-=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 experienced, 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.

-=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: 12/8/24END: 3/31/25

I airbrushed too hard and now whenever I try to pose or put the damn thing back together paint cracks off my goddamn model. Goddamn it.
>>23057083id just clump schizophonic, dalong and kenbill blog into one part, kenbill blog usually gets a image review out before schizophonic
>>23057077The most ridiculous thing about the Daioja was when Good Smile put an unpainted one into the El Dora V's height-promo image along with God Gravion that showed how awful it was compared to those.
should I buy the duel gundam with assault shroud or the jegan?
>>23057101I'll consider it. The OP at present has 70 characters to spare, so I can still add stuff.
>>23057105the mg? the jegan is honestly too basic, i havent built the duel but removable armor is cooler
>>23057105Jegan
>>23057106it would be less characters if you just did Image revies>schizo>dalong>kenbillAnd dont forget a best modeller of /gpg/ section (im at the top)
>>23057105If you talk about MG, Gundam kits are always more delicate and highly detailed compare to grunts.
>>23057118Yeah, but Yzak is a little cuck. Better to own some shit ass grunt suit than the Duel Gundam.
>>23057121His nigger boyfriend fixed him.
Does anyone here scratch build or kitbash weapons? Id like to see some examples, I'm working on whats supposed to be an 80 or 90mm cannon for a 1/48 scale kit.
>>23057105the MG Duel Gundam is kinda actually shit. the full armor is very fiddly
>>23057144Why would you ever hide the perfect Gundam behind the shit ass assault shroud?
>>23057132I once tried to make a spear out of putty and runners. It went as poorly as you would expect so I don't have any images of it. Never try to make shit without proper materials kids, or at least enough skill to make leftover garbage into something that isn't.
>>23057089Don't worry, I am licensed to do this. Even if it's going to look like a shit later. Opinions are welcome to change some of it.
>>23057159Because the armor is cool and has more guns, even if it's not as cool as some other full armors. Actually, that gives me an idea. I kind of want to get one and paint it like the fa rx-78 now.
>>23057160Sounds like you had the perfect materials. I actually want to try doing this too. I have Aves 2 part putty, which hardens and sand well enough to sharpen
>>23057187Definitely not. Would have gone much better with some plaplate and glue. The runner still works fine for the pole but trying to sculpt a blade out of a tube of putty went really fucking bad.
>>23057190>TubeAs I see, was it Tamiya putty? This is something I made as a test using steel wire and Aves apoxie, It may be for a girlpla custom. I have seen the putty over pla plate used to make swords and lances.
>>23057200Yeah, it was some tamiya putty of some sort. It was years ago so I'm not sure the exact kind. Whatever it was, it was definitely not ideal.
>>23057159holy sexo
>>23057100>poselol you're not supposed to do anything other than this pose
>>23057223uoohhh
>>23057161are you drawing your panel lines with fucking pencils
>>23057225I wanna make a diorama.
>>23057240He's clearly mapping shit out for scribing
>>23057256Too bad. You have to oversaturate your room with 50 1/144 scaled gunpla doing the same exact pose.
>>23057225i'm impressed at how the Gundam still managed to look stiff with that pose!
Hildolfr reprint onegai.
>>23057083Links used to be clickable and no longer are due to your formatting change.
>>23057299Works on my machine.
The 1/144 The-o doesnt come with a crotch hole for a stand. What kind of stand do I need to buy for it?
>>23057357a drill
>>23057357Action base 1
>>23057357Buy a 1/144 zeta to impale it with.
>>23057357We don't use stands here, boy.
>>23057377I'm bothered by Black Tristar Zaku and Garma Zaku being on the OG shelf and not side material shelf
>>23057377shelves of great taste
>>23057377too many zeon suits
>>23057384There is a gelgoog cannon there too.
>>23057386Gundam and feddie suits are OVERRATED
>>23057396zeon shit all looks gaytarded
>>23057396>>23057398Crossbone Vanguard kits are the righteous choice!
>>23057388I thought it appeared in the movie version, but I guess I misremembered.Now looking at it again, he got Quel but not GM Custom alongside 0083 mechs. And no GM Sniper for 0080. What a mess of a shelf...
the bootleg... mmmghghh I desire it~
I'm already doing the thing where you cut the tops of boxes at the corners to flatten and stack them and use the bottoms for misc. parts and polycap runners
>>23057413Bandai real quiet since chinaman showed up...Looks like Toshiro wont do shit!
Alright, I got the Real Touch markers. How do I use them?
>>23057446throw them in the trash and buy real paint
What am I in for, buildwise? Anyone else bought the lighting kit for it?
>>23057448I already have real paint I want to marker up a bare model
Now that we're going to get D Gundam soon, what others really obscure mobile suits that you want Bandai to make?
>>23057457i will fuck this robot
>>23057457MK-IV in any grade I don't even care at this point. I already have the SD
>>23057458Same
>>23057457We don't really get the D Gundam until the chinkgods make a kinoleg of it.
>>23057299Can change that.
What was the Slave Wraith Ground Gundam again?
>>23057457If they made a full hg Steel Seven set, I would buy multiple so I can replicate pages of the manga.Also the Midas.
>>23057457Dowas KaiOver.OnTitania
>>23057474it was Slave Wraith?
>>23057457Kestrel Gundam
>>23057457MG Nobell
>>23057461>optional preggo bellyLaughed so hard I nearly choked..
>>23057497Primal urge fulfillment.
>>23057497can't believe the envy got even worse god fucking damn it
>>23057457Anything from Solomon Express. At least just one kit. ZZ Gundam Ver. SE.
>>23057457An improved The O master grade with fully articulate sub manipulators and hands.
>>23057457That's just a skinny Zeta Gundam.
>>23057240Just mapping because you can erase pencil.
>>23057161God speed. I Hope it turns out well, scribing takes forever. Try and find a nice flat, but thin guide to help certain lines. I use a playing card ASSA2 Assatoo. Kek, sounds like a pokemon
>>23057680Scribing tape is the best.
>>23057420Its a inevitably if you stay in the hobby. How many and which kits have you built?
>>23057680>AssatooOnly ass tattoos on google.
Is there a good source for Zoids these days? I've got a nostalgia itch, and the main retailers only have a few. Admittedly, the Deathatinger and Berserk Fury are tempting, but more options would be nice.
>>23057746Kek
>>23057161>Scribe perfectly one set of armor pieces.>Get to the next ones, immediately fuck it up.Every damn time, at least now I do it less.
Just got the MG 00 Raiser as my third Gunpla. What am i in for?
>>23057680>>23057683>>23057767Tried searching for curved one, PLG2-C3 tape, but nowhere to be found, so I do use this instead. Pretty alright.
>>23057773Get yourself one of these if you don't have one already
>>23057773A shit load of plastic
>>23057776is there any difference between the action base 4 and 5? They look to be about the same with only different amount of parts.
>>23057776Thats why i'm asking...I'm still learning what to get. Doesn't it already have a stand?
>>23057782Most kits don't come with stands. Some do but there's no rhyme or reason to it.
>>23057782No, general rule of thumb is that kits don't have bases. There are exceptions that prove the rule but in general they don't.
>>230577814 is bigger and better for MG1 and 5 are better for HG
Why don't more hobby stores stock evergreen styrene sheets? shit's the best
>>23057785>>23057788I built an Astray Frame second revision as my second and he had a stand
>>23057782bases are like open hands on HGs...every blue boom a kit comes with one
>>23057792That's a rare exception. And if I'm not mistaken it was a smaller stand meant to prop up the weapon rather than the kit itself, right?
>>23057795It can hold him in V mode
>>23057798Also whats the idea of the leds? I see something about it having these
>>23057803You get 1 one LED that can go in several places on the suit, you need more if you want to fill every slot. A number of the 1/100 scale 00 kits have them. Rarely they show up in other kits but it's mostly the 00 ones.
>>2305769130mm Portanova Yellow, 30mm Volpanova Tank, 2004 HG GM Command, 30mm Heavy Weapons Pack 2 (beltfed MG, ammo+thruster pack, big shield), like two other smaller 30mm expansion kits for thrusters and some bitsBlaze Phantom Zaku Warrior, Gunner Zaku Warrior (haven't done the gun or backpack yet), AMAIM Brady Houndalso have some bootlegs and a MG Gunner Zaku Warrior, I plan to kitbash the two HGs
>>23057792That's because it's meant to be a stand for the big sword instead of the whole kit (though it can be used for it regardless), the Astray Red Frame Kai has the same base.>>23057803The 00 Raiser can be fitted with a total of 5 LED units: 4 for the shoulders, one for the head. The kit comes with 1 LED unit for free (no batteries, requires 2 LR41 per LED unit).General consensus is that it's fine if you don't know anything but if you're really serious about making it glow you're gonna want to look into third-party solutions.

>>23057818uhh what the fuck is that thumbnail? painted nails is one thing but those are the long fake ones women and fags wear
>>23057818how do those chinks make kits as good as that for so cheap?
>>23057818why does chinese shit always invade my hobbies
>>23057822Chang doesn't care if his employeed inhale some ABS fumes in the process of dialing in the injection-moulding
>>23057824Whats the issue anon.
>>23057818Yeah, great. More tranny shit.
>>23057822Garbage quality plastic and slave labor.
>>23057822In the same vid he says the incise grace or whatever the name is getting pretty loose, so there's that
>>23057818Is anyone even watches his building videos? It's even more retarded that most of his new "reviews" is 90% build and 10% actual review. I used to watch his vids from time to time in a "love to hate" kind of way but now they suck so much I stopped caring at all
>>23057832His presentation is the best in the scene and it's not even close.
>>23057818What the fuck is up with the weird gay dudes in the hobby. That dude's nails and Zeonic being a fag with a topless selfie pfp are off putting to say the least. At least the nipponese painters on Twitter are kind of normal sans maybe Naoki's weird hairdo.
>>23057831Its suffering from Early Beyond Exquisite syndrome
>>23057822They don't have to pay for a multiverse and NFTs, for a giant statue and then another giant statue to replace it with, for a land for it to stand on and other various shitty failed experiments.
>>23057840kek
>>23057837just because the turd is covered in sprinkles it doesn't stop smelling
>>23057837I have much more prefered his videos from around 2016. his modern videos are too overproduced
>>23057822Because they don't have a scalper culture around them yet?
>>23057292>didn't grab the 2023 reprint off surugaya for less than 10k yen
>>23057832I dont see the point with those type of vids, makes me want to build myself. Same with TCG pack openings, Id rather crack my own. Same with twitch streams, makes me want to play vidya. I dont get it, maybe because im a old fag. Can someone explain the appeal? Its just like that pewdipie southpark episode
>>23057855I can understand reviews, but I'm in the same boat. I don't really watch videos unless it's an actually informative review, instructional, or has actual technique I can glean. But I don't watch lets plays/video game streams either so I'm just weird.
>>23057855Gaikotsu's audience is 70% tourists who don't actually build model kits but consider themselves "into gunpla" because they poorly snapped together a HG once like 4 years ago and haven't touched or even dusted it off since. Of this 70%, a solid 1/3 are trooners.The 20% is people who want to look at the kit before buying and gaikotsu came up in search results10% are people who used to watch him years ago and still come back despite knowing that he's a lost cause
>>23057855Sometimes I see kits that have interesting gimmicks but I don't really like the design so I just search up the kit's build videos.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/On2iiDo6s-kthe GODtoki pose
>>23057873~mmmhhmmmm
>>23057873mmhm?mmmmhmm
I'm gonna test my realtouch markers on him>>23057873to me this is the default pose i would use for all my bionicles when i was 12it's a good pose
>>23057869so basically "let's plays" but for gunpla? this is kind of sad.
>>23057869So like Persona fans. People who don't actively engage in the hobby but consider themselves to be a part of it in a parasocial sense.
>>23057839autogynephilia a pretty common symptom of autism, and 90% of the hobby base is mildly to severely autistic
>>23057159Partial armor’s the way to go, get the nice chest piece without too much bulk
>>23057886remember that real touch do not work on smooth surfaces you a matte finish (either by topcoat or sanding (melamine sponges give a near perfect matte))
>>23057895ah, an expert huh
>>23057896looks retarded
>>23057899they worked as described when i tested them on some spare bits from my 7-year-old snapshitted astray bluebut i have melamine sponge so i have no reason not to give jim a once-over with it
>>23057899His robot looks like something that was just dipped in a dirty toilet.
>>23057900I actually tried to get diagnosed for government money but I failed the testthe observation is merely from anecdotal evidence from the specimens at the local build nights at hobbytown
>>23057818Why do the big gunpla youtubers paint their nails but never their kits?
>>23057905the robot he smeared with soot wash and rust drybrush looks filthy? gee whiz no shiti was also there when he was posting this first
I don't understand people who panel line everything on the runner
>>23057909Some people don't paint the kits
>>23057908>looks filthyYeah, it looks like a filthy toy abused by a child. It doesn't look like a dirty robot model kit.
>>23057911Are you throwing another of your fits?
>>23057901Just like me then, thanks anon
>>23057913What the fuck are you on about? I'm just saying it's not all that weird to panel line right away since it's not gonna be covered with paint after snapping shit off the runner anyway. It's not like painting on the runner where you'd have to fix shit after.
>>23057916Yeah I was right.
>>23057896>>23057159Duel is actually an okay albeit very generic design.
>>23057909it prevents enamel thinner from splitting microcracks from parts that get stressed during assembly
Has anyone here actually tried the real-touch and melamine foam tech?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVt5tFnrtZA
>>23057089Finished the rx-78-3 1.0 build. I am pretty happy with it.
>>23057985i love it bro good shit
23057918You're baiting again? Dont forget some people actually do paint here unlike you and your redit pics. If you have a goal to run everyone off /m/ then keep doing what you are doing. The gunpla general on /toy/ has their shit more together than here. If you want only fully custom painted kitbashed kits then start your own redit thread and stop trolling people here that give a fuck about gunpla.
>>23057990Thanks. Here's the bare plastic. I thought about leaving this one bare just to have a display of a raw 1.0 but I'll wait until I find a 78-2 for that.
>>23057998i have the urge to show this to jayz2cents
>>23058001It really does just look like primer out of the box. I think that's why the 2.0 is so much brighter.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ6sIpRekgUfresh milkers kino has arrived
>>23058001>jayz2centskino alert!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRBnhurqArE&t=658s
>>23058005giwiwh
>>23058005I really like both of her opinions on display.
>>23057299works on my machine as wellexcept the flickr link which firefox thinks is an email address
>>23058006>my model kit is much better look how small the pieces are and how much it cost!>breaks the rx78 which according to him is significantly easier to build and assemblek
>>23057993>he gunpla general on /toy/ has their shit more together than here
>>23057822because they live in a country that actually still has big, well-developed manufacturing facilities instead of shipping everything overseas. much cheaper to iterate and develop
>>23057449It is a decent kit, but honestly doesn't feel like a model, just an action figure with the same amount of accessories as the HG version. It has better range of movement compares to HG but that's it. Honestly, it should have had Mirasoul included and more expensive.
>>23058006Why do they always make the gundam dab?
>>23058018The dude should stick to PCs and not plamo. It's funny seeing these retards who are unaware of Bandai having the #1 engineering in the world when it comes to plamo.
>>23058024>Bandai having the #1 engineering in the world when it comes to plamo.
>>23058008so true bestie
>>23058025Doesn't really mean anything. Most model kit manufacturers are still stuck 40 years ago and have shit that you need to fix before you can even put the kit together, and that's without the factor of any actual articulation beyond basic peg-swivels for turrets (at best). "Good" historical scale models still commonly have flashing issues.
>>23058020I don’t understand what your issue with this picture is
>>23058025That's how bad the rest of the industry is
>>23057985damn looks very nice, and I usually hate the justagundam
>>23058025>disingenuous chinamen lubed the joints for the video just to sell shitty metal parts
>>23058028>Most model kit manufacturers are still stuck 40 years ago and have shit that you need to fix before you can even put the kit togetherYou can literally snapshit every random new releases from other companies without having to fix anything. Even the boomer kits from Tamiya nowadays feel easy to glue, you don't have to fix anything beforehand.
>all this coping about any other plamo manufacturer being on the same level as bandai or even kotobukiyalmao
>>23058035The vid's name is literally the source. It is from a Jap.
>>23058035MGK had the same issue after tinkering with his for a few minutes.
>>23058035>disingenuous japman reused the joints for the kit just to sell shitty adapter parts
>>23058046Even Bandai is aware of this and sold some shitty clear part to keep the legs in place. P Bandai btw.
Pbandai recolor for Gyan Strom.https://x.com/pinvise_kurara/status/1881773939749474417
>HLJ can't even get non-Gundam kits in stock even if you pre-order on day 1Crikey. Has anyone had any luck getting Bandai kits overseas via Hobbysearch's Japanese site?
Im gonna have to learn to paint boomer tanks
>>23058064I buy most of unimported kits from Shopee. There are a handful of Japanese retailer that sells Hexagear and Artpla kits there, but the price is very ridiculous.
>>23058067Well, you must learn how to paint a kit without diassembling it.
What color action bases do you guys use? I'm on the fence between basic grey and clear. It feels like the more I try to hide the base, the more It'll stand out.
>>23058073Clear
>>23058073Clear all the way. I don't want the fact that my masculine super robot is being fucked in the ass to be too obvious .
>>23058073I use black ones.
>>23058067>gesla gankwhat?
>>23058005I'm not even going to bullshit around the bush, what the hell is that on her chest? A weird bra??
>>23058088sex bra.
>>23058088i don't know but I want one
>>23057911I don't paint gunpla so lining some stuff while on the runners is helpful, otherwise I save it until the end. I like doing it, I would probably enjoy painting if I had space for it.
>>23058073gray because thats the color of the filament i use. otherwise whatever is the cheapest
>>23058005>30 minutes applying top coatIs she counting the time to dry on there or something?
>>23058086it's russian language you wouldnt understand what it means
Which kit these wings come from?
>>23058096You must apply gloss coat first as a base because gloss provides a smooth surface for decal application, a second coat to seal the decal permenanently then a finish coat, matte, semi gloss or gloss again depends on your taste. The whole process can take around several hours if decals are involved and probably 30min - 1 hour for 2 to 3 standard coats.
>>23057457>Now that we're going to get D Gundam soonSauce? Sounds way too good to be true
>>23058086its a freaky looking T = tesla tank
>>23058117>it's fucking realHow did I not see or hear this until now?
>>23058117>SauceGoogle it
>>23057747i assume these are what you meant by the main retailers but in case not hlj, amiami, and hobbysearch have some in stock. koto doesn't reprint often though so you might have to try aliexpress or trawl ebay/mandarake/surugaya for scalped stuff. there's a few up for preorder too
>>23058005even ignoring the presentation that's a great review, eloquently structured and technically detailed unironically better than zak and mgk, plus tits
I'm building the HG Zaku right now. How am I supposed to clean up or sand the nubs on the rubber skirt pieces? Or paint them?
>>23058142don't use the rubber pieces they're ass
>>23058142Use sharp tools and cut carefully.
>>23058142if you can't sand rubber, trim/shave it with a fresh sharp hobby knife blade insteadfor paint try multiprimer
The rumors of XFS's death have been greatly exaggerated. Expect bootleg Efreet Schneid within days, and other Efreets not long after.
Also bootleg RE/100 Gerbera in the works, same company as the RE/100 Efreet and HG Sinanju.
>friend gifted me hi nu>paid 45 for funnel effect set in surugya(friend went to japan in same week i ordered and he found it for 25 after tax)>fun costed 27I cant believe this free hi nu costed me 72 dollars to complete.
>>23058151XFS has just been rebranded to XYS (SingYuanShe)
>>23058151do throwing knives disqualify the efreet edgegod kino ver. from the melee groupbuild?
>>23058111The thruster below is from Aile Strike Gundam, the wing parts are from LBX Odin MK2. He probably used its shoulders and shield, too.
>>23058156Thanks, will search for this kit, I'm interested in these wings.
>>23058091>if I had space for it.you dostop with this mememultiple people here live in a single room at their parents and manage to airbrush. jap apartments are the size of those other guys rooms and they airbrush
>>23058159>>23058091Yup. Foldable spraybooth is the size of an MG box, air compressor is the size of an HG box. If you have space for a "backlog" you have space to paint.
>>23058151Too bad the chinese cannot boot all the robots we're missing.
Almost finished repainting for the 1st time with acrylic. Do i need to gloss coat the kit first before panel lining?
>>23058152they (doudou) are also making bootleg HG ruijinmaru in case anyone cares about that
>>23058162You probably should if the kit is ABS.
>>23058164Bandai should turn SD shit into regular size more often.
>>23058165Yes it is ABS because chink kit, so gloss coat 1st and carefully use tamiya or other enamel based liner?
Mr. Zhang, it's me, the guy that orders from you on Ali. Can you please bootleg Dragonar 3 once it's out? Xiexie!
>>23058168they do, it's just rarely available for the plebeians
Can fitting issues on bootlegs be fixed easily with plastic cement?
>>23058174most of the time a little super glue or other thickening method does the job, at worst drilling to widen the pegs.
>>23058170Tamiya is pretty ABS friendly, just keep the contact to the plastic minimal. Don't apply too many ink or redo too many times.
:)
>>23058176I've just built my aliexpress sakura freedom and both of the wing railguns just keep coming loose with big cracks between the two halves, it's driving me mad
>>23058005oooh yeah shake that panel liner
>>23058005>not asianI don't give a fuck
>>23058005goddamnit even gpg isn't safe from envy triggers at this pointseriously though tf is that bra
>Gaza C Sleeves type only comes in a bundle set>GAZ-R is a paired kitFuck this bundle bullshit Bandai, wankers
>>23058186>seriously though tf is that brayou guys never watched porn?
https://x.com/amenomi1366/status/1881543732102889653so much work and time put into making something look way worse. sad...
>>23058005man, I wonder how big are her verniers to need those to big ass fuel tanks
>>23058190i don't think porn lists the used clothing, sadlyI'd ask for examples but blue board
I'm going to try to topcoat for the first time and the only thing that I can find in my 3rd world country at a decent price is tamiya ts-80 flat. Does anyone know if it's good enough by itself or anything else that I should be aware of?
>>23058195It's actually pretty rad.
>>23058190kinda fucked up but your comment is way hotter than most porn, anon
>>23058195some people actually like sleeves designs so it's not entirely accurate to call them way worse
>>23058201embrace the floor polish
>>23058206floor polish has been cancelled for decades STOP RECOMMENDING IT
>>23058029NTA, but I find the lack of panel lining disturbing. That, and the "V" on the crotch is FUCKED.
>>23058208demi trainers are still being soldyou can get one if youre that jelaous to get one
>>23058203tf did he mean by that
>>23058215is there any reason to get demi trainer over demi barding? besides the coloration
>>23058218I can only guess but picrel
>>23058229They're different mecha from the same company. The actual combat version of the trainer is the demi garrison.
>>23058213The V is fucked. Why would you panel line a candy color or blend/preshade though? Can you not see the detail without any panel lining? They still have their shit together more than here.
>>23058229they only share the runner A and part of runner C. otherwise barding has one runner less than the original and two new runners specifically for it. So they're different and you can't build the trainer out of the barding.
>>23058158>>23058156Btw, is there any similar wings from other models?
wait gaikotsu said the iron sckie is 10 bucks but it's def not
>>23058265The lowest I've seen is 20
Darilbalde and Oltlinde bootlegs are out and nunya niggas told me
>>23058281yea we fucking did it was mentioned like 3 times in the past few threads
>>23058285missed thatanyone got them? how do they hold up?
I accidentally cut my finger and it wont stop bleeding now
>>23058180Cement and glue work, clear varnish too. I've been using tamiya clear gloss acrylic to thicken tons of parts on my chink oberon
>>23058293Use ca glue or plastic cement to mend the cut and stop the bleeding
>>23058293Super glue was invented originally as a liquid stitch. Put some pressure on the wound and once the bleeding slows put a drop of super glue on it.
>>23058293clean and bandaid
>>23058293A sacrifice to Plamor.
i never cut myself, i'm literally too good for that
>>23058297>>23058298i've done this in a pinch but hobby grade super glue uses a toxic component that isn't good to get in wounds, medical grade non toxic super glue is what you should use for this really
I haven't cut myself since my Good Charlotte phase in middle school
>>23058293were you cutting like a child
>>23058318what? that's like saying you cut yourself to blink-182 they barely were angsty
>>23058325I wasn't cutting, I was holding the knife in a weird way and moved my other hand. Didn't even feel it like usual. I just changed the blade, my finger got cut through like butter
I cut myself everyday to feel like I'm still alive. And then I snap together a HG and put it on my shelf without painting.
I paint over plastic that's already colored the same color and cut myself to get a good red.
>>23058343I've never seen someone so triggered over getting called a snapshitter lol
>>23058234>Why would you panel line a candy color or blend/preshade...To create visual interest by giving the impression that a given part is comprised of multiple smaller parts? Like the yellow bits on the front of the shoulders. As is, they are clearly one piece; a little black would sell the illusion of a separate pipe inside of a square outlet. Even if you don't think it's needed on the candy colors (it is) there's no excuse to not panel line white. Failing to do so on the skirt or arms makes the whole thing feel cheap like a dollar store toy.
realtouch and melaminestill shit lightinglooks much less smeared in goo than before but still scuffed
>>23058333Well, you can type, so you didn't cut yourself that badly. Rub some dirt on it, and get back to building.
>>23058348ugh turned again
>>23058355Does that seem like a good photo to you?
>>23058352I followed anon's advice and put a band aid on it, my body always takes forever to stop a wound from bleeding. And now my finger feels like those cat in videos where people put shoes on their feet. There's some blood inside of a part, I will leave it there
>>23058348>>23058355jesus christ your photos are so bad I thought you were a troll at first but now I think you are just really fucking terrible at taking pictures
>>23058357either it ends up being too washed out or being too in darkness
Since I got a ball twin pack I wanted to make one into the F type. What's the best way to make the face plate it has? Plasticard?
>>23058293Why are you gay
>>23058363probably, yeah.
>>23058359>There's some blood inside of a part, I will leave it thereGoddamn right you will. Proud of you, anon.
>>23058258Infinite Justice 2 has similar looking wings.
>>23058360>>23058357not doneshield needs touchups (esp the vents)and need to redo drybrush weathering
>21000 yen for an RG kitI know RG Sazabi is huge, but this still feels like an overkill for just a meme clear version.
>>23058371>not donethat doesn't excuse your garbage photography
Why is RG 99% protagonist suits? I like RGs but the selection is kinda boring.
>>23058376RG is basically a normie pandering in its final form.
>>23058376What suit do you want to see in RG
>>23058376I'm sure you can figure it out yourself, anon.
>>23058370Why is there no Injustice and Slavery Gundam?
>>23058383That's just psychogundam
https://x.com/_Blue_Stella/status/1881691349336064015
>>23058233Why is this such a good design but the HG does absolutely nothing for me. It really feels like something was off about it
>>23058363Just cut and send the runner labels
>>23058376Z'Gok killed all the good will Bandai had for unconventional RGs
>>23058394I really like the zgok

>>23058416I love Z'Gok but the RG is an awful rendition of it.
>>23058412This one would actually be cool, but no one wants to buy Zeta kits except boomers.
>>23058421I've never had an issue with mine and it looks good.
>>23058422>Gunpla>BoomerLMAO.
>>23058079But then it would be sitting on a clear glass dildo
>>23058005>>23058208
>>23058005How come she's not pulling more views while having those guns on display?
>>23058430she doesn't clickbait them in thumbnails
>>23058432Based. They're a reward for people who actually care about gunpla enough to click the video.
>>23058430They’re not in the thumbnails
>>23058433Yep. Bless this girl, until her handler finds out the obvious mistake.
>>23058381Wing zero tv
>>23058005it's not FUCKING fair...
>>23058407call me jaded but i'm pretty sure she's just the "face" of the operationthe vocal fry kind of gets to me after a while too
>>23058452Someone else does all the boring management stuff while she just poses for the camera and shakes her assets twice a video....jelly.
>>23058452>>23058457If there was a handler he surely would've put main attraction on thumbnails
>>23058445do you have to make 8 posts saying the same thing
im zak's handler
>>23058422I have mostly Zeta kits. The sad part is they're all HG, though. Then again, I don't even know how many MG kits there are, but more importantly how many still exist in the wild.
Giving this MG the GODtoki treatment AKA chicken pox
>>23058475If you're american, hobby lobby gets the master grade zeta ver ka and 2.0 pretty regularly and you can get them for pretty cheap. Most of the main suits get reprinted regularly.
>>23058381Qubeley (this is the main one)Heavyarms Master GundamA shit ton of grunt suits
>>23058478I'm not a huge fan of the Zeta itself, but I do want to get the Ver Ka at some point because I've only heard good things. >Most of the main suits get reprinted regularly.That's kinda the issue I guess. The weird shit like Messala, Gaplant, or everyone's favorite cheese wheel the Asshimar would be sick at 1/100. I'll keep an eye out for the others, though. Thanks

>>23058493Avril Lavigna ghina?
>>23058480>Master GundamThis one got a pretty real possibility after Shining and HG Bolt
>>23058500A real grade rising gundam based on the shining gundam would be awesome. All they'd need to do is change the forearms and shoulders and some colors.
>>23058503Actually, I may get another master grade shining gundam to make a custom rising gundam.
>>23058381Like many others have said- Master Gundam
>>23058381Master Gundam, but also Alex, Ez8, Calibarn and GQuX
Before EVEN buying your first kit you should:-get tamiya panel line accent color (so you can play with the funny juice)-get a cutting mat that covers the entire surface of your dining table (you absolutely CAN'T snap pieces on a bare surface)(get one with the most geometry things on it )-get a comprehensive airbrushing setup (normal brushes don't work on gunpla)-paint your nails-get a bra with straps that go all around the boob
>>23058516fuck i'm still bralesshow do i unsnap a gunpla
>>23058038Most of the "new" releases of military and car models are the same kit from 40 years ago with maybe an extra detail up runner or something. And that's if you are lucky. You don't understand just how good we have it with mecha and girlpla. Bandai aside, pretty much every maker is light years ahead of them.
>>23058516Don't listen to this guy. I did all this and it made mustard gas.

>>23058516The amount of troons getting into plamo is concerning.
>>23058518Brother in christ, i have built those glue kits. And no, they are not the nightmarish purgatory like the boomers like to hype them up.
>>23058525It's this but with trannies and gunpla slowly being replaced by girlpla.
>>23058518any popular subject has multiple modern toolings from different companies
>>23058525Blame z and zz for all those trans...formations
>>23058529Replacing trannies with girlpla sounds like an improvement honestly.
>>23058525I see why they call it transformers
>>23058532Trannies are the root cause of girlpla.
>>23058537It's fake just like them
transphobia is not a good look
>>23058363IIRC there was an anon who made and 3d printed that a few years ago. I don't know if they ever posted the file though
>>23058537It's otaku. Girlpla is not even remotely popular outside of japan.
>>23058539Neither are trannies
>>23058537Do they even like girlpla to begin with?
>>23058539Neither are you
>>23058488>AcguyThis will NEVER happen.

leave girlpla out of thisyou even build?
>>23058452You can watch her build videos, it's clearly her.
>>23058586but... she has hot boobs
>>23058570Where. please. I need this.
>>23058597you can kinda tell she's probably around 30 which makes it a lot more believable
>>23058539For me, it's just looksism. Don't look like an ugly goblin and I won't make fun of you. Simple as that. But, trannies who pass mostly stick to porn and porn-adjacent careers in the West. Which leaves the 99% of other trannies.
this is fucking bullshitI feel like I've done nothing today despite the fact I've in fact done a whole fucking lot of thingsI've just had a bunch of days recently where I didn't get much done so now I automatically feel like "Oh I didn't get anything done today" around this time of night EVEN THOUGH I FUCKING DID THE FAGGOT PLASTIC ROBOT IS SITTING RIGHT THERE IT'S PAINTED AND EVERYTHING WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT
>>23058610You need to post photos of it.
>>23058602Walking through cons is the worst. Literally just unshaven dudes in dresses everywhere.
https://x.com/KimuraAtsushi/status/1881533871004713242
>>23058613Used to be the unshaven men wore the dresses because it was funny, not because they were mentally ill(they still were mentally ill, it was just unrelated).
>>23058602It's really easy to tell when it's an actual tranny vs. a coombrained autist trying to get his autogynephilia fixBecause actual trannies use their male problem-solving skills to make themselves pass
Beside the RG Amatsu Mina, what models come with orange beam shields? Or at least where can I get a clear beam shield that I can paint myself
https://x.com/KimuraAtsushi/status/1879554362592350600I wish I had the functioning hands to paint this well
>>23058620Did you try the bleach trick with a pink one yet?
>>23058623Didn't know there was a bleach trick, I'm guessing just soak pink translucent pieces in bleach and it'll become clear? Any specifics on concentration or just regular store bleach is enough?Also what kits have pink beam shields lol the only ones I find are green or blue
>>23058347And now who is the triggered bitch? >cheap like a dollar store toyDont compare my gunpla to your mother.
>>23058634Your build sucked but a bit of panel lining would have made it suck a bit less.
>>23057089Almost done.
>>23058634>who is the triggered bitch?I didn't think anyone was until you started lashing out over basic criticism.
>>23058620If you want orange, you can probably paint clear yellow over pink.
>>23058135The universe has a funny way of making jokes. I just got an email from USAgundamStore about restocks and new shit with this sumbitch staring me in the face. Preorder with Q3 ship expected. I'm going to sleep on it, but thing memory serves these tend to go quick.

How do i stiffen/strengthen polycap-based ball joints
>>23058705Joint strengthening pens are great for that.
>>23058706that's nice that there's a tool specifically for that but i frankly haven't been sniffing plastic crack for long enough to have a fishing tacklebox full of extremely specific tools including Mr. Cocky Boing Boing's Magic Pen for Foreskin Regrowth
>>23058709You can put a layer of matte clearcoat onto the part going into the cap to increase the size a bit and make it fit a bit tighter.
>>23058711thankyou anon
>>23058713For real though you can get a join strengthening pen on ali for a few dollars. It's a great tool to have around.
>>23058715yeah the problem isn't ordering one the shipping just takes two weeks and i was certain there was a way to do it without a dedicated tool
I just use elmer's glue.
>stop by my local Hobby Lobby today>count four (4) MG Sazabi Ver. Ka's on the shelf on restock dayGoddamn, this is awesome.
>>23058627>>23058623I don't know what you guys are on, you can't change the color of translucent parts. They just become a more faint color of itself. so it will still be translucent pink, but just artificially sun faded by soaking it in bleach
>>23058717the classic method is nail polish
>>23058715will 1 pen last me a while or do i need 2?
>>23058755It'll last a while.
