Group Build
So, to reiterate, for this group build
Primary: white
Secondary: purple or pink (or both, fuck it)
Trim: gold
Due date: February 1st.
Email: [email protected]
Don't forget about the lineart in the OP.
>GM Ground Type hguc never
please, just fuck me up.
>>5363185
If you really really want one, modding the old hg with hguc ground gundam parts looks simple.
I bought Try Burning on a whim. It's pretty awesome, but it falls apart really really easily--especially at the ab crunch and the shoulders. Is there any way to make the balljoints...not pop out as easily?
>>5363246
Try burning it.
>>5363246
Coat them in something.
>>5363191
Damn. The old HG GM ground type was my first proper gunpla.
I remember excitedly rushing through the build. No paint except for small details.
Gave it a wash after a few years. Lol
>>5363191
For that matter, the Ground Gundam Ground War set comes with a pair of GM heads, making this that much easier.
>>5363246
but why? build burning did it first
kamiki burning did it best
Since it's long past Christmas, lets get an update on Secret Santas and what you got/didn't get.
Sorry Richmond BC bro, haven't gotten anything close of a package slip yet. Any updates?
>>5363360
Any of them will do, really. I've never tried Mr dissolved, but you could just use lacquer thinner and thin the putty anyway.
If I want a 0.2mm pencil, is pentel the only one who makes them? I don't want a pen/marker because I have commitment issues.
>>5363373
Just get a normal pencil and chisel the edge?

Remind me, is there gonna be a RE/100 Rick Dom?
>>5363585
We already have a MG Rick Dom.
>>5363585
No.
>>5363345
I don't know what to say man, I ordered it, I paid for it, it shipped but I haven't heard anything, tracking code just gives me that it was in Tokyo (bought on Amiami) on Dec 14 but nothing past that
>>5363585
Nope. But i hope there will be a Dowage,
>>5363485
Paint those power symbols at the very least.
>>5363485
Good posing there though. What bases are those?
>>5363485
Barbatos is so ugly.
>Watch Funeral Rites
>See inner frame of 1/100 Gasion
Think I'll have to wait till the 1/100 Kumeris (sp) is released but think all the Gundams in IBO have the same base inner frame? The Gasion has the same arms and legs but spaced out in an odd way to accommodate the kit.
Would explain how that mystery MS A HG kit that looks like a heavily armored flesh colored Gasion and Barbados spare part medley.
>>5363959
The Gundams are only Gundams in IBO because they use the same frame that has two reactors
>>5363959
Its the same frame with added frame parts around it. The gundams in IBO all share a frame.
Hawaii bro, got your package today. I can't wait to get started and was not expecting the hula girl. Thanks a bunch.
>>5363716
Well, at least it's in shipping. Hopefully It'll come next week or so
>>5364018
Youre welcome bro!
Wtf is up with the astrays are ugly? Some kind of new dank meme?
>>5363916
Apparently not as much as the Astray.
>>5364090
Some guy would post it whenever someone even mentioned an Astray and now he appears to be having some sort of aneurysm.
Ok I found out gundamplanet is like an hour away and they have Mr Color GX-100 and leveling thinner. GX-100 is pretty expensive for a 18ml topcoat, damn. What's the thinning ratio?
Also, has anyone tried Testors Glosscote that comes in a JAR? Not the rattlecan.
Painted my first gunpla today. I found out that I am a total spaz with the gundam marker. I wanted to give him a military look but he just ended up looking like a fucking egg. His equiptment is from one of the new IBO option sets.
>>5364127
Now try some real paint with a brush. It'll come out nicer than a marker when done right, and the work helps across all models since many don't come with the detail level Bandai kits do. Just be sure not use art store brands, get modeling paint, THIN YOUR PAINTS and test on practice spoons or parts.
>>5364199
Is anyone familiar with car models? I wanted to get one but I don't know which company makes the best ones, I've heard tamiya is good but not many are in stock on hlj.
You can do an enamel wash over a Future gloss coat right? I plan to do Future -> wash -> lacquer gloss seal -> decals -> lacquer gloss seal -> flat lacquer or acryl
>>5364235
Fujimi is quite consistently pretty good. Aoshima has their off days. Tamiya is the best one I've had to work with.
>>5364241
>You can do an enamel wash over a Future gloss coat right?
WRONG
this idea was too good for me not to do, and it turned out even better than I though
now all I need to do is figure out a colorscheme
Astrays aren't that bad...
>>5364109
Try decanting
>>5364280
I was looking at the Fushimi ones, I think I'm going to get the Fairlady 280Z-T or the TE27. I think car models will give good airbrush practice as well, bigger pieces so its easier to spray but they're also curved. I also want to get some practice on my high-gloss/shine finishes.
>>5364296
Fuck, where did you get the Gerbera Tetra? Is that the original?
>>5364295
Different anon and I had bought Future as a means to coat my model (weather sucks here so I figured this might be helpful) and then do washes. Can you please explain why?
>>5364352
Enamel will eat through Future.
>>5364356
Ah, because it's acrylic then. Well, can I use a lacquer spray -> wash with enamel -> coat with Future?
>>5364365
That should be fine
>>5364369
Thanks.
>>5364356
To further confuse things, here is a a relevant thread on FSM dealing with enamel washes over Future:
http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/tools_techniques_and_reference_materials/f/18/t/135647.aspx
From reading the posts, you can get some insight as to why some people DO use enamel over Future, and how it works for them. Good luck!
>>5364383
And here are some more:

http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/tools_techniques_and_reference_materials/f/13/t/142113.aspx
>>5364336
I'm pretty sure that's just the HGUC Gerbera Tetra
>>5364321
No there's a lacquer glosscote that comes in a 1-3/4 oz jar.
>>5364300
Reminds me of a praying mantis, so you should put some green on it, definitely.
Put the base color down, gonna add some more to the exposed foam then go at it with a lighter brown. Also my dad thought it was a cake. Also bought some aggus since i cant find the tiny dudes that came with the k9 pack.

>>5362544
THIS IS MY RESOLVE. THIS IS MY GUNPURA!
Also, why are the flash marks on the RG joint parts so obnoxious to get rid of?
>>5364707
Something about that plastic formula.
Are there any paint on top coats or primers I can use for gunpla? I don't like rattle cans and I can't spray them or use an airbrush where I currently live.
>>5364736
Honestly, bandai kits are top tier for complete causal plebs like myself, who just enjoy the build process more than the painting/customizing part.
They look good OOB with minimal effort.
>>5364727
Citadal 'ardcoat might work for you.
Is the New Years 2016 Campaign over? The card with my code says it ends on 10th of January but the site says there's no campaign.
>>5364761
are Games Workshop primers compatible with that kind of plastic?
Anyone going to build the giant robot scorpion?
Anyone even bought it at all?
>posing all 8 legs to stand properly
Sound fun.
>>5364816
Should be.
>>5363485
I need to get myself a graze custom & booster so bad goddam. I don't want the Barbatos at all though. This is the sexiest thing I've seen in years.
>>5364356
Why would it? Future is acrylic, Enamels are enamels. They use different solvents. You're bullshitting.
>>5364703
>>5364127
Looks like Beargguys are popular Christmas presents. I got the Family version from my brother and I'll probably start it tomorrow.
>>5364915
Different guy but enamels can eat through future. Sort of.
It takes a bit and some pressure but it absolutely can go past the future layer and take up some of the paint underneath. This is using enamels paint for a wash and both zippo lighter fluid and odorless enamel thinner over a cured future with a tamiya acrylic base layer.
Only happens if I'm in the same area for a while. But 99% of the time it doesn't.
>>5364915
>Enamels are enamels.
Some enamels use a thinner with a solvent that is aggressive enough to eat through Future. It has happened to posters in these threads here on /toy/, and it has happened to people posting in the linked Finescale Modeller threads above.
Why so confrontational? Is it that hard to read?
Has anybody tried the Rustoleum matte clear coat? I've had a good experience with their primer but I dunno about their clear coat.
>>5364933
speaking of clear coat, anyone know of a very high gloss spray clear coat? or a clear coat that can be wet sanded and re-coated till it is high gloss?
>>5364936
Alclad klear kote.
>>5364936
Most Gloss clear paints are the same, reflection wise, it mostly has to do with how well prepped the paint that it goes on top is. If the surface isn't completely clean or really dirty it will orange peel/be spotty. Bad spraying conditions may result in the same.
You can also polish the ever loving fuck out of clear coats. You can buy polishing compound from coarse > fine but the same thing can be accomplished using car brand polishing compound and a clean cotton rag. Like turtle wax.
>>5364948
wow looks pretty good from the review i watched. i wish it came in an aerosol can but you can't expect too much quality from anything in aerosol
>>5364965
Alclad in general is crazy good to be honest.
>>5364948
Enamel and enamel thinner can eat through it. Just a warning.
>>5364989
god damn, my local doesn't have Mr Color (it has like 3 bottles of mr metal though) or gaia notes, but they have a wide selection of Alclad
Should I get the Sand Trooper kit first or the FO Stormtrooper kit first? Be aware that I'm painting the Sandtrooper into a Shadow Trooper, and the FO Stormtrooper into Phasma.
>>5365008
From what I have seen, the Sand trooper has a bit of a different sculpt than the original Storm Trooper and has parts that don't fit as nicely. So if you are just glossing the badboy black, I'd recommend just the normal Storm Trooper.
>>5365013
I would, but I've seen Shadow Troopers that have the shoulder-pauldrons, like the Sideshow ones. Only the Sand Troopers have them.
>>5365003
Mr metal color look nice but I feel they rub off too easily. (Hence my problem with finding a good copper paint for my 3.0, mr color copper is shit)
Currently have gaia pearl copper. (Test pending)
What is /gpg/s opinion on the Iron Blooded Orphan HG's?
Hows the 1/100 Barbatos vs the HG Barbatos?
Opinions on IBO kits in general really?
I'm building the Barbatos right now and I'm wondering if I want to split the front skirt panel. I usually do, but the one with the suit is short, so I'm unsure if it'd look good or not. Any input would be great.
>>5365056
This is surprisingly nice: http://www.testors.com/product-catalog/testors-brands/testors/enamel-paint/enamel-paints
>>5365060
I don't have the 1/100 but the 1/144 Barbatos is really nice, and silly easy to build.
>>5365063
Looks fine normally IMO.
>>5365060
I just built the 1/100 graze and it's a great kit.
How is this kit? I realize it's old but I really like the design and thought it was a pretty cool homage.
>>5364965
Testors one coat wet look gloss is strong and has a high gloss. It doesn't have UV protection, like almost every lacquer top coat out there though. I think a coat of acryl topcoat over that will help reduce yellowing.
>>5365060
The Barbatos is fun to build, really fun to paint, and even more fun to pose.

Dalong
Wear gloves if you dont want it full of fingerprints.
Might want to consider getting black paint to paint the shield since it's a solid gold piece.
Consider getting an action base or tamashii stage for dynamic aerial poses.
Backpack is stickers.
>>5365216
Slow board and the chances of someone owning a specific kit are pretty low
But going off dalong it seems to be alright, it looks like its actually undergated so there's no concern regarding nubs, and its not old enough to make it something to avoid, just don't expect crazy articulation
>>5365228
I wanted to slap parts of it together with a Mega Shiki for a custom build, although i'm fond of it as-is.
>>5365234
Just get it. It's cheap. You know you want to.

And fucking bookmark that site, you lazy fuck.
Tallgeese OOB.
He looks rather fantastic, although I will need to fiddle with the rifle position and posing a bit more. Speaking of which, I love the spring gimmick, even if it is simple. I believe a stand would display him better as he is rather top heavy, knees sweaty moms spaghetti, and has tiny feet.
Its crazy that I have not yet done the grey sheet decals (forgot the name, the one you tape on) before, is hobby tape recommended or does clear tape do the job just as well?
Possibly going to have to start Sazabi after Japan I think..
>>5364933
DONT. its garbage, throw the can away. if you want to use cheap hardware store shit use Krylon, Rustoleum goes on lumpy as fuck and frosts like a mofo.
>>5365332
I think it's just a collapsing gimmick on the gun so that the cannon can be reused and become shorter and Tallgeese II can put its hands on it for its iconic pose.
>>5365332
Fuckin rude mate, aint even finished him yet, meet me outside ya cunt ill glass ya
Havn't watched wing, my friend got this for me at christmas but as other anons said, probably to reenact famous scene.
Also the backpacks have a push and pull gimmick of opening up if you want to display standard or flying

This is a pretty good price for this massive thing
How the heck do I reduce the cost of shipping a MG Sinanju? The box is fucking massive. I want to sell it but the shipping would kill the price.
>>5365008
There is a Phasma kit coming too, though the chrome pushes the price to around 4k yen
>>5365332
>complaining about snapfags
>on 4chan
Shit m8 and you had the balls to ask a question at the same time?
I see more snapfags here anyway than painters, and even then most painters are supportive of others.
Christ now I remember why I stopped asking you faggots for help with my models, I actually became a snapfag because you elitist fucks wouldn't give me a fucking answer when I needed help, yet not afraid to deal out shit.
No I don't try reddit I just fumble around, those reddit guys were telling me to use crayons at one stage, now that is disgusting
>>5365350
The tallgeese one's to simulate its firing motion, as in the gun popping after a round.
On the tallgeese 2 you are correct about the gun collapsing, they're made differently between the 2.
A small update, should be getting the foilage stuff next week

If something is backordered on HLJ and says it will ship in 4-6 weeks, is that accurate or will it take up to months or whenever the next restock date for that particular item is?
>splurge on a P-Bandai
>runners not individually wrapped
>plastic scratched up
>one piece has broken loose
Why
>>5365471
So which kit and from where?
Bandai never wrap every runner individually anyway, 2 or 3 is normal. (Save on packaging etc)
>>5365454
It will take until the next run/reprint which is seldom for older kits. Sometimes it will be listed as backorder but then turn to discontinued when they probe their suppliers. All it means is that they will try to get it for you if there is a reprint.
To anyone who's painted the copper parts on the arms of MG RX-78-2 3.0, does the paint scrape off just as easily as the copper stickers do?
As in, is there absolutely no tolerance between those parts and the ones surrounding it?
I'm about to start building mine and I'm wondering if I need to sand the surfaces down a bit before I paint, just in case.
>>5365191
What are you panel lining with?
>>5363255
Don't wanna coat with pledge, the tightness is perfect and I don't wanna fuck with that. The balljoints just pop out way easily, I think it might be an issue with the way the joint is engineered or something.
>>5363309
Because it's the only thing my local B&N had in stock, and I was desperate to build something today. I actually like it way more than I thought I would. The dozens of flame effects are garish if you use them all at once, but if you use a few choice ones, it's quite nice.
>>5364090

Yo Hawaii Anon, props for including a Jon Murakami card and those delicious li hing candies. Your gift recipient is in for a treat...provided the saltiness of the li hing mui doesn't freak him out hahaha. Don't be scurred anon, it's just a salted preserved plum. if you can hold on through the intensity of the flavor, you'll find a nice blend of salty-sweet.
ASTRAY ARE FUCKING NIGGER UGLY MOTHERFUCKING
>>5365557
I just tried one an hour ago. Holy shit it took me almost 20 minutes to get through one and now understand that stupid face anime characters make when they eat pickled plums. Also was not expecting there to be a pit still in them.
Thanks Hawaiian anon. The late part of you package is being shipped out today so it should get to you in like a week.

>>5366315
I like the design a lot
but the kit is piss ass
Since /m/ is having a snapshitter meltdown again I figure I'll copy and paste my problem here.
I'm a fucking idiot that painted the fucking vents and crotch on my cold district a completely different shade of red than it should be. Should I strip it or say fuck it since its only detail painting? Its tamiya flat red. I don't know why I thought it would look decent before but my eye only caught it now. Maybe because I am doing the barbatos right now too for practice along with this. I think I have a zeon gundam marker that is close to the maroon of the GM but this kinda took the piss out of me because I did actually decent with it even if its small ass details.
It's just small hand painting details too.
>>5365362
Wish they made the normal SDs in this size.
>>5366440
>mega shiki, RG strike freedom/destiny or GOUF custom
Help I can't decide
>>5366439
First of all, you seem to think this is actually a problem. So much so in fact, that you cross posted about it. It is not.
When I build, it's to satisfy my own creative impulses. I never paint kits like they appear in the source material. So to me, this is a non-issue.
You seem really upset about it though, so go ahead and repaint. You were trying to match it, after all. If you don't it won't match then, will it? :^)
>>5366315
Yes, you're the only one. Do you want a friggin medal?
>>5366448
D-Do you have a medal? I will take a Zeonic Badge of Glory in Battle, if that's available.
>>5366448
>Yes, you're the only one.
See, I kinda thought that was the case, since NO ONE ELSE posted about being happy it gets reprinted. In fact, all the posts essentially said were "ho hum waiting until next month".
>>5366446
It's been too much porn today for my lonely ass man. I am not in my right mind.

What hands are those? I know the Nobel has them but the scalper prices are unbearable.
>>5366541
They come with the Crossbone X Maoh. The character the piloted it in Build Fighters was a snark little shit.
>>5366440

So I got em: 3 1/144 Kapool kits. 1 month after they shipped out, tracking still says origin post is preparing shipment. They arrived missing their box, the mailer was stuck to the bobble wrap. 2 boxes crushed, but all kits perfectly fine.
Has anyone ever wondered what a Dra-C looks like with Kapool Torsos for shoulder verniers?
Anyone know a way to sharpen nippers?
>>5366597
Either a sharpener from your kitchen knives would work or buy a new pair
>>5366597
Usually there are blade-sharpening services available commercially, I would recommend checking with one and specifying/describing the tool to see if it's something they can do.

So I've been looking at hand painting a future kit with acrylic paint and I've noticed that while most people prefer to apply a topcoat by spraying it on, most spray clear coats are a lacquer base, which don't mesh well with acrylics. Does anyone here know if it's possible to use something else of acrylic nature that can be manually brushed onto a painted surface?

This is an everyday occurrence for me. Somewhere somehow my knife will slip, and that's where I stop for the day.

>the blade slips while cutting a nub
>the blade goes straight for my thumb
>fingernail catches the blade
l-l-lucky

That's always absolutely terrifying. My finger still hurts for a bit afterward, varying with how badly my fingernail got it, but it's still better than a multi-centimeter/inch slice on flesh.

>drop my knife and it makes it to the floor
>didn't feel anything
>constantly check every inch of skin, exposed or not, for the next 30 minutes just to make sure it didn't cut me
>>5366988
>Blade slips
>Cuts off a small piece of your finger from the tip
It's amazing how much blood can flow out through your finger.

I rather have a knife drop on me than paint or glue. Had some super glue fall on my leg, now im a hairy guy so i bet you can imagine the pain i was in

>open blades container to swap out a blade
>trying to touch only the shaft of the blade
>mineral oil has them stuck together
>try to slide one out
>the blades suddenly give way and a shower of blades fall through my thighs

>the blade slips while trimming flash
>the blade goes straight for my thumb
>stabbed deep into the upper knuckle of the thumb.

Final update of anon/amazon
I think im getting $90 back for refunding the stuff and cancelling prime.
Yay i guess? I mean i really needed em and dont trust em to actually fulfill their offer for "buy it again and well give you free shipping"

>hmm this bottle doesn't appear to seal well
>take a sniff of lacquer thinner
H-how long d-d-do I have to li-i-ive, doc?
Can I use Tamiya lacquer surface primer on the Sinanju Ver Ka frame? Or will the ABS react badly to it?
>>5366988
I have a circle shaped scar on my thumb about 8-9mm in diameter from when a knife slipped and took a chunk out of my thumb.

Worst that's ever happened to me was the blade catching where the fingernail and flesh meet. Agonising pain for months had to be endured.
Now I always wear rubber gloves.
>>5366856
Oh, hi. Ys, Copic liners. Found them to be much better than GM's especially since it doesn't bleed/run when paired with TS-80, and stays dark for much longer.

>I forgot to wear...
This so much. What's the point of a respirator if I don't use it.
>>5367192
It was a cooling sensation. It evaporates pretty fast. Into fumes. That goes into my lungs.
>>5366688
I'm detailing with Mr. Hobby Aqueous, top coat it with Mr. Super Clear, their lacquer topcoat, and it's fine. Just remember to let your acrylics cured first and spray your top coat lightly.

Which to build first? Red or White??
>>5367290
HG first, then RG
>>5366660
Fuckin' great picture, M8.
>currency went down to the shitter
>suddenly buying local is now not just a bad choice, it's actually cheaper
Stock's quite limited though: EZ-8, AGE-1 Full Glansa, MG Jesta, MG Sinanju Stein and a surprising amount of RG's: Freedom, Destiny, Strike, RX-78-2, Zaku 2, MK II AEUG

SWEET BABBY JESUS THOSE NUBS
>>5367735
I'm pretty sure those are kanji stickers. They look like shit because the rest of the photo does.
>>5367740
Oh shit you're right, but I also thought there were some on the head and other parts due to the quality
>>5367735
How can you even make out any details with all that blur?
>>5367751
I thought the black parts on the extendo-arms/shields had raised nubs left with stress scrapes on top of them
>>5367718

HELP I FEEL LIKE MY HEAD IS BEING CRUSHED IN I TRIED TO USE MY SHIRT TO BLOCK THE FUMES BUT IT DIDNT WORK

Comes with MG Shin Musha.
>>5367916
Fucking retard, pop some ibuprofen, if that doesn't help go to the fucking doctor.
>>5367916
I hope this is a joke. The guide is MUST READ for a reason.
>>5367718
is that an astray?
>>5368007
>>5368007
Using a thicker shirt won't help. You need a respirator rated to stop fumes (P100).
>>5367718
Astrays are ugly as shit

Sengoku bashed with Musha

the suit is known as weeboshi weebunaga, he has a dream to go back to the ancient times of the honorabur samurai when devoted men committed themselves to dying for a more alpha male's property instead of wasting their time with trivialities such as anime cartoon shows
>>5368007
You dumb god damn motherfucker, go to Lowes or Home Depot and pick up the cheapest bathroom exhaust fan, a duct, a three prong plug, and a drop cord. At the very damn least get the respirator mentioned in the guide.
>>5367916
That, or darwinism is working as designed.
