***READ THE GUIDE***

For those new to gunpla/plamo or even just new to this thread; please read the guide. Please read it before asking questions as there is a chance it has already been answered there.
For those unfamiliar, "plamo" is a shortened form of "plastic model". If it's made of plastic, someone can probably help you here.
If you're new, you're gonna fuck up. Don't worry! If you're experienced, dont 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'm getting in my RG barzam conversion kit from the chinks soon. Is there any other non resin conversion kits that are interesting? Also open to 3rd party accessories like guns and flight packs and swords. God damn I love knockoffs.

I'm in the early stages of planning on kitbashing the sprukit master chief with a gundam to make one of these.

Barbie-Number-4.jpg
329KB, 640x800px
So I have this ambitious project in mind where I make a HG Barbatos for each of the forms. So far I currently have 4th form, from the Barbatos & Kutan-III set.

Now, I'm wondering, how many other sets will I need to buy in order to complete this? I mean, I figured I'd have to buy 4 Generic Barbatos, and 3 6th Form Barbatos (for the 5th, 5th Ground, and 6th forms), but what other accessories do I need to get from the other HG IBO sets? Anyone else doing this, or got any other ideas?
>>
>>14071743
Just the Graze, Graze Schwalbe, and the first weapon pack for the gun.
>>
>>14071743
>>14071781
Actually, if you are making a separate barbatos for each from you'll need like three graze.

One for the green shoulder version from the duel, one with the blue and white shoulders for the orbital fight where it lost its shield arm, and one more blue and white for the battle against the turbines where its shield was replaced with the schwalbe claw.

You will also need the shcwalbe thigh binders for the version where it dropped to earth.
>>
>>14071797
>>14071781

From what I saw on Gundam Wiki, they count Green shouldered Barbatos as just Second Form, which is what I was going for. Although I might actually wanna do that green shouldered one too.

Does the Schwalbe come with a pair of ordinary Graze shoulders, or only the fancy ones? Barring that, how hard would it be to cast them, since 3 graze seems a bit much, and I don't know how I feel about having 3 Grazes without shoulders.

Although, I could just get some more of those weapons packs and put the bazooka on them. Plus I could get another Graze, make it a commander, and have like an artillery squad. Decisions, decisions.
>>
>>14071743
that's a retarded idea.

and i cant remember which kit, but i remember one having either on a little pamphlet or magazine thing that has all 6 forms and what shit to buy to get all forms.

let me check my manuals.
>>
>>14071811
>Does the Schwalbe come with a pair of ordinary Graze shoulders, or only the fancy ones?

Only the fancy ones. None of the barbatos forms use the regular graze thrusters though.
>>
Is the shitposter gone?

No, you're still here snapfit, stop asking

>>
>people think forced anonymous would solve problems

hell no it won't
>>
>>14071743
This'll be a meticulous list for the sake of it.

Form 1: HG Barbatos

Form 2 (Mars):
- HG Barbatos
- HG Graze (Green single shoulder)

Form 2 (Space):
- HG Barbatos
- HG Graze (blue/white shoulders)
- Option Set 1 (Smoothbore Cannon)

Form 3:
- HG Barbatos
- HG Graze (blue/white shoulders)
- Schwalbe Graze (Grabber claw thing)
- Option Set 1 (Smoothbore Cannon)

Form 4:
- Kutan Long Range Booster w/ HG Barbatos (for white-hilt sword)

Form 5 (Re-Entry):
- HG Kutan Booster w/ HG Barbatos (for Schwalbe thruster connection piece)
- HG Barbatos Form 6
- HG Barbatos (For extra mace/sword)
- Schwalbe Graze (leftover from Form 3 for thrusters)
- Smoothbore Cannon (rip 1 from the 2 the kutan booster has unless you're to display that as well)

Form 5 (Ground):
- HG Barbatos 6th Form

Form 6:
- HG Barbatos 6th Form

Remember if you wanna outfit all of em with the white-hilt sword thats a lot of kutan boosters to buy (so forget it unless you reeeeeeeeeally got cash and space to throw around.)

I don't know, I just really like the IBO HG's, which is why I honestly want to do this in the first place. I guess it's like my sister and her butterfly wing Gundam obsession.

Enjoy 0 Gundam. My only gripe with the kit is that it doesn't hold its rifle very well but it is only an HG. It's actually a lot of fun to detail too.

I just realised that the last MG that is non-Gundam look alike/derivative ,non First Gundam, nor key rival character(Sazabi etc) was the Geara Doga, Jesta, Marasai and the O. The O being the last ABS frame one.

GN-X wasn't counted as it reused some parts from Exia. Marasai kind of used parts from the Zaku.

The 1/100 IBO line is a godsend to give us a Graze frame(3 releases) and the Valkyria Frame, but then the latter is counted as skinny signature rival MS.

I think the Schwalbe Graze being rival MS had a role in it and they probably decided on the normal Graze due to that.
>>
>>14071321
Rub it with lighter fluid
>>
>>14072349
The 1/100 IBO kits aren't MG. Their construction is simpler in a lot of places and they have a lower parts count to keep the cost down. They also have no cockpit feature, moving panels, or other features that are typically associated with MG.

And what are you talking about with the 0, that was a main antagonist MS.

And the last series to give us the grunt MS in 1/100 was the 00 line.

Holy shit it feels nice seeing someone pick up a hobby because of you but at the same time feels weird because how he doesn't talk to me about it. We aren't close friends but i would gladly help people with his hobbies.

Should i tell him that his work looks like shit and he need to toughen his shit up?

It is possible, snapfag's kits are recent kit release in the last 5 years or so, this was an HG Impulse which looks like absolute ass that has seam lines fucking everywhere. It's even missing a hunk of plastic in the leg, i don't even know how he did it.

Ok, so if I got the Seravee GNHW/B and Raphael would I have enough parts to make a somewhat modified Raphael Dominions (with an alternate color scheme) and the Seravee II? I think I would.
I'm not completely certain which part goes on the Raphael's arms as the armor.

So I have this ambitious project in mind where I make a HG Barbatos for each of the forms. So far I currently have 4th form, from the Barbatos & Kutan-III set.

Now, I'm wondering, how many other sets will I need to buy in order to complete this? I mean, I figured I'd have to buy 4 Generic Barbatos, and 3 6th Form Barbatos (for the 5th, 5th Ground, and 6th forms), but what other accessories do I need to get from the other HG IBO sets? Anyone else doing this, or got any other ideas?

The fuck is wrong with you?

No, the real issue with the Gusion is that it comes with one frame. Making things worse, the 1/100 Gusion actually uses a slightly different frame than the Kimaris & Barbatos (aside from coloration, their frame is identical) so you can't just buy a Barbatos as a cheap way to display both.

I suppose thats one way to look at them though for me I want to learn how to hand paint them to clean up the imperfections I make I get frustrated because I have unsteady hands so I tend to file to wide or not put them together well until someone detailed how to get the gyan vulcan done right I didn't think I had the right kit. All my paint that a bought is supposedly useless for hand painting and mediocre for airbrushing so I was a bit depressed

>>
>>14074375
Some of the panel lining looks a little sloppy (top of the right thigh above the decal stands out the most), otherwise pretty solid. The Raiser wings look particularly good, from what I can see.

There are some nubs that really shouldn't be there since you paid the shekels for a PG. See Right GN binder

Also, I suspect you're gonna have some of those decals peeling off/going brittle on the edges at some point. The wrist ones will be first based on my guess.

Also, there's a hair or a small piece of shaved plastic hanging off of the left V-fin.
>>
>>14074408
But it's an RG. And yeah, I fucked up the thigh then realized it too late after topcoat.
That hair must have dropped afterwards because it ain't there anymore.
>>
>>14074408
>PG
You mean RG. Seriously though, the RGs don't carry that much of a premium.

As for his panel lining, yeah, its kinda off in some parts. Looks like he didn't get enough ink into the grooves or was inconsistent in cleaning it up. Maybe his gundam marker is going bad?

Aside from the nubs on the guns (nubs on grey and black parts are always easy to find), I only see one major nub on the body itself. There's either a protrusion or a gouge on the right forearm where it separates for the psycho-frame.

Cotton swabs clean up really nice, so feel free to go heavy on the lines. I've linked you to a vid where a dude uses Tamiya panel lining accents, so he uses paint thinner on the cotton swab, but the end result here is basically identical to using a gundam marker and a regular cotton swab.

>>
>>14074671
Mr color is technically an acrylic but uses a lacquer thinner that dries far too quickly for handbrushing snd will ruin brushes. Also the fumes are toxic so you need as respirator while using it. It is intended for airbrushing only. yhat's why your paint looks sort of thick and grainy. You aren't supposed to handbrush it.

Aqueous is their water based line and can be handbrushed.

Research paints before buying them. They come in different kinds that require different thinners and some can be dangerous without proper precautions. Also, remember to thin your paints and seal with a top coat.

revive has a specific design style, where as recolors are usually just named anime, ova or specific psycho frame color. If it was unicorn which I doubt, it wouldnt be a mold that exists. the whole new mold is kinda required unless its a variant of a existing revive of course.

If HGUC Nr. 200 is a Zaku II Revive, I'll laugh.

I feel like a lot of people in these threads do this, many buy kits that are either new or that they see others build or work on

Mom's WiP.jpg
468KB, 1361x1728px
So, about a week ago I asked some questions on behalf of my mom.

I actually did end up ordering the MG Infinite Justice (she really likes the design and she can practice on the HGs while learning some modelling skill--kind of suggested it as a capstone for her), Grimgerde, and also pre-ordered the reprint of the Brave Commander for her from overseas. I grabbed a few other things she said she liked in the meantime from Gundam Planet cause it's the only place I could find a ReZEL (for myself) and the price of shipping and all was right.
So, I grabbed this sucker, Wing Zero Honoo and the Rinascita She actually didn't know about the Rinascita until afterwards as I tacked that on. She hadn't browsed ALL the HG line, but I grabbed it as a bonus, and as it turns out she does like the design a whole lot.

Actually, this all started cause gave her a Force Impulse I had to test the waters before I ordered anything. Didn't post it though. It needs some work to say the least, most of which isn't really her fault.

Anyways, sorry for the blog. Gonna try and teach her panel lining once I have some time to visit more. Accordingly, this is still Work in Progress, but I think the kit is pretty dang cool in person. Construction is really solid. Much more so than I could say from pictures, and I didn't watch Try.

I think she did a pretty good job with the kit, overall, once she gets it lined and coated I think it'll be pretty satisfactory.

Have any of the rest of you bought plastic crack for family/friends?

How good are the Volks FSS kits? I've always had a hard time finding them, but someone pointed out to me that there's a site online that sells them for only $70 shipped, which I thought was pretty reasonable.

I'm thinking about the Prominence right now because it looks like the one that needs the least amount of paint and touch-up, but do recommend me any better ones if you can.

Okay, what do you guys think of this? I'm not exactly sure of what I'm going for, but once I saw the G-Exes head I thought of doing something "Brave-like", I guess. So yeah, my main plan is to give this thing a big ass weapon and have it in an Obari pose.

I like the look of the skirt, but I'm not completely sold on it and the Grimgerde's feet. I also feel there should be some better shoulders to use, but I honestly have no idea.

>>14078634
I agree on the shoulders. At first I thought of using F91's, but I'm pretty sure they'd be too small.
>>
>>14078449
in theory yes but that doesn't mean you shouldn't prime it with at least a clear gloss or matte. Instead of a redundant white on white.
>>
>>14078449

if you mean plastic color, it doesn't matter because a good primer will block that out completely
>>
>>14078920
I think he means if you primed white, is it easier to paint than primed blue or black, and to answer his question, usually

yeah I just couldn't tell which he meant from his question, the way he said "a kit that has a" made me think he meant plastic color

Doesn't priming black make metallic colors like gold or silver become more vibrant though?

yes, at which point selectively priming parts by how you will paint them is your best bet. usually, especially with gundam, metallics are not hugely prominent
