GUNPLA/PLAMO GENERAL: Dusty Fleamarket Zeta Edition

== 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!

Seriously, just get a pair like these from a hardware store. They're a simple tool that was around long before Gunpla. No need to overthink this.

>>14845171
Those will do, but it's better to get a set made for that. They're usually thinner and can get a cleaner cut, which is especially nice if you're just doing snap fit.

(Repost)

I'm selling/trading away a MG Sinanju Ver. Ka. Only thing missing is the beam rifle, but everything else is still sealed up. I'm up for offers, but I'm looking for mostly is a Zaku II 2.0 or a MG Gelgoog.

Fuck feddies

Post zeeks

Bonus points for amphibious rape machines

>>14845285

It is. I do it because I care. Even if I get shit on for it.

Is the HG Barbatos any good? I'm planning to get it alongside the RX-78 revive for my first pair of gunpla.

>>14845126
>always cuts the thick part of the runner first
I do that most of the time too, but my nipper doesn't look like that at all.
Are you sure "being cheap as fuck" is not the issue there?

Just finished working on this guy

This was my fourth kit and my first serious attempt at panel lining and I'm mostly happy with how it turned out, I'll probably just go back later and touch up the legs (especially the right one), and I don't really like how the eyes sticker ended up looking but there's not as much I can do about that now

I think I'm getting decent now at removing nubs with only a hobby knife so I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to grab some sandpaper/sanding sticks anyway or just keep doing it this way

>>14845339
yes it's good. It funded S2 of IBO.

I've been debating getting a new or better sprue cutter. I don't really know what could be better since the one I have works fine. I probably won't buy a new one yet for that reason, although suggestions wouldn't hurt.

Also this is my Turn A.

I'm finally giving these away to my best friend for free

I've had them sitting in my closet for about 18 months.

I don't have the drive to build gunpla anymore

>>14845959
>Buying RGs

Well it's no mystery.

Someone want to make a real thread?

>>14845959
I think I remember you. You're the guy who bought all of those for like 5 bucks each right? I would ask for one but I hate the Destiny and Strike Freedom.

>>14845967
$10 actually.

I have an uncontrollable urge to spend my disposable income on stuff.

I do want a Pale Rider though.

Special snowflake variations of mass produced units gets me diamonds.

>>14845959
>I will never have a RG Destiny Gundam

>>14845959
I'd really like an RG but these gunpla you have there don't really interest me. Sorry.

>>14845959
>there is a Strike RG hidden in there
Which state are you in?

>>14845126
That's not something that can be caused by cutting normal plastic runners.

You either need to get a better pair of nippers or better relatives.

>When painted on ABS resin parts, the paint penetrates into the resin and the parts become friable or develop cracks. Check the instructions in the assembly manual or on the parts runner and try to avoid painting on "ABS resin parts".
When it says "ABS resin" does it mean the usual ABS plastic sometimes found in gunpla or other type of ABS found in rarer kits (like garage kits)?
Because sometimes people mixing up plastic/polymer/resin

>>14845331
No he meant why do you and your friend shitpost where you are absolutely not wanted

>>14846094
Because he knows you'll give him (You)s

I built my first Gunpla blind with a pair of nail clipers/file and nose pliers. It's a 1/144 Catsith and I'm very proud of it. It's a bit rough in places but I'm satisfied.

Shitty phone quality incoming
