconsistencies.

>>6426729
Tamiya's topcoats are also good quality. Not sure that you wouldn't be able to use them on decals despite the warning, but FAG faces are, in fact, decals. If you're concerned, put a throwaway decal on a throwaway piece of plastic, like a runner or a plastic spoon, and test it.

And yes, Future/Pledge Floor Polish is legit.

I bought white and black silk duponi from Dragonfly International, a US comapny that sells supplies for making doll clothes and dollhouse accessories. The black silk was a little rougher and stiffer than I was expecting. I'm planning to make skirts with it so that might be good. It is quite thin, so it should work for clothing at this scale.

Neat, I was starting to get nervous. [spoiler]Now if only fucking Muscuto would deliver.[/spoiler]

How many complete casts can one dude make in a day anyway? With all the top gear and while working eight hours a day, I'd imagine about five to six.

>>6428111
Someone just uploaded the Aoi one.

Cant wait to get home

>>6428836
I think Muscuto's got a factory he commissions to do casts of stuff. There's no way he can get such clean casts like that if just doing things himself.

Where can I find ANY of the Extend Arms?
Fucking Kotobukiya seems to be trying to get me to buy a ton of Frame Arms to cannibalize.

Neat, I found an eBay seller that sells 1/12 x-acto knives. That'll be cute. I also picked up several other totally innocuous objects. (They were selling jumper cables too, but no car batteries.) I'll post when it arrives. The shears have a hinge and everything so I'll get lots of use out of those.

>>6428723

What's in the box?

Sorry, I assumed pictures had already been posted. It's a few little Gourai parts.

Oh man, I really don't want to pay 5k for two accessories when there's a perfectly good 1/12 scale OBGYN chair on ebay for that much.

What's with modellers on twitter not seamwelding MDs/FAGs but painting and working on them all the way anyway?

Are the tolerances too tight for paint damage?

>>6429356
honestly those tits belong on architect
gourai is fine as she is

>>6429356
I want some of those oppai sets so bad but I don't do facebook shit.

>>6430341
Time to start

>>6430341
it is not hard it is just basically chatting with the dude to buy some

Just got my Cheeseburger.

The clear blue parts look amazing, the purple highlights look so cool. Can't want to get her together. I've got a stack of MDs to build though.

>they didn't ship it till a few hours ago

They shipped my drama CD a week late too.

>>6430341
Me neither, just make an account under a fake name to order and make it clear what name it should actually be addressed to in the dms.

>>6430400
God damnit, all these pictures of the sweet bluray package coming out now... I seriously regret not buying them...

Also for being poor ._.

You can rally turn a profit importing this stuff and reselling it? How?

>>6431913
Some things don't get reissued, so that drives up demand as supply goes down, basic economics my boy

>>6431913
Unfortunately, because FAGs exploded in popularity practically overnight, Kotobukiya can't keep up with the demand. Even though they've been producing them in larger numbers, they usually sell out pretty quickly (at least online). That goes double for first runs like Hamburger Ater. They'll get reproduced eventually, but that takes time. Those who didn't preorder and don't want to wait will have to get them from scalpers.

>>6431913
I'm in the UK, retailers over here will charge £80 easily for a cheeseburger before postage, so probably £85 shipped
As long as I can sell for under what they would (£65 shipped in this case) then they will sell.
I paid £49 each for them, so after paying postage, thats only a £10 markup.
Looking at ebay prices though, I could be scalping these to fuck.

Baselard is great.
Also, I really need to start waiting for a new thread to post these.
Eh. Patience is overrated.

How much they are?

(And how expensive is the shipping?)
