***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.

Old thread: >>13536888
>>13542474
Cool threads. Would be a shame if a mod were to delete it.
So apparently Revive Qubeley is getting articulated fingers just like the Super Fumina.
Guess what arrived!!
shitpost-kun must have gotten tired of using a trip with all this shitposting recently
I like gunpla
>>13542490
Drugs!!!
So Mega Size Zaku/Char or RX-78
>>13542594
Might as well just get the PG
>>13542602
I just want a Mega Size for shits and giggles
>>13542616
Can't go wrong with Grandpa Gundam
>>13542594
RX-78
Far ruference
That upset that noone on toy was bothered by you snapfagget?
>>13542786
Ran out of pictures. Different anon though.
I think what I'll do is take off le reflector stickers and instead apply a glossy clear coat to make it look animation accurate.
>>13542830
Nobody cares unless you actually do it and even then it's a hard sell
>>13542830
Wow that looks great! I suggest just glossing the stickers.
>>13542786
Wow you finally got shit poster to say what we already know >>13542792
Unless you are the third shitposter who makes bait posts.
>>13542836
>it's just shitposter pretending to not be shitposter to fish for more (You)s
>>13542843
You wish
>>13542851
>look how hard he's trying
>>13542864
That image isn't gunpla
Okay, I'll just come back in an hour or so when it's past your bedtime. You really got me.
>>13542883
Since we have a spammer who actually communicates, may I ask for where the purpose to repost comes from?
>>13542883
Remember its thanksgiving so his school is prolly out and mommy wont mind if hes up past his bedtime
>>13542889
Jewbacca
>>13542889
Wouldnt be surprised if he has an imgur or has it in his harddrive.
>>13542895
You get a prize!
>>13542894
>>13542895
No, I mean like why go into a thread you seemingly don't like and repost the same MG Dolan or my_gunpla_collection.jpg over and over?
>>13542900
To start discussion.
>>13542900
Autism, Neet, or he's actually that guy who got kicked out of his house because of gunpla issues
>>13542904
Bored housewife
if spammer is on /m/ just post in /toy/
if spammer is on /toy/ just post in /m/
>>13542903
Doesn't really start discussion without something to discuss. If you started with something on the lines of "Hey look at these GBWC entries from the Philippines" or "Rate my current project, any advice?" that generates discussion. Right now the discussion's more on you than what you're posting.
hey shitposter why don't you use porn images, that'll piss people off more
>>13542900
Oh autism. When i was a kid growing up i used to go to church. For some reason they really liked me working with the lil kids (like preschool to kindergarten) and there was this autistic kid who would always talk about the same thing every time i saw him.
>>13542938
Thats honestly cute. But yea if you wanna kill the thread why not post gore or something fucked up?oh yea mommy and daddy prolly check your history for any nono pages
it's spammer's bedtime, post gunpla
How bout finishing one bar before going to the next one kid?
post zakus
>>13542997
I would post mine but last time only reply i got was fromsnapfagget
>>13542997
Did we ever get a follow up on that HG Revive #200? I'm pretty sure the expo is over.
>>13543028
impulse
>>13543028
Nope, it's a secret
BB 400 is the only "special" one actually revealed
>>13543033
That was a different display entirely
In the same section, granted
r9k is leaking
>>13543028
A Z'gok? legs look curved, in a segmented way. Plus the feet look a bit big
>>13543045
you're right, I just remembered beer and bubbles when I read the #200 Revive post and thought of the Impulse right away
>>13543061
Looks like a zgok
>>13543043
>FB ver. Michael Bay
>>13543073
I recently just built a Z'gok so my opinion is biased, but here's what I see from the #200 Revive
Impressive dedication.
>>13543081
Yea the other type with extendo arms that got screen time in unicorn. Thats what it looks like to me
>>13543061
>>13543073
Seems like a weird choice for that though
Like the BB one is the ultimate form of Knight Gundam, and the HG one is just a kit that has a perfectly fine HGUC with less faults that the other things they've Revive'd so far and an absolutely fantastic RG? Just strikes me as a strange choice
>>13543116
Meant this one.
That sillohet reminds me of it
>>13543116
One thing though is that the old HG one doesn't use any poly caps for the leg and arm segments and supposedly wear out fast, so Bandai could just be updating that as well as updating it's proportions. Plus didn't all the revives so far have RG counter parts within recent years, except for most of the Zeon/Neo-Zeon Revives that were anounced
>>13543129
Guncannon and Impulse don't have RGs but
I mean, I dunno, it just seems a reeeeally odd choice
>>13543125
Well that would be just dumb, the HGUC Zogok is way too recent for a Revive
>>13543142
I know. But i wouldnt be surprised if they repackaged it under the 0079 line instead of unicorn. But i am gonna guess it might be an aquatic type or something oddball outta nowherehopefully g-savior
>>13543061
I just want a revive GM or origin gm damnit.
>>13543081
I'm putting my money on a GP-01 or an Alex. Both have old hg's, wider legs, and the lead gundam status makes them a good fit for a #200. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's more seed shit.
>>13543138
>>13543157
>>>/toy/5299626
Gogg 100% confirmed
>>13543061
i wonder if the kit comes with the giant glass of beer to display it in
>>13543160
Even weirder to be honest, at least Z'Gok has Char marketing behind it
>>13543160
>>13543157
Its zeta as of now. All we can do is just take shots in the dark
Seriously kid do you want me to make you a trophy that says "#1 builder that removed gunpla from 4chan"?
He has to wait a minute, then do the captcha, then upload the images, then post it. He does this for hours. What kind of lack of life do you have to have for this? To mildly bother people?
>>13543217
He seems keen on taking pics from toy. They already cleaned that up but i just finished this
>>13543217
What is a pass
>>13543229
Nothing but a miserable pile of mommys money
>>13542830
>doesn't even panel line
>doesn't remove nubs
>all of a sudden gonna apply a glossy clearcoat
suuuuurrrrrreeee you are buddy.
make sure to post pics of it when your done/ruin it more since i love the reflector pack and keep dying a little more inside as i watch you butcher it
>>13543232
I wish, I work hard for that money.
>>13543255
Outta containment
>>13543255
fuck off, that's what's happening here
>>13543262
Apparently hes the "cure" to get mods attention
>>13543255
Can't report you on mobile
>>13543255
>>13543265
It's not going to work, they'll just delete that image and ignore the rest.
We actually had a mod who used to delete the spam early on the first few times it happened. Whatever happened to that guy?
>>13543280
He became the spam
>>13543242
>make sure to post pics of it when your done/ruin it more since i love the reflector pack and keep dying a little more inside as i watch you butcher it
if you love the reflector pack where is yours? I'd love to see it!
>>13543280
he probably got tired, this same shit is happening every day.
>>13543285
I'm proud of you.
>>13543217
>implying he doesn't have a vibrator firmly planted in his anus the whole time
>>13543217
>What is a script?
>>13543310
>somebody will be banned for this
>meanwhile snapfag will remain unmolested
this was not well thought through
Five Swords..
>>13543368
I have 5 tries...
Stickers off! Ah, yes! Much better.
But seeing as I'm not using the reflector, I'll do what Happa said and fold it up!
>>13543458
>literally no detail
definitely shitposter's work
>>13543476
don't forget the nubs
>>13543285
i don't have one because
a) i dont like g reco enough to pay for a p bandai of the only g self i like
b) the never made a HG Hecate so fuck g reco
c) and most of all you ruined all g reco kits for me, congrats shitposter-kun, mission accomplished
>>13542486
For reference
>>13543316
>implying mods come to /m/
>>13543458
What unbelievable shit. You spend your parents money on a p-bandai kit, then don't even bother with doing even the most basic of detailing. You're such a disappointment.
>>13543061
>A Z'gok?
I'll put that down as the worst case scenario.
Plz h8 on me m8s
Show me your toolboxes
>>13543736
>tfw your toolbox is just a pencil case.
Are any of the Seed HGs worth getting? Or at least, are any of them better than the 90's Wing HGs?
>>13543524
Welp, that's gonna break. Poor Quebley. Either I can't buy you or I'll just have to put you a case and never touch you.
>>13544132
I would say they're at the very least better than the Wing 90s kits, and it really depends on what you want. From my experience the later kits in the line are better, but the Aegis has most of the molded parts only suffering from transformable mobile suit syndrome
>>13543736
I have 2 of these 3 drawer boxes. One is full of paints, one is full of tools. Plus whatever is scattered all over my desktop because I'm a slob.
>>13543517
You are so retarded
>>13544212
Not him, but I see where he's coming from with the shitposter ruining whatever good (lol) G Reco kits there were. Every time I see one, I instantly think of a shitty poorly exposed cell phone pic of a nub filled mess. Kid needs to invest in some sandpaper and a desktop lamp at the very least.
![IMG_2355[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Sx96DTD.jpg "IMG_2355[1].jpg")
>>13543736
>not having your tools all over the place like a slob
I've considered buying a fair-sized tackle box lately to store this stuff in all organized-like. A large enough one could also be used to store in-progress build parts separated from each other.
>>13542616
It's a good choice. I think everyone should have one, they are super fun
So sad this young man has decided to throw his life away
Ordered shit on Amiami for the first time a few hours ago.
How long does it usually take for them to say the shipping price and then send the stuff after you confirm payment?
>>13544317
a day or two
>>13544204
Are you me? Because that is my exact setup.
Except my drawers are white.
>>13544247
If what the post says are true then shitposter is a bored housewife/husband
>>13544137
You don't trust "muh Bandai" quality? I think it will be fine so long as you don't ham hands it.
>>13544470
Are you currently trying to work on 3 kits at once?
>>13544699
Cutie girls.
shillago is in full defence mode since he cant ignore people
>>13544699
Yea i think that might be him
>>13544733
Graze-chan is the cutest one of the three.
>>13544699
>>13544741
Does Elmer's glue actually have a modeling application?
>>13544741
Why is the left arm frame exposed? Does it do that when you move it? Ive never built a graze yet
>>13544746
I haven't finished building it yet. I just wanted to see how things like the ezsr boosters looked on it and was fiddling with the frame last night for fun.
>>13544744
I explained it over on /toy/. I use it for diorama stuff.
>>13544699
Show the Super Fumina's face pls.
>>13544759
I fixed the eyes and am going to move onto fixing the other parts of the face once I get a lightbox set up so I can take some decent pictures. I'm planning on making a "how to unfuck SF's face" guide.

>>13544777
I have a plan on how to fix it and honestly after its been sitting around a couple days the ankles and rubber parts bug me more than the head.
>>13544757
>>13544773
Oh cool. I think its neat your making a guide for her, but wont it only help out like 5 people between here and /toy/? Or do you plan on putting it on a imgur?
hlj has their blackfriday deals up fi you haven't checked
>>13544744
I'm not USB Desk-kun but I use Elmer's to make my sanding sticks.
>>13544914
>not even CP
weak
Gendum MkII comes with an inner frame.
It's beautiful.
>>13545000
wait is that the revive? shiet
>>13545027
Yes. Day one.
>>13545027
a lot of the newer HGs have a partial inner frame, I love it
>>13545058
as a consumate kitbasher, i don't
>>13545073
That's what the BF line is for though
>>13545079
no, it isn't
and even if it were, being herded to a single line isn't a good thing
>>13545073
Get good.
>>13545093
that's exactly why i don't love it
>>13545101
just buy action figures
>>13545147
>action figures
>easier to kit bash
>>13545158
shitposter pls
>>13543058
Astrays are so ugly
>>13545158
Im pretty sure legos would be easiet for you kid
>>13545190
nah, it'd be a choking hazard for the shitposter
>>13545197
So then duplos? Those are pretty bigunless hes used to sucking on big things
Have you prayed to Jesus today?
>>13545321
i would've loved a new MG Gyan, or a new Zeong instead.
>>13545165
>point out downside to the current direction being taken
>called a shitposter
these threads deserves the shit it's taking
>>13544744
If you got a loose joint you can put Elmers glue to make it a tighter fit. Sounds retarded but it actually works
>>13545321
When I eventually get my Revive Freedom, then yes.
>>13545404
The current MG Gyan is pretty good aside from the head being a little fiddly, and needing a shim for the battery in the beam saber.
>>13545413
you mean Freedom 2.0
>>13545428
I'm not a MG kind of guy.
>>13545419
Zeong 2.0, then. i'm in the process of completing my lineup OYW-era zeon MGs (including the side stories and whatnot)
also
>a shim for the battery
>shim
pardon my narrow vocabulary, but what
>>13545428
The 2.0 is going to be glorious. The HD strike rouge made my heart go doki doki.
>>13545453
noun
1.
a washer or thin strip of material used to align parts, make them fit, or reduce wear.
I used a bit of index card underneath the battery to keep it better contact with the contacts.
>>13545321
I'll worship him next April with the 2.0 MG
Hyaku-Shiki 2.0 for $50 + FS on Amazon
I'm concerned my nippers might be losing sharpness, as they are over two years old now. Is there a tool or something that sharpens nippers?
>>13545685
use sandpaper to sharpen it
HG RGM-79 GM $6.93 + FS on Amazon
GUNDAM MK2 Ver 2.0 $30 + FS on Amazon
>>13544773
Moving the eyes into the front really makes it better.
Sanding down the face would have helped too
>>13545713
That is normal price
And IMO the MK II is not that good. I got it building it.
The part separation is awful and the 80s color tones are bad with the purple grey. Wobble legs
Still a good MG but not worth it when the RG is out
>This thread
Should we just migrate to /toy/ or something? The shitposting is really starting to get fucking out of hand.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually prefer the imagedump w/ dumb filenames days.
