=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.

All sci fi that came after Star Wars was influenced by Star Wars. All the gundam ogs will tell you this themselves that they drew influence from it. They were straight up playing off Vader with char’s helmet. Or look at the cover for the zeta gundam theme. Gundam is just Japan’s answer to Star Wars
>>
>>23047605
>war is grey not white or black
Lmao if that is the case then why does the show has a central heroic figure and a villain? Gundam doesn't have a subjective, morally grey storytelling. It is just a pretentious yapfest, pretending like it is too deep for you or having any form of iconic, genre defining momment. No one knows about Gundam characters or story content beside the fanbase echochamber. The only thing regconizable is the Gundam itself.

Even if you dislike modern Gundam it's not even close, Disney has irreparably damaged the 2nd largest media franchise in the world. Nobody under the age of 40 cares about Star Wars, Gundam is still reaching new heights.

That... makes sense.
>>
>>23047692
TFA did good because it had a normie factor. " Damn new Star Wars movie, let's go watch it ". Majority of later sequel trilogy films and tv shows are still trying to pander to OTfags, especially how they are all visually washed out and have very little Jedi vs Sith elements in them.

they just sucked because they were too contemporary in terms of directoral style and writing.

I mean, if you watch a mecha show and the mecha don't resonate with you and majority of the audiences, it kinda ruins the point of its identity as a mecha show. Yeah people might say alot of copium shit like " i watch it for the story ", but without mecha i doubt they would watch it.

I mean for these eyes in particular you can just use capillary action with mildly overthinned paint to leverage the recessed shape of the eyes.
you wouldn't even need steady hands, just let the paint flow do the work for you.
white -> fluoro eye color
eye get pleasure out of painting eyes
>>
>>23047737
These kits were out in an unfortunate time. During the Disney's acquisition of SW, they erased the entire old expanded universe to make a clean state so they can promote their own new canon into the franchise. A franchise that lost its roots and history like that won't survive because faithful, autistic hardcore fans lost their reason to hoard the latest merchandise. Newfags won't care about these things.

It should be pressed for at least 20+ minutes.

that's not true and even if it was that doesn't change the fact that there are gaps that do not touch so cement isn't going to do anything.

Hello Guys, so I recently found a way to buy gunpla since my country doesn't have them, I basically have to buy them with a 30% increase.

Anyway I ordered the RG God Gundam and Nu Gundam. and I recently read that you need special nippers and since we don' have hobby stores here I have to opt for something from electronic storesx.

Is pic related good enough ?
>>
>>23047883
yeah i've used these in the past they should be okay
i recommend buying ruitool single-bladed nippers from aliexpress if you can, you can get a lot of stuff on ali fairly cheaply almost everywhere
>>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2mJVn5rT9Y
>>
>>23047886
I'll see what I can do, my main problem is that they take months to arrive from any foreign store.
>>
>>23047883
Wire strippers will work, but they operate by pinching instead of cutting. So just keep that in mind cause that can stress plastic.
>>
>>23047891
months? i live as far from china as i possibly could and it only takes a few weeks at most. does your country have a really bad delivery system or something?
>>
>>23047883
use those to cut away from the surface then whittle and shave the remaining nub off with a design knife
>>
>>23047883
Generally, any kind of nippers can separate the part from the runner, the problem is finishing off the nub in such a way that doesn't leave an ugly mark on the part. There are specialized nippers for this, but a hobby knife/razor blade and high grit sandpaper (or a glass file if you want to get fancy) can usually get a good enough result.
>>
>>23047904
>>23047883
note: a specific kind of glass file, not the kind you can get in any drug store
the "right kind" is also cheap but you have to be careful not to mistake them
>>

>>
>>23047894

>>
I take all the parts out of the box, bite them off the runners, force them together by extra force when the nudges get in the way, and when I'm finally done I play with it a bit until I leave it on the ground or put it back in the box

What's with the change in Ikuto's design philosophy here? I mean, if you look at the alternate model of the pic related, then you will feel that there are some eva influence as well(or share the same at least).

Since 2024 was Bandai’a best financial year ever and 2025 might be even better with all these merchandise tie ins with gcucks, does that mean we might see a revival of the mg line and 1/100 in general? I mean there’s really no excuse not to make them again if they’re making money. They can’t use the smarr famiry company excuse any more.

Well he's right and wrong. Gundam falls into the black and white good vs bad dichotomy. Zeon is definitely painted as the bad guys when they start with them dropping the colony on Australia. Then as the series progresses they might have realized or wanted to go in a more "grey" route. The Zabis are unquestionably shown as bad though and then later on they show the Feddy government as being not too great as well.

What’s the optimal way to take your model apart after you’ve put it together? Everytime I do it I feel like I leave stress marks on certain pieces and it scares me that I’ll ruin the integrity of the model and break something later on. Usually I pry it off with a hobby knife, but the edge digging into the plastic scares me.

i do it with a guitar pick
the knife is way too solid, it's gonna damage your stuff
i used to do the "cut the pegs 45°" method which works well to ease disassembly but then I discovered i can manage fine without, you just need a thin piece of plastic with the right hardness

what does it matter when you're painting it anyway? if you're not painting it why are you disassembling it?

because there's nothing wrong with it if you're not retarded and it's easier to see what parts need welding, whether you need to plan to paint parts then weld stuff around it and mask before painting the rest etc. it's called test fitting and it's a standard process in model making

Yeah, that's me. Like are you fucking serious?
>>
>>23049493
Maybe you could get one from a US seller and have it shipped there. They go for like 40 bucks here. Maybe try chinese hobby stores.
>>
>>23049496
It's pretty much the same price either way, only difference is that with US it's already that high before shipping.

Ah well, I've got an HG G-Self coming in anyway, gonna ease myself back into building and painting slowly.

>>23049503
What the fuck. Is there any other place to get it?
>>
>>23049501
Does aliexpress exist there? I've had some pretty good luck shopping there.
>>
>>23049529
You can still order it on the usual ENG retailers like usags and gundamplanet
>>
>>23049532
Nah, even narrowing it down to Gundam 2.0 has either other 2.0 MGs or the RG 2.0. I'll just wait for a reprint desu, my holy grail is the MG G-Armor (Real Type) anyway.

why am i so out of touch with what's popular? this doesn't appeal to me in the slightest as a girpla enjoyer
>>23049708
why are there so many schizos in this thread
>>
>>23049710
Never underestimate how much people like downer-type girls with big tiddies. Those sorts are always popular.

Where can I find a beam shield effect that's clear color?
>>
>>23049725
You can always recast a colored one in clear, colorless resin. Then use clear paint to get the tint you want.
>>
>>23049725
If you get a pink one you can soak it in bleach overnight and it'll turn clear
>>
>>23049731
Does that actually work or are you fucking with me? What about other colors?
>>
>>23049747
I've never tried it with other colors.
>>
Does any one else here kind of wish they'd make more stuff in 1/100? I really kind of like that scale because woah its big. and they usually have nice detail.
>>
>>23049791
Careful round these parts with that "opinion" anon.
>>
>>23049791
It's the objectively superior scale, unfortunately it's apparently not as profitable so it's fallen out of favor.

its a generally bad practice that a lot of people feel insecure about doing which gets them really worked up about it, as you can see by the butthurt replies of my predecessors.
>>
>>23049932
It's what happens when you huff too much paint and have nothing to show for it.

Do you guys wanna talk about mg vidar with me? It’s release date is coming up and I think it looks very cool!

What non-toxic lubricants would you suggest for nippers, that aren't a nightmare to wipe off unlike mineral oil (see pic related), that thing (besides sewing machine oil) to lubricate nippers?
I mean, we are getting our fingers all over the parts while working with them so might as well look for non-toxics.
I mean, you guys DO save your gloves for when you're airbrushing, right?

Building Governor 2.0 right now. Pretty fun. Also this thing is just slightly bigger than my finger, which is insane for a fully articulated kit.
