***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.

Question: Can the RG Qan[T] easily hold the RG 00R's weapons?
>>14362302
The arms and legs of the Qant are exactly the same as the 00, so yes.
>>14362329
I kinda guessed that from looking at the photos, but needed confirmation. thanks m8.
>no RG Gelgoog
>>14362302
I haven't built the kit myself (yet), but it seems to use a different arm frame than Exia and 00. One of the anons from the last thread was almost finished building his, so he can probably give you a more definite answer.
Sorta(?) gunpla related, but my X-Wing is finished.
>>14362366
Plamo, not Gunpla, I'll just state it before someone spergs about that terminology.
Totally welcome here.
Gonna sperg about:
>that
>an X-Wing
Other than that, looks decent, but the panel lining (if that's what it is), looks a little wobbly. Maybe a smaller pen/marker would've benefited you.
Finished my first actually Gundam today. MK II. Squads coming along pretty well.
>>14362352
I already answered the question. Source: I have both kits anon is asking about.
>>14362345
Probably just a matter of time, it is a Char suit after all and probably like the Z'Gok the mass production model will be P-Bandai.
>>14362377
That Guncannon looks so fucking sassy
>>14362374
I used one of those new pour-type panel lining pens but ending up having to go over some parts again because of the white paint I was dry brushing on the kit for a snow effect (it doesn't show up well on camera).
As for the design, I've warmed up to it.
storage box update: organized as fuck.
>>14362819
Nice. Are those all spare parts? or something you're working on?
>>14362826
I'm a huge cheapass and just used double sided tape to stick sandpaper to dollar store sponges
>>14362833
that works too lol. I just like sponges for round parts
My first model. What have I gotten myself into? I always wanted to try it and it was $30.
>>14362848
You got gypped bucko.
>>14362848
Pretty good, although I would've recommended you start with one of the HG wings because RGs are a little fiddly and it's easy for them to look good but easy for them to look bad as well.
All the same if you have the tools go right into it, they're pretty fun.The tools are nippers, an xacto knife, 1000 1500 and 2000 grit sandpaper
>>14362833
good luck sanding anything curvy with that and not making flat patches
>>14362884
>being a degenerate
>>14362884

>>14362884
Whats the point of posting this or even buying thses kind of figures in the first place? Advertising that you're single and plan on staying that way?
Better than the 3.0 and the origin version.
>>14362920
uglier too
>>14362912
>not being a waifufag
It's 2016
>>14362826
This may be a dumb question, but do you have to replace those sanding sponges? Or will they last pretty much forever as long as you rinse them out?
>>14362957
Yeah eventually they'll clog too badly or just disintegrate from too much wear. I do wash them out after use under the sink and use an old toothbrush to work all the caked up crap out of them so that should prolong the use. In my experience they last much longer than sand paper.
Was anyone else really disapointed in the last fight of unicorn? So much hype for the neo zeong but it wasn't that exciting. The earth battles were way more fun to watch
is the mg crossbone va ka any good? I know the other mg is shit
>>14362952
>being usakafag
>>14362848
>30 dollars
You paid too much.
>>14362986
Its pretty old but it comes with a hell of a lot of accessories and weapons. I found the legs are a bit dodgy and the X booster thing on the core fighter tends to sag a bit. The cape is also pretty difficult to get right but it does look cool.
>>14363004
Mandarake had a pricing error or something I assume? I'd say $30 is a very reasonable price.
>>14362345
I'm hoping for a Gelgoog RG down the line.
Maybe Char's Dom as well.
>>14362345
>>14362345
FUCK RG GELGOOG
I want a fucking RG dom a RG gouf a RG GM.
I couldn't give a fuck about the trash that is gelgoog
>>14363026
>dom
>gouf
>gm
Char never pilot any of those (novel Char's Rick Dom aside).
Meanwhile, we have RG Char's Zaku and Z'gok. So Gelgoog has bigger chance because Japanese love Char.
Also fuck your shit taste.
>>14363026
>Not liking the Gelgoog
Leave and take your shit taste with you.
I'm just glad we're back to RG UC again. I hope it lasts for at least one more release.
So finished painting this. Need to go and buy the coat to airbrush as opposed to spraying through a can, screwed up some areas.
Gonna do some washes and chipping and that's probably as far as I'll go. But for my first fully painted kit I'm pretty happy.

>>14362920
>>14362943
Its much more better if she put on her full armor form.
And i like the color scheme more than clowney ass 78-2. And its not bland either.
>>14363215
Sage still works as always; in the option field. It's just no longer visible.
>>14362986
The Crossbone Ver Ka is very pretty, and the beam cutlass and cape are pretty nice. It's only down fall is that the hands don't grip the weapons very well, and the beam cutlass is huge compared to the tiny baby hands it has, so it droops a lot. The X-booster is a bit loose, but it might just be because mine is a bit old. Overall, fun kit, cape is cool, but the hands and fiddley bits are a downer.
>>14362920
>doesn't have the 3.0 hands
WELP, I guess that's one less MG to get.I already have the 2.0 and Origin MG, and am only interested in getting more RX-78-clone kits with them 3.0 hands!
>>14363375
But it's not even really a clone given how different it is. It might still carry the name but it's pretty significantly different friend.
>>14363375
Just do a simple hand wrist mod.
Also why did you start posting with a name? Your work is good so I don't mind but just wondering.
>>14363384 #
Nah, I get that it's got it's differences, but the fact it's just the FA-78, plus the all the similarities, and yet no 3.0 hands, just doesn't do it for me. Idk, just personal preference. Maybe one day, when I need a new project, and see all the gimmicks it's got besides armor purge and all the FA bits, I'll think about it, but I'm just not sold on any of these Thunderbolt kits yet.
>>14363396
>Just do a simple hand wrist mod.
Hmmm, on second thought, this might be a fun project. With those DM hands, and he FA-78...this might actually sell it for me.
And idk, just figured I should, since I've made like 7 Barbies now. I'm pretty much the Barbatosfag. I really should get around to finishing the family, just need 3 more Barbies.
>>14363407
Why do you call them 3.0 hands? Nu ver.ka was the first kit to use them. The 3.0 was like the third or 4th.
There's also a couple third party versions of them if that's all that's bothering you.
>>14363497
I mostly do it because, in my head, they're used in the RX-78 3.0 while the 2.0 has the old thumb-1-3 fingered hand design. Idk, just a thing I say, like how I call Unicorn destroy Marbled Meat Man, and the 00R the 00Russer. Just things my girlfriend and I call them that stuck with me.
What are the two hands you posted there? I assume the one on the right are the DM ones, but I've not seen the others. I really like fully articulated hands, so changing up some of my other MG's with them would be cool practice for the FA-78, if and when I do get it.Who am I kidding, it's a Gundam, worse comes to worse I'll make my little sister make it for me. She loves the RX-78.
>>14362920
Not when he don't lift like my boi The Origin.

Is it absolutely necessary to gloss coat before doing waterslide decals?
I'm just putting the decals on plastic which already has gloss qualities
>>14363872
>safety nubs
>>14363286
too many vents.
bad color scheme
trashbags in the joint areas
>still a few weeks before my orders arrive
>the need to build grows every day
I could draw, but fuck that. I'm motivated to build GMs, not scribble nonsense.
How do you guys feel about the MG GM 2.0? I love GMs, especially the RGM-79, and I'd like to know how the better MG is.
>>14363910
Glosscoat creates a smoother coating, which helps avoid silvering, and helps washes to flow better. You can try to apply waterslides on bare semigloss plastic, but it'll probably take more work to not make it look like a sticker.
>>14362377
WHERE ARE YOUR PANEL LINES AND WHY ARE THOSE SAFETY NUBS NOT TRIMMED BOY
>>14363964
>trashbags in the joint areas
oh god why
>>14363977
Very little inner frame differences with the Gundam 2.0 it's derived from. Holds together real good. Face visor is a little less tinted than I'd like, but nothing some clear green can't fix.
MG Nemo pretty good too if you're looking to build other visor face suits.
>>14363977
>I love GMs, especially the RGM-79
You. I like you.
>>14364011
It's not about visorface, just Jim. I fucking love me some Jims and I couldn't tell you why. Zack is okay too, but Jim is my boy.
I saw an Amazon review saying the legs fell off, I'm guessing the guy just built it wrong.
>>14363985
im so new. dont hurt me anon-sama.Im waiting to get an actual exacto knife to spruce them up. There was a lot of supplies I didnt know I should of gotten before I started
>>14364058
Best to ignore most comments on Amazon for Gundam models, for some reason they attract idiotic comments above the background levels.
I recall some spaz a while ago went to every Dragon Momoko listing and left a comment only saying bootleg.
>>14363026
I want an RG Harute or Zabanya, Final mission version.
>>14364058
That guy probably didn't push the leg pegs all the way in. My Zaku 2.0 and Gundam 2.0's leg pegs were the same way, but put a little pressure and they'll snap in A-okay and everything will hold up great afterwards.
>>14364059
You can't get to a Walmart or something?
>>14364077
>>14364081
Good to hear that guy was an idiot like I thought. Jim for victory!
This seems like a good deal to those who like the design.
>>14363006
>I'd say $30 is a very reasonable price.
Even with shipping on the 1 kit, it works out at about $25.45 from HLJ.com. On amazon, the same kit was $23.97 with free international shipping.
Yeah the difference is not huge, but shop around in future.
>>14363026
I'd settle for RG Gelgoog and an Origin GM or a revive. I'd donate more blood to gunpla blood god for Revive Gelgoog Jegar and GM Cold Districts/Comander.

>>14362972
Atmospheric Re-entry fights are my favorite. Fast paced, high tension, fighting against gravity and then if the battle continues on land they have to scramble and adapt asap.
>>14365249
Super Zaku F2000 has the base Zaku F2 but also a whole bunch of option parts that make up the Zaku F2000.
Graze Ritter has all the parts for stock graze, and Ryusei Go has all the parts for Graze Kai.
EZ-SR has option parts for three different configurations
Amazing Exia is the Exia R2 with a bunch of option parts, including parts to convert the GN Sword III into a great swordDark matter is the same but in red and with an orange GN sword piece
Vdash comes with a Vhexa headpiece and can be configured as vanilla Victory
V2AB can likewise be Vanilla V2
If you like the Gself the Assault pack is not only a large brick pack but comes with alternate red Gself
FA Unicorn/Destroy is covered in weapons
Jesta Cannon can be configured as vanilla jesta
007S/G comes with a billion swords
Astraea Type F is the Astraea but in red with a billion weapons, it can also be configured as a red Exia
that's all that comes to mind immediately
>>14365249
Doven Wolf, Dreissen and GM Sniper K9 all come with a shitload of accessories for their price.
>>14365152
probably? I don't imagine that they come topcoated.
What is the most scratch resistant topcoat out there?
>>14365325
>>14365333
>>14365336
What about kits that can produce two or more different figures, like the Loto dual pack or even the Ball dual pack? Are there any other kits like those?
>>14365396
if you get the 1/100 seravee you get seraphim too
>>14365396

Other than that, no not really.
There's that dirt cheap HG starter pack that comes with an RX-78-2 and a Zaku II.
>>14365249
The Operation V kit has some good stuffs
>>14365396
Mk II + Flying Armor, Hyaku Shiki + Mega Bazooka? They're pretty uncommon, and for good reason.

Lacquer based ones like mr super clear and testors dullcoat are pretty strong

>>14365559
Which episode does Freedom v. Impulse happen in?
>>14365605
Don't know. I've never watched SEED and don't really plan to. That art style for the faces is so off putting.
>>14365609
seed is the second best series besides UC
>>14365585
Strong but not super slick. If you really want to prevent scratches you'll have to make it almost frictionless. Plastics, due to inherent wax, have some degree of slipperiness (some more than others, like PTFE) but not so much for paints.
I'm not sure if stuff like grease will harm the paint or plastic but it's worth looking into some sort of lube for scratch prone areas.
I have a NG 1/100 Gundam Barbatos on HJL... Should I cancel it and find something else to build or keep it as my first 1/100 scale?

Picked this up from a local comic book store the other day. It'll be my second build. Any recommendations for what paint markers to get?
>>14366251
At least it isn't the Red Cliff.
>>14366251
Tip:
Don't drubrush metallics all over a flat paintjob to make it look like metal or scratches on gunpla. It looks horribly out of scale and more like just a dirty model than anything else.
>>14366270
>Picked this up from a local comic book store the other day
How much did they screw you over on mark up?
>>14366312
$11, but membership gave me a 10% discount, and I don't mind giving them a few extra bucks, since I like the store
>>14366321
>11 dollars
That's actually a discount. He's 1800 yen MSRP which is about 17 bucks because the yen is becoming stronger for whatever reason. You don't need markers other than the panel line, which is GM01, not GM301. GM301 is pour type and you're gonna have a real bad time trying to panel line with that. I've made that mistake before.
I want Amazing Exia, but I've built too many both GBF and 00 stuff and really need a break before more.
>>14366336

I got a Nobel Berserker for just over normal price. It was on a hobby shop clearance table. That was probably a year ago and I still haven't built her because I need to gitgud or risk ruining Nobel-chan.

I like more pronounced lines, but I don't like the goth lipstick look. There's a balance.
Not trying to defend bad quality builders, but these kits are for your modelling pleasure, not /gpg/'s. That said, don't expect to post stuff like that and not get responses like >>14366382

>>14366398
I don't have crippling grade autism, but for whatever reason, I really dislike the notion of owning multiple grades of the same kit(I say as I own three Exias in three grades), and I just really really would love an RG ν and something tells me we're on the precipice.
Weird, I know, but whatever.
>>14366427
>GN Archer-chan
Is cute. CUUUUTTTEEEE!!!
>>14366429
I'm the same man, the idea of having the same kit in different sizes displayed next to each other is weird. Typically I'll get the MG unless the quality is mediocre then I'll go down to RG, then HG if I want a certain mobile suit.
Perfect Pack G-Self? Anyone have it and wanna comment on it?
>>14362920
That thing is nu levels of classy
Finished my rg rx-78, leg joint and arm joint hinges broke but the exterior is fine n filed all the Nubs off. Just need to apply the stickers but at least it looks good next to my zeta!
>>14362920
God those external thrusters at the legs are such a turn-off to me.
>>14362833
I'm even cheeper and cut a rectangle off of the cardboard box they shipped in and put sandpaper on that.
>>14366374
WHERE DID YOU BUY THAT AND HOW MUCH DID IT COST??
>>14366446
i have one, it really needs extra work and can't just be snapfitted if you want it to look passable
i plan on working and painting mine.. one day...
>>14366083
Oh shit, this is awesome. I didn't get a plamo kit for a long time, but this thing is my kind of mess.
I have a few Frame Arms kits, but I'll get one of the girls too. It just looks like too much fun to pass. They should be compatible with Koto weapon sets right?
>>14366483
>zeta is only supposed to be 2 meters taller than the RX-78-2
>the RG version is almost half the RX-78-2's height taller
HOW
>>14366709
Perspective. The actual RG kits, Zeta's about a head and some change taller than 78-2.
>>14366709
It could help if those action bases were actually set to the same incline. Zeta's a good deal higher up there than the RX-78-2.
>>14366709
It is the perspective. I figured it made more sense zeta would be "floating" higher level since it spent more time in space and was basically designed for outer space.
>>14366718
All n all the rx-78 is just a little bit shorter and not as bulky as the zeta. But zeta is just that way since it transforms.
>>14366483
I used to have that same piraka poster on my wall a few years ago, classic.
>>14366495
likewise.

Oh.
I don't have a good place to put it right now.
Can anyone with either of the HGUC Full Armor Unicorns post what the fuel boosters look like standing up next to any 1/144 Wing kit? (EW kits preferred, but the HGACs and RGs work too)
I need it for reasons.

>Brown goes on Red.
Personally, I've barely used my brown marker, because I think that either black or grey, depending on the context, looks way better on red or yellow than brown does.
>>14366008
New packaging, there are 2 in a box now instead of 1
they're calling it a renewal. Koto does that a lot.
>>14366305
how should you drybrush then?
>>14366778
no meteor unit?
no neo zeong?
do you even like gunpla??
>>14366841
T-thanks
>>14366895
I kinda forget about the Meteor unit, and I haven't really thought about the NZG.
>tfw you spend your retirement savings on gunpla
Thoughts on the color scheme? yeah, I know the lineart is gross, had to throw it together in a hurry.
>>14366903
I'm okay with that, what else would I wanna spend it on when I retire? Going to florida? An RV? A farm? I'd take gunpla over all those
>>14366907
The yellow seems a tad bright, other than that it's looking good.
>>14366907

I'm probably forgetting a lot of the HG's in my backlog, but they're all in boxes since I'm still moving. The only ones I have access to are the MG's and RG's right now.
>>14362366
how was this build. I'm tempted to acquire one, but from what I've seen it looks like decal hell.
>>14366834
Gotchu senpai
Here are the boosters next to my custom Deathscythe ｢ADVANCED DARKNESS｣that I colored using a sharpie
>>14362920
Dope as fuck but can it mount a shield on its arm? I would probably not even build most of that gratuitous mounted weapon shit save for one shield.
>>14366709
You know, there would've been less cases of arm breakage if the shoulder joint for the transformation wasn't so stiff.
>>14362366
Pretty good. Why'd you make the stand a sea of semen tho?
Any tips for applying a gloss topcoat?
I want to spray the yellow minovsky drive bits on my victory two, but I've never used gloss before, is there anything radically different between gloss and matte that I should know about?
>>14367536
yeah, gloss is shiny
>>14367536
Too thick of a gloss coat can produce an 'orange peel' texture. Practice on plastic spoons to ensure this doesn't happen.
>>14367414
Thanks, that's perfect for what I need
>>14367706
you madman.
I wish you the best of luck.
>>14367706
Good luck, anon.

250g...shipping will be 6$. Its either that or pay eBay scalper rates
>>14367706
Have you considered a model of an actual rocket?
>>14367751
I wanted to keep the bits I work with as Gundam as possible. I don't know enough about military models to know which kit has the best looking/best sized missiles. If anything I can just remove the grey pegs at the top and make a conehead out of pla plate for the top.
>>14367142
The three burning kits are all really, really good kits. Great even. Construction is really nice. Whether you like the kit or not, it's a great build.
so who Impulse here
>>14367875
sword impulse won't be a web exclusive, r-right?
>>14367875
Jesus, is that the original HG on the left?
The Revive looks pretty slick. Looks like it'd be a great unit for customization.
>>14367875
the one on the right looks funky as fuck
>>14367875
>tfw Destiny Impulse will not get any kits
So I just got my HGFC Nobel today. If I can get more at retail msrp and free shipping should I? Or is that hoarding and scalping behavior. This completes my HGFC collection!
>>14367934
It has an MG already.
Also it was leading in the "what impluse kit to make next" poll on Bandai's website.
>>14367934
>>14367875
>hg blast impulse is web exclusive
FUCK YOU
>>14367939
but that MG not only is trash, it is also completely WRONG
>>14367880
Since you asked so nicely, Bandai will hide golden tickets in HGCE Impulse kits so you can enter a lottery to have a chance of buying it.Japan only
>>14367946
now where did I put that manonfirejumpsfrombuilding gif?
>>14367939
>>14367942
I'd love to have an RG Destiny Impulse for a teeny-tinier version of the MG.
>>14367939
The P-Bandai MG is the Destiny Impulse R.
The fully armed Destiny Impulse only exists in this sweet as fuck Robot Damashii form.Also P-Bandai.
It does lack the transforming support unit backpack gimmick the R has.

Literally nothing wrong with this as long as you sell to /gpg/, just give us a small token discount.
