-=READ THE GUIDES=-Welcome to the Gunpla/Plamo General!For those new, please read our guides. We have many resources available to help you in many different aspects of the hobby. They're here for you!For the unclear, "plamo" is short for "plastic model". "Gunpla" is thus short for "Gundam plastic model". Many different kinds of models are built here, ranging from mecha to planes, cars, musume, you name it! If you're new, you're gonna screw up. Don't worry! If you're seasoned, don't make the newbies worry!And don't forget to report shitposting and spam. The mods don't browse /m/ too often, so it's up to YOU to help keep our general clean and civil!>Why won't anyone answer my question?Be more specific, and try to provide clear images if you can.>Why are my pictures sideways?4chan strips EXIF data when images are uploaded, including the orientation tag if it's from your phone. To fix it save out your images separately, or use an app that will rotate and save the images for you.One easy to use app that works well on Android:play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobilephotoresizer-=THE GUIDES=->Gelgoog Guy's gunpla guide:gunpla.buyfags.moe>Funaka's gunpla guides:Building Gunpla: files.catbox.moe/fj5azc.pdfScratchbuilding: files.catbox.moe/2d9ppa.pdf>Falldog's gunpla guide:otakurevolution.com/content/laymans-gunpla-guide>A guide to other types of plamo:mediafire.com/file/1vf1aw7v91pz5pa>Saintism's gunpla photography guide:saint-ism.com/category/gunpla/photography-=OTHER RESOURCES=->Gundam lineart (There's a lot!):pastebin.com/4KBEnVaN>Dalong's gunpla reviews and documentation:dalong.net>Schizophonic's gunpla/plamo reviews:schizophonic9-2.com>KenBill Blog's gunpla/plamo reviews:blog.kenbill.com>Deals on gunpla/plamo:gunpla.deals>Past Groupbuilds:https://flickr.com/photos/197891373@N06>Monthly Restock List (October):old.reddit.com/r/gunpla/1wh3bnxPrior thread: >>24043451
== STOLEN GROUPBUILD ==Build a Mecha or vehicle built by one faction, but change its aesthetics and style to its rival faction! Examples include but are not limited to>Canon examples of mechs being stolen and used by another group (ie: Casval's Gundam, Feddie Zakus, Ashura Mazinger, etc)>Designs intended for one faction that were repurposed into a design for another faction (ie: Gerbera Tetra)>What-if scenarios (ie: A Titans color Zeta Gundam)>Stylistic interpretation (ie: What would a EFF version of the Z'gok look like?)When it comes to your build, really make it clear that your mecha is being used by the other side!START: 8/16/26END: 11/15/26
Post what you're working on!
I'm working on my body

>>24046606Normally I would whine about the orange peel but I think it works here. It looks chitinous.
>>24046608I appreciate it but yea I rushed the top coat to protect the inks between layers. Forgot to reset the psi on my airbrush. But what the hell, I'm not trying to win a contest. I am happy with the shading though.
>>24046464I'm about an hour away from Gundam Base Chicago so I occasionally stop by there, and there's at least two other closer local stores I've been hitting up as well.
What is your deepest "Bandai should make this gunpla" desire, general release or P-Bandai? Hard mode: It has to be something you could reasonably expect Bandai to actually do since they do want to make money off of it.
>>24046627I want a 1/100 sumo that isn't ancient,
>>24046627>should make this gunpla desireI'm sure that many of the existing designs would sell no matter where they put them.
>>24046627MG Gerbera Tetra <- personal desire MG Geara Zulu <- infinite mold milkings on pbandai (big money)
>>24046627HGUC Batalla, but with simplified engineering like the HGAC Leo so they are dirt cheap and I can armybuild
>>24046627Personal unrealistic desire: MG Delta Gundam, based on the MG Delta Plus.Realistic desire: HG ZZ Gundam Revive, possibly Enhanced and Full Armor options and eventually HG FAZZ. Maybe RG, but not holding out hope there.Fully expect them to eventually do it anyways so I won't bother wishing: RG Gundam X, with P-Bandai X Divider; HGAC Aries, Taurus and Virgo.
