Quoted By:

==GM GROUPBUILD==

Build and customize a mobile suit from the GM family of mobile suits in any way you can imagine! That means any suit that either has "GM" in the name or in its model number is A-OK to use. This includes
>Normal OYW GMs and their variants (ie. Sniper, Cannon, Interceptor)
>Post-OYW GMs like the Powered GM or GM Quel
>GM II/GM IIIs
>Suits from the RGM family of suits (Jegans, Jestas, Heavyguns, Jamesguns, Javelins)
>SD GMs
Conversely, this excludes:
>UC suits without the RGM model number (ie: Nemo (MSA-003), Gun Blastor (LM111E03))
>GM equivalents from other Gundam timelines (Daughtress, Windam, Adele, etc)
You can still source parts from other kits for your builds, but the basis of your entry has to be at least 50% GM when it comes to the original parts used. 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.

START - 11/1/21
END - 2/28/21

I always though the Go Getter Robo was the least impressive of the SDCS non-gundam line. It requires a lot of stickers or painting, the hands are the worst in the line, the feet are hollow on the bottom and the wings are hard to pose without falling out.

You don't normally use a topcoat over high quality metallics because it will make them look worse. If your metallics are regular glittery crap though then who cares, any topcoat will work just as well.

ooooh shit.... might work for 1:18

or not, if accurate to this art. very tight fit for 1:20 figures and impossible for 1:18.

As for 1/24, it'll be oversized. It'll look like Spiral Zone's cannon monobikes instead of the compact Venus Wars stuff.
Look around for the McFarlane Warthog with GI Joes inside of it to get a better idea, since McFarlane's Halo line was basically 1:14 and GI Joe was 1:18.

Id invest in a hobby knife for nub removal. Sanding is easy to over do and if your not painting it then its really gonna stand out. Just use a sharp, fresh blade when you do it. And you will bleed which is ok, its a blood sacrifice to the gunpla gods, it appease them. Many good builds will follow

Extra Thin Quick Setting cement is great, especially for extra small parts because it evaporates quickly and doesn't melt them.

One thing to be aware of is that Quick Setting cement doesn't like stressed plastic. If you put it in a tight peg/hole connection and the plastic is thin enough, the hole part will crack, same way as with enamel thinner.

So uhhh does everyone else just put empty runners/spare hands/extra parts et all back in the box? Like as soon as a runner is empty I just drop
it into the box and close it up with em all im there when done. Just me or is that common practice?

You should hold onto a few spare runners of different thicknesses if you do kitbashing, but you really don't need to keep every single box from each kit you make. Really you'll only need like 2 HG/1 MG box to hold any spare parts/hands that you come across.

Does anyone else despise the forward-facing polycap ball ab crunch in HGs? It just comes apart so easily. If it's not outright pulling apart, it at least partially pulls out, making the ab crunch feel loose and floppy.

It's a terribly thought-out joint. If Bandai wanted to do this, all they needed was a stopper to keep the polycap seated within the chest permanently--then you would be relying on the strength of the ab peg to stay together instead, which is a much stronger connection.

CBA to dig up my supplier right now, the seller often uses medium blue background ls for their vials. If the jars have got plastic liners in the lids they'll probably be fine, even for lacquers. I tested some after I got them and evaporation was minimal to visibly nonexistent.

I have no idea why everyone else is saying you'll fuck up an RG. If you're not customizing it, its completely fine. As long as you're patient you don't need 'practice' snapping things together. The only point to consider is that it's going to take you a LONG time to assemble that kit and you gotta be patient and just go at your own pace and enjoy the process.

Watch a youtube video to see how to cut the parts so you fuck them up less. And honestly man don't worry. Unless you are completely fucking incapable of basic motor function you will be fine. Nubs and stress marks and all that shit is OK. If you continue to build you can always go back and improve your kits, including painting them some day so yeah, don't let anyone discourage you.

Stop with this disingenuous horse shit already. Nobody said or implied snapping is difficult, but you're a lying sack of shit if you pretend that snipping, sanding, buffing, using hobby knives, panel lining, etc. don't take practice. I don't know why model nerds get so detached when they're used to their hobby and can't remember what it was like starting out and learning.

Thanks for all the answers guys, I bought a HG ibo barbatos lupus at a discount yesterday and got to work. Built this late last night in one sitting. The panel lining isn't perfect but I kind of liked the effect so I rolled with it. Whenever I made a mistake I'd smudge it with my finger and think it made for a decent weathering effect

It doesn't take a lot of practice. There's very little chance of fucking up something to the point of damaging it (unless, as I mentioned earlier, you have really poor motor skills). RG Nu will look amazing without panel lining and again you can always come back to that later. Nubs aren't the end of the world and being an RG doesn't increase the 'difficulty' of any of the shit you mentioned. Remember these are toys for children, you as a modeler can take it to the next level but there's nothing magic about RG thats "FOR HARDCODE MODELERS ONLY"

Shit compared to other model kits where you actually have to glue shit together RG is child's play

Noob anon here, and honestly, I picked up a Gundam kit first precisely because it's so much easier than tamiya military kits. It was a great way to learn how to use some tools, practice panel lining etc. I'd probably build something else before tackling the Hi-nu just to practice my panel lining skills a bit more, and nail the decal placement, but only to get the best result. I now feel fully confident I could actually build that thing with enough patience and time. It's lots of fun, can't wait to build more, suggestions welcome

aile strike has a large shield and wings on the back. If you like IBO, Bael has wings but no shield. The newer HG kits (not IBO, I mean like build divers shit) tend to be really good (they will be noticeably better than the Barby you built imo, in terms of design and how well they fit together).

The new Battlogue kits have a couple of models with shields and wings: Astray and Wing Zero (shield is kind of a shield). They are probably going to be good quality too since they are new, but I don't know when they are out (I know some are out already, not sure if all of them are)

The new kits are definitely solid but the recolors vary since they use the same mold as the OG versions. Urban Type Ground Gundam for example still has that shitty forward facing polycap torso to waist joint.

Can't comment on the ground gundam because I haven't built the new one, but the red frame and wing zero are great kits if they're 1:1 with the existing HGs. The Gouf custom is the oldest of the quad but it has aged pretty well too and still holds up.

You didn't even reply to anything I said. The first kit I built was an RG QanT and outside of some fiddly bits with the sword it was really easy to build. The difference between an "easy" HG kit and a kit like RG Nu is like the difference between a puzzle with 100 pieces and a puzzle with 1000 pieces. You're doing the same things, one just takes longer and requires more patience. RGs don't have water slides or anything else that's fancy that requires more 'skill' than an HG. They just have more parts and thus look much better on average. Anyway the guy built his Barbie so he has a pair of hands and some basic tools and a handful of brain cells so he will have no problem snapshitting any RG kit together

I don't know what to do. Build the regular one first so my first build of one of the most celebrated kits is more enjoyable and risk letting the clear one collect dust forever or start with the clear one to save the more enjoyable one for later.

Not him but this is true to some degree, most RGs have a ton of moving parts and nub placement that can sometimes interfere if not sanded properly. They do require you to pay a bit more attention than the average HG or even MG.

Really?
To me IBO isn't something I hate, but I'd rather watch something else. In plenty of classic UC Gundam, I can see the characters being rather believable and human. Amuro is a teenager who is unclean, messy, way too invested in machines and gizmos and bites his nails, that's very much a teenage boy thing. Mika has everyone love him for some reason and is extremely edgy, like as if Mika is the hero in a shitty harem anime. If you met Mika in high school you'd probably want to stay away from him with how violent he is and how quiet he keeps to himself, he'd be that creepy quiet kid. I'm actually okay with Mika for the most part with how metal he is, but he feels artificial.
I also get annoyed with IBO because it's BORING, and I'm a fan of Gasaraki, the king of boring mech anime. It's just that in IBO I feel like genuinely nothing is going on for the sake of "character", and yet I watch these characters act like anime tropes and not people.
IBO also has tons of exposition explaining things that we never see happen that seem way more interesting than what's currently going on. I'd much rather watch a story about the Calamity War than any of things going on in IBO.

But with all that said I do like the mobile suit designs from the show so I don't mind buying the Gunpla kits from it.

mika is autistic which is why he's weird. i didnt find the characters themselves to be too off putting but the overall story and the ending just kind of blows

>I'd much rather watch a story about the Calamity War
100% agree with you. That whole thing with Hashmal shouldn't have been in the show because it made everyone realize the show itself sucks compared to the historical backdrop which is way more interesting

if you have a ultrasonic cleaner you can throw it into that and it'll remove it after tons of minutes at max power, give it a try it works okay for acrylic.
going by the other reply you made I'm assuming you are using acrylic metallics and I'd advice against it, lacquer is the way to go when it comes to metallic paints.
to be honest I don't actually know how to properly spray metallics myself so I just spray all my metallics underthinned and with pic related

But I'm not Bandai, anon.
btw I love how you got so triggered about the lack of (You)s that you think doing the same to me means anything other than showing me I got under your skin. For a guy spending literal hours LARPing as a retard that's never built a RG you sure seem to take things personally.

my RG joints are still stiff in both the Zaku II and RX-78. Clearly there's a problem on your end, and yet it still works on my machine.

It's a little late to try putting on a poker face after you've acted like a shitposting /v/tard all day.

(specifically in that order, it'd be counterproductive otherwise)

What are my best options nowadays if I'm looking for extra hands for my 1/144 kits (mostly Zakus and my TR-1 AoZ boys)?
What I'm looking most is stuff with left-handed trigger hands and right-handed open palms.
I'd also like to know your personal experience with such accessories, including the Syistem Weapon stuff.

Jigen Build knuckles should work for this, you would need the round variant.

that does cover the open hands, now I need trigger finger hands. Only ones I found available so far is the system weapon 9 (the one with dual bazookas)

Thise hands kind of suck. If you use them clip about half the peg off on the thumb area or never open them to swap, they tend to break because the peg is a bit long and stresses when pulling the thumbs part off the palm part. The system weapon 9 is the only set with left trigger finger hands too.

I may add, where did you find that playset, tanks, and soldiers in the back. They are of the right 1/144 scale?

Micro machines. Scale isnt absolutely perfect but works for me. Its top right in pic related. But also a bit hard to find.
The soldiers can be had in the gm sniper k9 or k9 pack or the zaku ground war set.
