How can I get a Singaporean gf?

>>6453329
Does anyone else think the Magical Girl and Witch designs seem a little phoned-in?

I just get the feeling that Nagi was either bored or busy with these two.

>>6453367
Shinki's are still Soon™

>>6453424
have lots of money
t. singaporean

>>6453438
I think they just need kneesocks and will look a lot better.

>>6453438
I'm not fond of the magical girl one, but I like the clean and simple style of the witch.

>>6453424
Isnt she korean?

I am deeply interested n the mecha fox girl but I'm hearing she's from a game I'm not familiar with?

The Foxgirl and the Archer I can't get around, as the archer got Ara-Ara and spectacular hair and fluffy tail must be touched, but I'll give this Ninja a pass.

The magical girls I can't care about either.

>>6453424

Just fly here and hang out in the right bars. Singapore party girls love white dick. Even the fattest, baldest turdfaces can easily pick one up.

>>6453329
I can't help but see Nagato and Mikuru in the new Megamis...

These kits won't be all that difficult to get after release, right? I assume they (megami device) will be popular enough to get reprinted?

I can really only get one out of roadrunner and hornet at the moment, they are both in stock at hlj but due to the gimmick of combining their weapons it would be sad if I couldn't complete the set later on.

so about the Shinkis, someone mentioned something about a panel event or something where they would discuss things. i assume it probably happened by now but did they say anything?

>>6453843
Megami Devices seem a bit sparse on the aftermarket, I'd recommend pre-ordering them as they release.

>>6453843
There are no planned reprints yet.

>>6453495
Does it matter? The design's the same whether you're intimately familiar with the source or not. That same reason would stop you from buying FAGs or MDs too.

>>6453907
>>6453919


I ended up ordering both at a place that I'm at least certain will dodge customs unlike HLJ that gets caught every damn time which makes it cheaper. And on HLJ Hornet was more expensive than the norm for some reason.

Guess it's still potatoes and water for a month for me though.

I wonder if they will make a megami device anime in the future after the success of the FAG anime.

>>6454193
They'll first make S2 of the Fag anime IF they see noticable increases in sales. The toy company actually paid for the cartoon, both for its production and for its spot on TV, so they'd like to see some ROI.

>>6454193

I'm really not liking all the hardpoints on those two.

>>6454235
They might have pegless ones you can swap like Innocentia or you can just remove them entirely.

>>6454239

I guess the ones on the legs are completely optional from the looks of it, so that's something.

I suck at decals, do I need to topcoat first? What about decal softener, is that a must?
Also, lots of unused parts in the runners, are those parts meant for Smugrunner?

>>6454169
No matter comrade, love of vodka and poverty is universal thing understood by all.

>>6454257
Unused parts are from the WISM.

Also Renamon's hair tuft fits on Shinki's which can be pretty cute.

Does anyone have a link to the Japanese website that sells custom parts guide book for plastic figure kits?
I can't find it.

>>6454298
Why Gloss coat and not flat coat?

>>6454325
imagine putting a sticker on a rough surface, versus putting that same sticker on flat smooth surface

>>6454331
So gloss coat first and then flat coat?

>>6454336
yes, though isn't the plastic plenty smooth as it is? i know this is what some people do, but I wonder if it's unnecessary.

>>6453329
I'm not feeling it anymore since looking at Juden-chan's art in color, something about them makes the whole design look kind of ugly.
Alice Gays look cool, though

Someone said in the last thread that Stinko is most popular FA/FAG and yet it's only Baselard's Extend Arms that get re-released.
Is Koto being dumb or just greedy? I don't want to have to buy a whole Khanjar just to cannibalize the Extend Arms now that we are going to get the technology to adapt them.

>>6454336
You can use decal setter in lieu of gloss coat. Real time saver. I'm pretty sure it's just white vinegar, or vinegar and dish soap or something like that. Look it up if you don't want to buy any.

I love the witch girls so much but I hate when animu skirts don't actually cover the crotch. I'm probably going to get crucified for saying that in a FAG thread but ironically it's because I'm an actual fag.

Still I think this is going to be my first Megami Device. I've just beel collecting Shinkis mainly till now. It helps that I just finished Little Witch Academia.

I wonder what colours they're going for.

>>6454674
The skirts have hardpoints, you can put on extra stuff if you want to protect their chastity.

It looks better than it all being one colour would be and it's dead easy to spray those parts if you want something else.

Was the claim that the new Megamis are dropping today ever substantiated? I want to know if I need to stay up all night or not.

Now to wait for HLJ to order mine.

First off, what's a good way to simulate hems and piping on the "clothes"?

in b4 stretched sprue, but I don't really grasp how I'm supposed to curve and fit stretched sprue at the edges of the styrene? Suggest a way?

Secondly, what would be a good way to make a windbreaker for a FAG body? Like, also adding all the metal doodads and piping like some futuristic /ak/ or Girls' Frontline jacket.

>>6454926

So it looks like there's a (Koto shop) exclusive with blue hair. I don't think I care though the combination isn't offensive.

Anyone had problems with FAG wrist joints freezing in place at the swivel after long periods of not being posed?
Every time I get the girls out one or two of them end up losing wrists because they somehow fused to their arms.

>>6455026
Yeah, I had to order to sets of spare joints because of this. I've heard an advice here that you should lube up your girls before playing with them but that seems like such a bother... Shouldn't breathing hot air at joints be enough to warm them up?

Well, can't deny that it was one of the reasons I got myself a catgirl. The other was the rapey smugface, of course.

>>6455131
Gyan girl looks decent, Fumina looks as bad as always.
Bear and cat actually look okay.

Can somebody hold my hand here for a second? The painting process goes like this:
Apply thinned paint to colored parts, wait till it dries, apply decals, color the lines, apply matte coat to parts and body.
Is that right? Or do I a safe gloss coat somewhere along the way?

>>6455156
Clean/mild sanding, prime, colour, topcoat.

>>6455157
How do I apply primer without losing the details on parts? Is that really necessary?

>>6455131
>1/3 with an unarmoured base body

I mean at least they released China's Bearguy form, that shit made me throw money at the screen back in S1 already.

They're still doing pretty terrible

>>6455162
>How do I apply primer without losing the details on parts?

In thin layers.

>Is that really necessary?

Only if you completely repaint the kit.

>>6455167
Alright, got it. What about decals though? Will they apply to acryl paint?

>>6455194
It's generally advised to put a gloss coat on all the spots you'd like to apply decals to.
You'll put a final semi-gloss over the whole kit anyway, so it doesn't matter if it temporarily looks messy.

>>6455082
piping on clothing is like a raised hemline between different pieces of fabric. You see it in sportswear, like a kind of a raised stripe.

>>6455196
Is that because they apply better to an even surface?

>>6454472
I for one would love to get a STyko, if only they decide to update the kit.

So I just bought a tittyninja having never built one of these before.

I've worked with miniatures for a decade so I'm good there. Got all my tools/files and what not. But I'm more worried about paint/transfers. Do all the bits come grey like historical kits or are they "basecoated"? Do I need to bust out the airbrush? Is there any cheaper gundam figure or something I should destroy first to get a clue on what I'm doing?

>>6455238
>updating kits
>Kotobukiya

One can certainly dream. I had a lot of hopes for Gourai Kai and yet what we got was the same V1 Gourai, recolored and with a couple of new armor bits. Even though they had a perfectly good InnoGourai from BD1.

>>6455305

>>6455285
you must not be familiar with koto then. They do quite a few updates with the frame arms line. recently they even updated the architect frame itself. just give it time

>>6455131
>Bandai finally does an update to the Fumina face.
>They base it on the equally creepy, beak-lipped character bust.

Why.

>>6454890
Isnt she anime main character?

>>6455276
>Do all the bits come grey like historical kits or are they "basecoated"?

Yes, the parts come dyed, but unpainted except the faces. They'll usually end up looking decent if you just panel-line them, touch up some details and protect it all with a flat coat. As you've been working on miniatures, nothing of that should be new to you.

>>6455165
>everything is fat due to polycap space requirements
That actually fits the Hyper Gyanko kit though

>>6455131

I wonder if Megamis or Alice Gear Aegis will get an anime first.

>>6455127

>>6455434
She is the only one I'm planning to get to be honest.

haze grey and underway

I decided to make my own low visibility Hornet. So far I'm pleased. High resolution camera really let's you see all your fuck-ups, thankfully it's not noticeable when you hold it in your hands. I couldn't get the sand paper into the knee pits. This spray can paint is surprisingly very fine. my awful seam-welding skill shows through.

>>6456159
The manual tells you what each runner is; PS, ABS, POM, or PVC

>>6456336

Yeah I don't have my kits yet which is why I'm asking. I'm not familiar with POM though, is it paintable?

>>6456338
google "is POM paintable"

>>6456338
>Polyoxymethylene (POM), also known as acetal, polyacetal and polyformaldehyde, is an engineering thermoplastic used in precision parts requiring high stiffness, low friction, and excellent dimensional stability.

POM is also known as unpaintable plastic. But only the T-piece and some ball joint bits are in the POM runner, which is black. I don't think anyone would care to paint those anyways. And if you do, all those pieces are available on the ABS runners.

>>6456344


Never mind, I remembered that hobbysearch has scans of the manuals and it seems like it's the hands that are PVC. That kind of makes me worried, as they're not flesh colored (at least looking at roadrunner) and as far as I know, PVC isn't paintable.

>>6456336

Seems like the answer is "no".

>>6456361

And I messed up the quotes, of course.

>>6456358

Yeah I guess it makes sense not to paint those pieces anyway.

Is this a good thread to talk about DIY making doll clothing to scale? There doesn't seem to be any other apparent, appropriate threads around here for such topics.

After well over a week of soaking , I have my report on RIT dye: Absolute failure. From left to right: cloth soaked in dye for 10 seconds, FAG upper arm (heavily sanded) , FAG leg part, White koto runner chunk, grey FAG part, White Gunpla part, Spess marine shoulderpad, ancient yellow resin (washed and scrubbed), fresh white resin (washed)

It looks like they've successfully got their new formula to only stick to cloth, which is bad news for anyone hoping to dye model parts.

Oh yeah, did you spray the leg assembly as a single piece? How did you get all the paint down into the joint crevices nicely without it chipping off, tell me your technique.

>>6456390
Man, I forgot how shitty their limits can be. Oh well, that's one there at least.

Are there any promo images with megami device ninja and the gigantic arms bike? I really hope I can use them together. It's clearly made for FAG:s which are a little larger.

Fuck. I wanted a FAG-sized bike for ages, but "be careful what you wish for" applies so fucking hard here.

>>6456417
Yeah, I seam welded everything together, then started priming+painting it all as one piece. I had the same fears as you of not being able to reach certain spots, but I went for it anyways. I did the first prime spray with the leg extended all the way, then I let it dry for 24 hours. Then I bent the leg all the way, exposing the areas that were not able to catch the first run.

Because I only had to spray only a few areas with no danger of chipping off, I only waited 2 hours before moving on to the paint spray (though you may want to wait the full 24 hours between every spray session). Still in the bent-leg position, I sprayed the paint on, making sure to get that little spot from before. Then I wait for the paint to dry 24 hours and extend the leg. Now I finish painting the whole leg. Again, wait another 24 hours and it should be safe from chipping.

You might have to lay it on a little thick in some spots so that the wet paint levels out into those hard to reach spaces. Be careful with that.

I'm using Tamiya lacquer spray cans, might be different if you're using something else.

Also, the joint where the toe piece and the foot piece connect rubs against each other. I made the terrible mistake of moving the toe joint before waiting the whole 24 hours drying time and I chipped off a bit of primer. I left that tiny chipped area un-primed. The next day I painted over that area and waited the whole 24 hours drying time. It's really amazing how well the paint holds up, that same area that chipped the primer and was left un-primed has not yet chipped the paint off. My recommendation is that you sand down that area a little so that the pieces don't rub against each other.

tl;dr: wait at least 24 hours of drying time before moving an articulated piece to a different position

>>6456475
I'm wondering, if I lacquer prime with an airbrush, and since it's more gentle and gradual, that would it be possible I could prime everything in a single day, since the coats are thinner and dry faster?

Like, if I do a mist coat with the leg extended, wait for it to flash off then bend the leg for a mist coat and build it up so it's all even?

OR

is it all the same because the spacing is too tight? I've grinded out some more extra space so the joint doesn't grind against the inside of the limbs so easily?

Muhuhuuuu!

Nearly done my first kit, a WISM sniper, and i have to say it was a good learning experience for future endeavors. Specifically:

-Paint carefully around elbow and knee joints.
-If at point you feel the need to force something in, sand that shit.
-Splurge on that good topcoat from the get go.

All that's left is to pray to my heathen deity that the super glue is strong enough to keep the hip joint together.

>>6456516
Don't know if it'll work differently, but I'd personally still wait a whole 24 before moving joints.

I say 24 hours because that's an organic time interval. It's a day-by-day thing. However, I don't know if maybe it was properly dry at 8 hours, 12 hour, 20 hours? Who knows. How do we know if the difference in drying time between airbrushing and spray can is an hour, 2 hours, 5 hours, or no difference at all? Then we have to consider the temperature and humidity in your area. Maybe you sanded enough space between the parts that it's safe enough. It's a little too much uncertainty for me and I'd rather be safe than sorry with a kit and painting materials that are not cheap. I've fucked up several gunpla kits from being too impatient.

>>6456549
The hip joint should be fine so long as you don't wave her around by the leg.

Made this after I saw Lucio, but I know you guys like any 1/12 accessories you can get your hands on so I thought you might like seeing a tiny robot surfboard I made. Unpainted for now, I want to match Lucio's color when he gets here.

>>6456516
>>6456579
You have to remember the difference between DRYING time and CURING time.

Dry paint is usually touchable if you're gentle but it is very weak and easily susceptible to damage.

To be as resistant as possible to scratches and wear, paint needs to cure and curing time is usually measured in days to even weeks depending on application.

Pieces on joints need that protection the most and IMO it's not worth rushing it to save a day now only to get to the end of your project and find the paint is already wearing.

>>6456746
You see, that's shit they don't teach you in art school. Which is kinda strange given the emphasis on interactive and conceptual art in this day and age.

Then again, I didn't major in painting so who knows.

>>6456961
>>6456746
Depending on the paints as well. Acrylics take about a month to "set" iirc.

This is the kind of windbreaker I'd like to make for a FAG or MD.

Sometimes, the stripes on these jackets are known as piping, which is literally a pipe of synthetic fabric sewn on.

Things I need to know:
1. Fabric choice for this scale
2. How to add details like metal studs, colored cuff stripes/other print details and metal clasps
3. Related to #2, piping for clothes

If I do this stuff on short notice ( < 2 weeks), will fabric glue be good enough to hold it together for a photoshoot?

What would be good for attaching tiny metal bits like studs and clasps to the cloth?

>>6457545
>will fabric glue be good enough to hold it together for a photoshoot?

For a photoshoot you can probably even use double-sided tape. I mean, it just has to hold until you're done.

>What would be good for attaching tiny metal bits like studs and clasps to the cloth?

Somebody made studs on handbags out of that window paint colour that was popular couple of years ago. For clasps, you'll have to make them and string them up on a flat piece of lacey.

You could probably also glue them on with a dab of epoxy.

any day now (in autumn) indeed.

Asked over on the custom thread, but no responses yet and I don't want to pester them. Has anyone here had experience adding piercings to figures? What works best - molding it with clay, shaping styrene rods or metal wires, finding small bits of jewelry at the craft store you could use, or some other option? I'd like to add a lip ring, a couple earrings - including a cuff - and maybe a bellybutton ring if I get ambitious.

The brown version? Because regular Ball-chan has already been delivered. My middleman is going to ship my two balls any day now.

>>6457666
At this scale? I'd say sculpt or paint them. We're talking about extremely tiny ass details here. Like shit that would've been painted on on actual life-sized sculptures for the vast majority of human history. A regular ring piercing'd be .25 mm wide at this scale -
If you're hell-bent on making them as seperate pieces, stretch a sprue to that diameter, warm it up again and turn it into a coil, then cut the small ass rings you need off that plastic coil.

>>6457710
Melting and stretching a sprue seems like a bit more work than getting some beading wire and using that, but it's another option to look into at least. I think sculpting's probably the best, but I just wanted some more input.

>>6457537
Ball chan's got cute boobies.

Was the RIT heated up? When BJDs are getting dyed (they are resin, though) it's usually just at boiling temp and dunked in many times with a shoelace.
Another dye people are using is iDye Poly. Not sure if that would work either. I have no idea if this would even work for these plastics.

Couple of things to mention.

First, there's a brand of dye that is supposedly closer to the original Rit formula (I think it's iDye, if I remember correctly). They also have a synthetics focused dye lineup. I don't know that it would be better than Rit, but it's something I wanted to mention.

Additionally, i've seen couple of how-to videos on dying ABS plastic call for adding a very small ammount (like a capful or two per quart of dye water) of acetone. Yes, it's a solvent, but in sufficient dillution it won't harm plastic functionally(at least not unless you soak it there for days), just break up the surface enough to give the dye molecules purchase. I would definitely look up more detailed how-to guides on that before you try it on actual model bits, though.

>>6458169
All right, I'll do a little research and see what I can do.

>>6458161

I've been wanting to start and I finally got a cheap airbrush and compressor set recently. I haven't used it yet. Do I have to dilute it or anything like that?

>>6458177
Yeap. 1:2 or near so. It must be liquid as milk. And dont try wet layer. Try half-wet. 2 thin layers before decal and 2 thin after would be enough.
After this slightly sand edges of decals to make them smooth and indistinguishable with surface.

>>6458211

Dilute it with water?

Sanding the edges? Isn't that what decal fix (I think that's what it's called) does?

>>6458181
All of the Frame Arms Girls except Hresvelgr and Innocentia have flat chests. Megami Devices are the ones with bigger tits, and even then only Archer and Ninja are properly stacked, with Snipe and Grapple still having a bit of curves but not a huge amount. Hornet, Roadrunner, Assault and Scout are all fairly slender, though not quite flat.

In Russia we dilute it with vodka. Easy and cheap. But you can use tamiya x-20 thinner.
Decal have glue layer all over it, not only the edges. Without sanding decal will look like bump on the surface. You better watch videos on youtube or visit ganpla thread and guide.

I assume there isn't any lineart for the megami devices yet? I always have a hard time deciding on colors without them.

Also, I can't decide if I should paint my hornet and road runner in the same colors or not, I guess it would be nice to be able to switch the armor around without it looking weird.

It's not a Liger, it's MSS Command Wolf. MSS is a pretty tiny and cheap line, but they're relatively nice kits (and they include those landscape bases too). Don't get them confused with the larger and more expensive HMMs.

>>6459180
I know it's not a Liger, I was saying I want a Liger that size. Unfortunately I'm not seeing one in the easy places. Too bad but I'll keep an eye open for that wolf.

I can almost hear the loud nigra cry comming from that command wolf.

>How do I order one?

Wait until they're back in stock and tell a middle-man service to order them. He restocks his stuff occasionally, so you probably wanna sign up a restock notice mail from the online sales plattform he's using.

So apparently somebody's been selling a 12th scale P90 at Wonfest.

Also Amberworks is still legit as fuck.

These two are reaching Innocentia levels of lewd.

They're canonically meant to gattai. They probably hold hands during it and shit.

Still, I'm looking forward to tittyninja. Hornet looks good for bullying.

Ara-Ara Archer will be my next purchase from this line. The Kunochi's base colour scheme's too messy and I don't like her gear.

Red Cu-pouche Styko is included with drama CD 4.

>>6459433

To each their own. I love my punky tomboy girls so I can't wait for tittyninja.

I remember a while back someone mentioned there being lore surrounding the desktop army figures. Does anyone have any info on it, or how the fiction is delivered? Is it just info on that comes with the figures like old zoids kits?

Anyone looking to buy one of matadora's older kits? Complete and already assembled with tight screws. Nothing wrong with it except I'm just trying to downsize. Price negotiable of course.

>>6459619
I'd be interested, how much you looking for?

>>6458072
Nope. Buy one kit that you can customize in two different ways.

Also selling Hide Fire too, also assembled and complete.

Where do you order your girls from? I doubt any physical hobby shop carries them.

>>6459956
Ask your hobby shop if they can get them from their distributor. If not, just import them like we all do from AmiAmi, HLJ, or Hobbysearch.

Which is the least heavy on the wallet if you're in Europe?

>>6459997
>>6459956
I import them. My local store probably can't even get them, they're already grumbling that RC-toy distributors are giving them shit or cutting them off because they can't order in bulk.

>>6460014
Second hand from Mandarake, I would assume. Place I'm from we don't pay import tax for secondhand products.

>>6460014
Jungle-scs might be good too.
They have the option to mark your packet as gift, so you can evade taxes in some countries.

>all these anons get to feel their balls and i'm here ball-less

I want a ball-chan.

>>6459481
There are two books at least. My moon's not good enough yet, but I do own them. Maybe one day...

>>6458233
These look great, pretty much the shapeliest MM kits so far, but holy shit are they expensive. Seems to be short run kits that are mostly sold at cons, but 12,000 whale tears is still a bit steep.

>>6460242
I think you can get recasts of some at that page that sells shittons of recasts.

>>6460253
Link?

>>6460273
E2046.com I think.

That's only like 130 burgers.

>>6460300
Gotta talk to him on facebook.

>>6460300
How much is it with and without mailing?

>>6460309
Come on man, it's the whole deal. It's everywhere!

If I buy this garbage will the singaporean succubus be my gf?
