***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 expereinced, 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.

I'd like to apologize to /m/ for another /gpg/ thread but this is the only way to attempt to halt the shitposting menace until the new janitors are deployed.

Yeah, reviews of the Hyakuri and Hyakuren.
Hyakuri's got shieldfists. Hyakuren has knuckle guards. Apparently Jupiter likes to go all in.
>>13494086
I wasn't sure about the line, but this one I will buy, come hell or high water.
>Flying punchrobot
Guess what arrived!!
>>13494096
An image rotator?
>>13494086
Gonna have to find a way to remove that thruster pack whilst maintaining those awesome shoulders and head cover.

I hope there's old V-Gundam kits.
This is with my phone's flash because I can't get good lighting. The visor is more metallic than in the pic, but still a work in progress.
>>13494175 #
Damn it, wrong photo. This was before I spayed on a dullcote, and the one I'm posting now is after the spray
>>13494086
I really need all the ibo Jupiter suitsthe autism is about to hit hard
>>13494096
dragon dildos
>>13494225
thats exactly what I was thinking
Not the best G-Reco kit but not exactly awful. I took one look at the stickers for the soulders and I was like 'no.'
>>13494275
That's awesome! I'd like more pics of it, please!
>>13494289
My phone is charging right now. It also came with a campaign part but I'll just leave that on my revive.
>>13494275
>>13494289
>>13494307
It's not awesome, you're responding to yourself, and we don't give a fuck about your damn snap builds. Fuck off.

i also don't understand how you've not been banned already either
>>13494311
why not just filter his trip? That pretty much solved the problem of rampant tripfags on /v/
Anyone want to buy a Sazabi with effect parts?
What's really impressive about this kit is how much Javelin you get. It's twice the height of the kit!
>>13494275
>>13494289
I thought samefagging was just a joke until I saw this. You have part of your trip showing, but you continue talking to yourself. Fucking weirdos
>>13494321
He is the closest to shitposting within rules that anyone could be
Stop even talking about this retard. Don't even respond to people who respond to him. Ignore 100%.
>>13494328
thats so sweet, and i usually hate effect parts
>>13494156
I hope you find a way anon cause I want the same thing.
Post Zakus
>>13494364
I also have a shelf full of zeon suits but dont have a pic
>>13494364
I'll clean up my first one later today
>>13494334
wow dude! that's some awesome javelin, can you post it with more kits so we can all see the scale?!
Here's the campaign part I got, not the best one but I had no idea I'd be getting any!
I hear a lot of people talk about which acrylic airbrush paints to use.
What I don't hear is a lot of people talking which paints to NOT use. Ever. So help a noob airbrush user avert anything that would lend itself to fucking up what should come out as a beautiful paint job because of shitty paint characteristics. What should I stay away from?
>>13494399
The guide.
>>13494399
Don't bother thinking you can thin any artist store paint. It's not worth even buying.
>>13494396
Lucky! I ordered too late to be eligible for that. So does that means you just received your P-Bandai G-Self Reflector pack?
>>13494410
Can't even get samefagging right
Just got the new RX-78-2, it came with some minigun thing. This is the first kit I'm going to be putting together with proper materials (previously did 1 real grade and one 1/100 high grade without soing anything past snapping them together) and I really want to build this one now because I've been waiting a month for it. Should I save it for when my bottle of Mr Cement comes in a few weeks, or should I do it now and try using elmer's rubber cement to put things like the bazooka together?
>>13494408
Nope. It came with the Montero this week. It'll be at least another week before my Reflector gets here. Sorry about that!
Here the campaign part is stored on the back.
>>13494289
I guess even the imaginary friend of this guy dumped him
>>13494402
Yes, the guide is nice and all, and I read it because duh, that's what you're supposed to do, but I'd rather ask the actual people that use the products and judge the shit out of how well a kit is assembled, how thick the paint is applied(thin your paints) and if it's cloudy and rough or amazingly smooth because of 16 thin coats and a micropolish.
Is the HGUC Phenex worth it?
God I wish they sold the armed armor de separately
>>13494439
Pretty much any paint if thinned right can be sprayed. Enemals is really great for airbrush, any acryllic thats marketed as model paints work so stuff like humbrol, liquidex works, oil based wont
>>13494156
>>13494356
Merry Christmas!
>>13494448
>Enemals is really great for airbrush, any acryllic thats marketed as model paints work so stuff like humbrol, liquidex works, oil based wont
>enamels really great
>oil based not really great
Ok you have no fucking idea what you are talking about otherwise you would know that enamel is a type of oil based paint.
>>13494486

How retarded are you, friend?
>>13494486
my jovian brethren
>>13494487
Well forgive me for trying. Pic related, its (You)plus i kinda know what im talking about when i said oil i meant oil paints for canvas stuff
>>13494086
I wonder if there will be a lot of boobs jiggling in cockpit due to all the CQC.
Has anyone tried to convert Zaku kits into ANGRY SPESS MARINES? I am tempted to try, so I was wondering if anyone else has made the attempt.
>>13494724
Proportions are a little tall for a spess marine
>>13494724
How far do you want to go?
>>13494760
I have not really decided yet, ANGRY being the only theme I got in mind so far. I figured I would start with the new Zaku with the massive axe then paint to match the Yellow/Red scheme.
Testing out post. I was just playing with the gundam markers (pens?) I just bought. I kinda wanted to make this kit anime accurate by outlining in black. I kinda like what I see but I guess I need to put add more ink on the model.
>>13494724
Are there any Angry Spess Murinz Dreadknight Baby Carriers?
>>13494773
Woops my apologies. Lemme test if this works.
>>13494328
just the effect parts and you have a deal bby
>>13494775
I think they do, but the homebrew says it composed of many ANGRY SPESS MARINES stuck together. Icould be wrong.
>>13494364
currently have an hg johnny ridden that I really wanted for a while and now have some time on my hands, but no urge to build it. oddly enough I ordered an hg z'gok and can't wait for that to come and build right away, even though it wasn't on my to-build-list

Well, that's most of the reason why people would buy them...
There's also this.

We want the big fuck hueg shoulders, head cover, and those chest in-takes. Don't want the giant fuck hueg back that comes with it.
>>13495021
Question, are these all made already or just simple backlog you wanted to let go?
>>13495141
People always ask this and I always have to laugh at it. Why would I sell completed kits? Nah I had a shit load of money and decided to buy everything I wanted. Where I'm going I can't take kits so I'm selling my backlog.
>>13495090
Someone else has a cute portent-chan too. Post that shit.
>>13495081
the heads look really familiar
>just ordered HGUC Garma and Char's Zakus, and am going to get a regular one + Gouf soon
when will i stop being a sucker for old UC kits
>>13495159
It looks like an armored core head or something from srw. Cant put my tongue on it but it does look familiar. Gnx from OO maybe?
Just finished top-coating for the first time. Used the Tamiya flat coat on most of the parts that aren't gold. Shit looks way better now, holy shit.
For the gold parts, should I leave it as it is? I'm not dumb enough to flat coat it. But should I go get myself some Gloss coat and go with it? Or do I need some kind of special shit for the coated parts?
>>13495191
I'd gloss coat the gold, for the shine and added protection for piece of mind
>>13495207
Would this do?
>>13494156
>>13494356
Unfortunately, going by the manual and runners it looks like you'd need to cut off most of the backpack if you just want the cover/intakes/shoulders. Shame, because the main body looks a bit naked without them.
>>13495230
We will find a way.
>>13495230
Time to get out some saws and cement.
>>13495230
The shoulders look simple enough, considering they're a seperate part
That headcover though
>>13495230
I mean if you REALLY wanted, I guess you could alwaysYour son is the villain you either have to kill him or nuke boston in fallout 4.
>>13495253
Are you in the right thread?
>>13495228
Semi gloss would probably give the same look as if it were just oob. Use it if you like the look of it now bare. Check the topcoating link from the guide for a good comparison which uses spoons and different top coats.
>>13495253
That spoiler,Ha fuck you I already finished the main quests and I made peace with my son as he dies of cancer
>>13495230
I saw the sticker sheet for it and damn am I disappointed

>>13495253
It's a good thing that part of Fallout 4's plot was ridiculously predictable.
>>13495313
Maybe at the other house. I sold most of mine awhile back.
>>13495309
That one just plain isn't true, Luke is played by Hamill and Kylo by Driver
Surprised you ran out already
>>13495499
Thats one of the huge rumors is either that or him being hans kids
Dont really care since it looks like crap
>>13495595
He's Han's son, it's pretty obvious, they got an actor with similar features to Ford for a reason
It looks better than it has any right to, frankly

>>13495639
To be honest i dont think that the new people coming in asking about airbrush stuff really know what theyre doing. That dude got pissed off since we had know clue exactly on how to help fix it, then the dude in this thread earlier asking about paints. Pretty sure the guide and some common sense would kinda help
>>13495639
did you even look at the pic?Your a retard asshole
>>13495684
Not him but it looked like someone took apart an airbrush
>>13495684
There seems to be a disassembled airbrush, I believe it is a Badger 105. You might want to put it together before pouring any paint into the cup.
Anyone tried kitbashing a Hyakuren ( IBO Samurai-looking suit) and Miss Sazabi? I plan on ordering one tomorrow but I would like to take a look at it first.
>>13495191

>>13495755
I am the other anon that we build the DM Akatsuki along each other. Is the Shiki better or worse compared to DM's Akatsuki?
>>13495940
mmmm I don't think if that is a fair comparison, given how bare bones the Shiki is, as it only comes with the rifle and bazooka
the Akatsuki on the other hand comes with a whole lot more shit: 2 complete backpacks, shield, and crazy beam effect parts, however the hips joints are complete shit, so in stability the Hyaku Shiki wins hands down
there is also the issue of the gold coating, I found the Shiki to be uneven in some areas, almost becoming silver, but the Akatsuki was more uniform
so i was dusting off my shelves today and decided to display all my 1/72 and 1/144 planes together. i forgot how much fun i had building these little things, and they were so damn cheap.
I think I'm going to count this as my first real attempt at gunpla, seeing as it's the best one so far. I fucked the sticker up a bit and went overboard on the weathering, but oh well.
>>13496068
>Those sneaky little VFs hiding amongst the crowd
How about some detail shots?
>>13496152
I think I'd have to wait until there's sunlight to take pictures, this phone's camera is shit and I don't have a lot of light sources. And honestly, I think the bluriness makes it look better, or at least hides the fuckups enough to make it look a step above "horrible".

>this phone's camera is shit
thats from a $1000 Canon DSLR.
>>13496413
Oh. I stand corrected then.
>>13496417
I can;t believe I payed so little attention as to ask that rando about your kits. Anyway, My earlier questions still stand about closeups and VF/Mave kit quality, and if the VF transforms.
>>13496417
>tfw dslr but shaky hands
I can't ever take fucking pictures without the camera shaking like a crack addict.
>>13496424
the Mave kit is great, very sharp casting and the assembly is a bit more like a gundam kit than a regular plane model. however it is molded in all-grey and a decal sheet from hell so building and paint this thing is not for the faint of heart.
>>13496424
the VF-27 is fully transformable but there is too much paint and decals to risk the damage that much movement might cause. it is fully painted inside and out and would probobly look pretty good in Battleroid mode.
>>13496430
ill admit its not a very good picture for that camera, lighting was meh and i didnt change any of the settings to improve the sharpness and aperture.

Another Hyakuren review.
Anybody got the Bandai monthly restock pastebin on them? I wanted to see when the Adele restocks.
Maybe we should start putting it in the OP.
>ship everything in my private warehouse
>hyakuren releases less than twelve hours later
Well, I guess it gives me time to decide if I want the Hyakurei or not. Given the price, the answer is probably yes.
The way the Hyakuren looks, I expect it to open its mouth and shoot vulcans out of it or something. Which reminds me, why don't IBO suits have vulcans?
>>13496968
Because vulcans are too common nowadays.
>>13496968
Nano-laminate armour reducing the effectiveness of low-calibre weaponry to near zero, probably. Even the Graze's rifle bullets were just bouncing off whatever they hit.
We also don't seem to have many missile-based weapons as of yet which are the other justification for a backup weapon.
>>13496973
Last week's episode preview had shots of the Barbatos being all fucked up in the middle of a cloud of smoke.
I assume those are missiles at work.
>>13496973
Vulcans would be extremely useful against small targets, though. Imagine if the Grazes had had vulcans in the first episode. CGS would have gotten rekt.
>>13496977
Each round from a Graze would absolutely shred a mobile worker. The bullets are each about as large or larger than than a modern day MBT cannon.
>>13496678
I gave up painting the inside of the thruster with the small black triangle and just made it like this.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but which company puts out the best F-14 models?
This is a PSA reminding you to make sure that your Frame Arms Girl eats regularly. FAG anorexia is a serious issue that can result in your Gourais and Stylets becoming spooky robot skeletons.

I'll start. Recently just got a shipment from HLJ in, so I had to split it up into two parts. Working on a HGUC Zeek Mk. I but had to pause it because work is starting to pick up since, here in the GLORIOUS US OF GODDAMN A, it's getting close to the holiday season.

What are some good Hi-Mock customs I'm trying to make a Votoms like one.
>>13497512
Different guy, but you really do
and I'm ok with that. I really need to make my own custom one day, I got this Gaplant Hrairoo+Barbatos idea brewing in my head right now
Initially, the barbatos design did not appeal to me, however it grew on me after a while.
Using pink gundam marker for the markings worked out pretty well, the stickers look shit house. The black stickers in particular are annoying, but not anything that cant be solved by painting if they decide to peel off. To be honest, I should start buying actual acrylic paints in the future.
Either way, gud build

>>13497662
no, its not bandai's, that one is chrome plated
this is a Master Grade level model made by Dragon Momoko, which includes a inner frame, plenty of extras and waterslides, but the gold is not chromed, it look as if you sprayed it with tamiya gold paint
>>13497649
>worked out pretty well
Anon, I have some bad news for you.
>>13497649
If you are gonna buy acrylic paint and gonna be hand brushing areas, avoid any gloss paints because they never go on well because of the gloss. I am just about to give up on using this white acrylic I have and just get a rattle can
>>13497688
Thanks, duly noted
Are white paint usually not effective on gunpla? I read that priming the area before using white paint is the only way to get it to work.
>>13497684
You're right anon, I rushed it a bit.
Ill do it tomorrow since I need sleep.

I'm looking to pick up a new MG soon, what are the better Feddie grunt suits that have kits?
>>13497768
MG Nemo
>>13497768
Rezels.
>>13494486
looks like an armored core head, can't unsee it
>>13496739
dynamic angle absolute static pose, i like it. there should be more of this.
So this is next week.
Has Derringer said anything?Do we have to do the summoning ritual?
>>13497713
Just the gloss arylic as I think they are more formulated to be sprayed on than brushed on. Might have something to do with the fact that it is just flat paint mixed with gloss paint
Flat goes on better because it does not have gloss
>>13497868
How big will the price markup be for any kit that comes out of this? Now that I got an income, I want to get a exclusive kit
So someone was able to fix super blunder by making it into a better girl
>>13497921
Can you stop trying to push "super blunder"
It sounds so dumb and lame it's easy to tell you're the only one saying it.

The face of a real women, not some soulless reaper
>>13497934
I'm the one who first started saying it. So you're wrong, there's at least two people saying it.
>>13497921
But can she hit anything with that giant gun on her back?
>>13497921
>>13497935
Still looks pretty shitty.
>>13497935
Nice ass.
>>13497942
Yea she has all the weapons from her zaku
>>13497949
Still looks better than what it was made from(You) are butthurt
>>13497961
It definitely looks better, but looking better than garbage doesn't take much of an improvement.
>>13497957
Luna always had a nice ass.
It's really saying something that in order to make Super Fumina better, the guy had to do a total head swap.
>>13497970
Still better than settling for garbage.
One thing i like that its a Luna custom, outta all the ms girls shes like the oddman out
>>13497981
All it says is that bandai can not do anime girl faces. Mecha mutsume showed it
Oh boy oh boy I wonder what it is
>>13498108
2 MGs?
>>13498110
I don't know if the beam gatlings count, but they're MG size, so you're half right......I think
>>13498108
two shipments? wouldn't it have been cheaper to do one?
>>13498116
The beam gatlings and jigen haoh hands hit their automatic deadline before I ordered the burning Kamiki and Barbatos but yes you're right, it would have been cheaper
>>13497921
>>13497935
I want it
>someone broke into my house while I was at work
>don't own a PS4, XBone, or really anything of value, since I keep my laptop in my car and most of my money goes to rent, gunpla and food.
>mad there's nothing to steal, proceeds to smash and break most of my displayed gunpla with a chair from the kitchen, steals a bunch of silverware, breaks three windows and takes a shit in the living room
The worst part is the local cops won't really do anything about it. I mean, if they even bother to look for the guy, and that's a super big IF cause the cops are all corrupt and lazy as hell here, because of over crowding he'll just spend at most a few hours in the city jail before being released. There's like no incentive to not commit crime in my city, because so long as it's not a felony they can't really hold you in jail for longer then a few hours.
And now I'll get the "joys" of spending hours trying to convince my insurance company that my gunpla should be covered under renter's insurance.
which is the better value, the RG or PG Strike Freedom? RG has a big selection of third-party wing effects, but PG has none.
>>13498264
RG.
>>13498256
Spend the next few paychecks on a pistol, training, and permits.
>>13498256
If the police are just going off of "someone broke into my house please catch him" then there really isn't mcuh to do except wait for him to get caught from something else and have their finger prints connect them to your crime.
>>13498256
Pics?
So for airbrush, which would you go for, iwata or patriot?
I'm still really new so I wanted to ask, is it okay to just panel line, minor detail work, waterslides/stickers and then top coat? I'm not in a good housing area for priming or using an airbrushand my roommates are being massive cunt about it.
>>13498543
Gunpla is freedom, anon. As long as you don't nub it up and thin your paints, it's your circus. Why do you care what us bunch of autists think anyway?
>>13498551
I just want it to look decent when I take photos of them.
>>13498560
As long as you don't royally blow it, that'll look fine.
>>13498560
They'll look fine. Over time they'll look better as you improve the whole process.
>>13498256
u live in da h00d?
>>13498543
I say go for it. Or maybe even try hand painting anon. I mean, what's the worse that can happen?
Pic related.
That.
But seriously, so long as you make an effort and aren't a shitposting scumbucket you'll be a-okay.
>>13497957
>scratched paint on elbow joint
>>13498528
Iwata by far
Like after you prime do you put new masking tape? Before a topcoat? I don't know when. I want to use spray cans by the way.
>>13498256
That's terrible. I am sorry anon.
Gunpla can be rebuilt. (I sure hope that sounds nice)
>>13498908
Alright looks like i gotta wait till next paycheck
I am not happy there are no 1/100 he ate jinham or MA kits released from reco .>>13494275
Dafuq is even going on? Colors are nice but everything is really not needed
>>13499110
do people seriously not thin their paints? what are they thinking?
>>13497868
We're going to get Unicorn Gundam 04, a custom from BF OVA
>>13499120
I got it from gunpla noobs, idk if they even know about thinning
>want to build something
>only thing I've got unbuilt is a sengoku astray

JESUS CHRIST ASTRAYS ARE FUCKING UGLY AS GODDAMN SHIT
>>13497674
Oh ok so there's only an MG made by Dragon Mamoko. So do you think that bandai's HG is just better color wise? I really like the proportions of the one you posted, but the DM prices i've seen are super high, like $60-70.
>>13499152

To be fair, this apparently happened while the guy wasn't actually at home, nor do we know if he's in the US or a gun-owner friendly state.
Plus, what about rebuilding his collection?

Pretty sure insurance companies only exist in America.

>>13499440
>huge backlogs
Just give me the kits you don't want anymore
Whats the rarest/expensive kit in your backlog? For me i think its the pale rider. Havent found the want to build itand dont plan on selling it
>>13499596
FAG Stylet.
>>13499546
You flaming homosexual how dare you take my answer
>>13499538
Actual no backlog anon here, with the astray to prove it, I would love the HGUC Gouf or Zaku II
>>13499590
If I didn't want it, I wouldn't have bought it.
>>13499596
Probably my GN Archer.
>>13499607
Oh. Well, post your email then.
>>13499596
MG Crossbone X-2, X-3, and RG Z3
>>13499596
Gn archer and nobel gundam probably. I bought a really rare kit for someone from fried for 70 dollars but that nignog never even built it. All well.
>>13499607
Why would you want HG Gouf when it sucks and Revive Gouf is around the corner?
>>13499630
it has a snout made for sucking feddie beam sabers
>new to gunpla
>only have a Zaku II
How do you even get a backlog? Do you just order a bunch at once and not get around to building them all?
>>13499630
cause I'm gay and really like shitty UC kits, it's some fucked up addiction i have, i really can't explain it
>>13499640
in the long run, it's cheapest to buy in bulk from store like hlj or amiami. so why not buy all, or most, of the kits you want to build.
>>13499641
Goufs are okay. I assume you're making some sort of Gouf Troop with the original Gouf, a Gouf Custom and a Proto Gouf?If not, you should.
>>13499596
1/144 Dijeh, I guess. Not really expensive, but it was hard to find a non-ridiculously price gouged one for a while even on Mandarake, although they now have one for sale.
>>13499640
For me, it's pretty much like this.
>Order a kit that I like
>I really like this kit, I don't want to do a straight OOB build
>Decide to wait until I have free time to build it the way I want
>Never get that free time/squander that free time on other hobbies
>Find another model that I like
>The cycle continues
>>13499624
Yeah I'm not buying you anything. FK did his good deed for the day.
>>13499674
No worries I got him. Thanks again mate.
Why can't more kits come with simple action bases like this?
>>13499674
>>13499677
Is this a thing that normally happens? Buying other people gunpla?
>>13499709
All the time.
>>13499714
I wish I had gotten into gunpla earlier.
There seem to be a lot of chill people.
>>13499709
Fairly often. /gpg/ is surprisingly generous. Though /toy/'s /gpg/ is even more so, being that there's more people there.
>>13499709
Only faggots on /toy/
>>13499723
>More people in the slower thread
Um
>>13499721
Gunpla is balm for autism, seriously.
You'd get better effects for "autism" if every kid was given an MG instead of drugs.
>>13499776
We have more shitposting. They have more actual people. That's the only reason these threads are faster. If you remoed the shitposting, we'd be much slower then /toy/'s thread, with the vast majority of threads falling off the board before hitting auto-sage.
>>13499596
Cathedral gundam...kinda love the spare parts because I used them to customize my denial
>>13499792
You must be new, even before the shitposting the threads were faster.
>>13499809
You must have came to these threads when shitposting was at an all time high.
>>13499828
>when shitposting was at an all time high
it still is
So if I'm just starting gunpla and I've already assembled one model, now that I understand the basics is there any reason to not just start buying whatever looks cool?
>>13499860
Money. Money is usually the reason to not just start buying whatever looks cool.
Cause then you'll wind up like that one anon who used his rent money to buy gunpla and got evicted. Apparently landlords don't accept gunpla as a form of payment.
Does anyone have a guide to making LED units? I can't find the red unit online and it seems like it'd be a lot cheaper to just make my own.
>>13499860
just do it. after your first build you should understand the basics on gunpla building.
>>13499873
I'm not dumb enough to blow ALL my money on gunpla.
I'm only just getting into it anyways.
I'm hesitant about getting more than two at a time
>>13499873
>Cause then you'll wind up like that one anon who used his rent money to buy gunpla and got evicted.
When did this happen?
>>13499933
Doubt it's true but it makes for a funny screencap.
>>13499905
There's nothing wrong with buying two at a time. Just make sure to build them as you recieve them. Then you can make them do all sorts of silly poses.
>>13499942
Oh yeah I remember that.
that guy was a retard
>>13499952
I wonder if they broke his fingers, he hasnt posted in a while
>>13499942
I'm pretty sure it's fake I'm the first poster in that screencap and and I remember that thread and the guy who was really in the hotel said something otherwise.
I'm pretty sure the whole story is fake.
It's good to only buy two at a time. I wish I'd thought of that. I kind of went all-in on gunpla while working and at one point had a backlog of 40 kits.
It's like a cycle. You buy when you have money. Then you get laid off or are in school or something and you get through them pretty fast and wish you had money to get more, but you don't.
>>13499709
Well if it makes you feel any better that guy never replied to me so if you want an Ortega Use HM Zaku II lemme know.
Ok so I got my barbatos in the mail and I need some opinions guys
I plan on using the Barbatos and kitbashing it with the Gaplant Hrairoo I got, but I'm not sure what parts to use. I would like to use the Gaplant chest on the barbatos for like a high speed version or whatever. My only problem is I already know that gaplant chest has a different pegs for arms cause it has the male pegs and the barbatos chest has the female pegs.
So if I used the Gaplant chest like I wanted, I would "most likely" have to use the arms as well. What do you guys think?
>>13499986
No there were 2 guys in a hotel, the second said he was coming back from a work trip while the other was an idiot
>>13499947
>silly poses
Why else would I be buying gunpla
>>13500003
Sure.[email protected]
Also I'm trying to get rid of nubs but this nail file isn't working so well. Should I just buy an xacto knife?
>>13499828
No, he's entirely right
>>13500008
Try to get the HG Customize Campaign Parts Set A.
It comes with adapters.
>>13500003
>guy who never replied to me
sengoku guy? if it was, i never got an email somy non 4chan email is [email protected]i shouldn't have made it that
>>13500036
Xacto knife is like essential for gunpla, faggot. Get that and some varying grits of sandpaper.
You can buy a knife set and set of sanding pads of like 10 different grits off Amazon for 30 bucks.
>>13500048
How's it going Miles?
>>13499699
A PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY EARNED
>>13500048
Alright. So it was someone else. I'll send you one too.
>>13500053
pretty good
:^)
>>13500049
Fair enough. There are some hobby stores near me so I'll probably just pop by those. I might look to find some of that matte cover stuff
>>13500075
I recommend getting the regular triangle blades and the small chisel type blades. The other blades are all situational and you'll likely never use them, but those two are pretty much essential.
The chisel blade makes de-nubbing easy and the triangle blades do whatever the chisel can't and handle delicate work.
You need a knife, nippers, and sandpaper to make gunpla. Minimum.
>>13500008
I would say drill a hole but I'm not sure how the arm connector looks or if you have the wiggle room to drill.
>>13500091
Thanks. I'll keep my eye out for those then.
I already had the nippers from other hobbies.
>>13499110
Here comes an influx of over-dakka'd over backpack'd mechs due to Thunderbolt anime.

>>13500138
Whats sad is the dude made it before the announcement, but yea were gonna see alot of those
>>13500188
I somehow ended up with two sets of those and kinda lost the runners
Anyone here built a Koto HMM Z-knight yet? I just bought this off of Amazon for $20.
>>13500234
hope you like painting, gluing, and using future to get the joints just right.
Did somebody call for more Dakka?
>>13500413
No, go away.Just kidding. Is that from the SD or 1/550 Dendrobium ?
Should I just stop here, clean up and paint, or mod more?
>>13500525
It looks decent, actually. That's not a Striker GM double saber in her hands, is it? I think you should give her a double saber instead of whatever that is.
>>13500573
It's the Unite sword with some minor modification.
>>13500592
Well, if you can try giving her the double saber. You might find it looks better on her.
>>13500611
Why two sabers when you can have one big ass sword? I don't get you.
>>13500647
A big sword is more sword, but two swords is TWICE THE SWORD
DOUBLE YOUR SWORD TODAY
was thinking about getting the Elf Bullock. is the HG any good? looks awesome.
>>13500806
If you like the design it's good
If you don't you might be a bit disappointed by the articulation in some spots
You seem to like it though, so go for it
>>13500726
Two swords is not always better than one though. Think of guns for example, a MG/AR > two pistols, or 88mm cannon > two MGs, etc
>>13500818
Swords don't use the same metric as guns
A big cannon is more gun than two machine guns, but two swords is more sword than one big sword
What is the best RX-78-2 on the market?And what's the best SD version?
>>13500834
Err, I guess the Ex-Standard would look the best from the front.

Unless your big sword has smaller sword coming out of it.

*sweatdrop
Apparently Gundamplanet is about an hour from my place and they're having an in-store event sale on Nov 28 for Small Business Saturday. Anyone know if their past events have been good? I'm teetering on the edge of grabbing a Hyaku Shiki 2.0 and the Mega-Shiki from HLJ's sale but I might wait for this if the discounts are decent enough.
Broke down and bought the 1/60 Helldiver on the HLJ sale. Have the Ingram MG and I'm curious about the 1/48 Live action but but damn, those 1/60 ingrams look atrocius
>>13497593
You've been talking about it and talking about it. I'm fucking hyped to see it. You better not back out of it.
>>13498264
Always pick the RG.
RG are always the definitive versions of their gunpla.
Have you all raised your Flag recently?
Has anyone made that joke yet? A Flag on a stick being held by the Barbatos?
Considering picking this guy up.
Anyone have the RG 00 Raiser? If so, any opinions, and maybe things to watch out for?
>>13500834
The best SD RX-78 is eitherLegend BB Musha Gundam or Sangokuden Shin Goka Ryuso Ryubi
>>13501226

>>13501546

>>13501489
Eyelashes are kind of thick, and it looks weird from any angle except dead-on.
I think the biggest problem with the Fuminer is it's smile. Just looks uncanny as fuck.
>>13501553
>i dont own a screwdriver
>>13501546
I'll 'ave you know I'm a leak, not a hamburger.
And that first screw just won't fit properly, even using a screwdriver. Let's just hope it works well enough without it for the time being.
Is there a way to fix bubbles in a paint job by handpainting?
First time spraying and I got quite a lot of them. I popped some but then it's pretty hard to get the now exposed part of the model at the same color level than the rest of the piece. Should I just start over?
>>13501553
>>13501574
Yea start over.
>>13494886
Hey, I sent you an email a while ago, you never replied.

All RG shoulders are fragile because of their design and unless they make the Shoulder frame joints more thicker. This will happen.
I have the RG strike and the shoulder joints are broke to the point I threw them out and just connected the arm directly to the swing joint

Okay I will remove the post but I still want to know what the guy was saying.
I wish Dalong did his detailed number score/stars type rating system for HGs.
Any tip and what scriber I should buy/avoid?

So glad I didn't waste money on this pile of shit. I wouldn't be surprised if dalong commits sudoko over this bullshit.
Does anyone know if the information in the Hyakuren manual has been translate yet?
>>13502124
Hyakuren is based on the design plan of a high output machine designed during the late stage of the Calamity wars. Teiwaz got hold of the plan and took a long time to complete the frame. As the suit used Ahab reactors from the ancient times, it cannot be said to be a machine made completely by Teiwaz. It is an important machine as it is a frame completed in recent years outside of Gjallarhorn. The fact that the machine has not entered mass production showed how difficult development of the frame was. The 44 machines made so far primarily operates in the Asteroid belt and debris region, and are equipped with heavy armor. The suit has strong performance in close combat, and its weapons are designed for a balance between ranged and close combat. It is a general purpose machine unhindered by the environment. The suit is a symbol of Teiwaz in the outer sphere.
The suit was designed for all-round usage. It is an excellent machine that display its performance in the tough space environment like the debris region.
The blade and its sheath can also be mounted on Hyakuri’s backpack. The rifle cannon is a light rifle, and has a sliding stock structure at the rear.

You know that those stickers are just for the face and the spats
You dont really need to use the stickers aside the eyes
>>13502149
Thanks
>>13501991
are you just hamhanded or something? I've never had any problem with those joints on RGs at all.
>>13502253
No because the joints are not designed anything like a HG or a MG
You will have problems if you are new the Gunpla.
Not saying I would not buy RGs but I regret making it my 3rd gundam
Kit history was HG Zaku Amazing, MG V-Dash Ver Ka., and last was RG Strike

no problem good citizen

Is there an efficient way to paint gundam eyes when there's the black part around the eye and a differently colored rim along with the faceplate?
(ie, rx-78-2 with the red rim and white faceplate as once piece together with the eyes)

Treat the joints like figmas and less like them Marvel/DC action figures. Put your finger over the joint area to guide and restrict the movement to avoid stressing the plastic. Do not move the body part at the very end of the piece like some fulcrum/lever.

Yes. You can assume that if someone new to a hobby will not fuck up despite all the times other people have suggested people to no go big on their first builds.
You need better bait than that
