***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.

or

I would like everyones thoughts on which is the better of these two kits
when will bandai release their schedule for January

>Shitty wrists, so they tend to droop a lot
>Funnels don't hold together well nor stay open
>Invoke mode sometimes doesn't stay open
>Comes with a bitching stand
>Taller than most actual 1/100 Gundams
>Different shades of gray for panels
Most of the problems can be fixed easily, except for the funnel connectors so it's a solid model.
I don't own the Sazabi but I'd imagine its also a good kit and at that point it's up to personal preference.
>>13681636

>>13681529
why are Destiny ZAKU and GOUF so damn nice looking
Are there any decent kits of Gundam ZZ? I used to hate the design but its grown on me a lot.
>>13681529
Do good HG SEED kits even exist?
>>13681660
But Chopper Robo is already restocked. And on the way to my house.

Real talk, is HG Perfect Strike the plastic brick I expect it to be?
>bought a HG Strike Noir on a whim
Anyone have a paint scheme for these pistols to make them look nicer?
>>13681726
two tone white and grey combo
>>13681726
you cant think of it yourself? do you have to ask people how to breath and eat too?
>>13681529
get the 1/100 ZAKU if you want a ZAKU, its a big step up from the HG but still needs some paint work on the backpacks.
>>13681721
its pretty shit, they released it right before the HG Strike Remaster so its actually the shitty old HG from 2002 with a new set of backpacks, which are essentially molded in one color and slathered with stickers.
its a good amount of plastic for the price and its nice to have all three sets but everything about it feels antiquated compared to the HG RM and cheap compared to the RG which can do pretty much the same thing for 3x the price.
>>13681623
why would you even consider not getting both?
>>13681733
Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?
>>13681729
Give that a try. Thanks. Good to see not everyone in this thread is a buttbothered autismo.
>>13681744
I have been thinking about getting both
I've also wanted a few other kits along with them
Just wanted peoples thoughts on both of those kits though.
>>13681752
no prob. I'd recommend painting up the handles of the wing swords a similar color as well
>>13681739
Well that's too bad.
Bit of an odd question here:
Does anyone know the gauge of wiring used in the PG Wing Zero? For some shocking, unexplainable reason, Bandai's winning strategy of using screws to simultaneously strip and secure wires in place did not work out very well, and I find myself in need of replacing them. I'd like to use the same size so I can at least still use the channels already cut in the pieces to route them into place.
I'm also toying with the idea of leaving out the switch so that there is an opening I can use to run the wires out from, so that I can connect them to an external battery box that uses AA batteries that will last much longer under 24/7 use.
>>13681660
cool the graze is on the 13th which is the only kit I want at the moment,apart from a cool car kit to get some good high-shine airbrushing practice with, hopefully Tamiya restocks soon as well otherwise its the fujimi te-71 corolla.
>>13681716
gm army diorama, one standing in a field of his dead comrades
>>13681623
>>13681754
They're both amazing kits anon. If you're really into inner frames like I am you'll probably enjoy the Sazabi more overall. Either way you're getting what I think are the best master grades one can buy. I also own both because why the hell not.
>>13681716
Be sure to show off the army when you're done and ready to stomp those zeeks.
>>13681844
GM STRONK
>>13681846
Pathetic zeeks get out.
There are a few things I would like to inquire regarding kit customization.
1) What is the best method for adding LEDs to a 1/144 kit. I have a Kshatriya that I want to add LEDs into and run some Fiber optics for smaller points of light.
2) I'm looking for a challenging kit that doesn't break the bank but looks great, even without paint. I'm working my way towards getting a MG Sazabi, but I don't want to spend that money then not do the kit justice. I've done a MG RX-0 Unicorn so far with a flat white coat, as well as a repaint of a NG Freedom, so I have a vague understanding of things,
As an aside, I've been playing with glow paint on my 00 Raiser and on the psycho frame of the Unicorn. The paint itself is from GlowInc.com. Works well on the 00, considering that the grainy nature of the paint sort of mimics the GN particles, but the clear plastic of the psycho frame runners does not retain its color when the paint glows. I tested with one side only, one with a clear red coat over it, and a clear red coat on both sides. However, it either continued to glow its original color, in this case white, or hardly glow at all through the paint. Even when having a bright light shone directly onto it, it wouldn't glow. Looking around online, it seems that its better to just get the color of glow paint you want to paint with, rather than tinting it yourself, which is a bummer.
>>13681853
>GlowInc.com
Anon, I mean this in the least creepy way possible:
I think I love you. That looks damn perfect for a kit with a GN drive, I'm going to have to try it myself.
>>13681843
Yeah I like the look of both of these kits along with the Hi NU (which I have with HWS)
I'm hunting down the second funnel kit also for the NU and have looked at getting the metal parts for both NU and Sazabi from MS Nation but they are forever restocking those lol
>>13681873

Of course http://www twitch tv/denonisshoku

Took a few tries, but I got it to show up. Even when charging them on my LED light string, it doesn't always show up well on camera phone. It can be pretty bright though.
>>13681909
Also a shot of one of the GN sword IIs charged
>>13681884
Anything like this to replace the fake funnels on the Hi Nu Vrabe?
Any feedback on the HGUC Revive Qubley?
I'm looking for some 1/144 MS from Zeta to to go with my RG Z Gundam, but most of them are ancient and don't look that great.
>>13681913
Buy an HG Hi-Nu to cannibalize? That's about all I can think of.
>>13681916
Only review I've seen is Dalong's, and that just went up. He seems to like it, but then again translate is not always reliable.

>>13681916
get the HGUC The O.
kind of old, but its a really solid kid. Superb detail and articulation, even for this day.
What are good kits to practise getting rid of seam lines?
I have a revive RX-78-2, would that be good as it is so square?
>>13681958
You'll probably be better off with a kit that has a lot of large surfaces and is fairly old. Doms and Dom variants are usually good for this type of thing.
>>13681958
No, the Revive basicly turned most of the seamlines into either panel lines or raised surface so there isn't much visible seamlines to fix. I suggest HGUC Feddie grunt kits, most of them have easy to fix seamlines.
>>13681534

Don't worry anon I wont be leaving anytime soon! This is a new trick I learned to take photos. I can turn off my monitor and use it as a backdrop.
>>13681916
>Any feedback on the HGUC Revive Qubley?
Schizophonic9 also has a review up. He Doesn't put any foils on except the eyes.
>>13681958
the GM is great because it's cheap and all 4 limbs and the feet are basically flat surfaces
the head is the only tricky part and the one you should do last, the ear circles will show you how easy it is to destroy surface detail if you don't be careful
We need a Zaku REVIVE asap. I won't buy a HGUC Zaku because of this crap.
>>13682083
Buy the origin version you fucking retard or the rg

Don't be lad. If it's not there by the time it'd supposed to just send them a email
>>13682119
This is not a problem most people have

Also, this happened.

They're still the old ass versions though
>>13682210
Wow that's so much better looking than that absolute garbage in the OP!
>>13682228
Yes, that's what we call a "custom". You know, something that takes time and effort?
In the mean-time, this got shown off yesterday. What do you guys think of this beaut?
>>13682243
It is pretty incredible that they still restock the old kits.
>>13682272
>Yes, that's what we call a "custom". You know, something that takes time and effort?
I know what a custom is you edgelord.
>>13682272
>Beaut
I wouldn't say that, the profile just looks like the Barbatos again with more shit attached. That and the fact that that it gets rid of most of the heavy armor and probably the rocket hammer makes me kind of disappointed. I do like the head though, I'm glad we're moving away from standard gundamface.

Oh and friendly reminder to backorder kits that will get restocked soon so you're put into the system ahead of the other schmucks that want them..
>>13682294
You probably think angling an action base slightly different is all it takes to make a custom, though.
>>13682294
I'm just saying you've said before that you've wanted to learn to paint/detail for a while now, but you've posted nothing but the same OOB kits ever since.
>>13682249
no that's a nub filled piece of garbage, built by a child with no friends and zero effort involved in the build, nice blatant samefagging though. Fuck (You)
>>13682339
Stop being rude to Snapfit-Kun! He's the coolest and smartest modeller here, and you all should appreciate what he does for you more!
>>13682272
I dig the body a lot but the head looks strange (too much narrow graze forehead tacked onto barb's beutiful gundam face), need to see a different angle
>>13681927
That's a big model
>>13682346
i guarantee the words cool and smart have never been used in relation to this faggot, which is why he spends his days on here trying desperately to annoy people..you'll have to get a life some day, can't stay 12 years old forever
>>13682338
>I'm just saying you've said before that you've wanted to learn to paint/detail for a while now, but you've posted nothing but the same OOB kits ever since.
I learn at my own pace.
>>13682362
>I learn at my own pace.
is that what what your teachers told you to say to people if they make fun of you for how retarded you are?
>>13682362
If you're going at a pace that means you must have something to show, even just a test spray on some runners or spoons or something. Hell show us that you have the materials to show you're trying at least.
>>13682379
I want all the kits I want before I spend money on sprays and masking tape. Etc. Worry about your own skill. Why not post some of it? you are all talk.
There is nothing wrong with snapbuilding.
I do it myself, people just prefer to do it that way.
>>13682384
Alright, sure.
>>13682389
There is something wrong with being a massively egotistical cunt about it though
>>13682392
Looks like shit compared to Snapfit-Kun's incredible work, honestly!
>>13682392
I admit the paint on this one didn't turn out too great on the shoulders, but that's because there's like 3 layers of paint on each one and I had to redo both of them twice to get the color just right.
>>13682394Yeah, that's true.
I mostly just line stuff but even I do some damn detail painting once in a while, like on Barbatos here
>>13682399
I'd love to see you try a 1/72 tank kit. They shouldn't be too hard compared to HGs, right?
>>13682392
>>13682399
wow both of these are way better than snap-shits work. Hueg surprise!
>>13682406
that looks kinda shitty senpai
>>13682399
KOR TES FER GUGNIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>13682399
Here's a Zabanya I'm working on to go with the Harute. It's not done yet though, if you look closely enough you can see the difference between the light gray being used and the primer on some parts.
>all of my projects are in the ultra boring masking stage
i knew it would happen but I'll still mad
>>13682417
Yeah, it was my first try at making a military model since middle school. I went and fixed the rear wheels after taking that photo (That was back in like September), but I feel like I should do a bit of weathering on him instead of what I got going on right now.
>>13682406
I like it!
>>13682384
>>13682392
If I learnt anything from painting gunpla it is that any colour -> white is fucking annoying
Oh yeah, all these kits I worked on during the second half of this year. The Harute took about 3 days to modify/weld/sand and another 3 days to paint, the Sherman was just a day of building and a day of painting (A base coat of Tamiya spray followed by some handbrushed details), and the Transient was admittedly an on-and-off project due to school work, so that took about a month with huge gaps in between.
There is no excuse to not be able to grab a few cans of paint, some alligator sticks, a foam block, and a place to spray outside/in the garage and just go at a kit for an hour or two a day.
>>13682384
Did you get the G-Self Reflector? I'm not shelling out $150 for the Robot Damashii so I want to see if the kit looks decentwith minimal effort
>>13682195
astrays are fucking as ugly as shit
>>13682548
It's definitely worth. As usual with me, no effort.
>>13682598
Also included is the closed reflector. The only downside to the kit is the base G-Self which was totally unremarkable, if not bad, from the get-go.
>>13682587
That's not even Astray's colors you fuckwit.
>>13682621
Lastly, you can recreate that shield-ramming pose that's in the OP which was cut from the anime. I can swap stands with my regular G-Self I'm just too lazy atm.
>>13682272
The safe colours'll make it easy to give it a proper paint job at least
>>13682475
>If I learnt anything from painting gunpla it is that any colour -> white is fucking annoying
So you're saying any colour is easier to APPLY than white? I don't read you.
>>13682682
I am saying if your plastic is anything but white coloured, painting it white is a hassle. Because it easily show that you didnt prime a nice enough layer
>>13682475
Vibrant yellow is even more of a hassle in my experience. Anything but a pure white undercoat dulls or dirties it.
>>13682119
I can agree with this because I'm a large fat german man with giant gorilla fingers. Going from my first RG to my first MG was like taking off weighted clothing in DBZ.
>>13682706
I feel at least yellow is a strong enough colour
or it could because I was paint the yellow on a white plastic
>>13682272
i guess it could look alright
>>13682272
I initially didn't like the silhouette, but the more I look at it the more I can dig it. It feels like a good mix of Gundam and grunt. A few quibbles though.
The gun is literally just an elongated version of the same Graze rifle we've seen on every other Graze-based kit. Considering how useless guns have been so far in the series, I hope it comes with some kind of melee weapon. Would be nice if it got to keep the Gusion's hammer.
That back skirt and boosters will never not look ridiculous to me. I bet it'll look way better without them.
>>13682668
Fuck off. No seriously. Fuck off. You need to fuck off. Nobody likes your posting, we know you samefag, you post on reddit like a retard and even they hate you. You don't contribute anything, you don't add anything to the discussion, I hope to whatever deity exists that you will catch fire and slowly burn to death because then you would feel how much I and I'm sure so many others hate you.
Die. Fuck off and die, you are a waste of human blood, oxygen and air. Die. Please die. Kill yourself, get struck by lightning, shove your poorly made gunpla up your ass and get it lodged so far up there that it cuts you and you bleed to death.
Fuck. Off.
>>13682439
nice that side looks a lot better; i'm glad you went back, fixed it and put effort into your work. It's very rewarding not only to you but the viewer of the pics as well.

I'm sorry stranger but I don't consider snapping together a plastic toy a 'skill.' I usually get a lot of reblogs for my moonlight butterfly wings. I even got a message from someone who said I'm a fellow /m/an on his dash so I doubt every anon hates me.

>>13683099
Or you could just fuck off, because no one likes you. Even if I filter you, the thread still gets cluttered up by all the people telling you to go fuck yourself.
And you still didn't answer my question. Since it's obvious that no one likes you and you get insulted every time you post, why do you keep doing it?

so much masking, but it could maybe look alright in the end if I put in enough effort. Thoughts?
The back and forth shitposting just derails any kind of productive conversation that can be had on here. I tried to ask if anyone has done any Koto Linebarrels kits, see Vardant kit above, but everyone on so far today is more concerned with giving Snapfit (You)s. I understand people are frustrated that this fuck still hasn't choked on his pasta/had his mom turn off his internet but please fucking ignore this twat and lets make an effort to get the focus back to gunpla/plamo.

Basically denial is good for making hair parts
>>13683287
Answer the question:
>>13683091
So, my current project is to make a 1/144 Gundam MK V by modifying the HGUC Doven Wolf. It's going great so far, but the largest problem is going to be the head, given that it's such a specific shape. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make it look as good as possible? Would pure scratchbuilding be the best using milliput, or should I start off with another Gundam head then modify with pla-plate?
>>13683373
Are the pics of what the actual model will look like?
>>13683314
So where did you manage to snag the Nobels from? Or did you just give in to the scalper prices?
>>13683373
Isn't this just gold Mega Shiki with Hyaku Shiki's backpack and weapon?

I like Mega Shiki's design more.

I think he is some horribly bored neckbeard that does what he does because it's the only way he has to stave off the monotony of his 'job' sitting at home on his computer day after day 'moderating' this cesspool.
He is always here, every minute of every day, everyone hates and complains about him, yet nothing ever gets done about it. The image floods continue, as does his shitty blog posts, and none of us believe that it isn't the same person.
But nothing will change, because he is in control and our new nip overlords don't understand or care. Half of our legitimate tripfags, Toot, Jaeger, ect. have already jumped ship.
We just cling to it as it continues to sink, because our only real alternative for discussion of this niche hobby is /r gunpla

I prefer the Mega cannon than the original Hyaku Shiki backpack.
Both designs are fine tho.
alright /m/en i'm going to go at my first painted build. picked up a HG exia avalanche and just wanted a change of pace from the blue/white.
This is what I have atm, had a friend just photoshop the colors cause i was busy as fuck. May end up using a darker purple but what do you guys think?
>>13683474
Not bad, but the yellow stands out a bit too much. It's a little glaring. Try maybe a dull green or tan yellow?
>>13683479
that's what I thought too, i'll have a mockup done with the tan yellow but was also considering like an actual gold for a regal feel ya know?
Just picked up R-GyaGya since B&N restocked with new models! I will admit, I see what you guys mean now by how shaving down the nubs make it look REALLY good! The blade on the beam saber is a bit bent, but I'll probably try and fix it with a blowdryer.
>>13683492
Often it's difficult to tell with gold. Unless you replicate it in images, gold isn't that easy to plan out. However, personally I'd only use gold on inner frame parts and detail sections that 00 kits lack.
>>13683497
Fixed the photo...
Does anybody know where I can get decals for Char's Zaku II HG model from the Origin? I fucked up hard on the decals and can't find anymore.
If all else fails, I might just get some water slide decals for the real grade Zaku II and use at least some of them.
>>13683500
hmmm, alright understood. Well i'll fuck around with the yellow bits for now so it flows a bit more.
After I finish that project I wanted to make a gunpla as close to pic related as possible. The kits I had in mind were clearly the beargguy 3, waist and legs from the gyan, take the swords from a sengoku astray, and then was a bit lost for the upper torso and shit.
Any ideas what would work best?
>>13683568
That's some good photography. DSLR? Any lighting used?
I kinda want to try and make a Megadeus mobile suit, but I'm not sure what the best way to go about it would be.

I think being tired of blue and so going one step to the right into purple is weird, but I digress.
I think the purple is far too prevalent and vibrant here., and clashes horribly with the yellow accents. Since it's an Avalanche Exia, I'd double down on the white and grey and leave the purple for the accents. Or hey, make it dark shades of grey if you're tired of white itself.
>>13683520
Could try the legs and torso from R-Gyagya, it looks alright if you don't attach the shoulders and the larger proportions will stop the Beargguy head from being too comically oversized. The original Beargguy's head might also fit the aesthetic better, if you can get hold of one.

get the Gundoom or a MG instead.

How different are the modern kits compared to the ones in the 90's?
Because all I've built are gunpla kits from the 90's
>>13683962
Better articulation and parts seperation. Usually less reliance on stickers (Mostly!). I really want that Cold Districts.
>>13683962
you'll enjoy the MG Gundam DX and the Barbatos then especially the inner frames, they're quite detailed and the engineering inside is really nice. I suggest building the Gundam DX as the Skeleton first and then building the armour so you can enjoy how cool the inner skeleton is.
I haven't built the Tryon but I've heard its pretty cool, the 00 gundam is universally well recieved as being hella flexible. The cold types are pretty old kits though and will be closer to the 90's kits than any of the others
>>13683977
in stock right now on HLJ for 640 yeni swear i'm not a shill
>>13683980
Is that the HGUC?
>>13683977
So all they need is some panel lining?
>>13683992
Well as long as the Jim's aren't as finicky as the 1/100 V-Dash and V2 kits then it's all good.
>Bought the MG Strike RM, Nu ver. Ka for kurisumas, and 2 action bases for each of em.
>Both of them come with their own custom ABs.
That's what I get for not researching.
Oh well. more spare ABs never hurt.
>>13683520
Try Dreissen arms for flared sleeves?
Does anyone have any experience with the Advanced Grade Gundam AGE kits? I just need a G-Bouncer torso for the custom on the left (which will otherwise have a different head. Not sure quite what yet), and the HG kit is at GN Archer levels of overpriced due to not being re-released ever. The AG kit, which is a glorified statue, is $12 on Amazon and since I only need the torso I can just scrap the rest.
I need to know if the proportions are correct, since although the scale is right I'm not taking a $12 kit for granted.
>>13683980
may I ask if this is an RG? planning to buy my first RG and have you top coated it? looks neat
Just finished this today. I was planning on painting and fixing all those seams but I got lazy and my backlog seems to be getting bigger every day. Just panel lining and matte topcoat. What do you guys think?
>>13684120
The custom base for the Strike RM is huge, you may well end up using the Action Base if space is an issue. Once you've got the Aile Striker on the Action Base isn't very stable since the centre of mass is far above the connection point at the base of the crotch.
>>13684182
Here's the RG, for you. Panel lined and topcoated. Also it's not mine, GIS.
Is image spammer gone?
>>13684195
It's not bad. I kind of like it. I wish they would bring out the REVIVE Zaku II so I can buy one.
>>13684207
Yeah, after opening the SOB, I'd rather deal with the AB2's ABS plastic.
It's fucking massive

ah great now I've been poisoned does this kit have a particular issues? loose parts or something? I just recently lost the side skirt of my 00 gundam
>>13684226
>It's not bad
You're definition of "not bad" is fucked
I'm a fucking idiot that painted the fucking vents and crotch on my cold district a completely different shade of red than it should be. Should I strip it or say fuck it since its only detail painting?
>>13684289
You should do what satisfies your tastes.
>>13684297
But not his, because Snapshit's taste is legendarily caustic.
>>13684225
You just posted, so no.
>>13684331
Its tamiya flat red. I don't know why I thought it would look decent before but my eye only caught it now. Maybe because I am doing the barbatos right now too for practice along with this. I think I have a zeon gundam marker that is close to the maroon of the GM but this kinda took the piss out of me because I did actually decent with it even if its small ass details.
>>13683805
HG when?
>>13684254
The mg infinite justice? Shield effect can easily come off, back heavy, sabers on side skirt can easily come off.
Lots of details, even the inside of the armor, good articulation, nice effect parts, pink
>>13684360
Strip it, do it again. You'll only twitch every time you look at it otherwise, I do the same with my AGE-1 Spallow whose white collar is still tinted yellow because I didn't prime it properly.

Why not? It's operated by ZAFT. That's like bitching about there being EFSF decals on the tan Zaku from 0083.
>>13684500
They at least painted it on EFSF colors
>>13684500
Except one of these was used for extensive testing and probably maintained regularly, and the other was stolen and were basically on full alert for the duration of their service with little time for useless customization.
