PROBLEM:
Right now a theme can win with less than 50% of the thread having ANY interest in participating in the theme.

How to solve shitty themes winning:
Allow negative votes.

Allowing for voting against themes would lower the scores of both your favorite niche theme and the cancer retarded themes, while increasing the scores of themes that everyone would be okay with, but are no ones favorite.
The theme that is the "favorite" for the greatest number of individuals != the theme that the most people would want to build.

>>23819127
Squad is pretty gay though.

>>23819127
>less than 50% of the thread having ANY interest in participating in the theme
Coincidentally less than 50% of the thread build anything at all. The system ain't gonna work better no matter how much shit you add because there's no way to filter actual builder votes

>>23819132
>>23819128
>>23819127
The real solution is since GBD already collects emails, is to have the people who actually submitted in the previous build have their votes could 2x/3x towards a theme, as they are more likely to actually participate.

>>23819137
Oh yeah, and if they vote for a theme and don't participate once it wins, they should get a penalty in the next poll.

>>23819137
Making new emails and participating in the groupbuilds under each one so eventually I can rig a poll singlehandedly and every groupbuild is just me competing with myself and like two other guys. And I'm just toiling away on kits all day full time.

>>23819143
That's the endgoal of the project /gpg/, the wall that is meant to be scaled

Am I good to continue on a girpla project I started last year but burned out on partway through snapping the base kit together?

How do I check kotobukiya's reprint schedule? I'm specifically looking at their 1/6 metabee.

>>23819142
That is a bit much to track, I'd just make it compare to a single list of emails so it's easy to re-calculate for GBD

>>23819109
Sure but tell us what you are making cutie ;)

Goddamn the borders on Bandai slides are thick. It makes positioning them such a pain in the ass.

>>23819148
I feel like the base kit being built already is fine. It's when someone has a project they've been building and painting for months prior to the groupbuild starting that goes against the spirit of the competition.

>>23819127
Ehh, I could try Ranked Voting the next time around, though I'd do 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th favorite theme instead of having an option that counts as negative points.
>>23819137
While the polls do require you to be logged in, I don't actually collect emails from anyone with them. It's mostly there to deter ballot stuffing
>>23819181
Resin kits should be fine, and it's a character from a Gundam anime so I see no problem with it. I'm probably gonna use a Resin kit I bought ages back from e2046 ages ago.

Surugaya always has cheap girlpla.

Are you supposed to apply foil stickers before or after topcoating? I always do it before applying the final topcoat, and I've seen some arguments for and against it.

Nope. You will have to get either of the two official 30MS waterslide sheets, get a different line like MD or go third party. Also, most of the 30MS kits don't come with blank faceplates

That's because they already started high and have stayed there. $29 for a HG 01 Gundam is pretty expensive, given that it's basically just a recolored White Gundam but with a different head. These are essentially tariff prices, and we should celebrate only when they start coming down.

Mascot Anon here, The slot for request are still open

Participant may request one of the either:
A. a mascot with suggested theme, usually a creatures
or
B. Bust portrait of their Ace Custom's pilot(Reference appreciated)
Currently expecting to be able to provide:

One slots full color final product remain(no background, one slot preserved for Burst Hail, will be given to next in line if request isn't made)
The remaining two slot will be given a sketch of their request
Please post picture of entries not used by groupbuild dude(WIP and older photo is okay) to verify your participation.
This post will be repost until the slot are either full, or one more thread after the final theme is confirmed.

Posting some work in progress for Nyuren's pilot.
This is the current base design for her portrait so far, although the final design might differs.
I plan to make her hair white, and here is her current pilot suit design. I may opt for the version where the jacket and inner pilot suit are opened in the middle.
If there are any change you would like to request please tell me.

>>23816089
As for the Akaitsuki's mascot, I would like to apologize for the delay, I am currently coming up with her design, hopefully I can show it to you soon, as of now I have settled on making her a miko warrior that wield a samurai sword.

its for snapshitters, this ""tech""" isn't even new its been used for tools and other junk (like your toothbrushes) for decades prior. Only reason you dont see anyone else doing this is because its significantly more expensive to tool.
Hence why bandai only uses it to a few pieces at most these days or heavily reuses the mold like the old RG b frame or any premolded hands MGs and PGs have..
