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, don't 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.

Hey guys, I do commission builds.
Each HG commission is $100
Each MG commission is $300
Anyone interested? Post your email.
Pic related is my latest commission for a friend. Since it was a small kit I gave it a 25% discount. She loves it.
>>13397576
Man, I hope some idiot does fall for this. Anyone dumb enough to fall for such an obvious scam deserves whatever happens to them.
My Mack Knife's are ready to scramble at a moments notice. To defend Capital Tower, of course.
Anyone know where I can get more runway from? I remember these came from a 1/144 plane toy that I forgot about.
>>13397641
Nvm, found em. They're called Hot Wings runways and they come in packs of 4 for like 7 bucks?
>>13397641
Why would they launch like that from a runway?
>>13397652
Autism.
Graze squad guy here, I got the first two Grazes built and I'm wondering which units I should start on. I was thinking about using the blue one for the melee unit since it's fast. For its main weapons I was considering the Freedom Ferder's tonfas?
As for the standard Graze, I suppose I could screw around with some heavy weapons I have laying around for the heavy unit?
>>13397693
Aren't you supposed to have like six of these things or something?
>>13397716
Yes, but right now I don't have the money for the other four. Plus one of the four I need doesn't come out until next month, anyway. I'm going to try and buy three more Grazes over the next few weeks.
>>13397724
You could make the green one one of the two "regular" ones you were talking about.
The blue one can be either the melee one or you could make it your commander like it's supposed to be and think of what you're going to slap on it to make it commander-y. Like custom paintjob or gun or whatever.
Got my Exia R3 conversion kit and this is my proress so far. The plastic quality is on par with Model comprehend and there are some fitting issues as expected. I recommend sanding the peg where the tip if the barrel attaches to reduce its diameter as the fit is too tight. In the instructions, you need to cut off parts from the thighs inner frame. Meaning you may no longer be able to revert it back to normal Exia. You can not build 2 GN Swords as shown in the promo pics. but there are enough parts to build 2 GN Rifles.
What color would be the easiest to paint with if your going to make a custom model?
>>13397735
Yeah, the Commander unit was the one I kept running into a roadblock with. I looked at previously released Commander units and there wasn't a whole lot of difference between them and the regular version.
>>13397741
Yeah usually "commander" just means a horn and a different paintjob, and maybe a gun. I guess you would have to think of what type of commander this is exactly. Beefy and hard-hitting or a fast Char-like motherfucker?
Well out of your ideas I'd say you should work on the melee one. Which I guess would involve making the head more generic since it's not a commander type anymore.
>>13397760
>Which I guess would involve making the head more generic since it's not a commander type anymore.
That's easy enough. Just switch out the head for a standard Graze head.
Also, I'm thinking I'm going to use Tieren legs for the heavy unit. Big, bulky, definitely able to let the unit stay still while firing giant guns with insane amounts of recoil even for a giant robot. and feet flat enough that it won't topple over by looking at it funny. Yeah, it should go without saying that the Graze has some balance issues. It also has an insane amount of moving parts for an HG.
>>13397693
I say go for the Hyper Gunpla Battle Weapon set and use the Scissor weapon in Dual saber mode.
Could also slap a funnel set on him. Funnels are criminally underused.

https://www.hlj.com/product/BAN991400/Gun
>>13397779
>funnel
No beams allowed.
Speaking of, someone should make a variant of that image with the Barbatos and a sign that says NO BEAMS ALLOWED.
>>13397786
How about some solid funnels? By which I mean missiles.
>>13397802
Missiles are doable. I still have the missile pod things from the Leopard Da Vinci.
>>13397786
Oh get an imagination. I'm sure mobile workers still get shrekt by beams. And if not, why not use them for anti-personnel duties?
Cute little girls with rocket launchers hiding in that debris over there? Zip a dozen funnels over there and turn them into embarrassed looking piles of ash.
Less trauma for the survivors, too! Guy next to you gets riddled with bullets and is a gasping bullet hole filled chuck of meat bleeding out next to you? TRAUMA!
Guy next to you gets zapped by a laser and is turned into a nice and neat pile of ash? NO TRAUMA!
How do I replicate the hamon (wave pattern) on the blade of a katana? I'm gonna be painting an Astray katana with Alcads.
>>13397576
How much for a HG Methuss with a strap-on blowing a load of black oil on a MG white metallic Hyaku Shiki ?
>>13397740
No color is easier. Paint types themselves can be easier. Try a flat color out before gloss since generally flats hide nubs better. From there just pick colors you like.
>>13397802
BB Senshi Xi Gundam says why not missile funnels?
>>13397740
Yellow and white.
>>13397650

"Before quenching (when the red hot blade is suddenly submerged in water) smiths coat it with a clay mixture to cool the edge slightly faster than the back. The difference is only a few thousandths of a second, but it turns the edge into an even harder kind of steel called martensite. It also creates the hamon. In ancient times, its main function was to create a powerful blade. Today, it’s an opportunity for the smith to express himself artistically."
I doubt you'll be quenching 1000 times injected Bandai plastic, but you can probably do it just by masking the sword and then painting it. Just be very precise.
>>13397508
>dat Falken

have a Burguer
How's the quality of Kotobukiya kits? I'm thinking of buying this.
Yes, I perfectly know that Aldnoah.Zero was awful as a show, but the Earth Kataphracts had amazing designs.
>>13398042
AZ is a fine show, just recent trollbait.
Kyotob is kinda crappy for price for snapfags, but fairly good if you know what yer doing.
>>13397942
I might actually buy a pack of their runways for displays and stuff.
>>13398067
>AZ is a fine show
Like fucking hell it was "fine". I could perfectly write an essay about how utterly awful the writing was, like the Gundam SEED one that's floating around.
>>13398012
I got a good look at an actual katana, and the blade edge from the hamon down, and this entire region has this look of brushed metal outward to the edge.
So I should either mask + sandpaper, or should I do a thin handbrushed layer of metallic paint to replicate the texture?
>>13398099
Perhaps you can make a thread about it m8, before copypastaing us all to death in this one.
>>13398042
>Kotobukiya
MG price, HG articulation, has good detail if yer willing to bring it out.
I'm basing this on their MuvLuv kits.
>>13397786
Found another work around.
Pick up a Unicorm version Dreissen and you can get this cool T-Link Ripper type weapon that both satisfies my funnel fetish and appeases your "HURRDURR NO BEAMS" autism.
>>13398167
Well, that bazooka would be really cool to have for future builds.
>>13398012
Is that a leopard 1

>>13398067
>AZ is a fine show,
I love this meme.
>>13397739
Dang it SamuelDecal. He's not shipping his out until next week.
Meanwhile, I completed my first diorama type thing. Are you guys ready for Halloween? Doing any spooky builds?
>>13398042
Honestly why buy this kti? get a graze and color it orange and is be basically the same kit but cheaper
>>13398042
>but the Earth Kataphracts had amazing designs.
Must be tough having such bad tastes
>>13398117
If you still got the runners that are chrome plated. Try it on the label and inform us what looks best
>>13398192
Will you get dust on the cotton fluff?
Think the guy used stencils to write "Strike Fighter" and "Dra-C Meeting" on this kit or custom decals of some measure?
These poses are super awkward. Sorry. Anyway, that doing anything for you?
>>13398284
Get a proper light box onii-chan. You're embarrassing us.

>>13398374
Alright, I'll try again tomorrow. Hopefully with less awkward poses.
>>13398394
Also get at DSLR with macro lense.
Decent used bundle, only ~800$.
>>13398409
>$800
Take away two of those zeroes and make that eight a one and we got ourselves a deal.
Bought a bin to clean up my shelf a bit/protect some of my backlog from dust. Was a pain in the fucking ass to move everything.
This is before...
>>13398428
...And this is after. A lot cleaner and a lot nicer. Bit bigger than what I would like, but the boxes are fucking hugewhich never fails to make me smile when I think about it.
>>13398409
>only $800
Yeah only Anon.
>>13398432
My mono-eye display as of now. I really need to get more mono-eye kits built.Also a tad worried about dust, but right now it seems ok.
>>13398437
My Feddie display as of now. It currently shares space with the bin, so I might be moving it sooner rather than later.
And that's it. Now what kit is next? Preferably something mono-eye.
>>13398445

Where all dem stickers at Anon. I notice a lot missing.
>>13398437
>those dust covered magic cards
>>13398489
Don't have any sticker sheets, especially for my mono-eyes. I have a 08th one from my Ez8 build and my Zeek Mk. II F2 STardust Memory one, but that's it.
>>13398458
Working on it.
Question. I can use a primer with parts masked off, right? Or will the masking tape peel off the primer with it?
>>13398437
Welcome to the Zeonic Fellowship friend.Too bad you're never getting off this wild ride ...
>>13398546
I still need to get a Zaku II.
and a Dom.
And a Z'gok

>>13398546
Which kit is the red one?
>>13398583
HowNew.ru?That's Char's Zaku II Origin Ver.
>>13398607Very new, I mainly lurk to try to pick up information. Adding that to my list. Thank you, mang.

thanks
Any of you niggas think Bandai will eventually release the gol ver. of the Altron?
I feel like they're trolling us.
How do you guys reach into the crevice to paint the upper head lenses?
>>13398546
The Kshatriya really needs to have a saber that doesn't blend in with it's coloring. An orange, yellow, or purple would work best I feel.
>>13398682Sticker
>>13398682
Sticker, and most people don't paint them after they put it together, they paint the model beforehand, let it dry, then snap it all together.
>>13398558
>Z'gok
Forgot to add my Hy-Gogg, but an RG Z'gok would be a fun non zaku mono eye to buildthen an HG Gogg, HG Acguy, HG Zock ...
>>13398583
It's what that other anon said, Char Origin Zaku. Since you're new, it's an easy build with pretty nice gate placement for most parts so you won't really have to deal with visible nub marks other than for the lower legs and head.
>>13398701
That green looks good if you're able to light it up. You could always replace it with a modern MG variant if it comes with a different color
dat horrendus blotch of paint on its forearm
Guess ill call it a birthmark and accept it that way.
>>13398770
>That green looks good if you're able to light it up. You could always replace it with a modern MG variant if it comes with a different color
Agreed, but it might just be where I do a lot of art stuff, so I've gotten used to contrasting colors and such, and the fact that I prefer the sabers that aren't pink or green personally. I especially love the yellow/orange ones, not enough of those I feel.
>>13398788
I honestly wouldn't have noticed it had you not pointed it out.
>>13398788
What? h Hw?
>>13398788
Believing the sign!
>>13398788
WHY DIDN'T YOU TRIM THE V-FIN
>>13398850
It's just a toy. No need to get so obsessed over a trivial detail that girls won't even notice.
>>13398850
maybe because those aren't safety nubs
>>13398866
is this resized for your nokia flip phone?
>>13398770
Thanks for the heads up about the Char Origin Zaku. I'm waiting for my first kit to come in (Yonem Zaku Sniper) to try out this whole GunPla thing.
>>13398788
Is it's waist reversed?
>>13398866
Damn, I trimmed mine. So I actually put work into making it inaccurate.
This is like the time I seam welded a panel line on an AGE kit.

Convince me to get the blue Graze.

Fuckin sick m8, the wurger is next on my list of OG kits, so far i have the Alt, the R Gun, and well obviously the falken now. Gotta have that wurger to go with it; hopefully I can find it for a really good price like I did with the falken.
>>13398975
it usually appears in mandarake for 1800 yen or less, in fact, there is one now there for 2000yen if you look for it
>>13398981
>>13398975
I even went as far as getting the 1/100 version, too bad they only made 4 of these kits
>>13398864
I noticed
>>13398992
What gundam is that?
>>13398992
damn lucky you, but I;m not surprised, you always have some of the coolest kits; it's a good thing you do them right. I'll check mandrake after my next paycheck cause I can't justify ordering just one kit at a time from them, thanks for the heads up on where to get it!

Hg shuffle alliance when? I built the old hyper mode bolt last night in two hours. Pics possibly later but I'd like to give it a quick going over of hold paint to erase where the nubs were cut. Should I sand it too? I normally do but I'm afraid of messing with that sweet chrome.

Fascinating. NAOKI is using Mr Surfacer 1000 as a primer here, and not the Surfacer + Primer thing.
https://youtu.be/1kTl05IL_I8?t=21m49s

Does Tamiya TS-80 clear coat play nice on Vallejo paints or does it craze no matter your spraying distance?
>>13399185
seconded
>>13399185
I don't understand this meme.
>>13399196
Mr Surfacer isn't a putty, it's microfiller suspended in what is basically primer. You just need to thin it and you'll end up with a lacquer-based primer with filler
>>13397739
Post more progress
About how much should I plan to spend to get started in this hobby? I don't really intend to paint any time soon, but I do want to fix seams and panel line.
>>13398042
Too bad they'll never make the much better designed kg-7... That poor thing never got to do anything besides that one time rat used it to kill

>>13399700
I think its one to three persistent shitposters who are forcing it.
>>13399787
I might actually get the sleipnir, hopefully its still in stock somewhere in december, gonna try mandarake and yodobashi akiba
>>13399787
Well, it got a MegaHouse figure but
>7300ï¿¥ and Sold Out.
You could always just paint the Sleipnir olive drab before applying decals and get something similar-looking, but yeah that's not really a decent substitute.I'll be fucking pissed if Koto ended up making a Tharsis before it made an Areion
>>13399787
I don't want to turn this into an A/Z shitposting thread, but I find it absolutely fucking baffling that they got Eggs to execute the plans.
Surely it would be better to risk your disposable soldiers like Marito and not your genius who comes up with all the plans you rely on.
>>13398819
Is the Zeta Painted or is that just a top coat on the blue
>>13399824
Eggs was the only competent person in the entire earth forces, unfortunately.
I'm probably gonna go for it and get the KG-6 if I have the chance. The being bad can't make the design bad.
I wish there were a KG-7 kit. Imagine how much cheaper it'd be without the big dumb leg wings.
>>13399832

I don't want to agree with the shitposter, but at least thin your paints. Take some thinner or rubbing alcohol and take it off

What's the chance of getting a sleipnir in December? I know koto don't do reprints often
So who's hyped for the new season of FMP and thehopefullynew kits they'll make?
>>13399992
Well when you sleep with the wrong sorts of people you find behind pubs in ports this is what happens.
Do I have to topcoat alclad?
Man, it's nice how everything SEED just fits into eachother
>>13400194
Yeah, some new 1/60s would be nice, would love an ARX-7, M9, Zy-98 and the other from the novels
>>13400273
I know nothing about the series, but when I saw the ARX-7 I became erect and made it my goal to get one
I just want them to release the Mobile Worker already fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
>>13400254
isn't it because they're all based on the strike or something fam
>>13400316
i was hype to begin with then i realized i have no inspiration to do anything with one, group build time?
>>13400340
The Duel was the first one created canonically, so technically they're all based on it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwTjEGPvI08
does anyone know what model this is?
>>13400411
oh shit wrong link
>>13400340
Why not just straight build it? It looks cool.
Everyone has such a hard on for customs but I straight build 95% of my shit with detail paint and panel lines and topcoating. Maybe some seam welding.
>>13400432
is just a 1 colour block
>>13400441
Then paint the details.
>>13400446
thats exactly what he didnt want to do
>>13400461
Then sell it.
Perfect Strike finally done!
>>13400470
So did you buy the Remaster MG and the Launcher/Sword pack? Looks nice, but there are those nubs on the inner frame
>Susanowo is too fucking much for what it's worth
kill me
>>13400483
No, bought the Launcher and Sword separately at Yellow Submarine in Akihabara, parts shop, though it cost more than the entire MG package to buy them like that, but what would I want with the old Strike?
Yeah, I'm usually not to careful with inner frame nubs since they usually won't show depending on the pose. Not into sanding really.
>>13400461
its not that i don't want to paint it, its that I have no idea what i'd paint up in/as
i have zero thematic inspiration for a mobile worker build
>>13400508
I get what you mean, I usually don't either but I try to get rid of the ones that show. That's pretty cool that you can buy the parts separately. The old MG looks better, because with the remaster it's like they tried to change random shit that didn't need to be changed like those retarded die designs on the shoulders
>>13400519
It seems really simple to me. Strap some guns to it and make it into a weapon like D-Walker.
>>13400531
I have the old IWSP and Noir too but I really liked this one better, more parts separation and cooler decals. Though the old Strike seems to be regarded as the first "modern" MG here it's still 13 years old now.
when are we going to get MG 00 kits that aren't setsuna suits

Really like how vibrant the clear red turned out on the chest and forehead jewels.
Shame about the misplaced vent stickers though.
Also, it's kinda anti-climactic depressing to find that a pic reveals imperfections that your own eyes could not detect. Now the orange overflow on the face is gonna bug me forever.

>>13397497
Are we going to see a 1/144 revive or Origin GM (if there is such a thing) anytime soon?
The HGUC GM is pretty outdated.
This is kinda sketchy, it also costs like 5 times the price of an average gaia metallic paint.
After Perfect Strike I finally got the last part of Buster top coated too, only Blitz left but I can't decide whether to use Matte coat, semi-gloss or Clear... probably not clear but matte just doesn't seem shiny enough for that suit.
>Guitar rifle
>Guitar-case shield
I don't know how I feel about this
>>13400913
They would be really retarded to not make a Revive/Origin GM since they could milk it forever. It wouldn't even be that hard. They already have the Revive Gendums and the HGUC GMII was already really good.
>>13400718
I agree, it's always strange how you don't notice imperfections until you take a photo. Then some imperfections aren't noticeable in photos too
>>13400913
What's that? Five more Zakus? Of course, why would we do anything else?
>>13400084
Harrison's is white, kiddo
>>13400118
Because you force yourself on everybody
>>13401005
>Harrison's is white, kiddo
Yeah but his mobile suit is blue.
>>13401212
Yeah but we aren't talking about the body, are we
>>13400932
>new premium gaia
brb buying the shit out of it
>>13400932
Well you might as well use Spaz Stix chrome or Alcad since they do the same and are cheaper.
>>13400944
>Let's cannibalize the clear parts off Extreme Gundam and slap it onto G-Self
genius.
How's the articulation range on the Extreme Gundam? I might wizard up something with it to make G-Self more flexible.

did i finally lost it gunpla thread?
Are my /m/exican compadres here?
What are sprue cutters called here in Mexico? Are they available in any hardware store?
And what about pic related?
>>13400944
Legs are kind of meh since the side skirts and thingh joints restrict side-to-side movement but otherwise it's a standard HG.
>>13401360
Its just a hobby knife/ xacto knife mang
>>13401360
X-acto is x-acto everywhere
http://xacto.com/Home.aspx
>>13401360
Try asking for jewelry shear cutters for the sprue cutters. As for the knives just ask for X-Actos.
>>13401299
Shitposter BTFO yet again about his knowledge about Gundams. I don't get why he doesn't post in /toy/ because I dont think they care so much about Gundam then the actual Gunpla.
>>13401405
He does, the janitor over there actually does their job and deletes his posts
>>13401360
one here, as they said, just look for an x-acto
also, if you are from the DF, there is a Tamiya shop in the south part, near San Jerónimo, it is a good place to buy some supplies, mostly topcoat
for everything else, you can order them cheaper online
>>13401475BCS, sadly.
What about the sprue cutters?
>>13401484
wouldn't it be easier for you to cross the border and buy stuff in the US? anyways, as far as I know, they are simply called "pinzas de corte"
they are not found exclusively in hobby shops, you can find them too in the tools section of any home depot or total home store
>>13401475
nice weathering
>>13401506
Alrighty, thanks, mate. Sorry for asking stupid questions.
I'm not that close to the border, really. I'm pretty much close to the end of the peninsula.
Question: when do you need primer and when do you don't?
>>13401518
no problem, but as I said, almost all the tools you need, knives, sprue cutters, cutting mats, etc, can be bought online, at least I did in HLJ
the only real trouble is the damn topcoat, I use tamiya because there is a store nearby, but so far, I have not found something that can serve as a substitute
>>13401522
Read the guide faggot.
But short answer:
primer is always best, especially with paints, acrylic is pretty weak.
If you are using a spay can you don't really need primer.
If you are going for a lighter color, or painting over yellow or red, primer is probably a good idea.
... and Duel in non-potato form
>>13401544
fuck man... if the shitposter finally asks how to get better don't call him a faggot. But good on you that you actually answered his question though.
>>13401559
If he actually wanted to get better, he wouldn't have to ask. It's in the guide.
And calling shit roses doesn't make it not stink.
progress with the MG Gundam X
>>13401620
while I like the clear purple parts, they are a little too dark for my liking, they don't really stand out as I would like them to do
>>13401620
nice, might get one to complement the double X, but the X doesn't have the divider right?
>>13401559
>implying shitposter wants to get better
>implying shitposter isn't just farming for (you)'s like he always has
>>13401644
no, but I think the weapons of the old 1/100 model are compatible with the MG
>>13401544
So if I got blue and sprayed it on white... I wouldn't need primer? What about a top coat? Is that necessary if it's like... a segmented part?
>>13401648
>>13401579
I don't know, I just want him to settle down or go away. I'd rather him asking dumb questions that's in the guide than him saying he doesn't need the guide.
I'll do my part and never reply to him regardless.
>>13401660
like the G-Falcon for XX
>>13401666
Like I'm going to help the devil with his gunpla.
>>13401669
>I'd rather him asking dumb questions that's in the guide than him saying he doesn't need the guide.
But thats literally saying you don't need the guide. Asking such general questions about primer is as basic and covered as it gets when it comes to the guide. Don't encourage it.
>>13401758
Not him, but my thoughts exactly. If anyone is going to feed him his (you)'s, then at least let them be posts to go read the guide. That and experience from actually doing something,anything, is what noobs really need.
>>13401559
no. shitposter is the eternal faggot
>>13402127

I'LL BE IN MY BUNK
Finished snapping together my Stargazer today, going through the legs right now to take care of seam welding.
I'm gonna grab some plasheet and try making a face mask for this. Probably won't be able to split open, but it'll be removable for sure.
How do I paint in this part (in circle) with a brush? It's like masking off the surrounding area in a 1/144 is gonna be a crapshoot.
>>13402182
You could just not paint it since for a part like that the sticker is fine. Alternatively, you paint it before you put it together.
>>13402182
I use metallic gundam markers for stuff like that.
Of course I would paint the surrounding area white after.
>>13401360
I bought one at office max. They also have blades for it.
>>13402280
What am I looking at here?
