***READ THE GUIDE***
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.

Our next Group Build!
Field Repair
Basically what this means is that rather than the mobile suit being fresh out of a factory, it's quite the opposite. Whether it's trudging through dense jungles or dodging debris in asteroid belts, your mobile suit has seen some better days.
You've been out in the field for quite a long time now, nearly half a year of active duty in the front lines and your personal mobile suit's pretty banged up. What's worse is the fact that there isn't a maintenance bay within several thousand kilometers of your local area that's capable of making any major repairs. Your unit's engineering crew has resorted to patch work and jury-rigging to keep your machine operational. Stray fire might have crippled its legs and arms or otherwise dealt considerable damage to a mobile suit's systems meanwhile some units have simply lost bits of armor and panels to the elements and have been forced to patch weld metal sheets over the exposed inner workings.
In any case it's beaten to hell but somehow you and your team have somehow kept it chugging along and now command's ordered all units operating in your theatre to fall back to form a defensive line against the enemy offensive.
Deadline: March 7

I love the color scheme you've got going on there. They're different enough from each other that they're individuals yet unified enough that you can tell they're part of a single group.
>>13798522
This looks cool and I think the shape of the new Graze's shoulders would work with it pretty well.
>>13798578
I'm afraid that this suit is going to job hard since we've already seen the new Barbatos that uses its' shoulder armor.
>>13798751
Not job as hard as this poor fucker.

>>13798827
When I run out of shelf space.
>>13798827
You keep on going.
I do have to say, a big collection of MGs is far more impressive looking than a big collection of HGs.
>>13798827
Weren't you just complaining about how you have too many kits
>>13798907
Yeah, but they tend to be a lot less fun to pose/play-with. They're just too heavy in general for the joints' friction to hold up bigger weapons without them falling down.
>>13798827
>More than one zaku
For what purpose
odds of an rg ground gundam?
>>13799129
muh ideahs
>>13798827
when i have no more money to spend on them
>>13799162
same as the RG GM
>>13799129
Because zaku is love.
Third kit I've actually done more than just snapfit with. I know it's pretty shitty but it's a small improvement over what I was doing before so I was happy. I'm noticing a few details I fucked up on while I'm posting so just lessons for next time.
>>13799298
whens the next gunpla show? maybe they'll show the gm there!this happens about 3 times a year for the past 5 years yet my optimism doesn't fade
>>13799341
The bullet holes looks perfect anon. Keep practicing
>>13799341
how did you make those bullet holes, anon? I'd like to try that on some of my shields
Didn't expect my kit to get the feature. Cool.
>>13799378
>>13799420
Thanks! As far as making them I took a drill bit to it. After I drilled the holes I made a couple of "long" cuts outwards from the hole. For the parts between the longer cuts I sort of just took the hobby knife to them and made them all gnarled. After that I painted as normal and drybrushed some darker brown paint for the "burns".
Got two of the new FAG released today, just finished one.
>>13799506
The hands are a LOT better now, the legs and torso now have crazy articulation, and they fixed the goddamned grey part on the neck frill thing.
>>13798827
I look at my bank account balance.
>>13799508
time for accessories
>>13799506
>>13799508
I really like materia but I hate how they did the ass. I've seen a couple of solutions to make it look better but still.
>>13799129
To give the covenant back their bomb
What's everyone's experiences with silver and gold Gundam Markers? How different is the color compared to Tamiya paints?
>>13799594
silver is SHIT gold is GOAT but flakes off easily
What the fuck is a tetron sticker? I have no idea how to apply them. Is it a dry transfer, water slide, whatever?
>>13799635
>silver is SHIT
Can you elaborate? What's wrong with it?
>>13799594
>>13799641
That guy's just being obnoxious.They're absolutely fine. Obviously they shouldn't be used for painting large surfaces, but for small parts or details they do the job great.
>>13799641
Silver is fine for small details like head Gatlings
>>13799594
while I haven't used Gundam markers, I do have a silver marker. Used it for the relief designs on the kshatriya. Looks nice, but it can rub off easily, so put a top coat on once you're done.
>>13799546
Sure
Gusion a fun
>>13799709
What a cutie.
>>13799709
This general covers also other robot plastic models, right?
Could you guys tell me about good Macross Destroids/Dougram kits?
I want to make a totally-not-battletech-IS-lance
>>13799641
>>13799647
Nah, speaking from personal experience here.
Silver gundam marker is shit, even for small details.
You're better off with a metallic silver sharpie.
Make sure you topcoat that shit though.
Preordered these back in september, now just waiting for a resin kit to arrive so everything can ship.
>>13799875
Jesus, man. What exactly do you have in mind for THAT many tanks?
>>13799916
ENTER ENTER MISSION
>>13799916
because... TANKS?
>>13799875
Oh hell thats alotta tanks.
That's the 3rd party one right?
I got the Wave SV001 one and it's kinda shit in comparison to those with the treads being a huge piece of plastic compared to those individual ones.
Didja get the plane too?
> Ordered 4 HG from Ami Ami
> 2750 yen shipping (ASP to middle east)
... Did I get ripped off or is this normal?
>>13799506
>Been holding off on private warehouse order all month waiting for Materia.
>Finally had to ship it on saturday after hitting 60 days.
>Materia is out today.
Dammit.
>>13799967
>amiami
>not knowing shipping before you purchase
>your own damn fault
>>13799967
>ASP to middle east
You get petrodollars anyway, so why does that bother you?
>>13799594
from my own personal experience >>13799635 is wrong and >>13799646 is right. I've used the silver metallic marker to do various touch ups like blades, thruster parts, and behind visors on GMs primarily and have had no problems with it so far, whether I have topcoated the kit or not. here's a pic of my zaku amazing that, I have plans to flat coat but have put it off/been shit weather and the silver i put on the blades has held up fine, even when storing and removing the knives from the holders on the backpack.
Waiting for [spoiler[a HGUC Jegan[/spoiler].
>>13799916
buying a load to sell, only 2 are for me.
I'll need to order more too...
>>13799945
this one has a fucking inner frame.....
got 4 of the planes too, 3 to sell and one for me.
I think I did okay with just nippers and a knife
>>13800306
>Not gluing the stands on your wall for increased Zero-G fight illusion
>>13800160
Ah, gotcha. What price range are we talking about?
>>13800361
they're only 90 Yuan each, but after middleman fees, shipping and customs....
any chance of this getting another re release? Or are my chances as dead as the line its part of seems to be.
there are still kits around atleast but i dont know whether i want to pay £70+ for it
Plenty of stickers for a Graze.
Not as bad as Rebake though.
>Mechanicore's 1/100 Deep Striker needs 53 batteries to light everything
hahah what the fuck
>>13800737
>the pink is part of the eye stickers
>>13800776
I can't tell if the "eyes" are molded or not.
>>13800797
Whoops, wrong one.
>>13800804
They aren't.
Graze Kai II and Gundam Gusion Rebake tech detail translations please.
>>13800960
This is the best resolution so far, so is Rebake's.
Bit going to lie, we need more Revive SEED kits.
Especially the ones from Stargazer like Blu Duel And Verde Bastard
>Finally hear back from Obook on Taobao quote.
>$74.96 after shipping
Nigga what. Guess I'm gonna have to shop around or see if I can order it myself.
>>13801015
I agree but Legend and Providence's HGCE treatment is highest priority for me.
>>13801015FOR ALL OF THEM
Could I request a HUGE favour of someone who has both the HG Graze Custom and the HGUC Quebeley Revive?
Could you see if the shoulder binders from the Quebeley fit the Glaze Kai and post a picture of it if so? Like, just the shoulder binders, not the Quebeley arms. It should still use the Glave's arms, but the shoulders should be the Quebeley's.
Thanks if you do.
>>13800960
>>13800971
Weak.
Graze Kai II
-H: 18.9m(1m more), W:31.2t(3t more).
-It's pink because they found red nanolaminate paint with the Brewers and combined it with their cheap white paint.
-Short Rifle: lower range and accuracy, but ideal for close combat in conjunction with the Battle Axe
-Hyakuren parts added weight but also added more armor.
-The coloring and head nose art are eye catching.
-Teiwaz added connectors for the Kutan
>>13800960
>>13800971
Gusion Rebake
-H:18m(same as Gusion), W:35.1t(9.3t lighter)
-While the original Gusion was a heavy armored high output MS for close combat, the Rebake due to its variable high sensitivity head sensor can play long range support or shorter range combat.
-Backpack has subarms made of diverted Graze arms
-It diverted the rear binder armor of the original Gusion and it can be used as shield, leaving vestiges of its old appearance boating high defensive power.
-An example of the Gundam Frame versatility
-Long Range Rifle: improved by Teiwaz technicians, added scope, huge accuracy improvement
-The sub arms have more or less the same output of the main ones and shoot 120mm Rifles with great accuracy.
-Because the original Gusion was too heavy for under gravity action it was refurbished and regained its versatility. Kudal didn't use AV System but Akihiro will use it to bring about its true potential.
>>13801344
Not to be that guy graze friend, but the manuals should pretty easily answer if it'll work or not. They're easy to find.
>>13801413
Oh yes, they'll show if the connectors will fit, but it doesn't show if the actual parts meld together or if they conflict in any way.
So wait, you just snap these kits together instead of glueing them? Where the hell is the challenge?
>>13801424
Then glue them you retard
>wha? This model kit comes with pre molded pieces and not a lump of plastic for me to chisel away. Where the hells the challenge??
>>13801424
Painting, kitbashing and ignoring the fact that women think you're a creepy pedophile for still playing dolls even though they're not dolls THEY'RE SCALE REPLICA MODELS OF MILITARY EQUIPMENT! SHUT UP MOM!
>>13801424
I don't have any bait images, so have this instead.
>>13801424
There's no challenge with the base kits themselves. Making them look presentable and more than just snapped together is where it takes more effort.
>>13801430
>he cant fucking scratch build
how bad are you
>>13801430
>go into hobby store
>see the new Gundam Gunpla model you have to hand chisel yourself into the runners which you then snapfit and hand paint to look just like the real anime version
Who buys toys you have to build yourself? That's dumb. I'm going to Toy'R'Us and buying the Robot Spirit RX-78 Gundam models.
>>13801453
At least you don't have to cast the pieces first, like with resin kits.
>>13801378
it that hard?
>>13801521
MG on right
HG on left
What does MG and HG mean?
>>13801531
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gundam_model
>>13801527
theres no mg of ibo
>>13801536
but-
>>13801538
I'm confused, does the new Barbie actually have white chest or is it just prototype color?
Because the last time we got prototype color, they eventually announced THAT was the final color
>>13801538
1/100 does not equal Mg you retard.
>Gusion's boosters can wield guns
Never realized how baller the new Gusion is.
>>13801432
That's a big sword
>>13801544
Probably stickers. It's missing the stickers for its face and its legs so its possible the chest also has stickers.
>>13801544
It's hard to say since the one in that picture has no stickers on (note the knees).
>>13799341
this looks good because you picked a concept that fit your skill level
keep that in mind going forward and you will always have nice kits
that being said you also have to try new stuff, when you just do the same things over and over you're no longer improving
>>13801378
Glad Akihiro got the rebake.
>>13801651
For you.
>Buy the HGBC Kampfer Amazing as my first kit
>Bandai included the original HGUC Kampfer's pauldrons, back thrusters, and spare parts of the chain mine for some reason
>Never watched War in the Pocket, so I thought these were parts I missed when building the Amazing
>I have no idea what to do with these parts now that I know that they're not meant for this kit
>>13801620
But 1/100 does equal shit though
>>13801424
> he doesn't glue his v-fins in place
>>13801859
you can either give them to some anon or keep them until you can make a custom outa all spare parts.or realize that amazing is inferior and make right what you wronged
>>13801859
>Has extra Kampfer pauldrons
>Doesn't know what to do with them
Anon, this might be the wrong hobby for you.
Hey guys. I was wondering what kinda airbrush you would recommend for gunpla painting? Paints as well. I am getting into model kits again with a friend and would like to start practicing some.
>>13801921
If you wanna just try it out I suggest spray paint.
>>13801921
Can't go wrong with a 3-gal air compressor from Harbor Freight and a Paasche VLS airbrush set.
As to paint, Tamiya brand. Or Citadel brand. Or Vellajo, or Testors. Just pick whatever is available at your local Michaels or FLHS.
>>13801921
Read the guide.
>>13801926
well, i want to eventually get into really painting them in my own way, like my own variants. My brother is a big Wing fan and and wanted to custom paint his own Wing Zero.
>>13801931
The guide's list of airbrushes are something like 8 years out of date. I know one of the links links to a product that is discontinued.
I'll check those out >>13801929
Thanks.
OMG
>>13801905
A spare parts gundam sounds fun. Thanks for the idea, anon.
>>13801917
Relax anon, it was my first kit and I was super nervous about breaking stuff or doing something wrong. I'll probably switch out the pauldrons eventually.
>>13801962
Fake.
Also why do people pretend to like that ugly piece of shit? Is it only because the source for it fulfills their Hathaway hating fantasies?
>>13801988
No it's real
>>13801780
Same, dude deserves a Gundam type tbqh
>>13801988

he literally posts the same shit all the time, just ignore him
Anyone here think they can help me figure out how the hell to put these on?
>>13802145
Well fuck me forgot picture
>>13802145
>>13802150
by reading the guide
>>13802065
What the fuck
sauce?
>>13802160
Stop trying to get me to watch that webm. It's not gonna work.
>>13802155
fuck off sna
>>13802150
if they arent listed then go wild anon. but not too wild. think "where would a caution sign go and where would a logo go"
>>13802155
I looked in the guide. Didnt really tell me how to apply them just what they were
>>13801859
>for some reason
The kit heavily reuses the runners from the HGUC Kampfer and those parts just happened to be in areas of the runner they couldn't remove so they wind up as leftover parts. Having leftover parts on HG is fairly common as most modern kits share runners with another one.
1/100 reprints when?
>>13802274
When the HGs get reprinted.
Ayyy, finally found myself a nobel, I knew I'd get one eventually.
>>13802274
2017.
>>13800671
I got it for $60 shipped from Mandarake a few months ago, so keep looking there.
>>13802308

If I see something I like I'll want to incorporate into a custom or change it to how I like it or with what I want to do.
Just need a little imagination, some skill
I feel like a mistake a lot of people make is they try to be original, just do what you want. Truly original ideas aren't inspired, you just have them.

Is there a website for translated manuals like mech9 ?But instead of translated colors, I'm looking for technology and weapon information.
Did Bandai release the February restock list yet?

>>13798655
how did you do the lighting for that kit, i just got a HG NZ 666 in the mail and that looks like a pretty fun project
>>13802852
Pretty sure that's the Chinese knock off
>>13800810
Sweet. Maybe it'll look better in Graze Kai colors.
>>13802851
Cool.
>>13802912
FAGs are weird in Australia.
like my frame arms girl, anons?never post from phones edition
>>13802918
they sure are
What's the kind of gundam marker you use to do touch-up painting? Like the small parts here and there.
>>13802274
We got both the Seed GAT series and Wingboys MS fully in MG.
So logically the next one in line would be the 00 meisters,right?
>>13802988
annnd im done.
I really am in love with Kampfer Amazing. The HG is awesome, Allan was a genius.
Why didn't this beauty get a MG instead of the Red Warrior?
>>13802992
at first I was like "where did his hand go?"
>>13802996
Correct me if I'm wrong but the existing MG Kampfer is kinda too old to retool into a new MG as opposed to the 2.0 Gundam.
They'd have to remake the whole Kampfer from scratch to adhere to modern MG standards.
>>13802957
That's not snap-fitting, so you don't get an answer.
>>13802985
I'm fucking praying
>>13803077
put your trip back on nerdo
Should I get the 1/144 Gusion or wait for the 1/100? I think I might want to pic the Rebake up sometime ( I like it from the waist up) not sure which I want in which size.
Strongly considering picking up the 1/144 Gusion and the 3rd arms pack then shooting the green parts with a black primer and green over the top for a kinda deep green.
>>13803182
I'm waiting for the 1/100 because I was pretty happy with the Barbatos, and I don't want to worry about a shit load of stickers on the Gusion Rebake
Are there any shoulder pads that could fit on the Graze's shoulder socket?
>>13803198
Same. Rebake's the first IBO Gundam I've found myself really liking and I don't want to deal with an HG stickerfest, but I'm not too keen on having to buy frogparts with it.
>>13803208
I agree completely since you are basically paying for useless parts if you want just the Rebake, but I think I will spring for it anyways
>>13803208
I'm on the other side of the boat where I love the gusion but I'm not all that fond of the rebake. It's sorta neat, but the tan doesn't sit well with me. Maybe if it was black, instead.
But I'm a fag that likes giant ass suits like The O or the Devil Gundam, or Xamel, so I dunno.
So this is one of those purples that likes to come out way bluer on some cameras huh
>>13803217
Fuck Big O is cool.
>>13803198
1/100 Rebake will have less stickers? What stickers could Gusion even have?
>>13803217
I didn't initially like the original Gusion, but when I thought of it as a turtle instead of a frog and saw the model kit, it grew on me. It's just that I prefer the Rebake
>>13803272
Probably about the same as the HG
>>13803220
Once thing that bothered me about the design is how plain the chest looks when it comes to color separation. I would panel line the vents with some color to make it pop a but more. It's cool, since I think you're the first one to post the Kimaris here though
>>13803318
One*
>>13803311
What are the little black stickers for? Everything else seems like something that could easily be painted.
I'd like to avoid sticker shock maybe I'll get the Rebake in 1/100 can always swap the armor if I want.
The Rebake legs just kill me. I get the new knee armor would protect the knee better, but it looks strange and those feet look like someone made them bigger just so the models would be able to stand up.

Amazon has that thing really cheap as an Add-On item http://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Hobby-G-Reco-Option-Gundam/dp/B00O3RUFP6/
It's still in my backlog right now, but I mainly just wanted the Shield to throw onto the G-Self (Perfect Pack comes with shoulder and sideskirts to build the vanilla one). Just wish I had the Atmosphere Pack, but I don't want to buy another G-Self..
>>13803354
Just finished the Zaku, such a good kit, seams are pretty well hidden as well as a good chunk of the nub spots, only glaring exception is with the forearms. Newest kit I've built and I've gotta say, liking the improvements over old Zaku sets.
>>13803423
Which one
>>13803392
That's where I got it!
I wasn't expecting the box for the SPACE pack to be the same size as the G-Self'sI bought the G-Self off of Amazon Warehouse for $9. The box was totally ripped and crumpled, but the contents were fine
I got me some Tamiya files too

Re/100 Nightingale owners: How the fuck do you get the front skirts to snap in? I've tried putting a ton of pressure on it, but the fucking things refuse to fit in. It looks like the polycap used to connect the front skirts to the waist is simply too small for it to fit into the ball.

>>13803431
the high mobility, it's good stuff
>>13803438
only thing I can think of is that you've used the polycaps that are meant for the wrists.
If you have your hands won't stay in after trying to push them over the connectors
>>13803471
That's what happened. The PC3 polycaps look enough like the PC2 polycaps that I thought they were just PC2s. Thanks!
>>13803030
That's exactly it.
Tangential, but now that I think about it, Freedom's getting a 2.0 MG even though it doesn't have any variants. I'm not sure if Strike Freedom could use its frame or not, but even a new Kampfer mould would allow for two currently-existing suits (base and Amazing).
Then again, we haven't seen MGs for X Maoh, X Divider, or even Exia R3, all of which would need relatively simple retooling.
>>13803217
I wasn't fond of the rebake at first, but the extra arms gimmick is pretty cool.
I love fatties like The O and Nightingale as well, so I'm tempted to go for original Gusion instead of Rebake, especially if Rebake turns out to be a stickerfest like the 1/144.

>>13803545
Did you at least do the folder thing?
>>13803550
No. I keep my manuals in a file folder I got with the Char's Zaku II Origin kit.Breaking them all down was like ripping off a bunch of band-aids
>>13803545
Once I complete my collection of theSEED Remaster Gundams(one left)I am going to make a collage of the boxes and hang them
>>13803562
Not him, but the only boxarts I've ever felt absolutely worthy of saving were from MG Gundam X, MG 00 Quanta, and PG 00 Raiser (the last of which I actually saved the whole box).
I recycle everything else.

It was an old electric candle from halloween. It originally flickered like a flame, but the slot for that lost its copper ring, so now its a solid light orange glow. Ran fiber optics in the base for smaller points of light (Not visible in op pic). The lighting in the thrusters on the binders, feet, and stand is several shades of blue and white glow paint from glowinc.com. Pic related, as its the general wiring and threading for the stand.
Also, be prepared for a lot of clipping and sanding. Those funnels are a pain, but the end result is satisfying.
>>13802859
Nope, its the official 1/144.
Loved the first one I built so much that I bought one more on the way home.

Does anyone know whether the HG kits Cherudim+GNHW/R, Arios+GNHW/M and Seravee+GNHW/B, have all the runners of the base kits?
I searched dalong but he doesn't post the full runners of the GNHW kits, google translate suggests that the GNHW kits have the base runners plus one or two extra GNHW runners. Can anyone confirm?
Anyone having issues with their packages getting delayed in the US? Particularly around the New York/New Jersey area.
>>13804678
Well there was a FUCKING MASSIVE SNOWSTORM THAT SWAMPED THE EAST COAST IN LIKE 3 FEET OF THE SHIT OR SO.
THEY JUST FINALLY GOT PLOWS THROUGH A FEW HOURS AGO IN BALTIMORE, IT WAS LIKE THE FUCKING TRENCHES OF HOTH OR SOME SHIT BEFORE THAT.
So I'm sorry your packages are delayed, but seriously fuck you and go read about the weather from Saturday.
>>13804696

I hope that's what's holding up my first package, but I have a couple of more days until I can get a full refund from Amazon if it doesn't arrive on time
>>13805104
Based on pics from 2chan I'm going to be filing/sanding off the raised detail on the crotch piece and just painting it black or grey. Looks much better as a uniform color rather than that weird G-string thing they went for.
>>13805104
What about non-existent tits?
>>13805161
>>13805104
>It's not on Amazon at all and it's already going for double the msrp on ebay.
>>13805171
Japan modelers have that covered.
>>13805180
I need this
>>13805180
I want normal tits, not gigantic inflatable cowtits.
>>13805206
IIRC the boobs are originally some third party part for Shinki that is only sold at trade shows/conventions and the modeler modded them onto his FAGs. .
>>13805009
Alright so lets say I want to level up as a builder. So far I've just snapped a couple kits, obviously I've panel lined them.
What's the next step and how do I do it?
I'm guessing what comes next is hand painting details.Airbrushing is totally out of question since I don't have either the money nor the place to do that, sadly.
>>13805330
I get it
>>13805351
seam welding, using putty, painting
is illonoise having snow problems too?
>>13805368
I don't.
>>13805405
Watch Build Fighters Tri then.
It's literally Gunpla the anime.
>>13805412
I've watched Try though.

>>13803354
i don't have any backlog. but i feel like i should. is something wrong with me guys?
>>13805776
If they do the GP01 2.0 they might as well do the GP02.
MG Dendrobium with a GP03 2.0 would be nice while we are dreaming.
>>13806173
I don't have a backlog either. I hate the idea of having paid for something and not be 'using' it, because it feels like wasted money, so I only buy new kits after finishing my current ones.
I'm new to this and I was thinking of getting these 1/144 HGs:
Zudah, Astraea, Zeta, Wing, Victory
Are these alright for a beginner?
>>13806287
yeah same. 1 MG/month is a decent enough pace for me because i only work on them during weekends. i don't paint, but i do line and decal my kits up so topcoats are necessary. also i'd like to keep doing this until the long foreseeable future so i try to keep this pace to avoid running out of kits to build. i mean, bandai doesn't exacly spurt a new MG every month, but older kits still do exist in abundance.
>>13806332
>>13806258
>MG dendrobium
as much as i want to see it happen, no.
the HG is big enough as it is, i wouldn't even have space for an MG of that in my house.
>>13806351
What kind of communist dicksucking milksop doesn't want a MG Dendrobium?
Is the only airplane kit from gundam the RG Sky Grasper?

>>13806258
>>13806364
somebody scratch-built a 1/100 dendrobium before. shit belongs in a museum or something. look at the size of that thing
>>13806370
aaaaand i went full retard
My HGUC Jegan arrived today. Man this kit is super poseable. I would definitely recommend it.
>>13806368
I think there's a UC Hardgraph of the Core Fighter.
Has anyone built frame arms Rapiere? I'm building her and I can't for the life of me fit A2-12/A2-11 on.
>>13806432
Actually nevermind me I'm apparently retarded.
>>13806402
It just got a reprint today according to the January release pastebin.
>>13806292
I'd pick the astraea over everything else since it's the most modern of the lot. The zudah is neat but all those verniers and rounded parts will probably look like shit if you don't have any experience.
>>13806537
Alright, thanks
It's the one I want the most so I'm still gonna get it but I guess I'll leave building it until later on when I'm more experienced
>>13806537
>I'd pick the astraea over everything else since it's the most modern of the lot
Except Victory is the most modern
????
Howdy Gunpla/Plamo General!
I am my first Gunpla today. I saw Barbatos at my local hobbyshop for 13 dollars and decided why the fuck not. Do I have any skill/hope in this hobby or are the HG Wing Fenice and the RG RX78GP01 truly fucked when they arrive in the mail?
>>13806636
*I built my first Gunpla today.
Jesus Christ I am not Setsuna.
>>13806636
>>13806643
>I am my first Gunpla
>I am Gunpla
Teach us oh Plamor.
In all seriousness, it's a decent first attempt with no noticeably large nubs or similar problems from what I see. Look into panel lining and topcoat, read the guide and please resize future images.
>>13806537
...Dude what, the HGAC Wing and HGUC Victory are waaaay newer than Astraea
>>13806351
Punk
Dendrobium is the best. You make room.
>>13806622
>>13806729
he didn't say "new", guys. he said "modern", which i think refers more to the design than the actual build.

Shit, you should go put them around your city/town/mudhut village.
>>13807264
In a few weeks or so. I'm busy with other things.
Honestly they were pretty damn good for a 15 year old. Temped to buy a RG for shits n giggles. I got such joy out of them but stopped around sophomore year because I thought it was pretty lame.
Man, I remember reading Danny Choo's guide on how to build them. Hell, his photos and website was probably one of the coolest things in existence back in 2008-9
Seems like the forums I frequented are dead now too. Wonder what happened.
>>13807271

>>13807405
Off the top of my head...
I've got a Blue Destiny Unit 2 with some parts built, should have all the pieces, in the box. Barely touched. Bought it on preorder, forgot about it, showed up fairly recently.
-HGUC Zaku II, sorta snapfitted together. Main unit is slightly assembled I think.
A GNX that has a candy apple green paint job, that's semi complete. Apple green was a Tamiya spray can. All other parts were coated with flat topcoat. I think it needs another leg and the lower torso to be built.
I want to say some of the Gundam 00 series mechs, and a few other older MGs that were cheapo.
I'll probably throw them on ebay.
Anyone have a MG GM Ground type they can talk about and show off?
Like, how are the shoulder and hip joints? Will I have to dab a tiny bit of glue to keep them nice and tight?
>>13807454
Also, side note: The blue destiny units are hands down my favorite Gundams ever- They just look aesthetically pleasing and the story is crazy.
>>13807475
I'm a big fan of them as well. I think my BD2 came out pretty nice, but not so much for my BD1 since I got it a lot earlier in my gunpla building days because of how much I like it and foolishly tried to flat coat when it was way too cold outside. After I get through a chunk of my backlog I'll probably order another one to do it justice since the BD1 is my favorite out of all of them. I really wish a 1/100 BD1 would come out to go with the R/E100 Efreet coming out that I'm definitely gonna be picking up.
