==MELEE GROUPBUILD==

Build/paint a robot with a loadout focused on melee combat! Anything from shields to swords to lances to axes to bare fists is fair game. There's no room for ranged weaponry here, however, so anything resembling a rifle, rocket launcher, cannon, pistol, or any other ranged weapon is a no-go (Small ranged weapons that are built into the kit itself like head vulcans are ok, however).

More clarification here:
>If the body part has a built-in ranged weapon (head/chest vulcans, claw beams, etc), then that's fine. If it's a separate part like the Alex's arm vulcans it's best to leave those off.
>Melee weapons with in-universe ranged capabilities (Like the Kimaris's lance or the Gyan's shield) are fair game too.
>Any scale, any brand, and any type of kit is fair game here. That means anything from Gundams to girlpla to miniatures are all free to use.

Send your entries to [email protected] with at least 5 photos of your finished build along with any WIP photos and a description of your entry.

While possible, unless you already own the necessary equipment, sharpening the nippers to the same level of precision they had when they came out of the factory is going to cost you an equivalent of many pairs of said nippers.

>change your godhand every 3 years
With careful use your nippers should last a lot longer than that.

Same. It DOES come with a lot of shit, though. Reflectors with stands, an action base 4, alt damaged head, 12 fucking beam sabers (10 for fingers 2 for wrist), effects wire for extendo arms, and then presumably better engineering like actual color separation they show off in pic. Should it be double the price? Probably not, but it's the year 2020 +5 so rape is expected. The old kit was a lot of fun to build, so I'm looking forward to this one.

Again.

Building JMS Gundam MKII "21st Century Real Type" colors.
When I took this out of the box I honestly didn't even think it was a real color variation, I thought it was some cool shit JMS had cooked up like with some of their GM Spartan variations. As you might guess I don't know much about Zeta.

The plastic feels nice, I could probably mistake this for real bandai plastic.

no that's really how it comes out of the box
no safety flags nothing

I think it might be a change made by JMS when they bootlegged it? I looked up some reviews of the official HG MkII Revive and some have safety flags and some don't.

the joints are mostly fine, some of them are a bit loose (mainly swivel joints like the neck and the backskirt bazooka holder) so I tightened those with matte varnish

Alclad aqua gloss. I was using it as a protective coat so I could mask and paint the next color on the part and it had been sitting to dry and cure for about 5 days before spraying the tamiya on.

I don't think you're supposed to use that on anything other than Alclad metallic coats. And it's the only clear coat I know that can wreck an airbrush if not cleaned properly.

I still have a couple outstanding USAGS orders that have been delayed several times, a bunch of 00 HG kits and assorted other stuff. Also a few P-Bandai orders, though I'm also waiting for their May catalog to fully list because I don't want to spend $10 shipping on a single P Mission Pack.

If we're talking about to-be-released kits, I don't usually keep track of that stuff, but I'm still looking for an opportunity to order the Rosado Project Star Lily. It's the first girlpla I've ever considered buying.

Though admittedly, I did buy the full HG Aerial lineup (along with every single option available) and have a GN Archer on order.

Outside of that, there are some Zoids kits getting reprinted. Namely, the Liger Zero + armors and I'm torn because I don't think I can justify buying 4 of them in one shot and idk that just the armor parts are worth $40 or whatever they're are.

There's no way they do it. At best we'd get MagnaGarurumon and then Susanoomon, which is probably for the best. None of them deserve to have their designs compromised for the sake of the gimmick. Magna and Kaiser/Emperor are also great standalone designs, though I kind of doubt we see the former.

i read on a modeling forum that this kind of crazing happens when an acrylic topcoat fully cures too much faster than the acrylic paint layer underneath, mainly by using water based acrylic clears over freshly painted alcohol-based acrylic. you can avoid it by waiting a day or so for the tamiya acrylics to fully cure before topcoating (or just use an alcohol based brand for topcoat instead)

Nobody buys already-built Gunpla. And even if they did, it would be at a severe discount because why wouldn't they just buy an unopened kit for cheaper that's guaranteed to have all the parts?

The only one you might be able to sell is the Turn A, and only because it's only partially built and is a pretty sought-after MG.

Try selling the lot for about 30% less than what they be new in box and go from there,be ready to go as low as 50%. as already stated you are not going to find a sizable market interested in it, lot or not.

> I do I know people buy built kits for kitbashing.
true but even those of us who enjoy that would sooner just buy a new kit, they reprint almost everything so often that it's hard to convince someone t buy parts they will have to take apart putting more stress in already assembled kits.

Most RG kits are fine, there are a handful that you might want to avoid if you can (things like the Aile Strike, Sinanju and Akatsuki). The "rule of thumb" is that most kits from the Unicorn onward are excellent, but you generally won't be screwed over by any RG kit.

HGUC kits tend to have bad motion range in the early days (as in, arms that can't bend past 90 degrees, worse if it's a transforming/partsforming kit), but older kits are also usually cheaper. If a kit looks suspiciously cheap, check the year of release (though newer grunts like the Leo tend to be very reasonably priced because people build armies out of them).

For MG kits, this is entirely personal opinion but if it's made before 2006 I would be very cautious about buying it unless it's literally the only way to own that kit. But I say this as someone who's had the original 1996 Zeta, 1999 Alex and 1999 ZZ. Those things either wouldn't transform properly, or required metal screws and rubber sleeves on the joints, or had the motion range of a brick, or all of the above.

So, as the other anon pointed out, newer kits generally come with better engineering, though this isn't a hard and fast rule (some early kits have engineering ahead of their time, while some later kits are obvious cash grabs that cut corners and as a result are sub-par products). If you have the ability to, go to Dalong and look at reviews of a kit you're interested in (use Google Lens on your phone to translate, since using your browser's translate feature might not work all the time). The pictures show you the kit's motion range, what the flaws are, where it needs better color correction, things like that. Though keep in mind that his reviews are written around when the kit released, so his standards tend to improve over time.

There's an anon who has already purchased the Daban knockoff and intends to buy the official reprint to compare them. Frankly, I don't think the official kit is worth the asking price so I would probably buy the knockoff instead. Even if it is a crappy knockoff that requires extra work to make look good, you'll be paying probably a third of the asking price.

Honestly, I feel that a big reason we haven't gotten one is because Bandai has fallen for the sunk cost fallacy. The kit was dogshit and sold poorly, to the point where it's possible that they only barely made back what they spent in development costs and manufacturing the mold itself in those early years. So they banished it it to the "rarely ever reprinted" shadow realm in an attempt to create artificial scarcity, hoping that would drive up demand. Which, ironically, is being cut into by Daban and their bootlegs because of said artificial scarcity.

The other problem is that it's one of those wonky Gryps-era designs that just looks so toy-etic. So the odds of a Ver. 2.0 are not very likely, at least not before we get remasters of Qubeley and such.

I'll believe it when I see an official press release, even if it was the most expected announcement for the next PG (F91 and ZZ were the other ones I would have bet on). But given that the only PG I own right now is the Unicorn, adding this to my ever-growing box castle would be quite excellent.

Man, P-Bandai is nice when you're ordering a bunch of stuff each month, but fucking sucks when there's only one thing and you don't want to pay like 40% of the cost of the kit in shipping.

The traditional customer segment for MG kits in Japan is getting too old to have time to build kits but with slot more money to spend, so banai is selling premium diecast figure to them like metal build instead. That being said bandai do reprint fairly often so you have alot of old kits to chose from.

It's mostly only a problem if you want an MG from a newer show, due to the slow pace of releases. The older a show is, the more likely it is to have had multiple MG kits made for it (as well as updated MG kits), though you also want to be careful about getting MG kits made before 2005-06 since the engineering isn't that great by comparison.

I can only imagine that they're going to lean more towards designs that also appeared in the movie (which I haven't watched).

I used to be a "I only ever buy kits from shows I like and piloted by characters I like" guy, but then I ultimately realized that it's not the fault of the mechanical designer if the show's director did a shitty job. My attitude has mellowed out and I now mostly buy kits if I like how they look and if they get reviewed well, though I will still put preference on shows and characters I like.

I don't own any Sneed, 00, AGE kits because I found myself unable to get into those settings. The majority of kits I own are early UC, Mobile Fighter G Gundam, IBO and G-Witch (for the last one I didn't really enjoy the series but I did like the mechs). I don't own any modern Wing kits, although I have considered getting the P-Bandai Mercurius and Vayette set. Every day I stray closer to the AoZ abyss, and I really wish that there were more CDA kits.

I've never had trouble filing my nubs down to flat using a basic Chinesium glass file. But then again, I enjoy the building process so I don't mind taking my time on it. I'm sure that the circular files can give you the same results faster, but I've never tried them myself.

For the most part I am. I like Digimon, Dragonball, pokemon but like you I haven't watched Gundam in years. I just like the mech designs.

I kind of want to watch Unicorn though just because I like Unicorn and Banshee.
I need to finish watching G Gundam though, I actually was enjoying that but things happened while I was watching it and I never got back to it.

Aside from some G kits, I own mostly shit from 79 and Zeta, actually, though currently have the RG Nu on my desk I need to finish. I genuinely don't like the look of most of the gundams after that especially once they started going the weird noodle look after Witch. I'm still torn on the Ariel, but I think it's growing on me. I don't have any wing yet, but I probably will eventually.

it is marginally better than an $8 dspiae siren or a $1 no-name glass nano file off aliexpress.
i think anons who have multiple have said they need to clean dust out of it less often when sanding.
probably not worth the extra 22-29 dollars

Honestly, cleaning dust off of the file isn't even a huge deal, just have a roll of masking tape on hand and use it to stick off the dust every now and then. I don't think it's worth using water and a toothbrush, since that just creates a huge mess to clean up.

Thanks, i'll skip out on it than. I havent used glass files much on gunplay before but ive seen so much jerk off to it than I cant tell if im being played.

Also has anyone used this before? I bought it to fix some kits but from what I understand the instructions are;
1. Shake
2. Press down on tip
3. apply the coat(s) to dry for 5-whatever mins
4. Cap the pen after use
I just wanna know if i have to do anything special ton stop the flow of the chemicals outside of capping the pen.

I would ask the /m/ thread but that seems like shitpost central where it would be lost there. You guys actually answer my questions instead of whatever nonsense they do.

The way those pens works is when you press down on the tip it retracts which lets the liquid out so you just have to cap it.

>>11347721
I like mine over a Dspiae. Smaller profile and its not as aggressive so I find it easier to actually sand the nubs and not the plastic around it too. A quick wipe on your pants or a microfiber cloth is all thats needed to clean it and even then you gotta be doing tons of sanding with it to reach that point. I don't care for the new versions of it though as the profile is just too wide for simple nub removal.

http://www.dalong.net/reviews/etc/egx01/egx01.htm

The Workshop Version is significantly more basic than the EG. The skirt piece is effectively solid so you can only bend the hips slightly, the knees only bend 90 degrees, the waist can't tilt at all, and the arms have very basic motion range. It also only comes with a single Beam Rifle, no shield or bazooka. In other words, it has even less motion range than a 90s NG 1/144 kit.

Which, again, is perfectly fine, since these things are basically Free Samples that everyone can build for free at a Gundam Base.

I genuinely don't know the size of the box. It's a couple of HMM zoid kits (Firefox and Berserk Fuhrer). I'm assuming they're roughly MG sized? Never had one, so I don't know. Likewise, I don't know the shipping options because I wasn't presented with them.
