=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:

Desultor second batch of pre-order open today, the first one went sold out pretty quickly (in a day or so?). Glad that at least this kind of kits are selling well, even if a PBandai and a bit higher on the price.

Kicking myself for missing the nightmare build, been waiting for years for it and then as soon as it came along, naturally, life decided to be nonstop for 3 months. Hoping to enter the next one, if work and family will finally back the fuck off.

maybe they should go full warhammer and make a TRPG system for this shit
with unit stances where you have to manually pose the kit to express that on the game board

I'm considering trying scale modeling techniques like armor texture and flame cuts on a Gunpla kit. Any suggestion for who should be the victim of my experimentation?

Gm's are pretty simple but they are also a basic option.

Just go for a Kit you like, but don't like enough that you would be sad if you ruined it. There's always fun in failing and learning.

Mascot Anon here, Continuing from last thread.
For Horror theme participant, the request is now open
State desired creature and post new picture now shown in group build gallery to make request for mascot design.
I can accept at least the first two request
If requested by the builder, Zogok's mascot is guaranteed, regardless request order.

Request will remain open until the thread announcing next group build theme ends.

Bought my second bootleg kit. Well, I wasn’t really planning to but I needed $5 more to unlock a $15 coupon in aliexpress for some other shit I’m buying. It’s a mystery meat dom prototype kit. Hopefully it’s JMS, Daban or whatever as it comes with the base.
I didn’t like the other bootleg at first but that schwarzette has grown on me. I’ll make up to Bandai by buying a Hi Gundam Ver Ka.

in between. the only kits i've built that are as bad as chink quality are volks, i'd compare koto more to goodsmile: worse tolerances than bandai, more seams than bandai, occasionally some bizarre choices for how the thing is constructed, you know minor shit like that but in general they're a good experience and well designed kits. they also beat bandai in a couple of areas like sharpness of the moulding, and their girl kits in particular are just getting more and more impressive while bandai is still struggling to make faces decent

I honestly couldn't care less about the seams. Koto kits look sharper than Bandai and that's all i need. I just built Blockade Ivy and the tolerance, details and articulation are all excellent.

Why not just use the waterslides?

I dont think you'll like any MD kits then. Most of them have tons of waterslides.

Mecha musume is the most snap unfriendly thing you can buy, anon.

>>22958915
Hmm... Looks like there's overlap between the water slide and stickers. Maybe it'd look decent with just waterslides.

The stickers are probably more reflective though.

Is the magazine plugged in backwards? I think the bullet relief is supposed to be inside the gun
>>
>>22958962
Nah dude I fucking love the soft gummy look of Bandai hgs. They have a unique charm to them that gets lost with the edgy hyper realism of other kits
>>
>>22958968
You're right, but the magazine is very loose and easily falls out, and for some reason plugging it in wrong makes it stick in easier.
>>
>>22958972
It's loose even after paint and top coat?
>>
>>22958972
You should sand that off before painting. Really breaking the immersion here.
>>
>>22958975
I think anon simply painted it with a wash rather than a thick coat because he doesn't want to hurt the articulation and other customization stuff.
>>
>>22958975
Yep, it's odd. You can wiggle the magazine around and just turning it over makes it fall out.
>>22958976
After I finish posing it, I just stick it back in the normal way. I just forgot to that time.
>>
>>22958941
what happened to the arm?
>>
>>22958983
I topcoated that part too soon (maybe three hours or so after airbrushing) and it reacted with the paint. You can also see a bit of it on the gun there.
>>
>>22958985
I think it doesn't look that bad. If you were to put some gunmetal or silver on a tootpick and dip it a bit on that part, it could look like some pretty good battle damage.

Most Megami Device kits released after Buster Doll line (pic rel) feature an updated body called Machineca Block2. They have wider waist, hips, and thighs and shorter neck and are generally more sex. However, I don't like Buster Doll's slutty uniform motif and they put way too many 3mm holes everywhere, making the armor look like shit.

The Puni Mofu loli line was also has new bodies but good luck finding any in stock. They sold like hot cakes.

The old Arsa line is being re-released with updated Machineca Block1.5 body. Ninja and Archer are already out with Nine-Tails, Tamamomae and Aoi are pending. But these new kits don't feature the full armor set so you'll need to buy the old kits and combine them with the new body to get your full armor mecha girl.

The older bodies still look nice, especially if you like thin girls. I'm especially fond of the design of the Bullet Knights line. They all have really cool weapons. The Auv line is also very popular.

Avoid the super early ones because they have derp faces.

I hope this makes your girlpla purchase easier.

Heads up poorbros:

mountain state models recently just put up a bundle that includes the MG sinanju stein NT ver ka and the Narrative gundam ver ka for $115.99, pretty good price considering you save around $57 if you by the bundle rather than each kit separately.

I honestly don't understand the purpose behind taking a design that is deliberately cartoonish and deformed for the purpose of cuteness, and then greebling it to hell and back in an attempt to make it look "real." Like, the two cancel each other out and you may as well just get a HG kit instead.

1. Why do you even have girlpla in the first place?

2. You should have had the social awareness to hide the girlpla prior to inviting a girl over. Most girls find that stuff weird and creepy.

3. A new girlfriend doesn't have any right to demand changes to your lifestyle if you've only been seeing each other for a short while. You don't know if she's going to be long term or not, don't bend over backwards for that shit. If she doesn't like it, she's free to break up with you and find someone else.

Some kinds of paints chemically dig into the plastic, some just kinda make a skin over it that can be sanded, scrapped, melted off.

Not familiar with the specifics here, I just use acrylics.
>>
>>22959548
Nope you can strip the paint any time you want. Usually putting it in isopropyl alcohol for 10 minutes gets it off. I always put it in an ultrasonic cleaner after soaking just to make sure all the specs get off.
>>
>>22959548
Some paints are harder to get out than others. Use thinner. And read the guides in the OP, Funaka's is a good one and the "Deep Dive" section of "The Guide" covers painting too.
>>
>>22959548
even if you get some super hot automotive paint that keys into the plastic extremely hard you can always just sand it if it won't strip easily with chemicals
>>

Because I’m not a fucking snapshitter. I developed a skill and put work into my model kits. It’s something that I’m proud of. Furthermore, it’s a creative endeavor, so I really see it as a form of self expression. It’s turbo cucked to be ashamed of yourself and your work like that.

There are times where I feel bad for the Chinese bootleggers who try to stay faithful to the original spirit of a design like the Solomon GP02. Then I remember that they're the exception to the rule, which is either shitty mold-copied bargain-bin companies that don't even try anything different like Daban, or "add spikes and dragons to it" shit that's so goddamned common that I can't even come up with a specific group to make fun of, or the ones that just completely butcher the original concept to the point where you can't even recognize it anymore, like the "Nightingale" or "Tallgeese" crap that people still lap up for some stupid fucking reason.

plenty of online burger stores carry them too so I guess if you're already ordering some gunpla and paying shipping on that you can slip the matching decals or a pot of paint/topcoat/whatever in free without any extra shipping costs
but ordering them standalone when you already have the kit is ass

my canadian buddy says the prices are all fucked up on aliexpress CA and he can "reroll" them by logging out and back in to get different random values. not sure how or why that worked. he ordered some shit on 11.11 and spent a while doing that until he rolled close to US prices

I wouldn't trust that shit to not break after a few months, and frankly single-purpose appliances like that feel like they would be near-worthless unless you have some sort of hand/wrist injury that causes you pain or muscle/nerve damage if you shake paint bottles. Just buy a bunch of metal BBs and stick one or two into each paint bottle to help with the mixing process when you shake it.

There’s a reason why labs use these things instead of just shaking the bottle. Do note that these are only good for acrylics and shit. For lacquers you don’t want to shake them like that. You use one of those magnetic stirrers instead. They’re less prone to failure, too.

That's why you purchase multiple items each month and consolidate your orders.

You can buy a lot of groceries and not eat them all at once. Same goes for gunpla that retain their value while they wait for their turn on the hobby table.
>>
>>22960202
I wonder if box fort building could actually make some money since prices will probably go up next year. If anything it beats having money sit in the bank losing value due to inflation.
>>
>>22960194
The last few orders I made are exceptions to the norm. I've wanted a 1/100 scale F90 kit for something like twelve years before they actually went and made one, and I only learned about its existence and that of the Mission Packs about three years after that. Buying all the F90 Mission Packs is literally a dream come true for me, and for that I'm more than willing to spend the money.

Of course, it also helps that I do enough work to have the spare income to blow on this shit, as well as the paints and tools to do the kits justice. While I do love my job, the ability to finally go hog wild on this hobby of mine that I've dabbled in since I was ten years old is my short-term motivation to keep going.

Anon, there are 2 types of bootleg: Recast and derivative. Solomon, Sky Defender, Monument, etc are Derivatives, their design resemble existing and copyrighted designs from Gundam, but with new details, different proportion and new gimmicks. These bootlegs have alot of new molds, sometimes an entirely new thing.
On the otherhand, Recast are just direct recreation of existing kits, 1:1 exact same mold. They don't have any new details. Daban is bad at recast, these things from them usually have fitment issues, bad stickers and so on. Derivatives always have better fitment compares to recast.
>>
>>22960443
You see, daban does both recasting AND original models. I know, it's gonna get hard to follow, but they have stuff like Astray red frame which is a direct copy of a kit, and Double X that's completely original, or Astraea that recasts some parts like frame for limbs but also at the very same time has some brand new orignal parts like frame for torso or guns, and guns aren't recasts of metal build if you compare how they look. I know, it's not that simple, so feel free to ask if you got any more questions.

"savings" are meaningless if you buy 3x more kits than you actually end up building though.
although the 1 kit at a time restriction does make it hard to get preorder-only shit

still you can get a lot of cheap kits from surugay and they ship plenty fast.

yes, its called the euro tax

It seems to vary by source. The RG Perfect Strike expansion pack and decals I bought from Samuel Decal didn't have any taxes and only shipping (though the shipping did cost an arm and a leg), whereas a bunch of other stores I regularly buy Gunpla from do charge taxes.

>>

I got the mg tallgeese ii on p-Bandai website for like $60 something dollar total, but apparently I could’ve got it on surugaya for $40. Also I missed the preorder for hg bat shu so I checked later on Surugaya and got it at same price or maybe even a couple dollar less. It makes me wonder if it’s even worth it preordering at this point.
>>
>>22960829
never preorder. don't contribute to the system.
if it's unpopular you can buy secondhand later and if it's uber popular you can buy pbandai bootlegs
>>
>>22960820
rgs are 15+ premium products yet still dont come with waterslides
>>
>>22960757
Depends on the kit and you'll have no way of knowing.
Checking the recent p-bandai purchases I've made, pre-production Lfirth is 45 bucks on suruga (24 bucks), the WfM expansion parts is 58 on Suruga (22 bucks), and MG Nadleeh isn't available (search nadre).
The only one where it would have been comparable to wait for Suruga is the Side FF Nu which is 23 and 66 for the EG/RG (17 and 58), but p-bandai has 10 bucks shipping.
If it's something you want, pre-order it. If it's just an "eh", don't, but don't complain if it ends up being more expensive down the line.

i imagine buildslop has pretty high profit margins because they just reuse old molds so the cost of making them is pretty cheap.

Wait what’s wrong with the hands? I never had a problem with them. I like the fix pose hands better than 3.0 style hands which break so easily

pic + 2 takemikazuchis worth of junk parts, 1 full takemikazuchi kit, and 1 shiranui, all in the mail + resin 3d print for my custom AC
I've only been painting stuff I've already snapped so this is unlikely to be reduced in any amount soon

>what's wrong with the hands?
They look like complete shit.
>>
>>22961062
How many different ways are there to make hands? They’re just hands.
>>
>>22961059
the holding-hands look like shit without anything in them, the kits really need to come with alternate hand options as well for when you aren't trying to pose with accessories.
everything besides EGs does, to be fair, but they rarely have separate no-hole fists specifically

Multiple, and like has been said, they've regressed. Pic related, hands that aren't dogshit from all the way back in 2005.
>>
Kits should have doraemon-style hands
>>
>>22961066
>the holding-hands look like shit without anything in them
they look like shit holding things too because the fake palm covers up whatever it's holding, so unless you hide the angle you will see it's in no way a real hand.

this daban kit has actually ruined gunpla for me, I have 3 other bandai kits to snap rn but I have autism so i cant start them until i finish this daban kit that I dont really feel like working on
>>
>>22961066
Oh yeah you right the holes look like cheap dogshit. They should have closed fists for like the classic robot poses
>>
>>22961073
Which kit?
>>
>>22961068
>posable fingers
>not dogshit
that style of hands is unusable for actually holding anything unless they put a peg in the palm area (or you modify it with magnets or some shit)
the fingers themselves are never strong enough
>>
>>22960963
>>22960991
Depending on the age range of the sample, if younger, it may also lean towards being answered with warhammer in mind. Not many zoomers care about model cars/tanks/planes and the ones that do are at least equally as autistic as the average gunpla drone. BTW snapshitters are bitchless and women will drop their pants on the spot if they find out you can paint a good candy finish

These hands are just so boxxy, even when you let them hold weapons, they look ugly. And do you know what the worse part is? These hands are ABS, after a while, the plastic stretches and the armor part falls off. Dogshit to look at and dogshit at engineering.

Bandaibabies have been living with modern Bandai hands for so long, they instantly assume any hands that don't look like shit to be articulated.

Give me Penelope and Sahelantrophus

I'm gonna show up too, I better see a handsome mofo

Aren't Penelopes still all over the place? It's been a month or two but I always see them at my local stores.

fuck me, theres FREE pizza next week

Bandai hands starting to look extremely offensive to me when Bandai gave them to their AC kits.
>>
>>22961097
Yeah they are I'm just waiting for the christmas sale to go on before grabbing one. Think it only sold out on the first wave and now most people have it now.

Bruh that shit is ugly asf I wouldn’t even get it if it was free
>>
>going through a notepad I made of gunpla youtubers I marked down for potential inspiration

Grim.
>>
Do you guys think the yen will keep going down or do you think it will go back up? I wonder if gunpla prices will get even better because of the exchange rate or if now is the time to buy before it goes up
>>
>>22961131
There are people with full time jobs working 40 hours a week trying to figure out that answer, you're not going to get it from a 4chan thread.
>>
If the yen weakened does that mean us retailers made a buck since the amount they have to pay goes down but us prices stay the same?
>>
>>22960926
hey, I bought from torchlight games before
>>
>>22961066
>everything besides EGs does, to be fair
No. Majority of IBO and GWitch HGs don't have alternate hands. Even for recent Seed kits, only Mighty Strike Freedom and Inf Justice spec 2 has open hands, the rest don't have them.

>>22961000
I'd fill her seamline if you catch my drift.
>>
>>22961144
KEK. Good one
>>
What's the best way to make the seam lines into a panel line? Just scribe it? I fear I'll leave a gap if I do it like that.
>>
>>22961122
Eh I just want it for the sake of having it, they might never reprint it soon and I'll be stuck pondering I should have gotten it. I'll grab another Xi Gundam tho, that thing really grew on me.
>>
>>22961149
Panel lines are pretty much what happen when you construct a machine. Realistically, all machineries have seam lines. You want to turn a seam line into a panel line? Just don't close it, simple as that.
>>
>>22961152
>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NCnSmbPQr7Y

probably the only tip that I could find for what i want to achieve. It looks uncanny to me if I just leave it as it is.
>>
>>22961131
Yen is starting to make a slow recovery. Not massive but it's showing signs of gradual improvement.
>>22961137
If they were selling kits they got while the yen was particularly weak, then yes, but remember that the order forms from Bandai go out to retailers months ahead of time so if your store gets a kit in December, they probably paid prices from two months ago.

no and neither do Shining's, dumbass

Yeah I think it's ass too. I thought it's just cus I'm not big on G in general but really everything about it looks bad.
>>
>>22961193
Let's be real, hands only look like that when you are jerking off.
>>
>>22961196
You don't seem to get the point people are trying to make here. Weapon hands should look like this, not whatever the fuck Bandai make. When you hold something like a hammer or a sword, you hands don't entirely closed.

More like the otherway around. It is difficult to remove weapons off Governor's hands. Bump Up Expander can hold relatively huge guns. You give HG something in similar scale and they fucking give up most of the time, unless the HG has some extra helps and modifications.

Here's Balinoak Sammahn's review for those who are interested.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5koixDGKgkU

I'm such a retard for not buying some retarder, I hope to hand paint with these acrylics before they dry out
>>
>>22961257
aw fuck, looks like I didn't make it on the HLJ preorder raffle.
>>
>>22961258
Retarder is nice. They fix most of the problem with handpainting and prevent clogging, pooling, and so on. The only disadvantage of Retarder is that they are expensive.
>>
>>22958832

Why did they never make a RG GM, even if it was pbandai? They better make one now that the 2.0 is out.
>>
>>22959966
Skill issue? Choice = free shipping. They were less than $2 each for someone who I think is in the States.

I was going to post a screenshot of my purchase history but
>image limit
>>
>>22961258
Why not wet pallette?
>>
>>22960466
I use a .15, .2 and a .3mm if I want a wider line for my hg kit.
>>
>>22961282
>/gpg/ in charge of reading the words on their screen
the ones that fuck you with shipping costs are the original japanese decals made by G-rework, not the flamingsnow/YAN bootlegs.
>>
>>22961257
no thanks, i'll wait for mechaGODkotsu's review
>>
>>22961258
just drop a small amount on the palette and thin it with your wet brush, retarder is for retards
>>22961273
all myth from big paint
>>
>>22961257
Youtube auto translate has come a long way. I am understanding like 60%

$3.54 still seems way too expensive for bootleg.

In this house, we wait for the designated tripcode thread maker to make the threads.
>>
>>22961333
well that's a retarded system because we hit the image limit and we need a new thread now.
>>
>>22961333
What if tripcode friend dies in a tragic accident? will everyone be waiting on him forever?
>>
>>22961327
true but I couldn't find the demi barding decals cheaper
>>
>>22961260
It's not a fucking raffle. Early birds get the worm.
>>
>>22961010
man this guy used to be my favorite artist until I found out how much of a fucking asshole he is. I remember someone asked him about a song he used in an anime he directed and he blocked them for using a translator and not being a native Japanese speaker

From here https://cults3d.com/en/users/CasuallyCrafted3D/3d-models
Someone was posting about them last thread. I'm having a friend print them for me so I'm just waiting on it

>>22961537
ooh, nice. looking forward to see what it is
>>
RG Zaku Ver.2.0 when?
>>
>>22961423
I literally preordered the second it showed up on HLJ day 1
>>
>>22961563
About as likely as a MG Zaku 3.0
>>
>>22962593
Or an RE/100 Zaku III
>>

Need tattooed gunpla mommy gf

i refuse to post in the other thread. its new thread guys thread or nothing

I don't know if you two are still here or not, but I was too busy to get to my computer in time and people were understandably impatient, so I just took the day off, it's fine. Here's the thread after.
