GunPla / PlaMo General

Alright, gonna pull the trigger on:
Hazel Advanced
Nemo (Zeta colors)
GM Sniper II
GM Striker

Still don't know what I should use as a villain suit.
Would a Bawoo be too OP? I think we established that a Döven Wolf is too stronk, and I know the Bawoo is up there.

Got an idea for a diorama, but I'd like it to make some sense.

Decided to bite the bullet and get a couple Commander Jahannams (one to straight build, and one for a custom project, probably using a crossbone backpack) since they were only four bucks each on HLJ's clearance. Is it an alright kit? The design looks cool but I never built any G Reco kits yet.

I don't normally use stickers for decals and obviously I could just go by the guide but I really wanted to customise it myself. Personal preferences etc but I really like the general revil decal on the chest. Plus Im going to build it in unicorn mode and I didn't want it looking like an amorphous navy blob.

WHY

>>14138901

That looks so neat and orderly.

Usually takes me a few attempts to get it that nice, because half of the parts want to lean in different directions.

>>14138901
I dont have clips or a set up to spray them suspended.

>>14139000
They're like 9 dollars for a pack of 50

>>14139000
A scrap of stryofoam and some fucking bbq sticks is just too much huh?

>>14139000
those arnt even on clips, the sticks are made of cut up runners with their tips melted and stuck on the underside of the part. essentially everything you need is already in the box.

>>14139000
>>14139030
>>14139034

as a owner of three for kit bash, kit bash and normal reasons I can say its gonna be alot of work. the caridigan gm or however its spelled leg thrusters are two big. The legs are longer on purpose not just to be katokied. The heads shape is elongated compared to the gm type c and also a different shape.

Not trying to knock you building skills at all Im just giving a heads up as finding shots from all angles and stuff alone is going to be hard.

unrelated but man oh man am I having issues trying to seam weld these two pieces. It's the chest and back of the legs on the GM Cannon II. They just refuse to weld together no matter how many times I reapply that putty.

Fuck, the Nu-Ver Ka has a lot of runners. I think it's more than the Sinanju Stein.

>>14139674
Haha, I can see that. Things have changed in the past year or so it seems. I know ANT is dead and the threads died down a lot. Does richigo still post?

>>14139688
As much as I'd like to say, "Just block me if you don't like it" I wont that's a toxic mentality and I like the general. Call me a sentimental fucktard for all I care. This goes for other "drop the trip" posts too. There are valid reasons to use a trip in a general and so long as it's self contained so I see no harm. Anyways, not like it really even matters. this isn't about gunpla/plamo.

Is the shitposter gone?

>>14139786
>Does richigo still post?

I saw him post in the last thread.

So which has less issues between the MG Qan[T] and MG 00 Raiser? From what I'm seeing both seem to have issues with pieces sometimes falling off, and the Qan[T] has that heavy lean with the shield on. Kind of like both suits but trying to get the one that has the less issues

>>14139843
The Qan[T] and 00 are both very good kits. They have basically the same frame from what I recall but the plate armor has differences. The 00 looks a bit more detailed and the Qan[T] has balance issues the 00 doesn't. If you really like the Quan[T] get it. It's not bad by any means and reinforcing the joints helps a ton.

>Gamestop starting to sell IBO kits

Uhhhh, is there going to be a major American release of the IBO dub or something?

There's not any really reason to sell such a niche item at GameStop.

>>14139951
They're probably betting it will be like Wing and get a lot of people into the franchise.

>>14139963
>inb4 flops and we never get anything again
Of all the things to gamble on, why IBO? Why not 00 or Unicorn or GBF?

So I just built my first gunpla the other night. It was the Kamiki Burning Gundam.

I'm considering buying another kit soon. But I dunno what. I only have one requirement right now:

It's gotta have a sword

So can you guys recommend and cool-ass robots with swords that would be good for someone still new like me? I need to still buy a couple of tools, but I should be able to make due with what I have.

>>14139984
Astray Red Frame has a bigass Katana.
I think the blue Astray has a bigass sword.
One of the Grazes comes with a sword, I believe.
Sword striker has a sword with a fuckin beam in it.
Some of the Barbatos kits comes with a katana.

>>14140143
Views on average were about G-Reco level (~2%), even a little higher around Episode 20 iirc, and no doubt boosted for the finale but we never saw the final ratings. However for an episode or two ratings were REALLY low, dunno if there was an external reason for that but it was around the series' lowest points in terms of quality so probably not. On top of that, it was in a primetime slot (for comparison, Yu-Gi-Oh followed it and averaged about 4%) and appeared to be getting fairly hyped up but was still only pulling late-night ratings. A dub and streaming services were announced too, but we don't know how much that factors into sales expectations. It's hard to truly tell how much Bandai was pushing it because we don't see how many times they air commercials and previews and shit compared to other series, but for these reasons we can assume it performed below what was desired. However, gunpla sales seemed fine and character merch seems successful enough so it could hardly be called a flop.

I would love to see a SD Graze and a SD Graze Ein.

I recently picked up an finished an MG Sinanju Stein. Hands can't hold the bloody weapons for shit. However I do have one issue with the intact hand. The fucking ball part that connects the hand to the forearm/wrist came off in the socket however the hand snaps back onto it, should I ask for a replacement for that hand seeing as I have to replace the other one, or should I try welding it together?

>>14140810

I would buy the shit out of an SD Graze Ritter.

>>14140843

It's a good thing that the Ritter is the reason I got into IBO in the first place. I saw a preview of the gunpla box for the Ritter and instantly fell in love. I'm always a slut for the whole Centurian look!

Painters, in regards to paint setup/primer setup how do you go about it? I've got a cardboard box filled with smaller sectioned off cardboard pieces, alligator clips holding parts slotted into the holes.

From there what's the right way to do things? I'd be spraying primer with a rattlecan then painting with an airbrush. To my knowledge the guide doesn't mention this.

Spraying in an open garage.

>>14138901
Wait, you're not supposed to do that?

>>14140941
it sort of sometimes makes the edges touching the cardboard really gross and weird looking, the paint might come off a bit, overall it ends up looking poor

>>14141178
What kind of thinner are you using? Cause it's probably that.

>>14141144

The FA Gundam in Thunderbolt has elbow and knee joint coverings to stop debris from getting in there.

Still looks weird, though.

The old Gundam ver Ka doesn't even really have a frame to reuse, and needs glue to boot. This is probably going to be the first vKa 2.0.

>>14141497
I'll be honest, I haven't seen Thunderbolt. I must've gotten trolled some time ago because someone had told me Johnny Ridden was in it and that was his Psycho Zaku. I apologize.

So, I've been thinking about developing a tabletop game for 1/144 scale Gunpla. From what I've thought up for concept:
>every model would need an action base
>must be 1/144 scale (all 1/144 grades allowed so long as you can put them on an action base)
>probably space battles only for now, since Terrain would be tricky
>probably something along the lines of Battletech, for customization rules
>Rules for weapons and such would be by AU, as well as judged by WYSIWYG, so you can kit bash
>You can mix and match AU's so you can go build fighters, do Zakus vs Wing Gundams, or just reenact stuff from the anime/manga

Then there's the whole issue of balancing everything, which would be hell and a half, but doable.

So what do you guys think? Would anyone be interesting in playing/play testing? Or is there something like this already out there?

>>14142118
Sounds interesting, but difficult to even make.

>>14142118
I think I saw some rules made for MSiA scale. No clue if they were anything good.

There's no way you could balance it, but it could be good for fun.

There were legit tabletop games made that used little chits over in Japan, apparently one of the early games got reissued a few years back
http://en.gundam.info/topics/white/4965

>>14142127

I've got plenty of 1/144's, I think the main issue would be the actual weapons/base stats, but I could always piggy back off of an existing system like Battletech or 40K, or something.

>>14142146

This looks neat, albeit very simple. Could also piggy back off of this?

>inb4 I go GW 2 - electric boogaloo with rules cheese

>>14142183
Well, I think that the first thing you should think of is how many numbers you want, how deep the game would be, what systems would be in, and what kind of game you really want it to be. I don't know much about traditional games, but do you want a dice game or tactics, RPG like, or such?

Naoki's shots of the HG Revive Force Impulse are up

https://twitter.com/n_a_o_k_i_

looking bretty smexy mayne.

>>14142195

For what I envision, it will be like a simulator of the show/manga. "Reenact your favorite scenes from the show, or make your own!"

I've played 40K and Battletech extensively, and am familiar enough with a bunch of tabletop systems. It's just a matter of making things easy to streamline, since I doubt everyone who builds Gunpla, and who would be interested in said game, would want to read 3 textbooks of rules.

Battletech has a nice manner of stating out mecha, but a pretty complicated system overall. 40k is pretty cinematic and streamlined, but more for a bigger scale, so individual units aren't as grand usually. Just gotta find that equilibrium.

>>14142215
Well, you could make two versions, a pretty barebones one at first and update it when ready with a new "expansion".
Just make UC first, give them some base stats and an easy system. Hell you could use cards too.

>>14142226

That's a good idea. Make some stats for the RX-79-2, maybe the Guncannon and Guntank and some Zakus, then move onto more specialized AU mobile suits and models. Might need to get some more HGUC kits then. Or maybe I'll do IBO, since I got plenty of them to work with. Good call!

proportions look closer to the MG Impulse which is really nice. Although I've never owned one, as I don't build larger than 1/144, I always thought the MG Impulse, and the MG Infinite Justice both looked sexy as hell, and I'm still not sure how they fucked up so hard with the MG Strike Freedom.

Reborns is okay but it's pretty low priority compared to the ones with no modern kits.

Bell pepper is a boring design but it's popular and is a massive hunk of expensive plastic so it probably fits right in with the Nightingale in the Re/100 line.

Gundam Markers are made for people too lazy to paint. They are usually applied directly onto the plastic without primer.
If you're worried about the ABS, top coat it, and then apply the marker.

just curious, do you mean the gundam markers that has the paint come out when you press on the tip?
if its not, just ignore the long post ahead:

i believe its the gundam marker eraser that makes ABS brittle, not the paint itself because the eraser contains paint thinner.
used to use gundam markers all the time(shut up, i was lazy, learned my ways), especially on inner frames. had a baaaaaaaaaad run in when using eraser on the knee joint on sinanju ver ka, you can guess what happened.
since then, i've learned my ways and fixed his knee with putty and gave him a paint job, but gundam marker should only be used for touching up small details
tldr: only use gundam marker for small details, the eraser can fuck up ABS

Yes I'm talking about regular thick marker. It has something about ABS written there.

I've heard about the eraser, but there's also similar issue with GM301 for panel lining. The ink is very thin to simulate washing technique so I suspect it has the same solvent with that eraser.

(You)

what are some suits with dual machine guns?

>>14143996
You know, that's incredibly accurate.

So anons I'm about to build my first gunpla. I'm wondering if you could give me some advise. When I read these threats I see how much dedication and love you guys pour into your gunpla and I really admire that, but as a newbie I'm not even sure how far I should go on my first build.

Personally I'd just like to build my gunpla without painting it/coating it yet. I figured that I had better just practice the building basics first on 1 or 2 kits before I try my hand at painting, but is this smart or should I just man the fuck up and do that on my first kit?

>>14145763
If you don't feel up to painting yet, build a kit or two and paint when you're comfortable. It's not like the kits are unpaintable after you build them, you can go back to that later.

At the very least, make sure to sand the nubs, and maybe try your hand at seam wielding.

>>14145774
Oh and, panel lining and top coat. Those are the super easy basics.

>>14145774
>>14145776
Nubs, panel lining and the top coat I was definitely going to do.

Thanks for the advice anon!

>>14145778
Yeah, good luck. No need to rush painting, or you'll just make even more mistakes. Take your time to look up guides about it so you'll know exactly what to do. You'll most likely still mess up, but it'd still look acceptable, and not a horrible sloppy mess like mine that I had to burn in a fire to hide my shame.

Goddammit, I've just bent my badger airbrush needle to the point where its fucked.

It's supremely annoying to keep clearing out tip dry, I never thought the needle could be so flimsy. I'm pretty sure even my chink shit brush was tougher than this.

>>14145837
Good thing needles are cheap and easy to find. Or you can just straighten it yourself if its not too fucked

>The P Bandai train never ends

In jabman025's video review of MG Dark Matter Exia, he mentioned painting the (originally) gray GN Sword blue, and intentionally made it frosty to give it an ice theme, to contrast it against the clear orange of the other sword.

I think that's pretty neat, and I'm interested in doing the same for those swords on my HG.
Problem is, I want the base suit to look ambiguous, not too obviously "good" or "evil" (I think Dark Matter Exia falls under the latter).

Any ideas / suggestions on what the base suit should be?
I suppose Transient looks pretty neutral.

>>14145425

Shit lighting. Interesting concept, I wonder how a parachute would even work on something like that.

You need to clean dem nubs, panel line it, and you'd be surprised how much a top coat does. I usually don't paint parts if I'm not going to change the color, unless I need to hide nub marks. And a top coat really makes the kit look like it's been detailed.

Your call, /m/.
the RX-78-2 HGUC or the Barbatos HG?

>>14146286
assuming you are going to seam-weld,paint, and panel line later, the back-pack is far too large with that minigun ammo cannister, suggest bulking out the legs and chest more. also, that minigun(or gatling gun) looks like its going to fall off, try having it hand held so it looks more secure.
honestly, it just looks like you just slapped on weapons on an ez8

Source on P-Bandai?

Is it because it's on the same page as the other P-Bandai items?

Gundam Guy doesn't count as a source. They tried to announce RGs and Unicorn RG for like 2 years now.

Also what's the item to the left? HGPG?

It didn't get even get a single good cut. I really don't understand why so many people are buying IBO kits.

>>14146981
I'm into tanks, historicals, and warhammer, pretty much anything, in general just searching tank model insignia or tank model variations will bring up old websites with a dozen different diagrams of variations of a tank, with painting and where markings go, but as far as i know there's no website with all of them on it
