>How do you accessorize your tiny robot girls?
By increasing their effective combat range one hundred-fold.
I actually would like to make a cute little miniskirt for my Valona, but I feel like the fluffy material I have doesn't seem suitable for a succubus like her.
Do people actually go chat on that Rizon channel?

I haven't logged in lately but there used to be a good contingent of Shinkifags that came and went. It's not dedicated to Shinkis though, so don't expect all Shinkitalk all the time.

I just recently got that pack of metal glasses an anon pointed out in a previous thread. I should take pictures.
Anyone know any good figures that come with shinki scale cat paws? Just impulse bought a cat eye decal set and the animal ear parts on hlj so now i need to make a robocatgirl.
>>5534967
I recall three that got some type of pawn.

>>5535067
Not bad fallbacks, but I was hoping for a catpaw the size of a standard shinki (or FAG) hand that I could cannibalize for a full custom.
The Revoltech Melynx might work, though I'm not sure the size of it and I'd rather not wait a few more months.

>Not bad fallbacks, but I was hoping for a catpaw the size of a standard shinki (or FAG) hand that I could cannibalize for a full custom.
Going fully custom seems to be the only option there.
>>5535090
There are probably some prize figures about the right size, but I dont know any specific ones.
>>5534497
It has handlebars. It counts.
>>5534967
I think the bathing suit versions of either Mai-Chao or Howling do. In fact, don't all of the BLADE/Kemotech girls have paw accessories?
As someone should be getting his White Materia in the mail tomorrow.
About the knee joints, should I sand down the peg a bit (making the round peg not so round) for easier knee movement?
I am building Skylet right now, the left knee joint literally stuck. You are turning the blue peg when you moving the black knee part.
I don't want this to happen again.
>>5536242
I heard similar things about Gourai's elboww. I would say sand down the elbows and knees slightly on all FAGs. Don't want to make them floppy, but do give it a little extra clearance for the moving parts.
>>5536242
I have the white materia that i assembled gew days back - the joints were good not too stiff not too lose and i did a raw build. Hope this helps!
>>5535974
Fair enough! That Lego Technic bike Gabu's riding though is fucking sick.
>>5537101
You dont have to ruin it, their paws come off and can be placed in the wrist sockets. I'll take pictures when i get back from work.
Last thread someone mentioned that at one Wonderfest someone presented an obese Shinki body. Anyone have a pic of it?
>>5537613
It was just some generic 1/12 scale obese body gk with a Shinki head stuck on it. Check the archive if you're desperate.
>>5537823
It wasn't posted in the last thread

>>5537842
I dont think anyone else but the guy who posted them saved those, also i dont think the words fat and obese were ever used, it was more along the lines of "what the fuck did they do to that strarf?", so looking for them wont do diddly. You'll have to do it manually.
>>5537562
It came from Throwbots Millennia, with a couple of personal mods. Just FYI, if you wanted to look for it.
>>5538207

>>5538266
This custom is totes adorbs.
Do we know who's coming out after Jinrai? I'm hype as hell for Baselard.
>>5538291
They didn't specify at Wonfes
>>5538291
It just hit me that Baselard isn't using Materia's lower body as a base like Jinrai is.
I thought they'd be basing all of the newer ones off of Materia but I guess I was off the mark.
Will be interesting what the differences are.
>>5538510
As long as its got the improved thighs and fixed hip joint like Materia, it's all good.
>>5538517
It likely will, but I'd imagine the articulation would be even better on baselard thanks to the high cut.
>>5537885
Thanks, looks good! I was thinking of painting them, though, which is what I meant by ruined. I ended up finding a damaged Howling swimsuit on Mandy that I won't feel bad messing with.
>>5538654
Just a reminder, those are the ones that come with Pomock.
Is it possible to sew clothes for my FAGs without a sewing machine?
>>5534129
What kind of fabric is that?
>>5541067
Yes. It will take longer, but it's easier to hand sew at such a small scale. Just practice stitching until you are neat enough.
>>5540932
I'm not saying you're wrong since I don't have them in hand yet, but at the bare minimum, it looks pretty different from the pictures I've seen. Plus, Howling comes with heels instead of footpaws.
>>5541088
Not him, so I may be wrong, but it looks like this Picco Neemo dress. Now that you ask, I'm actually not sure what they're made out of. They feel cotton, but I can't say for certain. The boots are from one of the Assault Lilys, I think, but I'm not sure which one.
>>5541067
Sewing machines are kinda shite at this scale as you're working with part that are smaller than the machine's foot plenty often. Sewing by hand's the way to go, really.
>>5541385
Aparently got things mixed up at some point, i was only talking about Pomock and Partio, i dont have Mao or Howling.
>>5541398
No problem, it's actually very confusing.
Maochao and Howling standard versions come with neither hand nor feet paws
Maochao's swimsuit comes with footpaws, but no handpaws
Howling swimsuit comes with handpaws, but heels instead of footpaws.
And then Partio and Pomock standard version come with both hand and footpaws, but their prototype versions come with neither.
I went with Howling swimsuit because I can use her parts for a cat, dog, or bunny custom just as easily depending on my mood when she gets here.
I need pictures of Gabrine's back/butt with her armor bits on.
>>5542312
You a Shinki-diddler?
>>5542323
Yes but this time i need them for a SFW drawing with her and Renge and Google isn't providing good refferences

Haven't had the time to get my camera out and pose my shinkis for photos.
Good news, I could fit a shinki head on my pico neemo body without needing to modify the neck socket on the neemo body. Now I effectively have 2 Zielbellens instead of one.
>>5542374
Once again, the moral of this comic series is to give you Shikis PLENTY of attention.
>>5534129
>>5543107
I laughed hard anon. And yes, the comic will be exploring that. I don't want to give too much away, but there's a reason master neglects them. Whether or not that reason is one people can agree with though will remain to be seen.
>>5543479
The reason is you're too busy making these comics to actually love your robot girls.

Does anyone here know what the best kind of glue for garage kits is? I have pic related and I still need to put it together.
>>5543681
cyanoacrylate, brass pins and magnets
>>5543691
Thanks for the tip. Will any brand of cyanoacrylate work or is there a specific one that's best for it? Also, What kind of dust mask do you use to protect your lungs from the dust? That's what I'm most worried about with this project.
>>5543744
Cyanoacrylate = Superglue = crazyglue. Doesn't matter the brand, it all works the same.
Well except gorrila glue, cause that has some weird foaming additives.
>>5543479
Calling it now:

Man, I'm being a shit massa/commander/owner.
>>5544109
No problem. Work on your google-fu though, friendo. I found those just image searching for "busou shinki gabrine"
Horse shoe crabs are pretty cute but my shinki seems to think otherwise
Head's up about some chinese manufacturer called "Merit International". Their Soviet Gorjunov SG-43 SGM 1/6 is a pretty decent fit for people who appreciate Fort Brag-like back cannons.
>>5544935
Dood, sand down those nubs on the cannon, they look really obvious and could scratch your stuff.
It's pretty cool, although I still have a soft spot for Arnval MKI's beam cannon.
>>5544180
There was a period of my life where I refused to collect anything cute so the only Shinki I bought when it was out was Grappapp and a Strarf for her body. Then they all went extinct and I succumbed to kawai ugu and it was too late to get them for a reasonable price.
You can make anything cute by investing in doll clothes though, even Grappapp.
>>5544935
Jesus christ boy did you rip that off the runner?
>>5544458
I had to change the perspective of Gabs because the pose wasnt dynamic enogh compared to Renge's, those still didnt quite were what i first had in mind but stll i had to thank for the help.

Welp, bit the bullet and got the shinki bare feet off Shapeways in the mail today. My Grap on Yda's body is the only shinki I have assembled atm so had to try out the feet on it first.
>>5545716
Woops, let me try that again.
Despite the grittiness, they're not bad to me.
>>5545716

>>5545716

>>5545726
>>5545729
Thanks for this, I was considering grabbing a couple pairs. Being able to get them in different colors is nice, but the texture looks a bit too off for me, and sanding them down enough looks like it'd make them too small or ruin the detail. I think I'll stick with resin for now
>>5545759
If you use very fine grit sandpaper you should be fine.
>>5545775
Ah, thanks. Maybe I will try a set or two one day if I need some in a specific color, or if I get bored of deadly deadly resin.
>>5545789
Get it in non-colored polished WSF, then dye it how you want once you've sanded it.
>>5545789
One thing to note is that they are a rather tight fit (the colored ones, anyway) and the bottom indents for the nubs on Shinki heel-joints don't quite fit into them.
Welp, I finally bit the bullet and got my first shinki. Now that I've got an income, I guess I'll slowly chip away at that backlog of must-haves I got all those years ago.
How hard is it to find an altlene with her bonus helmet? I wouldn't doubt it's expensive, but how bad is it normally?
>>5546485
I'd estimate around 15000 to 25000 yen for altlene depending on whether or not she has the wutang helm.
Personally just got a normal altlene without the helm and then bought the helm off of YJA.
>>5546516
And one for a bit cheaper.

This price seems kind of steep for a recast of just the head. Does this come with the body too?
>>5546523
Nope just the head and hair unpainted, no eyes either.
>>5546523
The candy meteor girls are adorable. I wish they were easier to get.
What should I use to remove a shinkies eyes? I want to give my fubuki type 2 a sleeping face
>>5546915
rubbing alcohol works, apparently. That or try lacquer thinner.
Also, I suggest grabbing a spare head from YJA and doing it on that instead of damaging your shinki permanently
>>5546932
Cheers, got a spear head ready, now I just gotta not fuck up the whole process
I made this for my second Lavina who came without armour years ago but I never really got around to posting it.
Anyone else get one of these sweet, sweet rivetless recast bodies? Just tossed my first of two together and I've gotta say it's worth every penny. I highly recommend them if he runs the mold again. I ordered two bodies, two extra sets of chest, two blank heads, and two painted heads, and I've only found one bubble. Thinking of going full retard with the other and making either that black cow girl (though I may wait until I can find a broken Graffias for her) or maybe Original the Character since I got a couple blank heads with it.
Shitty pic, sorry. When I get a real camera, I will take ten good pictures for every shitty picture I've posted here.
>>5547913
How does it feel compared to a regular mms body?
>>5548077
It feels pretty good. It's resin, so it feels much more like a doll body than a toy body. Way more matte than normal Shinkis. Texture wise, it feels like Picco Neemo bodies. I'm not sure if resin or plastic is more durable, but I'm not used to resin so I'm babying it for now. I'm especially nercous about that horseshoe shaped hip joint. It's a very faithful recreation, just with resin joints replacing the rivets, so articulation is just as good as a normal MMS3rd.
Only major complaint is the chest piece, which is rigid resin and I can already tell it will be the first thing to break. (which is why I got extras) Though on the other hand, I felt the chest of the MMS3rd was the weak point there. And megamelons makes everything worth it.
>>5548127
Did you have to glue the parts together or does the body still have screwholes?
>>5548142
The holes are there, but it works like a regular plastic model where it's just a resin peg through a little cap. Hopefully you'll be able to tell what I mean from this pic.
And it definitely needs glue. The fits aren't nearly as precise as a factory made toy. You could get it together without glue, but it'd fall apart after a few poses. Especially the joint caps, which would be super easy to lose.
The neck, upper arm sockets, and thigh sockets needed to be tightened up with nail polish, but the rest of the joints fit well. I needed to widen the hand holes a bit with an x-acto knife, too

Taobao. Here's the seller's store. I think he ships to America, but I went through a proxy because I'm retarded. He doesn't have any blanks up, but they sold out super fast, so I'm sure he'll run the mold again. I actually got lucky and snagged two that someone else canceled.
https://shop68300666.taobao.com/?spm=a1z0b.7.0.0.sHohTK
>>5549222
Oh, he ships outside China now? I didn't realize. Not that I've used Taobao in a while.
>>5549270
The site implies that by listing USPS as a shipping option, but I honestly have no idea. I think you have to sign up with Alipay still, and that's where I gave up. It's worth the middleman fees to save the headache.
Here's a question: If you were in charge of the revival of Busou Shinki, and got to pick an artist to do the character designs for a pair of new Shinki figures, who would you pick? What would the "theme" be?
For the artist, I'd pick Satoshi Urushihara, as quite frankly the guy's art is god-tier. Like the best parts of 80s and 90s anime rolled together. As for the theme, possibly a crustacean theme (so spiny lobster and king crab) or a construction theme (so cement mixer and bulldozer maybe?).
>>5534494
Another storyline draws to a close. Thanks for reading!
>>5549769
> "Was it good for you?"
>>5542246
Cozy as fuck.
I like to imagine the Shinkis and FAGs don't get along purely because the Shinkis feel threatened by how long I spend on each kit.
>>5549980
You. I like you.
>>5550171
>>5549546
Think i recognize the style from some H ova with some guy the girls called big fucking john or something.
Anyway, whatever artist would do as long as it's not the guy behind the Gradius sister or the dude that designed Artille and Raptias.
>>5549546
Ikuto Yamashita - the guy who does all the Eva Anima stuff.
Also:
>Dude can you design a giant, eva sized Asuka? Seriously, in our story, Asuka accidentally merges with her eva. It's not a fetish thing or nothin bro.
>o..ok...
>>5550562
That'd be awesome. Yamashita is a fantastic artist. Sadamoto would be a good candidate too, though I don't know how good he is at mechanical design.
Another good option (don't know if he's done some already) would be Mika Akitaka. He's great at Mecha Musume and he's a well established mecha designer too. IIRC he did the designs for Galaxy Fraulein Yuna. Pic related was a drawing of Squid Girl as a MM he did.
>>5550576
A shinki modeled after Ika Musume with articulated tentacle-hair would be cool as hell. Make it so like Maryceles she has sockets in the tentacle hair for pegging weapons on.
>>5550583
Aye, it would. Mecha-Squiddy would be a thing of beauty.
>>5550172
Super cute.
>>5549546
I want whoever made that Nipako kit hired immediately to make that a proper figure.
Mostly just because I'm afraid of working with resin.
Do any of you guys know anything about making/attaching cloth skirts to Frame Arms Girls without it looking like shit?
The plastic ones that are a part of the kit don't look very good, and they seem to impede movement a little.
>>5551760
Gauze is currently the best material to work with, there's a guide floating around.

It's just Merienda with a wizzad hat.
>>5557735
I don't like this anime. this is my opinion
So exactly how cross-compatible are shinki's with FAGs? I have a couple Shinks and plan on ordering more fags as they come out but I have this strange sense they're related.
>>5557479
that concerned Bright Feather
>>5557857

So /toy/ is it too late to sell off unwanted shinkis?
>>5559274
No.
>>5552819
Is Materia compatible with shinki armor parts? If not, wasn't there supposed to be another blank body type from Koto?
>>5559277
What's a reasonable selling price outside of ebay's current shinki pricing norm of GOUGE ME PLENTY? I was thinking 120-150% of the original retail price.
>>5559280
Depends of the Shinki popularity.
post what shinki you want to sell.
>>5559280
Depends on the Shinki.
>>5559295
I think Maryceles can fetch a good price.
Dunno about that Strarf Bis.
>>5559274
If you have an Oorb I'll take her off your hands
>>5559295
Your best bet is to list them off Mandy price.
So I'm considering getting some more Shinkis. I only have Espadia at the moment but I love her and I think I need more. Obviously Lancamento is a must as she's her wavemate, but what are some other good ones that can be had for fairly reasonable prices? I was considering getting the Fort Bragg set and the sports outfit body for her (as it's the cheapest "custom" body on Mandy ATM) but I'm not sure if the body would be compatible (I know mixing MMS 1st and 3rd bodies is a very bad idea). I would get Murmerltier (or whatever the panzer Shinki is called) but she's ridiculously pricey.
Also, how would I best go about making a cloak for Shinkis like pic related?
>>5559354
Lemuria fetches a higher price than normal Maryceles.
>>5559386
>I would get Murmerltier (or whatever the panzer Shinki is called) but she's ridiculously pricey.

Niggas still drunk?
Thought I'd have some fun with my sole Shinki, Espadia. I seriously need to get a better photo setup.
I love coming up with new configurations for her. I tells yer, the modularity on these things is fucking great. I'd love it if Kotobukiya or someone made Shinki-compatible unpainted model kits you could use to make armour, weapons, appendages or just blocks to bulk out the figures.

Now you must claim her sister. Lancamento is just as much fun. Almost makes me wanna buy 2 more just to have in their armored forms.
>>5560241
Sorry, I meant made of the two girls' ARMORS combined.Pic included for clarity.
Just got this email from Kotous.
Looks like Blue Impulse Stylet is going to be released in the US as well.
>>5559295
I'd say around 120 would be a pretty decent price for Lemuria.
Strarf bis, probably 50

If you're getting fort bragg, just splurge and get her dusk version.
It's worth it.
>>5560522
Lucky. I wish Koto did cons in my country.
>>5560522
Fucking Eggplanes are cute.
Is Zelnogrard any good? She looks to be more lightly equipped than some of the other figures but she still looks fun. I like the swappable cannons.
>>5560670
She comes with some futuristic shield bits, but that's not the important part.
She gets swappable expressions whereas the vanilla fort bragg only has one head.
>>5560758
Her arms and legs can be swapped into rather gigantic guns. I think potentially you can swap all her limbs into guns if you wanted to with the exception of her head.
>>5560913
OK, thanks. If I see her for a non-wallet-rape price on Mandy I'll get the Dusk variant. And thanks for the info on Zelnogrard! She looks pretty great- if I could I'd form a little squadron out of her, Fort Bragg and Murmeltier. Shinki artillery corps, man.

You should get a Gourai to go with them.
I've been sort of hunting for a Werkstra Commando so I can make a special ops team out of all the black version, myself.
How to practice so I don't completely screw up my FAGs and Koto KOS-MOS kits? Should I first do some model car kits from the hobby shop?
Thank goodness for that plamodel newbie guide.

Bootleg gundam are cheap. The polycaps are shit, as expected. But you can use the parts for neat custom ideas.
>>5562094
Go on dalong.net and find an HG you like. Practice on that.
Question to the anon who bought blank shinki recasts from:
http://world.taobao.com/item/520101352067.htm
I bought 3 bodies and payed 150 yuan and got to the page in pic, but is that it or are there other fees I have to pay such as shipping?
>>5562438
Not that anon, however I did purchase a recast from that seller a year or so ago. Used a middleman though.
It looks like that price may simply be a deposit to reserve one?
>>5562094
Other kits. You basically have to learn how to deal with nubs and you can't do that without having some nubs to practice on.
If you're trying to be hardcore, get some really cheapass terrible WW2 fighter aircraft and try to turn them into something presentable. That requires all the tools of the trade - the knives, the files, the sandpaper, putties and seam filler, pla-plates, clamps and heath guns.

It's a shame the blank Shinkis are so fucking expensive or I'd get a few and buy some older Airfix Spitfires for cheap and convert a sort of "sister" for Asuka from the parts.
For that matter it's a shame Asuka is so bloody expensive.
>>5562094
Kits of mobile suits from the current gundam show are around 1000 yen each before shipping.
Grab a graze or something and practice on that.
Or get some old military plamo like the other anon said and learn the hard stuff.
>love robot girls
>have aigis coming in the mail any day now
>promised myself I wouldn't buy any other girl figures
>suddenly find this thread
I'm not good at keeping promises after all.

Welcome to the fold. Which will be your first?
Mine was Maryceles.
>>5562757
You are a little late to the party, but welcome anyway.
Check Mandarake or try to find that guy in the thread that wanted to sell a Maryceles Lemuria and a Strarf Bis. And yes, we know that the aftermarket prices are insane.
>>5562757
I like robot girls but I personally don't really like this stuff, they're basically just anime girls with robotic armor on, I prefer metal faces.
>>5562707
Planelegs are reasonably easy to do.
>>5562798
I can appreciate both. It's a shame that I don't see many nice metal face figs. I guess your average anime grill just sells better
>>5562879
>that fucking drill hair
>>5562879
>>5562468
Ok, guess I'll have to wait and see
Just ordered Strarf Mk2 Lavina and Lancamento from Mandy. Can't wait for them to get here, but I'm going to have to because
>SAL
Still, more Shinkis! Hooray!
