Gunpla/Plamo General
Sorry for the Shitposting Edition

***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.

>How's the O Gundam kit?

Actually pretty great. Much better than the exia RII.

>>13555129
Right now I would give it to one of the Graze. The frame is even better than on the Barbatos and because its a simpler design it has less color apps everywhere that require painting.

Quick question for you guys, how long will a bottle of 10mL tamiya enamel last if I were painting armor for an MG? I went straight from snapbuilds to lacquer and I never had to use it before and I need a base coat for candycoating.

It sounds like you want a final battle set, but consider getting the rollout ver 0 Gundam instead, for the sick WoL that the regular one doesn't come with.
Other than that though, it has pretty solid engineering, as it lacks the balljoint style legs that came with some 00 kits.
Unfortunately every Exia kit except ameijin inherits this problem, so the R2 is gonna have some wonkier engineering, including those infuriating shoulder-chest pieces AND ball jointed legs.

Cool, it's a simple design but I like it, nice to hear the kit is solid.
>>13555229
>consider getting the rollout ver 0 Gundam instead,
I actually had for that exact reason.
As for the joints, I was figuring I'd put them on stands anyway. Thanks.

Say, if I got both versions of O since it's so cheap, would the "wings" be able to be affixed to the final version easily enough? I mean I could always do a little work myself, but just curious.
I know it's not true to form, but rule of cool.
>>
>>13555261
They are the exact same mold, so yes. The rollout version came with the wings, the other one came with the condenser parts.

Yes, the only work it would require is swapping some backpack pieces, because Rolloutver uses a different kind of GN drive backpiece that only comes with that version of the kit

Dammit, you got me again HLJ. And before anyone says it, I know the quality sucks, and the gelgoog is so I can steal the bazooka an backpack for my HGUC gelgoog and repaint it.
>>
Bandai please just a quick reprint of the g gundam kits please it won't be that much
>>
>>13555460
You dont use clear coat on bare plastic, its unnecesary, you use it to protect the paint you are panel washing on
>>
>>13555460
Not with lighter fluid. But enamel paint and enamel thinner itself will erase acrylic.

I dunno how would you do a wash without enamel thinner. (Never tried lighter fluid though, just used it for erasing botched enamel paint)
>>
>>13555226
10mL will last a very long time out of an airbrush with proper technique. I can't tell you "four HGs" because there are so many variables, but a few drops of paint goes a long way.

>>13555425
um this looks hype as fuck buddy. What type of paints are you using? Super smooth.
>>
>>13555496
>>13555460
Lighter fluid acts as thinned but just for some minutes, after you panelwash the panel lines it will evaporate and leave the enamel paint on its place, really easy method and even better than using enamel thiner

I'd much rather just trade it for another kit or something, but nobody has any of the G Gundam kits.

Oh also, hobbywave is having 15% on up to ten items.
And they also have one of those SD bound docs. I think I'll get one.

I'm curious, now that Bandai makes kits using that poly whatever plastic instead of whatever they used before and abs, are all versions of previous kits now made using the new stuff? For example, mg oyw rx-78-2 has abs leg frame, is this now new plastic?
>>
>>13555823
Thanks anon
>>
>>13555850
>are all versions of previous kits now made using the new stuff?
No. Old kits use old plastic formulas. The tolerances of the old kits would be quite different with new material anyways so it's not so simple as swapping in the new soft ABS.

ABS is what the inner frame of most MGs is made of.

Hell this runner in the MG Gundam 1.5 is the only ABS in the kit and it is from a kit from 2002, The RGs probably derived their casting method from it.

Re/100 is still a new line and they might be trying a new campaign to sell units.

After all the Efreet is the first of the ten? to get a kit.

Overall it feels like Bandai is making a general push with 1/100th models as well.

A sonar or sensor type of weapon for finding enemies.

How does wet sanding work with sanding sticks (sandpaper glued onto posicle sticks, in my case)? I've only done it with metal files. After dipping the sanding stick into water and using it for a sanding session should we throw it out?

Just rewatched part of that ep, we never see it in action. Worth noting that the unit it was equipped on had all the communication shit strapped on to it, so treating the shield as a hardpoint for more radar and tracking shit doesn't seem so bad in that context.

How do you guys get rid of the remnants of nubs you've made flat, like these? They're no longer sticking upwards like a nub does, but I'm not able to get them to go away.
I'm >>13559305 and am using wet sanding stick. Going from 400 grit -> 1000 ->1500 -> 2000. Planning to prime when I'm done with snapping and welding and all, since that's certainly a factor.
>>
>>13559482
Lick it with your tongue a lot.
>>
>>13559487
That's a dumb way to troll, at least make it somewhatconvincing like saying I should sand super hard with a file.
>>
>>13559482
those are stress marks

don't cut the nubs all off with your hobby knife. sand the last 10% off with sandpaper to get less marks like that on your plastic. or you can file it down all the way instead then sand away.

it won't matter if you're doing a paint job though since it'll be covered, but a bumpy nub will be obvious even through paint
>>
>>13559494
That's what I was looking for, I appreciate it. What do you mean in term of using a file? Like, sand the whole nub flat with a file, then use lighter sanding grits to clean it off?

>>13559608
it's ok. Too much footage of the actual anime, and that shit will get you in huge ass trouble with bandai/sunrise on youtube. I recommend you get rid of the footage if you can.

Also, do more research on pricing and stuff. Barnes and Noble was bound to jack up the price, but most people who are into the hobby already know about sites like hlj, etc, where they get much better prices.

You need to be super careful about that copyright shit, again, having the theme at the end might fuck you.

You had some decent line delivery, but when doing a review, focus less on jokes and more on details about the mobile suit.

When I watch a review, I look for someone to talk about the surface details, articulation, etc. The review was lacking in such detail. Good luck, anon.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the missile launcher to be on the left shoulder, with the grenade launcher held in the left hand? Then it can shoot grenades and the bazooka and missiles all at the same time.
>>
>>13559608

My tips so far, just as a viewer
1. Get to the action, most people watching a review know why they are there, and if they want to know about you in particular, you can make a separate video

2. Spend more time on the text you put on screen, capitalizing each first letter for example, and if you have text over video, add a stroke outline so it doesn't look like MS paint come to life

3. Don't say "fucking" so much you fucking sperg, it's normal time when you're on youtube

4. Watch your video over again when you are done and say to yourself, if I didn't make this would I actively seek it out, and for what reason

I guess that'd work. I just haven't really gotten around to mounting the launcher yet, and even if I did the shoulders are interchangeable. I've been working on the sniper unit which, unfortunately, I can't show because it currently has some glue drying and I want the backpack on before I show it off.

>>13559652
There's actually no EZ-SR in there. I was going to use the Intruder backpack but it was too big with the bazooka mounted on the shoulder so I decided to give the Heavy the Graze Kai's backpack so it had some kind of booster. Thruster? Vernier? What the fuck do you call those things?

Anyway, I am giving it one of the shoulder cannons in it's load out.

so much intro, animeshit.

HG Freedom was my very first gunpla, I'm kinda tempted into picking another Freedom. RG, HGRE or wait for MG 2.0.

Your opinions are okay, but make more footage of your building process, tell us about the step by step you took to build your gunpla, what tools. etc etc

less anime footage, more pictures of your own. Instead of showing shaky videos, you should just use some well taken pictures of your own.

At very last, good job with your first review video, keep doing it and improving.

>I assume this means I have succeeded?

>>13559683
I've tried the AC games and I can't seem to figure them out at all. I should really commit some time to figuring it out because they seem really fun.

I wasn't really going for an AC look, I just wanted a Graze you wouldn't want to fuck with because it'll blow you up six ways to Sunday.
>>
>>13559608
less talk about the anime the kit is from
more talk about the actual gunpla

I swear there was 20 seconds or less of OC footage, though it was from a shaky potato POV that didn't have the whole gunpla in view.

Probably, that's a bad habit born out of bandai making good kits that generally fit the first time. Even then there are some parts that can be difficult to separate that you need to think about, and the first build helps that.
>>
>>13559740
I can see so many ways that would go wrong
>spend hours painting a piece
>put kit together
>another piece completely covers the piece you just painted
>>
>>13559749

You can see if that will happen by looking at the manual. Also I only paint kits that I have already straight built before.
