-=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

>>
>>23815746
that's the train of thought that led us to Shitpla btw
>>
>>23815746
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.

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!
mascot anon here, now opening request for the entries of the Ace Group Build!
Now with the Ace custom being made, Inspired by a discussion I happen to came across, I have a special option for this occasion.

Participant may request one of the either:
A. a mascot with suggested theme, usually a creatures
or
B. Bust portrait of their Ace Custom's pilot(Reference appreciated)
Currently expecting to be able to provide:

Up to 3 slots full color final product(no background, one slot preserved for Burst Hail, will be given to next in line if request isn't made)
The remaining two slot will be given a sketch of their request
Please post picture of entries not used by groupbuild dude(WIP and older photo is okay) to verify your participation.
This post will be repost until the slot are either full, or one more thread after the final theme is confirmed.

I already have 3 packs on order and contemplating a 4th
>>
>>23815899
The Mr Hobby PS-289 is good. The quality is about the same as Iwata's but for way less money. The PAC dial is nice as you can thin paint more and use it to do very fine lines.

>>23815899
I've been using a Harder and Steenbeck for a few years and it's been solid and reliable.

The pegs made of the soft plastic are pretty bad for this sort of joint. They get loose over time and it'll make it drop the leg.

I replaced the polycap pegs with some junk plastic parts with identical shapes. He feels like a strong boy now and stopped wobbling.
>>
>>23815923
>>23815884
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.
>>
>>23815911
Which model?

>>23815903
>>23815908
Good choices

>>23815933
Evolution Silverback if I remember right, I think they've replaced it with newer models now though.

>>23815932
It is even worse than that. It is a polycap peg inserts to a polycap hole. Kek

Jegan and Jesta have shield missiles

one of the Gundam 0 has missiles i think

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 to paint

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.

>Please post picture of entries not used by groupbuild dude(WIP and older photo is okay) to verify your participation.

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.

How big are these 1/72 AMAIM weapons in comparison to 1/144 gunpla? Do they use 3mm?
>>
>>23816191
so just moving forward slice down as much as possible and then use extra thin cement to glue parts together or just a small coat to dissolve the whiteness
>>
>>23816208
Forgot pic
>>
>>23816209
Just paste some to make the nubmark less white and then sand.
>>
>>23816210
They use 3mm hardpoint and peg, but the size is around Zeta - Hathaway era, more suitable to stuff like Geara Doga, Messer, Gustav Karl, etc.

After buying and building the Master Grade O

I gotta say, I kinda love it. The O was already one of my favorite suits but I love it even more now.

Please ignore the sticker mishap on the skirt I am retarded.
>>
>>23816210
they will fit most HGs but they're a bit on the bigger side for that scale, same goes for the actual model kits
>>
>>23816222
Abit big for OYW and 90s miniaturized robots, but middle aged UC would be a good fit. Alot of these would look so good on Geara Doga.

>>
>>23816251
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

This may sound like a retarded question, but is there a database that has details on what kits contain what generic runners?

If need be I can probably make my own replacement struts but I would rather have the parts if possible.

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.

USAGundam has the upscaled RG Zeong for pre-order at $74.99.
https://www.usagundamstore.com/products/zhanshenhad-rg-1-100-zeong-upscaled-rg?_kx=lqPLJl7G0ER5S3bt0JJeEhUfORR83VCtch5XvHPIfbc.QPkpvt
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.
>>
>>23817221
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.

>>
>>23817380
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.
>>
>>23817212
overpriced Super Sentai kits with tons of transformation engineering that puts the MG Zeta ver. Ka to shame, but at the size of HG.

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
>>
>>23817358
It's their goddamn fault for reprinting the FAZZ only just before the announcement, my buyer's remorse is giving me hesitation because I don't need three 1/100 scale ZZ's.

I had the same thought about Sheik Mainland kits. In the end, adding various fees, it WAS cheaper... But only by like $5, and for a lot of extra hassle.

I forgot that they reprinted the fazz twice last year and this year. Well at least you can still buy the full armor.
>>
>>23817457
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

You can paint ABS with lacquer. I have almost exclusively used fat primer layers and have never had an issue.
>>
>>23815647
Just need to snap the backpack and then strip it all down and start sanding/priming
>>
>>23817588
Why do all of this, then break it down and paint it? Why not just paint it before building?
>>
>>23817595
Snapping gives me time to think of my paint scheme, as well as see what parts need extra attention (mold line and seamline removal)
>>
>>23817614
I think it'd be faster just to remove every mold and seam line than it would to build the whole thing and take it apart to find out which are visible.
>>
>>23817643

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.
>>
>>23817865
It Gundam Base exclusive so obviously it's pretty rare. It basically red Delta Gundam but cheaper than retail Delta Gundam
>>
>>23817899
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.

Boat! Can't help myself doing some dry fitting, the tape is just a rough gauge for the waterline. When I am going to make the cut I'll first glue it like this, weigh it down so it does not wobble and trace it round with a marker at the desired height.

Think bigger, Anon. Acerby and Gogg are still fondling eachother, that pose is to cute so I'll keep it for a while, I will make better size comparison pics when I get to working on it. It is standing on an A5 dummy sketchbook on top of am MG Qubely box for some vague sense of scale. the bottom half that comes off is about 30cm or 1ft 'ish, the cut is below the tape but even then the leftover will be a nice girpla rowboat with some work.

Is there any sort of generic articulated chain I can use in the place of the normal floppy ones for gundam hammers and such? Or honestly just any better method of getting them to not be kinda shitty. Wire ends up usually kinda unsightly, at least with the gauge you need it to be at for it to not collapse under its own weight

It is painted. Every part of the red gundam (but one) has the base layer done.
>>
>>23818266
I'm not gonna repeat for the 3rd time.
>>
anybody here built the motor nuclear lu bu? how big is it compared to an HG RX-78-2?
>>
>>23818270
The base layers are done. I haven't done a lot of the detail work yet. I have to let the paint dry fully before I touch it with a brush.
>>
Has anyone else built the Star Abyss yet? I can't decide if I want to put on the decals or not. They are a bunch of those random white line type ones and I think it'll make the kit too busy.

I risked fucking up the paint by doing the detail layer early, just for you. There was a lot more that needed done than just the radishes. The tiny imperfections will be fixed when I do the panel lining in SEVERAL DAYS when the paint is completely dry.

>Frame Arms Girl
>Megami Device
>30 Minute Sisters/Missions/Etc.
>Figure-Rise Standard
>Megalomaria
Additionally, any "Feminine" mechs like the Nobel Gundam or Valsione are fair game as well. What you do with your build in terms of theming is up to you so long as your base is "Feminine".

Sometimes they just send it to you with the box anyways if you buy a big kit since it's cheaper than increasing its size by 25% because of the bubble wrap.

>>23818364
As I said before, a shitpost groupbuild is counterproductive. If all the submissions are shitposts, by definition none of them are.

how come japanese rarely shade their paintjobs?
>>
>>23818768
I see those tiny bumps on the chest. Did you do that or is this a third party part?
>>
>>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.
