-=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:

After way too long, my little test GM is complete! My first full paint job!

I did a grey base coat then white over top to try and get that sorta edge highlitghing look, but you can't really see because I went overboard with making him look dirty and beat up. Vallejo wash FX goes far. I wanted to try every painting technique I was interested in so he's a weird mix.

Also apparently alcohol reacts with acrylics, even when dried... Learned that the hard way trying to clean up some panel lines, you can see a bald spot on the back of the head. I didn't test on spoons for that because I just didn't think it would?

Not sure what to use for panel lining over acrylics? Cant use alcohol to clean up the pen, and the tamiya enamel liner will wreck arcylic.

My favorite part is the chrome silver behind the visor and for all the little worn edges and dings and scratches.

That Sazabi is a pretty old design by now I think. I would buy a HG.

It's pretty overdone but honestly I think a surprising amount of it looks pretty decent despite how heavy you went. The biggest problems are that you have some inconsistent texturing and a couple areas look like they have fingerprints on them. Also the red and yellow is too pristine overall compared to how mucked up the white is. It feels like a GM II that could have been at the edge of the nuclear blast that took out Jaburo in Zeta.

I think the shield especially could use a lot more dirtying up to match the rest of it. You also should get more of the inner areas, like the insides of the shoulders and the side that touches the torso. Every bit of stark white stands out.

The traditional advice would be to dial back all your weathering by a ton, but I kinda like what's going on here. You should incorporate different colours and be more measured in your applications though.

Alzeus doesn't look as shit as it normally does in your image.

>>23912059
It doesn't have any of the funnel containers on it nor any of the leg jet parts, it's pretty close to the stripped down basic format of it

Starting the shield liger. Thinking of painting this one white. Trying not to do any zoids in the same colors as another.
Also it's insane there's still not an RMZ liger zero.

Huh. I'm starting to see HGUC Nightingale show up for reasonable prices.
Was there a recent reprint?

Link. The whole thing looks pretty.
I don't remember if we got Zi-Artemis as a Metal RD. Feels like a refined version of the Magatsu-Ikaruga from the Knights & Magic novels.
