what do you use for panel lining them? do they need sealant?
>>5756316
I used Tamiya Panel Line Accent on Materia, but I see no reason why alternatives like mechanical pencil and those fine-tip Gundam markers wouldn't work. I'm not using any sealant on mine just because I'm never really convinced I'm "done" working on them, per se, but a layer of matte topcoat would probably do you just fine.
Really, all of this information is in the Gunpla General's guide.
Do Jinrai and Archiect have the same wrist joints as Materia? I've now ham handed both of my Materia's wrist joints, despite being extremely careful after breaking the first one. The peg just snaps off and comes off with the hand. If this shits gonna keep happening I'll have to look into replacements of some kind.
>>5756282
What is size and name of boxes?
>>5756400
Speaking of, I managed finally finished my Architect tonight, got everything set up, found her a coat I think she'd look good in (salvaged from an old marvel figure, might be too big in the shoulder for her) and was trying to pose her and bent her hair piece across the hinge instead of with it like a dumbass.
So until I can find a replacement hobby joint for it, she's going to have to rock a short 'do.
And I clearly need to doctor this coat a bit for her, it hangs way loose in the shoulder, but this is my first attempt at clothed photography.
Little bit of everything here...
>>5756282
Damn it. Now I need a pomock.
How big of difference is there between light armor and regular?
>>5757222
For one Pomock is a light armor Shinki, you mean between the Prototype and Light armor variant.
The main difference is that the Prototype comes with no armor. Just her tail, back adapter, some hands, and an axe. Also Proto-Pomock is an MMS 1 body. The Light Armor has actual armor and is an MMS 3 body however, it doesn't have the proto's axe.
>>5757246
Hmm maybe I should get both then mix and match
>>5757283
I mean, if you want the one weapon Normal Pomock doesn't come with then go ahead. Otherwise just stick with the light armor.
Also Proto Pomock doesn't get this face
>>5757292
Eh, I have a bonus check coming in July from my job because MURICA! apparently so I'm not gonna out anything really.
>>5757356
>tfw you have to work late July 4th and be up early for a morning shift the next day.

>>5757670
>TFW you have to work July 4th, but you have a morning shift, you get time and a half, and you have Tuesday off.
Now if only I had somewhere to go...
Looks like the new Type 10 Gourai comes with more pieces of armor than usual to recreate two separate color variants.
>>5758108
Said variants side by side.
>>5758113
Skintone is also slightly rosier than our usual gourai.
>>5757670
Makes you feel any better, I live in MURRICA and I still have to work a ten-hour graveyard shift, no breaks, on July 4. I feel ya.

![IMG_7081[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/4j6uMqr.jpg "IMG_7081[1].jpg")
AW yisssss, muscuto kits delivered this morning.
>>5758639
I've been seeing these on my Twitter a lot lately. Got any info on them to share?
>>5758247
Damn son that's mad skills right there.
>>5758108
The mismatched colors on the legs set my autism off. Gourai is still the cutest though.
>>5758791
I think i not so skilled to assemble this.
>>5758794
Come on, anon. It's bloody cubeecraft. Anybody ccan make this.
I am confused by the FA:GF though. too PC to say FAG? What's the extra F?
>>5758791
That thing is so fucking lazy. The legs aren't boxes so it would never be able to stand up, and the arms are just a flat piece you drape over the shoulders.
Nope. 0/10, would not build.
>>5758980
its an acronym so the F probably just stands for something they added to the paper cube version
>>5758997
It's not supposed to stand up and it isn't cubecraft either.
>>5758639
The boobs, hair, and face parts have no method to hold them together. Muscuto recommended blutack but I just outright magnetized it.
Also, there are some extremely tiny parts you should be careful of. Namely the little cover that goes behind the knees on the thighs and the little valve kind of thing on her chest area.
>>5759378
Neat. How much are they? I might need to order a couple. Do I have to order in Japanese?
>>5759554
Chuckling at that controller.
Hagen no zista bits?
>>5759560
Bingo! Good eye. I used them for the angle grinder a dozen comics back, too.
>>5759383
How much cleaning and stuff does the resin need on these?
>>5756282
What's the name of these kind of containers? Could really use a few.
>>5759818
Really useful boxes
I've been storing Legos and other toys in em for years. They're really useful.
Super durable. So shove a thinking in one. Throw it in your bag. And know it will be safe at your destination
>>5759633
Not anymore than normal plastic models, but they're more brittle so if you're unable to build a frame arms girl without breaking the wrist joints, probably not for you.
>>5759841
Thanks anon.
>>5759454
Would probably help but I know at least two people who ordered in english. The guy's korean so if you know korean that would work too.
>>5756282
Fuck you, OP. Your pic related is what my brother did to me as a child.
>>5758639
How do your purchase from him? Do I contact him on Twitter?
>>5759897
More concerned about having to dig up a full blown respirator and shit for fucking around with resin.
>>5760169
The tap plastic is good for tabletop size resin models. Not sure about shinki sizes though.
>>5759599
FYI, the Nagi figure comes with a generic X-Station console and a controller.
>>5760021
I honestly think this is the first time anyone's been triggered by a Shinki thread without Planelegs being involved.
>>5760425
I'm aware, though the last thing I need is excuses to get more shinkis. If I get Nagi just for a prop I'll use in 3-4 comics, I'll wind up getting a Schmetterling just for her mic stand, a Tsugaru just for her rifles, a Zielbellen Sapphire just for her unique shotel, a Fort Bragg just for her PDA, two of the skygirls just for their bear and laptop ... I already have 48 shinkis and if I need an excuse for anything, it'd be an excuse to -stop- getting more of them.
>>5760468
>I already have 48 shinkis
But you don't have them all yet
Dropped her dinner again.
>>5760169
Just don't snort the shit. A dust mask is sufficient for it, especially if you're wet sanding.
Finished the initial build for architect's main body. She's pretty neat. Thinner than the other kits and her "armor" is much simpler. Waist section is a totally new mold instead of just reusing stylet's, which surprised me. Only gripe would be that I can't take care of the seamlines in her forearm if I want to keep the partswap gimmick. Or I have to order a new set of elbows. I'm not sure why they insist on having the elbow permanently attached to the black strip on her upper arm.
FYI dagusia33 on ebay has 1/12 shinki clothes up for cheap
>>5760703
With thumbs like those can you blame her?
>>5760703
>>5760975
I think i get the reference.
>>5760876
Cant find him\her, could you lend a link?
>>5761011
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=dagusia33&_armrs=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xshinki.TRS0&_nkw=shinki&_sacat=0
How much of an improvement it is?
I have no problem with my Stylet but any improvement is always welcome.
>>5761245
What the fuck is a "zł" and why does it want me to place bids in them?
>>5761267
Polish I think.
>>5761284
Isn't Poland using Euro now? Sounds scammy desu
>>5761290
>check poland if is out of the EU because catholic countries are cool guys
>it's actually in the EU
>since 2004
Why Poland? Why?
>>5761256
>>5761259
The feet are nice in that they've got some heel articulation to keep her balanced regardless of stance, the shoulder armor is super simple and doesn't require seamwelding.
Doesn't use materia's hips so not quite as posable there, but she's compatible with materia, so you can improve that if you want.
>>5761661
Case in point
>>5761667
So I made a thing. It's probably terrible.
>>5761805
Noice!
>>5761805
shinki/FAG/etc interacting with other franchises is always a plus, anon. Nice!
>waiting on maochao and howling
>sal shipping because shitty paycheck
>shipping tracker shows arrival in new york
Figured it'd be Cali but okay
>tracker shows it went to jersey
>tracker shows it went to chicago
>tracker shows it went back to new york
Wat?
>>5762339
>>5762339
Most definitely they never left NY but someone over there fucked up and registered your stuff as shipped, they were left a pallet along with other non priority cargo.
>>5762522
Oh god damn it.
>>5762339
Probably got marked as loaded somewhere and wasn't, then someone found it back in new york.
Or it went for a ride in a big circle.
>>5762339
Well, at least your's is still in the US
One time, I had mine go from
Japan->US(CA)->China->US(CA)
Worked on Gourai all day! It took me 6 hours to put her together minus the bazooka.
Alright, so apparently the high heels that came with my Werkstra weren't standard, so I made a quick mold of them to recast. (Did they come from another shinki, or are they completely custom?) And Waffebunny's nude head is just about ready. Just need to wait for the last bit of apoxie to dry and then I can paint it to make sure it won't look like total shit.
>>5763319
You're using apoxie as a casting material? That's not ideal, but good luck.
>>5763319
Heels look like they're from Masaki Apsy's shinki clothing line.
>>5763348
Just for her barrettes to make them pop a bit more since she's pretty flat without the ear holders. It worked pretty well when I recasted a Materia face with the mouth filled in as one of my experiments, so I'm not too worried.
>>5763319
Will you be selling any heads? I'm going to order some water slide decals soon.
>>5763748
If it comes out well enough, I may sell the headset-less blank for the Waffesisters, and I just got Grapprap who would benefit from the same thing, but I don't think she's too popular. I've also got Werkstra faces that came out pretty well.The heels I'm still on the fence about straight up bootlegging, but it's not totally out of the question.
Aside from that, the mold making has been fairly hit or miss on if it damages the original part's paint job, so I'm nervous to experiment with some of the rarer/more expensive girls.
>>5763950
Shame you can't find chinese knock offs to use.
>>5764709
go away Chris
Materia looks a little derped with that faceplate.
>>5764716
It doesn't look too bad but it is a touch off.
>>5762992
Nice.
Is it just assembled or do you painted it, too? I'm new to this whole plamo stuff so I can't really tell if it's only a clear coating.
>>5758639
About how long does it take him to respond to emails on average? I just sent one, but I put in a google translation so I'm a bit nervous it'll get caught by spam.
Koto US just restocked Architect. Get her while you still can.
>>5765162
Just write to him in english. He understands some english and google translate just messes shit up.
>>5760764
Apparently I lied. She comes with a separate upper arm to go with the plug in part for normal frame arms parts, so no need to disassemble the actual arms.
>>5765242
Ugh, I haven't even assembled the one I got from ami
Re-ment's country life figure series.
>>5766679
The rake set's slippers just too right for shinki.
>>5765158
No paint or coat (yet). Here she is with her sisters! Stylet is painted(badly).
Just take your time building your FAGs, the Gunpla General guides are pretty handy.
There are also a few neat tricks for detailing your FAG using pigments.
>>5766681
So when does she get the zen garden kit?
This thing is the gold standard of resin kits as far as I'm concerned.
ZERO flashing or bubbles on the resin, all surfaces smooth as butter and everything fits together perfectly.
Oh and injected plastic joints and stand included too.
She also comes with nude chest and crotch pieces too, because reasons.
All I've done on this is trim the pour tabs and glue bits together.
I hope e2046 never get their hands on this, because they will fucking butcher it.
All I'm doing with this one is cleaning the nubs a little more and grey panel wash.
>>5766881
Ya mean that lotus pot?
That's the part of the set. as seen in photo.
>>5766895
>>5766918
Or if anything please upload pics to an external site and link em....
>>5766936
not yet, plan to put magnets in the chest though.
The face doesnt need magnets though. once the chin and the bottom/back of the head are glued into place, the changeable parts just slide in from the top.
>>5766941
What kind of magnets do you use for plastic kits? Are there guides on how to put magnets on kits?
I've seen tabletop minis having magnets or two in their build.
>>5766941
The head that comes with the deluxe pack you might want to magnetize since that one's got swappable faces. I've ordered a full set of faceparts from him which I'll see hopefully soon. I bought my copy of the sand icebreaker from him in person so I don't know how he handle mailorders. Does he notify you when he's shipped the package?
>>5766974
You use a pinvise to drill a hole and you glue the magnet in with superglue. It's not brain surgery. As for magnet type, use neodymium of suitable size. Google should be able to find you a source to buy them from. I usually default to 2.5mm diameter ones but you may want smaller depending on the project.
>>5766974
Drill a hole the same size as the magnet, then glue the magnet in the hole.
>>5767008
I'll bear that in mind when I make my sand icebreaker, thanks anon.
He took over a month to post my order out, but gave me the tracking reference as soon as it was sent.
Gonna design and laser cut a different base for her.
Anyone got two Strarves?
Is there any way to combine 2 armors into an angry weponized Mecha-Shiva?
>>5767016
Yeah, I expected he'd take that long. Seems he makes them to order per month and ships everyone's off at once.
And yeah, the base is... Not ideal.
>>5767019
Yes, several. Strarf Mk2 can do it in about half a dozen different ways and so can Strarf Bis using the bonus shoulder armors.
>>5767026
Ah, thats better.
>>5767487
DAMN
Those sexy legs
>>5767487
Wish those legs weren't so narrow at the shins, but otherwise nice looking kit.
>>5767499
He prefers email. His email address is on his twitter profile.
>>5766825
Thanks, though I have already assembled my Stylet, which is the only FAG I got so far. There are a couple of visible nubs here and there but I think I did alright.
I still need to paint her, getting rid of the skirt, getting her a couple of MSG kits, and figuring out a full outfit.
>>5766936
roughly how much were the kits?
>>5768578
Read the thread.
Just saw at Anime Expo that Koto has a con exclusive FAG. It's the base FAG, but a slightly bright green with the KOTO logo on it.
Didn't look bad, but they wanted almost 60 for it which felt very very overpriced.
I might go back and grab the Cu-Poche friends they had though.
What is usually plamo magazines' content?
Will there be any possible way to get the red Baselard after the release?
I was thinking again about how is it that the color scheme I wanted to have on Baselard was the one used by the limited version but I really have no use for the magazine and fuck that shipping price.
>>5768631
This one? https://www.kotous.com/retailstore/framearms-girl-gourai-craftmanship-form-pre-order.html
A Blizzard is good when is 46°C outside.
>>5768728
Ok?
I dont know why it uploaded the image in that direction.
>>5768730
It's a glitch with 4chan. If your phone posting just rotate image once then save. Then rotate it back to the right side up. Works for my crap iphone not sure about android.
Also yes blizzards are best in freezing temps.
Look who arrived today.
She popped up on mandarake and I just couldnt resist.
She doesnt use an mms body though, wierd.
>>5768803
... This is ... A Shinki type I've literally never seen before. I thought I'd seen all the Wonfest Garage Shinkis.
Build it! Build it! Show us!
>>5768941
Second, put it together yesterday.
>>5768793
Oh, I see.
The weird thing is I uploaded it from my computer.
But maybe is the glitch you mention, thanks.
Lets see if this doesnt appear side-ways
>>5769446
Gourai is still the cutest FAG.
Also its not a glitch, 4chan just strips the metadata from image files.
>>5769513
>4chan just strips the metadata
Wait. People are dumb enough to post images with gps info?
>>5769517
A lot of newfangled cellphones attach that to your pics by default. And it's not really something that most people think about.
I remember seeing a couple 4chan post collages about hunting autists down by the metadata from a picture they posted. I think it was of a /v/ autist taking a picture of a kid playing a PS3 in bestbuy and making fun of sony fans by calling them children or something.
>>5769513
Cutest but worst hip technology. They're really floppy.
>>5769540
And her shoulders are loose. I hope they do a retooling at some point.
>>5769540
>>5769543
I was just thinking today about how to sort of update gourai. Basically the answer I got is to either swap her base body with Architect and for the forearms either mod gourai's to accept the architect's hinge wrists or else use architect's arm adapters and swap on original FA Gourai's forearms for the slightly oversized look which I think could work well on gourai.
You would need to paint of course.
>>5769571
What's different about Architect's hips? Aren't they the same design?
>>5769801
The hip engineering is overall the same, but the fixed the molding and it doesn't pop off as easily. It also has Stylets skirt flaps instead of Gourai's fixed piece skirt.
So it fixed gourai's hip problem and has slightly improved range.
>sal tracking says package with howling and maochao is in DFW
>check mail anyways
Ta-Da
I am pretty happy now senpai
>>5769945
No pieces were missing, box is in decent shape, no leaking, but her joints are a bit stiff.
>>5769946
Again no pieces missing, box is in decent shape, and joints a bit stiff. Sadly Howling has a plasticizer leaking from the back of her hair piece.
>>5769951
And her left finger spread hand is loose enough to fall out. Much to her confusion.
So my Jinrai came with a little advertisement for cupoche gourai. When is that little bastard even going up for preorder?
>>5768711
YEs that one
>>5770008
got mine off mandarake for 8000 yen shipped
>>5770070
That's ex. I thought amiami had a rereleased of it. You should've tried nippon yasan too
>>5770117
Nah, it was never on amiami. This was released in commemoration of them opening a new type of store and was sold only via koto webstore or in the store itself. Amiami never had it.
Result of mixing parts between Blue Impulse and normal Stylet.
>>5770417
She really looks rather like the Arnvals.
>>5770445
Fumikane suffers from the sameface syndrome, you could dye a Strarf's hair blond and she would look like an Arnval. Doesnt help the fact that FAGS already look like Arnvals.
>>5770476
I think that's why they had other designers to add variety, so we also got the Blade moe shinki and the jewel fencers and others.
For reference, Blade shinki are Maochao, Howling, Partio, Pomock, all of them are bighead big eye shinki
>>5770521
...the jewel fencers were designed by him too though so that's not much of a supporting example anon, but I get what you're shooting for
>>5770580
das a lotta urnvuls.
and two werkstras I guess
https://twitter.com/Rscrap_Factory/status/749547743903780865
Look at this cute dancing Oorb.
>>5770901
No audio?
>>5771203
I think there may be audio on the NND upload but i can't be assed to make an account
>>5759554
>>5771534
Which one is BIS?
>>5771822
BIS is the Strarf being spoken to by Len. Angelene is the one in the chair.
>>5767019
Definitely possible.
Short of buying one of those Chinese recast bodies and painting it to match, what's the best body for Grapprap?
>>5772640
I'm partial to brightfeather, but original strarf and fubuki both work well. (Fubuki's silver spacers on the arms and wrists especially look like they match.)
>>5767980
did you write in english, japanese, or korean?
he hasn't been replying to me.
>>5772808
Try dming him too.
Just got my first Shinki the other day. Don't have any other pictures of her because I left her at home when I went on a flight. Needless to say she looks a lot cuter in person than when I saw pictures of her!
>>5774870
Forgive my trip autism, I was using it on /qst/
>>5774877
What quest bro
and IS IT A Shinkiquest??
And now without jokes. Congratulation on your first one (My was Howling). You have now sold you soul to the Shinki line and you will never be free. Please enjoy you stay and enjoy the ride of Cute Shinkies, Cute Shinkies Clothes and ocassional Planelegs
>>5774891
There used to be a shinkiquest on sup/tg/ years and years ago. I should have participated, and I wish I knew which anon ran it.
>>5774891
Wait, starting a shinkiquest wouldn't be too hard.
I've never been on /qst/ is it tabletop games, or is it choose your own adventure stuff? I have a ton of homebrewed old world of darkness systems since they're so easy to fuck around with to make a new game.

Just checked how many frame arms girls I have...
My Moebine body broke some time back so I purchased a used broken drossel to transplant her head into. Whilst thinking of a colour scheme I put a shirt on her and quite liked the outcome.
>>5775197
You really like your Arch-chan.

All of them by the look of it

I don't see Tanned Materia.
Speaking of which, I really need to get Gourai and Stylet's color variations before they become impossible to find.
>>5775135
It's more choose your own adventure stuff. I think tabletops belong on /tg/.
Are there specific shinkis that are more prone to plasticizer leaks?
>>5775778
yes
>>5775778
All of the really early ones are prone to it. The first releases of Strarf and Arnval, Maochao, Howling, the Waffe sisters, Jusivy and, especially, Zyrdarya are ones known to do it.
My Xiphos and Tigris feel like they might do it, but haven't yet. I don't own Benio or Vitulus to check them.
>>5775789
Can confirm the soft parts of Xiphos's armor are prone to plasticizer leakage.
>>5775899
Not really. It was mentioned, but no one exchanged any contact info.
>>5776038
Oh yeah. Shame. If I wasn't working, and in 3 other RPGs, I'd do it
>>5775789
My Howling I got recently leaks. It sucks. Should I just find another one or just deal with it?
>>5776185
Nah. Just give her a soapy bath every few weeks.
At this point probably 70% or so of them on the market leak anyways.
>>5775789
I bought an MMS1 Naked black body unopened from Mandarake which was leaking plasticizer, but it seems to be OK after I washed it once.
>>5776206
>At this point probably 70% or so of them on the market leak anyways.
Well that's depressing.
>>5776206
>probably 70% or so of them on the market leak anyways.
disgusting. We really need new shinkis now.
>>5775789
Is there a list I can refer to or a general idea of which shinkis leak the least?
Y'all are paranoid. I've owned dozens of these over the past 8 years, most of them from the early waves, and out of all of them only one Strarf hair piece and some Wafebunny gear has had any noticeable leakage - and washing them once fixed the problem. I've had worse luck with older Revoltechs and a bunch of gashapon toys.
>all this talk of leaks
As someone who has absolutely no knowledge of shinkis, I have to ask. What the hell is leaking out of them and why?
>>5776690
Certain older MMS1 shinki have parts made of a kind of plastic that uses a compound to maintain softness. It will leak eventually.
>>5776206
Hmm okay. Does the repainted version leak too?
>>5776632
Check the guide in the OP. It lists Shinkis in chronological order. Anything after wave 7 almost certainly won't leak. And I've never seen reports of a Eukrante or Ianeira leaking, either, but Tigris was after them and sometimes feels sticky, so I dunno.
>>5776895
maybe yours just loves the masutah cummies
>>5776690
Plasticizer. It's not specific to shinkis, it can happen to almost any toy. All depends on the plastic's content. It might never happen to you. Just slightly more common here because they're older toys than say new figmas
>>5776957
Actually it's not just that they're old. I've had my Zyr for 4 years and she always had this issue, and a bunch of shinkis I got later, which are as old now as she was then, have no problem with it.
In the late aughts, japanese companies were trying to save money because of oil prices and changed the plastic formula they were using. Figmas, revoltechs and shinkis from this age all suffered. When the plasticizer leeching issue became really common, and consumers complained, the companies switched away from it. Which is why later shinkis almost never leak.
This same plastic is also the kind that stains easily, which is why you see lots of reports of older figmas being stained by their own accessory's paint.
>>5777015
Also, just as a note, I have several amdrivers that are much older than shinkis, and they all use soft plastic and none of them leech. Age can be a factor but it really has more to do with plastic content.
>>5776683
Tell me about it, the amount of plasticizer that leaks from my shinkis is trivial compared to the horror story that is my original release revoltech Gurren Lagann getting a real bad case of the stickies. Had to give him 3 cycles in a soap bath before the stickiness started going away.
I told you guys, if you want protection from plasticizer leakage, you have to sacrifice a Benio in a Satanic ritual.
>>5777556
I'd rather throw the gladius sisters or Raptias and Artille into a bonfire.
Possibly stupid question. Would a thin layer of resin stop leakage?
>>5777730
That would probably make thinks worse. This isn't like a bottle with a hole in it, the plastic itself is degrading. You'd likely wind up with splotches of disintegrated resin flakes floating on sticky funk that otherwise would have washed off easily.
>>5777730
No, but recasting the offending parts in resin and replacing will.
>>5775899
I mentioned it as an idea, but was and still am too busy to actually do much with it. I do think it might be a fun and useful activity to brainstorm up different charts and stuff to use for it if anyone in the future might want to do something.
Sure it might be a bette place over at tg, but the general audience is wrong.
>>5778561
There's the remnants of someone else's busou shinki RPG out there on the interwebs on a wiki. Might be good to look that up and see what they did. There's also Battle Rondo wikis that have the names of all the shinkis parts and some stats and trivia. (RIP Battle Rondo. I really wish we could still access all the files for that for stat tracking.)
>>5777607
>harming arraps
>instead of actually lousy shinkis
if you're going to be a shit master at least direct your shittiness properly, faggot.
>>5778592
And on that note, browsing the battle rondo wiki, I made a mistake about Eukrante a while back. She -can't- call you 'Husband' - it's Arnval that does that. Eukrante's custom titles are Nii-san, Nee-san, Senpai and Chairman.
Hope the Anon that was interested in that sees this.
>>5778609
>nii-san
Fuck. Right in the dick.
>>5778709
I did s'more digging and it's kind of sad. The Japanese battle rondo wiki has incomplete information, so we'll likely never know what the unlockable titles for Graffias or Vespellio were. I didn't check everyone either, so there's likely still more missing info.
But the battle rondo wiki does have some transcripts for some of the girls' in-game dialog, which reveals a bit about their personalities. Graffias, for instance, seems to be a battle-hungry wild warlord type. She has lines like "I hate the word 'hope' - I only care about ambition!" and several references to war and the battlefield.
>>5778852
sounds like my assessment of her grin as a "...mongrels." sort of grin was fairly on-target.
>>5778933
She'd make a pretty good Gerudo
>>5778852
Fuck, now I can't help but imagine her as 6-inch tall delicious brown female Eliphas the Inheritor. Now I want her even more (with my Lavina as the Araghast to her Eliphas...and presumably Strarf Bis as Carron. KARDBAWD BAWKSES).
>>5778968
Based on my limited understanding from google translate, she seemed pretty no-nonsense and business like. I had to check twice to make sure they hadn't mistranscribed Murmeltier's dialog into Graffias' page.
>>5778979
Well Eliphas is pretty srs bsns as far as Chaos Lords go (not an idiot like Bale, not homicidally angry like Crull and not a total screeching mong like Carron) and both his VAs gave him a sexy, silky voice/no nonsense demeanour. Also he gets shit done.
Sorry, I'm lapsing into fa/tg/uy mode. I dunno, I just love the idea of an evil warlord Shinki. But then I have lots of stupid ideas for Shinki personalities that completely contradict their canon behaviour, notably:
>Lavina being bipolar, being a sweet and gentle Shinki without her armour and switching into full on bloodthirsty overlord mode with her armour on.
>Murmeltier is a Drill-Sergeant-Nasty type who has resorted to whiskey-flavoured jelly cans to repress the memories of her torment at the hands of a previous abusive master
>Tsugaru, AKA "Shinki Claus" is both a symbol of joy and a figure of dread- at Christmas time she delivers parts and jelly cans to all the good little Shinkis. The rest of the year she flies around "harvesting" the gifts she gives by hunting down and disassembling wounded Shinkis and making their parts into gifts.
>>5778596
> lousy shinkis
That's why i mentioned the four shinkis with downs syndrome.
>>5778852
>so we'll likely never know what the unlockable titles for Graffias
But you can watch the dialogue vids on nico video, from what i remembe one of them is "boy".
>>5779086
Those are the default ones. After 50-100 wins, you could unlock bonus ones. Those aren't in the nico video dialog vids, I don't think.
>>5778996
Fun thing is default Tsugaru doesnt know what Santa is or how looks and gets quite a shock from learing what's her type suposed to be, source is the Battle Masters DLC.
>>5778996
>Lavina being bipolar, being a sweet and gentle Shinki without her armour and switching into full on bloodthirsty overlord mode with her armour on.
So she's Maryceles?
>>5779264
Huh, I forgot about that. Derp. Doesn't help that my headcanon for Maryceles is just that she's a grump who acts as a sort of "mission control" for the "evil" Shinkis, albeit one with a bad attitude and a filthy mouth.
The "evil" side of my Lavina (in my collection) is less "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD" frothing berserker rage and more "NO, FEEBLE HUMAN MEAT-MAGGOT, I AM THE MASTER" Galvatron-esque insanity/megalomania. But then I have very little familiarity with the "canon" personalities of the Shinkis outside of the anime (which IIRC takes liberties with the "true" source material) and prefer to just characterize them as I see fit.
Besides, not EVERY Shinki of a model will have the same personality...r-right?
>>5779276
Not really. using Maryceles again, she's bipolar as fuck but her Lemuria variant is spoiled child. However, I think the Arnvals and Strarfs are close in personality.
>>5779276
Anime supports that. Consider the slightly autistic Hina compared to the evil one in the last arc, and the various soldiery Arnvals doing anti-terrorist training on the plane compared to Ann.
>>5779307
Should've been Werkstras on the plane IMO.
>>5775542

>arrap
>downs
you use this word, but I do not think it means what you are thinking it means.
>>5779786
>arrap
Sit down and zip those lips, please.
tfw we will never have a toy of this cyclist version of Yda.
She finally came!
>>5782015
Will build mine later. IIRC Jinrai is based on a customized Gourai-type frame arms mech.
>>5782015
Anyone else order the exclusive with the blank leg parts? I got an e-mail from Koto saying they'd been delayed until later this month. I'm guessing they couldn't fully fill demand.
>>5781828
ach's hairstyle,eyecolor, "shinguards", and wheel distribution, yda's haircolor, outfit color, and lack of rack...
choco seems to have fun "repossessing" his designs like this.
>>5782015
And here she is.
>>5782489
Very nice.
>>5782561
>very nice
>those nubs
>those seams
no
>>5782035
>I got an e-mail from Koto saying they'd been delayed until later this month
Kotous? You'll never get them. They'll cancel your order in a few weeks.
>>5782489
NUBS.
I don't like how pink she is.
>>5782583
No, Koto JP though a forwarder. I know how Koto US roll.
>>5782561
Thank you
>>5782572
>>5782598
Sorry for the nubs and the seams.
Right now I dont have the materials to give her (and my others Frame Arms) the finishing touch they need.
I hope I can sand them and seal de seams this year if everything goes right (and if I can practice with some gundam or SD models first).
>>5782778
>Right now I dont have the materials
Then you shouldn't have started yet. Nail files are under a dollar.
>>5783340
>makes me want to avoid filing down nubs just to spite you
all that does is make you a pleb
