For those unfamiliar, "Plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model." If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.

Hard goings, I tell ya. I love the kit, but the miniature parts of it are probably gonna look like someone else made them when I'm done.

>>5641436
Getting there, that's for sure. Wish they would stock P-bandai stuff as well or get a deal with bandai on it, that would make my day.
>>5641465
Ask Bluefin for that, they stock Gunpla in North America, though I've heard they've been trying and must not have had any luck yet
>>5641485
that's not even true though
>>5641485
Maybe some are and some aren't. The discrepancy in build qualities of the models in different stores are just too big.
>>5641366

>>5641490
Several models are sent prebuilt to them by this one modeling group. A couple are usually done by store employees though.
Daughtress Custom and another 1/60 Shining Gundam in stock at Mandarake for anyone interested.
So think there will be a no grade 1/60 or megascale barbatos and Graze?
"Just a quick, simple HG build" I told myself, 4 months later I'm finally done, thanks in part to finding more time and winter fucking off.
Super simple build, seams removed, panel lined with this green dry erase marker I had laying around, and top coated. I took a chance and top coated the clear parts and I'm glad I did, works beautifully for these "silver sticker behind clear parts" type deal. Instead of only working from one angle the frosted clear parts scatter light and glow from every angle and don't look as plastic as clean ones.
Thanks again to my secret santa from last xmas for getting me this kit, I'll get to building Asshimar eventually.

Does anyone have a pic of what Alclad II Black Chrome actually looks like? Googling just gives me pics of the bottle and a bunch of pics of Regular Chrome or Gloss Black painted kits.
>>5641978
Probably not a megascale, but I wouldn't be too surprised if at least the Barbatos gets a 1/60 NG, wouldn't count on the Graze as much.
IBO is getting alot of merch so something like a 1/60 NG is more likely in the realm of possibility. I think it would depend on how their western push goes I think.
>>5642087
It sounds odd, but I think a PG is more likely than a NG 1/60 for Barbatos. Unicorn showed that the line wasn't dead yet, there's been a couple of P-bandai PG the past several years as well, Barbatos's kits sell well and are popular among modelers (Especially customizers), and it has a lot of P-bandai variant and add-on potential with all of its forms and equipment.
Finished stylet, commencing lewds
So how popular is the Graze, or IBO in general for models?
>>5642090
Wouldn't surprise me as well, given the push it seems to be getting, but then again the hi-res may have been their flashy expensive kit for the show or atleast season 1.
>>5642095

Anybody have guidelines for shipping bulk orders from HLJ into new Zealand? namely regarding taxes.
>>5642102
Huh, I thought posting was broken since my phone refused to load captcha, but I guess I was wrong.
Anyway, I wanted to ask, could you give me some measurements since you've already done it?
I need:
>horizontal distance from base of neck to the entrance of the shoulder hardpoint(ie the end of the blue piece)
>vertical height from center of hardpoint to base of neck
>length of the grey leg hardpoints
Arm position like the right arm in your pic
>>5642199
I forgot to mention, in cm please. I dont need extremely precise measurements either, just eyeball it with a ruler or something.
Thinking of slapping montero's wing shoulders and the overflag's engine pods on mine
And here is the Vehicle model X-wing
Plenty of details. Most of the time will be spent on applying the stickers.
The stickers are great, but there are number of panels under the stickers so those detail will be covered.
For those who want to paint the thing. Good luck, the panels you have to paint over all really tiny.
Finally the weather was good enough to top coat Char's Z'Gok and put it together (those damn rubber thingswould have been a hassle to mask if I put it together ahead of time)

So I can get a 3rd party set of the HG customize 2014 pieces for 20$. Dose anyone know of somewhere selling the 2015 as a set that's not going to cost me 60$.
Also hoping for a 2016 HG customize Campaign
I've finally begun on my space pod crab.
>>5642819
I've had my eye on that kit for a while, how do you like it so far?
I want to buy a kit but just use a coat top to give a shine to the kit, how would I go about this?
>>5642999
paint not buy
Also would is there a way to avoid using primer? Are there gloss coats that can just stick to the plastic?
Really new at paints.
>>5643001
well some spraypaints give a gloss finish, i'm sure many car models have sprays for that, and I want to say krylon does it, but the people here seem to hate krylon, but I love the stuff
>>5643037
wouldn't "if not sprayed right" be better for the more experienced user who knows what they're doing and won't frost it, compared to a beginner who will most likely frost it? I've had zero problems with it on everything from warhammer to historicals, spraying in my dusty basement in the winter
>>5643063
It affects bith beginners and experienced paiters. And with rattlecams, you gotta spray it from a certain distance, shake it really good and check humidity before spraying, and even then you can still risk overspray or frosting.
Then again this is based of preferences. I used to use krylons but stopped and switched to airbrushing.
hey guys do the mc dragon momoko work as good replacements for the Sazabi ver ka's hands?
>>5642856
I think its looked cool since i first saw it, thing line up well, needs some paint, theres a bit of trimming involved but its minimal, plus you get two of them, so I'm painting the second one fully.
>really love the Delta Plus design
>all kits available for it are terrible
I want to get the MG but every review of it makes it seem like the worst kit in the universe
>>5643489
I've got the MG, but I'm expecting it to over all be pretty meh. I'm just going to make it sand there and look cool honestly.
>>5643497
I hope you're putting it on an action base because standing by itself is one of the things it's bad at apparently
>>5643489
What's wrong with the HGUC?
>>5643489
MG Delta Plus is fine. I dont get why everyone says it's shit.
Syd is just a pleb fuck who doesnt know how to balance a kit for shit.
>gunpla reviews
>gunpla community
disgusting
you need a magnifying glass for this shit
>>5643721
I honestly have never had the standing/balancing issue with it. Maybe BANDAI re-engineered it? (doubt it)
I honestly dreaded building it as well because of all these supposed issues. I have an Action Base anyway, so who cares, but it stood fine for me every time. I get annoyed more with the damn rifle not being held properly.
I'll try to take a vid / pictures when I get home. 4 more hours at work.
>>5643729
thanks friend, I really want to like the kit just for it's design but if I need to put in a lot of work I won't feel bad skipping it.

When do the release schedules get posted?
Current wip of the SPL 1/100 Mobius Zero release. A few fitting issues with it that aren't surprising, and everything so far has been fixable by either sanding down or going back later to glue pieces in. Plastic could be better but I was never expecting bandai grade anyway. I'm enjoying it so far.
>>5644629
Fuck that. Give me a 1/35 in the same vein as their UC hardgraph line. I'll even take one without interior detail and do it myself if they just give me the rest.
>>5639639
Yeah I've airbrushed it before once, went down good and solid.
If you want to write it down (because I don't know if they still print it on the thinner bottles), here are Testor's recommended paint:thinner ratios:
Gloss
paint 3:2 thinner
Flat
paint 3:1 thinner
Why they changed it I can't say, people just liked it better that way.
>>5639639
I've sprayed model masters which they also make and it's nice, haven't sprayed the square bottle stuff though
I have a question about Mr.supercleat coat
Should I just spray the entire assembled kit or should I take the kit apart and spray them individually?
>>5645424
Cool, looking forward to seeing it completed
thinking of modding qubeley's head with some fire star stories elements.
what do you guys think?
Any one know where to find decals for a 1/144 VF-1 Valkyrie?
I've got a Revell F-14A tomcat I wanna build with Valkyrie markings on it but cant find any.
Or if there are some good quality scans of the decals from the Hasegawa 1/72 Valkyrie, I'll just resize them and print my own.

Shit ain't an RG nor a ver ka.
Pretty neat full inner-frame for a 1/144 though.
Seems to be better than IBOs.
Is it at least less prone to spontaneously combust like the RG?
Does it live up to the ver ka name decal-wise and leg for days?
Does it comes with the javelin and shit?
I'm thinking of painting my Geara Zulu white with black and red like this. Should I use white primer or grey primer anons?
>>5646149
thanks for letting me know.
this will be my first rx-78 kit.
wanted the origin gundam but turned it down for the turn-x.
>Since a 2.0 of any other GM is pretty much impossible I should build one of those earlier GM kits.
yeah their using the old gm mold for the powered ver. . so yeah it is better to just get the old ones.
>>5646161
Of course I don't know if the FAG will actually use polycaps so just wait for a review first.
>>5646163
wait... no, i asked about the mg origins and 2.0 gundam in which you answered with a yes they do and i said thanks.
i'm just saying that i'm still getting it and that this will be my first rx-78 mg is all.
>>5646153
White primer if you want your whites to look white
Also lighten the black and mute the red color a bit. Maybe one more tone variation would help

Early diorama WIP
Practicing doing all the lines and what have you, seems to be going alright?
How do people do stuff like the eye with pens and not stickers though? Seems like magic to me at this point.
Will waterslide decal silvering be removed with matte clear coats?
>>5646722
For that specific kit, what I would do is cut off a very thin pice of clear pink runner and the cut and trim it into 3 small triangles.
For other monoeye's a regular thin cut of clear runner with some silver painted on the back make for much easier and better looking monoeye's than freehand painting them.
>>5646753
I see! Thanks for the info. I will keep those tips in mind and maybe give it a shot.
>>5646722
You know what is magic? This fucking product:

>>5647233

yeah i figured it was that disney embargo thing. But, plamoya never stopped selling the starwars bandai kits when all the others did, strange they dont stock them.
Took me a two months to finish basic construction and some panel lining on the Nu ver. Ka, not sure if I want to do more panel lining or leave as is and start working on the weapons and shield.
Really dreading the water slide decals tbqh
>>5647349

that doesnt have anything to do with plamoya who were never under disney's embargo and are still selling bandai star wars kits outside of japan to this day.
>>5647904
The way they came down was half-assed, they mostly went after the big name resellers like HLJ and 1999.co, the small fish aren't gonna suffer, because Revell doesn't notice or whine about them.
>>5647904
The Crackdown mostly only hit the big name distributors. Smaller stores Bandai conveniently overlooked because they weren't big enough to bother with and continue to sell them.
TECHNICALLY they are not supposed to, but nobody gives enough of a shit about them to do anything about it.
>>5647690
>Wait, there's a Bandai Star Destroyer?
only a tiny kit so far. STILL no word on when or if were finally getting the 1/1700th kit with full led rig they showed off at Tokyo toy show 2014 when they first showed their star wars kits.
>>5647914
Goddamnit I want this so fucking Much.
>>5647893
It's gold-orange. I hadn't planned on doing much else to the gun. It was intended to be balance out the purple on the shield.
I definitely do need to do something about those backpack pieces though. For some reason the panels themselves turned out OK but the little fin parts that conceal the beam sabers are not cooperating. May need to strip and start over on those
>>5647914
>Goddamnit I want this so fucking Much.

Yes, he has assembled the two kits that will be featured in the diorama and has selected the poses he wants them in.
EARLY work-in-progress.
>>5647763
Yeah, some douches have been trolling the fuck out of folks here over the most pointless things.
Still can't believe I got suckered into a fit over a few fucking tiny smudges of all things.
And the other day they pointed out a barely-noticeable-unless-under-a-magnifying-glass misalignment on someone's custom rifle barrel.
>>5648029
Dude its literally 2 posed kits
This is a diorama wip
>>5647996
Are they snapfit?
>>5647784
Did you paint that blue dom or is that the plastic color? Looks nice.
>>5648043
Thats one of the things Ii wanted to know, it looks like at least some parts are snap fit but it sayd cement is required on the page.
>>5648029
your painting is pretty messy
if you don't have a steady hand, invest in masking tape
>>5648045
it's plastic, dom r35 from build fighters try
>>5647979
They're all exceptionally good kits, to be honest. The Gundam has a few 'parts staying in place' issues, the Strike's waist/legs can get a bit loose and wobbly, The Zephyrantes has to be carried by cradling it's crotch and the Exia has that thing on the upper arm that the manual does not make enough of a point to tell you it's not a nub.
Other than that, you really cant go wrong with any of the RG's.

How can you post on 4chan being this much of an over sensitive pussy?
Responding to trolling means you're also bringing things down because you're too retarded to either not know what bait is and you put weight in shitposts on the internet when they mean literally nothing.
>>5647732
Like this faggot is a total faggot for replying to bait. That was the most easiest bait to ever ignore. It literally said don...AM I BEING DOUBLE BAITED?

Do you ever order stuff from Mandarake? there's a Zaku II RG going for 10 yen at the moment in Urban Mines Auction. It's due tomorrow, so you better authorize your card or PayPal if you want to grab it.
So gonna do a random color generator and see what 3 colors i will get does anyone have any lineart i can use to use as a template?
>>5648083
I understand the 1/700 kits to be ordinary cement (and probably ordinary kits with anime decals like the idolm@ster planes) but the 1/350 seemed like a custom thing that is transformable so I thought it could be snapfit even though you have to paint it.
>>5648087
it's the age we live in now, no one can take an insult even if you're anonymous
>>5648107
1/350 is a ship scale, only 2x bigger. If anything it has more annoying shit like photoetch and rigging.
You are going to need to leave the whole snapfit business behind if you want to build things that are not giant robutts.
>>5648119
What kind of glue is used for stuff like this? Just plastic cement like for seam line removal, or suoerglue/krazy glue/etc or something else?
>>5648131
Urine mixed with baking soda and kitty litter.
>>5648131
All of the above.
One can only dream.... Love sniper mechs but can never get enough of them made. Maybe an HGUC (G) Gm sniper might happen some day.
>>5648131
its a model, you use plastic cement for models. super glue is for gluing non-plastics like metal or glass parts.
also i just looked on Hobby Search and they have manual scans and runner images of the Arppegio kits. the big 1/350 sub is molded in color and may be snap together, though alot of the parts look like they glue on and the manual lists glue as a required tool for construction.

Best method for adding top coat?
>>5648200
I personally like to decant my topcoat cans into a vat and heat it to a boil, then slowly lower my gunpla into the vat from a string while cackling madly
But traditional rattlecans and airbrushing works too I guess.
>>5648200
Spray and pray.
I fucked up my HG Sengoku Astray by putting it in pieces into a rock tumbler, with ink in the tumbler and the tiniest bit of acetone
now they are all lumpy and look "rusted"
fucking end my life :( might be able to fix by hand sanding it but the tiny details are lost
>>5648236
should I disassemble, or can I just stand him in the line of fire with his arms out and hope for the best?
>>5648280
i do this
also remember to let your topcoat cure for a day before heavy handling
Does anybody actually have pictures of a topcoated psychoframe of the MG unicorns?
I get that it becomes frosted but its hard to imagine when you've never seen it before.
>>5648275
>rock tumbler
you dun fucked up nigga
>>5648275
What were you trying to accomplish by loading a bunch of plastic and acetone into a rock tumbler?
>>5648307
to quickly panel line the model with the ink
it backfired badly
RIP
>>5648310
Of course it backfired horribly. I'm morbidly curious though. Pics?
>>5648315
i'll get some in a couple hours
looks like shid
The MSG assault rifles are pretty cool. The notHK416 has an extendible stock and M320 that can slide on or off the bottom rail and the notAK has a folding stock.

Another kit for the backlog gods.

>Is it at least less prone to spontaneously combust like the RG?
It's much more prone to falling apart. Shoulder to upper arm peg-hole connection is loose, the neck balljoint is weird as fuck, wrist balljoint has to be pulled out a bit to stay in place, ankle guards, knees, laps tend to pop off. The thrusters are a complete pain in the fucking ass, definitely need to be glued in.
Suffers from usual bootleg fit issues, but can be remedied quite easily by a bit of trimming / drilling / sanding.
They lost the ball on the seams in the forearm.
No toe joint hinders it a lot.
>Does it live up to the ver ka name decal-wise and leg for days?
28 of the Katoki inspired text+circle decals, a few warning ones and four EFSF decals. Eyes and cameras are decals too. Waterslides.
>Does it comes with the javelin and shit?
Only the bazooka, shield and beam rifle.
For 18 bucks with shipping, it's not too bad. Lots of room for improvement but it's a valiant first effort.

>And the other day they pointed out a barely-noticeable-unless-under-a-magnifying-glass misalignment on someone's custom rifle barrel.
Anon here. The build was to be published in an article, and I didn't know it was a mock up.
And it wasn't difficult to see the alignment issue either, so you're full of shit.
>>5648339
so theres a k.o now? care to link to the taobao source?
the original kit based off the GPWC entry was stupidly expensive.
>>5648330
are they insanely huge like some of the other msg sets? i just built 2 spiral crushers & 2 grave arms and holy crap theyre huge. Especially the grave arms, thats literally taller than the 1/100 figure i was building them for.
>>5648365
They're pretty much the perfect size to look perfectly in scale with a FAG so they'd be a little bit small on your average 1/100.
>>5648350
I wouldnt say it was a KO, unlicensed yes, but not a copy of anyone elses molds.

It was a Ora Zaku contest winner I thought?
How would Heavyarms shoulders look on a Gouf?
>>5647217
Multiple posed kits are generally part of a diorama, so yes?
I'm waiting on some clear rod to come in so I can affix them to a base.
>>5648420
They don't fit for one. And by don't fit I mean that proportionally they look too small and the gouf shoulder joint doesn't fit inside them.
>>5648420
Picture a gouf, but with heavy arms shoulders
>>5648398
youre probably right. all i remember is it was based off a competition entry.
