How good do the Frame Arm Girls look without painting?
What about with just a light panel wash, and say a matte topcoat?
I've never done extensive modeling before, but I've done some simple snap-build 144 gundam kits... are they much more work than that?
>>5617309
Panel wash and flatcoat will look fine. I only lined mine with a marker. Waiting for warmer weather to topcoat. Do you have any experience with waterslide decals? Those are likely to be your only difficulty.
>>5617329
>Waterslide decals
Not really. I mean, I know the basic concept, but I've never actually applied one.
I'll skim through some modeling walkthroughs and FAQs for tips, though.
>>5617336
I'm not sure if the plamo/gunpla thread faq has anything on decals, but it wouldn't hurt to take a look.
>>5617309
Honestly Gourai looked alright without any special treatment, Stylet not as much but still ok. Just clean the nubs up and you're in business.
>>5617336
For the panty decal, Mr Mark Softer will come in handy, if you have/can get some. Sort of melts it so it all smooths out without wrinkles. For how to, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TACMjQP97WI
That is this Cosmic Break gaem? Look nicely mecha musume. Please don't ban me.
>>5617388
Not that anon, but thanks for sharing this. I think that would help a lot for the pantsu decals when I get to building my Stylet.
>>5617426
I am amazed that I have never seen someone mod proxima into lazflamme.

I remember Cosmic Break... played all through the beta and about a year after release.

Yeah I think it was even some Shinki thread that made me aware of it, but it wasn't very good so I didn't play much. Did like some of the designs though.

Sounds pretty depressing but peace of mind is all I asked for today. Although walking around my campus with a camera early in the morning sounded like a good idea. I should probably get to that one of these days.
So how's is going, anons? What have you been up to with your shinkis?

Oops, that didn't work out. From previous thread.

I don't know what to believe. I just hope the real price will be lower than those gaijin stores have it listed for.

One of the prototypes has been coloured already.

I might get another one of her if there is a reprint in the future.

Hitting up Tokyo in a month. Can't fucking wait to buy expensive-ass Shinkis tax-free. Anywhere besides Mandarake I should be checking out?
http://nov.2chan.net/y/res/3511306.htm
2chan thread up on FAG Architect. I only have Gourai so far, anybody recognize the hips and can tell if they're the good ones?
>>5623852
Probably wanted people to be able to use old/custom hands from their previous shinks.
>>5623865
> buy expensive-ass Shinkis tax-free
You can already do that. Mandarake don't include tax on international orders.
There's jungle in Akiba and there's Lashinbang 3 on the second floor of Nakano Broaday, but its really expensive. I couldn't find a Gabine anywhere last month.
Is it your first time? If you think Tokyo is cheap for this stuff think again.
>>5623963
Shit, really? It's so long since I've ordered from Mandarake. Well, it'll probably still work out cheaper without the shipping and taxes customs like to slap on my packages. But yeah, it's my first time. Honestly, probably my only time for the foreseeable future as there's a lot of other places I wanna visit. And it's less about getting Shinkis for cheap and more the novelty of actually being able to go to a store and get them in person. What's the customer service like?
>>5623963
I think he's referring to shipping as "importing tax".
>>5623990
I get it, not trying to put you off or anything. I remember the first time I visited and it still never gets old.
Customer service is great and they're super polite. Any more and it depends on your Japanese proficiency.
Also, if you're after 1/12 clothes be sure to check out the Mandarake doll stores in Nakano Broadway. They have a ton of neat stuff that's not on line.
There's also another great little doll store with some shinki sized clothes, new last time I visited. I can't remember where it was or the name, but you can't miss it.
It depends what you want. I stock up on clothes, tools and modeling accessories when I go. I can get everything else on line for the same price.
>>5623963
I haven't seen a Gabrine for sale anywhere in quite a while.
>>5623865
Jokes on you, you'll be paying tax on them except at Mandarake.
>>5624353
From what I can can say, Mandarake and Jungle are the main stores for Shinkis anyways. And both are tax free now.
>>5623867
She comes with the same sprue tree parts from Gourai.
If you mean the better robutt, yes they are the ones.

Shit I wonder when the regular one is coming out.
Great, managed to break the wrist ball joint peg for materia. Adding plastic cement with plastic melting properties wasn't the best idea and broke it further.
Are there any third party/Koto MSG ball joints available at that size?
I remember seeing a tweet where someone used ball tie lock fasteners as replacement pegs. Might look into that.
>>5624831
I hope Koto would have an online shop variant with bare bunny leg parts.
>>5625378
Not sure if SHF and Figma 2.0 balljoints would work, IIRC you can order replacement part panels from Koto.
>>5625378
I broke my joint as well so I used the 4mm joint from revoltech.
->http://www.hlj.com/product/KYD06016/Dol
IDK if they still make them cause I bought them a few years ago.
You just have to cut the pegs a little and make one side thicker with paper and superglue
Yes, Stylet just arrived in the mail today.
I'm debating waiting on putting her together until I have a better pair of nippers and a new hobby knife.

>how
Koto sent the prices, descriptions, and photos to a bunch of dealers/distributors and a couple are ignoring the stated publishing dates (or maybe they're just reading them wrong). These random websites aren't making shit up and photoshopping perfect promo shots to fuck with you. It's coming from an official channel. It's just not supposed to be posted yet or else we'd have a Koto weblog link and Amiami listings.
how smug is your architect?
>>5626365
That waist looks different again. More like the resin option parts sets.
USPS already left me a note to come get the architect and she shipped from Japan two days ago. Is TOM taking longer just a meme then?
>>5627411
The only thing faster than TOM is JERRY. Are you talking about SAL?
>>5627526
People had joked about Otaku Mode taking a bit extra to get released. I figured I'd have to wait another week or so. This is my first time ordering from them.
>>5626673
You're probably remembering this photoshopped primer-only prototype from a while back.
>>5627839
And if you're wondering how they got so accurate with the color scheme if that was just a fan mockup, they had the original frame arms kit and the concept art for her from that artbook as a guide so it's not that surprising.
For sale Strarf BiS she was opened brand new 2nd tray has not been opened, instructions also still factory sealed. She does not come with her default head, no open eye faceplate and neck was heated up with a hair dryer and carefully removed.

>>5628148
I'm actually glad you posted it here instead of just the BST, but that's kind of an odd thing to be missing from the set and still expect to get very much for it. Without the neck you can't actually attach the remaining head to the body, so it's sort of useless except for spare parts.
>>5627025
If that one is yours, kudos on the custom facework. I dig it.
>>5628298
Would one of those extra sets (i.e., WaffleBunny, FortBragg) be compatible with this body? It may not be completely useless, considering shinki bodies are retardedly priced if you want a legit. I'll admit I'm not familiar with Strarf BIS and her compatibility, though.
>>5628306
The face is from some Range Murata girl revoltech,.
>>5628399
>backlash
>I'm actually glad you posted it here
One person said wrong thread. nobody's really mad about them posting it here. Everyone's more focused on $25-30 worth of parts for $45+shipping
>>5628317
That's true, those EX sets did come with necks for MMS 1st figures like Bis.
>>5628399
I didnt say anything about that Strarf but i did thought about it being much for a headless shinki. Anyway, check your quotes.
Figures default head is modified on another figure for shinki head to fit on. And as far as posts go I was left the link on BSW to come over here and drop the line. It was my very first 4chan post so it was a mistake.
Her head also sits on mk2 swimwear body and was repainted. So majority of people would cry it was repainted and didn't match her original blue hair status.
Anyway take or leave it, I'll stick to selling my stuff privately to avoid trolls.
-peace-
>>5628317
A black blank goes for about the same price as he wants for the incomplete Strarf.
In fact, there's a complete Strarf Bis for 5k on Mandy right now. Since this guy's charging 45 plus shipping, that's pretty much the same price.
>>5628484
Maybe next time do the bare minimum of research to find out what your shit is actually worth and avoid trolls that way?

Be careful with that swap, the old neck pegs are ever so slightly larger than the new ones so it may lead to cracking.

Didn't even notice that, where would those come from? Some microman figures have metal joints?
Any of you guys ever made a sweater for your shinks? What can I use to make one?
>>5629106
Just found out that it's not actually a joint like the original one.
The guy put magnets in the sockets and put a metal ball between it, so it won't be able to handle heavy objects.
>>5629158
So it's kind of like the joints the Tokyo Libidolls use?
>>5628709

Back when wings of glory miniature game was still running they were producing magnet gimbal mounts to allow one to have their planes diving or banking. Now that xwings miniatures is really popular there are a lot of people reviving that lil trick and putting out tutorials for them.
Just google magnet mount xwing miniatures, you will find a great variety of ways they have been going at this. I don't think using two magnets is that good an idea though, they can interfere with each other. Obviously accidentally putting them in so the same polarity is touching the ball causes repulsion, but not so obvious is that you can risk limiting the range of motion if the two magnets just keep sticking to each other once angle brings the edges within range. but that is something I haven't personally tried out myself yet, I just know that I have yet to see an example of double magnets get used.
>>5629907
That's not unusual.

Shit that's real tempting but I'd rather have the Pearl.
>>5630048
But Lunaria is more tan and also sexier.
Lunaria has pretty much been my grail for a few years now, but I could just never justify the crazy prices she went for. This offer is very tempting but I just don't feel comfortable with that much for an incomplete figure. I'm so conflicted.
>>5630092
Buy an extra face from yja later
>>5629093
Ordered from them a few times, never had any problems
>>5630115
That's... not exactly a reasonable solution now is it? The chance that the exact face that's missing will pop up on YJA is remotely slim, and then I'd still have to find it in time and win it for a reasonable price after middleman fees and such. For that amount of effort I could have just as easily imported a complete one by now.
Or if you meant just pick up a blank head and customize it, that's even less likely to happen. If that option were really on the table I could have bought some recast parts from taobao and made my own Lunaria, but I haven't of course, because I'm lazy and unskilled.
>>5630405
Well, it's more a buy now and pay for the rest of it later kind of deal that I was thinking.
You're going to be paying for the full price of one from mandarake anyways though.
And spare heads on YJA show up all the time. Yes, even from Lunaria.

i don't know if that's good or not

Shipped, it's pretty on par to the price on mandarake.
>>5622347
Good job, Len. Angelene was almost showing some responsibility, there.
Release date in Japan set to be September, apparently.
Price of 6300 yen.
>>5631220
Also, preorders go up tomorrowww.
Sup
>>5631231
PSA: Unless something has changed, these will likely sell out insanely quickly, so if possible, I would recommend that you stay up and preorder tonight instead of waiting until the morning. I may be overreacting, but remember that Gourai's re-release sold out in less than an hour on amiami.
>>5631448
You can also take the much easier route and just order from KotoUS, though they're kind of unreliable.
That said, they're your only chance of getting the exclusive parts without a middleman.
If you really want the hobby japan variant or the pink hair, I suggest emailing them to voice your interest at [email protected] and [email protected].
I've been sending them at least one email per kotoshop exclusive and I'm sure they're getting sick of me, so they'd probably find more voices welcome.
>>5629386
It is NOT crude
It is "designer"
>>5631220
> Price of 6300 yen.
The exclusive is that price, right? The regular version will be cheaper.
>>5629725
Lunaria has sold. Thank you for your interest everyone!
>>5631220
>6300 yen
Christ, she's pricey but i'll still hand over the dollarydoos for slutty bunnybot girl. Do we know what variant to call this? Can't read the moon.
>>5631662
Picture shows the regular release is 6300¥
>>5631939
Yikes. That's quite the price hike. They already weren't that cheap. Though I suppose because you get blank legs and additional mech parts it adds up.
How good is the Skygirls Ichijo Eika (articulation, number of parts, etc...)?
I know its not a Busou Shinki, but is an MMS Figure.
I also want to know how compatible is with shinki accesories and additional parts (extra bodies, Busou Shinki EX Sets).
>>5631220
>Price of 6300 yen.
That's like... double what the normal kits cost, right? So scalper prices will probably be in the range of... 175-200 bucks.
I was on the fence about getting her, but that cinches it. Gonna have to let the bunny girl pass on by.
Maybe on down the line they'll just release a Materia version of her without all the shit strapped to her back and I can grab that instead.
>>5632153
They're the same as any shinki minus non-removable chest pieces sculpt differences, and the fact you can't plug in the normal back bracket on them without some modification.
There should be info on MMS2s in the guide.
>>5632172
It's less than 1300 yen more than Gourai, so no, not double.
Assuming amiami does a 20% discount on preorders like they usually do, it'll be 5040 yen.
Do FA:Gs require painting gluing or any other thing tha's not just snipping the parts from the frame and fitting them together?
>>5632407
Not required, but decent paint app and topcoat can make a big difference.
>>5632126
Yeah, she has separate robot arms like Strarf and the rest of her armament is more in line with what Busou Shinkis have.
>>5632407
Gourai can do with just panel lining but Stylett definitely benefits with painting the white bits on the wings.
>>5632407
totally snapfit but you get as much as you put in, the promo pics are always painted and seams are fixed. Since the parts are all colored plastic with no paint apps you'll be missing the small color details that the promo pics have. The faces and maybe one or two parts are pre-detailed but that's about it.
>>5632407
It's okay to call them FAGs, we stopped making fun of the brand name long ago.
>>5628712
Salty much? Dudes just tryin to sell stuff.
>>5632452
Just thought it was pretty funny that he's here now since we were just making fun of it a thread or two ago.
Baselard preorders apparently going up in 45 min.
>>5632484
Holy fuck I forgot about that jesus christ thin your paints.
>>5632627
The artist himself ladies and gentlemen.
>>5632561
>>5632484
Looks like gloss paint, either how why don't you pros show us your work. I'm sure we'd all like to see how professional your paint jobs are lol. But I guess since you are nitpicking their stuff you have nothing better. gg wp! Here is one of my hairs so you can nitpick at it!
>>5632634
Please, please thin your paints.
>>5632639
paint was thinned and to think that head alone sold for $50. Lets see your pro painting? Oh yeah nothin but words you're too pro!
>>5632634
Also, I really hope that dust and hair is just because you haven't cleaned it in a while and they're not stuck under a layer of paint.
>>5632641
I'm sorry for upsetting you.
>>5632634
Are you seriously calling that a nitpick. Nigga. Look at that shit. Are you painting with latex house paint?
>>5632641
How many layers of paint did you apply? Thinning the paint makes no difference if you apply too many layers of paint.
>>5632643
LOL I'm totally not upset but just shows you have little to no skill like the guy/gal you're grinding on. And as for the dust it has been sitting on my desk for a few days. The paint was smooth for acryllic paint. No hairs were painted in nor dust. But as a painter you have to understand rule #1 no matter what and where you work even in booths, your regional location, humidity etc. You will always have some small amount of dust. So any good camera could pic up even the tiniest of things. Reason I NEVER use a newbie camera.
Still waitin for your pics Bob Ross!
>>5632644
Right off the bat see not even you posted your paint work. And you can keep your foul racial words out of it.
>>5632644
Also real artists use acrylic or lacquer on their plastics. enamel always turns out trash unless you airbrush, even then it can come out garbage cause of humidity.
>>5632650
You laid it on a little too thick here. The trolling is too obvious, especially with the lol up front, and that little 'newbie camera' comment at the end really made it obvious.
>>5632652
And telling someone to stop being racist is the most obvious thing you can do other than say "I am trolling!" Your homework is to get ten (you)s by tomorrow.
>>5632561
>Baselard preorders apparently going up in 45 min.
>>5632661
guess not applying your own paint work can say you are just trying to change the subject and label someone "troll". Still waiting on you and your master artwork.
>>5632650
> like the guy/gal you're grinding on
>seriously pretending that Strarf isn't also yours
>>5632634
>Visible brush strokes
>Pooling in the crevices
>Bits and bumps all along the surface
>Rubbery thick looking texture and sheen
>What looks to be a fingerprint near the top
>What looks like strands of hair partially stuck in the paint
I handbrush models occasionally. Use a decent quality paint, thin until it has a milk like consistency, brush on each layer in a perpendicular direction from the previous to help hide brush strokes, give proper drying time between layers, using primer as a base does wonders for the adhesion, don't brush on too much at once or too wet of paint or else it can pool, and a good quality clearcoat at the end can tie the whole thing together.
>>5632664
Kotobukiya website is dead due to too many people trying to access it.
Amiami's turn probably comes around in an hour at most.
>>5632665
Hey man, I'm just trying to help. Trolls all across 4chan have gotten just awful at it lately and you seem to have some real potential.
>>5632667
I'd be proud to call that my own, since you still have not shown even your work. But like I said you grinding on someone just shows how little minded you are and not even artistic.
>>5632676
Your tears are like milk to me. Still waiting boss ross!
>>5632686
I wonder if I just say (you) if you'll still respond.
>>5632668
He's not really interested in getting better, bro.
>>5632694
Is this your artwork?
>>5632694
Still not showing your artwork still says it all. Like I stated I sold that Altlene head alone $50. Where's your bragging rights in even artwork? Good goin hoss.
>>5632668
Appreciate your critique. As far as paints I tend to use acrylics and lacquers well thinned. Humidity is pretty high in my region so perfection is impossible but looking good is. I love painting desu. I'd use an airbrush but shits too expensive.
Entirely sure you guys are trolling right now, but going to post anyways.
I guess by your logic, I need to post my own paint work for my criticism to be any valid, so I'm just going to capitalize on it to post my Gourai.
I'm not the anon you guys are demanding show his work, but he shouldn't need to show that he can do a better job just to say that it looks bad.
Because it does look bad.
That ebayer with that strarf and the anon posting here with his ruined Altlene needed more practice on things like gunpla before applying brushes on figures that cost over a hundred dollars on the market right now.
I mean of course, they can do what they want, but that's not going to stop people from calling out shit work when there's shit work.
Stop being such a sensitive ninny and expecting people to love your work just because you did it. This is not your Safe Space™. We are not your coddling parents. Learn to take criticism and improve off of it, or get the fuck out.
There are more important things to be worrying about right now guys. When are preorders opening?
>>5632722
Just saying if you can bash someone, put your work out there for critique. Don't grill some poor person cause your shinki is this long - and the other persons shinki is this tall -- Ignorance is ignorance and 4chan at its best.
