-=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:

Valiant and Vanguard Leader still include proper robotic faces, it's just Zirconia and Emulator that only have flesh faces. The werewolf dude and the shrine maiden that are future releases are both full robots too. They'll probably end up doing the new Maria kit with a robotic recolour later on as well.

Yeah, paint will get damaged, but I think it's supposed to be fine because damage will be hidden after panel lining.

Hey I made it to the OP pic.

Anyways, this thing is finally complete, I'll take some better pics under sunlight tomorrow but overall, a lovely kit, terrible assembly process. Everything is fine and dandy with the legs, waist and torso, but once you begin with the arms and head, jesus fuck...

Those out there who own this thing and do full paintjobs and shit with it are absoute pros considering all the issues this thing has.

As expected, the arm can't hold the weight of the shield at all, you attach the arm conector to the corresponding hole in the forearm and the whole thing falls from the shoulder, so I made a stand for it using leftover parts and connectors from action bases.

I went with mica red for the sword but I dunno if there was a problem with the can or something but after spraying the blade some weird textures, bubbles and shit began to appear all over it. Honestly I was fed up at this point so I did not eve bother to sand and try to go all over again with it so whatever

I also ditched the cables/tubes for the weapons because they are fucking garbage

I don't even have a proper space to display it, it needs quite a bit due to the tail stabilizers and the huge horn

Overall, a pretty different experience compared to the usual gunpla, surely the 1/144 kit is better engineered, right?

>>23611954
Cool results. Assembly ranges from ok to kys nightmare. People seem to have very different experiences. I've read reviews that said everything was perfect but on all 3 of my iron toys kits I had troubles. The fits being tight is usually not much of an issue. It becomes a real issue when the metal parts don't fit properly. The decals are nice but also fragile. If you really like the chinkified 00 designs go for it but be ready to fight with the kit at times

Yes, unpacking and sorting all this and checking the parts counts as "working on". This is the final batch of the kit being made so I gotta make sure there's nothing missing or lost while it's still possible to get replacements. About 1600 pieces. I am thinking I will panel line it all, then maybe do a very small amount of spot painting on a few details, then decals and call it a day.

Still need to decal but I need to take a break and/or sleep
Anyway, what I came to ask is how do you guys not destroy your fingers when using your knife? I didn't cut myself to blood or anything but got hella minor little "cuts" on my thumb from where I push into it
>>
>>23613851

>>23613851
>but got hella minor little "cuts" on my thumb from where I push into it
Sounds like you're holding it/ positioning it wrong.
>>
>>23613858
Using your thumb as a backstop is a time honoured tradition of knife use, you just deal with slicing up your thumb a little.
>>

>>23613862
Not sure why. You can get a thumb protector or something if you want.
>>
>>23613851
I just make an improv thimble with masking tape.
or I actually cut myself by accident, superglue it shut and use the glue crust to protect me from further cuts
>>
>>23613857
That would make a lot of sense, the rest of my fingers have hard calluses from playing guitar but just not my thumb!
>>23613866
>>23613868
I was thinking about something like that but at the same time with small parts it seems like it's be more of an inconvenience.
Isn't a massive bother but just thought maybe I am being retarded and pushing too hard but if its common then I'll just stick it out!
>>
>>23613870
Proper hobby knives are really sharp so even with good control you'll still microslice your thumb here and there. You could adopt a different stance and use the knife far less precisely but I wouldn't recommend it. Controlled cuts using your thumb have served me well for 25 years.
>>
>>23613866
Or you can just... not position it that way.
>>
>>23613873
It's nicer to control. There's a reason it's a common grip for whittling (and they sell thumbguards specifically for it).

Do you guys wash your parts before painting?

I usually do it in the sonic cleaner after sanding, but I don't feel it actually does anything that brushing off or blasting it with air wouldn't just as well

>>23614301
If I did a lot to the part like scribing/sanding then yes

Wait which, on the waist unit? That's the only one I noticed unless I'm blind but it was like that on the runner so wasn't much I could do about it unfortunately...

for chinese kits I stick them in the ultra sonic cleaner with some soap because I'm more weary of release agents but for bandai parts I tend to just brush off any sanding dust with a brush and call it good

no
the only time i ever bothered was the volks vsms daccas because the clear runners were slathered in a thick layer of grease. even on that i didn't bother washing the non-clear parts

Dude, I love /gpg/

Yall are lovingly toxic in your own way, but there is a sense of actual community in here for the most part.

Why is every single fucking gunpla community outside of here just toxic, annoying assholes who want to shit on everything. I'll see someone get shit on, see shitters post history and it's the shittiest fucking nubby snapbuild. Talking about :

>"Erm, I think you should practice your scribing and panel-lining"

So many dog-shit communities. OR they're too nice, I've seen 'advanced' gunpla communities where the most dogshit build will also get posted and they'll go:

>"Wow, cool! No notes, literally perfect build!"

In all that is zeon, what the fuck are you talking about? this is supposed to be for advanced gunpla. This is the perfect mix of anonymous people with nothing to lose and nothing tied to them. Theres some filtering to do for sure, but mostly /gpg/ gets it right.

I have no cred to tank so I'll agree with you.

I was talking about that to a friend the other day actually, about how it's surprisingly a good place for growth.

You're going to be talked shit about but most of the regular anons are autistic enough to actually know what they're doing and what you're doing wrong, instead of being like "wowie you did the absolute bare fucking minimum". Like I can tell that comments I've had, shittalk typically came from a place of "do it fucking properly instead of being sloppy to get your action figure quicker" rather than just being retarded contrarians like on so many boards.

There is a decent amount of people to filter tho, between the various schizos and the reddit/twitter shitstirrers that I'm suspecting of being /pol/tards and schizos who are obsessed with specific subjects and/or believe themselves to be stars whose opinion is absolute.

But yeah. I'd rather ask a niche question here, be called a faggot and get an answer from a certified autist that knows what he's talking about than post on reddit and get forced asspats for the sloppiest out of box build ever.

Find pics of the flags you want and laser copy them onto decal paper. It's easier than you think, but most copiers can't print white.

This is a bit of the graphic I made for the G Gundam Groupbuild contest awhile back. You only get one shot, but you have 8.5 x 11 inches to play with, so copy paste everything in different sizes and colours and see whatever works best on the model. The graphics were the hard part. The printing took a few seconds.

it's the demi trainer, the demi barding is a slightly different design that only appears for a few minutes on screen in the show. The drone backpack is pretty cool I'll admit, but I still can't help but wonder if the design exists purely to sell another kit.

should I watch IBO before building the kits? I haven't seen it yet and bought the kits because they looked fun to paint.

I love the build on the right, could use a tiny bit more effort for the bare plastic. The bright silver elbow is also a bit of an eyesore but I think joint color are more of an opinion than any real critique. I also think a minor critique is that the panel lining is fine but some places panel lining fill was used instead of paint for larger details, which doesn't look as good as just painting, ontop of that it has enough topcoat in there to be glossy. The point of the dark paint in these spots is to give the impression of lack of light, which is destroyed by the gloss shine within.

Great job! The cable attachments are ridicolous, especially on the sword which is visibile. Fortunately on later kits they made proper attachments, or at least Vaiola has plugs for its shoulder cables.

The problem comes from how Bandai has complete monopoly over Gunpla. The Changs are more than willing to have official liscence since they can freely do whatever they want without the risk of going to jail.
>>
>>23615348

>>
>>23615838
The problem started when Pbandai became a thing and gunpla had a massive boom during the 2010s. They realized that Gunpla has grown so huge and nolonger have to try to sustain itself. If the customers get angry with shitpla and OCs no one asked for, they will make kits for some random niche robots from an old forgotten MSV, throw them in the Pbandai garbage bin and customers are happy again.

Bandai in the last decade have been trying to expand their hobby division with new IPs. Kyokai Senki, Girls Gun Lady, 30 Minutes Label and now Unkosul Days (Shitpla) and all of these new IPs are horribly mismanaged. GGL is supposed to be a girlpla line featuring cute anime girls, yet its promotional material is a tokusatsu show with real people, how does that even work? Kyokai Senki is a blunder all around and 30ML is just a bunch of OCs with a handful of liscenced characters thrown in to keep the brand alive. Unkosul is the culmination of previous failures: a cheap, poorly made line of product with an aesthetic appeals to no one and no source material because Bandai can't waste millions of dollar on another dogshit tv show no one likes.

I suspect that this is because they don't want what Chang is doing right now with all these highly requested kits being put out. Chang beat bandai to the Perfect Grade Nu. Chang upscaled a bunch of RGs to 1/100 (not perfectly admittedly). Chang made an MG out of the Re/100 Jagd Doga that bandai lazily and sloppily put out, Chang made an MG Kshtriay which bandai shills say is impossible, and now a 1/144 of the Quin Mantha?

Bandai has had decades to do some of this stuff and they just refuse. I know it's stealing, copy right infringement, IP theft, etc. A part of me does believe in the copyright holder getting protected, but bandai's malice is starting to irk me so I'm losing that viewpoint in their favor.

I honestly haven't seen it in a long time. I recall it had some extra weapons but that was all. I have also not seen it again.
But the base kit comes with wings and a flight pack, so it doesn't end up feeling incomplete at all. The same goes for the Zarov's red shoulder pack, the actual parts aren't that unique, you can achieve the same look with just paint.

>I recall it had some extra weapons but that was all
then it's not the one I'm thinking about
it had extra thrusters and I think a second set of wings
>>
>>23616651
Both Red Shoulder and Not-Dragonar set are unreleashed, they probably canceled it.

Not one to defend GW's bullshit pricing, but you're using a fuckhuge block of resin that weighs like 5 pounds and doesn't even come with arms as your example. A closer example would be comparing a Knight to a HG since they're about the same size and plastic quantity

Has any 3rd party made a copy of bandai's system weapon 3?

Nah, you don't put any wires in the kit itself, just the LEDs.

Snapping the sazabi ver ka. killed all my motivation for my current projects (RE/100 Dijeh and MG Hyaku Shiki). I feel like I need to paint this thing now

Silly Kai, my beloved...
>>
>>23617054
when I paint MGs, I usually paint the innerframe to completion before doing the outer armor so I'm not juggling too many things. I'm also planning to pattern the reds differently so I'm going to try out one of those precut masking tape sets, just to see if they're worth it for future builds. Also grabbed a small resin kit with some parts for that gap under the shoulders. It'll take a bit for them to come in the mail so I'm going to finish customizing the dijeh and paint that in the meantime.
>>
>>23616826
where do you get these?
>>
>>23616849
no it was parts for the Shrek Mainland Skylark
another set of thrusters and wings
>>
>>23617288
they're gundam base exclusives but pop up on p bandai a couple times a year
>>
>>23616826
Do the chinese not do these sort of parts/ extra weapons thingy? Seems like a good opportunity since legit bandai DLCs can cost as much as an Entry Grade kit while being you know, just a bunch of weapons.
>>
>>23617314
Effect Wing made those kind of kits, but they are very selective. They made bootlegs for Sturm Und Drang upgrade set and HWS for Nu/Hi Nu.

should I buy bootleg gogg decals for $2
who is flamingsnow bootlegging here and do they have any actual sample pics?
>>
>>23617332
I've never bought that specific brand, but other 3rd party chink decals I've purchased have worked out fine so far.
>>
>>23617332
they're one of those medium quality ones, shouldn't be that bad
>>
>>23617332
they're ok, print quality isn't the greatest but i found them significantly easier to work with compared to bandai's own decals. for $2 i dont think you're going to find anything else, especially for those specific ms.
>>
>>23616381
>dry transfers
hold them in place with scotch tape or similar and then rub the back of the decal sheet until it transfers completely to the plastic. of course top coating is mandatory or it'll easily rub off
>>
>>23617273
Different anon, but how does one actually go about painting an inner frame? I've hesitated to do mines since I'm scared that the moving joints will rub off the paint at the contact surfaces and leave paint chips falling out of the joints any time you try to re-pose.

>sand down any surface that scrapes another
>mas off any big peg and any peg hole for joints
>depending on the plastic you'll either need to use a multiprimer or a water based paint
that's pretty much the gist of it. It's up to you whether to go metallic or flat color for your joints, or if you're autistic enough to detail it completely with different colors.
>>
What's the one MG I should get

>>23617399
I'm really fond of MG Z'Gok, MG F91 2.0, MG Origin RX-78-2, and any Feddie MG from 08 MS Team.

In my experience, most modern kits have enough clearance to be able to be painted without the joints scraping paint (if you're airbrushing)
