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.

***Graze Group Build***
Rules:
Pick any 1/144 or 1/100 kit from the Graze family (Pic Related), and paint and customize it. As far as customizing it, I'm going to place a limit on that. The limit is 50% additions to the kit.
To define 50%, look at it like this, you could take a Graze Ritter and replace the arms (including shoulders), legs, and backpack and I'd call that 50%. I'm not counting handheld bits in that. If you're unsure of something please ask in IRC, the thread, or email.
Start Date: 12/1/16
Due Date: 2/1/17
Submissions go to

Submission format
Please submit photos in jpg via a compressed file (zip, rar, or 7zip), please don't link images to imgur or photobucket or the like. Please also include some WIP photos of the kits being constructed/painted/etc as validation that it's your custom.

Good to know you two don't bother reading the OP copy-paste, let alone the guide
How can the rules include not being a faggot when you both use it?
>copies the "there is no gunpla general discord" line in the op
>still posts a "gunpla general discord" post anyway
your continued stupidity is amazing.
Can I post my model or will everyone be complaining about ecelebs?
>>15052462
Don't give them the humility of calling them "e-celebs"
Good graze though, fir the group build right?

Hey boys, hows thehugboxgoing?

So I guess this thread isn't a hugbox because you're not going to spam your own thread?

Sure here's mine
Reminder that based Bandai Hobby Division makes their kits in-house using the cutting edge of injection molding tech.
Meanwhile Kotobukiya keeps raising prices for janky engineering and poor quality Chinese plastic.

Man that looks good
Does anyone know where I can download scans of:
- Hobby Japan older issues?
- Gundam Hobby Life (espescially 006)?
Thanks!
>>15052854
I got the Kamiki Burning which I don't know what to do with, never been a huge fan of that one so I've got to think of a neat way to customize it, and the Zaku F2000.
Not a whole lot but I didn't want that many, my backlog is too goddamn big as it is
>>15054503
im also digging that Nero style color scheme he went for.
>>15055381
why did you leave the seam lines on the side skirts? pretty sure those arent suppose to be there
>>15055591
they're supposed to be there, the third party modelers designed a huge groove to be there to hide the the seamline with their own panel line. they did the same thing on the shoulder missile launchers, sides of the legs and the head too.
>>15055626
ther art doesnt have that plus its not very aesthetically pleasing tbqh
WHY ARE YOU IDIOT ANONS REPLYING TO THIS
>>15055640
AKO Creation took some creative liberties with the mold to make it easier to manufacture, they were a small company so dont expect fancy technology and sharp casting. the whole thing was molded in fragile grey plastic like a military model and parts go together more like a tank kit than gunpla.
Part of my Christmas haul, a friend bought me the RG Sinanju. I've never thought about the RG kits and am quite intimidated by the thing
>>15055381
What`s the other smaller MS supposed to be? Are they the same scale?
>>15056927
It's the Nero from Gundam Sentinel, you can consider it a high end GM-type. It's in a smaller scale than the GM III next to it.
>>15056959
I was hoping it was some miniature MS...bummer. It looks really cool though.
>>15052854

Now you know how the inner frame detailers feel when they cover it all up with armor parts
>>15057255
when was the last time you detailed an inner frame? when was the last time you detailed anything?
Trying to build a spraybooth that won't blow up in my face. This a good fan for venting it?

>>15057269
Well for one I was talking about everyone who does in general.
Second, my Gouf Custom has a mix of gunmetal and steel so
>>15052269
You're getting really fucking stupid with these OP macros now.

MG Marasai
MG Gouf
MG Zakucannon
>>15058276
Is it the Gouf 2.0? Also let me know how the Zakucannon is.
>>15058286
Yup 2.0. Zakucannon looks cool as hell but I won't be getting to it for a while. Backlog and stuff.
>>15052269
My friend got me the Shin Musha Gundam MG 1/100 as a Christmas present. I was not expecting this.
>>15058636
Actually it doesn't even say grade of it but I'm guessing MG.
>>15058637
it says it right on the front of the box.
>>15052854
HGUC GM Command
HGUC GM Command space type
HGUC Ortega Zaku 2 ( the one with the huge axe)
Kotobukiya Eva 01
Also got Dom and Gusion Full Shitty on the backlog
>>15058666
The box doesn't say anything on it, just 1/100 but nothing denoting HG, MG, or whatever. He ordered it via that Wish app so you're probably right though.
>>15058254
>forgetting the beam claws
Thats one less zeek to deal with
>>15058254
>>15058786
>wat are beam claws

Dude same here, Grill got me a rg ver. Ka wing gundam and the roomies got me shin musha. Probs gonna play dynasty warriors again before I build the shin Musha
>>15052854
Freedom 2.0 MG
Nu Gundam Ver ka.
Gundam Portent HG
Zeta HG (I know shit posability)
Gouf Custom HG
Hyakuren HG
Just got finished with the Freedom, pretty happy with the build, even though i fucked a lot of decals up.
Well, I finally did it. Built my first kit today, the HG Gundam Revive.
How's it look?
>>15059300
...are you kidding me? Upside down? Here's the corrected version...
>>15059302
needs nub removal and panel lining
its fine for a first kit though
also you a missing 1 beam saber handle
>>15059336
Yeah, I just finished so I decided to take a break before doing any panel lining.
And you're right about nub removal. I tried to get as much of it off as possible, but there's clearly still some left. It helps a lot to see it in a picture like this, where it's way bigger than real life.
I found the saber handle after taking the picture and put it back on, and even redid the photo. I liked the composition of this one better though, so I figured I'd still use it.
>>15059341
What was your removal method?
Tips for painting gunpla? Don't wanna do anything to crazy at first, just wanna make my hg strike really shiny
>pic unrelated sorta
>>15059349
Well, clearly I didn't do much, and I may misunderstand exactly what everyone means by nub removal, but I tried shaving down a lot of them either with the craft knife or with sandpaper, especially with parts that needed to fit tight and which I feared it would get in the way.
Even then, I definitely missed some, and I got better at it as I went along, this still being my first kit ever and all.
>>15052854
Nothing so far. Have to go buy my own haul when the store reopens tomorrow. The new shipment came in on the 23rd, but I haven't had a chance to get in yet and they were closed today. I'll be picking up the RG Build Strike and the HG Vidar and Flauros.
>>15059353
Mmm maybe you didn't shave far enough down then
Also you can cut the middle of the front plateskirt so they move individually and you can cut those tabs off the v-fin
>>15057624
Shout "It's a gundam!" then fucking die.
>>15052269
Shopping right now for some new tools. How is the quality for Tamiya and Mr.Hobby tools? I have a pair of nippers from Tamiya that are really good shit, but I've never bought Mr.Hobby before. I'm considering it because they're a little cheaper.
>>15052854
RE100 Efreet
RE100 Bawoo
At least, that's it hobby related. I got a lot of artbooks and shit too. Need to pick up that PBandai Efreet Schneid and hope for an Efreet Nacht.
>>15053259
Did you use that reflective film thing to cover the the visor with? How did you get it done it looks fantastic
>>15052854
>>15057281
