Wow Gundam thunderbolts creator found about the new chink kit of his AC guy and he's not happy!

>>23903551
Thunderbolt creator is a cool guy even if Thunderbolt itself is hot garbage, so I'll have to side with him on this one

I miss the Build series. Seeing variants of old suits was fun even though I wasn't a fan for a lot of them.

>>23903579
There weren't ultimately that many variants I personally liked but I think it was a ton of fun anyways. I hope we get something else like it again. I feel like they could just loosely adapt Gundam Breaker Mobile into an anime and it'd go over pretty well. The characters were reasonably well liked and it was a fun GBF-style kinda plot.

>>23903551
>>23903555
i can understand that he wanted to be involved if it were to happen. the chink kit is a for profit thing after all, so its less like a fan scratch build and more like being cucked out of his own design while the chinks make some money off it

>>23903546
i dont have pics but i did the bb309 kakouen dalas and i want to try panel lining but I don't think that's the gunpla for it

>>23903551
it seems the chinks got the files for the Acguy when that Metaverse leak happened back in 2021 or so
so Bandai has been sitting on it for about 5 years now
so fuck them

>>23903605
>>23903555
Karma for depriving us of Super Gundam vs The O

>>23903579
GP action base reprint when?

rate my haul

>>23903647
Looks like a good time just remember to take breaks when you huff lacquers that can lead to permanent brain damasduiwerpfbnhuiwe4opd

>>23903647
get some hardware store thinner so you're not cleaning out your airbrush with your mr hobby stock

>>23903647
Neue Ziel and the Merc/Vay are extremely cool, nice pickups anon

>>23903653
I already have it. gotta resupply soon.

>>23903655
for double the price in japan. I hate this hobby so much.

>>23903656
when you take the time to paint and work on your models the markup ends up not really being that big a deal, these are cheap kits so even double the price is still pretty much nothing compared to the time you put in on it

Based freedom fighter.

>>23903647
What colour are you doing your Zaku?

Is the Twilight coating MGEX bootleg good?

>>23903667
NTA
but if I could buy a bootleg that I knew for a fact would somehow lead to a bandai exec going hungry, I would.

>>23903647
>Neue Ziel
holy nice

>>23903671
why would you want it?

>>23903681
because the original is a scam?

>>23903667
>>23903668
it's $5 so I ordered without thinking

>>23903669
same as Neue Ziel, metallic or candy green.

>>23903684
but why would you want the mgex strike freedom?

>>23903671
No

progress on the thing

>>23903705
>connecting the balls
it was cooler when they were just individual bulbous protrusions bro...

>>23903709
hm yeah i kinda see your point. doing it like this lets me conveniently install the rocketlaunchers in the front though.

>>23903714
What if you made a mount for the rocket launchers inbetween the balls?

>>23903551
He removed entire web release of Thunderbolt because the company he worked with allowed a pedophile to return to the industry after his jailtime, as if the manga industry itself doesn't host a bunch of them already. This man is just too thin skinned.

>>23903714
I feel like I woulda put them where you put the big sculpted areas up top, I dunno though
calliope-style could be dope too
it does look good this way too but I really liked what you had going before

>>23903717
originally theyre mounted in the back where the stock „bulb“ sits. i could still do that and it wouldnt be entirely unreasonable since theyre homing missiles and the launchers can be swiveled. still feels kind of odd to have them behind such a big superstructure (which would block a direct frontal shot). so idk its either installing them there and leaving the bulbs as they are or keeping it as it is. i think making a mount for them inbetween the balls would look kind of messy, i prefer the current solution over that mostly.

idk if a couple people chimed in and agreed on the separate ball thing before it dries i may still undo it to the original.

I love how almost every Ma.K modeler turns MK44 into Black Knight. They just love it when the armor has a giant tumor on its back.

>>23903723
this was the way it was before, i think it still looked kind of barren. originally i didnt want to use the rocketlaunchers at all.

>>23903728
I would leave them off myself
I think it looks great without it, like those could be hovering equipment bulbs or whatever and that it just has one big gun freely aimable
maybe a point defense MG on the rear would be a good idea though

>>23903671
if it's Changlong, maybe. i keep hearing it's the more preferred brand of the two.

>>23903526
I am a Zoids tourist a d BT seemed to be the only one who had a sabre tiger knock off. I also have the real deal from kotobukia on the way, the extra markings version, to compare them head to head
>Buying the real version And the bootleg...
The bootleg was cheap and if it is not to bad of a kit I'll have Two sabre tigers! I am going to paint atleast one of them in a diverent color so they won't look to samey.

>I dream of thunderbolt Acguy model
>How can the Chinese do this to me?!?

>>23903795
saw a painted Liger Zero Panzer bootleg on a scale show model once. it doesnt look bad for a bootleg, the only difference is that bad fit, missing parts, and the whole thing being made of ABS plastic which doesnt react well to certain chemicals.

Bandai is dispatching a strike team into the depths of China to destroy the molds and the entire staff responsible for the Thunderbolt Acguy kit.

You just know the scale is gonna be fucked

>>23903816
It's gonna be "MG Sized"
as in "As tall as a MG rx78"

First time doing waterslide decals. Do I need Mark Setter/Softer?

>>23903820
Setter is nice to lock decals down before clearcoat. Setter is only required if you're trying to put a decal on a complex surface that it can't conform to otherwise.
If you don't use setter, just give the decal a day or two to completely dry before clearcoat and you'll be fine.

>no color/part separation for these nozzles
alrite this kit is gonna be really hard to paint with just an airbrush... gotta spam masking tape.
I thought this was gonna be a chill intermission project. I guess not.
also, I really hate it when sample images on the box/manual are fully painted instead of OOB. it's so dishonest.

>>23903824
Get some curved masking tape and it shouldn't be as bad.

>>23903824
Good lord that's bad

File: 1780303379666121.png (2.00 MB, 2000x2000)

>>23903816
they already showed the scale and it's about correct. the TB acguy is just happens to be tiny

>>23903824
>it's so dishonest.
But they always state that the sample is painted so it's pretty honest. Why would you even expect a proper color separation on a fucking SD kit anyway

>>23903827
fuck you

>>23903629
>Leak

I doubt this new Acguy was from that leak.

That leak got nearly all the structures and part separation information
It wouldn't take the Chinese 5 years to figure out that information and give you a kit

This Acguy is homebrewed

>>23903824
This needs an MGSD after Kshatriya.

I liked the gelgoog III until I found out it played for the lakers. Fuck the lakers.

>>23903837
reminded me of that acguy bootleg that comes with a basketball. is there some inside joke about mobile suits and basketball that us westoids are not privy to? I don't get it
