Welp, guess I do gunpla now. The Hobbytown near me has a small gunpla section So I figured gently caress it and got Mr. Ral's Gouf. I only did some slight panel-lining, matte varnish (which got a bit screwed up because i didn't block the breeze enough), and painted the thrusters, just to see what it looked like with minimal effort. I think I'll paint any others I build, though. I already want to get a Hi-Mock to slap some spare North Korean Air Force decals on....

Warmachine posted:My anecdote is to say that the Hobbytown USA near where I live stocks gunpla, and is apparently one of its biggest sellers. Gundam is clearly entering a golden age of plamo in America. Yeah, the Hobby Town by me has seemed to be slowly growing not just it's gunpla section, but all sorts of sci-fi models like Space Battleship Yamato and poo poo.

Speaking of metallics, any tips for painting metallic blue without an airbrush (because I don't have one)? I just got a Dahack (because apparently blue mobile suits with two shields is my fetish), and I really want to paint it metallic blue - and maybe even a pearl white for, well the white parts. Any special techniques? Or just pick up Tamiya dark blue metallic (I think it's like TS-53)?

Started to put some time in on painting my Dahack. Lessons learned so far: - Reaper HD makes a great yellow - Vallejo Metal Medium is awesome, but god, is it hard to get the right balance. - I really need A) an airbrush, B) patience, or C) both.

Lemon Curdistan posted:There's no reason why "Gundam type frame" has to refer to something that specifically looks like the Barbatos/Kimaris, though. Have they said Kimaris is a Gundam? I think the Gundam wiki ( I'm too lazy to check) said something about the Calamity War mobile suits (which are the Gundam in IBO, I think) are named after demons in Ars Goetia. Barbatos and Gusion are demons in Ars Goetia, but Kimaris isn't.

Droyer posted:"Kimaris, also known by the alternate names Cimeies, Cimejes and Cimeries, is most widely known as the 66th demon of the first part of the Lemegeton (popularly known as the Ars Goetia)." Yeah, I accidentally skimmed over it. So Barbatos, Kimaris, and Gusion are all Gundams. Unless plot twiiist or something happens.

Build it, then toss it into a box and weld the lock shut. It will exist is a quantum super position of having and not having the flappy things deployed. Schroedinger's Gunpla.

I had a setback earlier today - a polycap peg housing in the upper thigh snapped clean apart. This reminds me I need to get working on my metallic Dahack again. Only have the head and torso done so far since I have to hand brush it.

Guess this is the best place to ask - is it possible to paint 'chromed' pieces without stripping the finish off first? I just got the Bandai Captain Phasma kit and her blaster and hands all have the same chromed finish as the rest of her armor. It's nice and shiny, but still needs some detailing (like the palms of the gauntlets and the tubing on the blaster barrel). I could probably strip the finish of the blaster and paint it all, but I don't want the ruin the finish in the hands. Anyone know of a work around?

There's also the Hyper Gunpla Battle Weapons which has a spiked bat that was used in a Gunpla Baseball game in GBF Also a giant pair of scissors and rocket-propelled hedge clippers or something.

Marx Headroom posted:Yesterday I spray painted Mr Super Clear matte on my Jesta Cannon but it was like 80% humidity so basically the entire thing frosted over. One leg went from dark blue to almost white. The way I've always heard and have used on minis is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDOcdA00rO8 Which is basically to brush on gloss varnish (I use Pledge Floor Care Finish aka Future), then matte varnish again - either with a brush-on or spraying when conditions are better.

It being 35-38c outside last time I was there would have been an issue though, and next time will be a bit too chilly instead.

A lot of the cool light up blue parts on the MS are just stickers on the kit. Dahack was my second kit after the Gouf R35. I apparently have a type and that type is blue with dual shields.
