Gunpla/Plamo General

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

Also apologies to the rest of /m/. We've been dealing with a bit of a situation in these threads for the last few months.

Guess we just gonna have to keep making threads until mods do something about the spammer.

Reap Oasting

Alright how do you guys think an HG would fare against a .22 to the torso? Anything more and I fear it will explode but I kind of want to try .22, anybody know anything? General tips on how to mutilate gunpla are welcome.

For the last few days the Gunpla Generals have been getting plastered by an image spammer bringing threads to bump limit, basically making the thread useless at that point since most of the discussion comes from discussing and criticizing others work.

Now it's come to the point where the image spammer can post every minute and nearly cap a thread in under three hours. If it comes to the point where we have three Gunpla Generals in the top two pages then so be it. The sooner a janitor or mod comes in and deals with the issue the better.

Retoasting as well, since that thread's been bombed as fuck.

Question for you guys using Weathering Master. To seal with clear or not to seal? And if to seal, obviously it should be flat right?

>>13751628
>For the last few days
>days
how new

>>13751626
Oh good lord I was going to ask the same question actually. I want to do bulletholes in the dumbest way possible, instead of choosing to use a drill. Which I realized halfway through loading my Ruger. I'd say scoop an F-91 up for 11 bucks with prime shipping to experiment. Only problem is he's so small. Otherwise sacrifice a Zaku.

>>13751651
Don't hurt Zaku ;_;

>>13751656
Zakus and GMs are made for jobbing, just ask the most famouse jobber of all: Char!

>>13751651
Personally I think it's a terrible idea. Firstly, the impact is probably just going to shred the plastic. Second, what sort of impact would tear through armour like that? It'd look fucking wierd.

>>13751630
definitely to seal. though i've been using gloss.

still, it's hard as fuck to seal, even if i topcoated i kinda rubbed it off easily.

i can suggest flat > weathering master > flat. being the flat base coat makes more grip to the weathering master

I have a Gundam marker

What paintbrush should I use?

>>13751665

I was gonna go with flat initially, actually. I was gonna try to do some real touch preshading and then some extra rust and scratches here and there.

I'll give it a go when I find time to work on my kit again.

I'm really interested in taking a .308 to a MG now. I want to hurt the plastic. Also buckshot.
Okay name 2. If I can get my hands on a speed camera again I might get something going.

>>13751672
Do it on a PG atleast...

get some incendiary rounds like Dragon's Breath, regular stuff will just punch right through it without doing anything interesting.

Why not just... not shoot the kit?

God this situation is fucking terrible recently. How do mods not so much as glance at the fact that we have such high activity in such a short time. You would think that since they've stepped in on occasion they would just do a daily check.

And ban Snapshit, his idiocy has spread across the board as he makes (horrid) threads. Like the one he did of Gyunei. That didn't get so much as 2 replies.

>>13751651
Zakus are ~11, GMs are only ~9. I'm thinking of building an army and trying out different calibers on the plastic. In the end there would be sick battle damage to be had.
>.22
>possibly 30-60
>possibly 5.56
>9mm
>fowty five
>possibly 7.62
All depends on if I have time, money, ammo, and the balls to kill these innocent gunpla. If the results are decent I'll let one of you fags buy PREMIUM PARTIALLY CONSTRUCTED BATTLE DAMAGE GRUNT, stocks limited to what I brought out to my yard, for a dollar or two as long as you think you can paint it to look cool. This is all assuming it doesn't shatter and make a time consuming $9/$11 target.

>>13751663
760mm artillery obviously.
Realistically you could probably pass the damage off as Guntank or White Base cannon fire. Hopefully Zakus are the target in that scenario.

>>13751672
MGs might be better if the inner frame doesn't cripple. I've never built an MG so I don't know what that would do but scale seems more realistic. Even more on a PG, but fuck wasting 60 bucks on an experiment.
Try loading shells with fun stuff. Buckshot seems iffy but I'd love to see it.

I don't like how black is the only weathering color you used on white parts while your gun have so much more though.

New version.

>>13751937

The pipes on the legs make it look like a cold weather type Zaku. Was that what you were going for? Also, the wire going from the backpack to the primary arm- does that directly power the short gun/rifle?

>>13752138
i just wanted some pipes, only suitable thing i found. it's cool that it resembles a cold type though. And yes, thw wire powers the gun, I thought it was the only suitable place to attach it but i can move it to a more suitable place.

>>13752111
This is the one i have.

>>13751936
that leg damage is sick, love the resistor and what appears to be a capacitor(?) looks sweet

I was wondering if anyone happened to have an extra hi-mock hand. I lost the green cap that goes on one of my hands and would be interested in buying one from someone if they have it.

And with old B-2 Nightmare bomber, created almost three years ago. Selfmade decals really fun thing, especially when you can print them on your job.

Does the new HG RX-78-2 have a backpack that doesn't have the beam saber handles fall out of it all the time?
I mean, they had to know that using square slots for round pegs wasn't a good solution.

I don't mean this to you in particular, especially if this is like your first post here, but what do people mean when they post shit like this

Like first of all, there are full pictures of every single part of pretty much every kit online, so you can go see every single step of the process

secondly, pretty much all HGs released in the last decade are fine, what kind of issue are you expecting that you can't discover with some basic searching?

I wish mods were here

You need to learn to ignore it and move on

>>13753494
Does that really matter ?
My first Gunpla was a MG (Musha) and I had no problem. If you used to smaller kits I bet a MG kit won't be that much trouble for you.

>>13753494
Get a Zaku 2.0, they are a damn good kits, tend to be cheap and everyone needs a Zaku.

Its obviously a lie but it looks beautiful anyway. *implodes*

I've tried a few times at painting, but I'm just hitting walls. I am using Tamiya (gray) surface primer and handpainting with Tamiya acrylic paints. If I paint too thin, the color doesn't fully cover the gray primer color. If I paint a bit thicker, the parts start to fit less as well. Another problem I have is with the joints - the paints would just scratch if I try to move or repose. What am I doing wrong? Do I just have to forsaken Tamiya and go with expensive tiny bottle testors?

>>13755380
Yea, that's what I think too. Gonna see if I can convert the v-fin into a vented visor like pic related.
>>13755396
Close. Both the shield and lance as well as the head crest are from Daban's Tallgeese II. The black sword in the shield is from FG Sword Impulse.

>>13755246
Dont forget Nadleeh and Archer's base Artemis.
G-Arcane looks feminine to me. Maybe it's the colour scheme and those droopy fins on the head

>>13755410
Nadleeh is an androgynous male.

And it's ARTEMIE. Artemis was an Asteroid fortress in Seed.

>>13755408

And i was sure.
Tell me a color you like and i'll try to think a color scheme

>>13755415
I was thinking of a knightly colour scheme like the SD Knight I posted but the blue I got was lighter than I expected.
So I scrapped the blue altogether and this was what I came up with. The lighter blue is still used on the green jewels. Could use some suggestions.

>>13755428

how do you color the clear green parts to be blue?

>>13755428

The green parts are a bit dark to colour them anything else, especially a lighter shade. I think you'd need to spray them a highly metallic blue.

As for the scheme... I think the silver will need to be a very bright, almost chrome colour since the red is quite dark and washed out. Not that I'm saying to brighten up the red, I mostly hate bright red used as a detail colour, it's tacky. I'd mainly shift the colours around on the chest so it looks like it's wearing a cuirass rather than a cowl and cummerbund. Here, I'll whip something up one sec...

>>13755431
They won't be clear anymore. I'll just paint over em.

>>13755448

He we go. Another thing occurred to me, although it's minor. If you pick a dark shadowing colour for the frame and joint parts make sure it's never 'above' your armour colours. I think it was only on the shoulders and right arm, but it's out of place.

And since we're talking about Tallgeese parts, here's a scheme I did for someone a while back that's down the same alley.

>>13755458
I remember that from that lineart thread.

that thing is bitchin'.

>>13755456
Whoa, that looks a whole lot better than what I came up with.
And I did refer to that Tallgeese for my colour scheme, didn't know it was yours as well.
Thanks a lot man. I'll be sure to post any updates or progress someday.

Also, if I were to give him a cape, what colour would suit well?

>>13755456
Ok done.
Tried to match the colors you gave me.
The bright blue parts clash with with the rest MS because of it's darker color.
Light up but keep the metallic feel of the gold accent, it's supposed to be grant.
Personally i really like coloring parts 2 colors and tried to capture the feel of two layers of armor.
I dont really like one color heads and instead i added all of the colors Keeping black and ivory as a background i try to direct the attention to the center of the head.
That's just my opinion though.
If you like i can try another scheme with completely different colors and distribution

>>13755456
>>13755478
Christ you are going have to do a shit ton of masking?

>>13755470

For a cape you'd want to use the same (or similar) colour to the inner frame, a dark grey. Mainly because capes tend to look shadowy due to their soft shape, and bright colours (especially metallics) are very garish. Y'know, unless you want to go the whole nine yards and give it a patterned cape, you'd be a braver man than I.

>>13755478
Yeah, this seems alright to me. I think the head's a little busy but I fully understand not liking predominantly single-colour heads. Gunpla is freedom and all that. In retrospect having the thruster part on the back of the knee be white is pretty sweet, it gives the red parts the feeling of ancient hoplites' greaves.

That's pretty top, I'm dying to add a shoulder cape to something or other.

It's not Roman in the legionary sense but I tried to make a gladiator-inspired colour scheme for a Buster Gundam, all bronze and gold. It's... ok I guess.

>>13755508

And since this is a gunpla thread and not a lineart thread, I hastily submit the first kit I ever painted. The seam lines make me shudder now, but like racism in Warner Bros cartoons to cover it up would be to pretend it never happened at all.

That looks great as well, but looks more SRW than knightly and as >>13755485 said, would be a bitch to mask around the head area.
I'm gonna go with this >>13755456
with slight modifications.
I'm removing the chest fins and scratching a chest emblem.
Thanks for the help man, appreciate it.
Also, if I were to give him a cape, what colour would suit well?

Pic related is what I would've gone with if I compromised with the lighter blue.

>>13755515

I didn't AXE for your opinion. Oh god, really.

I also gave it a very large gun. I don't know what I was thinking, I was young and foolish.

Would look more badass and knightly with a kite shield but scratchbuilding that is way beyond my current skills.

The shield itself is a decent beginner's project.

>>13755628
F type. J type is that shitty "Ground" type that is literally just the F type with a bunch of its verniers removed and some cooling systems crammed in. Plus the F type comes with a giant bazooka.

Did you ever have to order a replacement piece ? If yes, how did you do it ? Also, I ordered it on Amazon, so no hlj or bluefin replacement for me.

>>13756181
You ordered it on amazon? Just send it back and get a new kit. You don't have to include all the parts in the box, cut out the weapons and useful shit before you ship it back. Assuming you are still within the return period.

>>13756181
That's the beauty of such things though anon.

You can now class it as your own special snowflake Zaku.

Yup, that's a molding error. Either scar it up more as battle damage or use your knife to clean it up and cut the other side to match.

Does someone of you know if the PG Red Astray comes with dry or wet transfer decals ?
I read dry decals somewhere but I'm not sure. Because I hate wet transfer decals.

Like first of all, there are full pictures of every single part of pretty much every kit online, so you can go see every single step of the process

secondly, pretty much all PGs released in the last decade are fine, what kind of issue are you expecting that you can't discover with some basic searching?

According to model spoilers its main gimmick is a mode for the legs that gives it powerful thrust. The gundams main combat style is based on powerful direct charges.

Its also supposed to be a famous gundam from the war and what made Gaelio's family one of the nobles.

I guess since spammer is gone, shitposter has to fill in the quota for shitposting. This thread can never win I swear

>>13756593

>>13756118
same reason he won't answer why he doesn't buy action figs instead of gunpla since his least favorite part of the process is building the kit itself. He's a shitposter that knows he's shitposting and is desperate for attention, so don't reply to him. We are almost at the point were he has been completely ignored aside from a few people still sperging out when he says some retarded shit. But we'll get there, soon he will be completely ignored, which will probably lead to spam but if we ignore that too, maybe, just maybe, he will finally fuck off.

>>13756574
>The gundams main combat style is based on powerful direct charges.
Which isn't too surprising considering its demonic namesake is supposed to be the emodiment of an ultimate warrior.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the NG shakes out.

>>13756593
Honestly why dont we all just move to the /toy/ thread? Gunpla makes more sense there since its a toy. I mean you dont see people on /v/ or /co/ constantly making threads about their collectables even if they have the same characters and shit, why do we do that here instead of the board its meant for?

Because it's still /m/

>>13756671
It might be /m/ in the same way that a vidya figure would be /v/ but they take it to /toy/ still. It makes much more sense for it to go there than here
