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.

The sad thing about this custom is that it was a good idea on paper but the execution was so poor I've lost all interest in doing something like this.Also the Super Fumina proportions are wack as fuck.

Its a hugbox man, same as r-gunpla. They aren't interested in improving or getting feedback, they want a pat on the back and attention.
Hey /m/ how are you guys doing?
So, I'm getting pic relate as my first gunpla this x-mas, anything useful or handy I should know?
>>13608089
Read the guidefaggot
>>13608089
Its a brick in destroy mode with weak anlkes and the knees like to collapse back into unicorn mode at the drop of a hat.
>>13608089
In all honesty it's a pretty bad kit; Because of the transformation gimmick it's fragile, has terrible articulation, and unless you cement it together has a tendency to straight up fall apart or collapse. You're probably going to break it one way or another.
I'd recommend you save it for later when you know what you're doing.
>>13608089
My least favorite mg
>>13608089
Try and snag an HG to get some experience before tackling the Unicorn MG. Trust me, you're gonna make a mistake or two. It's better to fuck up on some 10$ HG than the MG you're excited about. Also get an action base. It's very useful when dealing with brick kits.
>>13607974
>dat dragreder at the back
anyone here has ever tried making a kamen rider custom with a hg or mg?
>>13608089
It's not a bad kit. It is however, a disappointment to those MG fans who wanted a Unicorn able to transform into either mode at a whim, instead of being limited to one or the other like the HGs.
The problem is that the scale is still not large enough for this to work effectively. Great idea on paper, terrible in execution. In Unicorn mode, its stiff and inarticulate. In Destroy, its flimsy and a bit fragile.
The comprise made to both forms to allow for the transformation created what amounts to a mediocre model on both fronts, which is one of the reasons why there was such a push for a PG capable of doing the same, but fixing the majority of the problems that made the MG lackluster.
My advice on the MG its to decide which mode you prefer the gundam in, and leave it that way. Kinda defeats the point of having the transformation as a feature, but will save you alot of grief in the long run.
I went through two MG UC before I learned this lesson.
>>13608259
wait, its still that bad? wasn't this supposed to be a improvement over the ver Ka that was the first unicorn MG release?
Look who stopped for an early Christmas.
Anyone else treat themselves to an early present?
>>13608288
I expect something related by next week, not gunpla but a metal build, which is as good or even better
>>13608278
The Animation ver just included a new head piece which had vulcans the ver ka didn't. It also fixed the articulation in the knee bend, letting it bend more than 90 degrees
>>13607999

Thanks for the feedback guys, im pretty much a total newb when it comes to gunpla but theres no way I would save it for later.
Gonna read tons of guides and if everything goes to shit im just gonna leave it as unicorn mode.
>>13608278
The OVA version is slightly better than the ver. Ka in terms of stability and flexibility. But it's more like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound than giving it sutures. Or a pile of shit from a vegetarian. It's not going to stink quite as much, but it's not going to smell like potpourri.
>>13608302
Oh, damn, beamknight. You picking up the MB Freedom or something else?
>>13608339
>MB Freedom
the Exia Repair actually. After seeing lots of reviews, the MB Freedom came with plenty of quirks and I never liked the more recent SF that was just released
I was thinking about getting the vanilla Exia, but that shit is really, really expensive, while the Repair version is more unique and has a certain charm to it, not to mention I got it at its original retail price
I also plan to get the reissue of the Destiny when they announce it
>>13608305
It lets it bend 90 degrees, not more than. The original only bent like 70.
>>13608278
It uses like 90 percent of the ver ka's runners. The only new parts are for the head and leg armor to mildy increase the knee bend and make the head ova accurate.
>>13607999
both people in that pic are total autists grats
>>13607999
>Gunpla is Freedom
"Gunpla is Freedom" refers to the idea of creativity within gunpla, not any piece of shit being a valid construction.GBFT was a huge mistake.
>>13608089
MG Unicorn is actually really impressive considering its age (came out in 2007!) and its goal of being a fully transforming 1/100 Unicorn.
It's just that "really impressive" doesn't mean "good". The transformation is super unstable, the psychoframe doesn't really pop unless you put it under a black light, and the articulation is basically non-existent. The Beam Magnum barely holds itself together, the shield has problems sliding fully open at times, and the transforming v-fin can't really fully close.
MG Unicorn is so embarrassing now that even Bandai couldn't bring themselves to make Banshee Norn (itself a former web exclusive with magazine-freebie tier add-ons) general release.
I really hope that someday RE/100 release fixed versions of both forms. If you look at the RDs, you can see a lot of cool things they can do to get around the design's inherent lack of articulation. Those cool things definitely aren't possible with a transformation in place as well though.
>>13608379
Incidentally, since you're new at this, you should probably note that MG Unicorn is very indicative of all vKas: a really ambitious idea that didn't quite work out, but is still at least really cool to build.
>>13608389
Okay, thanks anon, so the best I can do is let it be at its Unicorn Mode right?
>>13608389
>Nu's
>Sazabi
>Didn't work out
M8 the Sazabi is the best MG to have come out in recent times, and the Hi-Nu/Nu aren't anything to scoff at either.
>>13608379
I doubt that it will ever be an RE100. That line is for releases that are too financially risky for an mg release (through being too niche, to expensive to produce due to something like size, and similar factors).
Unicorn sells way too well as is. If anything there's a better chance of a 2.0 in 10 years than a RE release.
The PG fixed pretty much all the issues of the mg anyways if you're willing to shell out for it.
>>13608366
That's cool, and I agree with the R1 having that worn-down fallen hero charm that makes it look badass in comparison to the vanilla Exia. Can't wait to see some pictures, my man.
>>13608379
>they will waste a RE/100 slot to remake an MG that sold extremely well
>an expensive admission that a popular product was flawed
In what universe does this make any sense to you
>>13608404
MG Nu vKa is renowned for being the first, and worst, use of the Emotion Manipulators. The poor thing can't even hold its beam rifle! It also has a really cool approach to the funnel rack that doesn't work in practice at all, and Invoke Mode is neat but ultimately only barely more stable than Destroy Mode.
MG Sazabi vKa learned a lot of stuff from Nu vKa, so it at least can hold its weapons as intended. Unfortunately that's about the most you can say about it since by design the Sazabi's weapons are super bulky and almost impossible to work with barring very specific poses. The fold-out thrusters are super cool looking but also a giant pain to set-up, and the poor thing had to sacrifice having an actual cockpit for a LED that most people probably don't even use.
MG Hi-Nu vKa is probably the overall best of the lot (and it ought to be, being the least ambitious), but then you throw in the HWS and ahaha. Man.
(The actual best MG to come out in recent times is RX-78-02. DX is probably second.)
>>13608404
Nu was hailed as pretty much the best and golden child of the mg line when it came out despite a flaw or two. They crammed a ton into it, including new things at the time.
>LED slot
>Sonic welded articulated hands
>PS frame
>Stand
>Support arms for the funnels
>Alternate display form
>Two tone coloring like on RG
>Waterslide decals instead of shitty stickers or dry transfers
>Lots of moving parts and part separation on everything
It was a fantastic release. The only complaints I ever saw were that the funnels liked to fall off and the hands were a bit fragile.
>>13608419
The universe where I get a cool toy.
Did "really hope" somehow become "I am absolutely sure this will happen due to a mountain of factual data" at some point?
>>13608428
>and Invoke Mode is neat but ultimately only barely more stable than Destroy Mode.
It's a hell of a lot more stable. I've never seen any complaints about it causing instability at all or experianced any myself.
>>13608404
>>13608428
did you guys just forget that Sinanju was originally a Ver. Ka?
>>13608443
It's mostly just the breast portions and the forearms. But yeah, you're right, saying it's barely more stable than Destroy Mode is being extremely uncharitable.
>>13608428
I have no idea what you're talking about with the Nu ver Ka's hands; the grip is fine when you use the included peg and the only problem is that the wrist is kind of limp (easily fixed with super glue or rod). The funnels are a pain in the ass though but I prefer to have them deployed.
As for the Sazabi, the cockpit was probably never an option considering the fact that scale would never work with it being in the head. In all the animations that include MSs with psychoframes, the cockpits are always enormous. This incidently does not translate well into 1/100 scale.
>>13608463
>cockpit
>>13608463
It's kind of awkward saying this since I'm personally a huge proponent of "if the kit has an issue, just fix it yourself", but the very fact that Nu vKa's wrists are so weak that you have to fix them at all is a mark against the kit. Out of the box, it absolutely can't hold up its rifle straight at all.
At the very least Bandai learned from it and made all future versions of the Emotion Manipulators much more rigid.
Also MG Sazabi vKa literally has the cockpit in the head already, it just doesn't open up.

All this discussion of the MH unicorn is making me concerned about getting the Phenex.
I assume the Phenex shares the same problem as the UC animation or the UC Ver. Ka

Ilegitimately want to try cramming Barbatos' inner frame inside of this thing.
>>13608510
Just because something is cheap doesn't mean it's good, fåm.
>>13608540
All of that and more: Phenex isn't undergated at all, since to do that they would have had to totally redesign the MG Unicorn runners.
There's a reason people were stunned it wasn't a web exclusive!
>>13608558
I'm pretty sure Tamiya's masking tape is probably better than whatever retarded yank shit you're paying $5 for.

>>13608612
Nah, MG Unicorn is designed so there's a lot of easy to glue bits. It's very easy to lock it into one of its forms.
Got my first perfect grade yesterday, but I'm a little intimidated. I'm not inexperienced, but there's a lot of model there. It's definitely the most complex model I've attempted, and maybe the 2nd largest. Is there anything I should know about before I tackle this thing?
Also, how good do perfect grades look without paint on them? I'm guessing even better than a MG, right? I'd like to get into painting models someday, but now's not the right time, and this certainly isn't the right model to start with.
>>13608857
PG mkII has a LED system in it, but it's not too complicated so as long as you follow the manual you should be fine.
PGs are made so you don't have to paint them at all.
>>13608637
That's great! Can't wait to show you guys the finished model with the rest of my collection :^)
>>13608637
Okay. I have been planning on getting the MG Phenex and been dead set on getting it.

Listen. You're making a very stupid mistake. All the guides in the world don't actually equal experience. Normally people have tons of nubs in their first model, and that's even with an HG. Please don't do something you will regret then come back here posses at us or the model when it was your fault. Get a damn HG or two at least.

>but I know what I'm doing.
Not that anon, but what sort of modeling experience do you have? While Bandai kits are among the easiest and most beginner friendly of kits in existence, an MG, much less the Unicorn, is not a particularly good place to start. The Unicorn MG in particular is a bit wonky and more fragile than most contemporary MGs due to its transformation gimmick.
As the guide suggests, an HG, perhaps of a kit you like (the Unicorn HGs are decent), is a much better starting point. You don't want to end up ruining your favorite kit due to a lack of skill.
Finished out the ghost effect for the head and torso today.
Won't do anything more until the weekend.

Am I ready to build my first gunpla? I got 1/144 Hizack, 1/144 Quess' Jagd Doga, and 1/144 Rick Dom. Also, what's the best way to hide the white marks from where you cut the plastic off? I looked at real touch markers, but they seem kind of expensive and for most of the kits I want to get it doesn't look like the colors would match and it would just leave a discolored spot instead of a white spot. I suck at painting but I'm not opposed to it if it makes things look better.
>>13609197
Spoiler your fuckin spooks man, jesus christ
Looks good though
>>13609200
read the guide
>>13609200
>Also, what's the best way to hide the white marks from where you cut the plastic off?
Cut the nubs off higher from the piece and sand/file them down carefully.
Easier if you have better quality nippers.
the white marks indicate stressed plastic caused when cutting the nubs. the closer to the piece you make your initial cut,the harsher the stress marks might be.
>>13609200
I'd suggest panel washing for panel lines, but for a first attempt it looks doable. Lacquer spray may eat away at certain plastics (particularly the red PS Bandai used for a couple of kits between 2004 and, oh, 2012-ish?), so you may want to use acrylic.
>hide the white marks
When removing pieces from the plate, first snip off a bit away from the piece, taking a piece of the gate with it. Then make a second cut with nippers flush to the piece. This greatly reduces stress marks.
Then go over the residual nub very carefully with a hobby knife. If you're good, that will be the end of that and no sanding will be required. If the nub is very flat but additional sanding will discolor the area, then go over the nub with a slightly wet (water is fine) fingernail. It really works.

It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't terrible either. Only a few slightly warped pieces and most of the flash was confined to places that weren't very visible. I'd say relatively good price-to-quality. Then again, I probably have lower standards than most.

It's based off the PG Strike Frame, so it's one of the best PGs to date.
I don't know about its articulation being worse than the RG's, but its balance should shit all over it at the very least. That thing can do some silly poses.

>>13609653
The best PG remains the Strike to this day. 11 years of supremacy and counting!
Still, PG 00R and SF are both actually pretty great. Or rather, PG 00 and SF without its dragoons are really great. Slapping on the backpacks ruins everything because it turns out giant backpacks kill balance!

SOON.
>>13609680
>>13609661
But they are MGs without the back packs
Red frame is the perfect grade with the biggest part count going to it
It feels more complete with the moving panels and the pistons, even more gimmicks going on the armor than the strike but there would be a design prefference
The strike has more articulation because of the lack of more intricate armor and moving parts which sounds retarded knowing that they both share inner frame

1. Is that guy who wanted to kitbash a Thunderbolt with a Leopard here? I've got 90% of a Thunderbolt you can use.
2. What are some projects you guys hope to do in 2016?
>Finish Graze Squad
>Zero-Shiki
>Hummingbird

When the fuck is hlj gonna do their christmas sale? And does amiami do sales around this time?
>>13609914
HLJ does Christmas sales? I thought they skipped that shit
The amazon review was right. The clear square pieces were a nightmare to get on!
>>13609902
I'll finish my GP line up someday.
Someday.
>>13609927
Even the Blossom?
Also the atmospheric pack was quite refreshing to see complete. Even though I figured it was the lamest of packs.
>>13609931
No 1/100 yet, sadly. But if it ever comes out I'll definitely grab it.
So apparently Revive Qubeley is getting articulated fingers just like the Super Fumina.
>>13608480
what the fuck?
>>13610010
CCA had some wonky scaling.
The cockpit actually has to be about as big as it is on the MG vKa for the Nu to be able to hold it like a basketball.
>>13609933
Nobody cares
Bit of a longshot, but nobody would happen to have the thruster piece on the bottom of the right leg for an HG Zeta lying around, would they?
I magically lost this one piece and it's for a gift that I've been working on. If someone can send the actual piece it'd be really appreciated.
Pic related is what I mean.
>>13609981
Cool meme, can't wait to see it again next thread.
Is anyone else besides Gundam Planet giving out campaign cards?
>>13609744
Just got back from work. what the fuck is chosen undead
I like using those Ez-Sr thrusters on the thighs instead of the fins that just get in the way of posing. That's also the Gundam Hammer from the RX-78-2 Revive add-on parts...thing.
>>13609512
Macs are stupid. You can easily build your own PC with the exact same specs for cheaper. What's your point, are you an Apple fanboy?
>>13610088
That's the in-universe title for the player character in Dark Souls.
Since you can just pick whatever armour you want in that game, the closest you'll get is the Elite Knight Armour, which is the box art armour.
>>13610107
>>13609516
I am not sure about your base build for your paint but I think you should go for barbatos for a base
Fuck Kousaka Kekster and his custom ReGZ
The original was the perfect grunt suit design. Not too flashy, but realistic enough.
So I have a MG FA Unicorn that I won from the Midyear Campaign. Should I build it or trade it for a different MG? If trade, what should I trade it for?
>>13610153
It's not a Re-GZ. It's an OC donut steel MS.
>>13610128
>>13610107
yeah I basically don't have a kit in mind, I'm just getting an airbrush soon and I can't come up with shit
>>13610163
>Material Gunpla
>Re-GZ
>>13610053
Model Grade does it too.
>>13610169
Honestly think of anime character and paint that colour scheme
Rise Gundam!
>>13610174
Like most of the customs in Try, it's been so heavily modified you can barely see the base anymore anyways.
Also he literally changed it from a grunt to a gundam so I don't really know what were you expecting.
>>13610186
>Re GZ
>Refined Gundam Zeta
>>13609902
I'm gonna try making a Hi-Mock look like Thor. It seems cool in my head but I'm probably gonna fuck it up. If I do, it'll be a learning experience. If I don't, it'll look fuckin' awesome.
>>13610217
Things like this make me think people will get the Gusion for the hammer as much as for the MS.
>>13610231
I might buy 2 because I like the MS and its hammer and gun desu
>>13609468
>>13609491
>50 bucks
>a lot of money for basically anything
How poor are you?
>>13609629
The knee bends are because it reuses s lot of the strikes frame pieces and the red frames leg armor is bulkier and gets in the way more than the strikes do.
>>13610280
Are you rrobbert?
why can't most people pose their kits for shit?
>>13610409
Same reason shit like this happens, people are stupid or lazy... or both.
>>13610440
Why?
>>13610440
>those nubs
That poor fucking god gundam, my lord.
>>13610440
Was that your SS gift?
>>13610486
I don't think so, I'm pretty sure rich is a bonger.
i guess there is no chance for a MG G-SELF huh?
>>13610186
The only thing that the Lightning took from the ReGZ was the BWS. The rest was a hodgepodge of various Zeta family components.
>>13610576
It'll happen eventually, I'm sure
i fled to /toy/ like 2 months ago because of the spamming shitposter
are things better here now? or has this thread just not been hit yet
>>13610811
Who?
>>13610440
Picking up a Kshatriya, Exia Gundam and GM Custom from my FLHS tomorrow. They don't have much in the way of gunpla but they do special order stuff for me whenever I ask.
Too bad it seems they don't go through BlueFin for distributing. So their selections are pretty fucking limited.
Probably gonna build the Space Bell Pepper first, then the GM Custom.
This is my first painted gunpla. Sorry for the phone pic. Anyway, I know it's not very good, but it was a good learning experience. In particular, I have learned the consequences of not using primer.
>>13610576
We have to fill the Zaku quotient for the year before we're allowed good things. Just wait for a few more MG Zakus and we'll get it eventually.
So I plan to recreate this awesome art into a Gunpla model. Any suggestions to tackle this challenge? Possibly what kind of base I can use for the body?
>>13610280
Nice Revive.
>>13611011
What the fuck
How is that a Zudah anything
>>13611011
The base design reminds me a lot of the Geara Zulu and Geara Doga
>>13611011
top of my head
Zaku I head
Zaku III core
Geara Zulu Guard Type arms
Grimoire legs
you'll need to be comfortable with heavy modding if you do it though
>>13611003
Makes me think of the Bolinoak Sammahn.
>>13611056
Huh. Now that you mention it, yeah. I'd love to say I planned it that way, but I didn't.
>>13609410
Frame Arms Alpha Kobold.
>>13611003
I can't tell much from the photo quality, but it looks ok to me. Congrats on taking the plunge.
>>13609410
Well main MS is done

>>13609410
Since I've actually only ever painted three kits this whole year, I'll post the three of them together. Latest one is the Transient Gungnir.
>>13611441
The top part of your action base is on backwards.
Anyone with Prime should steal this now.
>>13609598
Either Barbatos or Portent. Dom R35 is absolutely awful for 2015 HG.
>>13609197
this is amazing. I look forward to seeing the final build of this project
MG nu ver ka is pretty good, right?
>>13611588
It's fantastic aside from a bit of difficulty keeping it's rifle up due to the weak wrists of the manipulator hands.
>>13611671
Already bought it, but thanks. It's my first MG, but I still need to do some paint practice before building it.
>>13611686
Check out some ways of keeping the fin funnels straight. They're really flimsy and never stay up. I used a small medal rode slid to strengthen it.
>>13609516
Daily dose
>>13611427
Ewwwww Astrays so ugly
>>13611427
Dude...Maybe I'm just not seeing it how you are. What was your inspiration for the that color scheme?
>>13611730
Gray Zeta, I was not able to add stripes on the legs at the time. But I may cheat a bit with stickers
>>13609764
I'm on PC and it's not rotated fine.
>>13611745
I think the yellow might be off a little. I remember the Gray Zeta having more of a faded orange-ish yellow. This yellow looks a little too green for me. Are you going to stick with gloss? I think matte might blend it a bit better and cut down on eye strain a bit. Best of luck to you.
>>13611770
The yellow depends on the light it reflects. Its a bit green on white light
Anyway, yeah i might think over what you said. But this is the closest yellow i have in metallic form
Thanks anon
>>13609410
other that snap build this is the only thing i made in the last few month
>>13611826
What is that?
