New 30ms body seems to have a ball joint in the upper thigh for extra leg movement.

>>11725797
The other thread hasn't reached image limit

Haven't built a Frame Arms Girl or Megami Device in like 7 years, did they fix the wrist joints breaking or do you just need to buy spares?

>>11725816
These are probably going to become by go-to kit, then. 30MS is lacking in articulation, but this could help a bit.

>>11725843
They already have spares included in the kit are made of POM material so I haven't had any break so far as long as I grind the pin a little if it feels too tight.

>>11725833
I'm fine with leaving it like that if the schism is finally over

>>11725843
It's fixed to a point they stopped printing the stand-alone wrist joint kit. Reprints of old kits still have the problem, but you can find replacements so easily it doesn't really matter.

Will work on the sisters and fags?

>>11726039
The brush is different compared to the extra thin. It's wide, while extra thin's is thin.
Whenever it'll work or not is probably going to be secondary because you'll just have a shitty time trying to apply it.

>>11726040
I can just swap the extra brush that came with the extra thinn bottle.

>>11726039
If you mean the literal Tamiya bottle labelled as "ABS", then you're in for a bad time. It's more of a glue than a cement, so it doesn't melt the parts together like cement does. So it still bonds things, but not in the manner you really want for most model kit purposes. If you want cement that works really well on ABS then you need to get either Mr. Cement SP, or make your own copy (about 65% acetone, 35% MEK).

Is there anything else I need to get or know before starting? I've seen people mention removing seam lines with cement and then sanding? Is that something I need to do?

The thing about plamo is that you can go as far as you want to with it with how much work you’re willing to put into them. Some are happy with just snapping their stuff off the runners and leaving nub marks, and that’s fine, enjoy your kit however you like, but just be aware that there’s always the type to call you out on that. I don’t think you need to fully commit to painting every kit, sometimes just sanding nubs, panel lining, and a matte topcoat is enough to make your model really look nice and takes away that cheapy plastic look. And moreso if you want to play around with it and not worry about scuffing paint. As for seamline removal, that’s up to you. I like to use cement just to glue non-moving parts together because I’m an autist who doesn’t want my stuff to ever come apart, even though I’m the only one who touches them and that wouldn’t happen anyways lmao.

Sounderous Battle Mode is easily forgettable, making Second's figure form easy to miss, not to mention the most expensive Gridman girl action figure to date because of the combining gimmick. Now I might hear a commotion in the figma thread regarding wanting to see Anti's human form in Dynazenon (he's called Knight by that point).

Mao is a pretty beginner friendly kit if you can handle tiny pieces like the hair ornament.
Most of the gates are placed in a smart way and just neat knife-work will be enough for it to look good. Translucent parts are tough to clean - take it extra slow with them.
White parts are extra forgiving during clean up since stress marks turn white. If you'll get a tiny mark on a different color, you can try to gently rub it with your fingernail and it should come off.

I do recommend panel liner at least for the cat faces, but DO NOT use panel liner on ABS parts.
p.s. don't bother with stickers.

One one hand, the decals aren't there, but on the other - the face blanks are.
I think they made the right choice - It's easier/cheaper to get the decal sheet separately than trying to find the koto store bonus with face blanks.
And that is if that bonus even includes the faces!

By clean up do you mean things like using a knife/sanding joints and nubs from where they separated from the runner? How would I tell the difference between ABS and non-ABS parts?

>>11727038
Usually with Koto kits the runners say the material on them somewhere, like "ABS", "PS", "POM" etc. If you're still unsure it should also be indicated in the manual.

Kneanut is here.

Pretty mid-tier Kit. Nothing too insane, no blow me out of the water engineering. Her thighs are bigger than the heads of sousai girls, and her own head scales to 30ms and megami size. Her body is fairly disjointed and gappy, though carefully posing hides it well. Her articulation is quite limited, don't expect anything more than a Sousai with a short skirt, even her elbow motion js fairly similar. Funny enough, despite her long hair it isn't the back of her hair that blocks head movement, it's the loose bang in the front that constantly gets in the way.

>>11727063
I'd go Nurse > Ninja > Raider personally. Not that Raider is bad but Nurse has nice breasts and they share a lot of the same parts so separating them will help the builds feel nicer.

>>11727144
Carolina's nothing special re: articulation, but I thought her normal colour variant was a fine build.

>>panel lining
>How would I go about doing this? Is there any specific thing to note about panel lining for MD kits or Mao?
Like the other anon mentioned, the instruction manual will tell you which runner is made of what. Putting panel liner on raw PS will be fine most of the time.
Just be sure to have the part cut out before hand and apply it on the part BEFORE assembly.
I personally use "pour type" gundam markers as they're less harsh than tamiya panel liner in a bottle. I'm confident you can apply the gundam marker one without having to spray top coat/varnish beforehand as that's what I do.
You can clean up the excess with isopropyl alcohol.
>>matte topcoat
>I assume that's related to painting? What would I need for it?
This is entirely up to you, but some people like to use top coats on unpainted kits just to get rid of the plastic-y look. If you do paint, it's pretty much mandatory.
I don't think Mao requires any color corrections besides some minor stripes that you get as stickers.
>>cement
>I'm mostly worried about making some kind of mistake I can't correct with it since this is my first time really getting into building a kit.
Then don't cement it!
Mao's pretty well made and the 2 instances of seamlines worth removing (side of upper torso and paws) won't really stick out all that much.
>By clean up do you mean things like using a knife/sanding joints and nubs from where they separated from the runner?
Yeah. Remove the piece from a runner using your nippers leaving a bit of excess gate and then snip it off again leaving a little nub, then carefully remove the nub with your knife. Cutting motion helps prevent stress marks. The nub mark will always be there most of the time, even if you cut it out neatly avoiding any stress marks.
Don't go crazy with the sand paper as it will change the texture of the plastic slightly. You can use a sanding sponge all over pieces that are meant to be cloth or skin to matte them out without needing varnish.

They’re fine. Once you’ve built one, you’ve built them all, armor barely modifies the overall construction. Pick one with your favorite design and tighten up the hips and knees a bit or it will have a tough time standing in its own.

Which 30ML kit is worth getting more, nu!Tiasha or Rei? Or I could wait for the Samurai Troopers kits since they can fit over Sisters, Fantasy and Preference through parts swapping.

Boy, the shipping prices from Japan (to Wisconsin USA anyways) might suck ass, but I'll be damned if that Fedex option isn't quick as shit. 3 and a half days and my 2 Gii kits and Doro figure are here.

>>11729370
If you have no love/feelings to Eva as a series Tiasha or really any of the other kits are the better choice. Rei is nice but you are paying for the brand name in that and you do have to deal with a couple of stickers as well.

>>11729380
Rei's 00 number in her Plugsuit can easily be filled in with a lining marker anyway, but I honestly want Asuka more because of Honkai Impact and how she wielded the Longinus.

>Hobby Lobby and Michaels are now stocking 30ms kits and parts in US stores

This is such a weird timeline.

>>11729382
But you are getting my point, you have attachment to them and the show so the extra 20% mark up in price makes sense, otherwise you are over paying something that all the other 30ms girls do the same or better.

>>11729383
Michael's in leafland (at least the one nearest me) finally got rid of the old revell/monogram model car and plane kits that shelf warmed hard and replaced them with gunpla. Honestly it's an upgrade, those old kits were ass anyway. Although the reason is probably because kids these days aren't allowed to play with glue.

I really enjoy the look of the armored bits here and there, but at the same time lament there's no full set of armor available for all limbs. Could get her decked out like a monhun character. Everyone loves armored dresses.

Posing her with a spear is difficult - not much you can do with a spear.
You can just point it or maybe display the full length, and having the end of the shaft resting on the ground would look a bit awkward with how wide the skirt is. This is entirely my skill issue.

Light sanding should be all that it takes. Buff it out till smooth then use finer grits to return the surface texture. You can also start by evening out the surface by scraping it with a hobby knife. Regardless once you finish sanding remember to buff it with a cloth, a soft t-shirt will work.

This happens all the time on soft bandai plastics, it's a very easy fix.

>>11729947
HLJ is fine for the most part. The only bad thing about them is that they don't allow you to cancel shit anymore (you used to be able to do it right up until an item released), and they're often taking forever to ship items out compared to how speedy they used to be. There's no actual harm in using them.

>and the crossover thingy with SST.
Agreed, but I can't deny that the mixed parts they often showcase look really good. And these new faces with movable eyes have more of a Megalomaria feel compared to the SST's printed faces. Plus the masks with the hair looks pretty damn great, gives it a hybrid/power-up form for the Anothers and their human counterparts.

>>11730328
I agree with you, I like them together and how they can mix but not as the same time, it's hard to explain and it's a very autistic feeling.

Anybody else that picked up Gii prepare yourselves- this little fucking gremlin is an endurance test. She's so small, but she has more parts than damn near any girl out there. She has a high number of seam lines too (albeit all in easy to remove spots), so the total build time will be significantly higher if you do seam line removal.

I used silicon shock oil on my very first MD kit about 3/4 years ago and the item hasnt had any issues even today. I mayve used too much because he neck joint is a bit TOO loose now.

On the contrary, I had bad experiences with silicone grease. Instead of making joints moving better, it made them move with visible resistance and loud squeak, also getting stuck easily.

What franchises do you want to see have model kits? After seeing the Angels of Delusion in Zenless Zone Zero, they have to be brought in to Bandai's 30 Minutes Sisters line with all of their weapons being perfect for the brand.

>>11731444

Nothing a bit more mecha musume-related springs to mind, if that's what you're asking.

>>11731444

More spine. I wasn't very comfortable with how the ball limbs were mounted, so I felt I had to use some superglue for more rigidity. You'll see what I mean if you build this kit yourself.

>>11731557
Coming along nicely. How long have you been at it so far?
And how long is the part you've built? I think the dragon was supposed to have a gigantic wing span of 80cm? Though typing that, it doesn't sound right.

>>11731653
Two and a half sessions. Today was only a short one because those tail segments are very repetitive.
So far, roughly 30cm long- or 1 foot.

File: 11220000b10.jpg (169.7 KB)

>>11731653
I'm guessing the 80cm wingspan is with the clear parts included, and stretched out as far as possible.

I mean, each wing here looks easily over twice her height, going from the very tip, so that's got to be at least 60cm right there.

quick question i had as i got the kemopla model kits in and they are my first real ones: is their any particular kind of matte coating I need if i'm wanting to give them one?
by that I mean is it okay to go with the spraycans or should I opt for brush-on stuff? I've messed with miniatures in the past but never bothered to put a matte or glossy coat on anything
I was pretty sure I'd read somewhere it was more so preference but I'm wondering if a spray would be a bad choice for a smaller kit or for someone new to it and likely to overdo it

>>11731926
I always use mr hobby super clear spray.
There's no reason to use brush-on stuff if all you want to do is spray the whole kit.
And obviously, you want to go with matte since you're making kemopla which is furry stuff. (Unless you're going with wet fur concept)

>>11728251
>>11730328
Do naked-body replacements exist for Megalomaria kits like these? I already have Maria Kagaribi on my wishlist, and I saw the demo video where they swapped the heads with another kit with a schoolgirl sailor uniform, but I was leaning towards getting a body replacement that I could put cloth clothes on for more customization/fashion potential. That's already what I'm planning to do with the Nuke Matrix Cyclone Hopper, since it's 1/12 scale and I'm going to be headed to SE Asia on vacation this summer where I could probably get ahold of 1/12 scale clothes without paying an arm and a leg.

>>11730082
>HJL has its problems but this is on the shipping company.
Any particular one? I was going to opt with HLJ quick pack.

>>11732040
Oh yeah on the topic of HLJ, how often do they have sales? I know another Japanese store usually does spring time sales, idk if it's the same with HLJ.

>>11731444
Symphogear sounds like the better choice but let's face it, bandai almost never makes good choices
personally, and if it would depend of me, I would take a certain (In)famouS series from over a decade ago and make kits of the girls (just because I don't want to pay a minimum of $200 for one of the old figures in good condition)

>>11732040
NTA but pretty much ALL shipping companies have issues at some point.
Shit just happens.
UPS destroyed my package.
Fedex sent my package to a wrong address and it was forever lost.
DHL sent my package to a wrong COUNTRY.
USPS had my package stolen in customs.

>>11732045
It's usually like every 3 months or so for each season and a small useless sale in between which they recently had.

>>11732025
Nope. Actual body modification parts largely only exist for MD due to how Koto did their licensing bullshit (basically they only allow it for MD and nothing else). And since the only people really making much in terms of customization parts are Japanese or in a country nearby that obeys (mostly) Japanese IP laws and what not, nobody really ends up doing anything other than MD parts.
>>11731926
>preference
The "preference" part you hear about is always in reference to the TYPE of finish (gloss, semi-gloss, matte), not the actual brand. Most brands of canned topcoat suck asshole because they're not meant for things with tiny details. If you're going the canned route then try something better like the Mr. Hobby sprays. Tamiya TS sprays as a close second. And while you can use hobby-grade brush on stuff only really do so if it's all you've got access to, or if you're just putting it over basic details and small bits (brushing some gloss over a lens or something for example).
>>11732045
Kind of. They do holiday sales on the days you'd expect it, but they're usually super mediocre and either for items that nobody really wants anyways, or such a pitifully tiny deal that you might as well consider there to be no deal at all.

>>11732050
So a spring sale would be imminent, but I guess if the discounts are so minimal there's not much point waiting. They gave me a 15% off code for my first order, but I guess it's already expired.

>>11732048
Christ, I guess I should count my blessings that after all the orders I made on Temu/Aliexpress, I never had issues that bad, minus a few damaged boxes.

>>11732050
Hmm, not even Chinese aftermarket kits? The Chinese are notorious for not giving a shit about Japanese IP law, that's why they've been shitting out all sorts of Gundam shit from outright clones of Bandai kits to making Gundam IP kits like 1/100 Kshatriya or 1/144 Serpent Custom.

I mean, I guess before I even contemplate something like this, I'd need to find out if the Megalomaria kits even correspond to any similar existing scale like 1/12. If it does, then it would probably be possible to find a 1/12 scale body (I've seen loads of them on Ali) and then find a way to kitbash it.

>>11732025
You can use the Sousai Dress Up bodies with Megalomaria, not quite naked but meant for putting doll clothes on.

>>11732068
That sounds like exactly what I'm looking for, thanks. Don't need lewd naked, just a body that I can put doll clothes over.

Oh Jesus shit, this whole thing is its entire own goddamned ecosystem, isn't it?

I started out thinking, "Hey, I like this girlpla with the red sword and black dress, and they showcased a similar-looking girlpla that goes with it in a black schoolgirl uniform, maybe I can get one or both and do some dress-up for maximum fashion." And then it turns out that there are entire dress-up bodies designed at different sizes and different skin tones for the short or tall girls, and you can buy different styles of feet and shoes and props, and there are entire hair styles that are sold separately, and whole other bodies with different clothing options from swimsuits to sportswear, and holy shit what kind of hole did I just dig myself into. Not to mention that it's all 1/10 scale, which I can't seem to find any clothing of on AliExpress, and which is clearly going to be incompatible with the 1/12 scale Cyclone Hopper.

It would be a hell of a less headache to get only the Dress Code, now that I know what I'm getting into here.

>>11732081
1/12 and 1/10 clothing are close enough to be interchangeable.
SSJ recently launched 1/6 scale dress up bodies, which will be easier to get clothing for.
Be sure to check places like Amiami (if you're not banned), Suruga-ya (they got a bulk sale*+free EMS shipping until 12th right now) or Mandarake (good if you're buying one or two 'small' kits as they have limited shipping options) for pre-owned kits at a bargain.
You'll be paying for the shipping and customs tax, but it's usually cheaper than paying 350% of MSRP in Yrop.
Air mail package costs somewhere between 2k-4k yen from my experience if it's one or two kits.
Be sure to pay in Yen, too. Places like HLJ run their own conversion into other currencies and, obviously, it's cheaper to pay in JPY.

*Suruga-ya upcharges their items with gaijin tax, and during a bulk sale you gotta order like 30k yen worth of items before discount for it to be a good deal.

>>11732081
Careful. There are people that easily spend more money on doll clothes than clothes for themselves to wear.

>So a spring sale would be imminent,
Yup, they have a spring sale at some point. It's still worth checking out on the rare occasion something you might like goes on sale for an okay price, but it's not something you should EVER bank on. The only time you get Japanese figures and kits for a steal anymore is through the BST thread, other personal sales places (like on MFC), or when Suruga ya's English site is doing free shipping promos.

>>11732065
Yup, even the Chinese. In the past number of years they've started increasingly not fucking with Japanese IP law for certain things (I'm sure there's probably some sort of more recent legal/cultural reason why, but I've not heard of it myself). That's why those bootleg kits using literal copies of old FAG and MSG parts no longer get made and haven't for years. They do, however, copy third party shit like no tomorrow, so a lot of the MD body kits and what not made by Japanese fan creators have bootlegs. Again, no idea why, but the only thing they do with Koto's girlpla at this point is just copy other shit the Jap fans make for them, and since the Jap fans don't make shit for anything but MD the Chinese don't have any MM stuff to copy. Whereas on the flip side, like you mentioned, they give zero shits about Bandai and just openly create their own take on their designs. Shit's weird.

So I'm looking through past FAG kits through Dalong and it occurred to me that Chubby here has a separate hip piece whereas recent releases before her don't have it. I'm also noticing that the elbow join is also different too.
Is this an unofficial introduction to a new joint system in the future or are these things exclusive to chubbies only?

>>11732871
Separate hips were already a thing since Materias and recent boat girls and china dress burgers have em too.
Design-wise, MDs had them since the beginning but that specific hip is for Kagu series because of the hip being attached on a inner body frame.
I don't think it'll work on other thin girls tho.
It looks like the hip inner frame exists only because of Kagu's ameri-fat body.

Not sure what you mean by different elbows cuz they're the same elbow like other girls.

>Go with air mail as the items are small enough not to bankrupt me
>3 days after I paid
>Recent shipment suspension, sorry bro
>I live nowhere near the middle east
I know they stopped Air Small Packet shipments, but I chose regular air parcel shipment which shouldn't be suspended from use.
I'd use the epacket thing, but Ami decided to limit the order value to 20k yen when choosing that.

It's happening across all stores AFAIK: Solaris, buyee, Amoco and meccha.
In other news I finally got pic related

>>11733042
Lucky. I pre-ordered her on N2G (seems to be available there right now, actually) along with another kit. But the latter got delayed by a month (for now), and there is also the shipping suspension, which my country is affected by.
Either way, that's gonna be a headache.

>>11732965
Most of Europe seems to get fucked too, since those flights tend to pass over/have stops in the middle east. It's hard to blame the stores not being able to keep track of the go/no go zones when it changes suddenly with no warning due to geopolitical bullshit.

Just when I finally decide to ship out my HLJ bits AND order a Huckebein Boxer off Mandarake this shit happens.

>>11732955
Anything from outside the EU gets smacked with 21% VAT on everything including shipping, and a nice €13 on top for customs and handling.

>>11732955
In my country, any order that exceeds 150€ is automatically fucked by import tax. So I space my orders below that amount or split in two including shipping. I'd rather pay the store than this shitty government that hates me

Well shit, you guys opt to use a company like UPS? Or Postal? Seems with the shipping companies you get to pay out the ass for brokerage fees on top of whatever else.

>>11733200
I get them delivered by national postal service whenever I choose the cheapest option like epacket light, sometimes when amazon ships anything it is by default dhl or fedex but as soon as it enters my municipality the NPS takes it and delivers it instead

>>11733200
Cheapest option always- which is usually surface parcel.

>>11732868
Waste of money.

>>11733200
Depends. But whether it's private carriers or my national post, I get hit either way.
And the latter has a service fee here, too, that's like 5 bucks cheaper than DHL's. So I can't even save much in that regard.

>>11733200
Stuff like SAL or EMS get handled by the national postal service, while couriers like DHL, UPS or FedEx tend to charge a few euros less for customs and handling but their shipping rates are much higher so they're rarely worth it.

D'awww, doesn't she look all happy to be blowing shit up? Also, holy shit this box is huge.
Wasn't a fan of how the previous König Monster gal looked, but I think these colors suit her better (plus the decals for the mech are cool - she even comes with optional pin-up stickers of Ranka and Sheryl to slap on the hull). Not sure if it's just me, but the tits don't look as bad (or as big) on her as they did with the previous release, either - looking at the actual runners, I think they shrank her a cup size, so they look less like saggy torpedoes (though they are still sculpted at an awkward angle). Won't know for sure until she's fully assembled, though.

>>11733249
>so they're rarely worth it.
Figured as much, last time I used DHL the extra fees were ridiculous, at least they were FAST, but fuck.

I like how the buster doll gals look, but the armor/suits... not so much, too many 3mm holes to look presentable

witch's box/hephaestos does lewd mods for various brands on top of MD, but if you're not a TWbro you're going to be having to mess with failbook and feeding the zuck in order to buy their stuff, mostly. a bunch of their MD stuff shows up on booth, sold by shichimijustice, but that's it.

>>11733264
that box is one of the ones that leaves me to laugh when people look at koto's double-footprint ones like what gii's in and think they're seeing a huge box. crazy ass thing, and extra crazy how it's not even all that full, even with the sprues still bagged.

Anyone familiar with those Nuke Matrix kits? They fairly decent? The Mad wolf kit has been tickling my fancy.

>>11733516
I built the harpy and siren and both are great

>>11733534
Oh hell yeah, any bits that felt a little brittle?

>>11733595
I don't think so, some of their plastic feels slightly soft instead

>>11733516
Siren and Mad Wolf builder here. They're both pretty good, I wouldn't hesitate to order anything else from Nuke Matrix but siren's accessories felt a bit lacking. No complaints about Carolina, but if you plan to paint or topcoat you'll probably want to do so before you assemble or be extremely thoughtful of your build at least. Tons of layered in clear parts that'd be hard to remove in that kit.

Horrid waste of money. Way too low-power to accomplish anything of value. Instead you should save your money for a quality pen sander from a brand known for their quality.

Wait, that cute little bastard is a villain? That's delightful. Didn't even know Hexa Gear had proper lore.

They've been hinting at SST, HG, and Megalomaria all sharing the same setting for a while now. Officially, you can make up whatever canon you'd like- but the idea of Emma getting pulled into a fucked up future dystopia with androids and military mecha running around is just too charming.

True, but they made up for that by giving her a whole "Beach Episode" kit.

If they're Hexa Red, they're all bad bastards. Emma and Mephisto aren't bad bastards but the bad guys are more fun to hang with.

Was the Levante a fun build? I've got a Veloce in the box fort and might build it next.

>>11734013
I really enjoyed it, can't go wrong with any of the bigger hexa gear dudes.

Isn't Mephisto one of the bad Another variants? I think the bio says they're usually seen around outbreaks.

also Gii's box is fucking MASSIVE
when I saw it I just thought she had one of Koto's large size boxes like Susanoo/Yukumo but nope, it's even taller than those

>>11734214
her box is like her breasts, deceptively bigger than it initially seemed.

>>11733954
>>11733903
God damn, gonna have to snag one of their kits off of Aliexpress at some point, think there should be some compatibility with some kotobukiya kits?

>>11734214
I think her box is actually the largest in terms of volume out of all girlpla when you DON'T include kits where 95% of the plastic goes to some sort of giant animal robot that has fuck all to do with the girl herself. Hilarious in the end since she's so fucking small. It's crazy how much plastic she actually constitutes though.
