Gunpla/Plamo General: non-shitposter edition

Man, the janitors here are doing a terrible job.

So what are you guys building?

*sigh*

You fucking gunpla freaks. Why are you guys spamming /m/ with Gunpla threads. Go visit /toy/ if you want to talk about oh gee I dunno... TOYS? I hope mods lock this up too

Start working on one of your FAGs, you fag.

But really go work on the Full Armor Gundam 7th

>tfw you will never be financially stable to the point where you can blow all your pocket change to get as many plastic robot kits as >>14275849 has and still be okay especially denbronium, seriously man I wish I had that.
Well, feels aside, how many of you guys have made a gunpla kit from the 80's. Any mobile armor kits from the original show?

What's a good tacticool Gundam or GM kit that's not the Jesta or Jegan? I want to give it pistols and be an infiltrator type mobile suit.

>>14275849

Combine them into a cardboard box robot.

No, if I do that I make snapshit look credible.

What is the point of being a nuisance to an online community? Why not spend that time bettering yourself?

Go run a 5K instead of sitting here for 30 minutes choosing a file, waiting for the timer, and then posting and then repeating that process for years.

>>14275946

>>14275879
>made a gunpla kit from the 80's
I built a Dowadge maybe a decade back, if you mean the ones where there's no polycaps and articulation is shit and you have to glue the thing together. In many ways, I would feel unless you don't want to keep it at resin-kit tier and just never pose the thing (always in a static standing standby pose), it's fine enough after painting.

It sucked ass overall (especially the joints), but it was at least nice to cannibalize the beam cannon for an HG Rick Dom II and it's an old-ass kit so no complaining.
For the remaining Dowadge, I just stuffed a heat rod into its hand holes and it became a close-combat only MS at that point.

>>14275948
If snapfit is just trolling to get a rise out of people, his payment are the reactions.

I troll my friends all the time. I get my fill of social interaction and hilarious reactions. Yet I don't shit post.

that guy explained it wrong. we try not to give snapshit any attention in the threads but whenever he makes his own thread, which has become a habit now, we make a different one as a little reminder to him that we all fucking hate him and hope he gets run over by a bus.

If two separate gunpla threads existing at the same time for a short while before the other one quickly dies bothers you so much as to go into full on assblasted mode like you are now, i suggest taking a break from this website.

Sanding is the best way for nub removal. Cutting is just the faster method.

Nub marks look fine. I can barely even see where they were! Sanding, like >>14276329 said is nicer, but knifing is faster. personally I prefer using the knife, and just sanding if it gets too extreme, all before top-coating that is!

Alright, slowly getting there, one bit at a time. God, I hate how the stickers look on the blue pieces. Half tempted to just remove them and call it a day, but they don't look half bad on the white parts. Red I have mixed feelings of though. Almost done with the RX-78, then it's time for the Zaku II!

A lot of people (myself included) generally use the knife to get most of the nub, and then sand down whatever is left.

His recent "contributions" haven't been any better, and aren't very pleasing to look at (nubs, obvious seam lines, . no panel lining, etc). He also avatarfags consistently, and a lot of the stuff he posts is obvious bait.

There's also a conspiracy that he's the guy who used to/still does spam images in the /m/ gunpla threads.

is this nigga serious?

The threads were more "alive" and had a lot more talented builders, or at least talented builders that shared their work before he came along, don't make it seem as though there was some decline in interest of gunpla on /m/ and then snapshit the savior came along to help stimulate positive discussion about gunpla. The gpg threads were really popular and gained a consistent place on this board due to a lot of new people getting into gunpla because of season 1 of build fighters. This was way before you and snapshit appeared on the scene.

>he actually contributes to threads
this nigga cannot be serious.

Posting a poorly constructed nubby OOB builds that no one wants to see over and over is not contributing, it's shitposting. Sometimes it's a different kit, but all in all it's the same shit. And if you don't like the "circle jerk" so badly, why don't you and him fuck off back to to the IRC you came from making fanart of you guys hugging in the rain.

>tries to keep the general threads alive... make an extra thread just to spite him
/m/ is a relatively slow board, so out of courtesy the new threads are usually made when the old one is on page 9 or 10. Making it earlier (which snapfit usually does) is unnecessary and frowned upon since the gunpla threads move so much faster than the rest of the board. It is kinda stupid to make a new thread, before snapfit, the valvrave fag would always make a new thread early, and we did the same thing.

>assume that the actual shitposter spammer is him, despite the fact that he actually contributes to threads
The post you responded to addresses both of these

> who keep uploading sideways pictures of their kits. Something that takes seconds in mspaint to fix.
The rotation data can be stored in the exif tags of a jpeg file, which 4chan strips to reduce file size. This means that it may appear to be the correct orientation before upload, but is sideways afterwards.

Get popsicle sticks, wet and dry use sand paper. Cut sandpaper into strips near size of stick and glue flat as any bumps or ridges in paper unevenly sand. This is a cheap customizable way for flat surfaces. I cut strips of sanding sponges for rounded surfaces only. If it's like the old HGUC zaku 2 I make the parts easy to separate smush together then sand so the edges don't become uneven.

Now depending on the thing I'm sanding I usually start at 400 grit, go to 600, 800 and 1000 then wipe with cloth. If it's heavy remodeling which is rare I'll go lower then 400 first. I personally avoid using sandpaper without a stick because it can make it hard to stay even or level. Remember it's easier to remove then it is to replace.

On a side note use decent lighting or you may sand slightly off. I have a swinging clamp on desk lamp that I can move out of the way if not using.

I'm looking to experiment with some different sandpaper grits. I started with 400 and 1000, is there a 'universal' grits that everyone uses? Or do you choose grits depending on the situation?

>>14277763
The latter. Do you mean removing nubs? I use 600 after either using (lightly) a metal file or a hobby knife to get most of the nub.

I cut the piece off the runner as close to the piece as possible.

I use an Exacto knife to trim off any excess, then a 300 grit sanding stick to remove the mark.

Yet on the piece where the nub used to be, there is now a white dot.

How get rid of white dot?

>>14277797
prime, check if there is any mark left if so sand more prime again if no marks/bumps/indication then paint

mark gone :)

>>14277797
Don't cut as close as possible to the piece, cut a bit further. The white dot is a stress mark because plastic is composed of fibers. When you cut the runner you mostly compress it before the cut is actually made, and cutting close means the piece will be stressed as well.

Hey, what MG would look good alongside Punished Exia, Double X, Tallgeese and Nu? I'm leaning towards the Stein as I ultimately want to have an odd number of MGs for display etc., etc.

Anyways, shill me an MG that would look nice with those. Actually as it happens, I think Exia is already the most out of place.

>>14277827
Turn A or Turn X? You have a kit from different universes.

I'd say that or look for a red, black and white kit, since all but Exia have that scheme. Crossbones?

Why is the HG Local Type Gundam more than double the price of the Revive RX-78?

>>14277827
Crossbone Full Cloth might tie the group together a bit more, by virtue of also having a cape.
Stein is a pretty good choice though, gotta admit.
As a third option you could also widen the group diversity with a Hyaku Shiki 2.0

Fuck, double posted. 4chan was bugging out earlier so I had no idea it actually went through

Hey, guys, what other MG's allow for the LED piece? I got the 2 pack because that's all my local store had in stock, but I only need 1 for the Nu Ver. Ka. What else uses one for the eyes, in green. (I know the newer MG RX-78's have the capability, but they have yellow eyes, and MUH AUTISM wants them to stay yellow, not be green).

>>14277917
Sazabi ver ka.

>>14277917

>>14277917
Sazabi ver ka. Your Nu needs a buddy.

>>14277923
Is it for the Sazabi's eye? Or some other inner part of the kit? I thought green wouldn't work for the Sazabi, which is why I didn't consider it!

>>14277933
I have Ignition Mode Exia, and that requires read: came with 2 of them. I figured the 00 sets required 2 anyway, which is why they have you 2 in the green LED set. If the regular MG only needs 1, I might just get one for the fact of having a regular Exia and a repair Exia.

What about the MG 00, does it only need 2 for the GN drives, or does it need one in the torso for the eyes too?

Thanks for the Feedback, this will help me determine what master grade to get next!

You raise your arm up and the visor slot is right by the face.

7S has a slot for it on the GN Buster Sword
00R has a slot in Raiser
I actually can't figure out the fifth one for 00R so that might be a mistake on dalong's part.

>>14278028
Maybe the GN Sword III? I mean, it has that green blade thing going on, but it seems too small to be able to contain the LED bit?

>>14278044
Interesting. MG and PG 00 Raiser both look cool. Maybe one day, but for now I'm in a UC phase. I still love me some 00, I mean, it was what I watched with my gf first, and now she wants to cosplay Tieria, and it was the last Gundam I watched with my twin brother before he died, so I think the 00 would be a good kit to remember him by.

>>14278060
Honestly, the RG 00 looks the best and if you want a 7 Swords variant it's a rather simple mod using the HG's weapons.

>>14278060
Yo, that is a lot of memories from one show. I can respect wanting to save it for later.
Did he get to watch the movie?
Can you still watch it, or is it hard to now?

>>14278064
Of course! That's on my list too, mostly because I want to get all 3 of Setsuna's suits in RG. I meant more as a center piece, hence why in leaning toward the PG, but the MG looks good too! Heh, funny this all started with my wanting to know what other kits used green LED's, and now I'm dreaming about getting another PG.

>>14277017
based anon

>>14278026
It was actually that way a lot in the series and movies as well

>>14278074
We did watch the movie together a bunch, and he would always poke fun at me for crying for Andrei in it. It was the last Gundam series we saw together, and I think his death is what led or little sister to love Gunpla so much.

His last words to me before he died were the line Lockon keeps saying to Setsuna throughout season 2 and in the movie, probably because he knew it would stick to me like glue. "You can change, [Liz]. I couldn't, so you'll have to do it for me." still can't hear that line without almost getting a tear in my eyes.

I can still watch the series and movie, and I do every so often. It's fun to remember the good old days. It's just, now I can't watch the movie without breaking out in tears throughout the entire third act, or whenever Lockon says the line, it's why 00 means so much to me. I'll get that PG 00Russer one of these days, and I'll build it with my sister, for him!

>>14278172
I don't even have a reason for it and I cry bitch tears when Haro flies back to Ptolemy crying for Lockon.
I kinda wanna see a Dylandy brothers diorama from you with the Dynames and Cherudim now, though

Yellow cover or blue cover for the chest vulcan on rx78 origin mg?

>>14278179
My friend does an amazing Haro impression, and sometimes says "Lockon, Lockon!" On repeat to mess with me. I'm probably gonna cross play Neil Dylandy to compliment my girlfriend's Tieria, eyepatch and all.
I actually have the NG 1/100 Dynames. It shouldn't be too dinged up so I could probably salvage it and repaint it. I should totally get a Cherudim and make a Gundam-bro squad! Might steal this idea for later!

Anyone got any recommendations on Transformers gunpla?

All the reviews I find are for movie ones, but this will be a gift for a child of the original cartoons and comics.

He loves all the Transformers, so I'm not too concerned with what character you suggest.

>>14278210
These are both good choices, but Shijn Musha is kinda old and FA Thunderbolt is unavailable currently
How about a sengoku astray for that musha aesthetic, and for practice as it's your first?

Read the OP again, gunpla = gundam plastic models

The closest thing you'll get to G1 transformers kits are the Kabaya candy toy kits, but they're stickerfests for the most part and are out of print, so you'll have to head onto Ebay for them

should i pay 50$ for the 1/144 pale rider P bandai kit?

If you're getting it JUST to get a Pbandai kit, no.
I hope for your sake that 50 involves shipping as well.

Thanks for the help. I'll keep looking into them.

>>14278383
Rest assured Pale Rider is sitting comfortably in Pbandai, and there are NO indicators for a possible normal release.
Consequently you should have been expecting a Pbandai Gold RG after Blue came out Pbandai.

I kinda think the V2 would tie everything together nicely, but I've heard some bad things about it. Anyone have any experience with the v2 ver. ka?

What's the best mass production Zaku II kit?

>>14278656
Perfect Grade.
Also know as being one of the best PG ever created.

>>14278656
MG 2.0

>>14278619
Looks nice but can't hold gun and things are prone to popping off.

>>14278619
The V2 is one of the only kits I actively regret purchasing, it's an unstable mess that only looks pretty when you have it standing in a nice neutral pose.

>>14278662
PG is old as fuck and has silly proportions.

MG 2.0 Zaku II is still the best thing Bandai has every created. Absolutely perfect in every way.

>>14277899
They made revive gundam and most of the revive kits cheaper than normal to make them appealing to beginners.

Also origin local type isn't known and probably wont even be in the ova so they think it wont sell

>>14278735

>We'll never have a HG Zaku that compares to the MG 2.0

The newer releases are simply too cluttered.

>>14278693
>>14278701
Yeah, that's what I'd thought.
Well shit.

Honestly the main thing keeping me back from the Stein is the head. Something about it is just "off".

>>14278608
so chances are if they do make a water proof gundam its gonna be pbandai. I dont know if they would make a msd aqua gm but its possible. However youd think theyed more then likely use the retcon version thats seen in unicorn.

>>14278816
What? No. I'm doubtful they'd even make it. It's like 99% new kit.

>>14278816

I'd say there's a chance we might see an Aqua GM to go with the Unicorn TV series.

>>14277899
Simple inner frame, less separated outer armor parts. The origin kits seem to have more inner frame plastic and detail, then the parts arnt solid chunks the torso in the zaku 2 origin alone has more parts for the chest shoulder articulation. the front skirt is separated and it has a lot of spare parts from the other molds it uses. Hell the shoulder joint alone is a armature on both sides.

So part separation, amount of plastic, amount of clear plastic, colors, etc etc.

>>14278860
Have we gotten any new Unicorn kits that aren't just recolors aside from the RG Sinanju?

I kinda doubt we would get a new one episode jobber GM particularly when the shamwow is extremely unlikely to get a kit.

Of course it be redesigned slightly for origin but if you look at the original concept and what we have as a base frame right now its vary feasible. Note the way the legs go together the knee and calfs are separate armor from the rest of the leg. Swapping those parts is easily another part of the runner. The front skirt and back skirt unless altered for origin will need changed while the side skirt either swaps out or has the new armor slot over it with the pegs. The crotch will probably be two separate pieces The beam pikes mount on the skirt through a rack that can also attach to the peg.

The arm weapons just mount on the shield slots where as the shoulder armor would be new. The torso armor already is made to slot into the front of the chest and stomach armor so that is another easy swapped part. The back pack is all new unless the redesign it. and the head everything but the visor would need altered but this has been done time and time again. The question is will it be pbandai or normal release if this is the plan. I mean look at the gouf prototype and origin gouf prototype they changed a bit on it for the origin design.

>>14278941
R-really? Thanks Anon o:

>>14278916
In one of the manga they have it so the zee zulu take on aqua gm and waterproof gundam. Both are so dated they hardly keep up.

Anyone know when the RG Qan[T] is supposed to available for shipping?
I know the kit's finally released in japan, but the wait is killing me.

>>14278916
So far it been 1:1 with some minor improvements and about 7 minutes of intro, outro, recap and episode preview.

I kinda doubt it, but the Torrington episodes and final battle episodes are the most likely to get expanded for merchandising.

Because Origin is not the same as the original series. It actually appears in origin rather than as a msv. It being engaged by one of Char's flunkies and using a beam on it causes the Zaku's reactor to go critical and blow a hole in side 7.

Anybody here ever order from usagundamstore.com? How was their service?

>>14279128
>>14279102
And IIRC the reason they made it yellow in origin is that it's more of a prototype for early testing purposes and the sort of crash dummy look is meant to reflect that.

About to place my order.

Airbrush noob here, got a pretty nice old double action aztek from a friend for free, now I need some kind of compressor. The thing is my dad has a pretty heavy duty 150 psi compressor for a nail gun (porter-cable brad nailer) so I was wondering if it's possible to use that thing for airbrushing, I know I'd need an adapter and that you ideally want to be doing airbrushing around 10-20 psi but I'm not sure the thing goes that low easily.

>>14277788
Yes.

>>14279149
Wait, what purpose does it have being piss yellow? To detect chunks of it that get rekt?

>>14279838
I'm not sure at all, but you'd need a water trap, a very fine psi regulator and something to convert from 1/4 to 1/8 inches. Talking out of half remembered things I've heard so don't take my word for it.

I think the psi is far too high to even start with anyway.

>>14279629
Indeed, while you still have a long way to go, you're showing improvement. Thin your paints, and be a bit more careful. Also WTF paints are you using anyways?

maybe 4 people said anything about the gm yesterday. but the moment someone posts something that looks like it wasnt done by a pro everyone is quick to jump down his throat. 10+ replies

HGUC...

the arm parts have runner switches for the ifield generator. The Murasama already done on the HGBF. They only need to repaint the non white parts and give it a new head

I never said that. I'm not going anywhere and you have no idea how far my influence reaches OR the caliber of my personal skill.
You are whats wrong with this place.

If you are CRITICISING someone elses WORK for the sake of stroking your own EGO from now on you WILL BE CALLED OUT

>>14280032
I'm skeptical of that to be honest. I know Bandai fuckery, but is there really enough of a demand for the X3 in HG form?

>>14280034
A lot of things.

The X3 has a different chest and head fins. The X2 also has different head fins from either. The X3's big feature was the Muramasa Saber/Blaster, but the HG Full Cloth has that, so now, yes. If you bought the X1, X1 Kai, X2, X2 Kai, and Full Cloth you could re-paint/bash them into any of the Crossbone Variants.

So what's everyone working on tonight?

>>14280105
shitposting.
I've made 5+ different trips with different personalities and different methods of trolling for the sole purpose of causing chaos and disrupting this board to the point that newcomers are discouraged from the hobby altogether and people stop buying kits that I want to buy resulting in me having to wait months for a backordered model.

>>14280105
nothing, i haven't worked on my gunpla in over a year
i swear i'll finish the two i have though

>>14280105
Was planning on working on my X3 tonight, but other plans seem to be saying no.

>>14280095

Packing to move on Wednesday. As soon as I unpack though, I am going to finish my GM Strike-Sniper. (GM Striker/K9 Dog Pack/Zudah anti-ship rifle)

>>14280105
1/100 Graze, I'd post a picture but my camera is fucked.

Anyone else build the weapons first? Then move ground up? I tried going body > head > arms > legs > weapons but I got burned out on a kit way too fast and the weapons normally ended up botched.

>>14280098
No sir bud. This is the only custom Ive done so far, though I have a few more planned in the works now that Im done with the semester.

>>14280103
>>tfw I own no monoeyes and feel confused by it

Feels god.

Just finished snapping together my Graze Ein. I'm not in the mood to panel line it right now, but I think I might just denub some of my older kits.

>>14280048
Thank you based mods, you have done great work in allowing tripfags and spammers to rule this board.

Just finished everything but the Bazooka and the Core Fighter for this guy. I have to say, the only thing I hate about it are the shoulder armor, and the hands, but I have some Builder's Parts hands I'll probably put on it so I don't keep losing the fingers. Also hate how it attaches to the base. What was Bandai thinking making the connection loose and in the butt? I mean, yeah, it's the first RG, but still.

Gonna probably finish the Bazooka and the Core Fighter on Tuesday night, since my girlfriend is flying in to visit so we can look for apartments, and we'll be out all weekend, so no gunpla making this weekend, sadly.

What do you guys think of my RG? Aside from the decals Which I do want to get some day, anything else I can fix up?

>>14280251
Okay, you see this? See how the stickers stand out How do we stop that? How do we make the stickers blend in more so it's not so shit looking? No offense to your Mk II Anon, but it's just the most recent example.

early prototype aircraft are rarely painted in gaudy parade colors. those little sensor roundels for cameras to track are far more important than looking cool shooting Zakus.

>>14280264
I'm not sure what you are talking about but if it's silvering that's basically something typically air stuck underneath, otherwise top coat will make it not stick out.

>>14279845

what purpose do ANY suit colors have you retard

>>14280103
Good
Don't support Bandai's incessant monoeye releases
Obviously, the superior visor grunts are the better choice.

>>14280378
What if we love all grunts equally and request they release variants instead of dumb colorschemes?

>>14280390
re/100 and p-bandai comes into play

>>14280390
I don't dislike monoeyes, in fact I own more monoeye kits than visor grunts
But that's the problem
We get way more monoeyes than we do visor grunts. How about giving them equal amounts of releases?
Fucking Bandai

>>14280413
They release what sells.

>>14280425
I don't know what irritates me more, Bandai for only releasing monoeyes,or all the people with disgustingly bad taste who keep buying it all up

I just noticed /m/'s and /toy/'s general have the same pic.

>>14280460
I just wish non-UC grunts got some love.

>>14280473
Even late UC grunts get no love, where's my fucking Gun-EZ kit?

>>14280460
It's quite simple.

The Gundam(s) of a series always sell
The Zaku of a series has the Char of the series pilot it to make it look good and sell well.
The GM of a series basically only exists to fight the Zakus or job to the Char or MS/MA/Etc. of the week. That's not gonna sell as well.

>>14280494
I understand that, but it wouldn't hurt to make the GMs look cool too. Of course it'll sell like shit if it's treated like shit in the shows, so obviously they need to just make it look good too. So why don't they? What's with their hatred for visor suits? It sucks, man.

>>14280494

my problem with the GM is that it's pretty limited by the roles it fills

GMs stay within the typical boxy shape that doesn't give as much variation and almost always are taken in a tacticool direction, I'm not sure why they haven't branched out more

like seriously when are we going to see a superpowered GM whatever with THREE tiers of vents and TWO headset antenna

>>14280460
should be irritated at yourself for not buying enough non monoeye suit, you fucking feddie piece of shit

I think at this point now it's also a circular thing they don't care about the GMs because they don't sell because they don't care and so on.

Really though, anything other than an HG for the Leo just won't do, it needs to be cheap so you can build a squad

>>14280686
Most of Wing's modern releases are MGs, which includes all the Gundams, so it makes sense to release it as part of the re/100 series.

Taking one for the team if these don't work. Got them from Bunnings in Aus, twice the size of Tamiya at half the price.

Gonna test the Satin coat on a bad paint job I did and will be priming some stuff this weekend.

I wonder what base kit the black Jegan uses. ECOAS? Whatever the case, I'm buying it for the rifle. I'll just make it the regular Jegan it's supposed to be.

>>14280995
I tried using non model spray can for a matte top coat. It reacted to bare plastic. I still haven't found an alternative for mr.surfacer that wont cover up details.

Rustoleum cans tend to spit out a lot of paint, try to go light on the coats
Krylon is another cheap brand that is a lot better

What do you guys think of the diorama I completed today?

>>14281408
Pretty basic, the point of a diorama is generally to tell a story in the form of a scene. All I know here is that this is a Zaku on ground, why is it there? Are those supplies spent or are they fresh? Are they enemy supplies? There's no context to why it is where it is, so it doesn't really gain anything beyond just being a figure standing by itself. Looks like you have the fundamentals of getting your model and scene looking decent though, I'd just work on figuring out what you want to be having happen a bit more.

>>14281421
Forgot to post the story:

After the fifth mobile suit war ravaged the planet and the emissions produced in war time accelerated global warming and global desertification this zaku stands on what is the last patch of fertile ground on the entire planet always alert. All he has left are the weapons at hand and the supplies at his feet to protect it and the planet from complete ruin.
