For those unfamiliar, "Plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model." If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

1st for gundam astaroth box art
2nd for im starting to like barbatos
Just finished assembly on my first FAG gourai. Pretty quick to build and super cute. There's some nice engineering to try and hide seams with overlapping parts too which is nice. It's a bit annoying to pose though since the arm and leg parts that are just on pegs like to come apart as you try to move them around. The MSG pistol looks great in her hand, but the MSG lance is too big sadly.
>>5631093
Yeah, I've been looking through pictures of stylet and the engineering is pretty good on her too.
Dengeki Hobby shows off some improvements you can make, like redoing the head assembly to seam weld the hair and such together.

Thanks for covering up my fuck up with the 'R' in "Read"
Hey are the missile pods from the old zaku kit compatible with Origins zaku? Oh and what about hands from the high mobility zakus? are they interchangeable?
Have any of you used/seen copic markers on gunpla? They have an airbrush system that uses the markers, and I've seen video tutorials of people decorating fishing lures with them (which implies they're durable) but since they're not paint I'm not sure if they'd magnify flaws in the plastic or some other ill effect?
>>5631779
BTW I've seen people use them for panel lines, I'm talking more generally about using them with their airbrush attachment.
>>5631064
Thats the dude from gintama

>It's a bit annoying to pose though since the arm and leg parts that are just on pegs like to come apart as you try to move them around.
I had a problem with joints being TOO tight, actually. The ankle joints on both my Gourai and Stylet; one of Stylet's ankles actually exploded when I was trying to put it in and I had thread the whole damn thing with wire and cement it. Ended up needing to dremel the sockets out a bit so the pegs would fit.
As for weapons, the rinky-dink shoulder turret Gourai comes with is pretty pathetic so I bought a second big gun, and a belt-fed gatling cannon. The ammo drum and the two big guns on her back don't fit at the same time, though. It's a shame. Also gave her Stylet's gun, since that little blue bitch is rockin' a sniper rifle bigger than she is now.
Sorry about my potato camera.
So, I'm building the Zeta plus A1 and I'm missing the screw who support the legs. Should I keep building it or should I try to find some screws?
>>5631818
>>5631907
those frame arm girls are pretty popular it looks like. More than the actual frame arms lol
Gonna make a police themed color custom, what should i pick to turn into a police? So far i have my eye on Zaku II Origins or the Gm Snipier II. If you have an Suggestions for a Mech let me know.
>>5631959
GMs are easy mode Patlabor replacements, but that's not that fun.
>>5631959
Gm sounds cool or maybe a Jesta
I kind of like the Zaku I better than the Zaku II
>>5631959
Do you have a police force livery in mind to start from?
>>5631959
Grimoire from G-Reco would be cool with its tri-eye and stocky proportions using a shotgun.
Guncannon MP Type. Guntank Origin. Adele or Shaldoll from AGE.
>>5631981
This one kinda caught my eye but thinking of traditional police cars with the standard black white and blue.
>>5631915
It's kawaii ~uguu, mecha and pretty customizable with the female form allowing for more dress ups.
So it makes sense that they are popular, aside from that on guy on both /gpg/ who birches about them.
Been thinking a little lately, I wonder what Bandai's pipeline capacity regarding what they can R&D, produce and drip feed to us while not over saturating the market. IE The star Wars plamo kits seem to have dried up after the April Kylo Ren release (or perhaps there will be more announcements at Shizuoka) and I'm thinking it might be because of the imminent release of the Macross Delta 1/72 kits
>>5631991
That could work as the sheriff ace custom.
I think the origin Guntank or a Zaku 1 could work well for a police unit.
My mind set for how UC police mobile suits would work out, is that they would not have the latest suits and would have old hand me downs from the military or old captured suits.
>>5632056
I think the most likely one is hand me down units, I wouldn't be surprised if we See the First production type gm as police units by UC 93 in colonies.
>>5632065
I also figured that they would have plenty of Zakus of both sorts kicking around even with taking a few for reverse engineering.
You would also have the fear factor with the Zakus.
You could also have the Zaku 1 carrying the colony gassing equipment converted for tear gas for something morbidly amusing and more fear factor.
>>5632179
For science. And giggles. Mostly giggles.
>>5631090
Damn, that's a good color for the Rebake and I really like the shoulders, backpack, and head horns. Are there more pics?
>>5632040
Its because they can only sell SW stuff in the JDM, so I guess they're pushing out the final few projects in progress and leaving the line for a while. The amount of work they have to put into a SW kit is stupid high, unless they happen to have references to schematics, thanks to needing close to 100% accuracy to the movies.
>>5632490
The SW kits really show just how ahead of everyone Bandai is. Seriously, the amount of details on the ship is something.

Probably not.
Shoulders are from the strike if you didn't know.
>>5631915
I think some of the frame arms look neat, but between gundams, zoids and other model kits I have too much stuff to go through first before trying one.
>>5632552
Honestly if you see one that slightly interests you, buy it. Koto normally takes years and years to rerun kits, if ever.
>>5632568
There's a ton of stuff I want more though that I haven't bought. It's just budgeting.
>>5632578
Fair enough, it's just my go to response for anything Koto related.
Speaking of FAGs, which Frame Arms would you like to see made into a FAG next?
>No Wiber FAG who's armor detaches from the body and combines into a motorcycle.
>>5632586
They're newer, but Durga and Magatsuki. Also they did announce Hraesvelgr at some point I thought.
>>5632586
I've seen a Wilber custom by the nips.
My top pick would be the Type-48 as usual, though it already goes very well with the Gourai
>>5632597
They did but I thought it looked kinda shit
Never liked the original design anyway
I would love to see different baselard variants though. Full bombardment, cutlass with different bunny girls
>>5632586
Kagutsuchi-otsu
... is my knee-jerk response because I'm biased towards snipers. More serious answer: Graifen.
Real answer: the whole FA:G selection and creation process involves dark, arcane forces I don't pretend to understand (see: materia, architect, jinrai, hresvelgr). I've decided my best bet is to place my faith in the designers' judgment. Whatever they decide to do will be better than what I would choose.
>>5632615
I am seriously going to be pissed if I miss Baselard. One of my favorite mecha designs period.
>>5632620
Both designs are literally perfect
I wish twitter wasnt a pain in the ass to navigate though, there are many nice and interesting customs on there. Zoids mecha-monster musume for one.
>>5632620
I heard it's going up for preorder in like less than a day.

KOTOBUKIYA TAKING OVER BANDAI WITH THE POWER OF CUTE GIRLS WHEN
>>5632822
Don't fucking tempt me.
>>5632827
When they finally get the parts fit perfect on their releases.
>>5632830
Do it faggot.
>not wanting to be surrounded by cute bunny girls
Also the next rerelease wont be for a while after that
>>5632827
I wish Bandai would start making mobile suit girls with the same quality as FAGs.
I'd probably be waiting a million years before they'd do a suit I like anyway though. I don't care about RX78/zaku.
>>5632830
Do it.
Save on shipping and you can always resell the other one.
>>5632841
I thought about it, but I ship my stuff RSAL most of the time since I already have so much crap to build. I still haven't even touched Stylet, and I'm probably going to box up Gourai's weapons because they're not done and I'm lazy.
>>5632839
Bandai consistently has proven that they can't do animu-girl faces well. I'm not just talking about Super Fumina either.
>>5632839
Koto is really getting a head start, i hope Bandai jumps in and starts getting good soon, Super Fumina was laughable but at least it was an attempt, make Girl Grade happen, Bandai.
At least they can make all their mistakes with the RX-78, Zaku, Ashtray, etc and then really nail the important girls
>>5632839
Just like their AGP line, never liked their MS girls
>face sculpt is shit
>Integration of gundam design is shit
>gundams dont mix well with mecha musume
>>5632847
>laughable
more like pants shitting terror and disgust
>>5632846
That's just a problem of choice of artist/sculptor. That's the easiest part to fix.
>>5632848
I don't think its gundam designs, its just no creative artists.
All things considered baselard is really and excuse to make a bunny girl first and an implementation of the original second, they just threw on a pair of robot arms on the side and did all the could to keep the pristine, vanilla bunny girl an option. Not like that's a bad thing mind you, the plain bunny girl is what sold me on her.
>>5632846
It really shouldn't be that hard.
>approach GSC/MF to create a new partnership
>look at the FA:Gs
>get APSY to sculpt some stuff for them with the input of model kit designers
>build a couple of prototypes
>fully convert to runners
>free money
>Preorder is already closed
Holy shit I think that was the fastest FAG to sell out on preorder yet.
>>5632858
>http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?ms=1&page=2&tags=mecha_musume+gundam
They just don't really look good for some reason.
I would say the Baselard is the one that inspired a bunny girl, not that they wanted to make one. Also the design makes sense and is literally perfect.
>>5632858
That's why baselard doesn't do anything for me. It's a "bunny girl next to some mech stuff" rather than a "bunnygirlmech". Seems I'm in the minority though.
>>5632888
Honestly the simpler design of the main body is probably better for us, since it wont complicate the model kit design.
>want to have torso-to-waist armor
>complex layers of armor with multiple points of contact
>have to be human-like in proportions
>>5632902
Actually I'm just talking out of my ass and if they wanted to they'll definitely be able to cook something up
>>5632876
Opinions, I guess. Like anything some are good and some aren't.

>>5632620
Did you get her
>>5632908
The best one was still the grimgerde/barbatos girl, though they arent mecha at all
>>5632916
Hlj still has her up but there is an order limit of 1. Likely to prevent the partial order cancellation like architect.
>>5632967
People were ordering multiple architects and then cancelling? Why?
>>5632956
>And then there their love of eye stickers
well they're trying alternatives, not quite sure how I feel about it though
I think at this point Bandai will figure out how to engineer perfectly colored and prebuilt figures out of the runner before they ever decide to focus on better sculpts, give people waterslides and let them paint shit themselves
>>5632967
So damn happy i checked
>>5632970
The only cool thing about this is being able to make a frankenstien gunpla
>>5632969
Forced cancellation by hlj due to overselling the PO actually.
>>5632916

This is gonna be fun.

>>5632982
It's not bad. Looks like it being misshapen has more to do with the packaging than anything.
I kinda dont want to open / build it and keep it as some sort of memento of a simpler time.
>>5632970
Hope we get some none fag pilots
>>5632979
Get that from mandarake? I really need to start watching that site for escaflowne kits
anyone here has Koto's Muv-Luv kits? How good are they?

>>5631818
>>5633107
!! those special edition zetas
>>5633107
You have a noble mind anon.
>>5632979
Nice find, I have Escaflowne and Scherezade from that line, both unopened. They're pretty shit kits befitting the time period and price point, but fuck it, it's something. Being an Escaflowne fan is pain.
So in my endless quest to find the perfect clear paints to do my ancient Unit 01 in metallic colours with (with Unit 02 legs because I fucked up the kit's original legs. Don't ask.) I now have 3 potential candidates for the purple.
1: Mr. Clear Colour Clear Purple. Probably won't use this one as it's a fucking nightmare to work with and expensive as fuck to get hold of. Maybe I'm just a retard who's spent too long working with 40K models but I hate this stuff with a vengeance. It's gloopy as fuck, needs a tonne of thinner (the thinner in question being expensive cancer in a bottle) and IIRC it will burn anything off that isn't hardwearing lacquer paint.
2: Badger Minitaire Ghost Tint Purple. Went to Salute! recently and the bloke at the stand recommended it to me. He gave me lots of advice on it actually, notably that it doesn't require thinning before running it through an airbrush, and it's water based (which is neat). Also it come in a dropper bottle, which is cool.
3: Forge World Eidolon Purple. I can't find any reviews or information about the FW paints but in my limited experience with them (which was by hand on 28mm scale miniatures) they're great to work with. I managed to get a reasonably convincing metallic teal effect on a Vampire Lord's armour with them with a paintbrush. I don't THINK they need thinning through an airbrush either, though I have the thinner just to be on the safe side.
Regarding the metallic coat, I'm probably going for Tamiya Chrome Silver as I like the flake it has, or Mr. Colour Chrome Silver as it has a very nice finish when it's buffed, and is much less of a pain to work with than the clear paints.
Of course I need to buy myself a new airbrush first as my ancient jar-feed is falling apart.
Finished some robots today

>>5631090
More of that rebake pls....
>>5633231
Alclad bro
>>5633545
For the silver? Yeah, I have heard it's good, though there is something about the "grain" of other metallics I quite like. I might get some to test out with though. Is it easy to use?
>>5633266
Would you recommend the Guntank? It looks neat.
Ranba Ral Waffe
>>5633561
They have a candy coat range now in enamel and a specific bright silver candy undercoat lacquer which I bought to test it out. It's very bright, as in it has a nice lustre to it without being reflective. That said, the grain is very fine.
>>5633565
Not that anon, but the guntank is a very fun build, and I think, easy to detail to make it look very good too. Careful if you're drilling holes in those "hands" gatlings though, very easy to mess up.
>>5633610
OK, thanks. I'll check it out, though I intend to see if I can get some good results with what I have at the moment on some plastic spoons before I launch off into buying stuff. Can't hurt after all.
By the way, are these any good?
http://www.zero-paints.com/Candy_Paints--category--156.html
>>5633634
Cool, cheers.
What high grade has the Wing Gundam with the angelic wings? I've tried going through the entire dalong.net catalog but I can't find it and I feel like I went blind.
>>5633723
Wing Zero Custom?
No high grade, only a very old one. Probably hard to find, too.
There's an RG though.
>>5633658
Not sure, never used them. Automotive guys are pretty hardcore about their paints though, probably worth a shot.
I was wondering, why go for a candy coat if you like metal grain? Cant you just use a metallic purple colour? Or mix your own? The primary colours are represented as metallics, just use those.
>>5633732
Is this it? It doesn't list it has HG but there's a transparent one not listed as HG that says it's HG on one of the images.
http://hlj.com/product/BAN61209/Gun
>>5633820
They're old "HGs". And that is one, there's a few different "HGs", 1/100 Victory for example had it too, I believe.
>>5633748
Wait, you can get metallic purple/green/orange? The only metallic paints I've ever seen have been in "normal" metal colours (brass, bronze, silver, steel, gold etc). As for why go for a candy coat, A: I didn't know you could get coloured metallic paint until now, B: whilst I do like metallic grain, there is something really nice about the depth and intensity of colour granted by candy finishes- and having a candy effect with relatively "coarse" silver would allow for a good compromise (at least AFAIK), and C: all the attempts I've made to mix my own coloured metallics have been fairly uninspiring- they've all been very washed out and pale.
Please bear in mind I'm not very experienced with painting and only really have experience with 40K minis, though I am looking to increase my proficiency.
For what it's worth, I was inspired to do a shiny Unit 01 by the SOC figure which has a GORGEOUS candy purple finish.
Any place where I can buy decent decals for the PG Unicorn based on the ver Ka. without having to sell my kidney in order to buy to P Bandai FA set?

http://www.gundammodelcenter.com/pg-160-c-32_37/gundam-central-pg-160-rx0-unicorn-full-armor-unit-p-123.html
I know the decal alone is way cheaper, but if you want the FA set as well, this isn't half bad.
>>5633566
fucking Bandai release a proper Zaku II grunt version from Gundam Origin already
Is there a better socket to connect the MG Unicorn to an action base than the one provided with the Unicorn? It doesnt have a lot of clutch so the Unicorn falls off a lot when trying to pose it
Also how do you get the knee psychoframe to stay out when you put it into unicorn mode? I had to jam a piece of wood through the back of one of the knees to keep the psychoframe out,

Not that guy, but that's an awesome link/deal I'm gonna jump on it
Asking in both threads for maximum coverage.
What colours do you think looks best with a glosscote? I'm asking for personal opinions here. There's no wrong or right answer.
>>5634930
Well it seems similar enough to a model that it would be fine to post it here.
>>5634940
Black can look quite sexy. But then again that could just be the Kampfer doing that, it's known to make any candy coat look sweet.
>>5634403
Buy some fucking green paint
I'm more upset about how nearly impossible it is to remove the seamline on the side of the lower legs
>>5634940
red
>>5634942
Better check the scale model thread.
Also, by your logic Matchbox and Hot Wheels belong here. They dont.
>>5634937
It looks like an awesome deal cause it's the 3rd parry daban release, not the one from p-bandai.
>>5635016
Major kek.
I'll wait for actual photo reviews, daban hasn't been terribly impressive so far.
>>5635016
I'm aware. I like 3rd party stuff, 60$ for a knockoff is still a pretty good price for me.
>MG Jesta Cannon is P-Bandai only
Damn shame. The HG was probably the most fun I've had building so far, and I was really hoping to get an MG with lots of gun. I guess the Geara Doga will have to do.
HobbySearch had a sale recently and I bought some decals and decided to get the NXedge Schwalbee Graze since it was cheap and holy shit is it a mess. Admitedly its one of my first toys of the kind from japan, I usually stick to gunpla, but no wonder people don't give a shit when building gunpla when bandai doesn't with their prebuilt toys, this thing has some pretty nasty nubs and gouges. I had to clean up the elbow joints since nubs limited its intended articulation. Guess that's mass produced toys for you, still pretty neat toy but it reinforced my preference for gunpla, where I only have myself to blame for shit looks.
On another note one of my decal sheets has a bunch of decals mostly, well, frosted over? Not sure how to describe it, one sheet (same decals, different color) looks perfect but the other sheet is all fucked like this. It almost looks like they're bubbled or not sticking to the sheet from certain angles, are they screwed up or will it make no difference?
>>5633305
You call that a backlog? I am disappoint.
>>5635287
Disregard the decal stuff, I'm a complete retard.
I went ahead and tried opening the bag/sleeve and realized it was just the decals sticking to the plastic and giving it a weird look, they're intact, here u was ready to test them out.
>>5633833
>>5634601
This
when you get the hang of it, it could get quite addicting
How do i get this piece in? Ive tried a lot of things but it wont fit
Its the mg
>>5631915
I got a couple of the frame arm kits and they're pretty fun and neat looking, only thing that bothers me is that the prebuilt inner frame has cuts where there might have been nubs or something. most of is covered by other stuff but they can sometimes be visible on joints so you end having to sand it.
>>5634937
Remember it's not Bandai
>>5635603
you're just being a tryhard 'muh nubs' autistic fuck. get over it.
>>5635718
You gotta step up your bait game senpai
>>5635731
what? it is just fucking autism.
no one is gonna inspect every minor detail of your frame arms and judge you because it has nubs or gouge marks or other shit that no one but your autistic ass cares about.
if you seriously get bothered by such mundane pointless shit because "muh gpg is gonna berate me" you seriously need to reconsider your life.
I'm trying to handpaint, but I can't thin acrylic properly for my life. Does it get any easier if I use thinner instead of water?
>>5635787
Maybe. Probably not
What paints?
>inb4 craft store acrylics
>>5635810
Liquitex basics, based on the recommendation of some guy who paints WH40K figures. Did I get rused?
>>5635626
Heil Daban. Heil DM!
>>5635822
I don't know about liquitex, since I've never used nor seen it, but painting minis and gundams are slightly different.
Just keep the basics of handpainting in mind and try it out I suppose. You might want to find second opinions though.
>>5635833
I'm only painting details so far, not whole pieces, more specifically the pilot for the Scopedog Tubo D-style right now. So I thought it would be mostly similar.
>it's current year
>Still no HG level Macross part forming model kit
Just got my Architect in, and boy is she just a whole lot of flat gray. I got away with just little touch ups on Gourai and Stylet, but I think I'm going to have to go full out for this one.
>>5635599
Are you sure? That piece is meant to stick out quite a bit. Anyway, you just need to push it from below, down on that second peg.
>>5636079
Thanks. Most of the time, it seems I thin it too much. I setup a wet palette and dip the tip of my brush in water, should I just switch to a regular palette and use a dropper?
>>5636154
Don't even waste time with a palette. Glass and plastic paint jars are cheap as hell and much nicer. Also, Badger makes a $15 electric mixer that is super nice.
But honestly, I'd switch over to Vallejo or another brand of paint.
>>5636163
What about Citadel? The closest hobby shop to me only sells that brand. I'd have to drive an extra ten minutes to get to a Micheals to buy Vallejo.
>>5635166
Fuck i love the jesta cannon
>>5635166
the armor adds so much more personality.
its a shame it doesn't come with a left trigger finger to dual wield the included beam carbine for maximum gun. anybody know of any kits with a left trigger finger in the 1/144th HGs?
>>5636209
Nothing really wrong with Citadel, but it is kind of expensive for how much you get. Also just buy online, pretty cheap that way.
>>5632970
Yes Bandai. You're totes awesome with your molding skills Bandai. We get it already Bandai.
Still, I'm happy if only because the Figurise label isn't dead.
>>5634557
Man I need to see what's in the Xtreme Metal color library now.
>>5636154
I use 1 or 2 oz sample cups, and I thin a little less than what the manufacturer recommends for airbrush.
>>5636209
Citadel's an okay water-thinnable brand, but Micheal's only carries Testor's. For Vallejo you'd have to find a model-hobby store or like GG said go online.

>HGBF GM Sniper K9
>Gundam Front HGUC Banshee (would be the closest to Jesta Cannon's hand size, not sure)
>HGUC ReZEL Defenser Unit (also might be pretty close to Jesta Cannon's hand size, not sure)
>HGUC ZII
>Thunderbolt kits
>High Mobility Zakus, Zaku Amazing, and Kampfers
>Technically the Crossbone kits come with a set of trigger fingers, but only for their flintlock beam pistol (but not the combined beam rifle)
All I can think of. I'm sure there are more.

Wave "makes" the same thing for 800 yen, pretty sure both are made on the same chinese factory.
So how long has it been since RG Gm was announced to be added into the RG line?
>>5636348
Honestly its kinda worth it imo.
I have a couple tubes of paint thats lasted me almost 3 years of painting, but still there are cheaper paints that do the job better for acrylics

it looks pretty spot on. thanks
>>5636496
Keep in mind you just posted an image of the MG.
>>5636496
Fucking bandai not giving us an HGUC A type Rezel !!!!!!!!
now plz make Providence
>>5636526
I want DESUTANY
>>5636534
I just realized these are the MG's and not HG's.
still want that desutany
>>5636526
i have had my old 1/100 ng providence since 2005. I hate SEED, but love the providence gundam. It did dragoons right the way he raped with them and went fucking nuts simultaneously.
>>5636534
they will probably remake that one too but not soon
>>5636526
3rd party steps up to the plate.
>>5636546
oh shit nigga!
who is making this, dragon momoko?
>>5636548
New company called devilarts.
>>5636475
>since RG Gm was announced to be added into the RG line?
It was never "Announced". Bandai just was showing off some test lineart for designs under consideration for potential future RG releases. They do that sort of thing with lineart and rapid-prototype models all the time as a way to gauge interest.
>>5636546
holy crap who is stocking this and when will it be done
>>5636576
Samueldecal already has it up on his facebook so presumably him at least. No word on release as far as I can see.
>>5636546
That looks pretty damn impressive for a third party.
>>5636546
>>5636553
Honestly? We need a Legend Gundam more.
>>5636586
Is that a conversion kit for the strike freedom? Which release is it?
>>5636581
99% of resin kits are made by third party HK that are run by like 3 guys.
Manufacturing in China has just become cheap enough that they can afford to make full injection molded kits.
>>5636577
>Samueldecal
wicked, thanks!
>>5636590
[Super-G] for resin
Monster Models for plastic
>>5636598
I'll be impressed if they can do a full injection mold of the Psycho Gundam MK II and the Neue Ziel
>>5636614
it's only a matter of time and you know it
>>5636653
Yep getting there for sure. But I just wanna see it with my own eyes, and Dendrobium needs company.
>>5634944
That's a surprising response. I've honestly never thought of black as being something that would look good glossy. I'll have to give it a test on one of my kits.
>>5635603
yeah I didn't like that either. supposedly the new ones coming out are "modelers edition" and theyre selling inner frames seprately that you can de nub yourself.
How much weathering should I put into the gundam unicorn(destroy mode)? I don't know if I should go all out, with chipping, soot, and grime, or just a little bit with only soot
>>5636546
wow that's really cool
maybe if they moved that bad looking suit I could see more of that sexy organizing rack
>>5636475
Its literally the same except the head and crotch. just paint it.
>>5635761
don't see the need to be so angry, white marks on a grey body is noticeable so might as well get rid of them
>>5635166
I paid middleman fees for the MG Jesta Cannon. I love it.
Working on this and nearly done. Gotta do the weapons. Now.
When does the 1/100 Efreet Kai come out? Most sites still say late april, while Amazon says May 18th and the jap version of it says it's already out.
>>5637030
Its out now, don't believe amazon, its an american site, yanks don't know shit.

someone was asking for this a little bit ago. same guy has tips for boosting old kit's waist and hip articulation
>>5636985
I like the weathering
>>5637095
Thanks. I really havent touched it outside of hitting it with a file. All the coloring is just preshading so far.

Is the "111" just Mr. Color 111 - Character Flesh? I couldn't find it on any colorguides
>>5637529
>buying Cu-poches
>>5637564
download the google translate app and scan it
>>5637586
>fresh character
I suppose its correct
>>5637565
Jointshit are terrible on organics unless they are cleverly concealed.
Pretty forgivable on mech and robot girls though.
>>5637587
Just so you aee aware, flesh and character flesh are two different colors in the line. Character flesh is a lot paler.
>>5637565
The only thing wrong with them is that there weren't any characters worth buying.
>>5637587
Thanks for confirming and giving me the tip on the app, will be using it from now on
>>5637605
Very fair, I will get character flesh as I think that would be most close to the color.
Another question; do you know if there would be a difference to buying Gaia vs Mr. Color? The manual for one of my kits calls for;
>Gaia 024 Cobalt Blue
>Gaia 004 Ultra Blue
Is there a Mr. Color equivalent? I've seen Cobalt Blue in my local hobby shop but didn't purchase it due to autism. Would there be a difference between buying the manual recommended paint or an equivalent (assuming it exists)?
>>5637667
... okay, that was a little tempting.
Its still as cancerous as nendoroids though
Don't be intimidated its just a SEED MS
>>5637707
Everything looks good except the wing cannons
Especially the wing cannons
>>5637707
bigger guns means better design am i right guys
>>5637707
Some reason I think Kataoki had a hand in it's design.
Also, lotsa sprues there, Mr Influx sir
>>5637738
Thats like as bad as the K9
>>5637738
Question is how much of it is extra parts?
>>5637759
So last night I tried seeing how simple the regular gusion parts could be modded to fit over the 1/100 barbatos frame since the gusion doesn't use several of the frame parts the rebake does.
Torso and head were simple, they fit right over the cheast parts and connect the same way as rebake. The waist parts needed a small bit of plastic trimmed (due to barbatos having a different crotch piece on the frame) but nothing major.
Then you get to the legs, which is what kills it. On barbatos the knee joint is sort of a circle piece fixed in place by the lower leg. On gusion and rebake it's more of a half circle and peg so you can pull it out of the lower leg frame and stick it in the gusion leg joint.
So that was the end of that. I figured I could simply clip the pegs and glue anything like the bicep or thigh armor on, but heavily modding an actual joint is further than I'm looking to do.
>>5637738
Damn son. That is a LOT more runners than I was expecting. You gonna paint it or just straight snap?
>>5638036
There are online tutorials on how to mod the legs.
What's the best site to shop for Gunpla in the UK?
>>5638439
HLJ
Hey I live in the State of Ohio what site is the most reliable and reasonably priced for P-Bandai? I'm interested in getting the HGUC X2 Crossbone.
>>5634910
It looks like Wonderwoman's jet.
>>5635761
Anyone who is this ass blasted and seriously uses the word autism as an insult CAN'T BE THIS UN SELFAWARE? Can they?
You have real autism bro.
>>5637711
>>5638763
I kinda want to see someone do a Geara Zulu in classic colors of ace pilots like Black Tri-Star, Char, and Ramba Ral.
I'm a VFX artist for films and one project I'm working on requires large-ish, custom built, spaceship models. Scale isn't too important as long as the models are very detailed.
What I need are lots and lots of "model kits", you know the plastic ones with all the individual pieces you glue together, so that I can kitbash something together.
I have absolutely no idea where to find said model kits, I live in london but i'm guessing it would be cheaper to buy them online. As cheap as possible would be good because then I can buy a shitload.
Does anyone here have any recommendations regarding where to look?
>>5638884
firestorm armada is a miniature game revolving around space battles, check that out
The graze craze if probably over, but any thoughts on a desert color scheme graze?
>>5638932
Looks good. I think that would work even bettwe with the ground-type feet the graze custom's supposed to come with.
>>5638932
Looks good.
>Graze craze is over
1/100 Custom/ground type comes out in June.
>>5638439
Hlj if you're willing to import, Japan cool if you aren't.
>>5638932
I suggest putting that on the Graze Ground type.
>>5638932
Looks good, but as others have said, put it on the ground type.
>>5638439
HLJ, Amiami, hobbysearch, banzaihobby, mandarake.
>>5638932
Graze is love.
Remember when i said i was working on a police based unit. I tried something with the Graze.
