How the fuck has bandai not reprinted the Turn X? It's one of the most demanded reprints I've seen on numerous gunpla boards/forums/hobby stores. If they are worried about it collecting dust on a shelf because they think it won't sell, fuck, release it as a P.Bandai option. They've listed retail kits on P.Bandai in the past.

People claim there is no retirement. Thar Bandai keeps the molds. Which seems accurate as we've seen kits magically reprinted after 15+ years. As for an official decree, we've not seen one.

retired:
all LM kits (Sachiel, Daughtress, mini size Eva, Rockman kits)

all MG 1.0 that has a 2.0 or ver Ka, except for RX-78 which they usually reprint every 5 years to line up with Gundam or MG anniversary.

stuff that they dont bother to relicense (Halo Master Chief, Batman) or completely dead lines like MG Figurise (evolved to Figurise-Standard) or like Petitris (fucking retarded Bandai, no one wants to buy chibi FGO, just make Figurise Standard FGO girls)

otherwise, its a waiting game, since Turn X was reprinted this year, you might wait up to 5 years for a reprint or go to a Gundam Base where they reprint non-hot selling kits like MG Turn-X, The-O, FAZZ ver Ka.

Can you get good results with water based paints or does it have to be some hyperspecific japanaese toxic modelkit paint to make a good kit

Paint only really becomes an issue if you airbrush without a respirator and ventilation setup, or if you fuck around with the stronger thinners too much while hand painting. As for sanding, I haven't heard of anyone developing lung problems from sanding plastic (though resin is an entirely different matter) but again if you're worried just wear a regular face mask while sanding (no need for a respirator for that).

Because you're still within close range of the fumes and aerosolized paint particles as they're being generated (again, primarily in the case of airbrushing). They may eventually dissipate, but not before they could get into your lungs. Why take the risk?

And frankly, airbrushing in the open air can be risky in and of itself, because it increases the chances of stray dust particles winding up in your paint job. Yeah, the fumes will easily dissipate, but if your paint job can be easily ruined by an errant breeze then it defeats the entire point of painting.

Noob here trying to paint a 3D printed model. Since customs general is currently down, I figure you guys might know the answer to my question

Why is a primer paint needed to paint acrylic paint on top? I get that primer helps paint on top stick, but what makes primer paint stick to plastic while regular paint dont? Why people don't just make the actual basecoat paint with the same material as primer paint so one does not have to prime anymore.

Probably something you'd want to ask a chemist. But I'd assume that changing the composition of the paint to the point where it can stick to anything would compromise either the color or the type of finish you'd get.

Also, not all primer is paint, depending on the type of primer it can actually alter the surface of the object it's used to cover during the bonding process, such that stripping the primer wouldn't restore the object back to its original state. Pretty sure this is how lacquer primer works, at least.

>Why is a primer paint needed to paint acrylic paint on top
Because proper lacquer primer sticks to the surface of the UV resin, while acrylic paint basically doesn't (and neither does acrylic "primer").
But the main reason you want to prime your 3D print is to make sure the surface is properly prepared for painting, there are no visible layer lines or pieces of supports left unsanded. Unlike paint, primer fills the surface irregularities and helps you fix problems with the surface (on the flip side, too much primer can drown fine detail, so you need to be careful). You are going to prime, sand, prime again and probably sand and prime again before you are ready to paint you 3D print.

There's a decent bit of discussion on it in the previous thread. As a general rule, you don't want to spray where you eat, sleep, or where children or small animals can catch the fumes (doubly so for the latter since their fur can catch in your paint job). In your case, you could try getting a portable setup and using the bathroom when nobody needs to use it, bonus points for there being a ventilation fan already built into the room. You could also paint with acrylics, which have significantly less fumes and all you have to worry about is the aerosolized paint getting into your lungs.

Go for the HG if you must have an Aerial now. The FM is meh, ugly red chrome that looks dull and is no replacement for the new printing tech Bandai used in the HG. Proportions are wack on both, but I think the FM looks worse there too, the head looks squashed and it has no neck. Looks like Big Ed.

Just like Barbatos before it, the FM will eventually be seen as this outdated relic that nobody wants, while the HG and eventual MG will be the only ones that remain relevant. Cause you KNOW an MG is on the way considering how well WFM did.

The cheapest way to prevent plastic dust inhalation is wet sanding. Though, that could cause rusting if you're using metal files.

Not strictly Gunpla but what happened here? I painted this with Mr. Super Metallic Chrome Silver II and it was fine for months, but it's suddenly come out in these weird black spots. Thought it might be some kind of mould (a bit concerning but not impossible) but they aren't coming off at all. It almost looks like aluminium corrosion (t. worked in plane museum and have been around bare-metal skinned aircraft), which would be very weird given how suddenly they've appeared and this being paint, not pure metal.

Going to keep hoping that somewhere, I will find the kit for only a 100% mark up...

Also, still so glad it is the proper Huckebein MkIII and not the Exbein.

The show was nothing special and most places seem to forget it exists, but based on comments on /m/ you'd think the show runners killed some dogs and pissed in everyone's cereal.

That's half the issue, the other half is ever since Age aired (wow I'm old) there's been a need to ride a shitpost train as something was airing. Aquarion Evol, Eureka Seven AO, Valvrave, Nobunaga The Fool, Daimidaler, Aldnoah Zero, G-Reco and Fighters Try, Cross Ange, IBO, Knights and Magic, Build Divers...

Vidar should be excellent. It's a cool suit with cool gimmicks, and Barbatos was a great MG.

I'm not a Seed fan, but that torso gimmick in the Z'Gok is sweet. I really dig the gimmicks in this kit, like the damaged head piece that the MS inside can look out of. Feels like great bang for your buck too, with the extra torso, extra hands, and flight pack.

Typically I take a hobby knife to them. Cut a nice deep line around where I want the cut to be and it lets the nippers cut alot cleaner and more precise. Its essential to get the tip cut down deep though, but do get the sides and under side as well. You can just cut them down or clip them but this way is less likely to break them from my experience.

finished all the painting I'm going to be doing on my RG HI-NU. picrel, I ended up painting the funnels a very slightly different shade of blue because I ran out of the paint I used for all the other parts(I had previously bought out all the stock for that specific paint at my local hobby stores, so I couldn't get more). the funnel used Tamiya clear blue, and the other parts used Alclad hot metal blue. for getting about the same effect, the price-to-value ratio wasn't particularly worth it for the Alclad blue. I ended up going through 7 bottles of it, whereas i used way less Tamiya than I thought I would.
not pictured: painted the silver parts silver, and the gold parts gold.

Sandpaper isn't simply a situation of Yes/No, it matters what grit it is, you need an increasing gradient of grits from around 400 or so up to 2,000.

I just use a set of Chinesium glass files from Amazon, you have to clean them off every few pieces but they're pretty good at smoothing pieces down.

I just built the new 2.0 of RX 78-2 and, by god, what a shitty elbow articulation. The inner nubs are so soft that, from connecting it, they already got consumed. I tried to insert a pin to secure the articulation but the piece broke, so I had to glue it. The build itself is very nice and fun, but the plastic is TOO soft.

I've given up on HLJ. Haven't had a single backorder of any model line fulfilled in over 12 months other than 30MM multi cloth and I'm hoping they'll actually do what their emails say and cancel that order.
Recently I've been relying on Ebay. It's a little pricier but at least I can find stuff. Although, getting sniped in the last 5 seconds 40% of the time is pretty soul crushing. On the other hand there is a lot of limited edition or promotional kits in circulation so that is nice.

Bandai has been redistributing the stock that HLJ gets to other retailers. HLJ because it's a store in Japan, but mainly caters to foreigners has been called out by JP stores taking JP stock allocation but not supplying the JP market. The JP stores basically strong armed HLJ to be on the foreigner list which like the other countries gets smaller allocations, since HLJ is servicing other countries.

Fist of War as well as Rocket Models are both sub-brands of Modelcollect. As you can see the Fist of War box >>11137331 has both UAxxxx (Modelcollect) kit code and RMxxxx (Rocket Models) kit code.

I suspect there will be a pure Modelcollect UA72355 kit on Aliexpress with the exact same runners and decals but slightly cheaper.

Source? People have been spouting this shit since the day AmiAmi & Hobbysearch unlisted Bandai kits from their international storefronts, but the reason those 2 specifically got asked to do so was the lack of any anti-scalper measures. Both of those sites would let botting scalpers scoop up the majority of their stock without a care.

If that's the case I'm surprised it took this long. I thought HLJ got away with it initially BECAUSE they basically only sell to overseas. Nobody in japan buys from HLJ. So for Bandai's reasoning of knowing the % of sales to different markets HLJ is different from Ami or HS who sells well for both markets. I thought that was why HLJ didn't lose Bandai kits so it's weird to have a delayed and partial reaction, not a full stop.

HLJ has always been pretty good about restricting # of units going to a single address/account. They also used to require a captcha before checkout to stop bots, the others have nothing of the sort.

HLJ is absolutely still considered a Japanese store. If they were considered a foreign shop they wouldn't get stock allocated at jp release date and those Bandai items wouldn't be the jp releases. Bandai goes out of their way to mark when a release is for a specific region.

I wonder how long it will take for a third party clear blue runner to hit the market. That's all I want, I don't care about green or red or any of that shit.

>>11140308
Yeah, it's for saving durability. If you have a good nipper for flush-cutting the nub from the piece, you want it to last as long as possible, and cutting the thick part of the runner can quickly wear down the blade and make it perform poorly for the flush-cutting part. So you use shitty nippers for the thick cut and the good nippers for the flush cut.

Other thing to keep in mind is that while the part is still on the runner it's under stress from every direction, so flush-cutting straight from the runner can transfer that stress directly into the cut. That's why it's suggested to make two cuts, one to separate the part from the runner and a second once it's free from the runner.

I hobby knife and then glass file the part after cutting anyways, and then paint afterward, so good nippers don't matter to me.

Cut the part off the runner with a dirt cheap, beefy two-bladed type, then cut the nubs off the part with a fancy delicate single-bladed one. It mainly saves time on nub cleanup, as you're left with a cleaner part that requires less knife/sanding work afterwards.

Yes, you can. If you cut properly, it won't actually dull the blades all that much, and you don't really need to make 2 cuts if the part is flat where it connects to the runner and you don't care about the stress (i.e. if you are painting).

At this point I'm using my 10yo SPN-120 for all cuts except extra delicate ones (where I use my brand new SPN-120).

it's not so much to do with durability but total breakage.
expensive nippers are sharper
but to achieve that sharp edge they need to grind down harder metal
but harder metal is also more brittle
more brittle means that when over-stressed the edge will skip being dulled and go straight to breakage
That's just how metallurgy works it can't be helped shouganai such is life.

Is this possible straight out of the box or do I need other kits to make it work? I feel like it won't work but on the other hand it's all 30mm so it should right?

You can do it, but if you're hoping for Quelaag it'll probably look rather silly, the entire spider including the legs is only slightly bigger than the palm of a hand. It'll have more of a guntank kind of appearance if anything.

There's 3mm holes on the top of the spider and the Acerby waist is a 3mm peg

So I want to order new kits and I consider just grabbing a set of sanding sticks too to try out if sanding is something I actually want to do. The sticks have these grits
>1000
>600
>400
>240
>100
>60
Would you say that's okay or is it lacking something important? I would only use it on HG kits if that makes a difference..

Personally I wouldn't bother with the bottom three grits and I'd have some finer ones instead.

I'd drop the 60/100 and put in a little more work with the knife instead. Also maybe add a 1500 or 2000 grit sanding sponge if you're planning to leave things as bare plastic.
