I like to look up photos of sentai teams to copy poses.

The slight tilt on the Gundam's head somehow makes it look like they're waiting for a bus or something. All you need is bus stop sign and you've made your very first diorama. Just kidding, you need a third pla at an ATM, preferably one with ridiculous hands that could never reasonably operate it. Gunpla is freedom though so feel free to think of your own unlikely situation.

Speaking of posing, here's my Playskool Guard Frame all snapped together with a few friends: Still needs a touchup on that forearm, plus panel lining and a top coat, but I'm happy with how it's looking so far!

Oh, are we posting poses? Here is my increasingly cramped shelf, which should have an RG Astray by the end of the week.

 Am I doing posing right? I mean, they're not that stable/posable but you get a lot more freedom of movement then I was actually expecting. "Yeeeeeargh leg day!" "Dude, your knees are buckling, are you gonna be able to hold this?" "Just shut up, stop wiggling and keep your rear end out of my face"

Visual coherency wasn't exactly my aim, but I'm glad it gelled.As for the detailing, I'm gonna give it a second look once I get home. Originally I was thinking simple = better for the whole toy vibe, but there might be room for something subtle. The chest does seem pretty barren.

Speaking of High Mobility, Zaku Amazing Rapid is definitely happening, I've got the parts.  Zaku Amazing Marine not yet, I need 2 extra builders parts for the marine boosters although I have another spare Zaku, but where are those shoulders and legs from?

Man, I really struggle with posing: need a guide to posing a full armour unicorn MG with all the accessories strapped on. (Except the sled which is being ridden by the training dummy/grunt side HG dude from build fighters) I'm also pretty crap at doing walking poses, I've got a PG zaku and due to the butt stock on his gun, gun holding poses seem impossible

Cthulhu Dreams posted:I'm also pretty crap at doing walking poses, I've got a PG zaku and due to the butt stock on his gun, gun holding poses seem impossible I had the same problem with my HG Zaku II -- the butt of the stock spread out way too far for it to be held in one hand. I ended up filing away the flared bits on the sides and bottom to make it more of an L shape (you can kinda see it in the picture above if you squint) so I could tuck it between the arm and torso. That did the trick for me.

I looked at the build log for it and apparently they're scratch built parts unfortunately. https://hobby.dengeki.com/reviews/205931/ Though they're also apparently only on Zaku Amazing Light Armor so they're not technically part of Zaku Amazing Marine?

Ka0 posted:Do you have links to other custom build logs? I have some hobby japan magazines but this stuff is highly infomative to me! I just googled the last one, but here's all 4 parts: Part 1(Down the page a bit) Part 2 Part 3 (The one I already posted) Part 4 (Mostly just paint stuff) And here's the entire BF Amazing D-R archive https://hobby.dengeki.com/gbfdr/ It's a mix of infodumps, reviews and build logs so you may need to dig through quite a bit to find stuff that looks useful.   Today in P-Bandai newsThey dropped a whole bunch of AoZ stuff because they've suddenly decided that HG-AoZ is now a line, but like a PB only line. In actual new stuff they're putting out an HG Hrududu in both colors, so you can attach it to your ancient HGUC Hazel Custom or Advanced Hazel. They've also rereleased those as P-Bandai items too though with no actual changes to the model except the previously ABS runner is now the soft KPS. The actual selling point though is they include new waterslide decals as well as an extra runner of joint adapters for HG Woundwort so you can construct the TR-6 Gaplant II by sacrificing no less than 5 other kits.  Apparently you need: HG Woundwort (PB) HG Hazel II (PB) HG Hazel Custom (PB Version) HG Advanced Hazel (PB Version) HG Hrairoo (Regular) HG Gabthley (Regular) Yikes Bandai, if you don't want us to build it, you can just tell us, you know? We won't be angry we just want you to be honest. Also, 21 or so hours until Bandai stops being obtusely vague and actually announces the first Funporter item. https://bandai-hobby.net/site/30minutes_missions/sp/index.html RillAkBea fucked around with this message at 09:34 on Feb 13, 2019 |

 Finally found enough time to finish my RG Banshee Norn, my first time building something more difficult than an HG and boy was it a challenge. So many fiddly bits, the transformation is equally impressive and fragile. I'll get around to applying more of the stickers eventually but I'm pretty happy with the way it looks right now. I'm gonna tackle an MG next. Maybe the Sinanju Stein (Ver. ka or Narrative?)

The Funporter page added a brand introduction movie today and it looks like Funporter is just gonna be a giant umbrella for whatever the heck they want to make. Their first product though is "30 Minutes Mission" which looks a lot like non Gundam branded Gunpla. I get the basic idea that it'll let them make some awesome new stuff and endless variations without having to pass it through Sunrise but it's also a little disappointing after the amount of hype they made for this new Funporter brand. Relevant tweet dump: https://twitter.com/HobbyJapan_MAG/status/1095927411756036097?s=19 https://twitter.com/HobbySite/status/1095928759557836800?s=19 https://twitter.com/figsoku/status/1095928271701561345?s=19 Also MG and RG announcements. MG Gundam NT-1 Ver. 2.0 (Noice) and finally a new RG announcement, Crossbone Gundam X-1 (Crossnoice Noiceguard!) https://twitter.com/HobbyJapan_MAG/status/1095932330835755008?s=19 RillAkBea fucked around with this message at 07:34 on Feb 14, 2019 |

Looks like the Bandai equivalent of Kotobukiya's Frame Arms line. The "30 Minute Mission" part is probably that you can finish building the whole thing in half an hour.

Bandai frame arms would be rad. They've already done a lot of the foundational stuff in the accessories with the BF and BD line.

Build Divers has done a pretty shoddy job overall pushing custom kits, given almost nobody got a new mobile suit for the second cour and some of the onscreen ones never actually got a kit at all.

Some of the kits (and the odd episode of the show) are good, there's just a real dearth of new ones rather than a regular output of fancy customized kits.

The Funporter stuff looks okay, I'd like to build those and source parts from them perhaps. Are they releasing all those colours? I assume the top shell in the picture is to demonstrate making a colour scheme by combining two kits.

A new line of nothing but IBO grunt suits in endless color variations is better than anything I could've hoped for

In other news, SN/Model Heart Wing Zero finally arrived, and holy gently caress the plate count is insane. I can't remember the last time I built a MG that had plates go all the way up to X.
