==NON-BIPEDAL GROUPBUILD==

Build a mecha that does NOT have two legs! This can range from
>A mech with treads or wheels for mobility (ie: Guntank, Hildolfr)
>A mech with no legs that hovers/floats/flies (ie: Zeong, Blodia Riot)
>A walker with 4 legs (ie: AT-AT, BuCUE)
>An arachnid-like mech (ie: Death Stinger, that spider walker from Wild Wild West)
Note that your build MUST be a mech/robot - Just a straight up tank or space ship won't cut it here. Basically, what's allowed boils down to is:
>Zaku II: Not allowed
>Magella Attack Tank: Not allowed
>Zaku Tank: Allowed

Submit your entries to [email protected] , include at least 5 finished pics and any WIP pics you took while working on your entry, as well as a brief description of your build.

Alright, before I start applying top coat, I'm wondering about another thing. Moving parts. Panels that slide up and down, things on joint and hinges. What happens to them when I apply the top coat? Will they get stuck together? Will they crack or chip the top coat?

Do a first coat and let it dry then open any panels and move the articulation a bit then spray another coat with the panels open. If anything is stuck a hobby knife can carefully cut at the sealed panel. You should be fine if you dont spray a thick coat.

there's really no need to do two coats. I break everything down into minor subassemblies to make sure every visible part of the joint gets a coat. one nice wet coat and that's all you should need. two is unnecessary and a waste of topcoat.

for reference,
>>10590919 and >>10590240 are both straight tamiya enamel washes with a nice, wet blasting of lacquer UV Cut Flat directly over the top. just give the enamel ample time to dry and there shouldn't be any problems. if you fuck up, you can strip the topcoat with high concentration isopropanol, but I only really need to fix things when I touch wet parts by mistake and get a nice fingerprint.

you're overthinking it.
just give 12 hours to dry, then spray. yes, lacquer is a hotter solvent, but it's not going to eat dry paint unless you're spraying pure solvent. all the detail paint (eyes, cameras, crotch v, etc) I used on the kits above are acrylic, which on paper should be the moste sensitive to lacquers. zero issues spraying directly on top.

Their Balding by 25 owner/manager is a fucking idiot and blames everyone else is the short version. The long version is during COVID when everyone was low on inventory, he'd order 25 of a kit and get 8, so he started order 100 so he'd get 20-30, and he did this for far flung future orders and didn't tone it down as shipping lanes opened up. Suddenly he was getting told by Bandai "we got 20382646 kits for you, they need to be out of our warehouse by XX/XX." When he couldn't take the inventory, because he vastly over ordered trying to cheat the system, he blamed Bandai for not warning him that production and shipping lanes were catching up. When Bandai responded with "Get them out of our warehouse, or we are giving them to other operations/stores and fining you for clogging up our distro center" he cried about it online and acted like Bandai was the villain and he was just trying to get stock for the dirty peasant masses. He couldn't take the inventory, so Bandai cut him off from direct distro. He's been struggling ever since. Other middle man distributors are hesitant to work with him because of his stupid scheme he pulled in 2021/2022. Then when UPS was going to go on strike, he didn't just switch from UPS to FedEx, he announced it as a sale, to try to get the groveling masses their kits before the shipping got fucked. Which people did not like at all, as he was trying to use a labour strike to push product. Overall it's a fucking shitshow. And though it all he's acted like he did everything for the benefit of the people while charging higher prices on most of the product than other sites.

Built Gunpla holds very little value. Unbuilt, holds value ok, but it is very hard to turn a profit because they are large and you are competing with companies selling the same products with subsidized shipping. Investment-wise, model kits are generally one of the worst. If you are a great builder and have some expert-level paintjobs or something, you may be able to sell those for high prices.

I would recommend you sell your built stuff as cheap parts fodder for customizers. Unbuilt, try to sell them locally, as the shipping will hurt. If you are an expert builder, try to sell your painted builds on eBay.

it honestly looks like a bad mask job. the best time to remove masking is when the paint is half-dried to avoid chipping that usually happens when mask is removed when fully cured. not sure also if the white part is bare plastic, but if it is, there's a reason why priming is a must when painting models.

Just bend the joint one way and spray, let it dry, then do the other way. As long as you don't spray on too thick it shouldn't matter or show that you did two.

If something will present too much problems, partially disassemble it until it won't anymore.

Take out clear parts unless you want to frost them.

I hear water based acrylics are the general go to, but I also fear that water based paints will come off easily.

You can just use a spray can for top coats. Don't worry about an airbrush unless you want to use multiple different paints and colors, but also don't want to store a bunch of spray cans. A cheap airbrush is going to give you very little control and just act as a spray nozzle, too. Save up for a decent kit with good ratings

Airbrush is the most important part. The general gold standard for the hobby world is the iwata eclipse hpcs, $150 at hobby lobby if you're in the US. Badger patriot is like 110 and for under 100 theres the gsi creos mr procon. The nozzle is a part of the airbrush. The iwata eclipse comes with a 0.35mm one that is the perfect middle ground for detail work as well as applying lots of paint for base coats.
Air compressor isn't as important. You just want to make sure it has a tank, moisture trap, and you can configure the PSI.

For metallic, prime with a glossy black then paint for the best finish. Tamiya and Mr Hobby both do good metallic rattle cans. Obviously don't paint on the runner, snip and clean up the parts first before you paint,.

Fully depends on the kit, but 9 times out of ten if you paint a piece still on the runner, you'll make marks when you snip it off where the paint obviously can't be, because there's a nub there. If the kit uses undergating like the gold on a Hyaku-Shiki, then you can paint on the runner, but most stuff isn't like that.

Even if it's undergated, this is generally not recommended because you can chip or damage your paint while removing parts/nubs. It can also be a real mess if you have to sand. This is how you end up having to do a lot of cleanup work. It might seem like more of a pain, but it's a better idea to trim/sand your parts first, then alligator clip them from the back and spray them individually.

For a long time, P-Bandai was Japan and Asia only so people were salty. The current downsides are: there are no discounts (like you'd get from a third party webshop like HLJ), shipping is always at least $10 minimum, and the kits are only available for a limited time. Oh, and if you're not living in a P-Bandai approved shipping area, that's also a downside I suppose. The upsides are that you get the chance to buy riskier/more niche designs, that Bandai was not confident enough to sell at retail. This also means we can get stuff specially made-to-order that Japan doesn't want or care about (like Dragonball SHFs).

>>10605662
Why must you lie? It's no harder than setting up an account on any other shopping website, and they have never failed to deliver an order for me, nor anyone else I know. It is literally done through Bandai themselves and handled with their usual professionalism.

our p-bandai store is limited on Shoppee, and whenever a gunpla gets listed there it gets sold out after a minute because of the scalper bots, so yeah. and also seeing them on toy shelves feels more reassuring than ordering it online.

probably an unpopular opinion, but i hate undergates, especially if they're placed on areas where it goes with another piece to make a seamless sub assembly. you have to be throuogh with the sanding or else the gate will leave a nasty gap between the pieces. i suppose it's designed for plated or pre-painted parts, but it's unecessary in everything else.

Awesome. Fun. Because of the proportions, you get a good look at normally tiny details. Like that cage thing on Buster Gundam's face, it's gloriously huge on the SD.

You can either give yourself a god-tier challenge by painting the Sangokuden SD stuff, or just enjoy well-engineered, great looking figures with lines like LegendBB or SDCS. SDs are just a good time overall.

This isn't correct. P-Bandai is profit focused not sales focused. It's not the # of units they sell but how much each sale gets them for P-Bandai. They use it to recoop expensive licenses/royalties (see Disney/Marvel/Star Wars), hedge losses against experimental products, or to increase margin on other products (i.e. they develop a product but see that it will perform better if it is split between regular sale for main unit and p-bandai for its accessories or they just literally recolor something and spent 0 additional R&D). It's not whether or not something will perform well at retail or not, but if the artificial demand generated from something being labeled P-Bandai will work out. That's why we see mixes of things like unique molds in p-bandai

I trawled r/gunpla the other day and saw some pretty great paint jobs.
this one made to look like the texturing in the original game was my favorite.

I think I'm going to do a few shades of black/gunmetal/gray with copper accents and maybe one or two of the inner spots with a deep metallic red. I want to plan it out beforehand, so I'll probably fuck around and shoop some of the production photos until I have a solid plan.
If it goes well, I might do another one in the style of Desparado MC from MGR. That might be too ambitious.

Finally back from that shitfest.
Nothing from WFM was on sale (didn't expect it), and if you bought them regardless you still couldn't get the 15% discount on their website (this was unexpected).
It was really only worth if you had a bunch of MGs you've been wanting to do. Like 00 or something. Maybe some Ver. Ka were on sale, but overall really shitty of them for not providing a list of what items were on sale. And if you wanted to look on the site if it was in stock, TOO BAD. The item might be in another warehouse.
Honestly I think the best part was watching people just say never mind and not ring up a kit when they found out the item was not on sale. But the biggest sucker was me, waiting 3 hours for this

I've bought an Aerial and Lfrith with the intent on building a custom. I've built the Aerial already but haven't cracked into the Lfrith yet. Before I do, I know that the Aerial's hips are somewhat limited, and that the Lfrith's are supposed to be better, but I prefer the rounded shape of the Aerial's thighs to the Lfrith's. (Aerial's thighs look more thick and round while the Lfrith looks like it's got thinner legs wearing armor.) Is there anything I can do with the hip assemblies to have the best of both worlds?

I prefer the Lfrith's head sculpt so I know I'm using that.

You take it apart as much as possible and paint things individually then put it back together. For example you take the left arm completely apart, organize by color, then you prime and paint each piece. Clear coat it at the end and put it back together.
Sometimes you can't because you have to fix very obvious bad looking seams and in that case you just have to mask mask mask

Chopping nubs looks fine to the eye if you're decent at doing it. But it creates imperfections that paint will only magnify. It's also very easy to fuck up. So good modelers will play it safe and sand.

Personally, I hate sanding and never do it, but I understand the point of it.

Unfortunately you'll probably not find it unless you make it yourself with a 3d printer.
Figures, models, legos, and everything in between tends to go smaller is better for the larger capital ships and star destroyers and larger is better for the fighters.

Sanding is actually not advisable if you aren't going to paint or topcoat, it will just make visible scuffs and discoloration. Unless you sand up through the grits until you get the plastic back to a semi-gloss state, which takes forever.
