***READ THE GUIDE***
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.

Our next Group Build!
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.
Deadline: March 7

This looks fantastic. I can only hope that since they are pushing this now they will HURRY UP AND RELEASE THE DESTINY VER MB FUCK DM DECEMBER IS ALMOST OVER GET IT DONE.
Has anyone here acquired either the HG Delta Gundam Unit 2? Or the HG ReBawoo?
I'm very tempted to acquire either one of these kits but looking for opinions.
Merry Christmas guys.

We have to stop importing Zeon kits. They're drug dealers and rapists, those Zeons. We need to gather them all up and send them all back to Japan where they belong.

>>13666118
I'm so glad nobody bought me gunpla for Xmas. That means I get to be picky!
>>13666138
well
atleast you placed the stickers good
>>13666156
>>atleast you placed the stickers good
atleast you placed the stickers well
>>13666165
sorry grammar senpai
>>13666156
Aside from the forehead one, is it even possible to cock these up?
Does anyone else not know what do when you're gifted something but can't gift back?
>>13666063
>>13665958
>no waist
Victory Gundams dont have waists, period. its just not part of their design. the transformation eliminates the waist joint entirely, on the V2 even more than the Victory. the HGs got away it it since they dont transform.
Nice inner details
>>13666123
Yeah I can't believe that PG Unicorn, which was marketed as being more OVA accurate, was OVA accurate.
Just crazy of them.
>>13666266
MG infinite justice?
>>13666123
Bandai don't mold their gunpla off some profesional modeler's stuff.
>>13666285
Yep.
>>13666281
>OVA accurate
>Unchained mode
Tryon 3 arrives in 2 weeks. How much fun will I be having?
>>13666262
So, 1/100 HG and the new 1/100 MG ver. Ka.... I guess Bandai just said fuck it and made the Victory the same size as other Gundams?
Also, those circular seals look like a total bitch to place.
>>13666407
Ver Ka.
>>13666407
The V2 is still smaller than the RX-78-2 MG kits, so that's still consistent. Now whether or not it's smaller than the MG F91/Crossbone is another thing
>>13666299You know that 11th novel volume coming soon?
>>13666407
Uh, this isn't new. The HGUC Victory is a bit taller than it should be too.
>>13666407
Well that depends. Anyone have measurements? The one that would actually be 1/100 would be the one that is 15.5cm tall head height and 17.5cm tall including the backpack V nozzle.
>>13666458
>>13666443
I know that late UC suits aren't usually to scale due to their complexity, but the one on the left was a 1/100 as well. Then again, it could be that the 1/100 HG was scaled properly due to the reduced complexity; if not, this is a pretty big jump from an already off-scale model.
>>13666063
They're all being shipped but I got
>HG Psycho Zaku
>HG Thunderbolt Gundam
>HG Messala
>HG Byarlant
>HG Tryon 3
So it's looking good
>>13666063
1/100 Seravee
GP Base
SDX Satan
The latter came with this little guy who's just perfect for today.
Should I focus only on buying the brand new kits (2015 and upcoming) or are older kits fine too?
>>13666629
Depends on the kit. Some new kits are shit, some old kits are great.
Generally speaking, more recent HGUCs are better than old ones just because tech advances, but they also sometimes oversimplify and make something with awful articulation, or wonky proportions.
>>13666629
My experience is that anything from ~2012 or so is usually going to be decent. If you only stick with current kits, you're going to lose out on a few really good ones simply because Bandai doesn't do revisions all that often.
>>13665932
I have both, I replied to your post in the previous thread before I scrolled down and realized that the new thread had been made. They are both cool kits and fun builds imo but the thing is that the Delta Gundam Unit 2 is literally just a regular Delta Gundam just with different colors and special decals while the Rebawoo has parts on it that aren't on the regular Bawoo, and these parts have to be glued on. The rebawoo is not for a snapfag, because it takes more than a OOB straight build to make it look good.
>>13665853
Shit this looks awesome, any info of price or releasedate?
>>13666668
It's a custom.

>>13666131
>backpacker murderers
Are those backpackers who murder, or murderers of backpackers?
>>13666674
it's not a "custom," it's a preview of DM's upcoming release of a PG unicorn kit. Dragon Momoko is a 3rd party manufacturer.
It's nice to have new people here but stop answering questions you don't 100% know the answer to.
>>13666407
Yeah, the V2 is way taller than it should be, it towers over the normal Victory. It looks as tall as one of the Wing Gundams.
>>13666717
I know it's inaccurate and would look wrong next to late UC kits many own, but I am ok with this new height going forward for the sake of consistency among all kits
>>13666461
The older 1/100 is actually a little too short - mine stands 14.6 cm to the top of the head.
>>13666702
So, a custom.
>>13666702
DM model their shit off people's custom, same with the Strike, Akatsuki, and their Destiny was a MB. So yes by design it is a"custom".
>>13666771
By design it can be construed to be a custom since it's not official but distribution wise it is not and will be made available to abyone who can buy it.
>>13666788
I guess it depends how we split the hairs on what 'custom' denotes.
Like, if you cobble some parts together and make a thing, versus the moment you make your own molds to mass produce that thing?
>>13666063
Got HG Barbatos and Gusion along with MG Aile Strike and Astray Blue Frame all in the mail right now. Also got HG Gouf from my local shop.

>>13666433
>>13666443
>>13666458
>>13666461
>>13666466
Keep in mind that this is a ver. Ka kit, so it's Katoki's own take on a ms.....that he himself designed. Although like the tallgeese update this might be closer to ehat he originally intended without meddling or being simplified for animation.
>>13666063
my family is fucking awesome
>>13665686
Merry christmas. I hope you trip and fall on your hobby knife.Urethra first.
>>13665853
Does anyone know what color the psychoframe on this is?
>>13667017
With an attitude like that I don't think you should be celebrating Xmas. Cheers!
This is the first time I build a head and think "How cool this head looks".

>>13666717
MG V-Dash was taller than the old HG as well.
>>13667254
He's saying it's much taller than the MG V Gundam. V2 shouldn't be much taller than the V1. Especially in the same scale.
>>13667258
the HGs were also taller than the old models, its a recurring thing with the newer Victory kits. its probobly just Katoki taking some artistic leway with his models, the small MS thing was Tomino's idea and Katoki never seemed to be a big fan of that.
>>13666033
Then why did you just assume he was using acrylics?
>>13667275
Why does the V2 look so sad?
>>13667334
because you shitpost too much.
>little brothers get me MG Exia Dark Matter
>havent worked on an MG in like 3 years due to school and work due to lack of time
Fug
I also hate the colors on this thing so Ill have to paint it
my new years resolution is to stop browsing this general and probably the whole board. I am sick of tripfags on this being oblivious or thick headed. Best of luck dudes. boo hoo waaah waah.
>>13666063
I didn't ask for any Gunpla this year since I already grabbed most everything I want, and I started to skew away from MGs anyways so I put the list towards vidya and third-party transformers instead.
I did sign up for /toy/'s secret santa, but I haven't gotten mine in the mail yet. Hopefully it comes before the end of the year, but oh well.
>>13667155
which Zeta kit?
Play with your campaign parts!
>>13666660
and here I thought the Delta Gundam Unit 2 has a double jointed elbow and a T joint for the legs
Is the mg wing custom ver ka worth getting?
>>13667768
get the Ver EW instead, better colors, better decals and an action base mount.

someone make me a quick design of what you think a welder attachment for the origin mobile worker would look like
I'm considering making some extra attachments for the arm couplers
>>13668361
or alternatively, some sort of heat blade based cutting tool
>>13668111
Ok
When are they reprinting Thunderbolt kits?
It seems they're sold out.
>>13668111
Sorry for the bad photo, still need to work on covering up some nubs before applying dullcoat
>>13668444
Again, still need to cover up some nubs and dullcoat but I really like this kit

is there any 3rd party that sells the flight unit for the pg astray?
or would 3d printing for the runners be enough?
>>13668544
fucking ugly
>>13668433
MG coming soon, friend
>>13668262
Bear in mind that I don't own the SUMO kit, but everytime I've seen it, it looks awful. It seems like it would take a ton of work to make it decent. The mold looks really basic and inaccurate. There are seam lines everywhere on top of the crappy detail.
>>13666251
Get them something later, a spur of the moment return of the favour is nice.
it's crazy how different the old kits look, especially during construction. I'm hoping to finish this kit next now that the colony is done.
My brother sent me an MG Epyon. Anything I should know about it? This will be my first MG, built a couple of RGs in the past.
>>13667275
Thought the small MS thing was due to economics and the price of plastic?
>>13668653
MG Epyon EW or regular MG Epyon? I built the EW and don't recall any issues, although it does come with dry application decals, so that's something you may not be used to.
>>13668760
Well it's more of how technology in UC has progressed.
And how bullshit strong weapons have become.
I mean do you remember how the vulcans basically up rooted an entire section of forest.
>>13668357
Came like that. It's an RC
>>13668760
>>13668798
Both are true. One is the in-universe explanation, the other is the real world explanation.
>>13668798
The EW Epyon is the only MG Epyon
>>13668798
No, that was the excuse in universe. It was a cost saving measure.
One that turned out to not save any money. So yeah.
>>13668818
How badly did Victory bomb anyway?
>>13668818
So when animating the series they preemptively knew that the kits cost too much and the series wouldn't do well? OK.
>>13668826
No. They wanted smaller suits so they COULD have smaller kits.They made the kits and after they did so they realized there were no savings in production, threw their hands into the air, and just kind of stuck with it.
>>13668778
EW, done some dry decals on a Kotobukiya kit. Thanks
>>13666660
Are the white engraving bits on the rebawoo raised at all, so I can paint them? Or are the stickers basically necessary?
Should I be using regular plastic cement or the extra thin version for seam wielding?
>>13668907
really depends on the part, if it's something large like 2 halves of a leg or foot the thicker can be better, but you really need to let it dry
if it's a small part the thin can be better because it is a lot more manageable but also can evaporate quickly
>>13666063
>>13668823
not as bad as some people would like you to believe, considering they made 3 AU's back to back right after Victory ended. its not like it was after Turn A ended and gundam was pretty much dead for years.
>>13667004
>not the resistance xwing.
shiet nigga, i don't know if I should laugh or cry.
>>13668952
omg ebin sick burn bruh.fucking kill yourself
>>13668952
Not that guy, but I have mixed feelings on the new design. The core body is much improved, but I'm not really a fan of the new wing/engine design.
Any thoughts/suggestions on how to make the graze transform into a waverider/jet mode? I have some ideas for a new build
>>13668952
>star wars
>shiet nigga
i see what you did there
>>13668952
Remember the old movies? Everything is EXACTLY LIKE THE OLD MOVIES DONT YOU LOVE THIS SHIIIIIIT
My friend says that whenever he sees the G-Selfie that it looks like Frieza. I am disappointed I couldn't find a custom of it.
>>13669000
Inner Frame is very much a hindrance to this plan as it can only move in certain ways and you essentially need ti since the Graze without it isn't much. Keep that in mind for sure. I would say get the Ballden Arms Arms, they help a ton for this kind of project.
>>13668867
they are not raised at all, you can still paint it but it's just more difficult and rime consuming.
>>13669064
I'll use a set of double ball joints in certain parts to increase articulation. I'll need to use kitbashing and scratchbuilding of course.
>>13669000
kek, best i can come up with default.
>>13669099
Study every trasform MS and see what you can do to make it look at least "mobile armor-like"
>>13669099
How flexible is he?
Pretty happy with these two, being my second and thrid Gunplas ever! Expecting more in the mail, hoping my family surprises me with the rest.
Ps: fuck those stickers on Jehannam's shoulders and eye. Didn't even bother with the eye stickers because I couldn't understand where to place them...
>>13669163
>Nubs, gouges, and stress marks.
I don't think I've ever seen all three in someone's work at the same time before.
You using proper nippers? Got a hobby knife or sandpaper?
>>13669163
for just starting gunpla youre doing fine, but i recommend you invest in a hobby knife or gundam markers and look into panel lining and continue from there.
>>13669193
I do, but I just don't worry over it. I'm happy the way they come. I feel like putting that much work into a toy is a little too much work. I'd rather just enjoy the building process, and have a nice toy to pose around.

>He doesn't build his plastic toys the same way I do, therefore he's an idiot and should get the fuck out.
What a manchild we have discovered. I hope you realize how fucking ridiculous you sound.(But you won't cause: ego)
>>13669385
He's absolutely right though
Well at least she isn't saying "gunpla is freedom"
>>13669385
You seem upset.
>>13669390
I'm not even the guy you attempted to insult (Note: Attempted) So; no, I am not upset. But you still sound like a manchild. "You seem upset." as if to try to poke and prod at me until I'm angry. That's what little fucking kids do. Grow up. (And let people build things they pay for however the fuck they like, just because someone doesn't have the same preference as you is no reason to childishly insult someone.)
>>13669397
That wasn't even me, friend. You do sound a bit grumpy, though.
>>13669402
Not in the slightest. I just believe that people have the right to carry on their hobby as they please; and who are any of us to judge? Why are we belittling people who enjoy and have the same hobby as us? It just doesn't make sense, and again is a very childish and ego driven thing.
But that's just my 2 cents.
Merry xmas, friend.
>>13669397
You are this mad
>>13669410
It's called having some semblance of standards
>>13669430
It's called attaching far to much importance to something that really has no importance at all, in your case. (Over a toy) Which is what makes you a manchild. It's really funny how you are so originally calling me mad in an attempt to actually get me angry. Are you the inventor of that meme? I'm impressed.
/r/ing the v2 with the ultra nubs
There's nothing wrong with snapbuilds.
>>13669455
Here's the deal. If it's your first ten kits, then fine, leave the nub marks, stress marks, etc.
Past 10, you should be competent enough to handle a knife or sandpaper to clean those out.
past 20 kits, you should at least be detailing, doing minor seam welds, etc.
Of course there will always be times where you just cant be fucked 100%, but you have to improve along the way. You dont have to completely get into scratch building or resins if you dont feel confident enough though.
The sad thing is, a lot of people here go on both extreme sides of the spectrum - the forever snapfags who never improves and the faggots who's done one painted build and thinks they're shit hot.
merry christmas?excuse the shit photo i cut my finger on the deathscythes edge
>>13669441
It's not a toy. Its a model kit. If you want a toy, get a robot damaishii or MSIA. Part of this hobby is at the very least doing the basics to remove and sand down nubs properly. If you can't even do that and consider these "toys" then get out, nobody wants you here. Go back to your reddit or tumblr or god forbid facebook hugbox.
Gunpla holds importance for most everyone here, outside of snapfaggot. If you can't understand why we take our model building seriously, then I'll say it again, leave.
>>13669441
Here's the thing, you're in a gunpla general, for people who love it as a hobby and enjoy putting effort in it. And then someone go in there and say he doesn't like putting effort in it, of course people are going to get upset. That's like posting on /a/ when you barely watch more than the most popular anime.
Learn to respect people's effort by putting in effort on your own.
Or you can just continue to snapfag but just don't show that off in this kind of threads.
>>13669280
>Also it's not a toy it's a model kit for crying out loud

The fact you keep on responding all the while spouting the same uninformed crap means you are that mad.
>>13669566
And of course you would spout uninformed and frankly disgusting crap too
>>13669485
There's no need to force people to improve, if they enjoy how they are building their models, then let them carry on like that.
>>13669578
>And of course you would spout uninformed and frankly disgusting crap too
Models are toys, manchild.
>>13669560
you immediately assume I'm a snapfag (Which I'm not, in fact I don't even build gunpla) and both you and >>13669547 are missing the point. I'm not going to sit here and waste my breath past this post because obviously no matter what I say people are going to have their opinions and you know what? That's okay. Because that is what is at the heart of my opinion.
We are all anonymous individuals from all over the world, none of us own /m/, and an individual is free to explore his or her hobby in any way because guess what? They get to decide what they want to do with their gunpla because it is exactly that, theirs. Do you think he is the only gunpla noob (assuming he is a noob) on this forum? Not by a long shot, and I'm almost certain that at some point you were not that great yourself at building your models. Should you have been excluded, just because your skills weren't up to par? No, because that's the great thing about this place. It's open to all, and no one person has any more say then the next.
In the end, there is a place for people who are not good at assembling gunpla in this thread just as there is a place for gunpla aces. If you have that much of a problem with it then ignore it, because no one has to go anywhere for you just because you are bothered by pictures of badly built toys on the internet, and no one deserves to be berated for something they enjoy doing. (Especially when it is the same fucking hobby) Learn to give tips and encourage better work, instead of putting people down and shaming them out of a hobby you should be stoked about having people to share with.
That's also how I can tell you are a manchild. You've clearly never mentored anyone in your life.
Have a good night /m/. Hopefully at least one person will take away some positive feelings from what I've layed out.

>Grow up.
Says the guy in a thread about building tiny plastic robots.
>And let people build things they pay for however the fuck they like
Yes people can spend their money and build a kit however they want, I agree 100%. But coming here and posting photos of it and thinking they will get replies like "awesome dude!" or "looks rad!" or just a personal hugbox in general is foolish; especially when there are people that frequent this thread (or at least used to, it's not that many anymore unfortunately) that actually put effort into their work and make something worth sharing that fellow builders want to see. So whether you're the OP of those pics, some SJW with too much free time, or transformers:snap-shit-kun in disguise, I hope you now understand the reason for the negative responses that you have been so valiantly replying to.
>>13669617
Never have I seen a post so long winded and yet devoid of anything meaningful.
>>13669617
Nigger stop posting walls of text and just try to build you damn Gunpla right.
>>13669617
>don't put others down
>but here I'll call you a manchild anyways
Lol nice hypocrisy man.
Also, there's plenty of us that give tips and criticism to people that are actually trying to improve. You and snapfaggot aren't trying to improve. You consider this a "manchild" hobby after all, these are only toys according to you. When you can't even read the guide, you might as well not post here at all. This place is for people that actually care about the hobby, not shitposters and retards that refuse to learn in the first place. There are no positive feelings in your post for anyone but the most braindead of individuals that believe they should constantly and consistently harass us with their poorly-built garbage and then refuse to even do the most basic of basics required for this hobby. You're like that person that goes to a fighting game tournament with no experience, loses the first round, calls your opponent cheap and lame, and then goes on a rant about how people playing that tournament should let noobs win so everyone feels good. Fuck off, this isn't kindergarten. Not everyone gets a trophy, and when those of us that care about the hobby see something covered in nubs we're gonna call you out on it. I hope you and snapfaggot die in your sleep.

>Something, something our hobby is like a cult to us and if you're not with us, you're against us.
I am going to enjoy this.
>>13669139
I was going to use the two ports on the back for wing binders and shit. I haven't got the kit yet so I'm not sure what mods need to be made to the frame/armour.
>Older brother got me HG Titans MK-II
>But it's the older version, not the Revive.
Oh well, is it still good?
>>13669668
Yes. I owned it. Double check if the numbers for the shoulder are waterslides or stickers because I don't remember.
>>13669658
If you love a hobby, you work harder at it, but hard work is something that's beyond your capability of understanding. Clearly you aren't a newtype.
>>13669670
They're waterslides.
>>13669658
Bro you don't get it.
You're just in it for attention that's all and this is the last time i'll give into your half assed posts and even more half assed reasonings.
>>13669617
I'm the one who you replied to. Did you even read what i wrote above?
>Learn to give tips and encourage better work, instead of putting people down and shaming them out of a hobby you
The first 2 replies for the poster was telling him to get proper tools for his next kit. He then tell them "nah it's a toy i don't need to put efforts into it"
Did YOU ever mentored anyone in your life? Ever taught someone something and then they just ignore it because they're just doing this for fun?
But sure that guy do whatever he want with his gunpla but continuing to post pics or nubs and saying it's just a toy isn't gonna go well for him.
Have a nice day, self-proclamed matured person.
>>13669697
>Ever taught someone something and then they just ignore it because they're just doing this for fun?
Heaven forbid they enjoy what they do.
I didn't demand perfection when I was 10 years old and building fucking Airfix kits with my dad, I built model kits because I liked to do it and didn't sweat the small stuff. Guidance is nice, but there's no reason at all to shit on people because they choose to do things differently.
>>13669715
It's not choosing to do something differently. I could use instant cement to seam weld, or I could use putty. What you're talking about is just plain laziness.
>>13669715

Comparison of old kit to REVIVE kit. Old one is on the left, revive is on the right.
>>13669611
It's ironic you of all people would call someone a manchild when its clear ruining this board is the closest thing you've ever had to employment
anybody interested in a bunch of moonrunes claiming to be pbandai?
>>13665647
Is it really a space colony plastic model or fan creation ?
>>13669952
It's really a space colony.
Gundam took the idea from the O'Neil cylinder, which wave has also done.
>>13669988
I meant the model in the pic.
Is the model in OP's pic official model by bandai or made by some fan or other company ?
>>13669658
keep wasting your money, honestly
>>13670047
>keep wasting your money, honestly
Money isn't wasted if you get what you want out of it, silly boy. Mind sharing what you so cunningly did with yours?
>>13670088
What happened to this model
>>13670088
Tag your photos for gore.
>>13670088
What do you get out of it? A bunch of kits with little to no effort made on them and a couple (You)s from the internet?
Why not do some panel lining or some basic nub removal? Do you have no sense of self improvement?
>>13670031
That is what I said.
>>13670159
>>13670189
I honestly find your way of posting more confusing and annoying than snapshit, but at least the same three photos of your Unicorn and 00 Qant look alright
>>13670197
thanks
>>13670194
No, you didin't say where I can buy that plamo.
>>13669947
I'm actually the son of Patrick Bandai himself and he told me this is fake
>>13670098
It does have some dust on the rifle... I should take care of that.

I get what I want out of my kits. Let's see yours! You are so quick to criticize what I post while you produce absolutely nothing.
>>13669291
Model kits don't have to be expensive.
Both legs and waist wired now, still running test patterns, but with a button to switch between colours.

good job. I like the green the most
Okay, I can't handle this. I'm the guy that posted the "snapfigs". Look, I didn't expect everyone to get so mad, or cause so many arguments. I just wanted to share and discuss gundam. I know that these are shoddily assembled, but the thing is, I'm worried about ruining the figures.
Like, I get fucking shaky whenever I put the stickers on, and that's something I can't help. I couldnmt imagine trying to buffer these things out, and end up scratching up the figure. It'd be ruined forever because of my nervousness. And on the topic of "being lazy", yeah, I am, i'm nit going to hide it. But I don't share my photos to get critique, I knew I was gonna get flak in the first place. Plus, these guys look cool, and have great articulation, which I'm a sucker for pulling off nice poses.
I share them to show that I'm having fun with them as much as you guys do. Maybe even see someone's elses models and see how cool THEIRS is, with all the streamlining and nice painting. I don't want another argument to start, I just wanted to explain myself, because I obviously caused a lot of harm. Merry Christmas (kinda...)
>inb4 "fucking snapfag"
>>13670345
It's okay to be a snapfag but at least trim the nubs off. Don't be afraid to show off your kits. The people are just buttmad all the time.
>>13670345
You can use a tweezers to place stickers. This is the kind I use.
>>13670372
Ahh, I see. My natural fear though is like, Space jahennam's instructions on putting the stickers on his eyes is SO confusing. So, I don't even know where to put them on his face. Hell, the stickers on his shoulders just float over the piece they go on.
>>13670345
There's nothing wrong with taking it easy when starting out.
Also panel lining and nub removal doesn't exactly have a lot that can go wrong. Sanding is pretty damn easy.
i really want to get a liger zero and all its armor sets, but does anyone know of a way to display the armor that isn't in use?
if money and space weren't an issue i'd just get four ligers in total, but that's not an option at the moment
>Let's see yours! You are so quick to criticize what I post while you produce absolutely nothing.
You heard the man. Post what you finished this year. The AT-ST needs a wash super bad, but it's fine from a distance.
>>13670409
Forgot to mention Nineball-Graze is still a WIP, my bad.
>>13670345
I don't mind when people post any of their kits, but I like to see an effort to make it look more presentable. You can post the same kit multiple times, but just don't spam the same picture. Panel lining with a Gundam marker or using 1000 grit sandpaper or something would help them out a lot.
It's fucking too hot to build anything fuck.
Fucking hate summer. It's even fucking hot at night fuck.
>>13670306
Looking good mate.
What're you planning for the final display?
>>13670255
Here you go, look how much better it looks with just a little bit of panel lining on the head vents?
>>13670425
Australia?
>>13670428
Here's one more, no dull coat yet but when the weather warms up I'll spray some on.
>>13670425
>>13670434
>Weather complaining
I'm so mad, I live in Arizona, USA where it's supposed to be mid 70's in the Winter. But apparently the year I decide I want to paint and coat my shit is the year we get some of the coldest temperatures in state history.
>>13670428
damn is that the Revive HG RX-78? That looks pretty sweet wow.
>>13670430
Aye.
>>13670446
Condolences.
>>13670425
Final display planning on making a display box for her, with an engraved and edgelit back, along with scaffold truss and spotlights lining the inside.
>>13670434
I'm in Illinois so I can't really do shit here
>>13670409
What's the kit next to Transient? Frame arms?
>>13670452
Thanks for being nice but I know I could have done some more panel lining and removed some nubs a little better.
But that's the point isn't it? If you're not making a conscious effort to improve in any aspect in life then you're just regressing.
I mean, if you're not attempting to make something close to the instruction manual then what's the point? Why even bother putting on the stickers at all if you don't want to make it look better with some effort?
>>13670471
Yep, Revenant Eye to be exact. The frosting from the topcoat was totally intentional and wasn't a result of me using krylon for it
>>13670476
I dunno, I guess the lighting and everything in the picture make it look just really clean and nice.
>>13670428
Hey that's cool! I've got some campaign part on mine and I've got the bazooka stored in the back. I'm going full thunderbolt.
>>13670387
You can use a toothpick to dampen stickers BUT the way the stickers for the eyes work is the long ones are horizontal and short ones are vertical. It's hard to get right, don't worry about it. Look at mine.

All that is 27 dollars with Amazon Prime, less than the cost of a kit. All that plus maybe an hour or two worth of effort would make your kit look better.
