Just finished my first custom build. Comments/critiques?
>>5319458
>Rear view
>>5319475
Dude's asian, his mom and aunt probably run a nail salon/massage parlor.
>>5319475
Huh, didn't even notice that when I originally uploaded, honestly. I'm so used to having it on that side of my desk that I completely forgot about it.
>>5319458
- Airborne gunk/paint clots everywhere. On the left shoulder pad, on the left thigh, and on the left ankle. Nuke it from orbit.
- The upper side of his shield is driving my OCD up the wall. Can't tell if it's just paint sludge or a paint+nub mark combo. Sand that shit like there is no tomorrow.
- Some seam lines are okay, although the ones on his legs make me think of the Mariana Trench. Mask that shit. It isn't hard. If you don't know how, look it up on JewTube.
And for the love of God, hide your personal stuff when taking a photo.
>>5319489
actually you should use that mirror to take better pictures of your gunpla.
Redirect the lights to your model, yo.
Anyone else like to toss in a small extra thing with their SS? Like an AK figure or stand or something similar?
>>5319532
If I had substantial extras I would. I'm just making a funny card related to their pick and some candy.
I posted this on /m/'s /gpg/, I figure someone here might be interested in it.
>>5319546
I get tons of Japanese candy for christmas every year, I pass some of it along in my SS every year.
>>5319553
That's cool. Oh, and the "Lets mix crushed peppermint bits into fucking everything" candy is just as awful as those fruit canes.
>>5319547
The Zaku looks fun, but those knee joints... eh. I can tell they'll need to be glued already.
>go to nakano mandarake looking for jesta cannon
>not there whatever head home
>check site at home its at nakano now
Fucking reeeeee
Ordered this fella the other day. Really liking the designs of the CBO series. They're finally making original designs that aren't derivative of RX-78 ot Zaku.
>>5319598
Did you miss like 80% of the g-reco designs?
I think it's even the same mech designer.
>>5319602
Yeah but I really like this one. I'm not a watcher of anime, I just build the models.
>>5319602
Ippei Gyobu(Grimoire, Montero, Gastima, Gaeon) designed the Man Rodi, Gusion, and Kimaris.
>>5319606
Well I'm the same here.
>tfw rain
I just wanted to paint an action base with a color I don't need. (Mr color copper, it's a little light in tone.)
Good thing I have the MG jesta to build.
Why is it so nice?
>>5319568
That's a custom from 2002
>>5319632
Jestas a cool, ain't nothin more to it than that.
>>5319632
I asked my friend to buy me an MG Jesta while she was in Japan.
Should be shipping anyday, Im hyped.
post your HG nevers
>>5319944
i don't have the time to put all of the Shuffle Alliance and the rest of the Wing Gundams into one picture
>>5319944
I think this might have a chance of getting an RE/100 release some time down in the future. They can just reuse joint parts from the GP04. But yes I agree this suit needs a kit regardless of scale.
>>5320012
what are they
>>5320021
Shitposter from /m/ just spamming random gunpla images again.
Got some stands.
Maybe you guys remember me, i ordered my first 2 kits a while ago.
I build this Guntank within the last hour and now i was about to start priming it.
But the box and the instructions only give me one variant of painting it: plain gray, which looks utterly boring.
Are there alternative paint (or camo) schemes for that particular model somewhere?
Besides, are all Gunpla kits as easy and good to build as this? The fit of the parts is great and it almost fell together.
>>5320037
bandai models are entry-level. Even a 12 years old japanese kid should be able to build them without any struggle.
And yes, there is only one "official" color for early type guntank but it doesn't stop you from experimenting new schemes.
![1346703041233[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/9o6VDzp.jpg "1346703041233[1].jpg")
>>5320037
You could do blue like the original manga version lineart (It's grey in the series itself though). Although yeah, Origin guntank doesn't have a lot of color variants. Just make up your own if you want something other than what's provided, that's half the fun of gunpla since it's so easy to work with as models.
>>5320093
Thanks for the pic.
>comes with the Barbatos
Well, I guess I'll use it for a custom. The transport itself looks cool though, could use some painting though.
Heads up guys, Secret Secret Santa Pairs are going out!
>>5320142
I'd be down to get one if the price wasn't artificially inflated ten bucks by tossing in a Barbatos. I get that they can't really sell it by itself, but still. My inner shekelmeister doesn't approve.
>>5320142
>literally GN-Arms all over again
At least Exia had red rubber parts and Dynames had the pistols. This one just includes another gun?
>>5319944
Pairs are pretty much done. If you haven't received one yet and you signed up, check your other email accounts because there's like a 20% chance I need more information from you.
Some crossover here from the Transformers threads, since I figure you guys might know better: Those Bandai Tamashii Nation's stands, will those work well with Voyager (usually 7-8 inches tall or so) or Deluxe (around 5-6 inches) Transformers? Are they stable? Mostly looking for something to help display the jet/helicopter/various flying Transformers, and these stands looked like they might do it, and I know a lot of the Gundam kits come in various sizes and have similar "chunky" body styles.
>>5320263
Yeah, the Tamashii stands are pretty good. For Transformers, check out the trident, but you might want to look at the action base 1 since it's mean't for MGs, which are a similar height.
>>5319598
That's pretty derivative anon
>Go to hobby shop a bit out of my way that I haven't gone to in like 2 years for reason's I can't remember
>See this
>Remember why I don't go there normally
I mean really? Trying to sell a free promotional item?
>>5320221
Anime correct katana is included. Apparently the one the hg came with was based on some earlier lineart and is missing the guard on it. The booster is also compatable with graze kai.
>Get my Secret Santa partner today
>He's Canadian
Canadabros can you help an American out on where to buy Gunpla from without having the shipping be rape and/or the order coming in January?
>>5320312
Hobbywave has flatrate shipping to US and Canada, good luck finding anything in stock though
>>5320312
I mostly buy from the usual japan sites, HLJ/amiami/HobbySearch and for a couple of HG boxes its usually 1k to 1.5k yen for SAL, it consistently arrives in a couple of weeks
Depends where in Canada though
>>5320268
Is that the full name of them? Action Base 1?
>>5320336
Yeah.
>>5320346
Looking up the action bases...Do they only come with those weird trident things? I don't think any Transformer would sit on that, like, they don't really have plugs in their butts/sides/back/etc for something that shape. Are there versions with those waist hugging/holding claws like the Tamashii stuff?
>>5320353
Nope, might want to grab the tamashii trident then.
>>5320279
Why is the one in front holding an electric "Caution: Wet Floor" sign?
Dear Hawaiian anon, if you're sending Hawaiian candy with yours then I'm sending you Old Bay seasoning with mine.
>>5320360
Alright. Guessing something like "Bandai Tamashii Nations Act.5 for Mechanics Clear Action Figure" is probably my best shot, they seem to be the biggest(?) sized ones?
>>5320387
>Bandai Tamashii Nations Act.5 for Mechanic
Yeah that should work.
>Ordered for my SS pairing
Hope it arrives on time for you friend.
>>5320385
Define wrong
>>5320586
It can be used on pretty much anything, it's just primarily used on seafood, primarily steamed crabs. It's basically a mildly spicy, peppery seasoning powder.
But yeah, chicken is fine, old bay wings are a favorite bar food in MD.
Remember guys, order your SS's stuff ASAP. Not just so it gets there before Christmas but also because the further into December you wait, the more gunpla end up sold out and marked up. It happens every year.
this thing has a silly beam emitter but i like it
>>5320625
Sillier than chin emitter?
>>5320657
Don't you be talking shit about precious sweet baby Dana-chan. I don't need DNA to curse you.
>>5320661
I called it silly, not shitty anon. I love sneaker dragon.
>>5320675
Good. MS Girl Danazine when?
>>5320300
You know if it's water decals at least it would be worth something.
What RGs do you guys like?
>>5320831
Regular Zephyrantes from 0083 is great. Just looks awesome and is great to build. I recommend finding some way to stiffen the center spine joint or it will tip to the side with the shield in its hand, and I found the gun a little too fragile during assembly, but it's awesome regardless.
>>5320601
Sounds good m8. I just ordered it and it says itll arrive by January, but most times for me it comes in a week or two earlier. So again sorry in advance if its a lil late
I haven't been watching IBO. But I love the look of this MS. Has it shown up in the anime yet? And if so, can someone post a screen? I need to see what it looks like in color.
>>5321054
Not yet, but it's pretty sexy. It should show up around the kit is released.
Okay, so what exactly are the SEED Remaster kits? I've never been clear on that.
>>5321086
Its like a reprint of the first hg kits with slightly better articulation or something
>>5321088
How can they improve stuff if it's a reprint?

>>5321109
Ordered. Can't show the order because that spoils what I got the anon.

Fucking hell so close to the deadline too
Status: Regretful
>>5321152
Something up, FK? At least comment with your pictures, thought you were that Snapfag that loves G-Reco for a sec there.
>>5321161
Nah sorry man just posting old pictures. I'll stop sorry ya'll.
>>5321162
It's alright. You been building anything special? I remember when the SS rolled around last year you mentioned not having much skill in painting, did you get better?
>>5321167
Nah I haven't done any of that. With my job sadly I haven't had any time to build a kit since about a year ago. Owning your own business kinds sucks.
>>5321109
Throwing everything in the cart now
>>5321109
Mine was vague and I can't decide on what to get him. There are too many options and I don't want to get him something he already has.
I'll have to take the leap and hope for the best.
>>5321109
Too paranoid to sign up.
You guys have fun though.
>>5321109
Status: I wish I had money for that.
>>5321054
My favorite Graze so far.
>>5321109
Got confirmation of purchase :/ and tomorrow gonna get the card and candy
>>5321250
Go with something at least semi mass-produced, at worst if he has it he has two of something it isn't silly to have two of in a display
>>5321250
Are you Snapfag-kun? That image reminds me of the reaction images he posts, sorry if you're not.
>>5321457
Sorry I'm not.
>tfw finally picked out something that might be decent
>have to pay twice what it's worth in shipping to make sure it arrives on time
Back to the hunt once more...
>>5321250
Grunts, it won't matter if he has another one.
>>5320383
Ayyyy fellow MD anon
>>5321539
Last I checked there's like 4-5 of us that browse this general.
>>5321109
Haven't got my email yet. I think I should probably email GelgoogGuy.
>>5321109
Ordered and sent. Should be arriving in just about a week. Though I can't say I've ever heard of the town before.
Crossposting this question:Are the blades on the Mineshima D-25 nippers thinner than the Tamiya 4123?
>>5321880
>ever heard of the town before
Did you try google mapping it?
CAN YOU FAGGOTS STOP SHITTING UP OUR THREADS
>>5321109
Sent, should got delivered to Savannah shortly.
>>5321886
That's not his point, smartass.
>>5321109
Ordered for my Tucson Zeek bro
>>5321109
Got some ideas for mine, might get to use my gp points finally
>>5321109
Going to wait to buy the kits until Wednesday when I check my local shop because my usual places to grab everything in one order are sold out at the moment of what my SS wants. If they don't have thrm I'll have to split it between several orders from different sites.
>>5322156
Outta curiosity, do you partake in the secret santa too or no?
>>5322210
I do when it's necessary to equalize things, like this year.
My partner bailed and now I'm stuck in the wait list. Guess no Christmas this year.
Long-time modeller, first-time Master-Grader here.
Are all MG kits this heartbreakingly perfect?
>>5322357
No.
>>5322362
Ah.
Well, despite it being the Double-X, it was less than $50 and exceeded my expectations.
>>5322372
Yeah Double-X is pretty new and generally well liked. The farther back you go the more disappoint MGs get.
>>5322372
Try building one from before 2007.
>>5321109
Have to wait until my local stores open up to call them and see if they will do gift orders. If not then I guess I'll do it through amazon.
>>5322357
The older MGs while still decent can't hold a candle to modern MGs.
Having said that, I'm working on the CA 1.5 78 and I like it so far aside from the elbows.
I can't justify the huge shipping price $41(!) for the Gundam Planet nippers alone. How good are Mineshima's D-25 nippers while I rot in the Godhand waiting list?
>>5322448
they are based.
>>5322448
you can get the gp nippers off Amazon for $35 flat with free shipping. possibly cheaper if you do some stuff
>>5322411
I remember seeing MG kits at cons back then, but I got burned after SEED gave the kits less flexibility than Al Gore, I avoided them for a bit.
>>5322482
They don't want to ship GP nippers to Canada. Ebay charges a bit higher than GP's retail price.
>>5322491
and for the shipping to canada thing i asked GP about it and they gave me "well thats what usps charges can't change it :("
>>5322495
Yeah, GP uses priority mail by default for some reason. I wonder how much FedEx or UPS would charge.
>>5322448
why not grab the newer tamiya side cutters #74123
So, would any of you smart, charming anons happen to know if the small size of Kaku hands would fit/scale with older cheap-ass NGs like the EW Wing and G Gundam kits?
>>5322499
why not stop being a tamiya shill?
>>5322571
Or you could buy a regular nippers and not some big brand name one
>>5322576
or you could stop being a voice of reason 'muh generic brand' shill
>>5322592
or you could stop shilling ridiculously overpriced nippers
>>5322555
Anyone?
>>5322006
Good to know!
non scale Shiranui progress
>>5322601
Not me bro. I just dont see why anybody would pay more than $20 for nippers when any kine can do the same as an mlg kawai ugusama nipper
>>5322633
You're forgetting that the nippers are made of superior Nipponese steel that has been folded over ten thousand times and can cut through even the strongest of plastics and resins.
>>5322640
I dont trust nippon shit steel since its inferior to steel forged everywhere else
Also
>almost 2016
>not forging your own nippers
>>5322644
>2015
>Letting Nippon steel fly over your head
FLORIDA BRO I GOT YOU 3 THANGS BE READY
>>5321250
I had the same problem. Not sure which of the 2 versions they wanted
Simple solution: They're getting both.
Plus some surprises from my backlog

>dat gouged arm
>not welding seams
>>5322655
For SS? Is it the one in [spoiler]Weston?[/spoiler]
>>5322716
Oh, right, no spoilers on /toy/. Why is that? Is it because people would hide hotglue pics or something?
I own GP nippers. They're pretty nice. But I'm fairly new to gunpla so I don't have anything to compare it to.
>>5322721
No not really. Theres no way to really spoil a toy release where as on /m/ or /v/ you can spoil a show or a game ending
I wish I could ask santa on an update on the gift coming for me so I don't miss it. But I feel like it's too early to ask. If it gets stuck in the post office because I didn't see it, it'll be a real pain
>>5322726
That makes more sense. Still, there's a usefulness to spoilers for joke reasons. Even if that isn't the intended use, it's used for that plenty.
To whomever ended up with me, appologies for the long list. It's a generic list of kits I want to obtain eventually. If you want me to shorten it, just let GG know.
>>5322741
uh....
>>5322735
Yea it sucks but i think it would trigger some autistic people or wed get alot of whats under your post
Kinda related how come mods dont permaban anymore? /mu/ finally did it with this korean shitposter but everywhere else they just say fuck it
>>5322762
Mods definitely still permaban. It's just easy as fuck to ban evade, especially on a phone that just randomly generates an IP if you're not on wifi and resets when you clear the cache. . Snapfag and Greg are ban evading.
>>5322762
They still do permaban but it doesn't really work that well when you can change your IP address. Hell, when I use my phone's mobile internet I have to occasionally toggle it a few times to bypass other peoples bans so I can post. (does it count as ban evading if it isn't your ban but your phone's network can use that IP?)
>>5322792
You could at least post pics of a guy getting double penned.
>>5322792
this is a sfw board. you'll be very lucky if no one reports you.

To my recipient: Be glad that my store is sold out for most of what your list, you get the most expensive item you wanted (the other shops I order from would charge almost the same amount for the cheaper stuff).
>>5322842
Theres websites that would dox, but its mostly internet white knights like "ill dox this website you think is scam cuz theyre evil"
I just wanna know the kids address is so i can either swat him or send him alot of pizza

Thanks for sending me the email last night, I've sent my package, which my recipient should receive early next week.
>>5322357
ever since the 2.0 kits started getting released MGs have gotten very good
>>5322873
My local store helped out with the order so it's now in the hands of the local posting system (I'm also pretty sure that it was their first Secret Santa/gift order)
>>5322907
le fucking ebin underrated post roffle xD
>>5320586
100% of free is still free.
>>5321054
Reminds me of a combination of Briareos from Appleseed, and that one bunny-looking "cop mech" from that one other anime. And a bit of G-NX thrown in, for good measure.
My friend posted this as a hint for one of my gunpla gifts for christmas. It's definitely some sort of sazabi right?
John from Ohio here. I hope my list wasn't too much for whoever recieved me.
>>5323131
Pretty sure the Sazabi Ver.Ka has square 'holes', so it could be the old one.
>>5323167
I see
He gave me another hint too
This looks like a jagd doga but apparently the yellow is an eye

Wow, might invest in a tamiya weathering kit
i kinda want to change it to gold...
hmmm
wat do
>>5323567
>paintbrush
>clear yellow
>non-ham hands
>>5323583
i have plenty of gold paint, just wondering if it'll look too tacky if all the details were gold.
suppose i could try with some lineart.
pardon the dust.
I don't want to learn how to paint. I have no passion for it and better uses of my time, and I really just want a nice-looking Z'gok, a Hygogg, an Acguy, and maybe a Zock to put on my shelves. Is it practical to hire someone to paint a model for me?
>>5323729
Just top-coat them after building and call it a day.
>>5323741
I admittedly do not know what that means.
>>5323747
>doesn't know what topcoating is
Holy shit. Literally how new?
>>5323747
Top coat cans are a way of making your models look good through matte.
You can however also choose to give them a glossy finish as well.
Pic related, one on the left is out of box snapfit
One on right is matte finish from top-coat can.
You said you don't like painting but what about small details on models that can't provide all the colours? Do you still use a paintbrush or gundam marker to fill in those details to make it show-accurate? It is really easy to paint small details, you can just use the markers themselves as well, however you may get more neat and precise paint with a small brush.
>>5323280
If that's not a jagd doga, I'll eat my fucking hat.
>>5323786
I would love to receive a dragon dildo. So yes.
>>5323765
At this point Im willing to accept that the kit in question just has the jagd doga somewhere on the box art, meaning its a CCA kit
>>5323762
>topcoat magically changes silver to trans-orange
neat
>>5323807
Oh, no the clear parts are masked because they produce a foggy effect or something like that.
>>5323807
no you dummy the orange parts were simply masked in the before shot
clear coat causes translucent pieces to fog up
>>5323280
It's the old Sazabi MG, Jagd Doga's just in the boxart
>>5323861
o shi
nice, it may appear that my friend got me that kit

>>5319447
i'm having a hard time deciding which MG to buy today, /toy/. i currently have The MG F91 (Harrison Martin), MG Zeta 2.0, RE Dijeh, and the whole SEED Aegis team MGs. help me decide:
A. MG FA Unicorn
B. MG The O
C. Hyaku Shiki 2.0 + Mega Bazooka Launcher
D. Aile Strike RM + RX-178 Mk II (2.0)
pic semi-unrelated, i've must finished the Zeta 2.0
>>5324264
Hyaku Shiki 2.0 + MkII 2.0
>>5324264
The O + Action Base, if your budget allows it.
shit yeah three-part displays
>>5324316
even SEED is marginally better in a three part display with giant, gaudy effect parts
>>5324316
Whoever thought beam V-fins was a good idea seriously needs to kill themselves
>>5324323
No worse than a round mobile suit covered in triangles.

Has the New Year campaign started yet for online retailers?
Rather, will I be getting the campaign cards if I order from HLJ/amiami/etc. right now? Usually HLJ has it on their front page that the campaign is happening, but I got the email from Gundam.info awhile ago and there seems to be nothing up.
>>5324411
Yeah, baby. GundamPlanet's even got it going.
>>5324411
I thought the campaign was region locked

I forgot to mention these will be full paint jobs so i'll probably be working on one for weeks
>>5324414
I feel cheated, neither my HLJ or Hobbywave shipment had a card in them
>>5324422
zeta, hyaku shiki and mkii just makes sense
>>5324414
Wait, really? Why isn't HLJ posting that on their front page? I wonder if GundamPlanet is just ahead of the game this year.
>tfw open kits I got for a present last year and they have a bunch of old campaign cards in them
;_;
>>5324418
Maybe, if you're in the middle of nowhere, South America. Canada here and I got cards in my old local store.
To the guy in Cali, enjoy your new pony dildo.
>>5324437
I'm jelly.
>>5324435
do u know wat regionlocked means lmao
>>5324435
Hlj is based in japan and the gundaminfo campaigns are for gaijin so they rarely get the cards.

I've literally never bought gunpla before. I read the guide and found out I would need to paint these puppies and really didn't want to devote the time, or especially the money to painting. I've also never liked painting or drawing. Ever since I was little, it's filled me with nothing but frustration at how bad I was at it.
>>5324550
what did you get that doesn't look color accurate to what you expected?
>>5324552
I haven't gotten anything yet, actually. My friend got a Gabthley and it definitely looks like something you would want to paint, and that kind of discouraged me as to whether I should actually get a gunpla or not, as I've always struggled with painting and drawing. You wouldn't think it, as I've got great hand-eye coordination, but I'm just no good at them and looking at my attempted work always fills me with disgust and self-loathing. Do you have a Z'gok? Does it look okay OoB?
FLORIDA BRO YOU GETTIN THREE THANGS ON THREE DIFFERENT DAYS THEY SHIPPED OUT THIS MORNING

If you don't want to paint, look at dalong's pics before buying.
Most gunpla does look pretty good without paint btw, its just a bit of paint makes them look even better.
NC bro I'll hopefully have it shipped tommorrow!

He's right tho. Just dive in and give it a try at worst you're out like 15 bucks.
Go get the revive Gundam and a grey fine point Gundam marker. Also read the guide.

It's the little things.

If the guy I want want to get into the hobby because he's a pussy ass faggot, let him. You won't be losing out.
But yeah. You gotta fuck shit up before you get good at it. I've been snapfagging for a while have since decided to start at least detailing / painting non color accurate parts and I've been enjoying it a lot more.
Still uncreative and shitty to come up with my own color schemes though.
>>5324717
The fuck, lousy phone autocorrect shit.
*doesn't want to get into...

>Still uncreative and shitty to come up with my own color schemes though.
I've used the Gundam Breaker 2 game for color scheme designs. Not 100% accurate but you can get an idea of what your parts will look like in each color.[spoiler]it's a pain in the ass if your kit is considered to be a rare one that you have to grind for[/spoiler]
Did my Secret Santa in Savannah get his package? Looked like it delivered.
>>5324717
I usually spend a week trying to think how to customize stuff
