-=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

I watched Bravern and genuinely felt utterly irreconcilably meh towards it
The setup with the towers and the time travel just felt too much like the entire plot was built around the twist, in some ways too in-your-face meta.

It feels like the world of the anime exists solely to facilitate the twist, and I don't find the twist nearly appealing enough to give it a pass.
>>
>>23539002
it's not really the kind of anime you should think that much about. i think its main problem was having too many gay sex jokes. without those, i probably would have enjoyed it more
>>
>>23538996
Bandai could had milked the MGEX base and sell it without LED as a 2.0 , but Bandai is quite autistic about this line for some reason.

Where's the best place to get china kits? Alliexpress? I never know what to trust on that shithole. I kinda want to try the chink MG O.

China, probably.
>>
PGU Zock
>>
>>23539186
Doesn't aliexpress have some pretty crazy buyer protections?
>>
>>23539186
Aliexpress is fine in general but I'm surprised that people don't consider getting things form Taobao(from the same group of Aliexpress and the biggest ecommerce sites in China) for Chinese products, it's more complicated to set up as it's not designed for foreigners to use, but it could save you a lot of money in long terms because the price in China is way cheaper than when they are selling internationally.
>>
>>23539186
I have bought from Ali 2 times, both water slide decal sheets. One of them arrived quickly with no problem, fast and affordable. The other never arrived, and there is seemingly no way to rectify. Luckily it was only like 4 bucks.
But yeah, I hesitate to buy anything pricy from them, I have 1 great experience and 1 bad experience.
>>
>>23539222
NTA but I've used Taobao in the past and after shipping it ends up not being cheaper by a large enough margin to make up for the hassle compared to ali. I would say it's only worthwhile if you're ordering a LOT of stuff all at once.
>>
>>23539226
True, it depends heavily on where you live and the amount of stuff you order.

Alclad Aqua Gloss Clear is made for that. Alclad would easily dull when topped with lacquer-based clear coats.

I used GX 112/114 (the gloss one I can't remember to correct number) over their candy and metallic and it was fine. But they don't cure as fast a lacquer so you have to wait at least a day. It's always better to test on a spoon anyway.

The inner frame for just the legs is like 12 pages, and that's with every step being a "do this twice" step. It's probably the second most involved kit I've ever built, only possibly behind the PGU. And that's only slightly behind, maybe. Hard to say for sure until it's finished.

This wing zero has a polycap in it now. I lost the piece to connect the body to the arm and modified a spare polycap to replace it, The arm with the polycap feels a lot better than the one with the hard plastic joint.
Anyone have thoughts on the color choices so far? I decided to add a bit of purple to the red and I increased the contrast on the blues and added a few extra shades. I'm embracing the greeble and frantic color choices of the base kit.

And here it is next to an also 1/100 VF-25 that I built way back in college that doesn't transform. I didn't realize the YF-29 was so much larger. Wish I was a better modeler back then as the stickers are coming off, and the pencil panel line is smudging due to no top coat.

I don't mind smol MS. I have almost the entire HGAC line and the RG Tallgeese, which is great. From what I've seen, RG Epyon looks cooler than the MG and seems like a great kit as well. I just want to be sure the MG it's not one of those "dated" kits full of issues. Most reviews I've seen praise it, but that's just because of mindless wingslopper brain that will eat up anything Wing related, I don't trust it.

The MG is pretty good. It has a set of static hands and the frame seems strong enough to handle transformation. If the kit actually sucks, you won't see gunplafags stop bitching about it.

I want to make a Makoto Kobayashi-looking build and I've been studying his work for a while now.

Most I can discern is long tall bulky legs, tiny chests, short and stout arms, flat surfaces having a bunch of greebles and a general grimey look. And zimmermit when applicable.

Any elements I'm missing in my analysis? Any advice on how I can reach something like this from a normal HG kit?

Some of us don't actually like or care about building model kits and just want a fig of a robot we like, but unlike with anime cute girl figs, robot fig options are limited and mostly in plamo form you need to build.
>>
>>23540542
Simply changing the proportions, adding greeble and zimmerit isn't necessarily going to result in a Kobayashi-esque design. There's a lot more to it than that. I think you should look at soft shell crustaceans, WWII era machines and thr art of Mobius which he imitates frequently

Just built HG Zirius, and for some reason they gave you 6 sets of beam sabers.
They're not exactly surplus parts since each runner deliberately has 3 sets of them, and the manual did say that you can attach them to the backpack, but none of the official images have them, so it's not an official configuration or anything.
Wonder why.

I always got the feeling Kobayashi sneaks his fetishes into his designs somehow but I can't prove it. I got the same feeling from the Megaman Zero character designer and then I found out he also does hentai on the side, so I know this feeling is clearly based on something.

I don't think there's anything wrong with buying pre-built models especially if you're going to disassemble it and paint it anyway. I actually might run back and adopt this guy. It's just too cheap to turn down, I don't think I'll ever have this opportunity again.

Microwave puddles of PVA glue. They form into fun elastic sheets of tearing flesh. You can seal them to joints with a mix of PVA and super glue. Not my pic, but I got similar results with this technique.

Can't speak for the others but I think they're neat. I personally would rather use 1/100 scale gunpla for wargaming alongside other combined arms stuff, but that's just me. They are very cool sculpts. I built my first Gunpla when I was 9 or so (HG Sandrock. I thought I was buying an action figure and was very confused when I opened the box) so that was kind of my gateway into modeling. I have quite the gunpla backlog but most of my hobby time for the past few years has gone towards miniatures.
Sorry for the tangent. This thread kind of makes me want to dig a kit out of the pile.

I just watched a japanese video about Axis Model 1/100 Kshatriya and it's really sad and funny.
It's full of Japanese people moralfagging and coping in the comment section about how piracy is wrong no matter what, and they won't buy the kit even though they think it's really good lol
Surprisingly, some of them bragged about how they bought it and all other cool bootlegs like 1/100 Nightingale and FA Hyaku Shiki.
and some of them tried to justify piracy because they hate Bandai's shitty business model with limited stocks and P-Bandai shit and how they're making their stuff really difficult to buy even for the japanese.

my favorite comment:
>well, it's a crime to produce and sell bootlegs, but it's not a crime to buy them. If you like the design, then just go buy it, but keep it to yourself, don't tell anyone about it
Their desire basically defeated their nippon moralfaggotry spirit LOL

This is not Bandai's OC or a drastic redesign, the HG kit simply got made based on Kanesys's 3D model and lineart. Kanesys was just a popular drawfag on Twitter and Zirius is his first official, liscenced Gundam design. Before this, he did several stuff like illustrations for Gundam Card Collection and some obscure gacha games.

And? It still looks pathetic in such scale, you should go for 1/100 scale for those kind of in-universe manlet. You faggots shit on 1/24 human of Hexagear line all the time because they are tiny, yet it is suddenly a sensitive topic when it comes to Gunpla.

You can say comparing to Hi Nu is silly, however, 1/144 Crossbone is even smaller than a 1/144 Zaku - a shorter than average robot. It looks significantly dogshit.
>>
my penis is bigger than hg kits
>>
>>23541275
In universe, Zaku is 17.5M while the crossbone is 15.9M. No matter what scale, the crossbone will always be smaller than most units. It would be the same for units from Victory or F91. Your issue isn't with the scale, it's with the unit size itself.

I think I'll go for another one in the not too distant future. I feel like I should take what I learned from this build and use it for another custom with meat elements. Maybe different meat color/more color variation. I had an incident with glue that gave me an idea for pus, I might test out using chemoprene (neoprene rubber contact glue) for texturing.

Don't tell me that. I want comforting lies. Ive been contemplating buying a Zeong MG but man that thing is both ancient and goofy looking. It'd take a master to make it look as good as the RG does. Custom scribing all those panels lines, reshaping parts with a plaplate and cement, it'd be a monumental task.

It might irritate your skin if you don't wear gloves.
>>
>>23541432
If you're handling it in putty form, just make sure to wash your hands properly afterwards. If it cured and you're sanding it, just don't inhale the dust or wear a mask to be safe. Obviously if you're working with it a few times a year there's not a problem but if you're working with it constantly then yes you should be wearing some sort of respirative protection. Google it and look for yourself.
>>
>>23541347
What was your inspo?
>>
>>23541432
Yes. Wear gloves at a minimum, when working with it. Don't breath the dust, wear a respirator if you're going to be sanding it down. Clean up any dust with a wet towel. Don't work with it around food. Wash your hands and work station and avoid contamination. Don't work with it around pets, children, or pregnant women, its toxic, especially the dust. Once its cured, sanded, and washed it should be fine to handle, needless to say dont chew it, or leave it around someone who might chew on it (children, pets, ect)

Various fleshy designs I've been seeing here and there for a long time
It's hard to point to one thing because a lot of the aesthetic came from me figuring out how the epoxy putty behaves as I worked

I like the HG F91 and I like the Crossbone's design, still waiting patiently for the RG, but should I just get the HG instead? The price different isn't that huge and I like the increased range of motion. But I've only built the RG God Gundam whereas something smaller like Number 57's Yui was sometimes a bit infuriating to put together.

They should make more RGs in general.
>>
>>23542205
They should make less RGs, even discontinue some of them

What even were the MS assigned to the Radish? IIRC the Mk 2 was only seen with the Argama.

Reminds me I saw this earlier. Is there an actual Dogosse Giar decal out there or did they make this out of the others?
>>
>>23542324
Wouldn't be surprised if it was some third party decal, there are plenty of them out there

Holy fuck
>>
>>23542370
the hi mega cannon probably has slightly different details because IIRC the one in the FAZZ is a dummy while the actual Full Armor ZZ has a functioning one
>>

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I LIKE THE BLUE COLOUR.
>>
>>23542211
Eh. This just solidifies my decision to buy a regular ZZ. I genuinely think this is a less interesting design.
>>
>>23542425
If you get this one you got a free zz as a bonus.
>>
>>23542425
FWIW, FA ZZ is the only way you can buy Enhanced ZZ as a retail release.

>mega rifle has a different barrel design
>head is original ZZ, while FAZZ's is more of an Ex-S head.
>shorter backpack
>>
>>23542438
Full Armor ZZ also has the normal ZZ's Double Beam Rifle while the FAZZ has a different design

Ra Callium suits have an RA designation on their markings
>>
>>23542276
seems like Bandai gave Katoki a greenlight to Ver Ka. a bunch of the woefully outdated Gundam designs
>>
>>23542374
looks like on the FAZZ Ver Ka. he remade the dummy mega particle cannon into a camera
>>
>>23542444
That's because it's Amuro's. Ray, Amuro.

Below the RA is the Ra Callium marking, the RA is for Ray Amuro
>>
Evens I paint the inside of these thrusters yellow.
Odds I paint them red.
>>
>>23542450
I hate TB kits, they're too obnoxiously large or spindly with a bunch of sub arms holding shields or with fuck-huge boosters on their backs
>>
>>23542448
That's actually a neat idea, and it makes more sense than just throwing something that weighed the same as the mega particle cannon in there to imitate the weight of the intended final unit.
>>
>>23541940
Now why didn't he think of that!

I'm not sure whether the GN Flag is chunkier than it should be or the old Overflag was too much of a stick to begin with.

Who decided that Amuro is such a fucking diva that he needs both his initials and his insignia painted on his MS?

>>23542575
Amuro did

>>23542575
probably his fucking girlfriend who designed the thing for him

That's a custom build, you fucking retards. Stop falling for fake news.
>>
>>23542594
canonically, that's the only difference between the two ZZ's really, so you can accurately estimate how the FA ZZ Ver Ka would look like with a couple of parts swapping

Katoki likes to pull tricks with his MGs. Federation Sinanju almost looked exactly the same as its Zeon makeover so he retconed this completely with Sinanju Stein because he knew people could have just recreate this without buying the new MG.

i'd go for lighter brown or clear orange for that one.

The added fat make it look better.
It doesn't have OG Flag sagging man boobs and the hands doesn't not look goofy anymore
