***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, dont 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 >>14190050
Which one should I buy this month?
Do we really need a new thread now? The old one's only on page 7.
>>14196886
Berkut.
>>14196910
It's probably a kneejerk reaction threadpost in response to the other thread, not every anon that makes the thread knows the unspoken rule of "wait until page 9 or 10" and we don't have toot in here making the threads for us all the time anymore either.
>>14196886
Grey Berkut
>>14196886
FAT BALALAIKA
>>14197017
I already have the Tank-Class and I would like to have Laser-Class now.
But the Balalaika seems a funnier build.
>>14197047
Get the Shiranui 2nd Phase 3
>>14197072
Phase 1 >> *
>>14196960
there was never such an unspoken rule
Finished the weapons, now to finish putting on all the waterslide decals
Wasn't there an anon building a waveFSS kit couple of weeks(months?) ago? How did it go? I'm thinking of buying engage SR1.
any news on the RG after 00Q?
RG Unicorn? RG Nu? RG Snow White?
>>14196878
Never thought any of my pics would be used for the OP. YAY!!!
i dunno if i should matte coat or do gloss coat on this ..or what color to use for panels. This is my favorite model kit so don't wanna fuck it up
It only took 3 weeks of an hours work a day but I finally finished my pg banshee. Decided to go with the novel loadout since I already had the hg banshee norn and ova banshee mg. Good God those leds were a nightmare and the shoulder joints are looser than a Thai hooker.
>>14197246
gray for the white parts or black if you want super contrast
>>14197118
I'm still working on it but I've had other projects with deadlines. I will finish it in the next few weeks, I have the white and silver parts down I just need to do the masking and the dark parts.
Post ur favorite kit for good luck powers,I have my 4 hour crim law exam today for 100% of my grade.
Luckily after that it's gunpla time for half the summer, so get ready for CONTENT. I'm on the paint stage of
>Bawoo
>LED Mirage
>Psycommu Zaku
>1980 1/144 Gundam
>Zaku Tank
>rest of that Stark Jegan I guess
>probably something else
The big stuff will be the MG projects, Origin and GM Type-C
>>14197246
semigloss
>>14197246
matte is much safer to spray if you are not used to painting
>>14197081
I will never not really like this design. It's just so good.
>>14197572
Good luck, Anon!
I can't post my favourite one as I don't have any pics, but of the 10 HGs I've built so far I really, really, like my Victory. It's just so... neat, yet simple.
Does anyone know where i can get extra MG stickers? not decals, but the sticker sheet.
>>14197605
I legitimately don't think I've seen this asked before
You might try posting your country and what kit you need, someone might have a spare if they used decals
>>14197628
Singapore, if anyone has the stickers for the MG Quanta's circular areas beneath the clear green parts i'll be willing to buy it from you.
It looks really good but i dont have them anymore
>>14197581
i have a bottle of Model Masters acryl "flat" topcoat and model masters gloss that I was going to try to paintbrush on..is that a bad idea?
>>14197644
maybe time to learn to detail paint
>>14197572
>crim law exam
I have mine about a month from now
Godspeed, anon
>>14197657
maybe in the future, but as i am right now there's no way i can beat the perfect circle and printed words it has
>>14197653
that is really a tough call yeah
cans would be the best for you, but if I had to topcoat a kit without an airbrush I would do a gloss finish with Future for sure. Future has insane leveling properties and is one of the best at hiding brush strokes. Lots of jet guys and car guys just literally DUNK their whole clear parts, shake them off and then leave them alone and it's all good. You can brush it pretty well for that reason. So if you can get future I would do that. You have to LEAVE IT ALONE though, no matter what, even if it looks like it's getting hazy or whatever. Put it under a box top too so it doesn't get dusty.
If you have to use what you've got I would do a lot of practice first.
>>14197665
just remember, always be on the lookout for felony murder
looking for a yellowish gold paint, suitable for the inner frame of SF and such.
Any suggestions? My local hobby store only has gaianotes and modo so preferably something from those brands
I came here to upset you
>>14197081
>putting on all the waterslide decals
good fucking luck, it ends up becoming a chore
>>14197572
How did you do the lines of the psycho Zaku? did you just use a hefty load of tape?
>>14197717
>>14197719
yeah, just put in the time basically
This is the bottom half
>>14197723
>>14197717
are you 100% retard? or just underage maybe
>>14197725
also it's kind of hard to tell from pic 2 but the curved portions on both sides of the line are done with the small segments, then just a big piece to cover the rest
>>14197717
>>14197722
burn that abomination!
>>14197717
the sad part is, and I know we all know this is bad, and you fell into the trap of doing too many recessed areas in the teal like the dots on the shoulders etc., but other than the terrible quality I actually think that's a nice looking colorscheme
>>14197722
>>14197717
are you by chance the guy that only paints in those black and neon blue colors? I remember he made an ok GM Sniper but the other 2 models were cancer, one was an astraea I think
>>14197718
Oh I know, I think I'll keep off the ones highlighting the psychoframe but keep the ones around the moving parts. It's been hours of slow progress and I've only done less than 1/3 of the ones I want.
Been meaning to ask you, where did you get that shield?
>>14197789
the extra parts came in vol 14 of some unicorn manga I bought from HLJ like 5 months ago or so
they are basically 2 parts that attach with clamps to the Nu shield, looks neat, but makes it impossible heavy
>>14197118
Speaking of FSS kits, I hope that new Volks IMS KOG comes out by the end of this year. Bandai has released literally nothing this year so far that I've wanted, so I think I'll have the cash for this.

Dammit, my Japanese friend wasn't with me at the time and now I can never show my face back there again.
So Are there other models with the same kinda pretty head monoeye set up because I am seriously loving the Zudah head.

You must be a moron not to know how to read numbers and count the yen in your pockets.

hey 1L bro, graduating 3L here. you can do it! keep working hard and by the time you're in my shoes you'llbe jaded as fuck but able to cope with the crushing workload
What are the best UC styled backpacks?
The EZ series from BFT was pretty good.
>tfw you have sculpture skill so high you would be able to scratch build this hamma hamma concept but you dont have anywhere to buy epoxy putty or plaplate;-;
>>14197815
How expensive do you think it will be? I've always liked the design but Volks kits aren't cheap. Are we talking LED Mirage level prices here?
>>14197886
Epoxy isn't that great for sculpting anyway. There's a transition gap between working with clay or wax and working with epoxy. Epoxy is much stickier and cures quickly which has messed a lot of people up.
Why can't you get epoxy anyway?
>>14197572
good luck anon!
>>14197853
p bandi kits don't have price on them
>>14197653
You can always test it out on the left over runners from the kit
>>14197901
If you go to a physical store, they always have the pricetag on them or on the shelf.
Also, P-Bandai kits do have a pricetag; the last 4 digits of the barcode.
>>14197815
>>14197888
It's a bit weird that the KOG gets heels. I don't think it ever appeared like that in the Manga.
>>14197893
I see anon thanks for the advice
My hobby store does not have it at the momrnt
What would you recommend to use?
>>14197927
I really hope we get option parts for skid feet. I don't mind the high heels, but the original style for the feet is far superior.
>>14197927
It does for like one tiny panel.
>>14197815
I'm more excited for the Auge, personally. KOG will probably reuse the same dated Mirage frame as the LED and Terror and so it'll be a lot less stable than newer releases. Auge will be a 100% new tooling from the ground up, and probably won't cost nearly as much as KOG because it has no gold plating.
>>14197959
And those fucking shoulders are to die for.
>>14197815
>>14197959
How the hell are these kits going to even stand up?
>>14197959
Wait, KOG will be chrome plated? That sucks.
Nobody is talking about the Dragon Momoko Strike Noir?
>>14197984
It's kind of sad Bandai is being completely outdone by 3rd parties
>>14197975
I think it will probably be like how Bandai went about making the Hyaku Shiki 2.0's gold parts, so not so much plating as is spraying. All the pictures I see of the old resin kit this was based off of have that same gold color. But it will still cost a lot because of the gold.
>>14197990
Plus they really go all out on their posing
>>14197995
>>14197974
They'll probably give you a metal rod to stick in their backpack like they did for LED Mirage. I don't see why Auge needs a stand since the weight distribution will be balanced by its huge flat feet.
Here's hoping we get a proper Junchoon someday to replace that shitty old Wave kit.
>>14197833
Pro tip in Japan
Grab item
Hand to cashier
Hand more or exact amount of yens
Collect left over yens from bowl by the register
Grab the bag that your plastic toy now inhabits and leave.
Never once do you have to talk.
If you feel like you should or like to pretend that you do go in this order and nod a lot.
"Ikura des ka?"
"Kore kudasai "
" Domo "
And done, you were even polite.
>>14197888
>Are we talking LED Mirage level prices here?
With the gold plating, probably.
>>14197984
ha, called it months ago
>>14197717
Why the fuck do people who have no idea what they're doing always use Folk Art paint?
>>14197833
Is this your first time going outside your country anon? Just do this >>14198036
If you looks like a filthy gaijin then you don't even have to talk.
>>14198094
Because it's cheap and readily available.
>>14198094
Because paint is paint. It's the way you apply the paint which separates the good painters from the great
Finished this the other day. Still working on my painting (using spray paint). Undecided if I want to give it a matte or semi-gloss finish.
>>14198168
Here's a hint: If you take pictures from further way and then resize the picture, the overly thick paint will be less noticeable and then you won't get shit on for it.
>>14197734
damn been playing gundam missing link and seeing this just hits me hard. So many rg styled suits in one game and so many msv suits that wont be made. Pixie, efreet types in 1/144, unit 4 and 5, mudrock, so many others.
>>14197730
>>14197745
>>14197758
It's not mine, just found it and felt like sharing it's gloriousness, the dude who did paint it claims that it's only a base coat and plans to weather it.
>>14197717
>>14197722
>Reposting redditor or tumblrite shit
I'm upset because it may actually look worse than snapfag's shit.
>>14197833
>Y-you too
>>14197734
For your sanity in the future, tamiya now makes a curveable/bendable masking tape that is supposed to work pretty well.
>>14198166
Cheap paint is cheap because it has low pigment resulting in less vibrant color. Depending on the formula is also may not adhere or level well.
You can still use it, but there are better paints than cheap craft store paints.
I've got a question for you guys regarding the 1/144 System Weapon kits...
Can anybody find the more obscure ones for less than $20 a pop in the US (i.e. NOT 001 and 002, and the double-bazooka kit)? These things are priced more heavily than crack according to Amazon and Ebay.
can some one elaborate on what he means by this?

>>14198368
Cut half of the peg away diagonally so it's shaped like a wedge or an upside down cone instead of a can.
Anyone got tips for painting miniature figures like the one in pic related? I just need it to look okay, but leaving it solid gray feels wrong.
>>14198382
There's a vid for that.
https://youtu.be/TFYErB4LRKk
>>14198371
there is literally one frame where it shows what he meant. Thanks though, your explanation made it easier for my feeble mind to comprehend.

>>14197882
I love the Mk II backpack but do you mean something more ridiculous
>>14198555
Has anyone ever painted this thing, but you know... Good?
Cause the colour guide exists. I've seen it.
>>14198596
>>14197990
I just don't think it looks that good. Its detailed, but it's not a real subject so who cares how much detail it has I'd it doesn't actually look cooler.
>>14198610
Actually looks nice. Would pilot it.
>>14198005
Wow this pic really makes the DM version look like total chink trash
>>14198614
>If they're going to pirate a kit, they might as well put effort into it
I got one of these for my little cousin for last Christmas. Saw another at the book store and picked it up myself. Its my first 1/144. This thing is flexible as fuck. The fire effects are also cool as fuck. I think I made a good choice. It was a pretty easy build. Idk if im gonna panel line it. Doing something this small sounds irritating as fuck.
>>14198614
They are using their base Strike model, which already good enough, far better than Bandai's.
Given that the MG Noir is ancient, that new DM kit will surely be cooler
>>14197833
WAITO PIGGO GO HOOOME
>>14198722
False. 1/100 kits with HG detail is where it's at. That's why the RE 100 line is the best
Taking a break from gundams. My nex build is going to be either an armored core (prolly the sunshine) or a zoid (some type of dino). Any suggestions?
>>14198719
It is a very good kit.

haven't build AC kits, how good are they?
>>14198820
In the last 4 days, I finished the fabgeese(witch might get thrown in a box, never to see the light of day), and built an, SD unicorn, pitit guy blue, and a 1/144 build fighters burning gundam. I'm done with gundam stuff for now.
>>14198824
ur waifu a shit
>>14198829
Idk about the AC kits. I just like the sunshin cause it looks like a tank with legs. The shadow fox looks lame IMO. Not enough guns, and not a dinosaur. The gun snipers looks pretty cool from what iv'e been seeing.
>>14198788
A couple of very fantastic lookin White Glint customs have been making the rounds over at r/Gunpla.

>>Zaku Tank
NOICE
>>14198928
what are your prices and shipping?
>>14199076
depends on how many you buy, if you bought them all they would average on 8-10 each. That includes the special editions and MG. Shipping for all would most likely be flate rate 100 or so since it would be coming in like at most 3 boxes.
>>14198956
MUCH better.
>>14198928How's the business been going?
I never managed to find another cheap GN archer ;_;
Also that dude with the old G Gundam kits in his backlog from the last thread should like, sell those to me. Maybe.
>>14199183life has been crazy, still haven't had time to move down there. Almost done renovating my properties to sell then it's time to buy a new car and open up the business.
So I just orderd a 1/72 gun sniper leena special. And a 1/144 double X gundam. I'm excited about a dinosaur with guns.
>>14198905
I use Tamiya gloss spray - can I use enamel paint and thinner over that?
>>14198928
Is this a first come first served kind of thing, or are you just taking the best offer?
Could you hold kits for a week if we're waiting on a paycheck?
>>14199370
>box says Master Grade Model on it
>HG kits sitting inside
>>14199370
You know, I'd be down for building a G Saviour and seeing what I could do with it. It'd be a hell of a thing to show up to your local Gunpla Battle qualifiers with.
>>14199407
Man I've been holding these for like a year doing nothing anyway so I can wait a week. I just want to throw like 20 in a box and ship them. Most I'm selling at such a loss you can sell them and make money.
>>14199370
>>14199430
That's a lot of stuff
Who needs a revive GM anyway, r-right guys?pls bandai ;_;
>>14199444

>>14199455
Pretty cool.
Jelly of some of that.
>>14199430
Oh man that 1/100 Sword Strike was my first kit. How nostalgic.
Also had a crapload of gunpla mags
Is there a spot/store where I can buy MG parts? I'm looking to buy some MG ver ka weapons separately.
>>14199490
I wish.
>>14199370
Do you still have any G-Saviours? Id be down to buy one if you still do.
>>14199490
ebay maybe?
>>14199490
A long time ago, I got a pair of extra antiship swords for the PG strike by writing an email to Bandai (or was it HLJ?) and asking if they had the specific parts in stock. Since Dalong scans the manuals it shouldn't be too hard to find the parts you need.
Though it might be wise not to get too greedy, they'll probably frown at you if you ask for 500 Sinanju bazookas.
>>14199503
Looked there and even found one, but the guy ran out in supply to build a whole beam magnum.
>>14199505
Heh, nah. I'm just looking to buy a single Beam Magnum from the Unicorn Ver. Ka kit and (with the idea popping up in my head) MG Gouf heat sword and shield.
>>14199424
I'm the guy that was asking about the Pale Rider, I don't want to spam your inbox because I'm sure you're getting plenty of emailsalthough probably less than you were during christmas
Is that a good number for kits, or are you looking for people to get larger numbers like 10+ before you entertain them?
Finally "finished" this guy. So how badly did I fuck up this model?
Idk why, but I'm not really feeling the boots. Maybe if I went pure black, or black instead of the bright red?
On a side note, if I dull coat the clear parts of the Unicorn Destroy mode, will that ruin the effect with fogginess?
>>14199627
I think it turned out really damn good honestly. Silver paint on the axe could have been a bit cleaner, but hey everything else looks really damn solid.
>>14199627
THIN YOUR FUCKING PAINTS but I like it.Try posing it in a Char Kick?
>>14199627
I think it looks fine, but if I changed anything it would be to make the ankle armor the lighter red too
>>14199418
do it, HG G-Saviour is pretty much the best engineered HG of the 90s.
>>14198928
Just shot you an email a few minutes ago.
>>14198928
I sent a couple. I hope you ship to Singapore.
>>14198928
Sent an email your way!
>>14199639
The axe I haven't sprayed yet, I'm still cleaning up the silver.
>>14199645
Here you go. And I'll have you know I did thin my paints, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! It's a practice I've kept since /tg/ ingrained it into my brain.
>>14199648
What part of the ankles? You mean the side bits? again, I was just following the color separation the kit had, and just made light red for the light blue parts, and dark red for the dark blue parts. The feet just feel off entirely to me for some reason?
question: how ould one go designing a custom suit? Where would you start designing it? Or if you already knew what you wanted, is there some good line art to mix and match to make it easier to see how it looks?
>>14199718
Well how could you mix and match lineart to make a custom suit?
Surely you don't mean just jamming a bunch of parts together. That's just what they called customs to sell extra build fighters kits.
>>14199718
Read the OP, use Dalong, use imagination.
>>14198928
Holy shit a non-resin original production Primrose.
>>14199472
Wouldn't have things like astrays dragon beam head and sword would they?
>>14199718
>>14199735
>>14199754
You can use this page for lineart and color them with your preferred program. Photoshop works fine for mixing and matching.

>>14199688
Hey namefag seam weld the legs and gun. And also the gun still has mins, as do the grey portions of the backpack thrusters. Some of the red paint on the leg that is kicking seems to have chipped off right under that fin on the skirt.
>>14199823
Literally in the OP
I'm excited, but also a little disappointed. I was dead set on my first MG being a Jesta, Z'gok, or anything besides those boriing Gundams. Somehow I decided to get two Gundam instead.
>>14198928
I sent you a few names fampai. Thank you.
gonna buy my 10th and I want it to be in a diferrent series
Which one should I get? One that is close to Bandai's quality
>>14198719
>as fuck
>>14198890
>what is sarcasm
>>14199844
The MG Buster is great, a mostly solid kit. Trim the ball joints on the cannon arms though, the default fit has been super tight on the three kits I've seen built (including my own) and on one occasion caused the pegs to snap.
>>14199844
Would the ground gundam/EZ8 really count as a true gundam though? It's not a single off shoot prototype with immense power. It's also mass produced.
>>14199917
But Ez8 is a single off shoot with (slightly) greater power. Ground Gundams are Gundams, although they're literally worse than GMs. Victories and F91s were mass-produced so that can't exclude them.
>>14199937
>literally worse than GMs
Are they, though?
In the extras Karen took a cannon shot square to the chest and was back in action shortly after. They even explicitly comment on how tough their armor is.
>>14199917
Isn't the Ez8 just a repaired Ground Gundam
>>14199958
The armor is all. Just look at their acceleration stats. They'd never be able to pull off an assisted jump like the Gundam or GMs and as shown in the show they're not particularly mobile, whereas the GM is almost as good as the Gundam pre-MC coating
>>14199958
They have luna titanium thanks to being made from leftover project V parts. In all other aspects they are supposed to be lower performance due to needing to use limiters to make their random project V parts work together properly while the ground GM benefited from newly built parts designed to work together without the limiters.
When Shiro's ground gundam was repaired into EZ-8 it actually got a small performance upgrade thanks to incorporating some spare GM parts.

GMs are better in literally every other way. Mobility, flight, generator power, beam weapons (which make armor basically useless). I'm talking real GMs, not Early Types or [G]s, although I think those are refined in different ways they aren't as good.
what if there was kankolle
but it was zeek aqua ms

>>14197990
What triggers me about this is that it looks blatantly like their strike mold. Sure, the Strike Noir is an upgrade of the original Strike but it looks different in some areas. The chest and random parts such as the ankle armor look totally off
>>14199430
If you're selling some old 1/100 NGs then I might be interested
>>14199455
Is it yours? If so, how much did it run you? Is there a list of what you obtained?
>>14199430
Jesus Christ, how much did that cost you? 5 grand?
What are some good beam saber melee kits that are not from 00 Gundam?
>>14200300
for beam sabers maybe the GM Striker or GM Semi Striker?
for solid blades def the Sword Strike and Strike Noir, or that IBO kit, the Astaroth, with the massive sword that's coming out soon

Painting my first Gunpla soon, but I can't decide on the colour scheme. All white, all desert tan, or just the green parts in tan.
>>14200467
Hot pink for white, purple for green.

so is 400 grit sand paper fine if I cut as much as the nub I can. can't find any 1000 in my area. I asked this in /toy/. but wanted to here what you guys thought.
>>14200793
if you want scratches everywhere, maybe
1000 can even be a bit over abrasive sometimes
I like 1500 and 2000
Have you already tried an auto store?
>>14200804
I'll check there next
>>14200816
I'd be surprised if you didn't find it there honestly, I've found 4000 grit sandpaper there.
I mean, absolute worst case scenario order online?
It's here!
Speaking of sandpaper, what grits do you use to sand 2 part epoxy putty?
>>14200844
I've been to hardware stores. the place I got my hobby knife set. I had them special order my sheers. I have my panel lining pens in the mail. but the fucking sand paper is killing me.
>>14200793
400 is only to mill away anything above the plastic line very, very gingerly; from there it's a smoothing process with higher grits. I suggest 1000 to smooth, 1500-2000 (possibly a coffee filter after that if you're autistic about scratches) to buff scratches out.

The Graze is slightly taller than the 1/144 Sazabi.
>>14199891
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I had a near-disaster with my the Test-Dom I just finished, so I welcome any advice that'll keep me from destroying any parts
>>14199917
I actually had no idea. That series was next on my watch list, but I really liked the design.
>>14200991
I have a PG Unicorn and Banshee, will the pussy I get be Chara Soon levels of mad?

the only thing was either mad pussy or ordinary pussy get.
at least still better than no pussy get.

Why aren't arms on legs more of a thing?
>>14201210
>>14201210
Well, the Clan Nova had the arms mounted on the legs, which were mounted to the body. It couldn't torso twist, which was a big weakness.
Does anyone have lineart for the Sinanju Stein? The Fabgeese gave me an idea of how to paint one.
>>14201238
Just remember, dont use florescent paint. That shit is the worst. I'm actually thinking about throwing that fucker back in the box and forgetting it in a closet.
>>14201290
That's cruel, dude. Just think of the Fabgeese as your baby, just with jaundice.Really gay-ass jaundice.
>>14201290
I think you should be proud of it. I'll heed your advice about the fluorescent paint, though.
>>14201290
I thought the whole point of the fabgeese was to look awful.
Just tried out doing a panel wash on some spare pieces, I either ended up removing a bit too much of it or a little too much stayed on. Should I just lower my expectations on getting a perfect result or just get more patience?
>>14201326
The point of it was to look like a very flamboyantly gay/girly tallgeese. But it turned out looking like a cross dressing back ally whore.
>>14201348
patience. I just found out the other day that i needed to let it dry for a bit BEFORE wiping away the excess paint.
>>14201353
dem thighs doe
>>14201353
The sudden change in color makes it look like it got its legs chopped off.
>>14201381
The idea was that it was supposed to look like blue knee high boots.
>>14201392
Well, against the backdrop, it looks like they got chopped off, at a glance. Maybe paint some cute bowties and ribbons on them?
>>14201392
My attempt at boots last year; a custom based on GX Maria from Symphogear.
The legs came from from Reborns Gundam. I added the line stickers on the thighs hoping that they would resemble garters, but they don't stand out enough to do so.
>>14201443
Mind posting a full shot of it?
>>14201353
You just need to take the next step
>>14201450
Here.
The Blue Frame's Tactical Arms had the gatling removed, and replaced with the prongs from Transient's spear thingy (so now it's a four-bladed weapon).
>>14201353
I mean you picked out the paint color
how were you possibly surprised by the outcome either way
>>14201475
The gap between the blades is quite disappointing, but it can separate cleanly to resemble Maria's Horizon Spear blast.
>>14201224
Speaking of Battletech, if by some miracle of licensing shenanigans and lunar alignments, I wish Bandai would do a model line of revised BT designs.
Mostly because I want an MG centurion full of articulation and effects parts gimmicks.
>>14201477
its not the colors, its the paint. The fluorescent paint makes the shading look all fcuked up, and its globby as fuck. It would have looked much better if i used a flat.
>>14201353
Fuck it, I'm going to make my own fabgeese except better
>>14201491
what brand etc paint is it
>>14201475
>>14201484
Probably the best executed symphogear custom I've seen. Nice job.

>inb4 fabgeese anon indirectly sparks a new Fab trend in /gpg/
And I think we're all autistic enough to do it, too. I'm looking forward to a Fabgraze, to be honest.
Have any of you guys submitted anything to any competitions?
If so, share tips, pics and stories.

> New Group Build: Gundam Rave

>>14201521
It can all be traced back to the fabdom. At least thats what made me wanna do the fabgeese. I AM going to try another fab build at some point, but with NOT florescent paint, and after iv'e had some practice.
>>14201521
What is the Ryusei-go?
