***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 expereinced, 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.

That's a lot of elitism given both HGs and MGs are manchild toys regardless.

Regardless, the Gyan may not be a person's favourite but they may still want a kit of it. That's what the HGUC revive version is for, so the kit clearly serves a purpose.

What do you mean by "fun"? I mean enjoyment, and if snapfagging is what brings you joy then I say go for it. That said if you're not putting effort in (sanding, nub removal, basic panel lining .ect) and looking for critique on that effort, then I would recommend not posting here. These generals are clearly meant for critique, suggestions and the free exchange of ideas. If you're looking for a pat on the back there are other places to go.

Just finished my first ever paint job, glad I picked RX-78-2 because I messed up painting and since it's cheap it's not too big a loss.

I thought I was a genius for spray painting the whole tray instead of individual pieces, so I realized I was a retard when it came to cutting them out later. It was definitely fun though. I'll post more pictures tomorrow with a non potato maybe.

>>13459103
did you lose rx-78's red v-fin center?

>implying

MGs are for hamhanded faggots who lack the dexterity and overall skill to work with the far superior 1/144. 1/100 is a wholly arbitrary scale that does not scale with anything else, and exists only to let lazy fucks make kits since real gunpla is too hard for them.
>>
>>13459124
I like it. The Flag's daintiness was always a drawback for me; the Graze is just substantial enough to not look like it would crumple at the slightest impact.

Could you not prime on the sprue and then touch up the nub marks with brush on primer?

Is it better then to assemble a section then spray it?

Layering will be different amd it will show up in any paont applied abolve it. you want even, light coats. Also nub clean up

Here's your (you)

Seriously if you can't have fun doing something, why bother doing it as a hobby?
>>
>>13459345
Remove parts from runners, sand the nubs down and then prime. Never prime semi constructed sections, you will not get an even coat.
>>
>>13459363
Thanks. Is there a good way of holding the pieces? I am thinking blutack on a paperclip stuck to the inner face, or a crocodile clip on one of the pegs.
>>
>>13459366
I usually go for crocodile clips mounted on wooden skewers stuck in a block of dry foam.

Great for airbrushing/rattlecan application.

I hand paint though, so I prime with a rattlecan and then hold the part by the skewer while I apply details.

It's just a mild recolor of that one graze with that lance from the set with the MW tossed in.

>>
>>13459594
Actual custom units that are featured prominently in TV series are P-Bandai now? This feels like a line crossed to me.
>>
>>13460020
Part of the issue is that there is already 3 graze kits being released withing a 2 month period. A fourth feels even more excessive and they have more designs on the way in the series that they want to time gunpla releases for. So since the regular releases went to the mp version, the kai, and chocochar, char's fucboi got relegated to P-bandai since it doesn't require any new parts.
>>
>>13460020
Ok, let's make a Graze for every recolour in the series.

We have Graze, Space Graze, Graze Kai, Schwalbe Graze, purple Schwalbe Graze.

These aren't Zakus, you can only put so many out.

Never really been interested in FAGs, but now I'm curious.

To anyone who has a FAG, are the eyes on it pre-painted? Or waterslides, or what?
How can Bandai's plamo be so inferior?

how does the articulation on a FAG compare to Super Fumina?

Imagine all the people who bought the Super Fumina the second it went on sale online. It sold out in minutes. Imagine all the people who bought it from someplace like amiami so they couldn't cancel it. Imagine how they felt when the pics started rolling out. Now the reviews.

I see.

I think including waterslides for the eyes would have saved Super Fumina.
Besides the horrible eyes, it just needs a proper pink paintjob for the spats and a few grey touchups.

Would it have killed Bandai to bump the price up a few hundred yen?
>>
>>13460230
Super fumina has the superior articulation, fags have the superior faces.

Fags eyes are predone for you, but you also get some spare sets of eyes on the waterslide sheet if you decide to paint the skin on it and need to reapply them.

>How can bandai's plamo be so inferior

Bandai hobby doesn't have nearly as much experiance as koto at making models of girls. They also don't do prepainted parts and including waterslides is very rare so they have to rely on stickers.

To top it off, super Fumina is a decent bit less expensive than the Fags (which on release were around MG level prices).
>>
>>13460268
The raised area's for the plastic face does not look bad as it is easy to reverse panel wash them. I want to see someone paint them and not the display paint them

>>13460270
>including waterslides is very rare
They do it all the time with MGs.

>super Fumina is a decent bit less expensive than

Kotobukiya's prices are always a lot higher than Bandai's because of how Bandai's are produced in their own specialized factories in Japan while Kotobukiya orders shit from China.

It's times like these that make me wish gunpla battle was real.
We'd have FAG users claiming theirs look superior, while the SF users would probably perform better due to (slightly) superior articulation.

Only a few exceptions in the MG line include waterslides (MG Nu, Hi-nu, Sazabi, Sinanju, and Unicorn(?)), as well as all MG P-Bandai kits.
>>
>>13460280
China's factories are actually cheaper than Japans. Gunpla is cheap because they get the license for next to nothing, reuse the hell out of molds, plan to continue profiting off the kits for years, and geared their factories to mass produce them. The kits they make for non gundam series tend to be a bit more expensive at similar quality because they need to pay more for the license and don't have plans to profit off of long term or reuse a lot of parts typically.

And I should have said "waterslides are very rare on hg". I think I can count the number of hg that come with waterslides on one hand.

The manual is up on hobbysearch. Even professional modelers hired by Bandai for the sole purpose of making the kit look the best it can without going full waterslides and shit on it, cannot make it look good.

It's shit. It's pure shit. You can't make it look good if you're just "decent."

Just buy some anime eye waterslides and you got a good cheap base to make custom.

Maybe file and sand the lips down a little while you're at it. They protrude a little too much for an "anime" style face in my opinion and it gives it a weird uncanny valley effect.
>>
So, after sanding down excess putty during the seam welding process, how long should I wait before priming? I should be using a quick bit of water to clean it up first, I take it.
>>
>>13460451
Sounds good but I would like to try put paint for a lipstick effect since it is a raised surface.

I really want one for the custom potential...
Everyone should know by now that all the kits from the HGBF line require moderate degree of work
>>
>>13460458
Give it a soak in warm soapy water and rise off to remove any dust from sanding the putty (Wet sanding especially will leave build up in things like panels on the part) and allow to fully dry before priming.
>>
>>13460458
if you already sanded down then it should be fine for priming.
>>
>>13460460

No they don't. There are kits like Lightning Gundam or Fenice that require zero work whatsoever. The most you have to do is detail painting on something like Kampfer Amazing or the Build Strike backpack.

On the Super Blunder you basically have to redo the entire face.

>haha Super Fumina the best FAGgots BTFO
>>
>>13460482
>>13460483
Ok. I'm using putty/seam welding and all that for the first time. This putty (Perfect Plastic putty) is water soluble. How does that factor into everything? Should I not wet sand/give it clean up with water? Still haven't started yet since I wouldn't want to undo the actual putty by wetting it while sanding.
>>
>>13460498
I stopped using ppp because it being water soluable was always a pain to work around. I swapped to mr. Hobby and never looked back.
>>
So how come they were able to get Goku and Luffy right and not Fumina?
>>
>>13460506
Fuck. Well, I have a full bottle of the stuff and it's already open, may as well finish up. Since you have experience, what should I be doing after it has dried onto the part? Being that I'm an idiot, I didn't use the little plastic nozzle that came with it to pour it onto the part and used a regular applicator instead, it went on slightly thick.

My options are:
Sanding sticks (400/1000/1500/2000 grits)
Metal sanding files.

And do I wet them at all considering that?
>>
>>13460520
People actually care about them.
>>
>>13460522
I only even used the applicator once. I always just applied it with a toothpick, waited like 10-20 minutes, then wet my finger with water to rub off most of the excess and lightly sanded with 1000 grit for the remainder. Then I'd prime to see if it needed more putty or sanding and touch it up as needed. This last step you'll end up doing with almost any putty you use though.

For you.

It's amazing how bad they fucked up the Super Fumina when they did so well with GN Archer and Nobel. Instead of even doing a new gigantic mold for the Super Cumdumpster they could have made it a custom of Nobel with a different face and hair and saved a lot of money, and it probably would have turned out better.

Bandai literally did everything wrong.

How?
>>
>>13460617
It has them molded, so you're just supposed to color in the lines. FAGs are printed/painted on without guides, so doing it yourself would be harder. Casul modeling, essentially.
>>
>>13460622
But the transparent eyes look fucking terrible regardless.
>>
>>13460617
Stuff like the eyelashes, eye brows, and eyes are molded detail and entirely seperate pieces in the case of the last two. On the FAGs those details are entirely flat and just waterslides preapplied for you, requiring you to reapply them if you paint it with basically no way to change the color or paint them in.

Even if you painted in the eyes on the Super Fumina it's still going to look worse than a FAG because her eyes will look sunk the fuck in and uncanny. Not to mention her face is all weirdly bulgy and she's got a creepy smile.

There are actually people trying to defend this by saying "hurrrr but FAGs have to use waterslides" as if that isn't going to look better than all the alternatives. Face it, the Super Fumina was a mistake, it was not the FAGkiller you all thought it'd be.
