I feel like this is unfair.
Chino doesn't have enough figi, they really need to be making some for her.
What's the youngest erotic loli figure?
>>279534761Oh yea I got a new pic today.
do comiket tickets sell out fast? I'm booked to go to japan in august, and while it's not the only reason I'm going, it would be rather unfortunate if I can't get a ticket.
>>279534925I think it's probably a lottery? And if I don't remember wrong the process foe gaijin to go is kinda messy
>>279534970they say the june early ticket sale is a lottery, but not july one.

hey guys my friend is about to have his birthday, last time I gave him a kuromi plush this time i would like to give him something cute again do you guys have any ideas on what i could get him
he likes limbus company/anime/ chinese web novels/boxing
>>279535338Chino is my wife so I won't get them the rights to her figure
>>279535452You gave him a kuromi plush? Like he were a woman?
>The item is not found.
AAAAAAAAAAHH I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT

>>279535588yeah it was supposed to be a funny gift
but he genuinely ended up liking it a lot so i want to get him some more stuff in the same vein

Floor lamp recommendations?
Reporting my experience with the Discount Shelving glass cabinets.
A truck pulled up in front of my house with a 1000 pound pallet-crate. I asked the driver pretty please and he got it in my garage for me though he complained a bit. I opened up the crate with a crowbar (a little dramatic, could have used a power or even regular screwdriver) and there were 3 boxes inside for each cabinet. The heaviest of these weighed 58 kilos and even with assistance from a construction worker I enlisted we had to open them on the crate before moving them due to sharp turns in my house including on the stairs. The largest pieces of glass were 4 feet wide and nearly 6 feet tall. Carrying everything upstairs was an hour-long affair. It's possible to do by yourself but only if you have experience moving stuff like this.
As for the assembly, the instructions are garbage, like if Ikea made their own "draw the rest of the fucking owl" image. Before you add any glass to the base of the display, you're going to want to screw the bottom railing base down then add the bottom railing to that base and hammer it down with a rubber mallet (not included) so that by looking at it from the side it's really down in there good. Mallet on the rollers to the bottoms of the doors and secure the top railing to the ceiling glass piece (this part is a bitch, hope you have skinny fingers). Now you can attempt to follow the instructions and have a chance of not having to undo any steps. You probably will though because the walls have a "right side up" that you won't be able to eyeball before you get it wrong. Doing the assembly alone is also possible, but barely. Pro tip, you can take the doors off and put them back on even from a state of full assembly, you just have to lift them up and pull them towards you. If your doors are rattling or don't close evenly then you'll need to do this to hammer the bottom piece on better.
When you're done, they're beautiful. I recommend.
>>279535818I had to make myself look like an idiot with a sideways pic.
>>279535818Looks nice but you should be careful hanging that sideways off a wall. It's gonna fall if you aren't careful
>>279535818I was going to make a joke but a floating sideways glass shelf like that would look great
>>279535921I hate this editting.
>>279535691Liking little girls in frilly dresses is gay, liking Hello Kitty is girly (no hate to either just bee yourself and like what you want)
>>279535818Geez Louise, seems too much of a hassle. What's the web link of what you got?
>>279536037https://www.discountshelving.com/store/Displays/Glass-Showcases/Wall-Glass-Display-Cases/Glass-Display-Wall-Case-48-Frameless-WCF48
Yeah it's a big hassle but I did it for my figures.
>>279535841It's a 4chan thing it's not you
>>279536080It says minimum order they do is 3, so you have 2 more of those?
>>279536128Yeah I got three.
>>279535921That part with the Asdo white thighhighs look amazing. I just wish she had better hand articulation, it's so annoying that I can't have her holding a pistol two handed.
>>279536138Arm articulation I mean. Her fat fucking tits and frilly frills make her unable to move her arms front.
So hungry... but must figgie
I finished another GK last week which took about 80 hours spread across 2 months. I've also noticed that I've gotten a little better at this; maybe one day I'll be confident enough to have a Twitter account like all the other GK hotshots.
>>279536230Anime food looks so good
>>279536367On a side note, I'm acquiring kits faster than I can assemble them, which isn't great.

>>279536409Wear a respirator with a carbon filter
>>279536458Another question, leaving the actual kits aside, have you spent a lot of money on materials and equipment? And the kit looks awesome by the way

Would you buy a paint damaged figure when the original figure is cancelled? They released a few to certain people but stopped production. Unknown amounts but somewhere between around 400 units. Figure has all pieces retailed at 60k yen. They want 40k. I'm trying to haggle to 30k but am still willing to accept 40k
Nothing wrong with it besides the paint chipping
>>279536406I have a separate room for sanding/airbrushing, though I'm currently in the process of converting my closet into an office/another work area for hand painting (picrel).
>>279536409I always wear a respirator and vent the fumes outdoors. For good measure, I also run an air purifier whenever I'm working, wipe down surfaces afterwards, and vacuum the area twice a week.
>>279536520Thanks. I've probably spent 3 or 4k on equipment and supplies. The paints in the background of
>>279536367 is probably half of that; the only reason why I have so much is because I find buying paint to be a huge hassle, so I'd rather purchase in bulk and save on shipping.
>>279536978So fucking jelous
I need to move to somewhere with more room already
>>279536812>mirrorCool idea
>>279536850Cooler idea, not feasible.
>>279536919Could that damage the figgy?

>>279535285No, always finish in the front with Mahiro, so you can be sure to impregnate her. 9 months later, she'll push the babies out, and it will be incredibly sexy.
I feel betrayed, cheated and lied to. This is a disgusting undermining of the customers trust. FedEx is shit.
>>279538217Waiting for her to tank.
>>279538338I'd rather have an orchid mantis desu.
>>279538217I like how this one looks compared to the other one but like other anons said shes way too pricy. lord help my wallet when they make a moran though
>>279536961yeah if super rare and replace with beter in future and sell original if it worls out
>>279536961Yes, especially if its an obscure character.
>>279538503>>279538519Alright I think I'll go for it. A mint one goes for 90k so I'll just see if anyone buys it.

>>279539299I bought them off of ebay for $300 and then proceeded to wait almost a month for "express shipping" to show up.
>>279539339Jesus that's more than 40k jpy, I should have bought when they were on preorder... ABB...
>>279539359Ah well, the seller only had to sets left and after I bought mine he put the price for the last one up to $450
>>279536749that's always there, retardfriend
>>279536367I hope the officially licensed figures they get in (?) years look that good. Always happy to see anon's GKs in motion.
>>279534484 (OP)Hello the future is chinese market figures. Better quality, lower price.
looks like I'm getting my first 2hu figgie(if mostly on the hopes they'll eventually make Remilia)
she looks great and the price is good too
>>279536367looks good anon, by far the best painted GK I've seen posted in these threads

>>279536367Damn that looks great. How much money are you willing to charge to paint a gk for someone?
it's been a while
post preorders
>>279536627Damn that price is really tempting. Should I get it? I've been collecting only one character and this will break that rule..
Anyone else having issues with mandarake? It's been giving me a too many redirects error the past couple nights. "Is it down" sites are also reporting that's it's down, but then it works on my phone so I don't know what's going on.
>>279536627probably not worth it. pole too big and itll probably means shes so small they didnt put a scale on her. just give me a 1/4th chi with a low profile pole diorama.

I skipped big anchorage because of the censhorship but kinda want this, it's cute.
A 1/4 scale, with wall scroll and pubic hair sticker, available now for less than 13k? Will wonders never cease?
>>279542431plot twist: it's an actual granny
>>279542431>>279542520Lol. Screw you guys, I like them. I had one of those more modern tree lamps with the three rotatable heads and the glare from the bulbs kept reflecting off the glass. The torchieres are tall enough to go over the top of shorter cabinets like detolfs. If anon's looking for something more modern(and functional) I have these in my bedroom.

>>279541120a lot of plushes, two scales, one kit
>>279535759I got this Adesso 4099 but I don't see any stores selling it anymore. I use it with 60 watt bulbs in my office and that lights it up really well.
>>279543033At least this is faithful to the original art unlike the abomination that is this year's game re-release
>>279543103As far as display lighting goes, it does act as a really nice fill light from 6-8 feet away but you'll still want to have lighting in your display as well. And this probably goes for all floor lamps.
Any buyfags into plamo/Gunpla here?
>>279543747I wish I had the energy for model kits. There's a lot of really nice Digimon ones I want, but I barely have the energy for action figures anymore.

PO'd that 1/6 Renamon GK. Let's see how the furries will do.
>>279536978I hate buying paint too. I realized that I don't have a good dark blue, but I don't want to spend $10 to have a single bottle of it shipped. I will just mix some yellow into primary cyan and hope that it looks good.
>>279545619I actually bought pigments thinking I would mix my own paints...
I didn't even use the premade paints...
I need to figure out my GK situation, I need to find a workspace to do it
I don't know if this is the correct thread but I have a figure that is in need of a bit of tlc.
What are the proper paints and putty that you cunts would recommend?
>>279545658making your own paint is a giant pain. I only did that with enamel magenta since testors was constantly out of stock. but yea, EX-03 is constantly out of stock everywhere now.
>>279545787I just use the Gaianotes enamel magenta. It works so well for things like mouths when mixed with a bit of white and enamel Modelkasten c-12.
>>279545783depends what are you painting?
>>279545783Tamiya epoxy putty. Their regular putty thinned is useful too. For paint Gaianotes and Mr. Hobby are good.
>>279536801Have shelves be extensions of your desk, your desk crammed into the shelves, don't know how to describe it. Or just lose control and put figis on your desk until you can't see anything anymore
>>279538763Are there really anons who don't wash their hands at least 20 times a day here ?

>>279535818Im glad you took the plunge, I did forget to mention the right side up prt of the back glass piece. I didn't need a mallet or anything, I had the option to screw the railings in.
Next steps would be putting diffusers with LEDs in
>>279544861Go buy that one paint bottle you think you're going to use for one project but never will

Heads up Crunchyshit has Iruru's scale on sale for $60 again. It's only a 24 hour flash sale this time.
>>279536627I'll wait to see if she bins. The price isn't bad right now and I like Chi, but fuck me that pole is an eyesore.

>>279547352its nice but the wires and cicada sounds is also needed for the natsuyasumi vibe, that feel can never be replicated irl
also the pole needs to be like twice as long too
>>279547197I'm torn. I like Ilulu and it's cute, but that's a really boring outfit they went with. Wish they'd done her toy store uniform.
>>279547803It was my adblock
>>279547974I mean you don't have very many choices, she has 2 other scales and I think they're very hit or miss depending on your preferences. I do like the fact that this one comes with two bears who feel the same way looking at her as I do.
>>279548298She is incredibly heavy to the point I'm a bit wary of putting her in my current cabinet.
>>279543747Yes.
I bought the MG Deep Striker recently and my wallet is crying.
>>279548341How big is she and how fat is she?
>>279540470oh she's up on amiami and even cheaper than I thought
>>279548836Haven't weighed myself but apparently she's over 8lbs. Here she is next to some blu-rays for scale.
>>279548298>>279548341Did you weigh her? Now I'm curious about the size and weight. She does look huge.
Also, how's the quality? Still a PUP, but bigger, or are XLs a bit nicer?
>>279549078It's in line with the PUP Ls I have (which are nicer than the regular ones but still closer to a PUP than a decent scale). Given the size I'd say it's fine for the price but no more than that.
>>279540492Thanks. I prefer the original uniforms too, but I bought all the alt costume GKs anyway. In fact, I basically bought every shupo kits I could. I'm excited to compare and contrast them once I find the time to actually assemble/paint everything.
>>279541070Putting aside the fact that my skill level is nowhere near good enough to do commissions, I'd probably never accept one because dealing with the logistics doesn't seem worth it. Also, I've found myself growing emotionally attached to the kits I work on so I wouldn't want to part ways.
>>2795371554 bed/3.5 bath
>>279545619Buying paint is such a miserable experience for me. I'm still not very good at mixing colors, so I prefer to have a variety of paints on hand. I've been bouncing between 10 different stores to buy what I need because no single shop has it all. Pricing and stock varies wildly between stores too, which doesn't help.

>>279560074I get that they're trying to use actually iridescent paint when the illustration is only representing it, but I wish they actually tried painting the pattern instead.
>>279561611>B+it's usually fine but sometimes amico will fuck up and won't notice damage in places that aren't visible when the figure is displayed. I got a B+ that was clearly on a display for a while because the base was discolored under the feet, and there was some paint transfer that was only visible when swapping cast off parts.
Funnily enough, all my straight B without a + figgies were fine.

I'm writing a tool to aggregate and heavily filter search results from various stores as well as send notifications for new listings. Are there any features/ideas you'd like to see implemented?
>>279567384Damn you stole my idea but as long as it's done I'm happy
My dream is it would link to the entry on MFC automatically so you can use those tags.
Basically is you can just search for that figure without having to worry about all the ways it can be called or spelled, especially in Japanese <-> Romanji
However the extra bonus would be able to search by MFC tags! So you can search for all flat chest figures.
Basically instead of searching MFC and then having to search for those figures, just do it all in one place
>>279567555However I know that's not easy. Getting MFC's data would probably be hard, I don't think they have an API do they? Then automatically linking a random auction to the correct entry sounds like a nightmare
>>279567609>>279567555Yeah the dream is dead
>>279567651you could probably scrape the whole website and organize the data afterward
>>279567848That's what I'm doing with some of the stores as they don't offer a front-facing API (and what I assume many of the proxy services like Neokyo are doing as well).
>>279567555Do you mean integrating the sales page on MFC or do you mean searching all marketplaces using MFC tags? If it's the latter, I doubt that'd be possible as it would require the listings on the sites themselves to use those tags.
>>279567848That has already been done, although it's 2 years outdated (https://sukebei.nyaa.si/view/3997886).
>>279567920>Do you mean integrating the sales page on MFC or do you mean searching all marketplaces using MFC tags? If it's the latter, I doubt that'd be possible as it would require the listings on the sites themselves to use those tags.I was picturing parsing each listing and somehow linking it to the MFC item
Once we know YAJ #213412343 is MFC entry #123412342 we know what tags it has, etc.
However the linking is going to be hard since it's fuzzy. Like which specific Migu MFC entry is this, out of the 1000s. Is it Racing Migu 2024 or 2025? etc. You would just have to extract all the keywords like "Migu" "Racing" etc and get the first search result from MFC and hope it's correct
>>279568014Oi kisama, we know you opened the email
>>279568080Gotcha.
That'd probably be out of the scope of what my search tries to cover (just pulling listings). Might be an interesting idea for a standalone project for the future though.
>>279568014oi teme, it's time to payup
>>279544876>>279544814As a woman, Mahiro thrives when she is growing a baby inside of her, as her excitement builds to the day she gets to push them out, which is the best part.
goodninght i sleep figi dream figi be figi
>>279568240What happens if Mahiro stops taking her meds and grows back her weiner and presumably loses her womb while pregnant?
>>279568566Me when the payment request comes
>>279564440You think so? Women tend to like rape content though. Plus the story is all about a man forsaking the world in favor of love.
>>279564870>splatoon stickersWut
>>279568977It's non specific legally distinct octopus game stickers
>>279546679I did that and the paint evaporated.
>>279569578I have many bottles I bought but didn't use yet. Hopefully they don't die...

>ems and registered air shipped out at the same time
>registered air already in customs
>ems still in japan
>>279539191I, for one, like her.
Why is ems so shit?
Are they actually going to give me pickup details or am I just meant to contact the post office and see if they can help?
What is this pose in reference of? Some feminine James Bond variant?
>>279536978whats your lighting setup like? what are those empty glass shelves on the right for?
>>279570527Remember that SAL died for this

I think I want to keep a little Souther in my pocket to keep me strong in difficult times
At first I was joking but now I might actually buy him
Also some stupid bunny or something is up, I don't know
>>279571612Nevermind, the dream is over
>bought stuff at J-subculture, want to ship it
>UPS shipping cost is half of Fedex, and less than half compared to DHL
Is there a catch here? Why is it so cheap?
Been a while since I've been a buyfag. Like 5ish years.
Does Amiami still allow you to wait until the end of the month before sending an order out?
I'm looking at some of their preowned scales and nendos since I've missed a lot of nice merch.
Something I want is currently item A box B available, while something else I want is only B/B. So I want to secure that available A/B and hope for the other to show up as an A/B before the month ends, then combine it so I don't get extra fucked on shipping.
Do they still let you do that?
So if I do ems I have to sign for my package? That's lame.
>>279571880You're asking a lot of QUESTIONS when you should by doing a lot of BUYING
>>279570698Why not track using the carrier website? I get more details when I check through USPS.
>>279571880>end of the monthNo, you have a week from the payment request, but they take a while to pack it so it might end up being a month
>>279570698I guess I was too hard on ems, it looks like it was the post office's fault
>>279572150It just tells me ems and gives me a link to japan post for tracking.

>>279572622I got that one with the bluray!
>>279572622https://files.catbox.moe/apq073.jpg
>>279572638I want to get the bluray but I'd need to get a region unlocked player and I'd probably never end up using it.
>>279572699I can't play it, it just looks good on the shelf
>>279572699 >>279572715I thought most habitable countries were on the same BD region as JP.
>>279572754The one on amazon says this, though it's gone down in price by 20 aud so I might just buy it.
>>279572801>AUDAh, yeah Australia is region B https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00029369. The tooltip is misleading.
>>279571758Wait, so does this just not ship to anywhere in the Americas + China? maybe it's to do with the tariff stuff.
>>279571880I think you should be able to combine the order with something that's due to release this month. Something cheap and small like a keychain, maybe.
But if you buy just pre-owneds now, they'll send you they payment request within days rather than the end of the month.
>>279573379So buying some cheapo keychain to postpone the shipping still works then. That's good to know.
I thought they'd get rid of that due to abuse or something.
>>279573442You should be good as long as all items combine to a single order at checkout.
But remember, "monthly orders" don't get shipped out at the end of the month, necessarily, but when all orders for the month are in stock. So if that keychain releases on Monday, rather than the end of the month, that method would fall flat.
>>279573556It's all good.
I'll purchase a nice keychain or mug that I actually like that's set to release in august and wait. If the other figgy doesnt show then I dont combine order and I still get some other stuff I wanted anyways.
Thank you for the info though.
>>279571290I use 3000K diffused COB LEDs, 4000K for my Detolfs. The shelves are from a wall-mounted display kit I bought a while back. I haven't decided what to do with them yet, but I'll likely end up using them to display my small N-scale model train collection.
>>279571380Always glad to see ex-TERA players still around
>>279573567oh good I'm broke anyways, just gotta hope my August orders get delayed :^)
>>279573567wait really? fuck that sucks I already paid for her too
at least I have more figgies coming this month than august, but still
>>279570209depends what you're into
I don't like the fancier Remi and Flan figgies, they feel overdesigned, and most other ones are not cute enough, so this one is perfect for me
I want to get a Shimakaze for the office but cant decide which one.
I like Hobby one's ass.
>>279575130welcome time traveler from 2012
>>279575220trying too hard to fit in
>>279575220Shimakaze is timeless.
>>279575220kancolle only died in the west, it's still pretty popular in Japan
like 500 circles are doing kancolle stuff this comiket which is a huge number for something that old(it's a bit over a quarter of BA numbers)
>>279575130personally I'd get the GSC or one of the major damage versions(probably the one that's sculpted by Grizzry Panda). Why the fuck are there three different ones anyway?
The 1/4 Freeing one isn't awful either though I'm not sure about the face. Surprisingly that's also Grizzry Panda apparently.
>>279534484 (OP)Got her for 10 bucks a decade ago at some con.
>>279575533And her too for 25-30 dollars around the same time.
>>279575533>>279575602Do they still spark joy? Haven't been buyfagging for long at all, I wonder how I'll feel about my figures in ten years.
>>279575966They're still by my bed-side, so yes, they do still spark joy.
How long does ami take to cancel my order after they send me a payment request
I really love figgies of extremely sexualized underaged anime girls.
Who do you guys use for custom wall scrolls? I checked the guide already. I'm looking to reprint something no longer in print.
>>279576566I don't even know where I can buy them now :(
>>279575130I have the 3 most popular Shimakaze 1/7s and 1/8s as well as some other non-scales that are buried in a box somewhere. My personal thoughts are:
>Amakuni (Hobby Japan)It's nice that the skirt is force cast off-able, but the base is cheap and surprisingly large, plus the Rensouhou-chan was basically an afterthought -- it doesn't actually attach to the base or anything. It's my least favorite of the 3 and I don't actually keep it in my display.
>GSCUgly translucent blue base as well, which I ended up replacing with an acrylic block. Big fan of the smug expression and pose. I think this one's also the most expensive of the 3.
>PhatIt's the most compact and the sculpt is quite nice. I really like how it incorporates the Rensouhou-chans naturally.
>>279577226Hatsune Miku might be the world's most forced popular character ever created
Are there any stores that will ship with DHL to the US?
>>279577576This is how you spot underage.
>>279578690I cannot read this.
>>279578774tl;dr
they returned broken Eimi figgies to the factory, no ETA for fix(I assume it's going to be cancelled at this point)
Le Malin is delayed because the factory reached out to them at the last moment
>>279572622Cute Baiser
Hopefully KD will be making both Magenta and Azul too
>>279581303The FRIDGE migu...
>>279580776Is it just this angle or does her fringe look weird?
>>279556453wonder if they have anything else planned for Metroid, there's Meta Ridley and Dark Samus from the Primes and Raven Beak from Dread they could still do, oh and whatever stuff from Prime 4 too
God damn sexo please don't take 5 years to come out
Did anyone catch the Nendoroid Funs stream while it was still up? Apparently the retard in charge of uploading it forgot to put the timer on and the whole video was up for a few minutes, until they fixed it. Some things have been uploaded to MFC already, but not much.

>>279587185Sorry anon I'm an autist who would rather stalk all the regular places for years waiting for it to show up instead.
>>279587185why custom print a wallscroll, why not get it on nice paper and frame it at that point
>>279587238>>279587256I'm trying to reprint one that's no longer in stock but I think you're right. I should just make a poster of it.
>>279587475Is that the AI stuff one? Nah
I just framed my wallscroll...
>>279543747I was a gunpla enjoyer long before I was buyfagging scales. Never went beyond being a snapfag despite owning an airbrush for reasons. I miss monthly MG releases so bad. I've accumulated a lot of unassembled kits lately due to running out of space. Quite a few Kotobukiya kits rather than gunpla nowadays though. I'm excited for the MG The O re-release in a couple months, gonna have fun trying to find space for that fat fuck.
>>279587676I put together one of my backlogged kits over the weekend
I'm a snapfag too but I'm giving serious consideration to replacing that belly sticker with actual paint
>>279579770>>279578690>cancelling a figure on it's release monthno way right
fuck me I've wanted my fat tittied pink slut for years they cant do this to me
>>279588658That's pretty cu- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>279588658Jesus figgie christ
>>279588022If you don't want to totally get into painting, for small sections like that you could even just do hand brushing and it will look better than stickers. I did that with verniers and clear parts on some of my HGs before I stopped bothering. Just remember to thin your paints and do multiple coats, or you get brush marks and it will look worse than if you just stuck with the stickers.
My backlog right now
>Koto Eva Unit 00 TV ver>Koto Eva Unit 02 TV ver>Wave Tekkaman Blaster>Koto Jehuty>Koto Anubis>MG F90-III Cluster>MG F90 Unit 2>MG Stark JeganI never see the Koto Eva 01 TV ver pop up on any of the usual shops that sell used stuff, it's super bizarre. You would think that that would be more common than either 00 or 02.
>>279588658Do her boobs move like that when you touch them?
This is important.
>>279588929>>279588022>>279587676I've got a monster backlog that I haven't started because I'm basically paralyzed by fear of fucking up the painting process
I have an entire airbrush/paint setup purchased over the span of like 1 year and a ton of kits
>>279588358officially they're trying to fix her but it seems the whole shipment was fucked so who knows
also Eimi's better alt is getting a figgie too so just get that instead, unless you're really into the whole slight down's syndrome look
>>279534787They are the original designs.
>>279589140You can always start over if you fuck up parts by giving them a bath with a paint stripper or some degreaser (depends on the type of paint). Just, make sure it's plastic safe. I made that mistake once and used terpentine or something similarly strong from home depot. The parts I put in came out looking soft and like a dog chewed on them.
Get something cheap like an SD Gundam kit to practice.
>>279589175Nah no zippers, no undone shirt, no buy
And yup the more retarded a girl is the hotter
>>279589382I've got this kit that I was going to use as my entry since it's on the boundary of "I'd enjoy it if it turns out good but I won't be heartbroken if I fuck it up"
I'm still worried sanding and shit is gonna filter me
puberty situation is crazy
>>279589478get a glass filing stick, it makes the hobby fun and you no longer need sand paper.
getting a high end nipper also means less sanding as you can cut closer to the part.
>>279589567aren't you still supposed to sand before painting
>>279589550loli ass is something else
>>279589478>I'm still worried sanding and shit is gonna filter meNah don't worry anon, gunpla is easy mode. Bandai plastics, especially on modern kits are very soft and don't require much. You don't need to sand before you prime except for leftover flash or nubs. Just get some high grit stuff to sand with and you're good. The fit of modern kits is also so good you can do seam welds with plastic cement instead of putty if you want to ease yourself in.
>>279589550Dang, now I want this one instead of the bikini.
>>279534484 (OP)I think they look good for $10
I was expecting way worse
I think I made the mistake of making too big a backlog before even starting the hobby so now I don't know where to start because whatever kit I make first is gonna be a disaster
>>279588929My backlog is now cut down to a few Zoids, a Warhammer model, and a Lego set
So I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
>>279589810That's why you buy a cheap kit you don't care about for your first time, like any HG rx 78 2 or an EG
>>279589810literally any HG.
unless you plan on painting, proper cutting out the parts and sanding takes roughly 2+ hours while watching youtube imo.
just make sure you find it fun and don't think of it as a job.
>>279589762That's one of the more unfortunate faces I've seen for Frieren. I think it's the nose in particular.
>>279589567>get a glass filing stickCan you use that for GKs too?
>>279589810I also made that mistake...
how does Amiami preordering charges work?
would I get charged once the shipping is calculated and the product is ready? or will get a notification to pay?
also, can I cancel preorders if I feel Im not being able to pay? because I dont see the section
>>279589936I've got more paints than Picasso I gotta paint
>>279589762>>279589999Why not just buy some cheap ass prize figures? why throw money away on this greasy bootleg shit?

>>279570527Okay I take this back.
>EMS from Amiami (they declare country of origin as Japan) spent 3 minutes in customs, scheduled to be delivered tomorrow>registered air from hobbysearch (unknown how they declare) in customs for 2 days nowMight be because everything that's declared as made in China take weeks to go through customs. I guess we will find out how hobbysearch declares their shit.
>>279590045yes
using less pressure is like using a super fine grit
i use a gunprimer raser but any will do
>>279590134cause i was in Japan and i wanted a cheap souvenir
>>279590116you get a notification to pay once it's ready, you can still select the shipping methods and change address/payment method at this point.

lmao

>>279590116They send you a payment request email with all the shipping options so you can pick with their prices. You can just ignore the payment request but it puts you on a shitlist and they'll ban your account if you keep doing it.
If you're that tight on cash you probably shouldn't be ordering useless junk from Japan.

I don't understand why anyone would want a 1/3 scale sex doll. It would just feel so weird unless it was themed as a tiny person. Also look at this goofy ass face.
>>279593141From what I've heard, life-size sex dolls are pretty heavy and cumbersome, so I guess that's a big benefit along with being easier to hide from guests and the cheaper price.
