-=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.

I built them both when they were brand new kits. The Nu is 'ok' but it looks kind of retarded with the giant head and shoulders. The sazabi I hated, I even ordered some resin b-club option parts for it (long beam rifle, hands, etc.). I got a great finish on the paint job (chrome undercoat and transparent deep red) and while I was satisfied with the paint job the proportions were just awful. I wasn't sad when it got crushed in a move. Lots of folks really liked the sazabi I built it won a couple contests and people stole the pics to use as submissions and on their websites which were terrible quality at the time which I found funny. Pic rel, I don't know what all that shit is they put under it. But I still think the HGUC is still the best representation of the sazabi.
>>
>>23726968
HGUC and MG are between reprints (one was a couple of years ago and I think the other was a bit longer than that) and while the mech is quite divisive, the people who like it REALLY like it. This means it tends to sell out very quickly when reprinted (because ravenous fans) but not be reprinted often (because lacking broad appeal). Some random mechs have the same problem (MP Guncannon comes to mind) but GP02 is probably one of the most notable ones.

Try fleshtone, then blackwash. You know, the whole stocking fit.

Different topic, how do you think will they release both the Gundam X and X Divider in the Real Grade line? Will they make the base GX be retail and sell the Divider parts as P-Bandai, or pack both versions in a single box? Yeah, right, like they ever make a single package for lead Gundams with two variations in any 1/144 scale...

Honestly the sudden spike came last year when chang began to:
- Release mechas Bandai will never touch even with a ten-foot pole like the pseudo MG Stagazer, this FA Hyakushiki, the MG Osiris Kshatriya (which was by far the best release of 2025, no contest whatsoever)
- Include plenty of goodies and extras in those releases that Bandai would sell you separately or would not even bother to make (LEDs for the heads, waterslide decals).
- Make almost all parts of the kits undergated (admittedly, this varies among manufacturers, but it seems the norm is that at least the armor parts are undergated).
- The kits are cheaper compared to Bandai's (licenses do really make up like half the bulk of the price and burgers in particular may be fucked due to tariff man).
- They are released quite fast from their announcement, just a few months or even weeks in most cases. Bandai can spend years without announcing anything new for certain lines.

Simply put, there is a demand that Bandai has outright ignored for years and is quite a niche that chinkpla is filling. Morons like >>23727271 can't simply understand basic market concepts.

Now, are all releases good? Probably not and that is where your taste and research comes into play, try to discern what you want and what your best option is. Curent example are like the 6 or so Barbatos Gundam various 3rd parties are making/have already released. Not my cup of tea but anyone who likes it is probably having a hard time deciding which is his best option.

More like bandai just took the exterior design of the suit and just poured greeble into it like a mold and called it an "inner frame". Nothing looks like it serves a purpose, it's basically just the armor inside out.
>>
>>23727504
The PGUs frame is a bit floppy, but it makes sense-ish as the RX-78 doesn't have a movable frame and was semi monocoque and not armor on frame like Zeta suits.

The original would only ever work as a fixed pose resin model

Bandai thought the same thing about ATs and made them strangely tall for their old 1/20 releases. Turned out these guys can move just fine without getting longer. It is just some gay aesthetic that mecha designers nowadays trying to push, everything must have thin feminine waist, everything must have ultra long legs.

they can but just wont. its basically MG Hyaku Shiki Kai with armor parts put on. its not some magical or mystical shit that cant be copied, half of the work is already done

the chink kit already proves the MG Hyaku Shiki FA can be done, since it uses a modified MG Hyaku Shiki Kai as a base, its just that the chinks chose to greeble the armor parts instead of following the line art
>>
>>23727780
I don't think they can actually. Compare the PGU Nu to the Osiris Dominator. It's clear Chang is better at this model kit thing than Bandai these days.
>>
>>23727766
ATs are very simple designs. The ultra bulky FA Hyaku Shiki if adapted 1:1 from the lineart wouldn't even be able to rotate its waist.
>>
>>23727782
Even your average Kotobukiya kit can handle asymetrical designs and weight much better. And this is not some sort of egineering issue from Bandai, the problem is the material. KPS is not that good to be joints, they wear out super fast and always struggle to handle something 1gram heavier.

I can get where you are coming from, but I think that some of it is just how plugged in we all are nowadays. Time was that we would see model announcements in a monthly magazine or maybe just when they showed up at our local store, now every couple of days there seems to be an online announcement, every other weekend there is some trade show or another. I do materially agree with your sentiment and aren't chasing some shit flinging contest, but I do feel like I became a little more calm about Bandai's release schedule when I started treating it how I treat Koto and scale model manufacturers and checked in once every month or so.

And any tips on how to avoid this? Sometimes I really can't poke away properly with the hobby knife and it hurts me a ton when some corners end fuckey like that, blade is in place, but it keeps sliding off or cutting everything but the leftovers I need to remove, is it an experience issue or what?

When using a knife make sure you're not trying to slice off a nub all at once, go gradually. Never cut towards yourself. You can guide the blade of the knife with your other thumb and give it more force to work with but make sure you don't overshave doing this

Small parts are super annoying because they're too small to sand without your fingers covering them up so you can use something like this to keep em steady. Also if you're lazy try pinching the part between your fingernails while you file.

Maybe you should just switch to sandpaper when it gets to the final steps of nub cleanup. Also you can try a chisel-like knife like picrel. You can fuck up with it too but it's easier to follow the surface of the piece with the flat side providing support.

they're mostly near MSRP, though it might get slightly more expensive if you're sourcing them outside Divisoria (the place where the chinkshit are being dumped straight from the port. Bandai stuff here are marked 150-200% from original MSRP because of the sole distributor controlling the price.

unironically, pbandai clear colors are actually cheaper than retail release of the same kit here in pagpagland.

the MGEX Strike Freedom retail is 200 USD while the PBandai clear or any other variants of the MGEX Strike Freedom in the online shop is 145 US

only thing i hate about clear kits is that they're a nightmare to work with. they shatter nipper blades and they're harder to separate than regular plastic.

I just bought this deburring tool to scrape away mold lines, and it's great. It's corner edge stays sharp enough to shave away plastic, but won't cut skin. Best of all, it's the best tool I've used to bore out a circle in plastic from a drilled hole.

I checked multiple side stories hoping to gleam some obscure kit. But it looks like all they fielded were GM IIIs and basic Jegans with more advanced variants only showing up during unicorn era.
Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, I only checked the wiki after all, maybe there were some featured in games or magazines?

Just make sure you have the right tools for the job: a decent pair of nippers (godhand spn-120 or dspiae st-a 3.0 if you want cheaper ones), a glass file (gunprimer raser is fine), and 600/800/1000/1500 grit sandpaper or sanding sticks.
>>
Is the Gunprimer Raser/glass file an upgrade over Stedi ones?
>>
>>23729392
From a quick google apparently the stedi ones don't have the rounded edges that the gunprimer rasers do that prevent filing off more or gouging at the corners. I don't have a stedi so I can't tell for sure though. I also like the gunprimer grey balancer to get plastic parts back to matte after filing/sanding, but it can allegedly be replaced with a magic eraser or 2/4 way nail buffer.
>>
>>23729399
>>23729392
I have the stedi ones. They have hard edges and clog easily. The raser is way better. Avoid the stedi ones.
>>

>>23729207
You got two kits that are almost identical. I made this mistake when I was new to the hobby when I got all the master grade wing kits. Building them was actually quite exhausting by the time I got to the third one since they all share so many parts.
>>
>>23729387
>>23729440
already did lol,
though i went with the st-c2 instead of the st-a which i might regret but i feel like the raser is gonna clean it up nice either way
i also got the gm02 for panel lining, a tamiya hobby knife and an a3 cutting mat
>>23729447
yeah, i thought the set would be verry cool but im kinda realizing that
maybe i'll get one of the armored core kits to do in between if i get bored after doing the second one
>>
>>23729413
Hmm might upgrade then it's annoying to need tape sitting around to clean it as often as I do, and hearing it prevents the gouges is something I didn't know about previously.
Balancer is just the glass file type with the circles vs the lines right?
>>
>>23729452
I've got both ST-A 3's and Godhands and use the ST-A's for cutting parts out of runners and godhands for cleaning up nubs. While there is a difference in how clean they cut, imo it's minimal and I still have to use a raser or sanding sticks depending on material or part shape to clean the remainder anyways.
>>
>>23729460
nta but the balancer is the sponge thing they sell
i just got the kit they sell with the file, balancer and some polishing cloth

I'd say pretty high, we got the Xi and Penelope from the first movie, of course we are going to get more shit with the second entry

Nothing really. I just use primers because they're flat and cheaper than paint for the most part. You can also preshade with colors if you like. I've preshaded orange with red and gotten some interesting results.

I feel sorry for the engineer that has to make that into a hg

>>23729967
Why do you think they were added to the plot if not to sell toys?
>>
>>23729983

Coes isopropyl still works on a 2-year old painted backlog? I want to remove the paints altogether and preserve the original color. Can't find the same paints I used before anymore. The kit was RG Sword Impulse.

Can someone help me identify a kit? I saw it at hobby lobby while with family and wanted to look it up when I got home but forgot the name of the kit. Ibremember the head was green with a purple visor and looked like this. And no it was not a zaku. I think the box art showed 3 of them in the background.

It seems to be a full-armor and HWS version of the mp-nu, respectively
I guess that's something to look forward to

Striker GN-X?

thanks doc

>>23730027
Just paint it again? With how long it was I doubt the plastic won't crack after stripping.
>>
>>23730079
It pisses me off to say no since that looks like it but the box art is wrong. I'll just go through Gundam planet and see if they ever stocked it to find it.

I've completely stripped painted kits using Simple Green. Purple Power should work as well, and no real reason IPA shouldn't work. Just be prepared to say goodbye to any decals or stickers.

>>23730060
If it was a Gundam kit, it might have been from WfM, check this page to see if it was any of these.

It's not even a gundam kit. Something from an anime called AMAIM and was a aaronrhino. Guess the blue one on the box art was the purple eyes and I got confused. Thanks anyways anon.

How much of a woundwort can you build with the hazenthley 2 rah and all its spare parts?
>>
>>23730201
Most of the head except the eye/chin, the whole torso + arms, the entire waist and most of the legs except the feet
>>
>>23729967
Amazing how every part that isn't a Nu is unrecognizable greeble.
>>
kind of a weird choice for a model kit but I'll take it
>>

Unfortunately, you lied. The torso could not be put together, and I stopped there.

Maybe it's a tribute to her VA.

Thinking of doing a custom Mafty-themed paintjob/kitbash of a Jegan, like if a Feddie pilot joined Mafty after getting space ICE'd. Any ideas?
