Finally succeeded in producing the first phase of this. I need HLJ to restock on Overed Manipulators before I can finish it, but it's a good start, I think.

>>6472056
For the sake of reference: two Wild Hand sets, two Beast Master Swords, two Ballistic Shields, four Energy Shields, a Propellant Tank Round and a Flexible Arm B went into this. The spare jet parts from the Energy Shields are going into my next project, Ninetails Innocentia.

Asking about >>6471497

The quick and dirty method I do for testing paint mixes is to put puddles on a sheet, or drip them out of the bottle with respective toothpicks each to count the proportions.

Yes with toothpick drops.

Is there a more efficient way to do this, because spraying thinned down coats will take a bit too long if you make 5ish test swatches?

>>6472056
>covered the skin

5/10. It was okay.

>>6472081
I did that with my Jinrai on building her. That's also why she's painted and topcoated while the parts around her are bare plastic for the moment.

Where can I get those hands?

>>6472379
The ones in the OP are Overed Manipulators, one of Koto's Modeling Support Goods kits. Check the usual hobby sites. They're popular enough that HLJ actually didn't get enough to fill all the original preorders back in March when they came out, so some people, myself included, are still waiting on them to restock. Allegedly they'll be restocking soon.

>>6472388
iirc overed hands are gonna get restocked on Sept. im also waiting for a pair from ami

>>6472388
>>6472676
Honestly, I don't even know what the hell I'm gonna do with them. It just seems neat to have a pair of big robot hands around.

>>6472687
You can put them on the powered guardian in place of it's usual gun hands if you've got one.

>>6471726
Any idea how this was done? I can only imagine UV paint was involved.

>>6473357
>I can only imagine UV paint was involved.
Not necessarily. A lot of white and neon colored paint glows under blacklight.

Is it possible to dye the clear plastic parts another color if they already have a color? I don't like color of the clear plastic for regular Hornet.

>>6473440
It is possible but very limited. Basically because you have to use clear paint for this you will be essentially mixing colors. The blue of the visor can never be completely cancelled out so your only choices are basically purple or green visors by using red or yellow clear paint respectively.

It will also lower the transparency of the piece doing this and the resulting color could be difficult to get to the exact shade/tone you may like.

Now that I think about it, these beam sabers are rather oddly-placed. I didn't actually believe that she could articulate her arm and be able to grab the beam saber in this position. I tried making her reach over to the far side, but it was impossible with the near-side beam saber handle blocking her arm.

It would be just as difficult even for a human, I don't think the designers thought this thing through.

>>6473742

What about grabbing the one on the opposite side?

>>6473742
Make her pull them with back of her hand like a badass 13yo, you know force unleashed style.

>>6473756
In terms of articulation, it's the same if you rotate the hand 180 degrees. It's just as awkward either way.

>>6473758
Yeah, it's pretty cool, I thought about doing that too when I saw the post on twitter. But I prefer my Hornet to keep her twin beam saber armament. Don't really like the way the mouth guard piece looks either, I'll be omitting it.

>>6473742
>It would be just as difficult even for a human

what? i just tried it, it's so fucking easy

>>6473923
Did you do it right? Notice the swept back angle. It's doable, but it's an ergonomic nightmare.

>>6473742
Huh, I didn't realize those were beam handles. I thought they were air tanks or RCS/SAS fuel tanks or something.

>>6473742
Maybe they're supposed to be spring-loaded?

>>6473925
yeah i did, even simulated the rod angled even further as to go over the shoulder

Not like beam sabers have a blade to get in the way until you turn them on
all you have to do is pop them off the charge port first

First time posting here.
A friend said he can give the finishing touches to my Gourai so I am finally finishing her. Really digging into the whole FA:G thing lately.

>>6474185
Welcome to the slippery slope

I have a problem with paint mixing.

1. The good news is that I managed to figure out the recipe to match the plastic skintone.

So here's the recipes for paint proportions:

Mr Color/GSI Creos:
7:3 - Character Flesh (1) to Character White

Reaper MSP Core Colors:
2:8 - 9445 Youthful Flesh to 9039 Pure White

2. The bad news is that the closest color mix uses Reaper paints. Which is acrylics for wargaming minis. Right now, the Mr Color recipe is slightly off from the plastic skintone by about 1 or 2 steps.

3. How do remedy that Reaper paints will not be as durable as using lacquers, but the tradeoff for color matching is really great?

>>6473771
>Don't really like the way the mouth guard piece looks either
the mouth guard from the helmet can be attached to the beamsaber holder/chest armor iirc

>>6474318
Why do you care about exactly matching the plastic when you're painting? Being 1% off that you won't even notice if you're not holding it right next to the sprue doesn't seem worth getting autistic about.

>>6474341
Autistic about the adjacent color matching? Because I can.

>>6474341
dont be like this anon
>>6474318
ty for the color ratio, i got some ideas out of it

I'm looking to possibly get into this FA girl line, but I wanted to practice on some Gunpla I bought first since it's been years since I built model kits and want to minimize error if possible because of how expensive these are. Does anyone know if the plastic/quality of the kits have gotten any better with these re-releases? Any recommendations as to which girl to start out with?

>>6474433
>Does anyone know if the plastic/quality of the kits have gotten any better with these re-releases?
No one's remarked on the plastic changing but the construction of the newer releases has been getting better. As for recommendations, Jinrai is often recommended due to the number of accessories she comes with, Innocentia or the older Materia are good to have around for dress up purposes and unarmored parts while red Baselard essentially comes with two kits in one box (save a neck and a few cosmetic touches) for that extra bit of practice. You can't really go wrong so long as you avoid Gourai and Stylet though.

>roadrunner and hornet FINALLY shipped

And so the real wait begins.

>>6474341
>doesn't seem worth getting autistic about.

Isn't that whole idea of being autistic? Being overly invested in something most people don't really have any major concern over?

>>6474584
>Isn't that whole idea of being autistic?

Nah, it's about having problems getting social cues without putting a lot of additional learning effort into it.

What you're talkig about is just called "having a hobby".

>>6474594
Shit, looks like I'm autistic

>>6472687
I'm planning on making a combiner out of frame arms using them.

>>6473547
She probably just had a bad breakup and went on a binge.

>>6474433
They're not wholly different from one another in terms of plastic quality. I started out with Materia. I have done some minor fuckups on most of mine, but that's just how it is. Somehow my Innocentia's hip pieces got gouged (I guess when I was masking, but have no idea /how/) when I was in the process of painting them (giving her red pantsu), so it looks shitty and will have to probably putty and redo. Learning experiences, man.

>>6474318
Thanks for testing this. I've noticed a huge variation of colors between FAGs and MDs when playing around with heads (checking their proportions mostly) the other day. Grappler is obviously tanned, but Sniper is very white compared to my FAGs. Just for clarification: are these recipes for FAGs?

Well, your genitals would be touched by many if you'd make a Best Kamen Leper build for your tiny robots and there are a lot of mechs, robots, androids and PA in Nathan Never/Legs Weaver. Heck, if you're feeling lewd, you could grab an aditional couple of Polynas and make your own Legs and the Paladins team.

Orfanis are also an option, but that series is completely unremarkable in general.

I never had that problem with Styler... I did do it to Architect though. Thought the joint was oriented up\down, it was left/right and just snapped it off inside the hair.

I got some replacement joints and fixed it, but I need to paint her hair so it blends.

>>6478435
After the sacrifice of Gourai, I sanded down every joint on Stylet including the twintails. The twintails looked like they might break simply by touching them.

Do you use extra thin cement or normal cement to remove seam lines on FAG?

You could do either. I haven't done it with normal cement, but I feel like it might be more reliable.

>>6480258
>I'm sure there must be a loophole that allow you to legally marry a robo

If you have the cash, any priest will marry you to anything, really. Religion's completely privatized in Japan. They married a teenage boy to the Smoked Cheese meme character couple of years ago.

It won't end up in your family register though.

>>6480941
Both work and I've used both but the thin is easier to work with usually. Capillary action, yo.

>>6479642
Splinter camo sounds like a bloody pain to do.

Extra thin is basically just acetone isn't it? I just got some to try out and it sure smells and acts like acetone.

>>6480311
Is quick drying extra thin bad?
Is it a problem that it dries too fast or does it not weld as well?
The store where I usually buy stuff didn't have that normal extra thin left.

>>6481010
Try MTP where the brush strokes change color from one end to another.

>>6481096
>Is quick drying extra thin bad?

Usually the main issue with plastic cement is that it actually takes ages for its reaction to be done and the weld to be secure.

>>6481107
Well I found another place with both in stock.
http://www.modellbau-koenig.de/Tools_/_Brushes_/_Glue/Glue/Tamiya_extra_thin_Cement/Plastikkleber_duennfluessig_i241_27368_0.htm
http://www.modellbau-koenig.de/Tools_/_Brushes_/_Glue/Glue/Tamiya_extra_thin_Quick_/Plastikkleber_duennfluessig_i241_51086_0.htm
So there is no reason to buy the former if quick setting even has the same price tag?

Also what is this ABS-cement?
http://www.modellbau-koenig.de/Tools_/_Brushes_/_Glue/Glue/TAMIYA_ABS-Cement/Klebstoff_40ml_i241_36843_0.htm

>>6481123
ABS-cement is for ABS-plastics. They basically resist being glued the way a reasonable man with some concerns resists integration of his local schools. They can only be glued with products that create adhesion between the parts by means of a seperating film, like superglue or that ABS cement.

Speed of evaporation with plastic cement used on PS mainly comes into play depending on the part and your style of working them. For large surfarces or if you have to fiddle around with bits until they fit, the usual slow, goopy plastic cement with additions is better. If you can just apply the cement, press the parts and be done with it (like most modern kits) or if you need capillary action, the fast, thin ones should be the way to go.

>>6479684
Like that crack there is a job for thin cement.

>>6481092
>>6481096
>>6481138
Yeah extra thin is pure solvent, could be acetone, or some other organic solvent. The normal thicker cement has 10% or so styrene dissolved in it, check the label for specifics.

Anyway, the lack of dissolved filler material in extra thin means that you shouldn't use it for jobs where you don't want material loss. Seam welding is okay as long as you do not clamp the halves too tightly, but as for cracks, it depends.

When I first opened her box and saw the iridescent parts I was amazed.

Anyone know the mix to use for that more roseish red on innocentia or know a good similar colored paint for it? I like the base color and don't want to do it just straight red.

>>6481145
Extra thin isn't pure solvent (Although it's close). Its got a teeny tiny bit of dissolved resin/plastic in it, which is why there is often some discoloration when you seam weld with it.

>>6481233
Why is cheeseburger so cute? All of my FAGs are cool but she's the only one i find cute.

>>6481293
I don't, but my guess would be that you want to mix a little bit of either an off-white like Deck Tan or a flesh-tone into your red to get that kind of colour. Mixing with pure white will obviously just send you straight to pink.

Actually, it and Jinrai's (red) armor are nearly identical, and according to mech 9's color guide jinrai's armor is essentially red with some white and a tiny bit of reddish brown (depending on paint brand).

I was expecting dickbutt. Then I realized no one uses that anymore and felt old.

I'm stressed and disappointed that I botched the skintone matching recipes.

I had five recipes that turned out different when I airbrushed them onto spoons. They're either too light or not enough orangey enough.

The manual's recipe for skintone is very salmon-y.

I didn't actually think I'd have to end up spraying the shoulder joint parts, so the tolerances are almost OOB with no space for paint layers to wiggle.

How is everyone else doing on that? I need help or a new recipe.

New guy jumping in here. I've never worked with pearl paints before. I assume there's a certain transparency to the paint but you still have to paint more heavily in the areas that aren't see through, right? Or can you achieve that with a consistent coat?

>>6484004
It's a very simple wash.
You can tell that it was one just by the way the paint stayed on and where it pooled up.
You can control where the wash goes by using a wet brush and guiding it where you need it. You can even see his brush strokes on the bottom right cheek, so it's not even something that customizer mastered.

It's very easy to do, but the paint consistency required is something you have to do a lot of research on or just do it yourself practicing different techniques (barely hours of work).
And you have to know when enough is enough. Less is always more.

Ball-chan is confirmed adorable, holy cow. She definitely has some issues, but for a first by this company she's definitely a strong showing.

Pluses:
-Really great balance and leg articulation (esp. without the skirt)
-Actual expressions, if you dig that
-Cute lil articulated hair floofs
-Very modular armor
-Skintone boobplate, if you dig that
-Comes with blank faceplates
-Comes with soft and hard plastic options for most joints
-Very interesting internal mechanisms
-Realistic proportions

Cons:
-Arm guns limit elbow articulation, working on a fix as we speak
-Hands and arms don't quite flow seamlessly (Hand connections to wrists are bigger than wrists, bicep connection to shoulder is a tad offset)
-Parts tend to fall off while posing (mine's kneecaps won't stay on no matter what), especially armor bits and the heels of her shoes if you hit them right

Asra Archer's on Ami

Update on color matching:

GSI/Mr Hobby:

9 parts character flesh 1 to 1 part character white. That's 9:1.

As for Reaper I'm guessing based on previous airbrush results, but it might be 9:2, Pure White to Youthful Flesh.

For the most part, the Mr Color recipe passes a casual observation, but to trick the eye some more, you probably need to go over all flesh tone parts by post-shading with weathering powder.

Fuck, they're already sold out at HS.

thanks, it's my first time greenstuff scultping actually. I just practiced a good bit with clay first which did not get nice textures as easily as the green stuff so I found green stuff shockingly easy when I finally worked with it. I really enjoy using it I am finding, gonna have to invest in bulk buying eventually.

Oh well, that at least reminded me to pre-order the DTA Gourais.

Amiami, ho! HLJ hasn't stocked theirs yet either.

>>6486188
Why do people panic every time this happens like the first round of preorders is your only chance? Ninja "sold out" within like a half hour an was available again the next day, and is still up.

We should really start documenting all this stuff somewhere more permanent than 4chan.

Haven't even taken those sheets out before, where the hell could I even use them? That's gonna be my mystery of the week.

If the FAG anime has taught me anything, it's probably just caught in your skirt.

Nexate is VLOCKer's mecha line, and Fiore is their mecha musume line. However, the armor parts are cross-compatible.

I'm very new to all this and just seen the op image. Could some one tell me who this is?! It would be cool to see more/own it.
