-=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.

>>24043366>new loli sisterThey are doing it, but not in a straight forward way. Instead of releasing a brand new loli sisters they are releasing a new optional bodies for them, even Ebikawa was confused by the order and thought they were asking him to design a new sister.
Meanwhile in the land of Punichads, madmen are snipping and partially melting clear runners to simulate condoms its open packets.
>>24043484That is simultaneously absolutely degenerate, hilarious and brilliant.

bros we've been called out
>>24043490>elitism is when someone calls me out for not cleaning my nubsPandemic and Gbitch tourists are fucking hilarious
>>24043453Wipin an HG RGM79 sniper 2 in the White Dingo scheme with a ProjectVHobby print of the classic beam rifle with the big energy cell backpack.
>>24043490>Mooooom, they called me bad again!I will never truly understand what cause grown up men to behave like preschool kids and run to their "good lady teacher" to scold "bad boys" for their behaviour.
Are there any 3rd party LED unit that's as bright as the official bandai LED unit?
>>24043490why would I compliment some lame ass snapshit that takes no effort. ok, you followed the instructions and built it, congratulations.
>>24043490We have been too mean, womp womp. Mf’s barely put in effort and wants absolute praise, like painting and shit ain’t hard
>>24043503Most people say that 3rd party leds are better than better than Bandai’s so basically whatever bullshit you can get off Amazon or aliexpress
>>24043490It bothers me that there are people who have been in this hobby for years, over a decade even, that still snapbuild without putting even the tiniest effort into posing their robot toys, let alone do additional stuff like panel line, decal, topcoat or painting.Gunpla is freedom? More like Gunpla is low effort.
>>24043490I think part of the problem is that even something benign like "Hey that looks cool, it'd look even better if you bought some sandpaper and cleaned up those nubs" is interpreted as the Grand Wizard of /gpg/ burning a cross on your lawn.
>>24043490"Gunpla is freedom" was supposed to be about creativity, but it's exclusively being used to excuse laziness.
>>24043536No, the problem is that people are trying to show off these builds at something special of praise worthy. I am a snapshitter through and through, I'll post in progress pictures but never the finished product because unless I paint or do something worth praise, there's no point. it's just another snapshit kit. I guess maybe if I want to discuss if a kit is bad I can post the final result but beyond that, there's no reason.
>>24043543Still, there is nothing wrong with posting snapped build. I do that frequently with plastic girls, I simply don't paint every single model I build. Like you said the problem starts when said person expects prise for what is essentially equivalent of cozy casual game. I know a guy, who openly just snap and panel line his kits, nothing wrong with that.
buy Motor Nuclear
Can I apply liquid putty with a brush ? I don't have proper tools for that. I have both tamiya and mr hobby putties, on the former is written that it can be thinned further with leveling thinner
>>24043569yeah but your brush won't like it so... use a cheap synthetic one.
>>24043491It's been 6 years. They are now part of the community whether you like it or not. 6 years is a long time to be 'touring' anything.
>>24043570Good, I have plenty of those. Thanks
>>24043563The next grunt mech from this line also looks pretty neat.
>>24043585This is a grunt?
>>24043586Yes, pretty much any mech that isn't cover itself with spikes are grunt in this series.
>>24043585I really like his silhouette, the low shoulders and head sunken into the chest / high collar is very mean looking
>>24043589That armor design is rather ornate for what it is.
Are there any foolproof gloss coats out there or guaranteed methods to stop orange peel when using gloss? Every time I use one of these topcoats it decides to just fuck me and I can never tell where I went wrong.
>>24043597They are based on Chang armors and they loved putting all those ornate stuff like golden lion or dragon heads all over their armors.
>>24043608The Japanese did too, but that kind of armor was usually reserved for the samurai class, right?
>>24043589>>24043597That one is the Grunt for the Bull King/Red boy. Hence the bull head and ornate flames.
>>24043609Samurai tend to use those as the crest for their helmets, which is more like personal signatures so people can tell who they were just by looking at their helmets.

>>24043696base GundamPros is doing 16% off this weekend, save some shekels and shop there for anything you can
>>24043681Dunno, I welcome actual, constructive criticism. Everyone should. I mean actually constructive, big difference from what we usually get here but I digress
I was planning on doing wsd on friday-saturday, then topcoat on sunday but holy shit applying wsd is exhausting, especially when the decals are so thin that I can't grab it with my tweezers. I might need 2 hours x 5 working days to finish this.
don't forget to gatekeep your local stores tooget in people's facesbe inquisitive
>>24043722THIN YOUR PAINT
>>24043725AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
>>24043696They've had like three sales in the past month, including 20% off in-stock not that long ago.
>>24043722The issue is that constructive criticism doesn't last long. Decent people take it and get better and then the constructive criticism stops.Then you'll get people who post absolute dogshit and spend a week freaking out over someone telling them to thin their paint. They'll regularly do it for years on end and never improve. This makes people treat them like shit because they act like shit.
I don't care about nubs but if you point mine out I'm going to fucking freak.
>>24043452FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!>>24043413Thank you ;_;I JUST want nice-looking friends to swoosh around>>24043416YEAH those ones are good, and blondes are a major weakness of mine too.

>>24043490woah kino snapbuild! *gets 3k updoots*
I think I’ll repaint my SNAA kits they’re aren’t in a color I want, too much white for the knight look
>>24043829I don't know why they're such slaves to the fake gundam aesthetic.
>>24043830Too many 3rd parties are, I understand inspiration, but the Gundam head on the SNAA Tristen and ZZA Regus annoys me. I may get the Galahad or iron sickle kits, found Tristen on a site, gundamaker mixed reviews but I’ll bookmark em.
>>24043490>Tagged "Non-Gunpla Build">Image is of gunpla
>>24043720Dude how did you find that site? And they don’t charge a sales tax, golden shop>>24043732They always have a sale, which makes them one of the biggest in the US for a reason I suppose
This board runs faster than the one at /toy so I wanted to know. I preordered the reprint of Moderoid Shin Getter-1 I wanted to know how is it? And yes, I’ve built other Moderoids before. Since I know that Gundam markers are bad for ABS plastic is it safe to use micron pens?
>>24043768no one will gatekeep the hobby as hard as bandai themselves
>>24043907I have the baby combining oneI know this is not what you orderedBut Moderoid instructions are less intuitive while the plastic feels stronger, so read carefully before you cut or assemble shitPlastic-wise I don't know, I've been using pour-types to panel-line the similar Gunbuster they had>And yes, I’ve built other Moderoids before.I didn't read this, I missed it because I need to take a shit and I'm running late for something, sorry
As a snapshidder i'm still really happy with the small details I ended up hand painting on my Penelope, I haven't built anything else after this, I'm just still really happy with it, gomen
>>24043953You overdid it.
>>24043830Some of the knights are less gundam-esque which is nice, but they just cannot help themselves with the colorschemes. Primarily white, an accent color, and maybe some gold/yellow every time. I might paint the white on Mordred in gloss black whenever he arrives.
>>24043953You underdid it.
>>24043953You did it.
>>24043953You nigger sneeded it.
>>24043453gonna bash the Type C head with the Hazel Gundam; any paintjob ideas?
>>24043973Titans color
>>24043563I did but now I want to get rid of the ones I bought.
>>24043980Send them to me.
>>24043980Same. I want to throw away those Sheik Mainland's AIslop robots. Changs are only useful when they make kits for existing IPs, their OCs are terrible.
>>24043982Sure. Pay for shipping
>>24043979holy fucking shit you npcs i was about to reply "god help me if anyone says titans color" but had to got take a dump cause i ate too much celeriyou fucks don't have a shred of taste in our appleless brains
>>24043986not sure why you're surprised or madyou kinda need to be the opposite to be here
>>24043986poo boy
>>24043983I don't actually mind the Motor Nuclear ones, but I'm thrown off by the difference of the kits within the line. Designwise.
>>24043984Which ones do you have
>>24043991Yeah Chinese kits have a really inconsistent aesthetic. MS general's idea is fantasy mecha musume, but every now and then they make a full blown scifi girl without any sort of mystical theme to it.
>>24043973Inverted pallette with fluorescent paint
>>24043993Cao Ren, Ao Bing, Bai Qi, Ne Zha and Wei Yuan Trainee. The design aesthetic of the trainee doesn't match the rest. they're edgy and sharp pointy shit, and the trainee is this armoured dude all round.>>24043994I might look into that one, the box makes it look interesting. Not sure what the quality is like though.
do you ever pose your Gunpla doing silly stuff, /m/?
>>24043921truke
>>24043979>muh TitansBoring; any other factions' colours (UC and otherwise) that would work?
>>24043973Give it a crash dummy yellow and white, or the early prototype gray and orange. Like those work in progress models
>>24043453I put the MK II' frame together. The proportions seem so weird without the armor.

>>24043490>>24043713I've only panel lined a couple of my gunpla, but those posts are motivating me to tackle the rest of my collection. Maybe by next year I'll even take on top coating.
>>24043490Good, I will continue to be a snob and a gatekeeper
>>24043490I made this post on reddit and screen capped it and then posted it here.
>>24044077I have unironically done this before
>>24043490I would be more forgiving if this nigga didn't pose his kits like a ten year old. Like come the fuck on man how is this acceptable to you
>>24043490There's only no effort snap build, purchase receipt and backlog fortress in gunpla subreddit. No point in going there even as a lurker. I usually just lurk facebook hobbyist forum.
>>24043921How so?
>>24044147That's why there's a spin off subs called advancedgunpla where they actually put in the rules: no snapbuild.
>>24043994Is this any good? I'm always looking for exciting new girlpla.
>>24044191I only bought the naked ass foxgirl. Haven't build it though.
>>24044200When you do, post about it please. I will see your posts.Maybe I'll just get one before that. I love a challenge anyways.

>>24044208cute registeel wait hang on, I might actually get one, paint it silver and dots on the windshield and make it registeel
>>24044120That would mean effort, and he was clearly doing the no-effort challenge. See, he even posted it on reddit.>>24043709Often things like this drill down to how well cured it is. That said review your heat chart.
>>24044208The one on the left is literally just the demi barding
First master grade. Oh my god what a big boy he is. Too big for my little photo box. I'll do decals and top coat this weekend.The hands are great but they cant close up in to a fist to properly grip the beam saber. Am I missing something?Kind of want to get lighting set up for him, maybe one of those funnel light kits toi. Is there a solution to have USB power for LEDs rather than coin cells? Would be cool to have his eyes light up when my PC is turned on and off when its off.
Holy fuck
>>24044227>That flag>That colorschemeFSS is truly the /m/ for our anal sex enjoyers.
>>24044223There's another joint in those hands right where it meets the hand. It's pretty stiff at first so you need to articulate it a few times to get it to work right.Here's a blown up picture of the hand from the manual. When I built something with those hands for the first time I also did not realize that joint was there.
>>24044227Based. Might buy.
>>24044227Flared bros where you at?
>>24044233I totally missed that. Appreciate it, will make the grip on the saber and rifle a lot nicer looking.
>>24044227It's cool but that paintjob would take months for me to do. I'm not willing to put in that work for a 1/144 kit.
I thought Tukirna wasnt in stockyou guys lied to me
>>24044247We do not have the same girlpla scalping problems that japan has. It costs a whole lot more to buy domestically though.
>>24044247Those things go rather fast. Buy one now if you're looking for one or if you're a scalpnigger, then you might make a quick buck.My local bandai store got like eight of those from one of their recent shipments. I got one, and the next week, they're all gone. Strangely enough, it's that one brown sister in a glorified school swimsuit (the one showing off her ass in her artwork) that's been sitting on the shelf there forever. Considering Sestieh's popularity, you'd think another Chocolate sister in a swimsuit no less would go quick, but no, she's just collecting dust there.
>Came to a new hobby store, wonder if I can find some rare kits there.>Saw nothing but pile of idolmaster kits taking up most of the shelf for 30MS.Do Bandai just push these cursed kits to oversea retailers to empty their storage? >>24044252Siana is a shelf warmer even in Japan. She is one of the older kits so her sculpting is pretty subpar. Sestieh's popularity also comes from those optional parts that require her body and she is a very popular kit for kitbashing.
>>24044273The problem with the iM@S stuff is that most of their kits are the Jane Idolmaster kits (i.e. their poster girls) and more often than not, they're not the most popular girls in their specific sub-line. The original main trio is decently popular within their group. But really, they only appeal to oldfags. Million Live (the line Mirai is from) is generally viewed to be the dud of the franchise and even in that group she's of middling popularity. The newer and casual crowd would be more familiar with the Cinderella Girls, Shiny Colors and Gakuen line. But Shiny Colors went full retard by not putting in their most popular girls yet. Cinderella Girls and Gakuen are generally the biggest and most successful iM@S lines and Uzuki and Saki are actually decent picks from as they're one of the more popular poster girls, but there are far more popular/casual bait girls in their respective lines too. iM@S is horribly mismanaged in 30MS when it could've been one of the most brain dead moneymakers. The series has no shortage of amazing outfits and dresses but they chose to put all the girl in the same basic bitch white dress. They should've just put in the actual moneymaker popular girls or at least put in the iconic outfits. The iM@S sailor swimsuit alone would've easily been a perpetual moneymaking machine.
Built AK's Hazel Custom 1.5. Pretty good, very recommended.
>>24044281Main problem with Idolmaster kits in the west is that they are bunch of literallywho. People might recognize original ones just fine but most of them are pretty much same kit with head swapped and brand tax. And how many times you can buy and snap same kit?
>>24044339That's the thing, even if they're a bunch of literallywho to burgers, the franchise is a goddamn cornucopia of fashion, dresses and outfits. Even if they don't know the character, the pretty outfits can more than speak for themselves. Each idol having her own trademark style that really brings out her charms even to the layman, or at the very least, to make them want to steal that outfit for their own creation.And Bandai did the brilliant idea of not tapping into said cornucopia of fashion and giving all of them the same boring copypaste outfit at like 30-40% extra price from your typical 30MS kit.
>>24043490Ah geez, I opened this thread because an upcoming Gundam Assemble event at my LGS has reignited my interest in Gundam-related plastic. They had some 1/144 kits there for cheap that I was wanting to ask and talk about, but then I see this post, and if even r*ddit is pretty tough on people that are just getting started and expect conversations to only be higher level unique digestible content, and the replies here affirm with that, then there isn't really a path forward into the community space for this, huh. Or at least, online.
>>24044357>People got tired of snapping the same kit so bandai came with a brilliant idea of releasing only the heads for some of the idols.>they command the same price as a full 30MS kit for 2 hair parts and 6 faceplates.Some of the idols I liked was only released as head parts and I can't find myself spending that much just for them.
>>24044357>And Bandai did the brilliant idea of not tapping into said cornucopia of fashion and giving all of them the same boring copypaste outfit at like 30-40% extra price from your typical 30MS kit.Oh yeah, that too. I understand that mold engineering is not cheap but still, they could release less models that way and rest as head parts but for that price as >>24044373 points out. Japanese fans probably don't mind but west is different. Friendly Local Store owner said that he try not to get any Idolmaster kits anymore, since they don't sell (I'm little disappointed he don't get optional sets for 30MS kits but I guess they don't sell as much as actual girls, too. Body sets released around Neverlia are almost universally shelfwarmers).
>>24044369I looked it up and the faggot's whining about seeing mean posts on the internet that weren't even directed to him.Just ask questions and discuss the hobby, but don't be a retard about it.
>>24043484Speaking of people having a good ol time with Long, one of the biggest third party mod kit makers for MD finally decided on a China Dress kit for her.I might actually try to snag one of these.
I could go insane if we'll literally get more Core Gundam stuff in 2029, which is like the 10th anniversary of Gundam Build Divers Re:RISE and its spin-off manga. Among the three remaining armors between the Alus and Rize Core Gundams, which one do you like the most?
>>24044398No I love being a retard about it, in fact being retarded is the best, my builds are snapgods not snapshits elitist cunt.WIP is Flame Toys Arcee, needs a full body paint job to match head and gold accents touch ups. Replaced the head cause I like it more than the OG.
>>24043490Air brush dudes can chime in on how time consuming that is, but painting isn’t hard, hand brushing is relaxing, you can paint a kit with shit out of a can. Just put some effort in love in
>>24043700The stores I frequent don’t do many often. I need expand the catalog of stores.
>>24044284Have you built the old Bandai HG? How does it compare? I'm guessing the articulation is better?
>>24044247Why are they all mouth agape?>:O
>>24044427Much better seamline management, majority of polycap joints have been replaced by ABS, improved sculpt and has actual clear parts now. It is less unstable than the Bandai kit but not perfect either. The backpack verniers and trigger finger are abit loose
>>24044443what are you taking about there are two at the top and one at the bottom that aren't
>>24044369Really though, if you say you are new most of the feedback will be not written that aggressively (besides that one autist in this thread). The main thing that is making everyone shit on that guy is he is begging for praise for doing the bare minimum on an easy kit that a 10 year old could build and doesn't want to hear how to get better. Post your things here, if there is something you can't figure out how to do better just ask in the post.
I can’t do 30MS, I am firmly koto pilled and there is little else I can do for it
>>24044532Threw her in a random background and a Alpha Max 1/12 penguin hoodie cutest thing, happy I brought multiple.
>>24043453Finally finished the Stickler Studio GQ Kampfer kit. It was my first resin kit, and it wasn't that bad, but it survives on super glue. I decided to paint it an off white for reasons now unknown to me, and much of my time was spent shading it, which is a new thing for me for gunpla. I lost the main backpack thruster, which I am trying to correct by pillaging old kits. Anyway, if someone ever makes a plastic version of this conversion kit, I will not feel morally conflicted buying it.
>>24044539>it wasn't that bad, but it survives on super glueThat's just how majority of resin kit is.
>>24044539The balls actually work on this design.
>>24044424I suggest looking for stores that aren't completely gunpla focused. More generalized hobby stores run more frequent sales.
>>24044485>he is begging for praise for doing the bare minimum on an easy kitThat is a worrisome reading, thoughst'verbeit. It just seems to be asking for neutrality. Not to be praised, but also to not be actively derided. If this is the inciting comment >>24043713 it also seems to perceive posting your kits as an inherent request for praise or a statement of accomplishment, and so it preemptively refers to them condescendingly.This is certainly a far cry from the miniatures space, where there is a lot of similar assembly/posing/painting/shading/detailing required for a good model, but there isn't the same assumption when someone posts their 28mm cheapo squad that's just slapped in base paints and not even a squirt of wash to be seen, or someone that sprays, speedpaints, then quickdips. Both already speak inherently well for themselves that they're at an amateurish level and likely don't think it's good, or isn't currently in that artistic state of mind and isn't posting for artistic purposes/kudos.
>>24044587>it also seems to perceive posting your kits as an inherent request for praiseWhy else would you post them? They are mass produced toys. You are not the first one to have them, you are not the last, you are not a unique individual with a 1 of 1 item. If the reasoning is that you want to participate in a community, nothing is stopping you from joining into discussions, praising or shitting on people who actually do paint, etc.
>>24044587It's reddit. People exclusively post there for asspats and praise.
>>24044588>Why else would you post them? Cuz you just like talking about them, and posting that you got 'em is a good excuse to>They are mass produced toys. Yeah, but like, they're pretty nifty mass produced toys. People already talk a lot about other mass produced toys that aren't nearly as nifty>You are not the first one to have them, you are not the last, you are not a unique individual with a 1 of 1 itemYeah but everyone already knows that. That don't got nothin to do with nothin, unless you perceive all posts to effectively be a form of content or whatever, and thus they gotta be special to justify themselves in an attention market. Do you not just enjoy talking about things for the sake of it?
>>24044596You could do all of this without making a new thread based on a completely uncustomed build that's covered in nubs.
>>24044603Who said anything about making a new thread?
>>24044606The guy complaining about being told to clean his nubs made a new thread to post the pictures of his model and complain.
There are genuinely people on Reddit that think nubs look good because they look like mechanical detail.
>>24044612I'm not seeing a thread in the catalog, unless it already got pruned. Unless you're calling that r*ddit post a thread, to which that seems kinda iffy since as far as I know, their board structure isn't really comparable, and if it's not some hitherto unseen model show-off thread, then I think that muddies your accusation since the image is being used as part of discussion and calls for neutrality rather than farming for kudos.
>>24044624they don't think that they say it to cope
>>24044625We're talking about the redditor. All they care about is asspats. The site exists just for people to farm for validation. They are not serious people.
>>24044596>Cuz you like talking about themI talk about gunpla all the time, hence why I'm here. Hell I'm talking about them right now! Do you see me posting my snapshit?
>>24044629>Do you see me posting my snapshitI dunno, we're anonymous so I wouldn't know. Have you posted snapbuilds? Would you like to share some images of your snapbuilds? I'd be interested.
>>24044634I'm not interested in posting them for you, because they're just snapbuilds.>so I wouldn't knowYou're incapable of looking at the conversation we're having to see my posts lack images?
>>24044636>I'm not interested in posting them for you, because they're just snapbuildsThat's a shame>You're incapable of looking at the conversation we're having to see my posts lack imagesI assumed you were referring to the thread as a whole. I wasn't sure if you meant like, you were claiming credit for the guy who put together the frame, or the guy who still calls himself a snapshidder despite adding details, or what.Are you alright? You seem to be getting a little heated, or at least curt.
>>24044643>That's a shameWhy? I may as well post images from dalong.>You seem to be getting a little heatedWhat's your problem? You can't have a conversation with someone disagreeing with you without projecting emotions onto them?
you guys are replying to a nigga who just wants to throw words and inserted himself in the discussion without bothering to check what it's aboutlet him yap by himself
>>24044646>Why?You said you talk about Gunpla all the time, so I assumed for you, they wouldn't be shelf toys but instead your WIP models, and so you'd have a personal spin to talk about regarding them>What's your problem? You can't have a conversation with someone disagreeing with you without projecting emotions onto them?Damn, you are getting a bit heated there.

>>24044539Looks nice, always had the question on how much sanding do resin kits require? I know many of them reuse Bandai kits so don’t the makers measure it out and such? Or do they just scale and print the pieces then fuck we ball to consumers?
>>24044667>how much sanding is requiredRequired for what specifically? If a part doesn't fit, you have to sand it until it does. It's not like there's a set amount.
>tired with the Gundam stuff i opened a koto kit instead >It's full of ABSHow am I supposed to paint over abs plastic? I only do minor and small filling in colors using spray lacquer and lacquer thinner is deadly to abs if I have to remove any over spray.
>>24044539fucking sex.
>>24044539You'd think high speed beast like Kampfer would have more thruster bells than that
I think I'm done applying every last little decal the guides recommend. All the little warnings are just too annoying to apply. It takes days to do, and I procrastinate from doing it for too long.
>>24044539Just put some metal thrusters on there.
>>24044723I don't bother with the warnings as they are mostly out of scale even on 1/100s. Those warning messages for thrusters? Those are nearly the size of a human.
>>24044689The kampfer is light weight , so even if it uses the same engine of say a Zaku it would be faster.
>>24043453Started a snap build of the MG Stark Jegan. I didn't realize how much differed from the normal one even outside just altered panels to allow attaching the armor. The whole front of the chest is different. Also I did a better job painting the inside of the visor on this one than the normal Jegan which I'm pretty happy with. It also came with a great sheet of waterslides with unit numbers and markings on it. Kinda want to strip the clear coat off my normal Jegan's shoulder and shield to give him some. Pretty sure I'm too lazy to actually do so.
>>24044760You don't need to strip the clearcut, you can just hit it with a gloss coat > decal > matte coat again on that section. It'll be fine.I've gone back and forth on MG Stark Jegan, I wish they didn't make so many variants of the fucking thing. I know if I buy one they'll magically decide to release an MG Akitaka Stark and I'll explode.
>>24044763Hmm that would be a little easier than stripping. Also after I posted I started wondering why "Stark" and not "Full Armor"
>>24044769Interestingly there's a few variations of the Jegan that add some outright extra armour in the ECOAS boys, plus the Heavy Equipment and Stark types, but no full armour. Who knows? Japs are honestly great at naming shit when they hit the right balance of random English word usage unlike Full Frontal who memed himself but that's funny in its own way,Stark Jegan is badass and demands attention while FA Jegan is tired and worn out and commands no respect. I don't know if they pulled the name from something or what, that's true for tons of shit, but it's a badass name.
>Tankheads are getting kits>It's some of the more boring mechsI hope they come to their senses and make some jethead kits.
>>24044784Like pic related would be so cool as a kit.
>>24044784Basic but I like its looks hope it turns out ok
Vio the rabbit kinda expensive but interesting build, best on a sale tho
>>24044681I painted ABS several times. It is fine, just don't overthin your paint.
my simps gave me 700$ in donations last month, what gunpla should I spend it on
>>24044769>why "Stark" and not "Full Armor"Because Stark Jegan is not that durable or having enough firepower to pull a fuckyounowdie kind of move. It is a Jegan with more beam sabers and moves faster essentially.
>>24044800The new Mechanicore kit.
I liked witch from mercury. Good hg kits
>>24044792why is she black
>>24044830It's just a ta- never mind.
>>24044772Full armor is not a must be used name. When you think about it, TR-1 Hazenthley is quite literally Full Armor Hazel.
>>24044828Cute SDEX!
>>24044792>Smack lips>Come here, white boi~
bought the MG Titus just to do this
>>24044840Straight out of He-man
Chat/gpg/, do I want to buy the RG X-2?
>>24043696Didn't their sales used to always be 20% off?
>>24044850wanna go out for coffee
You guys have any tips for seam welding? I've tried with both normal Tamiya and Extra-Thin (and Mr Cement S which sucks), and it never seems like I can get that perfect "squelch" of plastic that I have to sand away. Most of the time the seam is only partially removed and still uneven. I feel like a dumbass for struggling with something so basic but it never fails to give me trouble.Would it help to sand/cut the pegs a bit so I can push them together a little more tightly? That's all I can think to do.
>>24044960How much cement are you using?
>>24044960Just use Tamiya seam welding putty.
>>24044968Just a good long sweep of the brush I guess, I don't want it pouring out everywhereWhen I try extra-thin I normally put the parts close together first and try to sweep the brush along the sides before pushing together since I know it evaporates quick>>24044974I might, working with putty is always fun
>>24044975Try 2-3 layers of cement on each side.
>>24044869Women don't post here bro.
>>24044998Anon, he's a fag.
Snail Shell enters the girlpla battle field with a line of squad based loli plamo.
>>24045004I'm actually not quite sure if they're lolis or if they just have a pudgy artstyle but they're allegedly 1/12 scale and look midgety.
>>24045004horrifying
>>24045004>>24045007Yeah, I'm not a fan of the pudgy proportions, hard pass for me.
>>24045007If this isn't loli then puni mofu isn't loli
>>24045004I'll buy anon's share don't worry
>>24045004gonna hot glue mine
>>24044786It's not one of the big boi planes, but the new Hemoxian Rusted Brier girlpla line has something along the lines of the Anime Schizo WW2 /m/ look as her main vehicle/mecha companion.
>>24044784This one looks pretty silly.A crab tank is actually pretty cool even if basic.This nigga is literally just a fucking gorilla.>>24045025Not a fan of the actual girl this comes with. But I've seen shots of the big artbook/dossier this kit comes with, and if this really is a brand new line, I might actually get some of the other entries it'll inevitably get.
>>24045026The girl has really goof faces and not in a good way, they obviously tried to copy Tanya facial expressions but it didn't work well.
>>24045038The KUH-RAY-ZEE expressions look goofy as hell, but her more subdued expressions look just fine. It's her hair I'm not too fond off. The ruffled short hair and cotton candy blue just isn't doing it for me. If the artbook is any indication though, the other girls would be more my jam. They specifically mentioned this is a brand new line of theirs rather than just a one off deal, so other girls are inevitable. Hopefully that one comes with the four-legged Kettenkrad Tank thing from the artbook.
>>24045004unless they are boys, I dont care
This is actually pretty brilliant.30MS has no cute and poofy flowing dresses you say?Just steal the aura farming cloak from 30MM and stitch a bunch of them together.
>>24045057I don't get people who play dress up with 30mm like a little girl playing with barbie dolls.we're BUILDERS. we make models of WAR MACHINES.
>>24045060Could you post an example?
>>24045061>>24043490
>>24045060Got a buddy who works on planes in the military. And I work on cars for a living. We both have girlpla shelves in our homes. I can proudly say that we literally built more actual conventionally manly shit than some insecure chucklefucks who only swear upon gunpla and recoil at girlpla.
>>24044998There's at least 2 women, a femboy and a tranny (you)
>>24045060I'm scared of the possibility that you're not just doing a bit and typed this shit out 100% unironically.
>>24045068I'd settle for the femboy by this point.
>>24045053Bro, your epoxy putty??
>>24045053There's a notable user here who's actually very experienced with making girlpla into trappla. He might pop up if you're sincere about it.
Barbie plamo when?
