***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.

Man, the janitors here are doing a terrible job.
So what are you guys building?
*sigh*
You fucking gunpla freaks. Why are you guys spamming /m/ with Gunpla threads. Go visit /toy/ if you want to talk about oh gee I dunno... TOYS? I hope mods lock this up too

Well, feels aside, how many of you guys have made a gunpla kit from the 80's. Any mobile armor kits from the original show?
What's a good tacticool Gundam or GM kit that's not the Jesta or Jegan? I want to give it pistols and be an infiltrator type mobile suit.

>>14275927
No, if I do that I make snapshit look credible.
What is the point of being a nuisance to an online community? Why not spend that time bettering yourself?
Go run a 5K instead of sitting here for 30 minutes choosing a file, waiting for the timer, and then posting and then repeating that process for years.
>>14275946
Because they can get away with it. We've gone out of our way to get these fuckers banned, and they just won't get the message.
>>14275930
>implying he isn't credible in the sense that he shows how not to build kits
>>14275879
>made a gunpla kit from the 80's
I built a Dowadge maybe a decade back, if you mean the ones where there's no polycaps and articulation is shit and you have to glue the thing together. In many ways, I would feel unless you don't want to keep it at resin-kit tier and just never pose the thing (always in a static standing standby pose), it's fine enough after painting.
It sucked ass overall (especially the joints), but it was at least nice to cannibalize the beam cannon for an HG Rick Dom II and it's an old-ass kit so no complaining.
For the remaining Dowadge, I just stuffed a heat rod into its hand holes and it became a close-combat only MS at that point.
>>14275948
If snapfit is just trolling to get a rise out of people, his payment are the reactions.
I troll my friends all the time. I get my fill of social interaction and hilarious reactions. Yet I don't shit post.
>>14275950
Speaking of...
Bought this on Ebay prepainted but unbuilt. I'll strip the paint off and see if I can make anything of it, but at the moment it's completely unable to stand without tape. Still, there's potential.
There's literally no reason you faggots can't use the other thread.

>>14275989
Poor colour choice, thick and poor application of paints likely not made for models probably using a spray can followed by bad hand-painting on an unprimed model.
The short answer is "everything".

that guy explained it wrong. we try not to give snapshit any attention in the threads but whenever he makes his own thread, which has become a habit now, we make a different one as a little reminder to him that we all fucking hate him and hope he gets run over by a bus.
If two separate gunpla threads existing at the same time for a short while before the other one quickly dies bothers you so much as to go into full on assblasted mode like you are now, i suggest taking a break from this website.

Take your own advice spergs mcgee.
>>14276129
I doubt it, but I'd hope they'd actually reprint some of those old EX models someday, mainly the battleships/fighters
>>14276203
lots of people filter snapshit so some people might not be able to see the thread
>>14276240
He tried to be OP of a general? Just lol. I'm one of those who missed it.
I need your help guys. What other models use the same type of connection between the forearm and the shoulder as this one? I want to use these forearms so bad, but the shoulders are ugly in my opinion.
>>14275989
>>14275999
Someone made a "good" version of Red Cliff (barring the color choice), IIRC.
>>14276229
Once in a while the EX kits get a reprint, I wanna say a couple got a reprint a few months ago, but they weren't the ships or Hildolfr.
Here's my first attempt. Having a little trouble removing nub marks completely. Should I pick up a few sanding sponges or do I need to git gud with my hobby knife?
>>14276319
Sanding is the best way for nub removal. Cutting is just the faster method.
>>14276319
Nub marks look fine. I can barely even see where they were! Sanding, like >>14276329 said is nicer, but knifing is faster. personally I prefer using the knife, and just sanding if it gets too extreme, all before top-coating that is!
Alright, slowly getting there, one bit at a time. God, I hate how the stickers look on the blue pieces. Half tempted to just remove them and call it a day, but they don't look half bad on the white parts. Red I have mixed feelings of though. Almost done with the RX-78, then it's time for the Zaku II! What do you guys think? Anything I should do before continuing?
>>14276365
Lookin' good so far. But why do you have ammunition on your model/craft table?
>>14276385
Why don't you?
>>14276385
You don't add realistic battle damage to your kits?
>>14276022
Most custom gunpla look like that bro.
>>14276396
You're supposed to do that with .22 or .177, not with necked rifle cartridges.
>>14276396
This.
The 12.7 is especially useful.

They're empty .50 cal rounds I got from a Gun show years ago, when I made a Halo REach cosplay. I would have gone 14.5x114mm and made it authentic, but good luck finding rounds like that empty and for display. They were for the Sniper Shoulder I had on the right.
I am curious what a model would look like after being smashed to bits by a .50 Caliber round.
I haven't been here long, will someone tell me the story of Snapfit and why /m/ collectively hates him?

A lot of people (myself included) generally use the knife to get most of the nub, and then sand down whatever is left.
Is it weird that I want to be into gunpla without having watched any gundam series but a few 00 and 87 episodes
The kits just turn me on they are so good
I love the mecha kits of all kinds but gundam/medarot is just so cool
>>14276229
All Gundam Bandai kits get reprints. Eventually.
>>14276428
I was thinking more like
>>14276365
I use a combination of knife and then 1000 grit sanding to remove all trace of the nub mark. Sometimes it's still visible on the base plastic, but once painted over, there's nothing there.
>>14276483
He started by spamming the same poorly constructed g-reco models over and over every thread. He also refused to improve in any way, and has even gone so far as to tell others to ignore advice. His recent "contributions" haven't been any better, and aren't very pleasing to look at (nubs, obvious seam lines, . no panel lining, etc). He also avatarfags consistently, and a lot of the stuff he posts is obvious bait.
There's also a conspiracy that he's the guy who used to/still does spam images in the /m/ gunpla threads.
>>14276499
Nothing wrong with that. Some people like the designs from a series while thinking that the same series is utter shit to watch. IBO tends to get this a lot.

A guy who tries to keep the general threads alive in which a bunch of autistic dipshits have make an extra thread just to spite him and continue their circle jerk.
People also assume that the actual shitposter spammer is him, despite the fact that he actually contributes to threads.
What astonishes me most is the spam people complaining about him, are the mongoloid retard aspies who keep uploading sideways pictures of their kits. Something that takes seconds in mspaint to fix.

>>14276880
>A guy who tries to keep the general threads alive
is this nigga serious?
The threads were more "alive" and had a lot more talented builders, or at least talented builders that shared their work before he came along, don't make it seem as though there was some decline in interest of gunpla on /m/ and then snapshit the savior came along to help stimulate positive discussion about gunpla. The gpg threads were really popular and gained a consistent place on this board due to a lot of new people getting into gunpla because of season 1 of build fighters. This was way before you and snapshit appeared on the scene.
>he actually contributes to threads
this nigga cannot be serious.
Posting a poorly constructed nubby OOB builds that no one wants to see over and over is not contributing, it's shitposting. Sometimes it's a different kit, but all in all it's the same shit. And if you don't like the "circle jerk" so badly, why don't you and him fuck off back to to the IRC you came from making fanart of you guys hugging in the rain.

>>14276106
Wow. Just wow.
So I heard the Quebley revive has articulated fingers.
>>14276880
>tries to keep the general threads alive... make an extra thread just to spite him
/m/ is a relatively slow board, so out of courtesy the new threads are usually made when the old one is on page 9 or 10. Making it earlier (which snapfit usually does) is unnecessary and frowned upon since the gunpla threads move so much faster than the rest of the board. It is kinda stupid to make a new thread, before snapfit, the valvrave fag would always make a new thread early, and we did the same thing.
>assume that the actual shitposter spammer is him, despite the fact that he actually contributes to threads
The post you responded to addresses both of these
> who keep uploading sideways pictures of their kits. Something that takes seconds in mspaint to fix.
The rotation data can be stored in the exif tags of a jpeg file, which 4chan strips to reduce file size. This means that it may appear to be the correct orientation before upload, but is sideways afterwards.
>>14276319
Get popsicle sticks, wet and dry use sand paper. Cut sandpaper into strips near size of stick and glue flat as any bumps or ridges in paper unevenly sand. This is a cheap customizable way for flat surfaces. I cut strips of sanding sponges for rounded surfaces only. If it's like the old HGUC zaku 2 I make the parts easy to separate smush together then sand so the edges don't become uneven.
Now depending on the thing I'm sanding I usually start at 400 grit, go to 600, 800 and 1000 then wipe with cloth. If it's heavy remodeling which is rare I'll go lower then 400 first. I personally avoid using sandpaper without a stick because it can make it hard to stay even or level. Remember it's easier to remove then it is to replace.
On a side note use decent lighting or you may sand slightly off. I have a swinging clamp on desk lamp that I can move out of the way if not using.
>>14277027
how about a Silver Bullet with a silver cased bullet?yeah its nickel same difference
Okay, so I've got a question for you guys. Was looking at some custom re/100 Nightingale builds, and I noticed that a lot of them have fuel tanks like pic related with tapered ends. My question is, how are people making those? Are they sourcing them from another kit I don't know about?
>>14277364
Usually it's built from pen casings for the fuel tanks
>>14275846
Here is your reply
>>14276485
They're terrible, the only sandpaper I have is all above 2000 grit. Gonna pick up some 400-800 grit sticks before I panel line. Also gonna invest in some sharp nippers instead of these shitty Hobby Lobby ones.
>>14276053
>>14276461
Here is your reply
>>14275822
I'm looking to experiment with some different sandpaper grits. I started with 400 and 1000, is there a 'universal' grits that everyone uses? Or do you choose grits depending on the situation?
>>14277763
The latter. Do you mean removing nubs? I use 600 after either using (lightly) a metal file or a hobby knife to get most of the nub.
I cut the piece off the runner as close to the piece as possible.
I use an Exacto knife to trim off any excess, then a 300 grit sanding stick to remove the mark.
Yet on the piece where the nub used to be, there is now a white dot.
How get rid of white dot?
>>14277797
prime, check if there is any mark left if so sand more prime again if no marks/bumps/indication then paint
mark gone :)
>>14277797
Don't cut as close as possible to the piece, cut a bit further. The white dot is a stress mark because plastic is composed of fibers. When you cut the runner you mostly compress it before the cut is actually made, and cutting close means the piece will be stressed as well.
Hey, what MG would look good alongside Punished Exia, Double X, Tallgeese and Nu? I'm leaning towards the Stein as I ultimately want to have an odd number of MGs for display etc., etc.
Anyways, shill me an MG that would look nice with those. Actually as it happens, I think Exia is already the most out of place.
>>14277827
Turn A or Turn X? You have a kit from different universes.
I'd say that or look for a red, black and white kit, since all but Exia have that scheme. Crossbones?
>>14276890
>Who do they expect is going to pay for this?
Probably 20 or 30 something Gunota salarymen with lots of disposable income in lieu of having a family to spend it on yet
>>14277827
Turn X
Why is the HG Local Type Gundam more than double the price of the Revive RX-78?
>>14277827
Crossbone Full Cloth might tie the group together a bit more, by virtue of also having a cape.
Stein is a pretty good choice though, gotta admit.
As a third option you could also widen the group diversity with a Hyaku Shiki 2.0
>>14276890
>Who do they expect is going to pay for this?

Hey, guys, what other MG's allow for the LED piece? I got the 2 pack because that's all my local store had in stock, but I only need 1 for the Nu Ver. Ka. What else uses one for the eyes, in green. (I know the newer MG RX-78's have the capability, but they have yellow eyes, and MUH AUTISM wants them to stay yellow, not be green).
>>14277917
Sazabi ver ka.
>>14277917
Exia has it for the GN Drive
>>14277917
Sazabi ver ka. Your Nu needs a buddy.
>>14277923
Is it for the Sazabi's eye? Or some other inner part of the kit? I thought green wouldn't work for the Sazabi, which is why I didn't consider it!
>>14277933
I have Ignition Mode Exia, and that requiresread: came with2 of them. I figured the 00 sets required 2 anyway, which is why they have you 2 in the green LED set. If the regular MG only needs 1, I might just get one for the fact of having a regular Exia and a repair Exia.
What about the MG 00, does it only need 2 for the GN drives, or does it need one in the torso for the eyes too?
Thanks for the Feedback, this will help me determine what master grade to get next!
>>14277942

>>14278002
Because Origin.
You raise your arm up and the visor slot is right by the face.
>>14278007
7S has a slot for it on the GN Buster Sword
00R has a slot in RaiserI actually can't figure out the fifth one for 00R so that might be a mistake on dalong's part.
>>14278028
Maybe the GN Sword III? I mean, it has that green blade thing going on, but it seems too small to be able to contain the LED bit?
What's the consensus of the Z'gok E HGUC? Is it really as shit as I've heard or is that an exaggeration?
>>14278007
>>14278028
>>14278037
00R has 1 in the torso, 1 in each GN Drive and 1 in each Raiser binder
>>14278044

>>14278037
>>14278044
Now I feel extra dumb, I thought it was just the main raiser part but it makes more sense for it to be in the binders.
>>14278044
Interesting. MG and PG 00 Raiser both look cool. Maybe one day, but for now I'm in a UC phase. I still love me some 00, I mean, it was what I watched with my gf first, and now she wants to cosplay Tieria, and it was the last Gundam I watched with my twin brother before he died, so I think the 00 would be a good kit to remember him by.
>>14278060
Honestly, the RG 00 looks the best and if you want a 7 Swords variant it's a rather simple mod using the HG's weapons.
>>14278060
Yo, that is a lot of memories from one show. I can respect wanting to save it for later.
Did he get to watch the movie?Can you still watch it, or is it hard to now?
>>14278064
Of course! That's on my list too, mostly because I want to get all 3 of Setsuna's suits in RG. I meant more as a center piece, hence why in leaning toward the PG, but the MG looks good too! Heh, funny this all started with my wanting to know what other kits used green LED's, and now I'm dreaming about getting another PG.
>>14277017
based anon
>>14278026
It was actually that way a lot in the series and movies as well
>>14278074
We did watch the movie together a bunch, and he would always poke fun at me for crying for Andrei in it. It was the last Gundam series we saw together, and I think his death is what led or little sister to love Gunpla so much.
His last words to me before he died were the line Lockon keeps saying to Setsuna throughout season 2 and in the movie, probably because he knew it would stick to me like glue."You can change, [Liz]. I couldn't, so you'll have to do it for me."still can't hear that line without almost getting a tear in my eyes.
I can still watch the series and movie, and I do every so often. It's fun to remember the good old days. It's just, now I can't watch the movie without breaking out in tears throughout the entire third act, or whenever Lockon says the line, it's why 00 means so much to me. I'll get that PG 00Russer one of these days, and I'll build it with my sister, for him!
>>14278172
I don't even have a reason for it and I cry bitch tears when Haro flies back to Ptolemy crying for Lockon.I kinda wanna see a Dylandy brothers diorama from you with the Dynames and Cherudim now, though
Yellow cover or blue cover for the chest vulcan on rx78 origin mg?
>>14278179
My friend does an amazing Haro impression, and sometimes says "Lockon, Lockon!" On repeat to mess with me. I'm probably gonna cross play Neil Dylandy to compliment my girlfriend's Tieria, eyepatch and all.I actually have the NG 1/100 Dynames. It shouldn't be too dinged up so I could probably salvage it and repaint it. I should totally get a Cherudim and make a Gundam-bro squad! Might steal this idea for later!
anons, i had to take a break from gunpla due to financial reasons and school, but now i have time. im thinking of picking up my 1st MG, and im leaning towards the THUNDERBOLT GUNDAM VER. KA, or the shin musha MG. Input welcome.
>>14278188
blue on white looks better imo
>>14278209I'm looking forward to it
Anyone got any recommendations on Transformers gunpla?
All the reviews I find are for movie ones, but this will be a gift for a child of the original cartoons and comics.
He loves all the Transformers, so I'm not too concerned with what character you suggest.
>>14278210
These are both good choices, but Shijn Musha is kinda old and FA Thunderbolt is unavailable currently
How about a sengoku astray for that musha aesthetic, and for practice as it's your first?
>>14278229
>Transformers gunpla
W-wut
Read the OP again, gunpla = gundam plastic models
plamo = plastic model
So really you ought to have said Transformers plamo
Anyway, I can't really help you, sorry.
>>14278229
The closest thing you'll get to G1 transformers kits are the Kabaya candy toy kits, but they're stickerfests for the most part and are out of print, so you'll have to head onto Ebay for them
should i pay 50$ for the 1/144 pale rider P bandai kit?
>>14278317
If you want it, yes.
If you're getting it JUST to get a Pbandai kit, no.
I hope for your sake that 50 involves shipping as well.
>>14278373
its just i have bad luck with p bandai kits, 1 month ago i payed 50$ for the HG p bandai gold frame astray, then a cheaper RG came out
>>14278303
I found these on Mandarake thanks to your Kabaya suggestion. Can't find much info about them elsewhere, not even on the supposed complete toy list on the Transformers wiki.
Thanks for the help. I'll keep looking into them.
>>14278383
Rest assured Pale Rider is sitting comfortably in Pbandai, and there are NO indicators for a possible normal release.Consequently you should have been expecting a Pbandai Gold RG after Blue came out Pbandai.
>>14278398
hello Australia
I can't read runes but I take it the bottom says it's partly related to aqua gm? I can kinda see it with none unicorn version hell even slightly with waterproof Gundam.
>>14278593
>>14278593
If it's planned hopefully not P bandai
>>14278601
I can see similarities and easy part swaps now
>>14278593
Basically it's just saying this is what lead to the development of those units.
>>14277833
>>14277848
>>14277904
Not a big enough fan of the Turns, sorry.
I like that idea about different universes, but I'd probably lean toward some SEEDshit, if I do that.
Kinda diggin the Crossbone suggestion.
I kinda think the V2 would tie everything together nicely, but I've heard some bad things about it. Anyone have any experience with the v2 ver. ka?
What's the best mass production Zaku II kit?
>>14278656
Perfect Grade.
Also know as being one of the best PG ever created.
>>14278656
MG 2.0
>>14278619
Looks nice but can't hold gun and things are prone to popping off.
>>14278619
The V2 is one of the only kits I actively regret purchasing, it's an unstable mess that only looks pretty when you have it standing in a nice neutral pose.
>>14278662
PG is old as fuck and has silly proportions.
MG 2.0 Zaku II is still the best thing Bandai has every created. Absolutely perfect in every way.
>>14277899
They made revive gundam and most of the revive kits cheaper than normal to make them appealing to beginners.
Also origin local type isn't known and probably wont even be in the ova so they think it wont sell
>>14278735
>We'll never have a HG Zaku that compares to the MG 2.0
The newer releases are simply too cluttered.
>>14278693
>>14278701
Yeah, that's what I'd thought.
Well shit.
Honestly the main thing keeping me back from the Stein is the head. Something about it is just "off".
>>14278608
so chances are if they do make a water proof gundam its gonna be pbandai. I dont know if they would make a msd aqua gm but its possible. However youd think theyed more then likely use the retcon version thats seen in unicorn.
>>14278816
What? No. I'm doubtful they'd even make it. It's like 99% new kit.
>>14278816
I'd say there's a chance we might see an Aqua GM to go with the Unicorn TV series.
>>14277899
Simple inner frame, less separated outer armor parts. The origin kits seem to have more inner frame plastic and detail, then the parts arnt solid chunks the torso in the zaku 2 origin alone has more parts for the chest shoulder articulation. the front skirt is separated and it has a lot of spare parts from the other molds it uses. Hell the shoulder joint alone is a armature on both sides.
So part separation, amount of plastic, amount of clear plastic, colors, etc etc.
>>14278860
Have we gotten any new Unicorn kits that aren't just recolors aside from the RG Sinanju?
I kinda doubt we would get a new one episode jobber GM particularly when the shamwow is extremely unlikely to get a kit.
>>14278593
>>14278891
Maybe they'll extend the Aqua GM's sequence a little in the TV series?
I mean, it would work as a counterpart to the Zogok and Scuba Zulu.
First time I painted a kit, looks like shit in my eyes but a least I tried
>>14278918
Rear View
>>14278918
You know, it's a decent first attemptaside from the white
>>14278918
The handbrushing's a little odd. Should have probably masked and sprayed them instead.
>>14278918
>>14278922
It's a good first attempt Anon, if you can learn from this, you'll go far.
>>14278941
This. It's decent enough for a first paintwork. Just learn to mask for the sleeves white markings and it should look much better.
>>14278829
Of course it be redesigned slightly for origin but if you look at the original concept and what we have as a base frame right now its vary feasible. Note the way the legs go together the knee and calfs are separate armor from the rest of the leg. Swapping those parts is easily another part of the runner. The front skirt and back skirt unless altered for origin will need changed while the side skirt either swaps out or has the new armor slot over it with the pegs. The crotch will probably be two separate pieces The beam pikes mount on the skirt through a rack that can also attach to the peg.
The arm weapons just mount on the shield slots where as the shoulder armor would be new. The torso armor already is made to slot into the front of the chest and stomach armor so that is another easy swapped part. The back pack is all new unless the redesign it. and the head everything but the visor would need altered but this has been done time and time again. The question is will it be pbandai or normal release if this is the plan. I mean look at the gouf prototype and origin gouf prototype they changed a bit on it for the origin design.
>>14278941
R-really? Thanks Anon o:
>>14278916
In one of the manga they have it so the zee zulu take on aqua gm and waterproof gundam. Both are so dated they hardly keep up.
Anyone know when the RG Qan[T] is supposed to available for shipping?
I know the kit's finally released in japan, but the wait is killing me.
>>14278916
So far it been 1:1 with some minor improvements and about 7 minutes of intro, outro, recap and episode preview.
I kinda doubt it, but the Torrington episodes and final battle episodes are the most likely to get expanded for merchandising.
>>14279057
HG GUSTAV KARL, BAY-BEE!
>>14278026
why is the rx-78-1 prototype piss yellow instead of black and red?
So I've bought a Dragon Momoko Tallgeese 2, what am I in for?
I've heard about the bad polycaps and somewhat poor fittings, anything else I should know?
>>14279102
Because Origin is not the same as the original series. It actually appears in origin rather than as a msv. It being engaged by one of Char's flunkies and using a beam on it causes the Zaku's reactor to go critical and blow a hole in side 7.
Anybody here ever order from usagundamstore.com? How was their service?
>>14279128
>>14279102
And IIRC the reason they made it yellow in origin is that it's more of a prototype for early testing purposes and the sort of crash dummy look is meant to reflect that.
>>14279102
Ever see a crash test dummy?
>>14279102
Yeah I got used to that pissy colored variant. It honestly reminds me more of a crash test dummy. I still plan on grabbing the HG Local Type Gundam.
Might grab a few and make one in the Proto Gundam black and red colors. It might look cool!!
>>14278383
Its an astray. Their always coming out. I'd buy it as I have a pale rider of my own.
Excuse the heavy weathering.
Outdoor photos are the way to go though.
>neighbors see me crouched over a small toy taking very close up pictures in dirt
>>14279335
>>14279335
>weathering on plain plastic
It just looks like a really dirty toy that you left outside.
I'd comment on the actual weathering but you need to learn how to paint first.
>>14279335
Even worse than snapfit lmao
>>14279356
>It just looks like a really dirty toy that you left outside.
I vaguely recall him saying that "dirty toy left outside for too long" was his intention upon painting it, when he first posted it.
>>14279393
maybe anon should just get good instead of coming up with shitty "stories" for his model kits
>>14279411
>>14279393
>>14279371

>>14279345
Theres no need to be this mean. criticism helps no one when it comes from derision. You people need to get off of your high horses and stop ridiculing someone who is trying to make progress.
>>14279444
>trips
>>14279444
I'm not making fun. Dude needs to learn how to paint before weathering. That's a fact.
>>14279371
fuck off snapfag. No one's falling for your shit
>>14279466
>dubs
>>14278924
This. The rest is alright. Dat white though....
>>14279444
Go back to redit. If you post here, you're going to get criticized, hard. Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way. Helps you get good.
>>14279503
being malicious for fun makes people get good? No it drives away people from sharing their work, which might prevents them from meaningful insight/tips. It may even drive people away from the hobby altogether and if you truly cared about this hobby at all that would be the LAST thing you'd want to do.
There are 88 different IP addresses posting in this thread today yet only 3-4 posted their work. Why is that? Because you people are so damn happy to start flinging insults instead of offering encouragement.
Summer has come. No more painting for me. I regret not investing in that spray booth.
>Mask filters say GME-P100
>Double checking the guide, it says get the ones that say OV/P100
Did I grab the wrong ones, or can I still use these?
>>14279576
Wait, nevermind, I found the part that says OV/P100.
>>14279518
Look at the GM yesterday that made the OP. That was only praised. Know why? It was well done. If something is of low quality it should be critiqued accordingly. We offer tips as well as criticize, generally. And people can then know they did wrong and seek how to fix it. Stop being butthurt.
>>14279518
>may even drive people away from the hobby altogether
Do you even know where you fucking are?
>I'm done with all the hate and negativity! I am going to singlehandedly change this board's culture to fit my own tastes!
Fuck off faggot. I hope you do quit building gunpla, you were never good enough to begin with. You have no influence here, and never will. Remember that.
>>14279518
>only 3-4 posted their work
I am pretty sure most of the >>14275927 replies and the ammunition replies are original work
btw take a look at that Astrea in >>14276069, I built that, it was so hilariously bad it was chosen for the next op pic. Then I laughed at my own incompetence and built the later two at some point. It's still bad by a lot of means but at least I ain't complaining cyberbullying on a mongolian throat singing image board.
>>14279603
>We offer tips as well as criticize, generally.
And in those posts he quoted, 'learn how to paint' is the only vaguely instructive critique there is.
The rest is 'git gud' or 'looks like shit'. Is a proper critique above you, or something?
>>14279642
Well, what do you want as a reply if the goddamn guide already covers how to paint? The guy with the Rozen Zulu got good advice in this very thread because it was a genuinely good first attempt.
pbandai X3 incoming
>>14279684
Worst Crossbone who cares
>>14279695
enjoy your Zaku II
>>14277084
the yellow makes me want to vomit
>>14278791
Go with based crossbone
Anyone have the MG Strike IWSP?
Or the Astray version?
Kinda thinking about picking it up. Shit looks cool tbqh.
Build is good?
>>14279021
It's ready, I think as of today.
About to place my order.
Airbrush noob here, got a pretty nice old double action aztek from a friend for free, now I need some kind of compressor. The thing is my dad has a pretty heavy duty 150 psi compressor for a nail gun (porter-cable brad nailer) so I was wondering if it's possible to use that thing for airbrushing, I know I'd need an adapter and that you ideally want to be doing airbrushing around 10-20 psi but I'm not sure the thing goes that low easily.
>>14277788
Yes.
>>14279149
Wait, what purpose does it have being piss yellow? To detect chunks of it that get rekt?
>>14279838
I'm not sure at all, but you'd need a water trap, a very fine psi regulator and something to convert from 1/4 to 1/8 inches. Talking out of half remembered things I've heard so don't take my word for it.
I think the psi is far too high to even start with anyway.
>>14279629
Indeed, while you still have a long way to go, you're showing improvement. Thin your paints, and be a bit more careful. Also WTF paints are you using anyways?
>>14279518
Not to mention, some of us don't have any new work to post, so we don't, but have posted their own stuff in the past. I'm also guessing you're new to 4chan if you're that caught up over some insults over the internet. It's what we do here.
>>14279862
all spray cans, grey is just the primer
>>14279849
Yea it seemed a bit much... I'd kinda like to just buy a CO2 bottle as that would be silent cheapish (in the short term) so that I can use it in my room without waking anybody. Is it safe brushing acrylics indoors? I do have a mask and a ceiling vent.
>>14279873
Ever consider going back and stripping the paints, giving it a once over?
>>14279880
nah I intend to keep it that way, reminder of the good ol' timesI'm just depressed as fuck and lost interest in fucking everything
Was working on a mask for a cosplay for a local weebfest coming up, and since I had some left over fabric from making the mesh mask portion, I decided to make a half assed cloak with what I got, and it turned out pretty decent I think. Will definitely remake this guy once I have the time, and get my hands on the Gyan Revive.
>>14279873
I mean what sort of Spray cans? That makes a huge difference.
