-=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.

>>23630706slow going but I'll try finish assembling on the weekend
>>23630706almost done, just need to do some paneling and some touch ups. sorry for the weird pic it's a bit jumbled rn.
What's the best Scopedog kit in your opinion?
2026 Bootleg release
I'm a simple man, I just want HGUC GM Sniper II and Mass Production Guncannon to get a reprint.
>>23630706Slowly but surely, I will finish painting this. I'm aiming to paint the arms tomorrow. Then it's off to painting the torso and feet with darker grey.
>>23630815Not saying this to shit on you/crab bucket (Lord knows I don't deserve to, I haven't had time for plamo in about three months and have two unfinished projects gathering dust at the moment) but considering your dedication to a good quality finish, those leg seams are sticking out like a sore thumb. Are you planning to minimise them with pose, or is the front seam better managed? Or are you planning to just consider the seam part of the "real" assembly? Solid work otherwise, I look forward to seeing it finished.
I clicked some japanese gunpla posts and now my feed is full of japanese seething about bootlegs
>>23630798aiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee
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).
>>23630825I swear, I will look up on how to use hobby cement/ putty at some point. For now I just want to learn how to paint properly. Don't wanna bite off more than I can chew and try to pick up on too many different stuff at a go.
>That will be $600 + tip.Seeing it flop because it cant hold its weight made me cringe.
>>23630867Every perfect grade with anything on the back does this
>>23630868Don't all PGs have things on the back ? PGU has a small backpack. Zakus have small backpacks. Uh, Freedom Gundam is a PG maybe?
>>23630870Perfect strike and strike freedom are pretty good examples. Very rear heavy.
>>23630806I did this to my hg deathscythe a few years ago and it made some "people" here seethe and froth at the mouth with rage
>>23630867fucking garbage kit
Is the third party HG Barbatos frames compatible with the other HG IBO Gundams? I'm thinking of getting one for an Astaroth Rinascimento I just ordered.
>>23630867COOL STORY BRONOW CHECK MINE FROM UNCLE CHANGhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PUx_haqjCM
>>23630875Yeah I wasn't positive about those two.
>>23630883Such is the problem of striker packs not actually producing thrust like they do in the show.
>>23630882>chang now mogs Bandai even in the video presentationsIt's over. Bandai needs to step up or step out.
>>23630882Like everything they do, it's fake.
>>23630881Specifically this resin 3D printed one. The metal frames seem a bit pricy.
>>23630882>BUT THE BOOTLEGNo one gives a fuck holy shit.
>>23630875>Very rear heavy.I guess you can say, I like my gunpla just like my women.
>>23630868It didn't even the fin funnels on.
>>23630893Scared, gweiro?
>>23630898I don't even think about you at all.
