This is the new kit compressor from gaalheri. It comes with a gahd 39. I don't have an airbrush rn so I'm kinda interested in it mostly because they claim it's not noisy at all and just a bit bigger than a smartphone. However by their own admission the maximum pressure reachable with this combo (0.35 nozzle) is lower than 13 psi. Seems a bit low to me, then again it's extremely cheap so I want ur input on this. Would this compressor be OK considering that it also has no tank( kinda necessary considering its dimensions)?

hmm
you know wut just to be safe let's wait for the next thread for the groupbuild results

I'm kinda mad now.
When I suggested the Chimera corps theme, it was impossible because it was dificult for everybody to buy a Gelgoog, but now there's a Leo theme?
Why? What's the diference?

>>23811512
It's 30th groupbuild, anything goes. That being said, Leo theme is not making it past the first round so don't worry

>>23811506
And I dare to say that even cheap one with a tank is better than "premium" without one.

>>23811508
It's SMS pearl golden orange with some red mixed in. I also primed a bunch of the parts different colors to do different tones.
This MG gray zeta is the bootleg so all the stripes are different for some reason. Not sure why they felt the need to change them so much.

>>23811867
I mean, they had balls for trying. Sometimes you never know if you'll accidentally strike gold with a franchise, kids can like really stupid shit for absolutely zero reason (e.g. Six Seven). Look at how shit like Angry Birds took off.

As for Meta-style knockoffs, that's a ride that everybody fell for, not just Bandai. Even Zuckerburg lost $80 billion on his own bet after literally changing his company name for it, and he was also theoretically the one who would gain the most from it too. And hey, at least we got a sweet Psyco Gundam Mk. II out of it.

>>23811862

It's 1/87 again, but since the Zeong is such a weird MS with inconsistent depictions in size it won't matter as much as other kits

>>23811924
Is it smaller or same size as MG Zeong kit?

>>23811891
I read that more and more modern HGs are almost fully KPS, especially the majority GQX line. So the durability is better as well as matte finish but as a result the plastic could be scratched easily.

>>23811967
Slightly larger than the MG, the MG I think is 18cm and this is 20cm. You won't notice.

Yes, it has been confirmed that beautiful matte plastic is KPS on the GQuuuux, Red Gundam and very likely the Gelgoog as well. Probably part of Light Cannon, while Zaku and Rick Dom may have some elements. Not sure about the Gyan as I don't own that mould.

>Kurihara: The PS (polystyrene foam) material we usually use for the exterior comes in a wide variety of colors, but it's a hard material that wears down quickly, so it's not suitable for movable joints. That's why we usually use PS and KPS for the exterior and joints respectively. But this time, the semi-monocoque structure is both the exterior and the frame, so we decided to use KPS for the entire body. We've used KPS for the skin of our bishoujo plastic models before. The matte finish of KPS is more suitable for human skin than the glossy plastic texture, so we used it to differentiate textures, but we ended up thinking that it would be good to use for robots as well. By the way, the red Gundam that has been announced as part of the lineup is also molded almost entirely from KPS.

>>23812008
KPS is great for retarded nopaints because it comes already matte out of the box

I wonder how difficult it would be to fit the RE/100 Zaku Kai's armor onto a MG Zaku II's frame?

you're clearly blasting the part on full flow until it turns the colour you want which is how I imagine a chimp or perhaps an orangutan would approach this hobby.
do multiple thin coats. there's flow control on an airbrush for a reason and you should never be pulling further than halfway for hobby painting.

Perhaps you're holding the can too close? And you've got to do like quick passing spray. I use spray cans as well. You got to do a bit of trial and error to get a sense of the distance plus speed/ exposure/ how fast or deeply you press the spray. I typical do like a light 'tap' and as said, one swift motion from a distance, so as to get as light a coat as possible.

These group builds aren't about winning or losing, it's about getting your creative juices flowing. If they were about who won you'd see a lot more people complaining about how there's a bunch of repeat winners (Myself included). It's about making something silly for the hell of it, like a Grimace Zock or a Slavic Gundam Fighter or a Turn A painted as the main character from YIIK. As long as you had fun building and painting your entry at the end of the day, you're a real winner.

Seed Freedom HGs and GQX HGs represent a shift in quality. They last standard change was 2015 HG RX-78 Revive and Zeta Gundam.

I am lt sure of there were any turning points for HGs.was Narrative and Zeta Gundam Ver Ka different from everything that came before it? How about Gundam Vidar? Wing Zero doesn't count as it uses some ABS joints to compensate for its shorter height(like the F90).

If girlpla or mahou shoujo win I am going nuclear on this thread.

New HGs are getting close to early Robot Robot Damashiis.

Obviously, KPS isn't as durable as POM for wear and tear, but being almost full KPS in the GQX line does represent that they are able to make a light weight action kit adequately. I am aware that Siegaxe, GFred and Gelgoog GQ loosen faster than the Light Cannon and Zaku GQ as the former has more KPS.

I don't think other HG lines follow the same HG standard as GQX, Gundam Unit 7 and Gundam Zilius most likely follows Seed Freedom plastic recipe. Heard that the G Witch line was also a turning point in terms of plastic finish and durability, but succeeded by Seed Freedom.

GQX was clearly trying to do something ambitious with their semi-monocoque structures.

Technically all of standard PS in Bandai's kits has been replaced by KPS ever since the release of MG Sinanju ver OVA. I haven't build that much modern HGUC to tell but, the real shift could have happened after Build Divers.

>>23812592
I think the change people noticed is when they started making molds which take advantage of the properties of KPS.

>>23812546
I would argue the last "standard change" was when they started using fucking c clips in everything(around the HG leo I think?). And it wasn't a positive one.

>>23812564
All of modern HG are molded in KPS, however the KPS's tolerance has more to do with the color mixture. GQ Zaku, Red Gundam and Light Cannon uses dark grey for their joints while Gqux, HFred and GMgoog uses colored plastic for the joints. Dark grey and light purple are more popular choices for the innerframe and joints compares to other colors because the mixture doesn't compromise the durability of the plastic. You have heard of the infamous gold plastic, right? Yeah well it extends to alot others too, such as white plastic.

They stopped the C clip nonsense after Gwitch. The recent HG kits have been delightful to build.

They toned it down a bit, but it's still there.

How often are PG's reprinted? I've been thinking about the Exia recently.

/toy/ is useless so maybe y'all can help. Was superglueing parts and after letting a piece set for 3 hours I touched it and somehow it wasn't dry and got a glue fingerprint on it. It's already painted piece of a figure and I've tried rubbing alcohol to no avail. I'd rather not try light sand paper because there's no way I'd be able to match the paint if I messed up. Any ideas?

Did you sand the surface first?

>>23812747
yeah to get rid of the flash and mold lines but not like super thoroughly

>>23812752
There is no absolute way to protect the paint. The best way to handle it is to paint and leave it alone once you are done.

>>23812758
I think I fucked up by handling it an hour after painting

>>23812759
You should let it cure for 12 hours at minimum. Gloss coat protects the paint pretty well but it looks like ass.

>>23812732
There is no option but sanding and painting again. For next time just get cyanoacrylate super glue, gel is best for you, looking at that mess. And if you cannot into patience get a spray bottle of activator to go with it for insta bonding.

This post is from Bandai themselves, by the way. Anyone identify this version of Wing Zero EW? Whether it's the Real Grade, the first Master Grade, or heaven forbid, the Fighting Action kit. Or they're jumping straight to the HGAC Wing Zero EW after just making the Sandrock Custom EW.

Pretty sure that's just the old HG Fighting Action Wing Zero Custom.

>>23812836
>>23812838
Figured as much. The design feels simple and pleasing to the eye after a bit of extra work put into it, and it's not as mold line heavy as the larger and more expensive counterparts, which is why the Fighting Action kits sounds plausible.

>>23812828
I don't see them making HG for EW Wing Zero. The RG kit is still servicable enough for the 1/144 collection.

>>23812845
Beside ver Ka, most of EW Wing Zero kits look pretty simple. Even the RG can pass as a HG due to how minimalistic it looks.

>>23812848
Understandable... until they decide to make a 1.5 version of sorts with the transformation gimmicks from the Wing EW restored and baked on top of the base version, including shield and Drei Zwergs. The backpack would have its internal structure changed to add the shifting hinge, and will have a connector for the shield to plug into, and all that's left is readjusting the buster rifles to attach to the front to complete the Neo Bird Mode (Glory of Losers ver.). I mean, the Wing EW and Wing Zero EW share structural notes that can give it the transformation mechanics between the RG and MG, so why not do it again with the RG?

>>23812848
It's not necessarily out of the question though. RG Destiny was a 2013 kit, while HGCE Destiny Revive was 2019. RG Freedom came out in 2011, while HGCE Freedom Revive came out in 2015. And so on and so forth. RG Wing Zero Custom is a 2014 kit, so there's a bigger time game here than the previous examples, on top of the pre-existing HG kit being from an extremely old line from before the turn of the century.

>>23812856
The thing is, Seed has special care and love from Bandai. It does not apply to every other Gundam media. You would think they were gonna make revive HG for CCA and a large chunk of Zeta MS, but no, they got nothing.

>>23812868
The CCA HGs are quite good though and their RGs came along late enough into the line they've got pretty much no problems. They still made EG Nu very early on which is basically just a new HG anyways. I wouldn't think they'd remake most of Zeta stuff no. Zeta badguys aren't major kit sellers. Wing has as much special love from Bandai as anything does frankly.

>>23812874
I thought the titan's suits were sick as fuck back when I watched zeta, sad to see nobody really cares about them

>>23812874
Wing is in That situation where Bandai loves the protagonist the most and put almost every other guys into Pbandai.
>HG CCA are quite good
You can say the same about most of those old Seed HGs. CCA kits are almost 20 years old at this point and the way they belong to the hollow polycaps era does not help. I would kill for a Geara Doga HG made with the current quality standard.

>>23812885
only a few HG kits would make me as happy to get a new version as Pallas Athene

>>23812886
>old SEED HGs
I mean no, the old 1/144 SEED line is way worse than the HG CCA kits. If you have such a problem with the HG CCA kits I think you're a bit of a baby.
>P-Bandai
also made the HGs not p-bandai in the market most interested in them, and frankly has nothing to do with anything at all really, especially since all this is about the chance of an HG WZC really.

There is a literall concept art collection + yearly Pbandai release dedicated to Zeta era's test units. Alot of people care in fact, but Bandai would rather make Zeta Gundam kit for the 30th times rather than its enemies.

>>23812890
Advance of Zeta isn't Zeta, Advance of Zeta is an ongoing property and most of the designs released for it are the entirely original designs with nearly nothing to do with any Zeta machine. Very few people give a fuck about prototype asshimar. I'm sure an advanced marasai and hizack might sell too, but in reality both of those are also so far removed from their base suits they are just their own thing.

>>23812890
I'd kill for a HG of these

>>23812889
They are the same shit from that time period. How could SEED get a bunch of slop trash to be remade but not CCA? Isn't this movie one of Bandai's darling?

they came out several years after SEED HGs and are better made than all of them. They came out when 00 HGs were coming out retardkun.

>>23812902
correct, it's really not.

>>23812903
>they came out several years after SEED HGs and are better made than all of them.
I wouldn't call 2005 to 2008 to be that big of a leap. I built those old and busted early 2000s HG, i know what to expect and CCA HGs are just the same outdated products as Seed HGs. The fact that Seed got a bunch of renewals yet CCA got nothing infurates me.

>>23812914
you wouldn't call it that because you have no idea what you're talking about and weren't alive when these released lol.

>Seed has special care and love from Bandai
And so does Wing. Admittedly not to the same degree as Seed and Unicorn, but it definitely gets more than its fair share of love when it comes to kit releases. Hell, the fact that Wing Zero Custom came in 2nd on the worldwide Gundam vote tells Bandai that that there's still more money to be made capitalizing on Wing.

HGUC Marasai (2005) is the starting point for "modern" high grades. Anything newer that doesn't reuse parts is a good kit.

The starting point for modern HGs was the first kit with horizontal box art released in year 2000. Everything made previously were retro.
