***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.

So, my dad is a pretty old immigrant from Lebanon, and as a kid he loved Grendizer.

He also likes building gundams with me, so I'd like to surprise him with a Grendizer model kit. I'm not knowledgeable at all on any plamo kits besides the gundam ones, what's the best Grendizer kit out right now?

There aren't any Grendizer model kits, but hunt around Ebay and Mandarake for the Super Robot Chogokin Grendizer. Amazon prices for it are overcosting it, so don't go there.

Those are demo kits, so its common for them to be misassembled or missing pieces.

The guncannon on the right is properly assembled, but on the left, it's missing a piece on the ankle and it uses the right leg's armor on the left leg.

Hi all. Have a kit question that I'm hoping someone here will have experience with. I'm starting to plan out a new kitbash, and one of the components is going to be the cloak and shoulder armor units from Gundam Sandrock Custom. Having owned one before, I know that the 1/100 kit comes with those, but I wanted to work in 1/144 if at all possible. Does anyone know if any of the 1/144 Sandrock kits comes with the dust cloak? And if not, are there any other kits that might? Thanks.

Nail polish uses acetone as solvent. It's like trying to get rid of lacquer or primer on gunpla; the only way out is to sand that shit down.

It depends on the suit but I can say that the majority of modern HGs look better than RDs with just some basic panel lining.

I collect RDs too but mostly for older/obscure suits that don't have a good kit.

Why the fuck do the 90s Gundams (aside from Wing) get shafted so much in terms of decent, modern kits?

They haven't been doing shit about it either, all recent HG releases have been all fucking Revive UC wank for kits that barely even fucking need them

Because all those 90s Gundams are either old, not as popular, or the designs are niche.

The kits have certainly got me interested in taking a look at the anime but there's so many different series that I have no clue where to start.

He used to spam images of his shitty snap fit G reco kits. Now he just purposefully acts stupid, offers bad advice, discourages modelers, and posts the same shit every thread. And then if nobody responds to his idiocy he samefags himself blatantly. If that's still not enough he gets pissy, takes off his trip, and starts spamming the threads with random images.

>>14656545
For X there's HGAWs of the Gundam X, X Divider, Double X, and Airmaster. There's also MGs of the X and Double X.

There were a few older kits though, but some are really crappy and can require a lot of work to make them look good. Leopard, Airmaster, their upgraded forms, Virsago, the G-Falcon, the X series, and Daughtress Command were all available, but many of these are long since discontinued and require moderate skill.

There's also the HGBF Gundam X Maoh and Leopard da Vinci kits, which I hear are pretty good too.
>>
>>14656606
First he started spamming thumbnails of all the images posted in the previous thread, then he bought 2 kits so he could spam pics of them, then he bought a whole bunch of kits and started using a trip, at the same time he started spamming those MG*.jpg files, and he's been at it for over 2 years now
>>
>>14656703
And I forgot that for old kits Gundam Ashtaron, Virsago Chest Break, and the Jenice Command were also available too. I think that's all of them.

>>
>>14656755
I got it, and while people argued about how hamhanded that one guy was, it can be very hand grenade-y. In particular the large backpack makes it backheavy, the shield makes it sideheavy, the wrist armour falls off most of the time you move the arms, i should probably glue those. if you take all the stuff off that makes it extremely heavy on one side or another, it's not too bad, pretty sturdy, it's the accessories that kill it. Additionally, some of the stickers are in places that bend 90 degrees, so small corners don't hold down all that well. In the end, give it a cool pose using a good sturdy stand and it should stay put, it can survive the occasional glance.
tl;dr it looks sexy as fuck but is iffy on staying together in places, great for display OOB

So, im planning out how to transform my GP02 into a Havel inspired mech suit (been wanting to do this since I saw build fighters).

This is what I got so far (no lineart of the shield, but its going to be roughly the same color with small hobby chains across it like havel), but I feel it needs more. Any feedback would be great as my MG GP02 will be finished soon and I want to start priming next week.

Random side question, if I prime it, will the texture rock spray stick to it or does it just look fucking bad. Im half tempted to try on my shitty 8$ HG's I got laying around, but id rather not waste the 3$ on the can of spray paint if someone else tried it or knows it wont work/look good

>>
>>14657844
There's no way waterproof wouldn't have been Pbandai, that thing is such a risk there's just no other way they'd have actually done it.
I don't agree with a lot of things being Pbandai only, Pale Rider, Heavyarms Kai, Altron, any of the crossbone hgs, but waterproof is a casualty I can accept because it suits what Pbandai was designed for.

SDF is my favourite mecha anime if that means anything to you, although you might not like it if you have trouble suspending your disbelief
>>
>>14657832

Local Type and Origin Guncannon are different molds that aren't connected to the Revive molds at all.

The Hyaku Shiki already shares parts with the Mega Shiki, any other Hyaku Shiki variant is likely P-Bandai. We might see a Zero Shiki, if Banrise decides to make Zeta: Define the next big thing thing after Origin.

>>14657857

>Disagreeing with the Crossbone HGs being P-Bandai

They're all just the X1 with 1-2 parts changed at best. Those actually deserve to be P-Bandai.
>>
>>14657874
I'm not familiar with the Local type mold so I can't say for certain, but the Guncannon origin definitely shares parts with the revive. It has a new backpack, a new set of hands, a shield and an alternate gun, but it's off the same mold.

>Crossbone deserve to be Pbandai
I'll accept it for X2 but, it's easy to have made the X1 kai kai and have given it alternate parts for standard X1, it could have had the anchor skirts and everything.
They did it for the VDash with the Hexa head and everything.

As someone who does own the Revive Guncannon you're absolutely wrong. The Origin one shares nothing with the revive. The easiest way to tell this is by looking at the thighs; While the Revive's are a single piece that the knee and hip joints peg in to hold in place, the Origin's looks to be your standard two-piece operation

Alright /m/ tell me how shit it is. Iv'e been working on this fucking thing for about 3 months. Most of that time was waiting for the humidity to NOT be high as fuck. I seem to ba having an issue with the gloss coat orange peeling like a mother fucker. The same thing happened on my wing as well. It seems to take way longer to dry than paint too. Also this thing is unbalanced as fuck, and therefore hard to pose. I was also surprised to find how much fucking painting this thing needed. ALL of the guns were pretty much all the same color plastic.

>>14659450
7/10 I'd say, shows promise and there was attention to detail. Always remember that koto kits will require a decent amount of painting, but you did pretty well it's just not the cleanest paint job ever seen. I feel like the next piece you do will probably be fantastic though, given the new experience from this zoid.

>>14659458
>puts a bit to much weight on the feet joints.
confirmed for anime accurate, Leena's gun sniper had shit mobility and was overhauled day 0 to accommodate the weight of her bulletstorm

To be honest I'd give it 5/10, but that's because I think the design is terrible and not the fault of the painter so... yeah. I think you should have not lined the orange with black, it's way too stark and contrasting. Brown would have been better.

Im posting something extremely subjective on the intenet specifically to be judged. I fully expect any an all pretentiousness. The paint job could be cleaner I guess. My brushes are starting to get a bit frayed, and my hands could always be more steady. I was thinking of painting the dino body a darker matallic blue. But then I saw how much pannel lining it need and decided against it. I find lining over something thats already painted to be kind of difficult.

They're good for kungfu fists as mentioned, but also more dynamic poses if you use one hand to hold something and the other hand with the open palm style.

You gotta be delicate with her. She's got a bad habit of having her limbs pop off when you poke her even the slightest.

>>14659893
It's a 2.0 so it's certainly not THAT old, and the RG is considered a hand grenade because of all the small parts. I'd assume it's not nearly as big of a problem at a larger scale.
Also, for clarification, partsformers are the kits that you need to take apart in order to transform. The MG Delta Plus is a transformer, while the HG Delta Plus is a partsformer, for example.

It's kinda hard for them to be popular. They didn't sell as well as the Gundams back in the day (and everything was dwarfed by Kira's machines), so they don't get reprinted all that often. Not to mention how poorly the old kits have aged compared to more recent stuff. So they're more expensive now and harder to find whereas Zeon shit is always there.

>>14660136

yeah but I think the first part is the most important, they would make new kits of them if the designs were more popular

What grit sandpaper do you use? I'm gonna go shopping soon and I want to buy the right stuff
>>
>>14660371

Is this from that IBO gekko shit?
On one hand this thing is so fugly and garish that it loops back around and becomes kind of amazing and I love it for its brutal ugliness.

Then I see that weapon and I lose it.

>>14660378
800, 1500, 2000. that will run you about $15 for 15 sheets, so fucking up and getting slightly different isn't a big deal, money wise, and there's not a huge difference between close grits

i don't the weapons or even the rest of the body just the legs

MGs are freakin fun

The detail is astounding, but this is probably all I'm going to do tonight.

That fucking dust on the hg

>>14660388
thanks anon, I start sanding with the lowest grit then work my way up, correct?
>>
>>14660476
Start with highest grit and finish on the lowest so you can get the best paint adhesion
>>
>>14660481
thanks a lot dude seriously

Is this the Nu?

Also, getting my bootleg PG Phenex this weekend. Getting hype.

I hope that elbow articulation isn't as limited as it appears to be.

>>14660505
Yep, the Nu Ver. Ka

My first MG, and I also bought the Sazabi Ver. Ka to go along with it.

Gonna be making the new thread shortly.

If you want your build featured in the OP, post it now, otherwise I'll use the last posted build as OP.

You're the anon from last thread who bought sazabi and nu because of how much you liking CCA right?

Pace yourself when you build it, otherwise it'll be a long and tedious once you get to the Funnels

I'm in the same boat it has an ugly charm to it, but the weapon is crap.

It needs a derply noble sort of weapon.
Something like Tryon's sword.

How much did you pay for both of those together? Everywhere I'm looking, that combo would be pushing near 200 burgerbux.

I want to pick them up eventually
>>
>>14660655
Since I live near GundamPlanet's physical location, I go there a lot. The physical store has punchcards where if you spend a total of $200 from various purchases at the physical store, you get 15% off the next purchase.

Only paid 140, it would have been 160 otherwise.

SATAN TRIPS

and holy hell do I sound like a shill in that post, still though, go to the store if you can, its beautiful and the employees are really cool guys
>>
>>14660655
Not him but if you lurk Amazon long enough, you can grab both for around $150.

I've seen the MG Sazabi ver Ka go as low as $80

MG Nu ver Ka usually stays around the $60 price range

checked

The weirdest price I've seen for that combo was like 180+shipping from amazon.

>>14660677
For some reason the Sazabi is fucking 120 dollars there right now. wew

Shit I forgot to ask in my last post, but fuck it we're past bump limit anyway.

Where is GundamPlanet even, it's be nice to go there. I assume it's in America? Is there only one location? I bet I can find this information in the guide.
>>
>>14660683
>For some reason the Sazabi is fucking 120 dollars there right now. wew

Because its shipped by Japanese dealers and not by Bandai/Bluefin

If you wait for Amazon to restock, it'll likely be much cheaper.

New Jersey in the US.
>>
>>14660698
Palisades Park, New Jersey. And yes, there's only one location.

Frankly, if you do venture out there, be careful coming back. If you miss an exit you could end up in Lodi, and you'll regret that. I know I did, got my car pelted with beer bottles.

I'll probably try to go to GundamPlanet if I ever make another pilgrimage to the old colonies. In like 10 years
>>
>>14660720
>mfw california
Same, anon. I don't have any family or friends that live near there though, so I don't have much of a reason to head that way, which kind of sucks since anons here have said it's a pretty cool place and I'd like to eventually check it out at least once.
>>
>>14660666
Even with 15% you're barely hitting average prices.
>>
Is there a problem with the metal composite gunplas?
I have a chance to get one so I'm kinda curious.

>>14660371
I hope when this shows up cheesy spanish bullfighting music plays.
