Gunpla/Plamo General

Do we want a edgelord group build in the vein of >>14631468 and >>14629374 ?

OK last topic ended with good question(is HG Neo Zeong worth the price), but I will change it.

PG Unicorn or HG Neo Zeong?

I'd be down for it. I've got a Crossbone Maoh lying around that I could kitbash with something, and I'd love to see people try to out-edge one another.

>>14634035
Ehh why not. I got a snapfitted Grimgerde and some pla-plates ready for some edgy customizing. Wouldn't need to do much really.

>>14634101
I saw 2 other gunpla builders about a week ago on /k/. Probably not many tho

Have you guys done a boxing theme build yet?

Or how about Olympic athletes since the games are going on?

>>14634147
Could do a country theme similar to G gundam but I was thinking the edge build might be a good halloween-ish idea.

Now for reattaching it, would I be okay using glue, or would I be better off in buying some plastic cement?

Not that anon, but I'm in a similar situation.

Is it safe to just slap some cement on the break and hope it holds? The piece is too small to go drilling holes to pin it.

>>14634945

>>14634880
In the process of a Psycho Zaku. I actually finished the snap fit, but working through detailing now. That's a good looking Gouf.

>>14634948
Yes. Cause the cement bonds the plastic together.

>>14634945
H-honest typo! Honest!

>>14634948
it's actually not too small, you simply need a small enough drill bit.
You COULD throw on some plastic cement and hope it holds well enough but it probably won't hold weight nearly as well as a pin.

Psycho Zaku is a fun build too. Careful when you put it up on display, if it falls, you'll be losing plenty of those tiny thrusters forever. I had to learn that the hard way.

It's an easy mistake to make on any given day, I made a similar mistake on one of the Mega Shiki's leg pieces. I was having fun with the posing and I went a bit too far without noticing how much force was going on it. Broke one of the legplates. Took the other one off to match, but it's not a big deal because I display it from the front anyway. Still though, feel like an idiot when I think about it.

Decided to do some weathering on the kit, now that the white has set for a few days. Did a first pass with aluminum paint, and I'll go for a black next. Might do a diorama for it, which means I'll probably add some dirt marks down the line.

>>14635246

I don't know what you could fuck up since the eyes come pre-applied. So it's not an issue unless you're changing its skin color, in which case it comes with another set of decals.

And if you still need decals on that of that, the brand HiQ Parts makes several sets of anime girl eye details that work perfectly on FAGs.

>>14635243

Am I missing something?

>>14635257
I paint to get a matte finish. I know they come with a couple extras, but I just have poor luck with objects delicate enough to be destroyed with an involuntary twitch.

Also I saw some of the recent hiq parts offerings but they looked a little more moe than my liking, also I wasn't sure if 1/12 was quite the right size since I know nothing about doll scales.

Oh my god I am a fucking idiot.

>haven't painted anything in a while
>get on a gunpla kick after trying out the MG Jesta
>decide to at least try panel lining ans top coating them
>go with Tamiya accent color cause it is recommended everywhere ovef gundam markers
>try it out on Freedom 2.0 and the Jesta instead of the 1/100 Barbatos
>panel lining and cleaning with enamel thinner damp cotton swab goes fine

Holy shit I am such a fucking retard. The bits and pieces that fell off are at least easy to glue on. But the V-fin is DEAD.

and the worst part is that somehow it also got through my Jesta. An arm peg just melted and the waist is destroyed. AND I LOVED THAT KIT.

Oh, carry on. Hell, even my RG Zaku isn't a 'hand grenade' like people meme about here.

>>14635271

Well like I said, it comes with another set of eyes on the waterslide, specifically for people like you.

1/12 is the perfect size for FAGs but if you don't like the HiQ parts ones I don't know if there's other options. I think after that all you have left, is that the Gigantic Arms 01 seems to come with a sheet.

>>14635284
the tamiya stuff uses stronger thinner, like most actual enamels so that'll happen.
just use lighter fluid, its a bit weaker and shouldn't do that. made the same mistake of using too much on bare plastic when i first started washing

>>14635307

Take a photo, faggot. I want to see.

>>14635284
You've learned two lessons today son, enamel thinner eats plastic and test on your runners.
I hope you take that to heart when you build Jesta II

>>14635297

unfortunately most of the extra eyes on that sheet are winking, sad or rape eyes...

im looking at some of the older hiq's but they have these thick long eyelashes

I think they were designed for goth lolis or something

>>14635284

at least it wasn't a jesta cannon. nothing of value was lost

>>14635325

Yeah but two sets of those eyes are normal eyes. Including the ones that come with the FAG that's three tries. It's good enough.

Also

I was under the assumption that you
>Gloss coat
>panel line
Is this only true if doing a panel wash?
I'm panel lining with gundam markers, and the marker just keeps drying out so I have to scribble on scratch paper to get the ink again.

picked up an HG Kimaris trooper today. Any issues I should know about so I can fix them as I go?

>>14635242
>>14635196
Usually the people who call kits handgrenades are fat American autists with sausage fingers, dyspraxia, and Parkinsons who don't know how to move models or how much pressure and strength to apply when doing so.

>>14635307
Just post it in r/gunpla. It's a hugbox. No one will make fun of you there.

>>14635337
The panel lining gundam markers?
You don't really need a gloss coat for them, unless you've painted the plastic underneath

>>14635349
but autists are better at building toys than anyone

>>14635373
Well shit. I know that next time

What are my options for satin topcoat besides Tamiya flat base + Future or Vallejo's satin varnish?

I don't recall Krylon ever having such things.

>>14635494
satin or matte

>>14635493

Too bad it can't hold its own gun due to them cheaping out on the joints. I mean yeah, one of the easiest mods out there, but still, this is something that you shouldn't have to do..

>>14635388
I agree with you there. I'd try and thin the paint out, but would only end up getting more on there. But, can't learn anything without trying and failing. after the black, I'll go back in with white and paint over things a bit. I'd like to ask, however, which areas are more acceptable so I know what to aim for as I go. I know the thighs will have more scratches since the beam cannons/rail guns would rub up against it.

These are the two satin finishes that I can readily get.

Your opinions?

>>14635551

Oh, I assumed you had seen those and didn't like them because they were too moe.

There's another set that's also got sharper eyes. Anyway glad it worked out for you.

>>14635556

You generally want to stay away from Krylon because it tends to go on very thick. Don't know about Liquitex.

>>14635576
I haven't figured out how to get results properly with Krylon, because even at six inches away it's not going right. Either there's no paint landing on the surface, or paint splatters onto the surface because I inched it close enough.

How do you guys do it with Krylon?

>>14635589
you sound like you're spraying in very humid and hot temps. I've sprayed krylons uv matte and had okay results, its definitely thicker and less smooth then tamiya or mr super clear but it works okay

If you're the anon asking about varnish and satins I don't know anything about them, satin paint looks like shit on most models

>>14635589

Mostly just on the hand, but the rest looks really solid.

>>14635700
For us nogunsicans, what does that mean exactly?

Is it impressive? Is it not impressive?

>>14635734
10milimeeter is a pretty uncommon type of round. 60 grains is the ammount of powder in the round and 2400 feet per second is how fast it reavels.

>>14635734
like >>14635740 said 10mm is an uncommon and pricey caliber that is more powerful than pretty much every other handgun bullet besides large magnum rounds from huge revolvers.

grains(gr) is the weight of the bullet itself and fps is its velocity when leaving the barrel. 10mm is usually around 180gr at 1200fps, while smaller 9mm is 115gr at 1250fps out the barrel.

those bullets are 60gr at 2400fps, one third the weight but twice the speed of a normal bullet, closer to that a rifle round.

WHEN IS THIS GLORIOUS MOBILE SUIT GETTING AN OFFICIAL MODEL KIT???

I read here that the Gyan is a good kit to practice on.
I've not built any plamo for months.

So is there some kind of warning list or something out there for kits made of explodium? I hate buying kits only to find out they're goddamn grenades that explode to bits the second I set them on a shelf, and it's a pain in the ass to have to hunt down a review of every single goddamn kit I want to buy so I'd rather just CTRL+F a goddamn list of "these will explode" kits.

I'm about to jab you in the face

>>14635708
the good thing about painting is if you aren't happy with the result you can just dunk the kit in 50% bleach 50% water and start all over again.

don't let this discourage you. keep practicing on this same kit till you get it down

>>14634880
I'm almost done with a MG Gundam 3.0. Just need to sticker and flatcoat.

>>14635284
I just bought the Tamiya black accent color and now I'm scared. Should I glosscoat my next kit 3 times before applying anything?

>>14636488

I THINK it's because of the thinner used to clean up the excess. Maybe.

>>14636499
Good thing I have a lot of sprues for testing. I wonder how badly it'll disintegrate?

Is Tamiya extra thin cement the best choice for repairing broken pieces?

How do you choose your gunpla?

Do you pick them based on aesthetic? On which series you like?

>>14636633
Series.

>>14636488
>>14636499
You just need to be careful with using it. Letting thinner pool will definitely cause problems. Maybe stick to lighter fluid for cleaning to be careful but always make sure you dont use too much.

>>14635898
The RD figures and gunpla are made by two seperate divisions of Bandai that don't really work together on things.

>>14636766
An example is how both the toys and hobby divisions had their own SD Gundam model kit lines in the mid-90s.

>>14636633
Both, they're pretty interchangeable.
It helps if I like the series, but some suits are just damn good even if the series wasn't too great to me. Which is also why I can get kits from series I'm unfamiliar with like basically any Astray, AGE suits, the Destiny Gundam.
Most common is by series though, I'll be watching and I'll see something that looks good, and then I'll look for a model of it.

good news friend, HGUC GM Ground Type

It's amazing how much better a matte finish can make a kit look. It's like night and day.

>>14636800
Wait what

Are you shitting me

Im working on a 1/100 barbatos and I want to paint it, and then battle damage it/weather it.

The problem is the frame has a lot of stacking parts, like tubes and pistons and shit. Would it be better to prime the parts all together as one frame or big chunks of the frame one by one.

>>14636810

How could you not have heard?

>>14636814
I don't keep track of what's going on in the hobby anymore, I got tired of constant disappointment and zeek shit.

I'm guessing it was discussed in the general, but yesterday was the first day I checked back in here after taking a long break from the hobby.

Oh man, that looks amazing.

Buddy you didn't just make my day, you made my whole year. I looked it up and all it says for a release date is 2017, kinda bummed that I've got to wait a long while before this comes out, but it still makes my soul feel good knowing that this exists.

Thanks, anon. Looks like I picked a good time to get back into the hobby.

Anytime man I'm pretty hyped too, I love the heavier set jims and maybe we'll get a GM revive line.
Guncannon early type is pretty sweet looking too.

>>14636834
Dunno, but it's possible it's just a prototype mockup and that'll change during production.

>>14636836
I really hope this means we get a GM revive, yeah. And I REALLY hope this means they'll release the GM MSV's using the mold, even if it's P bandai.

And yeah, that's a really good looking Guncannon. I'll pick up one or two of those too. I'm so happy the feddie suits are finally getting more love and attention instead of just constantly shoving Zakus down our throats.

>>14636845

We got the Revive Guncannon and Origin Guntank. Those were really good too.

>>14636850
Oh nice, I'll definitely pick those up too. I loved the how the Guntank looked in the Origin manga.

Speaking of, I heard the Origin movies have only covered Char's backstory and has been nothing but Charwank. Will they stop after the Char arc or continue to animate the whole story? I'd love to see those origin GMs animated.

I dunno man I dropped it after the second one because it was just too much Charwank, and I hear the third is even worse. All I care about is that we get some sweet kits out of it.

The Origin Guntank in particular seems to be a fantastic but underrated kit. No one ever talks about it.

Look at this shit, what the fuck.

The Revive Guncannon is incredible too. Really simple build, looks amazing, and is sturdy.

>>14636876
I think there was a general consensus that the Early Guntank was phenomenal and then that's when it dropped out of conversation.
I haven't gotten mine yet, I got side tracked with some of the recent restocks and newer kits.
The fact that the revive Guncannon requires no stickers is a point no one mentions, it's such a good kit and it highlights the best parts of the Revive line.

>>14636876
Shit, that's some amazing articulation for a Guntank. I'm getting hype for gunpla all over again, I missed this feeling.

>>14636908
That's pretty amazing, I'm so glad there's so many good Feddie gunpla out now.

Not that I'm complaining, that's amazing. I'm a little turned off by the fact that it's p bandai and we'll end up paying at least double the price, but I can't be too upset because at least it exists.

If they're willing to make the Waterproof Gundam, it makes me excited wondering what other old MSVs they'll be willing to release next.

Planning to get this as my first Gunpla (though I've had experience in plamo via Zoids).

I like my models with many accessories so does this give me good bang for my buck?

>>14637170

It comes with a lot of stuff but that kit is old and crappy. If you have plamo experience maybe you want to get the HGCE Aile Strike, which is newer and really good, and then try to mod the Perfect Strike parts onto it.

>>14637189
>old
>2013

what

>>14637189
it may be old, but it ain't crappy. I had no problems with mine.

>>14637106
Actually, P-Bai has started a kind of "Official" middle man service.

If I understand it correctly. Certain prominent middleman sources can become official international sellers for certain P-bandai products (Which is fuck nothing at the moment last I checked). Basically you order it from the p bandai site, select the middleman, unfortunately pay the middleman price (which will potentially be a bit less severe if they are official now), and the kit ships to the middleman who ships it to you.

No idea why bandai can't just ship it directly to you though.

>>14637198
Jap export tax is really gay, and probably makes year end taxes ultra gay.

>>14636633
As a general rule, I don't buy kits from series I haven't watched yet, as I like to see the robots in action first, even if I end up despising the series. Beyond that I choose robots that I liked and hope they have a kit.

>>14637195
The base kit uses the original hgseed strike mold. Which is over a decade old.

>>14637170
If you really like SEED desgins then any of the remaster HGs are ok but the HGCE line is actually garbage engineering wise since it was a strange time for gunpla where 1/144 was still garbage. There's seam-lines everywhere, poor articulation (which is worsened by the fact that it's the perfect strike) and very meh color separation.
If you want a lot of accessories then get the EZ-SR from build fighters since it comes with parts for three different configurations or alternatively grab the Star Build Strike if you /really/ need SEED.

>>14637198
Wow, times really have changed since the last time I was in the hobby.

But if I'm understanding what you're saying correctly, they don't have any official middlemen yet?

>>14637209
Or get both Build Strike AND Star Build Strike.

can someone tell me what the fuck happened to AKOCreations?

can't find anything, no one selling their old conversion kits, either.

Had an itch to make some MG-sized re:barzams.

Sorry, it's just my first model in a long time and choosing from the literal wall of plastic robots in the hobby shop is sorta daunting.

GM Sniper K9 has guns for days. Pullpup, two pistols, sniper rifle, bigger sniper rifle, beam sabers, heat knife.

>>14637246

Yeah, look. The one on the left is the Perfect Strike you want to buy. The one on the right is the modern HGCE Aile kit. There's a clear difference.

If you have been out of this hobby for awhile you should just get the Aile because it's a nice build and engineered well, nubs are pretty well hidden, and it's hard to fuck it up.

Then you can tackle harder things.

If you still want a kit with lots of shit straight out of the gate there's the Leopard Da Vinci and Amazing Red Warrior too

You can get IBO kits on Amazon pretty cheap. They also sell GM Command Space for 11 dollars with Prime. I would buy one of those and practice on it. There are also Hi-Mocks.

>>14637262
HGUC GMs, Zaku IIs, RX-78-2s, HGBF Hi-Mocks.

Ever since they rolled out the Revive Gyan, the old HGUC Gyan has also become cheap as fuck. It's like four dollars for one on AmiAmi.

>>14637272
>Bought four Gyans

This is fact

Gray or black for panel lining a white kit?

>>14637322
I use black, mainly because it stands out more, but grey looks great too.

>>14637322

Gray is better overall, more subtle. But black is good for high contrast on angular kits, like something from AGE for example.

>>14637310
Why would you type that?

>>14637347
He's probably autistic.

>>14637322
Use a combination of both, black for panels you want to stand out and grey for everything else.

For anyone whos mixed their own primer, can I paint it on with a brush for smaller areas if I dont want to use my airbrush or is that a bad idea.

>>14637404
>Handbrushing lacquer

Bad idea. It dries far too quickly to handbrush. It wouldn't level well, would quickly dry on the brush, and each stroke would pull up previous layers.

You don't make any sense. After you glue and sand and process seam lines and actually properly build the model and put the primer on you arent allowed to use the correct color? What kind of tool puts clear coat on the bare plastic and thinks thats acceptable? maybe you need to stop making excuses for being lazy.

theyre toys that you put together like legos. try building an aircraft

>>14638863

It's like the same shit but you have to use cement instead of pegs. You are still assembling a toy, stop being a faggot about it.

Like >>14638415 I'm hoping it's Ga-Zowmn because it fits better with the other Re/100 entries. The Bawoo already has an HGUC >>14638820 >>14638825 with modern (aka thinner) proportions, even though it is very old at this point, while the Ga-Zowmn is a more obscure kit that would be a better suited to the line. Also the gimmick of the bawoo means the the mobility would be more limited than just about any other 2000+ 1/100 kit, even ZZ. I just think Ga-Zowmn makes more sense considering these factors. However, the picture of the Re/100 shadow is heavier on the right side, like the shield of the Bawoo, and light on the left where the Ga-Zowmn wouldn't be due to the hyper knuckle buster (lol seriously that name).

My favorite theory is that the shadow was the Gazu-L and Gazu-R standing in a line, but I highly doubt it. Can you imagine if the surface detail had the original nagano frilly shit? That would be amazing.

and yet snapfaggotry doesn't exist in the real modeling community. Nobody just glues together a tank and puts topcoat on it and calls it done. Its a form of laziness that's inherent in this gunpla hobby

>>14638904
why do people care so much about this kit from ZZ? Its the worst part of U.C.

Why don't you go back to /toy/ then instead of bitching here, in the gunpla thread, which is filled with people who like what you hate?

ZZ had some cool designs.

Doven Wolf.
Zaku III.
R-Jarja.
Bawoo.
Dreissen.
Ga-Zowm.
Galluss.
It goes on.

why do you care about what cartoons are "good" when the design elements of suits is all that is interesting in the end

Just plug the filename into imgur.

I'm surprised someone in THIS day and age doesn't recognize imgur filenames.

I've known, but I haven't really examined any MG's closely since I'm new to this whole thing.

I would have bought the MG Turn A if the HG wasn't on sale for 10.
