We should do a thread poll for them just to make it neater, I reckon. That said, I gotta give it to my fellow over-Dakka'ed Alto-builder's Samael  .

RillAkBea posted:From the angle of the white V antenna and the grey strips down the sides of the mouthpiece, I think that's Freedom rather than Strike. I stand corrected on both.

JoeGlassJAw posted:RG Tallgeese II goes up for pre-order on P Bandai USA in about 20 minutes if anyone is interested! Oh god there's more stuff there than they initially announced; AND there's more going up on the 10th. I snagged the Victory Strike & Wings of Light add-on, the Slash Zaku Phantom & the Deathscythe since that's all my wallet can reasonably take right now. I still want the Tallgeese II, G04 & the RGZ and GM Sniper Customs when they're available. Pre-orders don't end until August 5th, so I figure I'll grab stuff here and there until then. I, uh, need to clear my backlog before September hits.

Bad News: My RG-EVA-01 got backordered. Good News: I dug up my partially completed MG MSZ-006C1. That should help tide me over.

For a new page, plus this time with Sazabi's entry.Bees on Wheat posted:Built my 30MM kits yesterday. I used the dark blue armor from the Alto Blue with the white and gray frame pieces from an Alto Black, and gave it a Diver Ace backpack/weapons. Had a hell of a time getting the backpack on before I realized there was an adapter piece I needed to use in order to get it to sit comfortably on the Alto's back. It looks like something that you might get if they started mass-producing mobile suits based on 00's design, like a 00 Dagger or something. Veotax posted:This is what I managed to bash together on Sunday for the group build. Gripweed posted:I put the Marsfour sword backpack on my Portanova. Looks pretty cool Bees on Wheat posted:So I ended up buying the Alto Flight-type and a whole bunch of other stuff last week. Gotta say I like the flight-type design a bit more than the standard Alto look, but you can do either one since the kit includes all the parts for the standard Alto. The backpack reminds me a bit of the Fatum-00 unit for Justice, with the shoulder cannons and everything. The wings even fold down in the same weird way. Don't think you can surf on it, though. The gun is from the weapon options kit. Waffleman_ posted:My boy is armored up. mllaneza posted:This is exactly why I try to get in 2 or 3 building sessions a week at my desk.

I also finally made myself a small light box, and it's been a process learning how to light it properly.

I took a look at HLJ for a RG Crossbones and while the price was good...well, lets just say that Amazon Prime has done horrible things to my expectation of shipping costs. EDIT: Amiami doesn't even give you a shipping estimate before you put in your order... Unlucky7 fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Apr 3, 2020 |

I'm annoyed I forgot to go actually place my Bandai pre-orders last night, because the MG Slash Zaku Phantom is out of stock (I didn't realize that could happen with a pre-order???) edit: I still need to go through the 30 MM entries, but good job all

Slanderer posted:I'm annoyed I forgot to go actually place my Bandai pre-orders last night, because the MG Slash Zaku Phantom is out of stock (I didn't realize that could happen with a pre-order???) That’s our Bandai! *audience laughter* The way I understood P-Bandai to work was that they took unlimited preorders during the open period and then produced to preorder plus a few more, so it seems weird that they could sell out. Unless they just allocated like 1000 units for the US store and sold through those. I see a note that says “pre-orders may be reopened in case of high demand” so don’t give up just yet. I can’t believe how dumb they’re being about this; spending about 20 minutes on eBay would tell them what kind of demand there is for these things.

They probably allocated a shipping container for the USA and broke up the kits by number of boxes and expected demand. Shipping half a container extra still costs the same as a full container.

I got something you guys don't...  At Supanova Melbourne last month I picked up the Iron-Blood Coating Barbatos Lupus, and finally got around to finishing it.    This thing is gorgeous. It doesn't really show up well in the pictures, but the two-tone bronze-and-silver part separation actually does look really good in person.

Midjack posted:That’s our Bandai! *audience laughter* The P-Bandai preorder numbers are limited and do often sell out. They may also cut off preorders earlt and move to a second wave. They started a bunch of new waves on Monday and Friday this past week. RillAkBea fucked around with this message at 06:34 on Apr 4, 2020 |

Neddy Seagoon posted:I got something you guys don't... I picked it up from Japan last year and it's every bit awesome as Neddy says. The coating looks really good. It was the first Gunpla I've had that had a mold defect as well. Thankfully it was the chin piece so it's not entirely notacable unless your really looking for it.

grassy gnoll posted:I went looking for pictures, and also I'm an American. You should be amazed I'm literate enough to understand your post and the one I'm writing right now. It's all good. Since I'm also American and can't be sure anything I post is readable to anyone who isn't an idiot. Plus my submission wasn't going to win anything beyond "most likely to offend the eyes and to a lesser degree the remaining four senses". Unlucky7 posted:So which non-amazon seller is pretty reliable nowadays? Gundamplanet and newtypehq have both been good if a slight mark up on most kits. But newtypehq does free shipping on orders over $99 which is super easy when shopping for your back log. Sazabi fucked around with this message at 10:23 on Apr 4, 2020 |

Aaaaand I'm onto my third pair of God Hand nippers  Pair 1 broke early but pair 2 lasted a few years until just yesterday when without even thinking I tried to cut a length of mesh pipe with them and the blade snapped without even leaving a mark on the mesh. I didn't even hesitate to order pair 3 though because I'm pretty sure I can never go back to regular nipppers.

I love my godhand nippers, and still have my first. After reading the translated instructions (explaining how the blade and the flat part are deliberately offset a little), I realized you can cut extremely flush on harder plastics by positioning the flat side correctly (it's kinda hard to explain). I've saved so much time I would have otherwise spent with a modeling knife just by using them effectively.

I'm glad I finished the VeeTwo before I bought any more Build Divers planet kits. I like the Core Gundam a lot but putting the armor on the kit sucked and I really don't like the way it looks all put together. Oh well!

Recently got into gunpla after finding a bunch of old gundam action figures i bought in early 2000s. Figured id build something. So since january when i got the tools ive built the ver ka RX-78, a HG GM2 just to test out painting, and the RG Gundam Mk2. The last model i got was the RG Zeta. Something happened when I applied a topcoat to the Zeta... the right arm elbow joint broke as a result so now the arm is basically useless in terms of articulation.
