==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.

looks to me like your airbrush is clogged because of the spotty spray, does paint have any issue coming out at low PSI and paintflow as well? because if it does then that's the problem, keep that in mind in the future because that happens to me occasionally when I try to thin paint inside my airbrush via shooting air up my cup.
but yeah decently thinned paint is good and don't let any goupy paint into your airbrush channels, it fucking sucks.

hmmm much cleaner than I expected which is weird because last time my airbrush ended up doing paint application like yours it was, like you said looking like it had been dipped in jar of tar, yours just looks like a normally used needle after a session.
spraying closer isn't going to fix the spotty spots since it's an indication that your airbrush isn't spraying consistently diffused and smoothly but I hope thinning the paint fixes it for you.

Do I just need to learn to deal with minor imperfections like these?

For some reasons me using masking tape will always have part of the paint pulled along with it. Anyway to avoid this?

Some say you should cut a line between the tape and the painting area so the paint can break at the razor line. But I never see any of Japanese model channel do this.

I've been looking at a lot of builders on twitter and it's actually quite rare for me to see completely smooth finishes on painted builds. I haven't started painting myself yet because it's still too humid here so I'm wondering, is it impossible to paint kits without a bit of texture or can you get your paint completely flat with enough thinner + time and patience?

I'd say replace a nozzle and only upgrade when you got tired of neo, not when you ruined it. Because ruining a better airbrush would just cost you more.

Yeah but what about Okawara's designs do you like? See, the thing is that almost all the gunpla kits in the last 20 years have their proportions and aesthetics reworked by the younger mecha designers (Katoki, Ebikawa, NAOKI, etc), so if you're after Okawara's stout and tank-like aesthetics specifically then it's hard to find that among the Gunpla, even when it's a kit based on his designs.

If you just like their simplicity regardless of aesthetics then to answer >>9349996 you could probably find some IBO or AGE designs you'd like.

There's so many kits and designs I'd just browse around and get the robots you think are cool. I realised after a while that besides the Full Armor Gundam and Stormbringer, I only like the Zeon MS. I also find a lot of the newer designs are unappealing.

Even just looking at UC and early generations/time line Gundam there's enough good kits to choose from to keep you going for a long time. You can also get into resin conversion kits that are particularly nice. Zaku II 2.0 is my favourite kit, you might be like me and love the Thunderbolt designs, Ver. KA kits are also pretty nice. Converting the really old kits might be your thing if you really want the old anime look.

Bandai is fucking retarded and always have been. They never make decisions that make sense to the customers. They have always failed to meet demand when they have a hot item like gunpla, going way back to the 90s power rangers toys. Bandai has an inability to get product to shelves when they can make the most money. As for deciding what kit is made next, Im pretty sure they just throw a dart at a wall of gundam pictures while blindfolded and go from there.

The problem with the RE1/100 is that it is basically a line for the MG they already have prototype and just too chickenshit to release. But the MG line is already scraping the bottom of the barrel

They already have a MG Leo shown back then.
The GM Sniper 2 became an MG because it already uses 80% of Gundam Ver 2 parts, Jegan is just to level out with the MG Geara Doga.

what should i use to cut parts? i just built a geara zulu for my 3rd kit and want to separate the front skirt into 2 parts for better posing, looks like it should be as simple as cutting it in half because of how the joint is made

i assume some sort of saw is the best way. should i just grab a small regular everyday hacksaw from the hardware store?
i also considered heating up an old hobby knife blade with a lighter and melt-cutting it but i'm not sure whether that would accidentally melt too much and destroy the part

It's not really a matter of care, if the blade is inside the piece and you are just a bit off the initial angle the blade gets stuck and bends where a normal saw blade would just spring back.
They are okay for scribing lines and some light duty cutting, but nothing more than that.

Is the RG Aile Strike worth it? It's a design I like but have never had even in figure form and I'd like to scratch the gunpla bug that's come back to me. I know more modern RGs are great but for some reason not in the mood for Nu/Hi-Nu, Sazabi, any Wing suit or Red Frame (all suits I like normally).

I loved my Mk-II RG when I had it, the GP-01 Fb as a big disappointment with the core fighter and I haven't really built since then. I'd consider a cheaper master grade if there's a decent option. Was always intrigued by the 3.0 RX-78 but that's like twice as much as the Aile Strike. The only MG I've ever built was the AGE-2 Double Bullet and I've understood the AGE MGs were kind of dumbed down. I love Sentinel and AoT. I like Wing, 00, UC and its side materials (except late and ZZ), especially OVAs. Other AUs I only like a select amount of designs from.

What's his deal? Within the past couple years his arms have looked increasingly like that of a tranny yet he maintains a masculine Irish inflection. I don't really have an issue with it since it's purely a visual aspect and his reviews are still enjoyable enough, but surely there is some backstory to this change.

GK master race here. You need Apoxie Sculpt or similar. Not filler. Your putty is fine. This is user error. You’re using filler meant for surface prep to try to effectively create new protruding detail. Of course that fails. The desirable qualities of your putty work against that. You need actual sculpting material. And to make sure that material adheres to the area first.
You aren’t filling a hole, you’re building a corner. That’s sculpting. Get sculpting material. You may be able to get by with 2 part hardware store plumber’s epoxy putty like JB Water Weld but it’s tricky to work with. But you can sculpt a whole new piece out of that and cast copies. It will fix a corner ez.

No, that's building a corner. It's basic scratchbuilding, sculptor-kun.

Take 2 pieces of 1mm plaplate and glue them together at the required angle. The result will be much lighter and easier to work with.

No, no. I don't even own any filler yet because I still do that with either plastic cement putty or kneadatite, something similar to JB Water Weld.
I have plenty of sculpting material, the issue is that I started this project with a type of putty that is kind of difficult to retouch and is not always at its best quality. I tried bathing it in water mixed with alcohol, since alcohol made it stickier and easier to work with, but sometimes it just becomes rubbery, hard to cure, slippery, and brittle when cured and I have no way to predict when that will happen until I mix the putty.

I also have regular epoxy but the type I have feels sort of brittle, so I don't want to use it unless it's for details and I have no idea how well it will stick to this other putty and I honestly don't feel like testing it, though I might just have to.
It's tiring to be able to only work about a half hour a day on a project because of the materials I'm using.

Cutting mats protect your desk from whatever you're doing on top of it. That includes spills, cuts, dropped tools, brushes etc etc. Refinishing the desktop is a pain even if it's not fine furniture. Replacing a mat is easier (although I still haven't replace mine).

Buying a cutting mat by DSPIAE(TM) is pointless, that I agree with.

reviews make marginal sense when there are multiple kits of the same subject by different manufacturers so you can choose "the best"

watching reviews of kits made exclusively by a sole manufacturer (bandai) is dumb, unless you are one of those weaklings who gives up on a subject entirely because its kit "sucks"

but you are not *that* weak, are you anon?

the reason people for the most part don't scratchbuild their own kits is because proportions, detail and construction is difficult to get down right.
fixing bandai "manufacturer mistakes" usually just means tightening joints or cementing something, I think when buying a kit the general appearance, molding and proportions is much more important than how "stable" a kit is but that's just me. a lot of people just refuse to buy kits of great designs because "the kit is bad" according to some reviewer who only bases his review on how easy it is to assemble and that's sad but that's besides the point.

Kneadatite is going to be rubbery, aways. I have handled miniatures made of it that wee a decade old (prototypes from Heroclix and Warhammer) and they’re never not rubbery. There is “brown stuff” though that is like green stuff but, well, guess. And it hardens much more and is suited for filing and carving to make things like swords and machine parts. Geometric shapes. Maybe try that. The old skool minis sculptors used everything but mainly green stuff, brown stuff and plumber’s putty (JB water weld in the US was most common). Even things like the pre-digital sculpting Battlemechs were mostly brown stuff. And since they had to work fast to make gaming industry deadlines, they baked them under light bulbs. This would be dangerous with a plastic toy. I melted He-Mans on light bulbs for battle damage as a kid, good times. But anyway you just basically use a coffee can or metal lampshade (like clip on lamps for reptile tanks) to bake it with a light bulb. It’s how all old miniatures were made and it’s still used sometimes.
But like I said be super careful about doing this with a plastic toy involved, they won’t hold up like the putty does to heat.

Do you have access to liquid mask? If so, replace the whatever you put there with it. Better yet, if you have thin masking tape (0.5-0.7mm), use it for the outlines of the mask and fill the rest with liquid.
Problem with the sicky tack etc masking is that it doesn't go 100% flat to the surface (unless you really put in effort) and as a result the lines will be fuzzy and the fuzziness will not be uniform.

Right now, though, I kept adding more of it, some of it is the older and shittier putty as a test, and will try sanding it down tomorrow or the day after. Hopefully it will work.

Honestly topcoating is pretty damn simple and makes a world of difference, just watch a few vids and avoid Testors because it sucks. If your gonna do anything else to your kit besides snapping it, topcoat is 100% the way to go. You will be damn pleased with the results (as long as you dont screw it up) Mr super clear flat works great. For me its always part of the build process because of the difference it makes. Dont be a pussy

Well I've done my first plastic model in years. And the third one I've ever attempted. The first two were nubby disasters because I used scissors to cut the runners like a retard. This time I bought some basic tools, a pair of cutters and an x-acto knife set. Didn't really get much use out of the knife set, my hand's a little too unsteady for trying to remove nubs with one. But the cutters did well enough. It was a learning curve, too, had to figure out how to hold the nubs as I cut them down so they wouldn't fly all over. I really should get a file or something to sand them down, heard there were some specialty files that are good.

So my third ever build was Reboot Omegamon. The earlier one, not the Amplified version. Would you believe me if I told you I sat on this kit for more than four years? Took me that long for my ADHD ass to get around to getting some tools. I didn't paint because I'm a pleb and probably would have fucked it up, but I'm surprised how well the stickers came out. Tweezers are better than my hand. All in all, it was a six hour build account for the short break I took for dinner. It was fun, but also kinda exhausting. Not sure how I'm gonna handle Machinedramon, probably best to pace myself.

Sadly I don't have any pictures, as I have no phone to take them with. It's not anything special, anyways. I love this kit but also hate it, the joints are frighteningly tight and the WarGreymon mouth refuses to close all the way. Is this a common issue with the kit? My overall experience was "this isn't so bad, I don't know why anyone shits on this kit" and then it's literally all downhill the moment I get to the WarGreymon head. Goddamn. Cutting the nubs off of it was super awkward too, thanks to the angles. Does look really, really fucking cool, though.

In that case, why not just free-hand it with a 0.2mm?
The camo edges on the bird in question are nearly crisp though.

Masking can take literally days. That said, the more you do it, the faster you get. I could probably mask that thing in 3 hours or so.

My hands aren't the steadiest, so I'm looking for something sturdy that won't loosen the blades while working, which is a complaint I've read a lot. It also wouldn't hurt if it's easy to grip.
A dude suggested this tacicool looking shit, but a retractable blade isn't such a bad idea anyway.

Just got back from 2 near me and all they had was the Team America one, was hoping for the Barbataurus but no dice. However, not sure if its been brought up but Hobby Lobby has the HG Bael now. Kinda whatever on the Bael, but for 14 bucks I figured why not. Also heres hoping they keep expanding there selection, because my store sells them like hotcakes

First tip is stop talking like an edgy tool to try and fit in.
Second tip is try pour types, or if you're desperate you can actually get the Gundam Markers to pour a bit of excess ink if you apply enough pressure but that might fuck up the tip so maybe use older ones for that if you have more than one.
