***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.

Reminder. Do not respond respond to snapshit. If someone responds to him in any form resembling positivity, he is samefagging through another device, when he Avatarfags, report him.
>>13989569
I'll do what I want, you fucking faggot. Who the fuck do you think you are?
Quick potato photo, but muh Zaku.
Some of the leg parts wont fully snap together and I need to go over them again since I painted the parts separately, airbrush troubles gave a shitty coat for the colour highlight, and I forgot to paint the nose.
However rhinestones are pretty neat to use for lenses, next up I'm going to dirty up the armour and maybe paint some stripes on the shield.
>>13989720
Fix the shading on the right leg dude, looks weird as hell, the rest are nicely done though. I recommend getting a bottle of plastic cement to fix those gigantic seamlines.
What are you guys working on?
Here's mine.
>>13989720
What size Rhinestone do you typically use?
>>13989777
I think it was 3mm? They pretty much fit perfectly inside the scopes of the zook and rifle, and look dope when the light catches them.
>>13989736
You should see the left leg, there's a whole patch missing! I think I might go back to half assembling models rather than painting the individual parts, it just ends up messy since the snap pins are so incredibly tight if paint gets on them.
>>13989770
Gaplant.
And I'm seeing if I can prime outside, so that I can finally paint this shit I'm doing.
>>13989770
Waiting on some new silver paint so I can finish detailing my EFSF Zaku F2.
After that I'll assemble my GM Custom. All of its parts are cleaned up and ready to go, I just have to wait a bit before I can paint the details I want to do.
![Untitled-55[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/WkHrIqL.jpg "Untitled-55[1].jpg")
Hoping to get the 1/144 HGGT FULL ARMOR GUNDAM (GUNDAM THUNDERBOLT VER.) soon, but I read that there's gonna be an anime version to be released in april. Should I just wait for that or pick up the older model. From the pictures I can't really tell the difference apart from a slight color tweak.
>>13989889
It it just a slight color tweak and (probably) some new decals, Pick the older one if you're going to paint it.
>>13989936
Alright, I'll just pick it up on the next restock then.
posting the best custom
Reminder: You will never see this custom.

>>13989936
Imagine a Real Grade Thunderbolt gunpla.
>>13990231
There's no sign of that happening yet right?
>>13989850
As a fellow rhinestone user, I approve. I usually sand mine down to be a bit more rounded. And yeah, like >>13989736 said, fix dem seamlines, and the zaku's right leg.
>>13989850
Yeah, partial assembly by color is usually a good idea to do when painting, rather than the individual parts.
>>13990231
the static pose in that pic is probably the only pose it can do if it were an RG
mfw running out of room to store boxes has become a reality.
Whatever. Does it need black dye?
>>13990308
Time to collapse the boxes, carefully cut down the seams of the box and flatten them, will save like 90% of that shelf space.
>>13990308
Why would you store boxes? Wait, is- is that a fridge?!

>not keeping your gunpla in the fridge
I seriously hope you guys blah blah blah whatever, you get the idea.
>>13990356
Yeah but you see the problem with that I store extra accessories and parts in the boxes so I don't lose them etc.
>>13990364
It's my closet.
>>13990377
Well I have two of each Elf Bullock for the same reason; displaying both modes at once.
Still trying
>>13990392
Do you keep the accessory parts to each gunpla in its box? If so you can organise them into a draw or something, correctly labeled.
If you just have a bunch of random accessory parts you can store them in a couple of the boxes and collapse the rest.
>>13989889
Can someone tell me the point of wasting the money to make the manga version as well as the anime version since there's just some minor differences?
>>13990419
It's "NEW!"
I know it's probably just coincidence, but...
>>13990459
>>13990415
That's actually a really good suggestion. I'll remember that one.
Who's that Gundamon!
The picture doesn't compare to eyesight, but Vallejo model air scarlet red paired with gloss varnish is fucking sexy as hell.
Anyone know where to get an MG EX-S to Canada for cheap? All the stores are expensive as fuck with shipping.

You're welcome, always get creative with your work space, shelves and set ups in general.
I recommend watch Adam Savages videos on https://www.youtube.com/user/testedcom
A lot of a good ideas and inspiration come from seeing his workshop.

>[Excited thruster noises]
Correcto, although it'll be using the regular colours. I think I might still pre-shade some of the white armour recessed areas with dark grey, as I don't want it looking pristine.
Although it's funny comparing the 90mm Submachine gun vs. the older 100mm Submachine gun previously ground types used, the barrel is tiny!
You guys think Mika would appreciate a big ass beam sword?
>>13990905
I think he would like one.
I'm still working on this, waiting for my red paint marker to come in so I can do marks on the legs, shoulders and chest
>>13990459
I really like what he did with the feet. Doesn't look like too hard of a scratchbuild/mod either.
>>13989770
Still need to sand down seam lines on my Gelgoog and finish detail painting my Barbatos. I have no drive to do anything anymore

Aw shit, I've lost the thumb part of a right hand feddie MS trigger finger. Might be able to get away using a beam saber hand and carving off the index finger to match up, but this is dumb.
>>13991165
Break out the pla-plate or buy a hand set. No need to keep butchering when you can replace and potentially make your skills better.
>>13991203
I must've stepped into the the twilight zone.
I got to work chopping up another hand and broke a blade, managed to quite cleanly slice off a finger gap and all is well. Had a look over at over things when I went retard mode and tipped over the whole box of parts onto the floor.
Scooped the whole lot back up... and then I find the fucking hand part I lost, madness.

Fllay, normally your customs are fairly ambitious and make sense stylistically. This doesn't seem very intriguing. With the green ZII and that X Divider there seemed to be more thought behind them, the SBS doesn't warrant much of a pirate motif IMO.

Try to put it on a stick so that its easier to sand and polish.

The old GMs hold up pretty well and usually cost around 8-11 USD, they also make excellent seam welding practice
I promise I'm not a dirty hippie, but is there such thing as eco-friendly plamo?
I only want to know out of sheer curiosity.
I'm talking about things like biodegradable plastic, as well as kits that use up significant amounts of the runner (leaving very little leftover scrap behind).
At least the packaging seems appropriate. Nearly all plamo come in cardboard boxes, with the runners wrapped in very little plastic.
>>13992351
What about those frame robo things? It's not biodegradable but you fold up the entire runner into the one robot so there's not any leftover plastic.
>>13991394
>>13991703
For now. Soon though...
>>13992351
There were some releases of the HG Gundam and Zaku made of uncolored recycled plastic a few years back. Overpriced, of course.
Really, you're probably better off just taking the runners to a recycling plant.
>>13992365
Who are these inappropriately dressed shotas?

>>13992280
Next time I have time at the range I'm going to build a bunch of GMs and shoot them up. I want to do it with Zakus too but they're a little more expensive.

My Gyan is still a work in progress I have some tools on order but I'm still kinda new to gunpla however I have quite shaky hands and i'm worried I might damage it later what are some good poses I can use when he is finally complete? I have tried posing him but I'm not a clever man and a good pose kinda escapes me
>>13992236
Aayyy, relax Char.
No one starts at the top, some times people just need a little creative nudge to get the brain going.
Also do you have any cool ideas about Gunpla? Storage or otherwise?
>>13992411
Stop using dial-up old man and get broadband internet.
>>13992459
Get yourself the Valuable Pod kit and turn that Gyan into a Gyan Vulcan.
>>13992480
I actually got the valuable pod but i'm unsure if they are compatible this Gyan seems to be much older and was cast in 94 if the time stamp on the runners are to be believed Perhaps it is simply my inexperience I will re go over the instructions but my gyans back doesn't seem to support it.
>>13992494
There should only be two different kinds of HG Gyans. The standard Gyan kit that's existed for years, and the Revival kit that isn't even released yet.
>>13992365
wat the fuck is that
>>13992508
http://dalong.net/review/old/f14/f14.htm
They made Gyans before the HG
What do you guys think will be announced first Mg Barbatos or G-Self?
>>13992519
You'll take care to note that I was only ever talking about HG Gyans. Never once tried to involve any other grade.
>>13992575
since Barbie already has a 1/100, he'll probably get an MG first but they'll wait till the end of the show so they can have it be "Barbatos form 1" and then an option parts set to change and swap between all the other forms.

Thank you for making me rethink my Gyan my inexperience got the better of me I was supposed to removed a part of pods base and only use the smaller part
I'm happy to know I can actually combine them though I was let down by the beam sabers in pod they were mustard yellow instead of clear yellow I guess its so you can paint them I dont think I'm ready for that yet.
Thank you again and I aplogise for the mess my models are all pretty much works in progress as I wait for tools to come in order

>>13989720
>rhinestones
Fuck, why didn't I think of that?
This is my backlog. Everything on this list is HG, except for Spiegel (which is either FG or "Early HG"), and Star Winning (which is SD).
My current gameplan is to start with Spiegel, since I have the least to lose if/when I fuck up (I bought two of them and they cost very little money).
Then I'll move onto the Star Winning Gundam, because everyone tells me that SDs are piss-easy to build.
Then if my confidence hasn't completely shattered, I plan on moving to the GMs, due to their relatively simple design.
Then once I'm done that, I'll move onto the next simplest designs, such as the Guncannon or the RX-78-2. I plan on gradually building my way to more complicated designs this way.
>>13992752
>All that
>Haven't built a single kit yet
How in the fuck do you acquire so much yet do so little? Did you just blow like $400 on kits without so much as opening one and attempting it? What the fuck is wrong with you?
Honest question, why do people buy High Grade? They arent very fun to build and they dont look very good, too basic for my liking.
>>13992788
> and they dont look very good
lmao get good
>>13992752
What the fuck man send me some kits I'll let you keep the boxes since you like them so much
>>13992788
There are many HG kits that will never ever see an MG
>>13992792
Get good at what?! I cant change the basic design of HG's.
>>13992796
Hmm, good to know. Thank you for a decent answer.
>>13992782
>What the fuck is wrong with you?
Lots of things.
I imported large quantities from Japan because it's cheaper in the long run this way. Then sometimes I'll find a kit that is rare/sells out quickly, and I just have to have it. But there's no way I'm paying such murderous shipping charges for a single kit, so I'll add various other kits to my cart to justify the shipping.
I've also committed a lot of time to my new job, which also has a fairly long commute. I've done plenty of overtime already, and I foresee lots of overtime in the following fiscal year.
To add on top of that, I recently moved, which gave me even less time to work on Gunpla. I was busy packing boxes rather than opening them.
I'm not offended by your post at all. It was a legitimate question.Plus, if you knew how much money I spent on other hobbies, this would seem like absolutely nothing.
>>13992813

>>13992848
I would add decals but none of the kits I have have them. And I don't have a facebook so I can't buy them from Samuel Decal. If you know a way to get some cool decals for my HGs let me know please.
>>13992848
Depends on the HG. Most modern HGs (ie: released in the past ~3 years) are actually pretty darn intricate. Heck, some are built similarly to early MGs.
>>13992848
>barely articulated ways
Modern HGs are incredibly articulated, you dumbass.
>>13992788
Cheaper, smaller, and a lot more suit variety than MGs.

Same anon you're replying to. What's your deal with the build? Any inspiration specifically, or lineart for the colors you plan? I'm not saying quit, just want to learn more. At the least we've seen you have skill to back up your thought, so I won't just bash you.
I'm getting in 3 zudah's 3 zakuI and a Zaku Sniper any idea for paint things I bought brush's but I noticed most people use air brush's will I not be able to paint them like a Car?
>>13993187
Grammar, do you have it?
Type out the post properly so I can parse what the fuck you're talking about at the end with the brushes. Do you mean you want to hand paint with physical brushes like in art? Yes, you can do that. It's not as easy to look good as with airbrushed, but it's possible with practice.
>>13993204
Sorry my English is quite poor. I have tried to get better but i think my brain isn't good. Yes I plan to hand brush them but I'm not sure where to start.
I have herd from /tg/ that if you dont water down your paint it is bad do this apply to gunpla to?
>>13993186
Oh nothing, it's CEfying a Crossbone. It's as simple as that. Though I am going to paint it with Either X-1 or X3 colors
>>13993241
Yes, you want to water down the paint. Thinner can be used, or sometimes water. It depends on the paint brand. Don't buy random art store paints, look online at what brands you have neat you that are for modeling. Tamiya, Testors, Vallejo, those types of brands. You can buy hand brushes in packs generally, I've heard sable brushes are well made.
Have you read the guide at the top? It has useful info on all this stuff.
>>13993260
Well, if you're using a CE Gundam as a base then that's making a Crossbone of a CE suit, not making a CE version of the Crossbone. That would mean giving the Crossbone CE elements. Either way, keep us updated. Maybe work the foot daggers onto the SBS somehow, have it use a flintlock pistol and give it a skull on the chest with paint or plastic. If it weren't for the cape right now I wouldn't be able to tell it was related to Crossbone.
Test-fitting for a 'kitbash' I have planned. Gonna use Zabanya's limbs and chest armor and the LBWS Mk II to make some sort of mecha musume thing out of this bootleg figma.
>>13991066
who the hell is that in the bottom right corner, behind the front gm
>>13993312
Why are you test fitting with different parts? Unless you're just checking if it's compatible with any parts at all. Good use of the figma though, we need more mecha musume.

I used labeled ziplocs for a long time, but my mom worked at a local jewelry store so I have tons of tiny boxes of every shape and size. I just labeled the side with the related kit. Organization is key and should vary depending on storage method. Number everything. With ziplocks in a drawer it'll be increasingly tedious to find exactly what you're looking for with every kit added. I keep my boxes in the Attic, but the basement is good too if you can protect them from the moisture. (My basement sucks that way.) If you live in an apartment, you might be better off using the boxes as mural art/collage, or collapsing them. If not, there's little to no excuse for allowing them to clutter too much. Your parent's won't mind if storing your shit in the basement means a cleaner room/closet.
Also since snapfit kun needs this tip worst of all.
Rather than using 3 or 4 different grades of sandpaper use just the hobby knife to get it close and use the 2K grit and cloth for finishing touches.
I could go on about scratch building and painting techniques but that'd go over his head and would be too much for to post and write now. And I'd want to post it somewhere else so it wouldn't disappear completely in a couple weeks.
And lastly, there is ZERO excuses for not panel lining a kit, you can use a mechanical pencils, sharpies, just about ANY marker. Crayola, you name it. Fuck if you have to borrow your little brother's/sister's crayons you CAN make it work. You might not be able to get everything with crayons, when I was little I melted them and poured the liquid over the panel and scraped off the excess with my fingernail careful not to scrape into the line.
If you don't panel line you're just a retard or an asshole who can only orgasm after he shitposts.
>>13992190
Man, that new face looks pretty cute but I hate the fact that it's just another fucking Gundam in disguise of something else entirely. Why must Sunrise retcon away some of the diversity that older MS had?

It didn't really have much of a face.

>>13993729
A closer look.
>>13993729
Wasn't it always a prototype gundam before zeon stole it and modified it?
>>13993834
It was originally a frame with some half completed parts but yes it was originally intended to be the GP04 gundam. It was cancelled halfway through construction when they decided that with the GP01's FB equipment its purpose would be redundant.
>Stole
An AE exec spruced it up and sold it to them off the books.
>>13993843
Source pls anon-kun-o-tachi
>>13993834
>>13993843
Welp, I feel rather silly now sperging out like that. 'Scuse me.Although I still feel it could be sold just fine without having the Gundam name arbitrarily attached to it.
>>13993834
>>13993729
You two have some details right, but not all. The Gerbera Tetra was built from the frame of the Gundam GP04, which was cancelled during construction. The Gerbera Tetra was always intended to be built from what was originally meant to be the GP04. Gerbera is the name of a type of Daisy flower, and Tetra is from the Greek language for "four".
The rest of the Gundams GP01 through GP03 also have official flower nicknames which strengthen the connection to the Gerbera Tetra, but these were rarely touched upon. The GP01 is known as the Zephyranthes, the GP02 is the Physalis, and the GP03 is the Dendrobium and Dendrobium Stamen.
The Gerbera Tetra wasn't stolen. AE still had the frame and parts lying around after the GP04 was cancelled. I believe most of the parts were used to rebuild the GP01 into the full vernian version. The frame was completed as the Gerbera Tetra with new armor and parts, and given to Cima by the scheming director of AE (who later shot himself in the head when it turned out that Jamitov was playing the Zeon remnants all along).
>>13993850
watch stardust memory?
Finished painting the stock revive.
>>13994016
You gonna buy the Kudelia fig when it comes out, right?
>>13994031
no, I'm officially way passed the "kudelia might be interesting phase" and in the "FUCK YOUR SHOW" phase.
>>13994031
but you probably know who's figure I lack to complete pic related >>13994016
>>13992085
>>13990308
You guys can arrange them along a wall to improve insulation
>>13994016
what did you paint on it exactly? looks like you just put topcoat on it. maybe i can't tell from the picture?
>>13994153
The red linings I lost those seals, which is why. But yeah it's mostly the coat, and the blues
>>13994016
Good job Fllay.
>>13994156
Where did you buy a respirator in the philippines? All I see in hardware stores only sell the round filters for particulates.
>>13994195
No, no. I don't have a huge enough room at my condo, I spraypainted some parts and handpainted others, all done on some space on the ground floor.
A good kit even if no mace.
What is different in the no-scale Muv Luv "1.5 Ver" kits from the original ones?
>>13994812
>articulation
>weapons
>>13994859
Thanks.
>>13994606
>Barbatos Cool Mint
Kidding aside I like it.
>>13994606
Getting some Sinanju Stein vibes from this.
The bright green are a bit off-putting though.
Aight guys heres the dealio. I ordered an HG Guntank Early Type and I want to know, in the context of the OYW, were there instances of Zeon commandeering ESFS mobile suits? I'm asking because I hate the ESFS decals and have a bunch of extra Zeon ones from various Zakus etc.
>>13994924
Also, gunpra is freedom.
>>13994941
Also, there's a GM in a bowtie.
>>13994941
>>13994952
alright thanks
>muh plastic freedom
>>13994924
In Origin Zeon had guntanks of their own. They used them for testing the Zaku against.
>>13994960
oh well even better, awesome.
What you guys working on?
Been working my way out a slump.
Got the pod kit recently. Kind of fun.
>>13994924
use of captured MS was a frequent practice on both sides
>>13990859
Be sure to dump pics when done, I really want to see how it looks.
>>13994924
Fuck off autist.
Changed my mind for gold marker due to silver maker being shit.
And the shoulder green part still a mess, aside that I guess I'm happy with it.
I really recommend this kit.
>>13995187
A part from the green being a mess, that color scheme looks really cool anon. Inspired me to work on my barbatos when I'm not sleep deprived.
>>13994606
Cool color scheme.
>Safety nubs on the V
How do you miss that?
>>13995252
Are you talking about these ?
If so, these aren't safety nubs
>>13995106
>I don't care about the lore
Go shit up some other board, fucker.

>not having autism
Pick 1 and get out.
>>13995276
Oh shit. They aren't?
Shit I cutted them right off of my Barby.
>>13994606
I'm glad to see you went with the blue I chose
>>13990534
should have gotten the GM Cartigan. Thrown in the extra pieces and painted them in a primer to make it harder
>>13995297
They are though
>>13995294
That's like WWII modelers who don't try to make their models accurate to history. Disgusting.
>>13995276
Yes, actually those are.
>>13995276
>He actually painted nubs
PFFFFHAHAHAHAHA
What a shit builder you are.
>>13995276
They are actually. They exist so kids don't poke themselves and to strengthen the area so it doesn't snap off during transport. They are found on most pointy and thin parts and there is an official video from bandai on how to remove them and sharpen the v fin.
>>13992085
I have not been here in a while but I just wanted to share.
I switched to biscuit tins and cardboard boxes to store accessories and the box art respectively.
I only keep kits that I am still working on in their boxes until I feel I should revisit it.
I only started this hobby last April and I am doing a better job than most beginners.Snapfag will never improve so it is better to ignore him. I work and go to school and still find time to try and build a kit to completion. Why the fuck does he still get away with putting no effort?Because he does not care about the hobby. He only cares about ruining the hobby for others.
>>13995340
>>13995329
>>13995324
>>13995308
Ah I fucking knew it.
What the fuck, mint fresh barbatos man?
>>13995340
Didn't expect this when I read the manual. Guess I'll cut them. Not that much a problem.
>>13995356
Dont cut them. Try an old model technique of puting it in an Ice tray and freezing the piece then cutting the ice and the nub together.
That way you will reduce your chance of snapping the piece
>>13995276
It's chill though, I made the same mistake as well.
>>13995418What does this actually do?
>>13995356
Filing them down is much easier.

Meyrin?
>>13995418
OH SHIT YOU WERE RIGHT I BROKE THEM
>>13995356
File them away. It takes like 10 seconds of filing.
>>13995304
To be honest it was very tempting, but I hate the doc-ock spider backpack design holding two shields and two shoulder cannons.
The old HGUC Zaku II's cables suck at actually staying in place.
Please tell me the cable engineering improved with later kits, because these things are terrible to work with.
Anybody willing to do me a huge favor? If you got a completed RG RX-78 kit handy, mind taking some detailed pictures of the inner sides of the thighs please? I think I might've fucked up, but don't really know, and would like to know what it's supposed to look like before making some special purpose sanding sticks for the job
>>13995565
If nobody fulfills your request by the time I'm home (maybe an hour or two), I'll help you out
>>13995522
The MG 2.0 has em on springs which works very well.
>>13995565
Dalong?
>>13995579
Thanks man. I'd love to have a few other examples, but that'd be a great help.
>>13994941
The Zaku color palette really looks nice on a GM. I really wish I had the patience to sand down the Federation cross of of a cheap-o GM kit and make it a Zeon Capture type.
>>13995636
What?
>Having a fun time assembling an MG after doing so many HG's to try and get out of the beginner stage.
>Finish the frame and try to pose it.
>Those fucking small things connecting the legs to the waist.
Goddamit this shit is triggering me.
/gunpla/ can I ask for some kit advice?
Can anyone recommend a good OYW-era GM 1/144 kit with good articulation, or at least what's the most modern one?
>>13995649
You mean omit and putty the hole?
>>13995696
Wait, the crosses aren't molded in? I've never actually built a single GM.
>>13995649
>>13995696
Just get a kit that has a cross-less shield.
>>13995703
>>13995488
Looks way better now.
>>13995718
>being a godless zeek
>>13995722
wat
>>13995736
stop posting spacenigger
>>13995690
Thunderbolt is alright for that.
>>13995482
So if I get the 6th form Barbatos can I make the Barbatos as it was in the latest episode? Without the fuckhueg chest? Or do I need to get the first Barbatos as well?
>>13995737
And why would I? Stop being a faggot like Snapfit.
>>13995701
Command (the one in that picture) has the EFF symbol on the shield molded in
It's a different shield though, which is weird
>>13995759
Looks like it comes with parts for both 5th and 6th, so you can do the re-entry form or the huge white chest, and it just fits overtop.
anyone got their lists?
What's the dankest meme kit available? Something I can build while smoking a fat blunt.
>>13995801
Pepe Gundam
>>13995793
I guess this is part of why they made it walk on barbie feet.
Which one of those seems more fitting to use for lenses/mono-eyes?
>>13995807
I want to mod it so it has this stupid grin & eyes. What's the best way to go about it? I'm thinking about walkin down to the Games Worshop and sculpting it out of Greenstuff
>>13995814
A pepe rarely makes me kek
... i kekd
>>13995810
The right ones. Easily. Why would you even consider the pearl ones?
>>13995810
The rhinestones sanded to make them rounder
>>13995445
gives the piece more support when you cut it with the hobby knife.
I saw it in a model building magazine. The tip was on how a guy could cut off the top of his car without snapping the frame that holds up the hood.
>>13995810
Pearl is a closer shape to the original pieces and how sensors look in the show, but it's not going to be as reflective, and by the time you paint it you might as well have painted the kit pieces.
jesus i didnt expect the box to be so big i mean yeah i knew double armor but fuck
>>13995907
help if i include pic
It should be obvious. Not a single good figure of him at that size
