-=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.

Post what you're working on!
>>24027957Could I use a Digimon kit for this? I have an idea that would otherwise fit the theme.
how the fuck does Noir still not have a modern HG kit? Like, at this rate they'll be better off making it in EG or just a wholly new mold rather than the HGCE Strike because even that is a decade old at this point and Seed kits have a different standard of quality now
>>24027983I'm more surprised that they haven't done MGs for noir blu and verde. The MG strike noir is ok but it still should have gotten an RM like the strike and strike rouge using the GAT-X frame
>>24027983Probably because it's got a decent quality MG and Stargazer was never the biggest property of SEED (definitely the best for my money but whatevs) and its lead units have always been kinda second rung popularity for SEED stuff compared to Freedom/Red Frame/etc. Strike Noir's biggest problem is that it can't actually reuse a bunch of normal Strike parts since there are enough differences everywhere it basically just has to be its own kit that won't get used for (almost) anything elseIt has plenty of other offerings anyway but chances are we're going to see another wave of SEED releases to tie in with the movie, who knows, Noir could get an HGCE with that.
>can nab the HG Super Gundam and finally give my Mk-II the G-Defenser>feels like I overhyped the kit and it's going to be a disappointment no matter whatHype it up for me bros, I fear it's over...
>both All Japan Hobby Show and Chinese Wonfes will take place at October 3rd>Bandai will announce their new line at the latter as wellWe're eating good next week.
Tangentially related to plamo itself but the pbandai site is genuinely awful now. Error 500 on everything including the add to cart button.
>>24027926Does it come with anything other than what was advertised? Because the price on those seem a tad too high for what you get.
>>24027964There was that part in Seekers where they stole a Mugendramon from not!North Korea so I don't see why not.
>>24027957Stolen indeed lol. Updated with edge weathering and water slides.
>>24027957My first from the Desert Storm/Shield Project V line. An RX-78GP03S in F-14 paint. Was going for the Jolly Rodgers scheme; but was still new and sucked ass at the time.
>>24028065They listed what's in the box. This set is meant for their Keehar bootleg since the Bandai one is pretty rare.
>>24028028XmX is gonna revitalize gunpla and by extension plamo
>>24027959I was planning on doing a lot of extra scribing and pla plating on this before snapping. I think just paint and decals are fine now
>>24027959Axis is falling? Aerial second line defense force assemble! We'll push it back in the air!

Is 4chan slow today?
>>24028135The other boards are fine, it's just /m/ has always been slow and /gpg/ especially comes to a crawl when there's no announcements or shitposting going on
>>24028028That's my birthday weekend too so I'm really crossing my fingers for something cool to be announced like a model of the MSA-120 or Queen Mantha or something
Undusted my Lightcannon and painted some parts. The red parts are painted too but it makes no differences i guess.
>>24028138I think it's more accurate to say /m/ is dead rather than slow.
>>24028143Me on the right
>>24028153damn what happened in 2009? Unicorn?
>>24028065What you see is what you get. The reason it's kinda expensive is because of how big it is/how many parts it has. Mine also came with a folding rifle but it has separate instructions so it clearly wasnt meant to
>>24028171Me on the right
>>24027955why does everyone hold up their toys in pictures now I dont wanna see your fucking hands you freaks
>>24028175Hands are fucking sexy, what are you on about?
Snapshit level: over 9000
>>24028193Can't believe Chang is stealing bandai ideas again!
Damn, this statue was becoming Maschinen Krieger from the inside.
>>24028138>The other boards are fine,lollmao
>>24028175Lighting was ass in my office so I took it out for a sunlight photo :( meanie
>>24028175Every time I post my hands there's a guy who lets me know they're beautiful.
>>24028161I think the life size Gundam statue was first revealed back then
>>24028161UCGO private server with the Char's RejectsreEva 2.0Gurren Lagann movieUnicorn OVA wasn't until 2010
>>24028279The first trailer dropped in 2009 and there was a LOT of hype around it. Makes sense considering it was the first UC entry in almost 20 years.
>>24028282>Igloo and Evolve don't count for my made up reasons
Normal Icarus ends up ridiculously fat if you shove Byarlant arms on it, but a Hyzenthlay Icarus on the otherhand...
>>24028304IGLOO is in the same category as RFV. Ask anyone here and see how many people count as an official UC anime or it is just a weird CGI mini series for boomers who are into tanks.
>>24028349Igloo was cool and it is an official UC production, it's 3D though so it's rarely called anime but who cares. It's as official as Unicorn. Also I personally like it more than Unicorn which makes it even more canoner because all that matters is what I care about.
>>24028349>see how many people count as an official UC animeI dohildolfr and ze'gok are based as hellmost people would count it as official just based on the zudah eps alone
>>24028349>it is just a weird CGI mini series for zeekfags to get their jollies offfixed
Babe, MGK put out another clickbait title video that's going to piss people off and cause Zack to seethe again!Come get your slop while it's hot!
>>24028395This guy quits gunpla a lot doesn't he
>>24028395looking forward to the kino painted build by Plamor's champion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h9YXbQq4UcI didn't pay any attention to the gunpla stuff, only to Akase AkariAkase Akari > gunpla
>>24028395Why does he bully and belittle ZakuAurelius so much?
https://x.com/alphamax_figure/status/2103002556498932092New Dark Advent girl.This time, the theme is Cows and Alien Abductions.Looking forward to how degenerate the DX version will get.
>>24028504Ehhh... The colors aren't doing it for me. I think it needs more Brown and gold for the girl, and the mechanical parts need more of a pulp sci-fi silver to them. I get that the teal is kind of invoking alien science, but it's not my cup o' tea.
>>24028504finally, I feel like this was first shown off like two years ago
>>24028504If the DX version doesn't have any jokes or lewd parts involving anal probing, I will be very disappointed.
>>24028465The snapshitter is always jealous of the paintgod.
>>24028504Gonna paint her a green plugsuit so she can be my mecha musume Kshatriya. She already has one eye covered to resemble the monoeye zeek suits anyway.
>>24028504Kinda funny how this line went from fantasy stuff and then bam, motherfuckin' roswell conspiracy schizo shit.>>24028543Same hairstyle as Marida too so you can do the whole "girl pilot cosplaying their mech as mecha musume" thing which I'm surprised isn't more common.
Shall I get a Moderoid Black Ox or simply lie down
>>24028573Buy it. I want one but cant afford it. Let me live vicariously through you.
>>24028555>Same hairstyle as Marida too so you can do the whole "girl pilot cosplaying their mech as mecha musume"yeah lemme see a Marida-Kshatriya model with a big fat alien dick
New S-Body Type Puni Mofu: "Rin". This time, she's Qilin themed.I like lolis as much as the next guy, but can't say I'm a fan of her and the recently released "Long". I don't mind lolis with lewd clothing, but I want her to at least wear stuff that can be called clothing rather than just pieces of cloth that cover her naughty bits. I don't really like her and Long's pretty much topless but a long neck ribbon is covering her nipples design.
>>24028596I get that Blade is a kinky kind of designer that likes his nearly naked form-fitting girls. But I do want a MD line with a loli wearing poofy mecha dresses. Hell, fuckin' give her nipple pasties, a thong or fishnet stockings underneath all that if you want to be freaky. Shit, I'd love that too. But first band foremost, I want a bulky battle dress kind of form.
Puni Mofu is barely two years old and gets a bajillion new entries, each with their own recolor while other MD lines twice its age or older struggle to get four entries much less recolors.
>>24028603I'm still waiting for Soldier 2.0...
>>24028603They're also the MD line that's getting lots of conventional figs made of them. Kinda beats the point of being a Plamo line if you ask me, but props for the out of the box design to be good enough to make people want static figures of them I guess.
>>24028504
I want to punch the bastard that came up with this waist to hip joint structure for 30ms kits.
>>24028349Igloo 1 I can forgive but Igloo 2 was weird af with the over the top uncanny CGI facial expressions, the Newtype ghost demon, and the scene at the start with the HLV that seems to be packing a landing device you'd find in a UFO.
>>24028614Cool, but I'm still sad we haven't got proper futa yet.
>>24028603Koto just follows the money trail. They have lolifags by the balls. Maybe if other Girlpla makers get into the competition of making dedicated lolis/petite girlpla lines. Until then, enjoy your Puni Mofu domination.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcrsp2VLVjIChang dropped another big girlpla release but I feel like that mecha gargoyle takes up 2/3 of the kit runners.
>>24028624Chitocerium beat them by several years but they canceled the nude body kit and made it very difficult to swap parts. There was also that Guard Spider and 72 demon kit that were all bespoke construction. Koto lolis will always win because you can instantly attach aftermarket boobs and nude parts with no modifications. They had competition but nobody even gets close to Koto.
Tip from a retard that didn't consider it deeply enough. The paint on the gold painted runners of the Golden Warrior is some kind of acrylic that doesn't play well with Gundam pour type markers, when it comes time to panel lining. It'll strip off the gold when you clean up your lines. Stick to Tamiya accent, that won't fuck up the paint.
>>24028622The Egypt-themed one lets you attach the penis to the girl too.
They stole my flesh... give it back...
>>24028614>sex machine referencedBased nipponese Quinton Tarantino fans?>>24028636When will changs make a recast? I can't find this shit anywhere and I want like 6 kits of this for fun project.
>>24028636innerframe.jpg
>>24028639I wonder though, modern day Changs are a bit more progressive but some still hold onto old tradition/superstitions where any sort of skull/skeletal imagery is prohibited and seen as very bad luck, often skull stuff gets censored heavily in China too. I also bring this up cause I built some changpla kinos recently and noticed their runners excluded the numbers 4 and 14, which is also seen as bad luck.
>>24028614the DX parts contains naked boobs part and the constraining boob milking machine.I hate it.I hate these Dark Advent kits. the normal version is 30 bucks and the DX version shoots the price to 100 usd. its like paying 70 usd for boob parts tax.their fans complained so they release RX versions, but the girls are even more covered up. its shit
>>24028643I don't know if there are any big difference between a literally skull but you still see somewhat stylized skull and skeletal design in chink media alot.
>>24028636>mechagaikotsu
>>24028625Where do you guys order Chang's kits? AliExpress seems to be getting waaaay overpriced for chinkpla
>>24028643>often skull stuff gets censored heavily in China tooThat's just an excuse chang said to fuck with western releases. Their own media has no problem with skulls. Even anime skulls made it through just fine.
>>24028153Why does this keep happening.It's not [board] that's dead, it's 4chan. Every board has declined in post number by AT LEAST half during the 2020s, some boards are at like a 1/10th of what they were
>>240286554chan isn't cool anymore, the younger generations aren't coming here and the older posters have either died, or moved on to elsewhere.
>>24028656>the older posters have either diedLol. Lmao even.
>>24027959Built the shoulder containers tonight. They're fucking huge. Makes me wanna build a Queenly
>>24028655To put it simple, 4chan is nolonger the center of humor and sincerity anymore. You see more unfun contrarian from Reddit, the output rate of new 4chan memes is effectively dead, gimmick humoroud threads cannot exist anymore because retards will just barge in to ruin the fun and the current political tribalism drove a large portion of users away too. What's the point of staying if you will just get ridiculed for posting like a 4channer? It is unproductive to stay, even.
>>24028677On the contrary, I personally know some oldfags that eventually did come back here just to indulge in whatever niche interest they have. Myself included. You're here forever isn't a meme.That said, 4chans has certainly lost its gleam as the internet shitposting central. All newfags and kids these days just hang out on twitter, discord or whatever newfangled social media hellhole is the cool thing for their dopamine rush. The only people on 4chan these days are oldfags that got fed up with the current fast paced and oversaturated internet and thus crawled back to their origins, the few odd newfag autists that actually like some semblance of anonymity (and they often don't last too long or hang out too much since other places fulfill their dopamine/attention addiction needs far better) and lastly, bots and the FBI.
>>24028674THICC AS FUCK.
