For those unfamiliar, "Plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model." If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

Stickers. They may look like waterslides but they're not.

It's harder to clean caked dust off a matte surface because it's not smooth like bare plastic or gloss coat, you just gotta clean it more often

Here we are, the metal black grimgerde I said I would spray. (the lower leg should have been gold but I was too lazy and stopped at the black primer layer) Not to mention using the stickers for the sensor because I am a lazy hack.

Still need to spray over the parts the clip held onto as I thought it would be hidden.

IBO kits are inexpensive but the usage of a lot of plastic on plastic joints make them really stiff when posing. So that's something I don't really like about them.

>>5588420
From dalong's review, yes.

Shame about the obvious stickers though, put me off on putting them all on.

I've got a big box of really old, busted up Gundams that I've been trying to salvage with little luck. I'm actually considering grabbing one of the Frame Arms Girl Materia types and using the shattered remains of a mobile suit to make some sort of mecha musume shit.

I've got a Gouf with obliterated joints, a Kampfer with most of it's body crushed, and an assortment of green parts that appears to have been an SD version of something I can't identify. I thought it was a Big Zam at first, but it doesn't have any legs and there's these big pointy triangle parts on the shoulders.

What do you guys think I should go with?

Finally finished my RG Justice, I really wanted the flight pack up in flight mode but it's so back heavy that I've found it impossible for it to sit up in anything but a very front heavy pose.

No, sir! These mobile suits, smashed and ruined though they be, hold sentimental value. They represent a time in my life when things weren't quite so shitty and joyless.

That's why I've held onto them for so long, and why I'm considering going the mecha musume route. Can't bear to get rid of them.

She was basically a figurehead. She's never been in an actual fight before the series.
>>
>>5589285
She's the daughter and sole heir of one of the top 7 noble families that run the military and the division she commands is intended to be purely decorative in order to get her put of the way.

The hg ritter manual mentions different features on the machine were made specifically to be aesthetically pleasing since the ritter was supposed to be used primarily for ceramonial purposes rather than actual combat.

The main reason she keeps going after the MCs is she wants to prove her division isn't worthless.

You do realize that you don't have to blindly like everything just because it's a real Gundam brand Gundam, right? Like, I fucking love Shinkis, but I'm very vocal about how much I hate Vitulus. (She reminds me of calves in veal boxes, if you're curious)

I'm about to start watching a bit of gundam so I'm atleast not disingenuous about having toys but not knowing the source material. It just seems fun. Also I got these two off Hlj because they were very cheap.

What am I in for? Anything I should know? This will be my first time building, I'm already googling painted techniques, and the GF already has micron pens. Very excited.

Wait for the Revival Gouf coming out later this month. Also, Z'Gok is a fun build for an old kit and I'd recommend getting the Zogok to go along with it, too.
>>
>>5589536
Since I'm new to all this, what does revival bring? Better overall build? or just a few changes? Right now I was just going to grab this gouf since he is only 6 dollars. Maybe I can get the new one when it comes out and use the old one for paint practice?

Also

The Revival Gouf is better in every way, from posability, build quality, and the way the pieces fit together.

That's a good idea. Get the old one anyways.

Hyakuri is a decent design, though it doesn't feel... Gundamy(?) enough to me. Like I could see it being from a different property. Guison is dope though, I forgot about that one.

Holy shit are you me? My story is the same as yours, I kept seeing these threads & eventually caved, ordering the exact same two kits! The only difference being my Z'gok was red (blue was sold out at the time & I was impatient). & I started watching 0079, too, so as not to be a fucking hack. Awesome.

Given the insanely high melting point of armor and the only benefit would be if you got lucky enough to over heat their systems, it's not worth the risk of range.

Fire is far too close of a range compared to beams and such. Hell even a javelin usually has longer range in Gundam.

Newbie here buying the zgok and others.
I have these little terran marines I got from the blizzard store for 10 dollars. Don't really care for them or have use for them, so figured I'd use them to practice panel detailing for the first time! Looks pretty shitty, but thats the point of practice and it being the first time and everything. Also I rushed a bit and the grooves on these are fucking tiny.

You should try brush pens. The ink gets in the grooves a lot easier. Also, you could do some sickass brush drawings/writing in your spare time.

I'm at around the same mark. Started making them back around the 98-99 mark cause a couple of hobby shops had them around and I liked mecha more than tanks. When I graduated High school in 04 I gave them all to my friend as I had no real space to put them anywhere.

Finally got back into it a couple of years ago, feels good man, its nice to knock out a project in like a week or so. I'm starting to get to the same amount I had before, probably either need to put some away as I've gotten my airbrush skills a bit better. Oh well.

>>
>>5590382
>first panel
If the par number says B1-5, look for B1 and part number 5
>second panel
when snipping the part off the attachment point which connects to the runner, dont cut it clean on the model to allow a little breathing space for those parts to take the stress when you snip other parts
Then snip them clean off once the parts are fully free from the runners (this will help avoid white stress marks and warping)
>Third panel
Make sure to snip just the sprue attachment off flush with the part, be careful to identify which is the sprue attachment and which is the part.

The nycc one is open to anyone who can show up with a kit at the event. Gbwc events in the US are in the regional stages until the last con sometime in the fall, then the winners of all the regionals are compared and one is picked to go to Japan and represent the US.
