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.

>>13470624
Like i said in my earlier posts i had to downgrade phones. The stock camera app is complete shit but google cam app is slightly better sonce i can change iso and whatnot, but what i noticed is it cant really focus since the stock camera doesnt for some reason. Its day time now so ill try to take better pics. As for the blurry i just naturally shake alot, held my breath for each shot but ill try again
>>13470628saddly had to delete all my pics cuz apparently saving old photos will turn into corrupt files. Shoulda paid attention in computer classes a lil better instead of playing games
>>13470704
I heard good things about OpenCamera, if you have an Android phone.
>>13470747
I have an android but this phone i think will piss off any real techies on /g/just had to wait 5 minutes for it open up a text, shit wont delete the corrupt files ans then it just didnt want to do anythin
>>13470798
If you don't have anything important on it you might as well back up your contacts and reset the phone. Also check to see if the memory card's corrupted as well if you save images to it and they keep getting fucked up. The blurry camera issue might just be a hardware problem if you aren't just doing something retarded
>>13470798
Might be time to upgrade, anon-san.
Anyone else having problems with HLJ? I can get onto the homepage just fine but each time I click or search something I just get a blank page.
>>13470942
same for me
>>13470885
>>13470931
You see i just bought it 2 weeks ago. I cant upgrade since i didnt have the funds atmim still paying off 2 s5 cuz of the warranty.When the first s5 broke it was 5 months after i bought it but since i didnt pay it off "the warranty was voided" or some bs. If i sound really mad/buttblasted is because i have a bad history with em that almost got me into legal trouble for something i didnt do /blog
Anyways i remembered that i have an old zaku-tank so im gonna add it to my ground unit. Give it some cannons to help cover my sniper
>>13470625
The best joke.
Still laughing.
>FAGs BTFO
>>13470980
Man the zaku-tank seems really bland. At least the guntank had those fuckhuge 180mm cannons; zaku-tank just has tiny ass grabber arms. Maybe you could pick up one of the Zaku Cannons from the same line and use the torso instead so it at least has a main gun?
>>13471347
>>13471367
Is it me or do the eyes feel like theyre watching you?
>>13471379
Oh i kinda fugd up the inside that holds the arms. But i did replace the right arm with an old fg zaku arm that has some mobility while the grabber arm is permently in a fixed spot. I have the ms cannon set i was thinking of using those or modding a rocket launcher for it
>>13471347
>>13471367
Super blunder is just nightmare fuel.
Super Fumina might have worked if they gave you more than one face with that creepy fucking grin on it. No matter how hard you try short of a facial resculpt it will always have that "going to eat your face" expression.
And that's when you're going the distance to make it look good.

Why the super fumina dump again? This is like the fourth time.
>>13471670
Because it amuses me.
>>13471670
Funposting.
Funposting never changes.
>>13471670
It´s fun to laugh at that blunder
>>13471670
Because they shit a hole through the bed.
That said, it is likely to be the base of a good few waifu customs of various qualities, lots of headswaps too.
Do you think Bandai will give up over this, or do you think it will motivate them to make a non-shit MS girl line?
>>13471807
Time will tell but the Super Blunder has basically set MS Girl development back 10 years. Disaster.
I wonder if anyone on /gpg/ bought a Super Fumina.
>>13471825
I was actually considering it at one point, but thank fucking god I didn't pre-order it

Every picture posted makes me gladder I passed on super blunder.
Hey /m/, just got my first lacquer topcoat. I have some questions: are you supposed to wear a respirator or a mask when topcoating? And how long does it take for the topcoat to dry so I can get my hands on it? Thanks.
>>13471670
I swear at this point it's one or two guys trying to force it. Its all the same "Super blunder" and "fags btfo" over and over every time.
>>13471866
Hope you didn't buy it for the Super Blunder of the decade
This is the face of fear if I ever saw it.

But I'm not everyone making fun of the Super Blunder. I'm not even the one who came up with Super Blunder. It's just... look at it.
Look at it.

>>13471871
It's just fun to shit on things.
Come on, join the fun.
>>13471879
Thanks. What about goggles?
>>13471910
I'd rather have fun building models, figuring out ways to fix things I don't like about models of designs I like, and discussing models I actually do like than saving a dozen pics of a model I don't and dumping them in every thread with the same beating a dead horse joke over and over like that one file name shit poster does and this guy is starting to do.

>>13471936
good point you are very intelligent
except for the part you missed about it happening over and over again
>>13471953
You can bitch about it when I'm still doing this a year from now. How about you lighten the fuck up since I link reviews and post pics in these threads all the time, and am just having fun with this one because it's particularly bad?
>>13471964
Oh so you treat this place like its your personal blog? That's nice too know
>>13471964
woah now. I said you are intelligent. unless you took it as an insult
>>13471347
She's like 12 bucks right? FAGs were like what 40 right off the bat?
>>13471969
She's more like $15 due to her size (She's tall as fuck) but yeah.
>>13471982
Hell I'm getting her because that shit is already almost 40 aftermarket.
>>13471986

>>13471986
>people are going to buy Super Blunder for 40 dollars when the same 40 dollars could get them a Stylet on amiami
>>13470704
Thank for clarifyng the sheev color. I think I'll go with something like that.
>>13472000
I sell hundreds of figures and gundams on Ebay. People will buy anything. People are too scared with international shipping that they pay my inflated prices. FK knows what he's doing.
>>13472000
>Implying that's going to last at that price much longer
>Implying that isn't already marked up from the preorder price.
>Implying by the end of the month stylet won't be $60 on the after market.
>>13472020
Stylet is already 60 dollars on the aftermarket. It could end up like the Gourai and go to 75-90.
>>13472020
It is already happening.
>amiami no longer has discount for her
>hlj discontinued
>popping up on mandy for 4k yen and above
She's a cute. So that's that.
gotta admit, this is pretty mesmerizing
>>13472099
maybe if you have epillepsy
After what happened with the Gourai, why would anyone not have immediately jumped on the Stylet?I bought one when it went up for preorder just because I could.
>>13472126
Because Stylet seems prettymeh
Just waiting on Jinrai or Architect so I can have a ponytail
On a related note, are there any scans out for the Hobby Japan Extra with the new FAG's?
>>13472141
It's like one page. And the one page is up on hobbysearch.

this must be one of the worse tastes i haveredin 4chin
Is there any place that has reviewed/looked at any vintage kits?
>>13472099
Its cool but woulda been cooler if it were green
Anyways finished for now my zaku-tank. It needs a lot more work to be anywhere good. Left the pipes off untill i paint them. Still need to think of a color scheme
>>13472194
Define "Vintage."
>>13472203
Older than 2010
>>13472203
Shit that that's molded in one color like >>13472201's Zaku Tank.
>>13472141
which one is this?
>>13472193
I'm just not a fan of the hair, faces or the original stylet anyways. I was too late to jump on the Gourai hype train so I'm going to have to wait for whatever they release after the Materia
>>13472210
Architect, I'm probably going to try to make an EWAC FAG with her
>>13472201
>Still need to think of a color scheme
Why not Hatsune Miku?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpYkz5WU1Vg
>>13472222
They all have the same face, how is the Stylet's worse?
>>13472201
If it's going with the rest of your mono-eye land squad then you should probably keep the same color scheme so they resemble an actual OYW team.
>>13472230
The smuggest bastard
>>13472241
Nigga the smugness is the best part.
>>13472241
the smugness makes stylet a lot better than gouraididnt you watch owari no seraph
>>13472263
>spoiler
No, that show was kind of a load of garbage.
>>13472251
>>13472263
Nah man, it's a combination of the design choices to fit in the sleek, jet aesthetic that reminds me way too much of Shit Witches, the vocaloid-shit hair and the fact that the weapons are so much more lackluster than the mega-bazooka the gourai had
>>13472294
>>13472207
>>13472224
Ill probably do what >>13472241 is suggesting since it is apart of my uc group. But for that i still dont know what colors would best fit uc
>>13472294
>he doesn't like Strike Witches.
On that note, what would be the best way to make a Strike Gundam Strike Witch, aside from slapping jet engines on an MS Girl, assuming a Strike version exists.
>>13472331
>>13472331
This is the only acceptable way.
>>13472331
Take a FAG, paint it Strike colors, give it a V-fin, and mod some Aile pack boosters into leg armor.
>>13472294
Please don't tell me you think all twintails are Vocaloid and all jet mech musume are Strike Witches.
>>13472331only like it for one thing and i dont even watch the showso pretty much this>>13472338
>>13472343
That just looks creepy
>>13472349
Nah, my head just jumped to the worst things I could associate with what I saw.
I don't know why people kept comparing a unpainted model kit to those finish painted products
>>13472356
There's painted ones here >>13471347 >>13471367
I need to hunt down an Old HG Zeta now.
>>13472356
Well unpainted FAGs still look better imo, I can't think of any other comparisons at that same price point.
>>13472363
I used to have the old HG ZZ. It was actually fucking amazing at the time (in the mid 2000s IIRC), just had some proportion problems.
>>13472375
Those koto seams. (TM)
>>13472356
I think at the end of the day the only similarity is mecha musume. But that's enough to have a jolly time comparing the two
>>13472311
Please anon. I need a translation.
>>13472394
>>13472404
oh god my sides
These "cute Gourai" comics bug me because I prefer how the Gourai kit has that soulless, dead, blank slate facial expression.

>>13472404
>tfw this model would fit snapfit boxer if try fighters ova allowed it
>tfw those hips and legs on miss sazabi
>>13472437
It's incredible.
>>13472141
They changed Architects haristyle. It looks like this now.
>>13472440I'm usually not into samurai mechs, but I totally want to make this into a samurai mech
>>13472440
Do we have a height comparison?
Miss Sazabi is a tall gal
>>13472375
>I can't think of any other comparisons at that same price point.
pretty sure FAGs are alot more than Super Fumina, they are Koto kits after all.
>>13472512
That's what I was referring to though, FAGs are about 2k more yen than Fumina. Enunciation is hard to convey with text, sorry.
>>13471566
Some of 'em.
>>13472455
Is there a pic from the front?
>>13472534
What about her legs? Can I plug her legs into other kits?
>>13472572
I wish I had a nice looking room like that.
>carpet
Oh, nevermind.
>>13472460
hmmm Not yet that I know of considering they seem to be mostly legs they still might work, wont be as tall I dont think but be pretty nice with the upper torso.
>>13472585
ye carpet is alright.
>>13472363
I have it. It's flimsy. A better modeler than I could make something of it, though.
after the MG Gundam X, now I want to go for something smaller, which one you guys think should I do next of these?
- RG RX-78-2
- 1/144 Huckebein Mk II
- RG Red Frame
- SD Soulgain
- HG Crossbone X-2
>>13472711
astrays as so ugly
>>13472711
RG Astray or the X2
i wanna make youtube vids senpaitachi but i don't know what to make them about
>>13472635
a better pic next to graze kai. Shitty comparison job coming up
>>13472745
Make them interesting, stick to a format, and keep them short and fast-paced. Kokujin Reviews is my favorite reviewer because he respects my time. Kakarot197 is my second favorite because he's a little more in-depth, but always gets to the point.
>>13472772
Its a bit off of course tried to get the pack of cigs to same size. the guy in comparison to the graze however is even longer legs from looks of it.
>>13472778
i was just thinking of doing build documentaries but I could do kit reviews maybe
>>13472795
Oh, sorry! I was just assuming! I'd much rather watch build documentaries.
>>13472790
even crappier attempt, I think this is about where the legs align socket wise.
>>13472795
Snapfag to relaxing japanese musics.
>>13472866
>>13472795
Yeah, and you can do followup videos where you do detail work or painting or something. That'd be good.

Hey /m/, how much layers of topcoat is acceptable?
Note to self: always have a bottle of Tylenol next to you whenever sanding down an FSS kit.
>>13473022
>>13473029
>>13473038
Really? That many? I thought 5-10 would be plenty
Only so many for topcoat or for all layers?
>>13473083
New to building here, in order to sand as good as you, do you need at least several different sandpapers in different grades from hard to soft?
>>13473118
Pretty sure they're being sarcastic. I think 2-3 is fine.
>>13473022
twelve minimum
>>13473130
You must not have been in this hobby long.
>>13473083
I can't imagine how many layers of primer that must have took to fill in those crevices.
>>13473118
They're just dicking you.
one or two is fine.

gotta use 5-6 cans per kit
>>13473244
When they let Okawara mold the original prototypes by hand.
>>13473293
They all use 3D CAD nowadays and laser CNC though.
Between this >>13473244, RG RX-78 and Origin fix figuration, which is the best looking 1/144th Gundam?

If scale isn't much of a factor to you, keep in mind the Revive comes out soon. Otherwise, have you looked at Dalong?
>>13473518
Just wait for the materia.
>>13473563
I wanted a 1/100 scale, I have the 2.0 hyaku shiki and chars zaku in that scale.
>>13473567
Ah, well I guess keep waiting for a bit. Check /toy/ also.
>>13473573
are they going to do a 2.0 for it?
>>13473565
from the pics I've seen I can't tell if I could just swap in the materia's waist into a gourai or stylet

HLJ claims everything they don't have stock of is discontinued you retarded newfaggot piece of shit
fuck off and die

Discontinued in HLJ terms just means they are out of stock and don't know when they can restock.
Should I top coat my first, unpainted gunpla?
>>13473674
Why not ?
>>13473669
He isn't new, but he is a massively retarded piece of shit
so after watching the 2 origin movies i decided i wanted to get char's zaku 2 since hes my favorite pilot and ramba rals gouf because hes the fucking man. only question is which versions should i get? i like the way the hgbf gouf looks but im completely undecided on which zaku to get. which is the best version of char's zaku?
>mfw Super Fumina was designed by Shimada AKA the same guy who designed the FAGs currently out
Just reposting my Stilettos
>>13473686
Duh, the origin version of course
Gonna be a long week/end but glad I finally bought this guy.
>>13473694
is the hgbf gouf worth it or are there better versions? i didnt like the origin prototype version.
>>13473574
>are they going to do a 2.0 for it?
Already have a third Stiletto but I'm probably doing a straight build of it since I have the weapon set pre-ordered.
>>13473678
I'm scared that I'll fuck up somehow.
Ok, I'm going to read up and man up.
Panel lining and decals before top coating, right?
>>13473729
Top coats go on top of everything, it's that simple. They help to seal panel lines and decals in too.
This thread lacks based Zudah.
>>13473705
What a qt, I want one for myself.
Arm joints in my RG Justice are loose, and he can't do fabulous poses with hands in the air. How can I fix this?
>>13473888
ive never had the problem of loose joints, but I have had the problem of tight joints because I painted the joint. You could try that
>>13473858
How to paint the white lines?

That's the best version. You can always wait for the revive which is coming out.

>>13473686
Gouf HG Revive or MG 2.0
>>13473906
Whats wrong with the grey?
>>13473905
Thanks, it worked.
>>13473914
It's just me. Don't like just how light they look.
>>13473901
Since when were you under the impression that silver panel lining looks good?
>>13473901
how bad were the seams and yea,black panel lines would have looked better
Anyone else getting one of these?
Charr is probably the pilot for this thing too lol.
>>13473901
Can't wait for mine to arrive.
The orange looks darker than in the show
>>13473968
Insanely bad, you can still see smudge left overs of the seams
>>13473962
Because the orange is quite dark, definitely look better with flash
Shit gritty pic without flash
>>13473987
Nah, I'll just paint a Mega Shiki in red.
>>13472363
>>13472380
Pure plastic magic from 1988.
I'm going to polish my skills before attempting to do this kit justice.

The show is over. What is there to support?
Imagine being dumb enough to attempt to dislike a mecha design based on the show it's in.

It's been a while since I finished something

PLUM kit, A.R.K from some game. Don't even know. Modded the backpack so that it goes up and down instead of parallel to the ground at the hips.

First time taking photos with new setup, it went well. Samsung S6 has a gorgeous camera. The finish on the kit is kinda shitty - got some dust in various stages of the process - so I tossed some of the more dramatic closeups.

Still, nice to not have to really treat anything with Photoshop later.
EX Standard is such a shit line.

Looks gorgeous anon. Great job
>>13474403
I think the Unicorn will be the only decent looking one since most of it is white anyways
>>13474286
Dust. The bane of painting but the kit looks gorgeous.
I have a S6 too but never got around to making a setup for pictures. Teach me senpai.
>>13474444
I hate dust too, good thing you can kinda trick it not to show on the camera
>>13474437
It's not just the stickers. Look at this.

Highlight:

>It is meant to allow the eyes of the kit to follow the viewer.

go back to reddit
>>13474499
my local network blocked reddit without any reason.
but i assume reddit is full of morons, how close is that
>>13474518
Yeah, they are idiots. It's basically
>omg so lewd lol
>It's such a big kit and it comes with all the GM Cardigan stuff so you're getting a lot for your money it's so great
>The creepy eyes are an artistic choice, just paint it and the spats
>(the part where the OP admits it's an uncanny piece of shit but that's because of snapfags and you can work around it, gotta stay positive)
>>13474530
So they are delusional and we accept the grim reality?

Also, video review.
Kind of funny how the Graze Kai and Super Blunder released at the same time, and when Super Blunder went on sale it sold out in half an hour and everyone was hype as shit while the Kai was "aw man, another Graze, seriously?" and now it's completely flipped.
>>13474530
Didn´t they also like Try?
They would eat up anything.
Can you guys just talk about gunpla instead of having the usual circlejerk over how much other websites suck?
>>13474460
Are you going for an Iron Man color scheme with this one? Either way, would like to see the final result when you're done.
I could see why straight oob builders hate the Super Fumina so much. Face is a nightmare, articulation around the waist is terrible because of the design, few weapons and the exclusion of the ability to use some like the sabers and gattling forearms. I actually think that Super Fumina has great potential with painting and kitbashing though, so I can't wait to see what they do with iton reddit.

1) Make or buy a photobooth. I'm using a Foldio 2 with diffusers (http://orangemonkie.com/product/foldio2-pre-order/) - ignore the URL, it's Korea, the product's out and shipping - it's not the greatest thing ever but it does the job for now, and I don't need extra lighting outside the box, and at 15" it's just the right size for MG and HG kits. I definitely build some stuff that won't fit in here, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.
2) Phone. Standard app. Pro mode. Set ISO to 100. Change your White Balance based on background color - Auto probably isn't correct. Set filter to either Standard or Vivid (check between the two for each different background color, it'll change how they feel). Leave camera focus on auto and just use the tap-to-focus function. Go back down to brightness and step down between 0 and -1 with -1 being "black background" and 0 being "white background".
Let the camera lie for you. The kit is much more solid green than this awesome blue transition feel that it has here, but the shadow tone of blues get exaggerated to what I wish it looked like in real life all over, especially on the black backgrounds.

So basically you're saying it's bad for what it is but good for its potential as a Frame Arms?

>good for its potential as a Frame Arms
If you're willing to sand down half the face/completely resculpt it, and thicken the torso with half a tube of putty.

Jesus christ, why does he talk like that?
>>13474748
He is probably trying to copy the style of some other reviewer like Kakarot or rrobbert in an attempt to be as engaging.

yea, you'd have to be an idiot to buy it just to display it oob
>but good for its potential as a Frame Arms?
if you're talking about FAGs, then you might as well buy a FAG instead. still i'm sure that someone out there is already planning a build with the Super Fumina to try and one up the FAGs. until then, it's will never get close to FAG quality even with mods
