Gunpla/Plamo General

**READ THE GUIDE***

https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1Tr8UyF2Xg5Ojqw0sxcO7oIG7IIsJPes3lMO5pHZKu5o

***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.

I don't hate the Hovergogg idea with the Zeong body, but I think your harpoons idea is tasteful. The only thing I would offer is to consider attaching them to legs instead of the arms, like the Kampfer's panzerfausts. It'd just be something different, I guess. I don't know if it would actually look all that good as I don't know how big those harpoons are.

>>13563367

For that I recommend one coat of topcoat first, the powdered stuff benefits from the added texture a great deal.

I'd be putting the harpoon launchers on the backpack, since on the arms it would look strange. The claws are already a weapon on the arms, so no reason to add more there. Especially with the square shape of the guns, which would mesh with the fairly square-like backpack.

Done with both legs. Quite a bit of hollow space inside.

Help me out team. I'm entering a gunpla contest at my local store. I'm going to have to draft three of the following kits against I believe 15 other teams. I then have to build a GBFT-style team of three customized gunpla from it.

how much work are you doing here

is this a model contest or like a tabletop game
>>
>>13564001
Since nobody answered seriously, they're two cards for an arcade game in Japan called Gundam Tryage, they're a first-run bonus with HG Barbatos

You can put them in a GP Base
>>
>>13564162
The contest is a model building competition. You build three models and then they get put in a head-to-head comparison on social media. Whichever model gets the most likes-or-equivalent wins.

I'm not real worried about the rules or anything, it's just a fun excuse to build models with a specific goal in a timeframe.

I don't know what you mean by "how much work". I airbrush, do pla plates, kitbash, and so on. I'm not a great modeller by any means and I'm slow (it takes me a month to build a High Grade on average), so I look forward to the challenge. It also lets me meet others in my local gunpla community, which I didn't know was a thing.
>>
>>13564113
>Palace Athene
>Nu Gundam
>GM Sniper II

None of them are super hard builds except the Nu thanks to its funnels, so all of them should register fairly high on the quality of the build scale so they'll have improved performance. Nu for close in beam sabers and funnel support of itself. A self sufficient unit. The GM for long range precision support and firepower while the Athene is hit-and-run/mid-range and supports the other two as they need it. My most accurate friend I'll force into the Jim, grab the Athene for me and get one of my other friends for the Nu. I may have to trade him depending on who is better with funnels.
>>
>>13564183
Thanks for that. Guess I'll sleeve them up and look at my pretty cards. I was planning on getting duel company pilots to go with my kits, guess I'll look into this as well.

Yes. I don't really care about that. It's just a chance to build some different models and stuff with a challenge attached, plus trying to tie a theme across three models that might not have any relationship. I might not get to draft a Z'Gok, Gogg and Juaggu. There's also some models on the list that I wouldn't normally really go for.

Like all the modelling I do, it's really just for my own shits and gigs.

I know this might be a weird question but how do you guys choose what gunpla to buy?

I used to make impulse purchases when I find gunpla in physical stores and order kits online based on their engineering, color seperation, articulation, and how much I give a shit.

Now days everything seemed either not worth buying or not my thing, I literally lost the desire to buy new kits, except maybe the upcoming RE efret and Gusion from IBO.

Is this what adulthood feels like
>>
>>13564826
Not really, it sounds like you're just not interested in new kits.
Which is completely fine and normal, you know? There's a potentially infinite amount of kits in the making, you're not going to like ALL of them.

To answer your question though, it's primarily design for me. If I like the design, I'll probably buy it unless I find later that the engineering is shit, or the color separation is nonexistent

I put the cannons on the back, like you said but i also added the extra arm things that held the shields on the cardigan, but i added the autocannons that came with the cardigan add-on thing to the shield.
I also added the forearm alex cannon things to the arms and painted them navy blue. I also added a bit of armor and thrusters from the builder's parts add-ons and put some thrusters on the back of the legs. But I feel like it could be more. Any ideas on where to put some additional armor or thrusters?

Why not just combine the old model with the Gyagya? You'd literally only need to fit the head and the shoulders onto the new kit

Okay, like, look at TV version Sandrocks' shapes. The way the pauldrons sweep out but still match along with the angular curvature of the skirt armor, and with the head crest. In addition, the ankle coverings and their shapes continue this trend and also flow with the shape of the legs splendidly. All of these go together so well in making the Sandrock look really solid and 'heavy', with the Heavy Arms being the only other equally as 'dense' looking from the original five. At the same time it is also very round without being actually round. Its a very clever use of shapes, to make it look like cuirass or breastplate. Even the shotels add to this, being round but not too round, exaggerated just enough and huge but not the unwieldy mess that is the Endless Waltz version.

Then we get into the color apps, which is honestly what the Deathscythe wishes it was. It has a good blend of just a few colors that draw interest into its torso, the pauldrons and especially legs being that sparse white only draws your eye into the chest, which is frankly very beefy compared to the other Gundams besides Shen Long and Heavy Arms, and of course Tallgeese. The colors on the chest also form a T shape, further emphasizing the shape of the overall torso and giving it a distinctly masculine feel. The red Gundam chin being done across the entire 'jawline' as a separate piece is also clever and gives it a stylized beard, adding to that (middle) eastern masculine warrior motif they were going for.

The only out of place element is the shield, and mostly because its practically a flat plate, and thankfully they either forgot about it or hid that half the time.

Then when I go and look at the Sandrock Kai its just..

con't

Correct me if I'm wrong but Katoki did that one, and his usual habit of super long (skinny) legs and big pauldrons but otherwise skinny torsos and arms plays against every one of the Sandrock's original visual attributes. The legs don't flow as well, the skirt armor isn't even the same shape or size and looks more 'generic Gundam', the waist is cinched almost comically, the pauldron's layered almost pangolin-esque shape plays against the flow of the armor everywhere BUT the skirt, the jagged shape of the head crest also fights against it, and the shotels.. well the shotels are silly i'm sorry. I'd be fine with anime huge(r) versions of the old ones, but these things just look unwieldy without any sort of cool, say, giant arm attachment to wield them with.

It looks cool up until it ditches the Maganoc suits and cloak, then it just turns into an unwieldy mess that loses any of the solidity and coolness of the old one. Even the color selection isn't as enticing as TV Sandrock with that dull blue and light greys, and while red add some pop its not enough to save it - plus Katoki ditched the Gundam beard which is a no-no in my book.

He scrapped a lot of stable, subdued, and yet strong visual features in favor of harder geometric patterns and over all another skinny, frankly gaudy, mess.
>>
>>13565081

I forgot to add, Sandrock being the 'heaviest armor Gundam' was also a selling point for me, and I feel like that added into its vaguely Sikh-esque death dervish holy warrior aspect. Katoki cut that down significantly. But then he also did the same to the Shen Long and Altron, who both had great torso designs (even if they are G Gundam knock offs) and I.. I guess i'm older now and don't find the visual gimmick of the arm-dragons or Zero Custom's angel wings engrossing anymore. Not when simple but solid Sandrock was there waiting for me all these years later.

I curse my younger self for hating Sandrock simply because Quattre piloted it.

>>13565046

Are they both roughly n the same scale? or use remotely similar construction for the shoulders? I can do a little cutting, but i'm afraid of fucking it up and making it so they don't fit..or end up so loose they fall off constantly.

They're both 1/144 but I don't own either of them.

That's the RG right? The connection between the torso and waist are kinda weak and tends to fall off during manipulation, so you might wanna thicken the male connector with some superglue or paint.

>>13565479
I limit myself to one at a time right now, currently taking it very slow since I don't have the time to paint. So on weekends I spend a bit of time getting parts for my Barbatos off the runner and finely sanding them up. The extra time in between is giving me time think about how exactly I want to paint the details and what parts of the inner frame to paint.

- skirts from Fenice Rinascita

I was eyeing the Zaku II to hang out with my Char's Origin Zaku.

Destiny and Mk II also looked cool, but I've built a bunch of Gundams at this point.

Basically, Destiny, Mk II, or Zaku?
