Thread 82278826

good evening, bots. tonight i will get started on building Automobile Robot, which looks an awful lot like optimus prime. come share your builds, models, or any other crafts, this saturday night

da bags
tonight i'll be enjoying some music from my collection, with watchmen in the background

>>82278826 (OP)
Your threads pushed me to buy my first box in more than 20 years, picrel.
First time building something not Lego. The parts don't seem to fit as perfectly, but it was fun all the same.

hoboy, guess i signed up to apply 109 stickers
crying emoji

>>82279065
yeah the build feel usually isn't quite as good as real lego, but there's some pretty interesting kits out there if you look.
hope you enjoyed your return to building

>>82279507
Sure did. But I need bigger sets, that one was quick to finish. Next I'm buying the M777 also by Sluban. I'm afraid this might turn into an addiction.

>>82278826 (OP)
looks very badass anon. have fun with the stickers. where do you even keep all the models you finish building?

this build is going quite slow on account of looking for pieces in one big 800 piece gob

>>82279862
>might turn into an addiction
heh heh, yep. better watch out.
at least these knock off kits are more affordable than lego

>>82280169
they're sitting on some counter space in a side closet area.
but space is running out over there

>>82280182
Dividing them by color and then by shape or size beforehand could help.

>>82280268
surely it would help.
one thing about the knock off kits is sometimes they just want you to open every bag at the beginning :[

well time to wrap it up for the night.
still a lot of pieces and stickers, hoping to finish in the next session, but we'll see

>>82281213
Didn't know you were into DSBM. See you next week

>>82278826 (OP)
You should also get started on acknowledging snorpu! If you don't know snorpu, look here >>82276967

>>82281246
heck yeah, baby.

I am almost done with my spitfire currently. Just need to add the decals on it and hang it up on the ceiling.
>File too big
fuck...

>>82281307
nice. you must show it off when you're finished!

>>82281327
I should have it done in about a hour or so. I got to let the decals dry first.

>>82278826 (OP)
It's definitely supposed to be Prime. Looks cool though, even if it is a knock off sort of thing. Does it turn into the truck?

>>82281885
no. just robot mode.
this was like over $100 cheaper than the lego version.
but i just learned about picrel.
damn this looks cool. and it's expensive as FUCK lol

>>82281885
bumpin for that spitfire

>>82281953
Getting close to finishing it. I still have several decals to put on it and I am all finished.

>>82282097
lookin good, anon.
nicely done

>>82282210
The Spitfire should be done by tonight then the next one I am going to build is the Focke wulf Fw190A-3. 9 more to build after the Focke wulf.

>>82282467
damn you already know your next 10 builds?
i will hope we get to see some of those in the future.

this is the closest i've been to building an airplane haha

>>82278826 (OP)
Yo Lego guy, how is the progress going? I don't really do arts and crafts but I got the war for cybertron game recently.

>>82282821
I bought the kits already, its just I need to put them together. I went tanks to trying out ship building. Didn't like it but I am willing to try it again really. Now I am building planes. With planes its just painting and putting the pieces together. Most of the kits come with 2/3 "trees".

>>82282920
hello, anon. done building for the night. just got the torso done, and started building the head.
>war for cybertron
i still have that on my 360 hard drive.
i really liked that game, but it feels a bit rough going back to it these days

>>82282932
what type of kit would you suggest for a 1st timer? i may want to give something other than lego bricks a try some day

>>82283079
Hope the Lego Optimus looks cool
I got my war for cybertron for the ps3

>>82283079
Don't get into ships right off the bat. Maybe if you get bored of doing planes/tanks really. First time kit it depends on what you want to do. If you wanna build tanks. Start with either a Panzer or Sherman. Scale size I have built my tanks in 1/35. When I use to build tanks back then. They were 1/48. Planes wise. I just did a cheap kit from Tamiya for like $20 or something. currently building my ww2 planes at 1/48.

>>82278826 (OP)
i got some new hardware on hand, what have you been working on lately?

>>82283178
Zimmerit?

I am still working on a 1/144 Stuka. I am also now a Zvezda importer to the US, but I am hoarding it as all of my own. And honestly, I would sooner Zvezda than ICM, despite the virtue signalling.

Hello fellow buyer of chinese knockoff but most importantly dramatically cheaper lego crap.

I'm told the actual company is called "Sluban" but whoever it is seems to have other chinese companies who buy their shit, jack up the price a little and then resell it with their sticker on it.
I also assume they're just not allowed to sell these where people would slap their PP for obvious copyright infringement or whatever.
The listing I can find for the OP says "RiceBlock".

I collect and make IBO gundams and was able to recognize the barbatos and vidar at a glance.
I think they may have even cost less than the HGs they're next to.
Each of these lego looking things took me like 5 hours to build and I do kind of like them.

>>82284141
forgot the image of em

Is that some sort of chink pirate lego?

>>82284151
Nice collection, anon

>>82284190
thanky
Still no release date for "mineru's construct".

>>82283981
>Zimmerit?
Yeah I used that grey tamiya putty on the tiger. Some of it looks good and some not so much. I mainly wanted to build German tank aces: Michael Wittmann's Tiger "007".
I'd say get any kit that you find interesting really. After I get done with the Tamyia kits (7 ww2 plane kits), I'll just building the Hasegawa kits (3 kits).

>>82284265
I see. Get a Hasegawa 1/48 Exec jets, if you can. They are worthwhile. Also look for the Bandai/Revell/Minicraft GA aircraft.

>>82284316
Maybe later. Right now this what I got currently. I'll be busy for awhile.
