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

**MELEE GROUP BUILD**
Build/paint a robot with a loadout focused on melee combat! Anything from shields to swords to lances to axes to bare fists is fair game. There's no room for ranged weaponry here, however, so anything resembling a rifle, Rocket Launcher, cannon, pistol, or any other ranged weapon is a no-go (Small ranged weapons that are built into the kit itself like head vulcans are ok, however).
More clarification here:
>If the body part has a built-in ranged weapon (head/chest vulcans, claw beams, etc), then that's fine. If it's a separate part like the Alex's arm vulcans it's best to leave those off.
>Melee weapons with in-universe ranged capabilities (Like the Kimaris's lance or the Gyan's shield) are fair game too.
>Any scale and any brand is fair game here, you're not limited to just using Gundams this time around.

Anyone got a line on good stencils for camouflage?
AW SHIT NIGGA
Uh-huh
>people still "watermark" their images
Stupid fucking retards.
And that kit sounds like a horrible idea, the MG had knee problems that took them at least two tries to fix, how do they expect to make it work on a smaller kit without using metal pieces?
>people will break their kits trying to transform them
>meanwhile I will enjoy the unicorn mode
Christ, if they manage to make a kit that doesn't spontaneously explode when you blow on it then I'll buy it for the technical prowess alone
Never knew there was an archive of the series out in the wild. Let's have a MJP thread while I dump it over the course of a few days.
Has a lot of details on the AHSMB units.
WELL, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! GET IN THE MASS PRODUCED ROBOT NEWTYPE PRIVATE
SHOW ME YOUR WAR FACE
i'm the kai-type guy who hides the fact that he's scared shitless by acting smug
So I just finished Discotek's release of Toei's Devilman series after owning it since it was first released. Don't think I've seen many thoughts on it and I doubt many people have seen it, so I'll share mine.
Like Mazinger and Toe's other Dynamic Pro series, the show is episodic for the most part except every now and then they'll introduce a new "demon general" to send out grunts for each episode. This is like every 10 or so episodes with the exception of the final three.
The first 25 or so episodes are really fun and there are some creative designs. The first half of each episode tends to be focused on spooky things happening with the second half being focused on Devilman fighting the demon.
It's all really fun until around episode 30 when a character named Lala is introduced. The horror elements are basically thrown out the window to focus on this character that has a crush on Devilman. She's an incredibly boring character and because of her none of the more wacky Nagai side characters can get any attention. Thankfullythey kill her offand go back to how the show was before she was introduced but by this point there's only three episodes left.
By the way, it basically has a Cutie Honey ending in the sense that nothing is really resolved and the main villain is still out there.
Toei ranking:
Mazinger > Cutie Honey > Devilman

This is interesting to know, thank you.

>It's all really fun until around episode 30 when a character named Lala is introduced.
>go back to how the show was before she was introduced but by this point there's only three episodes left.
This disappointed me until I remembered that the show is only 39 episodes meaning this Lala character only exists for like 6 episodes. Is the Discotek release easy to find? I plan to get it and Mazinger soon to watch some nice Toei stuff once I finish Toei Getter.
>>15508810
Wasn't it essentially a toned-down version of Demon Lord Dante in terms of some elements? I recall it's basically one main reason why Devilman was made in the first place (aside Nagai being allowed to make the more notorious Divine Comedy-influenced manga version of Devilman).
Name a better mecha design than Dougram. Just try!
pro tip:You probably can because different people have different aesthetic tastes and yours might not match up with mine. This is actually perfectly okay and expected; all that matters is we enjoy ourselves in sharing our mutual love of giant robots.
The best design is the Jegan D-typeaccording to my personal preference, though I understand that others may not be partial to redesigns, let alone grunt mecha, and that's okay
>>15508111
I am right there with you buddy, supporting your ideals.
>>15508111
Soltics are cooler and don't look like they're wearing diapers
Now that the dust has settled we can all agree IBO is worst gundam, no franchise entry has been worse and never will be.
>>15507137
At least put effort into the bait
Even if you're doing obvious bait at least try
>>15507164
>he thinks this is bait
>>15507137
Correct statement.
>Honey is a robot
>this never seems to be important or even mentioned often
Is there any iteration of this franchise in which Honey's mechanical nature is a plot point or in anyway integral to the story? Cause if not, that's kinda weird.
>>15506794
When Koji is revived with her technology in ZERO we see what her metal body may actually look like
Can't think of that ever happening in any Honey stuff I've watched or read
>>15506798
Does that not strike you as odd?
Like, does she have any thoughts on being a sapient weapon or the fact she's a replacement for her father's first kid?
Doesn't she find it kinda odd that her dad designed her with a supermodel figure, and her main power revolving around putting on different sexy outfits?
Hell, since she seems to have no opinion of that weirdness, is she even truly sapient at all, or is her mind specifically designed within limited parameters? Is the fact she's a robot a commentary on the inherent objectification of fanservice characters?
Does Tiger Claw ever try to infect her with malware? Does she ever have to get her oil changed? Replace a shorted piece of wiring? Firmware updates? Can you use her as a mobile hotspot? Fucking anything.
>>15506794
It's not really weird.
>>15506985
None of that is odd enough to be worth thinking about except by weird tumblr autists like you.
>Is the fact she's a robot a commentary on the inherent objectification of fanservice characters?
If you actually knew how old her character was and who made her, you'd know that can't be the case. Also
>objectification
Kill yourself.
If you were a pilot designing your own personal Gundam, what would be it's signature feature?
Would it transform? Have a super-powerful gun? Would it have funnels? Would it be invisible to funnels? Would it have a shield that reflects energy attacks back at the enemy who fired the blast? Would it have an A.I.?
My Gundam would have a super-powerful EMP blast, with a shockwave of 5 miles. All mobile suits and mobile armor would be powerless within 5 miles of me while I was at full power.
Able to jump to another Gundam timeline.

It uses the V fin as a boomerang for a secret weapon. Just when you think you've got it beaten, it takes off the boomerang V and throws it.

Anon, why didn't you use the pic on the site?
What happened to Chris after 0080?
Was that really her in that scene at the end of Char's Counterattack?
>>15504978
What scene?
She probably kept being a test pilot

there's a redheaded gal who might be her in 0083
So I want to watch Gundam. What order do I watch the series in, because God knows there's a lot of different seasons.
gee it's not like this thread is in the catalog 5 times
fuck off we're full
Start with 00. If you like it, try Unicorn or SEED.
>>15504822
Start with:
>Movie Trilogy
>Zeta (don't watch the movies)
>ZZ
>Char's Counterattack
Then finish UC or watch AUs.
Magical Mecha is the future of /m/
>>15504370
>Rayearth tried this and it bombed
>Dunbine tried this also and it bombed
>Escaflowne tried this and was shit
No it isn't. Mecha is cancer and you should die.
>>15504384
>Wataru tried this and it started a trend that lasted half a decade
Did Akira Amemiya work on this episode?
He's pretty good at channeling the Obari aesthetic.
