Those Leos are a thing to behold. I might be in love. Too bad they are going to cost an arm and a leg... Luckily, with them being in the Robot Damashii line, they will be built more sturdily than when OZ built them.

Zeether posted:How good are the Revoltech Patlabor figures? I'm thinking of getting one because they look so cool (plus I watched the first movie and it kicked rear end) I have all of them except the Helldiver (if anyone has it I'd be interested) and the Aqua type Griffon. I'm rather fond of them. Make sure to get the movie versions though, way better than the original ones. The biggest issue is Alphonse and 02 are under the same Revoltech production number so make sure you know which one you're getting. I had to argue with people for sending me the wrong one because they had it misrepresented.

Zeether posted:I got the Revoltech Patlabor in today, and...it can't hold the revolvers or the shotgun. The hands for holding them seem to be sculpted wrong. I had this problem too. Seeing as you're in a modelling thread, what you need to do is take your exacto knife and shave off some of the paint on the inside of the hand which will let the robot hold it.

Wow, that thing is just glorious. I like the Sazabi too, but I already have in in HGUC form so I don't see myself buying it again unless it's way better.

I'm trying to start painting my models now and just got through with my Neue Ziel. I'm having some real issues finding the right colors to go with the kits though. I don't have an airbrush so I'm currently constrained to purchasing cans of spray paint to paint plus a small cadre of gundam markers. Any advice for a place to get more specific colors of spray paints? Also, whats a good primer to use? I've got Kshatriya and the RG Zaku and RX-78 I'd like to make look great so I'm really trying to get my painting better. I've just outgrown panel lining and building by itself I guess. For fun, here is my Neue Ziel and a shot of some of my other guys.

jesus_rocket posted:I started watching gundam a few months ago and bought a MG Zaku 2.0 and RX-79(G). As well as a HG Geara Doga, Domtropen and Hygogg. Most of my painting experience has been with warhammer so painting all the little details was awesomely relaxing. While I only have the 1/144 Sazabi, I hear that the MG version has huge problems with limbs just popping off which is also present in the HGUC version I own.

I'm working on my first fully painted model, a Dreissen and I'm at the part I dreaded most... the baroque markings on the chest and sleeves. I need some advice on painting these. Would it be best to buy a gundam marker or what? I don't have any experience in hand painting.

I decided to try my hand at painting for the first time with my AMX-009 Dreissen. I think it's vaguely passable as a first attempt. Any thoughts on where I can improve? I still need to do panel lining and color in the Sleeves markings.

EthanSteele posted:It's time to start gearing up to build Sinanju and I come to the problem of the trim. My plan is to spray the areas gold with acrylic or enamel and then do a layer of black in the other medium on top which I'll then rub off from the raised areas with something to reveal the gold underneath. Basically the same principal behind a panel line wash and clean up. where were you 3 days ago? Man, I really need to redo my trim, it looks so lovely.

Anyone have a good suggestion for a color for Char's Zaku II. I can't find any pink in the stores in my area so it looks like I'm going to have to order it online. Additionally, how do you panel line a painted kit? I tried my standard tactic of rubbing off the excess from my sharpie, but it doesn't rub off as easy or at all with it being painted.

I don't know why you aren't just saving up for the ultimate mobile suit, the Hammurabi! I seriously can't get over how excited I am about it. On another note, the drat weather has been so muggy and hot up here the past few days I'm afraid to try painting anything. I really hope things get a bit more conducive to me wasting my time soon.

Just bought my Hammurabi from HLJ. I'm almost too excited about this suit. On another note, I need some help finding the right spraypaint for my Kshatriya. I need a color for the light green but Hobby Lobby has nothing that even remotely resembles the color I'm looking for. Everything is way too dark. I'm thinking Pearl Green maybe? https://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=85060 The problem is I don't really have any stores around me with Tamiya paints.

I wish they'd redo the MG Kampfer. It's easily one of my favorite designs in the show. Thing just looks like it's a loving problem. It doesn't hurt that 0080 is loving awesome.

I'd be excited to see an official HGUC Nightengale to be honest. I don't know why, but I have a fascination with buying the most obese suits out there and this is the only thing that can steal The O's thunder.

So I was doing some panel lining on my HGUC Hammrabi and the ball joint on his right leg just snapped right the hell off. The whole kit is done, painted, and assembled so I was very dismayed. Is there any way to fix this or am I just totally hosed?

Just super glue it? It's pretty flush off the ball. I would like it to still be pliable enough to pose it. Hammrabi is one of my favorite suits so it's really bumming me out.

So I finally decided to get back on this nightmare Gunpla train and start working on my backlog. After buying some new kits of course. I picked up Zaku Amazing as well as Kaempfer Amazing because, well, they both looked amazing. I'm a big Zaku fan in general and Kaempfer is super rad, not to mention 0080 being my favorite Gundam series. I completed the Zaku Amazing which was a lot of fun. I was then inspired to work on a kit I bought a long time ago but was too intimidated to open up, Kshatriya. Fo Kshatriya, I was considering painting it to help cover up any nub marks as well as kick it up a level but I can't find anything remotely similar to the green it uses. Is it worth painting? What color green should I be using? Should I just top coat it? Thanks a lot for any input. I really love this suit and want it to look as good as I can make it. Any criticism of my Zaku would be welcome too. Thanks a lot guys. Glad to be back in the swing of wasting money.

Neddy Seagoon posted:To make your Kampfer as Amazing as possible, I recommend buying an Amazing Weapon Binder and stack those cannons. Two is good, but four is better! I actually do have that since I thought I needed it to go with the Kaempfer for the full effect. Little did I know just how over armed it's going to be.

BlitzBlast posted:The Kshatriya actually has most of its colors molded out in plastic, the only thing you have to worry about are the Sleeves markings. And, well, either get really good at applying stickers or break out the paint. I retook some photos in better lighting http://imgur.com/a/tklgj I never realized how visible a lot of those nubs are since I just keep these guys on a shelf or desk far enough away to not see it. I've been trying to shave them down better with a hobby knife but I guess I still have a lot of work to do on that front. Also, I did use a felt pen for the panel lining on the model. Never done anything with hiding seam lines before either. What would you reccommend for the guns? I thought the plastic they were in was pretty boring ooking and thought it would help break it up a little.
