Nice.
Sorry to have you answer that, I was just curious. I still need to watch the series but I'm afraid I'll start buying them like the guys are doing with the shipgirls. Hell, the dude from Berserk couldn't resist, how will I?

I say do It. I have a Satsuki GK coming my way that I am going to paint. Would love to see your work.
Anyone have a recommendation on a high-tech sort of set-piece to use as a background when taking photos of your sci-fi or giant robot figures? I see a certain one being used by many different reviewers that is pretty nice, anyone know what it is? If that's out of print then any other ideas?
I've mainly just been taking pictures in front of the window on my computer tower, which has worked out pretty well, but it's not quite large enough to give me the freedom I'd like.

She's such a pretty GK! I see there's another wave of the pre-painted version that'll be available soon... ugh, that's very tempting.
tempting but I think I'm going to roll the dice and take my chances waiting for pre-owned... Let's see how long I last.

I've only painted miniatures. Chibi miniatures. A friend of mine wanted some figures from his boardgame painted, so I got to do those. Once I get these kits and start work on them, I'll post progress and pics for everyone.

Someone snatched up Rorona before I could cave, not sure whether to thank or curse them... At least I stay pure Nendo for now.
Here's my MFC profile. I'm sending out invites to people I recognize from here, but if I missed you then just poke away.

If you have pictures I'd still like to see them If you don't mind. It's welcome here. I posted my Warhammer stuff back on page 313. I enjoy seeing other people's painted stuff.
oh wow, i didnt know it was that one.
Picturebomb post incoming.
Alrighty, Tart finally got here. My first Vertex figure. She's not a new release but I had never seen it before until mid January when I was browsing mandarake... after some picture hunting I decided to bite and I'm pretty glad I did. She's really nice. I <3 swordgirls, even ones with pretty but impossibly impractical costume designs like Tart.
I was experimenting with some new lights so wasn't sure how these were going to turn out. I wasn't able to get a few shots I wanted because I need more lights for them to work (in particular, the way she's standing makes her face hard to photograph), but I'm pretty happy with how most of this turned out, being the amateur that I am with this camera.
Anyway, as requested, and without further ado, some pictures of Vertex's 1/8 Tart scale. Here's the album with all the pics http://imgur.com/a/8II7y and here is a selection:
Red one is better anyway.
Don't worry. It's not that hard to find her nowadays and, well, the red one is better anyway. I do highly recommend either Olivia figure (red one is better), just be aware the box is large (like 2 cubic feet large) so shipping could be pricey.

The flag pole, rings, and stands are metal rods so they're sturdy but the flag itself falls off the stands very easily. Other than that and a few really minor mars on the finish, color me impressed with this one. My first impression of Vertex is a good one.Big box! Flag takes up a lot of space.
After getting her set up...
She's quite tall with the flag pole.

Aye - sure! I'll try and find everything as I put my modelling station back together (just moved some things around the house). Most of my stuff was given away or sold back when I got out of brush painting (huge Tau and Tyranid army, nearly all Cygnar models produced and 15+ mercs for Warmachine, and tons of unpainted models I picked up at GenCon 3 or 4 years ago).
I got really big into Gunpla and other models (Kotobukiya and Tamiya cars) which is how I learned to airbrush. The only model I still have sitting around is my Kotobukiya Mega Man kit:
Before
After
Outside of the seam lines I didn't fill and the light scuffing and scraping due to storage and knocking around, he still looks pretty good.

That looks good. The eyes do look nice. I look forward to seeing you paint GKs.

I've built that b25, b17 and f86f. They all sucked because I was too young and impatient but I've done them...

What the fuck? That's awesome. You are really good, wow.
My Steam backlog is legendary...
even in Hell.
Haha, nice.
looks like my tabletop wargaming backlog. I'm painting some tyranids now... some of these guys have been primed for the better part of a decade.
Here's the first one in hive fleet behemoth colors... I sort of botched the highlights but I have to paint like 29 more of these guys so there's room for improvement. Obviously I need to finish basing him, as well.

Awe, thanks.
Most people don't realize it was painted until I show them where the paint chipped. Color matching is so fun, and with Mega Man, that's about the only challenge. His blue is actually like 10:1 blue
urple. Color theory is fascinating to me. Airbrushing is super fun and puts me in a zen state. I'm actually more excited for GK stuff because I'm not a big fan of posable kits. The paint tends to chip unless you sand all the joints down enough to prevent any grinding. Also, you have to wait like 6-10 days for paint to cure before you can top coat and assemble. For GK's, I'm pretty sure I can assemble and then top coat. Makes my hobby time more enjoyable!
E: That model shelf! <3
yeah, thanks omlet, now I do think I have to get Tart.......

That looks really good. Good luck painting all those Tyranids. I've been trying to get rid of a good portion of my 40k models because I know I'll never paint them. I have Eldar, Dark Angels, Tau, Cadians, and Death Korps of Krieg.
I'm trying to get rid of half my marines and all my Cadians. Gonna keep the DKK because they'll look good with this guy when he is done.

I'm still a padawan near the guys in the thread, though, otherwise I would do it.

Thanks a lot for the information, it gives me courage to keep going, seeing your dedication.
Thanks, yeah I find the painting of these guys go a lot smoother if I don't think about how many more i have to paint and just try and relax. I also got rid of a lot of 40k and WHFB stuff recently, mostly Chaos Space Marines and High Elves. I'm probably going to go through all my Warmachines/Hordes stuff and get rid of that soon since I don't play either of those games anymore.

sent you a PM, let's get this thread back on topic.
So, after ordering Satsuki and Ryuko I think I'm in the clear until like May and then again until July... At least until they announce the P3 Yukari scaled fig. I willl pre-order the fuck out of that figure.

I'll paint it for you if you don't mind zero color separation, no shading, and no eyes.

Dumb question, but where can I find the stand used for most of these nendoroids, when they are being photographed.
Looks like it's stuck in the bottom of their foot.
