THE GUIDE: http://gunpla.buyfags.moe/

=READ THE GUIDE=

For those new to gunpla/plamo or even just new to this thread; please read the guide. Please read it before asking questions, as there is a chance it has already been answered there.

For the unclear, "plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model". If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here!
If you're new, you're gonna fuck up. Don't worry! If you're experienced, don't make the new people worry!

And don't forget to report shitposting and spam.

>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Try being specific, especially about your materials and process. Post images whenever possible; even if the kit/part looks bad, you are more likely to get help posting images.

>Why are my pictures sideways?
4chan strips EXIF data from images when they're uploaded to the site from your phone, including the orientation display tag. To fix this, save your images separately, or use an app that will rotate and save the images for you.
One commonly used app that works well on Android:

Net profit is the profit after you chop off every expenses, retard. Bandai doesn't "make" 100 billion, that's what's left after calculating every business expenses and will go into their savings.

Reading dalong's reviews on old kits and seeing how they evolved is fun. Anyone got a video or tuber to recommand about the history of gunpla kits?

So wait why did people want this? This seems so unnecessary. Like there’s no reason why we need things to be more expensive except someone decided it.

Also I can’t imagine a lot of this other stuff like laying off most of the federal workforce and deporting millions of low wage workers will be good for the economy. I feel like all this stuff will lower consumer spending and be bad for the small businesses in the hobby.

You had a fucking history class in school. The US started BECAUSE no one wanted to pay retarded tariff's. Why did you think voting for the moron who wanted to throw tariff's on everything would make things cheaper?

You don't have to answer though, because we know the answer: You're fucking retarded. You are the sort of person we would have sterilized if the US had decided to do that to low IQ American's during the 60's and 70's like they were discussing to do. And you know what, we should have. You retards ruin everything.

Depending on your setup, you could apply some mild heat underneath, helps reduce viscosity and encourage air bubbles to rise upward. Assuming you have either, a pressure pot or vacuum chamber could also work.

>no one wanted to pay retarded tariffs
The Boston Tea party started because the king not only raised taxes/prices of his tea but also banned consumption of any other teas. Also the colonists were paying taxes while not having any representation in England, hence the NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION stuff. In addition there was eventually a "massacre" of colonists + an attempt to confiscate guns.

Any way that's enough off topic history for /gpg/ but I don't appreciate people gaslighting.
>>
>>22950795
>>22950755
Nah the us started as a revolution of the bourgeoisie. They didn’t want anything fundamentally different than what England had, they just wanted the colonial elites to be in power rather than England’s. That’s why originally only white property owning males could vote and anti democratic measures were put in place like the electoral college and senate.

But enough of the history lesson. Gunpla.

Gimme some suggestions before I start this project, chat.

It would be really easy to just paint these in standard colors, and I could do them in tandem rather than one after another, which would streamline the process. However, apparently there was a PS2 game where two of them had custom colors (purple and pink), if I do it like that it would add a bit of identity and make them look less samey. Thing is, I never played the PS2 game (or owned a PS2) and I don't like doing paint jobs or buying merchandise for media that I haven't personally experienced (plus even if it's a licensed Bandai product it's also basically fanwank as far as I'm concerned). There's also the problem that a bunch of the joint pieces are red, so having to paint those risks the paint scratching during the posing process.

Should I paint these in custom colors, or is there a more subtle way to make them more distinct beyond the numbering stickers?
>>
>>22950837
I suggest you trash that seedslop and pick up some uc kits like a grown up
>>
>>22950837
Do one up in Jean Carrey's colors. Maybe paint another like an M1A.
>>
It’s gonna suck when prices go up because my hobby is just buying shit and not building it. Maybe I’ll actually have to work through my backlog.
>>
How big are your tables /gpg/? Im planning to expand my workstation into a bench and want some ideas.
>>
should I buy all the GM's I need now for $25 each before the price hike or is it likely that they'll go on sale before then?
>>
>>22950877
I have three workstations:

1. Standard desk where I put all my tools on top and do my regular assemblage, tool work and planning.
2. Spray booth stand that's just the spray booth and a place to put the airbrush and compressor, separated from the desk and placed next to the window where the hose can reach it
3. Small workstation in a separate part of my house that's more convenient to reach since it's closer to a water source and my computer, where I mostly just do cutting and sanding.
>>
>>22950898
There will be big Black Friday sales in a couple days. Might even be some on newtype right now. Yes get them all during the Black Friday sales before the price hikes. You will pay more if you wait.
>>
>>22950672
>10 threads later anons keep falling for the exact same tariff bait
god bless you anon
>>
>>22950710
don't worry, chinkgod bootleg stores will just lie to US customs about the price so you get less tax.
only japcels will pay the tax.
>>
>>22950837
ps2 is emulatable nowadays. you must get the true ending before beginning to snap.
>>
>>22950834
It's not Black Friday or Cyber Monday yet, anon. Newtype jumped the gun to get more sales obviously. And since most places don't do above like, 15% site wide, going 10% site wide is enough to hook most people, especially since they tend to have the biggest stocks of things while other shops seem to run out fast.
>>
>>22950931
If I want to buy stuff on sale should I just go ahead and buy from newtype or do you think I should hold out and wait to see if there’s something better later on another site?
>>
>>22950597
It's perfect
>>
>>22950947
some burger stores are starting their black friday sales a fucking week early for ??? reasons but the actual black friday isn't until this upcoming friday in 5 days. wait til then AT LEAST, and probably until Monday dec 2nd to see all sales and shit
>>
>>22950947
If what you're looking for isn't something liable to sell out (ie: older, not so in demand kits), yeah, might as well wait a few days. If it's something new you know people want, or a just reprinted kit that you also know is in high demand, get it while you can.
>>
>>22950981
Because stores know people bite at deals as most places aren't offering huge sales like they used to. You don't see crazy ass BF deals anymore. Most model kit places offer like, 10-20% tops on stuff they know is going to sell. Only stuff cluttering their shelves is going to go any deeper.
>>
>>22950981
Black friday commemorates the beginning of the holiday season, so stores that do it early are trying to relieve pressure from everyone going nuts that friday.
>>
>>22950981
Because "sales" aren't good for consumers anymore and real discounts are minimal, everyone knows it so might as well start them early.

thoughts on the RG RX-178-2? I heard taht early RG kits had some issues but I love the titans color scheme
>>
>>22951132
It's fine. The pre-build MS frame on the early RGs are prone to weakening over time but if you build it and leave it in one pose, it'll be fine. It's not that much more than the HG and it looks much better.
>>
>>22951132
RG kits in general are pain in the ass.
>>
>>22951140
why
i generally really enjoyed building my MG Tallgeese 2 but the prioce point of RGs seems really appealing
>>
>>22951144
They aren't. Some of the early RGs can be a hassle and one or two of them, like the Sinanju, aren't worth bothing with at all due to the huge design flaws. Generally speaking since 2017 with the release of the RG Unicorn (RG 25), RGs have been amazing.
>>
>>22951132
The rg mk ii is generally considered an exception in the early rgs. It’s pretty solid. But yeah in general early rgs are trash up to the rg unicorn
>>
>>22951144
MG kits are actually good. RG is meh, most of them are floppy and difficult to pose.

Next P-Bandai might not even be a usual /m/ entry, but maybe Samurai Troopers with cross-compatibility with 30MF?

Why does Bandai know i'm gonna order 3?

Kitbash: kit made of at least 3 different models

Are bandaibabbies really that starved for good designs by their nepotistic boomer "mechanical designers" that gyobu copying hexa gear has them creaming their pants like it's the second coming of christ?

ordered a RG Gundam Astray Red Frame and a
RG Gundam Epyon, lads. what am I in for?

Has anybody here done the r/gunpla secret santa thing? What was your experience?

>>22951261
>>22951267
Titans colors really make anything look good.
>>
>>22951276
technically, it is, but it's a low-effort kitbash, since as you said, he only added the banshee weapons and antenna on it.
>>
>>22951299
Epyon is fantastic, Astray is very whatever.
>>
>>22951301
I don't think it's supposed to be titans, it's just gaianotes prism blue black.

Is gaianotes t-07 moderate thinner the same as Mr leveling thinner?
>>
How's the RG Shin Matsunaga's Zaku II? It has the early RG problems too like the other RG Zaku IIs?
>>
>>22951329
Yep. It’s pretty much the same thing as the others except different color. Maybe a couple parts different.
>>
>>22951333
Well fuck, thanks Anon.
>>
>>22951339
rule of thumb is that if the RG is based on an earlier kit, or uses parts from it, expect it to be inherently shit.
>>
>>22951341
There's any other RG I should avoid? I heard the RG GaoGaiGar was pretty good.
>>
>>22951345
Avoid most rgs that came out before the rg unicorn. The gaogaigar came out after it so it’s probably fine
>>
>>22951261
>>22951267

>>
>>22951277
i heard escaflowne is pretty gay, or at least popular among women (same thing)
should i watch that next? how many plamo does it have
>>
>>22951356
Escaflowne is a shojo with mechas, and an Isekai'd Isaac Newton as the villain.
>>
Is gaia notes t-07 moderate thinner the same as Mr leveling thinner?
>>
>>22951347
that's like over half of the RGs....
>>
>>22951347
>>22951345
the only pre-assembled joint in that kit are the hands. but since RGGGG is a transforming suit, expect it to be a bit flimsy in some areas.
>>
>>22951394
Yeah most of them are dogshit. Luckily most of them also have hgs that are actually good and mog the fuck out of their rg equivalent.
>>
Sick of all the newfags asking “is x kit good?” Let me break it down for you nice and simple

If it’s mg and came out before 2007 (mg zaku ii 2.0), it’s trash

If it’s rg and came out before 2017 (rg unicorn), it’s complete junk

WHERE IS IT NIGGABUKIYA?

I NEEEEEED IT
>>
>>22951345
I own it, the mane parts of the StealthGao is a little bit tricky to handle since the tabs don't fit snugly, and the helmet (also StealthGao's) same problem. Otherwise BOKURA NO YUUSHA OH.

Can i loosen up stiff joints by moving them around?

no, you can only do it by shoving them in your ass
trust me, sounds crazy but works

They said after they finish reprinting all of the old kits which means.

10 gen 1-3 AC model kit reissues
12 Gen 1-3 weapon unit packs
2 Gen 4 Weapon unit pack
1 Gen IV addon pack
1 Gen V weapon packs
2 Gen 1-3 head unit packs
and 2 Gen 1-3 arm unit packs

I am most likely forgetting to subtract a kit or two.
maybe add an extra gen 1-3 AC kit if they want to bring out Clear plastic nine ball seraph for whatever reason.

So I'm kind of impressed so far. The arms and legs require almost zero color correction to make them look like the anime, and what little there is are in accessible areas. It's not like the Bael, which had several pieces that had to be painted in three colors. Lack of inner frame is something I'm happy to live with, though I'm also kind of concerned with how I should be approaching the joints (I'm thinking of just sanding the surfaces slightly to increase tolerances, dull coating them all and calling it a day).

I already know and expect the thrusters and shield to be a bit bullshit, but I'm kind of looking forward to the challenge. As before I'm probably not going to attempt seam line removal, the only obvious ones so far are on the knees anyway (and would require some serious masking after cementing them up).

new usagundamstore sale just dropped. 20% off all orders

I was kinda thinking about getting the hguc gerbera tetra. i already have a fuckhuge backlog so i probably wouldn't build it for a while. but considering all the shit that's about to go down, it seems like i should pick it up while it's still $20 before it becomes $40. what do you think?
>>
>>22951660
Barely any better/worse than their Veteran's Day sale, and on the whole not as good as Newtype's which has some kits at 25-35% off.

the website is pretty bad though and if you click through to that "everything on sale" page there's no way to filter by categories like model kits vs tools vs figures

What was /gpg/‘s reaction when the mg turn x’s release was first announced? I bet it must have been crazy to see it actually get a good kit, considering how Bandai neglects shows like turn a.

>no special sale on any hexa gear stuff except that one hanger and hook base background kit that has always been on sale for a while now
siiiiiiigh time to stalk jap sites even more now
>>
>>22951734
the reactions are just your usual "yay" kinda like how the MGEX SF was recieved. it only got its current notoriety because it never had a re-release ever since its first run. it's kinda like how Shia Qant became a "unicorn" kit before the recent reissue

in what way?
>>
>>22951752
Not him but the HG Sinanju is better in every way compared to the RG
>>
>>22951758
ok bros, explain to me like I'm retarded (cuz I am), it's my understanding that RGs have more parts and details than HGs at the same scale. if I enjoy the building aspect of gunpla and not so much the painting and customizing etc so they look bad ass out of the box, are HGs still worth it?
