Gunpla/Plamo General

== ACE PILOT GROUP BUILD ==

Starting September 1st, you have two months to build, customize, and paint a mobile suit of your choice into your own personal design. This can range from just a repainted Zaku to a kitbashed Gundam loaded with any spare rifles and Rocket Launchers you can find. Any suit from any series is fair game, just stick to 1/144 kits and you're good. When you're done feel free to post it in the thread, but also send pics to [email protected] so that all the entries can be judged/posted at once when the group build is over (If you don't want to be judged for the contest just feel free to mention it when you send in your pics).

Prizes include:
>1st Place: Any HG kit under $25 + an Action Base 2
>2nd Place: Any HG kit under $15
>3rd Place: An Action Base 2
(Note: Shipping is to USA and Canada only)

Group build ends on October 31st, lets gunpla!

I asked last thread but nobody responded, does anyone know if the HG Adele is compatible with the HG Full Glansa's equipment? I've been assuming yes because of how similar they are, but I thought it'd be better to make sure.

>>14783707
Depends on what you mean by compatible
You can slap the arms and legs on it no problem because that's a design trend from the AGE series, but I can't tell if the Glansa parts would slip right on over the Adele bits just by the manual.

>>14783716
More or less that, unfortunately, yeah.

OK guys, its that time of the week again. If suddenly gunpla battle was real and you can only use a 144 scale kit you own that is built. Which kit do you take in to the glorious battle

>>14783707
To make an Adele Full Glansa you will basically have to just swap the Adele's head onto the Full Glansa's body. The Glansa shoulder, chest, legs, and backpack parts only really connect to the AGE-1 and the skirts would need swapping anyways. The only thing you could directly connect to the base adele is basically the shield guns and they basically are identical except for the above parts anyways so you might as well just do a head swap.

If you want to keep the adele chest you will either have to give up on the backpack or mod it with a 3mm peg.

Hey /m/. I just got this badboy together and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I'm pretty close to callin it 100% done, but I feel like there's a little bit more that can be done to sorta bring it to that next level. What do you, skilled builders of /m/ suggest?

>>14783934
That's pretty fuckin rad anon.

>>14783856
>now
The fagbag has been doing it for a solid couple months if we're slow to make a new thread.

>>14783964
thank you fellow anon. It was one hell of a frankenstein operation! Used parts from like, 4 goddamn kits, but it was worth it!

>>14783934
I'd say touch up a bit of the lines and what not on the wing binders with black so they don't look so odd.

Other than that, awesome build! It's pretty badass, beetle-bot.

>>14784029
Mm, yeah I was thinking about emphasizing the lines on the wings a bit more, guess I just needed someone else to say it to give me that extra little push. I was considering painting the inner panels in the wings a dark grey, the pipes on it a light silver, and a red-black combo in the recessed "holes" to give them a sort of thruster-type feel. You think it would complicate things too much?

>>14783934
I'd say more details on the guns. Even just breaking it up by using two colours would be good.

>>14784071
yeah now that you mention it, they really could use some detail. I guess I was so focused on making the robot look god that I forgot all about the weapons!

>>14784042
I'd say that's all fine, but I'm iffy on the power lines being silver. I would probably have them red as well, similar to a few suits in Zeta. However, if you go with silver still, it won't look horrible.

I think having the inside frame parts of the wings a dark grey would overall mesh pretty well with the MS's colors. The idea behind the indents being red isn't bad either and might even go good with the silver OR red power lines.

All in all, I say go for it if you're willing to put in that bit of extra work.

>>14784097
ooooh, I hadn't considered red for the powerlines! I was sorta creating a "color code" in that red always represented the inside of a booster, but now... hmmm... now ya got me thinkin. regardless, great advice, man! Thanks!

>>14783882
out of curiosity, how'd you end up with a spare Sinanju? Or did you just decide you didn't want to bother with it? The only MG I have lying around in the Gelgoog 2.0.

Fuck the rules

>>14784115
To be fair, at the time I ordered it whole just to get it's beam rifle and didn't know any shops that did any specialty parts orders. Figured I get that, then either sell or trade it off.

But as for the Gelgoog? Gonna pass.

>>14783758
Heavyarms with a custom booster.
I would say 00 Raiser or an AWOT suit but given how like nobody even considered using them I have to assume there are major drawbacks like the handling is too high or something.

>>14784839
Exia and/or 00 Raiser because you have the Qan-[T].

Zeta because you have the MK. II.

RX-78-2 and/or MP Zaku II because you have Char's Zaku II.

Unless you're looking to start a new universe?

Can any SG anons recommend a good place to buy kits and tools? I order everything online and was wondering if there were any better alternatives.

do all gundam leds work in all MGs?

>>14783758
Gelgoog Jager after I paint her up a bit.

I love her so much.

>>14785115
I want to say yes, but there might be some older misfit kit where that isn't the case.

>>14785001
I'd recommend the Destiny, Red Frame Astray, or Strike.

For AC, I'd go with Wing Gundam Ver. EW instead of the WZC. Both are the same kits, essentially, but you get a little more out of the Wing EW.

>>14785108
Go to those HDB hardware shops or daiso for basic hand tools like diamond files, pin vise, sandpaper, baby vices, etc. Those cost much less than branded tamiya/hobbymate stuff and work just as well.

For more specialized supplies like tamiya masking tape, nippers, photoetch saws, hobby paints, etc go to sunshine plaza, there's two old timer hobby shops. Hobbymate just opened a branch at fortune center just across the street so that makes 3 good hobby shops in one small area.

Pretty happy with the way my zaku 2 turned out.

Hello lads

Currently working on a HG GP02A. Should I buy a HG GP01 and GP03 or just get a green zaku 2.0 next? All three kits are for sale at my local dealer right now.

>>14785294
Not that guy, but what about pla plates and the liquids for cast moulding. I only find the silicone mould thing on Art Friend.

>>14785395
HG01

>>14785397
For casting and kitbash stuff it's pretty much Artfriend or online. Artfriend has plaplates too, look for styrene plastic sheets, do not confuse them with acrylic or pvc sheets. They also carry the full range of stock styrene strips, shapes and sheets by evergreen http://www.evergreenscalemodels.com

Artfriend's materials are mostly cheaper than hobby shops but their tools are the more expensive xacto, olfa, branded stuff

>>14785424
Also i think those RC hobby shops may have those materials too but I haven't really explored them. They are all gathered in the basement of fook hai building

And since we're talking about local stuff, keep a lookout for this Bondite brand of epoxy putty in those hardware shops. It's cheap stuff made in malaysia or Indonesia idk but it has the same consistency and working times as Tamiya 2-part epoxy.

>>14785473
So is there a difference between the two-part epoxy putty and something like pic related?

>>14785696
Both are 2-part epoxy putty. The plumbing type hardens rapidly and uses coarse grains. The hobby types have finer grain and longer working times so you can take your time to sculpt it, smooth it out with water, etc.

>>14785686
Milliput is not a thing here, can't comment.

>>14785734
Maybe I'm not understanding this properly, but I've got a tube of that stuff here in front of me and what am I supposed to mix it with? Does it just react with air and I gotta be quick, or should I just assume I'm a nitwit for buying something unusable for this hobby and chuck it in my junk drawer?

>>14785761
Oh, so the hardening agent is in the core of the stick. I get it now. Thanks, anon.

>>14785748
For >>14785696 the two components are inside the stick as an inner core+outer layer. They mix when you knead it and become rock solid shortly after. It's packaged as such so that you do not need to proportion the components.

>>14785748
Unfortunately, the putty in pic related is more for repairing things around a house than it is for modeling. It can't be easily smoothed out, potentially can't be sanded, and won't hold detail well.

>>14785768

yeah just whip out the package and squeeze the shaft firmly. it will become rock hard real fast once its exposed to the air so work quickly

just be careful not to get any on your hands or face as it smells kind of funny. some people get dizzy

if it makes you feel uncomfortable then yeah just stick it back in your junk drawer no worries

>>14785872
>exposed to the air
It hardens once the components are mixed out of their layers, no air is required. It's plumbing stuff so it's designed to work underwater.

>>14786245

It's pretty nice. Quite sizeable. I personally like the design; quite 'out there' like a lot of the Titans suits. Fairly simple build with pretty decent colour separation helped by stickers (the orange strips). Quite flexible but some articulation (waist and head) are hindered by design because of the rubber tubings.

Honestly, if you like the way it looks, get it. It's a really good model.

>>14786280

I made pic related. The engineering is very similar to an MG. If your used to gundam, there WILL be a tiny bit of a curve, on some parts you might have to look twice. Also had to do a metric fuckton of hand painting/detailing. ALL of the gun were pretty much the same color plastic. This one also has balance issues, cause its so fucking top heavy. But I think stuff like that would depend on the specific kit. I have heard the metrick fucktons of paint thing, is common among koto kits.

Current backlog of stuff I picked up today at some local shops[minus the hydra]. Probably going to put together the X Maoh first, though right now it's a toss up between the X Maoh or the Gyan to build first... any Suggestions a/m/igos?

>>14787314
Joints on those GP Bases are plastic-plastic and they don't have screws, so it's incredibly easy to permanently loosen a joint to the point where it don't hold weight. Drill holes with a pin vise and stick a couple of screws in the joints to make them work like regular bases.

>>14787342
did I really just type out the phrase "don't hold weight"

>>14787343
Hey, you didn't type don't hold wait.

>>14787342
Thanks for the heads up on that... personally I only snagged them for the custom build strike I'm getting ready to put together "soon", and for my custom wing.

And it's cool anon, I totally understand the lack of sleep and in the plamo thread feel, the important thing is you got the point across. I'll be sure to mod the GP base.

Still torn on which one to start on personally. the worst part of plastic crack addiction... deciding which plastic crack to make first.

>>14787314
I'd like to see the Hydra if you ever finish it. It requires lots of paint.

Yeah I noticed those GUnit kits are kinda terrible.

Snapfagging them is ok... with some panel lining they look decent. but to really get them to shine, they need to be painted.

I snapfagged a Gundam Geminass the other day, and just didn't have fun with the kit honestly, so I'm a bit hesitant to do the Psycho till I have some paints and all ready to go.

Adventures in 0.01mm fine sawing returns.

Alternatively I can scribe an identical "panel line" on the other side to hide the seam, but scribing it kind of doesn't look convincing enough.

>>14787727
Cut the pegs and holes inside the armor and the inner frame (the non-visible parts), use cement to get rid of the seamline on the armor, and then thread the inner frame through the armor.

>>14787999
I don't have the slightest idea how I'm gonna drip the Future to tighten the gap when I thread the armor. I tried it actually on the Barbatos, but thinning the armor pieces leaves visible gaps. Otherwise, that armor fitting is actually gonna rattle with that gap.

Do I drip Future via those precision applicators they use for glue?

>>14787979
I mean they have most of the parts already to make a HGUC. Give it more time.

>>14787979

Probably not. They had a prime opportunity to make a 1/144 with little work by modifying the Byarlant Custom's existing model, but they didn't even do that. We'll probably never get a new model. They even made a P Bandai Exclusive Byarlant Custom from one of the Unicorn Mangas, but no regular Byarlant has materialized. I know, it hurts.

Waist itself barely moves but the legs swing outwards a bit, kind of like MMS (though nearly as much). Has the same problem as MMS did where it looks horrid from below/behind when they swing out though.

But yeah, definitely the best base body so far. The legs are back to balls though, wish they combined the swinging gimmick with the Jinrai/Materia legs.

The upper torso's articulation is particularly good, and I like what they did with the hair too.

Thanks anon, ill have to remember your advice from now on. Unfortunately I had 10 kits in my backlog after Japan then.

So far so good, waterslide application is the most satisfying way to do decals, its zen. Seeing how lovely it looks, did the head, body and shield.

My regret is not buying the normal cement and trying to seal up the large seams in the build. Unfortunately I don't have an airbrush to do painting after seamline application, therefore I will have to suffice with a topcoat or clearcoat afterwards.

Might do clear coat to match the Odaiba Gundam shininess.

>>14790797
Sort of. The assault rifles, harpoon gun and panzerfausts look alright on 1/144s like the GP01 and Bawoo, but the Shotgun needs something like a ZZ or Nu or a MG Victory to look the right size.

>>14790797

Been planning on this custom for a while, still gotta file a lot of stuff down and paint the damn thing, but I like how it's looking, big stupid boosters attract me for whatever reason.

The Hrairoo in itself is pretty great for an old kit, since it doesn't need to partswap when it transforms. Anything that does that is alright in my book.

>>14793159
You are correct, it was to highlight the new parts

Well I sure don't plan on leaving my in plane mode cause I love how it looks normally

>>14793199
That yours? Yeah, MS mode is really solid too.

The Advance of Zeta kits are great, really wish there were more of em.

>>14793116
why would you bother panel lining if you were just going to pull the pieces off of the runners and not even trim the nubs

Have you ever build a MG RX-78-2 before? If yes then go Wing, if not then pick the bestest RX-78-2

>>14793252
First MG ever.

Go for Wing if you want to take it easy, like steady accelerating from 1st gear to 2nd.

Go for RX-78-2 if you want the most fulfilling building experience of MG engineering.

Seriously, go for RX-78-2 and build it carefully, you can get RG Wing on another day.

>>14793252
Not that anon but I just ordered the 78-02.

There are waterslides or dry transfers for it right? No offense but I really fucking hate stickers.

>>14793316
I am that anon and I too wish to know the case.

pic is RX-78-2 ver 3.0

MG Origin Gundam has less stickers, but yeah, stickers.

You can get waterslides and extra accessories from P-Bandai DLC Add-on

I have an RG Zeta and I'm not sure whether to display it in Waverider form or not.

So I just built my first two GunPla and now that I'm more comfortable with the process I want to take a crack at panel lining. Is it more efficient to do it as I go or just work on the finished model?

Holy shit. I never realized how fucking HUGE the Turn X was.

Can you imagine trying to fight that thing in the RX-78-2?

>>14793487
its really to you. panel lining is pretty brain dead so youll do fine regardless

RG Nu
RG Unicorn

What's everybody working on? Just started my first build, a Zaku.

>>14793933
fuck it's upside down

>>14793933
Need to finish up my RG today. Panel lines, stickers, and topcoat.

>>14793525
Due to plot armor, wouldn't the RX just stab it in the cockpit and have it explode immediately?

>>14788712
When will this fucking safety nub meme die?

College life gets worse, doesn't it?

>>14794187
When people learn to take care of that shit.

>>14794279
Twice I forgot to get homework done for my "Computer Design and Digital Logic" course while working on my first MG. So yeah, it gets worse.

>>14794315

just wait until you realize you'll never actually need to know how a logic circuit works in any program you'll ever write and that the course was basically just for 'credits' and a diploma in exchange for money

>>14794315
>>14794347
I don't know how the duck you programmerbros do it, I can't wrap my head around that shit, even though I'm pretty good at math.

Are there any good "Coding for Retards" type books out there?

>>14794376
Fucking autocorrect, I meant what the fuck.

>>14793933
Just finished an mg build Mk-II.
Haven't panel lined or done decals yet because I'm tired of looking at the piece of shit.
They really fucked the dog on the back parts

no, just for dummies

Man pic related looks good

>>14794509
The thumbnail color scheme is perfect.
purple and white

Is ANT ever coming back?

Guy getting into gunpla.

I'm torn between Duel gundam Assault shroud, buster gundam, and the Jesta. Which one of the three should I start with?

>>14794800
Jesta, mother fucker.
