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 GYAN.
>>14434812
Shinki!?
What are you doing in the OP!?
>>14434831
I´m so hyped for the Gyancelot.
So, what kits are on your wishlist for a Revive release that haven't gotten an announcement yet?
Holy shit friends, an actual reprint of the Gundam decals coming this month. These are all waterslides, right?
>>14434918
Gelgoog.
It really needs it.
>>14434918
Zeta
>>14434831
I bought the Revive, what am in for?
>>14434918
Jim, Zackalthough that one is just a simple retooling of the Origin mold, and then maybe Destiny? I don't really care about whats getting revived as long as the model comes out decent and the list keeps moving.
I'm holding my breath for the RG Wing boys and RG 00 boys, though.

>Pretty much every GBF kit gets reprinted
>Meteor Hopper gets reprinted
>Amazing Weapon Binder and every other accessory kit bar Chicken hands and a few things sprinkled here and there don't.
Anyone ever feel like there's some kind of oily substance on your kit when you first get it? Airbrush told me they use some kind of spray to help the molds pop out or keep them from sticking. I feel like some of that was on this Hi-Zack I built...
>>14434964
Amazing Binder, Portent Flyer, and the Kurenai weapon set are all readily available on amazon, I'm sure the state of the shelves back in Japan are about the same.
That leaves.. the Lightning backpacks that got reprinted was it last month or the month before? Then there's the powered powereder, in a similar state?
They really didn't leave that much out, as far as I can tell.
1/20 Scopedog restock fucking when?
>>14435135
July.
So except from the FAGs are there any other mecha girl plamo kits out there???
>>14435237
the new desktop army series, but the horizon is pretty bleak for mecha musume in general.
There's the armor girls project but those are closer to figures.
>>14435142
Oh shit.
I should ask that question more often.
>>14435310
Check amiami, most of them are still in pre-order.
And a new 1/35 from WAVE is coming in September
http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-4091
>>14435369
They have a four pack of all the customs from The Last Red Shoulder.
I'm very tempted. It's a hefty price, but I've been in a VOTOMS mood, yet I have no VOTOMS kits.
But the question is... are they good?

I'd suggest a gravity-fed, internal-mix double action airbrush (gravity fed meaning it feeds from a reservoir in the top, which is less prone to feed problems when there's little paint in the reservoir; internal-mix because it gives a more even result; and double action because you can adjust both the pressure and the width of the spray pattern on the fly), and not worry about getting an expensive model until you've learned how to handle the "cheap" version. (Note that a cheap starter kit with an airbrush and compressor runs about $200 US, and the compressor will be terrible. *Good* hardware runs in the $300 US range for the compressor alone, and the same again for the air brush - I suggest changing the compressor before the brush though as even a cheap airbrush with a good compressor is better than an expensive airbrush with a cheap compressor)
>>14435826
I guess this stuff is actually quite expensive
I think I might have to reconsider
>>14434918
Gelgoog and all variants. ESPECIALLY the Gelgoog Marine.
>>14434918
Goog, GM, Command, and Alex are my top picks but they've all been mentioned. They're all good designs that came out just a little too soon before the technology was ready to handle them. I'd prefer releasing updates of old 1/144 MSVs or even bringing in ones that have never had a release before.
Also, if they don't want to risk money on a kit, why not sell a cheap 1 runner conversion kit? It can't be that difficult and you can still jew it for 7-8 bucks. Is it simply because they can't release a full kit of that design at a later point? I'm a huge MSV fan and I'd love if they released, for example, just the torso and backpack for GM Cannon.
>>14435838
You honestly don't need to spend 200$ if you are just starting to airbrush. This is a pretty cheap starter kit that I used when i first started https://www.amazon.com/Master-Airbrush-Multi-purpose-Dual-action-Compressor/dp/B001TO578Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1467421805&sr=8-3&keywords=master+airbrush
>>14435912
master airbrushes are pretty decent for being a knockoff but as your skill increases you'll find a bunch of flaws
Getting somewhere now, have some errors to fix but now I can see them at least!
>>14436025
made these little handles out of rod styrene just to see how the corners would turn out, but I think they look nice even if they make little sense
Got my Jinrai in yesterday. While I work on the limbs I borrowed some parts from architect and regular frame arms Zenrai assault unit because a limbless robot girl was kind of creepy.
>>14434812
Look at this crap
Have any of you built Victory Gundam gunpla at all?
Not the actual "Victory" model type, but other mobile suits from that series. I don't think I have ever seen any posted here before.
The image is not mine, but it's very related.
>>14436072
...is that a foot sprouting from another foot?
>>14436079
Bandai doesn't reprint them often and they take some actual skill to pretty up into something decent looking.
>>14436032
Just hand-wave them as crane hook on points when the gundam is disassembled in the maintenance garage.
They look cool regardless.
>>14436086
Those are Rebake's regular feet.
>>14436079
I've built a few, but I haven't really done stuff with them because I'm shit and too lazy.
>>14436079
I've got the Gun-EZ and Gunblaster coming in from Mandarakebut I'm a filthy snapfriend so it ain't gonna look as nice as that
>>14436098
Actually the ones on the left shoulder are from the Kimaris it looks like.
>>14436137
Oh, I thought he meant the actual feet. I didn't even recognize the kimaris legs on the rear shoulder.
Translated Nouhin, only did gundam stuff because bandai prints too much shit and I can't be fucked translating One Piss kits
Items of note are the huge restock of gundam decals, this happens pretty rarely.
http://pastebin.com/eKMRamhB
Question for my airbrush people.
Most people use a harsher liquid for cleaning their AB like hardware store lacquer thinner. After you use that do you use something else to flush the airbrush to make sure none of that harsh stuff is lingering and interacts with your paint? And if so what do you use, or do you find it to not be a problem?
>>14436122
Abe is top-tier taste, anon
>>14436122
>Gun-EZ
You mean the Cancer-Easy
>>14436079
The only stuff I have from Victory Gundam are three HGUC V2s (currently done up as one Assault, one Buster, and one Assault Buster).
The V2 - even the slightly overscale HGUC version - is hilarious to pose next to some of the other suits I have, as my collection leans towards the larger end of the spectrum. S, Ex-S, all the Unicorns in Destroy mode, Nu, Hi-Nu, Sazabi... all of these 20+ meter suits, and there's this *midget* of a suit that barely reaches crotch height on most of them, and it can wipe the floor with all of them at the same time...
>>14436249
I've never used anything stronger than 96% denatured alcohol (I only use acrylics for airbrushing, and this washes them right off), and at that strength the alcohol left in the airbrush evaporates in seconds.
>>14436089
>>14436113
>>14436122
Hmmm, thanks for the feedback.
Yeah they do seem rarer than other gunpla sets. It's too bad since some of them look pretty interesting when given a lot of attention and detail.
Once I get my hands on some simpler sets and have more experience I will try some Victory sets myself. Thanks.
Here is another image (not mine) for your pleasures.
>>14436321
There's someone on ebay selling a few 1/144 Victory sets, I like how some comes with stands and cards for backgrounds
What are the other kits that got rereleased recently like hydra gundam? I can't remember their names, just that they're a bitch to find. I bought one off of amazon for about 50 dollars two years ago for a friend because it was the cheapest available and it was apparently his favorite. The hobby shop across the street is now selling one for ten.
A shame try didn't print any of the better kits like that kitbash of hydra, nataku and whatever else or the super xamel.
At least we got the end and try-on 3
>>14436327
>>14436327
Thanks for the heads up, unfortunately the country I am from (Canada) is most likely going to have its postal service strike and shut-down tomorrow or the next day, so I will have to pass (at least for now).
MG Nu Ver Ka

Destiny
>>14436079
They require a lot of work as others have said. Here's a snapped vigna ghina just to give you an idea as unpainted kit pics are harder to find for these.
do any of you guys have gundam breaker designs you want to build? I just got GB3 recently and it's a lot of fun
>>14436574
Looks sweet, thanks for sharing.
What're some of the fastest mobile suits?
I need to salvage something for thrusters for maximum gofast.
>>14436748
lots of thunderbolt
Should I display my MG Unicorn in Destroy or Unicorn mode? I actually like Unicorn mode much more, but it feels like it'd be a bit of a waste to not have it as a Gundam, and it was a bitch and a half to actually transform it into a Gundam the first time around
>>14436338
The aesculpius is the best of the g unit kits. That fucking akt mode is boss
>>14436918
>aesculpius
Just looked that up, it turns into a z'gok looking thing, that's sick.
Backpacks uhhhh finds a way
>>14436828
Unicorn mode is definitely more stable, and less prone to shedding parts. The beam sabers on mine aren't held in place on their pegs by anything, the arm panels (which you connect the shield to...) fall off, and the psychoframe in the knees won't lock into place, so overall the kit is terrible for posing, or at least mine is. In Unicorn mode this doesn't matter as much because the parts in question are hidden or held in place by other parts, but in Destroy mode... argh!
Still keeping mine in Destroy mode though, for basically the same reason you mentioned - it's a bitch to transform and I don't want to do it too much and risk breaking stuff as happened on my VF-25s.
>>14437000
>tfw stuck a barbecue skewer behind the knee to get the psychoframe to stick in place
Only way I could get it to stay forward
>Playing SRW
>Run into a suit that will never ever get a kit
>Want one anyways so you just go with the next-best looking thing
Vrabe would probably fit the Duraxyll's aesthetic better, but there's no lineart for it.
>>14436748
For plain early-mid UC thruster power, check out the Sinanju and Sazabi, as they have thrusters literally out the ass.
00 also has some wild possibilities for combining stuff - stick two Quanta shields on the backpack of the 00, and it'll have twelve sword bits plus the two swords; or you can swap the arms of the 1.5 Gundam for the arms of the Reborns, and have three GN Drives.
Then there's the Voiture Lumiere from the V2 Gundam, or the ludicrously huge boosters on the Ex-S...
>>14437038
I'm thinking of a cheaper kit that has a lot of actual thrusters. I'd like to avoid 00 wankery, and I don't want them to be too big either. Even though they're pricey I think a thunderbolt kit might work for what I'm looking for, especially with those really long thin ones. Although I think those are tanks on some mobile suits?
>>14436748
did someone say thruster spam?
>>14436018
Looks pretty great to me anon, are you going to paint it in a different colour scheme or just regular RX-78?
>>14437074
Oh right, I could just get another schwabbe graze.
>>14437038
>Then there's the Voiture Lumiere from the V2 Gundam
>>14436032

How did you do it? Bend it after heating?
I'VE GOT THIS FEELING LIKE MY VEINS ARE FILLED WITH NOTHING BUT GASOLINE
The O's beam blades work with the Messala, fyi.
>Manual says it it just clicks on

seriously who said force impulse was a good start on MG
I want to build the Sazabi Ver Ka but no nothing about water decals. Redpill me please.
>>14436249
I use tool cleaner and after that leave the airbrush partially disassembled for it to evaporate off. (With the ventilation on of course)
If I am switching colors I use mr color thinner to clean up the previous color.
Are there any notable MGs besides the ones mentioned in the OP?

>>14438080
>>14438082
I'm just wondering if there's any MGs with interesting engineering, that are different to build, etc. I hear Turn X is a really fun build, and I'm wondering if there's others.
>>14434918
Several GM types
And Dynames. RG would be ideal but Bandai hates money.
>>14438138
>Bandai hates money
>Because they won't release GMs
GMs consistently sell "meh". It's why we get dozens of zaku releases but rarely a GM.
Pick an RG you want.

>>14438205
You forgot the Dynames part of his post, buddy
>>14438415
I was addressing the GM part. Dynames actually has a chance of selling decently.
>>14438210
MORE WINGBOYS WHEN
>>14438210
For UC: Xi Gundam, Sazabi, Nu Gundam/Hi Nu Gundam, Ex-S Gundam (even though it would most likely be grenade status), Rezel, Zudah, Gelgoog or Gundam MK III (I have the RE/100 but it'd be awesome to have one in a 1/144 scale, especially as an RG)
For AU: Kyrios, Dynames, Virtue (especially if they could workout Nadleeh inside, Cheridum SAGA, Seravee II, Flag Custom, Heavy Arms ver. ka, Deathscythe, Tallgeese, and Gundam X.
>>14438210
EW Heavy Arms, or any IBO kitscan't have too many enough Grazes!.
>>14437057
You can buy seperate thruster sets from Kotobukiya and Bandai you know. No need to waste extra cash.
>>14436032
you know some of the early MG kits from the 90s actually came with those in the box? they threw in some extra detail parts if people wanted to glue them on later.

so the Ex-s gundam recently got a nice metal parts robot damashii, any possible chance it might get a HGUC revive? I dont want to work on making the shitty old HG kit pretty and then have my efforts wasted if a revive comes out of nowhere.
Holy shit, the new Gyan is so good. It's so dense, like the process of just lifting it up feels so satisfying.

No, only the backpack works. The new Gyan shoulders aren't compatible with the valuable pod.
>>14439874
The HGUC Bawoo isn't so why would the 1/100 one be.
>>14439360
If we get Sazaki working, because he's a funnier character than we've ever had
>>14435826
Why does the quality of the compressor make so much difference? I mean, all it does is put air into the tank. Wouldn't the regulator be more important?

>>14439954
A cheap compressor of the type you get with the rock bottom starter sets doesn't have a tank, it feeds directly to the airbrush and the only pressure vessel is the hose.
I have one of these, that I got for free from a friend that upgraded, and it sucks rocks, but it's all I've got and all I can afford because disposable income and I are words that don't go together.
>>14439954
They last longer and won't explode
>>14440162
>won't explode
How does this happen though?
>>14440185
use, it's still a motor
not really an explosion but cheap compressors do fail
>>14440263
>not really an explosion but cheap compressors do fail
I could understand shorts and burning, but explosions seems a bit over the top, especially for small motors like the ones we use for airbrushing.
>>14440263
Not him but is there anything wrong with using a 'shop compressor', it has a water trap and a regulator installed, and I have a secondary water trap on my airbrush just to be sure.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVP_A7eGYxw
>>14440286
how fine is the adjustment on the regulator
that's the major concern
>>14440306
that's a tank failure though, and at a much higher pressure than a hobby compressor
and the tank was clearly kept outside and rusted
>>14440328
I was able to get it to about 15PSI according to the gauge, if that's the only problem I could just get a more precise regulator if it's ever an issue.
>>14440347
I think you would be ok with most paints then
really "hot" paints (like high solvent content true laquers) such as alclad metals might be tough though because they can go fast and the effect depends a lot on your air control
>>14439908
Gundam build fighters Try is the most disappointing thing since my son.
These >>14440029 make me want to work on a new weapon on the side while I finish mr. origin
What are some cool weapon designs? Any that haven't had models?
I'll probably end up making some up but I'm interested in seeing what people consider their favorite weapons.
>>14440424
>What are some cool weapon designs? Any that haven't had models?
Have you checked some of G-Reco's designs? Most of the weapons like bazookas or guns seem cool and easy to do.
>>14440149
But then, a cheap compressor with a tank gives the same results as an expensive compressor with a tank, Yes?
>>14440424
Is that the GM rifle from a couple weeks/months ago?
>>14440424
Claw weapons are always cool. Or armored powerfists.
>>14440424
>>14440437
Kabakali's shotgun looks pretty nice, it's a solid and simple design.
>>14440445
only difference would be how long it lasts and how noisy it is basically yeah
I have a Paasche D3000R that is great, I have my connections taped and I literally leave it on all the time because the tank just stays topped and it doesn't leak, so I can just start painting any time. I haven't turned it off in probably 5 months. I would never go back to a tankless compressor at this point, there are too many advantages.
>>14440451
yeah I have until January for that project so I've been focusing on the origin kit but I finished the optics. Like how the barrels can swap out, I made the connection for the longer rifle scope able to snap into the top of the smaller optic.
>>14440459
>>14440459
>>14440479
>>14440451
both the smaller optic and the larger one are secured just by friction but it really works
>>14440424
OK pick your favorite single weapon design and post it
Here's mine, it's overshadowed by the HML but I've always thought this was one of the best beam rifle designs.

one of the things I learned last time I started one of these was that I needed to start a lot smaller than what I wanted, this is how it starts for me anyway
>>14436072
Isn't that one of the gunpla in the IBO mook? Man, the bar is low.
Started painting my entry for /toy/s group build. Super happy with how the seams on the legs came out.
Also did the bottom of the feet, even though you'll probably never see them.
I really hope this guy wins.
>>14441032
really cool build
>>14440526
probably a tie between this and the ZII's mega beam rifle. I also really like the shot lancer on the crosbone X2
Is there like a list somewhere of confirmed hand grenade kits?
>>14441111
yeah I like those choices
Does anyone know how wide the holes are on the frame arms' frame?
He aint much but here's my first airbrushed kit,
figured I'd start small to get a feel for it without

I really want to try my hand at scratch building weapons and parts, but I see things like this and all I can think is, "how the fuck?"
>>14441443
I think it takes more thinking about the steps rather than any kind of pure skill, anyone can learn to do it with practice. I think the design element is maybe the part that is the hardest to learn.
>>14441007
Looks good. I gave up on my group build project since I can't figure out where I can get the space to spray paint after moving in to a new place with strict land lords. Feels bad man. Anyway, good luck.
The one on the left interests me the most
>>14441489
thats a bit boring
mr. right for me
>>14441489
Middle is obviously barbatos. Left looks like it will possibly be a not!-GM and I want to say that right is a new gundam.
>>14441489
im excited to see what that big circle backpack will be
>>14441158
Almost everything on frame arms are standard 3mm holes. Thats why they're compatable with so much stuff.
So glad I didn't preorder that Max Factory Chamber kit, looks like ass because they made the whole thing a decal fest and fucked up the proportions. All for a measly 9500 yen. I can imagine anyone who received this kit being super disappointed.

>>14441627
You know that's normal, right? Most plamo is expensive as fuck and a huge decalfest.
>>14441627
>made the whole thing a decal fest
you could take one look at this design and know it was going this way
>>14441635
No? Look at the Kotobukiya kits. Hell, even Max Factory's own Dougram kits had better color separation than this half-assed effort, and they were even smaller and cheaper to boot.
This does not bode well for their upcoming Pacific Rim kits.
>>14441649
Look at that Dougram kit which is all fucking flat slabs and shit and then look at Chamber. How would you make that kit without a ton of decals? You can't.
Kotobukiya's kits require tons of detail painting and even then they've gotten better because they prepaint things for you while in the past you just had to do it on your own.
You fail to understand how far plamo has come. If you were a military fag you would have to deal with kits that are all one color, and come with nothing, and don't even have pegs. Chamber is a respectable effort considering the design.
>>14441649
The PR kits are huge and look like they are supposed to look like. It could have no articulation and be made of just two parts for all I care at this point. Just let me preorder one already dammit.
I picked up the Volks 1/100 The Bang kit. Was there anyone else asked to be in a picture with the cashier lady?I declined
so i want a buster gundam with warchine colors opinions?

I'm in Asia and I want to preorder a P-Bandai kit (Impulse Gundam Blanche). Which place is cheapest? Gundam Guy has it, but it'll rape me on shipping.
>>14441786
buy from P bandai itself?
>>14440773
round 2, pretty much the end for the day due to hardening
>>14440067

anyone has a mirror for this?
>>14441813
I apparently need a JP address or something. Sadness.
>>14441859
You can get the torrents here, no registration required.

>>14441871
there's P-Bandai HK too, probably other countries
>>14441871
i was refering to HK but okay
>>14441879
>>14441891
I checked P-Bandai HK and TW as well, but they don't have the Blanche up for preorder yet.
I'll take a look at JP site again and see if I can arrange to have it shipped overseas.
>>14441430
Google "exhentai"+name of of your web-browser
>>14441849
did you cut thin pieces then combine them or were they thicker pieces?
like, say for the handle it'd be four small pieces or one thick one, or did you maybe just take the two thin pieces and stack them on top of each other
Does anyone know where to find that tutorial that was posted a while ago on how to modify the 1/100 barbatos frame to fit the gusion parts onto it?
>>14441627
My main problem with that kit is the HUEG forearms.
>>14440526
Don't have a pic of just the weapon, but my favorite is the GN Sword III.
One thing I love about the design direction of Gundam 00 as a whole, is how everything looks futuristic while still maintaining a believable mechanical and technological look.
I'm not really sure how to articulate this better, but for comparison, most UC designs (to my eyes, at least) look very mechanical and functional, but not exactly futuristic. They look more or less similar to present-day tech.
>>14442660
GN Sword 1 is my favorite. GN Sword III would be it, if it didn't have the glowing green edge.
>>14442314
Mostly thick beams for this to form the core, I have a good sized selection of styrene sizes though. Either way would have worked. This will pretty much all be covered anyway.
>>14436666
I'm considering that game but I assume that there's no free mode where you can customize as much as you want? I assume all designs you can make have to be balanced somehow with what you can attach.
>>14437457
The Impulse torso? Yeah, bit of a bitch. That's the problem with gimmicky MG designs, hard to get them stable and agile sometimes.
>>14440666
But that's a beam spoon
>>14441786
Samueldecal sell HK P-bandai directly from HK so he probably won't shipping rape you
>>14442854
I sent him an email, hopefully it'll work. Thanks for letting me know.

God damn it. I'm one lapse of willpower away from buying an MG Turn A.
You did this to me! You and this whole board!
>>14443815
If this will be your first kit I would advise you to buy some cheap shit to practice on first so you don't drop 40+ dollars on an MG and then fuck it all up.
I suggest the HGUC Revive Guncannon or some IBO Graze or something.
>>14443827
Everyone beggining should just buy a Gyan Revive or two
>>14443827
It'll be my second kit.
First plamo was the koto Metal Gear REX.
Took it nice & slow, had fun and did a good job.
Decide my next MG purchase, please.

if dubs you have to get it
first time here, sorry if this is the wrong place to do it, but I was wondering if anyone has the full image to this
it's called the "high mobility model jahanam gatling pack" and it's from an unused design for G-Reco by Ippei Gyoubu. I know the series isn't popular but I love his designs and would love to be able to see this in full form.
Thank you anon for your time and help.

I have the book. If you wait some hours I can post a photo of the page.
Hey /gpg/ Been nice and busy working on a lot of stuff, and I just started my RG 00Russer, which is the second in a 3 part little project I'm working on. Now, I've run int a little snag. I lost two of the stickers that make little L-shapes on the knees.
Now, due to my autism, I went out and bought some blue paint to try to redo the L-shapes, since I can't access my other paints, and I think I managed to match it well, but what do you think? Should I paint the other leg, or does the paint not clash with the colors of the stickers? The paint is on the right leg, and not the left, the left is just purely stickers.
>>14441849

>>14443274

Yes please! Also could you post the title and the ISBN? I'd love to order the book myself if it's still available online somewhere. Thanks anon.
