For those unfamiliar, "Plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model." If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

>>5669221
what? i got mine for 90 AUD, and the Australian dollar is complete and utter shit.
Where are you looking?
>>5669233
No you got the Hyaku-Shiki Kai MP.
The Kai just got announced at the Shizuoka show
>>5669239
Ohh, okay. That makes sense.
>>5669224
That still doesnt answer if i give him the succ or not
>>5669254
Do it faggot, questions later.
What are some good alternative Plamo to gundams that costs like an HG/RG
>>5669307
Cars, tanks, planes?
>>5669307
Guns, ships, bikes, SciFi stuff?
>>5669307
Some Kotobukiya kits are cheaper than others, for example the 1/144 Muv-luv kits are priced closer to RGs. They're HG quality though, Bandai just has better prices thanks to economy of scale.
>>5669307
Some of those Koto Frame Arms kit [spoiler]not the FAG[/spoiler] are around the price of an RG or a cheaper MG.
Quality is almost RG like with prebuilt inner frame.
Worse part separation, poor articulation and no decals.
They does look cool though, have pretty great design and customisation options.
I currently only have the Magatsuki Houten and planning to get the Durga II.
I don't do gunpla but I have a question I figured would be worth asking here.
I'm looking to paint a controller. I can't afford an airbrush, otherwise I'd go straight to that. I tried using a Testors spray can on one but I laid the paint on way too thick way too quickly and it turned out awful.
What my ignorant ass would like to know is if low pressure cans would help at all? I was looking some up and Montana Gold and MTN 94 looked like my best bets, particularly the 94 since it's easier and cheaper to get the colors I want.
>>5669340
move the can back a little and spray in several coats.
Also best to get some urethane primer and use some sand paper to rough up the surface for mechanical adhesion
>>5669346
I did do four coats, but I'm sure I did it too close. The paint looked wetter than it probably should have even after one coat.
I also did sand it down before priming, but I used an enamel primer instead of urethane. I did talk to another guy who's experienced with this kind of stuff and he also specifically mentioned urethane primer, is there that much difference between the two? I'm familiar with the differences between acrylic, enamel and lacquer paints now but not so much primers.
>>5669355
polyeurethane is very hardy and tough, especially for a controller which will be handled pretty much non stop, you want something tough. What colour are you painting it in?
Another place which is better to ask is DIY
>>5669361
I see, that makes sense. Looking at a sort of medium electric blue for the top and yellow for the bottom. And I forgot to think about asking them, thanks.
>tfw trying to find storage spot for 8 unbuilt 1/100s, 3 unbuilt FAGs and unbuilt liger zero panzer
so Astaroth's Sub-Knuckle has the Hyakuren's side skirt armor, does that mean it can carry the Hyakuren's Knuckle Guard?
haven't seen any pics of anyone trying this, though.
>>5669449
I feel your pain, friend.

You must be new here. Although they have done it from time to time with some stuff like metal gear, they generally do not Restock
>>5669449
Are the zoids models any good? I remember the liger from the show years ago, and though it might be neat to get one.
>>5669462
No, the gap made to expose the topside of the sub knuckle on the Astaroth is already way too wide for Hyakuren's Knuckle Guards.
Remember, the gap in Hyakuren's side skirts are barely wider than the back of a hand.
Sweet jesus.
Why, exactly, are the default closed fists on RGs "flat"? Why aren't they molded with more depth, i.e. rounded?

Same goes for all his builds. Like his mlp quinn mantha, i feel bad for that poor sd
By bid for the new RE/100 is the Zaku III because that thing has a lot of potential to pump out two P-Bandai kits.

>Zaku III Custom
>>5670316
I just happened to find this guys videos last night too
honestly, his custom builds are a lot better than a lot of bigger gunpla youtubers and I wonder why he doesn't have more viewers
Probably scares most people away with this weeb shit
>>5670356
what is a custom?
I see a lot of customs around, but don't know what it means in the context of kit names
>>5670372
>I see a lot of customs around, but don't know what it means in the context of kit names

speaking of him, RE 1/100 Hamma Hamma when Bandai
Personally I need the Sleeves version.
>>5670384
they're all ugly as fuck
zaku ii is the only good zaku
>>5670401
This. Zaku III somehow manages to fuck up one of the nicest mobile suit designs by making it look like something a 13 year old metal fan would draw in his maths book.
>>5670368
Probably has something to do with him having the most annoying voice on youtube, and being a colossal autist.
>>5670401
>>5670424
If its name wasn't Zaku, would it be a good design?
>>5670384
The Green one is the Custom, grey is the standard Zaku III, casual
>>5670372
personalised for a certain pilot.
custom colours, eg johnny raiden and black tri star custom zaku II high mobility has a different colour scheme to a regular high mobility zaku II.
could also be added shit, eg psychoframe, more arms or thrusters, eg char's zaku ii which is three times faster than a regular zaku ii. or has different trimmings like dozle's or garma's zaku II.
you know what 'custom' means, right?
>>5670725
I wonder what paint they used.
>The pilot wants a custom color. Order 10 thousand bottles of char red from Mr hobby.
>>5670664
Tfw like the zaku 3 custom better then the zaku II
Outside the f2000, of course.
I like bulkier suits, the zaku just doesn't do it for me.
>>5670725
ya know back in the days, 'custom' was used so liberally all kits of the grunts from gw to gx had the word custom in it.
>>5670824
jenice and daughtress 'custom' were customised versions of the old jenice and daughtress suits.
the custom in the endless waltz suits probably was just added to differentiate the ova and tv designs.
>>5670401
AoZ Reboot kits when?
>>5670828
Not really, the Serpent, Leo, and Taurus also had it.
The X and Wing grunts in games and most official docs don't get the custom label at all.
Does anyone know what the difference between a candy coat and a pearl coat is? From What I've read, pearl coats just have another clear coat of a color close to the base's color.
>>5670384
It is one of the few gray coloured mobile suits in Gundam as gray is the most utilitarian colour for a combat machine.
Turned a thunderball from a FG into an HG and now I'm making an inner frame for an RG

>>5669804
>the fingerprints
I made a comment on leddit and figured I might find a thread on this board, too so I just want some advice from you guys. I'm interested in joining this hobby and I was recommended the RX 78 2 revive and I think I already have the tools I need. Is that a good first kit and do you have any tips for starting out?
roast me faggots
>>5671473
Weld your seams faget
>>5671480
no i don't wanna buy putty
>>5671466
It is an excellant first kit to test the waters of the hobby. To start off make sure you have a pair of proper cutters (NOT wire cutters or scissors, those just chew up and stress the plastic) and a hobby knife (Basic xacto knife is what most people seem to have) for removing nubs. Maybe some high grit sand paper as well.
Give the guide in the OP a read.
>>5671473
....what is the acetone/nail polish remover in the back for? Are you going to melt him?
>>5671500
paint clean-up, ya drangus
also huffing
>>5671487
Buy tamiya extra-thin ciment
>>5671514
yeah but i'm prone to fucking up like a big dummy, i don't want to seamweld two parts and then realize I've forgotten to put a polycap in
>>5671519
Usually I build the whole once, and prepare the parts I'm later going to seam weld by making them easier to disassemble. It's much harder to forget something that way
>>5671526
That's turning "fun hobby" into "chore list" to me.
>>5671530
To each their own, I build gunpla to busy my hands while watching something else or reading for uni. But straight builds seems kinda like wasted money when you can easily complete them under two hours.
>>5671538
Two hours of entertainment for 15 bucks isn't too bad.
I see what you're saying, though. I mostly just build as something to do. If I was really dying for a Shining that was all gussied up and nice, I'd go for the RD.
>>5671519
You can apply extra thin cement after putting parts together. It'll seep in just enough that you can push the parts together and create a bond.
>>5671546
Wouldn't that run the risk of it oozing into panel lines and fucking everything up?
>>5671549
It's thin so no. Just let it dry completely. If you mean the melted plastic from when you cement two parts together, then that happens no matter what. Just clean it with a scriber.
Well, do what you want. But sealing seams can really make a kit shine.
>>5671473
Looks good.
>>5671566
danks senpai
>>5671473
Hell its alot better looking then the one i built
>>5671473
Weld your seams.
Don't panel line unwelded seams.
Sand those mold lines off the sides of the shields.
Get some topcoat on him.
Honestly anon, that's all I've got, he looks pretty good.
When was the last time he broke something?
Question for anyone here who has bought from Taobao.
What client do you use?
>>5671683
I think he broke a piece during the Nu Ver. Ka
Reposting from /m/ because I'm scared.
The gold on the shiki ver 2.0 have started to turn orange. It's just on the runner for now though. Any idea of what is happening?
>>5671751
It would help if you focused on the proper subject for the photo, but I kinda see the issue.
I don't know what's causing it; are you storing it in some extreme conditions? At any rate, just strip the paint on the affected parts and use Krylon Short Cuts gold.
>>5671761
have a pure time
>>5671751
did you even look at your picture before you posted it
how the hell are we supposed to tell what's going on
>>5671807
Fuck I'm retared
>>5671811
>no actual part affected
Youre doing a good job of getting (You)s
If no part is affected but worrying bout it, just paint it instead of posting
>>5671818
If I wanted (you)s I would have shitposted on /v/. I just don't want the parts to get fucked that's all.
>>5671830
You are fine. The orange has probably been there the whole time. Its just paint pooling from when the runners were sprayed.
>>5671830
Then paint it fucktard
>>5671843
Go back to /m/ if youre gonna be this fucking retarded
Is this kit supposed to be as expensive as I've seen it listed for?
>>5671927
>Is this kit supposed to be as expensive as I've seen it listed for?
Could you be any more vague? Just check one of the big 3 for an accurate price, being retail minus a bit of a discount.
Excuse the potato pic. I got a modeller spirit shield liger Mk II, and goddamn Tomy. Not only are a lot of parts pre-painted, but they also have some of the decals on already (and they don't feel cheaply applied either!) I may need to get more of these.
Also, since it's 1/144, I finally have zoids to go with my High Grade kits.
>>5671927
8000 yen rrp. Box is the size of MG Sazabi.
6400 - 6800 on Japanese sites.
If you buy it locally, you'll be paying more.
>>5671934
Yeah, I got their command wolf recently. The kits are really nice. Like HG versions of the Koto kits. I kind of wish they had just left the display bases out though and just reduce the cost of the kit.
>g-arcane has red polycaps
Well that's a pain in the ass, I planned on painting this thing.
What do ya'll think of this pain scheme? Just imagine it with the Barbatos 6th form shoulders.
>>5671683
I am always afraid of this happening on all those kits with the fancy hip gimmick.
Everyone who has built the origin probably already notice the stress mark appearing in the hip peg already.
>>5672131
Is it supposed to be red, gold and silver? If so, I honestly suggest you drop gold or silver, mixing them never seems to look right.
>>5672095
>g-arcane
paint the polycaps
>>5672210
>Painting polycaps
Polycaps don't like to stay painted.
>>5672221
get some grey ones off another kit
Whats the cure time on Mr. Hobby Aqueous?
I painted some parts last night and I want to tape them.
>>5672194
I could do just gold and silver, but I still want the red. Seems like two much of all three just won't work, so I'll go for silver and keep gold for details. Which of these two is better?
>>5672244
I would honestly say use gold or silver as the frame color, and then paint some small bits of the armor here and there with the other. Red would be fine as the primary color.
Hell, you could even do a red frame, and then go the other way with it if you wanted.
>>5672131
IT LOOKS SO BALD
So I'm pretty new to painting, and I noticed that after painting and putting my kits back together, the joints are noticeably more loose than they were before. What's up with that?
>>5672261
Uh....what? Like how? Are you masking of the contact points on the joints or...like my brain isn't really comprehending this one.
>>5672244
Slap a R-GyaGya fin on that thing.
>>5672265
Well, for example, I've spray painted three HGUC GMs for practice, and after painting, all three have the leg strength of a small paraplegic girl. None can stay up without the knee joints bending completely or something. I did mask the polycaps and everything, so I don't know if it's just because I didn't mask correctly or something else is happening.
>>5672234
2 days for acrylic
>>5672274
Bruh I think you have magical powers. Every kit I do, even with masking, ends up stronger. But seriously, easy way around it is to spray or brush on a small amount of Future or other gloss coat, tightens joints really easily without sealing them.
>>5672284
Alright, thanks a bunch.
>>5672194
>mixing them never goes right
Red/silver/gold are my custom colors and those are fighting words gelgoog-sama
>>5672131
Very niceu
[spoiler] now give it a v fin or something jesus it looks bald [/spoiler]
So guys, How do you store/organize all your assorted paint and plamo supplies.
I have all my stuff in a toolbox right now but its not really working that great, thinking about getting some of those plastic rubbermaid drawers or something.
>>5672244
torso of left
legs of right
and make the back of the elbows red
>>5671934
Yeah, I never see much of anything about these.
Having damn near all the decorations pre-applied is really nice and puts them perfectly in the markets of "kids" and "fuck I'm burned out please let this be easy".
I really wish I could see more about those kits, the only indications I've had of their existence were the eight kits dalong reviewed three years ago.
>>5672323
I have my pens, brushes, clippers, and knives standing in a brush organizer from an art store.
I've got the brush organizer, thinner jars, cement, toothpicks, and other tall miscellanies penned up in a small cardboard tray on the side of my desk.
And I've got all my paints, masking supplies, and other small miscellanies in my top desk drawer.
I also hang a shoe rack over the desk to dangle active sprues from.
Oh, and snacks in the bottom drawer.
>>5672385
I thought i had one in those colors but didnt after looking through my stuff. But i do use alot of red/gold/silver onto my customs
>>5672323
All the bottle paints, primer and putty are in the drawers. Brushes and holders are in a container at the top.
I build on another table as there's too much on this one.
>>5672523
It's a mess of course.
>>5672487
Still don't like it. All three of those colors are ones that scream primary or tertiary to me. Honestly now I kind of want to make something weird with a red frame and silver armor though.
I just picked up the Barbatos yesterday and I'm loving the articulation of its skeletal structure, especially for a MG kit.
Requesting a little help here... I'd like to match this shade of blue in the water tanks in pic related... anybody know of a shade which approximates this in the various available paints? Preferably something I could use in an airbrush.
>>5672250
A gold inner frame wouldn't be too bad.
>>5672258
>>5672266
>>5672320
The only extra headpiece I have is the headpiece for the Graze Ritter that came with the Barbatos 6th form.
>>5672328
>torso of left, legs of right
That looks pretty solid.
Any recommended paint for the LBX model kits? First time doing this, just want to fill in the minor details missing on some of the bots (basic whites, dark gray)
>>5672567
The Graze Ritter one is practically the same as the R-Gyagya. You should totes put that on there with the Gold color.
>>5672541
Well thats just your opinion man. Color tastes are subjective, unless its that reddits destiny from early on than no that is just shit colors
>>5672565
Vallejo light turquoise or electric blue maybe.
>>5672577
Yeah...I think that one's up there with nub Blue Destiny and Red Cliff.
>>5672581
Well, no offense but that's pretty ironic given your own graze man. I know the color scheme was Gold/White/Pink, but you really didn't make it work. Like at all.
Should've made the frame pink with the armor being White/Gold.
>>5672581
I still dont see why no one told him to use gold. I know he's "colorblind", but i feel like gold woulda helped it not look so shitty
>>5672323
Old cigar box that holds my paint markers, copic pens, shit that I use frequently like x-acto knives, nippers, etc.
Teeny tiny rubbermaid thing with three drawers that I keep joints, spare parts, and the like in.
Small rubbermaid tub that holds paints that I'm not using, molding putty, resin mix, masking tape, bamboo skewers, my dremel case, and a box of disposable gloves.
Everything else is scattered on the folding table I use as my work space.
>>5671683
Well, I'm pretty sure he can easily get replacement parts in Korea
>Release date
>Never
>>5672680
Bandai likes to advertise things as a month then release on the 29th s probably around then.
>>5672680
My buddy in Japan already got his. Maybe they havent gotten their shipment
>>5671761
By what voodoo did you get the 2.0 to attach to the action base?
>>5672323
>we post work areas now
Drawers are justice. Clear ones are the best.
>>5672761
This looks cinematic.
>>5672541
Silver up a Red Frame?
Oh, a group build idea?
>>5672761
i hope that isn't all the light for your desk you'll get eye strain!
>>5672323
I don't have much in terms of supplies (poorfag)
but I have a lot of Vallejo Model Color in the drawers and a lot of brushes!
>>5672523
What's that stuff you're using to keep the sticks standing?
What do you guys think is the best acrylic paint for spray painting?
>>5672902
it's literally just a bunch of pieces of cardboard stuck together
>>5672904
Tamiya
>>5671498
I use a box cutter to remove nubs.
>>5671934
>>5672007
I was leery of the MSS line cause they looked so unimpressive next to their HMM brethren, but I got one in the last HLJ sale on a whim and...I gotta say, I'm sorta impressed. The prepainted and decaled parts are really nice, and there is a surprising amount of complexity to the builds given how small they are. Which brings me to the size. These things are SO TINY.
I did not expect something this damn small to come out of a box the size of a standard HG Gundam's. I guess that's the price you pay for a high parts count, even if said parts are tiny as fuck.
>>5672926
Also an interesting tidbit: I did a rough count after building cause I was curious, and this tiny little thing has like 70+ individual pieces in it. Not bad for something only slightly taller than a fucking Megabloks minifig.
>>5672708
From what I can tell, shops in Japan already got the shipment and some are already selling them even though the release date is the 21.
>>5672761
Hey! It's that faggot that bought every kind of God Hand Nipper AND the stand!
Don't you have a board meeting to be at Mr. Moneybags?
>>5669588
Like >>5669597 says, koto rarely restock a if ever. The zoids at least are starting to get some reissues thanks to the popularity and to help build awareness that the line has entered its 'second season' with new kits coming. Just keep an eye out for those monthly reissue lists from koto, I am sure you will see blade liger eventually on there, the Zoe on the other hand, keep waiting or just give up on them.
I think the fag kits immense popularity are really helping koto rethink their previous stances on reissue kits in general considering the number that have been reissued in the past year.
Worked on the Graze this weekend. Need dark green, yellow and weapons to paint.
Also, anyone notice that the shoulders are basically the mkII's on backwards?
>>5672993
I don't see it.
This may sound stupid, but can you use temporary tatoos on kits?
>>5673021
I think so. You just have to put some top coat or something to not peel afterwards.
>>5673025
Thanks. I'm trying to make some of the buildings from the slums in ibo and I do not trust in my skills to create tiny graffiti.
Come to think of it I bet model train stuff has graffiti decals too.
I'M SCREAMING!
>>5673029
That's a really nice idea, def try it out.
>>5672323
Like this.
Helps that I have a spare room in the house to dedicate to it (though it's 'supposed' to be an office for the couple of days a week I work from home).
>>5673029
There most certainly IS stuff like that. N-Scale's what you want.
>>5673029
There's also a selection of faded building ads available in the same scale, all from some company selling them on Amazon called Moon Sugar Decals.
>>5673048
So organized
So comfy
I envy you, anon
Are the good smile company gradius kits available anymore or am I doomed to never get one? All I ever see is the shitty sky girls version
>>5673040
Wait a minute, are rubb-on tattoos the same thing as dry transfers!? How did I never make this connection?
>>5672718
I just used one of the connectors. Not sure of the type off the top of my head, but I remember you gotta kinda jam it in. It fits in quite snugly.
>>5673144
I'm not sure if that is the case.
Also the applications of that are pretty limited.
But neat if true.
>>5673048
Wait, where the hell does that spraybooth exit?
>>5673048
very nice
is that spray booth ventilated?
>>5672323
I don't have a lot of room, and build on my computers desk
I keep tools and supplies in on of my gunpla boxes and just leave my spray paints wherever
So I'm looking to buy a scribing tool, do you guys recommend any brand or something in particular, or are they all pretty much the same in terms of performance?

is this the type of gold plastic that turns to dust after a few years?
>>5673246
It's the shit poster from /m/, just ignore
>>5673251
Nah, its just gloss injected pearlish swirly crap that they always use to represent metallic colors on bare plastic. It holds up fine with age, it just looks like ass.
Guys, I've been making mockups of how to paint my Architect, and while I'm not the kind to toot my own horn I gotta say... I think I might be pretty motherfucking terrible at it.

you cunts never told me that extra-thin cement was easy as fuck to use.
looked up a video tutorial and it seems almost moron-proof.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2clHW2UN0w
unless this guy's lying, of course.
So I remember a while back that someone here painted a Rick Dom in Gato's blue/green color scheme. Which Tamiya cans did you use again?

It is easy as fuck to use.
The only thing I've always been concerned about was whether or not all the cement fumes I end up inhaling along with the cement dust from sanding are giving me cancer or something
>>5673330
nah senpai that's resin
but yeah, cement and panel line accent.

you cunts really should emphasize how easy this stuff is to use in the general. Capillary action, etc.
>>5673341
Hobby acement contains some acetone and other strong solvents. You don't want to put your nose to the bottle but for normal use it shouldn't be dangerous. In other words, don't do it in a completely closed off room
taking the plunge and buying some tamiya cement s.
should i just get one jar or should i grab two or three? i've got no idea how long a jar would last for an amateur and i've also got no idea what a decent price for a jar would be.
So I was wondering: When will the next group build start?
How do you even chose what group build to do?
>>5673545
Don't they put it to a vote or something?
>>5673545
Whenever someone has a good idea that people show interest in. We have had a string of poor turnouts though. The only ones that seem to get attention are ones with the opportunity for a prize.
>>5673653
How about gms
Does anyone have a collection of the Nomo Ken books in PDF? Would really appreciate a share!
>>5673653
Knights. Knights are always a good theme.
>>5673653
think the last time we had a prize was the one I did? couple of summers ago when rg z'gok came out
though I think someone after had a prize but can't remember
>>5673163
Out the window, the trunking is hidden away behind the desk tidies when not in use.
>>5673164
It is, yes. Just hidden at the moment. Though I don't always use it. If I'm spraying something like Vallejo MA I'll use it just to remove the particulate matter (with a respirator at the same time of course) and just vent in to the room.
If, though, I were spraying something like Tamiya or Mr Color which I would use a lacquer thinner it's full DEFCON one time and all efforts are made to vent the fumes as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Fucking clicked post not Browse...
>>5673660
Why not run with this one. Just do an HGUC GM as it's super cheap and actually a pretty good kit with lots of opportunities for customization.
Keeps it inclusive no?
Anons I have a question that I haven't really found a clear answer to that I'm hoping you can answer for me.
In most guides people recommend applying a clear coat over the paint before applying decals/pannel lining. Is this a gloss or a mat coat?
>>5673788
Gloss. Gloss is smooth, matte is "rough" for lack of a better term.
>>5673791
You're the man Gelgoog! Now that you explain it that is actually kind of obvious isn't it?
So if you finish with a mat top coat it won't come out glossy anyway because the top coat breaks the light again?
>>5673799
Nope, if you're gloss coat is super glossy you might need to do more passes with the matte coat, but it should work fine.
>>5673806
Thanks again
>>5673437
I've had the same small bottle for several years, you really don't need a lot of cement even for seam welding
>>5673437
>i've got no idea how long a jar would last
it depends on how soon you spill it all over your desk
>>5674120
Or leave it unscrewed for days before noticing a weird smell in the room
>>5674120
is this a rite of passage or something? because i sure did it and fucked up all the grid markings on my cutting pad
>>5674200
>using your cutting mat for paint/cement/putty work
Thats when you use newspaper [spoiler]or your wife's old people magazines[/spoiler]
>>5674218
>old people magazines
"Old" People magazines or "Old People" magazines?
Anyone happen to have an HG Zeta A1 they're willing to sell? I'm too impatient to wait until I'm old and dying for SAL to come, especially for just one kit.
>>5674225
>not subscribing to old people monthly
>>5674240
That's because I get one big annual issue for Old People Magazine.
>>5674267
>getting the annual issue
You're missing out, bro.
The only thing stopping me from buying the Dahack is the fact that I can't stand the claw non-feet.
Is there any way I could find replacement feet or a way to replace it given the polycap used?
>>5674303
I'm sure you can replace it with a foot that has peg-connection ankle.
Try OO's feet, for instance.
>>5674306
Actually, scratch that. I just saw what goes around the ankle.
Hyakuri's feet with that polycap attached to it?
>>5674303
>>5674316
>You may as well just change out the lower legs entirely.
Age-2?
Never ever.
>>5674380
Same reason this guy doesn't.
>tfw your very first appearance is of you jobbing
>>5674395
interestingly, gyoubu didn't rule out the possibility of getting a kit
it's shoulder parts are on the astaroth at least
>>5674405
>it's shoulder parts are on the astaroth at least
And the Man rodi.
>>5674440
>Man rodi
Nope
>>5674405
>Astaroth
Yup
>>5674449
>We MUST make it symmetrical.
Every time.
>>5674476
Bandai did put pegs on both sides of the Rodi forearm for Astaroth.
>>5674481
>pegs
Excuse me, pegholes.
>>5674476
Did anyone ever do one for Quant?
>>5674490
Motherfucking Toriko, every time.
>Reminder that if it's asymmetrical, Toriko will find a way to make it symmetrical.
>>5674500
Normally don't like doing that to asymmetrical designs, but frankly Quant looks better that way.
>>5674500
Neat. That looks cool as hell IMO.
Have to do some customizing to the backpack, but looks sweet. I'd totally use something like that in Gundam Battle.
>>5672882
>mortar and pestle
are you building models or running an apothecary?
>>5674585
What, you dont' snort Gunpla dust to make your kits stronger?
>>5674596
You fool he's clearly doing shamanic rituals as he builds
