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.

do you rike the new logo, /gpg/?
>>24072714Doesn't really fit a toy company but it's not the worst thing ever
>>24072714Why? Is this some coded secret society thing like the paedo swirl?
>>24072714must be kanji or something
>>24072714The enshittificstion of Zoids
>>24072714I really don't understand this need to change a logo that's perfectly fine and working.
How do I make a curved cover for these hollow exposed bits? Use wire to create some kind of skeleton then slap epoxy putty? How well do pla plates bend for a tiny section?
>>24072730>>24072734it's supposed to be a stylized way of writing アソビ, but i fail to see how it's related to Takara Tomy
>>24072769I can't even see the アソビwhat the hell were they thinking?
>>24072730How do americans always make these completely unhinged logical leaps.
>>24072767Bending plaplate under some hot water should work just fine. If you have some old marker or other piece of plastic junk of a similar diameter laying around you can cut a section out of that
He's a small guy.
>>24072807It always amuses me each time I watch F91, based purely on its paint job you assume that it was a hero MS that would reveal its true power by transforming. But no, it's just a piece of shit that gets wrecked in its first and only appearance. I love Tomino's sense of humor.
>>24072692Is there any MS which you are baffled it never got a gunpla?
>>24072837Yeah, lots of them. From almost every series, could probably name you 50 from UC if I tried. I will always post this one though.
>>24072692Neat! It's been years since I made the OP! Thanks!>Still got it!
>>24072837None because after HG Bolinak Salmon I know everything will be made eventually.
Ive had a month off from work and havent built anything. i havent built anything in months and have a 50 kits in my backlog. I don't know whats wrong with me
>>24072838It, and the Aries, and the Taurus. Virgo is at the top of my list though, because I absolutely would army build the shit out of them, and pose three of them together with the all range planet defensor shields.
I was wondering why Bandai made this guy so expensive, but it turns out it's because he's basically MG sizedhttps://schizophonic9.com/re10/30mp_enia.html
First non-bandai kit, anyone build stuff from plamatea so i know what did i got myself into?
>>24072692
>>24072854>what did i got myself intoa tight cyborgremember, it all still works down there
>>24072843Motivation is a funny thing, man. In my experience you can't wait for the motivation. You have to force it. You've got to pull a kit out of the fucking backlog, sit your ass down, and for 5-10 minutes grit your teeth through the urge to do something else/nothing. If you get past the barrier of laziness, you WILL enjoy yourself. It's insane, but you will. Try it like this: Do one step. Just the one. Open the box, get the parts out, open the manual and just build step 1. If you don't feel like going on to step 2, don't. But I'm willing to bet you will.
>>24072846I wish I liked this fuckin' thing. It's just so... bleh. It's just barely there. It's like I'm staring at a robot made of vapor.
>>24072846why is this even MP. it could had easily passed as a 30MM kit instead!
>>24072880sameThe Enia on the other hand is pretty cool, though...
>>24072883Because it's not 30mm and bandai does not own it. 30mp is all licensed stuff.
>>24072876This. Even if I don't have any motivation putting it in front of me and doing 1 small step at a time really helps me jump into things.
>>24072843What >>24072876 said, but also remember that you don't have to do *every* technique you know on every kit (besides sanding nubs). You can just do a snap build sometimes, you don't need to do a full paint job on everything, or detail painting.Learn those skills, get good at them, but only use them when you want to put the work into a build.
>>24072914>You can just do a snap build sometimes
>>24072914This is all true. Anyone who says otherwise has terminal autism and doesn't actually build anything.
>>24072843I'm in the same spot. don't have anything better to add that the other anons haven't said. you just have to force yourself to do one small thing in the process and stop. chances are you'll just be like okay, why don't I just do more? and you end up just building the kit.
>>24072917Nah snapshitting only works with gunpla and even then most of them still need paint to look decent. You probably build even less than me lmao
>>24072920I have completed three completely painted builds in the last two weeks. You have some form of crippling autism where you cannot see anything but what you do as valid.
Post your work
>>24072714i don't even get what the new logo is supposed to be?
>>24072931I managed to slay my backlog. There's nothing left.
>>24072767Stuff it full of excess runner clippings, drench with cement, sand flush
>>24072837Bandai are some enormous motherfuckers for blueballing us out of an MG GM III despite it only needing a single new runner or two to exist for the past like 15 years
https://strawpoll.com/GJn44KGdmnzAnd while I'm at it, what do you guys think the best gelgoog kit is?
I think all googs(but the gqux) is ugly.
>>24072692>>24072839What the fuck is that thing on the left
>>24072963The MG 2.0 is probably the best model but the HGUC Gelgoog is actually pretty good despite its age. If I had narrow it down to a single specific release I'd say the HGUC Gelgoog Vertex kit is especially great for coming with lots of weapons and extra parts, PB though so yknow. Personally the Jager's the best Goog for me but the HG kit is about as basic as they get, 0080's plagued by early HGUC releases despite the sexo designs.
>>24072969your left or my right
>>24072977Uhhh my left, Char's right
>>24072969It's a Hi-Mock
>>24072996Hi, mock, you look like a friend
>>24073001The Mock can be whatever you want it to be.
>>24073010My head hurts but this is so wonderfulIt feels like the finale of G Gundam where all the little weirdos we've seen before come and helpExcept it's everyone's custom or utility Himock>a Mandala Himock in the backgroundI'm going fucking insane
>>24073020It's a shame they're kind of a bitch to come by nowadays. A mock groupbuild would be fun.
>>24073024Yeah, I have never seen this thing in my fucking life>it's some dopey training dummy thing from Build FightersOkay>with a cockpit and a "I'll help you get in buddy" setting reminiscent of ScopedogsOk now I can't not get one, my HG Scopedog needs a buddy>don't feel the need for more than one, but the other Scopedogs come with more goodies or improved articulation>Brutishdog is slightly tempting but I really don't want them to fight each other or Fyana to have to fight at allUhhh I got a Choipla Red Shoulder Custom but I still think it's rather lonely...
>>24073043They're the generic enemy suit in Build Fighters and Try. Build Divers uses Leo NPDs as the generic enemy suits, and Re:Rise uses Death Army units. They've all gone through various phases of popularity here.
>>24073114
>>24072945If Bandai puts one out, I promise to give it a beam magnum.
>>24072843I'm tired of gunpla shit, but ever since I discovered some great shows I really got into Moderoid and now I only want to paint/build my kits, but I barely get any free time these days...
>>24073126No one asked attention seeking tranny.
>>24072963>what do you guys think the best gelgoog kit is?MG 2.0 hands downsucks the best versions are locked behind pbandai, though
>>24073130You sound mad at a joke.
>>24073126Not this shit again
Dumb question but why are there so many Christian themed model kits recently? I thought the Chinese government was against this sort of thing.
>>24073114>>24073115We gotta bring them back
>>24073152>Dumb question but why are there so many Christian themed model kits recently? They look cool. >I thought the Chinese government was against this sort of thing.They're against a lot of things.
>>24073152>I thought the Chinese government was against this sort of thing.Most of the time it was just excuse for them to tighten their control on certain subjects or outside influences, otherwise they don't really give a shit, like the so called ban on skull or skeletal images.
Anyone here use the HM109 Hobbymio nipper? Is it worth the price than just spending some more time sanding?!I want to get 1 more backlog than a new nipper desu
>>24073175For that price just get some god hands.
>>24073182Yeah it's way more expensive than Godhand for some reason. Probably because it's stainless steel.
>>24073198That's actually a bad thing if you care about the edge performance. There's good stainless blade steels out there but they're outrageously expensive compared to non-stainless for similar performance.
What was that brand of hobby knife blades that is supposed to be super good again? I need to stock up.
I don't think I'm ready to start painting yet.
>>24073205Yeah you probably should sweep a bit to get hair and stuff out of the way. I've got a dog and a cat and sometimes I find random stray hairs in my paintjobs.
>>24073205Thin the paint more and let it dry for longer.
>>24073205protip: don't cum on the spoon before trying to paint it
>>24073205Thought you painted a little Bob Ross style scene of a snowcapped mountain on there from the thumbnail.
>>24073214>expecting me to just magically intuit obscure fucking knowledge that wasn't in the pastebin or readmeWooooow
>>24073205What are you even trying to do here?
>>24073226most other anons jack off on their figures after painting, not beforedon't think the pastebin needs to tell you that
>>24073205>anon masterfully baits other anons into looking at his cum.
>>24072963The one in my dreams.
>>24073205get a wet palette
