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 the unclear, "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 images whenever possible; even if the kit/part looks bad, you are more likely to get help posting images.

>Why are my pictures sideways?
4chan strips EXIF data from images when they're uploaded to the site from your phone, including the orientation display tag. To fix this, save your images separately, or use an app that will rotate and save the images for you.

==INDIRECT COMBAT ROLES GROUPBUILD==

Build a mecha or vehicle that is meant for an indirect role in combat. This can concepts such as:
>Electronic Warfare And Communications & Airborne Early Warning And Control
>Minelayers and long-range weaponry spotters
>Scouting and Surveillance
>Commanding roles
>Sub-flight units to aid MS (Base Jabbers)
>Field Repairs & Supply
Basically any kind of combat role that isn't just "Robot made to shoot/punch another robot"

Submit your entries to gunplaplamo@gmail.com , include at least 5 finished pics and any WIP pics you took while working on your entry, as well as a brief description of your build.

I bought my first airbrush kit today. I'm still terrified of airbrushing anything and will probably avoid using it for some time on my snapshitted kits, might use it on bigger shit that might be less hard to fuck up. Thanks for listening to my blog.

>>22639599
I hope you bought a ton of plastic spoons.

How do you get rid of Parts Gnomes that makes your parts disappear without a trace?

>>22639606
I've got nothing for gnomes, but if you've got fairies that just take stuff, I find some level of blood sacrifice tends to make them give stuff back.

>>22639606
Cut up leftover runners, put them on a plate and leave it on the floor for the night. Repeat this from time to time and you'll develop a healthy relationship with your gnomes.
<s>Or just make an offering to Plamor. A single goat head a year is usually enough</s>

A danish guys gunpla stores warehouse flooded today and he lost 50% of his stock. What are the chances that insurance will let him keep the plastic to sell in a sale?

>>22639606
only happened to me a single time in my 3 years with the hobby, i guess my cats must take care of the gnomes at night. so get a cat i guess, just get one of those cats that doesn't pee in your waterslides drawer or bat your kits of shelves. works on my machine

>>22639606
capture them and sodomize them

>>22639606
You need to give offerings to them. The last thing you want is to try catching them. House elves can fuck with you if you piss them off.

Man, Tamiya Lacquer Thinner is good, but why the fuck does the smell last so long?!

>>22639588
Build impulse complete
I was worried the red came out a bit too dark but it fits fine with the other colors thankfully

>>22639631
The only real modifications I did was swapping out the shoulders and side skirts and cutting off the hood(?) of the head to improve range of motion, the mg impulse can barely turn it's head OOB

>>22639633
I used to think the build booster was kinda shit but it's grown on me a lot while working on this

>>22639634
The handles are a bit small for the impulse's gorilla hands though

>>22639636
Lastly, the frame when lit by a blacklight. Looks really nice but it's hard to take photos with the weak one I have, should probably get a bigger one.

>>22639588
Not actually a WIP, but finally got around to finishing the MG God Gundam. That HY2M light up hand actually works shockingly well, now to try find the other set. <s>Looks pretty good for just sanded plastic even though I fucked up some spots.</s>

Any anons have advice on mixing paint colors? Or maybe recommending some that can match pic related?<br>Really love the Gunner Gundam color scheme and I want to use it for my next build, but I can't find any paints that match the colors. I'm beginning to think I'll need to mix colors in order to get it right but I've never mixed paints in my life and I'm wary of fucking up. Is it really just as simple as mixing a bottle of blue with a bit of gray/black or something to get the darker blue, or does more go into it than just that?

>Is it really just as simple as mixing a bottle of blue with a bit of gray/black or something to get the darker blue, or does more go into it than just that?
god no
if you don't test your custom mix first on some plastic spoons first to see how it will come out the color will come out looking completely off and you will be wasting 2 bottoles of paint.
I draw digitally and playing with color mixing gave me a new found appreciation for tradfags, goddamn is it tedious

>>22639670
>Is it really just as simple as mixing a bottle of blue with a bit of gray/black
Yes and no. If you want somewhat desaturated colors, then that does work, but mixing paints reduces their vibrancy. Best thing to do would be to mix a small amount in your airbrush and test it on a spoon or part to see if you like the result

>>22639672
>>22639675
Gotcha, thanks bros. That's one of the things I was worried about too, mixing the paints and wasting one to two bottles after realizing the mix looks terrible. I didn't think to test a small amount on the airbrush itself first but that's a much better idea than what I had in mind initially.

>>22639683
If you have your paint in dropper bottles you never need to use spare bottles for mixes, just write down or memorize your ratios and you can remake the same shade every time.

I envy the japs that can just walk down to the shop around the corner to buy whatever hobby supplies and paints they need. Having to order everything online and plan around bulk orders because of massive shipping fees is miserable.

This is the first time I heard this Solomon brand. Are they new chink brand?

ingenious paint stirring/mixing strategy

>>22639691
so far as i can tell they’ve only released the gp02, its p good quality so far in what i’ve built of it

>>22639690
That reminds me, how the fuck do you people get paint sent to you if you don't live in an area with hobby shops.
I am not sure that most non-commercial, non-bulk delivery service will send tiny bottles of paint overseas.

>>22639718
It's not like there are no hobby shops on the entire continent anon

>>22639691
Hopefully this will get Bandai's ass in gear to make some 0083 2.0 MGs

>>22639690
I envy them for that, for the cheaper model kit prices, and for the fact that they have stores that sell gunpla parts which is perfect for kitbashes rather than spending inflated gaijin prices just to buy a whole kit for parts.

If it's any consolation, and it's also what I tell myself, it probably wouldn't feel worth it to have all that but then be forced to suffer through Japan's insane 20 hour work days and then spending what little free time you have left afterwards drinking with your boss and coworkers. At that point, what time do they even have for gunpla?

>>22639730
Most serious builders in Japan are 50+ year olds for a reason

>forgot to hit the inner lip of the wing with purple
>didn’t notice until everything is glued together
reeeeeee
should i mask the copper and spray the part, or just try doing it by hand?

>>22639733
Masking seems like the easier plan

Is there any difference between lighter fluid and charcoal lighter fluid when it comes to cleaning up panel lines? My local grocery store that’s right outside my house only has charcoal lighter fluid.

Snapshitted an HGUC Z'Gok tonight in preparation of painting it when I finish my current project and group build project. A few of the joins feel particularly loose, is this just a side effect of the ABS to PS joints? I presume either some super glue or some nail varnish should tighten it up, but is there anything particular to the Z'Gok I should look out for?<br>I will probably do a custom mono eye mod because fuck the sticker, scratchbuilding the housing should be fun.

there's a bunch of craft acrylic paints at the michael's near me, whats the difference between those and "hobby paints"? <br>how come they dont have vallejo

>>22639754
Depends on the brand but sometimes charcoal fluid is a lot stronger and can destroy even lacquer paint

>>22639765
Michael's and Hobby Lobby are for mom/aunt/grandma shit I have no idea why you guys bother shopping there.

Cue incoming "muh 40% discount" nonsensical ramblings

how do you clean droppers like these when the lower bit is clogged with ink, is it worth it to clean them or do you just throw them out.

I feel bad about dumping them but if I just dump them in tool cleaner liquid I feel like they will just melt.

>>22639780
I just toss them. You can get a bag of 100 droppers for $2-$4 on Aliexpress these days so I treat plastic droppers as disposable.

>>22639765
Craft store acrylics have really bad pigmentation and will break if you thin them down for airbrushing or smooth handpainting. See if you can buy paints online instead as craft paints suck.

>>22639670
With the white/black/gray pigments that are added to regular colors mixed paints can look very dull. You might want to try something like the Gaia Color primary paints as those aren't padded out and can still be very saturated when you mix them.

>>22639782
yeah I guess that's to be expected.

I really like the chunkiness of the Xi. What are some other similarly bulky Gundam?<br>I'm not really a fan of the Penelope and its chicken head.

I thought 00 is popular.<br>Where the hell is RG Reborns?

>>22639819
They're waiting to figure out a way to make the hands go in and out of the forearm despite them being wider

>>22639812
There isn't all that much out there that's similar to the Xi, but Sazabi should be your first stop I guess.

It's been a minute since we got a new Shuffle Alliance HG

>>22639859
it's been a minute since we've gotten any 100% unique mold HG on P-Bandai

water slide decals really elevate models

>>22639877
Engage Zero and now Engage Gundam? Oh and G-Line too. And Burnlapius. And Gundnode.

>>22639929
Absolute kino. Do it and post results.

>>22639929
I don't even know what your idea is, anon

>>22639633
Very nice. Did you preshade the purple or did you add it after the white ?

>Buy a resin kit
>Resin must've fucked up while drying or something because one small part with some engraved details just has a caved-in recess

Never done weathering before but I guess I'll have to learn now since just painting in that fucked up part as "battle damaged" would probably be easier than re-creating the details.

>>22639929
Do something like this instead.

>>22639984
Actually no, don't do this, I wanna do it now, but with the whole wfm lineup. Michaelis should probably be like a hornet or wasp, right anons? And what bugs should the others be?

>buy Chinese kit
>expecting the worst
>undergated
>generally very good nub placement throughout the entire kit in general
>pre painted parts
>plastic on par with bandais
>lots of extra parts
>fitment is better than kotos, almost as good as bandais
Obviously bandai is too big to fail at this point but these Chinese companies are putting out better products than all the other Japanese model makers, bandai excluded. Its legitimately impressive

>>22640024
If those chink manufacturers get their hands on good mecha designers they would be unstoppable but that's never happening

>>22640024
I always get fitting issues with chink kit, either too tight or not enough, they always require more work than your average gunpla if you want it to be nice hand grenades or parts breaking because too tight. I like some of them but many of the designs are just too chink, spikes everywhere and too much detail

>>22639963
>he actually bought that overpriced statue
kek
lol, even

>>22640034
>if you want it to be nice hand grenades
Stroke. If you want it to be nice, not hand grenades

>>22640049
>Stroke
don't tell me what to do

>>22640054
I mean I had a stroke, but we can have one together if you wish

>>22640047
forgot to mention im poor and trans btw

>>22639996
Already did beetle with Darilbalde, but I was planning on doing the same with the Dilanza's anyway. Maybe dragonfly for Pharact? Or maybe they can all be beetles of different types?

>>22640030
Chink kits will never be good because the fundamental philosophy behind them is just all wrong, they're all about showing off how much detail and how many gimmicks they can cram into a kit, while the actual design is completely unmemorable, sterile and soulless. Less is more. Good kits have simple designs with charming sculpts, and plenty of room for personal expression from the builder/painter.

>>22640119
with the armor on, this is one of the better attempts they've done. Not nearly as offensive as say that heavyarms custom or testament the Chinese did prior.

>>22639812
Messer, Kshatriya, Gp02, and Zeong

>>22640087
How the quality of the plastic?

>>22640142
right is better in literally every way

>>22640145
>every way
>That sauceless "muh realism" ass sculpt

sure

>>22640230
winged tallgeese is a pretty design though

>>22639640
How did you manage the black light frame? Looks cool!

>went to Pandahobby and actually saw pic related there
probably the closest to a celebrity I will ever meet

>>22640262
It is, but then that means I'll have to pose it with its regular MG counterpart. And if I'm going to do that, I'll need to paint and decal them both AND get a display case because fuck regularly dusting things.
I'm just too lazy for that shit right now.

>>22640273
wew yeah that does sound like a lot of work maybe shit posting is better

Is there a cape for the rg unit 02 like the kotobukiya one?

>>22640273
>waaaaah I can't be bothered to do the bare minimum for my models
Kill yourself

I'm probably way late to this but it's nice bandai is starting to include this label on some of their option sets

>>22640142

left has better proportions but it is a rough kit to build. tons of seam lines everywhere

Give it to me straight, is gloss coating bare plastic noticeably worse than flat coat? I have some kits that I don't want to paint since I plan on messing with them a fair amount, but I don't want the bare plastic look and I need to protect the waterslides. The gloss coat would also let me panel line safely.

>>22640378
You should honestly just paint the kit

So, now that I have two Ver. Ka under my belt I gotta that they are pretty rad. Probably I will get the Nu, Hi-Nu and Sazabi down the line too.
>tfw no Nightingale Ver. Ka
Pain.

this old kit from the early 2000s has horrible articulation

>>22640426
>>22640430
Why not get rid of the mold lines?

>>22640267
Youre gonna regret asking that question.

>>22640426
>>22640428
>>22640430
Hey you should head over to r/gunpla I think you'll fit in nicely there :)

>>22640446
would get more upvotes than barzamfag too :)

>>22640447
that’s awesome hope you enjoy it

>>22639588
Just finished some snapkino of one of the best suit designs in the entire franchise.

>>22640378
Gloss, do the panel lining, then finish with a matte if you want.

>>22640452
But not as many as if he painted it in Nintendo colors.

>>22640441

I tried my best to with sprue glue but this is my first gunpla

>>22640446

Is this an insult lol

>>22640488
You don't need glue to fix mold lines. Just sand the surface until it's gone.
You're thinking of seam lines.

>>22640503

Ohhh

I'm dumb can you show me where they are?

>>22640509
Look at the power pipes on the head, there's a plastic line running around the cable. That's not part of the design, it's a mold line.

>>22640511

Oh damn i see it now thanks I'll do that next time

Zeta's 40th anniversary is in a couple of years<br>Would be nice if we got Zeta and Mk-II 3.0's for the 40th

>>22640447
Gonna get mine in 1-2 days, how big is the box compared to other volks 1/100 fss kits?

>>22640523
I actually completely expect bandai to do something faggoty like releasing ANOTHER Zeta.

>>22640269
is he as big in person? did he have the shirt

>>22640523
We just got the Zeta Ver. Ka last year

>>22640523
I would really appreciate a new Mark II. The 2.0 is mostly alright but there are some really dated bits of engineering like the old clamshell head and hands.

>>22639770
>I have no idea why you guys bother shopping there
then where the fuark do i buy paaaaaint
without buying online and spending $10 to ship a $3 bottle

>>22639205
How am I looking now?

Also: Zipties until the Gorilla glue cures, because I didn't realize I snapped the swivel joint on one of the hip cannons last night, and when I went to move the model this morning the whole thing just kinda fell off the top of the leg.

So after various fumbles, I now have: 1. Fixed rear skirt armor that only rotates at the armor joint because the screws on my internal frame wore out the plastic almost instantly. 2. A left hip cannon that's permanently welded in the hanging side position.

MAN this kit's part construction is rocking my world. I've been building Gunpla ever since the first NG 1/144 Wing kits came to the US. I thought I was ready for this, brother. (It turns out I wasn't ready for it, brother.)

>>22639770
>Michael's and Hobby Lobby are for mom/aunt/grandma shit I have no idea why you guys bother shopping there.
>Cue incoming "muh 40% discount" nonsensical ramblings

Because I enjoy supporting Hobby Lobby as a business, the people working there never fail to be decent and the store has good stock and sales? Also I do non-Gunpla stuff and buy craft supplies there.

Not Satan but I am getting flashbacks to the PG doing the flying leap melee in GBO2 now.

>>22640624
This actually looks pretty neat from a real robot perspective. It's like someone took the Gundam idea and tried to make it look like something that would be made in the real world.

Is the English language internet really all just snapshitters? Nobody seems to have ever really discussed the 80s model kits in any real detail.

>>22640689
I do the same thing on youtube. Search the Japanese name of the kit(s) and get way more results.

It doesn't imply that at all, you actual ESL.

>>22640624
This is why you never let western pig hands on mecha. They just Bayformers everything. Greebly ass messes with no aesthetic value whatsoever.

>>22640729
>western pig hands
Mechanical design for that series is handled by a Japanese designer though. Don't blame the west or east, blame designers in general losing sight of the value of simplicity and trying too hard to make things look "cool" by drowning it in details.

>>22640749
Is this supposed to be a retrain of the best archetype and summoning mechanic in the game?

>>22640749
The mecha designer turns the author’s ideas into form though. It looks like a greebly mess because this is what the production staff asked him to make. Why do you think the freedom and vilkiss are just cyber formula Asurada in robot form?

>>22640624
if they had just kept the OG gundam face somewhat and not that helm/mouth guard thing it would have looked passable.
just why?

Le 08th MS team reference for redditors

Every single redesign of the RX-78-2 is bad
Literally all of them
Only the anime original is good
Change my mind

>>22640785
do you count MK2 as a redesign

>>22640785
I don't need to change your mind. If you were in any kind of decision-making position you would have killed the franchise by the mid 80s

>>22640800
And it would have been better that way, "franchises" suck and are inherently soulless slop

>>22640801
yes, yes, you're an idiot, we already got that from your previous post

>>22640807
If the bald head bothers you, due to reused mold, it has parts from original Lfrith so you can customize it.

>>22639606
Put panty hose over a vacuum and use that in the corners or small areas of your room. It lets you grab small stuff without having to sort through the vacuum bag later.

>>22640810
but that's the best part. Though it looks pretty good with the Hexa-type head too

common gachapon tactic to have recolor versions in the same roll. They're either the more desirable or less valuable version, which means people are more inclined to spin more and get the version they want

>>22640971
I swear the entire IBO Gundam line is a giant kitbash fodder because they are so shit as standalone modelkits.

>>22640975
and the cruel irony is that the only valuable fodder are the ranged weapons

Testing some fluorescent paints

>>22640978
Too bad tritium paint is banned.
>tfw no glowing eyes for 20 years until half life is reached

I swear this stuff is black magic. Slightly uneven/orange skin surfaces? Light scratch marks? Dull colour? Spray this thing and now your kit is fucking beautiful. How did they do it?

>>22640978
pretty
i have some mr color fluorescent, do you spray them as is or do you need a grey/white surfacer?

>>22640978
What about the light bleed on that fucked up head piece?

>>22640982
>Too bad tritium paint is banned.
Just inject these bad boys and you'll likely get the same result
>>22640987
They're almost similar to clear paints, except they glow under UV lights, so it's better to spray them on top of bright paints, I sprayed them over a white surfacer.
>>22640991
Honestly? I don't know why it was there kek could be dust, because it's not there now

>>22641005
>inject these bad boys
Forgot your picture?

>>22640957
Damn the RD looks so much better

Do you guys prefer Mr. Hobby or Gaianotes? I'm leaning towards splurging on Gaia as people say that the paint mixes better and you seem to get more paint for you money.

>>22641058
Gaia is literally better in every conceivable way

>>22641058
Gaia, no contest. But it's hard to find anywhere (for me at least)

>>22641058
>>22641066
If Gaia isn't available where you live, you shouldn't be painting.
Period.

>>22641063
>>22641068
oof, those out of box colours are pretty rough.
way to dull across the board, skin looks like a corpse and the oranges are depressing.

>>22641072
It won't look like that after you paint it

>>22639588
in lieu of painting the mirage at all because it’s intimidating, decided to do painting on the space wolf and it’s going pretty well i think
i like the german grey and purple with copper color scheme, it’s working a lot better together than i thought it might. the nose cone is unpainted, i just dry fit it on to see what it looks like
the one weird thing i seem to be encountering is that the quick cement melted the paint where it made contact. maybe super glue would be better for joining painted parts?

>>22641105
>limited one use reactionary destruction is better than proactive destruction

The GY/Exile summoning is nice but not worth the loss of the board wipe capabilities

Lfrith Thorn looks just so stumpy. It's not even smaller than the average 1/144, it just looks small with how chunky it is.

I took the shot before finishing it, and somehow managed to break a piece of the back cannon because I'm stupid. Thankfully it's only cosmetic damage, but it's been pretty stupid of me. No love lost, because it's just not a great looking kit, it was just cheap-ish and in stock on HLJ.

To be fair the Nu is also really fucking big

Got my Schpertor KOG BOTH 2992 Buster Launcher. Box is taller than the regular Schpertor but the rest of the dimensions look the same. Came double boxed too

REEEEEEEE WHY IS THE GUNDAM HEAVYARMS CUSTOM EW VERSION A PREMIUM BANDAI EXCLUSIVE REEEEEEEE

>>22641164
Makes sense since it's just Schpertor with different armor and extra runners for the buster launcher.

>>22641186
Yeah they could've honestly sold more by selling the buster launcher separately with the few differing parts for 10k but instead you have to buy the whole kit

>>22641209
I find it more baffling they didn't at least include a LED veil for the price since it was part of Lonn's loadout.

>>22641172

May is almost over and there's like 5 kits that are still supposed to be released/reprinted this month. Is it going to happen?

it's a bad idea for me to airbrush my PC parts right

>>22641232
Your computer will run faster if you paint them red.

>>22641232
if you don't use a special primer like gaia multi primer the paint will easily scratch off

>>22641234
welp, thanks.
I would like to get a bit of metallic colour on them just so they won't look out of place alongside metallic-coloured parts but if I can't do it easily I will just have to tell my autism to shut up.

>>22641233
I attached that picture hoping to avoid this joke but you had to do it

>>22641236
I don't mind priming them (at least the non-bowl parts so it doesn't interfere with the poseability) but I thought it's a bad idea to paint them because lacquer paints/thinner fucks with the plastic that they are made of

>>22641232
Case no, provided you use the right paints
Components, wtf are you thinking?

>>22641232
I've never had any issues painting them

I was fapping to porn on my phone and forgot while swiping over to other pics, busted to that pic of Katoki as I couldn't hold it in anymore. Never again will I save porn and SFW pics in the same location...

>>22641320
the one with him and nagano cross dressing? or was that tomino

>>22639631
Which impulse kit is that? looks amazing

>>22641239
Gonna need way too much prep for a bit of paint that is probably going to flake off since the parts are rubbing. I'd say it's not worth it, but hey if you end up trying let us know how it goes.

is there a reason to paint inner details like color on the molded pipes if it’s just going to be covered up? i’m thinking about painting the inner frame still but there’s no point if the paint is going to get scuffed from the armor

>>22641320
Katoki is 60, yet he still looks like cute a twink. If you nut to him, i can't blame you.

>>22641350
up to you, i don't unless it's actually exposed in some way

>>22641350
Just paint everything that can be seen by your eye. Internal details are not important.

>>22641356
>>22641357
makes sense, i’ll finish assembling everything then and see what sticks out

thoughts on the Daban Zeta? not so much the outer detailing but the general engineering and build quality

>>22641443

I personally wouldn't bother

>>22641449
I mostly am interested in it because I want the whole white/red/grey set from evolve and these are much cheaper than pb versions. Figured I might as well get the regular daban zeta and paint it in white colors to match the style so if I'm getting three of the buggers I better investigate how bad it's gonna be

>>22641454
why ask then if you've already made up your mind?

>>22641485

>>22641066
what is this faggotry, you can mix the paints because they're both acyrlic lacquers so have both of them for whatever colors you want the other doesn't have

>>22639691
no they aren't. it's a side job of a legitimate company doing it incognito.

in the 15+ years since I started building gunpla, I never once injured myself with a hobby knife like I see other people do but now today, I somehow jabbed my finger with a hobby knife and got blood all over place, fucking hell this sucks and my finger is throbbing

>>22641719
at least it’s only your finger

>>22641727
eww, i think you should just cut to the chase and start slicing vertically

>>22641629
Yes but mixing shit like vallejo or tamiya dulls the color. Gaianotes this is less of a problem.

>>22641730
that wouldn’t do anything retard those are on my thigh, i’d need to cut on the inner thigh to open the femoral artery, not just change the orientation of the cuts

Finally got an airbrush setup and decided to try and paint an HG Leo kit with the flight type colors ala the mech9 color guide. Currently using Tamiya acrylics and I have seen it posted a few times that it's a shit paint for gunpla, but I want to see it myself. The way I see it, if it really is as shit as it's been said, I'll still have gotten some practice with thinning ratios, paint mixing, using the airbrush and cleaning it so no big loss. Currently messing with the light purple color mixing and still haven't gotten a color I'm happy with. This is the closest I've gotten to light purple mixing 3.5ml of sky blue to .5ml of purple. If I try to follow the guide by adding in blue, the purple comes out slightly blue, but not light enough.

>>22641738
Thinking about just using sky blue on its own and calling it a day, but this is interesting in its own way.

>>22641738
People seethe about acrylics cause they are fiddly, it just takes time and at least kind of knowing what youre doing to make them work well. Retarder is needed.

>>22641738
Thinking about just using sky blue on its own and calling it a day, but this is interesting in its own way. The spoon with Black primer ended up that way because I ran out of paint when I was spraying the wet coat. Forgot picture, and it's not letting me delete post, fuck it, the thread's on it's last legs so no harm no foul.

>>22641752
>retarder is needed
Even when airbrushing? If that's the case I'll need to grab one or two this weekend.

>>22641762
>especially when airbrushing
Damn. What would the ratio be on that? I'm using 1 to 1 Mr. Color Thinner to paint. Guessing maybe 1 to 1 to 1 since this is made to slow the paint drying? Last picture I got, a whole bunch of purple spoons with various amounts of blue/sky blue and a set of sea blue/blue spoons.

>>22641760
You can paint just fine with them but they're much more of a chore to clean out of your airbrush than lacquers, that's really where you'll see most of the difference. Tamiya's alcohol based acrylics are better about that than waterbased though.

>>22641780
I can't say I've had issues cleaning out the airbrush, whether it be a simple color change quick clean, or stripping it down and cleaning everything. Been using 91% isopropyl alcohol and acetone to do a backwash, clean the cup, the parts of the needle I can reach with the pointy qtips and the nozzle. After all that, I'll put a bit of alcohol in the cup and spray it onto a napkin, if it comes out clean I'll get the next color going, and if it doesn't, clean it again until it sprays clean.

>>22641810
Really depends on what paint you use. Some wont give you any trouble, others you'll notice the paint on the upper parts of the bowl starting to gum up when you go to refill and mix, some will only just barely start congealing on the rim as you finish a long session

Can someone post what Japanese P-Bandai is selling right now

Can I put the HWS stuff on the FF Nu? Should I?

>>22641923
Okay you're right I was being lazy. Looks like nothing good coming down the pipe though.

>>22641967
Hell yeah, exactly! Thanks for showing me that. Though I would probably paint the leg thrusters and shield blue to match up

>>22641923
I'm IP blocked cause I'm Canadian...

>>22641779
If you plan on switching to lacquers, get their leveling thinner, it already has retarder in it, so to save you the trouble

>>22642015
Okay, I'll tell you then.
There's nothing worth buying because Bandai hasn't released a kit in recent years actually worth purchasing. It's all about Koto and Moderoid nowadays.

>>22642120
Waiting for Moderoid's Sleipnir

How often do you go back and fix up an older kit, /gpg/? Just decided to take this fatboi off the shelf and properly paint the thruster vents all over.

Just finished building the rg epyon and holy shit, that might be my favorite kit ever. Can someone recommend me some similar kits?

>>22642276
Unicorn and onward are good. Basically just pick something and you'll be alright.

Get RG GGG if you're based.

I wish he had more hand options though. Unless some random ass expansion kit somewhere has more hands in the right colors.

>>22642362
Why spend more than $100 on a block of cheese?

I guess the RG Reborns is never fucking happening now huh

>>22642418
Why would you even want it? Looks like trash.
Better questions is when are we getting Exia R4 kits?

>>22642398
What. This kit was like 25 when I picked it up.

>>22642402
You're an ugly mobile suit.

>>22642276
rg crossbone is the best real grade i’ve done so far

Just ordered the Full Armor Thunderbolt, the shields are cool

>>22642402
I'm trans and my favorite series is WFM btw

>>22642120
are they reprinting the G-Line though? feels like there's not enough in the after market as the cheapest one I've found was around 6k yen and those sold out. Meanwhile it seems GM Spartans are everywhere and I've been keep tracking of GM spartan listings on Mandarake and have been getting probably 20~30 new GM spartan alerts every other month while I've gotten zero G-Lines since turning on alerts. Probably not accurate to gauge what the after market for these specific kits is like but I'm dumb and full of hope

>>22641933
I saw a build that had the big fin funnel plus the normal ones on the other shoulder. Looked pretty cool.

i mistakenly bought a RG gundam thinking that master grade was a higher difficulty level than real grade. i've only ever built a HG god gundam from g gundam like a year ago. wish me luck.

on a side note, how come the manual says "17 wing gundam zero ew" but the box doesn't have that 17?

>>22642418
Ah yes, the progenitor of the shitty China kit aesthetic.

Have you checked behind your ear?

>>22642738
How does it compare to the silicontribe resin kit?

>>22642770
Checked behind my ear, checked behind the sofa. At this point I am convinced that it somehow tracked under a shoe or something, or somehow fell into a closed bin on the other side of the room and was taken out with the rubbish.

>>22642695
It was 17th in the RG line but a big 17 would make the box ugly

>>22641872
Maybe that's why I haven't had much issue cleaning the airbrush, I've just been painting spoons and changing to the next color rather than painting a kit and having to refill the cup with more of the same color without a cleaning in-between.
>>22642022
I'll give lacquers a shot eventually, probably try both Gaianotes and Mr.Color paints. I'll make note to order some of the Gaia thinner, but I've got plenty of the Mr.Color thinner since it's what I'm using to thin the Tamiya acrylic paints. It'll be a while I think, I've got a whole bunch of decanted primers to go through before then.

>>22641735
gaianotes isnt some magic shit that somehow negates color theory
>>22641779
>Mr. Color Thinner
use levelling thinner

>>22642775
smaller scale, less detail, articulation. it's an injection plastic kit, did you even need to ask? if it's anything like their hime brain and grand cher kits it'll have some bizarre engineering choices and not be a great build, though

>>22642986
I'll have to put that on order, haven't seen any at the hobbytown I shop at.

Anyone got their Full Mechanics Sword Calamity yet? Some people have been building their IWSP Calamities already (yes, it's not called Perfect Calamity, but IWSP Calamity, as projected in Gundam SEED Eclipse). But does the instructions for the Sword Calamity really show how to build the IWSP Calamity?

I don't have either Sazabi but I'm considering getting both honestly...<br>I love the size of the MG one

>>22643080
I also prefer the Ver. Ka's bulkiness, but the RG's build process is really, really good. Sounds like you're leaning towards VK so if you have the budget go for it.
I have the RG to pair with my RG Nu and Hi-Nu personally.

>>22643080
I wish we could have gotten an MG with the actual proportions of the anime and without all the extra greeble.

>>22643221
you are a modeler you can just remove the detail that you don't like

>>22643080
i really liked the mg sazabi, it’s a pretty comfy build

Just not meant to be. <s>I think decals spoil and ruin Sazabi's makeup outside of the Casval and Neo Zeon insignias</s>

>>22643341
It's a snapshitter thing, you wouldn't understand

Will they do HG 45th Global version? I think it wouldn't likely considering that they're gonna release RG 2.0 and Best Mecha Collection but I wouldn't surprise that they gonna do something with HG grandpa for 45th anniversary

>>22643403
>Spoiler
They do. I have slowly "fallen out of love" with the Sazabi Ver Ka because of the extra shit and the squared proportions.

>>22643474
I've long learned how to like a model for its end result and also enjoy a model for its build process even if I don't like the end result (most ver kas and RGs really). You can have both, thankfully.

>>22643350
nigger i'm saying that if you want a less greebled mg sazabi then just remove the greeble

then just buy the B-Club resin kit, or tear off your own genitals and shut the fuck up.

Sazabi has never had an anime accurate kit, it literally would not be able to move with those proportions
Look into fixed pose resin kits instead

>>22643544
>would not be able to move with those proportions
My dreams say otherwise, and I trust my dreams more than I trust you.

moving is overrated
but plastic is way more fun to work with than resin
we need more shit like artpla

>>22643620

Apparently they did not think that 100 years ago when people were making wooden models that had rotating propellers etc.

>>22643620
>but plastic is way more fun to work with than resin
Why's that? Resin is more solid, and has sharper details.

why did they have to make the ugly one retail bros i'm crying rn

>>22643688
solidness and sharpness of details are nothing to do with how it is to work with. yeah resin has a better final product but plastic is just more fun to put together. clipping off runners, welding seams, filling sink marks, all that stuff. granted i've only done a couple of resin kits but with them the construction process basically amounted to scraping a few mould lines and pinning massive chunks together

>>22641345

Finally bros, I'm moving soon and I can get my shit out of storage and start painting again soon. I've got so many projects I want to work on and finish up and I don't even know where to start. I could do the dumb fucking meme build first or I could do one of the kitbashes, or just a oob paintjob. I'm so torn and so excited bros. Soon. . .

>>22643791
Just eyeball. What's the problem?

>>22643795
Only a few, common ones like microtext with a square on one side and triangles, but at a cursory glance it looks like the 2.0 is going to need more triangles than the original provides. The decals that are missing from the original's sheet are also a pain point.
But looking back, this explains why the mono eye decal was such an awkward fit.

>>22643788
if that's what you want to have on your shelf then just do it instead of crying like there's nothing that can be done

Last (You), make sure you give me one or acknowledge my post. We're already at bump limit so at least you don't get the benefit of the thread dying faster with your inane shitposting.

>>22643704
Yeah fair enough I guess, I enjoy painting more than building so having to manually sharpen every single edge and detail on plastic kits is just an unnecessary chore for me.

>>22643841
explain how encouraging modeling in the modeling thread is trolling. you're the one that wants a less greebled 1/100 sazabi and it's completely up to you if you want to put in the work to have it or not

>>22643857
Not him but he'd have to modify every single aspect of the entire kit including the basic shapes and proportions, it'd be faster to 3d model and print your own Sazabi at that point

surely a conversion kit I'm looking at won't sell their last stock any time soon
surely I don't need to impulse buy, when the base kit is pretty much sold out everywhere
surely...

>>22643862
Requires building it from the ground up. But he's either too low IQ to realize that. Likely trolling judging from the
>you are a modeler
original post of his.

then enjoy begging to bandai for the rest of eternity for a kit you'll never get. lazy faggot

>>22643871
I better not hear you complaining about Bandai not making kits of your favorite mobile suits then
In fact buying kits at all is for lazy faggots, real modelers scratchbuild everything

>>22643791
Just apply them as you like. Consider it an opportunity to be a little more creative. I follow the guide myself when I can but when I can't it's no sweat.

>>22643879

>>22643892
grunt designs don't really appeal to me at all. gundam also isn't my favorite mecha but it's not like that really matters since the thread isn't exclusively for gundam
>>22643893

>>22643894
There's no way you could possibly know what I buy or what I know of. Stop projecting. I don't even like Bandai kits.

>>22643903
>i'm sure you can make something work
You'd have to modify every single limb, reshape the torso and head, and work around all the shitty open hatch gimmicks and the fancy inner frame while doing this. The kit is literally only getting in your way at this point. Doing this with the old MG Sazabi might be more realistic, but still very difficult. Doing it with the Ver.Ka would just be retarded.

>>22643894
But the only ones of those they make are for the main characters

>>22639718
Lacquers and enamels? You're probably SoL, saw a euro guy (and a few people in my shithole country) get gaia from AliExpress a while back though (saw the stores and the pricing was awful, about double what Volks charges in their US store), some ebay sellers in HK and Taiwan are also willing to "smuggle" them, again expect to pay way more; depending on your country your package might get seized though (pretty rare afaik).
Water-based like Vallejo are not classed as hazmat, so that's usually the way forward, also you got Tamiya that's pretty much everywhere, if you can't even get Vallejo or Tamiya, chances are you live in a hellhole.

i’m going to miss the gp02 when he’s done, are there any other similarly mechanically interesting builds out there, third party or otherwise? most master grades seem more simple than this is which is a shame, since real grade is the only other affordable option and those are just main suits with no interesting designs like the kapool or the baund doc or gaza-c

Details for the three P-Bandai Scopedog Expansion Kits are revealed in further detail.
Option Set 3 (Turbo Custom) comes with everything to convert into a Turbo Custom (complete with a heavy weapon mission pack, 7-tube missile rack, Droppers Folding Gun and extra ammo packs for the machine gun) and includes some red wing piece designed for it.
Option Set 4 (Red Shoulder Custom) comes with parts to convert your Burglary Dog or a standard Dog with Set 3 into the Red Shoulder Custom, and includes an arm gatling gun that replaces the right arm, and a pile bunker.
Option Set 5 (Trample Riggers) just comes with the Trample Riggers, and is designed to combine with Set 3 for those who don't go the easy way to create their Burglary Dog.
All sets will come with the same additional extra hardpoint plate and form-fitting hip parts from the Burglary Dog to keep the improved articulation without breaking up the hips.

He is really little more than an entrepreneur who plays a small role in this racial movement... These details should never be addressed in the television series."

Those are the main critiques by people who either aren't obsessed with twitter freaks or merely pretend not to be. In the near two years since episode one aired,
>muh troons
has ALWAYS been the biggest slice of the discourse.
>>DUDE PORN LMAO
>You are a disgusting freak, go back to twitter.
And there it is, this is the point I've been trying to make all this time. Any other series, the porn and fanart wouldn't see a word of contention. We even had a thread here a week ago to validate that. But because we're talking about G-Witch and how girls like Secelia, Norea, Sabina etc. are proof that not everything about G-Witch was tailor-made or sabotaged for western sensibilities, you now have to play puritan; you've got to dodge around it and deflect to "muh twitter freakos", as if sex appeal and porn are concepts only recently fabricated on twitter by the same western crowd who demonize the straight male for liking things with sex appeal.

I wish this show was better. The girls were cute. Feels like it had the most phoned in world building of any Gundam once it got past episode 0 though.

I'm not playing puritan, it's just retarded that you (and every other gtroon) would use porn as a metric of how good a show is, as if there weren't dozens upon dozens of examples of western IPs that are absolute and complete trash but have terabytes of porn.

Gunda seed = crap.

>Katana material is strong enough to clash against beam sabers.

The katana was made for the Akatsuki, which actually does make the whole mobile suit out of that material.

So the Futsunomitama is made out of Yata-no-Kagami's reflective material? Guess it's the reason why it's shockingly sharp.

>>22640597
>>22640887

That shouldn't work, the Akatsuki's armor is for deflecting ranged energy fire above all else. It doesn't work against solid material and was notably horrible at holding up against melee damage, Destiny effortlessly lopped an arm right off. Akatsuki's armor vs a beam saber should be chopped right through.

Not sure if this is supposed to claim he's badly written or just a terrible person (anyone who fights for Titans is intrinsically evil regardless of motives), but Jerid is one of the most enjoyable on-screen presences at all times, his half baked apology for killing Kamille's mom is hilarious.

This means that the Titans and tye AEUG were both examples of nigga synthesis

>>22641402

The fact that he somehow managed to survive the fall, climbed back up the mountain presumably without crutches, and accidentally killed Four afterwards were pretty impressive

Why make a full article just to rehash the same opinion the majority of the fanbase has?
Jarid was an ass and heavily misguided but he still has more character than 90% of throwaway characters.
I honestly liked him better than Char because he develops in tandem with Kamille instead of being a static force or trying hard to be mysterious and sad.

I wish clickbait would try harder to at least have a semi unique flavor to it.

Jerid was about to stab Kamille with a beam saber, but Four regained herself and put the Psyco Gundam's cockpit between him and the saber, so Jerid killed her.

Man that sure was a helluva way to start a series off. You had gun fights, car chases, spy shit, tuxedos, gun fights, women in tasteful yet attractive swimsuits flying on jet packs, gun fights and a robot fight. And not an ounce of exposition or establishing the premise. Which I'm sure will probably come as we go but man talk about jumping into the deep end.

It's definitely a show that expects the audience is capable of figuring the details out on their own. Those details are there (certain things seriously pissing the normally collected Banjo off, for instance), but the show's not going to beat them into your head too hard. As you've noticed, there's plenty going for it even if you do only look at the most superficial levels. Great show.

Also, Toppo's kind of a dingus but the ED's going to be stuck in my head again.

>>22641501

>>22645529
Oh yeah, that's the good stuff.

I fucking hate the teal bits on Impulse so much. I like the suit and it's one of my favorites to play in MBON but the teal is so fucking ugly. I'm so glad the Spec II changes it out for a much nicer looking gray.


Is there a bathroom inside these gundams? I've seen them fly some long distances.

I can imagine some basic tools needed in case the pilot is on long missions or just stranded, but I can't imagine actual bathrooms. Most I can see is the G-Self's toilet, and with that I assume any waste is just shot out into the vacuum of space. Maybe you'd have hydrogen/oxygen sources capable of generating water, though I doubt you'd want to waste any of it washing your hands and ass when survival should be your first priority.

>>22641521
Typically mobile suits are expected to sortie from bases or ships for a relatively short period of time, and in a pinch the pilot suit ought to have some of this functionality. If you're not wearing one... well, tough shit.
G-Reco has toilets built into the seats but to me that's very deliberately a unique idea - the kind of convenient, quality of life thing you'd out in a war machine if you only had a vague idea of what war is.

>>22641521
In Gaia Gear the man-machines came packed with a change of underwear.

They're told their suits have built in toilets, as a joke

>>22641521
Reminds me of the opening fight in FSS where they make mention of the smell of urine in a fight that's been going on for 65 hours straight, also in Zone of the Enders, Dingo is not allowed to remove himself from Jehuty for the entire length of the game, always wondered what would happen if he suddenly needed to use the bathroom but I guess he's not eating anything either.
