***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.
Deadline: March 7

Report the spammer, the mods are aware of his shit and will ban him.
Ignore Snapshit and Airbrush. They are shitposters and not worth replying to, filter them and move on.

Hi Snapshit! What are you not removing nubs on today?
Feels pretty good when a layer of paint goes on flawlessly.
>Started watching IBO
>Hate the Barbatos design.
>Love Graze desi- what is this?... it has high heels?
>Why???
Dammit! The stupid heels ruined the whole suit for me!
>>13882219
How about the Grimgerde, then? Or you could just swap out the heels.
>>13882072
>airbrush
THERE'S ANOTHER ONE!?
is anyone having troubles with the rebake's right back hand cover? the other three stay on perfect but that one just falls off every ten seconds.
>>13882384
Yes but he's actually good. He's basically an anon who builds, cleans and panel lines and also has a trip cause he's a massive attention whore faggot. He's nothing like snapshiter.
So i know i'm doing my Gundam X in the Under the moonlight colors, but i got the Deathscythe any good paint jobs for him? so far i'm just thinking i'll paint all is parts the same color just to give it a better look besides the yellow which i'll paint gold.
>>13882408
No he is exactly the same, he acts the same and is a close friend of Snapshits by their own admission
>>13882408
uuh just making OOB builds doesn't make you good and his photos are too shit quality to see if there are any nubs anyway. He has no recorded use of an airbrush despite his name either, it's obviously just some gay shit to go along with snapshit's name.
But you know what? Even if he was a talented builder, he would still be a faggot because of his association with snapshit. That kid is literal cancer and I question the sanity of anyone who would willingly spend time with him.
>>13882540
So you question yourself?
Cause you're still here, willingly spending time with Snapfit.
>>13882384
WHO IS THE UN.OWEN?
speaking of airbrush, im looking forward to upgrade mine Taiwanese 3mm something something to a better one since the poor brush has been squirting paint drops at random. Should i go Iwata or Harder-Steenbeck? or try to fix the poorfags airbrush?
Can any of you guys recommend any mobile suits with good chicken legs?
>>13882594
Do you mean reverse joints?
>>13882596
yeah something like that i suppose. I want to model barbatos to have that kind of legs
>>13882599
http://www.dalong.net/review/hg/h128/h128_i.htm
>>13882610
I need something "meatier".
welp, i might mod this. I just need someone who scrapped Fuunsaiki. Thanks
>>13882219
it's ok you'll grow up one day
>>13882549
What? Where did I say I was Airbrush-kun or say I hung out with snapshit in that post? I'm assuming you know how to read, am I assuming too much? Or am I missing a joke you're trying to make? I am legitimately confused here.
>>13882767
The faggot's just arguing semantics with you because apparently being forced to share the same mongolian basket weaving forum is the same as willingly spending time with him
>third party shit
Time to start some work on the 1/35 Nu Gundam Head.
Who are the "good" tripfags of gunpla /m/?
Aside from the regulars like A new translator and that photobro guy who takes pretty pictures?
>>13883288
I've never stopped believing. Welcome back
>>13883315
ANT and Crash are alright.
>>13883315
>good
>tripfags
If we didn't know the gunpla trips well, your post would have been a good attempt at making it seem like ANT samefagging.
>>13883318
I'm ashamed to say that I only found out just now that my friend didn't order the LED set with the 1/35 head. (the order was back in July)
So no lighting up for now.
r8
>>13883351
and yes i do wish I had the LED set, even more so than before now.
>>13882596
Reborns got some funky legs but the style is totally different from Barbatos
>>13883351
Just to let you know, witing your own basic LED is stupidly easy. Especially for something like a giant head like that. Just need a small bulb, a couple of basic watch batteries, and a wire. If you are just wiring a small LED to a small battery you don't even really need a resistor. They also sell battery holders for cheap if you don't want to make your own.
All in all you can make your own LED for under ten dollars with parts leftover for more LED and if you use twist wire you don't even need to solder anything.
There are a ton of easy to follow guides for LED out there on google.
My first attempts at painting. How did I do?
>>13883429
ANT being from the UK and all are you going that gunpla convention in April
>>13883492
These Legend BB kits are simple a lot of fun. I'm working on the Knight Unicorn next.
OMG
>>13883492
Ayy pretty shit desu fqmm
Maybe go back to your hugbox over in /toy/
Guy I heard that someone want info of cathedral gundam from the instruction manual
>>13883498
Can't say the same bout those new ex-standard ones though.
Worse parts separation, less gimmicks, and stickerfest.
Only thing they got going for em is better and more stylized proportions and surface detail.
>>13883473
I hear you. Especially with the led slots in the kit looking to be the standard size, and the fact that it has a massive battery compartment to place wires and shit inside the neck, it'd be a crime if I didn't DIY down the line.
>>13883492
What techniques did you use?
>>13883493
>UK
I'm in Hong Kong now though, so no. There's a UK gunpla convention?
>>13883520
wow really? you lucky fuck going to MK all the time for gunpla.
But yeah some supplier set some gunpla con in the UK
>>13882245

why even live?
>>13883492
The details on Knight's sword and lance look good.
Guess what arrived!!
>>13882892
Oh, thanks for clearing that up man. Sometimes it's hard for me to follow the logic of faggot shitposters.
>>13883315
Richigo and Gerbil are pretty talented. I enjoy seeing the progress of their work posted on here. ANT is quite talented as well, although his presence is scarce these days unfortunately, and aside from building gunpla well, he has previously contributed to the /m/ community by translating gundam mangas, so he's a good guy in my book.
>>13883492
looks pretty damn good man.
Zero da best.
>>13883315
What if you used to be a tripfag on /m/ in general but dropped it for everything else except for releasing things?
>>13883772
All this fucking useless gimmick like sliding head panels.I love it.
Plastic quality has been surprisingly good so far. Compared to the FPM Exia R3 conversion kit (that I'm still working on) plastic quality, the Magic Toys one is miles ahead, including mold quality. Half the time you wouldn't believe it's third party plastic. (It's made in Taiwan) It is let down by a few silly runner gate placement and some unnecessarily large nubs but it is nothing common sense can't fix, nor is it a glaring fault compared with other usual nub placements on this kit. The plastic feels alright to work on and sand normally as opposed to maybe some 80s-kit-ABS-feeling oily plastic.
>inb4shilling
>>13883546
>all that plastic dust and miniscule shavings on the model
Jesus Christ
It irks me that people just cannot blow or gently wipe the plastic off a bit on their model so it looks good in pictures
>>13883808
It's pretty obviously just some quick WIP shots. And when you've been sanding and scratch building the dust doesn't come off just by gently wiping or blowing on it. You need to wash it and potentially scrub the parts as well to get it all off.
>>13883861
Who doesn't clean their pieces after sanding it before assembly? I always give my pieces a good blow or wipe to make sure it looks clean before I assemble, and I never even take pictures. It's called putting in effort.
>>13883789
I really want to see this finished.
>>13883943
You mean pointless effort. Its probably just a test to see how it looks before disassembling for painting, at which point you do give the parts a good cleaning.
>>13883555
dragon dildos
>>13883498
>Knight Unicorn
Pics of that please.
Finished making an ab-crunch for this, popping a ball joint in the torso was easy since the width of the old polycap was pretty much the same as the ball polycap that comes in modern HGs.
I can't think about anything else to do to this kit before painting it other than cleaning up the torso. After sanding, seam welding and nodding the torso/skirt I've probably hit a good stopping point. I suppose I cam work on a custom head, but it's good for now.
Now to just wait for the weather to get better.
>>13884181
How did you do the shoulder joint?
>>13884181
Oh huh, are you doing a Symphogears custom of the Heavyarms too?
My MG's ready for painting and I got the 1/100's gatlings attached, but I'm stuck on the color scheme phase. All I've got is this basic looking palette swap.
>>13884031
not him, but here's one while you wait
>>13884225
I took the shoulder joints from one of those 0083 GM HGUCs and threw some pla plate in to hold it in place. It's kinda held in place by spit and string but it works pretty solidly for a first try at something like this.
>>13884234
Any correlations to Zenbus may or may not be coincidental.
>>13884234
Why not TITANS colours?
This kind of look takes a primer base coat then light grey coat then lighter white airbrushed from the center of the part to almost the edge?
Not something you could do without an airbrush?
>>13884269
Look up preshading or postshading
>>13884234
As for palette swaps I'm thinking of going with the middle. S1's is a bit too dark for me and the GX 1 is too red. G's feels like a good in-between
>>13884289
>>13884250
>>13884181
here a mods done by some guy in japan of zenbu to get a better idea
>>13884276
Thanks.
Happen to know how to make decals? I can't freehand detail paint but there are some emblems I want.
>>13884289
Happy Valentine's Day Heavyarms-kun
>>13884306
Send a high res png to Samual and he'll print off some decals for ya.
>>13884289
Oh wow, thanks. Yeah the G one looks way better than what I had.
>>13884316
Thanks but it is neither Valentines Day nor is Chris muh waifu
>>13884289
all of these look edible.
finally got some of the painting done, built both heads to see how they looked.
i'm defintely going to repaint some of the gun metal to black
>>13884413
You're the anon doing the Kai's black Gundam X from Under the Moonlight, right? Keep it up, I really want to see it finished.
Anyone know if the REVIVE Gyan wascancelled?
>>13884550
Are you a robot designed to say retarded things? It's the only thing that explains your remarkable consistency.
>>13884550
What? They don't cancel things like that you fucking moron
>>13884289
I've got nothing to say on the subject of accuracy, but as straight colour schemes the third one is my favourite I guess. All of them have a huge disconnect in colour usage, though. Some foreground elements are red, some are white, occasionally they're that godawful... puce? I think it's the colour of something my grandmother drinks.
I submit the scheme to the left. As I said, I'm not familiar with your subject matter so feel free to disregard me if you're going for complete accuracy.
>>13884514
thanks, it probably wont be 100% accurate since i kinda want to keep the silver faceplate, but we'll see
Picked these up today. Which one should I build /m/?
>>13884623
SOLOMON
>>13884623
GP02 easy
So I want to kitbash a HG Barbatos but can't afford Avalanche Exia nor RG Wing Zero
So, are there any parts compatible with Barbatos that comes form kits that costs JPY 1000-1200
>>13884681
save your allowance little man
Is this a bootleg? I seriously can't tell
>>13884697
Appears to be the RD. Not a kit.
>>13884681
What is the aim of your kitbash? What is the look you are going for cause Avalanche Exia and Wing are 2 different type of kits aesthetically
>accidentally ordered GM301 instead of the panel lining one
Dammit.
>stickers are so tedious, I wish I could paint instead
it just gets worse
>>13884623
Why do people let their dogs sit on the bed? Sleeping in filth? Did you plan it all out just in the vain hope some anon will say, "cool dog?"!
Also>>13884626
>>13884623
The HG Physalis is my absolute personal favorite . It may not be the most 'advanced' in terms of articulation but its proportions are damn near 100% anime accurate.
>>13884623
The dog.
>>13884743
I want to use Avalanche armor and the Wing backpack on Barbatos
>>13884843
So a armoured unit with wings?
>>13884854
yep
>>13884569
>What? They don't cancel things like that you fucking moron
oh, really? Pic related.
>>13884820
a updated MG with the ablity to actually hold his shield would be pure sex
>>13882025
Is it possible to thin your paints too much?
>>13884887
Of course it is what are you thinking
>>13883555
MG gaia gear alpha
... or Dragon dildos
>>13884880
Cool meme kid
>>13884860
If you looking for actual wings I think playing around with Zeta would be a nice choice, but if thruster are also considered then G-Lucifer would be also great
I was planning on saying Rinascita but that is currently sold out.
If you are shit out of luck look at a jp guy on twitter called @ovareman_PR
his gunpla has nice wing designs too but more energy wings than actual wings
armour the only choice other than exia might be Crossbone Gundam X-1 Full Cloth for that bulky feel. Not sure if that would work for Bara frame though
honestly you should wait for bara 6th form for the armour cause at least then you know for sure it will fit
>>13883533
its called G-con ad the main site so far is... sparce to say the least.
https://g-con.uk/
To add on a question an anon had in the previous thread RE; Sinanju Stien, is there a canon colour for the psychoframe like in manual writing or anything? I'm planning on the getting the Armed Armor DE for the shield and I'm wondering which would be the most 'accurate'.
Obviously that's subjective but I'd like to hear opinions regardless.
>>13884623
Cool dog
>>13884947
Why not the Mega Shiki booster for the wings? Unless anon wants large ones.
>>13885031
well I was going for wing like thruster hence the double thruster
I'm about to begin a project with custom colors of
the MG EW suits minus Epyon (might do that later)
I'm trying to come up with one for Tallgeese.
with Sparta as the inspiration but I don't know.
Anyone have any ideas or inspirations?
I've noticed that dominant primary works well
with this suit.
>>13885065
God Damn Tallgeese is a good looking suit. Just the right amount of badass mixed with a mass produced look.
>>13885077
It really is. I'm trying to do it justice with a great
color scheme, but to be honest I keep going back
to the original. It's hard to stray away from it.
so how many times is 'it' going to be reposted tonight?
>>13885209As many times as he can replug his router?
>>13884819
I like to cuddle him.
Current WIP.
I think I'm going to go with a "Proto-Strike Zeta" look for this guy, hence the shield direction and the Hyper Mega Launcher.
working on my old and busted ZZ custom, going to install eyes and weapon leds tomorrow.i'll fix the fucking seam lines somedaystill waiting for it's mega ride launcher to arrive
Hey guys, what color would you paint the power cables on the Zeta 2.0 to make them pop?
>>13885289
>those proportions
>>13885302
It's NG and i kinda like it's bulk
Ok just finished my first zuku model
Compliments/critiques welcome
>>13885302
they're pretty accurate for me
>>13885316
Did you hard carve it out of terracotta or something?
Don't get me wrong, I thought "the Emperor's Terracotta Zaku Army" was a great movie too but this is... This is a bit much, don't you think?
>>13885316
You're not fooling anybody, try again later. Pick an older image next time.
amateur builder here, trying to do the group build for the first time. i wanted to glue a couple pieces together and i wondered if the glue i had would work well. its elmers craftbond rubber cement.

What's up with theAngel Beatsthing?
>>13885487
barely 50, so normally i'd not risk it but the sun was strong out so i did it while it was, good thing to, not a hour after i finished it got colder and started raining. so i'll wait till friday to repaint Kai's X

>>13883315
Snapfit since he actually drives discussion and get people posting on these threads.
Unlike that holier than thou, elitist shithead richigosuckmyass who only posts to get retards sucking his attention whoring tripfag dick
>>13885566
I love how you slip up like this and show everyone how salty you really are
>>13885566
Yeah I love all the "fuck you you worthless sack of shit" posts that he brings to this thread
>>13885566
Incorrect. Snapshit only shitposts and drives people complaining about his shitposting.
what is the period for bandai to announce new kits i am getting bored waiting
>>13883315
>that photobro guy who takes pretty pictures
who? that guy from italy or something?
>>13884623
your dog clearly says you are a faggot if you don't build the gp 02
>>13885566
cause snapshit certainly doesn't act holier than thou right? with him constantly telling people that their work looks like shit even though he's the worst builder i've ever encountered. i honestly haven't seen richigo act "holier than thou" but if he has, at least he has the fucking skills to back it up. and if you think he's attention whoring and snapshit isn't, you clearly have a 4 year old's grasp of the english language.
now of course this is all assuming you aren't snapshit yourself getting super salty, snapshits gay bff with that sweet sweet fanart of you guys hugging in the rain, or a shitposter fishing for (you)s.
>>13885566
you are just a jelly fuck
grow up and improve your skills
I just finished the 00 Raiser GN blade 3 HG.
Not gonna post pics because it's a snapfit with nubmarks and I'm not proud of it.
Is there a way to have him hold his weapons more securely? Everything feels loose as fuck from the beam sabers to the GN blade 2.
>>13885771Add some putty/glue on the inside of the hands to make them hold things more tightly
>>13885771
Depending on your skill level, I'd suggest either to shove some bluetac in the hands, add a layer or two of future or fit magnets into the weapons and hands.
>>13885706
He might be talking about that guy with the DSLR who posts the same images of the MG Unicorn/ 00 Qant and deletes them 10 minutes later, but then again that guy's not a tripfag

Armored Girls aren't kits though, neither are the NX Edge. HOWEVER I do need to add the SD-EX Unicorn to the list though now that you've mentioned it. So we're at 55 kits.
>>13886089
Oh yeah I was just listing Unicorn stuff at that point. Forgot GFF and metal whatevers but never mind.
I wonder how much money they've made off of Unicorn variants alone.
>>13886097
God only knows anon. Especially once you toss in the Robot Damashii's as well and such.
>>13886046
It sure as hell won't be the Stark Jegan because GMs sell poorly, and considering the Unicorn TV rumor and seeing a rumor about the Unicorn getting a RG it's likely to be the Unicorn out of those three with Sinanju likely to get one as well after the Unicorn.
>Unicorn TV rumor
Wait. What?
I've been eyeing the MG MS cage Unicorn, how is it?
Dalong's broken english and pics can only tell so much. I'd like to hear from someone who owns one.
>>13886104
From what I read on /m/ a while ago Unicorn might be getting a TV adaptation. Shit's still selling I guess

fake and gay rumor about UC being re-cut and edited (with new footage and possibly add on stuff from the last novel since it wasn't out) into 24-26 episodes. No proof, only a rumor started here because someone pretended to translate an article.
>>13886113
For what purpose? The OVAs were concise and everything was finished up. I mean I guess if you just broke the OVAs up into like a 16 episode series or something?
>>13886116
Ah. OK. that makes a lot more sense.
>>13886104
Apparently they are going to break up the OVAs into TV episodes with some additional scenes to fill time and help the story flow.
>>13886118
>it ends up like the Break Blade ova to tv conversion
>>13886117
Keep in mind that the thread about the rumor had one guy vehemently denying it as a possibility.
>>13886130
I'm not that guy but /m/ believes dumb shit like that every other week. Don't know what exactly he said but he was probably right. I wouldn't put it past Bandai to do it but that thread had 0 evidence.
A prequel with S(guttural noises)jew Stein would be cool, though.
Anyone of you guys have blacklights just to check how your kit looks like using them?
>>13886139
i use it to check cumstains
>>13885149
I can't think of any other suit that pulls off a nearly solid white scheme as well.
>>13885065
I did a Roman Tallgeese scheme, it's been posted a few times.
Could someone post the edit of this
>>13886152
AHEM!
Heard you talking shit.
>>13886046
God dammit the HG versions of all these kits are already really nice.
Having an RG of any of these is just redundant.
Plus I'm butthurt because I have all of these
>>13886162
Hey look, a mythical creature.
built the Body of X, think i'll leave that like it is, but rain out of gun metal before i could paint the vulcan barrels.
holy shit this Scythe is pure Sex
>>13886160
I assume you mean this one?
>>13886156
fucking saved, i might try that sometime
>>13886188
Yep, thanks.
>>13886136
I kinda doubt it myself but Unicorn did pretty well and Banrise would love a second lick at selling more Unicorn merch. Plus I'd be interested to see what they expand and add.
>>13886196
You might also be interested in this one.
>>13886069
Far more kits than that suit deserved if you ask me. I mean it's not like it's a Zaku it was always a pretty meh gundam.
>>13886141
I have a blacklight in the lamp on my beside table. That way I don't scorch my retinas if I need to find my phone or grab a glass of water in the middle of the night.
>>13886156
Looks better than the Spartan one for some reason, and I'm a sucker for Tallgeese classic white.
>>13886162
Yeah and I stand by it. Jesus those suits look bland.
>>13886210
Van is too clean looking, but it's a solid joke.
>>13886156
Has someone actually done this?
>>13886233
And we all know REAL pedovans don't have those rear windows. Just the driver's, passengers and windshield.
>>13886046
>RG Unicorn with Destroy mode gimmick.
I can already feel myself cutting my fingers.

yup, good for clear kits
>>13886238
I didn't make either but the Toyota Hiace is basically the Japanese equivalent of our Ford Transit Van as the white windowless candyvan.
I'm pretty new one it comes to gunpla and I recently bought some gundam markers the pour type. today as I was using them I noticed that one of them didn't rattle when I shook it and paint doesn't pour out. I don't think it's empty since I can hear paint slosh around and I hardly used it. what's up with it?
>>13886247
You have to suck on the tip a little bit to get the siphon going.

Not even once.

What a shit pedo.

daily haul :P
Finally got a Border Break Shrike along with a load of armored core parts.
Also, welcome back ANT
>>13886162
Yeah, but they don't sell well.
>>13886442

also welcome back ANT hopefully your presence will help drive the shitposters outi really need to get around to actually painting this
Do you think they'll make a 1/100 Graze Custom and Graze Custom II?
>>13886464

>>13886442
Gonna do anything special with the Zaku or Gouf? If I recall you have a Gouf Custom conversion kit.
>>13886046
>People still go to that shit's website.
I love how even Japs and shit hate that guy.
>>13886523
Didn't some Chinese site put up images with watermarks saying something like "gundamguy is an American pig dog who steals images" or something like that?
Hey everyone, does this thread also cover Macross model kits? If so, I have a question: A friend of mine began watching the original series and really wanted to start out building models with something from Macross. Are there any recommendations on good beginner models or what brand he should be looking for or avoiding? Thanks.
>>13886518
STILL waiting on the neograde gouf conversion.
Paid for it over 2 months ago....
>>13886628
snapfags should stay away from hasegawa
>>13886460
>hopefully your presence will help drive the shitposters out
I'm pretty sure my presence only spur him/them on, as per before and now. I've been very behind: are there any news on the next RG after Quanta, and are there any new photso of the RG Quanta? inb4gundamguy news
The majority of work still to go on the R3 conversion including seam-weld and panel wash and decals and coat and all the clean up shit. I need more time and space.
>>13886139
Black light can be very damn fun with the luminous plastic Bandai does with some of the kits. Not to mention with those aftermarket UV stickers.
>>13886648
I'm still waiting to have some talent before I buy and try the neograde Gouf conversion.
Have a color scheme in mind for yours?
>>13886241
You forgot P-Bandai Unicorn Phenex.
>>13886156
Thanks for the inspiration...I might try this or a variation.
Asking here too.
What color should I generally panel line weapons or parts that are dark grey / black? Or do you leave them as is?
>>13886731
No news on next RG next other than gundamguy reporting rumors as usual. I'm hoping forHeavyarms.
>>13886780
It depends, on the scale of the kit/detail, and the effect you ultimately want to achieve. Generally black on grey should be fine, but if it is a very dark base and colour and you do still wish to accentuate the edge, some people do a lightly lighter colour, silver, or slightly dry-brushing the edge a slightly lighter colour to make the gap/line look "darker". For grooves opening more than a right angle, people generally tend not to line them, dark base colour or not.
>>13886742
planning on just having it in 2-3 tones of blue, nothing too fancy
>>13886165
It's a rumor. GG doesn't fact check or actually know any Japanese/Chinese. He just pulls stuff off other sites.
Unicorn getting an RG has been a rumor floating around for a couple of years now and pops back up between every release. There are multiple fake announcement images of it. Here's one from 3 years ago.
>>13886821
I wonder how frustrating building that would be especially if it had the transformation gimmick.
>>13886816
No Char Gouf
>>13886046
My money is on Sinanju.
>>13886821
>RG Unicorn
exploding grenade and another thing they can jew the fuck out of it
no thanks
Started my rgm 79c today. Sadly my new puppy ate the antenna piece so it just looks like the space marine from doom
>>13886139
I was super disappointed when it turned out Build Burning's blue parts don't glow under blacklights.
GM visors are pure sex under a blacklight, however.
>>13886532
They did, yeah.
That made my day.
>>13886721
I see. Anything else? I heard Bandai models have some issues because of how they use the transforming gimmick.
>>13887098
no
you either deal with bandai or git gud and build hasegawa
>>13887126
>>13887130
>>13886904
No John you are the zakus
>>13886293
I can dream, Harold!
Speaking of dreams...
Tell me your dream kitbash. You have all the parts, the knowledge and the skill to build your perfect kitbash, exactly the way you dream it to be. It's as if Sei Iori himself descended from Gunpla Heaven to bless your hands with his prowess.
What's your kitbash?
>>13887456
Full Armor RX-0 Plan B
100% this is my fucking dream kitbash
>>13887456
Forget making a kitbash I just want a 1/100 Dendrobium. Hang that bitch from my ceiling.
>>13887634
I hope you have a pretty high ceiling.
>>13887634
You realize a 1/100 Dendro would probably collapse your ceiling and crush your cat?
Anyways, why not just settle for the 1/144 like everyone else?
Crunchyroll is even selling it!

>>13887648
Hey let the man dream big!
>1/144
>settle
If only.
>>13887648
I really want one of these despite knowing I have nowhere to put it. Hell, I probably don't even have enough space to build it.
>>13887456
Probably a Z+ C1 Hummingbird.
Or a Deep Striker.
>>13887474
That's not even that hard to make, dude.
All you need is a Unicorn DM, a Banshee DM, and the Phenex Gundam. The hardest thing to get would be the Hyper Beam Javelin as that thing it super rare. Assuming you one day get the money to afford all those kits, all you'd need to do is replace the Unicorn and Banshee Psychoframe bits with the Phenex Psychoframe bits and then paint the armor white.
Jegan WIP
>>13887727
try not to damage your stuff so shittily like that and my god man your paints need to be thin.
>>13887643
I do. It's probably 13-14 feet to the bottom of the center beam.
>>13887648
Is this a theme that everyone in this general is terrible at basic homeownership? You just sink a few eye screws into a beam and run thin cable to key parts of the objects frame. It's not rocket science. If fat drunk wrinkly swingers can manage to secure a sex harness to hoist up their sex slaves then I can hang a model.
Get a 1/144....you disgust me this was in response to the bluesky kitbash gunpla fantasy post not the "what's a mundane way you can almost achieve your dreams, but settle" post.
>>13887729
that's not paint, it's salt that I haven't brushed off yet for chipping effects.
>>13886821
>touch the unicorn rg anywhere
>all the pieces of it have now been scattered across the world
