***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.

Our next Group Build!
Field Repair
Basically what this means is that rather than the mobile suit being fresh out of a factory, it's quite the opposite. Whether it's trudging through dense jungles or dodging debris in asteroid belts, your mobile suit has seen some better days.
You've been out in the field for quite a long time now, nearly half a year of active duty in the front lines and your personal mobile suit's pretty banged up. What's worse is the fact that there isn't a maintenance bay within several thousand kilometers of your local area that's capable of making any major repairs. Your unit's engineering crew has resorted to patch work and jury-rigging to keep your machine operational. Stray fire might have crippled its legs and arms or otherwise dealt considerable damage to a mobile suit's systems meanwhile some units have simply lost bits of armor and panels to the elements and have been forced to patch weld metal sheets over the exposed inner workings.
In any case it's beaten to hell but somehow you and your team have somehow kept it chugging along and now command's ordered all units operating in your theatre to fall back to form a defensive line against the enemy offensive.

Here's the two dudes mentioned.
Can't wait till end of the month to get some more tools, like topcoat, in order to clean this zaku's look up. As much as making this Zaku has been... miserable? It makes me want to build more of these old MSV kits. Too bad I haven't seen them reprinted in last two years.
>>13751111
I had fun with my tank, was a bit different than normal kits. Although it's not painted yet(with more than gundam markers anyhow) or coated because of the awful cold.
While not MSV, I have the old Ball, Guntank and 1/250 G-Armor sets which will be fun too.
>>13751144
Got pictures? That sounds nice. Especially the G-Armor.
Oh, look it's the image spammer who wants to ruin this thread so we move to his hug-box in /toy/.
Like fucking clockwork
>>13751189
Nice meme
>>13751180
None of them are made yet because I don't have any more cement really, and I'm going to buy something else than Humbrol.
The G-Armor comes with all the things I believe, also with a tiny 1/250 Gundam, the 1/144 Ball comes with a 1/250 Ball, too.
The Tank and Balls is molded in one colour, but the G-Armor has black, white(mint), yellow, blue and red. Gundam is in all white.
>>13751227
Oh nice, now I am 100% gonna aim for a G-armor. Always liked that little gundam tank when watching the show. Thanks anon.
>>13751251
No probs, it also comes with rubber treads, which is neat. It's also cheap.
>>13751189
Define hug-box because clearly your definition isnt the same as anybody else's
Quick! Name your favorite zeon HGUC!
>>13751325
Kampfer!
>Have so many kits that I'm running out of room to put the boxes
>It's such an issue that I'm running out of room for books and other shit
Why do I have such an aversion to tossing out these boxes
>>13751344
Because they're pretty.
I kept all of mine too. At least some of them stack well.
>>13751344
Some people just cut off the art of the box or just flatten them to save space. Just shove em under your bed if you can't bring yourself to do it.
>>13751349
Already have some of them there. I thought I didn't have many kits but I ended up with 20+ somehow.
Which I guess isn't much compared to most people who build these things but still.
>>13751325
That's difficult. Could be the Gelgoog.
>>13751344
I had to do this to all my boxes(I taped though), because I had so many and they were over taking my room.
>>13751371
That's pretty neat actually. I've been keeping my instruction manuals and extra decals in this neat folder HLJ gave out with the Origin Char Zaku II kit last year but it's getting pretty full.
How many Zaku's is too many
I think I've built 6 now
>>13751325
Gotta be Zudah
>>13751325
If Thunderbolt sets count, the Zaku II with the Big Gun. Nothing about the suit or the gun is practical whatsoever but they both look wild
>>13751404
5 + 1 Flipper
>>13751404
There's no such thing as too many.
Do we have any news on what the next RG might be?
>>13751449
After the Wing is the Qan[t]
>>13751325Gogg.Pls no bully.
I wonder if he has more than 150 images
>>13751485
He is unstoppable.
There's a subreddit on Reddit where the community is just bots trying to emulate the front page of reddit.
>will finally have time tomorrow to build my first kit with proper supplies and a new pair of nippers
Fuck I'm excited
>>13751529
Ah shit dude, good luck.
>>13751522
There should be a subreddit that emulates the image spammer.
They are getting desperate now because I figured out they want us to move to their hug-box on /toy/.
>>13751546
Fuck off
>>13751546
The sound they'll make rattling their cage will serve as a warning to the electronic old men.
>>13751561
Get the hell out of here, Denton
Anybody have an amputee fetish?
>>13751546
I just realized this is also probably a scripted reply.
He can't hit more than one thread at once, can he? New thread here until he starts spamming
>>13751594
Question for you guys using Weathering Master. To seal with clear or not to seal? And if to seal, obviously it should be flat right?
Alright how do you guys think an HG would fare against a .22 to the torso? Anything more and I fear it will explode but I kind of want to try .22, anybody know anything? General tips on how to mutilate gunpla are welcome.
>>13751546
What the fuck do you think a hug-box is??? They wouldn't have managed to get fucking did of you if they were one!
>>13751189
Die in a fire along with your family
>>13751668
>>13751826
Please stop replying to tripfag.
>>13751325
HGUC Dom/Rick Dom. Its still my favorite HGUC kit, despite building over a dozen others.
>>13751325
>>13751416
Zudah
Geara Zulu for second place
>>13751612
22 will explode it.
I'm trying to build my EW Deathscythe, and the seams just aren't closing. I think it might be because I was using "Clear Parts Cement" instead of standard cement, but has anyone else has this problem?
>>13752013
You're a real idiot
plz have fun with robots
I wish I had the cash and time for this kit
I swear to holy Plamor I would give my life if it meant ending yours.
The people here don't deserve you

Do people generally buy 3 or 4 of their favorite grubt units for display. Been thinking about getting three more Graze and giving one a commander fin.
>>13752323
>Do people generally buy 3 or 4 of their favorite grubt units

>>13751116
astrays are so ugly
>>13752402
Well, I meant more as a squadron.
Has anyone here built any of the older F91 MGs like this one? How are they senpai?
>>13752628
>MG
If that's what you think they are, you're in for some disappointment.
hows Kimaris fampla?
So I got me a Barbatos and I also have the Jigen How are you hands so that I have more then just the hands it comes with. I been hearing some good things about the barbatos so am I in for a good time?
>>13751536
I can't tell what's wrong with this kit but it just looks so wrong
>>13751027
What is that model in your picture, where can I get it, why don't I already have 100 of them?
Also how much € is that gonna cost me?
>>13752628
If you don't mind polycaps and shiny plastic and aren't expecting much mobility, and want to paint and glue some stuff then they are great kits.
Otherwise they are your standard NG fare
>>13752684
What do you mean "don't mind polycaps" all kits have polycaps
>>13752680
1/35 Mechatro WeGo from Hasegawa with a limbless 1/35 soldier from a Tamiya kit crammed inside. You get two in a box and they are tiny, like half thr height of a standard hg.
I got the Nichijou one (The manga artist is doing the box art for the kits).
>>13752700
hahaha
>>13751612
A BB gun might be better for damage. Be careful or you'll shoot your monoeye out
JESUS
>>13751575
Are you trying to make a Rin custom Super Fumina?
maybe things just havent clicked yet but why is the 3.0 Gundam a ticking time bomb, and the leg pegs are smaller then the Unicorns so i'd have to put these back on every time i repose him
What Gundam is this?
>>13753046
I don't think a gerwalk gundam exists anon......
>>13753046
It's one of the 00 sidestory proof of concept gendums.
Was it Saldasuud? Shit I forget...
>>13753087
Clearly. You don't know your Gundam son.
>>13753094
It is a 00 Concept unit, I don't recall what it's name is though.
>>13753046
>>13753087
It's the Abulhool. Basically the Kyrios before they got the transformation right
>>13753095
Abulhool.
From 00P.
OMG
>>13753097
I want the 00P units so bad.
Especially Plutone.
>>13752700
MG Sinanju you stupid cucking newfag fuck.
Wanted to post a pic of my build, but the image limit got hit...
>>13753128
how's the v-fin anon? is it wonky and misaligned/off-center like I said?
>>13753167
A little bit but nothing I can't fix.
>>13753158
just upload it to puush orimgurand link it here.
>>13753158
then wait for the new thread you fuck
Just got my MG Unicorn, should I display it in Unicorn or Destroy mode? I really like the aesthetic when its in Unicorn, but I feel like its a bit of a disservice to not display it as a Gundamand no I'm not going to buy a second, its my last kit.
>>13755010
Why is it your last kit? Also, what do you think looks better? You're the one who has to look at it. It's not like you can't swap between Unicorn and Gundam either.
