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:

==MELEE GROUPBUILD==

Build/paint a robot with a loadout focused on melee combat! Anything from shields to swords to lances to axes to bare fists is fair game. There's no room for ranged weaponry here, however, so anything resembling a rifle, rocket launcher, cannon, pistol, or any other ranged weapon is a no-go (Small ranged weapons that are built into the kit itself like head vulcans are ok, however).

More clarification here:
>If the body part has a built-in ranged weapon (head/chest vulcans, claw beams, etc), then that's fine. If it's a separate part like the Alex's arm vulcans it's best to leave those off.
>Melee weapons with in-universe ranged capabilities (Like the Kimaris's lance or the Gyan's shield) are fair game too.
>Any scale, any brand, and any type of kit is fair game here. That means anything from Gundams to girlpla to miniatures are all free to use.

Send your entries to gunplaplamo@gmail.com with at least 5 photos of your finished build along with any WIP photos and a description of your entry.

START: 12/8/24

How do warhammer fans justify buying this shit? goddamn, I thought about buying a space marine mini one time, saw it was like 60 bucks for ONE little shitty unpainted figure, like what the fuck?

Modeling is much more vulnerable to nail polish usage than snapshit. Alot of boomers use color nail polish for joke builds but they are too old to troon out at that point.

Man, the hands on this kit fucking blow. They're the old style trigger finger split hands. Those dinky little pegs can't properly hold the GN Bazooka or GN Launcher because they're just too girthy for them. Bandai abandoned this style of hands for good reason, what the fuck was Daban thinking? It's a solid kit otherwise.

Had to use some third party hands to hold the GN Bazooka for this shot. They're from my MG Sinanju Stein, but they were meant for 20m MS designs so they look a tad too big for the Astraea at 18m. Better hunt for new hands.

because plastic is transparent with paint particles suspended inside meanwhile actual paint is transparent with paint particles suspended in the thinner or something like that and it makes a huge difference actually but you wouldnt know it because you dont paint

Camille gets the shit slapped out of him by a financial backer to the AEUG who he doesn't know, and who doesn't introduce himself, and it's played like he's the good guy for smacking the fuck out of him.

If you can find the files for gunpla you can use a really small nozzle on FDM 3D printer or just a regular resin printer. In fact a lot of third party parts are printed from a resin printer. I think pic related is.

I get the feeling Bandai will use this line to do a lot of obscure MS that aren't cost effective to make a full HG out of, since game rules will add a value incentive to mechs you otherwise feel no connection for.

That or they'll blind box the hell out of everything and my Heroclix/Monsterpocalypse nightmares return.

Tolerances on FDM would be less about the nozzle width and more about corner bulges due to deceleration. My brother has printed some nice posable action figures using his Bambu that I wouldn't be able to do on my Mega 3 because the software/firmware is such an immense improvement.

Do the three XFS woundies have any differences beside color?
>>
>>23030333
Parts become small enough that you cannot physically print them without a smaller nozzle. I tried to print some random anime figure I found one time. The slicer doesn't know what to do with it because the intricacies are too much. Scale it up and sure you can get something that works but then it's way too big.
>>
>>23030348
Parts that small are better off done with a resin printer and ABS-like resin than with an FDM.

Are the XFS woundworts worth picking up compared to the Bandai kits? Prices on the official kits are wild for HGs.
>>
>>23030359
but you need the paint to be liquid in order to wet the brush in there and then wipe off the exess until only a tiny bit of semi-dry portion of it remains, then you "dry-brush" it.
>>
>>23030374
yes i know that now
i was mistakenly assuming "dry-brush" refers to loading up the brush with dry pigment somehow
i hadn't started actually painting until like two months ago okay

if you cemented and there's still an indent you did it wrong. why this general has such a problem with seam welding i'll never understand. but yes you can use superglue to fill any indent you left due to your skill issue. use an activator to make it cure in like 5 seconds. unscrew the spray cap and drop a drip or two onto it with the stem. you waste a lot if you spray it. i normally use surfacer 500 (applied unthinned with a toothpick) but ca is great for when you don't have time or don't want to wait for a blob of lacquer to cure
>>23026702

question
isn't surfacer already a primer, just with additions to make it also fill surface defects?

i figured out it was better to cut further away from the part and trim off the excess with a hobby knife (don't have anything smoother than 300 grit right now so i can't sand it down without leaving the plastic all fucked up looking)

on one hand it looks way better

on the other hand i have several new cuts on my fingers
at least they're only skin-deep

Technically no they’re too separate things but everyone just uses surfacer as primer and it doesn’t really make a difference.

Anyone have experience with Jumpwind leveling thinner? I did a few quick searches and didn't tons about it. I'm curious if it's comparable to the Mr. Hobby stuff. I know it's all just chemicals, more or less, but I wanna see if anyone here knows about it.
>>
>>23030629
Barbatos Rex used it. It’s fine. Like you said it’s the same slop as all the other leveling thinners. Just generic lacquer thinner with some retarder to make it retard proof.

And now paint won't properly adhere inside of the new panel lines that you've scribed, or in the general area near those panel lines because you probably scraped away a bunch of surrounding primer as well. Good job, idiot.

Yeah this is true. Mr. Color paints have DRM and they all turn shit-brown if you try and use other thinners with them.

>>23031124
That's what Full Mechanics and RE/100 are, yes. 1/100 scale Gunpla that has more properly color-molded parts than 1/144 HG and generally good availability, but lacking the inner frame or high detail of MG. And still costs the same (or more) compared to MG.

>>
>>23031143
I'm fine with the kit lacking skeleton, but damn, without the cockpit, these things are pale in comparison to actual MG. Bandai could have atleast include cockpit as a detail without innerframe, it is not that difficult.
>>
>>23031146
Aerial has a really fat thigh and feet, it is quite ideal for an innerframe design. Afterall, it is an extremely compromised design and screams " i'm a modelkit ".
The real troublesome MG would be Darilbalde, it is very top heavy.

I have a noob question. What is the proper airbrushing technique for applying matte top coat? Do you layer up some light coats or do you blast a thick wet coat and have it dry to be matte?
>>
>>23031183
Thick coat is never a good idea.
>>
>>23031194
Why come?
>>
>>23031183
You must coat the kit with gloss coat first, then matte later. The technique for coating that involves decals is gloss - decal - matte finish. For the airbrush, you must not give the kit a wet thick coat because just like regular paint, top coat can be pooled and clogged.
>>
>>23031198
Just like those Warhammer memes said. Thin your paint.
>>
>>23031197
While the coat being transparent, you can still notice the pooling, loss of details and so on if you coated it too much.

another bootleg F90 MG, out now so we should have access to it within a week
it goes for 48 RMB so comically dirt cheap even for a bootleg MG. Appears to be made by gaogao so expect moderately shite quality. However this is the second bootleg F90 already so there might be more down the line and they'll start throwing in more stuff and color variants as with GM Spartan.
>>
>>23031508
You seem to be unable to notice the pattern, huh? There are some mecha designs created solely to be converted into modelkit, toys and so on, there is no fantastic and ridiculous element to them due to concern of their functionality as a product. Protag gundam designs have been heavily compromised since the conception of RX78-2, this is not a buzzword but a well known fact. Aerial is an even bigger offender because it looks like a fucking kids toy with built in LED and having a smooth and round appearance for children safety. Even for a 15+ kit like FM, it looks the same as its HG counterpart.
>>
>>23031549
I don't know why they didn't lead with the colour varients first. It's not hard to get a hold of a legit F90 for a reasonable price.
>>
>>23031550
It doesn't have built in LEDs though. And compromised by what? By plamo? You don't like plamo then? Why the everloving fuck are you in the plamo thread?

>>23031504
With full MG innerframe, Darilbalde would be a disaster in the making because the torso is just so fat along with its large backpack and giant shoulder shields with of contents inside them, yet the legs are gonna be inevitably skinnier compares to the top. You can argue that the basic Darilbalde would do just fine, but what about the retrofit form? MG Daril's innerframe must be either a masterpiece or a bottom of the barrel garbage like RG Akatsuki with no inbeetwen.

HG TR6 Psychoblade Custom if you like the woundwort, and an HG TR1 Hazel Custom or MG Hazel Owsla if you like more traditional gundam designs. Getting both HGs is also an option since they are designed to be compatible for kitbashes.
If you want to buy an expansion for one of the kits I recommend getting an HG Hrududu ii for either.

Plamo should be a sloppy immitation of the subject, not the other way around. Even in an interview, the designer shown his disdain toward the compromises he had to make. One day Bandai is gonna give every Gundam canon safety flags on their fins and you fags will still find a way to defend that.

The RX-78-2 was altered and made a combiner for the sake of toy designs, and it can easily be argued that all main character suits are compromised.

backback could be offloaded by the carpace, which might look shitty but it would be one solution for frame to not be carrying it directly, shields can be hollow or flatter than normally.

Thanks. Yeah, I'll probably try pastels (stand-in for the Tamiya weathering set) for the RX-78-02. Got no liquidity ATM, but my next haul will include some other shitty aliexpress tools.
>>
>>23031693
oh cool so it's actually fine, i'll probably get one then
you know what's sad?

even the kinda shitty gunpla kits are still better than most historical scale model kits. like what the fuck.

>how the hell do they expect to have enough stock on release

>isn't it dishonest to keep preorders available at this point
it is but they keep doing it for bandai stuff. they put you straight into a backorder queue without telling you instead of closing preorders
meanwhile koto's arcanadea ermeda went up today and is already order stopped
>>
>>23031734
HLJ doesn't do order stop on gunpla, they just make everyone who doesn't make the first print enter the backorder queue automatically.
>>
>>23031740
>meanwhile koto's arcanadea ermeda went up today and is already order stopped
The problem with Bandai is that you won't know how many kits you're getting until they ship. Multiple stores have talked about this. Koto likely gave HLJ a specific allocation.
>>
>>23031745
Why doesn't Koto just make more stuff? It's all made by chinks right? How hard is it to just make them wage in the factory a little longer so people can get stuff to coom to?

In my experience, HL's stock tends to be random outside of the usual suspects like HG Barbatos, MG RX-78-2 3.0 and Breaker stuff. Of the three that I frequent regularly, only one has ever stocked RG Zeta, only one other has ever had a RG Exia, and so on. My line of work takes me all around my city so I get to regularly check the stock of those three, which gives me a slight advantage.

If your city/town has more than one HL, it may be worth visiting all of them to check.

>>23031885
This one is in Arizona, they had two (the other one was tucked under my arm as I took this picture). I also happened to pop in on the day after they got restocked, which is yet another advantage in my favor. You could try talking to a manager and asking what day their restock truck gets in, and dropping in either at the end of the day or at the start of the next, just so you get a leg up over other HL frequenters.

>>23031955
I've got more than enough disposable income and I just refuse to pay crazy aftermarket prices. Polyball is on my list but I'm not paying ¥11/12k when it retailed for ¥3,240. Same with the MG V2 Buster Ver.ka, AoZ kits and the full metal panic kits. There's a point where the price becomes far too unreasonable and it's the principle regardless of if I can afford it or not.
>>
>>23031961
Build a time machine and fix that
>>
>>23031965
That's not how it works. You get an order form which shows you the projected print schedule for the next few months, usually one half of the year. None of the items on the list are set in stone. If a certain kit doesn't get enough order interest, they'll either move it to another month and consolidate the orders or they'll take it off the list completely. If a kit gets enough interest, you'll see it get reprinted multiple times during the schedule. Once you've filled the form in with what you want, and the amount, you wait until Bandai starts to print them. It's only until the moment where they start to ship out orders that you'll find out how of what you actually want will arrive. No one is randomly getting shit they didn't order.

They must be insanely cheap to make. Some of them are cool though, I got the FM mailes kenbu for under half the retail price recently.
>>
>>23032061
Yep pretty much. Well I don’t even know if they printed a fuckload of them, it might’ve just been a normal amount but just nobody bought anything so they have a ton of stock.
>>
>>23032079
>>23032065
well the Brady Hound kit was actually fairly interesting and different from typical gundam HGs and the Amaim Ghost looks cool as fuck so I might buy that next

the designs definitely do feel like they were conceived with gunpla production in mind
>>
>>23032082
I'd recommend the FM mailes kenbu/kenbu Zan. The Zan looks better but the regular kenbu comes with a better weapon loadout. The HG Nyuren is great too.

6001 OV cartridge is good enough for primer / top coat / cement, right?

Don’t be a pussy. You don’t need a mask. Even shitholes like commiefornia don’t make you wear them anymore
>>
>>23032483
you don't need a mask for most paints if you have good ventilation*

there are some that will still poison the shit out of you
like that one that can poison you through many filters before you even smell it

you should be using MG for MG kits, HG for HG kits, and FORM for kotobukiya

>>23032464
Ignore the troll replies. OV/P100 is what you want for spraying lacquers. For spraying acrylics you mainly just need something to stop the particles from entering your lungs, there aren't fumes to worry about. Combine the mask with a good spray booth.

Has anybody built the PG Strike kits? Are they any good? Place I typically shop at has got the Rouge and Skygrasper set in as well as the Perfect Strike.

Was kind of eyeing the Rouge since its got the Skygrasper included and just grabbing the Striker Pack set down the line but I've also heard the Perfect has some changes that make it hold up better.

Aile Strike Rouge is just a recolor and combined package of the 2004-5 PG Strike and PG Aile Skygrasper, with different stickers and waterslides.

To my knowledge, PG Perfect Strike doesn't have the Grand Slam sword from Gundam Evolve nor the PG Skygrasper, and has made cosmetic changes to the armor pieces to make them look more detailed. Fundamentally it's the same kit, it's supposed to hold up since the original PG was well designed but the internal structure is the same between all the kits.

Your question should be: Do you want the Skygrasper and/or Grand Slam sword and then pray that P-Bandai eventually sells the expansion parts (which, from a bit of searching, has never seen the light of day in the US)? If not, just get the retail PG Perfect Strike.

Neat!

MG RX-78-2 3.0 is a general shelf warmer, but mainly because Bandai prints so goddamned many of it.

holy shit they sell the digimon kits?

More like there are so many RX78-2 kits, including the recolors.

Man I wish that the local HL was that based. Getting a Kshatriya at 40% off would be great.

Presumably they have fixed size boxes and combining those two kits uses a bigger box that isn't an optimal shipment size with just two.

Got most of it primed up, few touch ups and maybe another layer on the red. For painting the exposed grey bits in the legs and shoulders I was thinking it might be easier to get a base grey on those and then stick the lower legs glued together- is that right or am I just making more work for myself trying to avoid a little masking?
>>23031313
I like the look of these, will look up some more simple recolors like these and pick one

Koto advertises stuff all the time. I remember how they shilled a gaogaigar fig on their website and it is not even their own product.

in this case Koto is acting as a "publisher" so they can distribute their kits on the japanese market.

>>23031959
I am currently in a place that forbid me from doing spray painting, and possibly hand painting directly from paint inside the glass container as well, if the odor was too strong. That said, I am currently considering doing dry painting using paints from the Gundam Marker with brush, but I am not sure if it would be practical enough for me, so I will either try it out with something else first or prioritize the stuff I need to paint on the entry.
>>
>>23032567
Heard you can rebuild the original armor panels of the original Strike and Aile Striker because Perfect Grade never omits parts except whole plates. And the additional Striker Packs do not have the gaudy chrome panel add-ons within themselves, so keeping your Strike clean of chrome parts is fair game.
>>
>>23032735
no need for paint even. just use some brown enamel or oil wash, blend it a little and topcoat. ideally use shitty varnish to achieve the orange peel.
