***READ THE GUIDE***
For those new to gunpla/plamo or even just new to this thread; please read the guide. Please read it before asking questions as there is a chance it has already been answered there.
For those unfamiliar, "plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model". If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.
If you're new, you're gonna fuck up. Don't worry! If you're experienced, don't make the new people worry!
>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Try being specific, especially about your materials and process. Post pictures whenever possible; even if the kit/part looks bad, you are more likely to get help posting pictures.

Our next Group Build!
Field Repair
Basically what this means is that rather than the mobile suit being fresh out of a factory, it's quite the opposite. Whether it's trudging through dense jungles or dodging debris in asteroid belts, your mobile suit has seen some better days.
You've been out in the field for quite a long time now, nearly half a year of active duty in the front lines and your personal mobile suit's pretty banged up. What's worse is the fact that there isn't a maintenance bay within several thousand kilometers of your local area that's capable of making any major repairs. Your unit's engineering crew has resorted to patch work and jury-rigging to keep your machine operational. Stray fire might have crippled its legs and arms or otherwise dealt considerable damage to a mobile suit's systems meanwhile some units have simply lost bits of armor and panels to the elements and have been forced to patch weld metal sheets over the exposed inner workings.
In any case it's beaten to hell but somehow you and your team have somehow kept it chugging along and now command's ordered all units operating in your theatre to fall back to form a defensive line against the enemy offensive.
Deadline: March 7

Just curious, but is anyone working on this groupbuild? /toy/'s been getting a few WIP Posts for their group build (Which is more of a Group paintscheme than a build) but I haven't really seen anyone here make an attempt at this yet
My old cheap-ass Tamiya files have smoothened out and rusted.
I need a new file (set), what are suggestions that won't quickly smooth and rust that won't destroy my wallet?
I still regret not picking up a bclub zaku I when I had the chance. I've gotten so much better at recasting resin parts now I could have made a whole army of them.
Hard to find these kits now.
What are the differences/pro and cons between using Acrylic or Enamel paints for spraying?
>>13830946
Monoeye suits are the best when they're menacing or creepy, like the Kampfer and the original Zeong.
>>13831057
That's a big model
>Wing Fenice R MG isn't on the restock list
>Not good enough to get MGs yet
Do I get it now and put it in my backlist? I was lucky enough to get at 1/144 Kyrios though.
>>13831341
Just go to Barnes and Noble and get one
>>13831368
Bn sells gundam models?wtf
heres about a years worth of snap faggotry on my part. The re quebeley is pretty great, I just wish its head could tilt down in a more menacing way.

>>13831341

what country do you live in? where i live they're piling up on stores and online in here.

>>13831401
How do people display their Gunpla without:
Dust
Fading
The models falling over if you sneeze in their general direction
>>13831401
What happened to your AT-ST?
>>13831415
Dusting isn't that hard.
>>13831414
There's only two OYW suits there, you faggot.
>>13831410
HLJ has him as "low stock" and local hobby stores are too american to carry gunpla.
>>13831415
>Fading
if your gunpla is fading, you have serious problems on your hands. i have gunpla that have been in direct sunlight for close to a decade with pretty much no color fading at all. Bandai's plastic just doesnt do that, ive only even see it on knock-offs.
Do you think Bandai will make plamo for Delta like they did with Frontier?
>>13831425
yeah, a RX-78 and ugly Origin Char's Zaku, the two most generic OYW suits possible.
>>13831415
>dust
i display them in glass cabinets, and a small cup/shot glass of water inside the cabinet helps prevent dust, although i don't really understand the physics of it.
>fading
could you elaborate more? i haven't had this problem yet. the oldest kit i have so far is an MG F91 Harrison Martin from 2008, and no signs of fading so far.
>The models falling over if you sneeze in their general direction
action base for most balance-challenged kits. teh more sturdier ones won't fall even if i rattle my cabinet violently.
>>13831437
>hating on zaku
>hating on rx-78
Your gruntfaggotry is out of control.
>>13831437
>I don't actually know what generic means.
>>13831429
I don't trust absolutely anything anywhere near sunlight after a few unfortunate incidents I encountered with other models.
>>13831441
Fair enough, what is the cheapest way to display Gunpla in a way I can counter dust, without buying another shitty Detolf.
Considering most of my kits are OYW grunts, a bigger problem is due to how light some of them are, I thought about using a minimal amount of blu-tack.
>>13831429
I can attest to this. Back when I first started collecting the first thing I ever bought was a bootleg Sayaka figure. It started to fade within a few months. Since then I wised up on how to spot bootlegs and all of my figure/ gunpla purchases haven't faded one bit.
>>13831419
It's not actually mine. I have a friend who's all about the Star Wars Legos and I convinced him to give the bandai kits a shot. He has a terrible attention span and has been chipping away at it very slowly. He's been using my tools hence it being in my room atm. To prove to prove I'm not as horrible as that pic makes me look here's a kit I hand painted kind of badly. I used some fucked up old ass primer with a pretty noticeable texture.
>>13829818
>Better then wing
Is that literally the go to defense when your show is shit? In any case Wing blows this show out of the water since shit actually happened in Wing through the first 17 episodes.
>>13831558
put your trip on snapfag
>>13831517
For future reference, you can actually wet sand primer with a super fine grit, which is what car modelers kind of do. If it's not enough you can re-spray and re-sand it to the fineness you want.
OMG
>>13831696
re/100 leo is the only one im interested in desu
but bandai being the cunts they are probably wont make it
>>13831704
If bandai doesn't make it, we'll have to nuke Japan again.
Thinking about cutting up the Hyakkuri backpack so I can fit the Ez-Sr radome in the middle of it and throwing the whole thing on the back of a Graze Kai to make an EWAC Graze.
Yes/no?
>>13831435
I had always assumed so. getting in on the bottom floor this time, Frontier kits are nigh impossible to get a hold of under MSRP and there doesn't seem to be reprints, I thank my lucky star I could find a Armored Messiah in Akihabara this summer
>>13831588
>>13831696
All of this shit posting yet Snapfit gets hated on...
>>13831799
Turn your trip back on.
>>13831799
holy shit that's a lot of shitposting.
>>13831814
I see those manipulated pixels.
>>13831814
You know, the only thing that actually pisses me off about your builds is that you're too fucking dumb to cut the blocks off your v-fins.
>>13831814
nice you can press f12 and remove the (you) in the HTML
>>13831837
nice meme
>>13831415
adults have display cases
kids put them haphazardly on their bookshelves and lose everything and get them covered in dust
>>13831755
don't you mutilate hyakuri for a plan you haven't thought out nor have the ability to execute
>>13831883
Because Hyakkuri are so expensive, right?
>>13831884
no it's the PRINCIPLE
>>13831890
>Principle Hyakkuri
Does that make Hyakuren the Vice Principle?
>>13831837
we do. stop being a whiny bitch about not having any friends besides that one that drew that super fucking gay fan art of you two. i literally can't understand how you still post here after that was posted.
>>13831895
he would be the princiPAL
This looks bad to me.
>>13831907
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm a dolt.
Excuse me while I go eat a bag of dicks.
>>13831909
That's the revive gouf, right? I don't really like the elephant nose, but I'm more worried about the leg dexterity being limited by the hoses overlapping the front skirt armor. It was pretty lousy on the proto-gouf kit.
>>13831909
Well given that the original animation version was wonky as fuck, I'm not surprised
With that said, do we really need another Gouf?
>>13831909
god you ARE the worst
>>13831920
a 2.0 on the Gouf Custom sure. though the 2.0 is perfect for A and B models.
>>13831949
>Gouf Custom 2.0 with frame and can actually hold a gatling shield
Take my money, Bandai.
With that being said, are there any new MG or RGs on the horizon? News on this stuff is hard as hell to find.
>>13831926
I take comfort in the fact that he's mad as hell that he can't shitpost in the /toy/ thread
>>13831909
Can someone explain to me why this comes with 2 heat sabers? The older one had at least a 120mm machine gun
>>13831962
I think one is longer than the other
Does anyone remember Snapkun's first post? what propagated his madness? I don't remember
>>13831909
>>13831976
you plebs are just used to the gouf custom proportions
>>13831979
no one cares put your trip back on
>you agree with the spammer
I like goufs, but this one just looks kinda bad. Too simple maybe.
>>13831962
>>13831969
>>13830559
Damn late, but the pseudonym was referring to my mistake of using my real name for the GP Base insert, thus I can't post pics without editing it to be illegible first.
Now, how can I get better at gunpla if I don't take chances and try things?
>>13832038
I don't know anon, how can you be straight if you keep shoving dicks up your ass?
>>13832072
Who said I was straight?
>>13832075
>I can't comprehend normal speech
stick to A/Z
>>13832088
Okay, well, apparently we're not being supportive right now.
>>13831962
Because its probably using the frame of ral 35 gouf? one for left one for right hand.
I'm airbrushing a mr hobby lacquer gloss coat and am getting frosting effects. Aside from the weather (today is a nice not too hot or cold day) what else can cause frosting? I have already washed the pieces with detergent and water prior to prime.
>>13832181
Spraying from too far away will cause frosting too
>Kyrios and Harute gets restocked YET again
what the actual fuck
>>13831962
It's because it reuses the runners from the Gouf R35. That's all it is.
Is there much difference between the X1 and the Full Cloth besides the extras? i see more people say X1 is fine where as Full Cloth is a nightmare
>>13832458
FC doesn't come with the anti-beam cloak.
>>13831955
Quanta is the next RG but we don't know beyond that (Which is typical of RG releases). MG has the Freedom coming up and at some point this year we are supposed to be getting Thunderbolt MG.
>>13832207
Why are the F90 designs pure sex?
>>13832488
oh wait, this was SF91 but still, msv from f91 era was the best.
>>13832467
yeah i'm not sure how to handle that without it looking shit, something to weigh it down and look weathered?
>>13832196
>Harute is sold out already
>1/100 NGs will never get a restock
At least I was lucky enough to get a Kyrios.
>re/100 Leo will never happen
;_;
>>13832465
Nobody wants to be your nigga
White Ogre Zaku 2.0 MG is good, yes? It will be my first MG.
>>13832606
exact same as any Zaku 2.0 just white and some unique decals i think.
only issue is if you want him to look like he did in Igloo your going to have to do some weathering
>>13832615
It's doesn't come weathered?
>>13832606
It's very good.
Prepare your butt for those power cable tubes though.
>>13832615
Thanks. I already knew about the weathering.
>>13832606
Zaku 2.0s are always good. It's basically a white Zaku 2 J with a spare bazooka magazine accessory on it's hip.
>>13832488
SF91 kits are great, really busy and detailed designs but the colors seem to flow together well. they took the best parts of the F91 era then riced them up before everything got stripped back down to the basics for Victory. i still want to get a RXF-91 Kai to go with this thing at some point.
>>13832626
the cords are the worst, but look at that range of motion
is there ever site wide sales on Amiami or is always just watching each model and hoping they go down eventually?
Question to my fellow /m/exibros, CDMX anon and Beamknight87.
How do you guys display your models/protect them from dust? Do you have any display cases?
Any recommendations on where to buy one?
>>13832830
I have not bought a display case yet, but I try to dust them once in a month or so
I would actually appreciate if someone else could provide with some suggestions on this issue
>>13832836
We're in the same situation, then.
I've looked for ways to get a Detolf, but all I've found was guys selling Detolfs onmercadolibrefor like 5k pesos.
Fucking jews.
>>13832836
X1 model with some of Full Cloths decals?
>>13832842
travelling around near Toluca I've seen some 2nd hand stores that often sell those display cases they use in the telcel shops to display their shiny new smartphones for around 2.5k or 3k pesos
doesn't seem too bad, problem is I have no means to transport them when I see them
>>13832843
yes, I ditched the full cloth armor entirely after hearing how a fucking nightmare it was
base crossbone is really nice
>>13832848
Actually, searching again, thishttp://articulo.mercadolibre.com.mx/MLM-538866058-vitrina-exhibidor-o-aparador-de-acrilico-cristal-de-3mm-_JMlooks kind of promising.
Might as well ask how many thousand pesos I'd need for the shipping.
>>13832848
did you ever try the Anti-beam cloth? with that detail i'd like to see if you tried that.
i'm thinking of cutting a hole in the back so i can still have the X thrusters out
Why are Knights of Sidonia kits so expensive? The cheapest I've seen is 50 USD.
And why is there no Virgo kit from Gundam Wing?
Gunpla is suffering.
>>13832875

Is it just me or does the V fin for the new mg freedom look a little weird
>>13832972
It's a bit wibbly wobbly on this one.
Though that one is also covered in hairs like crazy.
>>13832972
Maybe it's just this angle, but it looks to me like it curves backwards before jutting forwards again, like bird wing.
>>13832537
>hitop sneakers leo
>>13832622
..why would it
>>13832972
I thought someone bent it accidentally while building
>>13831696
>>13831704
Hopefully it has decent articulation and isn't made a brick by the armor, considering how the articulation on the 1/144 MC is already fucking crazy
HGUC Jegan. I wanted it so bad but I'm bored of it already.
>>13833231
U didn't even paint it and shit
Git gud
Ugh, I bought the Origin Zaku Hi Mobility because it had Char's Zaku weapons...but now I kind of want Char's Zaku....
>>13833246
So buy Char's Zaku then.
>>13833250
But I don't need 500 zakus
>>13833253
Just make Char's Zaku your team leader and pose them in formation.
>>13833257
But my team consists of a custom Marasai, Zaku II F2, and soon to be the Hi Mo
>>13833246
paint it red?
>>13833253

thats because you cant /intogrunts/ i have the anti ship jegan on the way and it looks solid.
do you have the G self 1/48 stand?
need one of these

Waffe a cute.
aww yeah
144 origin zaku I coming soon
>>13833376
Oh, a Zaku, an Origin Zaku, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
What could be more exciting
>>13833404
>>13833376
>more zeon
WHERE'S MY FUCKING GM? WHAT WAS THE LAST TIME WE GOT ANY FEDDIE GRUNT SUIT BANDAI?
>>13833421
they will probably do a revive GM 144 soon
>>13833376
>>13833383
Pretty cool looking and I've been meaning to pick up a Zaku I for a while.
Now for a Origin GM or Zeong revive...
>>13833231
better sink more money into your shitfest plastic action figure collection then!
>>13833421Hopefully
>>13833421
Servers you right, feddie scum.
>>13833376
Fuck yeah, I've had a Zaku I kitbash idea for a while now and was going to use the thunderbolt Zaku I as the base for it but now that I don't have to deal with that large backpack it will be much easier. I'm hyped as fuck.
>>13833404
It's sad because just before they started making revives they came out with the ZII.
found this gem sifting through mandarake
>>13833421
The 200th HG is going to be the GM Revive
Believe it.
>>13832906
where you normal get the LE FAGs?
>>13833376
Anyone bother counting how many of those damn things we've gotten through Origin? In fact, have we gotten anything from Origin's line that's not a Zaku, apart from the Mobile Worker and the MP Guntank?
>>13833523
Char Zaku 2, Hi Mobility Black Tri Stars Zaku 2, Zaku 1, Waffe, Proto Gouf, Proto Dom which is part Zaku, presumably Zanny which is part Zaku, Mobile Worker, Guntank, and we'll probably get a regular Origin Zaku 2 eventually.
So that's 8 Zakus and Zaku-likes.
>>13833529
Or seven. I can't count.
>>13833376
Based, thank you deikun
>>13833523
Origin deals mainly with the start of zeon so naturally its mostly zeon suits
Working on my posing. The base Destroy Mode Unicorn bothers me because of the rear skirts don't fit perfectly. I guess I'll glue them in someday.
Wait a fucking moment
The HG Gusion Rebake doesn't come with the halberd (checked on Dalong)
That's kinda bullshit

Do I need actual sandpaper to get rid of nubs properly or what?
>>13832906
I pre-ordered a Materia
>>13833717
I use 500 grit for removing plastic, 1000 for leveling it out, and then 1500-2000 for polishing, then buff it smooth with a felt cloth

Well this is weird, I actually started getting that problem people get with the HGUC Sazabi's right leg. It started popping off really easily. I took it apart and re-adjusted the polycap so maybe it will hold better.
>That split magazine
You really hate gunpla, huh
Hey guys, what would you guys recommend as the best gun for painting? I don't care about price, so I don't mind spending a pretty penny, obviously don't want to go buying some $4000 insanity machine though.
>>13834246
>the best gun for painting
I just imagined someone putting a paint bottle in front of a gunpla and shooting it.
>>13834263
How about loading a water gun withproperly thinnedpaint?

>Well this is weird, I actually started getting that problem people get with the HGUC Sazabi's right leg. It started popping off really easily. I took it apart and re-adjusted the polycap so maybe it will hold better.
UPDATE: So what I ended up doing was swapping the polycap for the same one on my Jegan and holy cow was that polycap stretchedthe fuckout. It isn't, however, nearly as loose on my Jegan. I can't understand how that problem developed on the Sazabi. The poly-cap from the Jegan fit in snug while it was hard to put the same polycap from the Sazabi back into the socket. Strange.

News to me.
Good thing this means rerelease soon, and I have chance to finally get mine.
I had it back-ordered for two years at HLJ.
>>13833231
you probably wouldn't be so bored if you actually learn how to clean up nubs or do panel lines or top-coat, etc. but instead you ruin a jegan and post about it, like this general is ur personal diary. see thats why everyone hates you, everyone
>>13833421
Derringer said GMs sell poorly, don't bother him about it.
>>13833627
this kit is perfect for you because its the perfect color to optimally showcase all of its nubs
>>13832830
I display them in my desktop since I recently started with the hobby I have only 3 kits on display, I dust them with make up brushes a tip I got from the /buyfag/ thread so you can look up into that.
As for displays, you can check vidrierias or stores that sell vitrinas for tiendas and stuff, they will be expensive but you can design your own, if you want something prebuild you can check idea interior or similar stores near where you are.
>>13834465
The only store kind of like Idea Interior is Home Depot and there's nothing useful in there.
Fuck living in a peninsula.
>>13834475
Yucatan or baja?
I liked the mercadolibre one and says 250 pesos with fedex shipment. Living in Mexico really is a pain in the ass for this type of hobby.
>>13834487
Baja. Sur, on top of that.
20 cm per level sounds like too little for MGs, though.
>>13833404
the original zaku hg was meh, I want more msv stuff myself but at least this is a decent looking representation now.
So i just bought a bottle of Mr. Surfacer. Do i need to thin it down like paint before spraying it?
>>13834310
Re-release for Dynames and Virtue, when?
I should add, the HGUC Nu has quite the sabre.
Aaand if you're still debating the HGUC Nu, it doesn't tilt(as much) on an action base 2. It actually weighs the entire action base rod to the side the funnels are on, but it's alright!
![453534[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Uie8Dlz.jpg "453534[1].jpg")
So will we ever get Assault or Buster Master Grades?
Is the MG line really dead?
Will the shit posting ever stop?
>>13834758
Awesome job! Keep up the good work!!
>>13834769
The shit posting will stop when it stops getting attention, or the posts get deleted consistently.
As for the MG line, it's either going to have to take a risk, or just mindlessly rehash shit.
>>13834772
>Awesome job! Keep up the good work!!
Aaaand here is the HWS. You have to shrink the action base 2 to its shortest setting to keep it from tipping.
>>13833753
Any dates?
>>13834769
If there will be a MG V2AB that would probably on P-bandai.
Which pretty much means they think no one is buying MG kits and just throw like 75% MG kits of year on PB for those who'd buy it.
Also I think they are trying to replace MG with RE for cost down.
Anyone got this guy? I've been thinking about it for a while.
I'm gonna cancel my HG Kyrios order because I've read some bad things about it.
>>13834937
Don't have that one, but I do have the HG Overflag. The Brave's construction/engineering seems to be very similar, so it'll most likely be fragile.
somebody comment on my posing. i wanna know how good or bad it is.

I have one of those, they're fun, but a lot of their joints aren't polycapped as Bandai's too cheap to develope an additional set for the few slim designs they got in their lineup.

>>13834994
Thanks for the reply but I was too slow canceling the Kyrios so I'm stuck with it. I guess I can use it as paint fodder though.
>>13834988
The MkII's pose looks kinda forced
Try angling the feet/legs so they're not parallel to each other, and turn the arm around a bit so it's facing more towards the front instead of to the side
Does anyone have experience with Hobbyzones racks ? I need to sort my workplace chaos but i just cant find some sort of rack for Tamiya Paints. The fucking 23ml bottles have such a uncommon diameter that non of the stuff i found fits. I contacted Hobbyzone and they told me that their 36mm racks would fit but im not so sure.
>>13835024
like this?
>>13835044
Yeah, that looks a lot better in my opinion
>>13835046
alright thanks. are the others are fine?
How do you guys prepare your gunpla for a move?
I'm moving in a few months, and have begun packing up non-essentials to ease the move. My built gunpla are next on the list to be boxed up. I figure I would disassemble some of each kit, the more delicate pieces, and bag those up separately. Any other ideas?
>>13835051
The Zaku looks good, and the RX-78 is nice too although something feels a bit off, I can't really tell what it is
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out what the Gouf is doing though
>>13835040
You could make such a rack yourself from some cardstock, would probably cost around five dollars that way if you can grab bits and pieces from a local craft supply store.
>>13835075
i gave him a pose like this since he knows mobile suit martial arts.
>>13834988
The gouf looks really bad, what probably sticks out most to me is how awkward the whip looks with the posing.
>>13835075
and i think the problem with that version of the rx 78 is that the waist flaps dont fold independently. its one piece of plastic that moves at one angle.
>>13835102
You could try bending the knees a bit, as if he's trying to lower his center of mass
And as >>13835120 said the outstretched whip does look kind of weird with a kung fu fighter pose
Maybe straighten the whip arm so it looks like he's striking?
>>13835120
i couldnt really think of unique way to use the whip so i tried my best.
>>13834812
date is the number beside the yen price
>>13835102
Angle the torso a bit if you can. Try putting it into a slight lean with the back leg supporting it.
>>13835126
You could try something like this if you want to make them move independently

>>13835142
is this better?
finished painting my jesta, can't decide if I should weather it or not.
>wanna ship everything from my HLJ private warehouse
>have a Gaplant, Jegan ECOAS, Zeek mk. III, UC Nemo, and a GP Build Custom Base (all HGUC except for the Base) that have been sitting for ~1 month now
>FedEx is the only option

Why must being poor be such suffering?
>>13835167
A lot better
I feel like it'd be even better if the whip was pointed where the Gouf is looking
>>13835147
its fine im planning on replacing it anyways with the rg version or the gundam rising version when that comes out. i dont really like the look of it since it looks too much like a toy and the beam saber lengths are retarded..
>>13835186
good idea. and thanks again.
>>13835180
How is FedEx your only option? Yurocuck?
>>13835180
You can jusy combine each into smaller shipments that qualify for less expensive shipping methods. Say, instead of throwing everything into one shipment, split everything into groups of two to four per shipment..
Everyone post their coolest poses go
>>13835420
>tfw suck at posing
The link in the guide didnt help
>>13835420
More
>>13835436
Just look up pictures online and copy them. Box arts and manuals are good sources too.
>>13835420
>>13835482
The option on the right would be extremely powerful.
>>13835482
uplift of Guntank comes to life
>>13835488
Don't forget to add a Guncannon arm for max manhandling.

I hope you like upskirt shots.

this one is a classic although the hands are super shitty
>>13835586
Nice. Is this MG RM or RG?
>>13834937
I bought it cuz i really liked the design but the kit is very small and a bit plain, could use a lot more detail/color separation. otherwise its pretty solid and has decent atriculation
>>13835637
MG from dragon momoko
>>13832972
WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA
>>13835420
>>13835420
Before I buy one, how are RGs in terms of build quality? Do they need seam-welding like the HGs do, or would I be fine at just detailing and decaling and touching up nubs?
>>13835651
I've got one theory
>>13835420
>>13835653
this is a lovely pic and i love the astrea but theres a very noticeable nub that is really bugging me
>>13835659
Detaling and touching up and you'll be fine. RGs don't need seam welding because of how they're constructed.
Look at Dalong for god's sake man.
>>13835651
I like it. Gives a nice touch of unique aesthetic on a generic feature of a generic Gundam.
>>13835420
>>13835260
Marylandfag, actually.
>>13835272
Would probably rape my wallet even more if I went that route.
>>13835653
this one isn't too dynamic but i liked this shot I took when I was working on my ECOAS Jegan.
>>13835668
well can you tell me where it is so I can fix it, because I thought I had removed all of them
>>13835657
I want an MG GM, but they are always sold out everywhere.
Any places I can get one without paying a PG's worth of shekels?
>>13835740
and here's my last favorite pose that I have a picture of.
>>13835420
>>13835420
This might be my coolest pose... because I haven't touched it in forever.
>>13835420
easy
>>13835788
Dust that shit, nigga
>>13835764
You might have been the only one to have bought the Travis Touchdown ZII
