==ZAKU GROUPBUILD==

Build and customize a mobile suit from the Zaku family in any way you can imagine! Any suit that has the word "Zaku" in its name is fair game, meaning you can use any of the following:
>Standard UC Zakus such as the Zaku I or Zaku II
>Variants such as the Act Zaku, Desert Zaku, Zaku Tank, etc
>ZAKU Warriors and their variants from the Cosmic Era
>SD Zakus
This means you cannot use the following for the main part of your build
>Other Zeon/ZAFT mobile suits (ie: Goufs, Gelgoogs, GINNs)
>Zaku expies from the Universal Century (HiZack, Geara Doga, Den'an Zon, etc)
>Zaku equivalents from other Gundam timelines (Leos, Grazes, Borjanons, etc)
You can still source parts from other kits for your builds, but the basis of your entry has to be at least 50% Zaku (ie: Swapping out the bottom half of a Zaku II with a Dom to make a Zaku II High Mobility Test Type would be acceptable, but throwing a Zaku head onto a Dom won't cut it). The 50% limitation refers only to the body itself, you're free to do what you wish with your suit's equipment.

Send all photos (Both WIPs and Finished photos, with multiple angles/poses) and a short description of your build to [email protected] once you're finished. Additionally, please state whether your home board is /m/ or /toy/ when you're submitting your entry. This information will remain private and won't be referenced with submissions, I just want to know which /gpg/ each entry represents.

Think I'm safe considers the head, feet, skirt + piping, and shoulder and upper arm are all from the zaku II. Its also going to have a zaku green colorscheme and I'm puttying and rounding some of the more jagged parts to fit better with the zaku parts.

I vaguely recall the organiser saying something about using non-Zaku parts but modifying them to look like a Zaku being okay. May just be fiction though. I think the 50% is more of a guide.

It depends on the context the word is used in. Could mean "straightening up" as in "straightening up the collection by selling off extra items" or it could mean "repair" as in "this is junk that can be used for repair or making customs".

Relying on automated translation is a risky business when spending money is involved.

The "repair" bit pertains to rank J, that is listed with the rest.

its generally a straight forward build. especially since the frame is already built for you.
some parts can be a bit annoying though because of how they do the part separation/detail. something that looks like should just be like 3 parts to complete would be like 8 small pieces.
exaggerating a bit but you get the idea.

Melee weapons like swords and axes could get beat up, shins/pauldrons/arms if close range combat is appicable, mud/dust/rain streaks if it's a ground type.

But generally, yes, it's not much and at 1/144 the regular wear and tear on well-maintained machine is near invisible.

Wouldn't the back of the knee be a high-contact point? There's always a lot of emphasis on battle damage but I feel like people neglect typical wear and tear. Any point of contact between movable armor plating and inner frame would have light wear, as well as folding collision points near joints.

here's a man walking through mud. back of the knee looks pristine.

a robot that's 10x taller is going to have a lot less at the boots. back of the knee? even less.

if there's a contact point, it'd probably be the high points of the calves and thighs, but that's only if someone is retarded and allows the machine to reach that point inthe first place.

Is the HGAC Maganac a good "baby's first model kit" ? I want something that offers a decent degree of articulation, while also being fun to build (and possibly paint), like, I want something that'll look cool on a shelf but is also fun to pose and play with once in a while.

Welp, I completed the Daban MG RX-78-2 ver 3.

it was miserable. bad fit everywhere, inaccuries everywhere. Daban's worst effort, which is weird since they released Hi-Nu first and it was really good, but this one is just shit. the 3.0 hands here are completely useless. Daban Hyaku Shiki and Rezel is still their best effort.

Anyway, for the design itself, I think its over-engineered but most of it is kinda pointless. the color-parts separation is cool looking but being them part of the frame sucked. Also the joints are unnecessarily complex.

Kinda liked building it, maybe the Daban is the only problem here, so I have to ask who owns legit Bandai 3.0, is it worth it or its ok to pass on it?

Why would a chisel fit a hobby blade? Chisels normally come with their own handles.

As for scribing, you need a pencil, a ruler, some dymo tape and a chisel (or at least an awl).

ZZ Gundam is made by AA Model, don't know if its the name Daban is using right now though.

Anyway, the KO ZZ is pretty good, around 95% accuracy, with thighter fit than the Bandai (which is good if you only want it in MS mode). But the parts are not interchangeable between the Bandai and the KO one

Is that an enamel based paint? If so then do a quick topcoat because the liner will eat into your paint job.
For the leg and arm parts highlighted, if those are separate parts that are sandwiched together, consider gluing them together or separating and topcoating the parts that contact the other to protect from the thinner.
For the helm spots, just be careful with letting the liner pool by the edges.

The panel liner is really thinned enamel paint.
Enamel thinner eats into plastics and also washes away paint if it isn't protected. This is why guides tell you to use acrylics, lacquers, and enamels in layers because it let's you work faster.

How a siphon feed airbrush works is by relying the air pressure to 'pull' the paint up and out from the jar hanging underneath, so you need a little bit more air pressure for this alone, and sometimes it could lead to inconsistent spray pattern.
And you won't need that much of a paint if you're working with small scale miniatures and model kits, gravity feed is also easier to work with in general. I have both and I only use siphon for large scale painting of big props like helmets and such.

Panel liner like yours will try and go into any crevice it can (like it's designed to) and overexposure to plastics will cause the kit to become brittle and/or break.
I'm eventually planning on having a buddy 3D print me a replacement and paint the entire kit but I need to finish my backlog first.

I thought it only seeps into the plastic where stress is/was present?
your picture seems to suggest the same because of the peg it's on, if those parts weren't stressed there wouldn't be any stressed plastic for the enamel thinner to further weaken.

Inserting a peg into a hole always stresses the plastic (both sides) unless you drilled out the hole or sanded down the peg so that it falls out of the hole.

The stress marks tend to be easier for the thinner to effect. As others noted the thinner will make the plastic brittle the longer it is in contact. It will eat away at poly caps and the softer plastic that is used on hands. Best to seal up seam lines before applying.

As far as paint goes, the thinner used for clean up will harm enamel paints so it is better to use a gloss coat before applying panel liners. Cant rub the panel liner off like on bare plastic so need to use thinner to clean up excess. Even then go light on the thinners, and having an even top coat that isnt over sprayed is key or the panel lines will just get leveled with the overspray.

Bandai factors in long-term profit into making it's molds affordable, which is why it's the brand that dominants the market. And that in turn lets the sets be even cheaper- unless they're P-Bandai of course.

It's smart but stifles the hobby on the whole, imo. Kotobukiya kits are the shit. If Bandai mech designers had even a fraction of the aesthetics as Yoji Shinkawa, we'd be in paradise.

Got all 4 limb extensions securely attached. I also added kneecaps, the base of the backpack I'm going to build the weapon mounts on, and I used some of the leg piping to play with the length of the waist piping which still needs some adjustment. I'm debating on whether to add sode skirts or not as they look weird in its "core" form.

There's obviously still a mountain of cleanup to do but the basic form is there now at least.

Use an acrylic clear gloss coat and you'll be fine. The enamel wash should be safe if it's applied in reasonable amounts- but be very careful when cleaning up the excess. I use lighter fluid to clean up because it's weaker than straight enamel thinner.

Yeah, nipper was the main issue, as for the knife I used a normal sized cutter it worked fine but it was quite troublesome for the smallest parts.
Is sanding that necessary? I had a nail file ready but never felt the need to use it, also for the fear of scratching too much the part.
A thing I missed greatly are the tweezers actually, applying stickers is a pain, especially the smaller ones, especially detaching them from the sheet without scratching their surface
Budget is not an issue, I avoided getting them before in case I wouldn't enjoy the thing and didn't want to use them just for one thing.

For how much? It's hard to find one here and it costs as close to regular MG which is a big turn off, but I still want one, looks cute

Not really looking to spend that much. Anything of middle quality that can do the job? Maybe a pair of single-blade cutters. I've heard that double blade cutters cause more stress on the plastic.

I should point out that the website for the store doesn't carry Tamotu. You'd have to go to a physical location.

cheap ass glass nail file has been working nicely for me, but I do paint every kit so a few blemishes are no problem

I had no idea Hobby Town was carrying these—and at such a good price.
Might have to check for the white reissue, but so far the only one I haven’t gotten from hlj is the clear one.
