***READ THE GUIDE***

For those new to gunpla/plamo or even just new to this thread; please read the guide. Please read it before asking questions as there is a chance it has already been answered there.
For those unfamiliar, "plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model". If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.
If you're new, you're gonna fuck up. Don't worry! If you're experienced, dont make the new people worry!
>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Try being specific, especially about your materials and process. Post pictures whenever possible; even if the kit/part looks bad, you are more likely to get help posting pictures.

Alright, gonna pull the trigger on:
Hazel Advanced
Nemo (Zeta colors)
GM Sniper II
GM Striker

Still don't know what I should use as a villain suit.
Would a Bawoo be too OP? I think we established that a Döven Wolf is too stronk, and I know the Bawoo is up there.

Got an idea for a diorama, but I'd like it to make some sense.

Decided to bite the bullet and get a couple Commander Jahannams (one to straight build, and one for a custom project, probably using a crossbone backpack) since they were only four bucks each on HLJ's clearance. Is it an alright kit? The design looks cool but I never built any G Reco kits yet.

as a owner of three for kit bash, kit bash and normal reasons I can say its gonna be alot of work. the caridigan gm or however its spelled leg thrusters are two big. The legs are longer on purpose not just to be katokied. The heads shape is elongated compared to the gm type c and also a different shape.

Not trying to knock you building skills at all Im just giving a heads up as finding shots from all angles and stuff alone is going to be hard.

As much as I'd like to say, "Just block me if you don't like it" I wont that's a toxic mentality and I like the general. Call me a sentimental fucktard for all I care.

So which has less issues between the MG Qan[T] and MG 00 Raiser? From what I'm seeing both seem to have issues with pieces sometimes falling off, and the Qan[T] has that heavy lean with the shield on. Kind of like both suits but trying to get the one that has the less issues
>>
>>14139843
The Qan[T] and 00 are both very good kits. They have basically the same frame from what I recall but the plate armor has differences. The 00 looks a bit more detailed and the Qan[T] has balance issues the 00 doesn't. If you really like the Quan[T] get it. It's not bad by any means and reinforcing the joints helps a ton.

I'm considering buying another kit soon. But I dunno what. I only have one requirement right now:

Views on average were about G-Reco level (~2%), even a little higher around Episode 20 iirc, and no doubt boosted for the finale but we never saw the final ratings. However for an episode or two ratings were REALLY low, dunno if there was an external reason for that but it was around the series' lowest points in terms of quality so probably not. On top of that, it was in a primetime slot (for comparison, Yu-Gi-Oh followed it and averaged about 4%) and appeared to be getting fairly hyped up but was still only pulling late-night ratings. A dub and streaming services were announced too, but we don't know how much that factors into sales expectations. It's hard to truly tell how much Bandai was pushing it because we don't see how many times they air commercials and previews and shit compared to other series, but for these reasons we can assume it performed below what was desired. However, gunpla sales seemed fine and character merch seems successful enough so it could hardly be called a flop.

I recently picked up an finished an MG Sinanju Stein. Hands can't hold the bloody weapons for shit. However I do have one issue with the intact hand. The fucking ball part that connects the hand to the forearm/wrist came off in the socket however the hand snaps back onto it, should I ask for a replacement for that hand seeing as I have to replace the other one, or should I try welding it together?

Painters, in regards to paint setup/primer setup how do you go about it? I've got a cardboard box filled with smaller sectioned off cardboard pieces, alligator clips holding parts slotted into the holes.

From there what's the right way to do things? I'd be spraying primer with a rattlecan then painting with an airbrush. To my knowledge the guide doesn't mention this.

Spraying in an open garage.

As long as you can see the issues. Lurk and occasionally ask around to learn how to paint better. Cannons look nubby as hell and you have to fix that painting but otherwise not bad for a first time. Not so good either but at least you didn't disgrace your entire ancestry like some I've seen.

I'll be honest, I haven't seen Thunderbolt. I must've gotten trolled some time ago because someone had told me Johnny Ridden was in it and that was his Psycho Zaku. I apologize.

So, I've been thinking about developing a tabletop game for 1/144 scale Gunpla. From what I've thought up for concept:
>every model would need an action base
>must be 1/144 scale (all 1/144 grades allowed so long as you can put them on an action base)
>probably space battles only for now, since Terrain would be tricky
>probably something along the lines of Battletech, for customization rules
>Rules for weapons and such would be by AU, as well as judged by WYSIWYG, so you can kit bash
>You can mix and match AU's so you can go build fighters, do Zakus vs Wing Gundams, or just reenact stuff from the anime/manga

Then there's the whole issue of balancing everything, which would be hell and a half, but doable.

So what do you guys think? Would anyone be interesting in playing/play testing? Or is there something like this already out there?
>>
>>14142118
Sounds interesting, but difficult to even make.

I think I saw some rules made for MSiA scale. No clue if they were anything good.

There's no way you could balance it, but it could be good for fun.

There were legit tabletop games made that used little chits over in Japan, apparently one of the early games got reissued a few years back
http://en.gundam.info/topics/white/4965
>>
>>14142127

I've got plenty of 1/144's, I think the main issue would be the actual weapons/base stats, but I could always piggy back off of an existing system like Battletech or 40K, or something.

>>14142146

This looks neat, albeit very simple. Could also piggy back off of this?

>inb4 I go GW 2 - electric boogaloo with rules cheese
>>
>>14142183
Well, I think that the first thing you should think of is how many numbers you want, how deep the game would be, what systems would be in, and what kind of game you really want it to be. I don't know much about traditional games, but do you want a dice game or tactics, RPG like, or such?

>>
>>14142195

For what I envision, it will be like a simulator of the show/manga. "Reenact your favorite scenes from the show, or make your own!"

I've played 40K and Battletech extensively, and am familiar enough with a bunch of tabletop systems. It's just a matter of making things easy to streamline, since I doubt everyone who builds Gunpla, and who would be interested in said game, would want to read 3 textbooks of rules.

Battletech has a nice manner of stating out mecha, but a pretty complicated system overall. 40k is pretty cinematic and streamlined, but more for a bigger scale, so individual units aren't as grand usually. Just gotta find that equilibrium.
>>
>>14142215
Well, you could make two versions, a pretty barebones one at first and update it when ready with a new "expansion".
Just make UC first, give them some base stats and an easy system. Hell you could use cards too.
>>
>>14142226

That's a good idea. Make some stats for the RX-79-2, maybe the Guncannon and Guntank and some Zakus, then move onto more specialized AU mobile suits and models. Might need to get some more HGUC kits then. Or maybe I'll do IBO, since I got plenty of them to work with. Good call!

proportions look closer to the MG Impulse which is really nice. Although I've never owned one, as I don't build larger than 1/144, I always thought the MG Impulse, and the MG Infinite Justice both looked sexy as hell, and I'm still not sure how they fucked up so hard with the MG Strike Freedom.

Reborns is okay but it's pretty low priority compared to the ones with no modern kits.

Bell pepper is a boring design but it's popular and is a massive hunk of expensive plastic so it probably fits right in with the Nightingale in the Re/100 line.
