-=READ THE GUIDES=-
Welcome to the Gunpla/Plamo General!
For those new, please read our guides. We have many resources available to help you in many different aspects of the hobby. They're here for you!
For the unclear, "plamo" is short for "plastic model". "Gunpla" is thus short for "Gundam plastic model". Many different kinds of models are built here, ranging from mecha to planes, cars, musume, you name it! If you're new, you're gonna screw up. Don't worry! If you're seasoned, don't make the newbies worry!
And don't forget to report shitposting and spam. The mods don't browse /m/ too often, so it's up to YOU to help keep our general clean and civil!
>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Be more specific, and try to provide clear images if you can.
>Why are my pictures sideways?
4chan strips EXIF data when images are uploaded, including the orientation tag if it's from your phone. To fix it save out your images separately, or use an app that will rotate and save the images for you.
One easy to use app that works well on Android:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplemobilephotoresizer

Bandai makes kits for what their Japanese fans want. And Japan absolutely loves original Gundam so, from Bandai perspective, it makes a lot of sense to produce nth variant of Zaku from some obscure locally available only manga, than some model from newest series that Japanese care less about (because it's not muh Papa Gundam). Autism is Japanese national trait and that translate, among other things, into sometimes irrational clinging to same things and schematics.
>but what about the West?
West does not exist. We do not exist. To Mr Takeshi The Boomer CEO there is only local market and some guys outside that can receive some leftovers. Sounds absurd in modern globalised world but they are still stuck in the past.

Snapshitting Hazel Icarus atm. The first impression is abit disappointing. The folding rifle lacks the folding mechanic and you have to remove the parts to transform it. Compares to the 3rd party rifle, the Chinese executed the idea much better.

Alright, new thread!

I'll add that polycaps are fine if they connect to a solid, horizontal peg. It's just these ones with the vertical peg that are the issue.

you should buy some polishing compound and a microfiber cloth to smooth out some of that texture. looks great otherwise

>>23815968
It just the beginning.
Soon, your inner frame will be made out of KPS
Joints will be polycaps for the first generation as unfortunate it might be
Muscles will be some combination of shell parts and putty; and I can picture some of of the must adepts that would modify the process with more putty and pla pate
Only those blessed and touched by Plamor itself will finally be able topaint

Okay, I would like to request mascot for Akaitsuki then. Pilot portrait is tempting but I kinda imagined him as Hiroki Saito expy (if anyone recognize who I had in mind, you win so many internets) so lets stick to mascot then. As for theme - "blood moon" and historical samurai clan vibes suggest something similar so maybe moon and kitsune (fox) in Miko outfit? But if you have better suggestion, Im all open.

any tips for sanding/denubbing on curved surfaces? I've been having a lot of trouble with things like gun barrels, tanks, shoulders, any kind of curved surface where it meets inthe middle. At first I was using glass files and then got some sandpaper but even wiht the sandpaper i get these slight indentations. I feel like denubbing should not be this hard but really having trouble with clean surfaces

It might be true. I rather just give the scientist the benefit of the doubt that they messed up their detection systems.
If everything is good on their end, then that just means that Plamor will manifest in this land and we will finally become part of the one plastic hoop with the plastic cement. Soon the flesh will give way to the plastic....

i needed to reinforce the pegs because the bases were narrower for some reason
so i purposely globbed on the superglue so i could paint it silver and make it look like a messy weld
so the rocket pods are now repurposed surplus
i also drilled a 3mm hole into the pistol from the red beret's combogun so i could add it as a side weapon onto the left-hand rocket pod

This may sound like a retarded question, but is there a database that has details on what kits contain what generic runners? I am trying to source a D-107 runner for an old B-Club kit and can't find what other kits may have one for the life of me. If need be I can probably make my own replacement struts but I would rather have the parts if possible.

I think I have some idea on how I want to do it, I am considering doing Fox in miko dress as you suggested, but I am considering making her a samurai as well, so if you don't mind, tell me what you think. That said, I would like to know if you prefer it as 2 leg bipedal character, or the type that stand on four legs.

Samurai sounds pretty cool, like I said, Im open for your ideas. As for 2 or 4 legs, I just think that kitsune aka human with fox features, would work best, similar to how you did mascot for Savage Wolf as wolf-girl before.

If you look at the timeline it looks like 2018 when they did corporate reorganizations (when they went from red logo to blue) took a lot away from retail production and shifted things towards P-Bandai with new kits decreasing overall. I'm sure the Wuhan Flu didn't help things either. It sucks.

Interestingly, the company name is listed as 'Orange Cat Zhanshenhad'. Is it possible that Fat Cat disbanded and then started a new company to make this? These bootleggers do stuff like that all the time, possibly to keep Bandai off their trail.

I think also it's that they pretty my much sell out all of the reprints that they do. There isn't as much incentive to make new kits if every print run still sells out.
Kinda like how Revell still uses 1980s molds in new boxes as they still sell all of those ancient ship molds with massive flash as the customers don't complain and just buy.

The MG ZZ is remarkably stable. It helps the ZZ's transformation is structurally simple, but even still, the MG is impressively well designed and is among the sturdiest OOB MGs I've built. I can't speak to the Full Armour/FAZZ additions, I just have the EZZ for now, but I doubt they change too much. It's wonderfully built, no two ways about it. Just wish it had an alt head cannon and v-fin with no transforming mechanics, I think that is the only thing I'd point to as a relevant flaw for me out of the whole kit.

I was curious to see how expensive would be to buy the osiris aerial dominator from superbuy instead of aliexpress
the kit costs ~625 CNY including local shipping to warehouse, then I looked at the shipping calculator and found there's a few options that charge by weight instead of volume
aliexpress kit costs around 180€
superbuy + cheap shipping = 100€
right now ali has a 20€ off for spending 160€ or more, so I'm not sure if it's worth the risk, but it's something to consider in the future (e.g. no discount coupon, kit unavailable in ali, etc.)
if there's interest from other eurobros, I could try it and report back

That's the whole goddamn problem, I have the ZZ and bought the FAZZ for the explicit purpose of kitbashing the Full Armor ZZ. And then they went and announced the Full Armor ZZ kit after I already made my purchase. If I buy that, I'll have three MG ZZ's.

>>23817358
I don't feel like I will get the FA ZZ. At best the Enhanced parts and call it a day. I have a MG ZZ already so my shelve space is getting smaller and smaller.

Chang kit pricing is wierd. Pre order is usually cheap but you don't know what you get. On release it spikes a bit because everybody wants it, then all the sellers get a lot of stock and the price drops to make room in their warehouses, then it goes up again because it becomes more rare.
I got the Arial Dominator for €125,- shipped from Ali this december, a local store who sells 3rd party kits wants €200,- they also just got it in stock a week ago.

Burger here, back in February I found one on Ali for $145 USD (123 Euros), and after taxes and applying a seasonal discount coupon it came to $137 total (116 Euros). Only problem was that it took about a month to make it to me, probably because it was such a huge package and I ordered it in the middle of Chinese New Year.
Most US retailers sell it for upwards of $220 USD (187 Euros), before shipping and taxes. I saved a huge chunk of money. And honestly, trying to do a huge song and dance to save even more probably isn't worth the headache, especially if it involves creating more accounts, signing up for more mandatory newsletters, and the like.

Yeah, they tend to be limited runs only, a lot of that is to do with all the pre-painted parts I imagine. There have been the odd reissue here and there, the SRX kit got a big that includes the R-1, the Kai parts, the R-2, R-3 and the R-Gun with all the Powered Parts and additional bits you had to get in a separate kit originally.

Fickle was the word for pricing I was looking for in my OP. Idk, in Euro land we pay extra tax/tarief for packages over €150,- so usually I try to find something that is under that threshold. I got a Daytime Meteor Wich I got locally for €135,- shipped because Ali did not have it under €160,- at that time. Ali sellers with good reviews are best but not everybody has the app and puts a review, I never had problems but there is always Ali money back guarantee on stuff I buy.

Little correction - in EU you no longer have 150€ limit for duty since local shops cried too much about "muh unfair Chinese competition", now every single package is subjected to extra duty. Except that plastic models category have 0% duty so it changes nothing.

They're probably still going to try to cash in on the GWX 30th anniversary, and Wing Zero Custom getting 2nd place in the worldwide Gundam poll shows that people will still put money down for it. It already has an RG, and the MG Ver. Ka wasn't that long ago, so that leaves HG and PG to rake in more money. I don't see them doing a RG 2.0 since the existing RG is in a "good enough" state, unless they take the same approach as they did with the RG The Gundam 2.0 and model it after the MG Ver. Ka with all the gimmicks including transformation and folding Twin Buster Rifles, maybe even RG scale Drei Zwergs.
>>
>>23817956
That sounds almost to logical to be Bandai logic. Would be cool to see what they do to Wing Zero Custom as a PGU. I have been prepping some parts of the resin dress up kit I got for my PG and that is already a massive upgrade over the original plastic.

Can I just pretend this thing's from Jupiter or Saturn instead, would the lankiness and hollow bits make sense near planets that have far more mass?

how come japanese rarely shade their paintjobs?
>>
>>
>>23818799
They are too inflexible in their way of thinking. I'm not even joking here, I saw videos of Japanese painters spending tons of time on carefully masking details or other elements when they could just use brush at this point. Hell, you can paint with precision using airbrush, even with my obvious lack of skill I could apply base layer of paint over cloth right next to iron armor part on my 3D printed fig. Guy doing Harder & Steeback videos straight up says that if you are struggling to use a tool, ask yourself if you are using right one for the job. Not to mention that airbrushes allows you to shade much easier than normal brushes. So not only they refuse to use more convenient tool at the moment but also act blind to capabilities and advantages of the tool they use. Nothing stops them aside from their nationwide autism preventing them from thinking outside the box and cross the invisible line, their inner need to conform to "the norm". This is so bizarre it actually hurts.
