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

Being a Sinanju is just suberashii
Anyone know of a good way to make roller wheels like the green frame from the manga?
Somewhat related. I'm modeling a guncannon detector. Can you guys give me some opinions about the proportions? As you can see the hands, feet, and head are only blocked in for now. The backpack hasn't been started at all. Details and small touches are far from being done.

>Cracked polycap from gunpla
>First time ever
Wow, this never happened to me before and this is coming from a really new kit.
My old classic HGUC RX-78-2 after 11 years still has all its PC piece in good shape.
I am not sure whether I have a spare piece for that part.
>>5676603
>>5676604
>>5676616
Your proportions are just a liiiiiiiitle off. Just by looking at it, I'd say that the chest needs to be a little shorter and a pinch wider, whereas the legs could benefit from some sort of beam or spacer to separate them from the crotch and give the suit its wider stance.
Other than that, you're off to a pretty goddamn good start.
>>5676934
I might have a spare polycap, take a picture of the polycap outside of the kit.
So I just snapped a clear piece in half. Figure I can't get replacement parts since I don't live in japan (as far as I've heard, still gonna contact and try)
Is there a way to fix a snapped clear piece and having no noticeable crack in it? It's essentially just a straight bar of clear plastic, how hard would it be to carve out a replacement part of the same dimensions from a runner?
>>5677111
Post a picture of the piece you broke
When will Bandai restock their old Macross kits?
I want the Armored Messiah but restock never
>>5677120
June
>>5676934
I don't know if you have a Hyakuri or a Graze, but I know those kits don't use those polycaps from the same polycap runner.
>>5675960
They're Thai's actually. Malaysia uses the roman script.
>>5677124
I make it a point to save every unused piece/polycap but I don't have an extra for that one. Would gorilla glue/super glue work?
>>5677077
I dug around.
From what I can tell, kits containing PC-002 all but one used the #6 piece for the hip/leg attachment.
Thankfully I got the one kit that does not use the piece .
>>5677140
As long as the adhesive doesn't go inside the hole, you should be fine.
Time to see what everyone's building.
Paint on the joint is already scratched because I was trying the extending thing too much.
Can't bear to put any stickers on but bandai will never print more water decals.
>>5677114
Too late, I already attempted to glue it together with cement and just ended up fucking up the piece more due to panic. I'm attempting to carve a new piece out of a chunk of runner but it isn't going very well.
I sent Volks and email asking if I could get a replacement runner, though I doubt they'll ship to Canada. At this point I'm will to just buy the kit again for extra parts since I'm modding the shit out of it.
>>5677173
Buy a Graze, a Mack Knife, Hyakuri, or Grimgerde, anon. They don't use either of that specific polycap. Gusion if you really only need the one.

>>5677176
wrong post, that's the clear part guy
>>5677181
Oh, whoops
I meant to reply to Revive MKII guy
>>5677163
I've been burning out hard on my gbwc project. Since it doesn't need to be complete until August I've been slowing down on it and working on kitbashing hguc gelgoog with the old msv 1/144 Johnny Ridden gelgoog.
The hard part is that I already poorly seam lined and painted the hguc years ago when I was first learning. So I stripped the paint, put putty in the missed parts of the seams, and am planning how to paint the joints and around them as they are locked into the limbs. I'm also going to be mildly detailing it up with some new panels and such.
>>5677183
Would there be a way to duplicate the part? As in creating a replica mold for the piece, melting down some of the runner material, and pouring it into said mold? Anything to avoid spending another $70 for a duplicate kit
>>5677209
Unless you feel like spending a bunch on recasting supplies and clear resin, thrn no.
A picture of the piece or model would help. I have no clue what you're even working on.
>>5677239
Why must you reply to the spammer?
>>5677163
The full burst kit comes with waterslides
>>5677192
Could you possibly post pics of what the old msv gelgoog's backpack looks like?
I've been thinking of doing the same thing, but I can't find it being sold anywhere and I've been wondering how much work I'd have to put into the backpack.
>>5677430
I'll post it when I get home. I was lucky enough to snag one when hlj restocked on them several months ago. The backpack and custom bazooka are very slightly undersized and need very minor mods to fit, but nothing immediately noticeable and difficult.
The bigger issue is cleaning up the terrible seams on the parts from the old kit.
>>5677632
Yeah, I remember seeing it in stock a while back and now I regret not buying it.
Anyway, thanks for letting me know and everything. Good luck on your build.
Anybody happen to know how often hlj restocks on the old msv kits?
>>5677666
Depends on when bandai decides to reprint them.
>>5677685
And.. how often does that happen? Once a year? Once every two? Once every full moon when the planets are aligned and enough lives have been sacrificed to Plamor?
>>5677693
>Once every full moon when the planets are aligned and enough lives have been sacrificed to Plamor?

Guys I want to paint, but have absolutely no knowledge at all on painting.
I have some good condition cheap brushes and acrylic paints.
Also have a FG 1/144 RX-78-2 kit.
Can you help?
>>5677832
Read The Guide.
Somebody help me out.
When I was a wee boy (1992-1993) my dad bought me some form of Japanese mechs from Woolworths.
He build them up and when you put a battery in them they walked.
I had a blue one and a black soviet one, I also remember you could change the weapons they held in their hands.
Any help greatly appreciated.
>>5677856
Sorry I should say, anyone know what they were called?
A number of threads back some dude posted a shot of a "centaur" he made that was basically a frame arms girl with a Graze shoved up it ass.
Dis anyone save that pic? Or have a link they can point me towards?
>>5677868
technically it was a grimgerde shoved up her ass
Anyone have a MG GM 2.0 they want to sell? Even if it's built, as long as it's complete and hasn't been glued or painted.
Anyone got suggestions for colour schemes on a stylet FAG? Also, are there any good linearts for it?
>>5677878
Was it? Either way, I need pictures of plastic girls with robots shoved up their asses.
>>5677217
This is the part in question
>>5677933
Btw its the teal coloured straight peice not the clear ball peice
>>5677933
Polish it with fine grits, 1500,2000, then a nail buffer if you have one. Then coat with a clear nail polish or something similar. The break should be invisible or very hard to see at least.
>>5676384
Thanks for the OP Gelgoog.
Fuck, my desk looks like a bomb hit it.
>>5678276
clean it up and take more pics
>>5678298
It's gone midnight so people will bitch if I start cleaning up now. Got the LED's working though.
Hey, can any of you sultry builders rec me a pin vise? I'm an amateur when it comes to drilling holes. All I know is that Bandai runs off of a 3mm system, so anything that comes with a 3mm bit is preferred.
>>5678369
>All I know is that Bandai runs off of a 3mm system,
They don't. Some polycaps are about 3mm but it really varies from kit to kit. You'd want a whole set of drill bits from 2.0mm to 5.0mm with 0.1mm steppings.
Pin vice, buy any set. Vices don't need to be great or anything.
>>5678379
What the heck is a 0.1mm stepping?
>>5678387
He means the drill bits get larger or smaller in .1mm increments, or steps. That is not a pin vise term, you are WAY overthinking this. Google a fucking pin vise, look and see what different companies make. You will see what he means.
>>5676384
Check it out bros
>>5678391
Hey man, I said I didn't know shit about drilling holes in things. Pls no bully.
>>5678396
I will bully you and you will like it, shitstain.
Use your Googles.
>>5678394
hahaha, the backdrop really makes the picture.

Straight builder who panel lines only here.
Ive got a MG: X, amazing red jesus and hyaku shiki.
which should i build first? i only have a grey marker on me at the moment though
>>5677430
Sorry for the subpar lighting. A couple bulbs burned out in my ceiling lamp and it turns out I have no spares at the moment.
>>5678748
Also, two little thrusters go in each of those boxes on the bottom of it. I just haven't glued them in because I'm painting them separate.
To make it attach to the hguc I just stuck a styrene tube around the existing peg and filed it down on the outside a little bit.
>>5678759
And with that it nicely slots right in and fits perfectly on the hguc torso.
>>5678764
That looks pretty dang good.
>>5678598
>Shredder
thanks for reminding me that barbatos looks like shredder
>>5678704
>not building the prefect gundam first
>>5679134
red jesus it is then.
Haven't posted an update on my MG Leo in a while. It's starting to come together pretty well.
Used the last of my styrene sheets on those ass thruster pods. I ain't complaining, though. 6 years worth of material was a pretty good purchase, in my opinion.
Everything else is getting closer to the final shape I want them at. I'll be able to see where I'm going wrong on a lot of these surfaces once my can of leveling primer gets here.
I cut about half a centimeter out of the lower legs to get him down to grunt height. Wish I had another Tallgeese so I could compare it to the changes made here. That'll probably be my next gunpla purchase, since I've been wanting to do a clean kit build for a while now.
such a blank canvas, not quite sure what to do with it, i was thinking cutting the leg pieces into three parts
>>5679413
>>5679451
>its another shitposting episode
Also clawfeet looks pretty good and easy to scratch build
>official gundam 3.0 decals are finally back on sale after I just completed the build with the stock stickers
>>5679735
I can't stand stock stickers (sensor and scope being the exception) anymore. It's either bandai quality water decals or nothing at all.
>>5679735
>waiting for official decals
>actually uses stickers
clearly you didn't care
>>5679706
Speaking of Graze with clawed feet, Toriko is at it again. He went Astray Mirage Frame on the Graze Ein.
>>5679805
I prefer having actual hands than what the Graze Ein had.
>>5679806
Nothing says overkill like giving the Graze Ein giant guns that double as pile bunkers after slapping Messala parts on it.
>>5679815
What thickness of styene/pla plate sheet should I buy? Which are the most useful?
>>5679885
dont be poor
dont be pedantic
dont be stingy
>>5679885
Anything over 1mm is generally overkill.
>>5679890
buy what you need, whenever you need it
>>5679890
But what if I have a flight to catch in 5 hours and I can't sleep
>>5679928
Sleep on the plane
>>5679951
I have a couple weapon ideas in mind, but I would also like to use the plastic to cover gaps on SD kits or the feet in this pic.
>>5679968
Use putty for the hollow parts in the feet and sand it down, then use the plaplate to add details if you want that.
>>5679968
Just putty that shit
>>5679968
>>5679985
Only use epoxy putty and not putty based on solvents, that shit will soften your feet and make them warp
>>5679989
so use something like tamiya white putty?
>>5679888
NO CIGARETTES
NO ALCOHOL
NO DRUGS
>>5680000
Liquid putty is different from epoxy. If you want to fill huge gaps like this, liquid will not do.
>>5680002

>>5680000

Anyone here ever attended an unofficial gunpla competition/convention?
would you recommend it?
>>5680074
I don't see why not, depends on your region though.
>>5680074
The one I went to was disappointing. Only like 7 entries, all hg, and most were poorly painted.
>>5680083
This one is in england
>>5680094
Holy shit that is awful, reminds me of my first paint job which was also a mock
>>5680105
I wouldn't know, I don't live in England. Just go try it out and report back with results.
>>5680094
did you take more pictures? My gallery needs this!!
>>5680074
I've been to the scgbw southern cali gundam competition.

This one actually isn't that bad.
>>5680192
This guy used a gloss topcoat on top of a battle damaged and weathered kit though.

This was a waste of a P-Bandai kit.
>>5680190
Thanks doc
Holy all these models make feel better about my own painted models

>i cant into scratchbuilding so im gonna hate on this
Some of you guys should be ashamed to call yourself builders
>>5680316
Careful anon, you might trick yourself into believing your own bullshit. Next time, use a flatcoat on your model before you enter it into a contest.
>model is shitty looking
>paint is bad
>topcoat is glossy AND covered in bumps
>"you guys just can't scratchbuild!"
>>5680316

looks like the dude has been hotgluing it
>>5680316
>Semi-Striker
>scratch-built
ohboyimlaffin
The P-Bandai kit uses runners from the GM Striker and GM II. Even if they didn't use the P-Bandai kit, all they accomplished was slapping two kits together and making it look like it was covered in sewage with that gloss coat.
>>5680316
>implying the P-Bandai Semi Striker GM has new pieces
Now if it was a GFT ReBawoo, you'd actually have a point.
Ordered the Banshee Norn MG, So i dislike the Current Plastic colors it comes with for the psychoframe so Which Colors to go with for it? On my list right now is either Gold Psycho Frame or a gloss yellow Psycho frame..
>>5680358
Well, the shield on the forearm and the back skirt are new pieces, but it's still idiotic to think that someone can't build kits if they insult what is a badly painted model.
>>5680316
>wow that paint job is just shit
>Y-YOU JUST CAN'T SCRATCHBUILD, THEREFORE YOU CAN'T BUILD IN GENERAL
>>5680316
>he actually calls himself a builder
Tatsuya, go back to doing /m/eijin things.
>>5679485
>>5679987
Underrated post
>>5680190
To be honest I unironically like this one.
Not to insult that one anon, but I think this looks better than the "fabgeese" in the fab department.
>>5680478
Yea I'd agree, that one's not so bad, ignoring personal taste over the color and paint choice the technique isn't bad.
I'd say its better than the unicorn by virtue of the crazy colors and variety, I'm a sucker for colorful, unconventional shit.
>>5680196
Who won?
>>5680677
Me. It wasn't strictly a gunpla contest, just anime related. My other entry got second place as there were no restrictions on the number of models you could bring. I don't think I'll be going back though. The convention was small and overall a hassle.
Gonna buy this, anything i should know about this model? Does it need a stand?
>>5680750
It doesn't "Need" a stand, but you'll get a lot more poses out of it if you get an action base #2.
>>5680187
omfg
>>5680403
can you scratchbuild?
>>5680774
I've seen enough Youtube videos to get the gist of it
So far, I've made beam saber handles from plastic tubes
>>5680784
You're fine then. If you can't scratch build you can't call yourself a builder!
>>5680792
So I'm a builder if I drill holes in plastic tubes for beams?
Thanks, Meijin!
>>5680796
>So I'm a builder if I drill holes in plastic tubes for beams?
Of course, Gunpla is Freedom!
>>5680792

>>5680798
>Meijin says: Make your own goddamn beam saber handles!
Do you guys bother with the RG stickers or just buy 1/144 decals? I was hoping trimming and topcoat would make them blend better with the kit.
>>5680925
it's about the same level of work doing stickers or decals on RG I find
>>5680943
Decal softener
Update of the Guncannon Detector
Head and feet are done which is the last of the major body parts. Asking for more opinions on the proportions.
Head was based on a mix of the original and Katoki/Unicorn versions. The lineart for both confused me in equal parts and I actually liked the original design a little more in terms of overall shape.
>>5680995
What's with the Turn-A literal cockpit?
>>5681004
It's supposed to lower as a third leg to stabilize when firing artillery. I decided not to model any sort of mechanism for that, instead I'll be making the butt armor the stabilizer.
According to the Katoki lineart and sketches the Guncannon Detector's butt armor is a trapezoid with a big flat surface and for some reason the round crotch is used as a stabilizer instead. It makes no sense.
>>5681015
No.
>>5681015
No. Waterslides are printed on material that is affected by liquids like the softener. Stickers just repel it.
>>5681016
I hope you can make that an actual feature for zeke-defeating-crotch-thrusting action.
>>5681016
So its supposed to sit like its taking a dump on the floor and plant its 'third leg' when firing?
>>5681031
Here's a pic of the Robot Spirits toy
I suck at scratchbuilding with styrene and carving. What are some cheap toys lines with weapons I can cannibalize and cut up to bash into new stuff for my gunpla?
>>5681067
I got a few of them, but I just like having tons.
So is the Next Re 100 the Bawoo?
>>5681087
Awoo~?
>>5681087
No official confirmation yet, although at this point it is likely. Gundamguy is just going with popular opinions for page views as usual. Watch him keep bumping it to the top of his blog for several days to get people to see it and delete any comments that ask for a source.
So just snapped this guy together for now, to anyone who's built the Turn X before I only ask one thing.
How the fuck is the pistol supposed to stick on the weapon's platform?

>>5681444
Nice legs. At least it's something.
My only regret is that I passed up on the 1/60 V2.
Has anyone here ever applied their gunpla techniques to an action figure or something similar?
>>5681396
Much easier compared to previous kits. Though I think coating the brown and white parts with an acetone wash had something to do with that.
>have to pay almost double the price to get the gunpla you want + a bunch a unusable parts
fuck you bandai
tfw the wait for the thunderbolt mg is killing me.
What would be the most 'real-robot' choices when it comes to the Frame Arms line?
>>5682093
Gourai or Kagutsuji.
For a given value of "Real robot".
Take a look at koto's msg weapons while you're at it. They are cheap and frame arms are made to work with them.
>>5682093
Gourai/Zenrai/Ryurai, basically ground-based units.
>>5682012
if only it was possible to buy some cheap addon to enable you to build both
>>5682209
or to just buy them as stand alone kits
>>5682209
Not without a decent amount of modding there isn't.
>>5681979
I've applied panel lining and a topcoat to a couple Transformers figures and they turned out well. I definitely want to try taking one apart and painting it though.
>>5681071
Hold off on buying high grades until the customise campaign comes back on. Buy all your kits at the same time and get a fuckton of joints, guns and other spare parts. I got 27 sets from my order last year.
>>5682591
Is HLJ part of the customize campaign? I live in France, and that's so far the only way I found so far of getting gunpla, aside from overpriced kits on amazon and ebay.
>>5681282
theres a part which has a tab to slot in on the handle.
pretty simple imo.
>>5682598
Usually yes. But not the summer card campaign
i have a big dilema now...i looked at my old MG exia and see how much i improve, but now i feel like i have to buy another exia and make ir all again (since alredy aply decals and top coat) there is no way to fix it. But there are so many MG i still want and if i keep like this im never going to cacht them all D:
pic related my last build
>>5682625
Thanks. I'll try to see if I can find an actual physical store, maybe they'll have more chances of being part of it.
>>5681979
I've used basic hand painting and subtle weathering techniques on a few zords. Its a huge improvement over the plastic stock look.
>>5682692
>>5682633
Stuff i do now, i use light gray for panel line, i paing in dark gray big interior areas and other suff.

>>5682695

Well at the very least it does look less plasticky
>>5682591
You think they'll have another one of those this year? I love the extra weapons.
>>5682012
Not hard to mod the barbatos frame into the fat one's armor.
>>5682746
Have you actually tried? Besides the connection points on the limbs, the knee can't connect to the gusions lower leg which is a seperate piece with no frame. The gusion frame has a knee joint that pegs into it when you remove the lower leg frame, the barbatos one is locked into the lower leg frame instead.
There's a lot of autism and shitposting going on in /m/ more than the usual fare.
>>5682764
Yeah I actually did mod it, Had this as a reference to modding the frame, doesn't seem to need the peg in the middle but if you wanti t secure, glue it.
>>5682791

>>5682695
this looks mesoamerican
Finished up my second (and third) attempt at the MG Ground Gundam. I massively fucked up with the gloss coat, decals (as a PSA, fix silvering as soon as you see it before it's too late like with me), and possibly priming because there's so much paint chipping. I think I put enough time though that I can call it done.
>>5683014
>>5683016
One of the great things about having multiples is all the possible loadouts possible.
>>5683018
A little preview of my next project if I don't get distracted by the Gouf Custom or Kampfer next.
>>5683022
You could especially see the decal silvering there that I'm very ashamed of.
At least they look too bad from a distance and in their temporary display look.

If it is g-CON you're talking about, the Japan trip has never been confirmed and set in stone.

don't be a shithead
Off the top of my head, the Epyon suit turns into a dragon. Seraphim Gungam kind of turns into a face/ head and sort of combines with Seravee Gundam

>>5683169
Meant to rope you into this too
Oh! Gn Archer and Arios turn into these Space ships which sort of combine into a biger ship.
Good luck getting Archer for a decent price
>>5683118
Some of the HGUC transforming MS from Zeta transform without parts swapping. Methuss, Gabthley, Gaplant, and Asshimar.

This is especially funny because it just got a reissue. I have 3 of them sitting in front of me now.
>>5683188
Wait, really? When did that happen?

Literally a couple weeks ago.

April 26th. I actually posted in both /gpg/s asking if people got their preorders in. I'd link to the /toy/ one, but apparently the archive's down so I can't go find what post number it was.

ironic the re-issue just drove the price straight down to 14$ a pop.

If you have to ask that question you probably won't win. Look at winning entries from other contests, look at top tier modellers and emulate them while adding in your own style.
I'll see you at g-con, I'm only entering one kit cause that shits expensive.
I'd buy a Zudah-F P-bandai kit.
If i slap on a bunch if missile pods, cannons, guns and shield, that classifies as a "full armor" right?
>>5683451
Well, you do need some armour as well, otherwise you just get a "full version"
>>5683451
>and shields
ftfy
>>5683459
Well i don't have a pic of it, so ill just describe it
.its a hg Johnny ridden zaku 2 with some of the amazing backpack pods and a hardygun 1/100 ng cannon. I also gave it a mega particle diffuse system and a shield that incorporates sbs beam absorb. Pretty much a "fuck your special snowflake" for gunpla battle/gbwc
>>5683537
Sounds more like a "heavy weapons use" MS.
>>5683338
God. DAYUM them legs. Them sholders. That everything. I'd fuckin buy that in a heart beat.
Opinions, criticism, any input please.
Not really based off anything.
I accidentally made 00Q's chest fin red and now I like it. Tried working it into Transient's scheme too.
I know the red stands out quite a bit, but I want to keep it.
>>5683779
I like the 00, but I'd add in a second shade of green, just to break it up a bit. Though if you don't paint the clear parts that'd do the trick well enough, same for the Transient.
>>5683784
That's the idea.
Leave the clear parts as they are, and flat green/blue as close to the tone of the clear parts as I can get.
So basically the green/blue will all be roughly the same tone, it's just some will be clear and some will be flat.

I'll occasionally put something in for the National Hobby Show at my local Hobbytown, though gunpla (and sci-fi mechanical) entries are sparse.
I did go to a Gundam Day celebration a few towns over the other month, there were some okay builds on display there.
>>5680094
That is a nice metal blue though?

They look like they're in the dark, like it's dusk.
It's nice.
>>5683932
Nice blog
See those tiny metallic ball things on the skirts and calves? I've been seeing em on many kits and wanna know more. What are they called? Where do I get em? And how do I use em?
>>5683985
Ebay '1/144 parts" and switch it to low price
>>5684002
Sorry if that was vague, detail up parts was the brand i got, look for a seller with sinaju as their pic, lots of stuff like those balls
>>5684079
For best effect, drill a lil bit then glue it
>>5683932
>That is a nice metal blue though?
You can't see it in the pic but in puson the edges of the stripe were really uneven and the blue all had horrible brush marks,
