-=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:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobilephotoresizer

== STOLEN GROUPBUILD ==

Build a Mecha or vehicle built by one faction, but change its aesthetics and style to its rival faction! Examples include but are not limited to
>Canon examples of mechs being stolen and used by another group (ie: Casval's Gundam, Feddie Zakus, Ashura Mazinger, etc)
>Designs intended for one faction that were repurposed into a design for another faction (ie: Gerbera Tetra)
>What-if scenarios (ie: A Titans color Zeta Gundam)
>Stylistic interpretation (ie: What would a EFF version of the Z'gok look like?)
When it comes to your build, really make it clear that your mecha is being used by the other side!

Loitering around after seeing a Samurai Troopers 30MF Yamato review, I've been thinking, what if the 30MF Shion figure will also come with an alternate Ryusei head and shoulder parts? Considering how long they developed these figures and Shion already entering final production stage, adding a few extras because Shion and Ryusei had equal time as Samurai Troopers (12 episodes each per user for extremely convoluted reasons) might be a special bonus. Just hope they actually make the original Samurai Troopers next year.

Haven't had a lot of time lately but I've gotten some (mostly invisible in this picture) work done on the torso connection and shoring up the fit of things. Still a bit unhappy with how its dong is hanging, need to tuck it in a bit. The stomach now interlocks over the back binder assembly and has three support columns so it's all pretty well secured while still coming apart easily. Not much waist rotation anymore but who needs that for this sorta monstrosity, still has a little in the chest anyway.

Also I thought gatlings on the shoulders might be pretty cool. I've got some other ones I'll try out this weekend and see what I like.

Also just for fun. Don't think I'm going to give it this gun though it's definitely suitably sized to use it. Thinking about it plugging into the chest Doven Wolf style would be pretty rad, or plugging into the shoulder, but I've got another gun idea in mind and been tossing around something else to use this for sometime so prolly not.
