***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, dont 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.

First for ZENBU
>>14054637
damn i have a shit ton of those gattling gunds from the giveaway campaign, that's a really good idea on what to do with them
>>14054637
What are those pistols the gatling guns are attached to?
>>14054648
>stick a bunch of them together somewhat haphazardly
what else would someone do with those
>>14054637
>OP image
more gatling for more battling
I am really really liking the grimgerde, too bad my camera on my phone makes it looks more pink than red, since irl it's actually red.
>>14054727
but at least it comes with a neat effect to give me and idea of what other colors would look like on it for when i decide to paint it
>>14054738
You can do that in pretty much any photo/paint editor you know. It's a very simple thing to do. Just so you know
>>14054738
>>14054727
Man, that player underneath AFFC kind of looks like my old VCR player.

Buy a duster
>>14054810
As someone with insane amounts of dust that builds up rather quickly, I can tell you that having dust is due to not having a duster, it's because unless you have crippling autism you never really notice it.
![20160328_182853[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/yMYbgN3.jpg "20160328_182853[1].jpg")
So I am working on a thing how bad am I doing...
I have like 12 heat hawks now thanks to my zaku fetish I wanted to build a double headed poleaxe heat hawk...
I'm currently considering taking a needle a lighter and maybe melting some runner plastic to connect it. Is this a good or bad idea?
>>14054818
>crippling autism you never really notice it.
Nah I just have eyes, open windows and turn on lights anon. I dust a few times a month, it takes literally five minutes and it's part of keeping my house clean because I haven't lived with my parents in years. When you move you you'll learn too
It ain't much, but I've started work on a Dom Tropen (shame the brown one wasn't in stock)
Look at the size of that fucking bazooka
So how BAD does the sinanju ova look without painting the golden marks
Cause i totally didnt think this through before buying it
I hear the foil stickers suck shit
>Zaku II P-Bandai looks rad as fuck
>some P-Bandai comes with exclusive shit such as Amazing Exia with the shield
>lol 100 dollars
Why is such jewery allowed?
>>14055029
>Not modding your own
Gunpla's pretty casual as far as modeling goes. You niggers are pretty sad if you can't mod shit like that into kits, and instead whine about not being able to fork over $100 on an exclusive kit. Back in the day, you'd be lucky if kits had any amount of detail, and even then, most pro level modelers just end up sanding a lot of shit down and making their own details themselves, down to the rivets and such. There's nothing on there you can't make yourself if you try hard enough.
Minus the box art, I guess. If you're really into boxes, then that's another story
>>14055047
I donno I think 100 is more then worth it no?
>>14055061
If you shop around, you can get some vacuum forming gear for that much.
>>14054826
Just get some plastic glue/cement.
Bam
>>14055061
Coming from the guy bitching, no.
The base model itself (Zaku 2.0 MG) is worth ~$30. Fancy decals to me, while look bitching as fuck, are not worth that extra 70 dollars. I would rather hand paint it.
>>14054826
I'd cut a small piece of plastic to fit the wedge area, plastic cement it in place, fill gaps with a touch of putty, and then apply knifework and sandpaper to bring it to shape.
>>14054826
Use putty and cement, not a lighter. But yea, a runner would be good
>>14055047
Mind posting some of your own work?
>>14054826
epoxy putty is what you want
Doing some paint tests today and I noticed there's some minor orange peel effect happening to my spoons. Any idea on the cause of this? It happens when using both Rustoleum Chrome Gold and Krylon Short-Cuts Gold.
It did rain yesterday, so could it be because the humidity? I didn't think that would be the cause because it's a little over 60 degrees out.
I've been trying pretty hard to find this to no avail. Would anyone happen to know how I could go about getting ahold of this? Price is of no concern.
>>14054785
As simple as sliding a bar with my finger on my phone right after i take a picture? i might have to check that out then.
>>14054797
I know, it's actually a satellite tv box but that doesn't make it any less trash. I actually decided to cancel the tv service so I can just use netflix and the internet for whatever i feel like watching now.
>>14054800
I know but, I'm reading through them all getting hype for the new season (and book whenever that will be) so I had to muddle through that one. Storm of Swords is my favorite.
>>14054810
yeah I know, though it's weird that I'm super OCD about dust on my gunpla but anything else I kind of don't give a fuck.
>>14055083
>>14055093
>>14055099
>>14055113
Thanks everyone I've been laughed at alot posting here because of my inexperience I'm happy to know I haven't fucked up the Weapons
Is the puddy something I can get at a tool store or crafts store or should I buy on amazon?
>>14054829
Or you can not be an OCD autismo, I live alone and have various dusty things in my house and it doesn't really bother me. I guess your parents instilled some good cleaning traits on you, that's good to hear.
>>14055028

lol, you fell for the gaijin-gunpla shill meme
Finally finished my first gunpla!
Any tips on avoiding plastic stress when you're removing nubs?
>>14055136
>What is hue
>>14055159
>>14055164
I can't wait until my squad of 3 come in
>mfw the spray in my testor's white enamel primer ran out with some of my pieces primed one side and somwhat un-primed on another.
Jesus christ I should've planned better.
>>14055028
Pretty fucking bad. I haven't bought any Sleeves units, but I plan on taking a Geara Zulu or a Kshatriya to sand off the Sleeves patterns and paint those pieces in dark green.
>>14055174
>using testors primer
Yes you should have, that stuff is shit
>>14055164
>safety nubs on the rx-78 in the box
Why do they do this
>>14055148
Try a hobby store first. Look for Tamiya putty
>>14055028
The stickers don't adhere or fit well and will make it look bad. The gold waterslides are so laughably useless I wouldn't even bother.
Just buy a gold sharpie and if you're really lazy a black fine point pen to fill in the outside edges to make the lines clean.
Better to clean up the lines properly but your call, just giving you the easiest solution since you're even considering the stickers
>>14055201
Aside from helping keep thr recommended age down by eliminating sharp pieces, it also protects thin pieces from snapping off in the packaging during transport.
>>14055214
He meant on the box art
>>14055214
It's the box art
>>14055214
Who cares about safety when it's supposed to advertise the actual toy while on the shelf?
So does the Full Armor Gundam have canon safety nubs?
>>14055249
Yeah. It's not the only one
>>14055253
>has safety nubs behind its safety nubs
>>14055209
would a gold gundam marker work also?
I literally dont know how to paint anything, i guess this would be a good time to learn but i dont even know where to get them paints, or an airbrush, or the topcoat (i'm foreign) plus i dont have MONEY for that right now.
Gold gundam marker is fine, it's pretty much the same as a gold sharpie.
I didn't even mention painting or airbrushing, you don't have to be so defensive about it
>>14055209
>>14055298
>>14055304
Whatever option you choose, Sinanjuanon, make sure you top coat those pattern pieces afterwards.
>>14055304
uh yeah i was talking about painting cause everyone seems to do reverse washes for those kind of details.
When i DO get the tools to properly paint my kits, will i be able to get rid of the gundam marker paint to then do it properly?
>>14055341
Yeah, no paint is permanent. If you plan on removing it, don't topcoat it right away or you'll just create more work for yourself.
>>14055334
>>14055355
Thanks for the help guys, i wanna learn more, where would i go to learn about topcoating? i was using laymans gunpla website.
I suppose i shoud just wait until i have paint and the topcoat material to paint in the decals, right? I could use the waterslides then take them off afterwards, mmm?
>>14055381
You could do all that
or you could just build it, wait to have all the materials then finish it so you're not creating a ton of extra work for yourself.
Read the guide in the op, that guide is fine too, Falldog is a really good builder

>>14055423
Explain the reason for your tripfagging.
Tripfags, like yourself, are rotten oncogenes upon a general.
>>14055130
Do you have a base coat for this? Gloss black?
If not, yes might be due to humidity
>>14055458

Looks pretty par for the course.
Do we have a exact release date for the HG Full Armor Gundam?
>>14055397
Holy shit thank you
>>14055912
You know you can just buy the normal version of it right?
Anime version is barely different
>>14055917
np enjoy
What should I build first? I seem to keep buying things at a quicker rate than I can construct 'em.
>>14055940
grats you raided a hobbytown USA

>>14055942
Only, like, four of the kits there came from HobbyTown USA.
But it's not a bad store. At least the one I go to. There's two within a reasonable distance of my house. One's got a (comparatively) great selection and the other's pretty so-so.
>>14055943
Yellow instills fear.
Just started building my first MG. I can now see why people like to do partial assembly BEFORE they paint. Thees nubs are ruining my life.
>>14055942
>>14055952
>Only, like, four of the kits there came from HobbyTown USA.
what is HAPPENING in this thread right now holy shit
>>14055957
Don't ever paint on the runners son
>>14055958
ive seen all but the Graze at my local hobby town, but i havent been there in a while so they probobly have those too.
>>14055958
I was wrong.
Three of them came from there.Some of these were gifts from my brother. He just raided Barnes and Noble as a weird surprise treat when he broke some news to me.
>>14055957
Why did you paint the parts while on the runners? That's just gonna cause more work for you, and a set of like 15 alligator clip sticks is $5 on ebay.
>>14055952
No, Sinestro. Yellow instills cravings for bananas.
>>14055975
>>14055964
Because i figured it would be easyer to spray everything down on the runners. Witch it was, but thees nubs............
>>14055957
Why didn't you read the guide
>>14055957
Why would you try 1st time pointing on an MG?
Also you didn't think there would spots after you cut the pieces off the runners?
>>14055971
Bluefin supplies both, you can tell because they always have lots of build fighters, RGs, main suit HGs, and IBO, zeta suits, and weapon packs. They have some weird suits sometimes, but the super cool ultrapros such as myself swoop in a scoop up all the gaplant hrairoos and and doven wolfs leaving only boxes of zaku amazing and titanium finish MGs for the plebs
>>14054637
i noticed snapfag did th eother thread, so i will post here.
who thinks it's funny to do 7-11 theme mecha that aren't the LTD 711 box-mechs...?

Cut a little bit away from the nubs with the nippers, then cleave most of the remainder away with an xacto knife, and sand the rest until it's flush.

What's a good gunpla for guns? Not really looking for swords or whatnot, just guns. As if a gundam had raided a /k/ommando's house. missiles are acceptable, as well.
Anyone start build starting at the legs, move on to the torso, then body, then arms, then weapons, and finally head?
>>14056368
I finish off the head before moving onto weapons, but yeah I pretty much just start from ground level and build my way up.
>>14056360
GM Sniper K9 has a bunch of guns, it also has the normal Sniper 2 backpack if you don't like the custom one
>>14056360
gm sniper k9 is a good kit with guns, has 2 sniper rifles, a machine gun, 2 pistols, and a cool knife as a bonus
>>14055940
Star Build Strike because it was muh first gunpla.
>>14056368
most of the time, i dont really care what order its in. unless it has a stand, i do whatever its connected to first then build outwards from there
>>14056368
I start weapons because they suck at the end
Anyone getting/already have the Hi-Resolution Barbasol? Does it have shitty diecast joints too?
>>14055940
Well, I would say get the shittiest one out of the way first so that would go to the ZII.
>>14056383
>and a cool knife as a bonusNice Knife!
>>14056303
>>14056510
>>14056526

>>14056360
Psycho Zaku, Full Armor Unicorn
how does one go about weathering like this? just get this weird weathering make up and just pat the sides?
>>14056806
I think that the standard method is grey base coat, repaint with white, then sand off along the seams to expose the grey.
>>14056806
your answer is right there in the image, they used Tamiya Weathering sets and smudged them on with a q-tip.
>super fumina at hobbytown for less than anywhere online
I don't really want it right now, and no job, but what if I want it later?

>>14056933
>What am I missing?
Taste
>>14056933
Sense.
>>14056933
Almost every other HGBF is better in my opinion. You could get a Jim Sniper K9 or a Transient for the same price.
>>14056933
If the kit's decals are anything like the wrap-around decals on the SxDxG Gundam that I built not too long ago, the decals for Fumina's sexy yoga shorts will be pretty fucking awful unless you have good painting skills.
It's a shame that this kit was a dud. I'd like to see more Gundam Girls (like the Frame Arms Girls models), but it's probably not going to happen again.
>>14056985
I just saw a gunpla girl for less than online, too bad about the face though
>>14056992
>I'd like to see more Gundam Girls (like the Frame Arms Girls models)
That's why I wanted this kit
>>14057051
I wouldn't let /m/ discourage you from it, especially if you can get a good deal on it. It's a novelty for sure.
You could always try your hand at painting it one day, like I said.
>>14055857
Good one virmire you fuckin idiot

>>14057064
I was going to paint it like a maid anyways, so the extra paint on the legs won't be that much extra work
Curious, how would you go about strapping the Hi-nu's "backpack" onto a Zeta Plus?
>>14057088
Building a new back for the Z+ or a special adapter.
The Z+ uses a unique back piece with no standard connections. It has 2 square peg slots for the wings to attach to and a 3rd central one for the main wing.
Meanwhile the Hi-Nu uses 3 pegs which the Wings slot into from above.
So you're either bashing part of the Hi-Nu onto the Z+ or you're making a new connection entirely.
>>14057117
>The Z+ uses a unique back piece with no standard connections. It has 2 square peg slots for the wings to attach to and a 3rd central one for the main wing.
>
>Meanwhile the Hi-Nu uses 3 pegs which the Wings slot into from above.
Thanks, this is exactly the info I was looking for.
I'm wondering if I could mount the Wings onto their connector and then maybe shave and cement that adapter onto the Zeta Plus. I might have to stuff any excess space.
I'll keep looking for pictures (I don't have either kit), but thanks a lot.
>>14057120
Just go to Dalong or 1999.co.jp and look at the manuals.

>>14057170
spoons are enough
how many people here don't like any of the Unicorn designs? Almost none of the kits or designs introduced in Unicorn itself appeal to me. They just don't look good.
>>14057175
This. Spoons are fine. Im actually considering learning how to panel scribe on spoons first. and using those as tests for panels.
>>14057200
Unicorn mode is fine for me, Destroy mode on the otherhand, is absolutely trash.
>>14057200
I like the Zeonic MS that got kits, the Stark Jegan and the Kshatriya.
Can't stand the five dozen Unicorn variants and Geara Zulu.
>>14057200
I'm not a fan of most, but the Jesta and her variants, the Delta Plus, and the ReZEL in particular, just do something for me.
I'm somewhat partial to the Sinanju and I think it's the best UC "Char" suits.
I can't really ever decide if I like the Banshee or not.
I feel like I'd like it if it had the Unicorn's color scheme and Horn with navy highlights.
The Unicorn modes are just really gross.
Started test-fitting this, I need a few more giant gattlings
>>14057175
plastic knives are good for practice on flat stuff
So it looks like the Graze Ein only comes with one pair of hands. Where would you even get holding hands for that? Buy a 1/100 Graze? What a load of shit.

Or just use the Jigen Build ones.

So I have the MG 3.0 RX-78, is it worth getting the MG Origin?
>>14057492
Of course it is
Man the origin version is supreme
>>14057497
How so?
>>14057508
Its the most crazy articulated MG ever
And it doesnt fall apart
>>14057200
I'm fine with a lot of them, but I don't really like the re-zel's boner or the Zee Zulu's boot flippers. They just look weird and out of place.

>>14057547
Ask amiami.
>>14057508
For me, it's the right amount of chunky
>>14057547
get action base 2 if you need a base for that size kit
action base 3 is fun if you want 2 suits for your desk too
>>14057577
On the description of the Action Base 1 it states it can hold both 1/144 and 1/100 scale models, but would it still be better to get the action base 2 then? I also intend to get a MG kit soon so I would prefer if I can use it for that too.
>>14057619
AB1 can fit HGs but it's quite large for them; you almost never see HG's on them for that reason. If you're going to get an MG for it soon anway it might not be a big deal because the Zaku can stand on its own pretty well. I also suggest the clear action base, they are nice and help with the size issue.
>>14057619
>>14057633
here's some random pic, you can see the HG is quite small on the AB1 and it would be way more noticeable in black.
>>14057636
ok they are RGs before someone spergs out on me, I just mean 1/144
>>14057636
>>14057633
Oh I didn't realize they where that large, I think i'll just get an AB2 then and buy an AB1 once I actually get to buying a MG.
Working on a 1/100 mobile worker truck. It looks like shit at the moment because I just added the putty (I am not a very neat scratchbuilder and my adjustments with a knife left some gaps that needed filling) and the entire thing needs a good sanding down before I add the truck bed and start the bottom half. I think its a good start though.
>>14057911
Thanks doc.
HGUC Nightingale when?
>>14057985

Which kit could act as a great base for a donut steal custom?
>>14058150
Any
I prefer the AGE grunts, like the Shaldoll Rogue
>>14057985
you have the 1/100 you stupid fuck
Are there any comparison images showcasing the difference between using black and gray panel lining on white pieces?
>>14057633
>>14057636
This. There's only a few HGs that are big enough to NEED a AB1. Kshatriya for example. Don't try that mofo on an AB2 from my understanding. Too heavy.
>>14057619
As someone who thought that exact same thing before getting one, HGs just look kind of silly on AB1. I don't regret the purchase though because now I have one for my MG.
>>14058194
>Someone asks specifically for a HG, likely due to scale
>Just get the 1/100
Do you recommend people to buy different tires for each wheel too?
What's the best grit for roughing down nub marks, 320 or 400?

If you want to get rid of the last remnants of the nub, use something around 600-800 grit and finish it off with 1000+ grit.
If you want to get rid of the stress marks/discoloration, you're usually shit out of luck. Painting over them would help, a flat topcoat hides them a little as well.
So how do I build this?

Uh shit, forgot pic
>>14058680
open boxes
cut all the pieces off the runners
throw them at the wall while spraying pic related
thats how the best customs are built
>>14058692
I tried that once already.
Hey /m/, never done gunpla before but I want to start. Is this a good one to start with? Also, what's the best option to buy from, amiami or Amazon?
>>14058517
I recently finished my first gunpla (pic related) and I did have a few white nub marks around the legs and on the gun. Would painting/top coating be the only real way to get rid of them or would using high grit (1500-2000) sand paper work a bit too?
>>14058779
I read the guide. It isn't exactly specific about the pros and cons of either seller. How does amiami's shipping usually work? Can I trust the listed prices or are there other fees I have to watch out for? Things like that.

Amiami takes a bit longer than Amazon, provided you have Prime, because they're shipping from Japan. I've had kits come to me the next day via Amazon Prime. Usually Amiami is good for preorders and stuff, because they usually have good discounts on preorders, while Amazon can be good for stuff that's already out, but it's better if you've got Prime.
Also, Amiami will have older kits restocked every once in a while, at really good prices, so it's good to check it every so often.

No longer shall I have Gunpla as nubby as my MG Gouf Custom.

dat pose
>>14058827
If you keep that pose and give him some battle scarring you could say the pilot got a concussion or something.
I'm doing an assignment for school where I'm supposed to create a webpage using Google Sites.
Would anyone be interested in a Gunpla Guide website?
>>14058869
>There's other Germans here
>And they build Zeonic MS
This makes me happy.

Has Gourai become the Zaku of the Frame Arts line?
>>14059002
Looks like a poof.
>>14058839
I'm looking into getting started as well
Hobbywave is the best prices I've seen so far
>>14058839
Before you go and make a giant purchase and import, I would recommend checking Gundamplanet first. He may be a little bit more expensive on most everything, but it's a domestic seller so you don't have to pay out the ass for shipping or wait an eternity for your gunpla.
>>14059002
If you kept that pose but flipped the gun arm so it looked like he was resting on clasped hand like a pillow I'd kek even harder
>>14058827
trim the white marks down flush then rub them with the tip of your fingernail. they are stress marks in the plastic and can be squeezed back together.
>>14059002
>that right leg
And I thought I was bad at posing.
>>14059124
Has he not been banned yet ?
Or is he using a proxy
>>14059129
Maybe it's dancing.
>>14058827
Your pilot may have downs
>>14059002
>Safety nubs
mate are you retarded?
>>14059130
Mobile phone most likely. Airplane mode on/off resets your IP. Short of range banning him nothing can be done.
>>14059150
Not him, but Safety Nubs give me this sense of motion when I look at it.
I dunno.
>>14058500
perhaps you should buy a fucking bike then instead of car
>>14059150
nah
>>14059206
Oh yeah nothing makes a model feel more alive than being poorly built
This dude has no posability and I still can't get bazookas to hold right out of three suits.
It's kinda nice there's not many fiddly parts but it's very hollow and not solid at all, need to get some putty to fix up dem shoulders and other parts before joining and painting.

Doms are about sexiness, though i dont know much about the HGs the MGs move pretty good considering its fat legs and its technically older then dirt
>>14059319
thanks doc
>>14059331
The HGUC Dom/Rick Dom is pretty great, since it's essentially a simplified and scaled-down version of the MG.
The Rick Dom II is passable, the Dom Tropen is brick incarnate.
>>14057253
I like it
Got the rest of the RGB psychoframe done in my PG unicorn, shits bright.
Still just running test scripts through it right now, I can learn arduino code once its built.
>>14059393
What kind of metal files should I be looking into? I already have one of the flat slanted file and that diamond shape file from Excel. Are there any more fine metal files besides the ones that look like emery board grains?
Thanks.

look into jewelry diamond files on ebay you might find something

you lied to me /m/ you said he was a joke, but now he's BACK. HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN
>>14059284
It's fine to leave them on if that's what you want, but removing them really is easy
Just use your nippers to cut off about 75% then lay the fin on your finger with the nub facing up, and use sandpaper/nail file to slowly remove the rest
Key word being slowly, because removing material is easier then adding it back on cause you sanded at a bad angle
Afterwords just rub the plastic with our fingernail to smooth it back out
>>14058701
It's.... Beautiful... No words.... Should have... Sent a poet...
I'm late to the party but what the hell is this garbage...
>>14059507
... especially since they're releasing it so close to this sexy beast?

>>14059513
you got your images backwards
>>14059525
Red Fox looks like crap with everything stacked on at once but it is made with the ability to easily unclutter it. The head is incredibly sexy, too.
Dra-C Custom takes a perfect mobile suit and adds bulky, ugly thrusters and shit on the shoulders and removes the sweet arm cannon it had.
Also what's the difference in Gerbera Roll Out? Just the head?
>>14059446
Who?
>>14059552
Dr. Soda. I'm almost positive that's actually him posting that video, too.
>>14059557
He's on instagram too, and based on some recent things, I'm pretty sure it's him.

this is like a low placing southeast asian gunpla contest custom with a color scheme that is like a first time post in the lineart threads
>>14059574
I know, and if it wasn't based off of a BFT kit then I'd be saying the same thing. But that's exactly what it is and that makes it fun.
Objectively it's trash but I like it.
How's this look? I'm trying to reference a specific character.

>>14059557
Guess I'm 2new for that name drop. I only started coming to gunpla threads since about January.
Who was that retard who twisted parts off the runners?
>>14059661
...Don't look at me.
>>14059661
I got a tie advanced years ago that was like gunpla but I don't think it was bandai. I used regular scissors and cut them as close to the part as I could.
>>14059661
>>14059642
The glory of Dr. Soda
>>14059661
When I first started I just grabbed the pieces and yanked them off as hard as possible off the runner.
>>14059680
Who then was that art student that sprayed the shit out of the runners?
