-= ACE CUSTOM GROUPBUILD =-

Build, customize, and paint a grunt mobile suit up for use by an ace pilot.
>You are taking the role of the Ace Pilot here - You're making the design choices when it comes to loadout, paint scheme, and suit customizations.
>Think about what your Ace specializes in, is he all in on offensive power, speed and maneuverability, or bulk and defense?
>While your pilot is an ace, he's not so special that he's getting super secret prototypes like Gundams or Mobile Armors. Keep your grunt relatively grounded to whatever setting it's from.

Send your entries to gunplaplamo@gmail.com with at least 5 photos of your finished build along with any WIP photos and a description of your entry.

Big Duo is a definite buy. One day I'll get my Volspina from them

>>23730294
My local brick and mortar had stock of the Big O for a short while, but it quickly sold out. I'm on their call list the next time they get it in though. And if/when I get one, Big Duo and the likely eventual Big Fau will be added to the list. I wonder if a Bonaparte and/or its components will be on the future potential list.

Thinking of doing a custom Mafty-themed paintjob/kitbash of a Jegan, like if a Feddie pilot joined Mafty after getting space ICE'd by the Manhunters.

Any tips? I'm just gonna do the colour distribution of the Messer, regardless to which scheme I go with, but some Jesta parts and a ReZEL head fly?

>>23730308
They're probably going to do another survey soon, just put your vote in and it it gets enough they'll eventually make it. That's pretty much why we got big duo coming.

>>23730366
Sounds pretty cool anon, gotta make sure to put a Mafty logo on it.
Lorewise Jestas are actually pretty rare machines so it might be fun to consider he probably killed an ace himself to get them. Or a commanding officer in an act of rebellion or something. Just food for thought.

New mobile suit for Hathaway's Flash : Sorcery of Nymph Circe revealed. It's the prototype Penelope TX-FF104 Alyzeus. Notice anything interesting in it's structure? Can't wait for the kit.

>>23730650
Looks like it's not just for show.

>>23730650
they ever explain why penelope and this have a silly goose hat in the books?
it's kinda unhinged the shit you can come up with that ucfags will still eat up

>>23730647
The one they teased looks vastly different.

>>23730650
Man I really can't wait for the MG Nu Gundam MP Type to come out. I hope Bandai makes it a 2.0 so that down the line we get a proper MG 2.0 Nu Gundam much like how they made the FAZZ first before the Judau Astra version.

>>23730639
no mean they're doing that hollow half shit on the foot, which is what bandai usually does to cut costs.

>>23730650
Was the sloppa pic really necessary

>>23730650
What an ugly thing.

>>23730650
the book apparently says Alzeyus uses the MP Nu Gundam as a base. basically this new Penelope is a mobile armor version of the Nu.

>>23730656

>>23730677
there is a charm to it's overbuilt retardation

do you paint before assembling
or do you assemble first, disassemble, then paint?
disassembling is a very high risk activity. I'm scared.

>>23730681
Circumcise your pieces, that makes it easier to disassemble.

>>23730668
and it needs a long ass neck to crush his skull when he's standing upright
>rules of cool
about that...

>>23730681
I paint by hand and assemble first. I still do subassemblies (limbs, head, torso, etc.) if I think something will be hard to reach.

>>23730681
>>23730685
I don't get painting when assembled, how do you not block the joints when topcoating afterwards?
>>23730682
i found that it's a waste of time, separating pieces with a flat thin piece of plastic isn't hard even on tight kits

>>23730681
I paint as I assemble it. I batch out the parts, separate them by color, paint them all and then build it. It's a much faster workflow.

>>23730697
but then you can't do hmm? hmm... before vs after.

>>23730443
Still looks less of an eyesore than the Infinitism.

>>23730701
No, it's the same shit.

>>23730700
I can barely be fucked to take a picture of the completed model.

>>23730693
I just don't spray any exposed joints much? You have really good control with an airbrush, and just a lot of over spray of clear coat isn't going to do much (it'll probably scrape off on first move even with lacquers if it's just lone spots).

>>23730712
maybe i worry too much, I might try it on my current build

>>23730717
Exposed joints also make good spots to put your alligator clips, for obvious reasons.

>>23730643
If looking like a cheap was so detrimental, Gundam would've been long forgotten.

There's nothing wrong with peg holes to begin with. That's like leaving construction lines on a drawing. It's aesthetic as fuck.

>There's nothing wrong with peg holes to begin with
Except when the peg holes are designed to look like toys. At least the normal plastic robot lines work the peg holes into the designs so that they're naturally hidden.

30MM doesn't need to hide anything. Its modularity is a feature, not a bug. Pegs are not an intermediary step. They serve a purpose after the kit is assembled. Peg holes are a flex.

Playing Base A.
schizophonic9 even links to his blog entry covering the base in his HGCE Legend review

Much like how the HG TR-6 Barzam II is actually a Barzam I & Wondwort combo pack

Is there any sort of documentation online that catalogs the extra unused parts included in some HG advance of zeta sets to see if it's possible to or how close you can get to assembling an extra mobile suit from those parts?

>>23731042
The core unit would be a remolded nu gundam with mp look, which would be the easiest, money saving, part. Making armor parts would be harder, but since they made the penelope, then making Alyzeus wouldn't be that much harder. It also looks a bit like core gundam, so it might make it easier.

First time attempting to make a silicone mold. It's been bubbling for almost half an hour now, and according to the specs this silicone should set in about 5 hours, so I'm kind of concerned whether or not it'll work. But, since it's a first time attempt, I guess I should prepare myself for it already being a failure, and learning and improving for the next attempt.

Wouldn't you want gloss for metallics? AutoCHADs spray really thick gloss clear over metallic finish 95% of the time. Flat works too for certain metallic paints, ie: gunmetal.

>>23731304
Honestly, I think it might be a skill/product issue on that guy's part. Those off-the-shelf multi purpose rattlecans are pretty thick for model kits, they can work but they have to be used very lightly.
See this video;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVyubPEKv2Y
This guy airbrushes gaia notes matte/gloss coat, gives a very clean finish.

Which coat you use is (as usual) ultimately down to preference. The metallic sheen will always be there and will always stand out next to flat color, unless you fucked up painting it shouldn't ruin it.

>>23731347
I usually just use mr hobby flat/gloss (non premium) or mr super clear because nothing else is available. I don't know if they're compatible with metallic color.

Boy i can't wait for HGUC Xi with a proper gundam face instead of whatever we have right now.

it's the kind of thing you have to either test yourself or hope someone else has tested it before, some metallics you can topcoat some you just can't
also even if someone else has tested it make sure to test it yourself on spoons just to be sure before you use it on your kit

its really dumb engineering when a 900 gram MS has to support 400 grams fin funnel set, its retarded

It's probably like the other PGU where every runner is marked for specific sections (like legs) and also split into smaller runners.

If there's one thing that Moderoid kits are infamous for it's the over the top tightness of the joints.

you probably just need to reinforce the waist joint since it's the main culprit behind the Nu's scoliosis.

>>23731493
I'd be crying like Frieren if I were to organize this shit. No, wait, I actually cry like Frieren if I do cry at any time.

Speaking of PGU Nu, does this come with a piece based on the t-shaped Psychoframe placed somewhere within the inner frame that you can even remove to replicate like in the end of the movie?

I just painted for the very 1st time, experimenting with small parts, using tamiya spray white primer and hand brush with orange mr.color
I got some discoveries and questions
1. How do you hold parts that have nowhere to clip? here I simply gripped a portion that will be hidden by other parts
2. How do you deal with paint clogging some portion of a hole? just scrub it off later?
3. Is it normal that I had to paint (hand brush) the surface twice, 2 layers of the same color because the 1st time I do it, there's some unpainted spots here and there? maybe because I thinned the paint wrong? too thin? (1:1 ratio).
4. I poured too much paint. I didn't expect the thinner would increase the volume so much. how long could it survive in a closed plastic container, so I don't waste it and use it in the future?

Also question about future expectation
5. my primer is white, and my gunpla armor is also white that I want to repaint bright silver. do I still need to prime it? I mean, it's white on white.

>>23731971
>1. How do you hold parts that have nowhere to clip? here I simply gripped a portion that will be hidden by other parts
If it has a hole, I use reverse clips. If it has nothing I put in on cardboard with some double sided tape.
>2. How do you deal with paint clogging some portion of a hole? just scrub it off later?
You can mask it but it shouldn't fuck with tolerances so much that it'll prevent parts from going together.
>3. Is it normal that I had to paint (hand brush) the surface twice, 2 layers of the same color because the 1st time I do it, there's some unpainted spots here and there? maybe because I thinned the paint wrong? too thin? (1:1 ratio).
That's normal. You need to thin brush paints like that and do multiple layers to get a good flat coat.
>4. I poured too much paint. I didn't expect the thinner would increase the volume so much. how long could it survive in a closed plastic container, so I don't waste it and use it in the future?
It'll last for a pretty long time. Just make sure it's mixed well if it sits. I have paints I mixed over a year ago I still use.
>Also question about future expectation
>5. my primer is white, and my gunpla armor is also white that I want to repaint bright silver. do I still need to prime it? I mean, it's white on white.
Silver actually looks best with a darker primer. Acrylic paints need to be on a primer layer no matter what because they don't stick well and rub off incredibly easily otherwise. If you're using lacquers then you can skip the primer, technically. I would still use primer if you're brush painting them.

I plan on using airbrush for most parts, only hand brush parts that are too small / too few in numbers of the same color.

>primer
isn't "primer" also acryllic/laquer paint? how are pic related different from other black/gray paint?

You may not like it but this is what the Nu should look like, anything extra is chinkslop

>>23732004
They're just engineered to stick to plastic better and have a dry surface that paint likes to stick to. Primers are a lot less tough than paint because of it. Paint dries harder and is more abrasion resistant.

When is schizophonic review up

>>23732004
Mr Surfacer isn't a primer in the adhesive sense, the Mr Primer is an actual primer that helps with adhesion with non plastic materials (like metal and resin).
Regular mr surfacers like that one on the left is just lacquer paint with putty mixed in (which why you can sand these more easily compared to normal paint). The number denotes the size of the putty pigments that corresponds with the sanding grit surface they can fill in. So 1500 surfacer fills in imperfections from 1500, and 500 with 500 grit etc.
1000, 1200, or 1500 doesn't matter the colour is sufficient enough for priming plastic. 500 is more like a gapfiller, and surface texture is akin to rattlecan primers.

Anyone here build thr ZZ ver ka? I'm messing with mine after a few years on a stand and the place where the legs connect to the body, like the section where the two leg pegs are, is super droopy. It's on a bit of a hinge that swings forward. Almost feels like there's a lock for the transformation sequence that isn't in place, but I didn't see anything like that in the manual.

Got the leggings on. Not really enjoying panel lining this guy. Lots of the edge type that aren't really taking to the panel liner well. Also weirdly the calf panel lines went super shallow I assume due to a mold issue. Don't have a scriber yet, but I did a very small amount of work with a hobby knife to at least keep some of the paint in there.
Also one of the photo etch pieces from the back skirt disappeared over the last week as it sat on my table.
