==MELEE GROUPBUILD==

Build/paint a robot with a loadout focused on melee combat! Anything from shields to swords to lances to axes to bare fists is fair game. There's no room for ranged weaponry here, however, so anything resembling a rifle, rocket launcher, cannon, pistol, or any other ranged weapon is a no-go (Small ranged weapons that are built into the kit itself like head vulcans are ok, however).

More clarification here:
>If the body part has a built-in ranged weapon (head/chest vulcans, claw beams, etc), then that's fine. If it's a separate part like the Alex's arm vulcans it's best to leave those off.
>Melee weapons with in-universe ranged capabilities (Like the Kimaris's lance or the Gyan's shield) are fair game too.
>Any scale, any brand, and any type of kit is fair game here. That means anything from Gundams to girlpla to miniatures are all free to use.

Send your entries to gunplaplamo@gmail.com with at least 5 photos of your finished build along with any WIP photos and a description of your entry.

Slowly but surely I'm working on these Gaogaigar waterslides. I'm so glad I bought one of those moisturiser boxes it's making the process so much easier.

Just got an airbrush, thinking I might try to just matte coat some stuff to get the hang of it before doing a whole painting project.
How easy is it to repaint topcoated plastic later on?

>>11303980
You just strip it, give it a wash and repaint it, easy.

>>11303981
So you do need to strip matte clear, can't just drop new lacquers on top of it?

>>11303982
No, you don't need to strip matte clear from the bare plastic. It will act as clear primer, if anything it will be helpful.

Space Portanova (No Space Parts, Heavy Weapons Pack)

I like these colors

I really like the super simplistic stand that comes with the bootleg JMS GM Spartan
I wish I could just buy like 20 of them in bulk

correction: the XFS one. not JMS.

>XFS GM Spartan "DIY+" version
>Extra weapons
>Extra parts

I already have the XFS green one
The JMS midnight one
The JMS desert-tan one that I haggled with chang for extra weapons runners
Will I buy this one too? Is this how I enter armybuilding? maybe

30 minutes soaked in a jar with rubbing alcohol and a little scrubbing. Option 2 is paint a few plastic spoons/forks for some experience. Mostly focus on learning to clean the airbrush and dial the distance and air flow, if you got a trigger stop on your brush, use it. Go for thin but even looking wet coats.

any tips for dusting off my gunpla? I have a duster but it doesn't really work without ripping parts off.

>>11304082
you can just submerge it in water and let it dry off
it's plastic, it will be fine

JMS
Where's my G-Line, JMS? You promised me a G-Line kit, JMS.

get a nail dust brush or makeup brush, they're about the right size for dusting off gunpla
pic was $2

>>11304070
Get the Effect Wings version if you want extra accessories. They also made it in GM Sniper II and GM Quel colors.

>>11303979
Are his hands ok, periodically some people break the hands while other people insist that only happens if you hamhand, and I am so afraid to get this kit

>>11304082
Instead of wasting time constantly dusting things off you should prevent the dust from accumulating on your shit in the first place.
Get a display cabinet with glass doors.
