***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, don't 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.

Looking for suggestions for zoids to have someone start off with. I don't know zoids as well as I do gunpla, so not sure what to look for. Got a friend interested in the hobby, but he likes zoids more.

Do they clean up easier than sharpie?

A lot easier. A simple wipe with your finger or eraser works well, smudging is nonexistent.

There are also ones that fill the seams via capillary action, known as pour types.

It's just a slapped on GM and Gundam X Bit head onto the Impulse body. Like baby's first kitbash, of course it would look wonky since they're not meant to mesh and are just showing off new things with recent suits.
>>
>>14599858
I dig the GX bit head.

Also really dig the Impulse as a general GM type body. They need better backpacks if backpacks at all though. Also better armament for sure, cause theirs looks like garbage. I feel like a G-Bouncer shield would fit really well with them.
>>
>>14599875
>Like baby's first kitbash
My theory is that the cancer kid from Try made them (because of the Impulse body) so it makes sense they would look like a first attempt at a custom suit.

there are 2 kinds of snowflake powers in GBF universe.
Sekai is using useful snowflake power.
Lucus used useless snowflake power, and will be forever a loser.
>>
>>14599973
Sometimes I feel like the DX naturally should be towering over the GX units. Like, its proper height should be 1/100 while the rest are 1/144.
>>
>>14599970
orange peel is a bumpy but sorta uniform surface on the paint, that is something much worse
>>
>>14599977
I mean that Sekai randomly has ice powers now as of this OVA so he is as close as you can get to a literal special snowflake.
>>
>>14600023
I thought Fumina gave him the ice powers, while Yuuma gave him the lightning powers. He's always had flame powers. Still bullshit though.

>hating on G Gundam
No, it went full generic shonen with a retard that spams special moves. G Gundam is fucking great. Everything is fleshed out, especially the characters. It's a fun ride, that's both campy and serious at various points. Try on the other hand is just a generic cast of characters with shitty harem elements and even shittier mobile suits, just a sad attempt by banrise to push more model kits. It had none of the love that went into G gundam or the original, and as far as I'm concerned it's definitely the worst piece of gundam media anyone could watch.
>>
Ive always done my gundams snapfit with handpaints (if I painted). But I want to get into airbrushing. Atleast to try it. But I never go for the best when testing the waters, simply because ive done it to many times to dislike it after dumping money into it, so I tend to go with a happy medium to start and work my way up to the good stuff.

With that in mind, whats a good budget airbrush kit. Something 'cheap' (not lowest of the low, but not expensive either). Im planning on getting an Iwata IF I like it, but like I said, wanna try it first.

Can anyone recommend one?

The Gelgoog Marine definitely needs a Revive, the standard Gelgoog is fairly decent/solid though.

Badger Patriot 105 works like a charm, goes for cheap (70-80 bucks I think), and comes with a full warranty for free. Their customer support is really helpful and attentive too.

I'm working on a graze kit bashed with a origin gun tank's parts and I can't decide between one shoulder cannon with a metal barrel I had left over from a tank kit or just run two of the plastic cannons.

I want to say one because the metal part looks good, but I can't help by be bothered thinking about how unbalanced that Graze would be from having one giant cannon in only one shoulder.

This always bothered me in GBF. Check that out. He's got an MG ZZ-FA, right next to a HG V2, and they appear to be roughly the same size/scale. What lazy bullshit. Then again, GBF didn't stop and consider scale or grade at all except that one fight against a 1/48 Zaku.
>>
>>14601398
I think those are all implied to be 1/144 HGs, since MG would probably have its own weight class and HGs are the most common. PPSE/Yajima/Bandai/whoever makes the kits in that universe have made an absolute shitton of them, far more than we have in real life.
>>
>>14601383
I will admit some of the kits are pretty good despite the show being underwhelming. The Build Burning line has outstanding articulation, Star Winning is one of the better SDs, Denial is useful for the hair, and there's always more option parts coming out.

I built one of these long ago, in the olden times. If you are only used to Bandai plastic, prepare for some of the hardest, toughest plastic of your life. And also some really bad seam lines, although I didn't build this one specifically. I just remember that all the Koto kits from the old AC lines had at least one or two really bad seams.

Budgeting. Even if you're a barista, unless they are giving you shit hours you should have at least a hundred dollars of money all to yourself each month. That's more than 2 kits unless those 2 kits are ver.KA Master Grades + shipping.

Stop eating out so much, eat more of those free sandwiches Starbucks gives you at the end of each shift since they'll have to throw them out anyway, and stop going drinking with friends?

Jesus Christ, man. At least get your GED. They even have college courses now that last 2 months and cost 200 bucks and teach you everything you need to know to pass it. Hell, I think there are programs that let you take those classes for free.

>>14602187

Yeah, it's always the food.

>>14602191
I'm glad I'm not too picky when it comes to food.
I eat once a day and it's mostly cheap stuff I can make myself at home.

>>14602166

2 kits a month is acceptable though. I'm unemployed now and working through my backlog but when I was working I had a full 55 hour workweek and didn't have time to do more than snapping together 2 HGs a month, or 1 MG with all the decals.

Although if you seriously cannot afford more than 2 HGs a month you have bigger problems on your hands. You must live in Jew York Shitty or something and they only kick you 40 hours a week.

Depends on what you want out of it.

If you only care about looks in 1/144 it's the RG.
If you want it to look exactly like the anime one in 1/144, the old HGUC.
If you want to be able to play around with it but want something more detailed than the HGUC, the G30 HG.
If you want the most modern engineering in 1/144, the Revive.

If you want sheer size, the Mega Size 1/60 or PG.

If you want a 1/100 that looks like in the anime and comes with all the shit, the MG ver2.0.
If you want a replica of the statue in Japan, the 3.0.
If you want the most modern that combines the best of both worlds, the Origin.

Nothing really except for a few more decals that look better and should've been included with the RG, like the giant name sign on the shield. The MG, sadly, cannot hold its own weapon. Aside from that, is that scale, so it's better for ham fingered people.

The RG is more than likely the better buy.

No they're not you retard. They're partnering up with the services to list some items on the middleman sites so it's easier to select what you want to buy.

It's literally nothing more than a truncation of using a middleman service, the charges are still there, you're still buying through a middleman.

They're all middle mans, why do you think they mention system usage fees and proxy purchase fees? Samurai Buyer is pretty blunt about it but the other two sort of look like normal shopping sites, so I can sort of understand the confusion.

Quick questions about airbrushing and panel washing.

>Panel washing
Some guides dont say to, some do. So im asking here. Why would you coat your pieces with a gloss coat first. Im about to start airbrushing, so that means primer. If you recommend a gloss coat, would I still need it if I prime the parts? What does the gloss coat even do (besides the obvious make it look glossy).

What brand would you recommend for the paint. Ive seen everything from Rust-oleum with paint thinner to tamiya with lighter fluid.

>Airbrushing
2 quick and easy questions.

Can I use the airbursh to apply the primer coat (and if so, which brand sells the best primer coat for airbrushes (tamiya I heard was good) and do I need to water it down with thinner like the other paints?) or is it better to just get the spray can.

What color/brand gives the gundams that matted, flat white look as opposed to the shinny plastic look (pic related)
>>
>>14603953
panel line wash is easier to do on a gloss surface rather than a flat one
the clear coat also protects the color from getting marred by the wash, the parts are sprayed with flat or semi gloss clear at the end anyway
you dont have to do it, its best to just get a a test model to try all kinds of techniques on and find what works best for you

i use testors black and gray enamel with zippo oil

you can airbrush primer, and you should always thin paint out of the bottle using the right thinner
>>
>>14603969
What would you recommend for for the pre wash gloss and the finish gloss. ive always just let mine be after painting them
>>
Where's my fucking kit guys?

I agree. And from what I've seen of the RE1/100 line I'm impressed and believe they could do it justice. But it would not surprise me if it was yet another UC thing.

But then again, look at the previous RE1/100s. Nightingale, Gerbera, Gundam MkIIi, Efreet Custom... it's all UC. The time is right for them to release something else.

They have this idea that the little boys who watch Try will be turned off seeing a grill as the main character and will stop watching and not buy the toys.

Can they prove they got cancer from you? Not beyond a reasonable doubt. You didn't put that resin in their lungs. It was the wind. Completely unavoidable. It was an act of nature.

I've worked at Phillip Morris, you can trust me.

Just wet sand with a mask on in your garage and then vacuum it.

>>14605386
Why would you expect your customers to wait a year for something. People's interest wanes. This is the era of immediacy. If we can't get it now we lose interest. What if you went to your favorite resturaunt on date night and they said sorry everything you wanted to order isn't available, just wait a year?
I'm not talking about obscure kits that would just shelf warm like the HG blitz gundam or exs I'm talking about kits that sell out pretty fast every time.
Some people don't even stay in this hobby more than a few months, thats a lost opportunity.

what is the best finish for a kit /m/ and for what purpose. Aqua Gloss ? Clear/clear ? Semi Matte or Matte ?
>>
>>14605428

This hobby isn't for people who only stay in it for a couple months, and you can buy from third parties. What, you expect them to just print kits round the clock? They have a schedule and it works for them.

Bandai is still printing kits from the fucking 80s while developing and printing new kits, sorry they can't change it all around because you want your waifubot faster.
>>
>>14605433
Matte for "grunt" type suits.

Gloss for "regal" type suits.

This is the standard I use.
>>
>>14605436
Money doesn't care if you're in this hobby just for a short while. Money doesn't discriminate.

No one is saying reprint every fucking thing, but clearly the demand is there for waterslide decals everyfucking body uses them and they're out of stock for a looong time. Why??
If a kit sells out the day it goes up for preorder like nobel and gn archer pretty much do that should tell you something.

Same for FAGs and koto chain bases, but they're learning.
>>
>>14605447

They clearly have a rotation for this kind of thing while printing the millions of kits they have to print because there are still people buying R-Jarjas and Byarlants from the 80s.

Why are you so mad at Bandai like they are preventing you from just buying the kit from a third party if you want it that bad?

I remember two years ago or so the GN Archer was out of print and if you wanted one it was 25 dollars. So I bit the bullet and paid 25 dollars because I wanted one, instead of having to wait for one. That's how business works. I didn't cry that Bandai is oppressing me because they should be shitting out Archers monthly.

You can get aftermarket decals everywhere too. You can get literally anything in this hobby, you just have to look. You are bitching that Bandai doesn't constantly stock everything everyone might possibly need so people who are only in the hobby 2 months will be able to get at any time, like they're Wal-Mart or something. You are living in a fantasy world.

Finally a modern guncannon that's properly thicc. Looks like the upper body is a solid block but I can deal with it I guess. You can see on the right one that it has an ugly and contrived looking bit of plactic designed to help it hold it's machine gun but I guess you could paint that to make it look less unfortunate.

The MK II Titans is really fun to build, and it articulates really well. Also it's not like some RGs where it feels fragile, this one feels solid.

Leg lining is too thick, thin your paint, also cut off the safety nubs in the V Fin. You also missed some nubs there in the knee armor

Only three fingers and the gun is strapped onto the forearm. So the only function of the hand is to pull the trigger and therefore their aim is very restricted.

Hence they get butchered by MS-04 and 05.

removed the ball joints for the verniers and cut holes to accept IC sockets. The hole in the verniers was a little too big to take the 3mm led directly, but a piece of styrene tubing made them fit perfectly.

Its not so much the wire, it's my general lack of experience soldering wire. I either get too much solder on the iron, or I don't get it to properly encompass the two wires. Thats why I'm using this old kit as practice.

Also, has anyone used headphone wire? Got a couple of messed up ear buds and was curios if those were viable for this sort of stuff.

Shoulders aren't nearly dark enough to be the DX, and don't we already have a HGAW and a MG of this? Why would they make a RE/100 of a MG released fairly recently?

Yeah that wire should work fine too.
If you're having trouble with solder flow then invest in some flux, you'll get much cleaner joints and fewer dry breakages.
