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.

I have 5 sets of the campaign A parts, if anyone wants a set let me know. Preferably I's like to trade for a D set or two but if not whatever.

>>13957520
Oh God yes
I was thinking of getting the MG Turn A to celebrate finishing the anime (holy shit that ending)
but at the same time MG 00 Raiser is on sale for $50 after shipping.
i'd get the Turn X over all but its like $70+ holy shit

Fucking kill yourself for even considering this

You already made that "contribution" in the previous thread in this post >>13955302 only now, one more shitty action shitty action figure has been added to the picture. Here's some helpful advice, you should post your pics on /toy/ since they will be really nice about your "contributions" and not delete them right away, you know, since they are a hugbox and all. Or go read a book, it's up to you really.

HMM kits worth getting?
Tried combining all three fighter components on the MG V-Dash. Only 4 small parts had to be removed.
I think it turned out better than I expected.
>>13957921
Looks like a Chinese Bootleg White Base.
>>13957921
Neat.
>>13957921
It really isn't hard to do better than this though.
I'd be a lot more forgiving of the MG Victory's horrible fragility and lack of poseability if the transformation was actually meaningful, but it doesn't do anything. It's my least favorite transforming MG by far.
Does anyone have the Crossbone X1 and X1 Full Cloth GBF? I wanted to know if the Full Cloths flared neck piece fits on the X1
>>13957520
wish they were less lazy, I know its meant to be a designated unit based solely off its appearance in the ova. But they could have given it some weapons meant solely for its unit especially when I doubt theyed release a revive of it so soon. Like the 105mm mg, knuckle shield, single shot zaku bazooka, double bazooka etc. I mean you can get the mg, rifle and zooka it has with any other released origin kit as is.
>>13958060
Why are you expecting Bandai to make any sort of effort?
Im geting a great time with this kit, re1/100 are not bad if you trow a little paint....im doing a mix of airbrush and hand brush and trow all the mg wing gundams ew stickers i have (they are not that bad if you use top coat)

Jesus fucking Christ that's like 100 dollars and I've only used SAL.
>>13958228
yeah nips get you no matter what you do
easy $15-18 just for them to throw it on a boat and say fuck you if its lost
>>13958228
>100 over a few months
poorfag alert
>>13958224
Really have reading comprehension problems I take it? Its implied that I rather get the weapons designated for the zaku 1 like the g3 gas launcher or 105mm mg. Instead of some reprints that both chars and high mo come with. Aka replace one with the other not have all.
FFS I have so many standard zaku 2 bazookas and mgs and thats from suits way before origin was announced as a ova.

Ordered my X Maoh, Fenice and Dark Matter yesterday, looking forward to them coming in the next few weeks.
I don't know if I'll get any more BF kits after them (since I currently have SBS, Build and Try Building, Portent and Transient).
I might get the Cathedral, but I'm not too sure yet.

>>13958448
I just ordered my Fenice a few days ago. When I get more money I plan to get the Nil's Astray and Fenice R MGs as well as Transient because those weapons are damn cool.
Maybe edgy Exia but I'm not to keen on it.
>>13957405
talking about MG Jesta, is the waist rigid? review in Dalong, it was pretty cool for the articulation but seems no actual info about waist. (no, not the 180 turn stuff)
i would buy that because tactical MS if the waist articulation is within satisfactory, but i still not complete my the other 2 MG yet.
>>13958448
*Build and Try Burning
That's the second time I've done that.
>>13958453
I'm gonna be honest with you pal, I'm not that keen on UC or UC based kits.
Though, I MAY get the Vrabe, because it actually looks pretty good.
>>13958470
>I'm not that keen on UC
What UC stuff have you actually watched all the way through?
>>13958509
MSG
Zeta
ZZ
CCA
Unicorn
Plus all the side stuff like 8th Team, War in the Pocket and Stardust.
I haven't done late UC stuff yet.

Tiny daily haul
Even comes with a PSO2 disc and code for this armour in game.
Checked the box and some parts have details pre painted in the sprues which is a nice touch.
>>13958462
It's fine. The weight of the beam rifle won't make it flop forward or anything.
>>13958580
so you mean the waist can tilt sideways as well?
or that because the waist only consist the ball joint? like the old version strike instead of the remake version?
>>13958435
Good luck ANT, looking forward to this
Has there been any news of MG V2 Assault and Buster packs? If not, does anybody know if the old HG packs actually fit the MG?

Why am i not suprised
>>13958964
Yeah, I don't like Hi-Nu's funnel wings so the Amazing Levs are way better personally.
>>13959006
>>13958964
They are prettyamazing. Worth colour-matching/painting and makes the kit really damn fun to play with.

Explain. I'm not smoking or vaping myself, but I have some friends who do. Seems like a normal thing, why all the hate?
>>13959208
I don't know if it would be to your tastes, but a grey could be pretty nice.
>>13959261
This.
Underslung guns are great.
>>13959327
It's a pretty low rate thing to do. You're basically still the same addict, you just don't smell like an ashtray. If you're just using that flavored water vapor, just get som incense, and stop looking like a moron with a giant box. I don't smoke with any regularity, but a cigarette can at least look cool if you affect it right. Just smoke pipe tobacco infrequently if you really want some nicotine every now and then. The hassle will probably help keep you from it if you have any self-control.
someday i will make a custom but which on? this one
>>13959358

This one.
>>13959364
>>13959358
or this one?
>>13959261
>>13959328
Will undersling it then. As for colors, do you mean dark or light grey? I'll try and work on lineart but the annoying thing is there's no lineart for the Full Armor 7th Gundam so I can't photoshop the backpack in.
A white primary color might be neat, white Jegans that look like Patlabor mecha tend to be cool.
>>13959364
Can't get better than this.
>>13959389
No, wait, add some gold accents and it'll be perfect.

yeah maybe gold

A bit too much blue.
Ok, I know, READ THE GUIDE, I did. It didn't answer my questions. I never bought anything on the internet in my life. So, I know I need some international card, like visa or something, that's obvious enough. And let's say I picked amiami to buy something. How/where can I see if they will/can ship what I puchased to my backwater shithole(belarus)? How can I track it? How can I know they're not tricking poor and stupid me? GPG, you're my only hope.
By the way, where's lineart thread ?
>>13959468
There's two main types of shipping that most major sites use for international shipping: SAL and EMS. They both ship to Belarus but have a few differences.
SAL is the cheaper option, but you won't be able to track it. It'll also take longer to arrive than EMS (For an American the difference between EMS and SAL is like 5 days vs two-three weeks).
EMS is the more expensive option, but it has tracking and is fast.
Hobbylink Japan also uses DHL for shipping stuff out, so if you have experience with them then you should be fine.
>>13959509
Thanks.
>>13959353
>just get some incense
Easier said than done when you spend half your day in an office. Try explaining why you're lighting scented candles to your boss. Yes you are the same addict, but one doesn't cost you £40 a week or fuck up your lungs and give you yellow teeth. I used to smoke 10 to 15 a day but found that smoking flavoured liquids could easily give me the same hit for a third of the price.

Kshatriya: Tom Edition
Hey /m/, I'm fairly new to gunpla and I'm from /toy/
have a question.
I've never painted my kits at all before but I want to start getting into it. I picked up a himock to mess around with a battle damage.
So far all I've done is gloss coat then oil wash.
Once it dries do I need to give it another gloss coat? I was going to give it a dull coat and then move on to dry brushing and using the tamiya weather master.
Any help is appreciated
Burrito's NOT A GUNDAM looks sharp, but the kit itself really shows its age:
- the plast itself is... raw and brittle, you get white stress marks on some surfaces by merely putting the pieces together-
- seamlines everywhere, the ones on top of the shoulders are bad, but the ones in the thighs, knees and backpack will be atrocious
- limited range of movement, no more than 90° in the elbows and knees
- while color separation is pretty great, some details still need paint, like those white cheeks on the face or the vents at the sides of the head
- the head cameras even include the green detail, but it looks a bit dull, a leftover of a foil sticker is recommended to make it shine
>>13959742

I always liked the Mk II despite being the shittiest Hucky out of the 3
>>13959742

fuck
Anyone here have the HG AGE-3 Normal kit?
How is it?
>>13959804
It's a pretty good kit. Good articulation, comes with a stand, and it's pretty solid. You'll have to fiddle a bit with the SigMaxiss rifle because you just slide it onto the hand (unlike kits like the Graze which secures the rifle onto a piece of wrist armor or something), and it does need a partsform for the G-Ceptor, but you can just pop off the core fighter and fly it around without anything else.
I think it looks pretty neat, but it's a close second to the Orbital.
>>13959583
Actually vaping does major damage to the lungs. It gives you some disease where you get popcorn lungs. Read a book.
>>13959862
Nice. I like how it looks (and I've got a thing for big underslung guns) so I might pick it up at some point.
I wanna paint for the first time
I just want to get a simple GM and paint the red parts Blue and maybe put some stickers on. What paint should I use and how?
>>13959909
You should useread the guide
>>13959874
Nah, you don't know what you're talking about, vaping is super safe brah, quit being a hater.
>>13959877
also a neat thing about the SigMaxiss rifle is that if the kit has enough shoulder room, it can use it as a "normal" gun.
>>13959813
gotta build fast
>>13959909

you spray it

>>13959941
Snapfit, I don't mind you. You're building for fun, and that's OK. But please, don't spam our threads with your builds. If you're not going to put any work into it, don't post it.
Would regular plastic spray paint work fine for painting gunpla? What are some tips?
>>13959978
A very good tip isread the guide already you fuck
>>13959989
the guide is shit and full of misinformation
if you need a tutorial on how to operate a spray can just kill yourself now
Fuck people and fuck public transport.
I was looking forward to spending this Saturday painting Zaki II and Powered GM after working all week, but some douche sneezed on me giving me a cold which sprung up last night.
I also need to repaint a fuzzy bazooka but the sanding block I bought it too coarse, since I used Vallejo poly primer am I better off just soaking and scrubbing the lot with a scourer/steel wool?
>>13960078
Dumb frogposter.
Maybe it's a really dumb idea, but can I mix glue into acrylics to help them stick better to the plastic?
>>13960085
It's the shitposter whowants us to move to his hug-box on /toy/.
>>13960088
definitely a dumb idea, no. acrylics are plastic
>>13960088
>glue into acrylics
what's wrong with putting a layer of primer onto the plastic before painting with the acrylics?
How is the Build Gundam Mk. II MG? It's design really grew on me.
So there's often talk of how a kit totally fucked up a design. "Such a great design, too bad the kit is ass" and whatever, but are there kits that improve on the design?
I really hated the Kimaris Trooper but now after seeing pics for the HG I'm liking it.
>>13959874
>it gives you 'some disease'
Really fucking technical there doc. Where's your practice cockmongler?
>popcorn lungs
One guy got that because he had a shit mod that was spitting. If you can't vape right you shouldn't be doing it at all.
>>13960206
I consider the Kimaris Trooper an improvement on the original
I still find it's head weird and his weapon a bit too big
>>13960212
Yeah brah, gotta make sure to spin your own coils, mix your own juices, and keep your cotton wet, ya know
>>13960222
Or you know, set your mod to the operational range of the atomizer you're using and not try to be a fucking showoff with a 200w kanger box.
>>13960231
Why vape if not to be a showoffy cunt? Do you just do it because you like nicotine?
>>13959327
Because it's gaining popularity and this board is full of "muh sekret club" special snowflake hipster trash.
>>13959353
Don't forget to tip your fedora while you're looking cool smoking a cigarette oe especially a pipe fucking LOL what are you? Feom the 1940s??
>>13960244
Yes, but thanks for falling under the stigma of people who think there's no reason for vaping other than to look cool and missing the core fucking purpose of the product. Fuck off you goddamned cretin.
>>13959353
>don't vape because it's gay, smoke cigarettes because it's cool
Dumbest fucking post I've ever seen on 4chan.
>>13960212
I don't vape. I don't see the point of vaping it's just something to get addicted to that you don't need.
I'm betting you're in your early twenties if you think vaping is cool.
Also you're a faggot.
>>13960276
Recognize that while you might be using vapes to quit cigarettes or just get a less cancerous fix you are in the minority of vapers right now, most of them just want to rip fat clouds breh

>Implying vaping offers any kind of valuable experience.
>>13960303
True some vapers are incessant on covering their company in smoke and going 'check out my sick mod bro' and trying to one up anyone smoking a cigarette but by the same margin the anti-vape shitposters are equally as much of a bunch of cunts. If someone enjoys something because it's therapeutic there's no need to shove it in their face about how they're wrong for making that choice and spreading a prejudice, that's just unnecessary.
>>13960343
>Implying vaping offers any kind of valuable experience.
It calms me down during a stressful day at work and I get to taste delicious flavours all the time like ice cream sundae or caramel+tobacco. Pray tell how is that not a 'valuable experience' you insipid cunt?

>Implying someone whose idea of a good time is baiting anons on the internet is an authority on what makes a valuable experience
>>13960347
I'm a tobacco-smoking degenerate anyway so you should ignore me
I do think it's not a very good choice for someone who doesn't have any nicotine intake to start vaping though. Even if it isn't nearly as bad for you I wouldn't recommend adding another chemical dependence to one's life
>>13960360
>engaging in gratuitous hedonism
You're the vapid cunt.

>>13960365
Pretty much, I'd never recommend vaping to someone who doesn't smoke already but I'm more than happy to give a smoker the run down of what to look out for if they're thinking about an easy way to quit.
>>13960365
>Implying someone whose idea of a good time is baiting anons on the internet is an authority on what makes a valuable experience

Well there's the """new""" Thunderbolt kit.
>>13960465
I don't think there's a single monoeye MS I really care for.
>>13960438
You should lurk more. No seriously there was someone who posted a picture of his armored core kotobukiya kit, it was a quad leg, and it was on top of a pack of uno cards. So I asked him what he was doing with a pack of uno cards and he said he plays drunk uno with his friends. Laughter ensues. I told airbrush and he was like 'who does that?' Apparently a couple /m/ posters.
>>13960445
Well people who get into this sort of thing don't realize they're just playing into corporate pockets. They'll stop when they realize there's nothing 'cool' about it or how predictable(and typical) their attitude is.
>>13959983
In theory that's a good way to handle useless attention whoring tripfags but I honestly believe even if snapfit is ignored he will still continue to post since he just makes up replies to his own posts if he's ignored for too long and also his buttbuddy airbrush posts here too, so really we are stuck with him until he finally realizes that he's too lazy to git gud at this hobby and has wasted hundreds of dollars on poorly built chinese robots
>>13960493
>chinese robots
The only thing I have that is chinese is the moonlight butterfly effect parts. It's a knock-off. Also it came with a terrible, terrible action base knock-off that nothing sits in. They're not bad for like 16 bucks? That's less than half of the cheapest P-Bandai wings I could find.
Also that's not the action base it came with. It was white and fug.
>>13960244
You're fucking retarded son
>>13960476
I saw that a few days ago, got excited thinking it came with new parts or some kind of new gimmick, then almost flipped a table after realizing it's just a very very very slight recolor. Why must they torture us so?
>>13960483
I feel the same way. Don't get me wrong, I don't think monoeye designs are bad and a few of them are pretty damn nice, but they're just cramming so many down our throats and they won't stop. Is nobody else getting tired of all the monoeyes?
>>13960492
Oh wow.
You really do buy into the 'corporatism is evil' thing don't you?
Also, not him, but who gives a shit about two tripcunts sucking each other off? That's not how lurk moar works. Missing a small exchange in a thread is nothing.
Lurk moar would be not posting your shitty build a over and over again, or telling people lol it's totally cool that I don't clean off my nubs.
Lurkin moar would let you know you can be an uppity cunt without tripfagging, just like me.
>>13960465
Because GMs don't sell and Zakus do.
>>13960492
No man, I just think vaping and smoking(incl. marijuana) are for degenerates.

In the canon universe most of the mobile suits have mono-eyes until we reach F-91. That's MSG, Z, ZZ, CCA.
>>13960511
If more HG kits had monoeyes that weren't just stickers they'd be more tolerable

Snapshot had an autism fit over not having a social life so he thinks saying the go play drunk uno comment is an insult now

>You really do buy into the 'corporatism is evil' thing don't you?
No. The only people who benefit from vapors are corporations. Vapers get popcorn lungs and they get rich. Read a book.
>>13960523
>No man, I just think vaping and smoking(incl. marijuana) are for degenerates.
I agree in the current societal context. I do. There's very little reason to smoke unless you're already addicted.
>>13960511
Same, they just don't really speak to me. I don't mind them shitting em out though. I have muh 00 and SEED kits.I do mind that damm ReZEL being on backorder though.
>>13960506
Calling them chinese robots is a joke you fucking moron. Not even one directed at you to insult you. Lurk fucking moar

>There's very little reason to smoke unless you're already addicted.
Besides stress relief, unlike you some people work a job day in day out and don't leech off mommy and daddy to pay for their shoddily built kits. some people would prefer to have that instant relief when the going gets tough. You may come to know about life like that one day once you get off your lazy ass and apply yourself fuckface.
>>13960566
It's called,stop being a fucking pussy
>>13960573

You wouldn't have that much stress and difficulty controlling your hands if you hadn't become chemically addicted to cigarettes in the first place, you dumbass sheep.

What is so great about monoeyes that make people love them more than visor suits? I really just don't get it.
>>13960525
I get that it's the 'iconic Gundam series bad guy' look but still.
>>13960555
ReZel is a damn sexy robot anon, that I agree with.
>>13960566
lol this guy is so bitter and jaded its sad
What kind of Spray Can would you recommend for painting?
imma honestly lazy to get a air brush
>>13960651
What makes you think that? I'm perfectly happy doing what I do, I just hate overly opinionated pricks who feel the need to give their two cents like they're the social police who think that they should be allowed to control how everyone else act and that no one else can have a different opinion to them.
>>13960609
Or nicotine. He could be a vape-only guy.
>>13960648
The underarm guns are so cool though.
>>13960710
They sure are rad as hell, but one rad feature won't make up for the bastardization of the rest of it
>>13960649
>What is so great about monoeyes that make people love them more than visor suits? I really just don't get it.
A show's Gunpla line tends to be Gundam, "Zaku", and a Char's "Zaku" variant to start off with.
So you have the gundam which needs something to fight, which will be the Zaku and Char's Zaku to start off with. With the Char putting in a decent fight to make the Zaku look awesome.
Then you have the GM which really can't do much beside fight the Zakus or just get destroyed by the Char to show off his new suit.
>>13960710
So buy a Gaplant alongside the MK-II Gundam?
>>13960731
Well...... fuck. That's a pretty good point.
>>13960609
>never smoked tobacco
>have stress anyway
You lied to me.
Should i go with this one
>>13960838
Looks like its wearing a sweater and underwear
>>13960838
or this one?
Someone go to the IRC and just tell them what's fucking happening, Snapshit avatarfags enough that alone is worth a ban.
RG Exia or HG Astaroth?
>>13960838
I like this one more. My opinion is sorta biased though since I personally like lighter colors better than darker.
I rarely see gunpla painted in lighter colors, it's nice to see.
>>13960855
the exia's a good little kit
>>13960855
>Get both
>Kit bash
MG Tryon 3 when?
>>13960566
i smoked for 2 years in my early 20s to help deal with depression. eventually managed to quit smoking and replaced it with a caffine addiction.
regardless, im thinking about putting flashing red and blue LEDS where the guntank revives cannons should be, make them flash, idk. i picked up this 5$ koto MSG with the 3 pistols and they are all really neat, they have cool gimmicks.
>>13960943
Wrong pic. And I meant guncannon
>>13960943
Damn I really wish they'd make a guntank revive.
>>13960943
Is that really the synopses of Zoophila?
>>13957520
yee
>>13960954
That's a hell of a wrong pic anon
>>13960838
>>13960843
Paint it's arms and feet the lighter blue. Go for the "t-shirt" arm pattern on the dark blue design.
Airbrush users, mind lending a hand? Just starting.
-How much do you fill the cup when doing a layer (transferring thinned paint from a bottle to the airbrush cup)? I was going by ratio and doing test spoons, and using 10 drops of paint with X drops of thinner wasn't seeming to cut it I think.
-You should thin the paint more as you increase in layer count, right?
Confirm/give info on please.
>>13960999

What's the latest book you've read bud? Everebody Poops?
>>13959389
ANA Kshatriya looks tight.
>>13961188
I think the darker blue looks slightly better
so my brother took one of my kits and wanted to give it a try, he used the revive rx-78-2 and well, the result is kinda crap
>>13961227
>nicotine being addictive isn't an objective scientific fact
>>13961283
he replaced the blue and red with black, but it only shows how ugly the green hue they used in this model is
>>13961283
>>13961291
The paint doesn't look that bad. What did he use for it?
>>13961298
a rustoleum semi gloss black spray paint
he also tried to paint with actual white vallejo acrylics the torso and told me he was set to do the same for the limbs, but he gave up after scraping some bits
>>13961312
I'm assuming your brother doesn't have much, if any, experience with model kits, and it looks pretty good for a beginner.
My first kit was the same kit you gave to him, I was shit at it. Nub ridden and I even lost the head jewl and broke the knee joint.
>>13958561
Post pics when it's done, I wanna see what it looks like. And I'm curious what kind of scale it is.
You said it's pre painted a little, how well did they paint the eyes?

Stargazer was my first kit like forever ago, like maybe a decade or so ago. (Wow I'm feeling old.) I didn't de-nub I just tore the parts off the runner. The list of damages that was incured over the years leaves me feel so ashamed I'm getting another on (Ordered it, coming in the mail whenever the hell.)
My Strike noir was significantly better, I panel lined it and de-nubbed it properly.
I was thinking about getting the Kerberos BUcue, is it worth it? I'm always a little hesitant with weird not technically a Mobile Suit things like that.
>>13961283
>>13961291
While I like the WZC twin buster rifle pose, those legs are spread too far apart which seems kindalewd.
You might wanna move the legs a bit closer and forward into more of a 'braking' stance.
Wing Zero Custom MG or RG?
Dr. Henry Wu need not respond.
>>13961188
>>13961247
I agree
> dads coming to my house tomorrow
>he bought a gunpla
> he says they always make me happy so he wants to try
> he wants me to show him how to build them and shit
All these feels
>>13961461
RG. No, seriously, the RG. Better everything.
>>13961461
RG. The MG still looks nice but the RG beats it in almost every aspect(except size, face sculpt).
>>13961461
wait for the soon to come MG 2.0
>>13961469
That's sweet anon. Hope you two have fun.
Why are people arguing about nicotine and smoking in a GUNPLA thread?
I recently bought a Nemo and I wasn't really feeling it at first but now this little guy is really growing on me.
And yes, I will do panel lines and all that, just not tonight.
>>13961461
RG by fucking miles.
Only advantage the outdated MG has is size.
The RG has better gimmicks, articulation, design, parts separation etc.
I didn't even like the WZC, only got it with the promise of the other wingboys. Fucking Bandai.
But building the RG made me appreciate it more.
>>13961500
dammit why does 4chan mobile always rotate my picture

Alright then.
>>13961485
Is this happening anytime in the nearish future? I thought MG was supposedly kill?
I don't really have a problem waiting but if I decide to get it at some point I know what to do.

I have no strong opinion on the suit so I can't say he has shit taste, although I don't especially dig the color scheme. Oh well gunpla is freedom xD.Havefun
I fucked up denubbing the rail guns.
Also the rail gun stickers trigger my autism
Tomorrow I'll star panel lining and airbrushing
>>13961433

The Nemo's quality surprised me and was a lot of fun to make. Definitely a good buy.
>>13961528
He doesn't know anything about them and it looked good to him
>>13961530
I don't really like the hip guns. I've got an RG in the mail, and I was wondering if there's a guide anywhere to convert it/cover up the connection joint.
Not a huge deal, but I prefer a slimmer waist.
>>13961530
Ayy, another HG Freedom. My intro to gunpla.
>>13961539
You're the one that keeps egging it on, fuckwit.
>get email notification for berserker mode nobell on manda
>already sold out for both listings
FUCK
it's the only HGFC kit I'm missing now. I still do need the original shuffle alliance kits (outside of god, shining, and master since they have better releases) and the hyper mode dragon. What gay shit.
>>13961553
How so? I called out how bullshit it was, not incite further discussion about the subject, fuckwit.
>>13962186
By calling it out you're inciting further discussion. The only way to not do so is to not even acknowledge it.
Nemo looks pretty slick in Titans colours, now I just need to figure out the ratios to make the correct shades.
I think I'll do a Marasai in AEUG green sometime.
>That feel when a fuck up paint turns out better than the intended paint
Also, I'm using Testors gold and it never seems to have a glossy finish, always a rough sand like finish. Is this just the nature of Testors gold jars or am I somehow doing something wrong with this specific paint?
