***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, 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.

Please help, I would really appreciate a free display base
Hope janitor won't go full nuclear on this thread.
>>13536943
Dude no one knows what you're talking about.
Yelling HELP and linking to a post doesn't really explain much when your next comment make zero sense in the context of your poorly explained question.
>>13536943
Oops meant this one >>13533851, don't know why I quoted the other
>>13536970
Just try making a new account, or borrow a friend's phone and sign in on it. Jesus just try some shit yourself first
>>13536977
Thanks for the help shitposter
>>13536984
You're welcome shitposter
Reminder that SUPERIOR DRAGON
Worked some more on Fumina in between other stuff. Modded the arm gun parts so you could actually open them and add the gun parts in. It's not perfect but it looks good enough.
And of course no janitor will do a fucking thing about this
Are the toy threads free of shitposters or is it finally time for me to leave all together?
>>13537213
/toy/ actually has moderation so there's far less actual shitposting but it's really fucking slow. As in there hasn't been any posts since about 8 hours ago.
Did shitposter give up reviewing the G-Reco gunpla and resort to shitposting again?
Mg gyan or mg gnx
Id make the gnx look really shiny and chrome and the gyan I wanted to do in sengoku style
Help me pls
>>13537262
Not shitposting
>>13537270
Gyan if you can actually make it look decent and not

Here's your (you)
>>13537279
I was going to actually give him a yumi(bow) instead of going the stock standard katana route
This whole thread was a shitpost from OP onwards, its not gunpla in the op photo
>>13537304
Are you planning on giving it the uniform?Is it going to be a female gyan so you can use the chest protector?
>>13537370
why are you talking about yourself
>>13537370
What is spamming?Here's your (You) shitposter
>>13537370
>being retarded
>>13537370
Here's an idea, why not save image posts for people from /m/ to post their stuff instead of badly sized and saved images of reposted shit.
Or an even better idea, just kill yourself faggot
This shit posting is from the OG shitposter. Not G-reco shit poster but the shit poster who has always been spamming pictures since the begining of the general thread.
He somehow got past the mod screening process and is now a mod.
This is the dark age.
>>13537407
Ebin
>>13537407
the best part is there is no way to even do anything about it, reporting it gets you temp banned, the feedback thing hasn't answered a question since september and /qa/ is useless
>>13537361
I was going to maybe do a uniform with light armour
I thought men wore the chest protector
Anyone here have the MG rx-78 origin version yet?
>>13537431
iirc women wore it so their breasts wouldn't get hit by the bowstring
inb4 why didn't they just cut them off
>>13537421
This is fun isnt it...?
>>13536977
I'm the original poster of the reply he linked to. For reference just making a new account and attempting to buy from the app doesn't count, I attempted that.
>>13537480
My only other ideas are to either get a different phone ie borrow from a friend/family member who hasn't installed the app or just reinstalling the app itself since it's no longer tracked by google play
>>13537493
Well, keep trying things. If not, then that's just life.
>/m/ and /toy/ gunpla threads fucking suck
>reddit is reddit
I hate all of you. If I learn japanese will I finally be able to talk about gunpla in peace?
>>13537522
No, they will shun you for not being Japanese and call you a retard
Here's an idea. How about we stop using the gunpla general and just start making a new thread for every gunpla-related question/post like we used to do? You know, before the whole general thread cancer started
>>13537556
That's an awful idea. Will you general whiners just leave already.

I'm hoping to do more over winter break, I haven't built a kit for real in 3 months
Post more kits boyyyyas
>>13537647
They're quite well done! Looking forward to further work from you. I'm just starting my way into the finer side of gunpla, but weather and problems have plagued me along the way. In time though I'll be alright. Since you're a fellow lover of the Mock, what do you think of this?
It seems simple to do since I have the same gun as the Full Armor Gundam in 1/144 thanks to the campaign parts. The toughest part would be paint matching. For that there's the paint checker tool on scale model DB.
>>13537670
that looks nice, I like that you kept the gray under the chest
>>13537578
I really need to go and finish painting that shoulder
>>13537673
Thanks. I was trying to accurately copy the MG Full Armor Gundam scheme on a Mock, luckily the results seem ok. So then, are you looking forward to a mock gunpla battle?
>>13537638
>>13537687
Man that picture's quality is shit.
What are people working on now?
I'm almost done with my zeta gundam but as usual I gotta touch up some things.
Spray painting designs on is also rather hard.
I've got a Graze primed and I'm working on some other stuff, but I can't take pictures.
Right now I'm trying to figure out a decent Hyaku Shiki colour scheme that doesn't end up looking like the Delta Plus or is just grey. The Hyaku Shiki is a design that rejects many colour schemes by default. I'm not quite sure what to do with it.
Looks like HLJ restocked the Super Custom Zaku a few days ago. Anyone else manage to snag one?
>>13537556
Well people still do that right now if you check the /m/ catalog
post zakus
Well it was a good right. Faggot filled /toys/ thread.and what also looks like attention namefags

And it looked nicer too. Why, Bandai? Still, at least the modification manual shows a working set.

who the fuck is "astray"?
HLJ's Black Friday deal is going to be flat rate shipping
>>13538183
that sounds disappointing
>>13537806
HOLY SHIt THAT INSTAGRAM WHORE WAS NOT LYING
I commented her that she must have paid high mark up and she just said she saw it in a store her boyfriend also built a long time ago.
So she was implying that they were restocked and they FUCKING are
>>13538202
i dunno. if it's 1500 yen EMS for 10 HG kits or 5 MG kits then I'd say it's not a bad deal at all.
Can the HG Duel Gundam's Assault Shroud Armor fit on anything else? Even if it requires glue or whatever, it'd be cool to put all that armor on a Dagger or a GM or something.
I really hope the Jegan is getting the RE1/100 treatment next. None of the other mobile suits do it for me.
Well, maybe the Leo and the GM Sniper.
>>13537806
i wish they would fucking restock the 1/144 g gundam kits
>>13537806
Everyone got it restocked on the 19th.
And everyone seemed to have sold out by the 21st.
>>13538245
Why would they restock kits from molds that have to be over two decades old now? I like your optimism but be realistic, anon
>>13538244
>not the kshatryia
You're trying too hard.
Also, can someone explain to me what this "hi-res" model type is?
>>13538270
bandai reprints kits sometimes. It's still a bit too optimistic to hope for, but still
>>13538244
I want Xi and Reborns!
>>13538273
Probably better color separation oob vs the NG
>>13538244
Xi is going to be well over 10k yen and Kshatriya nearly PG price. Damn.
>>13538285
That doesn't look like the gunpla frame though. I'm not even sure it's made by Bandai. And the scale was not indicated.
>>13538273
Metal parts. Possibly a pre-constructed inner frame.
>>13538273
It is an injection model kit. It is more like a Kobukiya kit with parts prepainted and detailed right on the runner
The Hyakuren should be a fun build. The other Hyaku may have slightly inferior articulation.
On the other hand, solid gold runners.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dISuBAGxw4w
>>13538309
It was at Gunpla Expo, everything there is Bandai
>>13538317
Are the gold runners undergated?
>>13538354
Yes, the kit would be terrifying otherwise. The few parts that don't seem to be, like the beam saber, are painful to look at.
>>13538356
And on the plus side, when I pick up the mustard-coloured Mega Bazooka Launcher kit for painting purposes, the nub cleanup is practically non-existent.
>>13538361
I actually prefer the deeper brown gold because actually having it a shiny ass gold attracts fingerprints and I just don't like it tbqh
>>13538309
I think it's 1/100th.
![hj160101[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Gx3BEQQ.jpg "hj160101[1].jpg")
>>13538554
>>13538309
It is 1/100
>>13538569
I'm guess the pricepoint will be fairly high. Wonder just how high it'll be though. I'm gonna go rough and say $100 USD.
Just relinking the AK Garden/mecha girl thread.
>>13535831
>>13538573
Seems about right.
How the fuck does Hiro not have mods help the board? His waifu is /m/ and he has been shown to browse here during the Q/A session.
>>13538569
Shouldn't be more than 10k yen.
Armor is pre-painted and frame is pre-built.
In a way it is a HCM Pro.
>>13538629
honestly it seems more like a mix of Frame Arms and Metal Builds.
>>13538583

Is it too late to save those stickers
and
How do I avoid this from happening in the future?
>>13538657
You're painting, right? Why use stickers.
Anyway, you can seal-in stickers by spraying clear coats on top of them.
>>13538657
why are the thrones so ugly
what were they thinking when they designed these things?
Finished snapping this up, and I am going to paint the red on since the stickers were atrocious
>>13538604
Mods are site wide, not board specific. It just so happens that the current batch of mods don't really care about mecha enough to check in on this board. Plus there's only like one janitor on this board and he either is never around or doesn't care about plamo.
>>13538723
They cared enough to have banned TE in the middle of all of his spoiler/LP threads, though.
>>13538708
If you're painting you may as well line it and seam weld also.
>>13538760
I usually do, I just took a picture of the OOB kit
>>13538767
Ah, ok. I take it you are making a SEED collection? Not many people buy the Raider to my knowledge, though it does have some cool design aspects.
>>13538781
Yeah, I'm trying to own all of the Gundams with a few others such as the Dagger. I only collect the remastered versions as well, and the only one I don't own is the Calamity because of the price which is ironic considering how cheap it is at market price. I won't pay over $20 for the kits considering what they are, but if I see a deal I usually snag them.
>>13538798
Do you actually like the SEED show? Nothing wrong with certain designs, but some suits in the universe (The kooky Astrays like the Amatsu Mina come to mind) are far too much for my taste. I'll admit I don't mind the Dagger, ZAKU or Ginn/CGUE types.
>>13538821
I can understand why people hate a lot of designs, but the CE designs are my favorite. As well as SEED I can acknowledge the flaws in the show, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. SEED and Destiny were the last Gundam shows I watched due to myself avoiding them because of opinions on /m/. I agree that some of the designs from the Astray manga are a little too odd for my tastes as well, but I like the Blue Frame variants.
>>13538836
Well said, anon. I like your style. Got any other gunpla? Any customs?
>>13538836
for astrays, they're a bit versatile. fun to custom mod/paint.
>>13538842
The problem is you tend to have the "all the katanas and spikes I can fit on it and it has to be gaudy too" customs. See:Plenty of GBWC customs and Modelers-G.
>>13538853
yeah, i know what you mean.
i'm making a custom, but just minor modifications. I'll remove the face vents and give it a big ass gun and a shield ala' gouf
I have a set of those manipulator arms form the 2015 Campaign that I'd like to add to a kit. The area of the kit I want to add them to has no peg hole, so I'll be making my own. I've never done this before, so what exactly should I be doing to anchor it in there firmly? I tried drilling a hole in a discarded piece and inserting the manipulator arm's peg, and it just seems like such a loose, flimsy connection. I tried gluing a polycap on, but it always breaks off when I put the base peg into it.
>>13538864
Post WIP and lineart as always, never good to get midway in and see people notice there's something that doesn't make sense with it.
>>13538865
A few things I've learned/heard.
-Making increasingly bigger holes to check what size the hole need to be so the peg is secure
-Coat the peg in a topcoat/Future/etc that will give it more grip.
-If you need a more powerful connection there's things like glue and plastic cement
-The Bolden Arms Arms set is very useful for modding and whatnot
>>13538883
I do, I get feedbacks as I go along.
Also the "astrays are ugly" post as always
>>13538902
Cool, good luck. Similarly, I'm >>13537670. Do you have any opinion? Weaponry will be the shield-dual cannon (campaign part) and the bazooka from the Kurenai Weapon Pack on the backpack the Mock has, to copy the style of the Full Armor Gundam. And a beam saber, of course.
>>13538841
I have a lot of randomly assorted stuff along with non-Gundam kits. I would have to say the second largest portion of my collection is UC with my favorite being either the ZZ or F91. I really like late-UC grunts so I might pick up some of the old 1/100s as well. I have a few customs such as the Char's GINN I did a while back, but I'm fairly new to advanced methods with the only methods I have previously used being clean-up and panel lining.
>>13538864
Were you the one who posted the custom Astray earlier?
>>13538914
if you are referring to this, yes.
>>13538913
thanks anon
>>13538916
and this would be the shield. Exia only for mock up
>>13538916
Yes, I am looking forward to seeing it completed and I thought the color scheme was interesting. I am interested in how the weapons will compliment the Astray as well.
>>13538921
I'm basically copying the compliments of the Gray Zeta. Hence I call this the Gray Astray. I'm just torn who to pilot this. I have pilot figs of heero, kou and Jared from the Mk II.
Should I buy my bro the RX-78-2 The Origin MG or a Shin Matsunaga 2.0 Zaku II as a gift?
Little bro hasn't built a zaku or a grand daddy yet.
He likes the white zakus but also wants to build the rx-78 at some point, too. Which white devil do I choose, /m/?
So why haven't you built a Zudah yet?
>>13538935
don't really care for the design.
>>13538933
The Origin version isn't RX-78-2, it's RX-78-02
Also I dunno tbqhwy m8

>>13538935
I have.
>>13538918
>>13538931
The shield seems quite large compared to the model. Astray are known for very large weaponry but was that your goal? The concept is unique, but think about how it looks on the model. It seems (in my opinion) too circular for an Astray, they have many angles.
>>13538933
Not enough love for the White Wolf out there. If he's built any Gundam before, get him the Zaku for a very different build.
>>13538931
2/3 will probably result in it being destroyed so I'm not sure
>>13538933
I am usually a Gundam person but I really like Shin Matsunaga's Zaku II
>>13538935
I like the design but haven't gotten to purchasing one yet
>>13538933
Go for the RX-78-2 3.0 for a realistic approach or the 2.0 for a more '79 approach.
>>13538942
well i'm planning to cut a bit off the top so it should have that sharp surface again, it may change but otherwise that's the mock up of the shield/gatling combo
>>13538943
i'll just choose the Mk II pilot then, seeing it as generic. might paint it as Shin Matsunaga as well
Holy hell, the old HG zeta is a fragile son of a bitch. Thank god for plastic cement. I've had two parts break on me though.

The Turn A Gundam Shin looks pretty cool.
>>13539063
I really do like how it's a more Gundam-y take on the least Gundam-y design of them all, but that's exactly what makes others hate it. Oh well. just to wait for Samuel Decal to get his in.
>>13539066
I'd like to get one. I'm not normally a fan of Turn A but I prefer this design over the original version.
Oppositely, I prefer the original because it's so different yet familiar, but I just like the thought of a Gundam design lovingly made estranged then lovingly made more traditional by a different designer.

HG ZAKU II Garma Zabi for $11.95 + FS on Amazon. Pretty much MSRP, but it's overpriced from other parties or out of stock. Of course you could just stalk Mandy for a better deal.
If you use the promo code: DAVE6282N when you make your first purchase on the Amazon App you'll get $5 off your purchase.
My Hyakuri and Hyakuren came in today.
I really like the Hyakuri but I may build the Hyakuren first because it seems kind of unloved. Everyone seems to have a boner for the Hyakuri's unconventional design and the Hyakuren is sort of ignored.
I also don't get why they released the regular Hyakuren in November and the Amida one comes out next month, but it's literally the same kit with just a different gun but is 200 yen more. Why not just make them slightly more different and release them in the same month for 800 yen or something?
>>13539556
They don't typically release recolors in the same month because then their sales would compete with each other too much. The only exception to this I can think of is the MKII. People tend to have budgets for this kind of thing and if they put a month between thdm they will have a chance to be able to buy the other.
Plus it it keeps the kits from getting sort of stale. You buy one and build it and are satisfied. Then a month later you see the other is out, remember how fun the first was, and decide that having both would be nice.
>>13539570
That makes sense. But why is the Amida one 200 yen more?
>>13539573
People will pay more for a custom they don't have to paint themselves
It costs more because Amida is sexy as fuck.
>>13539570
>remember how fun the first was
I didn't enjoy building 3 different AGE-2....
I still have the AGE-3 variants untouched.
>>13539527
fuck off shill. no one cares about your shit ass amazon deals
As I thought, the stickers for the reflector parts were a nightmare. I had to rip one off and put it back on so it would stay right. However, I am not disappointed with the overall quality.
I might take off all of the reflector stickers. I don't really like them to begin with.
anyone have a clue how to repair the circled parts on MG Jesta?
because mine quite loose and tend to fall off often
>>13539700
if it's a peg and socket, apply a drop of future or super glue to the peg. let it dry for a day or more before you assemble and test fit. repeat if still loose
The overall quality of this is fantastic! This stand it comes with really helps with the posing.
>>13539727
Good job! I want to see more photos!
The gold didn't turn out as bright as I would have liked, but I am definitely glad I did not leave those parts unpainted.
>>13538883
Thanks senpai, I think I got it where I want it now. I'll use some Future on it to tighten up the manipulator arm as well.

If you want one you should grab one now imo. Pose ability sucks, but imo it looks pretty good to give that a pass. Only put it on my wishlist recently but Amazon had it going for $40+ before it was recently reprinted.

The Hyaku Shiki 2.0 was like 35% off on HLJ's autumn sale.

I rest my case.
>>13540162
I don't get it.
>>13538935
Because I don't have a place to airbrush yet and I want to give it the paintjob it deserves.
>>13540203
Don't worry anon. We won't know unless you post pics of it.
>>13540226
I would know. And that's all the difference in the world anon-san. All the difference in the world.That said, would still like to get to this level of skill with hand painting.
>>13538935
On the contrary, I've built a few.

Has anyone gotten the Origin MG yet?
From the sprue and manual pics on Dalong it looks promising, aside from the knees but they are tolerable.
Looks a bit like a hybrid of the 2.0 and 3.0 with the Origin bits.
I assume the LED unit to use in it is yellow?
Where are the Black Friday deals gonna be, senpai?
So I've read the guide and all, possibly getting some shit for Christmas. Never gotten outside of HG
Anyways, apart from the size differences are RGs better quality than MGs?
>>13540424
Yes, only get an MG if there is no RG of it or if you are ham handed.
>>13540424
Imagine MG quality, gimmicks, and articulation in a 1/144
I love my RGs
>>13540424
Depends on the MG. Depends on your standard of "better." MGs are more solid simply due to size alone and some are better engineered than RGs. MGs are also more impressive display pieces due to the size even though RGs have more surface detail than a lot of the older MGs.

Thanks, I'm looking at the Exia Ignition MG or the Exia with the expansion kit because cloaks are my fetish
>>13540438
>Those old HG Wing kits
Not a bad choice.
>>13540459
Actually while I'm at it, does anyone have the MG Exia Ignition kit? How does it stack up?
I was kinda hoping for a bit of a centerpiece, but if the RG is significantly better, I'd be fine with that.
>>13540487
I have it.
I haven't built it, though.
>>13540424
RGs are basically 1/144 MGs, but making it smaller brings issues.
They tend to be more fragile, the tolerances are much tighter so minor deviations can cause fitting issues and popped panels, and the Zeta's transformation is very fragile, you should only transform it once and leave it.
>>13540424
Are you new to the hobby? If so then don't buy an RG, I had an awful time when I started about a few years ago and a friend suggested the RG Mk II as a first kit. I basically fucked up every piece possible since I was a jittery mess and kept slicing off plastic because my hand would freak out. If you have the money then I really would suggest a modern MG as a first kit, the larger pieces are a godsend, plus it would look really good on a shelf.
