[Gunpla] The ammo belt I’m currently making for my Gunpla looks really cheap, so I’d like to replace it with other parts, but I wonder if there’s anything good.

Otaku Review Image

Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)21:52+

The image appeared when I looked it up, but I felt that the details were a bit too overwhelming.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)21:53

There are a lot of different kits for gatling guns for character plastic models, so feel free to choose your favorite.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)21:55Yeahx1

How about the Gatling Blade from Hexa Gear?

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)21:57Yeahx1

How is this?

This kind of size.
3: Japan Otaku Reviews

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:06

>>3It’s pretty good, but I would prefer a more understated design.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:07

>>12If you shave it off, it’s free.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)21:59

Do you use the tank treads of the Gun Tank too?

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:00

Isn’t a 30mm Gatling unit okay?

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:01Yeahx1

>>5Isn’t that just the epitome of something cheap? It’s easy to play with, though.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:02Yeahx10

>>6Because they say the details are too noisy in the thread image…

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:06

>>5To be honest, if this had a little more thickness, it would be almost perfect.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:08

>>13You just need to cut a thinner plastic sheet to match the belt width and stick it on both sides!

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:08

>>17The belt part is rubber, so it’s impossible.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:01

By the way, which one are you using now?

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:01

It would be helpful to know which kit you want to detail up, as it would provide a reference for size and the length you desire.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:02

When you’re troubled with modifications, read Plamo Kyoshiro.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:07Yeahx10

Of course a belt will get noisy, so just buy the original image quietly!

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:09Yeahx1

How about tank tracks?

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:34

>>19I like Tamiya’s French tanks because of their fine details.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:09

If you like something like a Gatling unit.
Why not bring the Zekuain’s ammunition belt?

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:13

>>20I’m actually making that Zequain.
This flimsy piece of rubber is a bit much.
>>20I'm actually making that Zequain.This flimsy piece of rubber is a bit much.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:30Yeahx7

>>29I don’t like this, and the Gundam No. 5 is ideal, but I dislike the Gatling Blade… isn’t that a bit contradictory?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:10

Honestly, my ideal is this Gundam Unit 5, but I can’t get it right now…
Honestly, my ideal is this Gundam Unit 5, but I can't get it right now...

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:10

I realize that there aren’t actually that many exact ammunition belts that match the same idea.
The current tank kits have completely lost the rubber tracks, which is frustrating…

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:11

In terms of whether you can get it or not, it’s best to compromise with the Gatling Blade.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:11

There are a ridiculous number of types of evergreen and plastic pipes, so just get one with the right width and buy a belt or cable to thread through it.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:12

>>24Don’t casually suggest projects that take a month to complete.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:11Yeahx3

Why not just make it yourself?

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:12

MSG is great, isn’t it…?

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:12

Are you possibly building Heavy Arms?

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:13Yeahx17

I don’t understand the level of obsession of the anonymous poster!

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:16

I can’t guarantee if the size will fit perfectly, but here it is.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:20

If you’re particular about it, in the end, it will definitely become plastic sheet craft…

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:20

If you focus on the details, there’s hardly anything better than a self-made piece, right?
The LA one is a bit thin for Zeku.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:21

I’ll make one frame and do my best with UV resin and Oyumaru.
This!

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:21

It seems like the fastest way is to go around the second-hand shops searching for Gundam Unit 5.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:21

If it’s not for a strict competition, then I think it’s fine to rummage through electrical cables.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:22

Maybe what is needed is something like a plain, functioning version of the Gatling shield belt from the Gufukasu.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:27

>>37Well, isn’t that good enough…?

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:29

>>46The number of items needed is a length that I don’t want to think about.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:22

I can only think of cutting up square pipes.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:23

I can’t buy it anymore, but this is nice…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:26

>>39There is stock in size S!

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:23Yeahx2

If you’re concerned about the details
Just strip it all away!
It’s easier than making it yourself.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:24

It seems there are also some unusual tactics like using zipper-type earphones.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:25Yeahx1

Still, I advocate for the 30MM ammunition belt.

Everyone!
Soft resin is concerning, isn’t it!

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:26

It can also work as an energy tube.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:28

A plain one like a Gatling shield belt.
It’s about something movable.
I don’t think there is a plain movable one.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:31

>>47Ah, so that’s immovable…
I didn’t know because I’ve never done it.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:28

What are you making in the first place?

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:30

>>48It’s called Zekuain!

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:30

It seems like bringing in either Gundam Unit 5 or Heavy Arms would be the best option.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:31

The Hexagear Gatling Belt is good, isn’t it?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:31Yeahx1

Is the MG Heavy Arms big?

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:32Yeahx1

It’s tough because it’s not just a matter of making one piece.
It’s definitely something I want to try first if I have a copying or printing environment.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:32

>>56I want to leave stuff like this to machines…

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:32Yeahx3

Well, it’s quite rare for ready-made products to match ideals perfectly.
If that’s not the case, then there’s nothing to do but move my hands.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:33Yeahx1

Isn’t it better to just use this after trimming down the details?

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:37Yeahx1

I picked it up from the internet, but it turns out there are people making it too.

CUTTING MAT approximately 22.5×15cm

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:40

>>61I think it’s amazing that you made this, but isn’t it kinda awkward to see the metal wire through the gaps…?

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:42

>>67It’s not that noticeable in the finished product.
>>67It's not that noticeable in the finished product.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)23:09

>>70It’s still in the midst of production, or rather it’s just a mock-up; as for the finished product, it will likely be painted after spraying primer on the brass wire.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:38

To those who say annoying things
Nameless is strict yet kind.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:38

From here, it’s going to be refined more, but it looks more like a spine than a bandolier.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:39

I remember the Bakuu’s neck part.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:39

It’s a strange story that everyone wants a simple and cool ammunition belt, yet it doesn’t exist.
Well, I guess the sizes I want are just too varied…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:40

Would a simple and cool ammo belt in SML size sell?

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:40Yeahx1

Making the same thing endlessly… it’s tough!

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:42Yeahx4

>>68Once you get used to it, it’s surprisingly fun… I wanted to say that, but…
It’s a bit tough…

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:41

The gaps between the parts in the thread image are so large that it doesn’t look like a bullet belt.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:42Yeahx2

Cutting a rectangular pipe and passing it through the ribbon cable seems to be the quickest way.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:43

The 30MM is flexible precisely because it is made of rubber, but because it is rubber, I fear its deterioration.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:43

The neck part of Bakuu is nice, isn’t it?

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:46

Can we somehow string together something around MSG?
Shall we…?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:47

The fact that it’s connected with cables like beads from the beginning seems weird.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:48

>>76But visually, that’s my favorite…

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:49Yeahx2

With Zek, since the cartridge belt is like this, the ideal would be to create interlocking uneven pieces, replicate them, and connect them with lead wires… or something like that.
If you don’t simplify it to just cutting and pasting like the examples above, the work will never be finished.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:50

Let’s buy a 3D printer!

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:51

I was curious about the design of the real ammunition belt, but it doesn’t really have that bumpy chain feel.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:55Yeahx1

>>80What is connected is only the ammunition inside; the surface is merely a cover.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:51

The energy tube from fazz might be nice too.
I can’t buy it, but…
The energy tube from fazz might be nice too.I can't buy it, but...

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:53

FAZZ is being traded at exorbitant prices for both old and new MGs, so it’s impossible…

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:55

Isn’t it quickest to just buy a Type 5 or Heavy Arms?
Heavy Arms is being sold at around the regular price.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:58Yeahx1

In 1/144 scale, it looks a bit bulky, but the MG Heavy Arms might be just right.
The design of the piece is quite close to the setting.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)22:58Yeahx2

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)23:00

>>86This is nice…

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)23:04

>>86It has a perfectly tailored fit…

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)23:07

While I was checking the belt of the bullets, it turns out that it’s more mechanically correct for the belt to come out vertically like in the thread picture rather than from the side of the drum…
Everyone is really making their own stuff, huh?

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)23:08Yeahx3

>>89This is how mine is.
It’s a story that ends with…

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)23:07

The belt of the Gatling gun from the Hexagear Pump Up Expander is long and good.
When combined with HG Gunpla, the size ratio is roughly like this.

I think zipper headphones are the best alternative to the super hard material of HGUC Zekuain.
It might be a problem whether it’s being sold at Daiso recently.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)23:09Yeahx1

The mechanism of the giant robot doesn’t have to be the same as in reality…
To convince oneself.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/05(Thu)23:12

Since it’s about how to eject the bullets from the magazine part, I don’t think there’s necessarily a definitive right way to do it!
