-=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 seasoned, 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.

>>23529061So subtle I can't even notice it. You sure it's even there?
>>23529122the left sideskirt and chest kind of gives it away.
High grade plastic model kit of the Charlie kirk shooting with part seperated blood and articulated republican shooter gimmick by bandai namco
>>23529138My man, that's just the light hitting the kit. You can tell from the direction the shadow is pointing.
2 weeks listed and F90 are still available. this just proves that not a lot of Gundam fans love late UC
>>23529118Been working on a 1/20 Grosser Hund. Next up are some custom parts and a small diorama for him.
>>23529173do thirdies even know what late UC is?
>>23529173holy fuck that's a good price for the den'an-gei
Does anyone own any 30 Minutes Missions models? I bought a Forestieri because I liked the design and am thinking of getting a Verdenova to try out some basic kit-bashing, but I heard of complaints about the joints becoming loose over time.
>>23529155isn't that the whole point of Zenithal shading? you paint highlights and shadows to the kit emulating how they would look like under a certain light source angle.
>>23529173Theres a difference between UC fans that really just like Tomino Gundam and the ones that are actually into the spin-offs and side material.
>>23529179i own a good amount of them, just strengthen the joints with your preferred method (superglue, tape, joint pen, etc) and they'll be fine
>>2352917930MM uses C-clips for the knee joints, which are notorious for wearing out faster than any other joint types. personally i don't like them because of the ugly 3mm holes that riddle most of the kits on the line.
