'>>10985640
So fun fact: the Tamiya ABS cement is actually a trap. It bonds ABS, yes, but it doesn't function like regular cement. The Tamiya ABS doesn't really melt the plastic much like other cements do, so it's actually REALLY awful for seam line removal on our little ladies. For ABS parts you either take your (decent) chances with regular extra thin Tamiya cement, or you get some cement that specifically works on ABS like regular cement (plastruct bondene white cap is a popular choice). For fixing your particular issue you've only got two real answers- either make sprue goo out of the flesh colored runner and fill her blemish in that way, or cut the torso open along where the seam line would be (a sharp hobby knife will do this easily) and then redo it with something other than the Tamiya ABS cement.';

I hate how Wilber-9 FAG looks. Too much musume and too little mecha.

Again, this anon is correct. Two things:

1. For sprue goo, you can get a small glass jar, and melt the runners in Tamiya Airbrush Cleaner (it's supposedly the same as Tamiya extra thin, but much cheaper and more economical for making sprue goo with). Apply it over the gap and try to press it into the gap as it start to set-up over a few minutes. It will look like a mess at first. Wait 24 hours before you sand it off. Try to sand it rather than use a knife for removal since I've had knives accidentally tear the plastic in the past.

2. If you plan on cutting the part open (last ditch option), make sure you use a few strips of masking tape to make a guide for your blade.';

I love how that thing looks - really gives off some old Busou Shinki vibes, though that gear is clearly much larger than what any Shinki I remember owning ever having.

On the bright side, with all the units assembled, she and all her gear fits nicely into the much smaller Karwa Chauth box—meaning the Ganesha box wasn't necessary for storage.';

'>>10986377
Wilber-nine is an earth FA, but she's the first one to be designed by Komatsu Eiji (Hres' designer). Sort of unrelated, but I'm really looking forward to picrel's FAG design (Wilber's predecessor) since I think they could go a bit crazy with it.';

Not necessarily. https://www.kotobukiya.co.jp/blog1/fa/article/detail/285/ says that Frame Arms will stay around, but that Forme Arms is essentially a lower-cost reboot of the line that removes the frames. It's a similar relationship to the Block 1.5L and Block 2.0M MDs, with the upcoming Frame Arms Gourai and Stylet II being 1.5L and these new VFA series Forme Arms kits being like the Buster Dolls.

Some people do this, yes. There's a couple of creators out there that've designed their own custom mecha musume with the rough design philosophy of the engineering you expect out of official kits behind them. No exact copies though. A couple of these people have released the files before. I think there's a couple on the typical STL sites, and then there's one Japanese garage kit guy that released them on his Twitter (don't remember the name though). Otherwise you have plenty of third party makers designing lots of accessories and body parts (sometimes entire bodies) and selling those on BOOTH and what not. The actual prints though, not the files. Generally the girlpla community don't release their files, so you're stuck buying horrifically overpriced parts from them instead.';

No. They are good solid kits with good mold quality. The only problem with them is that they have very poor color separation, something fairly unavoidable when considering how intricate some of the macross color schemes are.';

Of the abs? I'm planning on using these and some other conversion bits on the big Sitara kit.';

'>>10989082
I'd tone it down to semi-gloss. That way it still has some shine while being different from the metal. Mr. Hobby has pearl clear coat too as part of their lascivus line that looks good while not being the same sheen as their other topcoats.';

'>>10989091
Semi-shine as in satin? Because I only have Vallejo stuff, gloss, matte and satin, polyurethane, normal and "mecha" (behaves differently but I dont really know whats inside).';

'>>10989095
Satin should be the equivalent. If you have Vallejo's metallic varnish you could use that on the metallic bits too to further differentiate them.';

'>>10986967
it's a separate line because they're built differently than Frame Arms -- Frame Arms all have skeletal inner frames with armor then attacked outside (like Bandai MG models) while Forme arms are built like bandai hgs with no inner frame. presumably this will reduce part count and cost';

'>>10987354

'>>10989981
I got it from Cults 3D. I'm in the same boat with wanting useful body pieces. Those abs and some hair are pretty much the only megami device conversion bits you can 3D print. 30ms STLs are even more nonexistent somehow. You can find lots of 1/12 props at least as lots of action figures use those scales.

>>10990263

no kidding, a new saturn 4 is basically 2 dollars more than the mars 4 ultra. I was probably going to just do some parts because I hear resin's too brittle for a full set, but maybe I should just go for the bigger one.';

'So this part broke in one of my Megami Device kits.

'>>10990673
Resin is fine for plamo use. The Brittleness is really only an issue if you're going to make super tiny and thin parts like antennae and what not. Smaller pieces can shatter if you drop them, but that's no different than plamo plastic breaking when you do the same. Resin's real downfall is when you get into larger pieces- the stuff is really heavy.';

You can get those shipped for about $43 during one of Suru's NOW ONLY (read: at least once a month), FREE SHIPPING sales if you're in a country they offer that to. Factor in proxy fees and international shipping and you've probably still saved a few bucks.

'>>10991876
Every knock off sh studio thing ive bought (around 5 or 6 kits) was fine. Only had one kit that came missing a piece, and the guy shipped me an entire extra kit for free. All of the brass joint pieces ive gotten off of there were also fine (though I only did them with one figure). Only complaint was the waist joint was a little stiff to move, a dab of wd40 or such would probably fix it though, but I didnt feel like taking her apart again to test that.

So many people are scared of knockoffs. This aint WH40K where miscasts and air bubbles are king.';

'>>10991952
I said I knew from experience. Mine metal joints were floppy and I couldn't get them to an acceptable place with a heat gun or the usual varnish tricks.

Adding to >>10990961
you could use ABS-like resin which is more durable and mixing in Siraya tenacious resin into normal resin which keeps parts tough.

They really should do Megami Device, the base body could be reused far more than Gourai. Even Elena would be better because you could switch out the human half. On that note, why did Bandai stop Mega Size Gundam?';

I have a feeling that these "dark" colors looks a bit cheap. Do you think I should paint her whole, minus the skin and hair? I pulled off "dark blue-violet" shade before with Nuke Matrix Fox girl, I could do something similar again.

You are aware that this is original color scheme, right? I only used slightly different shade of red and gold, black parts were not painted at all, simply covered in gloss varnish. Surface effect you speak of is simply matter of how Army Painter dries, had same when I sprayed Fox (on pic, chest armor). Environmental factors have nothing to do here, as expected when spraying in sunny day, with around 20C outside, on third week without any sort of rain.

Don't need to remaind me of thinning paints, I paint miniatures on regular basis so I already know about it. Or perhaps you mean the gold layer? This indeed was rather failed experiment with Vallejo "Liquid Gold". It simply separate too quickly and since it's alcohol based, it easily reactivate any layer beneath. I will need to find better solution for gold - their Metal Color line is excellent and easily best metallic colours I dealt with but only gold in this line is silverly instead, probably to match shades on real life avionics.';

No him, but control? That coverage is really spotty, you aren't controlling as much as you think. For depressed parts like that it really is easier just to pour the paint in and clean up the overspill after. The pour type markers would work okay for that if used properly too, granted, but your money still goes farther with paint. Also, I think you should do the same to her chest plate as well, it looks under-detailed in comparison.

Sure is neat that you get two whole bodies though.';
