For those new to gunpla/plamo or even just new to this thread; please read the guide. Please read it before asking questions as there is a chance it has already been answered there.
For those unfamiliar, "plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model". If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.
If you're new, you're gonna fuck up. Don't worry! If you're experienced, don't make the new people worry!
>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Try being specific, especially about your materials and process. Post pictures whenever possible; even if the kit/part looks bad, you are more likely to get help posting pictures.

Old Thread: >>13627932
We've got a new group build and the theme is "Factory Roll-out!"
The enemies found out the location of the secret mobile suit factory and are at the gates!
The foreman's authorized the use of any mobile suit that's operable to defend the facility.
Most of them are still in there stock colors so no need to watch the paint job.
Build and paint up anything mecha that looks like it just rolled off the factory floor.
End date TBA
Email TBA
>>13633762
>the theme is basically anything!
Doesn't factory rollout basically mean various greys due to it supposed to not being painted yet?
>>13633785
How else is he gonna convince people to actually participate?
>>13633742
If it was literally anything then it wouldn't have a theme now would it, I wanted to keep it simple this time around so almost everyone can participate and not restrict it to people that can kitbash/scratchbuild.
>>13633793
pretty much like pic related
>>13633822

>>13633762
Is the enemy at the gate /toy/s group build? They're voting on a colorscheme too.
>>13633830
I paint so fuck off
>I wanted to keep it simple this time around so almost everyone can participate
how does this theme accomplish that goal more compared to any other
>>13633836
seriously
>>13633844
Aren't we a little pissy today?
It literally doesn't matter what people do, it's just a unifying idea that people can incorporate into their future builds if they want. It's what you guys voted for and if you're not happy with it then don't participate. If everyone wanted their own ideas then there's no point in a group build and it's just like normal around here.
In the end people will build with as much effort or as little effort as they want. There was an old /toy/ group build with the Titans theme and some fuck just submitted a stock RG Mk II. It's all for fun anyway

Do I need zippo water liquid fluid to wipe off these Gundam Markers?
>>13633874
>zippo water

>>13633843
>enemy at the gates are a bunch of random mobile suits with a white, pink and gold paint job
Well that's not very intimidating
>>13633882
Lighter fluid, m80000.
>>13633874
IPA would do and it's probably cheaper and probably more readily available at your local convenience mart

>Suntan_gone_wrong.jpg
Early Christmas present to myself, my $4 nippers I bought last year are like safety scissors now but these new ones seem pretty good for $10.
Is it a common thing to "rebuild" kits you've previously completed? Like, I don't do any painting now because I don't have the money for an airbrush and I'm scared of ruining a kit I like with shitty paint, but what if I got an airbrush in a year from now and painted the Hizack? Would it still be like I had painted it directly out of the box if I washed it off and took it apart for painting?
>>13633874
Are those the ones you push in and paint come out?
>>13633926
Not sure if it's normal but I'm in the process of redoing/repainting a kshatriya that I snapped together 2 years ago
>>13633926
I generally like to leave old kits be so I can see the progress I have made. I do sometimes do use them if I just want to test a little thing. You can do it though just make sure they aren't dusty and remove stickers if you used any
Though my way does mean I do have multiple of some, but no man can have enough Grimoires
>>13633926
what nippers are those? never seen them before
Oh man. I've never really liked the bulk and clumsiness of the Avalanche, but this makes it look so nice...
>>13634023
Keroro ones. It says it right there
http://www.amazon.com/God-Hand-GH-KRN-125-Keroro-nippers/dp/B00T8SB8HE
Reporting from /toy/. Mind helping me figure something out guys? I have my airbrush on standby to test spray.
I was testing with water only but even when merely holding the trigger down it spray slight amounts of water, not just air like it should. Would any of you know why? I watched some vids on assembly and am sure I followed them correctly.
>Bandai has decal campaign
>Hands out decal sheet specifically for HG Dynames
>Doesn't bother to reprint HG Dynames
wtf Bandai?
>>13634023MY ARMMY ARMMY ARMI SUMMON UP THE POWER OF THE GOD HAND
>>13634054
sounds like it's leaking
>>13634075
Ok, what's needed to stop that? It has happened every time I spray anything.
Did it with paint, same things, cleaned up.
Tried water with some food dye, same result.
It's got to be my fault somehow, the airbrush was bought brand new. Since even assuming I thinned wrong (new to this so it's easily possible) it would still need to have the lever pulled back to spray paint and stuff.
>>13634054
Stupid questions, but is your brush single or double action, did you insert the needle and make sure its fixed tightly, and are you using a cheapo chinese brush?
>>13634089
>is your brush single or double action
what's that?
>>13634064
stick them on a zaku sniper or arcane and pretend
>>13634096
rip any desire to help you
What model do you have?
>>13634096
Single action works like a spraycan. You push down and it sprays. Double action is the one where you pull back after pushing down to control how much paint is released at once.
What model of btush do you have?
>>13634089
It's a Badger Patriot 105, gravity fed and double action. I think the insides are good to go, but I do believe I'm not great at the trigger assembly.
>>13634096
Goddamn trolls, this isn't me.
>>13634105
As stated above, Badger 105. That guy isn't me.
>>13634116
I have the same model, make sure the needle is pushed forward as far as possible without forcing it. Also check to see that the nozzle (cone bit) isn't damaged at the tip (not flared or cracked).
>>13634122
Come bit being the part inside the nozzle cap, right? Not the cover, but the actual little part that the needle slides into and then you place the cap over that? That part is unharmed, the cap for it also seems to be ok.
>>13634131
Did you do what everyone suggested about the needle?
>>13634145
About to, reassembling and will come back in a sec after spraying water again.
>>13634116
hey faggot when did I say I was you
>>13634145
>>13634151
Assembled, made sure to push the needle in until I got to the stopping point where it feels like you shouldn't push more. Also checked the nozzle, no paint or anything in it. Needle was clean without paint or other contaminants on it. Same problem.
This is the video I am watching for assembly, if that helps.
http://youtu.be/2-pONftmGfI
See this is infuriating
A two piece split interior "skull" thing where you need to paint the black and monoeye, and then the outside of the helmet, which also has bars from top to bottom, preventing masking as easily, is also split down the middle
So the best way to do it is paint the entire inner part black/pink for the eye, tape it up, then build the rest of the head around it, weld it, fully paint it while doing the kit and then remove the tape on the inner part
what a pain in the ass
>>13634232
also the outer part does NOT fit over the skull part if done separately, and it attaches by pegs on the side
>>13634187
Can you provide pics of it disassembled/assembled or video of the problem?
>>13634313
Just the assembled/dissasembled, can't use the garage for spraying anymore because of family things. Will get that in a sec.
What are good materials to create a makeshift action base, at least maybe a pole to stick my model to a base.
>>13634343
pole dancing
>>13634343
that's not really a thing, because action bases cost like 5 bucks
you're going to just have to make it up
>>13634350
hell it's cheaper than that it you throw them in with your import orders
atleast I don't really see a price hike in shipping when I add them to an order that's pushing SAL to the limit
>>13633709
>Wow, you're actually stupid enough to put the shields on the wrong way. There's a particle cannon on the pointy side of it, I would love to see Someone try to use the armed armor in series only to fire it backwards while holding it like that.
Bro. There's two poly-cap holes for the shields I can put them however I want.
>>13634313
>>13634325
Here's a set of assembled pictures. Let me know if there's other angles you need. I'll get it opened up and take pics now.

>>13634370
Here's the airbrush split up into parts. Sorry for shit tier image quality and cropping job.
>>13634405
cap looks fucked up. did you buy it used?
>>13634409
How does it look bad? The picture quality isn't good but there's no stains inside from what I see. No color indicating splotches of paint. I got it brand new off Amazon.
>>13634405
Could you assemble it but leave off the cap?
>>13634422
picture quality is poor, so maybe it's nothing. then again you should double check that cap to make sure
>>13634435
Will do.
>>13634438
I'll retake and aim for higher quality. Please wait a moment.
>>13634444
I just got here but I don't think the cap could even be the problem, if anything it's the way the needle is seating in the nozzle, because when you let the air go with your figer down something is allowing the water to escape from the needle/nozzle point
Can you try for a closeup of the nozzle and the needle end together? Basically hold the needle straight up and rest the nozzle on top of it, don't push down at all just gravity
>>13633926
>Shiki and Hi-Zack
good taste senpai
>>13634435
>>13634438
>>13634458
Again, sorry for the quality and cropping. But I think I did manage to focus a little better. Tried several ways to get the nozzle and needle picture, couldn't do it.
Oh foo. Looks like we went and hurt shitposter's feelings again.
>>13634384
That's not ganguro brown, that's "I left the oven on" brown.
>>13634538
where is the rubber o ring that goes between the cap and the body
>>13634538
I'm still not quite sure what's wrong judging from the pictures and I'm pretty sure the only way we'll figure it out is if you post a webm or something of the problem. Only things I can think of is that either the nozzle and needle aren't creating a seal at the tip or that the nozzle isn't seated into the main body properly.
Correct me if I'm wrong but these are the only problems that you can actually fix and otherwise you're better off returning it and getting another.
>>13634570
Only shitty chinese airbrushes use o-rings near any parts that come in contact with paint.
>>13634570
only shit airbrushes use gaskets, newer ones have tighter part tolerances to skip the use of o-rings
>>13634580
>>13634581
the cap doesn't come into contact with paint my new friends
>>13634583
Then it missing a gasket wouldn't cause paint to escape fagfriend :^)
>>13634590
it would if it is causing the nozzle to not be seated properly
>>13634580
>>13634581
Paasche H
I see shitposter is working hard for those (You)s
>>13634560
There is such a thing as too much
>>13634570
The Patriot doesn't have one to my knowledge. No videos I've seen have mentioned one, nor did the diagram in >>13634145.
>>13634575
Well, I don't know how to make webm files, and beyond that I would need to simultaneously airbrush and record while keeping quality in fairly poor lighting in my garage. Any opinions? I know it has a warranty but am honestly confused why it would do this when being new. If it's my fault then likely reassembling the airbrush several times like I did would have fixed it.
>>13634604
yeah I looked later, it looks like there was black markings around the inside of the cap where the ring would go and my iwata has one there
>>13634596
were we talking about antiques? I must have missed that post
>>13634615
No problem, thank you for trying. I certainly would have been aware of losing a part.
>>13634615
What the fuck are you talking about, I was spraying with my patriot yesterday and it never had the problems the other anon was talking about. I just took it apart and there's no o-ring there and there never was one.
>>13634629
relax retard
>>13634639
relax shitposter
>>13634642
thanks for the (You)! :^)
>>13634645
No, thank YOU for the YOU
>>13634629
Fellow Patriot anon, person with the problems here. What's your thoughts on this situation? Someone with more experience with the brush should have an idea.
I moved the needle up to the point where it feels like you should stop. I wouldn't want to break it by pushing it past there. The needle/nozzle seem to be an issue according to anons in here, but I can't exactly know at this point.
I've only had it like 2 months, the warranty for returns is valid if I need it.
>>13634653
You don't happen to be the same anon who broke an Iwata your first day by tightening the nozzle too tight
>>13634698
Never had an Iwata, not me. I'm new but very careful when it comes to this, it costs a lot so I try to be thorough.
>>13634547

>>13634653
Dammit anon I was one of the guys helping you this whole time; I've only had it for about 5 months though but I've never run into the issue of it leaking paint. I can confirm that there is no gasket/o-ring anywhere at the tip (only one is towards the rear where the handle screws onto the body).
Have you used it before with any problems or did you just notice this?
I'm taking a break from priming so ignore all the crap on the airbrush but this is about how far the needle should come out of the nozzle.
>>13634617
Paache H is still great for base coating, priming, and top coating large surfaces. Fuck off.
>>13634755
Definitely is

>>13634712
Honestly, it's not hard if you have the right tools and materials.
>>13634769
you can say that about basically anything
>>13634734
Well I attempted spraying thinned paint before, only once. The paint went into the back of the airbrush. Had to clean it a ton, not a fun experience.
I just called the Badger support line. I got to talk to Ken Badger, the head of the company! Got his mail too, he says likely if paint went into the back it's not my fault and the airbrush was broken to begin with. Guess I'll mail it back to them.
>>13634774
yeah that does not sound right at all
>>13634774
>Airbrush has problems
>Call manufacturers
>"Yup it has problems, mail it back!" -mr badger
>"It has problems you faggot" -4chan
>Keep airbrush
2 months pass
>Airbrush has more problems
"I know I'll ask 4chan again!" -anon
In all seriousness you should have mailed it back a long fucking time ago.
>>13634795
No, I had called the company right now for the first time.
>>13634807
Wait, I remember you now
You were that guy who kept posting pictures of his disassembled airbrush with a bunch of blue paint splattered all over a paper towel.
Yeah you should have sent that thing back m8
>>13634816
Yes, that was me. In my defense, I couldn't have known if it was my fault in terms of thinning/airbrush assembly or the airbrush itself if I had no experience. You were all in the right to bitch at me, but even with the help it seems my effort was doomed from the start without me even knowing. I appreciate everyone helping, will update whenever this mess is fixed and I manage to paint so much as a spoon.
Sorry friend anons.
>>13634837
holy shit wasn't that months ago?
Look at this shit colorscheme I found from a "gumpla is freedum" faggot. >>13631608
GMs do not come in that color fucker
>>13634848

>>13634368
>gunpla is freedom! as in I have the freedom to waste my mom's money on a ton of kits, lazily put them together so they look like absolute shit and then spam pictures of them!!!
I swear to god "gunpla is freedom"used to mean something in the sense that there are unlimited possibilities of what you can build and now it's just an excuse for shit builders to defend their garbage.
>>13634918
"Gunpla is freedom" originated in try, didn't it? If that's the case then the phrase was shit from the moment it was uttered. Shit builders cling to a shit series.
Anyone have the old HG Zeta? I'm having a hard time getting the the middle piece of the backpack to stay up properly. It was able too before, but it was sort of loose, and the connector to the back itself also comes off reeeeeeally easily. Is there any solution to this that doesn't involve plastic cement so it stays in place? I won't be bothering to transform it, or anything.
>>13634965
apply dab of future to the connector
let it dry for a day or more before you fiddle with it
I finally fixed the fins that broke on this fucker in the move, it's been infuriating but I'm really happy it's back together. If the rest of the work on the head fin molding goes well I will finish this when I get the booth set up.
>>13634971
Alright, thanks.
This project has turned out eh overall. I went with a glossy black and a gloss topcoat, it looks sort of eh. I've been using spraycans and my masking ability is also sort of weak. I sort of feel bad because this is a gift. If I were to spray a mattecoat on would that override the gloss coat, or is it just stuck like that now without me having to repaint everything?
>>13633762
can we wait till Christmas to start it?
>>13635032
Still haven't decided a deadline but it'll probably be at the end of Feb or early March
>>13635042
ah ok cool
real grade red comet rick dias when?
Or hyaku shiki.
>>13633762
so do you mean kind of like this?
>>13633762
>>13635068
or like this
>>13635071
>>13635068
Thats more test/prototype colors. Factory roll out basically means it hasn't been really painted up or personalized yet. It's fresh off thr factory assembly line. Bandai occasionally does exclusive or special releases like that.
>>13635089
well that's kind of lame.
that's like a writing prompt but all it tells you to do is ctr+v and change a few words.
sure its easy and any one can do it.
but the people who actually were interested in writing are just disappointed at a mundane task they have no interest in
any one can snap together a few pieces of plastic.
where is the fun? the challenge
did we actually vote on this? or did some random anon decide what we are going to do
>>13635114
If I recall, it was either this or winterized paint schemes.
I have no idea what a winterized paint scheme would be, but it sounds more involved than
>snap build
>seam weld
>prime
>done
>>13635114
We spent like 3 threads voting. Rollout colors won. And the challenge is to make it look good. If it sounds too easy try out a new product or technique during it, something you don't normally do to use it as a learning experience.
>>13633836
>>13635114
exactly
what a shitty group build
>>13635127
why was it even an option
why couldn't it be something interesting and fun like
lava scheme
or tron themed
anything other than
>"hur why dont you use a 5 brush instead of a 4"
why was "boring do nothing" even an option to begin with.
>>13635126

So how many of the people here complaining actually know anything about Rollout Colors? You're not restricted to gray, that's just something Bandai did for the Exia because they felt like it.
The build could have been named "paint your kit up with a more subdued color scheme", because that's the whole point. There are all sorts of designs that could benefit from not being 3+ colors (hey there literally everything in SRW), so spend less time bitching and more time thinking.
Regardless, you're missing the opportunity in it. Most 'factory roll out' colors are monotone, yes, but not just 'everything is white'. It's more like Phase Shift Down colors - there's different tones placed where they are for a reason.
Think of it like this - you're on a cooking show, the challenge is to make macaroni and cheese. It's a plain ass dish anyone -can- do, but to make it shine or stand out at a gourmet level, you have to show off in more fundamental ways.
>>13635216
>Theme is literally make the kit more boring.
How did you guys manage to fuck this up.
These were f91's rollout colours
>>13635220
ah i understand
>>13635222
Or maybe you just can't into subtlety and finesse.
>>13635230
Subtle =/= Lessening a finished product to its more shitty state
>>13635222
Hi, here's your favorite design.
>>13635220
>>13635216
why does it still have the decals?
isn't it spost it be unfinished?
are the decals and fine details what you put on last
>>13635243
>>13635243
nice ad hominem bro
>>13635248
The basic idea is that it's fresh off the assembly lines, but it's called Rollout /Colors/ instead of Ver. Just Rolled Out or whatever for a reason. It's ultimately just an alternate color scheme.
If you want to do it without decals to stay more true to the concept, more power to you! If you don't, then that's also fine!
My thoughts on the group build fiasco is that I already like kits with subdued colors, but I dont want to make one that way with some story that it's unfinished. I also just don't feel there's enough creative range with the theme to justify a lot of time investment for it, like there's no room for extra equipment designs. I'm fine that it's the theme and clearly people voted for it, certainly not anon who's running it's fault, just why I don't think I will do a kit for it personally.
Here's the Graze squad thus far. Commander, Heavy, and Sniper.
Am I spamming this too much? I kind of feel like I am.
>>13635280
> there's enough creative range with the theme to justify a lot of time investment for it
agreed
>>13635283
it's fine, any actual gunpla stuff is good for the thread, people could stand to post more wips while shitposting
>>13635280
My take on the concept was that it could either be a grunt suit in your bog-standard production facility or some sort of new prototype that's untested that's been found before it could be completed. Honestly it just depends on how much thought you put into it
One way imo to make the group build better is instead of just straight off the assembly line, nearly straight off the assembly line. By that i mean like its missing some parts of a limb or two or something similar. Really at this point its the only sort of thing to make it not incredibly boring.
>>13635299

>>13635315
You guys are kidding me right?
>>13635331
It's sure as fuck more interesting that way.
>>13635331
whats wrong?
>>13635291
Oh, okay. I just don't want to turn into another spammer.
Anyway, I need to work on a new handle for the shield. The Graze can't really hold it at all. The other issue I have is the Clanche waist unit eliminates pretty much all forward and backwards leg movement on the Heavybecause the thigh armor goes up too high. Should i try shaving it down or leave it as is?
>Okay so the purpose of this build is to make it look like it came off the assembly line in a rush.
>That's boring.
>Hey what if... we made it look like it came off the assembly line in a rush!!!
>GENIUS
>>13635283
My only issue is that the Graze Kai isn't a Gjallarhorn unit
Does anybody have the lighting zeta and the old HG zeta? Would I be able to ask a favor of whichever anon that has both of these? I just want to see if the legs on the lightning fit the original.
>>13635348
>change the idea in a small way to make it better
>"THOSE IDEAS ARE PRACTICALLY THE SAME HUURRRR"
good job anon!
you get a gold star
>>13635356
I know, but I thought the squared head would be a better fit for a sniper unit.
>>13635299
At least this anon has the right idea about how to approach this type of thing. It still falls under the general theme and he put his own twist on the idea.
Why can't you other faggots actually think about a design before you start bitching about it
>>13635367
I considered the same thing and still don't like it, so you can get mad about that I guess
>>13635406
This might be a stupid question but I'm new, where would you get all the little guys like in that picture? Are they just sometimes paired with kits, or did they mold them themselves out of green stuff or something?
>>13635412
you're responding to a shitposter so you're definitely new.
>>13635412
They sell those in little accessory packs. Look for MS Figure if you want Bandai's.
instead of shitposting, try singing the chorus from "In too deep" by Sum 41 with "Corin Nander" instead of "going under"
it's like 2 times more fun
>>13635283
How did you get my photos? I didn't even show them to Reddit yet
>>13635479
Oh, I guess this is a thing we're doing now? Fun.
>>13635479
heh, nice try kidou senshi
>>13635463
Thanks.
>>13635486
Please stop this anon.
>>13635360
I suppose, but definitely add some styrene so it looks a bit different prior to painting
>>13635499
I'm going to add an antenna to the side of its head. Does that count?
>>13635131
aww fuck.
>>13633891
THE FEMINAZIS ARE ATTACKING

It's spoilers don't look
>>13635546
shut the fuck up faggot
So, anybody know where I could get 1/100 scale infantry? I wanted to buy another Koto Rex and make a diorama with it. I already looked for the builders parts, and they have nothing like I need.
>mg hi nu ver ka on sale in hlj
fuck
>>13635641
You're a little late there bud
>>13635641
how is this information know thothey didn't want him in the movie to begin with, we knew from the start.
Since the thread seems to be about everything but gunpla right now, I figure it would be a good time to get some input on something not strictly gunpla, but certainly gundam relevant.
Has anyone picked up one of these yet and if so, what were your impressions? Just snagged one from Amazon and not sure what I'm in for, can't find much in the way of reviews out there.
>>13635664
I have one, it's good but very delicate, make sure you widen the holes on the tabs before you put it together, like many wave kits there is some touching up to be done on some parts
>Sinanju Stein on sale at Amazon for $63 with Prime
>only 7 left
>won't have money until Friday
FUCK
>>13635664
oh neat, there's an Oneil Cylinder kit?
>>13635640
grabbed it
funny thing is that I haven't even touched yet the Nu ver Ka I bought a year go
>>13635703
Disregard that, I suck cocks.
>>13635671
Is there any detail on the non-transparent parts of the inner cylinder? Land, water, cities, ect. Or is it bare, fill in the blank yourself sort of thing?
>>13635710
it comes with some nice foil stickers with ground for those portions
>>13635702
Search for "Wave non-scale space settlement"
They have been out for nearly a year now but kind of flew in under the radar
>>13635718
Thanks! Are there also foils for the reflector panels?
>>13635722
yep on the same sheet
seriously though, because the cylinder is constructed with the 6 panels holding everything together, you gotta test each square tab (2 per end of each panel) that goes on the square pegs on the caps, they are very snug and you could easily crush the thing if you don't spend time testing each one first.
>>13635618
I wish I cared about the Hi-Nu.
>>13635728
Thanks for the advice, I will take care not to destroy it. I guess the damn things are fragile in any scale and setting.
>>13635743
only other MGs on sale are the blue frame second and the red warrior
>>13635756
Why couldn't it be the Stein?
>>13635760
that actually sells
Checking out my Grimoire.
>>13635765
Hi-Nu doesn't sell?
>>13635769
expected sales weren't met
>>13635771
Now is the winter of Amuro's discontent.
>>13635607
help guys? Any infantry is good, as long as it's either futuristic (but realistic to some degree) or post 60s tech
>>13635771
that or they want to get rid of that stock
there is also the nightingale on sale for those who want to buy the pair, but I bet those are very few
>>13635641
GOD DAMNIT I THOUGHT I WAS SAFE
>>13635788
I wonder if you could turn the Nightingale into a sort of mobile weapons platform for Sinanju?
>>13635791
>>13635799
Yeah?
>>13635677
how much is it usually?
File or sandpaper for getting nubs off?
>>13635912
both
1. initial cut
2. file most of nub
3. sand the last bit of nub
>>13635768
That's so cool! Nobody has ever posted one of those before!

>>13635791
Well someone did it with the Sazabi so I don't see why not.
>>13635906
$115. It's the same price as ordering it from HLJ with SAL shipping right now, except you'll get it in two days.
>>13635966
See, I really want to do this now.
>>13635973
Doesn't seem too special to me
>>13634645
>>13634648
god damn this board can't even shitpost. chill guys.
>>13635973
>>13635983
yeah it's not super crazy, it's like lower than normal, the average probably is lower due to sellers without shipping cost in
oh my that preshading

Go purple
Haven't posed my Catsith in sooo loong.
Group Build organizer anon here, since there's a bit of a debacle surrounding the concept of the "factory roll-out" build I decided to change it in an attempt to foster a bit more creativity. To keep the idea of a mobile suit/mecha that is incomplete or otherwise not fully operational, the theme has been changed to:
Field Repair
Basically what this means is that rather than the mobile suit being fresh out of a factory, it's quite the opposite. Whether it's trudging through dense jungles or dodging debris in asteroid belts, your mobile suit has seen some better days.
You've been out in the field for quite a long time now, nearly half a year of active duty in the front lines and your personal mobile suit's pretty banged up. What's worse is the fact that there isn't a maintenance bay within several thousand kilometers of your local area that's capable of making any major repairs. Your unit's engineering crew has resorted to patch work and jury-rigging to keep your machine operational. Stray fire might have crippled its legs and arms or otherwise dealt considerable damage to a mobile suit's systems meanwhile some units have simply lost bits of armor and panels to the elements and have been forced to patch weld metal sheets over the exposed inner workings.
In any case it's beaten to hell but somehow you and your team have somehow kept it chugging along and now command's ordered all units operating in your theatre to fall back to form a defensive line against the enemy offensive.
Post feedback and try to keep it civil this time
>>13636080
This sounds fucking awesome. Tempted to buy a Zaku II HG to have the main mobile suit salvage parts from, but the other half of me says to not spend so damn much on gunpla and save.
im kind of regretting not getting a second fag architect now. I hope they have some extra when it releases
>>13636053
Yeah, it's been nice. But guess you couldn't go more than a day or two without shit posting.
>>13636080
im cool with that
>>13636094
I've learned my lesson and preordered 2, one to straight build and another tomod into a trap.
How is the Heavy Weapons Pale Rider in terms of size and possibility?
>>13636080
That sounds super cool. Can you modify it to say no missing limbs or something like that though? I feel like that kind of battle damage is overused and cheap.
>>13636139
Or if there are, they have to be included somewhere in a diorama or something.
>>13636120
It's like a Gundam Kampfer. If you liked the Kampfer, you'll like the HW Pale Rider.
I'm kinda biased towards it because of its steady-cam cannon, though.
