== VIDEO GAMES GROUPBUILD ==

Build a Mecha or vehicle (Spaceship, tank, etc) that appears in a video game!
>Any game series is fair game to source kits from (ex: Armored Core, Muv Luv, Virtual On, Mega Man, etc)
>For mecha anime appearing in video games the design must have originated from a video game, just appearing in a game like SRW doesn't count (ex: the Gundam Pixy is fine since it debuted in Cross Dimension 0079 for the SFC, but a plain old RX-78-2 is not fine despite appearing in the same game)
>Alternatively, you can kitbash kits in order to create a build inspired by a video game character (ie: a Samus made out of a Michaelis)
>Spaceships (ex: Vic Vipers) airships (ex: Highwind) and other vehicles (ex: Mammoth Tanks, Neotanks, those walkers from Halo) are also fair game as long as they're clearly mechanical and sci-fi - Don't go submitting the Shelby Cobra from Age of Empires II.

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.

Shot in the dark, but does anyone here know where I might be able to find abrasive hobby knife blades like these Swamp File things? They seem like they'd be great for fine sanding in hard to reach spots, but I can't seem to find these or an equivalent.

Does usags have a lost package policy? Or is it case by case?
I have a package that's was supposed to arrive Tuesday, but it's been stuck on pending for 2 days. I know delays happen and what not so I plan to give the carrier until monday before I message usags, but I just wanted to know if anyone had any experience and what I should expect.

Dunno how helpful this is but for the record every time I've ordered from them I assuredly got my package but it was incredibly slow. Easily the slowest domestic online store I've ever ordered from in any hobby.
But don't hesitate to reach out to them after what you feel is an appropriate amount of time to wait before saying something. You never know.

it never ceases to amaze me with how impatient people have gotten with shipping after amazon prime brainrot. even the few domestic sellers (gundamstoreandmore, bbts, etc) used to take multiple weeks minimum to ship, and hobbysearch and HLJ were always using SAL.
I don't get the "I NEED MY TOYS RIGHT NOW!!!" mentality.
it's more fun to buy things without tracking and being pleasantly surprised when they show up instead of hyper fixating on a tracking site a few times a day.

Its kinda like a musium, but its people pay x amount per month to display their creations. It seems like a genious business idea, but I don't know if the idea could catch on in the west.

It's basically a regular spray bottle but with the spray nozzle turned upwards and a metal (or plastic) plate around it to collect the fluid:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006139176362.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005992501170.html
etc

I find it convenient for storing alcohol and dispensing it directly on a paper towel for cleaning, but I don't think I would use it for thinner: you still need to operate the pump by pressing down on the plate and the touch is not really that light.

I bought #2 blades thinking they would fit in my #11 handle, and realized that I was retarded too late to get a refund.
So, are there any recommended alternatives to X-Acto that I can find on Amazon? Or is this something where the brand is actually important?

This supposedly "intuitive" grinder/polisher took some time to get the hang of: for the life of me I could never remember the combination of short and long presses on the power button to get the right rotation speed and direction.
But then I remembered that it is supposed to have gyroscopes(?!) in it. Well, what do you know? If you flick your wrist clockwise while holding the power button, the thing starts rotating clockwise and vise versa. And the more vigorously you flick it (or the more irritated you are), the faster it rotates. First time using a tool like that.

What tools are considered "must have" for more detailed modeling? I'm talking about stuff beyond an airbrushing setup, hobby knife, glass files and putty, I want to do justice for my kits. So far I have:

Magnifying headset
Sanding sponges up to 400 grit
Sanding sticks up to 320 grit (or so)
2000-12000 grit sandpaper
Pin vise
Bench clamp/vise
Round file
Cross tweezers

I'm still researching scribing sets, and I also need a burnishing head for cleaning up drill holes. I also have an old Dremel my dad used to use for hardware stuff that I'm not sure how to adapt for modeling (things like a buffing/polishing head, paint mixing head, etc.).

I think you might want the higher grits too.

>2000-12000 grit sandpaper
I don't think I've used actual sandpaper in years, sticks and sponges covered all my needs.

>Round file
The other shapes of files could be useful too.

>Cross tweezers
I think you will find regular tweezers more useful in most situations.

>scribing sets
I think you'll want various chisels for scribing and general construction at some point.

I think you'll want something less powerful and more finely controllable.

Yes it grinds down plastic like it's soap, but that's equivalent to your 320 sanding stick. You're using them to remove material and change the shape entirely.

Glass file is equivalent 2000+ grit sandpaper, for final polishing work. Not sure if they are easier to use than sandpaper or polishing compounds.

you can get different kinds from thick gels that stay in place to extra thin shit that will easily flow into gaps but it's all cyanoacrylate. don't use putty for interior connections, that shit is for physically adding material and remodeling pieces like filling in gaps. it'll change the fit of the pieces from the extra material

glass files are easier to use because they leave a smooth finish like 2000 grit sandpaper but take off material more aggressively, as fast as rougher grits. so you don't need to do multiple sanding stages and work your way up from low to high grit for things like removing nubs.
of course taking off more material is also a downside if you want to do shit like polish a gloss coat so in that situation you'd prefer other tools like the sandpaper or polishing compound

>Story:
>600 years ago, a group of meteorites rained down upon the planet, destroying its crust and causing catastrophes on a global scale.
>Following this cataclysmic event, the world's powers concentrated into the Feyetoll Empire—the single largest global superpower that rose to prominence in the aftermath of the wars that took place during the planet's restoration—and the Waize Federation, which was formed in defiance of Feyetoll.
>Then, out of the burnt remnants of the meteorites that nearly caused the complete destruction of the planet, a new type of energy that would replace the already depleted fossil fuels was discovered. War once again erupted among the powers as they scrambled to take control of this new energy source. However, strange beings called cryptids began to rise forth from meteorite excavation sites around the world.
>To exterminate these cryptids and combat rival powers, humanity developed REAPER and GRIM REAPER—all-purpose humanoid weapons powered by JUNGFRAU UNITS—and EXOSKELETON, a reinforced power suit worn by humans. They soon took over the battlefield.

But it turns out these are one "series" split between 1/48 giant robots and 1/12 humans. And for some reason half is made by moderoid and half by kotobukiya which is why they look so unrelated at first.
And then they have a third series of cryptids which aren't in either of those stores but are instead in gachapon machines?

You should be most worried about how sharp the tip is for detail painting. Though generally anything smaller than 4mm should be fine, as long as you maintain the bristles and tip (keep paint no more than halfway up the bristles, google rest of maintanence I'm not telling you everything in a post)

No coat at all. Candy coat already has a clear coat (it just happens to be colored) and pure metallics are best left alone. The best protection for your paintjob is leaving the kit in its display case.

Any tips on moving my built kits? We are looking to get a bigger house, and I've seen horror stories of kits getting mangled during a move. I've seen people put HGs in red solo cups, then putting those in boxes and people saying stuff boxes with shredded paper, but those sound kinda sketch. And apparently packing peanuts don't exist anymore? Tried four places and none of them had packing peanuts. I'm going to be moving the boxes themselves so I don't need to worry about some underpaid druggie or brown skin tossing the boxes around.

I'm moving next month I've packed up about 70 built kits and 20 or so of which were painted
For my painted ones I wrapped bubble wrap around each limb, and the whole thing, then put them in gallon zip lock bags and put them in a large plastic storage container I got from lowes or home depot, one of those big black ones with the yellow lids
For my unpainted ones I generally took them apart as much as I could then bubble wrapped, put in bags, then the same kind of box
Also used paper towels for half of them works just as good as bubble wrap although I probably wouldn't use it for painted ones

For weird shaped shit or really hard to take apart stuff (ex koto mgs rex) i found a box that fit it and bubble wrapped it then filled the box with cloths, socks, etc for padding

Honestly for any unpainted kits you're more than likely fine just wrapping them in some paper towels, putting them in a bag (I do this so if pieces fall off I know where they came from) then just tossing them all into the same big box and filling any remaining space with clothes/towels/etc

correct. you can't actually reverse wash unless there's a layer of lacquer under the enamel. and clear gloss lacquer is just fine.

this is a common technique for painting faces on coomer kits like megami device, they do some eye details in enamel, erase the parts they don't want, gloss coat, more face detail in enamel, gloss coat again, etc.

I'm assuming they took the listing down for it because they're not going to be making another batch for a while or they're working on an improved version that isnt finished. Ive noticed these seem to be the two likely cases from a lot of these niche items.
They still have their normal chinkbooth + waterfall for sale. So I'm guessing its one of the two options I mentioned above.

Absolute bullshit. Silver and gold metallic paints oxidize and loose their color very easily, especially while handling. Even mr. color gx has a problem with oxidation.

>>10876307
As far as clear coat goes it depends on the type of paint I used. Acrylic gets mr.super clear and metallic laquers or enamels get water-based topcoatto avoid the solvent from misaligning the metalic particles. I like either some resin varnish or if I'm feeling particularly caveman like some floorpolish.

Interesting bit, if your airbrushing molotow chrome and want to keep your finish floorpolish has by far produced the best results. My old ass Hi-Nu still looks great.

Home depot sells what is basically adhesive foam wrap. Remove any thin or otherwise fragile parts, put the figure in the slimmest pose you can manage and wrap it and it's accessories with it. For kits or figures you don't wrap like this you can layer them horizontally putting the foam between each layer.

I've had to evacuate for hurricanes a couple times and it does the trick each time for my dozens of kits.

In thin enough coats it doesn't matter. I use fucking rustoleum clear laquer sometimes on painted parts and it works beautifully so long as care is taken to not overspray and eat the paint.

Then you have a problem, especially on abs.

>Silver and gold metallic paints oxidize and loose their color very easily, especially while handling. Even mr. color gx has a problem with oxidation.
I don't know what paints you've been dealing with, but I doubt those were hobby paints.

ALL hobby and most art metallics use aluminum powder as a base + appropriate colored pigment. Aluminum does not oxidize in normal conditions. I don't think you've been in the same room with Mr Color GX, sorry.

I have a model with lots of stickers. Nobody has made waterslide equivalents, and they're important for the look of the model.
What's the best way to apply and protect them? I was considering: Clean the surface > Apply decal > Use a blunt object to remove air bubbles > Maybe blowdry on low heat? > Top coat.

I don't build that much gunpla, but it depends on what you plan to do with it. You need vise to hold small things conveniently or to free up both of your hands for some delicate work.
If you do any of that with gunpla you could use the vise, if you don't, then you don't need it.

Anon, if you've never had gold or silver paint fade you clearly dont have enough painting experience. It even happens frequently on prepainted figures.

Saying aluminum doesn't oxidize is also some high tier bullshit, aluminum blackening wouldn't be a thing in paints if not.

Notice how neither of those apply to hobby paints?

Show a picture of something that you yourself painted with a known hobby paint that oxidized, blackened, whitened, yellowed or greened over time or sftu and gtfo.

When doing weathering and battle damage, keep in mind that mobile suits are in the range of 16-22 meters in height (50-70 feet in Imperial), and let that inform you on the scale that the damage should be at. Other things you could do include covering up gaps with plastic plate (for example, the ammo drum has a huge void underneath that becomes super obvious if you look at it from below), small detail work (like painting those missiles on the leg a different color from the rest of the pod), and things like that.

Overall for a first paint job it looks really good.

Thank you, I spent all day on it, probably going to keep messing with it. I thought that the size I went for with the dremel was a pretty accurate size. Would you by chance have a guide I can follow on something like that, or just do that math and calculate it that way?

Also how would you recommend filling in gaps of plastic like that?

You need to look at the specific product.
I have Ustar ball vise, it's fine, I like it better because I don't have to use a separate key to open/close it. I also have Ustar CA glue station, it's superior to Dspiae imo.

As for the hand vise, in the Ustar hand vise the ball is in the vise so the range of motion is limited, while in the Dspiae vise the ball is in the handle so you can go as far as 90 degrees.
Ustar table vise has integrated PE bender thing, which also limits the range of motion.

Both Ustar and Dspiae vises are made of aluminum, except for one: Dspiae AT-TVA+B (on the left) which is solid steel. Now that thing is impressive, not gonna lie.

this is not true, many metallics use mica flakes instead. some even use other metals, for example vallejo liquid gold uses copper and zinc in addition to aluminum.

half the point of a hand vice is that it gives you a nice stable handle to pick up and reorient the object as you work on it.
mostly useful for handpainting so if you aren't going to do that or a lot of small scratchbuilding detail work you'll have little use for it in gunpla
