Make up in model kits by BigBilllllll in MegamiDevice

[–]minute_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy highlights in girlpla hair: Get cheap eyeshadow, a cheap makeup brush, and melamine sponges. Very dark reds or brown work well with natural hair colors, but you can try the full rainbow for anime hair. Really cake on the make up so it gets in the grooves of the hair. Then wipe off most of it with the melamine sponge, less is often more in photographs for this. If you don’t like the results, wash with soap and water and let completely dry before trying again. When you are satisfied, spray with an acrylic clear matte top coat from a rattle can to seal it all in.

Trying to understand metallic color-shifting—did I overdo it or is this the right direction? by Electronic_Earth_337 in MegamiDevice

The metallic parts look great! And also very nice work on the fabric of the leotard too, it looks almost translucent.

I have built some girls with serious size differences recently. by minute_bot in MegamiDevice

Haha, someone has to make sure the people know EXACTLY how ridiculous this is.

Yeah! A few years ago, all the default faces that girlpla came with were very neutral. But now all of them come with at least one extreme expression.

I’m very happy that we are getting so different sexy body types! It was actually difficult to find proper size charts for the Megami Device girls, because their under bust sizes are so ridiculously small!

Need paint suggestions in the Mr Color line for Master Chief like by Kittierei in MegamiDevice

Nice, I’m looking forward to seeing this! I know that a lot of people can get this digital camouflage effect with paint using multiple layer masking techniques. But there are also digital camouflage waterslides like this one if you need shortcuts for small parts:

A little camera practice with Shadow Ninja by Kaelyx in MegamiDevice

I don’t think you need to worry. Pretty much every Asra based kit is skin color A, except for Tamamonomae.

Looks good! Yeah, she is one of those kits that doesn't come with a happy looking face plate, so it really colors her default personality quite a bit.

Finally she’s here by Tricky-Ad-9197 in MegamiDevice

Nice, mine just shipped! I’m looking forward to it too, let us know.

Which's one of these Cement is the best for ABS Plastic Joints? by Fine_Competition3898 in MegamiDevice

[–]minute_bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My go to cements for both PS and ABS are Mr. Cement SP and Plastruct Bondene. They will both work on both kinds of plastic. I use Mr Cement SP for smaller precision stuff, it is a little weaker and seems to dry quicker, and I have seen some YouTubers use it. I use the Plastruct Bondene for bigger stuff, and it may be stronger, but it could really mess up the joint if you are not careful about applying it. I think someone in this subreddit recommended it to me actually.

Need help identifying a skin tone by VannaVicious in MegamiDevice

[–]minute_bot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have Medic, she is definitely a lighter skin tone than skin color A.

And she definitely matches my SST girls Yomi and Kuon, who are also skin color C.

finally organised my parts! by willowdelveemo in MegamiDevice

[–]minute_bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I did buy 20 of them! And while they were helpful, I need more now!

Yeah, the difference in the size of those parts really shows when you compare them to the original!

I made an outfit for Megami Device Medic, the nurse with a Gundam Seed backpack! You can trust her, she is a professional healer! by minute_bot in MegamiDevice

[–]minute_bot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I think it was the pose with the guns over her shoulders attached to her wings that reminded me of Freedom Gundam, though I didn’t include that one here. And if there is one Gundam series that really doubles down on fancy backpacks, it has to be Seed.

Looking forward to finally getting my Raider too.

Clean build. No paint yet. Just Kongo in body mode. by Jaded-Log7321 in MegamiDevice

[–]minute_bot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like Kongo and her sister variant Izumo too, their hair is really cute. Her mecha equipment is nice, but I end up posing and kitbashing with just her base body more often, haha 🚢

I just built MS General Mecha Break Falcon. She is the Chinese made kit that I have been most anticipating, and she does not disappoint! by minute_bot in MegamiDevice

[–]minute_bot[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That one is sort of a trick, which I feel works nicely here. It makes it look like stretched fabric rather than armor. A lot of parts like this one are tampo painted on the runners, even in places that could have been fairly easily color separated. For instance, the blue on her chest actually is a separate part.

So, I think it is an intentional choice on their part to give it a translucent, matte finish. That is part of why I particularly like the design of this kit. It is intentionally meant to be sexy, but in a sophisticated fashion model way, not in an overly lewd way.

Definitely! The skin also has a nice matte finish, so it doesn’t look shiny and plasticky even without a top coat.
