If you were going to paint it anyway, what was the point of getting the blue psycoframe? Or is that not for your Plan B?

Have they ever released a MG SD kit before? Because I'd totally shell out for a MG Winning, doubly so if it transforms into a giant fist for the MG Build Burning.

Zodar posted:The red coat was come out really thick and grainy, yeah, even after shaking it for four straight minutes. I actually liked the grainy "pointillist" texture I was getting by under-spraying and leaving the black primer exposed in the recesses of the mold, but in retrospect I over(under?)did it in a few places. What you can do is stir the can instead of shaking it. Also, if you let it sit in warm water for a couple minutes before spraying.

Frankenstein Dad posted:Okay, thanks for the advice. I'm actually pretty sure that the Mk-II is either the oldest or the second-oldest on your list, but yeah newer kits tend to be better. There's a cutoff point where kits go from "awesome" to "pretty good" and the 2.0 MGs are just newer than that point. The X is the newest on your list and also the best for many reasons both relating and not relating to its age.

For comparison, in Super Robot Wars, the Wing Zero's buster rifles are slightly stronger than any other beam weapon. Meanwhile, the Satellite Cannon has the same stats as the Ideon Sword. The show begins by saying, "A bunch of satellite cannons were fired, and now the setting is post-apocalyptic." Personally, I love the X because it's asymmetric, like the nu.

poo poo I did not expect for Christmas: The January 2015 issue of Dengeki Hobby that comes with the 1/48 scale Build Burning head display stand. It's molded entirely in white, though. Gonna have to wait until money is better so I can paint it up all nice-like.

lilljonas posted:Yeah, a white with streaks and stuff would look nice, and appropriate for that fighter look. The alternative to the red would be to go for a more WW2 fighter camo paint, but I have no idea how well that would look in the end. Start with the original Gundam movie trilogy. Then ask for advice in the Gundam thread.

no, seriously, what show did you actually watch? because the only teenage girl in build fighters episode 1 is the main character's classmate who gets a total of *checks* 9 seconds of screen time. edit: oh, you apparently did the opposite of introducing him to the show and were suddenly surprised when you weren't invested in any of the characters. classic.

The Dregs posted:I...I don't want to watch 17 episodes just so that I can appreciate squeeling teen girls. I really, really don't. I think I'll just drop it now and stick to talking about the actual factual plastic robots. I guess you've never seen Avengers, either, so the point is that if you cherry pick a tiny fraction of any media wildly out of context, of course it might seem dumb and not nearly as good as it actually is. You're obviously not interested in actually knowing about this stuff, so buy whatever kit you want. The "$15-$20 HG kits" advice on the last page is more than enough to get you by. Like 90% of kits are worthwhile. Do whatever.

So, the humidity was finally low enough for the first time in like 2 or 3 months for me to paint. I finally finished my Mk-II.   What a nightmare. The RG Gundam Mk-II? loving beautiful. It was my first RG, and while I'm not a fan of cutting mesh tubes and I lost a decal, the kit was a joy to put together and an absolutely wonderful thing to play with afterward. I'm kind of shocked and appalled that people talk so much poo poo about the Real Grades after working with this thing. The Mk-II is flexible, sturdy, pretty, and comes with a full complement of weapons. I absolutely love it, and I can't wait for my next RG (although I know to avoid the RX-78, Zeta, and Zaku II). The Build Gundam conversion? gently caress. The HG Build Gundam Mk-II is a 12-year-old monstrosity I've bitched about in this thread before, but it can't be restated. Having to rush the paintjob for weather reasons didn't help, either. The Build Mk-II uses a G-Reco amount of stickers for really basic poo poo that could have been easily molded in a different color (the V-fins especially come to mind, but the chest fins are another huge offender). The Build Booster's detail matches the rest of its kit, which means that it's really plain for a 2013 backpack which I had to use about half the RG Mk-II's decals breaking up. The backpack is gigantic and heavy, too, and since I didn't glue the torso straight it weighs the whole thing backward. The conversion itself was a bitch. I had to partially fabricate a new core block to accomodate the new chest pieces, and the V-fin is just held on by glue. In spite of the rest of the kit clearly being designed not to work with the RG Mk-II, the backpack has an alternate plug designed for the RG Mk-II. The arm rifles just needed some cuts to fit properly, and the rest is history. Now that that's over with, I can finally get to the rest of my backlooooOOOH MY GOD  I've got a lot of work ahead of me.

Monaghan posted:Your right about working on old kits being a pain in the rear end but keep in mind that the MK II RG is widely considered to be the best RG ever made. Also you may want to consider thinning your paints a little more, as there's some noticeable brush strokes on the v-fin. I usually do (ex-miniature player), that's from humidity ruining the previous coat > cleaning it off > fixing it with a Gundam Marker. Gundam Markers are really finicky about application, it turns out. The backlog is mostly 2 people's worth of Christmas gifts, although I inherited all of my girlfriend's unfinished kits, as well.

You're understating it. The sky opened and Kawaguchi literally descended through on a rainbow of wish particles. He then chewed out the entire cast for not having enough fun, triggered all the mid-season upgrades, and then peeled off into the sunset on a motorcycle.

The Kampfer Amäzing only comes with 1 pair of weapon binders when it has 2 in the show. It's functional out of the box but incomplete without being the Amazing Weapon Binder set.
