Gunpla/Plamo General

First for RG Slash Zaku Phantom

I have an MG Turn A Gundam which has been snap fitted and panel lined laying around.

Are there any official art of where decals may go on it? It came with a dry transfer sheet, but I dunno where to put them.

How does your hobby shop not carry Tamiya or at the very least Testors cans?

>>14532072
It has giant racks of both Tamiya and Testors paints, both in can and jar form, but the only topcoats it has were Rustoleum matte and clear. I nabbed a bottle of Future for clear instead of that crap, and I decanted cans of Tamiya White Primer and Fine Primer I bought, but I have no idea how fucked I am for a flat topcoat.

>>14532101
If it has Tamiya paints it ought to have one called "flat clear" which is a flat topcoat. Testors might also. Check out that.

>>14532127
Believe me man, if the store had Tamiya flat clear available, I would've purchased it. I looked through all those racks thoroughly. But it didn't. So I just wanna know how bad I should distort my face after airbrushing this garbage.

>>14532198
Dang. You can't order online?

>>14532249
I probably could, but I was sort of hoping to try and make this stuff work since I already have it. However, it's been a few weeks since I've been there, so I'll head back on Wednesday and see if anything's changed.

Lining is thick, but I'm using a.25mm micron pen. Paint thinner weakened a joint to the point where is broke off. As per a /m/ anon is "awkward". For my first attempt this build served it's purpose as a good learner, but i need some tips on outline.

To dull the lining, I use a qtip. It usually makes it a nice grey instead of hard black. I hear some people use erasers aswell, but I've had no experience.

I am getting a grey gundam marker but I'll try this q tip idea out. Thanks!

Looks like it's back to using Vallejo + matte medium for a nice mix of self-levelling and flow property then.

Alternatively, which fine tipped pens give a fairly dark grey without going all the way to being black-ish?

>>14532450
I bought one at target which isn't very fine tipped but makes a nice dark gray thats not quite black. Sometimes you just have to use a lot of cotton swabs if the color's right.

Cool.

I saw that curing is mentioned for painting your kit.
I got acrylic paints so i understand waiting a week for it to cure. Now does this mean I paint it then wait a week before assembling and applying top coat or am I allowed to do that and then wait a week before playing with it?

>>14533417
The former.

>>14533493
Wow okay. So leave every piece disassembled for a week? I definitely need a paint stand now.

>>14533499

>>14534251
Note how she can only mention Unicorn and Build Fighters -- methinks she hasn't actually seen any of the other shows. Victory in particular has a fuck ton of strong women characters who, while dying along with most of the other characters, all teach something to Uso and die in the line of fire. Marbet even has to act as a guardian, saviour, and instructor to the rookies Odelo and Tomache. They're never shown as controlled or in need of saving. Hell, the women in the show do a lot of the controlling of the antagonists - Fuala, Katejina, Lupe all control their male counterparts and compatriots in significant portions of the show.
Very little of them need "saving" by a knight in shining armor. Maybe Shakti? But she's never a damsel-in-distress, she's only really even in a position of danger because of her own volition - she's doesn't leave fighting the war and resolving the conflict to the men and Uso, she has her own agency, acts according to her own wishes, with her own idea of how to stop the war with the Zanscare. The one woman who needed saving was Uso's mother, the person who taught him survival skills as a child, and designed the Victory Two at the very least. She also ended up being one of the very many people Üso couldn't save.
Sure, Queen Maria is controlled by Kagatie to an extremely large extent, but that was just a part of the plot and analogous to puppet states and rulers throughout history.

She genuinely doesn't seem to know shit about what she's talking about and clearly speaks off of incredibly limited experience with "most Gundam series". She's probably a dubfag, so some of the subtlety (I use that term very loosely) is most likely lost in translation. Subs are far from perfect, but knowing a little bit of Japanese + English subtitles lets you go far further than English or other language dubs.

She probably even never watched the original series. LaLa was strong to the point where char would've been out of a job. They even make jokes about it in Gundam-San.
Not to mention she has a problem with allenby using a ribbon, but master asia is using a towel isn't even mentioned. I know some forms of martial arts use this as well, but there could've been a large amount of different weapons used instead of it. Point is the complaints are stupid, and anyone crying "sexism" or "misogyny" nowadays need a fucking wakeup call to reality.

The person who wrote that is still a fucking tard because she says ribbon dancing comes from "Germany" and that the Neo Swedish girl should have been given a Claymore (a Scottish weapon) if they wanted to make their fighting styles accurate to the country of origin. So yeah, everything she is quite literally wrong, especially that last bit about "knight-in-shining-armor" thing.

Which Lego released after people kept asking why there were no Lego "for girls" and were based on a couple years worth of market study and product testing which found that most girls who do not already play with Lego preferred the purple and pink sets and the ones that didn't preferred the pre-exisng "Boys" Lego.

They gave the biggest group of girls what they wanted. It just wasn't what the SJW wanted.

You are the real enemy to equality, friend.

>>14534821
The real problem with that wasn't that there were no "legos for girls" that's not what we asked for. We wanted the marketing to not exclude girls. If you watch lego commercials from the 70s and 80s they had girls playing with the boys with the SAME legos.
Girls who play with legos generally show interest in STEM careers.

We just wanted to undo the problematic thinking of "legos are boy toys"
Legos were always intended to be unisex.

Those suits may imply that for you but I'm fairly certain that the GunEZs, GunBlastors, and the Victory Type Gundam, are all piloted mostly by females. It's not that their message is "women can't pilot cool looking mechs", people CHOOSE to interpret it that way and cause a shitstorm.

That because 10 or more girls before you are usually orders that kind of gunpla, the owner just repeat what the girl usually ask.

>implying women can't pilot cool looking mechs they have to be girl mechs with breasts even.

Jeeze they just want to sell feminine armor anon, not like what you think of. Alot of gundam girl also pilot lots of good shit, like Kampfer, Kshatriya, Victory Gundam, Psycho Gundam, Hazel series, and list still goes oooon.

Buy them on Amazon, there's 50-100 packs for very nice pricing.

Hello /m/, I'm getting my first kit soon, and I'm buying the supplies tomorrow. Should I get a sanding stick or an exacto knife for nub removal? Maybe both?

>>14535667
Appropriately it lost due to surprise attacks and hidden weapons.

>>14535706
Yeah, for the same price that it takes to buy these six packs, but I've already begun the process, so I need them asap.

>>14535708
Yes, both since they're used in different ways. For sanding sticks you can go to a store that sells sandpaper and then glue that to Popsicle sticks if you want to save on cash.

>>14535729
Ah, ok. Thank you.

>>14535738
If you stick your sandpaper in water there's less plastic dust while sanding, so do that for health reasons. Same with sanding files. When you sand only sand in one direction to not curve off square areas.

A friend of mine bought a Jesta Cannon MG for 120 dollyroos at a convention and kept breaking parts of it while he was building it.

>>14535471
Gourge marks look unrealistic (no visible damage on the surrounding surface). Bullet holes on leg skirt and arm are look to deliberately paced (straight line, in the center of the piece) and look a bit off as, again, the surrounding area looks unaffected and the holes themselves just end, with no exit wound or anything. Additionally, the holes themselves are the same colour as the plastic instead of silver or black. The wiring idea looks good, but those dots are out of scale. Remember, those dots would be 144 times larger in real life. Some smaller gauge copper wire could also be used

Overall, good effort. Keep it up! You might also find weather guides on AFV models to be useful if you continue, as they'll give you some good ideas techniques you can try.

>>14535708

I figure he probably was trying to rip parts out of the runner with his hands rather than clipping them out.

When Wing was airing in the US, I was a 4th grader who first encountered Wing no-grade gunpla in the local Toys'r'Us, and as I was lacking a hobby nipper, I was reduced to twisting out bits or using scissors to try and cut parts out of the runners.

It was a hellish, spiky time, but those brave Wing figures created a lifelong passion for gunpla with their sacrifice.

Does anyone here have the 1/72 VF-31? I'm thinking of picking it up, but the only plamo I've built are a couple of HG kits. Further, I'm having trouble finding information regarding its structure and quality (the only in-depth review I've found was in moonrunes).

I know that there's an ass-ton of stickers to put in place, but I can't tell if this thing is snap-assembled or if it requires cement..

Would some kind anon please spoonfeed me on what I would need to put this thing together? I'm going to go pick up some top-coat and modeling tweezers at the store tomorrow, and I'd like to know if I need anything else.

Well, at the time, it was also the modem-internet era and Gundam and gunpla were a very, very new thing in the US that would remain as such for at least another 10 years for me.
Information was zero-to-nil outside of actually ordering kits through the internet via import.

I didn't even know there WERE hobby nippers at the time Wing was on Toonami; I had to get into Warhammer 40k in high school to actually figure out there was dedicated tools to get model bits off of the runners.

its still a Bandai snap together kit, VFs share a lot of technology with gunpla but are more complicated and designed to achieve a different goal than a gundam kit (perfect transformation vs. details and poseability). my VF-27 was about as complicated as a MG with an inner frame in the legs and lots of accessories, but the body is filled with a lot more moving parts you can break and everything fits at much tighter tolerances to keep things stable. another big difference is the markings, you need to decide whether to use the big sheet of peel and place stickers or jump into applying the set of waterslide decals, which are more accurate and look nice but will take you hours to apply and need to be properly protected with topcoat to keep them from rubbing off.

look through Dalong's review of the VF-31, you'll learn more about how everything goes together by looking at the parts breakdown and manual scans than just reading a review.

I was an elementary schooler at the time, and Japanese instruction manuals were just so much gobbledy-gook to me that I couldn't make heads or tails of anything more than "connect C3 to C4 with polycap PC5 between them."

As well, these were no-grade kits where the hands weren't even real hands, but just oddly shaped polycaps that looked like hands and had a hole in the middle for a weapon instead of molded plastic like in an HG (but the G-Reco and IBO kits are giving those old kits a run for their money, since their hands are also increasingly cheap and simple to the point that triggers are either recessed into the gun grip or just floats uselessly above the hand).

Does anyone have that guide for modifying the 1/100 barbatos frame to put the gusion parts on it?

It's like they hate money and didn't learn their goddamn lesson from their Graze sales.

Does anybody else think all gunpla will be P Bandai within the next couple years? There's been more p bandai kids than normally released kits this year. And you have cases the Water Proof Gundam that are mostly new parts, but still P Bandai anyway.

I mean, I guess Bandai has no reason NOT to make everything P Bandai. They can just cut out the middle man of distributors. They won't miss the foreign market at all.

That prototype Hi-Mo Origin Zaku II I was okay with being a P-Bandai since if you really want to you could just buy any of the Origin Zaku IIs and a Prototype Dom and slap the top half of one on the other.

But this looks like a much more involved release that would probably have sold better than the Original the Gundam that this kit is based off of that probably won't even show up in the OVAs like the Prototype Gouf because it's one of those MSD kits. I mean there isn't anything the Local Type Gundam does that the EZ-SR set doesn't do better for 200 yen less.

>>14536292
That would pretty much be financial suicide. Waterproof Gundam probably would've been a regular release in the Origin line if Bandai wasn't also juggling between three other HG lines at the moment for release date spaces. Makes me wish for the days when all we had were a single TV show and the one random Gundam OVA airing alongside it.

as somebody who has both specifically getting the valuable pod way back figuring on a revive gyan,i can confirm that all the parts can work with revive gyan EXCEPT the shoulder armor.
that said,general tweaking and modding will leave you with a gyan vulcan,really the only major issue is weither or not you still want to ability to swap around between normal gyan and gyan vulcan or stand alone valuable pod,the pod never stayed together too well in the first place and revive gyan is cheap enough that you could get 2 if your really wanting both of them readily available.
the way i modded the shoulder armor still allows for switching back to vanilla gyan other than some pegs on the shoulders.
so its not impossible by any means,it just needs some work

This is the Messiah I built in 2007. Even though it was the second Bandai kit I built, I didn't have any problem with it; just follow the directions and you'll be fine.

About the stickers, the ones in the fuselage don't look that bad if you apply them carefully and cut the excess off. I suggest applying them as you build the pieces instead of at the end; it's easier to manipulate small parts than the entire plane. On the other hand, the ones in the super parts look like shit, as you can see in the picture, but it's the price you pay for not decaling/sealing.

But just get one already anon, topcoats will meld the decal with the model so it not really as noticable as the uncoated one.

Also it will protect your models from scratch and prevent your decals to fall off over and over. And it will hide any soft scratch gained from nub filling and sanding.

Yes, yes, I'm sure it's never occurred to the evil old white men making up the marketing illuminati that if their own campaign has proven to have the clout to visibly influence their target market's tastes, it might just be profitable to use it to tap into a completely uncovered market.

No, it took the bright young minds on tumblr to show them that the rich old white men what results their own professions, one very heavily interested in its own results, actually have.

And maybe if some especially enlightened old white man did notice it, he obviously wouldn't act on the lucrative market, because we all know rich old white men place their ideals (oppressing minorities) over money.

They're just giant ecaps for the shoulder cannons

Its a water tank, and the whole backpack is actually a water compressor.

Its water cannons.

Double X is really brave looking in my opinion.
It just needs a red/blue/gold recolor and for the satellite cannons to face upwards instead of downwards and it would be a 10/10 brave.

The Double X has always reminded me of Dancouga due to the green crystal in the chest and the color.

It has always reminded me more of the Sol gravion because of the green chest crystal thing and back cannons. Only the pallete is completely different.
Don't really see a resemblance to dancouga, to be honest.

>>14536540
>>14536561
Am I the only one who LIKES the safety flags? I think they add a little bit of character to what would otherwise be just a pointy crest. Like how Zeon command horns aren't truly just spikes, but have a little bit of contour to them.

>>14538005

I actually like the look of them on some kits, but they're so large that if I were to leave them on I would still sand them down like, a millimeter and add a gentle slope to it.

I was building one of the Kotobukiya optional weapon sets and for the love of god I actually liked how one of the nubs looked.

>>14537452
Nobody knows? Still can't find jack shit on construction guides and no reviews mention anything.

It's more the shape of the chest thing and the shoulders, the yellow on the sides and the color palette. I don't see the Gravion resemblance, it's too colorful.

>>14538023
Thats why I said the pallete on the SolGravion is completely different.
I've always wanted to do a Sol Gravion paintjob on my MG DX.

Thankies much. This was minutes after it was all done getting slapped together, so there isn't a pose as such. That's what this is for.

>>14538005
They look like shit 99% of the time. The FA gundam does them right by adding a bit of character to the v-fin, but they're way too chunky most of the time.

>>14538015
Is the problem the same for both legs or just one?

>>14535957
You break me down... but build me back up. I agree with all your comments and thank you very much for the advice. I will work on a more realistic gash and bullet holes. I will look for inspiration and examples before the next attempt. Thank you again!

I finally got around to doing the third party waterslide decals.

>>14538384
Both, which is why I'm starting to think it's supposed to be that way but I wasn't sure.

>>14537272
L-lewd! Is there more?

HG or MG for first time gunpla?

>>14538704

HG, because if it's your first ever you're going to nub it up/gouge it to fuck because you have no technique. At least then, when you fuck it up, you're only out 10-20 bucks instead of 40.

>>14538704
Usually HG just because it's cheaper. MGs aren't any more difficult, just have more parts and cost more

>>14538704
If you're planning doing anything more than snapfitting, go for a cheap HG like a GM to try out all the techniques on, because that way when you inevitably fuck up something it'll hurt less
If you just want to snapfit feel free to go for whatever you want

>>14538713
>>14538716
>>14538733
HG got it, thinking of grabbing a zaku but I see that there's a bunch out there.

Does it matter which version I get?

>>14538742
The zakus from the HG The Origin line are the most recent and best zakus. Other than that, all HGUC zaku (except maybe the thunderbolt stuff) use basically the same mold, so it doesn't really matter.

>>14538742

Which Zaku?

The Origin Zaku II and Zaku I are amazing, but the 2012(IIRC) mold Zaku IIs like the Johnny Ridden/Shin Matsunaga/Zaku Amazing are very good too, with a flatter head look that adds a more aggressive appearance than the Origin ones.

For Zaku I you honestly can't go wrong, because even the old HGUC Zaku Is are quite nice.

>>14534878
I only have a Bandai Eva 03,I posted a bit up thead killing the Turn A.I think Koto`s are better if you don't like painting.

Shamefur display.

Hey everyone, I'm making a Twitter account for photos of Gunpla posing with Trump photos or merchandise. This is mostly non-serious and I am looking to get some photos from other people as I only have a couple Gunpla of my own. If you're interested post photos in response to this post or email them to me. Thanks in advance for all who participate!

>>14538048
that looks terribad desu

>>14538910

no, really

>>14538805
I don't have a graze, but I take it there's not much lateral movement to the ankles, unlike the Barbatos?

Anons, I've ordered the MG ez8 as my first master grade. Was this a good decision?

Anons, I just began the priming process for my first paint project, so I come here seeking for more than just generalized answers (per the guide).
I need some constructive feedback if you have it.

In this first pic, I attempted to prime, but had nothing to hold the pieces by, so they all lay in a box and I sprayed AT them.

This one is my second attempt at another bear guy. I finally got some sticks and clips and set them up and primed them that way.
I'm sure I've fucked up already, but I wanna make sure I'm doing it right.

Linear Regressions with Dummy Variables, ANOVA, Consumer Trends, SWOT Analysis: all of that is calculated at Bandai's office.

They don't SEE what is happened in the stores where we see the PHYSICAL and REAL happenings on a day to day basis.

Besides, forecasting is never correct. I'd trust trends I see with my own two eyes than an interpretation of NUMBERS

All I'm saying is corporate is more often than not out of touch with the stores. Do you think Bandai is able to keep track of the gender of who buys Gunpla?

I have no way of telling them the amount of girls that come into my store and what kits they are buying. This is the same for every other store.

Unless they give me a survey to fill out after each sale asking what gender the customer was, what age they were, and what did they buy, Bandai will never know.
