-=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. To fix it save out your images separately, or use an app that will rotate and save the images for you.
One easy to use app that works well on Android:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobilephotoresizer

My man, that's just the light hitting the kit. You can tell from the direction the shadow is pointing.

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.
>>
>>23529155
isn'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.
>>
>>23529173
Theres a difference between UC fans that really just like Tomino Gundam and the ones that are actually into the spin-offs and side material.
>>
>>23529179
i own a good amount of them, just strengthen the joints with your preferred method (superglue, tape, joint pen, etc) and they'll be fine
>>
>>23529179
30MM 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.
>>
>>23529173
I think it rather proves that the F90 is unpopular and once again making 27 of them was the most out of left field decision imaginable.
>>
>>23529202
i guess spamming it creates buyer fatigue which is why Bandai is right at making everything limited p-bandai shit because FOMO is a very strong motivator to consoom.
