Gunpla/Plamo General: ignore shitposter edition

I've been looking for a z'gok for my daughter's bedroom thank you

>>14061588
>since I can't read
Anons, as a dutchfag that is looking to get into gunpla, does anyone know any good places to buy gunpla in the Netherlands or are there any decent ways to order them elsewhere that wont make me poor as fuck?

>>14061601
Amazon is pretty good in France, never got taxed by custom. I have no idea how it is in Netherland tho.

>>14061601
There is http://www.animere.nl/ which has a decent amount of HG kits and some MGs/RGs, but the kits themselves are obviously a bit more expensive than their price online (but if you include shipping costs it's pretty much the same price). Additionally since their site is literally just some information about the store you can't know what they sell exactly unless you go there and look for yourself.

Most of the time I still just buy from amiami or hobbysearch.

>>14061601
Not Dutch but I've lived here for 5 years.

>Netherlands
There's A Space Oddity in Amsterdam http://www.spaceoddity.nl/, you can look at their online prices, might be lower in the actual store. Shipping is €6.50

There's also http://gundam-market.nl/
It's online only, and their prices are cheaper (6.50 shipping as well, it doesn't scale depending on the amount of kits you're buying, and if you spend over €100 it's free shipping).

Those are the only places I personally know of in the country that sells gunpla. I've only used Gundam Market myself, and I would say they're pretty good. If I order on a Tuesday it'll arrive Thursday. You can communicate with them easily as well.

You might have local stores that sell them, so it's worth a try to check them.


Ordering from overseas is a different issue

>Japan
You'll usually have to pay more for shipping no matter the option, and then the customs import duty/tax (21% for toys IIRC) on top of that if you order from Japan or outside the EU, I think.
If you order the, let's say, V-Dash Gundam from HLJ. With the cheapest shipping (SAL, 10 - 30 days) and customs it'll probably be 25 euros in full for it. If you order from Gundam Market, it'll be 24 euros in total with 2 - 3 days waiting time. But it obviously depends on the base cost of the kit you're buying, how many you're getting, and the total shipping costs. You should handle it on a case by case basis. Check if any of the Dutch-based stores online have a kit, and then check the Japanese ones. Order from which one will, in the end after all the calculations, be cheaper.

>Other
There's also always Amazon, like >>14061608 said, but you'll have to order from either the UK, German, or French versions of the sites since amazon.nl does not list any, as far as I know. Not sure about prices, customs, and shipping. It might depend on the seller

It's not a cheap hobby in general, so you'll have to take it slow if you don't want to go bankrupt quite soon.

>>14061608

>>14061637
Thanks a lot anons, this is quite helpful.
Guess it's time to start saving up some more money.

Why doesn't HLJ stock Action Base Minis?

What is a good monoeye color for a red suit?

>>14061804
>Why doesn't HLJ stock Action Base Minis?
If it was only possible to ask them directly! Too bad we live in this dark world with no forms of electronic communication, forcing us to formulate decisions based solely on conjecture...

I'm not too attached to this ZZ to care. It was just something I put together because the BTF ZZ, which I regret getting a year or so ago, wasn't going to get any use and I was getting the 1/100 Xi so I thought "Why not?"

Now if it was the Barbatos Form Astray then I would defend it.

I...I did it boys. I didn't think I could get it to work, but it does. I have not been this hyped in a while.

>>14062649
It looks like it's wearing stockings and I'm 100% okay with this

I actually like the whole design, looks nice

>>14062649
Pretty neat, where are the hands from?

>>14062662
It's the 1/100

>>14062677
Is it?

Oh well.

I never thought I'd actually have a backlog, but here I am. I've got the RG Zaku II, an SD Nu Gundam, and the Revive Titans MK-II waiting for me. What about you guys?

>>14062649
This is really neat!

>>14062756
I want to get another Origin Char Zaku II because I screwed my first one up. I also want to get the Origin Gouf and an EZ8.

I already have an HG Revive A.E.U.G. RX178 and an MG RX-78 v.3 that I'm building at the moment. I'm afraid that if I got any more kits, I'd be to overwhelmed to finish what I've started.

>>14062782
The Char Zaku II was my first kit from back when I decided to get into building again, it's a solid kit, but there seems to be a few problems with it (weird articulation). Definitely want to pick up the same two kits though, I've wanted an EZ8 ever since I watched 08th MS Team.

How's the Revive RX178? I'm worried it's not going to be very good, but then again I'm spoiled since I already built the AEUG RG MkII.

And yeah, burnout is a real thing. I had an unfinished Barbatos sitting on my desk for the better half of a month because I just had no motivation.

If anyone has bought from Amiami, what are their shipping prices like? Does it depend on what state I live in?

>>14062366
I like it and I hate it at the same time. What is happening?

>>14063031
It's fair enough. The problem is that they don't estimate shipping for you (at least I don't remember if they do; it's been like six months since I've last ordered from them) and you have to wait for them to give you a payment quote.

And if you cancel your order, they get hissy and passive-aggressive, eventually cancelling your account if you do it too often.

It's based on how much the stuff you buy weighs, pic related is EMS shipping to Europe on those items.

>>14062366
Is this meant to be G-First

>>14063075
That looks a bit steep compared to what I'm looking for, I guess I'll just stick with Amazon, since I have Prime. I just now ordered my first model from them.

>>14062376
>Hey what if we made a ZZ that was not shit in every way to appeal to the Zetafags?

Sounds good.

>>14063049
Probably too much thinner. Testors is also shit

>>14063087
Because its intl, its cheaper when you order from amiami, hlj, etc when you group order things in bulk and use sal. Takes a while but will save you, only ever use ems if youre forced too otherwise amazon is great fir individual common kits, terrible for limited or rare ones though

>>14062649
Looks pretty sweet.

Help me decide /gpg/

MG RX-93 ν Gundam Ver. Ka

OR

MG RX-93-2 Hi-ν Gundam

>>14063195

Hi-Nu!

It's such a slick-looking machine. And I love the color scheme.

But muh asymmetry.

>>14063224
Then why'd you post a piece of shit, you infantile cunt?

>>14063230

I think the Nu looks really good without the funnel rack.

Both that newer white version of the Nu that was retooled into the Sinanju Stein and the Nu vrabe look hella tight.

The Hi-Nu just looks neater thanks to the color scheme and the propellant tanks and the redesigned funnel racks. To me, at least.

>>14063049

metallic silver is just silver pigments floating in clear medium, it evaporates so only the silver is left and it can align pretty well. Model Masters silver chrome enamel is more like aluminum when it's done, but it's really nice for a hand painted finish.

turn signal metallics are a clear enamel with little metallic bits in them, so it's never going to look the same as a regular silver

here's the secret you just learned, nearly all colored metallic paints are shit for gunpla because the scales are way too small and the silver flakes would be 1.5 feet across. Most people who are drawn to this kind of paint are spray canning or hand painting one of their first few kits.

First time doing anything other than straight build

Only painting black/white on in place of decals, panel lining, and top coat. In what order am I supposed to do this?

Right now, it feels like:

1) Panel line/detailing
2) Paint
3) Detach from runners
4) Top coat
5) Assemble

It's what my gut tells me but it feels so, so wrong. Especially the last two steps.

>>14063278

This is some top-notch stuff. I still think the wing-like funnel racks on the Hi-Nu are a bit more visually pleasing, but it's definitely a sharper look.

How does everyone like my new concept for Astaroth?

The idea behind the wings was that since the Gundams are named after demons, repainting one into white and giving it angel wings was kind of like it rising from hell into heaven.

>>14063328
That's pretty autistic desu

>>14063328
I think it looks pretty neat. I like it.

>>14062797

I built the Revive Gundam Mk. II over the weekend.

It's a seriously great kit. Good color separation, great detail and articulation too.

I've got both it and the original HG of the Mk. II and this one's a serious improvement in pretty much every way. I'd get it if you're a fan of it, but it's probably not gonna blow your mind if you've already built the RG.

>>14063336
How does it compare to the RG?

>>14063301
I wouldn't go through the hassle of finding a second shield and rifle, but I might try and seek out the funnel expansion.

Why did the Loto fail in comparison to Jegans and GMs? Their small sizes mean that it's harder to hit them and they must be a lot more cost efficient.

>>14063348
There was like something similar in F91 where mobile suits transformed into tanks. So I assume that was their evolution

>>14063048
>not using the regular Nu arm-vulcan
The claw/shield thing is disgusting

>>14063339

I haven't built the RG. Thus far, the only RG I've constructed was the Red Frame. Although I do have an RG 00 Raiser that I've yet to build.

>>14063340

If there isn't a conversion kit to turn a Nu Gundam into the Double Funnel type from CCA-MSV, I'd be shocked.

I think, after I've gotten a bit better at detailing and customizing, that my first custom build is going to be some kind of tricked-out Astraea Type F, using some parts from the Exia DM and the 00.

Phase 2 of the PG unicorn lighting looks to be a LOT simpler than the RGB stuff.
The hole to attach the thrusters to the kit is exactly the same size as the collar on a 3mm led
so I just need to embed a 2 hole IC socket in the kit and the thruster will be held in place by the led legs, which will also provide power to the leds.
Only 8 of them to wire in too, so with 0.2mm magnet wire its not even a problem.

So apparently I went wrong with buying testors Paint most of them are as one of the anons pointed out shit for models.
>>14063250
he also saw pretty clearly It was my first attempt at hand painting.

So for now this is my current work in progress until I reassess the cituation and likely wait for more supplies markers maybe Tamiya paint?

All in all it was a fun build but I'm done with it until I can get the right supplies for the job.

I need to construct my other two as well but finding out the twenty paints I bought are useless kinda annoys me to no end.

Oh, does it really? That's seriously cool.

I've been on a massive HG binge lately, but I think I'll tackle an MG after I've gotten them all squared-away. It's probably gonna be the Hi-Nu though. Since it's got dat THICKness.

can people please stop spewing this shit, snapfit kits are all the same level. anybody who believes otherwise should build traditional models

>>14063642
Personally I think you should build at least 1 HG before you try an MG or a PG. I often see new builders get confused or screw something up fatally when dealing with inner frames or too many parts, and this guy looks like he would do just that. Otherwise I agree, there isn't some huge hurdle to jump over.

It wasnt meant for mobile suit combat, it was a multipurpose infiltration unit meant to get the ground soldiers into the combat zone usually on colonies and such. the mobile suit mode allowed for better space movement and gave it a chance to fight back if mobile suits were encountered. Like a majority of apc though it was armed mostly because it be dumb to make a metal coffin full of soldiers. It fit support, transport, infiltrate, tank, anti personal roles better.

What grade you lookin' to get, senpai?

Most HGs use parts-swapping to get a transformation done, with the exception being machines with lazy transformations like the Wing, Wing Zero and the like. Arios is a fun HG kit that has a decent transformation. I've heard the Kyrios is as well.

>>14063981
That actually looks pretty good in black armor.

>>14063922

Its a angled wrist hand kind of like how gm sniper 2 has to hold its rifle if I remember right. Also seems the shield shares a arm mount similar to the original so

>>14063994
either an HG or MG

>>14064023

You can't see any detail at all on black kits you nublets, and you can't preshade a kit when you paint the whole fucking thing black

This is a lie. Arios is good, Kyrios is not.
Unsure on Harute because I don't have him, but I've also heard that the Brave Commander is a good buy.

>>14064045

what are you implying, he said he's going to "preshade" and there is no way he can actually do that now

shades are darker, he's just primed in black which many people do for modeling, but not to do preshading.

>>14064031
Not technically for preshading, but putting down a black basecoat has been something armor plamo modelers have been doing for decades to dull and darken the colors for a more realistic and shaded look. It doesn't work well on colors that are supposed to be bright and vibrant though.

Like guys I bought my first gunpla today.

It's the Mg Full Armor Unicorn.

Have I started with the wrong leg?

>>14064062

yeah I'm aware, but his stated purpose was to do preshading, which isn't possible now

>>14064070
technically not, apparently what I'm actually trying to do is "highlight" according to /toy/.

So hopefully it doesn't bite me in the ass.

No, it still does because when they make a kit that hueg they need to make sure it sells. There's a reason there's only 2 fucking HUEG 1/144 HGs.
Sadly a lot of the cooler MAs aren't popular. Though Im still hoping for a 1/144 Neue Ziel someday.

Zeong, Pysco and it's variants, Dendrobium, Kshatriya, Neo Zeong. There's more than you think

>>14064605
Psycho Gundam only has the one HG kit. It's BIG, but not Neo Zeong/Dendrobium big. Kshatriya is small compared to Dendrobium. Also apparently Quin Mansa is Psycho Gundam -size, so yeah, that actually really should get a kit then. I kept thinking it was a lot bigger for some reason.

>>14064556
>>14064603
That's a huge bummer. It's bad enough that Turn A only has a single HG, they couldn't even give us the Build Fighters one?

You mean the one that's just a recol and is used by a joke character for one episode and would sell like a lead balloon?

I must have my kits confused. I haven't actually seen build fighters yet, I thought the "Shin Musha" Turn A was from that.

That's from the honoo manga, and if I remember right it's like the Lightning Zeta in that it's actually based on a pro-modelers custom.

I need to pick up one of the Lightning Zetas, same with the ZII, which I know nothing about. It's from some side story, right?

Has anyone here actually done this conversion?

>>14064849
>Also, aren't the bazookas sourced from Raphael's "head"pack?
The rear part that goes inside the II's bazooka is the original's handle block stuffed in it. You'd also need to completely redo the internal part just past that, either by modifying the regular Seravee's bazooka internals or scratch-building like in the pic you posted.

The hguc norn unicorn mode included a "correct" version of the open claws. The original hguc and banshee claws don't open accurately compared against the ova due to being designed and released based off of notes and lineart before the OVA was completed. On the kits the claws opens like a set of jaws for crushing. In the ova it's more like a cats paw for slashing.

The norn kit came with parts to correct this.

>>14066068
Unicorn Norn comes with the claw, for some reason.

Huh. The sticker for the backmount on the Hi-Nu vrabe looks like total ass.

Tiiiiime to paint it instead.

What the hell? I kind of like the Gouf though.

>>14066080

So the Norn is the version to get if I want to be an edgelord?

I just want to cuddle with Marida

Maybe press our cheeks together with my arm around her waist. We'll laugh and kiss and have sex later because it's 0096 and AIDS/HIV is cured

Ground Gundam dry-fitted, I missed off some of the parts for the sake of posing it and didn't do a great job.

Either way I'm trying to recreate the suit Sanders piloted with the cannon and backpack loadout. (I was going to try the kneeling sniper pose with the shield out in front, but it looks goofy as fuck)

Got my Hambrabo today. Only real downside is getting it to hold the rifle decently is a battle.

>>14066294
It doesn't include the beam smartgun though.

Wanting to do stuff, I bought a large green sheet of paper and tried to do some green screen stuff.

In the future I'll probably have to work on lighting the kit in a way that it makes sense in context with the background.

Question /m/: I'm about to do my first ever gunpla of pic related, I don't have Gundam marker and I was wondering if I should hold off on building until I got one?

>>14066941
Just go ahead and build and buy the marker later. It's not a mandatory thing.

>>14066941
Just buy it dude, have you ever painted models before?

They should have given the Hambrabi a holding hand for the Feyadeen rifle. Kind of let down by this.

My package hasn't moved from Arkansas for the past couple days. What could be the cause of delay??

>>14067057
They're hot gluing it for you.

I'll need to make the hand tighter. This is cool, though.

It's nearing completion. The paint job on the bird head thing on the back needs an insane amount of touching up since I suck at painting, but it doesn't look Red Cliff levels of bad.
