Gunpla/Plamo Secret Santa!

Sign ups run until December 4th. I'll try to have everyone paired up by December 6th.

Like last year, I'm going to have everyone fill out a Google form so I can collect the information easily.

Also, if you have some kits in your backlog that you are willing to part with feel free to email me a list and estimated values.

Ok so I finally got started on my Late UC Unicorn, as in I wanted it to resemble the silver Phenex from the G-Reco OVA, and I was wondering if decals would make sense or if they'd even show up over the dark silver color I had planned. Obviously white waterslides/decals would show up but it would probably just contrast too much.
Also would a lighter silver work to replace the yellow in the v-fin? If not should I keep it yellow or match the rest of the armor?
>>
>>5297782
For the fin, paint it to be a metallic gold colour which will stand out against the silvers.

They're fun, but it's all plastic-on plastic, so the limbs are a pain to move and poseability of the classic Hoihoi is pretty limited due to the plastic skirt.

Long story short, there was a terrible trip who did a couple of horrendous builds, spammed his images, and wouldn't take any advice. Eventually everybody got fed up with him and called us all fags and ran off to a circlejerk forum. There he made even more terrible builds and even offered to do commisions.

Richigo, I still think you should say those bits on the end of his shield are missile warheads, so he can punch with the shield and have an explosive impact.

Or like, instead of calling them "missile warheads" you could say they're "Impact Blast Caps" or something techno sounding like that.

Mechatro WeGo is an original design from this one scifi designer guy that got popular (Backstory is supposed to be that its some robot transport for children that basically works like a combination of a claw game and a Segway).

The company making them got the Nichijou artist to do some promotional and box art for them and they decided to do a Nichijou version because of it.

Basically it's almost entirely unrelated to the series itself, it's just a cool crossover/tie-in.

The /m/ gunpla thread seems to be dead, so I'll ask you guys.

Is there any reason to not use citadel paints for handpainting gunpla?
>>
>>5298919
>Is there any reason to not use citadel paints for handpainting gunpla?

Citadel are made for handbrushing. It's airbrushing that they are finicky with.

The main reason not to get them is that they tend to be a bit more expensive than similar quality stuff like pretty much all citadel products.
>>
>>5298919
They're overpriced and you're putting money in to the pockets of one of the worst companies ever. GW is to modeling as EA is to gaming.
>>
>>5298927
>>5298924
I already have them, so the price thing is a non-issue. What brand would you guys recommend as a replacement?
>>
>>5298939
Vallejo. Better quality for most of their paints, better price, and they come in a nice dropper bottle. Their metallics are a bit lacking though.
>>
>>5298939
Plamouk have a nice but limited range, Vallejo and mig are the most common alternatives
>>
>>5298948
They seem to be mainly military colors. I think my hobby shop sells that brand though, so I'll see how vibrant the spectrum gets

>>5298990
Depends on what look you're trying to achieve with the drybrush

>>5298990

acrylic. oil or enamel or anything that takes longer than 5 mins to touch dry is useless for drybrushing.

Don't wanna overdo it so I'll stop for now. Not perfect, but I like it. Better than the Aile Strike from last thread at least.

First type of weathering I've tried, but, although I like it enough, I don't think I'll use this method on customs. Next thing I'll try is using the sponge. What I really wanna do is have the "scraped metal" effect under white paint, but that seems pretty intricate.

Why would they do a Revive of a kit that just came out, what, 2 years ago?

>but still be funny if they made it under the 0079 line instead of unicorn
The Unicorn one is pretty much already in the 0079 colors

I think it'll be the Zeta. It's a popular, classic design. They'll probably try to give it a full transformation and have that as the big selling point.

Really wish there was a better photo of the #200 display. Bandai has displayed prototypes like that before and we've been able to figure out the designs easily.

Doesn't look fat enough to be a Gogg.

>no idea if the engineering was terrible
The 2000 Gogg is really similar to the Z'Gok in engineering. They're both great for being 15+ years old. They're also definitely solid candidates for a Revive considering their age.

It's because one of the shitposters is a janitor now

He's trying to push Gunpla off 4Chan entirely for some reason
>>
>>5299629
Snapfagget said he was hoping for his application to be accepted. So yea thats unfortunate he bought all g-reco just tk "take" gunpla off 4chan. Prolly thinks hes the gunpla version of quinn

>>5299628
If its zeta all i have to say is "muh dick" i love zeta types
>>
>>5299628
>Doesn't look fat enough to be a Gogg.

Maybe that's part of the updated proportions? They slimmed down the RX-78-2 and Guncannon I think. Bandai might be putting all new gunpla on a diet

>no Guntank Revive

come on Bandai, that's all that's needed to finish the 0079 White Base MS Team

Well, now we know that at least one mod has seen it. If nothing happens now, it's willful ignorance.

Anyway, enough of that.

Been putting together the Hyakuren. Shoulders feel like they'll need a bit of manipulating in order to get the full articulation out of the arm while posing since they obstruct it a lot, but the base articulation is quite good. IBO kits are very fun to build.

Speaking of stuff from that expo, I'm almost certain that this is a Zanny. It fits the waist, arms, probably shoulders, and mostly the legs, and it fits the prototype fixation that the MSD series has been focusing on.

They've run out of Zeon prototypes to milk, it has to be a fed.

After topcoating in Tamiya Flat TS-80, I'm just barely dipping a small brush (3/0 Round) into some Enamel Aluminum paint and applying it to the edges of the kit. I'm by no means an expert as you can tell, but that's the jist of this enamel chipping technique. Depending on the color of the suit, you can use different colors and different ways of applying the paint.

I got Gelgoog on sale at HLJ to go with my Revive Rx78-2. Unfortunately I fucked up the Gundam when topcoating, and Gelgoog here isn't exactly stellar either. I'm still learning.
>>
>>5299739
I'm not a fan of the IBO designs that have been made into kits so far (besides Barbatos) but they seem like damn good kits. Aside from the Gusion or whatever, though, the future kits all look awesome. Especially that unnamed one.

I enjoy symmetry. Heat of the moment ideas, also. You tend to do whatever pops into your head to see how it looks.

Well, I've never been keen on thinking about physics in terms of models. I'll keep that in mind and maybe just sand down the hole slots and cut a new hole for one drill to fit into.

Alternatively, it's a giant robot so it could probably defy conventional logic we use. I'm not going super robot or anything, but Gundam has rarely held true to real life.

Can't remember if it was in /m/ or here, but I caved in and got kampfer, he looks pretty sweet. I plan to get the zudah next and add to the list of zeon suits, since I only got 4 amongst the many feddie suits.

Going to finish the rest of the panel lining and decals tomorrow. Since the kampfer is not complete without the yellow on the gorillion thrusters it has, it looks like I am going to have to bite the rag and go and paint them too.

Started on the feet as they're obviously going to take a pounding. Looks very stark now but I'm going to put a filter or two over them and hopefully get it to blend in more, failing that I'll just attack it with pigments and a dust coat.

Also did all the staining on the thruster bells.

The forearms don't like to close all the way. Otherwise it's great. It comes with a ton of weapons and if you are just going for how it appeared in the show then you will have a bunch leftover for kitbashing.

His limbs and weapons are also great for kitbashing onto other kits. Its just a shame that there's no chest gattlings like on the original Leopard.
