Gunpla/Plamo General

>>13555083
Thank you anon for making a real thread

I'm honestly getting tired of shitpost-kun's bullshit

Hitting up a couple of local places tonight and tomorrow for black friday deals. The local overpriced comic shop is having a 40% off sale on models and figures while the hobbyshop with better prices which never has black friday sales is doing 20% off.

It was dead in the last bread too.

How's the O Gundam kit? I was thinking about trying to get it and Exia REII

Hey guys /m here. I know you really love your gunpla and by all means post here, but try to keep your threads down to what's necessary please. There's 4 Gunpla threads up at the same time.

Thanks for your consideration,
the rest of /m/

>>13555155
Normally I'd be apologetic for this, but go fucking yell at the asshole who keeps making bullshit threads with his shitposting instead of the actual generals. The only thread this one pushed off was another dead general so there was literally nothing lost.

>>13555166

I honestly believe at this point that the guys who come in here saying "hey losers why do you spam 5 gunpla threads?" is shitposter in disguise.

>>13555150
>How's the O Gundam kit?

Actually pretty great. Much better than the exia RII.

>>13555129
Right now I would give it to one of the Graze. The frame is even better than on the Barbatos and because its a simpler design it has less color apps everywhere that require painting.

>>13555166
It's the shitposter. Notice how he only posts this in this thread and not the clearly spam threads?

Quick question for you guys, how long will a bottle of 10mL tamiya enamel last if I were painting armor for an MG? I went straight from snapbuilds to lacquer and I never had to use it before and I need a base coat for candycoating.

It sounds like you want a final battle set, but consider getting the rollout ver 0 Gundam instead, for the sick WoL that the regular one doesn't come with.
Other than that though, it has pretty solid engineering, as it lacks the balljoint style legs that came with some 00 kits.
Unfortunately every Exia kit except ameijin inherits this problem, so the R2 is gonna have some wonkier engineering, including those infuriating shoulder-chest pieces AND ball jointed legs.

Cool, it's a simple design but I like it, nice to hear the kit is solid.
>>13555229
>consider getting the rollout ver 0 Gundam instead,
I actually had for that exact reason.
As for the joints, I was figuring I'd put them on stands anyway. Thanks.

Say, if I got both versions of O since it's so cheap, would the "wings" be able to be affixed to the final version easily enough? I mean I could always do a little work myself, but just curious.
I know it's not true to form, but rule of cool.

>>13555261
They are the exact same mold, so yes. The rollout version came with the wings, the other one came with the condenser parts.

Luckily I'm in Japan right now or else I'd be platinum mad fucking hell

>>13555269

>>13555275
Please ignore the shitposter.

>>13555261
Yes, the only work it would require is swapping some backpack pieces, because Rolloutver uses a different kind of GN drive backpiece that only comes with that version of the kit

What's the better place to get gunpla or even chogokins, amiami or HLJ?

Is panel lining with Tamiya enamel on Tamiya acrylic risky?

>>13555368
Obviously, is gonna melt the plastic you retard

You have use thinner and a little coal dust to get a nice shine

guess I'm going to buy that TV instead

>>13555385
It's enamel over acrylic. How will that melt the plastic unless you drench it with thinner?

>>13555368
If you dont topcoat the acrylic, it will react with the enamel. Fucking things up

>>13555452
Even with lighter fluid? Some of the tutorials I've read didn't use a clear coat

Dammit, you got me again HLJ. And before anyone says it, I know the quality sucks, and the gelgoog is so I can steal the bazooka an backpack for my HGUC gelgoog and repaint it.

Bandai please just a quick reprint of the g gundam kits please it won't be that much

>>13555460
You dont use clear coat on bare plastic, its unnecesary, you use it to protect the paint you are panel washing on

>>13555460
Not with lighter fluid. But enamel paint and enamel thinner itself will erase acrylic.

I dunno how would you do a wash without enamel thinner. (Never tried lighter fluid though, just used it for erasing botched enamel paint)

>>13555226
10mL will last a very long time out of an airbrush with proper technique. I can't tell you "four HGs" because there are so many variables, but a few drops of paint goes a long way.

>>13555425
um this looks hype as fuck buddy. What type of paints are you using? Super smooth.

>>13555496
>>13555460
Lighter fluid acts as thinned but just for some minutes, after you panelwash the panel lines it will evaporate and leave the enamel paint on its place, really easy method and even better than using enamel thiner

I'm still here and still have it, actually. The person that was going to buy it never emailed me back. I was going to sell it to him for 30, I think. I can't remember.
I'd much rather just trade it for another kit or something, but nobody has any of the G Gundam kits.

Oh also, hobbywave is having 15% on up to ten items.
And they also have one of those SD bound docs. I think I'll get one.

I'm curious, now that Bandai makes kits using that poly whatever plastic instead of whatever they used before and abs, are all versions of previous kits now made using the new stuff? For example, mg oyw rx-78-2 has abs leg frame, is this now new plastic?

>>13555823
Thanks anon

>>13555850
>are all versions of previous kits now made using the new stuff?
No. Old kits use old plastic formulas. The tolerances of the old kits would be quite different with new material anyways so it's not so simple as swapping in the new soft ABS.

>>13555502
Thanks, i've been using gaia notes

star bright brass for the yellow
star bright copper then clear orange for the orange
star bright iron for the hands, except the articulated one isnt painted.

and gloss black for the base coat and for the feet and skirt

>>13555902
What kits still use ABS?

I have to say, this is probably the worst black friday I have ever seen. Not just in terms of gunpla, but everything. Sales are small, everywhere opened extra early, and places are closing by 1 am.

Still gotta do the wings and the weapon.
Is there any way to make stuff look similar to clear plastic without it just being clear plastic? To emulate beam weaponry, or is that just impossible?

26KB, 500x158px

>>13556032
ABS is what the inner frame of most MGs is made of.

Hell this runner in the MG Gundam 1.5 is the only ABS in the kit and it is from a kit from 2002, The RGs probably derived their casting method from it.

>>13556154
Is there any way to make a wall see-through like glass without making the wall out of glass?

>>13556035
I think I'd do the lining first cause if one of the decals/stickers goes over a line it'd look awful if you tried to line over it I bet

>>13556173
I didn't mean take a piece of plastic and make it literally see-through, just something that looks somewhat similar.

>>13556180
what the fuck there is nothing similar to see-through it's either see-through or it isn't

>>13556182
Sorry, I meant similar to beam weaponry.

>>13556188
so you mean shiny

>>13556192
Sort of, I guess? I could try and candy coat it maybe. I doubt there's some way to make a shimmering effect, is there? Or paint it in a way that creates that sort of illusion?

not really, RE/100s arnt released in pairs like that and the Efreet from Blue Destiny was already announced before the MS from that manga were released.

>>13556684
Re/100 is still a new line and they might be trying a new campaign to sell units.

After all the Efreet is the first of the ten? to get a kit.

Overall it feels like Bandai is making a general push with 1/100th models as well.

>>13556704
I just hope they start pumping out more 1/100 grunts which I guess is what RE100 is for as MG seems to be mostly Gundams, with Zakus of course. Not to mention I think now half are p-Bandai.

A sonar or sensor type of weapon for finding enemies.

How does wet sanding work with sanding sticks (sandpaper glued onto posicle sticks, in my case)? I've only done it with metal files. After dipping the sanding stick into water and using it for a sanding session should we throw it out?

How do you guys get rid of the remnants of nubs you've made flat, like these? They're no longer sticking upwards like a nub does, but I'm not able to get them to go away.
I'm >>13559305 and am using wet sanding stick. Going from 400 grit -> 1000 ->1500 -> 2000. Planning to prime when I'm done with snapping and welding and all, since that's certainly a factor.

>>13559482
Lick it with your tongue a lot.

>>13559487
That's a dumb way to troll, at least make it somewhatconvincing like saying I should sand super hard with a file.

>>13559482
those are stress marks

don't cut the nubs all off with your hobby knife. sand the last 10% off with sandpaper to get less marks like that on your plastic. or you can file it down all the way instead then sand away.

it won't matter if you're doing a paint job though since it'll be covered, but a bumpy nub will be obvious even through paint

>>13559494
That's what I was looking for, I appreciate it. What do you mean in term of using a file? Like, sand the whole nub flat with a file, then use lighter sanding grits to clean it off?

>>13559493
Thanks for the (You) :^)

>>13559608
it's ok. Too much footage of the actual anime, and that shit will get you in huge ass trouble with bandai/sunrise on youtube. I recommend you get rid of the footage if you can.

Also, do more research on pricing and stuff. Barnes and Noble was bound to jack up the price, but most people who are into the hobby already know about sites like hlj, etc, where they get much better prices.

You need to be super careful about that copyright shit, again, having the theme at the end might fuck you.

You had some decent line delivery, but when doing a review, focus less on jokes and more on details about the mobile suit.

When I watch a review, I look for someone to talk about the surface details, articulation, etc. The review was lacking in such detail. Good luck, anon.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the missile launcher to be on the left shoulder, with the grenade launcher held in the left hand? Then it can shoot grenades and the bazooka and missiles all at the same time.

>>13559608

My tips so far, just as a viewer
1. Get to the action, most people watching a review know why they are there, and if they want to know about you in particular, you can make a separate video

2. Spend more time on the text you put on screen, capitalizing each first letter for example, and if you have text over video, add a stroke outline so it doesn't look like MS paint come to life

3. Don't say "fucking" so much you fucking sperg, it's normal time when you're on youtube

4. Watch your video over again when you are done and say to yourself, if I didn't make this would I actively seek it out, and for what reason

>>13559642
ARMORED CORE AS FUCK

regret not picking up the EZSR during HLJ's autumn sale now

>>13559649
allright thanks man

>>13559647
I guess that'd work. I just haven't really gotten around to mounting the launcher yet, and even if I did the shoulders are interchangeable. I've been working on the sniper unit which, unfortunately, I can't show because it currently has some glue drying and I want the backpack on before I show it off.

>>13559652
There's actually no EZ-SR in there. I was going to use the Intruder backpack but it was too big with the bazooka mounted on the shoulder so I decided to give the Heavy the Graze Kai's backpack so it had some kind of booster. Thruster? Vernier? What the fuck do you call those things?

Anyway, I am giving it one of the shoulder cannons in it's load out.

so much intro, animeshit.

HG Freedom was my very first gunpla, I'm kinda tempted into picking another Freedom. RG, HGRE or wait for MG 2.0.

Your opinions are okay, but make more footage of your building process, tell us about the step by step you took to build your gunpla, what tools. etc etc

less anime footage, more pictures of your own. Instead of showing shaky videos, you should just use some well taken pictures of your own.

At very last, good job with your first review video, keep doing it and improving.

>>13559663
your graze just reminded me of EZ-SR is all

>I assume this means I have succeeded?

if you're into AC only 4 and For Answer though, not that ACV shit

I've tried the AC games and I can't seem to figure them out at all. I should really commit some time to figuring it out because they seem really fun.

I wasn't really going for an AC look, I just wanted a Graze you wouldn't want to fuck with because it'll blow you up six ways to Sunday.

>>13559608
less talk about the anime the kit is from
more talk about the actual gunpla

I swear there was 20 seconds or less of OC footage, though it was from a shaky potato POV that didn't have the whole gunpla in view.

Probably, that's a bad habit born out of bandai making good kits that generally fit the first time. Even then there are some parts that can be difficult to separate that you need to think about, and the first build helps that.

>>13559740
I can see so many ways that would go wrong
>spend hours painting a piece
>put kit together
>another piece completely covers the piece you just painted

>>13559749

You can see if that will happen by looking at the manual. Also I only paint kits that I have already straight built before.

>>13559746
That didn't come out right. Skip to 57s where they show the ewac jegan

>>13559758

>Also I only paint kits that I have already straight built before

so why are you even asking the question

>>13559764

Because when I straight build kits I panel line and detail paint before snapping them together. Because it's easier.

git gud you snapkuck. you probably build worse kits than snapfit kun and he's the worst builder here

>>13559608
Didn't read any of the feedback from other anons but here's my 2 cents

Spending time on the source material (manga/anime) is good but you seriously overdid the ratio. Try to keep it less than ~30% of the total video, you're here to review the model, not give your opinion on the mobile suit in-universe.
The "pilot" section is honestly useless and conveys no information about the kit.
The "pricing" section is also slightly skewed due to the fact you bought from a store that marks up prices. It's almost always better to buy online than from B&N and your price point should reflect on either the msrp or the most used source of the kit (hlj/amiami/hobbysearch).
Cool down on the "fucking" it's ok to express yourself casually but in this case if you want to do semi-professional reviews then you gotta at least to pretend to be a normie.
Don't move around the kit when you have it in shot, just have it and a camera on stable surfaces while pointing to whatever part your discussing at the time.

All in all, I'd have preferred if you would spend more time in the hobby before you start reviewing. Your format needs a bit more work but at least the video was entertaining, kind of reminding me of another autistic fuck I watch who reviews anime with the same dry humor. Keep up the work faggot

Great job on the kit. The detailing on the shoulderplates looks engraved, how did you get that effect? Is that just a trick of the light or something?

Also, that pose makes him look like a precious dainty fairy.

>>13559608
I respect the hustle, but I got one minute in and stopped because you weren't reviewing the kit. Review the kit. You don't need to explain your format or ratings because either they'll intuitively make sense, or be nonsense and nobody will watch your videos.

Type V3 on YouTube does what I consider pretty good gunpla reviews. He basically cold intros, shows a lot of shots of the kit, and keeps them to around five minutes. His voice is super gay but he articulates his points well.

OK OK a has been pro video guy here.
I'll take it from here.

1st, the length, too long for the content you have, too short for a proper product review.
Now I see you want to inject your personality and your opinions of the show in your review, that's fine, if you got style and a angle.
Either format your video to fit your personal style or drop anime biz for a pure product review.
Gunpla nerds don't care about the fictional world, they already know or don't care.
They don't need your bullshit and whatever you'll say will piss off at least 50% of these fucks just like /m/.

Don't use anime footage or pictures off the web, not because copyrights bullshit, but 'cause it's lazy as shit. I got google too, don't need your slide show, use your own pictures.

Take the largest size photo your phone has
and pan across/up and down the screen. Shoot the box, the instructions, the runners, you making the bot during the build, final product in GOOD light.
No desk lamps.
Since I assume you are doing this all with a cellphone, use daylight, shoot closest possible to the window or outside, shaded, like a patio.
It's winter now, but if you live in sunbelt, use curtains to avoid blowing out the whites.

Get a stand/tripod for your phone, no hand holding, use verbal command no touching.
Get a macro lens band for your phone, it's like 5 bucks and will help to get all the detail on these small things.
If you have access to a real camera, snatch that shit and use it.

Use a pointing stick not your skinnyfat fingers to point out detail and keep the model still when doing so.
Keep intro under 5 seconds, your name, what this video is and what your reviewing.

cont.

>>13560215
AUDIO HOLY SHIT AUDIO IS IMPORTANT.
IT'S 50% OF YOUR VIDEO REMEMBER THAT.
Record your voice over separately in post, ideally from a script in your closet with the surface covered in fabric. Or under your blanket in bed. Avoid recording in the bathroom with hard surfaces or outside in the wind. Just speak clearly, enunciate the words with steady pace.
You can get usable audio even form a phone this way.

You can lower the pitch in post to get rid of the "nerdy nasal" voice if you want, I'd also suggest speeding it up too.
Use music sparsely and let it fade away quickly, use for transitions.

Follow a format, a segment template, intro, robot background, where you got it, the build, detail, review, recommendations, endtro, stick to it.
Have a refferal link under your video so you can get some of that affiliate cash, who knows?

Look up shooting video tip on youtube or even on video threads on /p/
good luck.

Stop reminding me. Rrobbert was so fucking polished, it was retarded. If either of the HLJ tv guys ever die or leave or something, they need to shove him into that spot. It's just too perfect.

>>13560043

Maybe make it so that it looks like the mace-spear thing has some weight to it. Like there's momentum to the swing, or that he's gonna toss it.

Burning's alright, though maybe move the left arm a bit further back to add some momentum to the look.

Blue Astray is perfect and needs no further improvement.

I find myself watching Type V3 when he reviews something I'm interested in. I'd even watch his Toy Talk podcast if they included a table of contents.

Rotate the mace so the head is located behind the body of the Barbatos.

i don't know why i laughed that hard

My dog pissed in my bed /gpg/ when I was ironically in the bathroom after I put her out. Should I stay up and tiredly paint/snapbuild a kit as I wash them or should I wash them sleep on the uncovered matress and wash them? I should note my dryer is broken so I have to hang the things to dry somewhere.

>>13561037
Assuming it's night time where you are, you bundle them up somewhere, and pull out your sleeping bag, and then tomorrow hang them up in the sun after washing them, or under a heating vent.

Thank you for your advice though senpai

>>13561076
How the hell don't you have a sleeping bag? Don't stay up all night snapping a kit in your tired state, and don't put your washing on as it'll take forever to dry. Get some rest and take care of yourself. If you can afford it, look into a sleeping bag. Doesn't need to be top of the line, but they're extremely useful like during the middle of winter and you need the extra warmth.

Live in the city, don't have people or the vehicle to go /out/ like I want to. Never really thought of getting one because of those reasons

Also just realized there are two kinds of frog gunpla.

>>13561147
The right one is supposed to come with extra weapon or something.

Why is the manrody so bad while the guison is so good? I think it's because the manrody doesn't flow, it's limbs look tacked on

You can also use chemical rockets in space, all you have to do is supply the oxygen too, just like you could for a flamethrower

it's funny watching retards trying to act so smart. keep it up I'm having a good laugh at this

>>13559927
I think this kit looks really nice except for the big protruding handle or whatever on the left shoulder..is it possible to fold that down so its not so noticeable?

So I'm midway through my first paint job and I just want to make sure I'm doing this right..
Paint > Gloss coat > lining/weathering > Top coat

Is this correct? I've already finished the painting, I'm just unsure of when in the process I should try weathering.

>>13561576
That handle is the boomerang's handle, it's part of the design.

The real problem is the loooooong shoulder flap.

>>13561557
What did he say that was retarded? Your attempt at condescension is stupid as fuck since there's no intellectual content in your comment, faggot

>>13561624
So you can' fold it down or take it off? its a shitty part of the design imo

Knowledge of MS/10
Of course you can remove it.

Does anybody who uses alligator clips have tips for making them grip not so tightly/softer?
I bought a pack of the kind you would find on wires used in physics labs to connect circuits, but they have pointy teeth and bite much too forcefully, when I tested them on the end of a runner they bit quite deeply into it leaving nasty tooth marks.

>>13561762

you want that, the tip is to attach them to the back on all of the pegs etc.

If you have a piece that you can't clip, you want to use something like sticky tack or masking tape to attach it to a skewer

I feel like this is one of the things 08th MS Team was missing considering its Vietnam-inspired aesthetic. Just imagine Ground Type Gundams hosing down the forest with napalm trying to smoke some zeeks out.

Then again there are tons of real-world weapon analogues I wish we'd see more in gunpla instead of the usual vaguely-bullpup-shaped mid range beam rifle. That grenade launcher in the latest IBO weapon support pack has been a long awaited dream for me. I know about the Koto stuff, but the scale is never quite right.

What suit is the natural progression form for the Strike (which was the base for Sei's main lead)?
What suit so conveniently got new moulds made for a HG Revive and MG 2.0?
What kit, if made, will have the initials "BF", which, coincidentally, can also stand for "Build Fighters"?

I just don't understand Bandai Logic at all.

I think I'm going to try and make a flamethrower out of one of the EZ-SR's shoulder cannons. Shouldn't be too hard, just need to find a fuel tank.

why would you fold down the handle of the beam boomerang?

thread go faster so we can play photoshop kitbash roulette

And here we have the Sniper unit. The only other thing I'm going to add is a pair of handguns on the thighs and a knife...somewhere...

I'm planning on using the rifle from the new Char Zaku for it.

Also! The Jigen Build Knuckle set is easily the best gunpla related purchase I've made in a very long time. I highly suggest picking it up.
