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!

>>23489179Why did he do it?
>Get the HG Choryujin kit because I heard it scales with the RG Gaogaigar kits>Get warned its a partsformer for the combining gimmick.>Look it up.>Pic related is the partsforming piece.You're shitting me. Really Bandai? You might as well just sell a seperate figure if your going to do this. Its not even a combination gimmick at this point, you're just swapping a few cosmetic pieces around.
>>23489334>please give me less accessories and parts Bandai!!!
>>23489334Think about it the other way, you can recast just a few parts and have both Choryujin, Enryu and Houryu displayed at the same time
>>23489370Nah, it's not a "Give me less stuff" thing. When the only parts of the component robots you end up using are the arms, lower legs, and crane/ladder arms you're left with all this shit. Yeah, you're left with a lot of stuff that you COULD use for kitbashing in theory, but then you lock yourself into only displaying it as Choryujin forever.
is primer even necessary if i'm airbrushing only acrylics and in (mostly) stock colors
>>23489392To use another combiner as an example, Moderoid God Mars has you build all 6 components separately, yet in order to get the on-screen look for both the individual robots and the combined Godmars, you basically have to dismantle the arm/leg mechs by removing pretty much everything except their torso, then slapping on an additional part below that to attach pretty much the entire lower leg. This is everything you're left over with. Fun fact, I used the blue leg pieces from Sphinx as the backpack parts for the Earthshaker Hound last groupbuild. Yeah this puts me in the scenario that I'll never be able to properly display the six together, but I bought the thing for Godmars, not Gaia, Sphinx. Uranus, Titan, Ra, and Shin. However it's completely understandable to want to display Hyoryu and Enryu on their own instead of ChoRyujin since they're actual characters instead of mindless combiner drone pieces. >>23489399A thousand times yes. If not for adhesion then to just ensure you get proper color coverage.
>>23489399Most acrylics paints won't really stick to the plastic on their own. The primer is a medium that adheres to the plastic, which the paint can then stick to.
>https://youtube.com/shorts/cLtleIyRxOs?si=eLORACAcmXkKWwP1His scribing skills pisses me off ngl. Its very clean.
>>23489413i bet these ruler tape things are retardedly pricy
>>23489370>"Please take more of my money by bloating the price by $10-$20 to cover for lazy engineering Bandai!"
Which is more value for the money, canned spray primer or primer for hand painting?
>>23489421Cans are definitely the money waster option
>>23489413What do these lines accomplish?
>>23489436greeble
>>23489436Makes it go faster
>>23489444Wouldn't it make it go slower because the air resistance is now contending with grooves?
>>23489436contraband cache
>>23489436What does painting accomplish
>>23489487Why are you answering a question with a question?
>>23489501Why dont you answer the question?
>>23489436They insist upon themselves.
>>23489449Not in space
>>23489179I just spent 4.5 hours. turning FM Vidar into a Gusion.Who the fuck told me that IBO Gundams have the same frame? that's a goddamn LIE.I had to do a fucking tranny surgery on Vidar's waist just so it can fit inside Gusion's body armor.Gusion's Leg, Arm and Body (Back) armors rely on long male connectors that connect into a hole in the arm/leg, which Vidar doesn't have, so I had to snip all the male connectors on armors or made a hole in some of the frame part (another tranny surgery).And the THIGH - LEG joints are straight up incompatible. Gusion's joints are "Claw" type, while Vidar is... idk how to call it, but it's Gear-like/Circular, so I had to snip the Circular stuff and turned it into a Claw shape that I can insert into the hole inside Gusion's leg + double tape, so it can actually stay there with minimal leg articulation.Goddamn man, I'm just a casual snapshitter, but I felt like RAYSTUDIO trying to fit an Infinite Justice inside a Z'gok today.That was very tough, but well worth it. What a badass FAT FROG. I need The O and Dom to become its friends.
>>23489521The Gusions
>>23489521i don't get itthere's a 1/100 frog gusion? or did you put the hg parts on the frame
>>234895261/100 Gusion is Gusion + Rebake set. 2 armor types, but only 1 frame. can't display both.
>>23489392Why are you making such a retarded statement? What if i don't want Choryujin? What if i want the twin robots? >Groupbuild dudeYeah no wonder. Fucking faggot running a faggy thread such as this.
>>23489521Also, the Hammer is way too heavy to lift.Gusion/Rebake set provides 4 gripping hands, but 2 can only be used on Rebake's backpack arms since the joints are too big for the normal arms and I already used both gripping hands on Rebake, so there's nothing left for Gusion.I tried using Vidar's gripping hand on Gusion, but of fucking course it's incompatible with Gusion's green hand armor, so I had to use Rebake's right hand and let Rebake grip the Axe with its backpack 3rd hand instead.fucking Bandai, man...
>>23489539Imagine being this buttblasted lmao
>Mogs your backlog while being cuteNothing personnel /gpg/
>>23489543
>>23489543>all bandaislopdoesn't seem very mogging to me
>>23489543I can only dream of having a backlog this big
I don't like protagonist mech
>>23489549any of them? from any franchise?
>>23489543My backlog is unironically bigger and I'm pretty sure my ZAP is more expensive than that entire wall by itself
>>23489539>What if i don't want Choryujin? What if i want the twin robots? Then display them as Hyoryu/Enryu? Either way you're still left with leftover parts from the truck modes, let alone the huge Choryujin body. I mean fuck, even the $300+ Soul of Chogokin includes parts to swap out for a more anime accurate look, even though it can still do a perfect transformation. It's just the nature of Symmetrical Docking where you either have to sacrifice any semblance of joints in the torso or do faux parts for it to be fully articulated.
Don't care.I will NEVER buy a gbitch kit.I will NEVER buy a gcucks kit.I WILL buy more Wing kits.I WILL buy more Seed kits.I WILL buy more IBO kits.I WILL buy X kits (when I'm in the mood for it).
>>23489553you should build it
>>23489527oh ok, didn't know that
>>23489553Lets see it
>>23489560Cool 1/25 tiger. Does it have a inner frame? Bandai should reprint those.
>>23489553But are you cuter? Yeah I dont think so buddy.

>it transforms
>>23489283My favorite Macross The Movie design and my Favorite Macross TV series design, together and coming soon. Awesome!
>take inspo from something>not sure for the finishing touch, pull up reference>the detail I had in mind was a complete invention on my partturns out i'm an ex-nihilo chador a mandela effect cel
>>23489283That plastic Lynn Minmay kit better be fucking good. I got burned the last time they made one. I think it was Hasegawa or some shit but I remember opening the box, seeing her gummy ass down syndrome fetal alcohol looking face and just throwing the box to the sidewalk
>>23489617Oh god dammit I just looked and it IS fucking Hasegawa. Again. Son of a bitch I think I'm gonna wait for the reviews before pre-ordering. God I hate Hasegawa's character models so much. Their mecha look fine idk why they cant get faces right though. They're like Games Workshop bad.
>>23489617it says resin
>>23489414cant you just use normal plastic tape?
>>23489633no, big plamo conditioned me into thinking the scriber would eat straight through it
>>23489593It's just a modified zeta ver ka so yeah?
I didn't liked the show, but the Solaris is growing on me
>>23489641My brother in christ the base kit is a GQuuuuuuX Gelgoog.
>>23489593qwucksilicious
>>23489647Oh so he slapped the gcucks hg on a zeta hg.
>>23489642what's the guy on the right
>>23489650I mean there's some other kits involved too (The head is from a Harute with the Mk II's vulcans attached for example) but engineering the transformation at that scale is still fairly impressive.
>>23489636Just lightly feather the scribing until you have a stable edge.
>>23489652Forgot the line name, but they made a Gundam and Zaku statues that looke like carved out of stone
>>23489592>>23489593looks like he used 5+ kits for this, I could never break down 5 Hgs for parts, you are just wasting a shit ton of money at that point,>HG Gquuuux Gelgoog>HG P Bandai Barzam>HG Zeta>2x HG Michaelis>HG Harutedont know where the legs and back boosters came from
>>23489676imo anything goes if it's in service of the vision but it's far easier to get scrap parts in japan. some on yahoo auctions/mercari sell kits by the arms/legs/torso/accessories and I've seen images of stores there doing that too
Greetings, noob here.I've been thinking about 3D-printing spare parts for an old kit i have (cant hold his rifle due to loose joints). You wouldnt know if there are already some databases with the 3D models already done?. Or im going to learn to model them myself. Or maybe its a bad idea to begin with>pic relatedhaha...
What kit? You could literally buy a "Joint Strengthening Pen" and just apply a little bit and strengthen the joints. Alternatively it would be faster to recast the joints unless you have a printer and it's simple enough to 3d model.
I bought a Chang saber effect, it's too cool, thank you my Chinese brothers for creating kino.
>De minimis removed>Everything on Surugaya drops like $5They're just taunting Americans now.
>>23489889holy basedtime to buy out all the stock
>>23489889I don't even know what I wanna buy from surugay anymore, my backlog is too big.
Imagine a perfect world where Americans are priced out of Gundam. No more Wingfaggots, no more WfMtroons. Only UC and SEEDkino.We're in the golden timeline, friends.
>>23489912>SEAd
>>23489912Imagine no more catering to the "realism" Muh w40k faggets. Only super robot gundam and a bunch of kino.
>>23489889>5 dollarsWow. Much savings.
It's amazing how I can see the same shitposters (most likely) claim that the US market is both irrelevant as most sales go to Japan/China and also that the US market is so relevant that Bandai caters to us and they hope they'll stop catering to us now.
>>23489953both of those statements are true albeit I personally will never forgive Wing for taking that Ver Ka spot with the Zero Custom and hope that nightmare is all behind us now
>>23489953John Bandai works in mysterious ways and attempt to understand his thought process is an exercise in frustration.
>>23489953It's almost like shitposters just want to say things to stir shit and not things they actually believe.
do you guys have any display shelf recommendations from IKEA? I live like right by one lol
>>23490033I have Detolf but its discontinued
>>23490040they have the blaliden now but I hear it's kind of shit
>smaller than HG>somehow has sharper/better detailsSo HGs fucking suck on purpose then
>>23490052sure if you only snapshit it
>>23490063man i want to get these to vary up my painting but looking at them this close it's intimidating
>>23489837This one. Granted im watching some video and apparently the kit itself is kinda bad.>>23490033I bought the skruvby some months ago and its fine.
>>23490075This was one of my first gunpla kits ever. I got it from an EB Games in Atlanta. I loved the effect parts it came with.
>>23490069The worst thing about these is removing the seam lines
my backlog can sustain itself from falling by touching the ceiling
>>23489889Prices haven't changed at all.
>>23489912i hate SEAd too but i would accept this compromise
>>23489521>Who the fuck told me that IBO Gundams have the same frame? that's a goddamn LIE.Why would you listen to advice from this board?
>>23490095>99% bandai>meme poster
>>23490063Oh, so when you complain about kits not being sharp enough it just means that they don't have mold flashing on them, I see.
Is hobby lobby getting rid of their gundam section?
>>23490095what's this one?
>>23490033My Deltolfs filled up recently so I took some space from books on my Billy bookshelf. It's about the right depth for Action Base 1s for MGs even with their extendy bit and about 6 wide. I think you can fit 4 MG height shelves with an extra for HG?
>>23490112g self from reconquita in gi never managed to find one of those kits coming to think of it
IDK if this is the right place to ask but is there any kind of repository on the net with high quality pictures of painted models? Especially interested in VOTOMS ones. I know there's a yearly VOTOMS-themed con in Japan with lots of dioramas, but I couldn't find high-res pictures.
>>23490110They just seem to be moving away from MG kits. Used to be they would have two shelves for MG kits, but they're clearing one of those shelves for stuff like Digimon, Kyokai Senki, 30MM, and Mazinger. Their HG and RG selection is about the same as it was before.
>>23490130>Kyokai SenkiThat shit doesn't even sell in Japan. How are they getting retailers to take stock of it.
>>23490130>clearing one of those shelves for stuff like Kyokai Senkilmfao
>>23490130Mines only had MG RX-78 3.0 as far as MGs go for a few months now. Rather annoying as they have a shelf spot for Seed MG and I'm looking for a Freedom 2.0
>>23490133I think foreign retail partners are little more than cockpuppets for bandai, they get what they get and they get it when they get itThey don't send a wishlist
>>23490133My guess is they're getting the kits second-hand from unsold stock in Japan, and getting a good deal for it. Then praying (lol) that the average American consumer who has never watched the show will see these plastic robot toys that look cool and buy them.
>>23490152they do send a wishlisthowever it's mostly ignored and they get sent kyoukai senki and battleogues instead, partly because bandai already has a set schedule of prints and they aren't going to print the mg turn x just because 5 shops wanted 2 each
>>23490114do you have the double wide billy or like the single tall one?
>>23490157Bandai also intentionally sends shelfwarmers to euro storesProlly because the yakuza dinosaur higher ups have some sperg grudge or something

>>23490881They insist upon themselves, anon
>>23490865hummingbird kit fucking WHEN???????
>>23490926Isn't it just a Zeta Plus with a bunch of bullshit strapped onto it? Maybe an expansion pack.
>>23490930I wouldn't mind an expansion pack for the MG C1 and A1 desu
>>23490930Looks like a kitbash of the Zeta Plus C1 and the S-Gundam Booster Unit's leg boosters
>>23490964>S-Gundam Booster Unit's leg boostersAre there any kits that have these?
>>23490881thats literally the original design straight from Katoki.
>>23490975(P-Bandai) [Bst] S Gundam Booster Unit Type
>>23490456Seems like a mentally ill guy starting his hoard, since there's other pictures where he also has multiple same kits of different car models and plane models as well
>>23490980Huh wow what the fuck, when was the last time this fucking thing was even on P-Bandai?
That Geass x Wing Zero Custom is cool but damn that price
What's the greebliest first party kit out there right now?
>>23491030Either something from Moon Gundam or the Gundams from Gquuux
>>23491034It's 100% the gcuck zakuvarguil doesn't look out of place next to a jesta
>>23491030Pick any Infinitism kit.
>>23491034>>23491045wait no i know it's the Requiem for Vengeance kits
If Bandai ask Katoki to design MGSD of S-Gundam, would he do it?
>>23491001it only got issued once... in 2014! another alternative is to kitbash it from Deep Striker, which is coming next year.
>>23491059>it only got issued once... in 2014!Kind of wild, I get why the EX-S never gets reprinted (lots of fucking plastic) but is the base Sentinel that much plastic? And those boosters can't be too crazy.Wonder if we'll see this go up soon with all the other sentinel reprints.
Where are the biomech updates
>>23491073I'm still waiting for my order of putty to finish the Lost Lagoon Gundam.
>>23491073Waiting for the other girpla anons to post WIPs so I can steal their ideas
>>23491059>>23491071It's not as much plastic as you think. The S Gundam Booster lacks a inner frame ouside of its upper body which is just a S Gundam. Deep Striker is the only Master Grade kit that completely lacks a inner-frame. If it had been released earlier it would have probably been a RE/100 kit and might have been planned as such.
>>23491146I've never built the Deep Striker or even looked at it that closely, but would it even really benefit from an inner frame? It sure seems like it's just a complete brick shithouse. People joke about the EX-S only having two poses but the Deep Striker seems like it might unironically have 0 poses.
>>23491030The Requiem For Vengeance kits easily, just look at >>23489642
>>23491149The videos I've watched on it its guns, head, some of the back binders, and thruster nozzles move and that's about it. Some inner frame would have been nice, if only to show off the internal components of the boosters, cockpit, things like that
>>23491157I guess my reply was kind of dumb, there's basically no situation where an inner frame isn't a big net improvement so you're right. Really do wonder if you're on to something with the RE 1/100 theory.
>>23490926Zeta Plus is the next Ver Ka. The MG Deep Striker redesigned boosters already have room to plug into the legs.We will have our day soon brother.
If only there was a readily available Samus model kit..
>>23491192If there was a Samus kit that had both the Zero Suit and the Varia Suit as optional add-ons I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Or if it's two separate kits so I can pose them back to back on a nice stand.
>>23491203it's not gonna happen until nintendo finds some way to make it out of cardboard.
>>23491149it's repurposed from the 1.5 Ex-S, which is in turn repurposed from the first Ex-S MG from 23 years ago. MGs from that era either includes an inner frame or not, like ZZ Gundam.
RG Nu Gundam Fukuoka bootleg by Gaogao.
>>23491236I don't trust Gaogao anymore.
>>23491239it's probably a good source of Fukuoka funnels if you missed out on the third part add-ons
>>23491211I forgot how ANAL nintendo is when it comes to their IPs.
So is buying from Mandarake just not an option anymore until this mail situation un-shitifies itself? That's my go to for random obscure kits.
>>23491292>mail situation un-shitifies itselfWhat situation?

>>23491299US willingly becoming a 3rd world country like Brazil
>>23489251diorama base. what a difference some primer makes! I hope I don't regret purple. I am still mustering the courage to cut up the gundam and apply putty..
>>23491303>having friendsOf course not, that's why I build model kits and post on 4chan instead.
>>23491236Gaogao is shitat least get Daban
>>23489251Took a few days off but I just finished the base paint for the GM. Just need to do some panel lining, decals and some hand painting.

>>23491457and it's a lazy recolor too.>b-b-b-but FAZZ isn't FA ZZfaggot. it's 99.5% the same even the name.they should've made MG Qubeley ver.Ka insteadWhoops, China already did that? God bless China.
>>23491468>Ultrasonic cleaningWait you can do that in plastic? I have one sitting around I use for my suppressors. I assume it just takes off any mold release and dust? Do I do it after cutting or just drop the whole sprue in (I assume the former)?
>>23491482it's overkill for cleaning mold release and dust, soapy water is enough, and more useful for stripping paint
>>23491457This kit is the ultimate monkey's paw.
>>23491457Zeta got the Ver. Ka, that's more than enough.>>23491478That thing looks like dogshit.
>>23491482I just leave my suppressors dirty.>>23491478It's like they took everything cool about the qubeley and removed it from the design.
>>23491487Oh that's sad to hear. Was excited for a new use for it.>>23491496It makes a difference on my .22LR can as those aren't strong enough to blow out most of the crap. You'd be surprised at how much better it works after only like 900 rounds.
>>23491496>everything cool about the qubeleysuch as?
>>23491511they are really handy for cleaning up 3d resin prints too, though the resin kind of really fucks up the cleaner and I wouldn't trust using it for anything different once it's been used for that.
>>23491478>overdesigned>greeble>awkward fucking scale for no fucking reason
>>23491518Smooth, clean lines.
Some of you will pretend to like any kit if you think it owns Bandai somehow.
got a job at Bandai as part of their international plamo assassin guild.
>interested in Osiris Kshatriya>3452342 parts with a bunch of moving partsuhh.. I just know I'd break it
>>23491527>awkward fucking scale for no fucking reasonSpeaking of, what's up with the LA Jedah? I've seen it previewed as being both 23cm, and 22cm, also this image. Did they revise the model and scale it down to be more accurate? (canon height is 21.8m).
>>23491030No contest
anyone have videos of modelers airbrushing stuff similar to the purple-to-white gradient on hi nu ver ka funnels? I don't know how to do that well without decals
>>23491073I'm working on my entry for the Paintonplastic Maschinen Krieger contest since that's ending first.
>>23491659Why bother with that? Just practice your gradient game on a spoon
>>23491683spoon is for eating
>>23491698why not eat with a painted spoon, you get some added texture and flavoring
>>23491698if you are too good to paint spoons, then paint runners, boxes, cardboard, or whatever else.>99% air 1% paint to build up low opacity color slowly>the more practiced you are, the faster you can go, but it's always easier to go slow
>>23491312that shit's cool anon, cant wait to see what kind of fucked up dead gundam you put on it
>>23489414i bought a roll of scribing tape for $2 on aliexpress and still havent used it to scribe anything

>>23491482there is no mold release on bandai plastic or any reasonably modern other plastic kits, maybe if you buy boomer tank models it's an issue. or of course if you build resin garage kits
>>23491030Phenex, Banshee, Deep Striker, Ex-S,
>>23491683but then i would have to actually sit down at my modeling table and do work. this way i never move my ass out of the computer chair. just like all of last month
is it biomecha if i mix real human blood (mine) into the paint?
>>23491698Yes, for eating lacquers straight from the jar with.
>>23491788Depends on the percentage.

>>23491745thanks anon it's for my group build entry. I have plans for a forest guardian/living tree gundam. I had real concerns over how the diorama would turn out because I tried 2 different wall fillers and neither cured hard like I expected, but I think once it's painted and flocked it will look uniform enough.
>never cared for gms>recently rewatched 0083>hey the gm custom actually looks kinda slick>go on aliex>no bootleg gm custom kits to be foundChang... you have failed me...
