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.

Retail. Fuckin' retail! I thought this guy is 100% gonna be P-Bandai because it's a pair of remolds. Consider this a draw, Bandai. Now I have something I want to get among the Hathaway's Flash stuff.

>>23734562
>>23734564
Well worth 30 years of waiting. We get the Leopard in August, but at the same time, they will announce the Leopard Destroy as P-Bandai next week so that those enthusiasts will get both flavors. Though my only real concern is that this guy will be more advanced than his brothers (and there's still the pair of RG GX+Divider Option and DX to be concerned about, on top of how we could even get a new G-Falcon because the Limited Model version is impossible to find at present).

>>23734587

it really bothers me that in the official art it has gold pistons and not silver

>>23734596
It has driven me crazy forever Ashtaron didn't make the 1/100 lineup back when
HGAW Ashtaron and Virsago would hit right, and I am greedy enough to ask for a Hermit Crab too

>>23734600
Silver price crashed, so Bandai did what they do best.

>>23734534
it will probably be an MG Ver Ka in a fsw years

>>23734601
You know the most ballsy kind of move? Release Virsago and Chest Break as one single kit you can change its chest with, especially because the Virsago kit had once been converted to the Chest Break with shared parts. The Ashtaron is gonna be difficult because the Ashtaron Hermit Crab is a complete overhaul with 50% of the original being left over.

>>23734562
The only announcement I'm excited for.
>>23734596
I'm now hopeful we'll get these down tge line.

>>23734608
Chest Break changes a little more than just the torso. It's got some different feet, skirts and head too

>>23734546
Hopefully with the Incom and Fin Funnel backpacks

This quiz part is supposedly the last corner.
Doesn't seem like there will be any more announcements.

>>23734620
RG Wing is quite recently, too and Bandai has been extremely lazy with this line. But we will see.

>>23734629
Bandai's probably aware of the MG kshatriya demand, but insteas of giving the fans what they want, they decided to flip the bird by releasing this

>>23734628
It really isn't

>>23734632
>MG kshatriya
too big for my shelf
>MGSD
Thanks Bandai your so considerate

>>23734634
Nu has 3 vents. So, Xi's new Gundam face reverted to the traditional, RX-78-2-style, lead Gundam face.

And again, there's still no Funnel Missile parts included. Those are still exclusive onto that HGUC Xi Vs Penelope special set.

>>23734628
The single most iconic thing of Nu's face are its triple vents you stupid shitposter

>>23734610
Still grounds to release the Virsago and Chest Break as one single kit with the chest being the only major change. Missed out on the head, though. Now, the Ashtaron is gonna have a massive mod job in the form of an entirely new backpack (the claws that are part of the backpack already are different, on top of adding the optional Satellite Launcher), feet, skirts, and probably forearm and ankle armor parts.

It'll just get a standalone release later, you'd have to be a retard to pay 13200 yen for an MP Nu.

>>23734657
This is retail. Your hypothetical standalone release might be Pbandai or some location exclusive Side F. You are a retard if you are willing to shill for that shit in the current year.

>>23734655
I'll just wait for the MG, this seems to be a similar case to the Narrative Gundam where its first HG kit was in its MA mode or whatever and down the line we get its MG kit.

>>23734655
is this a new mold or just a modified EG mold?

because HG Nu definitely needs an update and EG is really just not cutting it

As I work on the marker-painted zabol I decide markers are good for small details and nothing else
these things can't do any surface larger than maybe half a centimeter
I might just strip it and break out the airbrush

The best HGUC for Nu is a lesser version of Nu. What a time to be alive.

wasn't there a leak that said there would be an MG MP Nu? Was this just disguised as that

>>23734664
The EG brand might sound like a downgrade but EG Nu is objectively better than the HGUC one, especially with how it has KPS joints now instead of polycaps. The backpack is retail too, so it is nolonger an issue.

If they make RG Nu Gundam MP, they just only make new armor mold and the innerframe still the same, right? Same thing with MG, right?

>>23734776
Really? I've had a wet palette sitting in my drawer for the better part of a year now. I haven't wanted to bother with it because the inconvenience and the fact the paper is consumable.

It really depends how far they want to go. Sinanju Stein got a handful of new frame parts even though they didn't really have to do that.

>>23734785
Consumable, sure, but easy and cheap to replace all you need is some greaseproof paper, stuff without a coating, and the paint will also last longer, between multiple sessions infact.

It is as of they acknowledge chang did wat they Will never be able to

if they made an mg they'd have to go above and beyond to not ridicule themselves with the comparison, it's just not worth the risk with the engineering involved
plus everyone who wanted a big bellpepper already bought the osiris which is bound to be better value
going with the fresh popular line is a safe bet that avoids competition while still acknowledging demand kinda

I'm actually interested in MGSD Kshatriya bootleg version in the near future. 7700 yen default price is too much. MGEX Kshatriya is way too big.

Look at the PGU Nu. Bandai is entirely incompetent now.

>>23734859
I assume they started working on it before chink kshat was even a thing. These things take time.

Wait are they really making an entire new Xi kit just for a new face, rifle, and shield? Is there a decent comparison image between the faces?

I like the decision for the MP Nu to be included in Hathaway's Flash (besides Gunpla sales) is that it was to give Hathaway PTSD of CCA, seeing the "Nu Gundam" again

>>23734890
What's wrong with the PGU Nu?

>>23734904
Yeah. And in five or so years, they'll add the tail binder too :)

Uhh thanks I guess but I'd rather have a discount.
I'm not even sure if the guns are from the same line as the kit itself.

>>23735030
if you want to avoid extras and freebies order from USAGS

>>23735030

>>23735030
Qrd on buying kits from ali? Do you just sort by most sales when searching?

>>23735030
Those were probably for someone elses order. That person is gonna be pissed.

>>23735046
Ordering from there is always a gamble. The only way to avoid the total shit sellers is not to buy from where that has under a 4.5/4.6 rating. Most of the reviews are botted so if you somehow manage to get under a 4.5 rating then it means they're total dogshit. Regardless of who you buy from, it's also a gamble if the box enters the royal rumble and eats 15 top rope elbows or not.

>>23735046
1. Search for the kit you want. It might take a few tries since most of the sellers are Chinese and they toss all sorts of keywords in to maximize exposure. Bootlegs also obviously have to use various pseudonyms because they don't want to advertise themselves as official products.

2. Once you find what you want, scroll down to the "Related Items" sub-section to see if another seller is selling the same thing but cheaper. It's a decent way to check for competitors if they don't show up in your initial search.

3. Find a seller you would trust, generally by large number of good ratings, check under the price to see if it includes import charges (i.e. tariffs), and check to see if shipping is covered in the cost. Generally you want to aim for the one that has the lowest combination of advertised price and shipping, but sometimes you won't have a choice.

I don't know if I've just been lucky, but I've never had an Ali buy go wrong that wasn't my fault (put in the wrong shipping address). But then again, I go in anticipating that things can and will go wrong, and with the knowledge that my money may full well be completely wasted. So, I mainly stick to buying small stuff and accessories that won't be a big deal if it ends up going south.

>>23735064
seconding on ali generally being pretty good. the worst that happened to me was once the seller just never shipped the kit and I was refunded automatically within the day, so no big deal.

Snapped this Jim, mising a piece for another gun and one of the sabers broke so I used it as laser beam shooting out of the OG gun. Might try to fuse the incomplete gun with another broken one I got to create a functional one

you posted this bait already you fucking troglodyte

>>23735081
From what I can tell, they take the original kit, reverse-engineer how Bandai made them (probably use 3D scanners and such), and make their own molds where the parts are 95% similar but with new layouts. But since they don't have Bandai's know-how, their kits end up being inferior with fitting issues, flash, and all that jazz. The way I think about it, you're paying around 50-60% of the cost for a kit that's about 80% of the quality, so as long as you're okay with doing your own fixing up afterward, you'll probably end up with something that's about 90-95% as good as the real thing.

That being said, I stick mainly to buying aftermarket parts rather than full-on bootlegs unless it's something that's just absolutely not available or stupidly overpriced (MG Jesta Cannon, HG Moon Gundam, RE/100 Gundam Mk-III). The aftermarket stuff is usually done by people who have better engineering know-how since they're fixing existing problems with the Bandai kits (things like metal shoulder parts, improved joints, etc.).

That's not how you do the meme. You're supposed to post a picture of Nu and say it's undergoing a psychoframe transformation.

>>23735046
Finding the correct item can be annoying sometimes due to keywords gore. They slap "Bandai" on literally everything.
Sometimes the specific kit you're looking for might be hidden as a variant of a more generic listing for that line.
So be ready to juggle both ultra specific search term like exact name of the model and generic ones like "Gundam 1/144 HG".
Ideally seller should have the score around 90%+ and plenty of sales. If it's below 80 you might want to check other listings to see what's the problem, maybe it's just some retards dropping 1s for cancelled orders or scratched boxes.
Having review with pics for your particular item or others from the same series is obviously a big reassurance too but if none available you get the general picture of whether the seller is legit from their other items' reviews.

Still learning how to airbrush. Second kit I’m painting with it. Been using acrylics but they keep chipping. Would it be better to top coat each individual part?
I may be moving onto enamels but I need to research more. It’s been really fun, with rattle cans I just prime and spray but with the airbrush I need to thin the paint, get the right PSI, keep the airbrush clean.

>>23734869

That's the Koto Mazinkaiser kit, right?

>>23735152
Yes! It looks so good but the seamlines are very thick even when I push as hard as I can there is still a noticeable gap. And it’s very expensive for what you get. It’s mostly abs so my usual plastic cement was not working too well. When I was putting everything together the seams broke open.

>>23735149
>Been using acrylics but they keep chipping. Would it be better to top coat each individual part?
Yes, acrylics are as durable as tissue paper. Don't even touch the surface, let alone manipulate it for assembly, until it's been top-coated.

>I may be moving onto enamels but I need to research more.
1:1 with hardware store lacquer thinner, and it runs through your airbrush smooth as silk. The only downside is that it takes a very long time to dry and cure, so any pieces that you paint will be sitting on their clips for at least half a day.

I could honestly do something like this. I could steal the arms off an acguy and scratch build the weird shoulders from some spare zaku parts. The head would be difficult though. I may need to 3d print something.

Somehow I like this thing more than xi and penelope even though it's a total mess

Take a nose from some rocket/plane kit and shove a zaku head inside

>>23735289
Tragically the head is one of the extra zaku parts I do not have on hand. I'm not making a jurick since it wouldn't fit the theme but I'm gonna take some inspiration from it.

two or three or four at best including fuel tanks or only on fuel tanks these days on kits released past 10 years? All on curved surfaces 99% of the time so no worrying about softening the edges.

Including yours

Pretty big idea regarding a P-Bandai HGAW G-Falcon: Designed to combine with both HG and RG Gundams from the Gundam X series, the G-Falcon is fully transformable with joint parts to combine with all versions of the GX and DX, Leopard and Airmaster with trick clips and special joints. It will also come with extra weapons originally included with the 1/100 High Grades (DX's Twin Beam Sword, Rocket Launcher, G-Hammer, and Beam Javelin, Leopard Destroy's Heat Axe, and Airmaster Burst's Missile Rifle). Lastly, to add the "Premium" in being a P-Bandai release, it will also come with the G-Falcon Delta back cover that replaces the standard nozzle flaps. When the RG GX Rick Aller Custom gets made, it will be followed by the G-Falcon Rosa II Colors.

screwing around and want to do a low-effort custom paint of God Gundam (dont have an airbrush kit or anything crazy). The blue testors paint looks the closest but its a little boring compared to the metallic pens, plus im worried about air bubbles/brush strokes. Do you normally go for accuracy or what would look cooler?

So the PG Nu can get it's feet off the ground while mounted, but the PG Unicorn can't? Despite using the same stand?

Update: what an awful website.
I had a cart full of 99c items, and was jump scared by the notice about the new user sale only being applicable to one item, making the total cost of the cart go up 10x. Then it sent me through a gauntlet of those buy 1 get 1 free, and buy 3 get free shipping pages, where the applicable items are randomly generated. There, I found a few of the things I wanted for the cheap, but once I made it to the payment page, the kit I wanted disappeared from the cart.
I'm guessing the chinks recognized my information from an old aliexpress account I had, and revoked my deals.
